Grievances Soaring to the Heavens

However, since the four elders had accepted Yin Yunze's offerings, and Yin Yunze had behaved so well, they began to treat Yin Yunze specially.

Furthermore, along the way, Yin Yunze noticed that the pedestrians all ignored them.

But if these four old men were to be angered, a scene might unfold where a minor deity is dragged for miles by an invisible force.

Wow, that scene is too beautiful to look at.

Even Judge Li probably wouldn't get involved in this kind of thing.

After all, it's just a small offering from you; how can that compare to the friendship we've built over hundreds of years?

At most, it would just be a matter of letting those four old men vent their anger, and then having Yin Yunze offer some incense as a token of respect.

But at that time, not only would you have to offer more incense, but you would also lose face, and most importantly, people wouldn't appreciate your kindness.

Unlike now, it takes so long to walk these ten-odd miles.

It didn't feel like escorting a prisoner at all; rather, it felt like letting Yin Yunze experience the wonders of Shrinking the Earth to an Inch.

Although it was someone else who pulled me along, this experience was a completely different feeling compared to the Earth Escape: Earth Vein Power and the Flowing Light Escape: Returning to the Divine Statue.

Once on the road, the five people, including Judge Li, seemed to revert to their official duties, remaining silent and focused solely on getting there.

However, Yin Yunze was not flustered. From the kind eyes of these people, Yin Yunze could guess that they were probably avoiding suspicion. After all, they were there to do errands for the City God. What kind of thing would it be to be friendly with Yin Yunze, who was nominally a sinful god?

Often, maintaining a proper distance, seemingly remaining objective and neutral, is the best approach for both parties.

If Yin Yunze continues to pester these people with suspicion, it might backfire.

Under this Shrinking the Earth to an Inch, what seemed like a leisurely stroll took only eight or nine minutes before Judge Li and his party brought Yin Yunze to the outskirts of Qingling County.

Once they entered the county town, the group resumed their normal pace of movement.

I don't know if the slowing down was to avoid hitting someone, or if there was some other reason for it.

However, it is precisely at times like these that we must be especially careful.

So even though he had some doubts, Yin Yunze kept them to himself and didn't ask.

As Yin Yunze followed them to a spot where they could see the City God, suddenly, a person darted out from the side.

"Come with me now!"

Before she could say anything clearly, she called out urgently and reached out to grab Yin Yunze's hand.

Yin Yunze instinctively dodged the attack.

Yin Yunze doesn't have the habit of holding hands with strangers.

"Satyr?"

Seeing the figure stumble as he dodged, Yin Yunze casually asked a question, but then immediately realized something was wrong. Being led by the Black and White Impermanence, Ox- Ox-Head and Horse-Face, she shouldn't be visible to ordinary people!

Moreover, what normal person would dare to clash with the procession of the Black and White Impermanence- Ox-Head and Horse-Face?

Upon closer inspection, Yin Yunze then noticed.

The figure was actually a young man in his twenties—or rather, a male ghost.

However, what caught Yin Yunze's attention was that this male ghost possessed the Dynastic Karmic Luck.

Although she was far inferior to Magistrate Xu Hanxian and Orthodox God Yin Yunze, she even surpassed Magistrate Zuo Xiaoyu, the wife of the magistrate.

By the way, Judge Li and the four gentlemen also possess a much deeper Dynastic Karmic Luck than Yin Yunze.

"I'm not!" Hearing Yin Yunze's misunderstanding, the man quickly reached out his hand again and said, "Girl, come with me quickly! That City God is a lecherous fiend. If you go into the City God, you'll definitely be harmed!"

"Uncle Li, aren't you going to do anything about this?"

Although somewhat bothered by the male ghost's words, Yin Yunze immediately made his stance clear. "Shouldn't you have arrested this rambling ghost?"

Yin Yunze also a little curious. What kind of ghost was so bold as to dare to cause trouble for such a group of old men?

As a ghost, standing before the City God, in front of Martial Judge, the Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, I bitterly cursed the City God as a lecherous ghost.

Bro, who gave you the courage? So brave!

Besides, are you the City God's second uncle?

"Provincial Graduate Guo, stop messing around!"

What puzzled Yin Yunze even more was that Judge Li didn't do anything to Provincial Graduate Guo. Instead, he said with some helplessness, "This isn't some young lady; she's the Lady Qingnü of Clear Creek Village! Not some weak woman who needs your protection!"

"The Lady Qingnü? Shouldn't the Lady Qingnü be a Nine-Tailed White Fox?"

Provincial Graduate Guo was taken aback upon hearing this, and after carefully examining Yin Yunze, he suddenly realized, "It really is Lady Qingnü! I apologize! I didn't see Your Highness's ears and tail! I was careless for not noticing! But Your Highness, what about the City God— "

Seeing that Provincial Graduate Guo was bringing up the old topic again, Judge Li helplessly gave him a wink.

Immediately, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, with bitter faces, grabbed Provincial Graduate Guo's arm and dragged him outside.

"You two beasts who aid and abet evil! Bah!" Provincial Graduate Guo, being forcibly dragged away, cursed Ox-Head and Horse-Face while reminding Yin Yunze, "That City God is a lustful fiend; Lady Qingnü, you must not go in—"

Faced with this farce, Yin Yunze didn't know how to react and could only look helplessly at Judge Li.

Judge Li, receiving Yin Yunze's gaze, shook his head helplessly and said, "This Provincial Graduate Guo's situation is somewhat special. He is upright and righteous, and he also possesses the title of Jieyuan (a successful candidate in the provincial examinations), plus he is filled with resentment—"

Forcibly dispelling him would diminish one's good karma—and, for some reason, we just can't keep him inside! Also, many times, we don't know how, he always manages to escape unnoticed—so, we don't really have any good solutions for him."

"No, Uncle Li, you call that thing 'overwhelming resentment'?"

If Judge Li hadn't seemed like someone who liked to joke, Yin Yunze would have really thought Judge Li was teasing her.

That comedic character of his, how could he be so full of resentment!

If this is considered overflowing with resentment, then what about the working class in the real world who can't leave work on time every day? Aren't they even more resentful?

Although he secretly complained, Yin Yunze didn't pay much attention to this little incident, after all, the real challenge was yet to come.

Yin Yunze didn't care at all about Provincial Graduate Guo's situation.

Thinking this, Yin Yunze followed Judge Li to the front of the City God.

The moment Yin Yunze took in the entire City God, he was completely stunned.

It's not that this City God is particularly grand or magnificent; after all, it's just a County City God, so it's not really that luxurious.

Having seen all sorts of magnificent modern temples, most temples in the world wouldn't surprise Yin Yunze much.

What stunned Yin Yunze was not the City God, but the black tide that resembled a lake atop City God.

The moment Yin Yunze saw the black lake, a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart.

This divine body, which did not need to eat, actually felt a strong urge to vomit.

The feeling was so intense that Yin Yunze couldn't help but cover his mouth and begin to vomit.

While retching, Yin Yunze felt an indescribable fear in his heart.

That black tide was nothing other than the convergence of countless resentful forces from all living beings.

What does it mean to be filled with resentment? This is truly the most intense resentment ever!

If Yin Yunze were thrown in, he would probably be completely corroded by this resentment within a short time, leaving not even ashes.

However, above this City God, there exists a deep purple-gold light shield that isolates the resentment of this lake from the outside.

Even the most intense resentment is utterly powerless before the unshakeable Dynastic Karmic Luck.

Faced with the resentment emanating from this lake, Yin Yunze's slight illusions about the City God, which stemmed from Judge Li's words and actions, shattered instantly.

Noticing Yin Yunze's unusual behavior, Judge Li was about to say something when another person, also dressed in a vermilion official robe, emerged from the City God.

However, unlike Judge Li, whose official robes featured a ferocious beast, this man's robes bore the pattern of a bird.

"Judge Qian, where are you going?"

Ignoring Yin Yunze, Judge Li bowed and greeted Judge Wen.

"Judge Li, you've returned rather late. The City God is asking me to come and check on you. Have you run into any trouble?"

After greeting Judge Li, and seeing Yin Yunze's distressed state, Judge Qian raised an eyebrow and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, this one is Innate Holy Spirit! Judge Li, what did you do to this girl? The City God didn't order you to use force, did he? Tsk, she's not even a month old yet! Judge Li, how could you do this?!"

"Judge Qian, I didn't do anything to this girl!"

Upon hearing Judge Qian's words, Judge Li's face flushed red with anger.

Although Judge Li used to like to show off his strength in front of other minor gods, he had to consider who the target was!

The Innate Holy Spirit without father or mother, and is divine from birth.

If they were older, it wouldn't be so bad; they could just get beaten up and that would be fine.

However, if Yin Yunze were to calculate from the time this divine body was born, its divine age would only be two days old.

If Judge Qian's words come true, then... to put it another way...

That is, Judge Li is bullying a newborn baby who has no parents, is only a few days old, and is born sacred.

Even in Incense Divine Dao, infants are treated with special care.

No matter how old Yin Yunze looks, in the eyes of these gods, she is just a baby god who has only been born a few days ago.

Otherwise, Judge Li wouldn't have changed his attitude towards Yin Yunze after meeting him.

Yin Yunze's disobedience, which could have been minor or major, was simply glossed over.

After all, as an adult, would Judge Li really hold a grudge against a baby?

Once this reputation spreads, it's no longer a matter of whether it's good or bad; it's something that will stay with Judge Li for life.

If anyone mentions Judge Li in the future, no one will know his real name.

But just to mention, that guy who bullied the Innate Holy Spirit who wasn't even a month old—that's a name that will never be forgotten!
