"As you command, Venerable God!"
Li Youming knelt down piously, respectfully accepting the order.
A hint of killing intent flickered in his eyes.
The Venerable God's divine grace—
Had allowed him to leap directly from the upper level of the Second Order to the middle level of the Third Order!
Now was the perfect time to act on behalf of the Venerable God, slaying demons and eliminating evil in the mortal realm!
Even if the divine decree hadn't come down,
with this newfound strength, he would still have left Four Seas Village to slay demons and bring back more people, making the Venerable God's incense even more prosperous.
He immediately summoned Village Chief Li Deyang, Deputy Village Chief Chen Mazi, Liao Jinxian, Hunting Team Captain Li Xiuwu, Li Xiuling, and others.
He could complete the task of slaying demons and eliminating evil alone.
But bringing back more people required quite a few hands to go along.
"Temple Keeper!"
Soon—
Li Deyang, Li Xiuwu, Li Xiuling, and the others arrived, cupping their fists in salute.
Li Youming was about to speak.
But just then—
Two faint blue divine lights pierced through the wall and vanished into the bodies of Li Xiuwu and Li Xiuling.
Instantly—
The power of Qi and blood surged within them, their dantian Qi seas were opened, and the rolling power of Qi and blood transformed into a strand of true Qi.
In the blink of an eye, true Qi filled their dantian Qi seas.
Their dantian Qi seas expanded, suddenly growing larger.
In a short time, the two had crossed from the peak of the First Order Body Refinement Realm to the middle level of the Second Order, becoming 'True Qi Realm' martial masters!
Seeing the changes in the two,
Li Youming and Li Deyang were overjoyed.
The village had gained two more Second Order middle-level martial masters!
Chen Mazi, Liao Jinxian, Zhang Ronggui, Chen Ergou, Zhang Qian, and Deng Jiu'e all looked on with envy.
They understood—
This was the Venerable God bestowing divine grace!
"Thank you, Venerable God, for your grace!"
Li Xiuwu and Li Xiuling knelt down, prostrating themselves before the land God Temple with piety and fervor.
The others also knelt down, grateful to the Venerable God for adding two more Second Order martial masters to the village.
A moment later,
everyone stood up.
Li Youming looked at the nine people before him, a touch of emotion on his face.
Nine high-level figures from Four Seas Village, including three Second Order middle-level, and the remaining six were all First Order peak.
How could he have imagined four months ago that his village would possess such formidable martial strength?
And all of this was thanks to the Venerable God's grace!
Their Four Seas Village would forever believe in the Venerable God!
"The Venerable God's divine decree."
His expression turned solemn as he spoke.
Everyone's expression also became solemn, all looking at Li Youming.
"The great demon behind the land of demons has already been slain by the Venerable God."
Li Youming said.
Everyone was surprised, and the next moment, joy appeared on their faces.
The scene of Li Yue killing the Spider Demon and the Tiger Demon had not been witnessed by anyone.
After all—
The 'jurisdiction' was now very large, and the Spider Demon and the Tiger Demon had been killed as soon as they entered the 'jurisdiction', still some distance from Four Seas Village.
"The Venerable God commands us to bring the human people from the land of demons back to Four Seas Village."
Li Youming scanned everyone:
"However, there are still some small demons in the land of demons, and they must all be exterminated."
Everyone's eyes were fiery, their hearts surging.
In the past—
When had they ever heard such domineering words!
The land of demons in the Azure Wood Town area was a place of fear for countless humans.
But now—
The Temple Keeper said that the demons in the land of demons should all be exterminated!
Countless humans had been reduced to demon blood food.
But their Four Seas Village had stood up and was no longer demon blood food!
Their Four Seas Village could now slay demons!
Li Deyang cupped his fists and asked doubtfully:
"Temple Keeper, are you going to use the 'Spirit Summoning Technique' to invite the Venerable God's divine might to slay those small demons?"
"Among the remaining demons in the land of demons, there should still be a few Second Order upper-level demons."
A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Li Youming's mouth, but his voice was cold:
"Why use the 'Spirit Summoning Technique'?"
"Mere small demons, Li Youming will slay them all alone!"
As soon as these words came out,
Li Deyang's eyes lit up, his face excited and thrilled.
It seemed that the Temple Keeper's strength had made amazing progress!
Otherwise—
How could he not even take Second Order upper-level demons seriously!
Perhaps—
The Temple Keeper had once again received the Venerable God's blessing!
"Please arrange it, Temple Keeper!"
He bowed deeply, his voice solemn.
Although the others were a beat slower in reacting, they quickly understood and immediately bowed excitedly:
"Please arrange it, Temple Keeper!"
… …
Wei Wei returned to Azure Wood Town and saw the clan leader again.
"Clan Leader! Four Seas Village really has a deity!"
"Not a deity disguised as a demon, but a true deity who slays demons and eliminates evil!"
Wei Wei looked at the clan leader sitting in the main seat, very seriously.
That day, he returned to Four Seas Village, and before he could take his younger brother away, he encountered three demon leaders from the land of demons who had attacked Four Seas Village.
Then—
He saw the Bear Leader and the Black Dog Leader among the three great demons die silently.
Then he saw the White Horse Leader among the three great demons kneeling in front of the land God Temple for ten days and nights, repeatedly calling the Venerable God the Venerated God.
At that time—
He believed it.
The Venerable God was a true deity, not a demon in disguise!
"Wei Wei, why are you so obsessed?"
"How can there be any deities in this world? They are all demons in disguise."
"Before long, the so-called deity of Four Seas Village will also eat people."
The Wei Clan Leader didn't believe it at all, trying to persuade him earnestly.
Wasn't the River Lord of Smoothridge River calling himself the River God?
But which year did he not eat people?
Which year did he not eat the warriors of their Wei family?
"Clan Leader! Why don't you believe me!"
"The Venerable God is a true deity who doesn't eat people!"
Wei Wei stomped his feet anxiously.
After a pause, his expression became serious, and he looked at the clan leader and said solemnly:
"Clan Leader, the Mountain Lord of the land of demons is dead, do you know that?"
The Wei Clan Leader stood up abruptly upon hearing this, shocked:
"What did you say?!"
"The Mountain Lord is dead?"
"That's impossible!"
"In our Azure Wood Town area, who can kill that Mountain Lord?!"
A storm raged in his heart.
The Mountain Lord of the land of demons!
That was a great demon who had been at odds with the River Lord of Smoothridge River for decades, at the same level!
In the entire Azure Wood Town area, he was one of the most terrifying great demons!
How could he suddenly die?
"The Mountain Lord of the land of demons died at the hands of the Venerable God yesterday!"
Wei Wei bowed deeply in the direction of Four Seas Village, his face full of piety:
"This is the news that the Temple Keeper specifically asked me to tell the Clan Leader."
"The Temple Keeper—"
"Is already by the Smoothridge River, preparing to lure out the great demon in the Smoothridge River, and then slay him!"
"The Temple Keeper acts on behalf of the Venerable God in the mortal world, slaying demons and eliminating evil!"
"Clan Leader! Our Wei family should immediately prepare to arrest all the demon lackeys in Azure Wood Town and hand them over to the Temple Keeper for disposal!"
The Wei Clan Leader was stunned when he heard these words.
He stared blankly at Wei Wei, his scalp tingling.
The Temple Keeper of Four Seas Village wants to slay the River Lord of Smoothridge River?!
How dare a mere Temple Keeper attack the River Lord of Smoothridge River!
He didn't believe at all that the other party could kill the River Lord of Smoothridge River.
His heart was full of fear and unease.
If the River Lord of Smoothridge River was angered by the other party, how many people would die in Azure Wood Town!
He immediately rushed out anxiously.
He wanted to stop the other party!
He absolutely could not anger the River Lord of Smoothridge River!
But just then—
A cold shout came from the direction of the Smoothridge River, rolling like thunder:
"By the divine decree of the land God, the Venerable God!"
"Li Youming, the Temple Keeper of Four Seas Village, has come to slay demons!"
"Demons of the Smoothridge River, come out and die!"
The Wei Clan Leader's face was pale, and he sat down on the ground with a thud.
It's over.
The River Lord of Smoothridge River is about to be angered!
