The thick demonic power that had just built a shield was easily torn apart, and the Black Wind that was trying to merge into a physical form of a local deity also disintegrated bit by bit under the sword light.

The Black Wind Mountain God felt every muscle in his body shaking constantly, his Spirit Soul letting out a desperate wail under that sword light.

Since his birth, he had never felt so close to death. The irresistible sword light seemed to completely obliterate his flesh and Spirit Soul. Such a blow was far too strong to be taken by someone at the Qi Transformation Stage.

Fear, regret, and anger intertwined. In such a crisis, the Black Wind Mountain God could only mobilize every ounce of his strength to activate the Mountain God Seal within his body.

A seal the size of a palm seemed to have gathered the spirits of the entire Black Wind Mountain. The moment it appeared, it caused mountain tremors, and a huge mountain phantom emerged from Black Wind Mountain under his feet, converging the power of the mountain.

However, the sword light merely paused for a moment, then the mountain phantom instantly cracked and exploded. The sword light directly slashed towards the original body of the Black Wind Mountain God.

“Mountain Lord, save me!”

The Black Wind Mountain God could no longer maintain his calm, and under the threat of death, he let out a desperate roar.

The next moment, the mountains trembled. It seemed like the will of the local deities concentrated in the mountains had responded to the call of the Black Wind Mountain God and the profound force of the earth continuously surged onto his body.

The sword light collided with this endless earth force, wiping out all its power in a flash.

Blood splattered everywhere, and a huge sword mark almost severed the body of the Black Wind Mountain God. His massive body heavily hit the ground, with a large amount of blood gushing out.

However, thankfully, the Mountain God Seal and the continuous force of the earth had finally gained a glimmer of survival for the Black Wind Mountain God, and the massive body still hinted some vitality.

Residing within Black Wind Mountain, the Mountain God Seal was still continuously extracting the vitality of the entire mountain range to replenish his nearly depleted body.

“He actually survived.”

Shen Yuan was somewhat surprised.

He had not deliberately held back his strength in this strike. He wanted to test what the Black Wind Mountain God had up his sleeve.

But he didn’t expect that a strike not even the Fubo Dragon Monarch could withstand was somehow resisted by the Black Wind Mountain God, who was merely at the peak of Qi Transformation Stage.

Of course, this didn’t mean that the Black Wind Mountain God was stronger than the Fubo Dragon Monarch, but rather the uniqueness of the Earth Deities and the augmenting power of the earth let him outshine the Fubo Dragon Monarch, who had been stripped of his Water God’s authority, in his ability to survive.

His sword had almost slain the Black Bear Spirit, and the surviving villagers of the Hea Family Village looking at Shen Yuan were filled with both reverence and fear.

Shen Yuan ignored these villagers and looked at the Black Wind Mountain God who was struggling to get up from the pool of blood.

The Black Wind Mountain God roared in anger:

“You should not have appeared here.

You have violated the agreement between Great Xia’s Imperial Court and us.”

Shen Yuan gave a indifferent smile: “What does the agreement of the Great Xia’s Imperial Court have to do with me?”

“But due to your efforts, you have managed to secure a chance of survival for yourself.

Tell me the truth behind this so-called Mountain God and these captive villagers, and I may spare your life.”

The Black Wind Mountain God widened his eyes: “Really?”

Shen Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, a faint smile still on his face. However, in the next moment, the Black Wind Mountain God heard a crisp sound of sword humming. The feeling of death once again engulfed his entire body.

“Do you have a choice?”

The Black Wind Mountain God had a complicated expression, with thoughts surging in his mind, but eventually he sighed deeply and said:

“I was originally a monster from the Black Wind Mountain. After receiving the Imperial Edict of the Yunfu Mountain Lord, I became the Black Wind Mountain God.”

“As Mountain Gods and Earth Deities, we feed on the faith of people. Although there are a lot of humans in the outside world, with Great Xia’s Imperial Court’s control, it’s impossible to grow our faith.

Hence, we can only imprison some villagers, cut off contact with the outside world, and draw on the power of their faith.”

The words of the Black Wind Mountain God were not veiled, and many villagers widened their eyes, encountering the truth of the Yunfu Mountains for the first time.

“The requirement of the Mountain Gods and Earth Deities for the power of faith is huge. Especially if one wants to use the power of faith to quickly advance, the required faith reaches a terrifying level.

However, the number of villagers in the Yunfu Mountains is limited. We can’t increase the number of villagers in a short time, so we can only improve the quality of faith provided by the villagers.”

At this point, the Black Wind Mountain God paused and looked at Shen Yuan.

He wasn’t afraid of how these ordinary villagers would react upon knowing the truth; he truly feared only Shen Yuan.

“The way to improve faith quality is to put these villagers in dangerous environemnts.

The more dangerous the environment, the more they will put all their hopes on deities, thinking that the deities they refuse are their only salvation.”

“So I cut off their communication with the outside of Yunfu Mountain, telling them that the outside of Yunfu Mountain has been completely occupied by monsters and only the interior of the mountain is safe.

I destroyed all their fields, so they could only look for food outside.

I would protect them in the name of the Mountain God, but sometimes arrange for monster attacks at the right time.

Under the threat of daily survival, these humans can provide a large amount of high-quality faith, and occasionally spreading small favors would make them feel grateful.”
