Chapter 75 The Follow-Up Accountability (Please continue reading)
"Bang~!"

A sharp crack suddenly rang out from the council hall of the city lord's mansion!
The maid waiting outside the door shivered, not understanding what had caused the city lord to be so furious.

She dared not enter at this moment, fearing she might offend the city lord, and appeared somewhat apprehensive.

Zhu Sihai was indeed very angry, one could even say he was furious.

Just now, while he was keeping an eye on the Martial God's Dharma body, he suddenly noticed that the Martial God had made a move. He thought that the Cui Family Village outside the city had driven the group of gods into a desperate situation and that the Martial God was about to come to their aid!
Just as a look of joy appeared on his face, he heard the Martial God's words, "A triumphant return from conquering the stronghold and destroying the village! Congratulations to the High Priest!"

The larks scattered throughout the Five Directions City then conveyed the scene of the people celebrating, and Zhu Sihai was instantly on the verge of exploding.

Upon seeing Li Wushou riding in the Martial God's carriage, Zhu Sihai could no longer contain himself and smashed the teacup in his hand to pieces!
He had instructed the Tree Goddess to devour everyone in the Cui Family Village, and even offered a high price to summon the Tree Goddess's original soul fragment.

With the opponent's Hundred Infant Dharma Realm, even if the Martial God Official is trapped inside, as long as he gets through his period of lucidity, we should be able to easily trap him!

Now look what's happened. The Martial God didn't even move, didn't even leave the Five Directions City, and Li Wushou is already swaggering back with the River God's corpse.

If it weren't for seeing that fish tail, Zhu Sihai would have thought the River God had conspired with the other party to fake it!

So what's the situation now? Has the Tree Goddess turned against us? Is she taking the money but not doing her job?
Zhu Sihai's eyes were filled with murderous intent; he was afraid that you might have the life to take it, but not the life to spend it!
Just then, Zhu Sihai's mind stirred, the killing intent in his eyes faded, and he slightly raised his head to look at the sky.

"These useless fools not only failed to force out the Martial God, but even Li Wushou and his group of minor gods returned unscathed. You..."

"The sparrow I left in the divided souls of the River God and the Tree Goddess has also vanished!"

Zhu Sihai wanted to ask what had happened, but before he could finish speaking, he heard a clear echo in the council hall. The voice was still cold, but it carried a chilling tone.

"what?"

Zhu Sihai stood up from his seat in astonishment, staring at the empty space in front of him with a look of horror.

The cool voice was unhurried and unhurried, ignoring Zhu Sihai's exclamation, and said again, "Even the Zique that I went to investigate has disappeared."

"This is impossible!"

Zhu Sihai found it hard to believe.

The sparrow, invisible to the naked eye, glanced at Zhu Sihai, who looked somewhat bewildered.

She was also somewhat incredulous; the first two sparrows felt as if they had been chewed up and swallowed by something.

This was already hard for her to understand. Her own sparrow was invisible to the naked eye and incomprehensible to the soul. What could it eat so carefully?

Zi Que, who went to investigate afterward, also mysteriously lost contact.

The feeling she had for him vanished in an instant, without leaving a trace!

"This is true!"

Without any pretense or excuses, Quezi readily admitted it.

Zhu Sihai's face darkened, and he felt a sudden, indescribable panic.

My own daughter is a spirit-sealed inner bird, yet even her divine soul, the little bird, has been unknowingly extinguished. What kind of power is this?
Could it be the City God?
If she is the City God, why hasn't she resolved her own spiritual problems?

Not only Zhu Sihai couldn't understand it, but even Quezi couldn't understand it. After pondering for a long time, Quezi said again:
"Such methods probably can't be used on herself. Perhaps it's some kind of secret treasure that targets the soul? The City God has already discovered that there's something wrong with her soul, which is why she's been sleeping in the River of Yin Qi in an attempt to slow down the condition of her soul. But her growth can't keep up with the Inner Sparrow, and it's only a matter of time before she's controlled!"

Zhu Sihai nodded slightly. No matter what methods were used, the City God's condition could not be faked!
Even if it were a matter of using oneself as bait, it shouldn't have gone to this extent, right? "It seems the City God really has some incredible trump cards up his sleeve!"

Zhu Sihai sighed softly. Quezi vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't give an answer. She even wondered if a new evil spirit had appeared outside the city, feeding on souls.

Neither of them connected this matter with Li Wushou in the slightest, not even Zhu Sihai, who wished he could kill Li Wushou on the spot.

During the brief silence between the two, a few rustling sounds suddenly came from the spacious and brightly lit council hall.

Zhu Sihai turned his head and saw that the floor he had just broken and splashed with water from the teacup was now covered in cracks. The center of the cracks was slightly raised and trembling, as if something was sprouting inside!

"Click~!"

With a sudden, sharp crack, the floorboards were completely pushed open, and a dark green sapling emerged from them. It then grew rapidly, reaching over a meter in height in a short time.

The branches and leaves swayed gently, and a human face slowly emerged on the trunk, which was as thick as an adult's wrist.

Her face was quite beautiful, but now her eyes held a murderous glint in them, and in that instant, she demanded of Zhu Sihai:

"Lord Zhu, what exactly happened to Cui Family Village? My treasures are gone, even my own branch is gone, a branch that has been with me for hundreds of years!"

Zhu Sihai was taken aback by the question, thinking to himself, "You're using the same words as me! I'd like to ask what exactly happened!"

"The Tree Goddess has arrived just in time! The newly appointed High Priest Li Wushou of the City God Temple has just returned in triumph with all his junior priests intact! Even the River God's fish tail was severed and brought back by them. I was just about to go to the Burial Soul Forest to ask the Tree Goddess what exactly happened!"

Zhu Sihai spoke bluntly, and the anger in his eyes was easily discernible.

The Tree Goddess also paused, her prepared words of accusation interrupted.

Ever since she sensed that her branch's divine soul had dissipated, the Tree Goddess angrily sent a tree seed along the earth's veins into the Five Directions City, heading straight for the City Lord's Mansion.

She thought she had been tricked by Zhu Sihai's fake news.

It seems that the City God Liu was never asleep at all, which is why he so decisively destroyed one of his own branches.

Arriving in anger, he was naturally aggressive, but unexpectedly, Zhu Sihai also seemed to be angry?
"My darlings have wiped out Cui Family Village. Those useless officials from the City God Temple have no chance of escaping my Hundred Infant Barrier, not even the Martial Gods. It's only possible if the City God himself intervenes or a Civil God leads the way!"

Zhu Sihai nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with what the Tree Goddess said.

"The City God is indeed asleep, and you, the Civil Official, know where he is!"

The Tree Goddess looked displeased and asked in a cold voice, "Who destroyed my branch?"

Zhu Sihai finally understood that something must have happened in Cui Family Village. He thought that Tree Goddess had turned against him, but he didn't expect that she would also suffer.

This unknown made Zhu Sihai somewhat uneasy, and he was about to tell the Tree Goddess everything to soothe her emotions.

A red-faced paper figure floated gently into the council hall.

The paper figure, about half a meter tall and dressed like a butler, floated in, bowed directly to Zhu Sihai, and then said in a strange tone:

"Greetings, Lord Zhu. Her Majesty sent me to inquire why the promised flesh and blood spirit official has not yet been delivered today."

That's four rounds today, please turn to the last page!
