Chapter 1001 River God
The three of them discussed in the air for a while, but the sacrifice below was about to begin!

"The time has come!"

The old man shouted, but a hint of lust flashed in his eyes.

"You guys bring the tribute, and I'll personally take them to see the River God!"

At this time, someone in the crowd pushed out two women who were tied up tightly. These two women were a pair of sisters in the village who depended on each other for survival. Their parents died early, and they grew up relying on everyone's support. The older one was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the younger one was just over ten years old. At this moment, the two of them were crying, but they were surrounded by a group of strong men, even though some people felt sorry for them.

But if they are not sacrificed, the spot will fall on someone else. There is no choice but to use them as the starting point.

I saw that a few of the onlookers had expressions of reluctance on their faces, but the current situation did not allow them to be soft-hearted. This sorcerer had some reputation in the village and some abilities. Basically, those who offended him would have no good end. Once, an ignorant child discovered his ugly deeds, and later the whole family was in turmoil. There was really no way but to move away.

Since then, his prestige in the village has become even higher.

Now that this strange thing has happened again, no one dares to touch this bad luck and can only sigh in their hearts.

"It's just that you're so unlucky!"

Seeing that the two women had been brought over, the old man chuckled, pulled the rope handed to him by someone else, and walked over to say.

"Good children, don't be afraid. The River God is very kind. As long as you are obedient, the River God will definitely love you well!"

"Can you please let my sister go? I beg you, Immortal Hua. I kowtow to you. My sister is still young and ignorant. She doesn't know anything. I'm afraid she will offend the River God. Immortal Hua, please help me and talk to him. I will listen to you in everything!"

My sister spoke with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of pleading.

Old man Hua just smiled sarcastically and touched their tender skin with his dry claws covered with age spots and wrinkles.

"You'll obey me in everything? It's not impossible, but they're all watching us. Just follow me first, and after they leave, I'll quietly release your sister. How about that?"

Tears rolled down my sister's eyes, which were filled with tears, and she nodded hurriedly.

The old man Hua shouted, "The River God cannot see mortals like you. Get out!"

"Wait!"

At this moment, a light shout was heard.

Several yamen runners cleared the way. Xu Daoxian, dressed in his official robes, suddenly looked more dignified and righteous: "No one is allowed to leave!!!"

These villagers still had some courage in the countryside, but when they saw the adults in official robes, they lost their ferocity and the cruelty they had just shown to the sisters. They all knelt down and saluted.

At this time, it was the most discerning Deputy City Lord Zhou who shouted, "You bold and unruly commoner, now that you have met the City Lord, why don't you bow?"

He was shouting at the old man Hua. A trace of panic flashed in the old man's eyes. He didn't expect that it was the city lord himself who came. He hurriedly bowed and shouted.

"The villagers do not recognize the city lord's presence. Please punish them!"

After all, he was just a sorcerer who knew a few incomplete techniques to harm people. Naturally, he was afraid of the government in his heart, so he spoke very respectfully.

"I wonder why the city lord has come here?" Upon seeing this demon, a flicker of anger flashed in Xu Daoxian's eyes, but then it softened. He smiled and said, "I heard that a remarkable man has appeared here who can even converse with the river god. Ever since the Yinsha River froze over, I've been anxious day and night, unable to sleep or eat. I was shocked to hear this news and rushed here without stopping. I presume this remarkable man is you?"

The panic in Old Man Hua's eyes became even stronger. He just wanted to make a fortune. These ignorant villagers were easy to fool. If the problem could not be solved, he would make excuses and say that the river god was not satisfied and needed more sacrifices. If it just happened to work, that would be even better. These villagers would naturally believe him more. But it would be different when the big shots in the city came. How could they be fooled so easily?
Thinking of this, he panicked for a moment, his vest was already soaked, and he could only stammer.

"I, old man, was just told in a dream by the river god that I needed two maids, so I picked out two girls from the village and was about to send them to the river god."

After hearing the old man's explanation, Xu Daoxian smiled and nodded, saying, "So it's the River God's request. However, I really want to talk to the River God. Can you please not mention the frozen river? Why not let me send you a message to the River God on behalf of this city lord?"

"Ah, this?"

Old Man Hua was shocked when he heard this, and for a moment he couldn't hold the rope in his hand. Xu Daoxian stepped forward and pulled the two sisters over, looking at Old Man Hua coldly.

"What? Don't you understand what this city lord is saying? Come on, help me quickly to capture this man and send him to the river!"

"promise!"

Xu Daoxian had just started his new job and the rumors in the city about a god behind the new city lord were confirmed today. These people were all eager to see the god, so how could they not fight with all their might? They were all putting in 120,000 percent of their effort. Although this old man knew a little bit of magic, he was probably not even as good as Guangwei who used to walk the streets.

No matter what, Guangwei still had half a magic weapon with him, which made him have some skills, but he could only curse people at night. In essence, he was still an old man on his deathbed. How could he be a match for these ferocious yamen runners? He was captured in a few moves.

"Hmm? Why don't you send him down?"

Xu Daoxian watched coldly. Although the villagers around him were a little agitated, there were quite a few officers and soldiers in this group, and each of them was armed with a sword. They didn't even have the courage to resist a sorcerer, let alone stand up against the authority of the court.

Several yamen runners looked at each other, then tied up the old man and threw him onto the ice. However, the ice was so thick that he did not fall.

It was a bailiff who had the ingenuity to make a big hole in the river surface and then threw the old man Hua in.

"This……"

The villagers who were watching were stunned.

It's not like they haven't seen cruel officials before, but most of them only dared to be violent towards the common people. In front of these supernatural beings, they still maintained the necessary respect. Unexpectedly, the new city lord did not play by the rules and directly did this.

Seeing that Old Man Hua had lost his voice, Xu Daoxian spoke.

"Everyone, please don't panic. This city lord has already asked the immortal to investigate the cause of this matter. Please be patient."

Before he finished speaking, perhaps Old Man Hua had really gone to see the river god after falling into the water, or perhaps some strange beast was attracted here.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from under the ice of Yinsha River!
The surface of the river exploded, and a stream of scarlet water splashed, even carrying some torn clothes and rags. Along with the loud noise, the smell of blood also spread!
"Whoa! Whoa!"

A sound similar to crying was heard. It was called crying, but it was extremely hoarse, like the cry of a night owl, extremely harsh and unpleasant. Just hearing the sound made people dizzy.

“River God, River God!!!”

A villager suddenly raised his head and shouted in horror!
