Chapter 588: Deposing the City God

Qin Chenghuang was not a native of Western Shu.

When he first became the City God in his early years, he was upright and impartial, strictly abided by the rules of the underworld, and never thought of moving his family from Dongsha District to Xishu so that he could take care of them nearby.

In the past few hundred years, my heart has become a little numb, and when I began to miss my hometown and old friends, my homeland is gone, not to mention old friends and relatives.

Without any relatives in the human world and no conflicts of interest with the world of the living, Qin Chenghuang’s life became much more monotonous.

Unlike the City God of Guan in the past, he had friendships with many wealthy families in the jurisdiction and even openly participated in various banquets.

In his spare time, Qin Chenghuang also disguised himself as a mortal and traveled around the city, but most of the time, he stayed in the Chenghuang blessed land.

Today was just an ordinary day for him, just like any other day.

If there was anything extraordinary, it was only that the Sun God from Yingxiang Mansion came to visit him in the morning, ruining his mood for the day.

At this time, the sun was at its highest point in the sky. He was drinking tea and reading in the back court when suddenly a loud shout floated from afar, “Junior Yu Fengxian pays respect to Father City God!”

“Yu Fengxian?” Qin Chenghuang was stunned for a moment, then his face showed a sneer, “It’s Yu Fengxian from Yingxiang Mansion. She is still determined to do evil. Has she found Luodu?”

Immediately, a ghost came in quickly, bowed and said, “Lord City God, there is a woman knocking at the door of the City God’s blessed land, calling herself ‘Yu Fengxian’.”

At this time, two more calls were heard, which were directly transmitted to the City God’s Yamen.

Qin Cheng Huang was silent for a moment before he said, “Bring her to see me.”

“As ordered!”

“City God Qin, you should know why I’m here, right?”

The repeated calls of “Daddy City God” have activated the Great Destroyer Father by Qin City God.

After entering the side hall, Xiao Yu, the “Prime Minister of Western Shu”, did not even bow, but just looked at the City God calmly.

This is an “old city god”!
He looked to be in his forties, but he had a heavy air of old age.

It makes people subconsciously feel that he is very old and has experienced a lot.

This is true.

Qin Guangdu served as the City God of Luodu for 1,300 years.

But strangely, there was no steadiness and sophistication that came with the years in his eyes, but instead there was the frivolity and impetuosity that is common in young boys.

At this moment, seeing that Xiaoyu did not salute and spoke in a cold tone, as if questioning, Qin Chenghuang could not suppress the anger in his eyes at all.

In other words, there was no suppression or hiding at all.

It seems that he is even less cunning than the previous King of Shu.

The King of Shu was also angry, but he swallowed his anger and tried not to show it on his face or in his tone.

Maybe Qin Guang felt there was no need to pretend to be nice to her?
Xiaoyu’s thoughts were turning in his mind, but his hands did not stop moving.

After asking the questions, without waiting for Qin Chenghuang to get angry, she flipped her wrist and slipped a scroll out of her sleeve.

Hold the scroll and give it a gentle shake to open it.

“Qin Chenghuang, I have been appointed by the King of Shu as the ‘Prime Minister’. You can think of me as the Grand Master, the Imperial Master, and the Grand Commandant all in one.”

From the moment he walked out of the palace until now, the edict written by the King of Shu has already had some miraculous power.

It doesn’t emit a strong pressure, so it can’t be used as a magic weapon.

Instead, I used the Qi-Watching Technique to see that there was a little reaction from the dragon energy.

Even if ghosts and gods do not understand the art of qigong, they will still have some sense of it.

Qin Chenghuang immediately confirmed that the “absurd” contents in the edict were all true, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

“Li Jingxuan is crazy, you are a girl under 20 years old, how can you be the national teacher?

Moreover, it is not just the national teacher and the prime minister. There has never been such a person in history. It is unimaginable and absurd!”

Xiao Yu put away the imperial edict and said, “Lord City God, my request is not high. You only need to inform all the people in Western Shu——”

“Hahaha~~” Qin Chenghuang waved his hand violently, interrupting her words with a loud laugh, and said, “Naive! I am a god from the underworld, and the King of Shu, a mere human, wants to issue an imperial decree to me. Does he think he is the emperor of the upper country?”

Xiao Yu looked at him calmly and asked, “My request is to seek personal gain for myself and the King of Shu, to harm the public and enrich myself, and is it excessive and unreasonable?”

Qin Cheng Huang sneered and said, “You are not qualified to make any demands on me.”

Xiao Yu asked doubtfully, “Before coming here, I specifically asked Master Xuan Yin about you.

You have been the City God of Luodu for 1,300 years. You are fair, selfless, diligent and caring for the people.

Why are you so cold today, or did I personally offend you?”

Qin Chenghuang continued to sneer, “Don’t even think about using Xuanyin Zhenren to pressure me.

He is a person of the immortal way, and I am a spirit of the divine way, so I don’t need to listen to him.”

Xiao Yu sighed, “You are wrong, he is helping you to suppress me, not me using him to suppress you.

Before leaving, he specifically reminded me to remember not to be impulsive and that he would explain things to you properly.

In his impression, you are a good city god who cares for the people.

As long as it is truly for the good of the people, you will definitely understand and agree with my plan.

He’s afraid that I’ll hurt you!”

Qin Chenghuang laughed loudly, “Yu Fengxian, do you also think that I am like Guan Chenghuang?”

Xiao Yu looked at him steadily and asked, “You rejected my arrangement, do you have a better plan?”

Qin Chenghuang sneered and said nothing.

Xiao Yu continued, “The threat of the demon dragon is imminent. I have made a suggestion. If you disagree, you can come up with your own plan. As long as what you say makes sense, I am willing to follow your lead and listen to your instructions.

If you only have a stupid and arrogant attitude, an empty stomach, and insensitive behavior, I will look down on you very much.

It is true that Guan Laogui has selfish motives, and he is not vague when faced with a serious situation. You are no better than him. “

Qin Cheng Huang put away the sneer on his face and said calmly: “Everything in the world has its own destiny. I am a god and I only follow the destiny.

If Heaven wants to bring disaster, I will not stop it; if Heaven wants to resolve a problem, I will follow it.

You are nothing.”

Xiao Yu asked, “What is destiny? Monsters are rampaging in Xishu, killing hundreds or thousands of people every day. Is that destiny?”

Qin Cheng Huang waved his hand and said, “Go away. I am not interested in discussing the mysteries of the Tao with you.”

“Am I talking to you about the mysteries of the universe?” Xiao Yu laughed angrily, put the scroll away and stuffed it back into his sleeve. “Arrogant and stupid old dog, I, the Prime Minister, personally came to your door to offer you a toast, but you refused to drink it and rushed to drink the ‘penalty wine’.”

She took off the “Prime Minister’s Seal” tied around her waist and shouted, “Qin Guang, I’ll ask you one last time. I, the Prime Minister, order you to perform your duties as the City God of the Capital. Will you obey my orders?”

Qin Chenghuang glanced at the seal and was a little surprised.

The seal was wrapped in a piece of yellow cloth, but he still recognized it as the “Seal of the King of Shu” at a glance.

——King Li Jingxuan of Shu actually had such great courage and magnanimity that he even gave his seal to Yu Fengxian?
So what? They are just two magic dragons.

At most, they would wreak havoc in East Shu and slaughter some civilians, but they would never dare to destroy West Shu directly, nor would they stay in West Shu for a long time. After all, the great god Bashe was only in seclusion to break through the realm, not really dead.

Although his mind was full of thoughts, the expression on Qin Chenghuang’s face did not change much.

Although he stopped laughing, his majestic face still had a faint sneer. “I am the City God of Luodu, and guarding Luodu is my duty. If you have any doubts, you can send ghosts to drive away the gods and go to the underworld to ask the chief judge for instructions on this matter.

Once the chief judge issues an order, I will definitely obey it.

But if you want to boss me around just based on your own words, you are being too arrogant!”

Xiao Yu’s eyes were calm, but his tone became cold and ruthless, and he said, “Qin Guang, I, the Prime Minister, follow the will of the people of West Shu and now announce that you are dismissed from your position as the City God of Luodu. This order will take effect immediately.”

“You want to depose me from the position of City God?”

Qin Chenghuang was stunned for a moment, looked down at his body and moved his arms a few times.

I could clearly feel a force being drawn away from my body.

Another force fell upon him, restraining his movements.

“I didn’t expect that a barbarian like you could actually mobilize the dragon vein power of Western Shu.”

He smiled strangely, “I underestimated you. You just became the inexplicable ‘Prime Minister’ and you have already controlled part of the destiny of Shu.

But you overestimate yourself, and overestimate the dragon vein power of the Western Shu royal family.”

A faint divine glow emanated from his body, which had activated the power of the City God.

The faint restraining force on my body was like snowflakes falling on a straw raincoat in winter.

He shook his body gently and the snowflakes fell down.

“Don’t say you are just the ‘national teacher’ of a remote small country. Even in the great state of China, the national teacher of the Great Qin can’t decide the life and death of the city god with a single word. Unless he has the ‘List of Conferred Gods’.”

Qin Chenghuang looked at her with a teasing look in his eyes, “Yu Zaiheng, do you have the List of Gods?”

Xiao Yu tied the “Prime Minister Seal” back to his waist slowly and said, “I don’t need the ‘Investiture of the Gods’. It’s just to remove a mere City God. I have something more useful and easier to operate.”

“clang!” The Qiao Shi sword behind him automatically came out of its sheath.

She raised her right hand, caught it, and pointed the tip of the sword at Qin Chenghuang, “When I become the prime minister, my first order will be to depose you.

It’s too late for you to beg for mercy now. Once the order is given, it cannot be taken back.

But you still have a choice.

Choose to give up your position as God and go back to hell, or I will send you to the eighteenth level of hell.”

“Yu Fengxian, you are really ridiculous, hahahaha~~~” Qin Chenghuang raised his head and laughed, his laughter was wanton and arrogant.

As he laughed, the power of the entire City God’s Blessed Land was mobilized instantly.

Moreover, the fluctuations of divine power spread in all directions, and gradually, the power of the earth of the entire Luodu quickly gathered towards the City God’s blessed land, came to the side of Qin Chenghuang, and was controlled by him.

The space between Xiaoyu and Qin Chenghuang was replaced by the khaki-colored divine light.

She seemed to have fallen into a swamp. Her head was already covered with mud and her body was sinking deeper and deeper. The pressure became heavier and it was difficult for her to even move.

If another earthly immortal were here at this time, he would be in a desperate situation and be at the mercy of others.

“Boom~~~”

The sword light was bright, and the “quagmire” was cut open by Qiao Shi’s sword, and then smashed by Xiao Yu who was holding the sword.

She held a sword in her hand, and the sword energy of the sword surged several feet, and she herself was also a sharp sword.

As fast as the sword light was, she, who had turned into a sword, was just as fast.

Qin Chenghuang only saw a flash of sharp sword energy, and Yu Fengxian had broken through the suppression of the “power of the earth” and came to him.

He was a little surprised, but not too flustered.

He was a “landlord” and in a flash, he went underground and disappeared.

Xiao Yu had a blank expression on his face. He swung his right hand upwards and the sword in his hand turned into a beam of light and shot out. While still in mid-air, it split into two, and one beam of light became two beams.

“Puchi!” The slightly slender sword light pierced through the roof and penetrated into a yellow light, and immediately a scream was heard.

It was the voice of Qin Chenghuang.

The slightly wider sword light shot out of the house, first penetrating the wall, then tearing apart the divine power world outside the window, and nailing it to a staggering figure.

“Ah~~” Another even more tragic howl.

As soon as the sound was heard, it disappeared in an instant, leaving only a broad sword wrapped in a glue-like yellow light, vibrating at a high frequency like a cicada’s wing, but unable to break free.

Xiaoyu herself had come out of the house without anyone noticing.

She was like a third sword, also transformed into a beam of sword light, her body was level with the ground, almost touching the ground, her right hand suddenly grabbed down, “Bang!”

The ground exploded with brilliant ochre-colored divine light.

She actually grabbed a person out of thin air from the ground.

It was Qin Guang, the City God.

Qin Guang’s face showed horror. He had never expected that he would be caught inside the City God’s Blessed Land in just two moves.

However, he had been the City God for 1,300 years after all and had rich combat experience. He immediately used his left hand to tear off the City God Seal from his waist and used it as a brick to smash Yu Fengxian’s head who was nearby. He then pinched a seal with his right hand and summoned the Book of Life and Death.

“Hua La La~~~” The Book of Life and Death flew out from his chest, opened page by page, and covered his body. The words on the paper seemed to come alive and poured into Yu Fengxian’s seven orifices.

“Buzz buzz buzz–clang~~~” Every sword bone in Xiaoyu’s body trembled like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

It was as if there were hundreds of flying swords hidden in her body, and at this moment hundreds of flying swords flew out at the same time.

Some flying swords are only as big as a palm and as wide as a finger, like swimming fish.

Some flying swords were like long snakes, flying in a winding manner.

Some flying swords are the same as ordinary three-foot long swords.
Various kinds of flying swords, all transformed from sword energy, flew out from her seven orifices and the acupoints throughout her body.

There are hundreds of them, so dazzling that it’s hard to see them all.

Some flying swords (transformed by sword energy) chopped into pieces the words flying out from the pages of the Book of Life and Death.

Some flying swords were like jacks, directly hitting the City God’s Seal.

Some were like skinning knives, peeling off the pages of the Book of Life and Death that were tightly attached to the body of the City God.

More colorful “Qi swords” bypassed the City God Seal and the Book of Life and Death, and penetrated into Qin Guang’s body’s many acupoints from his back, the top of his head, his seven orifices, his limbs.

Nail his divine body, lock up his divine power, and imprison his divine soul.

Every time a qi sword penetrated into a certain acupoint in his body, that acupoint would immediately crack into several holes, and divine blood would spill out. The surrounding divine bodies seemed to be cut directly from Qin Guang’s body and could no longer be controlled or sensed by him.

The whole process is a long story, but in fact, the complex and splendid “Sword Qi Sealing the Acupoints” happens in just a short moment.

Qin Chenghuang was caught from underground by Xiaoyu. Qin Chenghuang took out the divine seal and the Book of Life and Death that were pressed down in the box. Xiaoyu was afraid of destroying the two magical weapons of the Chenghuang, so he only used the sword bone to stimulate the sword energy to seal his divine body.

The next moment, “BOOM!”

Qin Chenghuang was like a dead dog thrown out from a high-speed train. He fell heavily to the ground, bounced a few times, rolled more than ten times, hit the courtyard wall, and bounced back.

He lay there like a corpse, motionless.

Blood was spurting out of his body.

Xiaoyu stood up and slowly brushed off the dust on her body. She waved her hand again and two swords, one wide and one thin, turned into light and flew towards her. On the way, the two swords met and merged into the “Qiao Shi Sword”, which landed in her right hand.
