In the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake, Elder Quan stood in front of the All Realms Instrument with a sullen face and asked a disciple, "When did this happen?"
Just Now, he received a report that two Realms that had not received any response had suddenly disappeared without a trace. Even the All Realms Instrument could not find the two Realms. Now that he had checked, he found that it was indeed the case.
The disciple replied, "I have been on duty here. When I saw the abnormality, I immediately came to report."
Elder Quan felt that this matter could not be taken lightly and immediately went to Liu Yanyi to explain the situation.
After Liu Yanyi received the report, she calculated for a while but did not find any results. After thinking for a while, she left the underwater palace and went straight to Xuanyuan Heaven.
When she arrived at the gate of Qinghuan Palace, she reported a little and was called in. When she entered the hall, she greeted her teacher and reported the matter.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I know about this matter. There is no need to look for it for the time being. We will find out soon."
The sky was dark and heavy rain was pouring down.
Wu Shangqiu looked outside from the tall building of the manor. The ghostly face that appeared that day was still lingering in front of him. When he first saw the scene, he wanted to look again, but found that there was only a piece of scorched earth below. There was nothing else, as if it was just an illusion. In particular, he asked Liu Qiuhua, who was with him at that time, but the latter said that she did not see anything, which made him feel very uneasy.
However, he did not have the mood to think about this now. Since the day he returned to Liuhuai Manor, it had been raining cats and dogs. It had been raining for more than 30 days now, and countless farmlands and houses had been flooded.
If it were not for the formation that he had set up around Liuhuai Manor and the high terrain, it would have become a country of water by now.
However, if the rain did not stop, the people would die. At that time, even if the manor was saved, what use would it be?
He sighed. He could restrain fiendish ghosts, but he was helpless against this kind of natural force of creation.
At this time, Liu Qiuhua walked in. Seeing his appearance, she persuaded, "Husband, do not blame yourself. This is the will of Heaven, not something that can be changed by humans."
Wu Shangqiu didn't say anything. He didn't have a solution, but if the Enlightened Master of the Heavenly Abode was here, it wouldn't be difficult for him to solve all of this. In the end, it was because he didn't have enough skills. If he had enough skills, he could make heaven's will follow his heart.
Liu Ju's voice sounded from outside, "Mister, Manor Lord, Linping Manor and Golden Pot Manor have sent word that they have found a way to stop the rain."
Wu Shangqiu was startled. He looked at Liu Qiuhua and said, "Let's talk inside."
Liu Ju entered the room and bowed respectfully.
Liu Qiu Hua asked: "What is going on?"
Liu Gou said, "The two village masters have sent a message, saying that as long as we open the altar and worship the heaven and earth, we will be able to avoid the disaster."
Liu Qiuhua frowned and said, "Are the two villages joking?"
Wu Shangqiu's eyes focused. The word 'worship' touched his sensitive nerves. He asked, "Where did this news come from?"
Liu Gou said, "This first came from the Memorial Hall. It was said that a group of villagers were trapped on the mountain and they were doomed. However, a shaman took the lead and prayed to heaven and earth. Unexpectedly, after a day, the rain gradually stopped and after a few days, the water subsided. That place is now covered by the clouds and rain."
Liu Qiuhua said, "Can you be sure?"
Liu Gou said, "When the message came, it said that the two village masters are already preparing. We will know if there is any result after asking them."
Liu Qiuhua turned her head and said, "Husband, can we give it a try here?" To her, setting up an altar and worshipping the heaven and earth, even if it was useless, it wouldn't be a loss for them to give it a try.
Wu Shangqiu, however, frowned and felt that something was wrong.
How could there be such a coincidence? Just Now, when the rain was pouring, there was a ritual that could stop the rain? He couldn't help but think of the ghost face again.
However, he didn't deny it immediately. What if the situation was different from what he guessed? He thought about it and said, "This is weird. Let me go and take a look first!"
He didn't waste any time. After giving his instructions, he immediately left on a light.
He left for two days. Just Now, he returned. However, he looked much better than when he left.
There was indeed someone who took the lead in worshipping the heaven and earth. However, it wasn't a shaman. It was a group of priests who claimed to be from the Golden Palace. They were really worshipping the heaven and earth, not the gods and ghosts that he imagined.
Worshipping the heaven and earth also existed in the nine states of the mountain and sea. It wasn't forbidden. Of course, the heaven and earth wouldn't stop just because you worshipped them. He could clearly see that the people from the Golden Palace used a high-level instrument to stop the rain. He didn't know how they managed to make it, but it wasn't out of the rut of using spiritual opportunity.
After the priests from the Golden Palace were done, they left. It seemed that they only came out to solve the rain. However, it was also because of this that he didn't take out the Escape Pearl again.
Liu Qiuhua came up to him and asked with concern, "Husband, how is it?"
Wu Shangqiu shook his head and said, "I need to go into seclusion for a few days. Madam, please look after me. Don't let anyone disturb me." Then, he hid in the room.
Liu Qiuhua could only wait patiently. As she waited, another three days passed. During this period of time, she received news that the rain stopped after the sacrificial ceremony. She was also anxious. The land around Willow Huai Manor was originally filled with water, and now it was overflowing. Every day, many people died.
Luckily, Wu Shangqiu finally came out of seclusion. He said, "The worship method can't be used. There might be hidden dangers. I thought of a solution these few days."
He didn't want to use the Golden Palace's method. Although it could solve the problem, he couldn't get the ghost face out of his mind. Moreover, it was related to the worship. Even though there seemed to be no problem, he didn't want to try it.
Cultivators had the ability to summon the wind and rain. He was a Mystic Light Realm cultivator now. He couldn't do anything to the whole world, but he could make sure that he didn't lose a single place.
He didn't do it at first because it would be too conspicuous if he did. Moreover, if he didn't solve the problem elsewhere, it would return to its original state in a few days at most. That would be meaningless, so he had to wait.
Now, the time was right.
He immediately ordered his subordinates to set up an altar and a formation around it. Then, he went up the altar and cast a spell. One day later, the clouds broke through the sky and rays of golden light returned to the ground.
After doing this, he was slightly relieved.
Because the priests from the Golden Palace had left long ago, even if the Liuhuai Manor solved the problem, people would only think that it was because of the worship of the ghost god. They wouldn't think of anything else.
However, after this incident, his ten years of hard work had gone down the drain.
However, he didn't feel disheartened. He was confident that as long as he had enough time, ten years, twenty years, not only could the world return to normal, he could even do better than before.
However, he didn't know that after the Heavenly Fire, although the world was still the same, some places were different. Moreover, an even greater danger was coming.
Half a month later, as various places offered sacrifices to the heavens and earth, the rain gradually stopped and the water receded.
However, at this time, a rumor started to spread. It said that it wasn't a natural disaster, but a curse. However, it wasn't that the person who suppressed the curse wasn't strong enough. Instead, someone did something that went against the will of the heavens, which caused the heavens to be angry.
Although Wu Shangqiu heard about it, he didn't pay much attention to it. One night, when he was meditating, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the aura outside. After looking carefully, he realized that there were more than a hundred auras around the manor. A strong sense of uneasiness rose in his heart. He immediately came out.
Liu Ju hurried over and said, "Mister, Just Now, more than ten manor lords have arrived at our manor …"
At this moment, Liu Qiuhua also came out and said, "Husband?"
Wu Shangqiu said in a deep voice, "They don't come with good intentions. Madam, take care of Zhong 'er and Nan' er. I'll be outside." After taking a step forward, he stopped and said, "Madam, do you still remember the instrument I gave you?"
Liu Qiuhua seemed to have realized something and said, "I remember."
Wu Shangqiu said, "If you feel that something is wrong, don't hesitate."
Liu Qiuhua said with a serious expression, "Husband, don't worry. I'll be here."
Wu Shangqiu nodded and then strode out. When he arrived at the main hall, he realized that it was already filled with people.
Not only the manor lords that he was on good terms with in the past, but there were also a few powerful sect masters. He frowned unconsciously. Other than being unable to fly, these people's combat ability was similar to his. Of course, this was under the situation where he didn't use any treasures.
An old man in grey clothes, a crown, and a jade belt stood out and bowed. He said, "Mister Wu, I hope that I didn't disturb you."
Wu Shangqiu looked at the crowd and said, "Since you're already here, there's no need to say that I'm disturbing you. I wonder why you've come to my Liuhuai Manor in the middle of the night?"
The old man thought for a while and said, "Things have to be made clear eventually, so I won't beat around the bush. Mister Wu, you know that the rain was able to stop this time because the Golden Palace's priests brought the method of worshipping heaven and earth. However, before they left, they said that the disaster this time was because someone messed with the heaven's secret." “
Wu Shangqiu heard this and frowned. "Let's not talk about whether this is right or wrong. What does this have to do with me?"
The old man looked at him with a burning gaze and said, "Then I'd like to ask you, how did you deal with Tian Sha this time?"
Wu Shangqiu was slightly shocked, but his expression did not change. He said, "Of course I worshipped heaven and earth. Didn't you see that my Liuhuai Manor also built an altar?"
A scholar in white sneered and said, "I'm afraid not." He stood up. "We've already asked the Golden Palace's priests, but they said that they've never come to Liuhuai Manor to perform a ritual."
Wu Shangqiu sighed in his heart. He knew that he could not hide it anymore. The Golden Palace was definitely behind everyone's visit this time. He raised his head and said calmly, "I did use other methods."
Hearing him admit it, there was a commotion below. The scholar in white pointed at him and said sternly, "Wu Shangqiu, you obviously had a method, but why didn't you take it out? Why did you sit back and watch the people suffer? "
Wu Shangqiu really could not explain it clearly. He said, "I have my difficulties. Moreover, this rain caused the world to suffer, and it did not benefit me at all. If I could solve this, I would have taken it out long ago. "
"Benefit?"
The scholar in white sneered again and said, "Then let me ask you, where are you from, and where are you from?"
Everyone's gazes focused on Wu Shangqiu the moment these words left his mouth.
