From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 243 Is this considered sowing discord?
Dusk fell suddenly, and dark clouds loomed overhead.
At this moment, the whole world seemed to be shrouded by a giant curtain, and even thoughts were suppressed and made slow and sluggish.

Chu Xiong suddenly sensed something was wrong and abruptly looked up.

What did he see?
It was a huge fish that blotted out the sky.

It lay quietly in the void, without wind or waves, the void rippled slightly, but the surrounding land and waterways seemed to undulate and rise and fall with the energy of the giant fish.

Its scales are like a sunken iron armor, thick and interlocked, seemingly incredibly heavy, but its massive body is mostly connected to space, like an ancient dragon whale from the depths of the ocean, or a divine fish swimming from a distant dream, gazing at all living beings in the dream.

Even with Chu Xiong's strong will, he was momentarily stunned when he saw this big fish.

He soon discovered that there was a giant riding on the fish's back.

Although the giant had handsome features and a slender build, every inch of his flesh seemed to be constructed from mountains, giving people a strange illusion of both lightness and heaviness.

The giant's eyes were closed, yet it still exuded a sense of sacredness that made one afraid to look directly at it.

"This...how is this possible?"

Chu Xiong looked up at the man and the fish, feeling as if he were facing an endless mountain and sea pressing down on him, making it difficult to even breathe. The evil aura he had been releasing was also suppressed inside his body, making him unable to move.

Although the other party did not say a word or make any move, it was precisely this silence that made Chu Xiong feel a sense of indescribable shame.

Anger ensues.

Because he was actually frightened by the big fish at first, which is simply intolerable!
He immediately raised his eyebrows and glared, his body swelling again, about to transform into a hundred-foot-tall divine form, and then fiercely kick this mysterious figure off the clouds.

"town."

However, just as his body grew to ten zhang, the giant riding on the big fish suddenly opened his mouth and uttered a single word.

This move has no dazzling spells, no long incantations, and not even a starting stance; it consists of just one word.

But centered on the body of the large fish, it seemed to create a few ripples.

Ripples spread, and wherever the waves covered, the originally empty void seemed to turn into a vast ocean.

"Kaka."

An inexplicable, heavy force pressed down. Although it seemed invisible, it was as if it combined the weight of mountains and the power of the sea. There was no other force, just one word... heavy!

Extremely heavy!

All the vital energies in the world were trapped in a quagmire.

Chu Xiong felt his body sink, and even breathing became difficult. His body, which had been expanding, began to crack under the pressure of this force.

He himself was a spirit who had been conferred divine status, so naturally he did not have the vital organs of an ordinary human.

But under this incredibly terrifying pressure, he felt as if his consciousness was about to collapse.

Chu Xiong's eyes widened, and he suddenly shouted, trying to mobilize all his strength to push away the force, but it was like an ant trying to shake a mountain.

Seeing that their commander was in dire straits, the three thousand Yin soldiers beside him formed their own ranks, and their combined energy merged with Chu Xiong's.

The combined strength of three thousand men, harnessed through battle formation, was almost Chu Xiong's strongest attack.

"boom."

But as the heavy void descended, it seemed as if the faint images of mountains and seas were emerging.

On the flat land, a mark several hundred feet in circumference slowly emerged, as if an invisible force was pressing down on it little by little.

Chu Xiong was caught in the middle of this invisible force, and little by little, his body was breaking apart. No matter how hard he tried, he could not escape and could only watch helplessly as he was pressed deeper and deeper into the earth.

His three thousand soldiers, after screams of agony, were torn from their formation and routed.

"How could a deity be attacking the City God and the River God?"

"Could they be strange gods from the depths of Yinshan?" "No, their aura is pure, clearly they are officially appointed, not some random god who gathers faith on their own."

You Ming looked down at all of this, but he was still a little confused.

While I was in seclusion, what happened in the outside world?

However, I'm on the same side as the City God and his group, so whatever, I'll just beat them up first.

"This is...this is terrifying, what on earth is this thing?"

Chu Xiong was forced down several dozen feet into the ground by immense force. The power, like mountains and seas intertwining, remained above him, preventing him from moving.

His sense of frustration was undeniable.

Although he knew that his strength was by no means invincible, at least among the gods at the prefecture level, his strength was definitely top-notch.

Even if they encountered a powerful opponent, they shouldn't have been so thoroughly overwhelmed, without even a chance to fight back.

As for You Ming, he originally planned to grab the arrogant-looking guy who was the leader of the group and question him, but when he saw the haphazardly lying Yin soldiers, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

He remembered that among the many achievements in the [Hall of Business], there was one intermediate achievement called [Sweeping Across a Thousand Armies].

As the name suggests, it means to fight alone against at least a thousand enemies on the battlefield and escape unscathed or achieve victory.

He just suppressed three thousand divine soldiers in one go.

but……

He forgot to activate the cheat code [Karma Ranking].

Therefore, this achievement does not count.

Gan!
Missing such a great opportunity to farm achievements is more painful for a player like Youming who is addicted to grinding than losing a hundred million.

No, I have to get this achievement back.

Thinking of this, You Ming withdrew the power of the Mountain and Sea Suppression.

Chu Xiong struggled to his feet. Fortunately, although his opponent suppressed him with overwhelming force, they did not kill him.

Otherwise, once his soul is damaged, it will not be so easy to recover.

It seems this person was an accomplice invited by the City God of Changning, which is why everyone, even when fighting each other, still left room for maneuver.

Without hesitation, Chu Xiong mobilized his divine power and restored most of his body.

Divine power is indeed a versatile ability; as long as one has sufficient divine power, even the most severe injuries can be healed.

It's just a pity that it was too expensive; this one treatment cost him a year's salary.

Chu Xiong took a deep breath, and when he looked at the massive figure, the fighting spirit in his eyes was already well concealed.

He immediately cupped his hands in greeting, intending to inquire about the other party's background, but unexpectedly, the other party spoke first.

"Hey, why are you only treating yourself? Why don't you treat your men too?"

You Ming looked down at Chu Xiong and said.

"Ah... ah?"

Chu Xiong was caught off guard by the question. Was this some kind of attempt to sow discord? What business is it of yours whether I treat my subordinates or not?
If this were any other deity, they would simply brush it off with a vague excuse.

However, Chu Xiong had always shared the same clothes and food with his soldiers and treated them as brothers. You Ming's words, on the contrary, put him in a difficult position.
