They wanted to wait until the thing being dragged out appeared, to see exactly what kind of monster or demon it was, and then make their judgment.

On the other hand, upon seeing her son's face, Lin's mother finally let go of all her worries. Now, in her heart, she was ninety-nine percent convinced of her son's words.

However, the Town Chief and his people still stubbornly held onto their own views and did not believe that the Mountain God was a demon.

Lin Yifan had already emerged from the darkness, followed closely by the Mountain God he was dragging out.

Everyone was curious about what the Mountain God they had been worshipping, or, as Lin Yifan claimed, the demonic Mountain God, looked like; so they all craned their necks in anticipation, staring unwaveringly at the cave entrance.

It could be said that the climax was about to unfold, and the entire place was waiting with bated breath.

At this moment, Zhao Dabing and the folks from the discipline inspection and prosecutors office, who were hiding in the distance to watch, also turned their attention to the cave entrance, eager to see what the Mountain God that the people of Qingshi Town worshipped actually looked like.

"Squad Leader Zhao! Do you think the Mountain God might be as horrible as that troublemaker said?" Lin Shanshan asked curiously, her ample bust heaving with anticipation.

She had overheard the whispers among the crowd earlier and learned about some of the situation; thus, she knew where the conflict between the people of Qingshi Town and Lin Yifan lay.

"I think it probably will be, otherwise Leopard wouldn't swear so confidently in front of the people," Zhao Dabing replied.

He knew Lin Yifan well; Lin Yifan never did anything he wasn't sure of, so if he had taken action, it must be because he was one hundred percent certain.

"Let's hope so! Otherwise, self-immolation in public would be a serious loss of face for our military," Lin Shanshan muttered to herself.

She too had come out of the military and thus had a sense of honor about the military, not tolerating anyone tarnishing its reputation.

At this time, Zhou Jiajia, An Qi, and Su Qingqing were all a bit reluctant to watch; because before coming here, they had a rough idea of what the Mountain God looked like from Lin Yifan's description.

The disgusting monster that was the Mountain God was more nauseating than a caterpillar; they really didn't want to look directly at it. But driven by curiosity, they endured and decided to watch a part of it first, and if they couldn't bear it, they would immediately close their eyes.

As the figure was revealed in front of everyone, Lin Yifan stopped moving forward and instead came to a halt.

Since he wanted to give all the townspeople a big surprise, he planned for the Mountain God to descend from the sky and appear abruptly before them; that's why he stopped.

Looking at the townspeople on the mountain, on the road, and in the trees, all with their necks craned in expectation, Lin Yifan asked curiously, "Folks, are you ready? If you're ready, I'll bring out the Mountain God!"

"Hurry up! Stop pulling tricks on us, I don't believe you can summon the Mountain God!" urged the people who sided with the Mountain God.

"Alright then! Before I do this, let me clarify, scaring someone to death is not my responsibility!"

Having said that, Lin Yifan used his Cultivation Power and forcefully flung the plump Mountain God, who was in darkness, towards the sky above the Altar, letting the Mountain God experience freefall and suddenly appear before everyone's eyes, frightening them all.

Because Lin Yifan flung it out at such a high speed, all the townspeople could see was a purple-red object flying out of the cave and then reaching the sky above the Altar, followed by a rapid fall.

Little Fang, who possessed Cultivation Power, was the first to see the true face of the Mountain God, and she immediately told Zhou Jiajia and the others to close their eyes: "Sister Jiajia, Sister An Qi, Cousin Qingqing, quick, close your eyes; don't look."

"Why?" Zhou Jiajia and the others asked curiously.

They had only seen an outline and hadn't seen the real face of the Mountain God, so they didn't know how scary it was.

"Because it's so disgusting, you don't want to look," Little Fang replied.

Now she had closed her eyes tightly, unable to bear watching.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiajia and the others didn't hesitate, immediately closing their eyes too. They didn't want to leave any psychological trauma for themselves, so following Xiaofang's suggestion seemed best.

The moment they closed their eyes, the Mountain God descended onto the altar, and instantly, the crowd erupted in astonishment, everyone was so scared they couldn't stand steady and kept retreating.

The next moment, part of the crowd standing on the steep slopes and in the trees, who hadn't heeded the warnings, rolled down the hillside or fell from the trees.

Some of them were injured, others broke limbs, and some nearly lost their lives; luckily, Lin Yifan took action, using his Cultivation Power to give them a helping hand, or they might have really bid farewell to this world.

However, Lin Yifan's covert action was mistaken by those siding with the Mountain God as the deity's intervention to save those people, which led them to joyfully proclaim, "Look, the Mountain God has taken action, the real Mountain God has returned."

"That damn kid dares to insult the Mountain God, just wait and see how the Mountain God punishes him."

"Mountain God, come out quickly! Punish this ignorant, deceitful scoundrel!"

"Right! Mountain God, come out quickly! Slaughter him!"

"Slaughter him!"

"Slaughter him!"

...

But no matter how loud they shouted, they didn't see a trace of the Mountain God; instead, they heard Lin Yifan's cold laugh.

"Hmph! Idiots, stop shouting; the ones I just saved were indeed me."

"How audacious! You are at the cave entrance, how could you possibly save people tens of meters away? Do you really take us for fools?" those on the side of the Mountain God retorted with a sneer.

Even though they saw the true face of the Mountain God, they still couldn't believe that the repulsive, terrifying being on the altar was the same deity they had been worshipping and offering sacrifices to. They suspected that everything was a setup by Lin Yifan, a ploy to bewitch them.

"Believe it or not, that's up to you, but the deity you have been worshipping is right there on the altar," Lin Yifan pointed to the monster on the altar and said with force.

Although those who nearly lost their lives didn't know who had saved them, seeing the monster on the altar and Lin Yifan unharmed, they felt it was indeed possible that it had been Lin Yifan who saved them.

For if it had been the Mountain God who saved them, with its exposed and haughty nature, it would definitely have punished Lin Yifan—someone spreading false rumors and smearing its name.

Now that Lin Yifan was safe and sound without any divine retribution, it meant that it was indeed Lin Yifan who had saved them.

Remembering Lin Yifan's strange abilities, they found it even more plausible.

Catching a cleaver barehanded was not something an ordinary person could do—it had to be someone with special abilities.

So, those who were rescued started siding with Lin Yifan's camp, challenging those stubborn fools who stood with the Mountain God.

"So the real Mountain God is this terrifying, look at those sharp teeth, it must be a devil grown on raw flesh."

"No wonder the sacrifices always required large poultry, it turns out it is a frightening carnivorous monster!"
