Chapter 961: Purification of the Temple

“The Nine Heavens Divine Road… is not an easy one.”

Tarona looked at the place where Ross was crushed to death and sighed with some concern.

The guy next to him really doesn’t care. The worst that can happen to him is he can just walk away.

“Why? Do you know much about the Nine Heavens Divine Road? Tell me about it. You know, I am a new god who has just been promoted.”

Tao Yu said in a calm tone.

Tarona didn’t care whether Tao Yu was really the new god or not. Since he asked, she had to give a detailed response.

“Nine Heavens Divine Road is a newly emerged organization within a thousand years. It is not as old as our Glorious Empire, but the leader of Nine Heavens Divine Road has a lot of ideas.

“After finding that they could no longer occupy a safe base within the Abyss Great Wall, and not wanting to expand beyond the Great Wall, they chose to find another way. Together with a group of like-minded people, they formed this organization, which specializes in collecting scraps that the True Gods were too lazy to spend their energy on before…

“Later, I discovered that the added value of these bits and pieces was quite high. The Nine Heavens Divine Road did not have any fixed goals. They would try anything that could bring them willpower, benefits, and accumulation…”

At this point, Tarona paused.

“Besides, they have had some conflicts with the Empire before, but at that time the Emperor intervened and scared them away.”

Listening to Tarona’s words, Tao Yu also grasped the key point

“In other words, the Emperor’s strength, at least in a one-on-one fight, exceeds that of several of their True Gods?”

“At least it will be if nothing goes wrong with the empire.”

Tarona said confidently

“The Emperor has a record of killing a true god.”

Tao Yu had killed Ming Shen before, so he naturally knew that a true God was difficult to kill. The fact that he had the ability to kill a true God alone, even if the one killed was the most ordinary true God, was enough to prove how powerful the Emperor was.

The Jiutian Divine Road belongs to the hyenas. Anyway, they will try the left side and the right side. They will also cooperate with families like the Bai family in the hinterland to share the fruits of their labor. As long as there are benefits, it will be fine.

The Glory Empire is located at a seaport and has only one true god. It is normal for them to come and do a simple test.

However, after discovering the emperor’s extraordinary strength, they naturally did not dare to provoke him again.

After all these years of silence, he discovered that there was trouble in the empire. While observing secretly, he might make some arrangements and more attempts.

For Jiu Tian Shen Lu, this just feels like a matter of course…

“Be able to advance and retreat, focus on profit, and stop losses in time when problems arise. In fact, the Nine Heavens Divine Road is quite strong.”

Tao Yu once again gave a positive evaluation of this organization.

Well, I don’t know why, but this organization just feels a bit weird.

“How strong is their strongest one? What about the other True Gods?”

“I’ve heard the Emperor’s comments. The leader of the Nine Heavens Divine Road has changed his name to ‘Nine Heavens’. He is very ambitious and is taking a mixed route. Although he was not as strong as the Emperor at the beginning, if he can really make a name for himself, he has great potential. The other three True Gods are all inferior to him in strength.

“Apart from ‘Jiutian’, the one who needs the most attention is ‘Ming Shen’, who has the strongest mobility. Although he is not good at frontal combat, and the space suppressed by the size of most gods cannot allow him to carry out direct and efficient killing, his ability to transfer and surprise attack is extremely strong. He has killed false gods and severely damaged true gods…”

Tao Yu was speechless after hearing Tarona’s lengthy explanation of ‘Ming Shen’.

But he admitted that this guy was hard to kill…

……

The Glory Empire had some conflicts with the Nine Heavens Divine Road in the past, and the information it holds is even more than what Blue Bird knows!

“We can pay attention to [Weak Water].”

Among the five false gods of the Nine Heavens Divine Road, in addition to the special path of [Luck] that Qingniao originally took, there is also a relatively low-key god of [Weak Water] who appeared in Tao Yu’s sight.

The code name of [Ruoshui] does not mean that he is weak, but a reflection of his main means.

This guy was originally born near the Endless Sea. When he was choosing his path, he had a sudden idea to use the “water” of the Endless Sea as a carrier, and he actually succeeded.

His unconventional approach has brought him considerable strength, and his power of [Weak Water] can reduce the enemy’s various tactics.

After a long period of struggle, he can even restrain the true God. It is rumored that the true God who was severely damaged by “Ming Shen” was accomplished with his cooperation.

But after all, the shortcut of taking an unconventional approach is not so easy to take. In the end, [Weak Water] was stuck before the True God and could not move forward, and the way forward was blocked.

To some extent, He can be regarded as an ordinary true God who cannot be improved any further.

However, Tao Yu didn’t care about this guy’s original intentions. He only knew that this guy had the power related to [water].

Then this conflict will be further intensified.

Now there is no news of the death of Lu Mingshen, the Nine Heavens God, and they have not done anything. As always, they have shown that they are patient when they need to be patient.

As far as the outside world is concerned, even if Ming Shen hasn’t shown up for a long time, it doesn’t really matter. After all, he is a space-side god and is usually elusive.

However, the news that the Jiutian Divine Road in Baixingzhou suffered a setback because of the new god Tao Yu had already spread.

At least Tarona knows this…

“Let’s go to Binhai City first. This guy has been a local tyrant in Binhai City for so long, so he might have some other collections.”

Tao Yu said happily after some thoughts flashed through his mind.

A veteran and powerful Divine Path master who is stationed at the seaport, even if he has considerable expenses for his own practice on weekdays, may constantly invest his willpower to comprehend the Divine Path.

But no matter what, the things he left behind may be worth more than Tao Yu’s net worth other than the artifact!
Even though he came alone this time, after Tao Yu killed him, he found several top-grade holy objects with different functions in his storage device, as well as many emergency items that could instantly restore combat power, heal injuries, etc.

However, precisely because there are some “auxiliary props” in here, Tao Yu guessed that this guy should have another place to hide treasures.

Now that they have been killed, they certainly can’t be wasted so I’ll go and take a look.

People must die with some value…

But Tao Yu’s words made Tarona feel helpless.

Killing people and stealing treasures, and then looting people’s hometowns. Even if this place is close to the Endless Sea, it may still attract the intervention of the world’s will.

“Don’t worry, I have experience. He colluded with the evil god to provoke me. I am acting in self-defense now.”

Tao Yu said with confidence.

He had no way of allowing Ross’s pollution to be shown to others, but he could rely on his current authority as a god to let the world’s will know the truth.

We just saved Yongling City and dealt with an evil god’s hidden mine. What would a proper counterattack mean?
Tao Yu is not a bloodthirsty person, so he would not do anything like massacring a city.

“Even if the world will doesn’t care, this may be used…, hey…”

In the end, Tarona said nothing more.

What she was worried about was the situation in the empire and what the other local bosses would think when they saw what happened to Ross.

Not only did they beat people to death, but they also looted their property.

The death of the rabbit makes the fox mourn, which will inevitably arouse their vigilance and resistance!

If we were to be taken advantage of by Jiutian Divine Road and the traitors in the cabinet at this time, it would be easy for other forces to find an excuse to intervene!

After finding a legitimate reason to intervene, the emperor would have nothing to say even if he returned.

And if the Emperor doesn’t come out by then…

At least it would be really fun for the Empire…

But Tarona also knew that it was impossible for her to interfere with the will of a god, even if she had to sell her body.

He seems to be cynical and unreliable, but his true character can be seen when you look at Ross who was crushed to death.

In terms of strength, he was not necessarily much better than Ross. To him, even if he was really gouged, he would just be treated as a toy. It was impossible to change him by using this.

This also directly extinguished some of the attempts that Tarona had originally wanted to make. Now she was worried that the other party would make a big deal out of it and leave.

Such a huge mess, if the emperor didn’t come forward, it would be unbearable…

……

The Endless Sea seems to be in strong winds all year round, and even the sea surface in the offshore area is pitch black!
It’s not that the sea is dark, but that it is too deep.

The water is deep and the abyss is deep. This endless sea is the entrance to the surface of the abyss!
It is impossible to explore the depth of the seabed, it seems endless!
According to rumors, if you go down through the Endless Sea, you may be able to enter various fragments of the abyss…

Even though this is the inland sea within the Great Wall of the Abyss, the world’s will still extends, but this dark sea water is mixed with a faint smell of pollution.

Moreover, anyone who falls into the water will be subject to huge restrictions, and their various abilities will be greatly reduced. The deeper they go, the more this will be the case. Even true gods cannot avoid this!
On the endless sea which is shrouded by strong winds all year round, there are always raging waves near the coast.

Outside Binhai City is a huge dam connected to the mountain cliff, which is hundreds of feet high.

The floating city is also at the same height as the dam, located at the rear, with a bridge connecting it to the top of the dam, where various supplies are transported.

When the waves hit the ocean, the huge impact and splashes create a violent mist that fills the air with a sense of humidity.

When the tide recedes, you can even see the “land” a hundred feet below.

The Endless Sea has infinite depth, but the continental shelf that has been submerged and eroded by the waves is still there.

Those areas used to be part of the continent, but now they have become shallows, washed away by wave after wave of waves.

In the face of this great force of nature, a boundary breaker would be quickly drowned if he fell into the water. Normally, cargo trade relies on flying boats crossing the sea.

Therefore, those who can carry out logistics on the Endless Sea must at least be forces with saints in charge, and the flying boats guarding them must be at least catastrophic level, and the crew must be boundary breakers, otherwise they will not be able to withstand the long-term pollution and erosion.

Even in the absence of Holy Will, even after a catastrophic transport, one must return or find a World Island to recuperate for a while…

Boom~
The huge waves hit the hundred-foot embankment, and the water vapor stirred up could even create flames through friction in the air, as bright as iron flowers.

However, beneath this splendor, there are many busy workers on the dam. Large machines, and even more people than the machines, are constantly moving, adjusting the packing and placement of various materials.

From time to time, a flying boat would float in from the sea, or fly towards the sea from the city, and occasionally there would be supplies coming to the city from the back.

Being able to have a Divine Road Venerable sitting in charge of Binhai City, the prosperity and logistics here are also astonishing.

In terms of scale and size alone, Binhai City cannot be compared with White Star City, and the population is much smaller.

But this purely port city is surprisingly prosperous.

“Hurry up, the boat is about to depart.”

“Why is there still something that hasn’t been fixed?”

“I’ve already told you not to be lazy with your space equipment! We’re already close to the Endless Sea. Will you compensate for the damage?”

“Why are there a few boxes of Soul Pregnancy Stone missing? Who is doing something dishonest?”

“…”

A series of rapid roars rang out among the busy crowd.

The nimble oxen and horses carrying the containers gallop at a speed that is much more efficient than cranes.

Bang~
After stacking the huge container, a “porter” breathed a sigh of relief, then complained to his companion next to him:
“They used to say there were treasures everywhere here, but I was foolish. I didn’t want to be a guest at home, but came here to work as a porter.”

“Then go back.”

The obviously experienced man next to him nonchalantly took out a cigarette.

“It’s such a long journey, I have to get some benefits first.”

“Then go out to sea.”

“No, I don’t have experience. I heard that some black ships looted people and threw them directly into the sea.”

“What else is there to say? Just move honestly.”

“By the way, I heard that something happened in Yongling City next door. Communication was just restored, and the fire of civilization was almost extinguished. I wonder if Venerable Ross will intervene.”

“Don’t ask about important people’s affairs.”

The old man obviously didn’t care much about these.

But at this moment, a bright stream of light suddenly came from the direction of the sea.

With the arrival of the figure, an invisible sense of majesty spread, suppressing the entire city!

“Shenlu Reverend?!”

The old man’s face turned serious as he felt the faint divine power.

Although Binhai City is an outlet to the sea, Venerable Shenlu actually appears there frequently, and he was even fortunate enough to witness a god once.

His strength was actually not enough to judge the difference between saints, venerables and gods; it was just a vague judgment based on experience.

However, something just happened in Yongling City, and it is too sensitive at this time!

“Liao Bin of the Purification Temple, requesting to see City Lord Ross.”

The appearance of the cheerful voice finally made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be the Purification Temple.

This is also a well-known organization with an excellent reputation. It usually takes the initiative to pursue the believers of the evil god. It specializes in dealing with various pollution incidents and has a very high reputation.

After hearing this, many people knew that this might be aimed at the situation in Yongling City.

However, after the Holy Temple Messenger appeared, Ross did not respond. After a while, a saint took off into the air.
“I am truly sorry, City Lord Ross is not in the palace at this moment. Please come in and rest for a while.”

“Oh? Could it be that City Lord Ross has gone to deal with Yongling City?”

Liao Bin has a square face and appears to have a very decent character, so he was not too surprised to hear this.

“Then just in case, I’ll go over there too. That’s where my target was originally, and I came over to let you know in case there’s any misunderstanding.”

After saying that, Liao Bin was ready to set off, but at this moment his expression changed slightly, and he suddenly looked towards the gray fog area on the edge of the city in front of him with caution, as if something inexplicably terrifying was approaching.

It was as if the entire gray fog had turned into a monster with bared fangs and claws, as if it wanted to devour everything!
But the next moment, there was a flash of golden light.

A warm golden figure appeared on the scene, dispelling the gray fog.

Another beautiful and enchanting figure followed closely behind.

The soft golden light seemed to be able to wash away all the fatigue of the soul, and even the fatigue of the body was relieved a lot.

This sense of sacredness even spontaneously made many people in the city worship it.

Some even believed that it was the return of the emperor.

Only Liao Bin always felt that the contrast was a bit too big. Having dealt with believers of evil gods for many years, he almost had a special sensitivity to this aspect.

But the vision before our eyes will not deceive us, this is a true God who walks the kingly way!

He is not quite the same as the emperor in the legend…

Although he was confused, Liao Bin still flew over quickly and bowed to greet

“Liao Bin of the Purification Temple, I am honored to meet His Majesty.”

Tao Yu had heard what the other party said before, and he also knew about the Purification Temple. Now he couldn’t help but look at him deeply.

“You guys are purifying the temple, and your reaction is pretty quick…”

Yongling City had lost contact with the outside world before, so it’s quite lucky that we can get here in such a short time.

“It just so happens that I’m nearby. I guess the problem of Yongling City has been solved by His Majesty.”

Liao Bin behaved very respectfully, then looked at Tarona next to him and was slightly stunned.

“Meet Princess Talona.”

At first he thought it was Ross who followed the other person back, but it turned out to be Talona.

Tarona responded calmly, and did not have any ill feelings towards the Purification Temple.

“Where is Lord Ross?”

Liao Bin was a little surprised.

“He colluded with the followers of the evil god and provoked the riot in Yongling City. He has been executed by me.”

Tao Yu spoke calmly, as if it was a matter of course.

This voice was not concealed and spread throughout the city!

Immediately, everyone in the city was in an uproar.

what?
The mighty Lord of Ross City on the coast just died like that?

So sudden?!
City Lord Ross colluded with the followers of the evil god to endanger Yongling City?
Why?

“died……”

Liao Bin was stunned at first, and then he felt a chill in his heart.

Your Majesty, the True God, is absolutely decisive when he takes action!

“Since the problem has been solved, I will take my leave now.”

Liao Bin bowed slightly, with a respectful expression, and never mentioned Ross’s death again!

Tao Yu looked at the other person deeply and nodded.
“Okay, let’s go.”

Although Liao Bin looked dignified and upright, he came here to save people, and the Purification Temple had a good reputation.

But Tao Yu had also sensed some fluctuations in the other party’s emotions when he spoke casually a few times before.

“Oh, save people, whether you are indulgent or not, it’s hard to say…”

Tao Yu saved Yongling City and received world feedback rewards.

Even Tao Yu could feel a hint of improvement. Although it was nothing compared to his original speed of improvement, it was still a good channel in the eyes of other divine paths or even gods.

It’s just that it depends on fate to encounter such a thing…

Purify the temple…

Tao Yu also didn’t like to assume malicious intent about others, but at least after meeting Liao Bin, his impression of this organization dropped a little.

However, now that the Nine Heavens Divine Road has been provoked, there may be other true gods hiding within the empire.

Although Tao Yu had acted arrogant before, he was not stupid. He would not make enemies for no reason. He just needed to know what was going on…

Then Tao Yu looked at the saint who had come out to greet Liao Bin before.

There was no polluted aura on this guy. It seemed that Ross had concealed the fact that he had borrowed the power of the evil god very well. The saint was also looking at him with horror at this time.

However, with the concentration of holy will, he did not show any ugly behavior.

“I am a very particular person. If something is irrelevant, then it is irrelevant. You have followed Ross for many years. Come, tell me in detail about his preferences. I need to confirm them carefully…”

If you don’t bring all the treasures with you, you won’t let others know if you have scattered some of them, but you can always find them through some clues…
