Chapter 2254: Chapter 2249: Divine Will

Tang Ming nodded, "Please have a look, elders of the Niu family."

Tang Ming lifted the Jade Bottle and poured its contents directly onto the demonized land.

As the water dripped onto the demonized soil, the blackness receded quickly. An extremely elderly man beside Niu Hao hurried a few steps, grabbing a handful of the now yellowed earth.

"This... it’s truly purified."

The elderly man turned his head, surprised, looking at Tang Ming.

Tang Ming had only poured out a third of the water from the Jade Bottle, yet the entire patch of land outside the living room was purified. In fact, the Power of Purification hadn’t been exhausted; the retreating blackness had already reached the yard’s edge.

"This water can purify about ten acres of demonized land. According to my recent experiences purifying the demonized lands of the West Desolation, the level of demonization varies in strength. The demonized soil in this yard is weak, hence it’s purified quickly."

The corners of Tang Ming’s mouth slightly turned up, and then he spoke.

The surrounding Niu family members looked at each other in disbelief; no one expected Tang Ming to have studied demonized soil so extensively, even categorizing its level of demonization.

"Nephew Tang Ming."

Niu Hao opened his mouth, trying to cozy up to Tang Ming, for the fields of the Fox Spirit Mountain Range were far inferior to those of Dou Niu Mountain.

But before Niu Hao could speak, a blood-red light suddenly illuminated the Niu family’s village.

Every Niu family member’s eyes focused, and Niu Hao exchanged a glance with Niu Yingzi: "This is the Blood God Temple."

"A divine sign, a divine sign has descended."

Some elderly Niu family members knelt down.

Niu Yingzi took a deep breath, then spoke, "No wonder the water you brought out can purify demonized land; it turns out this is the Blood God’s divine sign. Tang Ming, would you be willing to accompany this old lady to the Blood God Temple? I suspect you have stolen the Blood God’s power."

"Elder, what do you mean by this?"

Tang Ming’s eyes narrowed; matters of faith are always frightening, and many people would do unexpected things because of their faith.

At this moment, the Niu family members displayed their fanatical devotion. Tang Ming and Hu Jiuze were seen as entities that had stolen divine power.

The Niu family believed that these divine signs belonged to them, for, in the entire West Desolation, only the Niu family could restore demonized land to its original state.

Now, Tang Ming also had such abilities. According to the Niu family, the sudden shift in the Blood God Temple was surely a punishment ordained by the Blood God, indicating that Tang Ming, as a blasphemer, should not be a guest of the Niu family.

"Mean? No, no, no, I don’t mean anything by it. I just trust you, Tang Ming, and hope you’d accompany us to the Blood God Temple. After all, in the Blood God’s divine will, only the Blood God’s power can purify demonized land. Now that you’ve brought the Holy Water, granting us a divine sign, I think you are also a follower of the Blood God."

Niu Yingzi gave Niu Hao a glance, and several people instantly surrounded Tang Ming and Hu Jiuze.

Hu Jiuze released the Ghost Fog surrounding her. "Elder Niu, we’ve been friends for a long time. What you’re doing isn’t very appropriate. Remember, Tang Ming is the son of Tang Mosheng."

"The Blood God’s will is everything to my Niu family. We would rather die than disobey. Hu Jiuze, I advise you not to act rashly. The Blood God has only sent down a divine will; this will is not necessarily against you. Making a move now would harm relations. Let us meet the Blood God first."

Niu Yingzi chuckled coldly.

Tang Ming unsheathed his short sword, ready to act, but at that moment, the Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod in his sleeve began vibrating.

As the Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod vibrated, the redness in the sky grew more intense.

A red beam of light descended behind Tang Ming, and the apparition of the Nine-headed Goose Deer appeared behind him.

Tang Ming looked surprised at the apparition of the Nine-headed Goose Deer in the void, while the Niu family members all kneeled down: "Blood God."

"This is the Blood God."

Tang Ming transmitted words to Hu Jiuze.

Hu Jiuze was equally confused, "I’m also not sure, what exactly is this Blood God?"

"An elder who gave me the Spiritual Water for purifying demonized land."

Tang Ming felt a mix of surprise and joy; he didn’t expect the Nine-headed Goose Deer to be the Blood God. If it weren’t for the many Niu family members present, he would’ve entered the Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod to find out more.

"Ahem, Elder Niu, fellow elders, please rise. If the Blood God you speak of is the elder in the apparition, then indeed, I should visit the Blood God Temple. You are right; the water in my Jade Bottle was gifted to me by this elder."

Tang Ming smiled cheerfully as he helped Niu Yingzi up.

"Have you met the Blood God? You’ve truly seen the Blood God? Oh my, you are a divine child. Divine child, I’m doomed! I dared to offend you earlier."

Niu Yingzi instantly wanted to kneel, but Tang Ming quickly stopped her.

"Elder, please don’t do this. I am not a divine child, just someone with some connection to the senior Nine-headed Goose Deer."

Tang Ming said with a smile.

Niu Yingzi was silent for a moment, then said, "This matter should be discussed at the Blood God Temple, communicating with the Blood God. It’s been many years since we’ve received a divine sign from him."

Hu Jiuze and Tang Ming exchanged a glance and both nodded.

When they arrived at the Blood God Temple, the elder who had overseen the punishment of Niu Lili was kneeling on a mat to the side.

Meanwhile, Niu Lili was suspended in the air, with streams of blood-red light shooting from the mouth of the Nine-headed Goose Deer statue, being infused into Niu Lili’s body.

On the temple floor, the formation shone with green light, resonating with the blood-red light in the air. Niu Lili’s power was continuously increasing, stopping only when she reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

Tang Ming and the others stood outside the Blood God Temple for an entire afternoon. It was only when dusk fell that Niu Lili descended from mid-air.

"Niu family members, come in. Please, the two guests, wait outside."

Niu Lili had changed from her previous innocent and lively demeanor, appearing significantly more dignified.

Niu Yingzi nodded and whispered something to Niu Hao; soon, all the Niu family members donned their ceremonial attire for worshipping the Blood God, led by Niu Yinghao and Niu Yingzi, and entered the Blood God Temple.

"The one walking in the center should be the old clan leader Right Bull Horn, Niu Yinghao. On his other side is Niu Yingfei. I never expected the old generation of the Niu family to still be alive. The Niu family has concealed itself well."

Hu Jiuze took a deep breath. Previously, she thought that if conflict arose with the Niu family, she could take Tang Ming and leave.
