Because the great fish beast of Blood Refining Realm Perfection couldn’t be defeated, it could retreat into the unfathomable depths of the river.
Could it be that they want our esteed Mr. Xuan to also dive into the mysterious depths of Jinlin River?
As for why Taiping Town hasn’t relocated, it’s because of the area within a hundred miles.
There’s only one major river, which is also an important route to the White Dao Prefecture city.
The Jinlin County governnt has also proposed Taiping Town relocate, but it was mostly rejected by the people of Taiping Town.
Nowadays, the world is becoming more chaotic, and finding a place to settle is difficult, so even if a small price is paid, it’s better than wandering and drifting.
The main reason is that the great fish beast seems to know its limits.
It hides at the bottom of Jinlin River without causing trouble and only requires twenty boy and girl offerings each year.
The people of Taiping Town have co to accept this arrangent.
After that, the Profound Bird Guard from the city chose to pretend they hadn’t seen anything.
Now, with the great change of the world, the extraordinary and bizarre occurrences have started to resurface.
Even other mountain beasts have begun appearing in large numbers among humans.
Even the Profound Bird Guard in the city is facing a personnel shortage.
Therefore, Mr. Xuan has chosen to turn a blind eye to the beast of Jinlin River to maintain the status quo.
However, Zhao Sheng and his companions didn’t expect there to be another reason behind this.
The truth is, deep beneath Jinlin River lies a terrifying existence.
One of the few who knows this secret is Li Chengfeng, whom they call Mr. Xuan.
Jinlin River’s River God?
Isn’t this a legendary folk deity?
Although Lu Xuan’s face shows no emotion, his mind becos active.
Sacrificing living people?
I feel this leans more towards an evil deity, could it be a beast?
Beast!
At this mont, Lu Xuan’s face finally displays a hint of expression as he glances at Zhao Sheng and his companions.
Lu Xuan then notices sothing unusual on Zhao Sheng and his companions’ faces.
Logically, Zhao Sheng and his companions, being martial artists of Blood Refining Realm,
should have heard the conversation between the Taiping Town mayor and others, just like him.
"Zhao Sheng, as a mber of the Profound Bird Guard, have you heard of this River God?"
After a while, Lu Xuan puts down the tea cup and casually brings up the matter of the River God.
Lu Xuan’s sudden question brings awkward smiles to Zhao Sheng and his three companions.
"Hehe."
"Mr. Xuan, I have indeed heard of such a thing as the River God."
"Mr. Xuan, are you referring to the River God of Jinlin River?"
"We do know a little about this matter."
Zhao Sheng is aware that when the esteed elder ntions the River God, he is surely referring to the beast of Jinlin River.
Although it is sowhat embarrassing to speak of this, Zhao Sheng mustered the courage to tell the truth to Mr. Xuan.
"Alright, Zhao Sheng, there’s no need to continue, I understand."
Zhao Sheng was interrupted by Lu Xuan before he could finish speaking.
So it’s a beast of Blood Refining Realm Perfection!
Lu Xuan didn’t care about the details as long as he knew the so-called River God of Jinlin River was a beast.
"By the way, Zhao Sheng, I heard that this town provides twenty boy and girl offerings to that beast each year."
"If it doesn’t see those offerings in three days, is there any reaction from the beast?"
Zhao Sheng, feeling awkward, responds sluggishly to Lu Xuan.
"Mr. Xuan, regarding this... I don’t know either."
They haven’t stayed in Taiping Town, so how could they know the consequences?
"Is that so?"
Lu Xuan murmurs softly and casually speaks a sentence.
A sentence that shocks Zhao Sheng and his companions.
"You three shall accompany to pay a visit to the mayor of Taiping Town."
"I’m quite curious about what will happen if the beast of Jinlin River doesn’t see the offerings in three days."
"Mr. Xuan, you can’t!"
"That beast has Blood Refining Realm Perfection strength; none of us are a match for it."
"If we anger it, then—"
Lu Xuan furrows his brows slightly, dissatisfied: "That’s not your concern; I have thods to deal with it."
Imdiately, an inexplicable powerful aura emanates from Lu Xuan, making Zhao Sheng and his companions feel as if facing a great enemy.
"Then we will abide by Mr. Xuan’s arrangents."
Seeing Lu Xuan’s determination, Zhao Sheng and his companions have no choice but to accept his arrangents.
Of course, Zhao Sheng and his companions harbor so hope.
If Lu Xuan can eliminate that beast, Zhao Sheng and his companions would be thrilled.
They are simply worried that if they fail, it would surely anger the beast of Jinlin River.
In that case, while they might be safe, the townsfolk of Taiping Town wouldn’t be.
They would suffer the wrath of the beast of Jinlin River.
The residence of Taiping Town’s mayor!
At this mont, there are twenty boys and girls in the hall, all chosen as offerings for the River God.
"Give the order for these days’ als to be prepared richly; consider it Taiping Town’s compensation for them."
The mayor of Taiping Town seems sowhat remorseful, turning his back to avoid looking at the crying children.
"You will be responsible for watching over these children and rember that this is a matter of great importance to the offering, allowing no mistakes."
Swish!
At this mont, the sound of small objects landing on the ground is heard.
In the hall, four figures suddenly appear, shocking everyone present.
These four are Lu Xuan and Zhao Sheng with his two companions.
Even the crying children stop sobbing, curiously looking at the four.
The mayor of Taiping Town imdiately assus a defensive posture, warily watching Lu Xuan and the others.
"Who are you!"
"Mayor of Taiping Town, correct!"
"I am Zhao Sheng from the Profound Bird Guard of White Dao Prefecture city; I will take charge of Taiping Town for the next few days."
Lu Xuan spoke calmly.
Zhao Sheng, standing beside Lu Xuan, staggered slightly as if affected by Lu Xuan’s words.
"Profound Bird Guard?"
"It’s you!"
"You have co for the River God of Jinlin River?"
Upon hearing Lu Xuan’s words, the mayor of Taiping Town recalls those powerful figures from White Dao Prefecture city years ago.
"But didn’t you fail back then?"
With a slightly troubled expression, the mayor of Taiping Town rembers the consequences of angering the River God of Jinlin River.
Hundreds of people from the town were taken by the River God of Jinlin River overnight.
