Chapter 195 The Celestials Retreat from the Flood, the Great Demon Provokes (13)

Yunmeng Mountain and Feilai Peak.

It has been three months since Li Boyang retrieved the Binding God Rope.

The originally fragmented Feilai Peak was successfully restored after that.

Through the cracks, golden rays of light faintly seeped out, binding the Flying Peaks together like super glue.

The golden light seeping from the cracks in the rocks is the Binding God Rope, which is rooted inside the entire Flying Peak.

Don't be fooled by the somewhat haphazard way the repair was done.

However, with the divine power of the Binding God Rope, the hardness of Feilai Peak has long surpassed that of ordinary mountain rocks.

In addition, the golden light that subtly enveloped the entire mountain made it appear both sacred and majestic.

Most importantly, unlike other places in the Hundred Mountains, Feilai Peak has never been shrouded in storms, presenting a sense of being isolated from the world.

Especially the top of the Ghost God Cliff at the highest point of Feilai Peak.

Although the rebuilt altar no longer enshrines statues of gods, it exudes an even more powerful aura than before.

Standing in the very center, Li Boyang continued to stir up trouble.

Time and again, it kept the raging storms that were trying to sweep across the entire mountain range at bay.

In Li Boyang's hands, the spell 【Commanding Clouds and Spreading Rain】 has already demonstrated power far exceeding its limits.

"I told you long ago, you're just wasting your time."

Quietly perched on a nearby tree, Xi Luo frowned and offered another word of advice.

This flood was an inevitable consequence of the natural order.

All Li Boyang could do on his own was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Not to mention the ghosts and spirits that come with the gales and torrential rains; the destruction they cause is far more terrifying than any flood.

"How could it be a waste of effort?"

"At least this flood hasn't swept through the mountains yet, has it?"

What Li Boyang said is true; if it weren't for his continuous manipulation of clouds and rain and alteration of celestial phenomena during this period...

The drizzle that once fell over the mountains is no longer the same as it is now.

The storm that Qiwa and his friends are currently experiencing should be a common phenomenon in the Hundred Mountains.

"You know that's not what I'm talking about..."

"You can withstand the onslaught of gales and torrential rain, but can you withstand the water gods that follow?"

"They are the core of this great flood crisis; they have been fueling it all along."

After a slight pause, Xi Luo continued speaking.

"Besides, don't tell me you didn't realize it..."

"Winter is over now, but the temperature shows no sign of rising."

"If spring doesn't return to the earth, what good is it if you block the flood?"

"The mountain people still have no land to cultivate and no food to eat. You simply cannot save so many people!"

For some reason, Xi Luo knew from the beginning that Li Boyang had such a stubborn personality.

But when things actually reached this point, she still couldn't control her temper.

In a daze, Xi Luo seemed to see the Huaijiang witch from a thousand years ago again, and saw her tragic end when she was eventually eaten by her tribe.

Xi Luo didn't want Li Boyang to end up like the witch of Huaijiang.

Even from a higher perspective, Xi Luo's idea seems selfish, but she is certainly not the kind of fearless saint.

If it weren't for seeing the shadow of his sister in Li Boyang...

Xi Luo is probably still huddled in the mountain god temple on Feilai Peak, oblivious to what is happening in the outside world.

"You're right, what I'm doing now is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause."

As if he hadn't understood Xi Luo's meaning at all, Li Boyang simply smiled. "So, if we want to address the root cause, we ultimately have to rely on Wuzhiqi..."

My gaze travels beyond Feilai Peak, beyond Yunmeng Mountain, and even beyond the entire Hundred Mountains Range...

Li Boyang's third eye between his eyebrows saw the present-day Guifang Kingdom—a kingdom that had been ravaged beyond recognition by Wuzhiqi.

At this moment, the Ghost Kingdom had already been transformed into a vast swamp.

Of the five gods, all except Tun Chaoshi have disappeared.

Amidst the waves stirred up by the Tide-Swallowing Clan, the water gods laughed, the fish and shrimp revelled, and as far as the eye could see, there was no trace of humankind.

However, the Tunchao clan was not the true ruler of this marshland.

At the ancestral temple site of the Ghost Fang Kingdom, on the altar that originally housed the Five Gods.

Wuzhiqi, with his white hair and green body, sat high on it.

His face was full of tyranny and mockery, making it easy to see his tyrannical nature at a glance.

Suddenly, as if sensing Li Boyang's spying, Wuzhiqi abruptly looked up towards the direction of the Hundred Mountains.

[A celestial being?]

He deliberately opened his mouth wide and made mouth shapes that Li Boyang could recognize.

The tyranny and mockery on Wuzhiqi's face vanished in an instant, replaced by a wariness mixed with curiosity.

At the same time, Wuzhiqi's ears twitched slightly, as if he were listening intently to something.

“Can you hear me?”

Unconsciously raising his eyebrows, Li Boyang murmured something under Xi Luo's astonished gaze.

The next second, a bright smile appeared on Wuzhiqi's face, and the shape of his mouth changed accordingly.

Of course, there's no sound I can't hear across this vast land of Kyushu.

Regardless of the credibility of Wuzhiqi's words, Li Boyang engaged in a lively conversation with him from afar.

"The supernatural ability to hear everything? That's quite rare."

"Since you can hear my voice, you should know what I'm about to say, right?"

"You have your three sons attack the Hundred Mountains from three directions..."

“Now that one of the routes has been driven back by the mountain people, aren’t you worried that the remaining two routes will also be driven back?”

Upon hearing this, Wuzhiqi's smile became even brighter, and a hint of arrogance even crept into his expression.

They only defeated my most useless youngest son...

My two remaining sons are not as weak as you think.

Besides, as long as we can force you to take action personally, what does it matter if all three attempts fail?

Wuzhiqi's mouth shape was still clearly discernible, causing Li Boyang to frown.

"Your ultimate goal is to fight me?"

With a hint of surprise, Li Boyang's voice reached Wuzhiqi's ears.

That's just one of your goals; after all, isn't your ultimate goal to defeat me?

Your interpretation of the 'Way of Heaven and Man' is very interesting, but it's not complete yet...

Only by personally verifying your abilities can I determine whether it's the right path.

This is a game of chess, a grand game played by you and me...

You've won. I'll voluntarily withdraw my waters and bypass your hundreds of mountains and valleys. What harm is there in that?

But if I win, everything you have will be mine!
