Please control me, my divine being!

Zhang Tan could hardly believe what he was seeing.

The person in front of me was indeed the ordinary girl from Huangshui Town. When I met her at the clinic, I was surprised by her innate superhuman strength and thought she was a good candidate for cultivation.

In retrospect, it wasn't a matter of being strong at all.

The other party must be a cultivator, but it is still unclear what path they take.

That mundane skill he just saw was somewhat like the "insight" of a broker. Since there was frequent friction between the legal system and the brokerage business, he had a deep impression of this mundane skill.

The "Insightful Eyes" used by a normal person are only for deceiving people and creating illusions. Like the weasels of the Huang family, their techniques do not have direct killing power.

But the girl's discerning eyes were so sharp they were almost frightening.

Or perhaps the opponent's pupil technique isn't the Eye of Wisdom at all, but belongs to another path, only appearing somewhat similar.

Both sides made their moves in the blink of an eye.

Now that the scene was quiet, Pang Ziyue was the first to step out.

She was still wearing that bamboo hat, completely covering her face: "Miss Li, you've managed to find this place, so it seems you've been in Lianshan City for quite some time."

You don't have the incense thread of the weasel on you, so you're not one of them.

There are no grudges between us that cannot be resolved.

She glanced at her injured companion beside her and continued, "You should have seen what we did back at the Fa Cult stronghold."

Allowing the Huang family to occupy Lianshan City now will only lead to widespread suffering and death.

Regardless of who you represent, we can sit down and talk, especially now.

She didn't want to continue fighting.

The girl's ghostly speed and superhuman strength are a real headache.

Many times, when an attack was about to hit the opponent, it would be dodged by a quick movement.

One or two times could be attributed to luck, but dodging repeatedly is no longer just luck.

Furthermore, the ability to make talismans disappear with a casual flick of the wrist during the battle, and the powerful eye techniques, are all effective counters to the Fa Sect.

Especially now, it is even more inappropriate to start a fight.

The disciples promoted from the Taoist temple were all sent out to entangle the Huang family and the brokerage firm.

The most important disciples remained in the Immortal Master's Hall, taking this opportunity to set up rituals, fully awaken the River God, and destroy the Yellow Immortal Hall in one fell swoop.

With both sides suffering heavy losses, not only can they easily obtain the River God's divine tablet, but they can also take away the incense offerings from the Yellow Immortal Temple.

The Celestial Master's wondrous arts also have an extremely high demand for incense offerings.

But now Li Qinghe has suddenly appeared, completely disrupting all plans. And this guy is extremely strong; after seriously injuring one of his disciples, he still seems to have energy left.

If the fighting continues and one of their disciples is killed, their ritual will come to an end.

The ritual must be presided over by six personally trained officiants, none of whom can be missing.

Li Qinghe stared at Pang Ziyue, her anger surging: "What you've done? Infecting people with evil sores, feeding people to river monsters, disregarding the lives of ordinary people, and you still have the nerve to say such things?"

She's never been good with words.

I said all this because of the anger that had been building up inside me for a long time.

"What we did? Everything we did in Lianshan City was for the greater good of saving everyone."

Pang Ziyue said confidently, "Whether it's saving the lives of the local river gods, defeating the Huang family, or distributing grain to relieve disaster and feed the victims, it's all the work of the Fajiao. Without us, most of the people in Lianshan City would have died."

And now.

We are planning to put an end to the dispute completely!

Miss Li, you are also a victim of the evil sores and have an irreconcilable feud with the Huang family. You should stand on our side even more.

With such skill, you must not go astray!

As she spoke, the golden statue of the Six Ren Immortal Master, towering within the Immortal Master Hall, shone brightly once more, and a faint voice echoed through the dimly lit hall.

The sound came from afar, ethereal and dreamlike.

"Heaven generates water, and Earth completes it. The pre-heavenly Ren water resides in the post-heavenly Qian hexagram, signifying the balance of water and fire. This is the path to enlightenment..."

A look of confusion appeared on Li Qinghe's face.

Pang Ziyue's eyes were deep and mysterious: "With your talent, Miss Li, you could easily become the head of a sect if you joined the Fa Sect."

A talisman appeared in her hand, spinning between her fingers like a snake.

"This talisman was personally bestowed by the Immortal Master and is precisely the opportunity for you to attain enlightenment. With just a drop of your heart's blood, you can achieve the Dharma body of Yin and Yang and ascend to the position of the altar master."

The sound kept echoing in my ears.

Li Qinghe felt his thoughts slow down, and all his memories became blurry. He subconsciously reached out his hand, but just as he was about to take the talisman, an even louder voice rang out.

"kill!"

The voice, though only a single word, resonated like the clash of swords and the thunder of horses within the Immortal Master's Hall.

The voice, filled with a chilling aura, shattered the immortal master's murmurs the moment it appeared.

Several cracks appeared on the statue of the immortal master standing in the hall, and then it exploded with a loud bang, scattering rubble all over the ground.

Upon hearing the sound, the others inside the hall felt as if swords were piercing their heads and being torn apart, and they immediately rolled on the ground in pain.

Li Qinghe regained her senses and gripped the wood-chopping knife tightly without hesitation, then strode out.

……

[You awaken from the murmurs of the immortal master, refuse the invitation to join the Six Ren Divination Cult, and launch another attack with the help of the gods.]

In the battle interface.

The field's capabilities have vanished at this point.

Zhou Qing dragged Li Qinghe's character badge and immediately made a move on the closest relative.

With a full-force attack and the addition of the Destiny Dice, a bright red number exploded above the opponent's head: minus thirty-six.

The badge that represented the direct disciple immediately shattered into pieces.

[You have killed a disciple of the Dharma Cult, forcing the awakening ritual to abruptly end!]

The "Redeeming the River God" questline and the "Joining the Cult of Law" questline are now closed.

[You have triggered the side quest: Eliminate the Six Rens and Annihilate the River God.]

Task Description:

The Liuren Fajiao is a Taoist sect that worships the Liuren Immortal Master.

He is skilled in the arts of water and fire talismans, the art of yin and yang harmony, the art of divination, and the art of possession.

Around Lianshan City in Yuyang County, sorcerers known as Liuren have appeared, using their sorcery to manipulate people's hearts and do evil in the region.

Although it was a lineage of the Celestial Masters' wondrous methods, after the Six Ren Immortals disappeared, it willingly degenerated and went down the path of demonic arts, using evil magic to nurture fallen gods, incurring the wrath of heaven and the resentment of men, and had no moral compass left.

Lian Shancheng River God once held the divine office of the Mountain and River Temple God and was granted the title of "Manifesting Sage, Promoting the Vastness of the Abyss and the Turbid River Lord". His spirit tablet was always enshrined on the altar and incense burned continuously.

However, after his advancement was hopeless, he was bewitched by the immortals and wanted to switch from the divine path to immortality. In the end, when the Five Immortals Sect invaded on a large scale, he was defiled by Master Huang Shiqi with festering sores and evil poison, and completely fell into the demonic path.

Suppress the Liuren cult and exterminate the River God.

[Mission Reward: Unlock the Divine Path System.]

Large text descriptions kept popping up.

Zhou Qing read it carefully and found that it only contained background descriptions of the Fajiao (Buddhist religion) and the River God.
