Everyone was caught between a rock and a hard place when they heard this.
Patriarch Zhou looked at the Nether Spiritualist.
The Nether Spiritualist was clearly pondering over Patriarch Zhou's words.
On the other hand, Zheng Yu, who was quietly observing the situation, was extremely terrified!
Hong Mo had actually set up such a trap!
In other words, even if he sacrificed River Lady for the sake of the majority of the people, the end result would be the entire Xi Lao City being washed away by the raging river. River Lady's death would lead to an even greater disaster!
River Lady herself represented a kind of disaster!!!
A predicament where no matter what choice he made, he would fail miserably!
Hong Mo was trying to drive him crazy. He was trying to drag him, the Earth Temple God, into the abyss of sin!
If he took a wrong step, his Godhood would be taken away. Hong Mo could even use the Sin God's Punishment to curse him to death!!
Zheng Yu already felt a chill down his spine.
Was this a spell that Hong Mo had meticulously set up for him??
Did everyone who died under Hong Mo's curse suffer the same kind of torture? If their hearts were even slightly shaken, if they did not calmly analyze the entire situation, they would be consigned to eternal damnation!!
"Then what should we do?? We can't just leave us with nothing and wait to be drowned! "Patriarch Zhou was completely panicking.
"Patriarch Zhou, there are ghosts and devils in this world. Naturally, there are immortals and gods that protect you. You should try your best to calm everyone down and make sure that they are not influenced by evil spirits. You can't let those ghosts and devils control your lives and fates." The woman under the black umbrella continued.
"But …"
"How can you believe the words of ghosts? They will only do everything possible to harm you. If they want you to kill River Lady, they will want you all dead." The woman under the black umbrella continued.
The woman under the black umbrella's words were very persuasive. Zheng Yu could see a special ray of light hovering above the woman's head. Even though she purposely covered it with the black umbrella, Zheng Yu still knew that she was a God.
The woman under the black umbrella was a God.
She was the God from the Goddess Temple in River State that he had passed by!
As the Earth Temple God who was in charge of the human world, he could not reveal his identity when dealing with the affairs of the people. Otherwise, his God power would be weakened.
Zheng Yu could not tell the people that he was the godly official of the Earth Temple. Once his godly power was weakened, Zheng Yu would not be able to fight against Hong Mo anymore!
Back in the Northern Desert, Zheng Yu had already fought with Hong Mo. Their divine techniques had kept each other in check, and neither could do anything to the other. That was why Hong Mo had used all sorts of methods to deal with Zheng Yu, weakening his divine power, suppressing his Godhood, and even causing Zheng Yu to make mistakes and sins in the handling of his Godhood.
Similarly, as a deity, the woman under the black umbrella was only attached to the body of an ordinary woman who was selling umbrellas, and guided her patiently and patiently.
However, as a local god, the image she had created and the kindness she had shown these people caused her to imperceptibly exude a kind of temperament. This temperament made it seem as if they had met the real Goddess of Earth Temple. They would subconsciously listen to her and do as she said.
Ghosts and deities brought uneasiness to people, and she correspondingly dispelled people's anxiety.
The ghosts and deities used threats and promises to make people step into the abyss of sin step by step. Similarly, the gods and deities were guiding and exhorting so that people could climb out of the quagmire bit by bit.
It had to be said that the appearance of this woman had helped Zheng Yu to breathe a sigh of relief.
From the death of the drunkard temple god until now, Hong Mo had been pressing on step by step, setting up all sorts of traps for Zheng Yu to fall into so that he could be executed. Zheng Yu himself had almost fallen into the dilemma of whether to save the River Lady or the people of the city.
Everyone, let go of the River Lady first. Let me say a few words to her. Everyone, don't scare her. Although she is a demon, she has never done anything outrageous. Her mother was the Rain Master, and she had also made mistakes and sins. However, whether it was the Rain Master or the River Lady's father, they have been protecting you for so many years in order to repay the sins of the past. Under the Eternal Night, if everyone only sees darkness, then you will never see the light of day. If everyone maintains a kind heart and maintains the principles of being human, we can eventually overcome the difficulties together. "Zheng Yu finally spoke at this time.
Now that he was pleading for the River Lady, everyone finally listened.
If it was before, Zheng Yu would most likely be regarded as an accomplice by everyone. Then, no matter what he said next, it would have the opposite effect. The gods could only guide him patiently. If he lost the trust of the people around him and was controlled by the demons, the result would be a tragedy.
"She's a demon. She's here to harm people." The woman said.
"Auntie, everything needs to be based on evidence. Whether she has harmed anyone or not, we don't have any real evidence, nor have we seen it with our own eyes. However, think about it carefully. How many ignorant children have Jiang Yukui saved over the years who were swimming in the river? This is obvious to all." The woman under the black umbrella said.
"This …"
"Indeed, she was the one who saved my son, Er Niu Wa."
"Old man Xu, didn't your daughter get lost too? She was the one who found her!"
Everyone quickly recalled the things that the River Lady, Jiang Yukui, had done in the past. The resentment caused by some people at the beginning also dissipated by a lot.
"Let's untie it first. She can't escape anyway." The Nether Spiritualist said.
Everyone untied the talisman rope.
The talisman rope was similar to thorns. Not only did it bind the River Lady, Jiang Yukui, it was also tormenting her.
The pain of the flesh and the anger of the crowd made the River Lady, Jiang Yukui, anxious. She curled up on the ground. Her emerald eyes were filled with fear.
Zheng Yu took off his coat and draped it over her body.
Zheng Yu helped her up and said to Jiang Yukui, "I know you are very scared now. The feeling of being used as a sacrifice is very painful. However, you have been with these people for more than ten years. You should know that they are just ordinary people. They are just as scared as you are. They don't want to harm anyone. Now, they are willing to let go of their prejudice against you. I hope you can forgive their rudeness and misunderstanding of you … "
"I … I really didn't harm anyone. I also didn't want to be a demon …" the River Lady, Jiang Yukui, sobbed.
"You are a River Lady. You were born with the ability to control the river. Go and prove to them that not only will you not harm anyone, you can even become their god of protection!" Zheng Yu continued.
"I … I have never controlled such a fierce flood before. I …" the River Lady, Jiang Yukui, said.
Her magic power was not high.
Furthermore, this was the Great Flood of Blue Rain. It was not just any river.
"Your mother is a Rain Master. Your father is a temple god. You are not a demon in the true sense. You are a water temple god who needs the body of a demon to cultivate. You can do it. You have to believe in yourself!" Zheng Yu said to her.
