"The essence blood, Primordial Pill, and essence spirit of our Divine Beast clan are still very popular!"
On Phoenix Nest Mountain, the Phoenix Spirit spoke jokingly, but a sharp glint appeared in her eyes.
At this moment, in the divine gaze of the Phoenix Spirit, the demon qi along the banks of Bai Shui appeared intermittently.
Among them were some cultivators with profound Dao practice.
These cultivators had long calculated the timing of the Bai Shui Dragon Monarch’s millennium Divine Dao calamity.
The flesh, Dragon Pearl, and Dragon Soul of a Flood Dragon once on the verge of transforming into a True Dragon were rare treasures.
However, the Phoenix Spirit’s expression remained unchanged; seizing a bargain like this would not be easy.
Lady Honghua stepped forward, the distant Bai Shui roared.
Her gaze could also see, as the Three-Nine Thunder Tribulation was about to end, the essence, qi, and spirit of the White Flood Dragon began to fall, revealing many profound and obscure demon qis, eager to move.
Yet Lady Honghua remained composed, for Zhang Jian had already made arrangements for this matter.
Bai Liying had returned from the True Dragon Daoist School to Bai Shui in advance to make arrangements, and at this moment, must have brought in strong reinforcements, though their whereabouts were unknown.
Lady Honghua’s gaze turned toward the depth of Bai Shui.
She guessed correctly that in the Zhang Family’s Small Villa beneath Dragon-locking Dam, Bai Liying and an elder in white robes stood before a pool, the white-robed elder gazing afar at the White Flood Dragon above, and said with a smile.
"Junior Brother Bai has extraordinary Dao practice; even under such circumstances, he can withstand the Three-Nine Divine Dao calamity. After this calamity, the sky’s high enough for birds to fly freely, and the sea’s wide enough for fish to leap around. There’s a certain future for him to transform into a dragon!"
"Uncle, you’re too kind. Everything that follows relies on your intervention to deter those demons!"
Bai Liying’s jade-like face showed respect, though she was still somewhat worried.
This white-robed elder is none other than the Canal Dragon Monarch.
The Canal Dragon Monarch laughed heartily upon hearing this and said, "Niece Bai, there’s no need to be so polite. Rest assured, with my presence, I will certainly not allow others to ruin the Dao skill of Junior Brother Bai!"
He patted his chest, making a promise.
The Canal Dragon Monarch is of the Red Dragon body, though not a True Dragon, just a Coiling Dragon, but still a Dragon Body whose Dao practice far surpasses that of an ordinary Yin Spirit Venerable.
Upon hearing this, Bai Liying’s gaze flickered, and she nodded slightly.
Yet a hint of oddity lurked in her eyes, for she knew this Canal Dragon Monarch was not as generous as he appeared.
At this moment, as the final powerful Heart-Burning Thunder vanished, the roar of the White Flood Dragon resonated in all directions. Emerging from the dark clouds, countless dragon scales falling away, the White Flood Dragon flew towards Bai Shui.
Its Dragon Body was long and slender, but at this moment, its aura plummeted to its lowest point!
Just as the White Flood Dragon hit the ground, countless dark demon presences in the void eagerly prepared to emerge, when suddenly a stream of divine light pierced through the void, the bright golden light tearing open the dark clouds, instantly capturing the gaze of all present gods.
Deep within the Bai Shui Divine Department, Bai Nu also sensed the stream of divine light surging from the void, his eyes widening in surprise, just as he intended to rise and drive it away, a cold, resonant voice emerged from within that divine light.
"Bai Shui Dragon Monarch, have no fear, for I am Rao Qing, the County City God Temple of Shanyang County, ordered to come and serve as protector for the Dragon Monarch. I ask all gods to retreat!"
Emerging amidst the divine light was a solemn, dignified figure, crowned with a high crown and broad band.
The County City God Temple of Shanyang County, this was a Fourth-Grade City God with Dao practice not inferior to Fengyang City God, also a deity within the Yin Spirit Realm.
Various gods and numerous demons stared in surprise at this City God of Shanyang County who suddenly manifested his divine body; many demons and cultivators paused in their actions.
"May I ask under whose highness’s command the esteemed god acts, I am truly grateful!"
Within the depths of Bai Shui, came the cheerful voice of Bai Nu, and Rao Qing, enveloped in divine light, replied with a smile.
"No problem! I am here under the order of the City God King to lend a hand to the Dragon Monarch, you just focus on recovering from your wounds, leave the surroundings of Bai Shui to us!"
Deep within Bai Shui, Bai Nu’s eyes showed some surprise.
In Daqian, there is only one City God King, who is Haojing City God, Wei Fang. But he had no connection with Wei Fang?
However, he did not doubt the opponent.
The Divine Dao’s rules were strict, and without the decree of High-tier Gods, ordinary gods would not lightly overstep their own Divine Dao Divine Department, as such actions were dangerous and could easily lead to reprimand from superiors.
With Rao Qing’s words, his gaze swept around as he smiled.
"Esteemed Daoist friends, if you don’t reveal your true forms now, then when?!"
As he spoke, several streams of divine light emerged from the mountains.
At this moment, hearty voices resounded!
"I, Tao Shanhe, the City God of Jixian County, ordered by the City God King, have come to protect the Bai Shui Dragon Monarch!"
"I, the City God of Jiulian County, ordered by the City God King, am here to lend Brother Bai a hand! I dare anyone to make a move against the True God of the Sheji Divine Dao?"
...
One after another, majestic City Gods manifesting their divine light appeared, all uniformly Fourth-Grade City Gods. These seven or eight City Gods, from the Southern Provinces, their divine power vast and overwhelming, each followed by banners waving as seven or eight squads of Divine Dao Yin Soldiers and Yin Generals emerged, presenting a grand spectacle.
Across the landscape, numerous demons and cultivators found their expressions changed, many demons sensing the unfavorable situation, promptly hid their energies and began retreating silently.
Even knowing the Bai Shui Dragon Monarch might be at his weakest, the presence of so many City Gods offering aid made it clear they wouldn’t be able to take advantage; those who didn’t retreat might risk losing their lives.
Even the local deities showed some surprise, however, Fengyang County City God Chen Qingyuan also manifested his true form, floating before the gods, his expression calm, without surprise, indicating he had received the decree earlier.
