Chapter 1 "Killed..."

Too busy to worry about anything else, Hu Ma killed Old Master Yan with a single strike, or rather, he only severed that baleful energy, that illusory figure, and then he quickly looked ahead.

He saw the dark clouds gathering in the sky, already vast and rapidly scattering, including the wisp of immortal qi contained within, which was also quietly dissipating, along with the various weights of this Guazhou Prefecture City, all returning to their proper places.

Even his own body suddenly felt heavy, the hand seals he had formed had already dissipated, and he was also falling rapidly, landing in the Yan family mansion, on the still intact roof ridge, holding the Heavenly Duke Wordless Seal, its weight becoming lighter.

He hurriedly looked down and saw that the golden light on the seal was dissipating, and the four characters "Shou Ming Yu Tian (mandated by Heaven)" were returning to nothingness.

"Shou Ming Yu Tian, Shou Ming Yu Tian..."

Even though he personally held the seal, dispersed the so-called immortal qi, and killed the Old Master Yan who ascended in broad daylight, the shock in his heart was no less than anyone else's:

"The eight characters 'Shou Ming Yu Tian, Ji Shou Yong Chang (mandated by Heaven, may you enjoy longevity and prosperity),' should theoretically also be from my world, why did half of them appear on this wordless seal, and why does it have such power to disperse that immortal qi?"

"The Dawei Tiangong (Great Power Heavenly Duke) General Seal is a technique passed down by the previous reincarnator. How is it also faintly connected to this immortal qi, as if it originates from the same source, yet seems to be able to form a subtle restraint against it?"

"..."

He didn't have time to think too much. He could feel that at this moment, the weights of heaven and earth had returned to their respective places, and the people in the daytime dream had all awakened instantly.

Whether it was the people of Guazhou Prefecture City, the Yan family, or those zou gui (ghost-walking) xiaozhuodao (petty constables), they were all looking at him in astonishment. So he suppressed the doubts in his heart, took the opportunity of landing on the roof ridge and his body sinking slightly, and slowly took a few breaths.

Then, he slowly stood up, and from the roof ridge, looked down and spoke in a deep voice: "The culprit has been brought to justice, seal the blade!"

"Shua!"

The Faguan Dadao (Punishment Official Broadsword) in his hand had not been sheathed since this trip began, so naturally it could not be returned to its scabbard.

So, he simply raised the sole of his shoe and wiped the blade, then held it under his arm.

Zhuodao (constables) kill people and seal the blade to its scabbard, that is the rule.

It represents that the demons have been eliminated, justice has been served, the job of the zhuodao datangguan (constable hall official) is finished, and it's time to return to the Zhen Sui Fu (Demon Suppression Bureau) to report back.

Therefore, although he only wiped the blood and sheathed his blade, it sounded to others like a "buzzing" tremor, and they felt the rolling, grim killing intent that permeated the Yan family mansion gathering in one place.

This finally made the frightened people all around wake up from the shock just now. Many people finally had the breath that had been stuck in their chests rush in.

"Holy crap, he really killed him?"

"What is the background of this guy who initiated the gathering? His skills are amazing..."

"At first, I just wanted to come and see what was going on, but now I have a feeling that this gathering is not a joke!"

"This brother looks young, and he may not have been here longer than us, but he's gone further down this path..."

"...Who do we go to for those two blood food pills? The code name is Old Gaoliang?"

"..."

While the killing intent was beginning to gather, but its deterrent power still permeated the entire Guazhou Prefecture City, and becoming more and more grim, the first to react were naturally those reincarnators from all walks of life.

It was only at this time that their eyes seemed to have a bit of seriousness. Whether it was the Temple God who was bearing a spirit, or the expert from the Yan family, they all took a deep look at Hu Ma as he was now.

In front of the Yan family mansion, Miss Red Wine was also shocked, but as Hu Ma sheathed his blade, she immediately reacted and nodded quickly to Old Gaoliang next to her. This mature and steady man immediately stood out and said loudly:

"By order of the Zhen Sui Fu (Demon Suppression Bureau), kill the Jitu (Earth-Dwelling) Snake God, and slay the Yan family's demons, not for money or high rank, but only to leave the word 'justice' in the world!"

"We are willing to submit and become blades of the Zhen Sui Fu, and until the demons of the world are eliminated, we will obey the orders of the Zhen Sui Fu!"

"Seal the blade!"

"..."

As he spoke, he raised the blade in his hand...

...He didn't even use a blade normally. This blade was picked up from the ground. With a "shua" sound, it was returned to its scabbard.

After that, he didn't even look at anyone, turned around and left, instantly flipping over the wall and disappearing into the night.

"The signal's been given, disband, disband..."

The zou gui xiaozhuodao (ghost-walking petty constables) also reacted, tidied up their clothes, put away their magic treasures, and glanced at each other, shouting: "If there's a grievance, go to the Zhen Sui Fu (Demon Suppression Bureau), the goblins, ghosts, immortals, and gods won't forgive you. I came to this Guazhou to handle these three things!"

"Justice!"

"Justice!"

"Still the same damn... Justice!!"

"..."

Amidst the shouts, they dispersed in a rush, disappearing into the night, just like when they came, appearing and disappearing like dragons.

However, only the reincarnators understood that the importance and curiosity in everyone's hearts had reached their peak. Although they were retreating now, their attention to this gathering had been maxed out.

"Good heavens, even the exit has a sense of ritual?"

Hu Ma didn't expect this step, and thought with emotion: "Miss Red Wine is still reliable in doing things..."

This good show has already been performed, and the aftersound lingers, just see how it spreads to other places later.

While thinking in his heart, he had already jumped off the roof ridge and walked straight forward, stepping on the rubble in the Yan family mansion.

The zou gui xiaozhuodao (ghost-walking petty constables) can flip over walls and ridges, but he has to walk through the main gate. They can kill people and disappear immediately, but he still has things to deal with. The blades of the Zhen Sui Fu (Demon Suppression Bureau) do not kill living people. That Jitu (Earth-Dwelling) Snake God was killed, so be it, but the Yan family's affairs still have to be explained.

According to the rules, since he destroyed the Yan family, the Yan family's use of the toad gu (poison), harming the people of Guazhou, and refining pills to extend their lives, must be handed over to the Guazhou Prefecture Lord. Otherwise, it must be brought back to the Zhen Sui Fu. No matter who asks, there must be evidence.

Therefore, when he came down, he first looked at the corpse of the Yan family's Old Master. This kind of transforming dragon zombie is physical evidence.

But with this look, he was shocked: "Holy crap?"

The Yan family's Old Master had his dragon horns sawed off, his claws clipped, his dragon scales peeled off, and even a few of his fangs were missing...

This doesn't look like a zombie that has been subdued, it's clearly been robbed...

But fortunately, it's still enough to be used as evidence. Hu Ma raised his hand, and a "Jia (shackles)" character talisman fell on the corpse of the Yan family's Old Master, locking it here. Wherever the talisman fell, ghosts and gods would not dare to approach.

Then he continued to walk outside. There were still many things to do. The head of the Yan family had to be captured, and the Tie Kan Wang (Iron Threshold King) of Guazhou City and the Guazhou Prefecture Lord had to be notified one by one.

He didn't believe that they were not related to this matter.

But with this big step out, he was inexplicably shocked again. The Iron Threshold King's soldiers, he remembered, had arrived outside the Yan mansion when he had just found the Yan family's Old Master, but now why couldn't he hear any movement at all, and the outside...

"Holy crap, who made so many potted landscapes in this alley?"

"..."

When he saw the mountain of corpses of soldiers piled up outside the Yan family mansion, fixed in place by countless weapons, his face turned green.

Who did this?

Looking again in the direction of the Guazhou Prefecture Lord Temple, he felt equally uneasy: "Why is there no movement at all?"

"Could it be that the Guazhou Prefecture Lord has also..."

"..."

"..."

"Zhen Sui zhuodao (demon suppression constables), slay demons and eliminate evil, we the people are all witnesses..."

But just as Hu Ma was vaguely beginning to be shocked by the scale of this attack, he suddenly heard a roar like a mountain torrent and a tsunami beside him. He saw that a crowd of people were clustered in the front yard of the Yan family mansion.

They had just been confused by the Yan family's Old Master's ascension in broad daylight, but now they finally reacted and understood what this matter was all about. Someone took the lead and shouted.

One person started, and instantly a ground full of heads were kneeling, and within them could be seen countless Jianghu (Martial World) figures, shouting even louder.

Of course, they knelt so cleverly, but it couldn't stand careful scrutiny. It was clear that he saw several people winking at him. This was really a service that was in place. Even the reputation and reaction of these people was considered for him, this datangguan (constable hall official)?

"Zhen Sui zhuodao (demon suppression constables), only for justice, do not accept the people's worship..."

And he reacted extremely quickly, suddenly flashed back, and shouted in a deep voice: "I came from the Zhen Sui Fu (Demon Suppression Bureau), and I am only one person, but the blade is not just one blade."

"My Zhen Sui Fu (Demon Suppression Bureau) opens its doors wide, only believing in this justice, only believing in the righteous people of the world, unable to see those demons and monsters, unable to see those demons running rampant. Today, those who carry out the Zhen Sui (Demon Suppression) order are not just me alone. The wronged villagers, the Jianghu (Martial World) heroes, are all zhuodao (constables) for my Zhen Sui Fu (Demon Suppression Bureau)!"

"Hua!"

These words seemed to make the crowd boil, especially those Jianghu (Martial World) heroes who came from all directions, who at first only wanted to make things difficult for this Zhen Sui Fu zhuodao (demon suppression constable), but later followed the people to come in to complain, were also greatly encouraged.

They only felt that they had transformed themselves and become zou gui (ghost-walking) zhuodao (constables) who had broken into the Yan family to kill demons.

In the midst of excitement, the shouts rose greatly, and quickly spread from this Yan family mansion to the entire Guazhou Prefecture City.

"It's bad, it's bad..."

In this exciting atmosphere, in the shadows, Old Suanpan (Abacus) was staring blankly at the excited people in the city, his voice trembling: "The trouble is big..."

He turned sharply and looked at Wuya, who was looking at the zou gui dadaozhuo (great constable) with a face full of worship, and hadn't even noticed the white-robed figure that flashed by at the entrance of the house. He trembled and said, "Good disciple, do you know what evil is the most powerful?"

"It's not those who harm people, nor those who hide and learn to cultivate. The real evil is those who destroy the foundation of this world, making everything you believe in no longer worth believing, making things that shouldn't exist become real things..."

"This zou gui benjia (ghost-walking household) kills relatives, seals the hall officials, opens the doors wide, and summons the righteous people of the world in the name of justice..."

"...This is originally just a joke!"

"But from today on, others will believe this joke, will revere the word 'justice' of the Zhen Sui Fu (Demon Suppression Bureau), and will deeply believe in the name of the Zhen Sui Fu (Demon Suppression Bureau)..."

"This Zhen Sui Fu (Demon Suppression Bureau) has walked a path that should not have appeared in this world..."

"If the mud-legged people find out that they are so capable, who will still believe in those noble masters?"
