Chapter 17: Responding Internally and Externally in Harmony, Breaking the Divine Society

  Thank you for the reward from the Golden House Book Friends... Upon hearing this, Wang Xiong was overjoyed and hastily put on his clothes. His wife was a bit afraid and grabbed onto Wang Xiong's arm. The woman, with a small voice, said: "This time, it's the Earth God who is harming me and my family..."

  Wang Xiong scolded, "These are truly the words of a woman! Without the protection of the land god, where did this new clothing and the medicine for a safe pregnancy come from? One cannot be a person without a conscience!"

  Wang Da nodded repeatedly, saying: "That's right! Moreover, the land is so good to our family, isn't it because our family is most loyal? Even if a dog eats its master's food, it will still wag its tail!"

  The woman was scolded by her father-in-law and husband, so she didn't dare to say more. The two of them got together to discuss the matter, and Wang said, "We'll demolish the altar tonight. With fewer people, it won't work!"

  "Zhang Wang's family was also saved by the land, with five or six able-bodied men. And there is still the village head... The Wang family has a small household, just this father and son, no other relatives, so their power is small."

  Wang Da listened and agreed: "That's right. But we don't need too many people! Otherwise, those with small hearts will discuss it more and leak the news!"

  "Alright, then notify the Zhang family. No one else needs to be notified!" The father and son had made up their minds.

  Feeling his way in the dark, he went straight to Zhang's house. Zhang Wangshi had also been saved by Liu Yi. Naturally, her faith was different from that of other families. As the elderly matriarch of the family, she shouted: "The land god has saved my life, you watch and handle it. If not, I'll just die by hitting my head."

  Zhang Wang said this, and the several ancestors in the family heard it, remained silent, and then discussed and decided. Without further delay, they picked up hoes, shovels and other tools, and headed to the altar.

  The so-called She Tan still retains its ancient style, using a round altar made of rammed yellow earth. Under the moonlight, it is unobstructed and open.

  A few people walked over, and suddenly a whirlwind was born, blowing so hard that people couldn't even open their eyes.

  "This is a divine aura!" Several people's faces changed color and they all became flustered at once.

  "Make way!" someone shouted.

  A ladle of foul-smelling liquid was poured into the whirlwind.

  A shrill cry echoed through the whirlwind, and then a figure fled swiftly, the sound fading into the distance. Suddenly, Zhang Wangshi appeared, holding a bucket of dark red blood, shouting loudly: "What are you waiting for? Take action!"

  As he spoke, he took a step forward and came to the edge of the altar, where another ladle of dark red liquid was splashed on, filling the air with a bloody smell.

  "Is it black dog blood or cockscomb..." Someone reacted. Although I don't know what it is, it must be a filthy thing...

  It wasn't until they had a drink that Wang Da and the others finally came to their senses, feeling somewhat ashamed. This was indeed the case - several big men couldn't even compare to this old woman, Zhang Wangshi.

  Each of them took a hoe and went forward without hesitation, starting to work on that plot of land.

  The village god knew that things couldn't be done, so he transformed into a gust of yin wind and was just about to escape the village. Anyway, for now, there were still two temples in the village where he was worshipped.

  However, just as they were about to rush out of the village with a gust of wind, someone shouted: "Here!"

  In the darkness, several dozen resentful ghosts suddenly gathered around.

  But almost at the same time, the shrine was destroyed. The god of the shrine felt a heart-wrenching pain and panic in his heart, wanting to flee immediately.

  But these resentful spirits don't know what's wrong with them today, and they actually surrounded the shrine god in a swarm.

  "Get out of the way!" The evil spirit's face twisted in a fierce expression. These resentful spirits were hard to deal with, but if he really went all out, a whirlwind blow from his side could annihilate one of them, destroying their soul completely.

  "It seems like the village god is injured!" a sharp-eyed vengeful spirit suddenly cried out.

  These things, originally bullying the weak and fearing the strong, were full of resentment. They didn't dare to take it out on Liu Yi, but when they saw Sheng Shen getting hurt, their eyes suddenly shone with a greedy light, as if they couldn't wait to tear Sheng Shen apart and swallow him whole.

  The village god secretly called out in distress, he was an old-fashioned divine spirit, naturally having means to control the wind. He transformed into a whirlwind and rushed over, colliding with a vengeful ghost.

  Just as the vengeful spirit was about to be hit and its soul scattered, a golden light suddenly surged out of its body. Although it was struck and split apart, it did not dissipate.

  The resentful spirits were even more spirited and rushed forward, surrounding the Shè Shén.

  Liu Yi stood by with a cold eye, and the golden light on the resentful ghost's body was naturally his doing.

  These vengeful spirits all had the Ghost Emperor's Heart Seal imprinted on them by Liu Yi, and were completely under his control. Although they were just cannon fodder, it was only natural that he couldn't afford to waste them too quickly!

  Several dozen vengeful spirits and the Shaji god engaged in a fierce battle. Liu Yi watched from the side for a while, feeling increasingly at ease.

  The power of this shrine's incense is thousands of times stronger than mine, but unfortunately, he doesn't know how to use it. It's so difficult to deal with even a resentful ghost like this.

  Looking at this village god, there really was no hidden trick up his sleeve, so he stood out and shouted: "All of you get out of the way!"

  At this time, the vengeful spirits were left with only more than 20, and the village god was not doing well either, looking very embarrassed, even the whirlwind that drove him couldn't move. He glared at Liu Yi fiercely: "It's you who are making trouble behind my back!"

  "You want to play it that way? Fine, let's settle this once and for all. You asked for this by bringing in the tax officials to deal with me... Spare me the nonsense, go die!"

  As he spoke, he raised the Ghost Emperor's Heart Seal in his hand and released a white light that enveloped the She God.

  That demon let out a miserable shriek, its entire body emitting waves of black smoke, as if it had been doused in sulfuric acid, and rolled around on the ground.

  The ghosts around them all showed a look of terror, as if they had experienced it themselves, recalling the scene where Liu Yi had just dealt with them.

  The village god let out a miserable cry like a pig being slaughtered: "Spare my life, please, land god, spare my life. I won't dare again, I won't dare again... Spare my life!"

  Liu Yi was exhausted, not because he wanted to give up, but because his divine power had been depleted and he could no longer hold on. He had no choice but to withdraw, shouting: "From now on, you must obey me!"

  The village god, with a nose full of snot and eyes full of tears, knelt on the ground, knocking his head like garlic: "I dare not again, from now on, whatever you say is what it is. I'll give up the altars in all three villages!"

  Liu Yi reluctantly gave up, not because he was soft-hearted and didn't want to directly deal with this guy. It's just that this village god is indeed a veteran deity, having been worshiped by three villages for decades.

  His divine power was almost exhausted, but the power on the body of the village god seemed to be endless, and no matter what, Liu Yi couldn't purify it. To avoid embarrassment, Liu Yi could only reluctantly give up.

  "Release the shield." Liu Yi shouted.

  Although I don't know what Liu Yi wants to do, the meat is on the chopping board and can't be disobeyed by the gods.

  The layers of fog around him dispersed, revealing the withered old man he had seen last time. Liu Yi sneered and withdrew his protection, killing him would be as easy as killing a chicken.
