I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 624 Reaction
Instantly, fear spread like a plague through the Cangfu army, the soldiers trembled, and their formation completely collapsed.

Some screamed in agony, others turned and ran. In an instant, the Cangfu army was thrown into chaos, with wails, cries, and sounds of fleeing merging into a scene of earth-shattering carnage.

The civilians watching from afar were all dumbfounded, hardly able to believe what they were seeing.

"This...this is the Lord Si Tu we worship?"

"She actually suppressed Third Master Cang and many elders who came to help all by herself!"

"Divine Yin Water, suppress all demons!"

"Master Situ is mighty!"

"The Goddess of the Land, truly a deity descended from heaven!"

The power of incense offerings and prayers, like an undercurrent, arose from the hearts of countless people and converged towards Xingyi.

Xingyi stood before the army, her black hair flying, holding the Taiyin Cold Bottle in her hand, her cold eyes sweeping across all directions. She was like a deity descending to earth, with supreme majesty.

The setting sun was like blood, and the evening glow was like fire.

The great battle finally came to an end, and faint frost and broken ripples still lingered on the upper reaches of the Jian River.

Xingyi left the land of Green Pool in the upper reaches of the Jian River, led her troops to guard the Immortal Stone Mine and clean up the battlefield, while she herself led the rest of her troops to escort the remnants of the Cang Mansion army back home.

The escort team stretched out in a long line, with prison vans forming a continuous queue.

The once arrogant Cang Shunyi and the elders of the Cang family are now all bound by chains with their collarbones pierced, their bodies stained with blood, and their primordial spirits are bound by specially made shackles from the Heavenly Court, completely suppressing their immortal power.

The former Third Master Cang and elder of the Cang family are now prisoners, slowly passing by the Cang Horned Ox-cart on both sides of the Jian River.

People along the way gathered like a tide.

Countless people rushed to the scene upon hearing the news, just to witness the triumphant return of the Grand Tutor, and to see how someone as esteemed as Master Cang San could end up in such a wretched state.

Exclamations, whispers, and shouts rose and fell:
"The Emperor's might is awe-inspiring; even Master Cang has become a prisoner!"

"The Goddess of Earth's divine power is unparalleled!"

At the same time, news of the battle on the upper reaches of the Jian River spread like wildfire throughout the six directions and even reached the county seat.

The candlelight flickered at the Baishizhidi Earth Temple.

Akagawa, Shiraishi, and Qiongzhi reunited, their expressions filled with apprehension, no longer displaying their former arrogance.

"Lord Si Tu actually possesses a rare treasure capable of releasing the Yin True Water!" Chi Chuan's face was pale and his voice trembled. "She was originally a mermaid, born with a water body. Obtaining this treasure is like adding wings to a tiger—Third Master Cang and the elders of the Cang family were all frozen and suppressed by her alone!"

"I heard that old fellow Green Pool has attained the Void Immortal realm. It's highly likely that the powerful figure behind Lord Si Tu helped him." Qiong Zhi's eyes flickered, her tone a mixture of envy, jealousy, and regret.

"That's for sure, otherwise Old Man Green Pool would have to endure at least two or three hundred more years to have any chance of attaining the rank of Void Immortal. And that old woman Black Ridge, if it weren't for the reward from the elders behind Lord Si Tu, how could she, with her strength and wealth, possibly be qualified to wield such a powerful immortal artifact!" Chi Chuan said, equally filled with envy and regret.

“It’s no use talking about this now. The key issue is that we disobeyed Lord Si Tu’s orders. If Lord Si Tu had held back, we wouldn’t have been blamed. If she had been defeated, we might have been able to stay out of it. But now that she has won a great victory, the three of us… are in grave danger.” Bai Shi stroked his goatee, his face ashen.

Upon hearing this, Akagawa and Qiongzhi lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Why not go to the Temple of the Earth God to plead guilty and atone for your sins?" After a long silence, Akakawa said in a low voice.

"Hmph, are you sure you want to atone for your sins? Don't forget, although Lord Si Tu's great victory in this battle is glorious, how could the Cang Mansion let it go? Even if the Cang Mansion swallows this insult, Lord Si Tu will still have to conquer the Dou Mansion, Black Abyss Palace, Blood Cloud Gate, Thousand-Foot Mountain, and other forces in the Six Directions of Qi! I think you won't have the chance to atone for your sins, but you'll definitely be cannon fodder!" Bai Shi sneered. "Then what do you suggest we do? We can't just wait for Lord Si Tu to come knocking on our door to demand justice!" Chi Chuan said.

“That’s definitely not going to work. With the current strength of the Chief Minister, if she really comes to question us, none of the three of us will be able to keep our heads! The only way now is to go to the City God Pavilion and request a transfer to the City God Pavilion or another place. Only in this way can we save our lives,” Bai Shi said.

Upon hearing this, Akakawa and Qiongzhi lowered their heads in silence again, and after a long while, they nodded helplessly.

The Dou Mansion, the Black Abyss Palace, and other residences in the Six Directions of the Land were heavily guarded, with torches illuminating the night and squads of soldiers patrolling incessantly.

Inside the main hall of the Cangfu government office in the prefectural city, the lights were on, but the atmosphere was tense and oppressive.

The old patriarch of the Cang family, Cang Hanyue, sat at the head of the table, with a thick, silver beard and an iron expression.

Six true immortals stood on either side.

"Father, let me lead my troops to raze the Jade Stream Temple!" said a majestic True Immortal of the Three Assemblies, sitting at the upper left.

This mighty and powerful immortal is none other than Cang Shunhong, the eldest master of the Cang family.

Cang Hanyue frowned deeply and said in a deep voice, "Arrogant! A mere Si Tu can suppress your clan uncle and third brother. Do you think the person behind her is an ordinary Second-Level True Immortal? Even your father is not entirely confident in taking her down."

“Father, aren’t you being too cautious? You are a water dragon with a powerful physique and abundant immortal power, far surpassing ordinary Four-Assembly True Immortals. No matter how powerful the True Immortal behind that mermaid woman is, he is only a Two-Assembly True Immortal. To be able to fight someone one level higher is already extraordinary. How could he possibly be your match?” A man dressed in a blue robe and dressed as a scholar stood up and cupped his hands in greeting.

This person is Cang Shunyun, the second master of the Cang family, also known as the Second Immortal.

"I am nothing more than a mixed dragon body. In this Biyuan County, I can still be said to be superior to ordinary True Immortals of the Four Realms, but if we really look at the Immortal Realm, I am just an ordinary True Immortal. It is said that Xingyi comes from the lower realm. Since that person is her elder, he must also come from the lower realm."

Those from the lower realms who can ascend to the immortal realm are all exceptionally talented and possess unwavering Daoist hearts. Those who can cultivate to the Second Stage are truly dragons among men, and transcending two levels is not impossible! Now that your third brother and the others have been captured, I must be cautious. Otherwise, if we act rashly and suffer another setback, the Cang family may fall into our hands! Cang Hanyue said solemnly.

"So, according to Father's wishes, are we just going to let that mermaid woman imprison and humiliate the disciples of my Cang family?" Cang Shunhong said with a face full of indignation and dissatisfaction.

"My Cang family isn't the only one involved in dividing up the six sacred stone veins, including the Jade Stream. What's wrong with observing for a while longer?" Cang Hanyue said coldly.

Inside the City God Pavilion, the City God stood with his hands behind his back by the window. Upon hearing the report, he was slightly startled, and then a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"It seems I greatly underestimated that person! Without even making a move, Xingyi alone managed to suppress four True Immortals and four Void Immortals of the Cang Mansion! Xingyi truly lives up to her reputation as a cultivator from the lower realm; after reforging her true body, she has such profound Daoist attainments and formidable immortal power!"

“Yes, that person is truly extraordinary! Moreover, Xingyi’s rapid growth must be related to him. I am worried—if she and the person behind her continue to grow, will they become too powerful to control?” The scholar bowed, his voice low.

"No matter how powerful they are, they are still just people without a foundation, and this is only the beginning. The old man will not give up so easily, and the Dou family and other forces will not voluntarily withdraw from the Six Directions Land. The real show is yet to come. Let's just wait and see, and watch from the sidelines!" The City God stroked his beard and laughed, looking very confident.

"Your Excellency is wise!" the scholar bowed and said.

Yujianqi, the Temple of the Earth God.

apse.

Xia Daoming gazed at Xingyi, who was entering the hall to report, with a smile in his eyes.

"That was a brilliant victory."

Xingyi bowed and said, "It's all thanks to Master's teachings."

"Bring in the four True Immortals, including Cang Shunyi."

　That concludes today's update.
