Chapter 232: Chapter 229 Exorcism and Disaster, King Yan Shows His Power!

Splatter...

A sudden autumn rain made the night air even colder and wetter, leaving countless refugees, who had been driven out by the County Magistrate Xia Ying, with no shelter to turn to.

Meanwhile, the flower hall of the Xue Mansion was brightly lit and filled with noise and clamor.

"The meat at table No. 3 has run out again, hurry and bring more good meat!"

"Get moving, refill the wine for the master at table No. 8!"

"..."

Under the command of an old fox, a group rose to action, and hyenas, giant rats, wild boars, pheasants... all dressed as servants, delivered the various delicacies and fine wines into the flower hall like flowing water.

Even though the servants were extremely busy and hardly touched the ground with their feet, they could barely satisfy the gluttonous desires of the masters upstairs.

After transforming into demons, they all had an astonishing appetite, and their bloodthirsty stomachs seemed to never be satiated.

In addition to the officials from the prefecture city, county cities, and state cities who had already turned into demons, the rebel demons of the "No-Life Dao" also brazenly took their seats among them.

However, they hadn’t even managed to face Wang Yuan in a direct confrontation before half of them were ruthlessly killed by this stubborn fellow with the rigid Life Chart.

Speaking of it was practically to recount a saga of blood and tears, tragic!

Of the thirty-odd heretical demons, less than twenty remained up to this point.

Moreover, looking at the extra eyeballs, mouths, tentacles, arms... and other mutated appendages on their bodies, one could tell that even those who survived were not having an easy time of it.

Just think about it, in just a short month, they had experienced more than two hundred Precept Taboos!

That’s probably more than many Magicians hear about in their entire lives.

When the base number is large enough, almost every demon encounters a part of the two hundred Precept Taboos that conflict with their own Daoist Skill Precept Taboos.

You should know their main purpose in joining the ranks of the "No-Life Dao" was to host a Killing Banquet for themselves and steal a Killing Dao Fruit.

Who would have thoughts that this very decision would turn into their own death warrant.

However, besides eating meat and drinking wine to their hearts’ content, their gazes toward the ’clothes and crowned beasts’ sitting around them were also filled with amusement.

They had clearly already received messages from Master Qianxing that after their own peers suffered heavy losses, this group of individuals with extraordinary fate would soon become the new material to be consumed.

By then, they wouldn’t need to die, right?

"Ha, what a fine wine!

This blood wine brewed from the heart blood of a grown man gets more delicious with each sip. These past years have been lived in vain, for what joy is there in being human compared to the pleasure of being a demon?"

"Precisely, I was already old and decrepit, never to have imagined that this demon body would rejuvenate an old tree, and just the other day I took a new concubine.

Tender and delicate, she is the epitome of sprightliness! Marvelous, simply marvelous! Hahaha..."

A group of clothes and crowned beasts were toasting one another, sharing the wonderful transformations they had experienced by becoming demons.

However.

Amidst this pandemonium, not even the two highest beings of the Divine Skills realm at the peak of the Red Seal, including were aware.

Right above their heads, at the height of three feet, a pair of invisible eyes was observing everything clear as day.

At the same time.

Within the City God Temple of Shanyang City, incense smoke curled continuously, and dazzling divine light glowed resplendently, shining for miles in the eyes of demons and deceit monsters.

All divine skills and Daoist abilities were strictly forbidden.

Wang Yuan sat quietly in a side hall of the City God Temple, with Huang Wu and several Yin Officials standing to the left and right, watching a mass of demons’ chaotic dance in a mirror.

This was the power of the "Living Yama" — "Three feet above the head, there is divinity"!

In theory, as long as it was on the land where his believers lived, the gaze of the "Living Yama" could illuminate all treachery and arrive upon hearing its sound.

However, in current practical application, it was subject to the limitations of his own Taoist ability.

Given his current Taoist ability was on the verge of breaking through to that of a Yin God,

he had to use a "City God Detention Warrant" to borrow the power of the "Night Patrol Deity" from the local City God Temple, so he could proactively see the target within a ten-mile radius without anyone praying to his divine name.

But his hidden abilities were extremely strong, as natural as a passing breeze and raindrops off the eaves, completely unnoticed even by the two Yin Gods.

For the past month, Wang Yuan had been bustling about tirelessly, floating off the ground; this was his first time using this power in Shanyang City.

He was determined to make those demons become befuddled ghosts on the San Tu River.

Previously, when Wang Yuan had offered Zhou Jinghuan the official’s position in Dengzhou Prefecture, his response was of course:

"Then go ahead and send it."

And Wang Yuan did not hesitate.

Taking advantage of his trip to connect with his own people and secretly gather assets to bribe the Ministry of Personnel in advance, Wang Yuan had secretly placed his own operatives in the Dengzhou Prefecture.

Wang Yuan had already arrived in Shanyang City, borrowing the most solid "position" of the City God Temple.

In such a "Dragon Qi Hub," only he could cast spells. Unless a large army besieged the place, even if a Yellow Seal Mage came, he would just be sent back to be reborn.

"I’ve been running around outside almost all month and haven’t paid much attention to the changes in the official circles.

Listening via the ’Heart Communication Conch’ to such pollution that spread like a distribution, those "Deceit Objects" mutated from the "Literary Dragon Ascension Skill" were practically great rebels defying Heavenly Destiny.

Especially meant to corrupt the parasitic corrupt officials and greedy politicians that clung to the Great Yan Dynasty’s body, turning them into one’s own shape.

If the upper limit of this "Deceit Object" were high enough, one could take down territories without spilling blood, having enough foundation to undertake a great enterprise.

Lucky that it was found early, now it is necessary to root out the festering sore of the Dengzhou Prefecture officialdom!"

Before Wang Yuan left Yunhe County for Red-Tail Island to transcend calamity, they had suffered an attack in the dream realm initiated by Young Master Huadie.

Zhu Bo’an had even reported that the primary target of Young Master Xue was the Water Virtue Dragon Scale Armor, and capturing the Azure Dragon was only the second priority.

Today was the perfect day to collect interest for both public and private grievances.

At this moment, Huang Wu pointed at the mirror and exclaimed,

"Xiao Yuan, look quickly!"

In the floral hall of the Xue Mansion.

As the drinks reached their peak, Xue Donglou, seated at the highest position and satisfied with the more than a hundred demons and deceit monsters under him, was full of a smug and elated expression.

He was clearly aware of the mistake he had made in the past.

He should not have, out of spite, engaged in underhand tricks with the Imperial Dragon Guard. Within the territories of the Great Yan Court, leveraging official power to oppress was his true strength.

With such a foundation, they would gradually expand to the surrounding states, and even to the entire Yu State.

As long as he secured the greatest benefit from the Dragon Gate assembly on the second day of the second month, he would truly be able to succeed. Once the Hidden Dragon met water, its potential was boundless.

But before that...

The position of his legal wife had already been vacated.

Seeing that Master Qianxing had already passed that volume of the "Old Almanac" around for everyone to read, binding them to his conspiracy, Xue Donglou let out an evil smile:

"Come, bring up the main dish for our honored guests."

As an exotic fragrance filled the air, a pack of jackals carried in a huge silver platter.

However, what lay on the platter was not some delicacy from the mountains or sea; instead, it was an exquisitely beautiful girl with skin as white and smooth as jade!

Hum—!

The crowd of demons fell silent for a moment, then burst into an uproar.

Because the person on the platter was known to them all, it was none other than... the legal wife of Young Master Xue, Yu Youling!

Yu Youling, who had survived the massacre that day, never would have thought until her death.

That after many days of feeling lost and terrified, what awaited her was not her true husband, but a demon disguised as Xue Dongjun!

For the sake of completely seizing the Dragon Energy, he mercilessly decided to kill her.

Wang Yuan and the others, who had also seen the girl and knew of her relationship with Young Master Xue, had their faces turn extremely ugly.

"To kill one’s wife to entertain guests? Such ruthlessness! Today, we’ll take this opportunity to kill them all!"

Bells, bells, bells...

The Yin Yang Heart Bell on Huang Wu’s ankle rang chaotically, but alas, protected by the "Three feet above the head there’s a deity," the bell’s sound couldn’t kill the faithless one.

He was no longer prepared to wait.

Wang Yuan’s hands formed a mantra, and behind him a giant White Tiger phantom that flickered in and out of visibility leaped forth. The "White Tiger Four Saints Seal" between his eyebrows shined brightly, exuding divine might.

Roar—!

Behind Wang Yuan, the voices of supplication from other realms within his "Merit Golden Wheel" gradually faded away.

But the sounds of prayers from the "Evil Avoidance," "Exorcism," "Pray for Harvest," and "Evil Punishment" domains grew clearer.

"County Magistrate Gao destroyed my family and brought ruin upon us; why does he still enjoy the continuity of his lineage and advancement in wealth? The heavens are unjust!"

"Judge Zhao confiscated twenty mu of my fertile land, forcing my wife and children to die from starvation in the streets. I curse him!"

"County Magistrate Hu robbed me of my daughter and wants to marry her off to his son, who was struck down by divine punishment. Who will save my daughter!"

"..."

After the officials in Dengzhou Prefecture had turned into demon "clothes and crowned beasts," the evil they committed only increased.

Millions of worshippers of Wang Yuan had long held grievances against these corrupt officials, hating them to the bone.

At that moment, a powerful Wishing Power arrived, following Wang Yuan’s thoughts.

He casually flicked another "City God Detention Warrant."

Two divine lights appeared in response.

Before him, they took the form of two "Yin Officials" clad in red and green official robes.

They were the Hook Escort Case Judge and the Grinding Examination Case Judge from the ranks of the sacred eighteen officials in the two corridors of the City God Temple.

Both officials, long tainted by incense, greeted him without expression:

"Greetings to the Venerable God!"

Wang Yuan stood up to return the gesture, and solemnly said:

"I ask the two judges to assist me!"

"We shall obey your command!"

The "White Tiger Four Saints Seal" between Wang Yuan’s brows immediately began to transform, in an instant turning into a platinum "Exorcism Seal."

"Exorcism, meaning elimination; disaster, meaning calamity. It is to seek blessings and remove disasters!"

In reality, this power should be called "Exorcism and Calamity." It is both a blessing and a threat, it can reward and also punish!

It can confer blessings as well as bring calamities.

Wang Yuan waved his hand grandly.

On the table before him appeared several "Lord Yama Decrees," already marked with many names and birth details.

With such power at his command, he no longer needed to rely on the "Rashamon Bone" to effortlessly drain the fortune of the wicked, turning them into unlucky ghosts who would choke even on cold water!

There were only two prerequisites.

The first was that the area must be within his domain of belief, and since Dengzhou Prefecture was full of his believers, this condition was naturally satisfied.

The second was that the offender had to be at least one major realm below him and not having received the "Enlightenment."

The more the common people hated the offender, the stronger the power!

While it fell short of dueling with Magicians, it was ideally suited for exterminating the evil-doers.

Even with two "Yin Gods" alongside, they wouldn’t be able to detect who was making the move.

Immediately after, Wang Yuan uttered loudly:

"Command a mighty host to patrol the world, rewarding good and punishing evil as the day is clear! Loyal and upstanding, adjudicating life and death, this evil is blessed while calamity illustrates your awe-inspiring power! Imperial decree! Let me seize their fortunes!"

With that, he took an imperial brush and lightly marked the first "Lord Yama Decree."

At the same time.

Within Xue Mansion, the County Magistrate of Yunhe, who had turned into a white-haired old fox, suddenly saw a blackness appear on his forehead, a "dark cloud" emerging instantaneously.

As the old fox drooled with eyes fixed hungrily on that plate of succulent flesh.

The chief cook, who was in charge of carving the "main dish" and holding a shiny huge kitchen knife, happened to slip next to him. The knife flew out of his hand accidentally.

Thwack—!

Blood splattered, and a fox’s head shot up into the air in an instant.
