“Demon, where do you think you’re going!”

An Lin suddenly burst forward at an astounding speed and punched toward the Evil Spirit General which had just swatted the golden sword projection aside.

Who knew that this evil spirit was extremely nimble. Twisting about like a mudfish, it dodged his fist.

The evil spirit’s body was pitch-black and mucous. In the darkness of the night, it looked like a black sheet which fluttered in the wind.

Once An Lin neared it, he began to feel an extremely intense negative emotion.

This mental state being projected outwards was the intertwining of chaos, terror, agony, and despair.

A shrill wail resounded through the air. It was not only ear-piercing, but also seemed to resonate with the brain and elicit all kinds of negative emotions.

The evil spirit’s body suddenly writhed intensely. Immediately afterward, ten pitch-black claws extended from its body and started lashing toward An Lin.

Mountain Quaking Fist!

An Lin threw a fist toward the direction before him. With boundless might, the golden fist that was ten feet in size surged outwards.

The pitch-black claws were pulverized by the Mountain Quaking Fist which continued to surge forward.

Taking advantage of the fist’s pause as it struck its claws, the evil spirit performed an evasive maneuver and dodged this powerful strike. Then, it continued to flee.

“Tian Lingling! Is there any way to restrict this evil spirit?” An Lin shouted toward the girl behind him.

She didn’t need to be reminded by An Lin, and a ward was already pinched between her fingers. Looking toward the fleeing evil spirit, she began muttering incantations.

“Four Spirits Soul Locking Chain, activate!”

A blinding light instantly radiated out from the ward, and four golden chains started slithering toward the evil spirit like snakes.

Even though this Evil Spirit General was especially nimble, it was unable to escape from these chains. The four chains instantly bound his body.

“The Soul Locking Chain can’t last for long, hurry up!” Tian Lingling shouted anxiously at An Lin after realizing that the ward in her hand had already started to burn.

The shrill cry of the evil spirit sounded even more mournful now, and energy erupted from its body as it tried to break out of the restriction.

However, before it could break free, a massive golden fist smashed toward it.

Boom!

A pure energy erupted, crushing the evil spirit.

A lump of distorted black matter lay on the floor squirming.

This thing was very unusual, and An Lin was afraid that unwanted situations could arise if he didn’t dispose of it properly. So, he didn’t feel like examining it anymore.

Just like that, he threw another Mountain Quaking Fist at the evil spirit on the ground!

Boom!

The entire floor caved in under the might of the Mountain Quaking Fist.

The distorted body of the evil spirit was also ripped to shreds and eventually, it disappeared completely.

“Phew… Finished!” An Lin patted his hands off and there was a smug look on his face.

After exterminating those two Evil Spirit Generals, the murder cases of Huang Xi Village finally drew to a close.

At this moment, in the middle of the pit formed by An Lin’s punch, a crystal white bundle of cobwebs appeared.

This had emerged from the evil spirit’s body after it disappeared.

However, An Lin clearly didn’t notice this bundle of cobweb.

Outside of the dense forest, a black-robed male was looking nervously toward An Lin’s direction, and he kept repeating, “Hurry up and look down, hurry up and look down! How have you not noticed such a massive bundle of cobwebs…”

Right at this moment, a petite and cute girl ran to An Lin’s side.

Seeing this, the black-robed male excitedly thought, “Ah! The male is blind, but this girl can probably notice it!”

Immediately afterward, the girl started conversing cheerily with him, completely ignoring the pit…

The black-robed male felt his chest tighten. “Are they both blind?! Monsters always drop loot when they die. Why aren’t they checking for loot after killing the Evil Spirit General?”

Tian Lingling was all smiles as she fished out another talisman. “Earth Flattening Technique!”

Rumble…

Earth and rock rumbled about.

Immediately afterward, the pit formed by An Lin was leveled just like that…

Along with the pit, the crystal-white bundle of cobwebs also disappeared under the earth and rocks.

“Fake Daoist Priest, don’t forget to clean up the battlefield! Otherwise, the villagers will receive a scare if they discover such a massive pit on their path!” Tian Lingling raised her cute eyebrows and spoke with an air of authority.

Hearing this, An Lin didn’t retort her. Instead, he gave her a thumbs up. “Nicely done!”

The black-robed male’s vision blackened in anger and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

What the f*ck!

You remember to clean up the battlefield but don’t remember to scour it for loot?

No… I went to such difficulty to lure cultivators from the cultivation world. The mission can’t fail just like this.

If I want to remedy this situation…

Then I, the Demon King of Wisdom, must act myself!

The black-robed Demon King of Wisdom suppressed his aura to that of the Tenth Stage Dao Body and started to walk out slowly.

“Since we’re done with this task, let’s head back.” An Lin patted Tian Lingling’s shoulder and started to turn around.

However, right at this moment, he suddenly heard an angry shout. “Halt! Have you asked me, the Demon King of Wisdom, if you can escape?!”

An Lin and Tian Lingling turned around at the same time. Then, they saw a black-robed male glowering angrily at them with crimson eyes.

There’s still an enemy?!

Is he the mastermind?

They felt the powerful aura emanating from the Demon King of Wisdom, and their expressions became even more grave.

Tian Lingling clenched a ward in her hand and An Lin was ready to cast a Mountain Quaking Fist at any time.

Seeing the expressions of the two people in front of him, the Demon King of Wisdom was very satisfied and he ferociously slammed the floor with a single hand.

Boom!

The pit which had just been filled split open again, and a bundle of crystal-white cobwebs flew out into his hands.

“Such nerve! You actually dare slay two of my trusted lieutenants and even futilely attempt to hide this bundle of Snow King Cobweb?! Do you know how important this is to me?!” The Demon King of Wisdom’s voice was dripping with hatred.

An Lin and Tian Lingling were utterly stupefied, and they exchanged a glance.

There was something in the bottom of the pit?!

This hidden Snow King Cobweb… If he didn’t mention it, then we never would have known!

Is this Demon King of Wisdom retarded?

The Demon King of Wisdom found that An Lin and Tian Lingling were looking at him with a hint of pity in their eyes, and this made him feel a bit uneasy.

Could it be that my plan has been seen through? It can’t be, my acting is exquisite…

“Heave-ho! You won’t get away with this, die!”

The Demon King of Wisdom flung his arm and a gigantic black palm rushed toward An Lin.

An Lin dared not belittle this strike, and he used his full-power Mountain Quaking Fist right away!

The golden fist tore through the gigantic black palm and smashed into the Demon King of Wisdom.

“Pfff… Ah!”

The Demon King of Wisdom spat out a mouthful of black blood. The Snow King Cobweb slid out of his hands, and he fell into a continuous retreat.

“If it wasn’t for the fact that my severe injuries haven’t recovered, do you think that you’d be able to injure me?!

“Next time we meet, I’ll definitely make your life a living hell!” After shouting these words of threat, the Demon King of Wisdom started to flee.

His speed was so quick that An Lin and Tian Lingling gave up any thoughts of pursuing him.

“He escaped just like that?” An Lin was a bit dumbfounded.

Wasn’t he all arrogant and acting like the final boss just a moment ago? How come he was unable to withstand even one Mountain Quaking Fist? Where is his dignity as a boss?!

Tian Lingling furrowed her brows. “I keep getting the feeling that something is off about that so-called Demon King of Wisdom,” she said uneasily.

Thinking back to his exaggerated expressions, An Lin nodded in agreement.

Afterward, the two of them looked cautiously at the bundle of crystal-white cobwebs which lay on the floor…

…

This was a mystic realm within the Kunlun Mountain Ranges. Jagged rocks of grotesque shapes filled this place, and the entire area was shrouded by a rainbow-colored mist.

In the depths of this mystic realm, there was a vast cave which was filled to the brim with vital energy.

Within this cave, there was a golden supreme throne, six kingly thrones, and hundreds of black-robed males.

Atop the golden supreme throne, there was an imposing figure shrouded by a black mist. Currently, he was looking at a crimson-eyed male who was half-kneeling before him.

“Wisdom, how did it go?” The imposing figure spoke in a husky voice.

“Rest assured Demon Emperor. Although there was a small hiccup along the way, thanks to my flawless acting skills, the task was completed successfully!” The crimson-eyed male spoke with firm conviction.

The Demon Emperor nodded approvingly. “Very well! The moment that our demon clan revives has finally come!”
