In an instant, the entire area fell silent.

Following that, a sound of "thud, thud" could be heard.

Inside and outside the venue, North Wind Disciples were kneeling on the ground.

Throughout Beifeng City, including the streets outside the ancient city, rows of people knelt down.

In previous years, people could only catch a glimpse of the gods at the Worship God Platform on the first day of the sixth lunar month.

And today, on the third day of the lunar new year, did a divine presence actually appear?

High above in the sky, the huge phantom of a god permeated with a majestic heavenly might!

He wore a snow-white cape and had a silver crown that tied his hair up.

Mighty and stern!

His overwhelming aura crushed the insignificant humans below.

Divine·Beifeng!

"Lord Beifeng, Lord Beifeng..."

Liao Wushuang was both shocked and overjoyed, looking up at the sky, murmuring to herself.

It was well-known:

The high gods regarded all beings as mere ants.

Why would they condescend to judge these lowly ants?

And the character of Divine·Beifeng was rather cold.

Thus, when Liao Wushuang called for the divine apparition, she did not harbor much hope.

But Lord Beifeng came!

When Liao Wushuang mentioned the Life and Death Contract, there was no reaction from the god.

When she spoke of being a devout Believer for ​​thirty years, the god also did not react.

But when she mentioned fighting in the Demon Cave and shedding blood for her sect for thirty years...

Divine·Beifeng really came!

It seemed that total devotion to one's sect could indeed earn the mercy of the gods.

"Please, Lord Beifeng, vindicate me!"

At the brink of joyful tears, Liao Wushuang bowed her head deeply into the snow.

Under the great heavenly might, all beings knelt and worshiped.

Even Hu Cheng, a man of peak mortal power, also knelt on the ground, bowing his head respectfully.

It seemed as if only two people were still standing in the world.

Lu Ran and Deng Yuxiang.

Strictly speaking, Deng Yuxiang was supposed to kneel reverently as well.

Yet, she was soulless at the moment, heavily impacted mentally and physically, and unresponsive to the external affairs.

"Huh..."

Lu Ran, smelling the pungent blood from the person in his arms, took a deep sigh of relief.

This matter,

Could end here with Liao Wushuang.

Lu Ran was ready to admit his guilt, and he had prepared to owe favors and make compensations.

However, there was no chance to negotiate with Liao Wushuang!

Lu Ran faintly felt that Liao Wushuang's intention towards Deng Yuxiang was not merely pure murderous intent but also held other minor psychological factors...

It was the kind that utterly precluded discussion!

This matter,

Could also be escalated to the sect level, resolving it with Hu Cheng.

Hu Jiaojiao, who had a life-and-death relationship with Deng Yuxiang and was Hu Cheng's own granddaughter,

With this connection, and his own status as Sect Master, everything still had room for maneuver.

Hu Jiaojiao had revealed: the Life and Death Contract was signed before the Divine Sculpture with no room for manipulation; no one could intervene during the battle.

Since that was the case, Lu Ran threw himself into the fray!

You want a loophole?

I'll give you one!

It turned out that Lu Ran's thoughts were right, and the Beifeng City Lord set the tone in a few words.

However, just when the Beifeng City Lord was rebuking Lu Ran, trying to propose a solution, Liao Wushuang disrupted the situation.

She had burst the heavens!

She gave Lu Ran the one result he least wanted—the questioning of the gods!

Now things were really blown out of proportion.

Lu Ran sighed inwardly, looking up at the god high above all beings.

"Lord Immortal Goat."

Lu Ran had no choice but to ask the esteemed ancestor of the Immortal Goat to step in.

Think about the Great Sage Equalling Heaven; even with heaven-reaching abilities, he still had to go to heaven to find someone.

I'll also seek help,

No shame in that~

Suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky!

It made Lu Ran's legs tremble, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead quickly.

Such a terrifying aura!

Divine·Beifeng was already immensely imposing, and now his gigantic eyes were locking onto Lu Ran.

"Lord Immortal Goat!" Lu Ran cried out in his heart, "Lord Immortal Goat!!"

"Hmm?"

Finally, a voice came in his mind.

A casual reply, but it filled Lu Ran's heart with blooming joy!

Master save me!

Lu Ran couldn't even catch his breath when he urgently responded, "I've caused a big mess!"

"You?" The voice of Immortal Goat was hoarse, intriguingly, "Causing trouble? That's rare."

The world knew of Divine·Immortal Goat's doting on Lu Ran.

But for such a long time, Lu Ran really hadn't caused any trouble.

On the contrary, Lu Ran had again and again met Lord Immortal Goat's expectations.

Although there was the incident of failing to properly combine with the Body of Substitute, from Lu Ran's overall discipleship, it was still barely a blemish.

Now, Lu Ran being so panicky and anxious, saying he caused a big mess?

Divine·Immortal Goat was truly intrigued!

Lu Ran quickly reported the situation.

"Hiss..."

Before he could finish, Lu Ran suddenly gasped.

He hurriedly pressed down on Deng Yuxiang's head, shielding her in his embrace.

The overwhelming presence seemed about to completely crush him!

The people kneeling in the distance also trembled and some sneaked glances over here.

Seeing Lu Ran and Deng Yuxiang still standing, the North Wind Disciples were dumbfounded.

Lu Tianjiao, are you really seeking death?

Yes, you indeed are not a North Wind Believer, but the fault lies with you, and the god has come specifically to hold you accountable.

Aren't you going to kneel?

"Lord Immortal Goat, I..." Lu Ran was pale.

"Huh!"

Energy surged, and Immortal Fog erupted!

The pressure on Lu Ran suddenly lightened, and a phantom boldly appeared!

Divine·Immortal Goat!

It was clad in a white jade robe, and though it was a phantom, it shimmered with the luster of a fat lamb jade.

Under the warm sunlight, that expansive white jade robe sparkled with a strange sheen, also shielding Lu Ran and Deng Yuxiang under it.

Not far away in the snow, the bowing Hu Cheng twitched his eyelids.

How immense was the phantom of Lord Immortal Goat?

Certainly not smaller than the 200-meter-tall Stone Sculpture!

That white jade robe naturally brought the Beifeng City Lord and all the surrounding disciples at the Martial Arts Arena under its refuge.

It was unexpected that a conflict among the human race would escalate to this level.

Even the two sect masters couldn't resolve it.

The god himself had personally attended!

High above in the sky, Beifeng looked displeasured, eyeing the suddenly appeared Immortal Goat.

Immortal Goat, however, was smiling amiably, giving a courteous bow to Beifeng.

One in the heavens, and one on the earth.

The two divine beings gazed at each other from a distance.

The gods did not speak, no one knew what they were communicating.

The human race naturally didn't dare to speak; apart from trembling in worship, they dared not make any other movement.

And the scene of the two gods meeting brought everything inside and outside the ancient city to a "standstill."

Especially in the further districts of the city.

Citizens in the street corners, behind the windows of tall buildings, distanced from the ancient city area, felt less psychological pressure.

Many didn't kneel but gaped at the scene.

"Is the god in the sky Lord... Lord Beifeng?"

"Yes! The one standing in the city is Lord Immortal Goat!"

"Truly an eye-opener! What are these two gods up to?"

"I have no idea!"

"Right, today is the third day of the first lunar month! Maybe, Lord Immortal Goat is here to give New Year's greetings?"

"Quick, look! There's a change!"

High in the sky, Beifeng's expression turned cold, reverting to an expressionless state.

While the Immortal Goat in the city center, was still grinning, gave another courteous bow.

Does this mean a resolution has been reached?

"Huh~"

Indeed, the phantom of Immortal Goat quietly vanished, like a dream or illusion.

"Let's go." A voice transmission suddenly descended, imprinting into Lu Ran's mind.

"Ah?" Lu Ran was stunned.

Is it over just like that? Lord Immortal Goat's influence is so great?

Lord Immortal Goat blandly said, "Leave Beifeng City."

Lu Ran couldn't care for more, hurriedly grateful, "Thank you, Lord Immortal Goat, then my sister...?"

At the same time, not far away, Liao Wushuang had been murmuring with her head bowed, "...Lord Beifeng, this is everything I have encountered.

Wushuang carries Divine Weapons, loyal and devoted to the Beifeng Sect, having shed blood for thirty years.

This unresolved duel to the death, I implore Lord Beifeng to arbitrate."

Divine·Beifeng coldly glanced downward, noticing the critically injured, half-dead Deng Yuxiang.

That Life and Death Contract,

Indeed was signed before him.

Since the battle had already determined the victor, the fate of life and death was naturally decided!

Divine·Beifeng looked at Deng Yuxiang as if looking at an ant.

What Jiang Realm Great Power, what outstanding talents.

Mere ants.

Following that, Beifeng's gaze turned slightly colder.

He watched that defiant Immortal Sheep Believer who disregarded the Life and Death Contract and the authority of the gods...

Slowly, Beifeng reached out one hand.

"Pfft!" Deng Yuxiang suddenly spat a mouthful of blood in Lu Ran's arms.

"Sister? Sister Yuxiang?" Lu Ran turned pale suddenly, raising his head to look at Beifeng.

"Huh!!"

Inside Lu Ran, the phantom of Immortal Sheep abruptly expanded.

Its size became incredibly majestic, towering into the heavens!

"Ah ah ah ah!!"

As the Immortal Goat appeared, Deng Yuxiang suddenly screamed in agony, her voice extremely shrill.

Her eyes rolled back, and she tightly clutched her head.

If it weren't for Deng Yuxiang possessing the body of the Jiang Realm, she would have died from excessive blood loss long ago.

Even though she transformed and was no longer a regular human, at this moment, she was half-dead!

In this state, Deng Yuxiang should not have made a sound, should not have had any movement.

It was hard to imagine the intense pain she was experiencing!

"Buzz!!"

A vibrating noise came from high above in the sky.

Around Beifeng's phantom, Energy Fluctuations were particularly intense.

Earth-shattering!

And in Divine·Beifeng's eyes, a hint of indignation appeared as he looked at Divine·Immortal Goat.

Immortal Goat, reappearing, was still smiling, once again giving a courteous bow to Beifeng.

No one knew what specifically happened in those few seconds.

People were just kneeling, trembling.

Again, two divine beings, one in the heavens and one on the earth, faced each other from afar.

The atmosphere seemed somewhat tense.

No, it was Divine·Beifeng unilaterally showing anger.

Divine·Immortal Goat still maintained a friendly demeanor, smiling towards the sky.

"Lord Immortal Goat?"

"Hmph, Beifeng wants to take the life of your beloved, to retrieve her soul and energy essence."

Lu Ran tensed inwardly, Beifeng wanted to take Deng Yuxiang's life?

So, was that why she suddenly vomited blood?

Another voice transmission entered his mind: "You've created this mess, just wanting to save her life...

This person, I'll help you save!

I forcibly severed her contract with Beifeng, Beifeng can't take her away!"

Lu Ran: !!!

So, was that why Deng Yuxiang clutched her head and screamed?

Was it because the pact between the Believer and the god was broken?

"I know the person in your arms is exceptionally talented, she can join your forces, becoming your aid in the future.

But remember this, Lu Ran."

"Disciple is here!"

Immortal Goat's voice was hoarse, the tone dark, "Shortly, I will present energy essence as a compensation gift.

After all, this is Beifeng's territory, and I have compromised his dignity.

Remember this!

The compensation I give today, you must reclaim a hundredfold from Beifeng in the future!"

Lu Ran looked at Deng Yuxiang in his arms, who was nearly deprived of her life and almost shattered in soul.

He bowed his head, a trace of hatred flickering in his eyes:

"Yes!"

Immortal Goat looked at Beifeng, sensing the swirling emotions within Lu Ran's heart.

Immortal Goat's smile deepened, and once more, he transmitted a message:

"If in the future, the person in your arms could replace Beifeng's position...

That would be even more interesting."
