Chapter 486: Just a Demon

Although the underworld during the day is not as lively as the underworld at night, there are still many ghosts active outside.

An Yuan usually stays at home during the day to prepare for the Yinchai exam and does not go out, but today is the day when the Yinchai exam begins to verify one's identity, and this review is the same as the political review for civil servants in the world of the living.

It is necessary to examine whether the ghost has done anything that violated the law or moral bottom line when he was in the world.

This audit only requires the ghost to show up and walk around the audit area and it is done. This audit is conducted 24 hours a day, but each ghost exam only lasts hours.

Those who have not gone for the review after this time can only wait until the next time to take the review exam.

Because he had to go to work for Yang Fan at night, An Yuan chose to go out during the day to the law enforcement center for review.

It takes about twenty minutes to walk from where he lives to the nearest law enforcement center, which requires crossing a road that ghosts rarely pass by. However, it is close to the law enforcement point, so although the road is secluded, few ghosts dare to cause trouble there.

An Yuan quickly reached the road, which was deserted during the day.

When An Yuan was halfway there, he suddenly felt an unfamiliar force pulling him back. He staggered, and when he looked up, everything around him had changed.

The surrounding streets turned into a peach forest. The sky was still foggy, and peach blossoms were flying all over the sky, gorgeous and beautiful.

An Yuan was dazzled by the peach blossoms flying all over the sky. He subconsciously raised his hand to catch a falling peach blossom. The peach blossom fell into the palm of his hand, and in an instant, he felt a burning pain.

There is something wrong with this peach blossom!

An Yuan took a breath and hurriedly threw away the peach blossoms in his hand. The next second, his face was burned by the falling peach blossoms again.

Where exactly is this place? Why did he suddenly come here?

An Yuan didn't have time to think about these two questions. The flying peach blossoms kept falling on him, burning his soul. He had no choice but to dodge in a panic.

Just as he was dodging in a panic, a gust of wind blew up, and the peach blossoms flying in the sky were rolled into ropes. In particular, a sharp arrow fell from the sky at high speed and headed straight for An Yuan's chest.

An Yuan instinctively wanted to escape, but countless vines suddenly grew out of the ground and spread over his body in a breath, trapping him firmly in place. He was unable to break free and could only watch as the peach blossom arrow shot towards him.

Is he going to die again?
An Yuan closed his eyes in despair.

Just when the sharp arrow was about to pierce him, a black figure fell from the sky, a cold light flashed, and with a bang, countless peach blossoms scattered and then broke into powder.

"You're so brave to do it right in front of the law enforcement center!"

A steady and powerful male voice sounded in front of An Yuan. An Yuan was stunned for a moment, hesitated for two seconds, and slowly opened his eyes. What he saw was a tall figure. The familiar uniform made him suddenly feel relieved.

Saved.

A white light flashed before his eyes, and the vines that bound An Yuan were cut off, and he regained his freedom.

After An Yuan was rescued, before he had the chance to say thank you to the other party, everything in front of him suddenly went dark and he was taken to an unknown place. It was pitch black around him, but not dangerous.

A voice came from above, "Stay in there for a while. I'll take this evil ghost away and then take you out."

An Yuan realized belatedly that the evil messenger thought he was in the way and was delaying his work, so he temporarily took him away.

An Yuan's words of thanks came from the brocade bag-like thing hanging on Qi Feng's waist. Qi Feng nodded lightly, then raised his head and looked forward.

Countless peach blossoms gathered in front of him again and flew towards him, faster than before, and there were more peach blossoms.

"A mere trifle!" Qi Feng snorted coldly, and rushed forward with a knife in hand. His figure was as agile and light as a swallow. He swung the knife heavily, and the peach blossoms instantly scattered and fell apart.

Then he stabbed the knife in his hand heavily into the ground, and the powerful ghost power spread around like a surging tide. In an instant, the surrounding peach trees were broken and the peach blossoms were shattered.

A muffled painful sound came from his right front. Qi Feng accurately caught the sound, and with a flash he came in front of the thickest peach tree in the peach forest. He clenched his fist and punched out.

A white figure flew out from the peach tree and fell heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough..." Ji Xuan struggled to get up from the ground. The next second, the sharp tip of the knife stopped in front of her.

Ji Xuan paused, her eyes slowly moving up along the tip of the knife to Qi Feng's face. After seeing his appearance clearly, she froze in place as if struck by lightning. It was him!

Qi Feng looked stern as he stared at Ji Xuan. After seeing her cultivation level, he raised his eyebrows in surprise. "You are just an evil ghost, but you can create a ghost general. Who are you?"

"Qi Feng, don't you know me?" Ji Xuan asked.

Qi Feng stared at Ji Xuan, looking at her beautiful face, he inexplicably felt a familiar feeling, as if he had seen this female ghost somewhere.

Could it be the evil ghost that he had missed before?

Qi Feng said coldly, "But why should I know you, a mere evil ghost?"

“Just an evil ghost?” Ji Xuan suddenly laughed, his eyes full of sarcasm, “Hahaha… You actually didn’t recognize me, the culprit you didn’t even recognize me!”

There was a huge hatred in her eyes.

"It's really ironic that the perpetrators of the crime turned out to be law enforcement agents."

Looking at her eyes that seemed to want to kill him, Qi Feng's heart trembled for no reason, and the hand holding the knife tightened unconsciously.

"Did we know each other when we were alive?" Qi Feng asked.

Ji Xuan smiled sarcastically, and forced herself to stand up from the ground, pointing the tip of the knife at her, moving with her movements.

"How can a mere evil ghost like me possibly know the majestic General Qi?"

General Qi's words were like a switch, and those forgotten memories burst out in his mind like a torrent of water.

……

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that General Qi served the country with loyalty and courage, but Heaven did not bless our Celestial Empire. General Qi was a hero in his lifetime, but died on the battlefield... He is posthumously conferred the title of Duke of Zhenguo, and awarded a thousand taels of gold. His eldest son Qi Feng will inherit the title..."

A sharp and high-pitched voice rang out in the empty palace. A young man in armor knelt in front of the palace, covered in blood.

……

"Brother, are father and mother dead?"

The little boy, who was only as tall as his waist, was wearing mourning clothes and looked at him with tears in his eyes, his tears streaming down his face.

The young man's eyes were red, and he tried hard to hold back his grief to comfort his younger brother, "They are all dead. From now on, the Qi family will rely on the two of us brothers to support it."

"A-Ming, many people are watching us. You must be a man and not cry!"

"Well! Don't cry, Amin!"

The little boy raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears fiercely, then followed the young man into the tall gate.

……

"General Qi, this is my daughter, her name is Ji Xuan."

The girl's beautiful face was buried in the thick cloak. Her beautiful eyes looked at him curiously and she said in a clear and pleasant voice, "General Qi."

The stern-faced man looked at the girl in a trance, and everything around him slowed down.

……

"General, Miss Ji's family was slaughtered by evil spirits, and no one survived!"

……

The man in armor stood in the yard where corpses were scattered all over, at a loss, letting the rain soak his whole body for a long time and refusing to leave.

Once again, he failed to protect the one he loved.
