Chapter 180.1: A True God Falls: A Sword Slays the Petty
The rain poured endlessly, drenching the land for days. Sarwolf stepped out of the divine temple, his gaze cold and devoid of emotion.
The commander of the temple guards hurried forward and bowed respectfully. "My lord!"
"How are the villages below?" Sarwolf asked. He had been preoccupied with the plague these days.
The guard commander's expression darkened. "As of today, all of the villages have fallen under Clearwater Village's control."
Sarwolf paused, clearly surprised. "That Qiyuann Sovereign is bold!"
Although he had turned a blind eye to the new god's expansion, most ancient gods would never dare act so openly! Even Ruo Yu, the ancient god of Sandstone Town, did all he could to keep a low profile. He was as timid as a quail and never once provoked the new gods.
"My lord, should I take some guards and bring him here?" the commander offered.
He didn’t take Qiyuann Sovereign seriously at all. In Gale Wind Town alone, the temple guards consisted of over thirty Violet Palace cultivators. If they wanted to, they could undoubtedly wipe out the tiny Clearwater Village.
Sarwolf's eyes narrowed as he recalled the terrifying aura from before. "Do not engage for now."
He had a feeling that a True God could be lurking nearby. It was better to lie low. Once the new god descended, he could deal with Qiyuann Sovereign instead.
The commander nodded. "The people of Goldstone Town have been growing restless lately. Since you haven't taken action against Clearwater Village, many are planning to head over there."
Not long ago, Nangong Wujin had struck down the god of Goldstone Town, plunging it into chaos and causing several new village-level gods to fight for power. Hence, many villagers were preparing to flee to Clearwater Village and seek refuge under the increasingly prominent Qiyuann Sovereign.
