Everyone's on a time-travel adventure! I'm raising city beasts in a post-apocalyptic world

"Your crime has been exposed. Come back with me to apologize to His Majesty Emperor Zhaode. If you are willing to offer up the strange object in your possession, I can plead with His Majesty the Emperor. He will forgive your crime of impersonating him and spare your life."

Upon hearing this, the fat man opposite him unconsciously twitched the flesh on his face.

"Mr. Muto, you traitor, how dare you covet my treasure!" He turned his head and said to the two people behind him.

"Miyamoto-kun, Reiko, kill them!"

The woman named Lingzi took a step forward, and the female monster beside her emitted a chilling aura that spread forward, frosting the ground and causing snowflakes to fall from the sky.

The old martial artist named Muto drew his long sword, which emanated an ominous red aura. A ghostly phantom, as solid as a physical object, began to emerge from behind him, looking down at the person opposite him.

"Kato Kojiro, this is a secret letter from His Majesty Shotoku. If you continue to be obstinate, the next one will be Lord Tengu." He said, tossing a letter to Kato Kojiro. The letter was frozen by snowflakes before it even got close and shattered on the ground.

"Hmph, you don't know what's good for you. Take action, kill this criminal who has offended His Majesty, and bring the treasure back to His Majesty."

The ghost warriors around Kato drew their swords and charged towards the other side. One side was empowered by the phantom of a ghost god, while the other side controlled the ghost to fight back. The battle was fierce and evenly matched. Miyamoto Koichi controlled a bull-headed ghost that was more than ten meters tall. It was powerful and fought against several ghost warriors at the same time without showing any signs of being at a disadvantage.

The woman named Lingzi controlled things strangely, and she was incredibly skilled at manipulating ice and snow, creating frost, blizzards... with ease.

Lin Feng and Xia Du looked at each other, completely bewildered. Were they fighting amongst themselves?

"Internal strife?"

Lin Feng was about to make a move when Xia Du stopped him: "Don't rush into action. Let's see what's going on first."

Lin Feng nodded, not in a hurry to make a move. His eyes flashed with golden light as he scanned the crowd in the arena, finally landing on the short, stout emperor.

Name: Kato Kojiro.

Level: 5

Talent: Disguise (Can disguise oneself as others, extremely difficult to detect; currently disguised as Emperor Shōtoku of Japan.)

"As expected, this guy really is an imposter."

Then Lin Feng's gaze swept over the black banner in his hand, the bronze mirror on his chest, the ring on his finger, and the jade pendant at his waist.

[Rare Item: The Billion Soul Banner, a fragmented version of the Billion Soul Banner from the hands of a peerless demon who suppressed an era. It can suppress the supernatural, absorb souls, create ghost soldiers, and project the banner's power onto other people or objects.]

(Note: What are you looking at? Grab it now! What "Billion Soul Banner"? It's a disgrace! Change the name! You absolutely must change the name! "Human Emperor Banner"! As long as you fill it with souls, I guarantee your banner will be dazzling with golden light.)

[Rare Item: Thousand-Mile Soul-Chasing Mirror. When infused with blood, it can simultaneously sense the life aura of all blood-related beings within a thousand-mile radius and communicate with them. Activation requires a large amount of Mystic Crystals.]

[Rare Item: A fragmented spatial ring, forged by a powerful being from a minor world. Currently, its internal space is only 20 meters in length, width, and height, suitable only for storage. It cannot store living beings at this time. It can absorb rare items or rare treasures to restore its power.]

[Rare Item: Soul-Suppressing Jade Pendant. Automatically blocks fatal damage received by the wearer. Currently, only one block remains. The effect will permanently disappear after use.]

"This Kojiro is really rich; with that palace, that makes five rare items."

Lin Feng exclaimed, "This person's luck is simply too good."

Then he looked at the sword in Muto's hand, which turned out to be a strange object as well.

[Strange Item: Demon Blade - Bone Corrosion. Originally an ordinary sacrificial weapon, it was imbued with the power of a 'deity,' resulting in a strange transformation. It can now devour the souls of those it slays and store them within the blade, and can consume souls to borrow the power of the 'deity.']

Just as the two groups were locked in a fierce battle, with dark red energy waves intertwining with ice, snow, and sword flashes, Lin Feng watched with great interest, arms crossed, practically ready to grab a handful of melon seeds and a small stool.

Muto shifted his gaze from Kato Kojiro, then suddenly turned around, merging with the phantom of the demon behind him. The phantom expanded to a hundred meters high, and the long sword in his hand, carrying a scarlet aura, slashed straight at Xia Du. Before the blade even arrived, the force of the energy had already ripped up the rubble on the ground.

Xia Du reacted extremely quickly, raising his scepter. Several armored rhinoceroses around him rushed forward to block him, but the ghostly phantom's blade swept lightly, and the armored rhinoceroses were cut in half at the waist, their huge bodies split in two and crashing to the ground.

At the same time, Kato Kojiro also moved. He suddenly unfurled the soul banner in his hand, and countless gray shadows surged out of the banner. Those wronged souls soared into the sky, covering most of the sky. The densely packed wronged souls emitted piercing screams, and the entire sky darkened.

The wronged souls hovered and gathered in the air, then suddenly pressed down in the direction where Lin Feng was.

"I've been waiting for you." Lin Feng chuckled. "Xia Du, the wonder is right here. It's up to you to decide..."

"Little Black, go!"

Xiao Hei stood up from its crouching position, pushed off the ground with all four feet, and leaped off the city wall. It expanded rapidly in the air and landed, growing to over a hundred meters tall. A golden light exploded from its body, and its protective domain expanded rapidly from its center.

The golden light of the warding-off evil spirits enveloped the black storm composed of vengeful spirits. The shrieks of the vengeful spirits immediately changed, emitting sharp wailes as they fled uncontrollably. No matter how Kato Kojiro manipulated the soul banner in his hand, he could not control the vengeful spirits. He spat out several mouthfuls of blood essence and poured spiritual power into the soul banner, but it was still to no avail.

These wronged souls fled in all directions as if they had encountered a natural enemy.

Xiao Hei opened its mouth and inhaled sharply, creating a vortex in its throat. The countless wronged souls in the sky seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, surging into its mouth in large numbers. Their souls were pulled and torn apart, and in just a few breaths, the wronged souls that had covered the sky were completely cleared away.

Xiao Hei let out a "uh" sound, as if it had burped.

The wronged soul was swallowed whole by Xiao Hei. Kato Kojiro coughed up a mouthful of blood, sat down heavily on the ground, his lips trembling. The luster on the soul banner had also dimmed.

"My wronged souls... I painstakingly collected them for months... they killed millions of people... gone, all gone..."

Ignoring his wails, Xiao Hei collected the wronged soul, then pushed off with all four legs and pounced directly towards Kato.

Koichi Miyamoto immediately manipulated his supernatural being to step forward and block the way, shouting, "Lady Reiko, let's go! Let's serve His Majesty!"
