Chapter 265: Chapter 188 You Shen Falls_2

"Take him away!"

Li Chengfeng issued orders to Zhang Yifeng.

...

At the Zhou Family’s Troupe, before the Ancestor Tree,

Zhou Lingyi and Yuan Buyu’s feelings were nothing short of tumultuous.

At first, when Zhou Xuan and Lv Mingkun joined forces and nailed several Wuzuo to death in just five incense sticks’ time,

Zhou Lingyi and Yuan Buyu were merely slightly surprised.

After all, they’d seen Zhou Xuan use tattoos to perform divination at the shop, reaching the level of four incense sticks.

A storyteller at the level of four incense sticks taking out a Wuzuo at five incense sticks—wasn’t that as easy as flipping one’s hand?

After three incense sticks, storytellers ranked within the top three combatants of the nine ancient halls.

However, when Zhou Xuan faced Lu Yusheng, Zhou Lingyi couldn’t help but feel a bit tense.

Lu Yusheng was a renowned expert capable of crossing realms, armed with protective armor.

If not for Xia Jin holding down the battle at East Market Street, Zhou Lingyi might have needed to awaken the Ancestor Tree to aid Zhou Xuan.

Yet it turned out Zhou Lingyi and Yuan Buyu had worried for nothing.

Not only did Zhou Xuan strip Lu Yusheng of his magic artifacts one by one, but he also summoned the Blood Well and directly stripped Lu Yusheng of his armor.

"See that? This is what a storyteller can do—two incense sticks, and they can beat down someone at five incense sticks!"

Yuan Buyu cared nothing for Zhou Xuan’s meticulous takedown of Lu Yusheng; as long as Zhou Xuan won, it was proof of the storyteller’s prowess.

"Just say it—our disciple, isn’t he a proper storyteller?"

The Ancestor Tree suddenly erupted with laughter and joy.

But soon, the Stela King’s decision to intervene enraged Zhou Lingyi and Yuan Buyu.

Yuan Buyu cursed, "If I were there, I wouldn’t care who he served in the God Traveling Department! Relying on incense offerings to bully my disciple—I’d beat him so badly he wouldn’t even recognize his own mother!"

Zhou Lingyi’s face grew even darker and unsettled!

Had Li Chengfeng not arrived, the Stela King would surely have struck to kill Zhou Xuan.

"Has Mingjiang Prefecture’s God Traveling Department fallen to such disgrace?"

Through the Ancestor Tree’s link, Zhou Lingyi saw Li Chengfeng preparing to escort the Stela King to the Bone Elder Association’s prison, sparking her fury.

"Bully my younger brother, and you think he can just relax in prison? How is that even fair?"

Zhou Lingyi said coldly, "The Old Hall usually doesn’t compete for power or fame, but over time, folks in Mingjiang Prefecture have truly forgotten that witches also serve gods."

As she spoke, Zhou Lingyi drew a Blood Talisman in mid-air and dominantly declared, "Xia Jin, keep the Stela King behind. Whatever happens, I’ll take responsibility."

...

On the small hill along East Market Street, Xia Jin found himself trapped in a dilemma, torn between ’making a move’ or ’staying put.’

He had once been Ping Shui Prefecture’s Evil Slayer You Shen, now transferred to Mingjiang Prefecture’s God Traveling Department, making him a colleague of the Stela King.

To act too harshly between colleagues would violate the rules of the God Traveling Department.

Yet to simply watch as the Stela King walked away left him dissatisfied.

Who didn’t know that the Bone Elder was practically the City God’s favored child, entangled in countless connections on both sides? Locked up today, he’d walk free tomorrow.

Now that the Blood Talisman appeared and Zhou Lingyi issued a kill order, Xia Jin made his move.

But everything couldn’t fall solely on Zhou Lingyi’s shoulders. Ping Shui Prefecture’s God Traveling Department, like the smaller halls of Ping Shui Prefecture, thrived on unity.

Xia Jin bent his bow and nocked his arrow, swapping out the regular Feathered Arrow for the golden arrow shaft belonging to Lord Jian.

He fired three consecutive golden arrows!

...

The Stela King had just been bound by the ink lines of twelve City Gods, ready for transport.

Then a sharp whistling of arrows pierced the air.

A golden feathered arrow arced through the sky, aimed straight at the Stela King.

The Stela King’s ancient stela sacrificial text glowed from his hands; in that instant, he broke free from the twelve ink lines and confronted the incoming arrow.

The first arrow—

The Stela King pressed his palms together, catching the arrow between them. But the power of the arrow was immense, pushing his body back, leaving deep furrows in the ground under his feet as he slid backward.

The furrows stretched nearly three or four zhang in length before he finally came to a stop.

The Stela King’s palms, chafed from gripping the arrow, bled profusely.

As the first arrow landed, the second arrow followed almost immediately.

For this arrow—

The Stela King countered by unleashing the City God Ink Line, wrapping the arrow in mid-air, intending to sever it with Perception.

Li Chengfeng wasn’t about to let him succeed, silently chanting a Prayer Spell, igniting the ink line with flames and burning it away.

Without the ink line’s restraint, the arrow sped forth, tearing through the Stela King’s chest.

"Li Chengfeng... you...!"

Li Chengfeng smiled politely. He wasn’t the type to kill a You Shen outright, but lending a helping hand here and there—that he could manage.

The third arrow was loosed—

The golden feathered arrow struck true, and the Stela King could no longer defend himself, its tip lodging into his forehead.

The arrow didn’t lose momentum, punching through his skull and embedding itself deep into the stone wall behind him.

The Stela King’s body went limp, and with a heavy thud, he fell to his knees, facing Zhou Xuan’s direction. Shortly after, his body slumped over—dead.

"Stela King, I wanted to escort you away, but some people decided otherwise."

Li Chengfeng sneered coldly.

As the blood from the Stela King gathered, a small, vivid crimson flower appeared, guiding the blood to carve out a line of words on the ground: "Killer: Ping Shui Prefecture’s Zhou Lingyi."

"As expected, my sister shares the same temper as me."

Zhou Xuan chuckled, walking toward the body of the Stela King.

Six incense sticks’ worth of sacrificial offering from a You Shen—no way could he let that go to waste.

Standing beside the Stela King’s corpse, the Blood Well grew even more frenzied, and the Divine Revelation was visibly agitated.

"Divine Revelation, I get it now. You’ve got a thing for premium offerings. Unlike the well, it’ll take anything, high-grade or low-grade alike."

The black water of the Divine Revelation Secret Realm showed its disapproval of Zhou Xuan’s mockery, surging up a wave that rushed toward the Fei Yue Blood Well as if to say, "I’m nothing like the Blood Well."

But Divine Revelation’s response was swift—it took hold of Zhou Xuan’s right hand, moving his arm on its own. His fingers plunged into the Stela King’s body, grasping a bone, and tore it out with a single pull.
