I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 601 Alarms the Cang Mansion
"Still want to escape?"

Xingyi was already prepared.

As soon as Jiao Ting broke free of the water prison, a thunder talisman appeared, spontaneously combusting without fire, and transformed into a bolt of lightning that crashed down upon him.

At the same time, the dragon claw, transformed from the Earth Tablet and covered in blue scales, followed closely behind the lightning, reaching out to grab Jiao Ting.

"boom--!"

In his panic, Jiao Ting was unable to dodge in time and was struck squarely in the chest by lightning. His flesh exploded, and half of his body was charred black, as if it had been torn apart.

"Xingyi!" He roared, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

He was struck by lightning twice, and his injuries were extremely severe.

"I am the adopted son of the Third Master of the Cang Family. If you kill me today, you will be making an enemy of the Cang Family of the county, and the Cang Family will never let you go!"

His voice held a final, desperate reliance.

But Xingyi's expression remained cold and unwavering as she clearly shouted:

"Evil spirits are wreaking havoc and poisoning the people. Even if you have the Cang Mansion backing you, I will rid the people of this scourge today!"

As they spoke, the dragon claw, carrying a torrent of water, descended with overwhelming force.

The look of horror in Jiao Ting's eyes froze at the last moment before plunging into complete darkness.

As the tide receded, the world fell into a deathly silence.

Xingyi stood suspended in mid-air, her long hair billowing in the wind, her eyes cold and clear as she looked down at the earth.

She was surrounded by the waves of the stream, like a mermaid female war goddess!
Seeing that the Wolf King and the Dragon Grand Marshal were both destroyed, the wolf tribe and the water demon soldiers were terrified and fled in disarray like birds and beasts. But no matter where they fled, the shadow in their hearts lingered like a venomous maggot.

"The Wolf King... Grand Commandant Jiao... are they both dead?"

"Impossible... How could the Land God be so powerful!"

"It's over... The Iron Throat Wolf Clan and the Stream River Dragon Mansion cease to exist from this day forward!"

Amidst the screams of the routed army, Xingyi's sleeves fluttered lightly, her clear and cold voice echoing across the mountains and fields:

"The Iron-Throated Wolf Clan has wreaked havoc on the people, plundering medicinal herbs and harming living beings. From this day forward, this clan will be annihilated!"

After the Xiling Iron Throat Wolf Tribe was wiped out, Xingyi did not pause for a moment, but instead led her troops straight to the upper reaches of the Jianhe River, heading directly for the Jiao Mansion.

With Jiao Ting no longer in charge, and the water demons suffering heavy losses in the battle of Xiling, the Stream River Flood Dragon Palace, despite its protective array, was not strong enough to hold out for long. Xingyi, with its combined water and thunder attacks and surging tides, breached the palace in just a few days.

The Dragon King's Mansion of Jianhe was destroyed from then on.

All the treasures, immortal stones, and spiritual stones in the mansion were confiscated.

On that day, Xingyi led his troops back in triumph, and the sound of their triumphant return was like thunder.

The news swept through Jade Stream, and the people spread the word, making the story of the demon cultivator a hot topic:
"Both Lang Heng and Jiao Ting died at the hands of the Earth God!"

"Whether it's Lang Heng or Jiao Ting, Jiao Ting is a water dragon with a powerful physique and boundless true essence. Ordinary eighth-tribulation demon cultivators would never dare to claim a match for him, and he was utterly defeated!"

"I've heard that when you unleash your Water Thunder Divine Power, thunder strikes water, and the heavens and earth change color, it's comparable to the techniques of a celestial being!"

"With such power, it seems that a true immortal is about to emerge from Jade Valley!"

"With only the Immortal Xu in charge of Jade Stream, no evil cultivators or fierce demons will dare to cause trouble or commit evil deeds anymore. From now on, we can cultivate in peace and live a peaceful and prosperous life!"

"Don't be too happy yet. Jiao Ting is the adopted son of the Third Master of the Cang Family in the county town. I'm afraid the Third Master of the Cang Family won't let this go after he hears the news!"

"Yes, the Third Master of the Cang Family is a Second-Level True Immortal. If he doesn't give up, forget about you attaining the Rank of Void Immortal; your life might be in danger!" "What should we do then?"

Among the crowd, some knew Jiao Ting's background, and while they were excited and thrilled, they couldn't help but worry.

But regardless, that's all unknown for the future, and most ordinary people and demon cultivators are unaware of the implications.

Xingyi's expedition once again annihilated two major evil forces, greatly enhancing the reputation of the local temple. The demon cultivators who had harbored ulterior motives were terrified and either retreated or fled to other places; the common people rushed to worship her, calling Xingyi "Goddess of the Abyss" and revering her as a living immortal.

Inside the temple, the soldiers were filled with high spirits. Seeing Xingyi's even greater prestige, they all felt awe and reverence.

After returning to the temple, Xingyi separated half of her primordial spirit to guard the statue and receive a constant stream of incense offerings, while the other half carried the spoils of war into the back hall.

"Slaying Langheng and destroying Jiaoting have brought your essence, energy, and spirit to their peak. With the gathering of incense offerings, it seems you are about to undergo tribulation and attain the position of a Void Immortal." Xia Daoming sat upright and watched, his eyes smiling.

"It's all thanks to Master Xia's guidance." Xingyi respectfully presented the spoils of war.

Xia Daoming still took half of what he needed and returned the rest, allowing her to use it to reward the troops.

Xingyi accepted the reward and withdrew. The generals discussed their merits, and everyone received a generous reward, which further solidified the morale of the army.

In just three days, calamity loomed overhead, and the might of Heaven rolled in.

Xingyi is about to face the Eighth or Ninth Heavenly Tribulation.

This tribulation was originally extremely dangerous, but Xingyi now possesses profound cultivation and is blessed with incense offerings. Despite the thunderous bombardment, she passed through it steadily and entered the Ninth Tribulation God Transformation Realm.

Her prestige grew even greater as a result, and thousands of households in Yujian Temple lit incense and offered prayers day and night.
-
Biyuan County City, with its majestic city walls. In the western part of the city, the Cang family mansion lies deep within.

The Third Master, Cang Shunyi, was drinking and making merry in the hall, with singing and dancing filling the air, when a steward hurriedly knelt in and reported:
"Reporting to the Third Master, six days ago, the Jade Stream God suddenly launched an attack, destroyed the Stream River Dragon Mansion, and Young Master Jiao Ting... perished in the attack."

"Oh?" Cang Shunyi stopped drinking, his voice neither loud nor soft, but his eyes suddenly turned icy.

"Who is Yujianzhi now? Does he not know that Jiaoting is my adopted son?"

"Reporting to the master, she is a mermaid woman named Xingyi. She ascended from the lower realm. Her aptitude is not bad. She barely managed to reach the position of Earth God. Her cultivation is limited to the Eighth Tribulation Nascent Soul stage. Her foundation is shallow and she has no powerful backing."

"Without any connections or backing, you dare to touch my adopted son?" Cang Shunyi chuckled coldly, then seemed to ponder, a smile curving his lips. "However, since she is a mermaid woman... if she is sensible and knows what's good for her, I might be able to spare her life."

"This old servant understands." The steward bowed, a meaningful smile appearing in his eyes.

The next day, he rode his Iron-Maned Wolf and led his men straight to Jade Stream.
-
Inside the Earth God Temple, the main hall was solemn.

The steward of the Cang family sat with his legs crossed, leisurely sipping his tea: "No wonder you were able to kill Jiao Ting, it turns out you have already reached the Ninth Tribulation Nascent Soul stage. But... Jiao Ting is my master's adopted son, you must give me an explanation, sir?"

"How do you expect me to explain this to the steward?" Xingyi asked coldly.

"The master admires the gentle nature of the mermaids most. If you, sir, could personally go to the Cang residence and whisper some kind words of flattery in his ear, the master will naturally understand and will not pursue the matter further." The steward smiled meaningfully.

Xingyi's gaze suddenly darkened, and she immediately picked up her teacup, her voice as cold as frost: "Hongxia, see the guest out."

The steward abruptly stood up, exuding a powerful aura, and said coldly, "Does the master truly not know what's good for him?"

Xingyi's aura surged, and the watery energy surged, pressing down on him until his face turned ashen.

"I am the local deity, it is my duty to vanquish evil demons and protect the people. Jiao Ting, who ran rampant, deserved to die! As for your master, his lax management of his subordinates should serve as a warning!"

"I hope you have the guts to speak so arrogantly in front of my master!"

The manager sneered and turned to leave.

　That concludes today's update.
