Summit of the Old Gods

Hu City interrupted, "Other aspects."

Hu Jiaojiao was stunned for a while, then said, "Their character is very good. They are loyal and reliable comrades; I dare trust them with my back!

They are also devoted believers, exceedingly pious towards Lord Beifeng..."

Hu City: "..."

"Oh right, Yuxiang is a Moon Gazer!" Hu Jiaojiao suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "With her talent and combat strength, she absolutely has the qualifications to stay in Beifeng City, but she didn't."

"Oh?"

"Yuxiang has a special love for her hometown, a very small city named Rain Alley City, where powerful divine believers would not go to guard."

Hu Jiaojiao opened the conversation box; mentioning this, she felt regret for her best friend, yet pride for her:

"So Yuxiang went back, gave up a promising future, and returned to join the Divine People Bureau, guarding that hometown small city on the fifteenth night of every month."

Hu City nodded thoughtfully.

Setting aside the matter of the human clan being able to slay gods, regardless of how difficult it is to understand, this matter has indeed happened.

Let's talk solely about Deng Yuxiang.

Indeed, she might possibly harbor resentment toward Lord Beifeng because of that incident last time.

But Divine·Beifeng, after all, is relied upon by the people of Da Xia, so would Deng Yuxiang's hatred for the god extend to ignoring the life and death of the masses?

Perhaps not.

Or maybe, has Deng Yuxiang already fallen into the Demon Path?

However, the granddaughter said, Deng Yuxiang is a public officer of Da Xia, and once fought on the front line as a Moon Gazer.

She's the one who used her flesh to build the city's last line of defense on the fifteenth night of every month.

Would such a person fall into the Demon Path?

Another girl, Yan Shuangzi, is not as complicated as Deng Yuxiang. From beginning to end, Yan Shuangzi has been a proud, devoted North Wind Disciple.

Would she allow a close friend to fall into the Demon Path, and then join forces with them to slay their master?

It shouldn't be.

Thus, Deng Yuxiang and Yan Shuangzi must clearly understand what they're doing.

Both were once incredibly devoted believers, and since they've had a 180-degree change in attitude, raising a blade against the god...

There must be a reason!

Recalling the past few months, gods have fallen continuously, causing unrest in Da Xia and the entire world.

But in contrast, many Evil Demons have also fallen!

In terms of sheer numbers, more Evil Demons have fallen than gods.

Could it be considered that Den Yan's duo is not just slaying gods but also killing demons?

The gods declare the death of Evil Demons as a result of their endeavors...

But why, in the over forty years of the gods' presence, is it precisely now that the Evil Demons of various tribes are dying off en masse?

Today, during Lord Beifeng's final words, humanity has been elevated to a level capable of slaying gods, providing Hu City with a possibility!

The fall of gods has been confirmed to involve humans.

Then perhaps the fall of Evil Demons also includes the involvement of Deng Yuxiang and Yan Shuangzi!

There is another point that can serve as evidence.

Thinking carefully about it is quite horrifying: the fall of gods and demons started on the night of September fifteenth and has been unstoppable since.

Until last month, on the night of the Winter Moon fifteenth, Da Xia suffered a fierce invasion by Evil Demons.

The intensity of the invasion can be considered the highest since gods descended!

This move brewed countless tragedies in the Human World.

And right after the Winter Moon fifteenth night, the speed of god and demon falls accelerated tremendously!

Today is the third day of the twelfth month; in less than 20 days, the number of fallen gods and demons has already far exceeded the total from the September fifteenth to Winter Moon fifteenth period.

Nuoshua-Play Face, Cold Plum-Ice Plum Demon Queen, Bi Wu-Tree Face Demon, Thorn Rose-Ice Rose.

Blood Crystal-Blood Stone Demon, Black Brilliance-Black Stone Demon, Chenghua-Green Lampstand Demon, Prison Sky Demon, Master of Rain-Crying Willow, Yan Qing-Sea Merfolk.

Dong Ting-Purple Thunder Demon Peng, Jun Lan-Purple Thunder Orchid, Martial Monk...

Plus, just recently received news from all realms, the fallen gods include Beifeng, Mountain Lord, Sword Lotus, Ice Butterfly, War Horn.

Hu City has reason to believe that the opposing side to the gods, the Evil Demons like those stationed deep within the Evil Night Charm, Yinli Tiger, Black Lotus, Freezing Bury Man, will also fall together.

This is not blind optimistic hope.

Rather, it is a reasonable speculation based on the past two months, where God Demons have died in pairs and pairs.

Look at this list of fallen gods and demons!

How tragic is this?

Previously, Hu City knew nothing, but today he received a message that overturned his perception:

Humans can kill gods!

So, has the world already "Reversed Celestial Spirit"?

People fear gods, often worrying about angering the gods and attracting punishment.

But on the night of the fifteenth of the twelfth month, everything that happened in the human world... instead seemed like the gods and evil demons angered the Human Clan?

Evil demons invaded recklessly, the gods failed to protect the human world, and countless human tragedies kept happening within the Da Xia realm, thoroughly angering those like Deng Yuxiang and Yan Shuangzi from the Human Clan.

So within a mere 20 days, groups of gods and demons fell one after another!

Could it be?

On the surface, Hu City remained calm, but waves had long stirred in his heart.

Just now, Lord Beifeng angrily transmitted a message, commanding him to immediately report to All Gods about the true identities of Yan Shuangzi and Deng Yuxiang.

Furthermore, he ordered Hu City, the Human World Sect Master, to personally target those two's relatives in the human world, kill all their family members, and hang their heads one by one on the city gate...

When it comes to life and death, human nature is revealed.

This saying seems applicable to gods as well.

"Grandfather?" Hu Jiaojiao spoke in a trembling voice.

The mood at the Sea Realm Peak naturally affects the surrounding atmosphere.

"Hmm." Hu City rapidly restrained his aura.

Hu Jiaojiao asked, "Why are you asking about them?"

Hu City replied, "Do you have the contact information of your two close friends? Family members or relatives would also be fine."

"I only have their phone numbers, haven't interacted with their families."

"Try calling them, tell them their families might be in danger."

"Their... families are in danger?" Hu Jiaojiao naturally believed in her grandfather's words and hurriedly took out her phone, "I'll call them right now!"

However, her urgency was destined to meet no response.

Hu City had anticipated this, watching his granddaughter stubbornly making calls, he said, "Investigate the address of their family members, visit them in person.

I'll send a few trusted aides with you, you'll split into two teams. Act swiftly, after finding their relatives, immediately bring them back to our old home."

"Our old home? But it has been abandoned, it's a desolate village."

Hu City nodded slightly, "Stay there and protect those family members, don't come back."

Hu City raised his old hand and placed it on his granddaughter's shoulder, lowering his voice heavily: "When necessary, use any means. Their family members' personal wishes are unimportant, you must take them away, ensure their safety.

Apart from the people I send with you, don't trust anyone else, including your fellow sect members.

Remember, the people you're protecting might also be targets for your fellow disciples."

Hu Jiaojiao's eyes widened!

Hu City confirming with a gentle nod, "Go now, take those four guards at the door, remember to act discreetly and try to conceal your movements."

Hu Jiaojiao opened her mouth, wanting to say more.

But Hu City, who always appeared affable in front of his granddaughter, sternly said, "Go now!"

"Yes." Hu Jiaojiao's body trembled slightly, she had to lower her head.

Despite being at the Initial Stage of the Sea Realm, on an equal level with Hu City's Great Realm, the authority of the Human World Sect Master in the North Wind Sect was extraordinary.

Watching his granddaughter's figure disappear at the doorway, Hu City slowly turned his head.

His eyes fell upon the Cold Plum standing proudly amidst the snow.

Its proud posture defies the frost.

"City Lord! The Jianghai disciples within the city have already gathered, all are waiting at the Demon Cave Gate." A disciple ran into the courtyard and knelt to report.

"All of them?"

"Except for the four guards of City Lord, everyone is here."

"Hmm." Hu City turned and walked towards the courtyard gate, his white robe fluttering vigorously, striding briskly.

At the same time, at the Divine Mountain of Beifeng.

Lu Ran was organizing forces to protect Deng Yuxiang as she advanced with the Divine Weapon, when suddenly he received a transmission from the Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd.

[Master, the little one has something to tell you~]

[Wang Hanchuan?]

[Yes, he said before Beifeng died, he sent a transmission, issuing some orders.]

Lu Ran slightly furrowed his brows, immediately searching for Jiang Ruyi's figure: [Wait a moment, I'll ask your mother to check with him.]

[Okay~]
