Demons Answer, Gods Heed
After careful consideration, Yin Yunze decided to play it safe.
Looking at the little fox girl, Yin Yunze said softly, "Xuan'er, for now, you and Rui'er will retreat back to Qingling County. If those subjugated little demons are willing to come back with you, then bring them back. If they are not willing, there's no need to force them—"
After we return to Qingling County, I need you and Rui'er to wipe out all the blood-eating demons in Qingling County within three days!
Then, inquire of those whose sins are not grave, whether they are willing to submit to me. Those who have not committed evil but still refuse to submit, drive them out! The rest, kill without mercy!
As he spoke, Yin Yunze took out the upgraded Demon-Summoning Banner and handed it to the little fox girl.
"This Demon-Summoning Banner is temporarily yours to use. If you encounter any that resist coming out, wave it out and then deal with them as appropriate! Three days from now, I hope there will be no more unruly demons in Qingling County."
The purpose of doing this is not only to further gather the forces that can be gathered, but also to prevent any lesser demons who are not loyal to Yin Yunze from discovering Yin Yunze's actions and informing the City God in advance.
Although the City God will find out sooner or later, delaying it will only allow Yin Yunze to accumulate advantages.
Furthermore, these lesser demons will also be a driving force behind the root-and-root plan.
"Xuan'er obeys!" Hearing Yin Yunze speak so solemnly, the little fox girl immediately knelt down on both knees, accepted the Demon-Summoning Banner with both hands, and said firmly, "Your Majesty, I will definitely complete what Your Majesty has entrusted to me within three days!"
"Hmm." Nodding, Yin Yunze continued, "Alright, after you finish this task, go find Guo Jing! From now on, you and Rui'er, along with all the demons, will need to obey Guo Jing's orders and assist her in spreading the City God's evil deeds!"
Numerous cases throughout the history of the modern world have already proven this.
In spreading certain information, in addition to human intervention, superstition and mysticism are also indispensable.
For the people of this world, ghosts and gods are real.
If it were just people saying it, other people might be skeptical because of the City God's past prestige.
But what if humans, gods, ghosts, and demons all said the same thing?
Public opinion can melt metal, and accumulated slander can destroy bones.
Even if the City God were completely innocent, he probably couldn't escape this manipulation, let alone the fact that the City God was corrupt to begin with.
After the light returned to Guo Jing, Yin Yunze emphasized again, "Guo Jing, you must also find people to spread the story within these three days! Money and food are not a problem. I just want to see that after three days you have found enough people to help spread the City God's evil deeds—"
Once your forces are ready, Xuan'er will bring her minions to join you in this endeavor! At that time, I grant you the power to summon demons and command gods! Within Qingling County, all gods and demons will obey your commands!
Thank you, Your Majesty!
Facing Yin Yunze, Guo Jing knelt down with a thud and kowtowed three times. "Jing will not fail in my mission!"
Guo Jing couldn't say he knew everything about the conflict between Yin Yunze and the City God, but he was completely unaware of it.
In Guo Jing's view, this was purely because Yin Yunze used all his power to help her get revenge.
Money and grain are unlimited!
Demons respond to the gods!
Although limited to Qingling County, the so-called gods were merely unofficial, wild gods.
However, such a gesture has already exceeded Guo Jing's expectations.
All of this was for Guo Jing, to avenge the murder of his wife!
"A scholar will die for one who understands him! With such a lord, I would die a hundred times without regret!"
Seeing that Guo Jing's faith had broken through to the level of fanaticism, Yin Yunze realized that she had subsequently gained complete control over the Pure Fox Robe.
Previously, Yin Yunze had to obtain Guo Jing's permission to use the Pure Fox Robe, otherwise he would have had to resort to his backup plan.
At this moment, erasing Guo Jing's consciousness and making her a pure spirit of the Pure Fox Robe would be a matter of a single thought.
Of course, Yin Yunze would not do that.
After thinking for a moment, Yin Yunze took out Judge Li's broken sword and selected some high-quality forging materials from the small treasury of the hundreds of Land God.
After forging and fusing them with the Bright Incense Flame Bright Incense Flame, Yin Yunze cut open his wrist and poured the blood of the Innate Holy Spirit upon it.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
The little fox spirit and Guo Jing were also taken aback by Yin Yunze's behavior.
Yin Yunze didn't say anything, but silently forged the materials, completely fusing them into a rough blank.
He took out another jade pendant and sealed the Bright Incense Artifact Forging Method into it.
Yin Yunze presented the jade pendant and the rough casting to Guo Jing: "Guo Jing, I don't know what kind of weapon you're good at----"
However, with your cultivation level, you can forge one yourself. I've prepared a Bright Incense Artifact Refining Method and some materials for you. If you're willing, forge a suitable weapon yourself!
"I----"
Guo Jing felt unworthy of such a generous gift.
Knowing that she was about to face the City God, Guo Jing gritted her teeth and accepted the two items: "Jing'er, thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
Because they were all adults, Yin Yunze did not treat Guo Jing and Sun Qin with the same slightly wicked and condescending attitude he had towards the little fox spirit Zhao Rui. Instead, he addressed them as equals.
Guo Jing naturally noticed this as well.
However, Guo Jing believed that Yin Yunze was treating her with such courtesy because of the previous life-saving grace.
But Yin Yunze gave Guo Jing was far too much, far exceeding the life-saving grace that hadn't quite been successful back then.
Therefore, faced with this situation, Guo Jing chose to demote herself by one generation.
Since their peers couldn't accept such favors, the younger generation had no such reservations.
Anyway, lowering oneself in front of a deity is nothing; many people would love to have that opportunity!
Only by arguing that it was an elder's gift that could not be refused could Guo Jing convince himself to accept it with a clear conscience.
Yin Yunze, however, did not notice the subtle difference.
After all, compared to becoming a fanatic, lowering oneself by a generation was nothing in Yin Yunze's eyes.
After instructing Guo Jing, Yin Yunze said to the little fox girl, "Xuan'er, come closer."
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
The little fox girl didn't hesitate to lean forward when Yin Yunze summoned her.
Holding the little fox girl's chin, looking into her pale eyes, Yin Yunze said softly, "It might hurt a little, Xuan'er, bear with it."
While the little fox girl was still somewhat confused, Yin Yunze reached out and removed her already pale eyeballs.
Immediately, he produced a green eyeball and placed it into the blood-spurting eye socket.
While using the Heal Wounds and Cure Illness -curing Technique to heal wounds, Yin Yunze also revealed the Mutton-Fat Jade Purification Vase.
At this moment, the power of healing has been condensed within the Mutton-Fat Jade Purification Vase by the Sentient Beings' Power of Faith.
Yin Yunze then dripped the nectar, transformed from the power of healing, into the little fox girl's eyes.
Although Yin Yunze had already inquired about the Casting Stones to Ask the Way beforehand and received a very auspicious result.
However, I still have some concerns about its actual implementation.
Unexpectedly, the effect of this drop of nectar far exceeded Yin Yunze's expectations.
Almost the instant it was dripped in, Yin Yunze felt a healing power far exceeding that of hundreds of Heal Wounds and Cure Illness.
Moreover, unlike Heal Wounds and Cure Illness, this nectar also contains some mysteries that even its master, Yin Yunze, cannot fathom.
Not only did it instantly merge the new eyeball with the little fox girl, but it also thoroughly groomed the little fox girl's body.
Even old, hidden wounds that were previously impossible Heal Wounds and Cure Illness heal were instantly and completely eradicated.
At this very moment, the vibrant life force emanating from the little fox girl's body was comparable to that of a newborn infant.
Perhaps it can't bring the dead back to life or heal flesh from bones, but if it can regenerate severed limbs, this nectar might be worth a try.
Yin Yunze realized at this moment that even if she didn't insert it into the little fox girl's eyes, the little fox girl's eyes should still be able to be repaired by this drop of nectar.
However, the eyes of the Innate Holy Spirit should be better than those of the original Little Fox Girl!
Sensing the change in the little fox girl's aura, Yin Yunze couldn't help but lick his lips.
Suddenly, Yin Yunze felt that she also wanted to taste the sweet dew.
Perfect timing! Yin Yunze just spent a lot of time and energy forging materials, and his eyes have only just healed. Perhaps he should get a few drops to replenish them?
Fortunately, Yin Yunze retained some rationality and did not actually carry out this somewhat wasteful act.
Although the power of healing has solidified, the yield of this nectar is truly low.
One drop a day isn't a fast or slow amount, but it's certainly not something you can waste or drink like water.
"Your Majesty! My eyes are healed!"
It sounds complicated, but in reality, Yin Yunze completed the entire process in the blink of an eye.
The little fox girl was healed by the sweet dew almost as soon as she felt the pain.
Therefore, compared to the pain, the little fox girl only noticed the restoration of her sight.
Although the little fox girl never regretted losing her eye to save Yin Yunze.
But honestly, who would think that going blind is a good thing?
But amidst her joy, the little fox girl sensed something amiss. "Your Majesty, this eye... it seems—"
As she spoke, the little fox girl looked at Yin Yunze with some confusion.
"Your Majesty, I think I can see some things—but only with this new eye—"
At this moment, in Yin Yunze's eyes, the little fox girl was a loli with heterochromatic eyes and fox ears, wearing red and green.
Yin Yunze was also full of questions about what other things the little fox girl could see.
Could it be that this Innate Holy Spirit is also that kind?
It's nothing special when used by oneself, but once given to others, everything becomes heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Is it just bad luck?
Not knowing exactly what changes had occurred to the little fox spirit, Yin Yunze could only feign profundity and say, "The eye I gave you is one of my own, and naturally it has some wondrous uses! However, these uses vary from person to person, and you must figure them out for yourself!"
