684 Mysterious Nether

angry, he was beaten by his ghost messengers until his mouth was bleeding; I confronted him head-on and angered him, I was punished so badly that I couldn't even get out of bed. I should learn to be s...Following the trail of blood and gloom, we arrived at Huilong Village, a village slated for demolition and reconstruction.

This land has already been bought by Lin Yanhuan, who plans to tear it down and expose it to the sun for a few years. This will help dispel the gloom and evil spirits that have accumulated here.

This kind of place will have to be rebuilt sooner or later. It's better to have someone who knows what they're doing get started early, so we don't end up with another building that has ghost problems after it's finished.

I mentioned to Lin Yanhuan before that he acquired this piece of land afterward, and it's already being demolished in three phases according to the plan. The easternmost part is now a construction site.

This place has no feng shui to speak of. People who live here temporarily don't care about feng shui either. There are many newcomers, and neighbors move every few days. No one knows anyone else, but they can gamble together or have a brief fling.

Jiang Qiyun disliked this kind of place the most, even the bus he found very unpleasant. Perhaps celestial beings and gods especially valued "cleanliness" and "tranquility". This crowded place with people from all walks of life, noisy chatter, and a murky atmosphere was not to his liking, nor to Ji's. He kept frowning.

The Star Jun of Ji Dou is a difficult person to serve. He followed along just for "experiencing life," but even if it was just an experience, he's still a professional troublemaker!

A circle of people were gathered around a small table on the street stall, shouting something about “killing,” which caught his attention. He kicked a little ruffian aside with one foot and looked to see what they were playing.

As a result, this bunch of guys didn't cooperate. They threw down their cards and started shouting and making threats to fight him.

Jiang Qiyun raised his hand and put it on my shoulder, directly leading me forward. He said in a cold voice, "Just pretend he doesn't exist, let him make a fuss, the more you talk about him, the more energetic he becomes. Just let him exhaust himself. We should focus on our own business."

I glanced back nervously. He extended his long leg and hooked a street brawl weapon—a folding chair—swinging it with menacing force.

"What if he goes too hard" I asked with some worry.

"Well, then." Jiang Qiyun snorted coldly.

The two plainclothes officers leading the way received special instructions from Officer Lu. They were told to stay out of sight and avoid involvement, focusing instead on dispersing the crowd watching the scene.

The little imp said, "My Lord Emperor, the Yin soldiers chased after the fresh blood all the way to this alley..."

We followed his finger, and the alley was dark and narrow, with houses so close together that their eaves almost touched. Moss grew everywhere on the ground, and puddles of water seemed to be flowing from somewhere—it looked so dirty I didn't even want to step foot in it.

"This has blood." The plainclothes officer leading us whispered, "He definitely went this way, there's a lot of it."

"Well then, you two should probably withdraw first." I kindly advised.

The two plainclothes officers looked at each other and said, "Squad Leader Lu told us to listen to your arrangements, but if we leave, what will happen if you are attacked"

"It's alright, we have our own ways of handling these kinds of strange occurrences. Your presence here would only cause unnecessary casualties." I tried my best to persuade them to leave.

This narrow and long alley led to a demolition site. Some rooms along the way had lights on. As we were talking, a heavy and ominous air suddenly came from the end of the alley, mixed with the smell of blood as if a giant mouth was opening wide.

In the small room around them, light bulbs flickered out one after another. Someone immediately cursed and flung open the door—

It was a scrawny man with bare arms who lived in the innermost room. He pulled open the door and cursed as he walked out to see if anyone had jumped the fence.

He suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground as soon as he came out.

We stood on this side of the long alley, watching the shadowy mass at the end. The face of the transformed little demon contorted into a terrifying grin.

This is just a fleeting image, seemingly deliberately provoking us. Even two plainclothes officers saw it and thought they were seeing things.

"Holy crap, what is that!"

"Plainclothes officer, you guys need to get everyone out of this alley ASAP! Any excuse will do! Hurry up!" I urged.

Jiang Qiyun had already gone inside, and I was anxious to chase after him. I hurriedly instructed the two plainclothes officers and followed him into the building.

A faint gray mist hung around, and I vaguely heard the cheerful laughter of the little imp "Kaka kaka kaka".

"These two little demons have been roaming outside the Three Realms for so many years, becoming lawless." Jiang Qiyun coldly snorted.

They still retain the goblin's characteristic of "playfulness".

Some people who keep little ghosts have to treat them like a little ancestor, catering to their every whim and even playing with them.

Young people or novices who raise ghosts for fun, to appear cool, or to seek quick wealth often end up in a terrible situation.

Because ordinary people can't ultimately match the rational thinking of a "little demon."

These two little demons were imprisoned in a peach wood box for only a day or two before they couldn't stand it anymore. As soon as the box was opened, they abandoned their magical artifacts and fled.

Probably in the darkness, he saw the tallest and brightest television tower, so he ran toward it.

"Cackle cackle cackle cackle... This place is really great... Much more fun than that old village..." A faint voice, belonging to the little imp, echoed in the darkness.

"You dare to follow us, *giggles*, you'll have to pay the price..."

Dare they threaten us

Jiang Qiyun hid his blade like a concealed weapon, while these two young devils had just emerged from their confinement and were running wild, completely disregarding Jiang Qiyun.

Perhaps they didn't know who the man in front of them was.

“Tag, tag, let's play hide and seek! One hour is a round, tag, tag, Dacheng’s taken the bets. If you find us, even if you just catch one of us, the bets are yours…tag, tag, tag, tag…”

The little demon laughed heartily, Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Hide-and-seek Are you sure"

"Kkk, of course—" The little demon's words were cut short as a gust of ominous wind arose behind Jiang Qiyun. Hundreds of ghost soldiers, subordinates of the local City God, arrived.

These men were incredibly obedient in front of Jiang Qiyun, the great leader. Each one stood straight with their chests out, speaking carefully and acting in an orderly manner, not a single sound disrupting the silence.

...like the Terracotta Army in a pit...

These hundreds of ghost soldiers are playing hide-and-seek, I just want to know where the two little demons could be hiding, ugh...

"No way, no way! You're cheating! Cheating! Only the two of you wizards are allowed to participate! Everyone else participating is cheating! Don't you want the stakes!" This eccentric little demon, who should be called "Xiao Cheng," roared angrily.

Jiang Qiyun replied faintly: "I don't want it. What does the bet have to do with me You two demons and heretics, obediently surrender to be punished is the right way."

The other party fell silent. Facing such a venerated god, anything they did would likely be futile.

Although Jiang Qiyun scoffed at them verbally, he wasn't careless in his actions. He was compassionate and summoned the Yin soldiers to keep the little demon contained in this area.

After a while, I heard the sobs of a little girl coming from the darkness, she was still calling out for her father.

I've heard this voice before.

I wryly smiled and said to Jiang Qiyun, "Imperial Lord, it seems we can't let them break the agreement..."he pulled me over, and I sat on his lap."...The nameplate might end up in someone else's hands, or in a special place. I can't sense it for now. This isn't your problem, you just need to take care of...
