As Liu Yunqing uttered the soft word "annihilate," a red and white spiritual energy, shimmering with golden light, descended like a vast net, engulfing the person hiding in the shadows.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"
It looked like a light, floating wisp of spiritual energy, but when it landed, it had the power to shake the earth and mountains.
The witch doctor, who barely managed to dodge the attack by using a puppet substitute, broke out in a cold sweat!
"You, you really are the person they're looking for?!"
Liu Yunqing didn't waste words with the witch doctor. With a wave of her hand, she unleashed another burst of spiritual energy, heading straight for the witch doctor's face.
The witch doctor no longer held back, unleashing his full power as he raised his hand to parry Liu Yunqing's attack while attempting to dodge it using the same old trick.
He had a premonition that at this moment, or as long as this woman was in Sun Valley, she was invincible.
The witch doctor was filled with frustration. He had gone to great lengths to enter Sun Valley, hoping to find the person Sun Valley was waiting for, kill him, and then obtain the token that controlled Sun Valley.
Adhering to the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free," from the moment he entered Sun Valley, all the outsiders who happened to stumble in were silently eliminated by him.
After Liu Yunqing entered Sun Valley, the witch doctor had the same plan.
It was precisely this ordinary little golden core, which, after losing its spiritual power, rarely even put up a fight, that managed to find a way to survive, preventing him from succeeding for the time being.
But who would have thought that this carelessness would lead to the wrongful execution of all those who had been wrongly killed, while the real innocent were let go.
The witch doctor's face was contorted with rage as he kept releasing substitute puppets, thinking that he, a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, couldn't very well die a miserable death in Sun Valley.
He died at the hands of a mere Golden Core cultivator.
Unfortunately, although he knew some things, he clearly didn't know much.
Just as the witch doctor released a deceptively powerful substitute puppet at top speed and turned to conceal his whereabouts in an attempt to capture Liu Yunqing, three orbs of spiritual energy, each the size of a firefly, easily locked onto his sea of consciousness, heart meridian, and dantian.
There is no way out.
"What do you mean by this, young friend Zhenru?"
"You've only just recovered, and you're already starting to abandon me after I've served my purpose?"
Liu Yunqing looked at the witch doctor, who was on the verge of death but still trying to maintain his persona, chuckled softly, and reached out to grab the witch doctor's neck.
"The entire Sun Valley tribe are my people, stop acting."
After saying that, Liu Yunqing clenched her fist.
The moment that fist clenches, the witch doctor, a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, can lose his life in an instant.
But just as Liu Yunqing tightened her grip, she clearly sensed that most of the people of Sun Valley were instantly plunged into pain.
What did you do to them?
The witch doctor's expression was calm and composed, yet tinged with a hint of madness.
"What did you do?"
"Of course, I'll inoculate all your people with Gu poison. If you dare to kill me, they'll explode and die instantly!"
"Hahahaha!!! Come on!!!"
"Isn't he a god who controls everything?!"
"So what if you can control Sun Valley? This little girl is still too green to fight against an old man like me..."
The witch doctor shed his usual kind demeanor, appearing extremely agitated and ferocious after being captured by Liu Yunqing's golden core.
Seeing Liu Yunqing's hesitation and reluctance due to the Gu poison he had used, he couldn't help but start spouting wild and arrogant words.
He had been lurking in Sun Valley for so many years that he couldn't even remember how many, all in order to gain control of the Sun Valley and help him break through to ascension.
As a result, he had worked hard for many years to play the subservient role to no avail, while this little golden pill who had just arrived reaped the benefits. How could he not be angry?
Unfortunately, before the witch doctor could finish his wild ramblings, he felt a chill in his heart.
Looking down, he saw Liu Yunqing effortlessly pulling a plump, fat Gu worm from his heart meridian with a wisp of spiritual energy, as if picking beans.
"You can die now."
Using a ball of spiritual energy to wrap the mother Gu, Liu Yunqing looked at the witch doctor without any emotion in her eyes, and then gently clenched her fist.
"Wait! I..."
"Crack—Bang—"
Liu Yunqing didn't wait for the witch doctor to stall for time, and decisively crushed the witch doctor with her spiritual power.
She knew that what the other party wanted to say was nothing more than offering some secret in exchange for her life.
If conditions permit, Liu Yunqing would be willing to keep him here for a thorough interrogation.
However, the conditions at the time did not allow it.
Liu Yunqing occupied the ancestral hall, no, to be precise, it should be called the temple.
Liu Yunqing controlled the temple and could indeed control the entire Sun Valley. As long as she was in Sun Valley, no one could defy her.
In a sense, this Sun Valley is Liu Yunqing's absolute domain.
However, after countless millennia of decline, this "domain" has long since lost most of its power.
If Liu Yunqing hadn't been accidentally injured and entered Sun Valley, this place would probably have lasted another fifty or sixty years before being wiped out along with all the people of Sun Valley.
The already weak temple, having lost its worshippers, will turn into nothing more than ordinary, stubborn stones.
Liu Yunqing was unwilling to let the witch doctor go and expose the whereabouts of the temple for a piece of information whose veracity was unknown.
Furthermore, after successfully taking control of the temple, Liu Yunqing had a premonition that there was more than one such temple and Sun Valley, and that they were all very important to her.
To be precise, it is very important to the Golden Crow God Clan.
As Liu Yunqing watched the ashes of the witch doctor's corpse dissipate before her eyes, the dream on the Qingmeng Reincarnation Pool flashed through her mind.
"Welcome back to the position of the Divine Lord!!!"
"Welcome back to the position of the Divine Lord!!!"
Liu Yunqing descended from mid-air, leading the clansmen to gather in front of the temple. The clansman was the first to bow and shout, and the others followed suit.
Liu Yunqing wanted to say that he might not be some kind of god, but the ins and outs were too complicated and convoluted, and even if he explained it, these people might not believe him, so he was too lazy to correct him and just told everyone to stand up.
The clan leader, who had just stood up, was clearly filled with guilt and fear because of his previous schemes, and hesitated to speak for a moment.
Liu Yunqing knew his predicament and didn't mention it. Instead, she threw out the mother Gu in her hand and asked someone to save the clansmen who were infected with the Gu first.
"I'll discuss this further with the clan leader after the poison has been neutralized."
The clan chief opened his mouth, but dared not say anything more. He simply led his clansmen to thank him again before sending someone down to remove the poison.
...
"God Lord..."
When the clan leader returned to Liu Yunqing, the poison in his body had been cured. He was about to kneel down to pay his respects when Liu Yunqing raised her hand to stop him.
"Chief, there's no need for such formalities. I've only taken over one temple, so I'm not yet a god. Just call me Zhenru as before."
Upon hearing Liu Yunqing's words, the clan chief didn't have time to listen to the rest, and only said with some surprise:
"So the God Lord already knew?"
Liu Yunqing neither said yes nor no, but simply looked at the clan leader and said calmly:
“I know some things, but I need to verify whether what I know is the same as what the clan leader knows.”
