"Could it be a Taoist secret technique?" When the Green Crocodile King thought about this, he could only believe that it was a Taoist secret technique.

At this time, a demon cultivator beside him said, "My king, that Taoist priest injured you. Why don't you ask those mortals for more boys and girls? That would also compensate for your injury."

The Green Crocodile King said, "Do you think I don't want to? I can't! If I ask for too much at once, it might attract the attention of the Heavenly Court, and then the loss will outweigh the gain."

The Green Crocodile King is very smart. He only wants a pair of boys and girls every year. If he encounters a situation like today, he will ask for an extra pair.

People die in the world every day, and he only needs a pair of boys and girls every year, and allows mortals on both sides of the river to cross the river smoothly from Pingkou all year round. As long as he doesn't cause the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people, the heaven will not notice him at all.

After applying the medicine, King Green Crocodile put on his black armor again, but at this moment there was a big hole in the black armor on the left side of his chest. It was the hole that was pierced by the Taoist's sword just now.

"Damn it." The Green Crocodile King's face was full of distress. "This hole will take at least three years to repair."

This black armor is a low-grade spiritual treasure made from the scales shed from the Green Crocodile King's body. It has extremely strong defensive power. For hundreds of years, few people, let alone the Yang God Realm, have been able to break it. I didn't expect that I would be defeated today.

Just as the Green Crocodile King was cursing, a small demon with a human body and a fish tail swam hurriedly into the cave. "My king, report to my great king, there is a man outside the cave who wants you to go out and see him."

"Hmm?" The Green Crocodile King raised his head and sneered, "Let me go out and see him? Who is he?"

The little demon said, "I don't know, but that person is quite powerful and well-dressed. He doesn't seem like an ordinary person."

When the Green Crocodile King heard this, he frowned and then released his spiritual sense to investigate.

However, as soon as his spiritual thoughts flew out of the cave, they were blocked by streams of water elemental power and could not move forward even half an inch.

The Green Crocodile King's face darkened, and he immediately stood up and said to the little demons around him, "Little ones, follow me."

Afterwards, the Green Crocodile King led more than 300 little demons out of the cave. When he saw Xuan Lie with his own eyes, the Green Crocodile King's face suddenly changed.

The man was wearing a purple Doushu divine robe, a purple gold Suzaku crown on his head, and a Zhaowu sword on his waist. He looked majestic and awe-inspiring.

The 'Zhaowu Sword' was refined by the Tiangong Province (formerly the Tiangong Academy). It is a low-grade spiritual treasure and is the unified sword worn by the gods and immortal officials in the heavenly court. It is issued by the heavenly court. After receiving it, the gods and immortal officials can forge it themselves to upgrade the grade. If it is damaged, they can also ask the Tiangong Province for a replacement.

With such attire and such dignity, how could the Green Crocodile King not recognize him? This person is clearly from Heaven!

The Green Crocodile King sensed Xuan Lie's aura again and realized he was at the Yang God Realm. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward to greet him, saying, "I, the little demon Green Crocodile of Xujiang, pay my respects to the Supreme God. I wonder what orders the Supreme God has for you in Xujiang?"

Xuan Lie looked at the Green Crocodile King, who was bowing respectfully, and said calmly, "I am the newly appointed Water God of the Xu River in Heaven. I have come to take up my post today. However, along the way, I have noticed many corpses floating in the waters of the Xu River, especially those of human children. I have come to investigate."

King Qinglu was startled again. A new water god of the Xu River? Didn't that mean his days as the Xu River King were coming to an end? As the saying goes, there's no room for two tigers on the same mountain. Especially with a water god appointed by Heaven, how could he, a demon immortal who ruled over the water, outdo him?

Especially when the demon cultivators behind King Green Crocodile heard Xuan Lie say that he was the new water god of Xu River in Heaven, their eyes changed. Although they followed King Green Crocodile to harm others, they absolutely did not dare to have any rebellious thoughts towards Heaven.

King Qingluo also noticed this and immediately realized what was happening. He then bowed to Xuanlie and said, "So you are the new Water Lord. The Demon Fairy Qinglu greets His Excellency the Water Lord."

The mountain god is elegantly called "Shanjun" and the water god is elegantly called "Shuijun".

Xuan Lie returned the greeting with a bow, then said, "Do you know what I just asked you about?"

The Green Crocodile King quickly said, "My Lord, I don't know. Since I attained the Dao, I have been cultivating diligently in this Pingkou waters and have never harmed any living creatures on either side of the river!"

Xuan Lie said, "I didn't accuse you of killing any living being. I was just asking if you knew what happened to those children's corpses."

"Uh, this." Qinglu's face froze, then he bowed and said, "Your Excellency Shuijun, I don't know."

Xuan Lie looked at the Green Crocodile King and said, "Oh, I don't know? Who is the 'Water God Green Crocodile King' enshrined on the incense table outside on the shore?"

Upon hearing this, the Green Crocodile King remained calm and bowed, saying, "Lord Shuijun, please forgive me. I have protected the creatures on both sides of the river for many years and have made great contributions. Therefore, the creatures on both sides mistakenly believe that I am the water god of the Xu River and often worship me. Unfortunately, I am a demon fairy and cannot appear before mortals, so I cannot stop them. This was not my intention. I hope Lord Shuijun will forgive me."

Xuan Lie smiled slightly and said, "So you still have great merits?"

The Green Crocodile King bowed quickly and said, "I dare not."

Xuan Lie nodded slightly, then raised his hand and chanted a spell, saying, "Then who said this?"

As Xuan Lie finished the incantation, a bubble of spiritual light suddenly appeared. Then, it exploded, and a deep, ferocious voice rang out from within: "I am the Green Crocodile King, the water god of the Xu River. How dare you sit here and offend my water palace? The Xu River Palace must offer two pairs of boys and girls as sacrifices this year, otherwise I will not forgive you."

The Green Crocodile King's expression changed drastically, and Xuan Lie had already drawn the Zhaowu Sword from his waist. "Green Crocodile, you impersonated the Xu River God, demanding young boys and girls as sacrifices from mortals. You occupied the waters, stirred up trouble, and harmed lives. The laws of heaven are strict, and you must be executed!"
