“Young Master, do you really plan on just having a talk with the Water Monarch of Wave River?”

The spirit glanced at the sword that Feng Qing’an was carrying and asked hesitatingly. He had no doubt that as soon as the River Monarch showed his face, this young master would draw his sword and strike him down.

“Is there a problem?”

Feng Qing’an looked at his own attire, not realising there was an issue with it.

But he noticed the spirit’s fearful eyes and explained with a laugh, “As a scholar of rank, it’s quite reasonable to carry a sword, isn’t it?”

“Yes, you’re right, Young Master!”

The spirit promptly agreed, but internally criticised the young man. He, the spirit, had received offerings for several hundred years, and even considering his time as a human, he had never seen such an audacious scholar.

Leading an armed group to storm the Official Residence in broad daylight, publicly beheading the subordinate judge and forcing the Prefecture Judge to resign—such audacity hadn’t even been demonstrated during the peak of the Night Patrol Office’s power under the reigns of Emperor Taizu.

“So, can you summon the Water Monarch ?”

“I… I’m afraid that’s beyond my powers!”

The spirit’s expression changed immediately. Despite his position as a Civil Judge of Prefecture City, even if the local god himself came, they would be ignored by the River Monarch.

Although they belong to the same divine order, spirits created from humans’ offerings and Earth Spirits who govern mountains and rivers differ fundamentally. They mutually envy and disdain each other.

The divine power of the spirits comes almost entirely from humans’ offerings. Without these offerings, they would lose their divine status. As a result, the succession of spirit positions happens frequently.

The Earth Spirits mainly rely on the mountains and rivers. Their divine positions are stable but also mostly unchanging, remaining the same even for hundreds or thousands of years. To become stronger, they can only hope to gather offerings.

But the vast majority of Earth Spirits, even using every possible means, could not gather as many offerings as minor city-bound spirits.

As a result, spirits envied the stability of the Earth Spirits’ divine positions, while Earth Spirits envied the ease with which spirits gathered offerings. But this envy did not prevent them from looking down on each other.

But the Water Monarch of Wave River was different. It was one of the very few Earth Spirits that not only had control over mountains and rivers but also received a lot of offerings from humans, living an exceptionally nourishing life.

So, it’s clear what spirits who live on offerings would look like in the Monarch’s eyes.

“You can’t?”

Feng Qing’an gave a glance at the spirit leading the way, probably understanding why the local god did not show his face. He likely couldn’t invite the River Monarch either, so Feng Qing’an would have to figure it out on his own.

“Young Master, maybe I could give it a try!”

At this moment, Sen Miao volunteered. She had sensed Feng Qing’an’s murderous intent toward the River Monarch and was willing to lend a hand in realizing it.

“Do you plan on stirring up the river bed?”

Through their Soul Contract, Feng Qing’an could sense Sen Miao’s thoughts. Even though it wasn’t as clear as with Black Mountain and Light Dragon, he could still guess what she planned to do.

“Yes!”

“Wait until the night. Even if something happens on the surface of the river, we can use the cover of darkness to avoid startling the mundane!”

Feng Qing’an abides by the rules of the mortal world. The ordinary people couldn’t see the ghosts and spirits around them, but wasn’t this also a kind of protection?

Without a countermeasure, not being able to see could let them coexist better with these supernatural beings, and they wouldn’t panic and scream, drawing unnecessary trouble. After all, the appearance of many ghosts and spirits far exceeded the acceptance of ordinary people.

Dusk soon fell with the setting sun. The farmers who had been working all day returned home in the glow of the setting sun. The banks of Wave River quickly quieted down, and there was no trace of humans.

Under the expectant gaze of the spirits of South Shao Prefecture, a news bearing horse stepped onto the turbulent river. The moment its hoofs touched the water, the surrounding flow became tranquil, like a tamed wild cat, becoming very docile.

The turbulent river became calm as Sen Miao passed by, creating a visibly calm waterway, and Sen Miao followed this ever-extending waterway to the bottom of the Wave River.

Without the power of Sen Miao to maintain it, the calm waterway started to collapse under the continuous impact of the river, gradually losing its stability and being swallowed again by the turbulent river.

“Young Master, will your steed be alright?”

Following behind Feng Qing’an, the sight of the horse that Feng Qing’an rode almost every day entering the river made Steward Zhao a little worried.

He had never imagined that the seemingly ordinary horse that could raise the dead and cause flesh to turn into bones also had the power to subdue the river.

Upon thinking about it, Steward Zhao couldn’t help but look at the two black and white wolves squatting next to the young master. If the horse had such divine powers, then what kind of supernatural properties would these two wolves that usually followed the young master have?

Howl-

Noticing Zhao’s gaze and the implications in his eyes, Black Mountain issued a low growl. The originally ordinary-sized wolf body began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the astonished gazes of the group of martial artists who had come to join in the fun, the small black wolf turned into a terrifying monster the size of a tower in the blink of an eye. Blazing blue flames wrapped around its limbs and body.

This forced the spirits who had already kept a considerable distance to take a few more steps back. The flames that could erode the soul also aroused deep disgust and repulsion in these spirits..
