The name "three hundred miles of water west of Dongting" sounds scary, but in fact, to the west of Dongting is the Yunmeng Lake which has long been dry.
The remaining water areas are just some pools that have not yet dried up, such as the Fubo Lake, tributaries of several rivers, and some large ponds and groundwater wells.
Even if the authority of the water gods of these water bodies were added together, it would still be far less powerful than the authority of the water gods of the real great rivers and lakes.
More importantly, since the authority of the water god is too dispersed and complicated, it will greatly affect the control of the water area by the authority holder. Forcibly taking away the authority of the water god is a completely thankless act.
Just as Shen Yuan was deep in thought, another aquatic deity that looked like a fathead catfish suddenly spoke:
"Your Excellency, I have discovered something unusual about Lord Fubo Dragon, but I don't know if I should tell you about it."
"explain."
“In the past few days, when I was interacting with Lord Fubo, I didn’t seem to feel my authority as the God of Water on him.
In fact, apart from some incense power, he does not have any aura of authority over the waters."
The fat catfish's words made Shen Yuan's pupils shrink suddenly, and he immediately realized the abnormality when he faced Fu Bo Long Jun before.
From the fight between Shen Yuan and Fubo Dragon King, Shen Yuan did not see the power exerted by Fubo Dragon King as the master of the Fubo Lake waters.
Apart from those water tornadoes, Lord Fu Bo Dragon did not show any power bestowed by the waters.
Shen Yuan had personally experienced the battle with the Dragon King of the Water Tribe ten thousand years ago, so he knew very well to what extent the Dragon King of the Water Tribe could exert the power of an area of water.
Even if Lord Fu Bo Long was just a mixed-blood dragon, his abilities would not be limited to what he showed before.
"Where did his water power go? And why did he take away the authority of the water god of the 300-li water area west of Dongting Lake?"
Such doubts arose in Shen Yuan's mind.
The water level in Fubo Lake continued to rise, and some platforms could no longer withstand the movement of the mountain and fell into the lake, which caused huge waves.
Finally, with the tremendous pressure brought by the rising water level, the mountain south of Fubo Lake began to collapse, and the flood instantly poured down from the cliff and rushed into the distance.
A flash of inspiration flashed through Shen Yuan's mind, and he suddenly looked at several water gods and asked:
"Can you sense the scope of this heavy rain?"
The fat catfish patted his chest and said:
"Although our authority over the waters has been taken away, we still have this ability."
After saying this, several water gods immediately focused their attention and tried to sense the scope of the heavy rain.
Afterwards, all the water gods showed expressions of extreme horror on their faces.
"Master, this heavy rain has covered the entire 300-li water area west of Dongting Lake!"
A gleam of light flashed in Shen Yuan's eyes, and the little clues in his mind gradually became clear.
He immediately turned his head and looked at the platform. The Maine Coon cat mixed in with the Qi-transforming monsters shouted loudly:
"Maine!"
Upon hearing this, the Maine Coon walked out directly from the Qi-transforming demon tribe.
Clouds come from dragons, winds come from tigers. The Maine Coon cat had inherited the talent of the tiger clan, and it leaped across several platforms and came to Shen Yuan. The snow on its head was almost thrown away.
"gentlemen!"
The Maine Coon lowered his head.
Shen Yuan did not have time to explain to it, he just sat on its back and said:
"Rush back to Yunmeng Village as fast as you can!"
The waters of Dongting Lake are extremely vast, covering more than just the area of Qingzhou.
The Dongting Lake is located in Cangzhou and Yunzhou, and the area 300 miles west of Dongting Lake is the junction of Qingzhou and Cangzhou.
The unusually heavy rain in such a vast area naturally attracted the attention of the top leaders of the two states.
Qingzhou, provincial government office.
The current Qingzhou Mu, Liao Yuan, sat in the conference room, looking at the various reports about the heavy rain with a serious expression.
Soon after, roars rang out in the conference room.
"This rain came too quickly and affected too large a range, completely covering the ancient Yunmeng Lake in the west."
"The rainfall in just two hours is equivalent to the rainfall in Qingzhou in the past year. There must be something wrong."
"Five river tributaries are already on the verge of flooding. Order Chunyang County and Nanting County to begin preparing to rescue the surrounding civilians."
"Imperial Astronomical Observatory, where are the people from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory?"
"Investigate those water gods thoroughly and find out the cause of this heavy rain."
Qingzhou Mu Liao Yuan was furious. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory headquarters in the imperial capital had repeatedly reminded all government officials in Daxia three months ago to prevent any large-scale abnormal phenomena in the sky and earth from occurring.
The current rainstorm has affected an area 300 miles west of Dongting Lake and the amount of precipitation is astonishing. It can no longer be explained by ordinary astronomical phenomena.
If we prevent a disaster in advance but are unable to stop it from happening, it will not have much impact.
But if he fails to accurately control the occurrence of the disaster, once the imperial capital holds him accountable, the first person to bear the brunt will inevitably be him, the Qingzhou governor.
Thinking of this, the provincial governor became even angrier.
In stark contrast to the furious attitude of Qingzhou Mu Liao Yuan, the governor Liu Yu who was in charge of the Qingzhou army behaved quite calmly and even tasted the tea in the cup with interest.
Seeing Qingzhou Mu Liao Yuan angry, Liu Yu also warned him:
"It's just a heavy rain. Why is the governor so angry over such a small matter?"
Upon hearing this, Liao Yuan glanced at Liu Yu unkindly and said in a cold voice:
"Master Liu has the support of the Liu family, so it doesn't matter if he resigns from the post of Qingzhou governor.
I, Liao Yuan, do not have such a backer, so naturally I cannot be as reckless as Lord Liu."
On the surface, Liao Yuan's words seemed to praise the Liu family's huge power, but in fact they were implicitly criticizing Liu Yu for relying on the Liu family to be promoted to the position of governor.
Liu Yu laughed when he heard this, completely ignoring Liao Yuan's sarcasm.
He knew better than anyone where this heavy rain came from.
The Fu Bo Dragon King of Fu Bo Lake wanted to take over Dongting Lake, and reached a deal with their Liu family half a month ago, which was to help conceal the information about the heavy rain and delay the actions of the Great Xia court.
With the Liu family's power in Qingzhou and his position as the governor of Qingzhou, it would be easy for him to block the news and delay the court's actions.
As long as the Fu Bo Dragon King takes control of Dongting Lake and becomes the Dragon King of Dongting Lake that has not appeared in thousands of years, even if the Great Xia court knows about this, it will have no choice but to recognize this Dragon King of Dongting Lake.
By then, the Liu family will have established contact with the Dragon King of Dongting Lake, and will surely be able to rise up in the prosperous cultivation era of the next few hundred years, so that the Liu family's influence will no longer be limited to one state.
In order to achieve this goal, the Liu family has made preparations in all aspects and will definitely be able to nip any signs in the bud.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu picked up the teacup again and tasted the tea in it.
At this moment, a violent wave of magical power suddenly came from the provincial government office, and then a figure broke through the glass window and forced its way into the office.
Waves of magical power suddenly arose in the office. As the power center of a state, the provincial government had no shortage of powerful people in the Qi Transformation Realm.
Just as these Qi Transformation Realm experts were locking onto the intruders, a figure who had broken into the office suddenly spoke:
"My Lord Governor, I want to report the Liu family for colluding with Lord Fubo Long to cause the rivers to overflow and flood Yunmeng Village!"
