Princess Long hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked into the governor's mansion.
Chunying glanced at Li Yao and quickly followed him inside.
"Xiangzi, this..."
At this moment, Han Yu was completely bewildered.
He was also eager to know what exactly was going on with the Crocodile God.
"Uncle, there are too many people around here, let's go inside and talk in detail!"
Han Xiangzi quickly offered an explanation.
He then had his uncle send the officials away.
Then, he took Li Yao and his uncle to the original council hall.
At this moment, there were only five people in the hall: Li Yao, Han Xiangzi, Han Yu, Princess Long San, and Chun Ying.
"Xiangzi, what exactly happened?"
"Just who is this Crocodile God?"
As soon as Han Yu entered the hall, he couldn't wait to ask.
Han Xiangzi was about to explain.
Princess Long San, who was standing nearby, quickly said, "Let me say it!"
Then, she briefly recounted the origins of the Crocodile God.
It turns out that ten thousand years ago, Crocodile God was originally Tongtian Jiaozhu's sworn brother. However, he later betrayed Tongtian Jiaozhu and helped Taishang Laojun and the Heavenly Court to suppress Tongtian Jiaozhu under Demon Mountain, thus making a great contribution to the Heavenly Court.
Therefore, the Jade Emperor appointed the Crocodile God as a righteous deity of the Heavenly Court and bestowed Chaozhou upon him, making it his territory.
All living beings on land and water in the Chaozhou area are under the jurisdiction of the Crocodile God.
From then on, Crocodile God was considered the local emperor of the Chaozhou area.
Even the Dragon King of the East Sea could not interfere in the affairs of the aquatic creatures in the Chaozhou area.
Moreover, the Jade Emperor also bestowed upon the Crocodile God a magical treasure: a golden voucher.
This golden certificate is extremely powerful; it even captured the magical treasures of the three immortals, Tieguai Li, Han Zhongli, and Zhang Guolao.
Therefore, even immortals like Tieguai Li were helpless against the Crocodile God.
"What?"
"The Crocodile God is actually a righteous god of the Heavenly Court?"
"And he also has a gold certificate bestowed by the Jade Emperor?"
Han Yu was greatly surprised.
He never expected that the Crocodile God had such a powerful background.
Han Xiangzi didn't tell his uncle the truth because he was afraid of worrying him.
"Even my father, the emperor, respects this Crocodile God."
"And my master Zhang Guolao, along with Tieguai Li, Han Zhongli, Lan Caihe, and Han Xiangzi, a total of five immortals, are no match for him."
"You think you can eliminate Crocodile God all by yourself? You're simply overestimating yourself and being incredibly arrogant!"
Princess Long San mocked Li Yao.
"Long San, you must not be rude to Fellow Daoist Li!"
Han Xiangzi rebuked Princess Long San.
Although he also felt that Li Yao was overestimating himself.
However, he was much more composed than the Third Princess, and his speech and behavior were very measured.
"Hmph, you actually dared to yell at me because of an outsider!"
Princess Long San stomped her foot in anger, turned around, and vanished in a golden light.
"Long San!"
Chunying glanced apologetically at Han Xiangzi, then turned and chased after him.
Chapter 722 Just kill him.
Princess Long San's departure in a huff did not affect Han Xiangzi and the others' discussions on resolving the crocodile problem.
"Xiangzi, since that Crocodile God has a golden certificate bestowed by the Jade Emperor, does that mean we have no way to deal with him?"
Han Yu asked with a worried expression.
"The Jade Emperor bestowed a golden certificate upon the Crocodile God and placed all living beings in the Chaozhou area under his jurisdiction!"
"Originally, the Jade Emperor only permitted the Crocodile God's descendants to bite to death those who were recorded in the Book of Life and Death as deserving of death."
"However, in recent years, due to the continuous filling of land along the river and lake, many rivers and lakes have shrunk, which has angered the Crocodile God."
"Therefore, the Crocodile God allowed his descendants to harm innocent people, which led to the crocodile plague."
"The Crocodile God, relying on the golden certificate bestowed upon him by the Jade Emperor, was arrogant and looked down on everyone. Even when the Dragon King of the East Sea tried to mediate, he didn't give the Dragon King any face!"
"That's absolutely outrageous!"
Han Xiangzi sighed deeply and said.
"They won't even give face to the Dragon King of the East Sea?"
"What...what should we do?"
Han Yu became deeply worried.
"Uncle, don't worry, I've already come up with a solution!"
Han Xiangzi quickly comforted Han Yu.
"real?"
"What method?"
Han Yu's face lit up with joy.
"You intend to feed the crocodile with your own body?"
Li Yao looked at Han Xiangzi and spoke.
"What?"
"To feed the crocodiles with one's own body?"
Han Yu was surprised.
"How...how did you know what I was thinking?"
Han Xiangzi stared at Li Yao in horror.
He did indeed intend to 'feed the crocodiles with his own body'.
However, he did not tell anyone about this plan.
How did Li Yao find out?
"I'm just guessing!"
Li Yao said calmly.
"I see!"
Han Xiangzi thought to himself, "That's the only possibility."
Otherwise, how would Li Yao know what he was thinking?
However, Li Yao is quite impressive; he guessed it right away.
"Since the Crocodile God is so despicable, why not just kill him? Why offer yourself up to the crocodile?"
Li Yao smiled slightly.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you're oversimplifying things. That Crocodile God is not easy to deal with..."
Han Xiangzi shook his head slightly and said.
Before he could finish speaking, Li Yao's expression changed. "Someone's coming!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than several voices came from afar.
"Tell me, which fellow Daoist took up the official notice and claimed to be able to solve the crocodile problem in Chaozhou?"
"It's hard to say. The world is vast, and there are countless hidden masters. Perhaps one of them will pass by and offer us a helping hand!"
"I bet this fellow Daoist is definitely an accomplice sent by the Jade Emperor!"
"If that's the case, then that's excellent. That Crocodile God, relying on the golden certificate bestowed by the Jade Emperor, has been committing all sorts of evil deeds in Chaozhou, incurring the wrath of Heaven and the resentment of the people. He should have been punished properly long ago!"
As they were speaking, four immortals, riding on auspicious clouds, flew over from the distant sky.
The leader was bald, wearing a tattered robe, leaning on a cane in one hand and holding a gourd of wine in the other.
This person must be Tieguai Li.
There was another person with two topknots on his head, big eyes as big as copper bells, a red face and a big belly, bare chest and exposed breasts, holding a big palm-leaf fan in his hand, patting his big belly from time to time.
The image of this person is also quite obvious; it should be Han Zhongli.
There was also an old Taoist priest, riding backwards on a donkey. He had a youthful face and white hair, and a cheerful smile on his face, just like a mischievous old man.
Without a doubt, this old Taoist priest must be Zhang Guolao.
The remaining one looked very young, dressed in tattered blue clothes, holding a clapper in his hand, and looked listless, as if he hadn't slept for several days.
Yes, this person must be Lan Caihe.
Among these four immortals, the ones with the most profound cultivation should be Tieguai Li and Han Zhongli.
Secondly, there is Zhang Guolao.
