Above the clouds, Zhang Ling raised Yu Linglong, and his aura suddenly surged. His cultivation reached the highest level of perfection, causing the sky to split and the strong wind to blow against him.
The green lotus in his sleeve was drawn out, containing infinite thunderous explosions. A long rainbow came out and hung at his side. The sword was fearless, pointing directly at the God of Duyang Lake.
Zhang Ling's eyes were slightly closed, with stars in them, and his long, inky black hair fluttered freely in the strong wind.
But he did not forget to grab the unconscious Nian Wuwang with one hand, then took a step forward, keeping silent, but revealing his murderous intent.
Seeing this, the gray dragon took three steps back in horror. He didn't expect that he would hit a wall this time and attract the plague god!
It may take tens of thousands of years for a wandering god of good and evil to appear, and three conditions must be met before he can be born.
First, to be chosen by heaven.
Second, favor the saint’s decree.
Third, it coincides with the ten-thousand-year selection.
If any of these three conditions cannot be met, the position of the God of Good and Evil cannot be created.
The great god of Duyang Lake was full of thoughts. Now that the world has been settled and is peaceful, such a patrolling god has appeared.
His mind raced as he hurriedly sent a message to a certain sacred secret master, informing him of the events that had taken place here and the whole story of Nian Wuwang, hoping that the other party could come to the rescue as soon as possible.
After the message was transmitted, the Great God of Duyang Lake immediately withdrew his arrogance. He was ready to fight and said he would teach Zhang Ling a lesson, but the next moment, he smiled gently, "So you are the god of good and evil appointed by the heavens. I am so sorry for the disrespect I caused you. I hope you will forgive me for any offense I caused you!"
At the right time, the expression of the great god of Duyang Lake changed as fast as turning the pages of a book, and he seemed to have changed his mind and was ready to treat him with courtesy. He said a lot of good words and ordered the shrimp soldiers, crab generals, fish monsters and turtle spirits in the lake to take off their armor and withdraw their troops. He also prepared wine and delicious food and was ready to invite him to a feast.
Zhang Ling listened quietly to the gray dragon's words, but shook his head, unwilling to waste any more words. He spoke again, "Great God of Duyang Lake, let me ask you one last question. Was it your idea for your grandnephew to devour mortal souls for cultivation?"
Just as the God of Duyang Lake was about to answer, clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, and the light became dark. A dragon's roar was heard, and from a distance, a long giant object was tumbling in the air and flying towards this place.
Zhang Ling looked with his Dharma eyes and saw a camel-colored dragon that was a hundred feet long. It had already achieved the Dao Fruit of Xuanxian, and its aura was powerful and should not be underestimated.
"My fellow immortal, the water god of Duyang Lake governs the region and shoulders the responsibility of protecting the mortal world. How could he instigate his grandson and nephew to commit such a heinous act? There must be some misunderstanding!"
The camel-colored dragon flew closer and transformed into a middle-aged man with extraordinary dignity. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, a long robe with a trailing tail, an imperial crown on his head, and jade curtains hanging down. The dragon scales on his face shone like gold in the sunlight, dazzling and dazzling. His long dragon horns shot up into the sky, forming the shape of a curved tree branch.
"Meet the Water Emperor!"
When the God of Duyang Lake saw the visitor, he couldn't help but smile with joy. He immediately bowed to greet him with a tone full of respect.
Water Emperor?
Zhang Ling looked at the uninvited guest with some suspicion, thinking in his heart, could it be one of the Jiujiang Water Emperors?
"My fellow immortal, I am one of the Nine River Water Emperors. I am honored to be the Water Emperor of the Southern River. People also respect me as the Water Emperor of the Five Rivers. It is a pleasure to meet you today!"
"This Duyang Lake Water God is under my command. I know his character and virtues best. He would never instigate his grandson or nephew to do something perverse or treasonous!"
The middle-aged man stood in the clouds with his hands behind his back, and calmly cleared the charges against the God of Duyang Lake. His face was full of an expression of full authority and no room for questioning.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ling secretly thought that he was right. The person who came was indeed one of the Jiujiang Water Emperors!
Since he is the Water Emperor of Nanjiang River, and is honored as the Water Emperor of Wuchuan River, he naturally has to be given some face and cannot start shouting for war and killing right away. However, giving face is giving face, and what needs to be done cannot be delayed.
Zhang Ling immediately clasped his fists and said "Nice to meet you" to the Water Emperor. He believed that one should not hit a smiling person. Since the other party wanted to forcibly intervene in this matter, he would have a good confrontation with him.
He wasn't afraid that someone would jump out to defend him. It would be better if this matter got out of hand anyway, because someone would have to pay the price eventually.
"Since the Water Emperor of Nanjiang has come in person, this matter will be easy to handle. The man beside me is called Nian Wuwang, the grandson and nephew of the Great God of Duyang Lake. He has personally admitted his crimes and that his devouring of mortals for cultivation was all due to his uncle's advice and guidance. Since the Immortal feels that there is a misunderstanding here, why not wake Nian Wuwang up and confront him?"
When Zhang Ling said this, the Water Emperor of Nanjiang and the God of Duyang Lake looked at each other, as if they were communicating with each other and planning something.
The Great God of Duyang Lake looked at the Water Emperor beside him and said in a telepathic voice, "Shangzun, what should we do about this?"
The Water Emperor of Nanjiang pondered for a moment and replied, "Your grandson and nephew can only bear the blame alone. Later, I will cast a spell to awaken Nian Wuwang. You can personally explain the pros and cons of this secret method to him and tell him not to make it public. He can just bear the blame silently.
As long as you don't go up to the Immortal Execution Platform, you won't die, and your soul won't dissipate. You have to make the decision yourself, and I will help you settle Nian Wuwang's soul. Don't worry, the great gods in the Netherworld have a friendship with me. When the time comes, Nian Wuwang's soul will be safe and sound, and will escape to the Netherworld. When you reincarnate and walk across the Naihe Bridge, you won't have to drink the Mengpo soup, and all the memories of this life will remain.
If he is reborn into a wealthy and powerful family in the mortal world, you can accept him as your disciple. This cycle will also be a spiritual training for your grandson and nephew, which will be of great benefit to his future cultivation."
The Great God of Duyang Lake immediately burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Excellency!"
The Nanjiang Water Emperor continued, "Your sister has been missing her grandson lately. I'd like you to bring Nian Wuwang to the Nanjiang Imperial Palace when you have time. However, since I'm interfering in this matter now, I'd like to wait for the right time. Once this matter is resolved, you can come to the Nanjiang Imperial Palace in person to comfort her."
"I will obey your command. I am honored to have your mercy on me!"
The God of Duyang Lake was filled with joy, and when he looked at Zhang Ling again, he couldn't help feeling complacent. As long as he had the support of the Old Water Emperor of Nanjiang behind him, the Duyang Lake would remain in power, and he would have the final say in the land!
The Water Emperor of Nanjiang pondered for a moment, then sent a secret message to the Great God of Duyang Lake: "Your sister's waist is getting thinner and thinner, and her martial arts skills are becoming more and more sophisticated. I am very pleased."
The smile on the face of the God of Duyang Lake became even wider. This was one of the important reasons for his ironclad relationship with the Water Emperor of Nanjiang!
Thinking of this, the great god Duyanghu straightened his back even more, but he also sighed in his heart: My sister is such a top-notch girl, but her husband died young, and she got nothing for this old guy!
It was reasonable for him to sigh like this. After all, he was one of the Five Great Gods and he had the necessary character. Selling out one's sister to gain power had been ridiculed since ancient times. No matter who it was, it would be distorted and false to say that he had no resentment at all.
But the current situation is stronger than people, and nothing is more in line with interests than this.
