Shui Rou's gentle voice lightly echoed in the vast environment.

Before her, the massive figure that originally appeared as an Evil Dragon suddenly shrank visibly, transforming into a decrepit old woman.

She stared wide-eyed in disbelief, seemingly unable to comprehend why this was happening.

The consciousness of the High Priest gradually faded away, and in her daze, she seemed to see a little girl sitting atop a dragon's head, holding the dragon horns and soaring through the sky.

This was not her memory; it was the memory of the first High Priest.

For the sake of this memory inheritance, generations of High Priests and the entire Water Village have sacrificed so much.

Was it really worth it?

She seemed to hear once again the fierce and frantic roar of a dragon from the distant sky.

Whatever, I've tried my best.

As the High Priest reached this thought, her pupils completely scattered, losing the final signs of life.

With the death of the High Priest, Yi Fan's "deception" was effortlessly shattered.

The Dragon-Binding Lock seals that originally restrained the High Priest transformed into three beams of dark light, soaring into the sky!

Upon seeing this scene, Shui Rou finally breathed a complete sigh of relief.

She knew she had fulfilled Han Zhan's request and, similarly, completed her own redemption.

The battle continued over the sea.

Han Zhan, controlling the Mutated Tree-man, struggled to fend off one attack after another from the Evil Dragon.

The situation at this moment could only be described as "one tree cannot support the falling forest"!

Just then, three beams of dark light burst from the water's surface.

The Evil Dragon, still entangled with the Tree-men, immediately sensed the emergence of these three beams of dark light.

In its maddened dragon eyes, a trace of panic, surprisingly human-like, appeared.

The Evil Dragon abruptly abandoned its bombardment of the Tree-men, its entire dragon form retreating higher into the sky.

But still, it was one step too slow.

The three beams of dark light blocked it from three different directions, completely denying its resistance, and the massive dragon body was instantly bound!

The raging fury was instantly suppressed!

Han Zhan's heart stirred, knowing Shui Rou had succeeded, and his chance to counterattack had arrived.

The Ancient Resentful Sunset Array was canceled, the shadow of the giant Tree-man, blotting out the sky and sun, disappeared, and a zither tune that hadn't been heard in a long time erupted from Han Zhan's fingers.

"Six Ding Thunder"!

Rumbling.

The sky was already filled with dense dark clouds, and as the zither tune played, it became as black as ink, with flashes of lightning.

Thick purple thunder glimpsed through the dark clouds, brewing a murderous intent.

The Evil Dragon sensed the anomaly in the sky, struggling madly to break free, but the Dragon-Binding Lock tightened even further.

It began to thunder.

Accompanied by the pouring rain, amid the dense rain curtain, six towering Dharma Aspect shadows appeared in succession.

Thunder serpents roamed across them, the terrifying aura of thunder brewing, growing stronger and stronger!

Rumbling!

Another clap of thunder.

Above the sky, the dark clouds were torn apart, countless thunders poured down as if from the Thunder Pool.

The six Dharma Aspect shadows simultaneously pinched a spell with their left hand, raising a finger with their right.

All the thunders across the sky followed the same direction, flowing along the exposed Dragon-Binding Chains, injecting into the Evil Dragon.

Those inscrutable engraved patterns on the Dragon-Binding Chains suddenly lit up when penetrated by electricity.

In an instant, bearing the immense Thunderous Power, the golden scales on the Evil Dragon's surface shattered inch by inch, arcs of electricity flashed across its body, charred black.

The Dragon-Binding Lock unexpectedly enhanced the power of the Six Ding Thunder!

But after all, it was a Tier Eight Peak creature, and the full force strike of Six Ding Thunder could only shatter the scales on the Evil Dragon's surface, not completely annihilate it.

Han Zhan gritted his teeth and swallowed two Energy Bricks, causing a massive eruption of Spiritual Power within him.

The blood vessels on the surface of his skin all glowed with a faint blue light, the energy was about to explode him to death.

Dare not slack.

The Void Origin within Han Zhan frantically devoured, injecting this massive energy into the Fu Xi Zither.

In the sky, the six Dharma Aspect shadows that had dimmed suddenly brightened again, becoming more solid!

Clearly visible deep purple lightning patterns appeared on the Dharma Aspect, making them look sacred yet destructive.

The rain intensified.

The thunder followed the rain.

"Suppress!" shouted Han Zhan in furious wrath.

When the extinction Tribulation Thunder descended, the world paused momentarily.

Thunder thicker than barrels transformed into pillars, pinning the Evil Dragon dead onto the sea!

The three Dragon-Binding Chains dragged the Evil Dragon's corpse off the sea surface, then heavily dropped it onto the land.

The Evil Dragon, annihilated.

Witnessing this scene, everyone was deeply shocked.

Whether it was the raging fury of the Evil Dragon or the ghostly thunders, it was the mighty force of celestial phenomena.

Their gaze toward Han Zhan grew more reverent.

The sky returned to its original state.

The sounds of wind, rain, thunder, and the Evil Dragon's roars all subdued in that moment.

The world was silent.

The three Dragon-Binding Chains, having accomplished their mission, showed no intention of departing, floating in front of Han Zhan.

If it weren't for the exhaustion, too tired to speak, Han Zhan would have exclaimed again.

"Beat the boss, it's gotta drop equipment!"

These three Dragon-Binding Chains seemed capable of enhancing the power of thunder, possessing special functionality with the inscriptions on them.

With this thought, Han Zhan collected them as well.

At this moment, on the sea, with a splash, a figure turned to water emerged, it was none other than Shui Rou who had previously submerged into the sea.

Behind her, one by one, the people of Water Village emerged from the sea, showing their heads.

The High Priest was dead.

The Evil Dragon was slain.

Even their home village, Water Village, had its Water Repelling Shield shattered by the High Priest, sinking into the sea.

They were now homeless, aimless in life.

"Lord Zhan, they are the villagers of Water Village, who have never committed any heinous acts."

"Previously, they were bewitched by the High Priest, now everything has calmed, can you spare them?"

Shui Rou opened her mouth to plead with Han Zhan.

Even without her plea, Han Zhan was not a bloodthirsty person and had no intention of slaughtering them all.

But since Shui Rou had spoken, he was happy to grant this favor.

Han Zhan did not respond immediately, instead, he scrutinized this group expressionlessly.

Under Han Zhan's gaze, all the villagers of Water Village were trembling inside.

They had seen the scene of the Evil Dragon being slain.

The myriad lightning striking the sea, the stern fury of the six Dharma Aspects, gave them a tremendous spiritual shock.

They were terrified.

Shui Rou looked at Han Zhan with some worry, uncertain whether her words could sway him.

If she truly couldn't persuade him, what should she do then?

Before she could spiral into chaotic thoughts, Han Zhan had already opened his mouth: "I can let them go, bygones be bygones. But I have one condition."

"The villagers of Water Village were misled, strayed from the path, though they erred, it was unintentional. Without correct guidance, they may continue to make mistakes."

"I need a new village chief to lead them back on the right path."

"I think Shui Rou should be this village chief, do you all agree?"

Everyone froze for a moment.

But soon, the voices of consent rapidly sounded over the sea.

"Agree!"

"Agree!"

"We agree! Village Chief Shui Rou!"
