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

The female ghost who filed the complaint was named Yin Suzhen, and she was originally a villager from Beixi Village.

Although she only had a high school education and was not highly educated, she was beautiful and gentle, and many young men in the village had their eyes on her.

But she was simple-minded and focused on being a dutiful daughter to her parents at home. She had no interest in romance and kept putting things off until the supernatural resurfaced.

After the resurgence of supernatural phenomena, remote rural areas were the first to suffer.

When the authorities called on villagers in rural towns to move to cities, Yin Suzhen also moved to Guiling City with her parents, who had eye problems.

But they had no relatives in the city, and their parents were unable to work, so the entire family's livelihood rested on Yin Suzhen's shoulders.

The official resettlement allowance quickly ran out, so Yin Suzhen had to hurry out to find a job.

In chaotic times, jobs are hard to find, and it is even more difficult for a frail woman with little education to find a job that pays well enough to support her family of three.

Just when she was at her wit's end, a fellow villager introduced her to a job as a maid in Majiayuan.

The Ma family are local wealthy families in Guiling City. Like the Li family, who were dealt with before, they own a grand manor in the city.

Working here, with food and lodging provided, and a decent salary, Yin Suzhen was overjoyed.

But after working for a short time, she realized something was wrong.

The people in the manor looked at her strangely; some were disdainful, some were sarcastic, and a few even looked at her with an inexplicable envy.

She was completely confused until Ma Changwei, the eldest son of the Ma family, came to her, and then she understood the reason.

Ma Changwei had long coveted Yin Suzhen's beauty and openly expressed his desire to have an improper relationship with her.

Yin Suzhen was a girl from a mountain village, and she was conservative by nature. How could she stand this?

She saw right through him: Ma Changwei was only after her body and didn't genuinely like her at all. Besides, that bastard was already married!

"You want me to be your mistress? No way!"

Yin Suzhen refused without even thinking.

But Ma Changwei completely disregarded her refusal, instead revealing his sinister side, threatening, "You're eating my food, living in my house, and taking my wages, and you dare to put on airs with me? If I remember correctly, your wages from last month are still held by the accounting office, right? Don't you want them anymore?"

Seeing Yin Suzhen's pale face, he added an even harsher remark: "Think carefully. You can survive if you lose this job, but are your two parents, who have eye problems, going to starve to death with you?"

These words pierced Yin Suzhen's heart like a knife, and she wavered instantly.

In chaotic times, dignity seems to become exceptionally cheap in the face of survival.

But her inherent stubbornness ultimately made her grit her teeth and refuse: "Even if I have to work two jobs and do all the hard work, I won't do something so shameful!"

She dared not ask for her withheld wages any longer and just wanted to escape this place of trouble as soon as possible.

So she found the fellow villager who had introduced her to the place, recounted Ma Changwei's evil deeds, and arranged for the fellow villager to come and pick her up that evening.

She waited from dusk till late at night, but her fellow villager never came.

Instead, Ma Changwei, his face contorted with rage, kicked open the door: "You bitch! You won't listen to reason! You're asking for trouble!"

That night, Yin Suzhen's screams echoed throughout the entire manor corridor.

Everyone in the manor heard it, but not a single person stepped forward to help.

In chaotic times, where ghosts roam at night, simply surviving is already a struggle, and no one wants to get involved with the Ma family for the sake of an insignificant outsider.

That night, Yoon So-jeong lost her most precious thing.

Having succeeded, Ma Changwei tossed down a wad of cash and sneered at her, "Your fellow villager? He sold you out long ago! You fool, you still expect him to save you?"

"Remember this: in this day and age, nobody wants trouble! Be a good woman and you'll enjoy endless benefits; if you dare to try anything funny, you'll regret it!"

That night, Yoon So-jeong's worldview completely collapsed.

Even though she cried until she broke down, she still didn't give in and was thinking of complaining to the authorities for justice.

But she was too naive. The authorities had used all their power to fight evil spirits, and the deterrent effect of the law had long been rendered meaningless. Countless crimes were committed in the shadows every day. Who would care about her grievances as an ordinary girl with no power or influence?

Not to mention, she couldn't even leave the gate of the Ma family compound.

In order to curry favor with Ma Changwei, everyone in the manor became his eyes and ears, and he would report any unusual behavior she made immediately.

Each time she reported something, she was met with even more intense torment from Ma Changwei.

Those unspeakable hardships, even recalling them is painful for Yin Suzhen.

Just when she was in utter despair and living like a walking corpse, news came that the City God had appeared to her.

As if grasping at the last straw, Yin Suzhen frantically tried to rush out of the manor to the City God Temple to file a complaint.

But as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by the Ma family and beaten until her face was covered in blood.

Ma Changwei grabbed her hair and roared menacingly, "You still want to complain to the City God? Let me tell you, it's useless! When the City God Temple was built, my Ma family contributed money and effort; after it was completed, my Ma family was a regular customer! Do you think the City God would go against my Ma family for a country bumpkin like you?"

These words extinguished Yin Suzhen's last hope, plunging her into the abyss of despair once again.

Just a few days ago, the City God's Office issued a document encouraging farmers to return to their hometowns to farm.

Clinging to her last shred of hope, Yin Suzhen found Ma Changwei: "I won't file a complaint anymore. I just want to go home, farm, and take good care of my parents. Please let me go."

To her surprise, Ma Changwei agreed immediately.

Yin Suzhen thought she could finally get rid of the nightmare and start her life anew, so she packed her things and embarked on her journey back home.

But she never expected that Ma Changwei had no intention of letting her go!

As the City God's prestige grew, the entire Ma family lived in constant fear, lest their evil deeds be exposed, and Yin Suzhen became their biggest threat.

The so-called "letting her go" was nothing but a scam.

They ambushed Yin Suzhen on the way, kidnapped her to a desolate mountain wilderness, and cruelly murdered her.

Murder wasn't enough; they also used the most insidious methods, stuffing chaff into her mouth and covering her eyes with mud, so that she wouldn't be able to file a complaint or seek justice after she died!

But despite their meticulous planning, they failed to anticipate that the net of justice, though wide, will catch them.

Before her death, Yin Suzhen carved the word "injustice" on a stone, which was discovered by the soul soldiers of the Inspectorate. They eventually brought her to the City God's Mansion, bringing this injustice to Zhong Jiu's attention.

"Where is the soul messenger?!"

After listening to Yin Suzhen's tearful account, Zhong Jiu could no longer suppress his raging anger. He grabbed the City God's seal from the table and slammed it down!

With a loud "bang," the entire temple shook and vibrated!

"exist!"

Two soul messengers who were already waiting below immediately stepped forward, bowed, and accepted the order.

"Set off immediately to Ma Family Garden and bring me the spirit of Ma Changwei! I will personally preside over the trial and seek justice for this wronged soul!"

Zhong Jiu's voice was icy cold and carried an undeniable authority.

"yes!"

The two soul messengers dared not delay for a moment. One picked up an iron ruler, and the other picked up a soul-locking rope. They transformed into two gusts of cold wind and headed straight for Majiayuan.

They could all see that the City God was truly enraged, and anyone who dared to be disrespectful would suffer a terrible fate!

Back when Guiling City was haunted by evil spirits, who would dare to act recklessly at night?

As soon as it got dark, every household welded their doors and windows shut. They even covered their children's mouths to stifle their cries, for fear of attracting evil spirits. They all hoped to endure until dawn.

But things are different now!

With the City God Zhong Jiu in charge, all the evil spirits were dealt with clearly, and the peaceful and prosperous era was fully realized!

The entire city of Guiling was brightly lit, as bright as day. The young people eating skewers and drinking in the night market were so noisy that it was almost deafening, and the lively atmosphere was almost overflowing into the clouds.

The excitement reached its peak at the Ma family estate, where the eldest son of the Ma family, Ma Changwei, was throwing a lavish party. There was singing and dancing, wine and meat, and extravagance that knew no bounds.

Two eerie winds drifted silently to the outside of the manor. The moment they landed, they overheard two servants gossiping in a corner, their voices low but each word cutting: "Right now, Guiling City is the safest place in the whole world! Young Master's brought all his cronies from all over, and he's having a wild time with girls!"

"Absolutely! I just took a peek inside after bringing in the drinks, and wow, the scene was so spicy it hurt my eyes!"

"Tell me more! How exactly is it so offensive?"

"What kind of person is our young master? A lecherous monster reincarnated! How good can his friends be? A bunch of scumbags together, they're definitely up to no good! Who knows what kind of shady tricks they're playing!"

Upon hearing this, the two soul messengers immediately let out a cold laugh. The one on the left clenched the iron ruler in his hand and sneered, "You're about to turn cold and you're still acting all high and mighty?!"

The soul-binding rope on the right weighed it in his hand, making a crisp "clang," and said in a vicious tone, "Good people suffer and have no way to cry out for justice, while villains live a life of debauchery in the arms of the wicked? What kind of logic is this! Today, this son of a bitch must taste just how hard the iron fist of the underworld can be!"

Even the City God was angered, so how could his underlings not be a little irritated?
