I subdue demons and monsters, and cultivate immortality in hell to become a saint.

The situation in Nanling Province has been improving recently, and the Yinfa system has been established. Zhong Jiu can clearly feel that he is getting closer and closer to completing his mission.

But at this critical moment, Lord Mengjiang launched a massive massacre, not only wiping out the Mengjiang aquatic tribe but also destroying a city!

This was undoubtedly a slap in the face to the underworld!

Even more outrageous, he didn't stop after flooding the county town, and went straight to Guiling City.

Everyone in the world knows that Guiling City is where he started his business, and it is also the place where the gods first appeared in the underworld!

This evil dragon dared to head straight for Guiling City. What was it up to?

"Men! Gather the troops immediately and follow me to capture and kill this wicked dragon. Today, we will skin it alive and tear it apart to uphold the law of the underworld!"

Zhong Jiu's face was ashen, his killing intent palpable. No matter what, this evil dragon was doomed.

The system task was suddenly triggered the moment he gave the order.

[Slay the evil dragon, restore the laws of the underworld, and awe the world! Reward: Offensive Technique - Heavenly Dragon Strike!]

Having understood the system's mission, Zhong Jiu's resolve grew even stronger: this evil dragon must not be allowed to live!

Just as the underworld mobilized its forces to capture the evil dragon, the Dragon King, leading a massive flood, approached the border of Guiling City.

The floodwaters were already swift, and as a dragon, he was naturally skilled in water control. He constantly drew water from the rivers and accelerated the waves, causing the floodwaters to traverse mountains and valleys and rush towards Guiling City.

In Guiling City, news had already been received that City God Lei Bo was leading all his officials and soul soldiers, standing ready at the border.

"Today, we will not allow this evil dragon to invade our territory!"

"Old Reber said coldly, his eyes filled with determination."

All the officials under the City God's command had a cold killing intent burning in their eyes!

Finally, the evil dragon arrived with a tidal wave.

Looking at the surging water, Old Man Lei's expression changed drastically. The amount of water absorbed by the evil dragon was too enormous. At most, they could only stop the evil dragon, but they could not stop the raging water.

Even the slightest leak of water can cause considerable damage.

Roar!

The evil dragon roared, its eyes revealing its ferocity, and its inherent bestial nature had been fully unleashed.

Little did it know that this roar had alerted a terrifying being.

Inside the City God Temple in Guiling City, a faint light suddenly flashed in the Zhuyin Hall.

As soon as the dragon's roar subsided, the young candle dragon in the hall suddenly awoke, as if it had heard the beast's provocation. It raised its little claws and let out a tender roar.

Awoo!

The sound was initially faint and difficult to discern, but then grew louder and louder, especially when it reached the ears of the evil dragon, sounding like a thunderclap.

The evil dragon trembled violently. Even though it had lost its mind at this moment, its instincts as a ferocious beast were frantically warning it that Guiling City was definitely not a place it could set foot in!

Ahead, a powerful, supreme, and terrifying king of beasts lies dormant, ready to strike!

In extreme terror, the evil dragon abruptly changed direction, carrying the raging torrent of water as it fled in a sorry state.

The first cry of the Candle Dragon was like the suppression of a true dragon's bloodline, displaying immense power.

Old Lei and the others thought there would be a big battle, but it ended up being a fizzle out.

A moment later, Zhong Jiu led the Yin Si army to arrive.

"Where is the evil dragon?"

Zhong Jiu asked in a deep voice.

"They were startled by the Candle Dragon and have already headed east."

Mr. Reber quickly responded.

Candle Dragon?

Zhong Jiu raised an eyebrow. This little guy actually has such abilities?

With a sweep of his divine sense, he instantly locked onto the Zhuyin Hall of the City God Temple in Guiling City.

As expected, the candle dragon inside the hall had already taken shape, but it was still in its infancy and looked particularly immature.

It was curled up, fast asleep, and in its sleep, it was continuously consuming the power of the incense offerings.

Sensing Zhong Jiu's presence, it barely opened its eyes and released a sense of intimacy towards him.

"No wonder it is a legendary ancient ferocious beast; even in its juvenile form, it was able to frighten away the evil dragon."

Zhong Jiu was initially surprised, but then felt it was only natural.

The Zhulong is so ferocious that if it were to truly grow up, it would not be surprising if it fed on real dragons. A mere mixed-blood dragon would probably not even be worthy of its attention. In its eyes, it would be no more than a fly or a mosquito, not worth mentioning.

"It seems it's time to bring this little guy to Star Sand City."

Chung Kau immediately made up his mind.

Now that the situation in Xingsha City has stabilized, the daily offerings are more than ten times those in Guiling City. If Zhulong were to arrive in Xingsha City, he would surely grow up much faster.

But that's all for later. Right now, the most important thing is to take down that evil dragon.

Zhong Jiu led the Yin Si army and headed straight east in pursuit.

Before long, waves surged and swept across the mountains and fields. Above the giant waves, a blood-red dragon coiled, occasionally letting out a roar.

What lies ahead?

A messenger quickly reported that a city was located thirty kilometers ahead.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Jiu coldly gave the order:

"Intercept it right here and capture this evil dragon!"

Wen Tianxiang frowned as he looked at the evil dragon's figure: "My lord, something is wrong with this evil dragon. Look at it, it's covered in blood, its eyes are bloodshot, and it looks like it's gone mad. It seems to have lost control of itself."

Zhong Jiu nodded, also noticing the abnormality.

The evil dragon's appearance was clearly not of ordinary condition.

Its sudden attack was already strange. When the City God's Mansion demanded people, Meng Jianglong immediately handed over the Giant Evil Demon King. This shows that he is a pragmatic dragon who would never want to antagonize the Underworld.

Moreover, Zhong Jiu later learned that Meng Jianglongjun was devoted to cultivation and rarely appeared in public.

The aquatic creatures under his command only operate within the Mengjiang River basin and never easily cross the border.

How could such a dragon, who is devoted to cultivation and has lofty ambitions, suddenly go mad and destroy its own Great Wall?

Furthermore, even tigers don't eat their cubs, so even if he were to massacre a city, he shouldn't have slaughtered his own stronghold as well; that would be completely illogical.

All these unusual occurrences gave Zhong Jiu a premonition.

This matter is probably not that simple.

"Regardless of the hidden circumstances, he has committed a heinous crime and must be punished. Arrest him first, then we'll discuss other matters!"

Without much thought, Zhong Jiu immediately ordered the underworld army to take action.

Now is not the time to investigate the hidden story. The evil dragon has committed such a heinous crime that even with a thousand reasons, there is absolutely no way it can escape.

The army of the underworld immediately rushed to the front and cut off the evil dragon's path.

They then surrounded him from all sides, trapping him firmly in the middle.

"You audacious and wicked dragon, how dare you slaughter living beings and commit such a heinous crime! Surrender at once!"

Wen Tianxiang spoke with righteous indignation, and every word he uttered was filled with boundless righteousness.

The words were like resounding heavenly music, which caused the bloodshot color in the eyes of the evil dragon to fade slightly, but it was quickly replaced by a rich crimson.

Roar!

The evil dragon let out a furious roar, refusing to communicate at all, like a wild beast that had lost its mind.

Seeing this, Wen Tianxiang was certain that the evil dragon's actions were probably not of its own volition, and there must be another hidden reason behind them.

The bull demon also came with the army. Upon seeing this scene, his eyes lit up, seeing it as a good opportunity to make a name for himself.

"Hey! You wicked dragon, you dare to break the rules set by the Underworld? You truly don't know what's good for you! Today, I, Marshal Niu, will capture you!"

Having said that, he picked up an iron bar and charged straight up.

This bull demon was never very brave; he was just playing hard to get this time.

He had previously heard that Meng Jianglong was a coward who hid in the water all day and dared not show his face, so he believed it and felt a little contemptuous of him.

With the army of the underworld now in command, the bull demon's mind immediately became active. He wanted to take this opportunity to bully the weak and show others his abilities as Marshal Bull.

The bull demon charged straight ahead. Although it was timid, it was incredibly strong. It swung its iron rod with tremendous force, smashing it down on the evil dragon.

The force of this blow was enough to level a small hill.

The wretched dragon neither dodged nor avoided, but went straight to meet it.

Snapped!

With a flick of its tail, it took the blow head-on, and in the process, sent the bull demon flying.

"Ugh, I'm so angry!"

The bull demon was furious. How dare this cowardly creature hiding in the water fight back?

He immediately revealed his true form, which was a yellow ox several tens of feet tall. His four hooves galloped, and sand and stones flew up. His huge horns gleamed with a metallic luster and were sharp enough to cut through everything.

Roar!

The evil dragon swooped down, its massive claws striking down directly.

boom!

The bull's horns and the dragon's claws collided violently, sparks flying everywhere.

The bull demon managed to hold out for a few seconds before being violently flung away by the evil dragon.

Only then did he realize that he was no match for the evil dragon.

"Damn it! I was so naive! Someone said the Underworld was bragging, and I believed it, and now I'm just a hired hand there; someone said Lord Mengjianglong was a coward and didn't live up to his name, and I believed that too, and now he's got me beaten up! I was so naive, so incredibly naive..."

He was filled with indignation.

Seeing the evil dragon riding the gale towards him, the bull demon trembled with fear and cried out for help, "Judge, save me!"

Zhong Jiu's lips twitched slightly.

This fool has truly disgraced the underworld.

Fortunately, no one was around at the moment. If others had seen them, wouldn't that have tarnished the reputation of the underworld?
