I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon

Xiaoman easily stabbed the long sword in her hand through another ghost soldier.

She watched as this monster burned into ashes in front of her.

Once again, a bit of soul fire returned.

Xiaoman felt that there seemed to be a slight change in her body.

She walked to the side of the stream and looked at the reflection of the shadow in the clear water.

The graceful girl was eighteen years old, young and graceful.

However, in the stream, the girl’s eyes were no longer as big and beautiful as before.

In her pupils, another faintly discernible flame was rotating.

The flame had no color.

It seemed to be born from nowhere.

Countless lingering thoughts and embers lingered in her ears.

“E-Eat meat…”

“I’m hungry… I want fresh meat…”

“Eat… eat…”

These were the thoughts of the Asura.

There were no embers that were burned by the soul fire.

Apart from that, Xiaoman also heard some inaudible sounds.

‘The crops this year aren’t growing well… I still owe master three bushels of rice…’ This was the lingering thoughts of a farmer.

‘That woman yesterday was really pretty… Unfortunately, it’s expensive…’ This was the thought of a soldier guarding the city.

These thoughts were mixed in with the crazy cries of the Asura.

It made Xiaoman’s originally sweet and cute baby face twist little by little.

This was the price of soul-devouring!

To devour others, one had to bear the invasion of other people’s thoughts and thoughts.

Even a mystic lord could not be exempted from it!

But a mystic lord was extremely powerful!

To him, some lingering thoughts and miscellaneous thoughts might just be the sound of ants.

However, Xiaoman was too weak.

Even though her sword heart was firm, it was inevitably affected and corroded.

Her face slowly became sharp, and her originally pure white nose became even more straight. Little Red spots slowly appeared on her face.

There were fine circuits left in the lines of her skin.

Xiaoman finally could not help but kneel down.

She held her sword and tried hard to resist the wavering and distortion in her divine soul.

Bit by bit, she suppressed the distracting thoughts of the Asuras that had been devoured. She also suppressed the distracting thoughts that remained when the Asuras devoured mortals.

This made her hair wet and her face become ferocious.

After an unknown amount of time.

The turmoil in her soul was finally suppressed.

Xiaoman panted heavily as she looked at herself in the stream.

She was still an eighteen-year-old girl, graceful and graceful.

But…

“I have to persevere…” she told herself.

But she understood that she might not be able to persevere for long.

Now, she had just embarked on the path of soul-devouring cultivation.

She had only killed a dozen low-level Asuras.

However, her soul had already been corroded and shaken.

If she continued to act recklessly, Xiaoman knew that she would become a heavenly demon before the completion of the pill.

But what could she do?

She could only brace herself and carry on.

“At least, I should get rid of the Asuras in Green Mountain Town first!” Xiaoman stood up and looked at the ruins of Green Mountain Town under the setting sun.

Today, she spent half a day cleaning up the low-level asuras wandering around the outskirts of Green Mountain Town.

This allowed her to safely devour the souls of more than ten low-level asuras.

While completely eliminating these monsters and preventing them from resurrecting, it also allowed her soul to grow stronger.

Now, Xiaoman’s soul had grown from the size of a bean sprout to the size of a pea.

Its quality was equivalent to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage!

This was an unparalleled cultivation speed.

Breaking through the state in half a day!

Even the legendary immortals and gods couldn’t achieve this at Xiaoman’s level.

However, it was still too weak!

Xiaoman knew that it was hard to deal with the Blood Queen of Green Mountain Town.

As an Asura, the queen had already reached the peak of Asura.

It was just a little bit away from transforming into a heavenly devil.

However, Xiaoman had no other choice!

Asura and Heavenly Devil had a special way of sensing.

They could sense the change in the number of their own people within a certain range.

So, if they didn’t attack Qingshan town immediately, once the asura in Qingshan Town were mobilized, Xiaoman would never have another chance.

Holding her sword, Xiaoman walked forward step by step.

She didn’t have time; she had to attack Qingshan town as soon as possible!

…

Ling Ping’an watched the figure of the young girl disappear at the door.

He couldn’t help but scratch his head. “What’s going on…”

“Why did she leave as soon as she said she wanted to buy books…”

The young bookstore owner was greatly agitated.

“Don’t tell me… I’m really not suitable for business?” He was a little depressed.

Meow!

The kitten’s Meow sounded in his ears.

His wet and hot tongue licked the back of his hand.

Ling Ping’an raised his head to look at his pet and stroked its head. “Little Boy, don’t worry about me!”

“I’m very strong!”

He revealed a very bright smile. “I’ll work hard to get along well with the customers!”

A bookstore was essentially a service industry.

Since it was a service industry, it was his job to serve the customers well.

If business wasn’t good, he would definitely have to reflect on it.

Ling Ping’an felt that he should adjust his attitude.

He should serve every customer well.

No more scaring people.

“Well…”

“I should pay more attention to what I say in the future…” said Ling Ping’an.

As a gentleman, he kept in mind the main characteristic of a gentleman, which was to reflect on oneself.

It was also a fine tradition of the federal empire to be introspective and to find fault with oneself.

That was why this country could last for three hundred years without declining.

Thus, he turned on the television, took the remote control, and tuned it to the popular science education channel.

He planned to listen to the lecture properly and cleanse his mind once again.

On the television screen, the figure of a scholar appeared.

He was standing on the podium and lecturing.

Ling Ping’an looked at the title on the television. That was a lecture on the three-hundred-year-old Empire.

He nodded and amplified his voice to listen carefully.

Coincidentally, the scholars on the podium were talking about the story of Taizu’s establishment.

“Three years after Taizu prospered the country, Emperor Taizu was already prepared to establish the principles of our current charter…”

“The first rule is to prohibit the foolish people…”

“When Emperor Taizu summoned the governor of Jingchu, Li Dacheng, to the capital for an audience, he explained this in detail…”

“Taizu’s original words were: When I read history recently, I only managed to read two words from the annals of history, ‘foolish people’…”

“This is very bad!”

“Why did we raise the Army?”

“So many brothers died on the battlefield, and for what?”

“So that our descendants can continue to fool the people? !”

“This is not good!”

“This foolish people’s strategy has caused a lot of harm!”

“The people under my rule should not be stupid!”

“Therefore, when Gaozong convened a meeting of ministers and officials in his later years to agree on the Magna Carta… the first clause of the Magna Carta was that ‘the right to education must be protected in the metropolitan territory of the Federal Empire and all independent kingdoms. States and any individuals must not obstruct the people from exercising this right’!”

“Gaozong even announced in his posthumous edict that ‘everyone is born with the right to receive education’. This is an unspoken truth! I hope that one day, the son of a tenant farmer and the son of a landlord will sit hand in hand in front of a desk in a classroom… I hope that one day, the children of nobles and commoners will be taught in the same school..”

“In front of education, everyone is equal! In front of opportunity, everyone is equal!”

Ling Ping’an could not help but sigh when he heard this. “A wise monarch and a wise leader are just so-so!”

The people of the federal empire were very close to the royal family.

It was not only because the royal family had taken the initiative to relinquish power, but also because the royal family had always been the strength to promote progress!

Education, equal rights for men and women, protection for women..

Public Health and infrastructure…

Behind the shadows of countless things, there was the royal family.

After lamenting, he laughed again.

This was because the first article of the Magna Carta of the Federal Empire, in the two hundred years of its development history, had a total of three great guardian interpretations.

One of them was directed at the media.

This great guardian interpretation stated that the media and all other public platforms were not allowed to spread unverified and unconfirmed news and events (except entertainment) to the public.

This, to a certain extent, limited the spread of rumors.

But instead, it allows conspiracy theories to flourish because a lot of things were not reported on the media.

But the people are spreading it everywhere.

So, a lot of people instinctively feel that there is a conspiracy behind this or the central federal government is covering up something shameful.

News like Bermuda Triangle and the Yungui Sun Financial Group were all leaked because of this.

There was no other way!

No media dared to take the risk of violating the constitution to make any reports.

Violating the constitution was not a joke. People would die.

As a result, the people would naturally start to imagine.

And the Federal Empire had already been 300 years old.

Although this huge machine was still sound, it was inevitable that some things had aged.

As a result, a group of conspiracy theories and Hatreds was formed.

Things about dragons and monsters, or even ghosts, had been spread around in private.

Surprisingly, the people also believed in such rumors.

Even after that, the central federal government could not stand it anymore and organized a few national television stations to create a program, ‘approaching science’ to popularize and refute the folk legends.

The program team entered the land of legends that had been circulating among the people for a long time to find the truth. Then, they found a bunch of grand masters to explain it scientifically.

But…

Doing so had the opposite effect.

That was because many people didn’t believe it at all.

Even if the truth was right in front of them, they wouldn’t believe it.

In addition, that program liked to do some slutty things. Slowly, it was ridiculed on the internet.

Therefore, not only were the rumors not clarified, they spread even further and wider.

In recent years, with the rise of the mobile internet, the Internet, this new platform, added fuel to the fire.

Even Jiangcheng City seemed to have many strange urban legends emerging.

Recently, the streets near Ling Ping’an were rumored to have ‘literary star blessed land’, ‘literary prosperity’, and so on.

This caused housing prices to rise continuously, and there were even new residential areas that needed to be developed in the vicinity.

One had to know…

There hadn’t been any new developments in this area for more than ten years.

Thinking of this, Ling Ping’an could only shake his head. “Everyone is like a dragon, and the world is full of Yao and Shun…”

“Great Ancestor’s last wish hasn’t been fulfilled even today!”

There was no other way, this was reality.

Especially after the material wealth had been enriched, many people had nothing to do.

“Why are you thinking so much?” He suddenly laughed. “Let’s write some words…”

“After all, I’m not the real Tao Yuanming…”

…

At noon, Aning, who was carrying her school bag, opened the door. Aning opened the door.

She happily held the hand of the person behind her.

In the past few days, Aning had been staying at the school teacher’s house.

Today, her brother finally came back and even went to the school to pick her up.

Aning was very happy!

“Brother, I learned a poem these few days!”

“Let me recited it for you…”

“The grass on the plains grows old, the wildfire cannot be burn them out, for they will be revived by the spring breeze!”

He listened to Aning’s innocent-sounding recitation of the poem.

Zhou Ke laughed.

However, his face was a little pale, and he looked a little weak.

Aning noticed this and immediately asked, “Brother, What’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing…” Zhou Ke said, “Brother just went on a long trip…”

He reached out and pinched his cheek, stuffing a tentacle that was about to jump out of his control back.

Then, he turned around and pulled the skin on his face closer.

He squatted down and said to Aning, “Do you remember what I told you before he left?”

Aning nodded vigorously and said, “I remember! Brother wants me to look at the stars while praying at night…”

Aning took out a piece of paper that she had been keeping in her pocket.

“If you see that the stars are gone, go to the brother in the bookstore and ask the brother in the bookstore to take care of Aning…”

“Aning looks at the stars every day!”

“The stars are always there!”

Zhou Ke smiled and patted aning’s head. “Such a good child!”

He took the paper and put it away solemnly.

Stars were the symbols of the old rulers.

Because in a sense, every old ruler was a star.

Therefore, Ghroth was an avatar.

Wherever he passed, the sonorous song of the celestial body would wake up a sleeping old ruler and destroy the world.

In a sense, instead of saying that Ghroth had woken up the old days, it was more like he had summoned the old days.

Aning looked at her brother and asked naively, “Brother, where have you been these past few days?”

“A very far place…” Zhou Ke stroked the little girl’s head and said.

“Oh!” Aning nodded and did not ask anymore.

She walked to the sofa, picked up the remote control, and turned on the television.

The television began to play cartoons.

Zhou Ke, on the other hand, walked to the kitchen and looked at the squid and octopus in the aquarium on both sides.

He slowly peeled off his face, allowing the imprisoned tentacles and mouthparts to breathe.

In his eyes, he could not help but recall this trial.

That was truly a terrifying ancient battlefield!

Several ancient foreign gods had fought there before, and the aftermath had shattered the galaxy.

There were countless old days that had been born because of the gods fighting there.

Even for him, it was a narrow escape before he could complete the trial.

Fortunately, all these sacrifices were worth it!

He finally understood what was needed to become a foreign god?

Rules!

How to control and occupy a rule!

However, none of this was important!

Zhou Ke put the human skin back on his face and tried his best to suppress the violent and crazy thoughts in his soul.

He knew that he only had one thing to do now.

And that was…

To be ready to cook whatever he liked for the ruler at any time.

To be on standby at all times!

…

Xiaoman Strode into Green Mountain Town with her sword in hand.

This once prosperous city had long been dilapidated.

The houses had basically collapsed.

The roads were full of weeds, and some white bones could be vaguely seen among the weeds.

She walked among them with her sword in hand.

Those distracting thoughts and lingering thoughts were still disturbing her ears, and she had to spare some of her strength to resist them.

Therefore, she had already lost her sense of hearing.

She could only look at her eyes and soul to sense her enemy.

Soon, she felt a distorted soul coming toward her.

She jumped up lightly and saw dust flying in the alley ahead.

A deformed giant monster was running toward her.

“Ghost demon!”

Xiaoman recognized it at a glance. It was the largest and most destructive monster among the Asuras!

This type of Asura was the creation of the sky demons, who tossed a great demon’s body into the furnace and crush it before sewing it back together. During the sewing process, the sky demons would stuff multiple Asuras into the body.

Therefore, the Asuras that were stuffed into the furnace through this method were unable to leave the body of the ghost demon.

On the contrary, the sky demons’ intelligence was obliterated by the furnace.

All that was left was the craziest desire.

One should not underestimate the fact that there was only one ghost demon.

But…

Xiaoman knew that every ghost demon had asuras that were responsible for different actions.

Some controlled their actions, some controlled their battles, and some controlled their food.

Moreover, the souls and flesh of the people or demons that were devoured by these monsters would not be digested by them.

The sky demons would come to collect these things at regular intervals.

Therefore, behind every ghost demon was a crazy and powerful sky demon!

In the calamity of the fall of the heavens, the sky demon swept the world.

The ghost demons were the fighters of the heavenly demons, used to clean up the mortals and towns in the mortal world!

In the legends, the ghost demons were the asuras who were chased back to the void from the mortal world.

The heavenly demons were very dissatisfied with them, so they stuffed them into the bodies of the ghost demons.

They made them their slaves and fighters.

Fortunately, these things had lost their intelligence because they were too painful during the suturing process.

Otherwise, Xiaoman would have already left by now.

Because these ghost demons were so strong that they were almost on par with the Sky Demon!

Xiao Man looked at the monster that had been sutured. It supported its four deformed legs and charged at her at high speed.

She smiled.

If she went over, she wouldn’t be able to do anything to such a monster.

Because this thing had thick skin and thick flesh. Unless it was a cultivator below the core formation realm, it would be impossible to break its defense.

As for core formation realm cultivators, once they appeared, the sky demon would immediately sense them.

This made this thing almost become the most destructive Shura monster in the catastrophe of Heaven and earth.

However, Xiaoman looked at the soul fire on her sword. She knew that her soul fire liked this kind of simple and crazy monster the most.

Thus, she rushed toward the monster.

The soul fire was singing loudly with the long sword in her hand.

When she was less than fifty steps away, Xiaoman fiercely threw the long sword in her hand.

The sharp sword stained with the soul fire cut through the air.

The Ghost Demon’s brains, which seemed to be pieced together by a bull’s head and a deer’s head, raised up. Its cloudy eyes looked at the sword that was thrown at it in confusion.

With its simple intelligence, it could not tell what was going on.

But its instincts told it that it was very dangerous!

So, it immediately dodged instinctively.

However, at such a close distance, it was not enough to make its deformed body react!

Even if it could, because it was not an Asura who was responsible for judging and acting.

So, the sword that was stained with soul fire accurately stabbed into its skin.

It only penetrated an inch of its skin and gently hung on its huge body.

The Ghost Demon’s eyes clearly showed a puzzled expression.

However, its simple intelligence was not enough to make it understand the seriousness of the situation!

Hence, it continued to run at high speed, and its body was burning with raging flames!

The Soul Fire quickly ignited the grease in the demon corpse.

It also ignited the two asuras that the ghost demon used to fight.

The Soul Fire quickly spread.

The entire ghost demon was burning in the raging flames.

It turned into a burning monster that was running.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle…

The air was filled with the rich fragrance and stench of meat.

Xiaoman endured her nauseous instinct and walked forward.

The ghost demon had already collapsed in a collapsed courtyard.

The Earth and rocks landed on its body, but the flames were still burning.

In the burning flames, ghost-like phantoms rolled around like monsters.

They were burning!

They would be burned to the ground!

As the flames slowly extinguished, bits of soul fire were cast at Xiao Man.

With the return of the soul fire.

Xiaoman’s expression immediately turned pained.

She felt the pain of that great demon being thrown into the heavenly devil furnace in the Void.

Every inch of her skin seemed to be ground into pieces, every bit of flesh and blood seemed to be ground into pieces.

She crouched down in pain.

Faint traces of blood appeared on her face.

The colorless fire revolving in her pupils became even more vigorous.

And beside her ears, painful wails and desperate screams continued without end.

There were also all sorts of reluctance and longing.

These reluctance and longing belonged to those asuras!

Xiaoman clenched her fists and bit her lips.

Until her lips were bitten and her nails dug into her flesh.

However, this physical pain could not compare to the vigor of her spirit because Xiaoman could clearly taste the thoughts of the living beings from these shattered thoughts!

It was the reluctance of the living beings to give up on life before they died.

It was the resentment of the living beings who kowtowed in front of the gods a thousand times but still couldn’t get their wish!

It was the sorrow of the living beings when they lost their beloved!

These remnant thoughts were the lowest level of the Shura souls.

They were the things that could still be left after being melted by the demonic furnace, sewn into the demon corpses, and burned by the soul fire!

In other words, this was actually the essence of Asura!
