Chapter 1176 - Chapter 1176 Chapter 1180 The Goddess of the Black Umbrella

Chapter 1176: Chapter 1180: The Goddess of the Black Umbrella Chapter 1176: Chapter 1180: The Goddess of the Black Umbrella These words immediately put everyone in a dilemma.

Chief Zhou looked towards the Master of Yin Spirit.

The Master of Yin Spirit was clearly pondering deeply over these words.

Beside them, Zheng Yu, quietly observing everything, felt a chilling dread!

Hong Mo had actually set such a trap!

That is to say, even if he sacrificed the River Girl for the lives of the majority, the ultimate result would be the destruction of Xilao City by the Furious River, and the River Girl’s death would trigger an even greater disaster!

The River Girl herself represents a kind of disaster!!!

A predicament in which any choice leads to utter ruin!

Hong Mo is trying to drive him mad, pulling him from human morality into a deep abyss of sin!

One wrong step and his Divine form would be stripped away, and Hong Mo could even use the Sin Punishment to curse and kill him directly!

Zheng Yu already felt a chill down his spine.

Is this the Curse Environment that Hong Mo meticulously crafted for him??

Were those who died at the hands of Hong Mo’s curse-killing technique also enduring such torment, instantly trapped in irreversible doom at the slightest internal wavering or lack of calm analysis?

“What should we do?? We can’t just let ourselves be left with nothing and wait to be drowned!” Chief Zhou was completely panicking.

“Chief Zhou, if there are demons in the world, naturally there are Immortal Gods to protect you. Try to calm everyone down, let everyone not be swayed by some evil spirits, and certainly not let some demons manipulate your lives and fate,” the woman with the black umbrella continued.

“But…”

“How can you believe what a ghost says, they will do everything they can to harm you, asking you to kill the River Girl is to eradicate you,” the woman with the black umbrella said further.

The woman with the black umbrella spoke persuasively, and Zheng Yu could see a special divine glow lingering above her head, even though she deliberately used the black umbrella to cover it, Zheng Yu still knew she was a divine being.

The woman with the black umbrella is a divine being.

And also the very divine being from the Goddess Temple in River Province that he had encountered!

As an Earth Temple God presiding over human affairs, he must not reveal his identity; otherwise, his Divine Power would be diminished.

Zheng Yu could not tell these people that he is the Earth Temple God’s Palace, for once his Divine Power was reduced, Zheng Yu could no longer battle with Hong Mo with magical spells!

Previously in the North Desert, Zheng Yu had already competed with Hong Mo. Their Divine methods balanced each other out, and neither could best the other, hence Hong Mo sought various ways to weaken his Divine Power, suppress his Divine form, and even cause him to commit errors and sins in his divine duties…

Similarly, the woman with the black umbrella as a divine being was merely inhabiting the body of an ordinary umbrella seller and guiding in the guise of a common person, gently persuading.

However, as a local deity, her manifested form and favors towards these people naturally emitted a charisma, akin to meeting the real Earth Temple Goddess, subconsciously making people listen and act as she advised.

The Ghost God brings unease to people, and she accordingly dispels their anxiety.

The Ghost God intimidates and tempts, leading people step by step into the abyss of sin, while the gods also guide and caution, helping people to gradually climb out of the mire.

It must be said, the arrival of this woman allowed Zheng Yu to take a huge sigh of relief.

From the death of the Old Drunkard Temple God to this moment, Hong Mo has been relentlessly closing in, setting various traps to lure Zheng Yu to his death, nearly trapping Zheng Yu in the dilemma of saving either the River Girl or the townspeople.

“Stay calm, everyone. First, let the River Girl go, and let me talk to her. Everyone, don’t scare her. Although she is a demon, she has never done anything outrageous. Her mother was the Rain Master who also made mistakes and sinned, but whether it’s the Rain Master or the River Girl’s father, they have been protecting you all these years to atone for the past sins. Under an Eternal Darkness, if everyone only sees the darkness, you will never see daylight. If everyone keeps a kind heart and adheres to human principles, we can eventually overcome the difficulties together.” Zheng Yu finally spoke.

Now, pleading for the River Girl, the people could listen.

Had it been earlier, Zheng Yu might have been seen as an accomplice, and whatever he said next would likely backfire. The gods could only slowly and kindly persuade. Losing the trust of those around and being steered by demons could end in tragedy.

“She is a demon, she is here to harm people,” said the woman.

“Auntie, everything needs evidence. She has not harmed anyone, as no one has actual proof or has seen it themselves, but think carefully about how many naive children Jiang Yukui has saved over the years from drowning in the river. These are witnessed by everyone,” the woman with the black umbrella spoke.

“This…”

“Indeed, my son Erniu, she was the one who pulled him up.”

“Old Han Xu, didn’t your daughter also go missing once, and wasn’t it her who found her!”

People quickly recalled the past deeds of the River Girl Jiang Yukui, and the resentful emotions stirred by some initially also dissipated a lot.

“Let’s untie her, after all, she can’t escape,” said the Master of Yin Spirit.

The crowd unfastened the Charm Rope.

The Charm Rope, similar to thorns, not only bound Jiang Yukui but also tormented her continuously.

The physical pain, along with the collective anger from the people, made the River Girl Jiang Yukui fearful and anxious, curling up there with fear visible in her green eyes.

Zheng Yu took off his coat and draped it over her.

Zheng Yu helped her up and said to Jiang Yukui, “I know you are very afraid now, and it’s painful to be taken for sacrifice, but you’ve lived with these people for over a decade. You know they are just ordinary people, they are as scared as you are, and they don’t want to hurt anyone. Now they are willing to let go of their prejudice against you, and they hope you can forgive their rudeness and misunderstandings…”

“I… I really haven’t harmed anyone, I don’t want to be a demon…” cried the River Girl Jiang Yukui.

“You are a River Girl, born with the ability to command the rivers, show them that you not only will not harm people, you can even become their protective god!” Zheng Yu continued.

“I… I have never controlled such turbulent floods before, I…” said the River Girl Jiang Yukui.

Her Mana wasn’t high.

Moreover, this was a flood of Azure Rain, not just any ordinary river.

“Your mother was the Rain Master, your father was a Temple God, you are not truly a demon, you are a Water Temple God who needs to cultivate through a demon form. You can do it, you have to believe in yourself!” Zheng Yu told her.
