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

The Thousand-Eyed Demon King and the Giant Evil Demon King charged toward Zhong Jiu. Just as they were about to fight to the death, the two kings suddenly turned back and ran wildly in different directions.

Nobody wants to die together with Chung Gau; escaping is the only viable option!

"You coward, Juxie! You hold them off while I go get reinforcements!" Thousand-Eyed Demon shouted as he ran north.

"Bullshit! Thousand Eyes, don't pretend you're blind, you can run faster than me!" The Giant Evil Demon King shouted back as he jumped toward Meng Jiang.

The two kings looked back and found that they both had the same idea: to use the other as cannon fodder so they could escape. They immediately cursed each other as "despicable and shameless" and then ran even faster.

The Thousand-Eyed Demon plunged into the misty fog to the north and vanished instantly.

The Great Demon King then leaped into the Meng River, using the river's cover to escape completely.

"My lord, should we order a pursuit?" The head of the Ministry of War hurriedly stepped forward to ask for instructions.

"No need." Zhong Jiu waved his hand, his eyes deep.

He could have chased after them and killed the two kings, but then he thought that keeping these two stray dogs alive would be more useful. Letting them go back would let the other demons and monsters in Nanling Province know the power of the underworld and serve as a warning to others.

These two can be killed anytime I want.

Letting the two kings go doesn't mean they'll let the rest of the demon alliance go.

Zhong Jiu raised his hand and tossed twelve Blazing Sky Banners into the air, which were then planted around the battlefield, forming a fiery barrier that completely cut off the escape route of the demon-ghost alliance.

He then put away his judge's pen and stood in front of the formation, observing coldly.

The remaining scraps can be left to the soul soldiers to handle.

The system mission required the complete annihilation of the invading enemy, and he dared not let a single one escape. If the mission failed due to a stray enemy, it would be a great loss.

Having lost their leader, the demon soldiers and ghost soldiers had long lost their will to fight. They were so frightened that their souls almost left their bodies, and they lay on the ground trembling, like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and were wantonly slaughtered by 400,000 soul soldiers.

The blood flowed down the slope and into the Mengjiang River, turning the river water dark red.

A malevolent aura soared into the sky, frightening even the birds flying by, who dared not approach it even a step closer.

In the shadows, countless prying eyes were watching the battlefield. Upon seeing this scene, they all shrank back in fear, a chill running down their spines.

These were all low-level demons and ghosts from Nanling Province. They had originally intended to observe the situation and, if the allied forces won, jump out to claim a share of the spoils. However, now that the underworld had won a great victory and the allied forces had suffered terribly, they dared not make the slightest move.

Zhong Jiu had already noticed these gazes, but he was too lazy to pay them any attention. They were all low-class scum, which served as a deterrent.

After this battle, the demons and ghosts of Nanling Province either restrained their evil deeds or packed their bags and left. No one dared to easily provoke the underworld again.

It's time for a change in the weather in Nanling Province.

After the massacre, the aura of the 400,000 soul soldiers grew even stronger, their blood energy surging, and the bloodlust in their eyes almost materialized, making them look even more terrifying than real ghosts.

The head of the Ministry of War tried to order the troops to regroup, but the group of soul soldiers ignored him. Some even turned their heads away, and although they didn't speak, the cold light in their eyes made the military commander's heart skip a beat, and he dared not urge them any further.

"My lord, these 400,000 soul soldiers are filled with resentment and are completely unruly. No one but you can control them."

The head of the Ministry of War frowned, his face full of difficulty.

"withdraw troops."

Zhong Jiu spoke indifferently, uttering only two words.

The once unruly 400,000 soul soldiers instantly fell silent, lined up in formation, and marched heavily toward Star Sand City, unconditionally obeying Zhong Jiu's orders.

But Zhong Jiu didn't feel gratified. As a judge in charge of life and death, how could he spend all his time commanding troops?

We must find a general who can control these soul soldiers as soon as possible.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the epic mission: Annihilate the invading demon-ghost alliance and uphold the might of the Underworld! Mission complete!]

[Ding! Mission reward issued: One top commander from the Ministry of War will be randomly selected and will immediately submit to your command!]

A system notification sounded in his mind, but Zhong Jiu did not immediately extract it.

The 400,000 soul soldiers were filled with resentment and were not suitable to be stationed in the City God's Mansion. He first led his army back to Xingsha City, settled the soul soldiers in the Netherworld Camp outside the city, and then returned to the City God's Mansion with his subordinates.

Just as they returned to the City God's Mansion, the Special Operations Department personnel who had been following behind dared to cautiously step into the battlefield.

"Hiss—this is way too bloody!"

A monk covered his mouth and nose, his voice filled with shock.

The ground was littered with the remains of demon soldiers, and the area was covered with knife marks, sword marks, and burn marks. Smoke filled the air, and the scene was devastated, as if we had returned to the most brutal era of cold weapons.

"Preliminary estimates suggest that at least 300,000 demons perished here!"

Another cultivator squatted down and examined the corpses on the ground. "Fortunately, ghosts don't leave behind corpses after they die, otherwise, with millions of corpses piled up here, it would take several days to clean them up."

Snap, snap, snap...

The group sent photos they had taken at the scene back to headquarters, their tone filled with complex emotions: "The underworld and the netherworld are fighting a bloody battle in front of us, while we can only clean up the mess behind us. It's truly shameful."

"Stop lamenting. Report to headquarters immediately and have the army come and collect the bodies. So many demon corpses piled up here will easily breed plague and low-level evil spirits."

When the news reached the Special Operations Headquarters, it caused an instant sensation. No one expected that the Underworld could annihilate the 1.3 million-strong demon-ghost alliance with 400,000 soul soldiers. This strength was simply terrifyingly outrageous!

Half an hour later, convoys of military vehicles drove out of Xingsha City and immediately began cleanup operations upon arriving at the battlefield.

Most of the demon corpses were burned, while the few that were preserved intact were carefully loaded onto vehicles and transported back to the secret laboratory in Xingsha City.

Ghosts are impossible to study, but the corpses of demons are different; these are all precious specimens.

The Special Operations Department has always wanted to find a way to improve the strength of human cultivators by studying the physique of the demon race, and now they finally have a lot of material.

While the officials were busy cleaning up the battlefield, Chung Kau was already in the main hall of the City God Temple, preparing to draw a reward.

"System, begin drawing commanders."

He took a deep breath, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

He didn't ask for a commander stronger than him, only that he could keep those 400,000 unruly soul soldiers in check, so that he could be freed from the trivial matters of commanding troops.

A judge of the underworld, spending his days leading a large army on campaigns like a border general, is truly beneath his dignity.

Moreover, these 400,000 soul soldiers are far more powerful than ordinary soul soldiers, so it would be a real waste not to use them. However, without a leader, they are easy to lose control, like a hot potato.

[Ding! Randomly selecting a top commander from the Ministry of War... Successful selection!]

Upon hearing the commander's name, Zhong Jiu's pupils widened, and he froze on the spot, his face filled with disbelief: "Holy crap? This actually works?"

Suppressing his shock, Zhong Jiu quickly pushed open the main hall door.

Sure enough, a middle-aged man standing tall and straight as a pine tree, clad in heavy black armor, appeared!

This person's face was expressionless, as cold as a piece of ancient black iron, and one could not glean any thoughts from his appearance.

He had an ordinary appearance, a few wisps of short beard on his chin, and his figure was not particularly tall or strong. If he stood in a crowd, he would at most be an inconspicuous middle-aged man.

But if there's anything that Zhong Jiu can remember at a glance, it's definitely his eyes.

His eyes were so deep and profound that they were as calm as an ancient well, as if the sword fights and bloodshed of the world could not stir up the slightest emotion in him.

"So you are Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi?"

Zhong Jiu took a deep breath, his tone revealing a hint of disbelief.

"This humble general, Bai Qi, greets Your Honor, Judge."

Bai Qi knelt on one knee, his voice steady as a bell. His dark heavy armor collided with the ground with a crisp "clang," displaying the fierce spirit of a soldier.

It's really him!

The foremost of the four great generals of the Warring States period!

Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi, was nicknamed "The Butcher of Men," and later generations revered him as the "God of Slaughter"!

In the Battle of Yique, 240,000 soldiers of the combined forces of Han and Wei were beheaded in one battle, and the battlefield was stained with blood.

In the Battle of Yan and Ying, the capital of Chu was captured, and the city was flooded, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians.

In the Battle of Huayang, they marched a thousand miles and beheaded 150,000 Zhao and Wei reinforcements.

In the Battle of Xingcheng, five cities were captured in succession, and 50,000 Han soldiers were slaughtered;

The most famous battle was the Battle of Changping, in which 400,000 surrendered Zhao soldiers were massacred, their corpses piled up like mountains, and their blood flowed like rivers!

Conservative estimates suggest that as many as one million enemy soldiers died at Bai Qi's hands!

The most ruthless person in Earth's history!

Zhong Jiu never expected that his casual draw would summon this god of death!

"Bai Qi led the surrendered Zhao soldiers..."

Zhong Jiu rubbed his throbbing temples, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation.

This combination is too bizarre. The "murderer" who massacred 400,000 Zhao soldiers back then is now trying to control this group of Zhao soldiers. It's completely absurd.

But we've already summoned people, so we can't return the goods. Why don't you give it a try?
