Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

The prefect shook his head slightly, "Although I have the cultivation of a celestial being, I dare not intervene rashly. The thunderous aura of the other party is not that of a demon, but most likely a priest from the heavenly court.

Since it involves the Heavenly Court priests, it is not appropriate for us to intervene directly. You should go to the City God Temple and let the City God handle it.

After enjoying the incense and offerings from our human race for so many years, it’s time to do something.”

The master nodded in agreement, "It is said that this incident was caused by the disciples of Lingxi Sect. If nothing unexpected happens, it is likely that the mountain gods or river gods of Lingxi have come to help Lingxi Sect.

It would indeed be more appropriate for the City God to step in."

The prefect nodded and said, "Let's do it this way. It's not appropriate for me to meddle in the affairs between the heavenly officials, but I still have to clean up the mess that follows.

This short-sighted guy, I had guessed long ago that since he took the money but didn't do the job, something would go wrong sooner or later. I didn't expect it to happen so suddenly.

If the county governor holds me accountable, I will inevitably be held responsible for failing to supervise properly!

By the way, this matter was caused by the Lingxi Sect's approval document for selling elixirs, right?"

The master said hurriedly: "Indeed."

The prefect hummed, "In that case, after notifying the City God, you can also get the approval document from Lingxi Sect.

Also, choose a suitable shop and give it to him, saying it is my apology for not being strict with my subordinates!"

The master was stunned. "Sir, this is unnecessary, right? If the City God shows up, will we still need to care about the Lingxi Sect and the people behind him?"

The prefect shook his head, "You don't understand, the Great Shang is only a humane dynasty, how can it compare to the priests of heaven?

Even if the City God took action, at most he would punish that person. It was impossible for him to kill a priest and offer sacrifice to the heaven just because a judge died.

If I become jealous of the priest because of this, I am not afraid. You can't stay in the city forever, right?

Just do as I say. It's nothing more than giving you a shop. A simple gesture of goodwill can save you from a lot of trouble later on. There's no need to bring yourself into trouble just because you can't save face!"

The lawyer nodded, bowed, and left in a hurry.

After leaving the yamen, he first went to the City God Temple on the outskirts of the city, burned incense and reported what had happened that day.

The City God did not show up, but only an indifferent voice came from the temple.

"This matter has already been made known to me, and I am currently investigating his origins. He is still in the city, so I cannot show myself. Once he leaves, I will make him give an explanation!"

As the City God of the thirty-six counties in this prefecture, he is the immediate superior of the surrounding land gods and has the authority to control the river gods and mountain gods within his jurisdiction. Therefore, the City God has the confidence to say this.

The death of a prefectural magistrate was not a big deal, but the priests below killed people without reporting to him or getting his permission, which really did not give face to the City God!

After the master left, a vague figure appeared out of nowhere in the City God Temple, flipping through a special booklet in his hand.

"It turns out to be the newly recruited Lingxi Land God."

"Okay, okay, I didn't know to come and pay my respects to my superiors before joining the company. I'm more diligent than anyone else in killing people and causing trouble!"

"It's just right. Through this incident, I can give this fool a good lesson, make an example of him, and let the people below understand what respect and order mean!"

Chapter 954 If it doesn’t matter to you, then this God will be furious!

In Lingxi County, at the Earth God Temple, the messenger Yingning suspended the reception of pilgrims in accordance with the order of the Earth God.

Although she didn't understand why, Yingning had a rare few days of rest. She asked her master for leave and prepared to go down the mountain to buy some daily necessities and go home to visit her parents.

Song Xuan naturally did not make things difficult for her, and even gave her a storage ring, which contained some spirit stones and magic tools, as a benefit for her diligent and responsible work as a divine envoy during this period.

After Yingning left, Song Xuanru continued his practice as usual. If there was any difference from the past, it was that he seemed to be waiting for someone.

He was waiting for the arrival of the City God who governs this area of ​​one million miles!

I guess the City God is probably investigating his background right now, and he will show up when he's almost done.

...

On the outskirts of the city, in the City God Temple, deep in the back hall of the temple, the City God stepped out from the statue.

This City God, who looked to be about thirty years old, had a fair face and no beard, and was quite handsome. At this moment, he was not wearing the official uniform of the City God, but a gray robe. He stood in the void, with a posture of an immortal.

He was originally a Yin spirit from the underworld, practicing the way of ghost immortals. Eventually, he succeeded in his practice and was ranked among the immortals. He was valued by Judge Cui and came to the Human Dao Dynasty to serve as a city god.

His rank is not too high, but he is powerful. He is the chief officer of an important department of the underworld in the prehistoric times. A single word from him can decide the life and death of countless people in the world.

After finding out that Song Xuan was the newly appointed Lingxi Land God, he did not go straight to hold him accountable. Instead, he cautiously inquired about other information about the other party.

After making inquiries through the network of relationships he had built over the years, the City God finally figured out Song Xuan's background.

An ascender who had recently ascended from the lower realms.

No wonder they act so recklessly, killing people without any scruples. These ascenders were all respected ancestors in the lower realms, and they probably just ascended not long ago and haven't completely changed their mindset yet.

"It seems that you still lack training. Well, today, I will teach you, the Ascended One, a good lesson.

The world has changed. Primordial Chaos is no longer a netherworld where you can do whatever you want! "

With a wave of his sleeves, the City God prepared to set off. At this moment, a Yin spirit who looked like a subordinate walked out from the side of the City God Temple and whispered, "Sir, judging from the way he controlled thunder that day, he is most likely a celestial being who practices the way of thunder.

Although you have reached the realm of True Immortal through the power of incense over the years, you were born in the underworld after all, so the lightning magic still has some inhibitory effect on you."

The City God glanced at him and asked, "What do you want to say?"

The subordinate said, "From what I'm saying, the Land God is under the jurisdiction of both Heaven and Hell. But he is an immortal who has ascended to heaven, so Heaven probably attaches more importance to him.

After the lord has gone, the superior official will display his authority. If the other party is sensible and admits his mistake, the lord should not be unreasonable. It is not worth offending such a potential ascender just for the sake of a human judge.

"What if the other party doesn't know what's going on?"

“Then, sir, you must observe carefully before deciding whether to take action. After all, every ascender is not a simple person.

My Lord, make sure you are confident before you take action. And if you do, you must completely intimidate the opponent with the might of thunder. Otherwise, if you engage in a back-and-forth fight, it will be difficult for your majesty to maintain your dignity in the future!"

The City God nodded and said, "You have a point. I will make the appropriate judgment."

He felt somewhat unhappy. He was a true immortal, and he also held the position of City God. Even with the power of City God, how could he not be able to take down a land god?

But he had no intention of saying this out loud. This subordinate was the assistant recommended to him by Judge Cui from the underworld when he took office. He was both his helper and Judge Cui's spy.

If they really fall out over a trivial matter and bring the matter to Judge Cui, the only one who will suffer will be him, the City God.

After leaving the City God Temple, the City God stepped onto a silver flying boat. The flying boat was like a silver streak of light across the starry sky, roaring straight towards the Lingxi area.

One day later, a silver flying boat descended over the Lingxi Land God Temple. The City God stood at the front of the boat, his eyes slightly lowered, and an indifferent voice slowly rang out from his mouth.

"Lingxi Land God, come out to see me!"

His voice was not loud, but after he spoke it, it sounded like one rune of law after another, rumbling like thunder and spreading rapidly in all directions.

Inside the land temple, Song Xuan opened his eyes, his expression was normal, and he even smiled slightly.

This City God arrived later than he expected, and it seemed that he was a cautious person. He must have found out that he was an ascender and had no backing or support in the prehistoric world, so he came to him to question him.

Song Xuan stood up and took a step forward. His figure turned from virtual to real in the void, as if he had walked from ancient times to the real world.

This way of appearance made the City God's eyes shrink. He didn't even sense the slightest fluctuation of the opponent's breath just now. If this method was a sneak attack, it would definitely be very difficult to deal with.

If he had not been sure that this Lingxi land god had ascended less than half a year ago and had the cultivation level of a celestial immortal at most, he would have turned around and left.

After Song Xuan appeared, he clasped his fists and bowed slightly, "So it's the City God. I wonder what brings you here?"

Faced with the inquiry, the City God pondered for a moment and finally decided to maintain the dignity of his superior.

In terms of divine position, he is the immediate superior of the person in front of him. In terms of cultivation, he is a true immortal and the other party is a celestial immortal. In terms of backstage connections, he has Judge Cui as his backer in the underworld, and in the prehistoric world, he and some true immortal-level strongmen are regarded as fellow Taoists.

No matter how you look at it, there's no need for him to show weakness in front of this somewhat green and inexperienced subordinate.

At that moment, he asked in a somewhat stiff voice: "This God asks you, did you kill Li Tongpan, the prefectural governor?"

Song Xuan's expression was calm, and he hummed, "Exactly!"

"Song Xuan, I know your origins!"

The City God said in a cold voice: "You have just ascended to heaven and you dare to wantonly kill officials of the Humane Dynasty. You really don't take me seriously, do you?

You have to understand that this is the primitive world, and it is no longer the netherworld universe where you can act tyrannically.

Here, you are just a small land god, belonging to the bottom of the immortal god hierarchy. There are countless beings who can crush you to death with a single finger! "

Song Xuan smiled and said, "Your Excellency is right. How about this? Next time I kill someone, I will report it to you in advance. When I talk about it later, I will say that it was your permission!"

The City God's expression froze, and he immediately became angry. "Don't bother me with this nonsense!"

As he spoke, he carefully looked at Song Xuan, and seeing that he had no fear at all, he immediately felt a little suspicious.

"This person's attitude seems to be very confident. Could it be that after ascending to heaven, he met some powerful person?"

Thinking this in his heart, he softened his tone and said, "Since you have just ascended and don't know the rules, I won't make it too difficult for you.

Do you have any elders or familiar immortal friends in this vast world?

If so, please tell me their names. Perhaps I know them. If so, let's sit down and have a good chat. I will find a way to resolve your murder.

He said it rather implicitly, but Song Xuan had been in the officialdom for many years, so how could he not understand the meaning?

Boy, if there is anything related, find out quickly. If there is nothing related, then this God will get mad!

Chapter 955: Senior, Don’t Be Impulsive! Don’t Be Impulsive!

Song Xuan smiled slightly.

"Lord City God, there's no need to test me. I've been staying here since I ascended to heaven. I don't have any connections or elders in the prehistoric world. Whatever you want to do, just do it!"

The City God narrowed his eyes slightly. Song Xuan's confidence made him feel a little unsure, but after thinking about it, he decided to give it a try.

Maybe the other party is just bluffing?

If the City God cannot even deal with the Land God today, who in this area of ​​a million miles will take him seriously in the future?

If the dignity is gone and the morale of the people is low, it will be difficult to lead the team.

"In that case, I will handle the matter impartially!

"Lingxi Landlord, you killed an official of the Dao Dynasty without permission. According to the laws of the Heavenly Court, you will be punished with a hundred years of service, the surrender of a hundred years of incense, and twenty lashes!"

As he said this, he snorted coldly, "Are you satisfied with this judgment?"

Song Xuan shook his head lightly, "I don't accept it!"

"Oh? What are you dissatisfied with?"

The City God's expression turned cold. "This is already a special mercy for you because it's your first offense. If it were any other land, I would have sent him to the underworld and sent him to purgatory!"

Song Xuan smiled and said, "Since I entered the cultivation world, I have secretly sworn that no one in this world can judge me! You are no exception!"

The City God sneered, "As expected of an Ascended being. You're used to being arrogant in the lower realms, and you don't know how to restrain yourself in the prehistoric world. If that's the case, I'll teach you a lesson!"

After he finished speaking, he pinched the seal with his left hand, muttered something, then raised his right hand and pointed at Song Xuan.

As the City God pointed his finger, a golden light flashed out. In the flash of light, a golden man formed by magic condensed into shape. The moment it appeared, it clenched its fist and punched towards Song Xuan.

With this punch, golden runes appeared, causing sonic booms that echoed continuously over the land temple, and even the ground below was shaking slightly.

Song Xuan sensed the power in the fist. This punch could easily destroy a galaxy in the lower universe, but in the prehistoric world, it could only cause a sonic boom, and breaking a small hill was basically the limit.

Bang!

The fist light surrounded by golden runes hit Song Xuan's body solidly.

The City God's face lit up with joy at first, but there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

A small ascender, it turns out that this is all his ability. He only has one magic trick, and he hasn't even used the power of the City God. You can't hide from it. Next, just wait to be beaten!

But the next moment, the smile on his face froze in place. There was no fluctuation in Song Xuan's aura, nor any injuries. He just stood there calmly, staring at him quietly.

"I gave you a chance, but you're useless!"

Song Xuan looked calm and took a step forward. The City God only felt a shadow flash before his eyes. He did not see how the other party attacked, but he felt a slight chill in his chest.

He subconsciously looked down and saw that his ghost immortal body, which was condensed by the power of incense, was extremely transparent at this moment and was directly blasted through.

"how come...."

The City God's face turned pale. He couldn't understand it. After all, he was a True Immortal, but why was he as fragile as a newborn baby in front of Song Xuan, a celestial immortal who had just ascended to heaven?

Song Xuan placed one hand on the City God's head and said calmly, "Let me ask you, are you a True Immortal?"

"I, I am a true immortal!"

Song Xuan frowned, "You are a real immortal, but you are a little watery!"

Song Xuan was very clear about his own combat capability. Although his original body was at the celestial immortal realm, he was, after all, a celestial immortal of the innate god and demon level. Even if he met a true immortal, he could easily win.
