I am a living immortal.

In the City God's Temple.

It has been raining for the past few days, and many people are praying for the rain to stop.

The heavy rain did not cleanse the old City God Temple, but instead covered it with a veil. Many people felt inexplicably uneasy when they looked up.

It was hazy outside the temple.

The same is true inside the temple. The smoke from the incense sticks seems to be locked inside the door and cannot dissipate at all. The rich sandalwood continues to accumulate and becomes strange and pungent.

The temple is small and looks crowded.

There were many people in the temple, but their faces could not be seen clearly. They came and went. The smoke from the incense blocked the plaque above the shrine. No one knew what was written on the plaque.

The temple keeper was cleaning as usual, but today he found gold fragments and stone chips on the ground, which really scared him. Without caring about anything else, the temple keeper wanted to go forward and check.

When he looked up, he seemed to see the statue clearly that was blocked by the smoke.

The statue's eyes were wide open from top to bottom. The temple keeper was distracted by the sight of it. He felt dizzy and drowsy, and the people around him continued to come and go as if he hadn't noticed them.

When through the smoke.

The statue of the City God is no longer the same as before. It has become extremely strange, with a fallen golden body, a strange expression, and a broken body covered with rolling black slime. It is neither a god nor a demon, and is extremely terrifying.

The temple keeper was just like the pilgrims, cleaning mechanically and leaving mechanically.

The statue laughed.

Then golden light shot up into the sky.

A roar of anger resounded through the heavens and earth: "Evil beasts! How dare you be so presumptuous..."

The golden Dharma image is solemn and dignified.

"May I ask the City God, what have we done wrong?"

Several black dragons calmed down and asked.

"I dare to ask, this incessant rain has made the people of the entire county miserable. The indiscriminate use of clouds and rain has caused the river to overflow its banks and the wheat and rice to nearly wither. Are you at fault?!"

"Until I take action, the rain will not fall!"

"you……"

Indeed, even though they had stopped, they were still going down, and they could not refute this.

But it would never involve such a large-scale mobilization.

The City God continued, "If I don't teach you a lesson this time, you won't take it seriously! You're asking questions even though you already know the answer, so you should be punished."

As he spoke, he reached out to grab the black dragons.

What the City God said was correct, but none of this happened. How could they be willing to be judged by something that was about to happen but didn't happen?

"You are going too far!!!"

"Roar~~"

Several black dragons immediately attracted wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and fought back fiercely. Amidst the lightning and thunder, the rain that should have stopped started falling again, even heavier and more violently.

When the City God saw this, a strange smile appeared on his face.

That's how it should be, that's how it should be, let the rain fall heavier and heavier, and then you will be responsible for all the right and wrong.

The thunder exploded, and golden light was mixed in the dark clouds.

Su Mu seemed to have a feeling: "No, those dragons have clearly restrained their water energy, why did the City God still take action?"

A thought came to my mind, and I wondered why this devil was so confident.

It turns out there’s a back-up plan here.

The city god of an entire place could actually be polluted. This devil is so evil. He grasped the timing perfectly and had the right reasons. Everything was reasonable and logical, and there was nothing to criticize.

These dragons are really brainless.

Just because it hasn't happened now doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. He just took action after being provoked. He deserves to be fooled around by a demon. He can't even control his temper, so how can he be the leader of all the scales!

If it really happens, the fake will become real, and these dragons will definitely be blamed for it.

And Su Mu was also taken into account.

If he took action, not only would he suffer a loss on the part of the dragon clan, but if anything happened later, he would also be held responsible.

"Okay, okay! This is everything calculated."

"This devil really has good timing and tricks."

"You calculated that I wouldn't take action, but today I won't do what you wish. I'm going to fight the City God and those dragons together!"

"Everyone, wake up!!!"

Su Mu took a step forward and directly collapsed half of the sky.

The City God and the Black Dragon, who were originally fighting in the sky, suddenly felt endless pressure.

Several black dragons screamed a few times and were stepped on the ground. No matter how they moved, they did not move at all. The dragon clan was irritable and arrogant. How could they restrain themselves now that they were stepped on? The dragon roars were heard towards the sky.

Instead, he was crushed by Su Mu.

Su Mu ignored the impotent rage of the dragons and turned to look at the City God.

The City God said with a grim expression, "Is the Immortal Venerable planning to use his own power to do evil?"

A big hat was put on first.

"Hmph, I have no intention of engaging in verbal disputes with you today. Now that I've taken action, I know your true nature. No one can escape today!"

"Here comes the sword!!!"

Su Mu stretched out his hand, and with a "hum" sound, heaven and earth resonated, and a broken sword appeared in his hand at some point.

A sword strikes out!!

"Since I cannot protect the people, I cannot protect my original intention."

"Today, let me teach you what Qingming means with my sword."

"A sword in the vastness reveals clarity, like a mirror reflecting the heart of the devil."

"Don't wake up yet!!"

Looking at the sword light that stretched for thousands of miles, it was like a mirror standing between heaven and earth. The City God in the mirror was filled with wriggling black under his golden body, dark and unclear. Seeing the truth, even his appearance had changed. Half of it was the golden color representing the Shinto, and the other half was a bloated and festering demon body.

"This this……"

A look of struggle appeared in the City God's eyes.

"No!! No!!" the devil continued to rage.

His eyes were filled with resentment: "Why are you meddling in other people's business? This is clearly none of your business. Why are you doing this? Die, all of you!!"

A dull, sharp sound, like the tip of a knife scratching metal.

The demonic half of the City God moved, and he attacked fiercely. Facing this sword, he almost used up all his strength. The burning demonic nature continued to erode the City God's clarity of mind, like a small boat that could be swallowed by the raging waves at any time.

But no matter how powerful the evil spirit is, it cannot extinguish that trace of clarity.

The other half of the body faced the sword calmly.

"Move! Move! Damn it, damn it!!"

The other half of his body remained indifferent.

Then, the sword fell.

Under the endless sword light, half of the demon's body turned into ashes and disappeared between heaven and earth with screams.

The disappearance of half of his body still dealt a heavy blow to the City God.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for exorcising the demon." The figure of the City God dimmed, and the last trace of clarity dissipated between heaven and earth. The golden body turned into a spot of light and sank into the City God statue. His consciousness had already dissipated, but this half of his body would turn into nutrients for new life, waiting for the birth of the new City God.

Regardless of whether he is reborn or replaced, this City God will no longer be the same City God as before.

Su Mu retracted the sword.

The sky and the earth cleared up, and the dark clouds and rain dispersed together.

The black dragons that he had stepped on were stunned for a long time, no longer able to roar as before...
