System invasion, Queen fights monsters to upgrade, kills the system

The old city god’s only daughter is an incomplete dragon. Does this have anything to do with his decision to recommend Shijun to succeed him?

Riyoushen looked at Xuzhoujiao's wrinkled face and couldn't help but chuckle.

It turns out that rumors cannot be fully believed. Although she has been trying hard to act like someone who is not easy to mess with, her inner self still reveals the delicate nature of a little girl.

"Does your Excellency have any doubts?"

"Why is she an incomplete dragon? And why does a dragon smell like earth?"

"I don't know either. I just saw her true appearance by accident."

"Where did you see it? In the City God Temple?"

This time, the Sun God did not answer, but just looked in an unknown direction through the door of the dilapidated temple.

Just as Xu Zhoujiao reached out for the sincerity ball again and sneaked behind him, Riyoushen turned around and asked her a question.

"Why is your Excellency so interested in the story of Shijun and Dragon Girl? Is it because of the woman who waited on the Naihe Bridge?"

This question suddenly stumped Xu Zhoujiao. She didn't understand why Riyoushen asked this.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Sunyoushen asked again:

"My Lord, are you investigating this matter so thoroughly just to vent your anger or for the sake of the woman who once waited at the Naihe Bridge?"

Looking at his serious, stern, deep and determined expression, Xu Zhoujiao carefully answered the question in her heart.

"Whether I am destroying Shi Jun's place or digging deep into the matter, part of the reason is to seek justice for Shu Yanyu, but the biggest reason is that I think this kind of hypocritical villain, a scum who will do anything to achieve his goals, is not worthy of being the city god of this land, let alone being worshipped by the people!"

Xu Zhoujiao exuded a majesty that made Riyoushen hold his breath involuntarily. Every word she said struck his heart and fell on his soul, making him think of the young land god again.

Back then, he was as upright and determined as Xu Zhoujiao, and he vowed to expose the true face of the old city god's family and bring peace to this land.

The Sun God spread out his hands and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, you have to bring peace back to this land. You couldn't do it back then, but now someone can do it. You can rest in peace now! You can rest in peace now!"

Xu Zhoujiao looked at the somewhat crazy look of Riyoushen. From his behavior and words, it could be seen that he was commemorating an old friend.

She asked softly, "Who is he?"

The Sun God did not answer her, but took out a piece of bamboo tube from his sleeve and handed it to her.

"Didn't the Lord ask me where I saw the true face of the Dragon Girl? It was when this bamboo tube died."

Xu Zhoujiao took the bamboo tube and looked at it: "You mean he was once a bamboo tube?"

Sun Wandering God shook his head and said, "He used to be a tall bamboo. He practiced for only three hundred years before he passed the punishment from heaven and became a piece of land. Zhu Zhi is a man of high character and perseverance. He is fair and just in everything he does. He is a rare person."

"He was murdered by someone, wasn't he?"

Combining the words of the Sun God and his sad expression, it is not difficult to guess that this person must have been killed.

As for who did it, there is no doubt that it must be related to the dragon girl who exudes the earthy smell.

"He is a good person in every way, but he cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes. He found out that there are monsters in Kyoto that suck the energy of the poor and the fortune of the rich, so he wants to investigate it thoroughly and eliminate the evil for the people."

"I once tried to stop him and advised him not to investigate. This is because it is too difficult for ordinary spirits in this world to cultivate, and many cannot survive the punishment from heaven. Those who can survive are either small wandering immortals like him who have become landowners or low-ranking officials, or they hide in the mountains to strive for a deeper understanding of the Tao. Only those spirits who are born with unique advantages and complicated backgrounds do not need to cultivate or understand the Tao. Their family background is their greatest reliance."

"Those are people that we small people cannot afford to offend, but he doesn't care. He only wants to seek justice for the people."

The rest of Xuzhou Jiao can be roughly guessed.

"Those victims were targeted in the City God Temple, right?"

The Rain God once told her that there was a monster who, in order to completely shed her animal skin, transformed herself into a young woman, seduced the master of a wealthy family, dug out the hearts of all the people in the family and ate them. In this way, she completely shed her animal skin as she wished.

But because she harmed too many people, she was not tolerated by heaven and was eventually punished by it.

"Your Excellency is right. This is also the conclusion of Zhu Zhi's final investigation. He suspected that the monster was hiding in the City God Temple. When I found out, I resolutely stopped him from investigating further."

"But he said that since he was worshipped by the people, he couldn't stand aside. If he didn't care, who else would? He said that if the City God really colluded with the spirits, then he was not worthy of being the City God of this land, let alone being worshipped by the people. Even if he died, he would expose the true face of the City God."

Xu Zhoujiao admired Zhu Zhi mentioned by the Sun God very much. For the sake of justice in his heart and for the people who had worshipped him, he was willing to protect this land even though he knew he was going to die.

"Because he knew he was going to die, he gave this to you, right?"

The eyes of the Sun Traveler God began to fill with tears.

"Yes, because he had anticipated his own end, he sealed all the evidence in his body. He said that after his death he would turn back into bamboo and asked me to cut off the strongest part. That was his last bit of magic power and would forever preserve the crime of the City God. He wanted me to hand it over to someone who could truly make decisions for the people. I think that person must be you, sir."

Xu Zhoujiao tightly grasped the bamboo tube in her hand. Zhu Zhi's words made her feel very painful.

She kept nodding her head: "Yes, I will make the decision for the people, I will definitely do it."

"After he told me all this, he left. I was worried about him, so I followed him secretly. He was stopped by Longnv and Shijun in front of his own land temple. Longnv beat him severely and sucked the last bit of his energy."

"He just died in his own bamboo forest."

At this point, Riyoushen could no longer control his tears. He knelt on the ground with tears pouring down his cheeks. His voice was filled with endless sadness and helplessness. "My lord, I have been holding on to this matter, waiting for someone who can uphold justice for the people and seek justice for Zhu Zhi. My lord, today I have finally waited for that."

Xu Zhoujiao wiped the tears from her cheeks and helped Riyoushen up. Her voice was firm and powerful, giving Riyoushen endless support and expectations.

"Since you handed me this bamboo tube today, it must be God's will. Since it is God's will, I will open this bamboo tube today to see what monsters and demons are in this City God Temple!"

"Come on, follow me back to the General's Mansion now."

The Sun Traveler asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly return home, sir?"

Xu Zhoujiao pointed at the faint magical power flowing on the bamboo tube and said, "The magical power on it belongs to Taoism. I am afraid that if I demolish it forcefully, it will damage the things inside. I know a very powerful Taoist priest who is the director of the Imperial Observatory. He can definitely open it for us completely."

"Yes, yes, yes. Zhu Zhi practiced Taoism during his lifetime. You are right, sir. You are far-sighted."

"Okay, go back quickly."

Xu Zhoujiao took the Sun God and quickly left the ruined temple and headed straight for the general's mansion.

As soon as Xu Zhoujiao appeared at the door of the general's mansion, she smelled a familiar scent.

It’s Shijun!

I just exhausted him half to death yesterday, and he actually came to me today. It just so happened that I had new materials from him today.

I can't blame myself for this.

Xuzhou Jiao was excited to enter the mansion.

Suddenly, a dragon aura mixed with the smell of earth appeared behind her and rushed towards her at a very fast speed.

The Sun-Traveling God exclaimed, "My Lord, be careful."

Xu Zhoujiao didn't dodge at all. She summoned her mother sword, casually made a sword flower, dropped the sword from her shoulder, and used the mother sword to block directly behind her.

She didn't even turn her head, and the mother sword behind her used its blade to block the sharp sword that was about to pierce Xu Zhoujiao's back.

Xu Zhoujiao threw the sword with her other hand.

Since you are so eager to die, it is not impossible for me to use surgery on you today.
