Rebirth of the Siberian Tiger: The younger sister is actually the reincarnation of the empress!

Chapter 373: She's just a willow demon, does she really think she's a guardian deity?

In a secluded courtyard in Dongcheng District.

The Willow Goddess's true form is lush and verdant, now over three zhang tall, entirely made of jade, crystal clear, radiating a dazzling green light.

One by one, lush green willow branches fell from the trunk, swaying in the wind, their jade-green leaves rubbing against each other, producing melodious and enchanting sounds.

A ring of cyan light enveloped the entire tree, radiating endless brilliance.

At this moment, Liu Shen, whose consciousness was immersed in her body, was constantly concentrating on her cultivation, continuously practicing her techniques, absorbing the power of the earth veins buried deep underground, as well as the spiritual energy from all directions, making the entire courtyard filled with spiritual energy.

Whoosh whoosh~
Just then, a series of whooshing sounds came, and a flash of inspiration appeared. Xuan Yuan and the others, along with Dean Lin, quickly landed in the courtyard.

Xuan Yuan and the other three stared at the tall willow tree with indifferent eyes. What threat could a mere willow tree pose if it couldn't even be moved?
If they dare to resist, we will uproot them!
Immersed in cultivation, Liu Shen immediately awoke upon sensing the changes in the outside world. A cloud of green mist burst forth from the tall willow tree, its light shimmering, and Liu Shen's true form materialized.

Liu Shen glanced at Dean Lin, whose face was full of bitterness in the crowd, and frowned, knowing that the newcomers were up to no good.

Immediately, Liu Shen turned his gaze to these uninvited guests and said calmly, "What brings you fellow Daoists to my secluded place of cultivation?"

Upon hearing this, the four remained silent and instead turned their gaze to Dean Lin in the middle.

Dean Lin understood, sighed inwardly, and slowly walked out, explaining, "Goddess Liu, it's like this. A few days ago, the Daoist disciple of the Great Heavenly Dao Sect visited, wanting the Heavenly Dao Sect to become the state religion of the Dragon Kingdom. The Heavenly Dao Sect promised to provide the Dragon Kingdom with protection."

At the time... I didn't think things through enough, and I agreed without thinking, and I had already announced it to the outside world.

However, the other major sects felt this was inappropriate and should immediately revoke the title of state religion and establish themselves as the state religion, with only one of them being the state religion... However, the elders promised many benefits in exchange for the sects behind them being established as the state religion!

This matter is of great importance, and I dare not act on my own initiative; therefore, I have come to consult the Willow God!

"State religion?"

Liu Shen narrowed her eyes slightly. After listening to Dean Lin's explanation, she roughly understood what had happened.

Currently, all these sects want to become the state religion of the Dragon Kingdom, but there is only one spot available, meaning that only one sect among them can become the state religion.

But they didn't want to clash with each other, so they forced the Dragon Kingdom to play the bad guy and make a choice among them.

In this situation, no matter which one the Dragon Kingdom chooses, it will offend the other three, and will also greatly offend the Heavenly Dao Sect.

After all, these were promises made. If the Dragon Kingdom dares to go back on its word, where will the Heavenly Dao Sect's face be?
Most importantly, even if this sect is chosen as the state religion, it remains to be seen whether it will help the Dragon Kingdom withstand pressure from all sides.

Perhaps after they seize the title of state religion, they will abandon the Dragon Kingdom.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Shen continued calmly, "I will not interfere in the matter of the state religion. You major sects can make the decision. I don't care who becomes the state religion, as long as they do not harm the Dragon Kingdom. I only care about the survival of the Dragon Kingdom!"

"Please leave, everyone!"

Liu Shen looked at everyone and waved her hand.

Immediately, Xuan Yuan and the others' faces darkened.

This Willow God is nothing but a wild demon, yet she dares to put on airs with them. Does she really think she's some kind of guardian deity of the Dragon Kingdom?
Compared to the sects behind them, Liu Shen was nothing more than an ant.

"Hahaha, what a Liu Shen! You really don't know what's good for you. I, this elder, came to see you out of respect, but now it seems I was wrong. A mere tree demon dares to be so presumptuous. Today, if you don't select the state religion from our sect, I, this elder, will uproot you and leave you to die in the scorching sun!"

Elder Xuan Yuan burst into laughter, his tone filled with disdain, and his body emanated a chilling sword intent as he threatened Liu Shen.

This Willow God's cultivation level is probably similar to that of Thunder Tiger King. None of the elders who came this time are below the eighth level. With such strength, let alone Willow God, even if Thunder Tiger King came, he would be beaten to death.

"Amitabha Buddha, Fellow Daoist Liu Shen, please heed my advice: quickly choose one of our sects as the state religion, otherwise, something unspeakable may happen next."

Fellow Daoist Liu Shen, your growth to this point has truly been hard-won. You must not ruin your bright future because of a single wrong thought.

Elder Rongku slowly stepped forward, his face filled with compassion, and gently offered his advice.

"If you all want to become the state religion, then just have a proper competition. The sect behind the winner will become the state religion. Why make things difficult for me?"

Liu Shen's expression turned cold, and she spoke in a hard voice.

These guys are truly shameless; they even try to intimidate others with their power.

"Hehe, I'll give you face and call you God of Willows. If I didn't, you'd just be a willow demon!"
The demon race has wreaked havoc on the world and killed countless humans. As a demon, the fact that you can remain safely in the capital is already a sign of respect from all the major powers.

Now they're making excuses for even our small request, they're simply not taking our ancient sects seriously.

If you don't speak up, my Heavenly Demon Sect will kill you, you wicked demon!

Elder Youyuan of the Heavenly Demon Sect, his body shrouded in demonic energy, sneered, his eyes filled with mockery and disdain.

If it weren't for the protection of the Dragon Kingdom, and the excellent reputation Liu Shen had left behind for protecting the people of the Dragon Kingdom, how could this seemingly promising demon have stayed in the capital to cultivate so peacefully?

"What's the point of a competition? Our ancient sects are so noble, why would we fight each other over a small position as the state religion?"

It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.

"Now, I advise you to immediately choose a sect affiliated with the state religion, otherwise, the Thousand Autumn Wood Spirit Pill I wish to refine is missing a precious piece of wood core."

The elder of the Qingyun Sect of the Chunyuan Immortal Sect looked at Liu Shen with some fervor, for she was a wood demon, and the wood core within her body was a perfect match.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard was very tense. Xuan Yuan and the others, representing the four major sects behind them, threatened Liu Shen.

Dean Lin, caught in the middle, was extremely anxious, but at the moment, he was at a loss.

"I have already said that I will not interfere in the matter of the state religion; you are to decide for yourselves."

I don't want to repeat myself a third time. You may leave now, or you will face the consequences!

Despite the oppressive aura emanating from the four men, Liu Shen remained unfazed, staring at them and issuing a cold warning.

As she spoke, Liu Shen's aura suddenly surged forth, sweeping in all directions and exuding a dangerous aura.
