I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon Chapter 462

The criminals and victims were handed over to the police and he left his contact details to them.

Ling Ping'an felt that he could leave now.

He greeted the female police officer, “Miss Officer, I'm taking a leave first!”

Without waiting for her reply, he turned around and walked back along the road he came from.

As he walked, he hummed a tune happily.

“How old are you this year, dream?”

“You always seduce young friends…”

The singing voice that was out of tune reverberated in the night sky.

Ning Qinghong stared blankly at the back view that was slowly disappearing into the distance.

Under the moonlight, the thin young man walked slowly.

Darkness and the moonlight surrounded him.

It was as if he was worshipping, but also as if he was praying.

Turning around, Ning Qinghong looked at the scenery in front of her.

More than ten vicious members of the Yan Sheng Sect raised their hands, not moving at all, as if they were statues.

Obviously, they were imprisoned by some kind of magic art.

“Sir General!” A man wearing the robe of the Yan Sheng Sect quietly moved to Ning Qinghong's side, “I have rendered meritorious service to the federation and I have contributed to the country…”

“I have always been loyal to the federation rather than the camp I'm in!”

Ning Qinghong looked at him.

In her memory, this person seemed to have always been by that person's side.

However, when that person was around, his sense of presence was extremely thin.

It was to the extent that she had ignored him.

“What's your name?” Ning Qinghong asked.

“He Qi!” He answered with a lick of his face.

Ning Qinghong looked at him, “Then tell me in detail, what meritorious service have you rendered to the federation? And what have you contributed to the country?”

“The Blackguard has never wronged a good person… nor will they let go of a person!”

Since that person had left, he did not take this person away.

Based on his temper and personality, Ning Qinghong felt that he should have handed this person over to the Blackguard to deal with.

Of course, she still had to ask for instructions on the specifics.

…

Ling Ping'an followed the road and kept moving forward.

Soon, he found something very awkward.

There was no navigation here.

So..

“How do I get out?” He scratched his head and looked at the night sky, feeling a headache.

He couldn't tell the directions anymore.

When he turned on his phone, the internet signal was very poor.

He couldn't even open the map.

So..

“What should I do?” Ling Ping'an thought, “Go back and ask the police for help?”

“Isn't that too embarrassing?”

He thought about how he left in a carefree manner just now, leaving behind a majestic back view for the police.

But now, he ran back to ask for help?

He lost all his dignity and aura!

He could choose not to eat, but he couldn't mess up his hair style!

So…

He looked at the cat in his arms.

“Little cutie, I remember… you have the ability to recognize the way…”

He put the little cat down, “Let's go!”

“Lead the way!”

Meow!

The little cat landed on the ground and walked forward agilely.

Ling Ping'an immediately followed.

There was an old horse that knew the way and now there was a little cat leading the way.

It was an ordinary scene!

Half an hour later, under the lead of the little cat Bastet, Ling Ping'an returned to the bank of the small river.

The river was gurgling and the moonlight was beautiful.

He took out his phone and looked at the time. It was 2:15 am.

There was definitely no bus or subway at this time of the day.

Fortunately, the internet signal was better after crossing the river.

Ling Ping'an was able to successfully hail a taxi through the online car-hailing app.

It was just that..

It took a long time to wait for the car. After a full half an hour, it was almost 2:40 am when a driver picked up the order.

At around 2:50 am, the driver drove the car in front of Ling Ping'an.

“Young master…” the driver parked the car in front of Ling Ping'an and was extremely surprised, “It's so late. Why are you alone in this place?”

Ling Ping'an chuckled, “I was bored. I came out for a walk. I heard that this place is haunted, so I went over to take a look…”

“Hiss!” The driver was terrified, “Did you cross the river?”

“Yes!” Ling Ping'an nodded.

The driver's face was instantly filled with excitement.

He was in a state of shock until Ling Ping'an got into the car.

“Oh my God…” he muttered, “There's actually someone who can walk out of the Cross Slope in one piece…”

Ling Ping'an laughed as he listened to these words.

He wanted to tell the driver that there were no ghosts in this world and that he had to believe in science.

But on second thought, he remembered the truth that he had deduced.

The Cross Slope was an area where there was a large amount of toxic substances.

In order to prevent the public from entering, the authorities deliberately spread the relevant legend.

So…

If he broke the legend and caused the driver to enter the area by accident, wouldn't he be the one who harmed the driver?

Therefore, he smiled and touched the frame of his glasses. He pretended to be mysterious and said, “That's a mortal… A mortal, you can't go near this evil land!”

“I'm a man of Dao!”

Well…

A gentleman could be considered a man of Dao in ancient times.

Wasn't it said in the story book?

As long as one's body was upright and self-disciplined, no matter how evil the devil was, it couldn't hurt a gentleman at all!

The driver listened and said with respect, “I see!”

Then, his gossipy fire burned fiercely. As he reversed the car and turned around, he asked, “Young master… you are a person with great supernatural powers…”

“You must be an expert of the Dragon Group!”

“Ahem…” Ling Ping'an coughed and waved his hand, “I am a man of the mountains…”

“As for the Dragon Group?”

“When has the Federal Empire ever had a Dragon Group?”

The driver's eyes were filled with respect as he listened.

That was because he had been driving in the imperial capital for 20-30 years.

Naturally, he knew that the Federal Empire's Special Affairs Agency was not the so-called Dragon Group that was rumored.

The Dragon Group was just a wild guess by those who did not know but this passenger could casually point out this fact.

He was indeed an expert in the Dao. No wonder he could come and go as he pleased in such a dangerous place like the Cross Slope.

Thus, he used a respectful tone and said, “Then… young master, tonight, did you slay the demons in the Cross Slope?”

Ling Ping'an chuckled.

Since he had already decided to play the role of an expert in the Dao with great abilities, he would naturally exaggerate his abilities.

Thus, he cupped his hands and said calmly, “A mere demon is not worth mentioning!”

“Under my supernatural power, I will be able to fend off all evil and all ugly people!”

When the driver heard this, he looked forward to it and exclaimed, “Young master is truly a master!”

“It's a pity that I'm only a mortal and my Qi and blood have already declined… Otherwise, I would really have to abandon this mortal world and follow young master to cultivate Dao and ask for immortality…”

Ling Ping'an shook his head, “Cultivation is all about luck!”

“I naturally know!” The driver nodded. Then, he carefully looked at Ling Ping'an through the rearview mirror.

He realized that although this guest sitting in the backseat looked ordinary and had no memory of him, his expression was unrestrained and his eyes were dark and deep.

There was a faint pressure all over his body.

When people looked at him, they were afraid and did not dare to look at him.

“He is indeed an expert in the Dao!” As he thought about it, he pleaded in a low voice, “Young master… I have something to ask of you… I hope that young master will agree…”

“Hmm?”

“It's like this…” he said in a low voice, “All these years, I have often driven to and from the city… I have always been worried about encountering evil…”

“To tell you the truth…”

“My parents are still alive and my children are in college…”

“If anything happens to me, my family will fall!”

“So, I dare to ask you to light up my car and use some magical powers… I wonder if you're willing?”

At this point, the driver parked the car by the roadside.

Then, he turned around and cupped his hands,. “If you agree, I'll let you drive on your terms!”

After driving for so many years, he had seen and heard countless evil things.

Among his colleagues, there were cases where someone fell seriously ill or even lost his life due to encountering evil.

Last year, an old friend of his died in his car in the middle of the night.

After the official came to investigate, they came to a conclusion that he had been murdered.

Moreover, they patted their chests and insisted on seeking justice for the victims.

The state even came forward and gave a large sum of money as compensation.

Later, the official sent someone to inform the family of his old friend that the murderer had been shot to death.

Because he had a good relationship with his old friend, he knew that this was not a murder that the outside world knew about.

It was a case of an evil spirit harming people.

And that evil spirit was later killed by a few powerful official cultivators. The embers left behind by the evil spirit after its death were even sent to the tomb of his old friend to console him.

Therefore…

He had always been on tenterhooks, afraid that he would encounter a similar situation.

But what could he do?

The two children of his family were studying at a university in Nanzhou and the annual tuition and expenses were in the tens of thousands.

After graduation, they had to work, get married and buy a house.

Their parents also needed support.

Two years ago, in order to improve their living environment, they took out their life savings and paid a down payment on a small apartment.

Now, the monthly interest was seven or eight thousand.

And he only had one way to make a living.

After all, he was old and couldn't keep up with the times.

So, he could only grit his teeth and exchange his life for money.

In case of misfortune… he could at least get a pension.

He would leave his last bit of legacy to his children and grandchildren.

This was also the reason why he came here to accept this list that had been hanging on the platform for more than half an hour.

Everything was for money!

The journey from the North Road to the Luming Villa was dozens of kilometers. If the entire journey was by highway, the fare would be one to two hundred!

Who would have thought that they would meet a powerful expert because of this.

Perhaps…

He looked at the expert in front of him…

He looked young, but… this expert might be an old immortal who had lived for hundreds of years.

Naturally, he mustered his courage and seized the opportunity to make his plea because he knew that this might be the greatest opportunity in his life.

After this village, there would be no such shop!

Ling Ping'an listened and laughed.

“Master, what are you talking about?” He maintained his character of a master and cupped his hands, “It's just a small matter, nothing worth mentioning!”

“As for what conditions or not?” The corners of his mouth curled up mysteriously, “We cultivators have always been anxious for justice and it's our pleasure to help others!”

“Since you trust me, please wait for me to cast a spell for you…”

The driver listened and was instantly grateful, “Thank you! Thank you!”

He watched as the expert in the backseat of the car carried his cat, opened the car door and came to the front of the car.

Then, the expert asked, “You are asking for peace to ward off evil, right?”

The driver nodded vigorously.

Ling Ping'an chuckled and used his finger as a pen to draw in the air while mumbling something.

In fact, he was just drawing randomly and what he was mumbling wasn't some scripture, but numbers.

“12,345…”

“34,789…”

Anyway, he was just comforting him.

He wanted to give this driver a thought.

After all, according to Ling Ping'an's knowledge, this matter of ghosts and Gods was actually something that could be believed or not.

Since he believed it, then he should just put on an act!

But Ling Ping'an would not know, in the driver's eyes, what did he look like at that moment.

The driver swallowed his saliva and looked at the scene in front of him.

“He really is an expert!” He was extremely emotional.

In his eyes, he saw countless light spots dancing in front of his car.

In the light shadow, the figure of a divine lord wearing a crown appeared indistinctly.

Although he did not know which imperial emperor it was, countless golden light dots followed the finger of the expert as he gently drew an extremely mysterious mark in the void.

And the expert was muttering something.

The magnificent scripture was read out from his mouth.

Finally, all the unusual phenomena were outlined by him, turning into a golden emblem.

This emblem landed gently on the body of the car and disappeared into the body of the car in an instant.

The expert bowed his head and looked at ease as if he had done something insignificant.

He walked back and sat in the back seat of the car. He smiled gently and said, “Fortunately, I didn't fail you. From now on, your car will be safe and no evil will dare to approach it again!”

The driver nodded in a daze.

“With your method of opening the light…” he said respectfully, “It will naturally be able to ward off evil and stop the ugly!”

In his heart, he sighed with a myriad of emotions.

“As expected, there are indeed immortals in this world!”

He had seen everything with his own eyes.

It was truly the magic art of immortals, the Taoist magic art!

Thus, he carefully asked, “May I know your name, young master?”

“If you are willing to let me know, I will definitely offer incense sooner or later to pray for you!”

Ling Ping'an could not help but sigh. This driver was really a heavily feudal superstition.

Thus, he shook his head and continued to maintain his aloof image, “There's no need for that!”

“Cultivators of our generation have the upper body of destiny and the lower body of sentient beings…”

“We've always done good deeds without leaving our names behind!”

“Moreover, such a small matter is just a piece of cake!”

The chauffeur was a shrewd person. He knew immediately that this expert was tactfully rejecting him.

After thinking about it carefully, he also understood that such an expert would not care about the so-called offerings and money of a mortal like him?

Tonight, he was lucky to have met such an expert and an otherworldly immortal.

It was already an opportunity for him to make a move.

If he were to force it, it would not be pretty.

Therefore, the driver thanked him profusely, “Thank you so much!”

Ling Ping'an chuckled, “You're welcome!”

In his opinion, he was just bluffing.

Therefore, in order to prevent the chauffeur from becoming addicted to feudal superstitions and falling into the trap because of him, he said seriously, “Master, there's something I need to tell you…”

The chauffeur immediately sat up straight, “Please speak!”

“This first…” Ling Ping'an said, “The so-called Daoists and divine monks in the world nowadays are mostly people fishing for fame… You must remember not to be gullible so that you won't be deceived by those swindlers!”

“You must know that since ancient times, cultivators of our generation have been watching the ups and downs of the world with cold eyes…”

“They will not easily interfere in the affairs of the secular world…”

“They will only focus on cultivating peace and not be tainted by the slightest bit of dust!”

“All those who want money and things are all swindlers!”

The driver immediately nodded, “You're right!”

In his heart, the expert in front of him was instantly incomparably tall and holy.

He even immediately matched him with those legendary immortals who played in the human world.

Lu Dongbin, Tie Guai Li, Ji Gong…

Such immortals were naturally like this and they were also like this!

Ling Ping'an said again, “The second reason… cultivators like peace and quiet, but don't like trouble…”

“Remember not to take the initiative to spread what happened today…”

“Or else…”

He chuckled.

The driver's heart skipped a beat and he immediately nodded in agreement, “Yes! I will remember your request!”

“I will not spread what happened tonight!”

Ling Ping'an narrowed his eyes and smiled, “That's good!”

This way, he was not lying and the driver felt at ease, so he could be bold enough to drive from now on.

Win-win ah!

Appropriate!
