Water elemental became a god, ultimately becoming the master of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers

Chapter 34 Ascending the Dragon, Treading the Rain

Yang Lu cackled maliciously.
"Naive! After what happened with Lu Jing, do you think Zhao Guangxi would let you lackeys break through again? Why not join the Duifang Sect? I'll guide you and bestow upon you the true teachings!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shouzhou's eyes showed a struggle.

Tang Jie, Sun Xiao, and the others' expressions changed drastically.

Sun Xiao took a deep breath, his sleeves billowing as if he were about to unleash an invisible and odorless poison from afar.

"Duh!"

However, as soon as he made a move, Yang Lu shouted loudly, like a thunderclap, which drowned out the continuous sound of rain.

Everyone's faces turned pale, and Yang Lu had already appeared in front of Sun Xiao, striking out with a palm aimed directly at Sun Xiao's vital points.

"I'm a dog..."

Suddenly, a hoarse voice rang out.

Lin Shouzhuo, with the agility of an ape, stood in front of Sun Xiao and exchanged three blows with Yang Lu!

After the three blows, Yang Lu stood still, her breathing normal.

Lin Shouzhou took three steps back and then crashed into Sun Xiao.

The two rolled out together, coughing up large amounts of blood.

Lin Shouzhou rolled over and stood up, a bitter smile on his face, and said,
"You, who have borrowed money from the capital, owe military loans, and whose remains will even be returned to the mill after your death... what kind of person are you?"

"court death!"

Yang Lu was furious when her secret was exposed. She rushed over from the ground, her arms outstretched like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, ready to grab the two men by the head!
The wind whipped up the raindrops and howled through the dark forest.

Occasionally, a pale flash of lightning would streak across the distance, illuminating the faces inside and outside the rice granary—faces contorted with fear, rage, or fury.

A drop of rain slid down the back of Yang Lu's neck, icy cold.

In an instant,

Yang Lu's will suddenly snapped, as if it had been subjected to some kind of intense stimulation, and was frantically issuing a warning.

A throbbing, tingling pain in the space between my eyebrows caused a rush of blood and energy to my brain.

Time seemed to slow down suddenly at this moment.

The raindrops, which flashed past my eyes, formed streaks of silver needles;
Lin Shouzhou's face was coarse and ugly, yet his eyes gleamed with a violent and fierce light;
The roaring and cursing that echoed in my ears;
and also……

A figure, like a ghost, appeared silently behind him.

Yang Lu could not see the figure, but he could vaguely sense its presence.

"Who...is it..."

Thoughts turn.

Yang Lu frantically turned her neck, her eyeballs rolling downwards.

I want to see it!

I want to see it!!
Who is it? Who's behind us?!

In Yang Lu's heart, a hysterical roar erupted.

His pupils sank slowly and laboriously at an extremely slight angle.

Finally, he saw it.

A hand, its skin texture indistinct, gently reached into his waist...

Right in front of him, they took the warehouse key.

Finally, she thoughtfully smoothed out the corner of his clothes.

Wow! !

The next moment, the world scenery began to accelerate.

The continuous heavy rain pelted Yang Lu's face.

He suddenly turned around and saw towering walls covered with fish-scale tiles, and the people in the mortar fighting and entangled with Shui San'er.

Behind them, there was no one left.
It seemed that everything that had just happened was just his illusion.

Yang Lu patted her waist, but found it empty.

Yang Lu's face suddenly turned deathly pale.

"Light as a cloud, soaring through the air and letting go... Is this the Cloud Chasing Divine Assistant, one of the 'Five Eccentrics, Four Masters, and Three Top-Ranked Masters,' or some martial arts grandmaster specializing in lightness skills?!"

Yang Lu felt a chill run through her body, and her back was covered in goosebumps.

If that figure had just shown even a hint of killing intent, crushing his throat and striking his vital point...

Seeing Yang Lu's absent-minded appearance, Lin Shouzhuo looked suspicious.

Just now, amidst the interplay of lightning and wind, he vaguely saw a strange shadow that flashed by, but then overlapped with the shadow cast by the branches.

He just had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

But the cause is unknown.

The next moment, Yang Lu seemed to realize something, and her expression changed drastically. "The warehouse, quick, to the warehouse!"

Yang Lu's eyes were bloodshot, and she roared fiercely, like a trapped beast facing a desperate situation, as she madly rushed towards the warehouse.

Instantly, smoke and fire shot into the sky, arrows flew, and explosions rang out.

All the people in the rice mill rushed towards the granary in the backyard.

"Where to go?!"

What the enemy is unwilling to do is what we should strive for!
Lin Shouzhou stepped forward, took a few steps, and threw a punch with both arms, aiming straight for the back of Yang Lu's head!

Seeing this, the other three water spirits also desperately entangled their opponents.

The sounds of fighting were incessant.

call out! !

It was at this moment that Huo Yue finally released his arrow.

The whistling sound tore through the air, ripped through the rain curtain along the way, and formed a white wave that could be seen with the naked eye, arriving in the blink of an eye!
Lin Shouzhou and Huo Yue, one in the open and one in the shadows, blocked Yang Lu's escape route.

At this moment, Yang Lu almost lost all reason and composure, her voice becoming hysterical.

"court death!!"

……

“Chen took it in front of us, so it can’t be considered theft.”

Chen Shunan scaled walls and rooftops as he made his way to the warehouse.

The key was inserted into the lock cylinder, the mechanism turned, and a slight gap was revealed in the tightly sealed, heavy iron door.

Chen Shunan lightly touched the ground with his toes and landed in the warehouse.

The first thing you see are dozens of underground brick kilns, and a large number of sacks that have not yet been filled into the kilns, with white rice scattered all over the ground!
Pine planks were laid on the ground, and straw mats were used to prevent moisture and dampness.

Chen Shunan only glanced at them out of the corner of his eye before heading towards the nearest brick kilns.

Yang Lu and Zhuang Kun hadn't been in the warehouse for long, so the items were probably stored not far from the warehouse door.

After searching for a while, sure enough, Chen Shunan found two boxes inside a brick kiln.

Inside a large box were countless tin boxes, each tied with a paper strip and stamped with the same mark—

The system of temples for worshipping spirits in the Twelve Rivers of the South China Sea!

Upon seeing this, a shadow crossed Chen Shunan's eyes.

The thing Chen Shunan least wanted to see has finally happened.

In the matter of the hibiscus oil lamp, Ushifusa did not play the role of a 'consumer', but rather a driving force.

When a cockroach is found in a room, it proves that it is everywhere in those unseen corners.

How much hibiscus oil lamp does the mortar still have?
How many people in Wuqing County, and even in the capital, have been burning hibiscus oil for fuel?

How much profit did the miller gain from this?

Thinking of this, Chen Shunan felt it necessary to use Instructor Lin to convey the news to Zhao Dongjia and the Kyoto Water Merchants Association.

He reached out and flipped the tin boxes over, knocking them to the ground.

Then it reached for the smaller box.

The box is square and about arm's length deep.

It weighs about 30 to 40 kilograms. When shaken slightly, it produces a sound that is extremely familiar and pleasant to Chen Shunan!

A collision of gold ingots and silver fish!

Chen Shunan's eyes lit up, and without saying a word, he picked up the box and ran!
The iron gate slammed shut and locked again with a click.

The sound of wind and rain came crashing in from the outside.

Several hurried footsteps approached the corner of the rooftop corridor.

Even from the rooftops, one could hear the clicking sound of tiles being moved.

It seems that a net has been cast here.

The workers who were already gathered in the backyard of the mill rushed over.

Chen Shunan looked up and saw a twelve-zhang-long banner pillar standing tall in the wind and rain in the courtyard.

A banner painted with images of the god of granary and abundant harvests fluttered in the wind.

Chen Shunan immediately carried the box with one hand, slammed the pole up, and reached the dragon head, where he hung the string of iron gate keys on the banner post.

Then it leaped down, like a dark cloud, and flew away in the rain, falling straight into the desolate forest nearly a hundred feet away.

On the eaves, someone holding a crossbow looked up at the rain-soaked figure, mouth agape, mind blank.

Holy crap, is that some kind of light-footed skill?!
