Lake God

The divine voice had barely faded when a dazzling blade of light appeared.

Yin Chaoge, who had just opened her mouth to make amends, felt as if she had heard celestial music when she heard this question that sounded like an accusation.

Regardless of whether it was human or ghost, god or demon, Yin Chaoge didn't even have time to think before drawing his sword and charging out.

From the moment the divine voice rang out to the moment Yin Chaoge darted away like a horse shot in the rear, the entire process took less than two seconds, and Su Yi didn't even have time to react.

The moment the first glance fell upon the half-body statue formed by the lake water, it was already cleaved in two by Yin Chaoge with a single stroke.

Even Yin Chaoge felt it wasn't enough, and turned around like a storm, with countless blades flashing around the statue.

The dazzling sword intent, infused with true energy, unleashed dozens of slashes in the blink of an eye, and even stacked four sword stances.

The lake god statue, which had been cut in half by a single stroke, was initially somewhat disdainful. Its body, formed from the lake water, was naturally unafraid of being chopped by axes or knives. This brat rushed up and slashed at it.

As the water god of this eight-hundred-mile-long marshland, how could I possibly be harmed by a mere knife cut?

If I make the first move, I can stand on the moral high ground and give these disciples of the Falling Clouds Immortal Sect a good beating!

But with each strike, the power of the blows increased.

The blade even seemed to have the power to cleave the entire lake in two.

Yin Chaoge, who spends his days practicing splitting the river in front of the water, has finally returned to his comfort zone when he faces the half-body statue, which is also made of water.

The more I chop, the easier it gets!

Sensing the increasingly terrifying aura emanating from the young man in black before him, the previously confident Lake God instantly begged for mercy: "Immortal Master, wait a moment! I've come to escort you all to the Zheng Yang Immortal Sect!"

Upon hearing the Lake God's words, Su Yi's eyes lit up, and she shouted to Yin Chaoge, "Chaoge, wait! Don't kill our own people!"

Hearing Su Yi's words, Yin Chaoge, who was stacking swords in a stance, put away his sword with some regret, turned around and snorted coldly before returning to the ship with a look of pity.

At this moment, the statue that the lake god had conjured was only as tall as a person. From being more than ten meters tall to being as tall as a person, it looked like a pencil stub that had been sharpened.

They stood obediently in the middle of the lake, as well-behaved as primary school students preparing for morning exercises, waiting for the teacher to give orders.

Having given the stick, one should naturally offer a sweet treat. Su Yi leaped down beside the Lake God and discreetly slipped a mid-grade spirit stone into his hand. With a smile, Su Yi asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"I am the lake god of this eight-hundred-mile-long lake. Entrusted by the Lord of the Prefecture, I have come to escort you to the Zheng Yang Immortal Sect!" The lake god, having confirmed that the mid-grade spirit stone in his hand was genuine, immediately spoke with a beaming smile.

"Hey, we're on the same side. When you yelled just now, I thought you were going to kill me. I thought, it can't be that bad. I'm on such good terms with Lord Maodie. In Lord Maodie's territory, who would be so blind as to kill me?" Su Yi said, pretending to suddenly realize something.

However, her words not only implied that she had a close relationship with the old man, but she also blamed him for scaring her when he appeared, which prompted her to act rashly.

The lake god, who had been a god for a long time, naturally understood the meaning behind Su Yi's words. In other words, he was lucky to have been stabbed. If Su Yi went to the Lord of the Prefecture to complain about him, he would definitely make him suffer a lot!

You get stabbed and still have to apologize? What kind of world is this?

With a bitter face, the Lake God subtly stuffed the mid-grade spirit stone back into Su Yi's hand, along with a high-grade water-type spirit stone, and looked at Su Yi with a somewhat ingratiating expression, saying, "Immortal Master is right to reprimand me; I was being reckless."

"Hey, this lake god really knows what he's doing!" Su Yi touched the spirit stone in his hand, and his face, which had been sighing, immediately lit up with a smile.

Su Yi slapped the lake god, who had materialized from the lake water, causing water to splash everywhere, and said enthusiastically, "Lord Lake God, you are too kind. The Lord of the Prefecture asked you to escort us to the Zhengyang Immortal Sect, but you still went out of your way to help us cultivate. If the Lord of the Prefecture knew that you were such a good deity, he would surely be very pleased!"

Unexpectedly, instead of successfully breaking the bamboo bar, he ended up losing a high-grade spirit stone. Not only did he have to compensate the other party with spirit stones after being hit, but he also had to thank them.

The cultivators from that immortal sect are truly ruthless; they actually use their power to oppress others!

The Lake God forced a smile and respectfully bowed to Su Yi, saying, "Thank you, Immortal Master, for speaking well of me before the Lord of the Underworld. Thank you, Immortal Master!"

At this moment, Lake God no longer wanted to get entangled with the other party and just wanted to get rid of these plagues as soon as possible!

"Then how will the Lake God send us to the Zhengyang Immortal Sect?" Su Yi asked, looking at the Lake God.

Finally hearing the important matter, the Lake God dared not delay for a moment and hurriedly said, "The place where the Immortal Master cultivates is one of the Thirty-Six Primordial Heavens, which is in the mortal realm yet not in the mortal realm. Mortals have no great fortune or opportunity to seek immortality. This eight-hundred-mile-long lake is the entrance to the Zhengyang Immortal Sect!"

"The Prefect is so kind of you, he actually escorted us all the way to the entrance!" Su Yi exclaimed, her words constantly mentioning the Prefect.

The Lake God quickly said, "Please, all you immortal masters, be seated firmly on the wooden boat. I will now open the gate to the Zhengyang Immortal Sect for you!"

Upon hearing the lake god's words, Su Yi stopped arguing with him and turned back to the wooden boat.

The wooden boat slowly floated on the still lake, as if it were resting on a mirror. Occasionally, ripples would appear, which were the fish playing underwater.

As the wooden boat moved, the lake became calmer and calmer, and the lake surface, reflecting the sky, seemed to be the same color as the sky.

The seamless blend of sky and lake colors makes the wooden boats appear to be sailing in the sky.

The wooden boat moved slowly, the waves gradually subsided, and the bow of the boat began to sink. At this moment, Yin Chaoge and Gu Wanquan simultaneously gripped their swords.

From the moment the bow of the boat submerged until the stern disappeared into the lake, the entire lake surface remained completely undisturbed.

But at the very moment the bow of the boat submerged, it rose again from the waters of a large lake.

In the blink of an eye, the scenery changed so drastically that everyone felt a slight pause in their breathing. The group of people sitting on the wooden boat found themselves in an unfamiliar large lake.

The lake seemed to be the same lake, but the surrounding scenery had suddenly changed.

Without the lush greenery and surrounded by a ring of mountains, the entire lake looks as if it sits in a volcanic crater.

Surrounded by ethereal mist and rich spiritual energy, the group felt as if they had returned from a junkyard to a lavishly decorated palace with each breath, giving Su Yi and the others the illusion of returning to their sect.

The sudden shift from the mortal realm to a paradise made Su Yi and the others feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Even the tipsy Chen Feng slowly woke up and sat up blankly:

"Huh? We've arrived at the sect?"
