I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 365: A Three-Day Deadline

Upon the grand avenue, the multitude of cultivators fell into an icy silence.

Their cultivation level and status were not considered high to begin with; most of them were casual cultivators. This time, they were invited to Zhuxian Town merely to establish a good relationship with the Lie clan, making it convenient for future interactions.

In regards to the patriarch of the Lie clan, there is indeed no strong sentiment attached.

Moreover, at this moment, even if there were deep emotions, one would not dare to act impetuously!

Did you not notice that several members of the Lie clan, as well as their attendants, who were by Lie Lao's side, were all keeping their heads low and remaining silent? Even these Lie clan members are showing timidity. Who would dare to jump at a time like this?

Upon the grand avenue, cultivators all had a pale complexion, bowing their heads in silence, afraid to draw the attention of this female demon and risk being slapped to death by her.

Even Lie Lao, who is in the realm of Innate, couldn't withstand the force of this woman's two palms. They, even more so, won't be able to endure it!

No one expected that just after their departure from the Qushui Village, they would encounter such a formidable deity on the road.

Killing people at the drop of a hat… It's truly killing people at the drop of a hat!

More terrifying than those infamous cultivators of the evil path who have shaken the region.

The cultivators silently lamented in their hearts, thinking that if they had known they would be so unlucky, they shouldn't have joined in on this commotion.

Nowadays, let alone good fortune, one can't even guarantee the preservation of their own life. It is truly a pointless endeavor!

The cultivators trembled in fear, while Lian Cangqing looked on with satisfaction at the awe-struck and trembling appearance of the cultivators, nodding in approval.

"If only things had been this way, no one would have died."

Pointing her hand towards a cultivator in the crowd, she said, "That Taoist, it's you. You were just talking about Huo Feng of the Yun Sect… Tell me, how did you encounter that rascal? And what exactly happened?"

The one that Lian Cangqing was pointing at was none other than Buddhist Layman Sanye in the crowd.

As Buddhist Layman Sanye saw Lian Cangqing pointing at him, a sudden shock ran through his heart, and cold sweat instantly started pouring out.

"I… I… I…" he stuttered, unable to even string together a coherent sentence.

Lian Cangqing furrowed her eyebrows and said, "You useless thing, unable to even express yourself clearly. Your existence is simply a waste of spiritual energy!"

As the words fell, she directly struck with an open palm in the air, and Buddhist Layman Sanye in the crowd let out a miserable cry. In an instant, he burst open, transforming into surging spiritual energy that spread out in all directions.

After killing people, Lian Cangqing finally turned her gaze towards the remaining individuals. Pointing casually at one of them, she said, "You… it's your turn to speak. What is the matter with Huo Feng of the Yun Sect?"

The person Lian Cangqing singled out was so frightened that his face turned green, feeling his legs go weak and almost collapsing.

However, taking Buddhist Layman Sanye's example as a cautionary tale, he didn't dare to truly collapse in weakness!

Quickly mustering his strength and speaking with clarity, he said, "Respected senior, Huo Feng of the Yun Sect appeared in the Qushui Village last night…"

In the face of a life-threatening crisis, the cultivator's mind had never been as clear as it was today. Swiftly, he succinctly described the events of the previous night, providing a concise but detailed account, enunciating each word with clarity.

After listening, Lian Cangqing furrowed her brows slightly and said, "So that's how it is. You managed to provoke that fellow and yet survive… Ha… truly, the heavens have no eyes."

After speaking, Lian Cangqing raised her palm directly and addressed the cultivators before her.

"Lu Heng has a good temperament and is not inclined to argue with you all, but I am different."

"I cannot stand people like you who bully the weak and fear the strong, using numbers to oppress the few, especially when it is directed at Lu Heng… Do you think a bunch of worthless creatures like you, who are no better than dog excrement, have the right to boast in front of Lu Heng?"

"Let you all die today, it would save the wastage of spiritual energy by keeping you alive in this world!"

As Lian Cangqing's voice fell, the cultivators were all frightened to the core, immediately wailing and begging for mercy.

They never expected this wicked female demon to be so unreasonable, demanding full confession and still intending to kill them!

On the expressway, all the cultivators were terrified, their faces pale as they desperately knelt on the ground, incessantly kowtowing, seeking forgiveness.

Furthermore, there were individuals who kept offering excuses, claiming that they had no remaining involvement and didn't utter any insulting words last night.

However, Lian Cangqing remained indifferent, coldly shaking her head, and raised her right hand, imprinting the air in front of everyone.

Within the mountains and forests, the fierce wind danced wildly, as a colossal palm print descended from the sky, enveloping an area of one hundred zhang in diameter.

All the cultivators within this region were reduced to ashes and instantly burst apart, as an abundance of spiritual energy erupted once again.

Among them, several members of the Lie clan let out desperate roars before their death.

"Monster! The Lie clan will not relent!"

However, their voices continued to resonate among the mountains, even though their bodies and spirits had already perished, and even the true energy within them had transformed into the most primordial spiritual energy, dissipating into the heavens and earth.

As Lian Cangqing, the one who took lives, withdrew her right hand, her expression remained indifferent, devoid of any sense of guilt.

It seemed as if she had merely slain a few buzzing flies.

As for the furious roars of the dying members of the Lie clan, she heard them in her ears and shook her head repeatedly.

"The Lie clan is truly unfortunate to have a few fools like you,"

"If I were you, I would never utter a single word about my own clan."

Saying so, Lian Cangqing turned around and walked towards the direction of the Qushui Village.

As for the clamors of those few members of the Lie clan before they died, she completely ignored them.

Her time is indeed precious; she has no leisure to make a special trip just for the clamors of a few fools.

If the people of the Lie clan don't come knocking on the door, it's fine; but if they actually do, then we'll see.

For her now, the most crucial matter is to find Lu Heng of Hanyu Mountain.

This individual unexpectedly went north and happened to be nearby… Hmph!

It seems that Jiu Mie, that old monk, didn't lie to her.

Lian Cangqing, who initially intended to confront Jiu Mie, has now abandoned that notion.

While heading southeast all the way, Lian Cangqing swiftly arrived outside the Qushui Village and beheld a vast, tranquil, and harmonious estate.

Without wasting any time, Lian Cangqing immediately extended her hand towards a distant mountain and grasped it firmly.

Boom!

Amidst the deafening roar, that mountain, which was a thousand zhang away from her, was grasped by her from a distance, severed from the ground, and ascended into the sky.

Countless birds flew out in panic from the rising peak, scattering in all directions.

The scattered sand, stones, and soil fell like a cascading waterfall.

In the early morning, The Qushui Village cultivator, along with the mortals who witnessed this horrifying scene, were all utterly stunned.

Everyone rushed out of their houses in terror, gathering outside to witness the mountain suddenly soaring across the sky and hovering above the Qushui Village.

The colossal mountain, resembling a towering boulder, loomed coldly above the village, blocking the sunlight and casting its shadow over the heads of all who stood beneath.

Simultaneously, a chilling woman's voice echoed among the mountains, making it clear to all within and outside the Qushui Village.

"Notify Huo Feng of the Yun Sect that he must come to this place and meet me within three days, otherwise, the Qushui Village shall be wiped off from the face of this land!"

As the voice fell, the enormous mountain in the air remained suspended, motionless.

However, invisible walls began to rise around the Qushui Village, entrapping the cultivators within. Surprisingly, it seemed that only ordinary mortals could freely enter and exit, while the cultivators found themselves unable to escape.

Upon witnessing this scene, Master Qu was utterly dumbfounded.

"This… Is it possible that someone with great power is using us as hostages to force the appearance of Huo Feng of the Yun Sect?"

Master Qu's expression turned utterly despairing.

"But we have offended Huo Feng of the Yun Sect, how could he possibly care about the life and death of people like us!"
