The Threat to Overturn the Table

Why are you so disrespectful to me!

"Speak up!"

"Who gave you the courage!"

"You little brat, talk to me!"

Watching Yin Yunze roll his eyes as he used his Mystic Lightning City God, while simultaneously trying to get the other party to speak.

The remaining fifteen City God around were stunned for a moment before they came to their senses.

After exchanging glances, several City God immediately prepared to intervene and stop Yin Yunze's violence.

After all, they came together, and the long-bearded City God was too embarrassing, which would also make them lose face. As for the strength that Yin Yunze has shown so far, it is not enough to make the other City God back down.

Sensing the unusual movements of these City God, Yin Yunze continued to strike the long-bearded City God. But with a thought, seven Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag fluttered beside Yin Yunze.

As Yin Yunze activated the spell without hesitation, a bolt of Mystic Lightning shot out from the dark clouds and struck Yin Yunze and the long-bearded City God heavily.

This scene left the City God, who were preparing to intervene, completely stunned.

Why would Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens invite lightning to strike herself? Is there something wrong with her?

What the City God didn't expect was that Yin Yunze, carrying the Evil-Slaying Mystic Lightning, continued to beat the long-bearded City God.

The Mystic Lightning from the sky not only failed to cause any real harm to Yin Yunze, but were instead used by Yin Yunze, causing the long-bearded City God's soul to twitch uncontrollably.

However, the continuous stream of Evil-Breaking Mystic Lightning effectively prevented the City God from making any moves.

Helping others is fine, but it's not good to hurt yourself in the process.

Moreover, watching Yin Yunze's increasingly violent actions, these City God realized that they seemed to have misunderstood something very important.

That is to say, this Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens seems to be much more unreasonable than they thought.

Amidst the thunderbolts descending from the sky, a group of City God watched in silence.

A Nine-Tailed Fox -eared girl dressed in a phoenix coronet and wedding gown, resembling a bride-to-be.

Contrary to his appearance, he was bathed in thunder and pounding a City God.

The group of City God: We've been City God for hundreds of years, what haven't we seen? ×

A group of City God: We've never seen anything like this before.

As the protagonist of this incredibly violent and cruel drama, Yin Yunze was secretly terrified as he smashed the City God.

These City God, who have the Authority over Protection, are truly all stubborn and incorrigible!

A real cat can take a beating!

Although it was somewhat embarrassing that Chang Xu was being tossed around like a rag by Yin Yunze, he was, after all, Orthodox God with the Authority over Protection, plus the physical and magical resistance from his Destiny Attire.

Even if the Mystic Lightning a type of magical lightning) enters the body, it cannot have a special effect on ordinary evil spirits.

Even if they were caught off guard, they were initially controlled by Yin Yunze.

However, Yin Yunze's initial attacks did not cause much damage.

However, after Yin Yunze relentlessly smashed the statue for over a minute, continuously pouring the Mystic Lightning mixed with the Authority over Lightning into the body of the long-bearded City God, the City God finally couldn't withstand it any longer.

Not only was his official robe-like aura-enhancing attire damaged, but his originally refined soul, which was no different from that of an ordinary person, also began to gradually become unstable.

However, after enduring such a brutal beating, the long-bearded City God finally adapted to the paralyzing effect of the Mystic Lightning).

Of course, given his current state, the Long-Bearded City God is no longer capable of retaliating, but he still has the last resort of Orthodox God.

"In the name of the County Princess of Qingping— " Having also discovered the long-bearded City God's intentions, Yin Yunze decisively declared, "You City God, without my permission, you are not allowed to leave!"

As soon as Yin Yunze said this, an invisible wave spread out from Yin Yunze.

Not to mention the long-bearded City God who was still being held by the neck by Yin Yunze, the other fifteen City God also noticed immediately.

With Yin Yunze's order, their method of returning to the temple's golden body using the Flowing Light Escape was forbidden.

Upon realizing this, the City God all paled in dismay.

Seeing the City Gods' expressions change, Yin Yunze felt a secret sense of satisfaction.

Previously, Yin Yunze had been suppressed by others using laws and regulations to maintain his status.

Finally, Yin Yunze grew to the point where he could use his status to suppress others.

The authority to act expediently means that Yin Yunze does not have the same binding power over others as a dedicated divine office.

But it also means that Yin Yunze can get involved in everything.

Furthermore, the Qingnü Hall in Clear Creek Village is the place where Yin Yunze made his fortune, which has an even greater effect on Yin Yunze.

Therefore, even these City God had no choice but to temporarily submit to Yin Yunze's orders.

However, Yin Yunze's order finally made it impossible for the other City God to stand idly by.

It was one thing to see the long-bearded City God make a fool of himself, but now Yin Yunze wouldn't let him leave, clearly intending to kill him.

Although the relationship between these sixteen County City God was not so close as to be mutually dependent.

However, they absolutely could not allow Yin Yunze to kill a City God right in front of them.

Their eyes met briefly, and almost instantly, the remaining fifteen City God reached a near-unanimous decision.

"Qingnü, please stop! Spare Old Xie this time!"

Without prior arrangement, all fifteen City God took a step towards Yin Yunze, exuding the majesty befitting City God.

In an instant, the already pitch-black night became even more profound.

Even the thunderclouds in the sky, which were breeding thunder, seemed to have been lifted a few degrees higher.

Among the remaining fifteen City God, the oldest City God, with gray hair and a wrinkled face, spoke loudly as their representative, "Old Xie disrespected you, and if you wanted to beat him up, we wouldn't say anything. But what you're doing now—that's going too far!"

"Too much?"

The voice that answered the old City God came from heaven.

Clad in lightning and dressed in the phoenix coronet and wedding robes of a third-rank county princess, she looked down at the old City God from her high position and said in a deep voice, "I feel that this is not enough! Even now, you are still unwilling to address me as the County Princess of Qingping?"

In Divine Dao, a single word or title often represents the other party's attitude.

Ordinary believers and minor demons, even if they knew Yin Yunze's identity as the County Princess of Qingping, would often address Yin Yunze as the Lady Qingnü or the Goddess Yuanjun.

In the eyes of these believers and demons, Yin Yunze, the Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens, was more approachable than the official title of County Princess of Qingping.

When they encountered officials, whether it was Prefect Liu Zhengyuan, an officer of the Supernatural Pursuit Bureau Zhou Changqing, or the Prefectural City God Anquan Prefecture.

Instead, they would address Yin Yunze as "County Princess".

For those who hold official positions, addressing each other by their official titles is a sign of respect.

Liu Zhengyuan and Zhou Changqing addressed Yin Yunze as "County Lord," indicating that Yin Yunze's rank was above theirs.

The fact that the Anqing Prefecture City God addressed Yin Yunze as "County Princess" was tantamount to acknowledging that Yin Yunze was of equal rank to him.

Therefore, in many cases, this seemingly insignificant form of address actually reveals the speaker's true state of mind.

If from the beginning, these City God had addressed Yin Yunze as Qingnü or Lord Yuanjun.

Without openly breaking ties, the City God addressed each other as Divine Dao, so Yin Yunze couldn't find fault with them.

But now, a conflict has broken out between the two sides.

The fact that they still call Yin Yunze Qingnü by this divine name at this time means that they are still avoiding the important issues and do not believe that Yin Yunze County Princess of Qingping.

Often, this seemingly insignificant title actually represents a noble and legitimate status.

It's easy to say the title "County Princess of Qingping," but once that title is uttered, it means that Yin Yunze has real jurisdiction over them.

This is why the Long-Bearded City God started by finding fault with this point, and why Yin Yunze immediately responded with swift and decisive action.

Since they've already started denying Yin Yunze's status as a county princess, is there any point in continuing the discussion?

Without finalizing this title, we won't force these City God to bow down and accept it.

Therefore, everything that Yin Yunze said from now on will be invalid.

Although Yin Yunze still had the mandarin duck patterned jade pendant from the Prefectural City God as a token, taking out that jade pendant would indeed make things a little simpler.

But back then, these County City God still recognized the Anqing Prefecture City God, so what did they have to do with Yin Yunze, this County Princess of Qingping?

Therefore, even if he were to use her, Yin Yunze would have to subdue these County City God and make them acknowledge her as the County Princess of Qingping first.

Upon hearing Yin Yunze's words, the old City God remained silent, changing the subject to continue discussing Yin Yunze's actions, "Qingnü Qingnu, do you really intend to kill Old Xie? He should know he was wrong now, and out of respect for us, he's letting him go—"

"Respect is given by others, but shame is lost by oneself!"

Looking at the old City God, Yin Yunze sneered and cursed, "Old bastard! What right do you bunch of fourth-rank scum have to ask me, the County Magistrate, for your sake? Do you have any face in front of me?! Insubordination is an even greater crime!"

Without giving the old City God a chance to argue, Yin Yunze hurled a curse and then waved his hand.

Immediately, the four Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag shot directly into the sky.

In an instant, the dense dark clouds in the sky became even deeper in darkness.

The Power of Lightning within it was becoming increasingly surging and profound.

The faint fluctuations of power emanating from it made even the City God tremble with fear.

Furthermore, as time goes by, the power contained within these thunderclouds continues to increase.

"Qingnü! I'm hundreds of years older than you! How dare you show such disrespect—"

After being insulted by Yin Yunze, the old City God, who relied on his seniority, immediately couldn't take it anymore.

"What do you mean, 'you'! An old man who doesn't die is a thief! An old thief! Oh no, you're already dead! So you're a dead old thief!"

Looking at the old City God, Yin Yunze threatened without hesitation, "You old scoundrel, if you bark at me again, believe me, I'll tear down your City God and make sure the people of your county stop worshipping you! As for your subordinates, if they're not holed up in your Dao Field, I'll kill them all!"

Upon hearing Yin Yunze's threat, all the City God' expressions changed instantly.

After all, Yin Yunze's threat was aimed at eradicating their entire family!

Moreover, what frustrates these City God the most is that Yin Yunze's current strength and influence mean she can actually do it!

Faced with this real threat, all the City God gods began to show expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

As he spoke, Yin Yunze's cold gaze swept over the remaining fourteen City God, and he said in an equally impolite tone, "And you, if any of you want this treatment, come out and say so now!"

I can still handle two or three at a time! Although I certainly can't handle all of you at the same time!

But let's take it slow, one step at a time! We have plenty of time! Let's see who can outlast whom!

Upon hearing Yin Yunze's words, the fifteen City God in front of her, including the old City God who had been insulted by Yin Yunze, fell into an eerie silence.

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but even if it were the Prefectural City God, these County City God would only think that he couldn't possibly do something as irrational as fighting against sixteen City God at the same time.

Even if it were any other deity who had risen to the rank of Prefecture God, they would not have done such an irrational thing.

The problem is, the Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens standing before these City God is still just a little kid who's not even a year old!

It's irrational to discuss this with a bratty kid.

What are the gains and losses involved?

If they really cared about these things, they should have already sat down for tea, instead of being threatened to their faces!

When they realized that Yin Yunze might threaten their interests, these City God naturally chose to join forces to secure their own interests.

After all, in the eyes of these City God, Yin Yunze now has a large and powerful family and is even planning to seize the entire Anqing Prefecture.

As for the local bullies like the County City God, Yin Yunze, even if he didn't spend money to appease them, should at least not go too far with them.

That's what gave them the confidence to cause trouble in Clear Creek Village at night.

After all, as the saying goes, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose.

However, these City God now realize that they originally thought they were the ones with nothing to lose.

But when they actually ran into each other, they discovered that Yin Yunze was the one who wasn't wearing shoes!

In situations like this, whoever has less to lose will undoubtedly have to back down first.

He realized that if he pushed Yin Yunze too far, she might flip the table and fight him to the death.

These City God then felt that, in order to prevent Yin Yunze from overturning the table, giving up some benefits was actually something they could consider.

After all, if you're going to suffer a loss anyway, giving up some benefits is better than having your hometown completely destroyed.

These are all dead people who are hundreds of years old. Most of these City God have very flexible bottom lines.

At least, it was less than angering the brat to the point that she flipped the table.

Why don't we sit down with this Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens first and see if we can accept the conditions she offers?

What if Yin Yunze's conditions aren't strict enough? Wouldn't they become a laughing stock?

Coincidentally, most of the City God came to similar conclusions after weighing the options.

There's absolutely no need to fight this brat! How will you make money if you fight like that?

This time, these City God didn't make eye contact.

Unanimously, all eleven City God took a step back.

He shielded the other four City God, including the old City God, who were still hesitating, in front of him.
