I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon

Ling Ping’an walked over and finally saw the man clearly.

He was indeed a madman!

He was wearing a black robe and his entire body was covered tightly.

He had the demeanor of the mastermind in a suspense movie.

He was still mumbling something and no one knew what he was mumbling about.

Anyway, Ling Ping’an didn’t understand.

He watched as he chased after those firefly-like insects, pouncing from east to west.

They bounced around like clowns in cartoons he watched when he was young.

However, he did catch a few fireflies.

Ling Ping’an saw him with his own eyes and put a firefly into a strange bag.

Then, he laughed evilly.

“Why would a madman catch a firefly?” Ling Ping’an thought, “Could it be… poaching?”

After thinking carefully, Ling Ping’an felt that there was such a possibility!

Therefore, he was a little excited.

Bravery was the virtue of a gentleman.

Back then, at the Little Red Flower Kindergarten in Jiangcheng City, he was a good kid who would give even a cent he found to the police uncle!

Adhering to the concept of a gentleman, Ling Ping’an walked over.

As he walked, he shouted, “Stop!”

At this moment, he felt that his entire body was filled with righteousness.

Wen Tianxiang’s poem surged in his chest.

The heaven and earth had righteousness and it was a mixture of the sun, the moon and the river below.

It also had the demeanor of Li Taibai.

Once three cups of wine taken, one was willing to do anything for other.

A madman or a poacher who came to the wilderness in the middle of the night?

He would represent justice and capture this monster!

…

“Hehehe…”

The black-robed man laughed weirdly and threw out invisible talismans with both hands.

This was the signature of the Yan Sheng Sect.

Their talismans were not written on paper.

They were carved in the soul.

The soul was the paper, the soul was the ink.

The resentment was the inkstone and the blood was the brush.

Therefore, it was the strangest and most bizarre thing and it was the heaven suppressing all soul bodies.

In just a few minutes, a few of his comrades were captured and put into the life soul bag.

“You mortals who refuse to accept your fate even after you die…”

“Obediently become my cauldron!”

There was an evil sect among the transcendent being that specialized in using other transcendents as cauldrons.

Under the banner of dual cultivation, they stole from the truth.

As for the Yan Sheng sect, they took it one step further.

They didn’t even need to dual cultivate. They directly used strange magic art to extract the victim’s soul.

It was either used for cultivation or for refining artifacts.

Therefore, the Yan Sheng Sect was a huge threat to the Federal Empire.

Because of a slight carelessness, they hid in the bustling city and could cause a catastrophe at any moment!

Only Zhuang Qiu’s soul had solidified quite a bit, so he could still bring his comrades to deal with the black-robed man from the Yan Sheng Sect.

Otherwise, they would have already fallen into his hands.

However…

Zhuang Qiu’s resistance made the black-robed man even more excited.

“Keke…”

“This female ghost has probably already cultivated a trace of Yang fire in her soul!”

“This is a high-quality spirit!”

Therefore, he opened his arms and evil talismans danced in the air.

They enveloped Zhuang Qiu and her comrades.

It seemed like he was planning to delay them.

He was going to make use of the inherent flaws of ghosts.

He was going to tire them out.

As he released the talismans, he laughed strangely, “Don’t think about waiting for any help…”

“This time, my ancestor’s true body has personally descended and activated ‘Blue Fall Yellow Springs’!”

“That old ghost in the Cross Slope is probably like a clay bodhisattva crossing the river right now. He can’t even protect himself!”

“Without that old ghost restrain, a million malicious ghosts will emerge from the Cross Slope…”

He laughed strangely, “This day next year will be the Little Emperor’s death anniversary!”

As he said this, he was extremely proud.

In front of him, it was as if he could see countless people struggling and wailing.

One iconic building after another collapsed, countless buildings collapsed.

The hundred ghosts nocturnal journey. The once capital city of the human world had turned into the purgatory ghost capital.

And he and the entire Yan Sheng Sect could use this to take a step forward!

Perhaps, they could even grasp a divine artifact from the underworld.

From then on, they would jump out of the cycle of life and death. And they would neither turn old nor dead!

Thus, the world was their paradise!

Suddenly…

An incomparably oppressive roar came from behind him.

“Stop!”

“Who is it?” He was extremely shocked.

One had to know that he was an elite of the Yan Sheng Sect and had the strength of a lieutenant colonel.

With the psionic sense of a lieutenant colonel, not to mention a human, even a fly that appeared within a hundred steps of him would be immediately detected.

However, the other party quietly appeared behind him.

Moreover, he did not notice it at all.

He was shocked, but he subconsciously turned his head back.

Hence, he saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

A dark, thick fog rolled over from behind him.

It was as if the sky had descended.

At this moment, the entire world was dim.

And in the thick fog, a figure carrying a cat slowly walked over.

“Who is it?” The black-robed man asked subconsciously.

He heard the other party said softly, “Me?”

“Evil creature!” An incomparably dignified voice filled with coldness and cruelty sounded at the same time.

“I am…” the corner of his mouth curved slightly.

“Jiangcheng City’s Little Red Flower Kindergarten’s primary three class, nap king…”

That dignified voice solemnly announced, “I am… the Lord of the Netherworld…”

The two voices overlapped, “The winner of Jiangcheng City’s Industrial Elementary School’s Award for bravery (the king of the dead, the uncle of Youdu, the minister of Houtu!)”

Amidst the rolling thunder, the face of the young man in front of him gradually distorted.

A terrifying golden pupil grew out of his forehead.

A single horn drilled out from the top of his head.

The shadow was indistinct, as if there was a monster with the face of a tiger, the body of a cow and three tails. It stood tall and upright, swallowing the sun and moon.

Its divine eyes were like torches, illuminating all directions.

The cold aura of the entire Cross Slope instantly dissipated because of its appearance.

What replaced it was…

A heavy suffocation and a terrifying pressure!

The moment the black-robed man heard these voices, his entire body went limp because his natural enemy had appeared!

…

Ling Ping’an looked at the black-robed man. Under his righteous rebuke, he retreated repeatedly and finally fell to the ground.

He scratched his head, “Is he so weak?”

He was scared with just a few words?

Was the physical condition of people nowadays so poor?

Immediately, he began to worry.

“What if… something happens to him… Will his family sue me?”

Ling Ping’an thought about it and smiled, “I don’t have to be afraid…”

If he were to face a lawsuit, there was no need for him to appear.

That was because he was a class A meritorious orphan.

According to the rules, he could enjoy legal aid from the Ministry of Justice for the rest of his life.

Moreover, he would also receive the assistance of the legal advisers of the cabinet’s Federal Committee for the Children of Meritorous Contributors.

To put it bluntly, he could summon a luxurious legal team anytime and anywhere for free!

This was his right!

Of course, Ling Ping’an also understood that it was best not to trouble those people.

Moreover, if he really started a lawsuit, it would be very troublesome for him.

If he had to appear in court…

Thus, he walked forward.

…

Dong dong dong…

The earth seemed to be shaking.

Psionic power trembled in fear and even the air seemed to freeze.

The divine eyes on his forehead were blooming with boundless majesty.

That was the majesty of a king.

The majesty of the King of the Dead!

After sleeping for countless years, in the ancient mythical grade era, the Uncle Ghost who had once received orders from Houtu and held the power of Youdu had returned.

The single horn on his head was slowly shaking.

It was as if there was an ancient poet singing on the other side of history: The soul has returned, there is no evil in Youdu! The Earth God has nine promises, its horns are pretentious!

Thus, Zhuang Qiu and her comrades could not help but float to the front of the approaching figure.

They slowly lowered their heads.

They greeted the master of all the dead souls and the dead.

The King of the Netherworld who ruled Youdu in ancient times.

The first Lord of the underworld who was ordered by the Houtu to control life and death.

…

Ling Ping’an watched as the fireflies flew in front of him.

They circled around him like a group of midnight elves around the main character of a fairytale.

He laughed.

“Little guys… I’m not going to play with you guys for now…”

He squatted down and stretched out his hand to check the breath of the person who had fallen to the ground.

Hmm…

He was still alive.

Therefore, he took off the bag from the other party’s waist.

He opened it gently and there were hundreds of fluorescent fireflies inside.

Ling Ping’an sighed, “He really is a thief!”

“This is against the law!”

According to the laws of the Federal Empire, poaching wild animals was an illegal act.

If they were classified wild animals, it was even more against the criminal law.

He looked at the bugs in the bag and found that some of them seemed to have become dispirited.

Therefore, he simply opened the bag.

Countless tiny fireflies danced in the air.

Ling Ping’an looked at them and felt a little dazed.

“Little guys… Hurry up and go back!”

“There are a lot of bad people out there!”

These fireflies that had been released refused to leave and surrounded him one after another.

The little cuties quietly flashed under the deep night sky.

At this moment, the person who had fallen to the ground seemed to have woken up.

He looked at Ling Ping’an with fear in his eyes. He got up and kowtowed, “Sir… sir… spare me!”

“I was ordered by someone…”

“Huh?” Ling Ping’an frowned, “You actually was ordered?!”

“This is a big case!”

The laws of the Empire were especially sensitive to gang crimes.

Generally speaking, gang crimes were more severe.

“It was Elder Ancestor… It was Elder Ancestor who told me to come here and capture these living souls…” he was extremely panicked and extremely afraid.

He had to be afraid!

From his perspective, the person in front of him had a divine gaze that illuminated all directions.

He had a single horn on his head and he exuded an awe-inspiring aura.

The Netherworld’s Qi surrounded him.

He was indeed the Lord of the Netherworld.

And the Divine Lord of the Netherworld…

He was capable of interrogating death and severing life!

And every word Ling Ping’an said carried an endless pressure.

It made him suffocate and it made him tremble!

He knew that if he said one wrong word, he would die without a chance of survival.

Moreover, after he died, he would definitely be processed for hundreds or even thousands of years!

“Living souls?” Ling Ping’an laughed.

He thought of those old guys in the Federal Empire who had all kinds of weird habits.

Thus, he was relieved.

After all, those guys liked to give wild animals and plants names that people couldn’t figure out.

In any case, they were very perverted!

And these fireflies looked like ghosts from afar. It was natural to call them living souls.

“Do you know that this is illegal?” Ling Ping’an asked.

The other party seemed to be frightened because he was caught in the act.

“I didn’t want to…”

“It’s all because of the Elder Ancestor’s coercion!”

“Hehe!” Ling Ping’an shook his head. He didn’t believe a word this person said.

“Where is your Elder Ancestor?” Ling Ping’an asked, “Bring me to him!”

The rationality in his heart told Ling Ping’an that the best choice was to call the police right away.

He should leave the matter to the police uncle to handle.

This way, he could ensure his own safety to the greatest extent and wouldn’t let the criminals escape.

But…

For some reason, he completely ignored his own rationality.

He clearly knew in his heart that he should do that but he was unwilling.

Instead, some strange thoughts appeared in his mind.

“Mortals…”

“How dare you covet my territory?”

“I want to nail your souls to the city walls of Youdu and be beaten by the cold wind for 10,000 years!”

A certain arrogant voice echoed in his heart but this thought was still the most normal because there were still a few completely illogical thoughts that were ready to move.

“It’s too wasteful…”

“Recently, I’ve been studying the celestial trade’s Xuan Bird Surrounds Sun Formation…”

“I’m lacking some labor…”

“Why don’t you leave it to me…”

“Send them to space orbit… and serve as the artifact spirit of the solar sail!”

“Watch them be blown by the solar wind for hundreds of years, until their bodies are scattered and their souls are destroyed…”

“It will definitely be fun!”

…

The man in the Black Robe looked at the Divine Lord in front of him while shivering.

Suddenly, the divine eye on the Divine Lord’s forehead suddenly shone.

A grand and majestic voice came from the divine eye.

“Mortal!”

“How dare you covet my territory!”

“I will nail your souls to the city walls of Youdu and beat them with the cold wind for 10,000 years!”

He was scared out of his wits and was about to kowtow and beg for mercy.

The Divine Lord’s face suddenly distorted.

The divine eye on his forehead disappeared.

A majestic crown appeared on his head.

The beads drooped down and a terrifying aura came towards him.

Mountains, rivers, suns and moons swirled around the beads.

Behind the mountains, rivers, suns and moons, there seemed to be countless bronze golem in the vast galaxy.

Ancient battle flags fluttered in the starry sky.

A voice filled with indisputable words exploded like thunder.

“It’s too wasteful…”

“I’ve been studying the celestial trade’s Xuan Bird Surrounds Sun Formation…”

“I’m lacking some labor…”

“Why don’t you give it to me… send them into space orbit… and refine them into the artifact spirit of the solar sail…”

“Watch them be blown by the solar wind for hundreds of years until their bodies become disintegrated and their souls perish…”

“It’ll definitely be fun!”

Following that, different voices came from the Divine Lord’s body one after another.

Each voice was more vicious than the last.

He was frightened and his crotch was wet with fear!
