Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Alarm bells rang in their hearts. All the magic cultivators who had participated and even made a move turned around and left without saying a word. Once they were out of the Blackwater River, they used their respective methods to fly away.

"Those guys, they really got away fast!"

Xiao Shan sat upright on the divine throne of the Blackwater River Water Palace, looking at the divine light mirror with a diameter of half a meter in front of him. Several agile figures were leaping out of the water in the mirror, and then either turned into the wind and left, or stepped on swords to escape. In the blink of an eye, they were gone. He couldn't help but laugh and scold.

Given his control over the Blackwater River and the miraculous power of the Blackwater River God, how could he not know what these magic cultivators were doing beneath the river?

However, since his subordinate water demons and spirits were not capable enough and had not experienced fierce competition, Xiao Shan simply used the foreign magic cultivators as whetstones.

Being able to withstand the siege of foreign magic cultivators will greatly benefit one's own strength, temperament, and future prospects.

As for those that don't survive, well, that's just bad luck for them.

Chapter 898, Xiaoshan Doesn't Support Idlers! (Please Subscribe!)

Xiaoshan does not have the habit of supporting idle people.

Not to mention, those twelve River God's divine seals must absolutely not be entrusted to the wrong person.

Otherwise, if problems arise later, it could be a real mess.

Right now, it's the perfect time to hone one's skills by borrowing the power of opposing magic cultivators.

Of course, Xiao Shan also planned to take action against a few of the most vocal magic cultivators, to let them know that the consequences of plotting against him were not good.

Who knew this guy would be so slippery?

Seeing that things were going badly, he turned and ran without saying a word.

While Xiao Shan found it amusing, he couldn't help but sigh, "Cultivators who can reach this level are indeed quite skilled!"

If they hadn't guessed that Xiao Shan had completely taken control of the Blackwater River and could pose a deadly threat to them at any time, how could these arrogant magic cultivators have made such a decisive move and turned to run away?

Seeing the group of magic cultivators turn and run away, Xiao Shan found it somewhat amusing, but he had no intention of giving chase.

We'll have plenty of opportunities to work together in the future, so let's take it slow!

After retrieving the Divine Mirror, Xiao Shan saw three divine seals that had flown back on their own. He summoned the Turtle Prime Minister and ordered him to send out new spirits to take over the water eye nodes.

We will not distribute the divine seals for now; we can reward them after they have accumulated enough merit or hard work.

The Blackwater River quickly returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

For the boat merchants on the river and the people along the banks, nothing had changed on the Blackwater River; they had no idea about the previous fighting.

Because Xiaoshan proclaimed himself the river god of the Blackwater River, the once unruly Blackwater River has been quite calm for a long time, gaining the trust of traveling boatmen, river merchants, and people along the river.

The incense offerings at all the river god temples along the riverbanks controlled by the Northwest government suddenly became even more abundant.

Even in the riverside villages where the opposing forces were located, many fishermen and villagers secretly worshipped the Blackwater River God, hoping that the river god would bless them to have a smooth fishing trip and prevent any unexpected events.

Although the hostile forces on the other side were annoyed, they couldn't be bothered with the fishermen's and ordinary people's worship unless they openly established the Blackwater River God Temple. They simply couldn't manage it all!

When the group of magic cultivators who had participated in the attack on the Blackwater River God and jointly killed three water demons and spirits returned safely, they were all still in shock and very angry.

"Can anyone tell me how that shameless scoundrel managed to control the entire Blackwater River shipping?"

"If you don't know, how could we possibly know?"

"This was truly a close call! Who could have predicted that the King of the Northwest would have completely taken control of the Blackwater River's water transport and even condensed a divine seal representing the River God's authority? He even has a divine seal!"

"Yes! Those water demons and spirits of ordinary strength have not only greatly increased in strength with the help of the divine seal of the subordinate god, but they are also extremely powerful in the Blackwater River!"

"Alas, this was a real miscalculation! If only we hadn't participated in this operation. I wonder if that bastard, the King of the Northwest, has already set his sights on us?"

"So what if we've got our eyes on him? He's just one person! We have so many like-minded people, and we have the support of the major sects. If a fight really breaks out, it's hard to say who will win!"

"Indeed, if that King of the Northwest stays obediently in the Blackwater River and the Northwest, that's fine. But if he dares to come to our territory and cause trouble, we'll make sure he doesn't leave alive!"

"It's just a pity. If only we could obtain the divine seal representing the authority of the Blackwater River God, as well as those scattered divine seals of subordinate gods!"

These words immediately drew greedy glances.

The divine seal representing the authority of the Blackwater River God, and the divine seal of the subordinate gods, those are all good things!

Regardless of which party receives it, both their influence and strength will experience a significant boost.

All the magic practitioners, their respective sects, and their family forces were all tempted.

If one could obtain the position of the River God of the Blackwater River, it would represent a huge leap in strength.

Not to mention that it can also bestow titles upon subordinate gods, which is something that would make the eyes of both families and sects turn red with envy.

Unfortunately, the shameless King of the Northwest, Ren Weiyong, is far too powerful. It won't be easy to snatch the River God's Seal from him.

But no matter how difficult it is, they will not give up easily when faced with huge profits.

They either contacted the elders of the sect or colluded to form a temporary alliance, their first priority being to take down their common target, Ren Weiyong, the King of the Northwest. As for the spoils they seized, they could distribute them later.

……

Xiao Shan paid no attention to the schemes of these magic cultivators.

If you think you have the ability to seize the position of the River God of the Blackwater River, then come on, he welcomes you.

Right now, however, he is preoccupied with another unexpected event.

"Your Majesty, while patrolling the river section, we discovered signs of a group of ghost cultivators infiltrating!" A fish-headed, human-bodied spirit wearing general's armor cautiously reported to Xiao Shan. "That fellow was very alert. Before we could even take the little demons to investigate, he quickly fled and left the river section!"

"A ghost cultivator?" Xiao Shan asked calmly. "Where did you encounter one? Would a ghost cultivator dare to go into the river?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, your subordinate and I discovered the ghost cultivator in a section of the river in the White Mountain branch!" the fish-headed, human-bodied spirit replied respectfully. "Your subordinate was worried that the ghost cultivator was just a scout, so we hurriedly returned to report to Your Majesty!"

A branch of Baishan Mountain?

Xiao Shan had a sudden inspiration and asked directly, "You think that ghost cultivator is a subordinate of the White Water Demon?"

Looking across the entire Great Chu, the Baishui Mountains are a very special place.

It is said that there is a passage connecting the underworld and the world of the living, where the White Water Demon reigns supreme, possessing immense strength and unbelievable power.

I just don't know why he took a liking to the Blackwater River. Could it be that he also coveted the position of the Blackwater River God?

Does the White Water Demon covet the position of River God of the Black Water River?

None of them seem reliable.

The Baishan Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, where the White Water Demon reigns supreme!

Wanting to be the only one of the most powerful in the vast Changbai Mountains is definitely a hellish challenge.

That area can be considered the heartland of the Great Chu, where the power of the royal family and the government is extremely strong. To try to dominate the vast Baishan Mountains would be to challenge the authority of the royal family and the government.

The fact that the White Water Demon can stand firm shows that he has real skills.

Not to mention, rumors in the cultivation world say that this person also wields considerable power in the Netherworld, and even dares to intercept spirits and ghosts entering the Netherworld through the underworld passage from White Mountain.

So far, nothing has happened to them, which shows just how powerful the White Water Demon really is.

Chapter 899, The Thousand-Year-Old Flower Fairy's Attempt to Win Over Her! (Please Subscribe!)

Anyway, at this point, the White Water Demon was definitely a person who was not easy to mess with.

Of course, if the White Water Demon thinks that Xiao Shan, the King of the Northwest and the River God of the Black Water River, is easy to deal with, Xiao Shan wouldn't mind letting him taste his power.

“It shouldn’t be the White Water Demon’s order!” After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Shan said decisively, “That guy probably doesn’t care about the position of River God of the Blackwater River either. It must have been his ghost cultivators who did it on their own!”

"Your Excellency, what should we do?" The black fish demon, who had come to report the unusual behavior of the White Mountain ghost cultivators towards the Blackwater River, breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, "Should we teach them a lesson?"

"You, do you have such ability?" Xiao Shan glanced at the black fish demon with a half-smile, and said irritably, "If you can chase them away, then chase them away; if you can kill them, then kill them. Don't be polite to them!"

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, we will not let you down!" The black fish demon was immediately filled with fighting spirit, raising its head and puffing out its chest, "We will definitely not let the White Mountain ghost cultivators gain any advantage!"

He waved his hand, telling the guy to leave quickly, and Xiao Shan wasn't too worried about it.

As long as the White Water Demon doesn't intentionally interfere in the Blackwater River water transport competition, there's nothing to worry about.

It's simply a matter of dealing with whatever comes our way.

The Blackwater River Water Palace is not to be trifled with. As long as the twelve elemental god seals are not lost or are severely damaged, the Water Palace can continuously produce elemental gods at the Nascent Soul stage, which is enough to withstand the impact of ordinary ghost cultivators.

If a higher-level ghost cultivator were to personally take action, Xiao Shan wouldn't mind letting him experience what it's like to have his soul scattered. The Blackwater River is not one to be trifled with.

Even if we end up attracting the White Water Demon, it's no big deal. What's the big deal?

However, the development of events was clearly beyond his expectations.

After the Black Fish Demon returned, it faced another probing attack from the White Mountain Ghost Cultivator Vanguard and took extremely tough measures to deal with it, almost resulting in a fight.

This fellow is not afraid at all. With the River God Xiao Shan as his backer, he is not afraid at all unless he encounters the ghost general under the command of the White Water Demon.

In any case, the divine cultivators still have a great deterrent effect on the ghost cultivators.

Divine cultivators can easily borrow the power of heaven and earth, the most important of which is the power of thunder. Their own divine power also has a great restraining effect on ghost cultivators.

Against ghost cultivators of the same level, as long as the ghost cultivator has not reached the terrifying realm of extreme yin generating yang, the divine cultivator still has a significant advantage.

Sure enough, the White Mountain Ghost Cultivator Vanguard, despite his arrogant attitude and terrible temper, showed no intention of taking the initiative to make a move.

The fear on the ghost's face was obvious even to a fool.

The ghost cultivator from Baishan took the initiative to leave, but not long after, a name card from a well-known great demon was delivered directly to Xiaoshan's desk through the Black Fish Demon.

A thousand-year-old flower demon?

Xiao Shan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously, "Do you know its origins?"

"Your Excellency, the Thousand-Year Flower Demon is a subordinate of the White Water Demon. Her strength is quite good, and I've heard she has reached the Nascent Soul stage!" the Black Fish Demon replied respectfully.

It was very excited to be able to pay homage to the River God of the Blackwater River again in such a short time, as the opportunity to show its face in front of the River God was rare.

Tsk, this is the current state of demon cultivators!

They've lived for a thousand years, yet their strength is still only at the Nascent Soul stage.

If any human cultivator specializing in magic could live that long, they would at least be a powerful being at the Mahayana realm, demonstrating the unique advantages that human cultivators possess.

It is said that it is even more difficult for plants and trees to become demons.

It is not easy to develop intelligence alone. After having a vague intelligence, relying on instinct to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely inefficient. It may take hundreds or even thousands of years to reach the realm of a deity who can separate from the body and take on a physical form.

"What does that thousand-year-old flower spirit think?" His mind raced, and Xiao Shan pointed to the name card on the table, asking curiously, "Does she want to make peace with the Water Mansion?"

"I think so?" The black fish demon hesitated, somewhat uncertainly. "That person, using the name of the White Water Demon, has raised a group of vengeful ghosts and ghost cultivators under his command. The ghost cultivators that my subordinates encountered before were his direct subordinates!"

"What, does that flower fairy have some other ideas?" Xiao Shan asked curiously. "If she no longer has any intention of interfering in the Blackwater River, then she should just keep to herself and not interfere with each other. There's no need to send her a visiting card, is there?"

"Well, according to the ghost cultivator who delivered the name card, the Thousand-Year Flower Fairy wants to be friends with Your Excellency!" The Black Fish Demon answered quickly this time. "The ghost cultivator who delivered the name card also said that the Thousand-Year Flower Fairy has a group of beautiful female ghosts under her command, and asked me to inquire with Your Excellency if you are interested?"

"A beautiful female ghost?" Xiao Shan found it amusing. "By the way, where is the lair of that thousand-year-old flower demon?"

"Replying to Your Excellency!" Although he found it somewhat strange, the black fish demon still answered honestly, "The true form of the Thousand-Year Flower Demon is in a long-abandoned Taoist temple; that is the Thousand-Year Flower Demon's lair!"

"What's the name of that dilapidated Taoist temple?"

Baiyun Temple!

Xiao Shan nodded and said to the black fish demon, "When you get back, tell the flower demon that the two families should just keep to themselves and not interfere with each other too much!"

He paused here, then chuckled, "I don't really care about the White Water Demon. Ask the Flower Demon if she's afraid the White Water Demon will overthink things, or suspect that she wants to betray us?"

The black fish demon hurriedly nodded in agreement, showing no reaction whatsoever to the river god's decision not to take the female ghost.

They were originally river fish that had developed intelligence, but they hadn't fully transformed into human form. Their aesthetic sense was completely different from that of normal humans, so they didn't see anything wrong with the river god's actions.

……

Leaving aside the conversation and thoughts between Xiao Shan and his demon subordinates, let's just talk about the thousand-year-old flower demon who has Baiyun Temple as its lair. It quickly received a reply from the demon of the Blackwater River, which made it break out in a cold sweat.

Its original intention was simply to befriend the newly appointed Blackwater River God, so that there would be no possibility of communication if conflicts arose in the future.

But it forgot that it was the subordinate of the White Water Demon. If it associated with the Black Water River God, wouldn't that arouse the suspicion of the White Water Demon?

If the Blackwater River God were of average strength, it would be one thing, but this fellow is the King of the Northwest, whose strength is notoriously formidable.

Moreover, it recently received news that the Blackwater River God has completely taken control of the Blackwater River's water transport and has even refined a considerable number of subordinate divine seals.

Everything indicates that this Blackwater River God is quite powerful.

If you offend the big boss, Bai Shui Lao Yao, by befriending him, then it would truly be a loss that outweighs the gain.

The White Water Demon is not someone to be trifled with!

The flower demon, who made her living under his command, was already familiar with his methods and dared not act recklessly, lest she give the White Water Demon a chance to teach him a lesson.
