I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 181 - 50: Ruins of the Tufang Kingdom (2/3)

Chapter 181: Chapter 50: Ruins of the Tufang Kingdom (2/3)

Yunmeng Mountain, Feilai Peak.

When everything was over, Li Boyang and Xiluo returned to the Mountain God Temple.

"I’m indeed not a qualified Mountain Guardian..."

Transforming back to the form of a raccoon cat, Xiluo looked tearlessly at the fragmented Feilai Peak.

If it weren’t for Li Boyang’s divine power supporting it all along,

this mountain, which had long been in ruins, might have completely collapsed in the next second.

"Out with the old, in with the new!"

Glancing at the shattered Feilai Peak as well, Li Boyang seemed quite open-minded.

However, in this situation, the more open-minded Li Boyang acted, the angrier Xiluo became.

"If you don’t know what to say, don’t say anything. No one will think you’re mute if you don’t speak!"

"And to speak of it, I haven’t settled the score with you yet?"

"You’ve never left this Feilai Peak, why didn’t you show yourself from the start?"

"If you had revealed yourself from the beginning, I don’t believe that Guirong Clan could have turned into the Celestial Erosion Monarch!"

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang guiltily blinked his eyes.

After all, in a way, the current outcome was entirely within Li Boyang’s plan, presenting the best result he wished for.

The principle of securing internal stability before addressing external threats is simple enough.

Since confirming the reality of the great flood,

Li Boyang had been thinking about how to face this great flood and the series of disasters that would follow.

Especially when he calculated that the Celestial Erosion Monarch would soon unite Yin and Yang and reappear under the heavens,

Li Boyang made a decision—to first eliminate the enormous safety hazard that was Feilai Peak.

As mentioned before, he didn’t want to have to constantly be on guard against the Ghost God sealed in the Ghost God Cliff when he would have to manage water disasters and fight against the alien gods in the future.

To be honest, if he hadn’t known that Xiluo would never agree,

Li Boyang had considered finding an excuse to simply kill all those Ghost Gods, ending things once and for all.

Being benevolent to the mountain people and spirit monsters is one thing, but being decisive and ruthless is another.

If it came to the point where he had to harbor murderous intent, Li Boyang, who had Sword Heart Clarity, would definitely not be soft-hearted.

The current outcome is just as Li Boyang wished.

If those escaping Ghost Gods know what’s good for them, hiding quietly or outright fleeing from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, he’ll just pretend they don’t exist.

But if those Ghost Gods really aren’t afraid of death and continue to make trouble, Li Boyang won’t be as merciful as the Huai River Witch.

Surely at that point, even if Xiluo has objections, she probably won’t stop Li Boyang from killing those Ghost Gods, right?

As for sealing them again and waiting for some day they might repent?

Li Boyang is not that naïve.

In this era without laws, where no one enforces law on a group of gods...

Without corresponding labor reform policies and moral education, mere imprisonment would only let those Ghost Gods harbor resentment, leading to more brutal acts of revenge.

"Well..."

At this moment, the lid of the Prison Soul Tripod suddenly lifted.

A black dragon, transformed from Er Tu, peeked its head out from inside, looking at the still-furious Xiluo hesitantly.

"If you have something to say, say it. I won’t eat you!"

Still angry, Xiluo glared at Er Tu, but her tone softened considerably.

Clearly, Xiluo hadn’t realized the "sinister intentions" of Li Boyang’s plan; she simply believed he hadn’t foreseen these events.

"Actually, if you just want to repair Feilai Peak, we could find Kunwu."

"Just a while back, when the Rain Master took the opportunity to leave Ghost God Cliff with Kunwu, they specifically asked me to pass a message to you both..."

"If you need help, you can find them at the old site of the Tufang Kingdom."

...........................

The old site of the Tufang Kingdom is not within the bounds of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Traveling west from the Guifang Kingdom for about two or three hundred kilometers leads to what was once the capital of the Tufang Kingdom.

Ever since the Tufang Kingdom was obliterated, only some mountain people, spirit monsters, and wild gods have resided there year-round.

This isn’t because the Guifang Kingdom lacks the desire to bring this place under its rule.

The truth is the war thirty years ago was too brutal.

Even to this day, on this land of the Tufang Kingdom, one can still hear inexplicable wailing and howling.

That represents the unresolved grievances of the people of the Tufang Kingdom and the persistent will of the Tufang Clan continuously haunting this land...

Yes, although the Tufang Clan has been exalted by the Guifang Kingdom and revered as one of the Five Directions Gods.

In reality, the Tufang Clan’s true area of activity is confined to the territory of the Tufang Kingdom.

They only heed the call to leave the Tufang Kingdom and descend upon the battlefield when driven by the Heaven-Howling Clan.

Of course, the current situation is somewhat different.

With Xuan Hui, as the Sovereign of the Guifang Kingdom, ordering the release of the Tufang Clan,

the Tufang Clan, this terrifying Evil God merged with the grievances of the Tufang Kingdom’s populace, has truly been liberated.

The entire territory of the Tufang Kingdom seems to have been drawn into the Nether Domain, ceaselessly emitting a chilling cold qi.

And those Water Gods and spirit monsters attempting to traverse the Tufang Kingdom will be directly attacked by the Tufang Clan.

The fearsome Ghost God appears silently and vanishes just as quietly.

All creatures and deities slain by it transform into entities akin to earthbounds, wailing and lamenting, unable to leave the place of their demise.

With the rioting of those alien gods and spirit monsters subdued,

the floods and torrential rains in the territory of the Tufang Kingdom seem much more subdued.

At least, this territory has only floods and torrential rains, lacking the Water Gods and River Gods who ride on flood peaks to wreak havoc.

So, when Li Boyang and Xiluo arrived in the Tufang Kingdom, they witnessed such a chaotic and eerie scene.

"It’s just like an extension of the Underworld on earth..."

Li Boyang’s rare sigh made Xiluo shiver uncontrollably.

Unlike Li Boyang, who maintained his nonchalant demeanor throughout.

In the moment when the Lord of the Netherworld appeared, Xiluo was nearly scared out of her soul.

Seeing the Tufang Kingdom so similar to the Underworld now,

Xiluo felt a chill down her spine, a creeping fear rising in her heart.

"What exactly happened here thirty years ago?"

"Why didn’t the Lord of the Mansion bring the Tufang Clan back to the Netherworld back then?"

"Most importantly, why has this place become like this now? Why do I feel as if the Tufang Clan has regained freedom?"

"Where is it now? I feel like that old Rain Master is tricking us!"

Upon Xiluo’s questions, Li Boyang merely tossed the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor lightly.

"No need to speculate, the Tufang Clan has indeed regained freedom."

"Moreover, it’s currently headed to the Guifang Kingdom, engaging in a massacre."

These words startled Xiluo, who had been merely complaining, causing her to visibly shiver and look at Li Boyang in sheer disbelief.

"Don’t look at me like that, the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor told me."

"It seems something significant has happened in the Guifang Kingdom, significant enough to completely unleash a weapon of mass destruction like the Tufang Clan."

"But perhaps it’s for the best, at least no one would continue to covet Er Tu’s identity."

"As for the Rain Master?"

"The Rain Master wisely chose our side, and perhaps we’ll have some unexpected gains on this trip."

Gently comforting Xiluo with a smile, Li Boyang mused as he gazed in the direction of the Guifang Kingdom.

[Who exactly is this Water Ape?]

[It seems that to truly manage this flood, we must first deal with that Water Ape.]
