Pre-Qin Mythology: Starting with the River God

The aura of corpses permeated the entire water palace, shrouded in black mist. A chilling wind howled, and as the corpses swam about, the entire Quan River was tainted with the aura of calamity.

"That's my son!"

The people of Quan were originally offering sacrifices to the dead at Quanshui.

Sobbing, she was filled with gratitude for Quan Ming's efforts in securing the opportunity for them to pay respects to their loved ones.

Suddenly, they saw corpses emerging from the Quan River and surrounding the Water Palace. How could they not recognize those corpses dressed in Quan Kingdom armor and cloth armor?

"That damned tree spirit!"

Earlier, Quan Ming had pointed out in Quan Cheng that Zhi Xian used Quan Bing's corpse to create Yin Corpses.

At the time, Quan Ming promised to find the corpses, which temporarily appeased the Quan people. However, with the Yin corpses in front of them, a surge of grief welled up in their hearts, but they had nowhere to vent it. As the Quan people cursed angrily, the crowd became agitated.

Dou Lian, who was in charge of supervising the powerful, also sensed something was wrong... If this continued, the powerful would surely go into chaos!

"Quickly, go immediately... inform the Qu family by fast horse!"

Seeing the Water Palace surrounded and the waves dozens of feet high flowing upstream, Dou Lian was at a loss. He could only think of Qu Wan, who was about to take office, and Qu Xia, who was currently acting as regent.

"promise!"

……

Just as the Quan family was in turmoil, inside the Water Mansion, Quan Ming took a step back, waved his hand, and raised the wine brewed by the Lotus Brothers and Sisters to suppress the corpse energy that was seeping into the Water Mansion, and to protect the weak spirits and the herbs and flowers he had just planted from being corrupted.

After doing all this, Quan Ming's gaze turned slightly cold.

He looked at the auspicious beasts in the hall who were in a panic, and the bewildered Zhang Xian and Hu Xian, then at the Wei clan man with an ashen face, and the Jingshan Venerable Lord who was hesitant.

He raised his hand and commanded, "Guards!"

"Do not harm these corpses!"

The spirits in the mansion all withdrew from the main hall. The weaker ones hid in the back courtyard, while those like Feng Hua guarded the four directions, wary of the Yin Corpses breaking into the water mansion. At the same time, because of the special identities of these Yin Corpses, they could not be killed.

"this……"

Zhang Xian's expression turned serious. He stood up and asked sternly, "What is Zhi Xian trying to do?"

Tiger Immortal's expression flickered, his gaze shifting between Quan Ming and Wei Shi, not daring to speak. The other auspicious beasts were even more hesitant, remaining huddled in place.

Quan Ming glanced at them, but didn't expect anything from them.

hum...

A sense of sorrow spread from the outside world.

Quan Ming sensed it. As the ancestral god of the Quan Kingdom, he could clearly sense the grief and anger of the Quan people at this moment, as well as their prayers for the protection of their ancestors and for the punishment of the Zhi Xian!

"Wei-shi, what will you do now?"

Quan Ming spoke frankly, mobilizing the power of Quan Shui while questioning the man from the Wei clan. When the man from the Wei clan did not answer, Quan Ming snorted coldly, knowing that this guy was also shocked by Zhi Xian's sudden action. In his shock, he was also calculating whether the Wei clan could take the opportunity to seize Quan Shui if Zhi Xian risked killing him and the matter was settled.

"Heh... let's take our time figuring it out!"

Quan Ming had no intention of wasting time with this guy. He leaped out of the hall, crossed the imperial path, and passed through the giant blue stone gate. With a wave of his hand, he used the power of Quan Shui to push away the group of Yin Corpses... However, he was mindful of the Yin Corpses' status as Quan Ren and dared not harm them. The Yin Corpses immediately surrounded him again. Quan Ming prepared to use Quan Shui to transform into chains to suppress them, but then a huge wave of branch water came crashing down. Quan Ming had no time to spare and could only fight against the branch water, fighting and blocking at the same time.

"How dare you!"

"This is Quanshui, how dare you fight me!"

Quan Ming rode the wind and stepped on the giant waves dozens of feet high, blocking the branch water. With a wave of his hand, several water dragons surged forth to crash into the branch water, attempting to suppress the power of the branch immortal here.

Suddenly, a Yin Corpse General, imbued with eighty-one restrictions, appeared atop the giant waves of the Zhishui River.

"hold head high!"

With a roar, a storm of blood and gore rained down from the sky!

One by one, the Yin Corpses climbed up the giant waves along the branches and water, forming a wall of corpses that made it difficult for Quan Ming to make a move!

"Young Master!"

"Young Master Ming!"

In this situation, the powerful were in turmoil, but Dou Lian and the Chu army, who were guarding them, dared not actually make a move. They could only watch as the powerful broke through their guards and rushed towards the water palace...

One by one, those in power are calling out for Quan Ming!

One of the young men was carrying an old man on his back. This old man had lived a long life and saw things clearly. He knew that Quan Ming couldn't harm these Yin Corpses because they were Quan people. He quickly pounded on the young man beneath him: "Quick, get to higher ground, lift me up!"

"Ugh!"

"Quickly, someone lift the elder up!"

This old man was a clan elder of the Quan Kingdom, highly respected and virtuous. At this moment, he was being lifted up by a group of young and strong men, which drew Quan Ming's attention to him!

"Young Master!"

The clan elder, disregarding his years of gentlemanly conduct and his own frail body, cried out in a hoarse voice, "The dead cannot be brought back to life; do not worry about their remains!"

"The spirit of the branch is vicious! We would rather have no corpse to offer as a sacrifice than let our young master suffer harm!"

The people of Quan were also awakened by the clan elders.

One by one, they cried out in anguish, "Young Master, don't let Zhi Xian succeed! Don't hesitate!"

"Even without a corpse, a sacrifice can be made!"

"We don't want the corpse, we want our young master to be unharmed..."

"..."

How could Quan Ming not hear it? He was on the giant wave, and the sorrowful emotions emanating from those small figures shook the heart of this 'ancestral god'. He felt guilty because he had taken advantage of this affection.

The Dao Tian Assessment – ​​the one with power returns to Chu, without regret!

When the state of Chu is destroyed, how can its people not feel disheartened? Even if their lives are safe, the wounds in their hearts are hard to heal, leading to depression, a dazed state, and an unconscious distancing from everything related to Chu. They live each day indifferently.

Quan Ming understood perfectly.

To bring power back to Chu, we must first resolve the grievances in the hearts of those in power!

And this is the solution—Quan Ren is willing to abandon the remains of his relatives and choose to protect him, the god who has already returned to Chu. This is an important step for Quan Ren to try to accept the Chu Kingdom. For Quan Ming, this step is no less important than seizing the power of Zhishui!

hum!

The green spear in Quan Ming's hair trembled.

The fortune of the Kingdom of Power surged because of the grief and anger of the people of Power. At this moment, the fortune was boiling, and it was the time when the people of Power were of one mind and could be invincible with the fortune in their hands!

Quan Ming drew his green spear, his hair slightly disheveled, and the hairpin-sized spear instantly returned to its original shape, which he held tightly in his hand.

Sacrificial vessels!

Upon seeing the sacrificial vessel, the powerful people stared wide-eyed, their emotions growing increasingly agitated.

"Clang!"

The faint clang of the halberd foreshadows the impending bloodshed!

With this much fortune, even a Dao Heaven Level Three Venerable Lord could be killed in front of this powerful person!

calm……

Even if Quan Ming wanted to kill the Branch Immortal immediately and suppress the corpses, if one Branch Immortal died, countless others would take over. He had to wait and let the Branch Water, due to the Branch Immortal's mischief, give birth to a tomb of Quan people's corpses, which only he could take over!

The sharpness of a long spear.

Quan Ming's gaze turned icy as he pointed directly at the Yin Corpse General atop the giant wave opposite him!

"Zhi Xian, if you retreat now and hand over the remains of my lord, everything will be left to the King of Chu to decide... and you may be spared death!"

"Hahaha……"

From the mouth of the Corpse General came the arrogant, now-burnt voice of the Immortal: "Retreat?"

"How do I get a refund!"

"Quan Ming, you stole my destiny, and now I'm taking it back—it's only right and proper… Once everything is over, would the King of Chu really make an enemy of the Wei clan for a dead narcissus?!"

"You might as well just accept your death!"

Zhi Xian's voice grew fainter and fainter, as if she were using water magic to rush towards Quan Ming's water mansion!

Inside the water palace, everyone was shocked!

From the large cauldron on the imperial road, a protective talisman flew out, turning into a pool of blood that corroded the ground, forcing a gash into the branch immortal!

"How dare you, Zhi Xian Er!"

Inside the hall, Zhang Xian raised his hand, ready to stop them.

Suddenly, Zhang Xian flew out horizontally and crashed hard into a pillar inside the hall...

Tiger Immortal trembled, staring incredulously at Lord Jingshan: "That Branch Immortal abused his divine power, attempting to destroy the Water Palace of the Power Immortal... This is a Power Immortal personally appointed by the King of Chu, Lord..."

Seeing the threatening look in Venerable Jingshan's eyes, Tiger Immortal dared not speak again.

The other auspicious beasts and spirits remained rooted to the spot, looking around but not daring to make a move. As for the man from the Wei clan, he said with a gloomy expression, "Branch Immortal, you are too bold."

Although it is said to be bold, the current situation is clearly that the Water Palace is empty, Quan Ming is unable to be in two places at once, and Zhi Xian was prepared and has already attacked the Water Palace.

And they have the Lord of Jing Mountain in their residence...

All it takes is for them to work together from the inside and outside!

Even though this is Quan Ming's territory, this water mansion can be destroyed today... What a great opportunity!

The man from the Wei clan had made up his mind. Although this would anger the King of Chu, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.

"Once Zhixian enters, take action immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Lord Jingshan remained silent but nodded quietly... He also looked at Quan Ming with displeasure, the humiliation from earlier still vivid in his mind. If he could completely kill Quan Ming, he was willing to disregard the rules and intervene. After all... this was a scheme set up by Zhi Xian!

But I don't know why.

Lord Jingshan had some doubts.

Looking around, he found that none of Quan Ming's spirits were in the hall, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.
