Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

The fishmonger gave Chen Hengyi a simple explanation, and then he understood why these people were so angry.

Simply put, the Nanhua Opera Troupe has a long history in this area, and they are not only good at performing opera, but they also often help the poor.

This is not a show; it's just a tradition that the Nanhua Class has.

Especially in times of war and chaos, which family doesn't have its share of difficulties?

If you're so hungry you can't get any food and you happen to meet someone from the Nanhua Class, I won't say anything too great, but at least you'll fill your stomach to survive.

As long as you live, there is hope.

When the Nanhua troupe first disappeared, the people thought they had left the area or had been killed by bandits on the way.

But I never expected it to be Ren Zhi!

Chen Hengyi was ultimately unable to finish reading the incriminating evidence against Ren Fa and Ren Zhi. After the crowd dispersed, the two men were no longer recognizable as human beings and had long since died.

Chen Hengyi glanced at the booklet in his hand, shook his head, and tossed it aside.

"No need."

Just then, Chen Hengyi suddenly sensed that the black book seemed to have changed.

But the onlookers had already focused their attention on him, so it didn't seem like the right time to look.

The crowd gathered around, and an elderly man with a full head of white hair stepped forward shakily, clasped his hands in a deep bow, and said, "My benefactor! You rid us of this man-eating jackal. If the wronged souls of the Nanhua Opera Troupe could know this, they would surely rest in peace!"

Shouts erupted from the crowd.

"Please leave your name, sir!"

"We will set up a longevity tablet for you!"

Chen Hengyi simply waved his hand dismissively when asked about longevity tablets and such.

He had finished his business and didn't want to stay any longer.

Chen Hengyi politely declined all the gifts from his fellow villagers and left the market with a slight physical advantage over ordinary people.

He left Renjia Town on his way to the mortuary.

With a flick of his wrist, a black book appeared in his hand as if by magic.

Turn to the first page.

[Resolving injustices in Renjia Town.]

This line of text is flashing.

The next second, the line of text disappeared, and new text appeared before our eyes.

[The trials at Caishikou exposed injustice and the execution of the ringleaders.]

And the reward is...

[Golden Toad Treasure Bag: This item exists in the form of a wallet. The golden toad will devour unclaimed treasures and currency within a ten-kilometer radius of you. The more treasures it comes into contact with, the more wealth energy the golden toad generates. Consuming one hundred strands of wealth energy can condense into treasure-dropping coins.]

The treasures swallowed by the golden toad will not generate wealth again.

After Chen Hengyi finished reading the text, he saw a wallet pattern on the paper.

On the surface of this wallet, there is a lifelike golden toad with its mouth wide open, as if swallowing and spitting out treasure.

Chen Hengyi tilted his head and reached out to grab it.

The next moment, his fingers actually pierced through the paper and he took the wallet in his hand!

"Holy crap!"

The toad on the wallet has bulging eyes and a bulging mouth, looking like it's eaten its fill.

It lay on the wallet, appearing like a 3D image, its four legs in the air, rubbing its round, bulging belly.

Chen Hengyi moved his finger, and the golden toad's eyes actually moved with it!

But when Chen Hengyi opened his wallet, the golden toad puffed up angrily.

Chen Hengyi ignored him and looked inside.

Strangely, there are two views from his perspective.

One was just an ordinary wallet, containing some of his personal information.

The other scene is a space.

It was piled high with gold, silver, banknotes, silver notes, copper coins...

Chen Hengyi reached out and grabbed a small goldfish, about the size of two fingers, which appeared in his hand with a trace of moisture on it.

It seems like this little goldfish was underwater just a second ago.

Chen Hengyi was shocked; he had suddenly become incredibly wealthy!

He then tried to put the stone into his wallet, but unfortunately, it could only hold money.

The golden toad gave a look of disgust.

Chen Hengyi tapped the golden toad on the head, and the latter quickly covered its head with its claws, its mouth opening and closing as if it were croaking.

"My darling!"

After praising it, Chen Hengyi ignored the golden toad's expression and put it away, while new text appeared on the black book.

[A page reveals a world; should we move forward or linger to vanquish demons?]

A gust of wind blew by, and Chen Hengyi saw that a corner of the black book's page was slightly lifted.

Chen Hengyi looked at the line of text and understood it in just two seconds.

You will continue your journey by turning the page. If you don't turn the page, you will remain here for now.

Then the second page is being turned at a very slow speed.

Clearly, Chen Hengyi's stay is not permanent; as long as he doesn't make a decision, he will travel through time again when the time comes.

He solemnly declared, "I've encountered a royal zombie in Four Eyes, and I'm furious with him. I'm going to exorcise this demon!"

As soon as Chen Hengyi finished speaking, new words reappeared on the paper.

Save Chizuru and defeat the zombies.

But correspondingly, the second page, which could have been opened at any time, returned to its original state.

It turned into a brick again, impossible to break.

"It seems that we can only travel at any time after completing the mission."

It doesn't matter, just do it.

That's fine too. He can freely decide whether or not to stay in a certain world. If he doesn't want to stay, he can just pack up and run away after completing the mission.

Chen Hengyi packed his things and walked quickly toward the mortuary.

Back at the mortuary, Uncle Nine and the others were all there.

They surrounded Ren Tingting, who was still unconscious.

During the investigation, and among the evidence of the wronged souls, Ren Tingting appeared to have committed no crime. It seemed she was merely enjoying the wealth and luxury brought to her by the Ren family.

Chen Hengyi wanted to eliminate the root of the problem because he felt that since someone had enjoyed the wealth brought by sin, they should not be completely cleansed.

Otherwise, if a corrupt official dies and his children take all the ill-gotten gains and flee overseas to live a carefree life, what will happen to the ordinary people who died because of corrupt officials?

There is no such logic in the world.

However, Uncle Nine felt that Ren Tingting did not know the truth, so he did not take action.

In his own words, "a clueless young girl."

Chen Hengyi went straight to Ren Tingting, wiped the bloodstains off her head, then pried open her mouth and took out a folded triangular yellow talisman.

Ren Tingting woke up immediately, and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Chen Hengyi's calm face.

She immediately scrambled backward in terror, crying out, "What...what are you going to do?!"

Chen Hengyi said calmly, "I'm not doing anything, I'm just letting you go."

As he spoke, Chen Hengyi made a gesture of invitation.

Ren Tingting looked surprised, but she still ran away quickly.

Uncle Nine sighed: "You're just going to let her go like this? Those people outside won't let her get away with it."

"Does Uncle Nine think that killing her now is the best option?" Chen Hengyi thought Uncle Nine was quite ruthless.

Uncle Jiu paused for a moment, then quickly shook his head.

"That's not what I meant!"

Chen Hengyi: "If she were smart, she wouldn't go back to Renjia Town. Besides, the Ren family's business isn't limited to this area. She could still survive if she went to stay with relatives."

As he spoke, Chen Hengyi shrugged: "As for whether she's smart or not, that's beyond my control."

Chen Hengyi knew that killing the entire Ren family was an extreme act, but he was determined to do it anyway.

If he had a large force, he would have wiped out these scoundrels completely... Unfortunately, he lacked both strength and time.

Then it's about fighting the rich and distributing... well, never mind, just killing ghosts will do.

As for Ren Tingting, she would definitely hate him to death, and might even seek revenge, but by then Chen Hengyi would have already run away.

The only ones we need to worry about are Uncle Nine and his group.

He explained all this to Uncle Nine, who simply waved his hand dismissively, saying, "It's alright."

As he spoke, Chen Hengyi pulled Uncle Jiu into the room again.

Then he took out a gold bar from his pocket: "Uncle Jiu, now that the Ren family matter is settled, I plan to leave. I'll leave the matter of the Nanhua Class to you."

Uncle Nine waved his hand, refusing Chen Hengyi's gold bars.

"You'll always need money when you're traveling the world, this is far too expensive."

But how could Uncle Nine know that from now on Chen Hengyi would never lack money again?

Chen Hengyi's lips curled into a smile.

Hey~

A gold bar fell to the ground, followed by a series of clinking sounds.

Uncle Nine's mouth opened wider and wider.

He saw a mountain of gold and silver rising before his eyes.

"What...what...what!!!"

Chen Hengyi: "It's all thanks to the blessings of our ancestors."

"It's good to keep some money for self-defense, but don't let Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai find out. They still need to work on their character."

"Also, Renjia Town might be in chaos for a while, Uncle Jiu, you might be able to use this money to do something."

Uncle Nine was stunned by the mountains of gold and silver before him.

As expected of someone valued by Marshal Huaguang, he could conjure up so much wealth with a mere wave of his hand.

Uncle Nine thought about it again, and then realized that Chen Hengyi himself didn't have any magic powers to turn stones into gold, so the money definitely wasn't his.

Oh, and he also said earlier, "May the ancestral master bless me!"

Upon realizing this, Uncle Jiu gasped in shock.

That can only be... one of the four guardian saints of Taoism, the Great Emperor Huaguang, Marshal Lingguan!

Could it be that the marshal has some order for me to do something with this money?

At this moment, Uncle Nine's mind raced, and his expression grew increasingly serious.

Thinking of this, Uncle Nine looked at Chen Hengyi, who was tidying up, and quickly asked, "What do you think I can do with this money?"
