Hearing his words, Su Yuande sneered in his heart.
He had treated him as an ordinary river.
Although he was only at transcendent level two, an ordinary person could not be compared to him.
Riding his horse to the riverside, the leader of the knights raised his longsword high, and his aura began to condense.
Red flames burned on the longsword, and the horse he was riding was not an ordinary horse. It also erupted with its aura.
The soil under his body began to sink.
“Cut!”
With a loud shout, the knight swung his sword down, and a burning sword aura rushed straight at Su Yuande.
Boom!
Water splashed in all directions, and the earth and the mountains shook.
Silently feeling the power of the sword aura, Su Yuande sneered in his heart. “Just this?”
However, in order to catch those knights, he cooperated by controlling the river water and separating it at the point where the sword aura cut.
Seeing that the river fruit was separated and the water level was lowering, the women all let out desperate screams.
The leader of the knights continued to slash at the same place, blocking the river water.
The knights who got off their horses quickly rushed into the river water.
Su Yuande, waited until all the Knights, except the leader, had rushed into the river, and then he poured the river water down.
The water hit the knights and drowned them in an instant.
Su Yuande pulled all of them into the bottom of the river and controlled a water shield that was filled with air.
Feng Qimu received his order and stretched out his tree roots to bind all the knights.
The river water rose, and the wooden carriage board rose with it. The four women were safe.

Looking at this scene, the knight leader’s expression, revealed through his helmet, was completely frozen.
“What is going on?”
He could not turn around for a moment.
Su Yuande did not want to play games with him anymore.
The ground that the knight leader was standing on collapsed, just like the way he drew the collapsing bear into the river.
The knight leader, who was wearing heavy armor and riding a large horse, fell into the water.
Just like before, the Phoenix Perch took its tree roots and tied him up.
In order not to leak the news, the four women who were lying on the carriage board were also dragged into the bottom of the river by him.
After capturing all of them, Su Yuande separated each of them and interrogated them individually.
The first one to be interrogated was the woman named Sophia.
In a huge water cover at the bottom of the river, Sophia was tied up here.
Her pretty face was full of determination. She was indeed the leader of the group of fugitives.
Although she was caught alone, she was not afraid of anything.
Su Yuande controlled a stream of water and turned into a human-shaped water man, coming in front of Sophia.
Controlling the vibration of the stream, he began to ask.
“Who are you? Why are you here?”
There was no response. Sophia kept her mouth shut.
“I do not want to interfere in your affairs. But you intruded into my quiet life. You have to explain the situation.”

Then came a woman’s scream.
Su Yuande used the water flow to scare the other three women from afar.
Sophia’s expression changed when she thought her companions were being abused.
“Do not touch them! I will tell you!”
Seeing the water man in front of her nodding, Sophia bit her lips.
“We are witches from the Wusu Divine Kingdom. Nearly a hundred years ago, we had a divine war with the god Taman next door.”
“You should know the final result very well, we…”
Before she could finish, Su Yuande interrupted her, “Tell me everything I do not know. I’ve been here for a long time.”
“Also, do not try to lie to me. I will separate all of you. When the time comes to verify the information, all of you have yet to agree on what you want to say. You have to think carefully about the consequences.”
After glaring at the water man controlled by Su Yuande, Sophia could only tell him everything she knew.
“The battle between the gods was very intense. Our country’s pope, saintess, and general of judgement all died.”
“The Taman Divine Kingdom was similar to us. The most tragic thing was that our gods had all disappeared.”
“All these years, we have been working hard to consolidate the strength of our country. At the same time, we have been waiting for the oracle to descend again, waiting for the return of the gods.”
“Unfortunately, all these years of waiting have been in vain. In the end, we did not receive the oracle. Instead, other countries began to invade.”
“We, and the Taman Divine Kingdom, became the targets of the blazing flame empire’s attack.”
“Not long after, the entire country was almost annexed. However, those people from the blazing flame empire seemed to be looking for something. They thought that I would know the news, so they kept chasing me.”
“I used the divine artifact and sacrificed all its power. It sensed the god’s aura and finally led me to the Delle Plains.”
“But ten days ago, the divine weapon was completely shattered. All the gods aura could not be felt.”
At this point, Sophia’s face was gloomy.
Su Yuande took out the wooden sculpture of the god’s emblem. “What is this?”
“This is my god’s God’s Emblem.”
Hearing this answer, Su Yuande figured out the whole story.
Ten days ago, it was precisely the day that he had abandoned his divine personality and gathered his power core again.
No wonder, ever since the first system notification, he had not been able to sense the believers, and he had no idea about the arrival of these witches.
His predecessor should have been that god Wusu.
And the third party that had instigated a rift was that so-called Raging Flame Empire, or the force behind it.
He still did not know the actual strength of the other party.
However, as long as he could reach his previous strength, it would not be so easy for them to destroy him.
After all, they still needed to use tricks to sow discord between them.
After sorting out the information, he ignored Sophia and began to interrogate the rest of the people.
The people of the Blazing Flame Empire were not as strong-willed as the followers of Ursus. They were frightened when they saw this strange water man.
It took some time to pry open the mouth of the leader of the knights.
The knights did not know the news of the true upper echelons of the Raging Flame Empire, and they were not clear about the specific actions.
They only knew that the empire had been training its troops for more than 120 years, preparing for battle.
The Raging Flame Empire did not have a god, nor did it have a suzerain.
Their kings had changed from generation to generation, but the founding emperor had always existed.
Su Yuande set his main target on the founding emperor.
According to the news, the people of the Raging Flame Empire should not have figured out his identity yet.
They were only tracking down this group of witches.
Su Yuande began to think about his next move.
Since this group of witches had already arrived, it was impossible for the knights to let them go. The Raging Flame Empire would probably continue to send people to investigate.
It was probably impossible for him to stay out of it. However, his identity as the god of Wusu would not be known to them so early.
Therefore, what he wanted to do was the same as before. He wanted to quickly increase his strength without attracting too much attention.
The outcome of this group of knights was already destined. He considered how to deal with Sophia and the witches.
