Chapter 367: Chapter 172: The Banquet Begins, Lasts for 30 Days!_3

Following the New God indeed brought wealth and food.

Over thirty dinner tables were set up, but no one dared to make the first move before Qi Yuan.

At that moment, Qi Yuan stood up and raised his wine glass.

"Today, we gather here, hearts heavy with grief."

"The heavens weep, the earth mourns... My dear comrade, the Guardian God of Shi Village, the Wolf Dog God, has left us for good."

Qi Yuan’s voice was filled with intensity and sorrow.

The villagers of Shi Family Village exchanged uneasy glances, and the villagers of Qing Shui Village looked utterly confused.

Qi Yuan then opened his palm in a somber gesture, "On this heartbreaking day, we remember and mourn."

Upon seeing this, a strong man with the last name Wang immediately changed his expression.

Shortly after, a couple of women in white, usually hired for mourning rituals, appeared from within the Shi Family Village.

"Oh God, your death was so tragic!"

"Woo Woo..."

They were crying desolately and movingly as if they had lost their own family members.

Qi Yuan felt a sense of ceremony when he heard their cries.

"Let’s feast!" He started to eat ravenously, almost engulfing a pig’s head in one go.

He was... so hungry.

He had never felt this level of hunger before since his time travel to this era.

The villagers of Qing Shui Village were eating like ravenous ghosts.

Some people were eating secretly and stashing away some food.

They were just... too hungry.

...

Meanwhile, in Qing Shui Village.

Two old men were lying on a haystack munching on cornbread.

"Ah, when will our lives improve?"

"Soon, if the deity dies in Shi Family Village, our Qing Shui Village will probably cease to exist. Luckily, I still have a little bit of dry food left, I won’t starve to death."

"This newly-born Old God is so strange. If he stays in the village, we in Qing Shui Village can survive a bit longer. But him going to Shi Family Village is like giving meat buns to a dog."

The two old men’s words resonated with the thoughts of almost everyone else.

No one believed that the newly-born Old God could triumph over the New God.

Plus... even if he does defeat the New God, his fate would still be grim.

The Fei Huang City had become half of the New God’s territory.

There was hardly any space left for the Old Gods.

Just then, a rustling sound was heard.

The old man showed a puzzled expression: "Auntie Jiang, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"

A middle-aged woman, looking extremely weak, lifted her head. Her eyes sparkled as she said weakly, "Feast."

"Ah?" The old man felt as though he had heard the word somewhere today.

"The deity killed the Evil God, they are having a feast in Shi Family Village. We are going to help... and eat."

The news made the old man frozen in disbelief.

The deity had killed the Evil God?

On the Evil God’s home ground?

His eyes lit up: "Feast!"

All else mattered not, only the feast did.

...

In Shi Family Village, where the Evil God had been vanquished and the largest clan deprived of its wealth by Qi Yuan.

A large hoard of food and grain was discovered.

On the first day, they held a feast for the Evil God. The next day, they continued the feast.

With so many people dead, the feast must go on!

One day, an old man thin like a skeleton, dressed in a scholar’s robe was sitting in a horse carriage pulled by a skinny horse.

His eyes were half-closed as it seemed he had sustained severe injuries.

"Sir, are you alright?" Huang Mengying asked worriedly.

The New God in Kuang Feng Town is somewhat strong.

Now, with five hundred guards and a brazenly invulnerable fortress in his home ground, I... after the confrontation... have sustained severe injuries. I need to rest for three years before I can act again," the scholar sighed, showing a sense of guilt, "Ah, I have let down City Lord Huang’s trust."

The distress on Huang Mengying’s face deepened at his words, but she still managed to say, "As long as you are alright, sir."

"It’s unfortunate. Out of the seven towns, six have fallen under the control of the New Gods. Fei Huang City can barely hold up all by itself," the scholar sighed.

Fei Huang City has always worshipped the Old Gods.

The city also worshipped one of the Old Gods.

But twenty years ago, the Old God suddenly fell into deep sleep.

The situation in the city changed drastically.

Many influential families in the city were secretly stirring up support to welcome the New Gods.

Huang Mengying’s father, the city lord of Fei Huang City, naturally did not want to welcome the New Gods and suppressed the city’s influential families.

However, those influential families, seeing that they could not change Fei Huang City, secretly colluded with several towns to overthrow the Old Gods and welcome the New Gods.

Presently, out of the seven towns under Fei Huang City, six have started worshipping the New Gods.

As for the villages, almost all of them worship New Gods, with only a handful worshipping Old Gods.

The scholar, a friend of the city lord and a powerful being of the Purple Mansion’s later stage, was personally requested by the city lord to take action against the New Gods of the six towns and cut off the influence of the New Gods.

Unfortunately, he only managed to kill one New God before he was severely injured by the second one.

Just then, the sound of festive music reached them, making the atmosphere seem lively.

This was quite unusual for villages near Fei Huang City.

The scholar seemed slightly startled, "Young man, what is happening in the village ahead?"

"Sir, let me find out." The young man who was driving the horse carriage disembarked and hurried towards the village ahead.

Not long after, the young man returned, "Sir, it’s Shi Family Village up ahead... they are having a feast!"

"A feast in Shi Family Village?" The scholar looked surprised.

If his memory served him right, the Shi Family Village had an Evil God.

"Yes, the Old God of Qing Shui Village killed the Evil God of Shi Family Village and now they are having a feast!"

Upon hearing this, the scholar couldn’t help but smile, "Such an interesting event, I must take a look."

Huang Mengying also seemed interested.

Because, what was happening in front of them was indeed incredible.

In these times, it was rare to see Old Gods killing New Gods.

And to hold a grand feast after killing a New God was even rarer.

After all, the New Gods had immense power now, and some Old Gods, struggling for their own survival, were not willing to oppose the New Gods.

"Let’s go and see." Huang Mengying seemed curious as well.

She had read the county records thoroughly and had an intimate understanding of which deities the various villages under Fei Huang City worshipped.

The deity worshipped by Qing Shui Village was the Dog Tail Grass God, the lowest level kind.

How could such a deity kill the Evil God of Shi Family Village?

Driving the carriage and with different thoughts in their minds, the scholar and Huang Mengying reached Shi Family Village. They were greeted by a bustling scene.

They also saw several coffins on the ground and people mourning.

The originally somber funeral scene felt oddly comical in this lively atmosphere.
