After the Skyfall

Chapter 546 I Became a Demon

"I've met the Taoist priest."

Zhou Jin saw Li Yi still bowed respectfully and said: "The prefect is very concerned about the trafficking of women. He ordered us to crack the case and catch all those involved in it. He will not show any leniency. As for these victimized girls, he ordered us to register them, issue travel permits, and send them home."

"The evil leader will most likely not survive and will be beheaded in public as a warning to others."

Li Yi took a look and said, "As a cultivator, I can only manage for a while, not for a lifetime. If I encounter something, I can help and save innocent people. It is not in vain. Since the case has been concluded, I naturally have nothing to say. But why did the prefect know that I have the energy of a dragon and a tiger and harbor murderous intentions?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Jin's face suddenly changed, and then he hurriedly said: "Master, this, this."

Li Yi didn't say anything, just looked up slightly.

Roar!
The next moment, a silver-colored tiger roared at the sky and earth, and with one claw it dropped, the white crane above the yamen let out a miserable wail, and then its body exploded, transforming into the power of incense and faith, which quickly dissipated, and then the remaining power affected the government office, and the area suddenly shook.

Then I saw the roof collapse, the walls shattered, and the beams torn apart.

At this time, the prefect Chen Nian, who was in the study, was terrified. He was protected by several colleagues and rushed out of the house as if escaping. But even so, he was hit by the rubble, his head was bleeding, and he was in a miserable state.

I finally escaped.

But he saw that everything in front of him had turned into ruins, only the gate of the yamen was still intact and standing, as if there was a force protecting it and avoiding being affected.

"What, what on earth is going on?" Chen Jin was terrified and looked around in confusion.

"Master, please stop."

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the scroll in Zhou Jin's hand, and it was a middle-aged man in a long robe, who hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

Li Yi glanced at them and ignored them. He just pointed at the yamen runners and said, "Escort these women back safely. If there is any mistake, they will be destroyed like this yamen."

As he spoke, he casually took out a few gems from the Five Elements Bracelet. These were picked up in the secret realm where the World Dragon was imprisoned in the Dark World. They were of no particular use, but were worth some money.

Throw a few gems over.

"I won't treat you unfairly. All the expenses on the road will be on me, and you can share the extra money."

The yamen runners were stunned when they saw those crystal clear gems, but they couldn't help but shudder when they saw the yamen collapsed in an instant.

This Taoist is really vicious. He overturned the government office if he disagreed with something.

However, no matter how cruel he is, he is really rich. A gemstone must be worth at least a thousand gold coins. If he takes it back and divides it, he will never have to worry for the rest of his life.

just
The bailiffs then looked at Zhou Jin again.

After all, Zhou Jin is their leader, and it would be embarrassing for him to agree to this matter without asking.

Li Yi said, "How many years would it take you to earn this kind of money? Do you still want to come back and be a government official and be ordered around? Or do you want to go back and be a rich man?"

As soon as these words came out.

The yamen runners looked at each other, and immediately took off their black clothes, picked up a few gems on the ground, and then bowed to Li Yi solemnly: "Master, rest assured, we will risk our lives to deliver these ladies safely. If we can't do it properly, we are willing to die at your hands."

"Zhang Tie, Liu Han, you..." Zhou Jin paused.

"Zhou Jin, we are not very familiar with each other. Don't try to get too close. I have things to do." The man said righteously.

Having said that, a group of yamen runners immediately resigned from their positions and escorted the women away.

They were still discussing on the way.

"Stupid, we can find a escort company to send these ladies back."

"Yes, buy a carriage, one for each of us. We have the money, so we don't need this."

"Give these ladies some new clothes and leave some silver. Don't let the Taoist think we are stingy."

"How big is that gem? I think it's as big as my fist. Can you show it to me again? My eyes were dazed just now and I couldn't see it clearly."

"Go away, don't show off your wealth, we'll divide it later."

When Zhou Jin saw that all his usual subordinates had run away, the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely. Based on his understanding of these people, he was afraid that they would never come back after this trip.

"It's human nature to be greedy for money and afraid of death. The Taoist priest has good tactics." At this moment, the man Chu Pingzhi in the painting spoke again in a low voice.

Li Yi shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm greedy for money and afraid of death, it's that I'm seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster. Even the yamen runners know this, so why don't you officials know it? Is it because the disaster won't befall you? I brought the bad guys here with good intentions, but you don't want to take care of it. Instead, you want to kill me because you see that I have the energy of a dragon and a tiger. Aren't you forcing me to rebel?"

"Even if Taoist Priest Tianxia Jiu'an possesses the energy of a dragon and a tiger, it is still a pipe dream for him to rebel." Chu Pingzhi shook his head.

"Rebellion is not a difficult thing for me. If I want to do it, one month is enough." Li Yi said calmly.

Chu Pingzhi became interested after hearing this. He said, "Oh, Taoist priest, you are just bragging. Although the world is not at peace right now, people are living and working in peace and contentment. I am afraid that no one will follow you if you start a rebellion. At most, you can gather some wild monsters and occupy the mountains as kings."

Li Yi sneered, "How can the ghost in your painting know my methods? I have the ability to call the wind and rain, the power to subdue dragons and tigers, and it is easy for me to destroy a city. I only need to create a disaster to gather countless victims. I will raise my arms and call on the people to plunder along the way. I will open mountains and destroy cities. Once the situation is established, I will command the spirits and ghosts in the world, enthrone the gods, and share the incense of the world. If everything goes well, you can move into the capital within half a year. By then, you will not call me Taoist priest, but your majesty."

Chu Pingzhi was shocked and frightened. He was shocked that this Taoist was not kidding when he talked about rebellion, because he had formulated a rebellion strategy in just a few words. Although his words were rough, the general direction was correct. If you want to start a rebellion, this is the only way, and this Taoist also knows how to canonize the gods and share the incense. He was afraid that if this Taoist really did this, he didn't know whether it would succeed, but there would definitely be corpses everywhere and countless deaths.

"You, this demon, really deserve to be killed."

At this time, the prefect Chen Nian, supported by several colleagues, came over with blood all over his head. He also heard what Li Yi said and became furious.

Li Yi glanced at them coldly; "The reason why I didn't do this is not because I don't have the idea or courage, but because I sympathize with the people's difficult life. After all, I also rose from humble beginnings, and I know that life is not easy. It is naturally best to live a stable life. Therefore, I always have a sense of benevolence and righteousness, and I will save people in distress and not kill people in vain."

"I am like this, but you officials decide life and death with just one word. You have no justice in your heart, only benefits and disadvantages. You call me a demon, but I think you are a dog official."

"How dare you." Chen Nian shouted angrily, "How dare you, a demon Taoist, insult me? Zhou Jin, hurry up and capture him."

Zhou Jin held the knife at his waist, hesitating, his pair of blue eyes moving slightly, but he did not dare to move, because he knew very well that he was no match for this Taoist, and if he made a move, he would be killed immediately.

At this time, life is definitely more important than future.

So he was just pretending, without any intention of taking any action, and instead took a few steps back.

Li Yi snapped his fingers and a silver lightning flew out at an extremely fast speed.

Chen Nian didn't know what was going on, but he was horrified to find that one of his arms was gone, disappearing out of thin air, and he didn't even feel any pain.

"You can't scold me, and you can't beat me, but I don't know where you get the courage to yell in front of me. I guess you have been in a high position for so long that you have forgotten how to behave like a human being. You're just like the land god, a dead soul that has entered a clay statue and has been pretending to be a god for so long that it thinks it is a god." Li Yi said, glancing over with a pair of bright eyes, revealing murderous intent.

At this moment, Chen Nian felt a gap in the level of life. His hair stood on end and fear enveloped his whole body, making him lose all his courage in an instant. He collapsed to the ground, with only fear in his eyes and no calmness at all.

"Master, you are a master, why bother to compete with ordinary people? Please stop using your magic and spare his life." Chu Pingzhi on the side said hurriedly.

I was afraid that Li Yi would start a massacre here.

"Only adults would not argue with children. Let him call me adult and I can spare his life." Li Yi said, "After all, killing an ordinary person is meaningless to me, but he should be taught a lesson for his rude words."

"Brother Chen."

Chu Pingzhi hurriedly called out to him and told him to open his mouth and soften himself.

Get through this disaster first, don't waste your life in vain.

Chen Nian's face was pale, yet he showed signs of struggle and hesitation. Although he was frightened, he subconsciously thought in his mind that as a prefect, he was in charge of the people and had a high status. Yet today he had to bow his head to a mountain Taoist and call him "Sir". This, this was outrageous.

But even though he thought so, his strong desire to survive still made him stammer out, "Sir."

"It sounds like you're not very willing to do so. Look, you yourself are reluctant to call others 'sir', so who would be willing to call you 'sir'? It's just that you are more powerful than others, so you have to bow your head." Li Yi smiled at this moment, and then slowly stood up.

"Forget it, I have finished my business, so I won't bother you any more."

Having said that, he threw away his Taoist robe and strode away.

Chu Pingzhi said nothing at this moment, and could only watch him leave. This Taoist was extremely powerful, and he, a Yin prefect, could not fight against him. Fortunately, the other party just destroyed the government office in anger and did not hurt anyone's life. It can be seen that this Taoist is indeed kind and benevolent, but...
He then looked back at Chen Nian.

Chen Nian, who had lost an arm, began to feel pain at this time. Blood flowed from the broken arm. He wailed in pain, but he could not bear the humiliation. He gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Chu, quickly, send a decree from the underworld and have the city god summon ghosts from all directions to eliminate the evil spirits tonight. Don't let them live."

"This may cause a big disaster. It is better to wait for the court to make arrangements. You have seen the Taoist's methods, which are indeed powerful. If something goes wrong, I am afraid that the Taoist will be provoked to kill officials and rebel. By then, you and I will both be sinners." Chu Pingzhi looked embarrassed and hesitant.

"This evil Taoist has the air of an emperor and regards the imperial court as nothing. Sooner or later he will rebel. For the sake of the country, the people, and himself, he should be eliminated as soon as possible. Otherwise, how can we feel at ease? If the evil Taoist retaliates, I will take full responsibility." Chen Nian roared in a low voice.

Chu Pingzhi hesitated for a moment, and finally could only nod in agreement.

Not long after.

He wrote a decree from the underworld and stamped it with the official seal of the Yin prefect. Then he handed the decree to the prefect Chen Nian.

Chen Nian endured the pain of his broken arm and rewrote it again, then stamped it with his official seal.

Both the Yin and Yang documents must be written to ensure they are foolproof, only then can they take effect.

Afterwards, he ordered Zhou Jin to fetch a brazier and throw the two underworld orders into it to burn them.

next moment.

A stream of green smoke floated straight up into the sky, then turned into wisps of incense, spreading out and flying everywhere.

All the canonized gods in the entire Xinzhou area will receive the order within a moment.

Just one night.

Countless ghosts and gods will be ordered to gather in Xinzhou City to fight against the evil spirits.

However, at this moment Li Yi also saw the smell of incense. Although he did not understand the meaning, he could guess a thing or two. Most likely, the prefect asked someone to deal with him. After suffering such a great humiliation, how could he pretend it had never happened? What's more, he held such great power and could mobilize ghosts and gods for help with a piece of writing.

"Okay, by the way, let me see how powerful the ghosts and gods in this world are." Li Yi looked normal and continued walking in Xinzhou City.
