The effect it caused could not be matched even by ten peak White Sun Holy Mothers.
The court of the Three Divine Dynasties would absolutely not allow these evil gods to escape alive.
There was only one option left.
Kill Emperor Dui, overthrow the system here, and topple the rule of those evil gods.
"Brother Qing, you are quite familiar with this place. Please lead the way."
"I'll tell you all one more thing: these evil creatures here might disguise themselves as you.
Now, it is confirmed that the Sect Master of the Duobao Sect has probably been killed, and the current Sect Master is an evil creature in disguise.
Please, do not act alone; otherwise, it will be very troublesome."
Yu Ziqing did not care why Dali had spent so much to send people in, but since they dared to venture inside, Yu Ziqing had no reason not to use their strength.
Among the ten newcomers, nine were of the Ninth Tier, along with Wen Lingyou. They stayed together the entire time and never separated, which gave Yu Ziqing the courage to travel with them.
With nine Ninth Tiers, Yu Ziqing's speed of advancement significantly increased.
They directly overran the small city, and when they encountered the first major city, they crushed it as well.
However, when they had thoroughly swept through the small city and advanced to the second major city, an unexpected situation arose.
The City God of this place was missing.
Yu Ziqing released a bucket of filth in the City God Temple, and the seven-story building, as if decayed, collapsed with a roar after just a slight impact from the filth's pollution.
Yu Ziqing took out an empty filth bucket, retrieved the filth, and stood there dumbfounded.
The temple, which was the foundation of the City God, seemed to have already fallen apart, yet its collapse was not caused by him.
The city was bustling; both the incense-eating people and the cultivators of the Incense Fire Dao were constantly fleeing.
"The City God is dead, the City God has been killed..."
Shouts kept emerging, and the morale in the city collapsed utterly.
Yu Ziqing washed the Divine Country with filth once more. After leaving, he arrived at the next major city, only to find the same situation.
The City God and County City God were gone. Only the small earth deities and incense cultivators under the City God's command continued to resist stubbornly.
The temple that served as the foundation was also easily collapsed with a wash of filth.
"This is unusual. It wasn't before; the City God has disappeared."
"I don't think it's possible. Despite the conflict with filth, those evil gods of the Incense Fire Dao shouldn't be this fragile," Wen Lingyou said, frowning in confusion.
"Where did the City Gods go? It seems no one knows, but if earth deities leave their domain, they become like trash. Could they have abandoned their foundation and fled?"
Yu Ziqing was puzzled, the development of affairs suddenly seemed wrong.
In Dingmao City, a stele stood at the center of the nine-story building, with blood light flowing over it, constantly shifting between the divine aura of earth deities and earth devils.
Emperor Dui stood before the stele, with devil patterns slightly emerging at the corners of his eyes.
He heard a voice reporting from behind.
"Your Majesty, the City God and County City God of Jiazi City have been summoned and request an audience."
Soon, two weakened City Gods entered the nine-story building, trembling.
They had left their domains, losing not only their reinforcement but also nearly all of their power.
Now, entering Emperor Dui's nine-story building, they felt overwhelmed and suppressed, completely constrained in their divine power.
The two earth deities stepped forward to present themselves. Emperor Dui turned slowly, his expression indifferent.
"Your Excellencies have worked hard. Now that the bandits are fierce, your Excellencies, guarding the domain, may fall victim to their treachery.
Until matters are resolved, your Excellencies may cultivate here in secret.
Even if the foundation is damaged, there is hope for recovery."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your graciousness. We pledge to serve with all our hearts until death."
The two immediately bowed in gratitude, genuinely afraid.
Currently, the court's main force consisted of earth deities. However, powerful mobile forces, though they existed, were not many.
They had heard that a dozen Ninth-tier evil demons were using the Evil Skill to sweep through everything in their path, unstoppable.
They were indeed fearful of death.
Therefore, upon receiving Emperor Dui's secret summons, they quietly left their domains and arrived in Dingmao City.
Yet as they bowed to thank the emperor, Emperor Dui stepped forward, grabbed both by the top of their heads with a hand each, speaking with a calm tone.
"As you have this intention, how could I not fulfill it? Now, let it be as you wish."
The two City Gods were completely suppressed by Emperor Dui, their power rapidly waning, and even their positions as earth deities tottered.
However, they couldn't even ask why.
All they saw was Emperor Dui's calm face and indifferent eyes.
This was entirely different from what they had imagined.
Moments later, the City Gods' power was completely erased, their positions forcibly seized and devoured by Emperor Dui.
With a wave of his hand, the two now lifeless shells, having lost their divine positions and strength, floated up the building, sitting with closed eyes on one of its floors.
It seemed as if they were still alive, peacefully cultivating in secret under Emperor Dui to save their lives.
"Unfortunately, one City God has already fallen, but devouring the remaining City Gods and County City Gods will be sufficient."
These two were the last City God and County City God.
As for those land deities, river gods, and mountain gods, though numerous, they relied too heavily on their domains, and their power was too weak and less influential. Thus, they were left aside.
