Chapter 920: Chapter 924 Tragedy in the Semi-Desert

Chapter 920 -924 Tragedy in the Semi-Desert

Deity Official Ma Yi had already been holding a large handful of Monster Seeking Powder in his hand.

The Monster Seeking Powder, a low-level auxiliary item, was actually useless against monsters of the Mysterious Ancient Level, but its stickiness was strong. There was no hope that it would glow and guide them to the Ancient Yao like a phantom mist, but it could be used as an ordinary colored powder. Just a direct throw onto the body of the Yin Spirit Green Baboon would do the trick!

The brown powder fell through the air and rapidly outlined the form of the Yin Spirit Green Baboon, which realized it had been tricked and immediately turned to run. However, the doors to the Stone Temple had already been sealed by the Nuwa Dragon, and it crashed right into the Nuwa Dragon’s stone door array, causing two souls to fly out from its body.

The two souls belonged to the Winter God and Zhu Minglang, respectively. After being knocked out from suction, they quickly flew back to their original owners.

The Winter God was also stunned.

Had he always been missing something all this time?

It was one of the seven souls, which explained why he always felt exceptionally irritable and restless, with an inexplicable shortness of breath.

Zhu Minglang was also astonished.

In such a short time, the Yin Spirit Green Baboon had already hooked away one of his souls, just during the brief moment when his Divine Sense let down its guard.

What an outrageous ability!

Moreover, by utilizing this one soul, the Yin Spirit Green Baboon could transform into the real person, thereby creating even more chaos.

The Goddess Qiuci finally realized as well.

She had been deceived by this Yin Spirit Green Baboon!

She was extremely angered and conjured a huge fan in her hand, slashing a fierce Wind God Slash towards the Yin Spirit Green Baboon!

As the wind slashed, the Yin Spirit Green Baboon was split in two, clearly visible through the sticking Monster Seeking Powder on its body.

At the same time, everyone saw the body of the Yin Spirit Green Baboon quickly rejoining itself and frantically colliding within the Stone Temple, looking for a small exit…

“This guy is a Yin Spirit, ordinary spells can’t harm it,” said Deity Official Ma Yi, who was clearly an expert in this field, to everyone.

This time, Zhu Minglang did not release the Night Empress because in terms of cultivation base, the Yin Spirit Green Baboon was still a notch higher than her, and in a one-on-one fight, the Night Empress might not be its match.

In this situation, only the Nuwa Dragon could deal with it.

“I have a Magic Artifact that can hurt it!” said the Winter God at this moment.

The humiliation of having his soul snatched away made the Winter God furious. He took out a piece of Soul Ink from his cosmos sack and began grinding it slowly on the palm of his hand as an inkstone.

Soon, black ink spilled onto his palm, turning it a dark color.

He struck out with his palm, and an inkstone-shaped object suddenly fell, hitting the wildly scurrying Yin Spirit Green Baboon hard, pressing it down so that it could hardly get up and was constantly howling.

The Winter God continued to grind the Soul Ink on his palm, a process that seemed more like torturing the Yin Spirit Green Baboon. Its ethereal body could be seen gradually being ground into juice.

Grinding soul and soul.

The Winter God’s Magic Artifact was quite effective, and the Yin Spirit Green Baboon struggled madly.

But its ethereal body was being ground away and was gradually merging with the divinely powerful ink.

The ink slightly shimmered with a green tint. The Yin Spirit Green Baboon did not seem utterly dead, but its ghostly soul was evidently sealed within the ink. Unless favored by exceptional fortune, it would be difficult for it to cause any more trouble.

“What kind of Magic Artifact is this? It’s quite unique, isn’t it?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Divine Grinding Inkstone. It’s a treasure of a calligraphy and painting deity from Tianxuan. He is advanced in years and gave it to me,” said the Winter God with a smile on his face.

This mission had finally allowed him to exert his role as a True God. The Winter God’s face naturally shone, mainly because he had not expected that one of his souls had been snatched away. If he could not retrieve it, he would more easily reach a bottleneck on the path of cultivation in the future and risk falling into madness.

“A fine thing, it’s truly a fine thing,” Zhu Minglang said.

“After grinding these Yin Spirits into Soul Ink for writing and painting, the power is greatly increased. It’s a pity I am not a deity of that kind,” said the Winter God.

“This object is for sale, I want to give it as a gift,” said Zhu Minglang.

“Zhu Shou Zun, what are you talking about? If you like it, I will give it to you. If it weren’t for you leading the team and solving our predicament, we deities would have probably perished, and even if we didn’t fall, it is doubtful we would see our forms on the path to becoming immortals,” the Winter God replied.

“Then thank you!” Zhu Minglang accepted the treasure and asked the Winter God to teach him how to use it.

“This Ancient Yao seems very difficult to kill. For now, we can only grind its Yin Spirit into ink and seal it within this inkstone,” the Winter God said.

Zhu Minglang nodded in agreement.

Using ink made from the ground Yin Spirit of Mysterious Ancient Level creatures for painting would undoubtedly enhance Nan Lingsha’s strength significantly.

This thing, when the time comes, could be a perfect gift for her… Oh, she is here, giving it to Nan Yuso would be just as good.

…

After all, the Yin Spirit Green Baboon was not at the same level as the Xie Zheng, and as a creature that primarily sowed confusion among humans, its own combat strength was not particularly formidable.

By count, he had dealt with a total of three mysterious ancient species, and he was unsure if that qualified him among the ranks of the gods.

The mysterious ancient species were not like those little demons causing chaos in the Lower Realm, dealing with even one was not an easy feat.

When the dark sand storm finally subsided, everyone traveled overnight back to the Half Desert Giant City.

The Half Desert City was shrouded in a thick night fog, the damp rain beating wildly against this desert city.

However, as they approached, a few horrifying scenes came into view for Zhu Minglang and his party. On the western side of the Half Desert City, near an oasis lake, countless residential buildings had turned into ruins. The streets were full of muddy rainwater mixed with blood; under the rubble lay many bodies…

Beneath collapsed mud walls lay an entire family, among the rubble of shattered homes were scattered limbs, and some people who were gnawed halfway and barely alive crawled in the rain…

Such scenes filled the oasis lake district of the Half Desert City, with thousands of residents living as if in hell itself!

The Goddess Qiuci, the Winter God, Deity Official Yaoguang, and several other deities were stunned!

“How is this possible, we clearly had all the stone altars revived, and the divine blessing power had taken effect. Even if we were late in fixing the situation during the earlier half of the night and some monsters entered the city, weren’t the people from the Immortal’s House already back… How could so many people die, how could so many people die!” The Goddess Qiuci was in utter panic, unable to look directly at this bloody scene.

“Did you instruct him to return and guard the city?” Zhu Minglang’s face had also changed as he seriously questioned Qiuci.

“Of course, I told him. When we set off for the Third Stone Altar Island, I told him to return and temporarily stand guard in the city first. Where is Su Chun, where is Su Chun??” Goddess Qiuci’s face turned pale.

“He did not believe that we could revive the third stone altar and was worried that his merit would be affected by this. He left overnight. With not many True Gods sitting in the city, it still fell to this disaster… This Su Chun, he is truly a beast!” Anger surged in Zhu Minglang’s heart.

Zhu Minglang had not expected things to turn out this way.

It was mainly Su Chun’s behavior that was infuriating.

If he did not want to go to the Third Stone Altar Island, that could be forgiven, but if they had returned to the Half Desert City first and stood guard for a while, this tragic scene at the oasis lake district surely would not have happened. It was obviously an invasion by little demons, not the Ancient Yao or the Night Emperor. With Su Chun and their strength, even their mere presence in the city would have deterred the little demons from coming in…

But they just left.

As soon as things went awry, they wanted nothing to do with it, fearing the slightest impact on their path to immortality.

And their unilateral and selfish actions led the residents of this city district to suffer the massacre of the Monster Group…

Although the little demons were likely driven out by the leaders and Loose Immortals left behind, more than ten thousand civilians had perished in the tragedy!

“How could he do this, how could he do this…” The Goddess Qiuci was soulless.

She had never imagined it would come to this.

Even if she hadn’t turned to Su Chun for help and had just defended the city herself, it surely wouldn’t have resulted in so many deaths.

Granted, she had made many mistakes, but she also tried her best to remedy them, risking her life to go to the Third Stone Altar Island, only to end up with such a result.

Why leave directly.

Why leave directly.

Su Chun was her betrothed, wouldn’t he share even this bit of hardship with her, would he abandon her without hesitation if she encountered trouble!

“Heavenly Slaughter Dragon, Yama Dragon, follow the scent and find all the little demons that infiltrated and slaughtered, kill them all!” Zhu Minglang was enraged, summoning two great dragons of the night, gaze fixated on a dark vortex in the night and a rain nest in the desert!

“What are you going to do?” Goddess Qiuci saw Zhu Minglang leaving the city and hastily grabbed him to ask.

“For every ten thousand civilians they slaughtered, I will kill ten times as many of their demon race!” With that, Zhu Minglang was already riding the Yama Dragon out of the city.

Goddess Qiuci stood agape, watching Zhu Minglang’s retreating figure and vaguely saw several Divine Dragons materialize beside him, radiant with crimson and moon-white light, all emitting a mysterious and powerful aura!

“Zhu Shou Zun is going out of the city alone?” The Winter God exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes… he is seeking vengeance for the civilians of the Half Desert City.”

“But doing this brings no merit at all, on the contrary, he might be ambushed by a horde of demons. It’s the latter half of the night now…” The Winter God said incredulously.

“Perhaps Zhu Shou Zun is different from us,” said Deity Official Ma Yi.

Everyone went silent; not all deities sought only to ascend the ladder to immortality. While their actions indeed brought no merit or virtue, at least they could secure peace for the inhabitants of the other city districts of the Half Desert City and allow those who had survived and their offspring to have a more tranquil environment to live in.

“So, what should we do?” asked the Winter God.

“First, we need to comfort the civilians. Everyone, don’t be stingy with your Divine Pills and Wonderful Drugs. The fault lies with me this time. I hope you all can help save more of the injured, I will compensate you,” Qiuci beseeched.

“Qiuci, don’t be so hard on yourself. If we hadn’t revived the stone altars, perhaps hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Half Desert City would have died. We still did what we had to,” soothed the Winter God.

What had happened had happened; they did not possess the power to bring the dead back to life.

On the bright side, at least the Half Desert Giant City would be safe for several months in the nights to come, and the hundreds of thousands of civilians in the other districts were still unharmed…

Still, they couldn’t help but feel a bit resentful.

They had the chance to ensure the safety of the entire city, and reviving the three stone altars could protect the civilians near the Half Desert Ocean for a long time. The tragic death of these ten thousand civilians was purely due to someone’s selfishness and indifference!
