I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon Chapter 461

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Wee woo, wee woo.

A few police cars came to the front of the ruined factory with their lights on.

A valiant-looking young female police officer walked out of the police car with her men.

Behind her were some very young police officers.

There were about ten of them.

These police officers seemed to be a little nervous.

“Newbies?” Ling Ping'an thought, “Interns who just graduated from the Police Academy?”

Probably only such a young boy would be so nervous.

Looking at their awkward expressions, Ling Ping'an smiled and went forward to welcome them.

“Excuse me, are you from the Northern Road Branch?” He tried to make his voice as gentle as possible to avoid causing pressure to these policemen.

The female police officer in the lead seemed to be shocked when she saw him. Although she hid it well, Ling Ping'an still noticed the flash of panic in the female police officer's eyes.

“What's the situation?” Ling Ping'an found it difficult to understand.

“Yes…” the other party seemed to be trying very hard to calm herself down, and then she squeezed out a smile, “I'm Grade B police chief of the Northern Road Branch, Ning Qinghong!”

She sized up the scene. On her pure white neck, it was obvious that she was swallowing her saliva.

Then, she said, “I'm here under orders to receive… um… criminals…”

Ling Ping'an chuckled.

He pointed to the ten or so people in black robes in front of him who had their hands raised and looked very obedient, “These… are members of the criminal gang…”

“And their leader…”

Ling Ping'an glanced at the guy who was still in a daze from the fall, “It's him! He seems to be some Elder Ancestor…”

…

Ning Qinghong tried her best to calm herself down.

At the same time, she comforted her companions through the spiritual link. “Don't be afraid… Don't be afraid… Young Master Ling won't hurt us…”

However, only the endless panic of her companions could be seen in the spiritual link!

Some of them were so scared that even their psionic power was frozen.

There was nothing they could do!

The scene before their eyes was too horrifying and terrifying.

The ground seemed to have been hit by a meteorite.

Dense cracks that looked like spider webs extended into the thick fog.

Young Master Ling, on the other hand, was calmly stepping on the corpse under his feet.

The corpse that had been smashed into pieces by gravity!

Flesh, blood, bones and internal organs had already been mixed together, and it was difficult to distinguish one from the other.

The head deacon of the Yan Sheng Sect, the one who had held the corpse-dissecting ceremony, was known to be the most difficult person to kill in this world.

Now, he couldn't be any more dead.

The robe that he had entrusted to his body after the corpse-dissecting ceremony had been shattered by violence.

Every piece of the robe was stained with blood.

His soul was entangled by a black invisible tentacle.

The tip of the tentacle was completely open.

It was like a man-eating flower from the depths of a nightmare.

It was also like the evil ghost in that horrible nightmare.

Drops of mucus dripped down.

The wailing and begging of the soul entered their ears.

Above his head, a huge ghost god that was dozens of meters tall stood in the thick fog.

Its huge head hung over this area.

Three lantern-sized eyes sized up and examined everything with ill intentions.

Thus, the air was filled with a terrifying and dangerous aura.

Psionic power transmitted an extremely strange smell in the silence.

Indistinctly, there seemed to be countless ghosts wailing in the thick fog.

This was the most extreme terror.

It came from the earliest memories of fear of the ancestors.

It also came from the day when the intelligence was born. After understanding ‘who I was' and defining ‘my existence', the fear followed.

Everyone would die.

Regardless of whether it was an emperor or a general, or a transcendent being with great divine abilities.

Even Gods would fall and perish.

Thus, death itself became the source of fear.

No matter how strong a warrior was, no matter how smart a person was, they would still be afraid of death.

And now, death itself was revealed before their eyes.

So…

Even a general would die…

So…

Even someone as powerful as a general could be easily crushed to death like a chicken.

Ning Qinghong looked at the smashed corpse on the ground.

She felt the wails and pleas of the souls that were tightly bound and tortured.

There was only one sentence in her heart.

“Zhou is the son of heaven, and his death is worse than that of a common man!”

The chief deacon of the Yan Sheng Sect was said to be impossible to be killed by normal means, and the most perverted and heartless butcher among the wanted criminals in the Federal Empire.

Now, he had died even more miserably than a dog.

His soul was bound and constantly wailed and begged for mercy.

His current appearance was probably even worse than those innocent people who had died at his hands.

The voice of that person sounded very easy-going.

“These criminals are not only poaching the rare and precious species here…”

Ning Qinghong raised her head and saw many ghosts surrounding this person.

She gently reached out and bowed to one of the ghosts.

It was a straight figure in a black military uniform.

There was no doubt that this was a guardian of the Cross Slope.

“Look…”

“How cute are these little things?”

Ning Qinghong gulped and could only nod, “They are very cute!”

“They are protected, right?”

“Yes!” Ning Qinghong nodded vigorously.

The defenders of the Cross Slope were, of course, protected by the law.

In a sense, they were also members of the Blackguard.

These respectable warriors were all soldiers who had sacrificed themselves in the past.

Then, he heard that person say, “Apart from poaching… these people kidnapped several innocent people in an attempt to cover up their crimes!”

“In fact, after seeing me, not only did they not surrender, they even dared to resist…”

“I had no choice!” He shrugged, “It was just a small punishment and a small one!”

“Miss Officer!” He held his foot with a smile and gently stepped on the broken limb on the ground, “I can't help it either!”

Ning Qinghong gulped and said, “I understand!”

She thought of this person's character, so she tried hard to squeeze out a smile, “Young master, I will report your righteous deed to the higher-ups carefully!”

The other party listened and was very satisfied.

“Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Police Officer!”

“No trouble!” Ning Qinghong hurriedly said, “No trouble!”

…

Carrying Peng Chang, Zhang Hui landed on the top of a building in Luming Villa.

A few staff members who had been waiting for a long time immediately came forward to welcome him.

Zhang Hui threw the elder ancestor of the Witchcraft Gu Sect, who was now only about ten kilograms in weight, in his hand to those people and instructed, “Send him to the Extraordinary Research Institute of the Blackguard…”

“Tell the people at the research institute to carefully observe and record the actual data of this specimen and analyze it…”

The current elder ancestor of the Witchcraft Gu Sect had indeed become a specimen.

He… No… It… Its final value was probably to provide the Blackguard with a report on the research and analysis of the unknown magic art.

Perhaps it could be of some use!

“Yes!” An official handed Peng Chang to a few staff members.

Then, he said to Zhang Hui, “General, the capital's Public Security Bureau just received a call from the police… It's from that person… he said that he caught a group of criminals…”

Zhang Hui listened and slowly curled his lips, “As expected…”

“That person still insists on his persona!”

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Hui asked, “Who will lead the team to take over?”

“Reporting to general, it's Madam Ning Qinghong!”

“Oh!” Zhang Hui nodded. He was not surprised.

Ning Qinghong was a typical example of the Blackguard.

In the past, the Blackguard had never had a foreign species that could reach the level of a general.

It wasn't that there weren't many foreign species in the Blackguard.

It was that the foreign species were actually very unaccustomed to the atmosphere of the Blackguard.

They always felt that the Blackguard oversaw things.

So many foreign species would submit a ‘retirement report' before they cultivated to the level of a general.

And the Blackguard and the Empire naturally knew the reason why it wasn't sweet to force things.

So, as long as they submitted a report, they would make sure that the other party had already made up their mind to leave before releasing them.

Ning Qinghong was the first foreign species expert to remain in the Blackguard after breaking through to the general level in the past two hundred years.

Naturally, she would be given preferential treatment.

If there were benefits, they would be given to her first in order to motivate the latecomers.

This was also a display: to show all the foreign species that we really treated them equally.

“Where is the commander-in-chief now?” Zhang Hui asked again.

“Reporting to general, commander-in-chief contacted us once ten minutes ago. Right now, his private plane should be above Liangzhou…”

Zhang Hui nodded and then turned around.

He looked at the movements in the direction of the imperial palace under the heavy night sky.

He could sense that the psionic power fluctuations in the direction of the imperial palace had stopped.

The battle had ended.

Therefore, he picked up the call and asked, “Brother Song, how's the situation?”

Song Shihui's faint laughter came through the communication device, “Fortunately, I didn't fail you. I've taken Qian Qianqiu's life!”

“Thank you for your hard work!” Zhang Hui hung up the call.

Qian Qianqiu, the Bat Demon, was not a foreign species.

To be more precise, he was a madman who had cultivated from a human into a demon.

In the era of the recovery of spirit aura, not only foreign species could cultivate into a human body and become a species that was almost the same as humans, humans could also cultivate some demonic magic art and turn themselves into demons.

Qian Qianqiu was one of them.

Moreover…

Qian Qianqiu was also an extremely special type among these demons.

It was said that he rose to prominence in the mysterious Realm of Nightmare.

He was a powerhouse in the Realm of Nightmare.

Therefore, he had a life-saving magic art.

It was not enough to kill him once.

He was not afraid of death!

“Realm of Nightmare…”

Thinking of the strange and mysterious Realm of Nightmare, Zhang Hui frowned.

The Blackguard had been searching for the Realm of Nightmare.

They had even set up a special organization to deal with it.

They had even sent many people into the Realm of Nightmare to explore it.

After making sacrifices, they gradually reached the threshold.

Unfortunately…

More than two months ago, all work on the Realm of Nightmare had been interrupted.

All the members of the Blackguard who had infiltrated the Realm of Nightmare would no longer be punished by the Realm of Nightmare for leaking information about the Realm of Nightmare.

However, this was even more troublesome because previously, the Realm of Nightmare had spaces and loopholes to explore.

That thing, in the research of the Blackguard, seemed to be a monster more like a computer than a human.

Its logic and programming were relatively rigid.

So, the Blackguard experimented with various safe means to bring out the secrets and intelligence of the Realm of Nightmare.

But two months ago, the Realm of Nightmare underwent a drastic change.

Since then, everything related to the Realm of Nightmare, whether it was language, words, or anything else recorded by any means was disrupted due to an incomprehensible reason.

Simply put, any words or language related to the Realm of Nightmare would be blocked by an incomprehensible strength.

Those who entered the Realm of Nightmare would talk about anything related to the Realm of Nightmare, others wouldn't be able to hear, see, or feel it.

“The various anomalies in the Realm of Nightmare…”

“It's very similar to that person's features…”

“Could it be… that person is the source of all the changes in the Realm of Nightmare?”

Zhang Hui thought.

If that was the case…

Perhaps, in the future, the Blackguard would be able to cooperate with him.

…

Ling Pingan looked at the female police officer in front of him and blinked, “Can I leave now?”

“Don't I need to make a statement?”

This was a little surprising.

Wasn't it always like this on television?

However, he was still very happy to be able to settle this matter so easily.

After all, it was already past one o'clock.

Ning Qinghong listened and shivered.

A statement?

How would she dare to let this person follow her to the police station to make a statement?

Thus, she revealed a sweet smile, “Young master… we have already understood the relevant matters clearly!”

“You have done a heroic deed tonight…”

“According to the law and the system, you can indeed leave!”

“Of course… if it's convenient for you, you can add me…”

“If there's anything else, or if I need to trouble you, I'll contact you again…”

When Ling Ping'an heard that, he immediately took out his phone happily.

However, the latter seemed to be dumbfounded as she stared blankly at Ling Ping'an's side.

Ling Ping'an blinked. He didn't quite understand, so he could only ask, “Miss police officer, is there a flower on my face?”

Ning Qinghong immediately shook her head and squeezed out a smile, “No!”

However, the shock and fear in her eyes couldn't be any greater!

That was because what she was seeing right now was extremely magnificent and mystical!

At the instant that the mysterious Young Master Ling took out his phone, Ning Qinghong saw the fog that covered the entire Cross Slope surging towards Young Master Ling like a tide.

It turned into thin wisps of smoke that burrowed into his skin and clothes.

The ten-meter-tall God was like a wisp of green smoke as he burrowed into his shadow.

In the blink of an eye, the thick fog disappeared completely.

The giant God also completely burrowed into his shadow and became an insignificant projection.

The moonlight fell from the sky.

His shadow was reflected on the ground and looked ordinary.

However…

Ning Qinghong was extremely shocked!

“That ghost… is just a projection of his shadow?”

This fact made Ning Qinghong extremely frightened!

Because if the truth was true…

Then…

How many things were hidden in his shadow?

Ning Qinghong took out her phone foolishly and scanned the other party's account. Then, she used her trembling hands to click on the friend request.

The other party clicked on the confirmation with a smile on his face and then put away his phone.

At this moment, a heroic spirit that had been lingering around him floated in front of Ning Qinghong and turned into a young female officer.

The heroic spirit saluted Ning Qinghong and then pleaded, “General… can you help us ask him for mercy…”

“Ask him to allow us to continue living here?”

Ning Qinghong listened, although she did not quite understand why these heroic spirits did not say it themselves.

However, she did not hesitate.

After thinking for a while, she mustered up her courage and asked in a tone that this person would like, “Young master…”

“Look at these little things… aren't they very cute?”

She gently hugged the heroic spirit.

Ling Ping'an looked at the little thing dancing in front of him and nodded with a smile, “They are very cute!”

“These little things appeared because of what happened back then, right?” Ling Ping'an asked, trying to complete his reasoning.

Ning Qinghong nodded, “Yes!”

After the recovery of the spirit aura, most people's souls would naturally dissipate after they died.

But in a few cases, there would be individuals who were attached to their previous lives.

These individuals became the ghosts.

Some were very kind, only wandering in their previous lives' paths and houses but there were also some who were very fierce.

They often became ghosts to harm people.

But regardless of whether they were kind or fierce, their existence, to the living, was harm.

Ghosts were extremely cold. Just wandering around would cause the people nearby to become mentally weak and sickly.

Therefore, the Blackguard had to build a demon suppression prison in the northwest desert.

They would send the ghosts they found to be placed there or to be judged.

However, the space of the demon suppression prison was limited.

Moreover, if the ghosts stayed there for too long, even kind ghosts would go crazy due to the cramped environment.

Until the Yan Sheng Sect laid down the Blue Fall Yellow Springs here, it brought a piece of the underworld from the Netherworld to the present world, blending with the present world.

This was a disaster, but of course, it was also an opportunity.

After pacifying the Yan Sheng Sect, the Blackguard sent all the ghosts found from all the countries in the world here, either to be placed or imprisoned.

The underworld was naturally much better for the ghosts than the prison in the northwest desert.

The dense yin Qi after midnight nourished the ghosts' souls and maintained their rationality.

It also allowed them to live here.

Thinking of these things, Ning Qinghong asked, “Young master…”

“They want to continue staying here…”

“Will you agree?”

Ling Ping'an smiled, “Why are you asking me about this?”

“This is their hometown…”

He gently held the two small fireflies, “Let them live happily here!”

The police officer's explanation let him know that he had guessed correctly.

These small insects were the victims of a pollution leak.

Some kind of mutated luminous insect.

“Let's not disturb their lives!”

There might still be poisonous substances left in this land.

Nature would slowly heal the wounds here.

Thus, Ling Ping'an held the two little insects and let them fly easily.

The little ones seemed to like him very much. More and more of them gathered around his hands.

Under the moonlight, hundreds of fireflies danced.

It was incomparably beautiful.

Ning Qinghong also looked on in a daze.

Everyone present raised their heads.

However, what they saw was an incomparably spectacular scene.

The moonlight was like water and the rays of light drooped down.

The earth beneath their feet slowly pulsated.

Thick and strong spirit aura gushed out from the cracks, nourishing the earth and the damaged mansions.

Faintly, Ning Qinghong heard a voice coming from this person's shadow.

“I grant you the authority to act as the city God!”

A glowing vestment appeared on the body of the female heroic spirit that was being hugged by Ning Qinghong.

The female heroic spirit looked at the vestment that suddenly appeared on her body in surprise.

Suddenly, she seemed to understand something.

She slowly bent her knees and bowed, “Zhuang Qiu accepts the order! Manor Lord!”

Ning Qinghong's eyes widened.

A thought rose from the bottom of her heart.

“This is an opportunity!”

Yes! This was the opportunity that everyone was chasing and wanting.

A chance for a carp to leap over the dragon's gate.

A flight of stairs to the heavens.

She finally understood why everyone was fervently pursuing and even doing all sorts of lowly things.

Because, the person in front of her, this mysterious Young Master Ling indeed had the power to turn stone into gold!

As long as he was happy, there was nothing he couldn't do!

Just like now…

A single word was like a God.

And he was the God who controlled the underworld!

City God!

What did this mean?

Ning Qinghong was too clear about it!

One had to know that in the legends, City God could have two roles at once.

As the saying went, the sun judged the Yang and the night judged the Yin.

In other words, this female heroic spirit called Zhuang Qiu had the opportunity to break the shackles of the ghost and obtain a physical body!

This was also the so-called second life!
