Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 101 I will not enjoy the glory alone, nor will I run away alone if something happens!
High in the sky.

The City God looked down at the rapidly reversing situation below, his once clear eyes gradually turning crimson.

A dense, oppressive black aura surged from his body, emanating a terrifying pressure.

He let out a cold laugh that sounded like a ghost's howl, the waves of sound rippling outwards: "Very well! I always thought that I had taken good care of you, and that you would be grateful. I never expected that you would actually dare to betray me for a few sweet words and a baseless promise! Very well! Very well!!"

Although Lu Chen had subdued three thousand Yin soldiers and generals, he had no intention of completely breaking ties with the City God. Upon hearing this, he clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, there may still be room for maneuver in this matter. If Your Majesty would be lenient and let us leave, we would never forget your kindness today. As for what they have, you need not say more. What do you think of this amount?"

He held up five fingers.

"five million?"

"Fifty million!"

The audience erupted in uproar once again.

All the city gods of the prefectures and counties turned their attention to this place.

However, the City God's sneer grew even more ferocious: "Boy, do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have money? Today, you, a mere mortal, have caused this city to lose face so utterly. Do you think this city can still tolerate you?"

Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly swelled up, his fangs burst from his lips, and his skin turned deathly pale. In an instant, he transformed into a terrifying ghost god who was ten feet tall!
The immense pressure, like waves crashing against the shore, swept across all directions.

Behind him, the city gods of the prefecture and the county also responded.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into the appearance of a ghost or god.

They all revealed their fierce nature!

A malevolent aura was rising!

However, its physical body, based on its own level, is far less terrifying and enormous than that of the City God.

"General, be careful! The City God is truly enraged!"

The three thousand Yin soldiers and generals roared in unison, their ghostly energy connecting to instantly create a massive light shield, protecting Lu Chen in the center.

"Roar--!"

The city gods roared in unison, their voices solid and powerful, like a force that could destroy everything in its path!
The light shield trembled violently under the terrifying impact, flickering and clearly on the verge of collapse.

"Not good!" Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu's expressions changed simultaneously: "The City God has murderous intent! General!"

Lu Chen felt a chill run down his spine as well.

He originally thought that subduing three thousand Yin soldiers and generals would be enough to contend with the City God.

It seems that the strength of the three thousand Yin soldiers and generals has been overestimated, while the strength of the City Gods has been underestimated.

After all, even at its worst, the City God's strength is close to that of the Old Yama.

He's probably not much less powerful than the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.

It is unwise to go head-to-head with the opponent on their home turf.

"Damn it! Old man! Why aren't you here yet?"

Lu Chen was also anxious.

At this moment, the City God's killing intent had already locked onto him: "Don't think that just because you've turned a few of my servants against me, you can do anything to me? How laughable! Before I laid down my butcher's knife, in your words, I was a notorious SS-level Ghost King! Let alone three thousand Yin soldiers, even thirty thousand, I could wipe them out with a flick of my finger!"

He paused, then his smile twisted into a grimace: "I'm just trying to be kind and spare your life."

You're not leaving!
Then don't leave!

Having said that, the City God's giant hand slammed down in mid-air!

High in the sky, a gigantic ghostly hand suddenly materialized and crashed down with the force of Mount Tai!

Because it is located on Chenghuang Street, it is within the territory of the City God.

His abilities were greatly enhanced.

At the same time, it greatly weakened the strength of the Yin soldiers and generals.

"boom--!"

Just a meeting.

The defenses erected by the three thousand Yin soldiers and generals crumbled inch by inch, collapsing completely.

It even dispersed a lot of the ghostly aura.

The injury was quite serious.

Fortunately, the three thousand Yin soldiers and generals were not to be underestimated.

While defending against the devastation.

It also shattered and vanished on the spot by the enormous ghostly hand of the City God.

As the demonic claw shattered, His hand also trembled as if struck by a heavy blow.

Clearly, the City God was not entirely unharmed either.

"Your Excellency!" said Li Chenghuang of Jiangdu beside him with concern.

"No problem!" The City God opened his blood-red maw, his savage grin widening. "Today, I'll teach these treacherous bastards a lesson and see if they can withstand one attack, and even a second one!"

Xie Bi'an shouted urgently, "City God! Do you really want to make enemies of the Underworld and antagonize King Yama? Do you even know what relationship this general has with King Yama?!"

The City God sneered: "A living person trespasses into the underworld, kidnaps the souls of the dead, and disrupts the City God Assembly! Every single one of these is a capital offense! Let alone if he is a general of the underworld, even if he were a disciple of Yama, he wouldn't be able to step out of my City God Street today!"

Having said that, He raised his hand again, and terrifying ghostly energy gathered once more. "General, run! This old City God has gone mad!" Fan Wujiu cried out urgently.

At this moment, wails filled the surrounding area, and the strong wind made Lu Chen's robes flutter wildly.

His gaze was unwavering, and he shouted loudly, "I will not enjoy the glory alone, nor will I run away alone if something happens! I will not leave!"

In his mind, he couldn't help but frantically complain: "Old King Yama, what the hell are you doing? Why aren't you here yet?!"
However, these words were like an adrenaline shot injected into the three thousand Yin soldiers and generals.

--"loyalty!!!"

Three thousand Yin soldiers and generals gathered again and set up a defense, even stronger than before!
The City God roared in fury: "Still dare to be loyal?! Die!!"

The destructive ghostly hand pressed down again, determined to annihilate Lu Chen's soul and spirit!

"City God! How dare you—!!!"

boom! ! !
But at this moment.

A roar seemed to explode from the deepest part of the Netherworld, shaking the entire Ghost Realm!
Then another enormous ghostly hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the giant palm that the City God was about to strike.

The two towering ghostly hands clashed violently in mid-air. At the point of their struggle, space distorted, and a series of deafening roars erupted, causing the entire ghost realm to tremble violently.

"King Yama!" Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu finally felt a huge weight lifted from their hearts.

"General, I'm back!" The returning bull-headed man immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lu Chen.

"Niu'er, why have you been gone for so long?" Fan Wujiu asked reproachfully.

“Eighth Master, we’ve actually been here for a while now…” Niu Touweng said in a low voice.

"What? Why?"

"Uh... Yama said he wanted to see the general's ability to respond to situations, and the result was..."

"What's the result?"

"As a result, Yama was... dumbfounded."

Xie Bi'an and Fan Wuzui: "..."

As they talked, the contest in the sky had already been decided.

"Boom——!"

Due to a significant gap in strength.

The City God's ghostly hand was ultimately no match for the demon and was crushed!
The violent impact transformed into sonic waves that swept across the sky, instantly dispersing the dark clouds and revealing a pale, round moon.

"puff!"

High in the sky, the City God spat out a mouthful of "blood".

Clearly, he had suffered considerable injuries in the very first encounter.

"King Yama! You!!!" He was filled with shock and anger, looking behind Lu Chen.

There, a gigantic ghostly figure, more majestic and terrifying than all His divine and magical forms combined, appeared, blotting out the sky and the sun.

The ghostly figure opened its eyes, its crimson gaze sending shivers down one's spine.

Several county gods knelt down on the spot, repeatedly calling out "Lord Yama".

The city gods of the prefecture also changed their expressions drastically, and they all changed their true colors, reverted to their official status, and bowed in respect.

The King of Hell's voice was filled with terrifying killing intent: "Go to hell! You dare to kill even my men! Believe me, today I will cripple your cultivation, shatter your status, and make you wish you were dead!"

Upon hearing this, the City God was furious: "Lord Yama, even you are breaking the rules?"

"You've broken all the rules! How I act is none of your business! Release them now!"

Below, Lu Chen listened, secretly clicking his tongue in amazement.

As expected of our old Yama King who keeps up with the times, he keeps calling me "old mother"...

You speak so elegantly!
"you!!!!!"

At this moment, the City God was truly enraged to the extreme.

What a disgrace that such a grand City God Festival has turned into this!
The key point is that he was clearly acting in accordance with the law, but his troops were taken away and he was even publicly scolded by the King of Hell!
As the city god of this prefecture, I have never suffered such a great humiliation!
"King Yama! Although my City God is under the jurisdiction of the Underworld, do not forget that this court respects the laws of Heaven above and abides by the regulations of the Underworld below! No matter which law is followed, what this court has done today is absolutely without fault! Not to mention that you are the ones breaking the law and disrupting order! Even if you are King Yama, you cannot insult this court like this! Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the Supreme Emperor of the Underworld—the Great Emperor of Fengdu—and impeach you?!"

He solemnly clasped his hands towards the eastern horizon.

"You think you can see the Supreme Being?" Yama sneered.

"I am of lowly rank, but the City God can do it! If you do not give me an explanation today, I will personally go to the capital to meet the City God and ask Him to personally go to Fengdu and deliver this memorial to Him!"

The city god's attitude was resolute and uncompromising.

Today, the city gods of the entire province are all present. If He were to yield, how would He gain the respect of the people in the future?

We must win back this face!
"you……!"

Upon hearing this, even the imposing aura of the King of Hell instantly froze.

They were clearly somewhat wary.

Xie Bi'an: "This is bad, it seems the City God has really been pushed to the limit!"

　There's one more chapter I can't revise. I'll deal with it during the day.
