At the same time, I traveled through time and space, I dominated the heavens and the worlds

Lin Bei not only did not dodge Ling Yao's actions, but also took the initiative to accept Ling Yao's spiritual power, allowing her to inject her domineering and tyrannical spiritual power into his body.

Ling Yao didn't realize that Lin Bei was doing this on purpose. He changed his gentle demeanor from before, and a smug look appeared on his face.

Lingyao and Lin Bei were standing very close together. When Lingyao looked up, she met Lin Bei's gaze.

Ling Yao's eyes gleamed with smugness as he slowly spoke with a smile: "I originally thought that as Wuxian's master, you must be more powerful than him, but after exchanging blows, I found that you're nothing special. If it were Wuxian, he definitely wouldn't have let me get this close to him."

As she spoke, Ling Yao urged the spiritual power within Lin Bei's body, trying to disrupt the flow of spiritual power within him. Even if he didn't explode and die, she wanted to at least severely injure him.

As Wuxian's master, it's unlikely he would simply kill Lin Bei.

The moment the spiritual energy was injected into Lin Bei's body, Ling Yao already had an 80% chance of winning.

A dark glint flashed in his eyes. Just as he was waiting for Lin Bei to panic and vomit blood, he was surprised to find that Lin Bei's expression did not change at all.

Ling Yao's expression stiffened slightly, and then she saw Lin Bei slowly curl the corners of his mouth and reveal a faint smile: "First of all, only those whose talent I value are worthy of being my disciples. The me you know is just your imagination. You don't really think that I'm not leaving the mountain because my strength has declined, do you?"

As he spoke, Lin Bei reached out and grabbed Ling Yao by the neck, easily lifting her up.

Ling Yao was startled and instinctively struggled. He also immediately raised his hand and aimed it at Lin Bei's face, intending to launch an attack.

Unfortunately, Lin Bei no longer gave him that chance.

Lin Bei looked at Ling Yao calmly, and just as Ling Yao was about to launch an attack, he activated the power of the Shadow Monarch.

The black liquid surged out from Lin Bei's shadow, swelling around him and then tightly enveloping Ling Yao. Lin Bei released Ling Yao, who was still suspended in mid-air, unable to break free of the black liquid no matter how hard she tried.

Ling Yao didn't know what the black liquid was either. He stared at Lin Bei below with a gloomy expression, but his heart was filled with horror.

It turns out Lin Bei is so powerful; he underestimated Lin Bei's strength.

No, it should be said that he was too arrogant, thinking that his master had secluded himself for a hundred years because it was time for him to die of old age and his strength had greatly declined.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Ling Yao's face was tense. It wasn't that he didn't want to resist or break free from the black liquid, but that he simply couldn't.

It was at this moment that Ling Yao truly realized how vast the gap was between him and Lin Bei.

Ling Yao looked down at Lin Bei, who was slowly raising his finger at her, and sneered.

"I know I can't beat you, so before I die, I want to ask you a question."

Lin Bei indeed had no intention of letting Ling Yao live. He raised an eyebrow and said calmly.

"go ahead."

Lingyao looked Lin Bei up and down: "With your abilities, you are capable of establishing a demon spirit hall by yourself. Why did you entrust this matter to other demons and instead choose to live in seclusion and hide in the deep mountains and forests?"
You should know that as the founder of the Demon Spirit Guild, you enjoy the highest level of rights.

Lin Bei shrugged: "What else could it be? It's just that I find it troublesome. Besides, I don't care about those things. Are you done? Now it's my turn."

Without giving Ling Yao a chance to reply, Lin Bei pointed his finger at Ling Yao and slowly uttered a sentence.

"Avada Kedavra".

As Lin Bei finished speaking, a ghastly green light burst forth from his fingertips, twisted a few times in mid-air, and transformed into a ghastly green snake that lunged directly at Ling Yao.

Ling Yao didn't know what move Lin Bei was using, but he still sensed a powerful aura of death from it. He only had time to change his expression slightly before he was enveloped in a ghastly green light.

The ghastly green light flickered continuously within Ling Yao's body until she let out a muffled groan, her head drooped, and she was lifeless.

As Ling Yao dissipated her spirit, Lin Bei confirmed her death. He withdrew the black liquid and turned his gaze to a spot not far away.

Lin Bei walked over slowly and saw that Lu Ye was still fighting with Ling Yao's men.

Lin Bei observed for a moment and nodded slightly. Lu Ye was indeed strong; even the five of them combined couldn't defeat her. He figured the battle would be over in about five minutes.

Lin Bei didn't intervene; he simply stood with his hands behind his back, observing the battle.

At the center of the battle, Lu Ye noticed Lin Bei's gaze. Perhaps it was the pressure from his master, but Lu Ye's attacks became faster and faster. In less than three minutes, all five people were knocked to the ground by Lu Ye and tied up with steel bars.

Lin Bei nodded in satisfaction and said with a faint smile, "Not bad, you didn't embarrass your master. Now that we've caught them, let's go back to the guild hall. I've already dealt with the mastermind, Ling Yao."

Lu Ye returned to Lin Bei, panting heavily. She bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your praise, Grandmaster. I will now..."

Before Lu Ye could finish speaking, Lin Bei opened a spatial passage. He drew a circle in mid-air, pointed to Nezha and the others who were looking over in confusion, and said calmly, "There's no need to specifically capture people and take them to the guild hall. Look, the people in charge of this incident are all here. You can talk to them."

As he spoke, Lin Bei first crossed the spatial passage and said calmly to Wuxian behind Nezha, "I killed the person, it was Ling Yao. You can investigate and interrogate the follow-up situation yourselves. This matter is actually very simple to handle. Although you don't interfere much in the affairs of the guild, you should still take Xiao Hei to the guild more often. Firstly, to improve your relationship with the guild, and secondly, you should at least visit Lu Ye more often."

After listening, Wuxian felt somewhat helpless, but still obediently nodded.

Just as Lin Bei was reprimanding Wuxian, Lu Ye, while still in shock, brought Jie Nihuang and the others to Nezha and the others.

Lin Bei turned his head and saw Lu Ye moving everyone over, then deactivated the spatial passage.

He then opened a new house that led directly into his deep mountain forest.

Before leaving, Lin Bei glanced at Wuxian indifferently and said, "I'm leaving now. Unless there's something really important that the guild needs to shut down, don't bother me anymore."

Wuxian bowed respectfully and accepted Lin Bei's words. Only then did Lin Bei cross the spatial passage and return to his secluded mountain retreat.
-
In the new world, another Lin Bei felt someone shaking him.

Along with that came impatient urging: "Hey, Lin Bei, you're spacing out again. You know this isn't the time for you to space out!"

The voice is familiar.

Lin Bei was certain he had heard it somewhere before.

A burning sensation came from all directions, accompanied by a strong smell of sulfur.

Lin Bei frowned and quickly opened his eyes, only to find himself standing on an empty street.

It was dark all around; it was nighttime. There was only one streetlamp above him; the streetlights in the distance were all off. In front of him stood a man and a woman.

The two of them seemed very nervous. The man kept turning around to look at them, shouting impatiently, "Lin Bei! You fucking awake, get to work! The devil has come for us!"

demon?

Is this new world connected to demons?

Just as Lin Bei was filled with doubt, the streetlights overhead flickered as if they were about to go out.

Lin Bei's heart tightened. He heard the sound of countless flapping wings coming from the surrounding darkness, and the smell of sulfur was getting stronger and stronger.

The overhead streetlights finally gave way and shattered with a "crack," leaving only the faint light from the shop windows behind the three of them as their only source of illumination.

Lin Bei turned around and was surprised to find that the shop window contained a sculpture of the Virgin Mary.

Just as Lin Bei was observing his surroundings, the man in front of him pulled out a pistol and fired a shot into the darkness.

With a loud bang and a flash of fire, Lin Bei turned his head and saw the countless demons flapping their wings.

Those were monsters without upper heads. They were humanoid, withered so that only a layer of skin clung to their bones, and had a pair of bat wings on their backs. They were terrifying and ugly.

That's the lowest level of demon.

Low-level demons rarely fight alone. At this moment, the three of them were surrounded by countless low-level demons, who were forcing them back towards the shop window behind them step by step.

Just as the man was pulling the woman back to Lin Bei's side, he finally couldn't help but complain, "Lin Bei, do it! What are you waiting for? Do you really intend to watch us die here?"

Lin Bei didn't have time to think. He raised his hand and aimed it at the darkness in front of him, activating the power of the Shadow Monarch.

Black liquid surged from Lin Bei's shadow, instantly invading the darkness before him.

Just ten seconds later, the situation, which had just been completely surrounded, suddenly reversed.

The low-level demons that were closing in on the three suddenly let out terrified roars in the darkness. No one knew what had happened in the darkness, only that the suffocating feeling that had been pressing down on the three suddenly disappeared. Then the sound of flapping wings gradually faded away, and the strange roars also stopped. Only the smell of sulfur permeated the surroundings, reminding the three of what had just happened.

The streetlights in the distance flickered, and one by one they lit up again.

Lin Bei silently withdrew the black liquid. He turned to look at the man who was supporting himself on his knees and panting heavily. Memories of this world flooded his mind.

He entered the world of American horror.

No, it's not just American Horror Story; it seems to incorporate other elements as well.

The man before him was his life-and-death companion in this world, named Constantine.

Lin Bei knew about the movie *Constantine*. Constantine is a detective who walks between Heaven and Hell. From a young age, Constantine possessed the ability to distinguish between demons and angels. This superpower caused him endless trouble, forcing him to attempt suicide. However, neither Heaven nor Hell would accept Constantine. Having lost faith in humans, demons, and even angels, he wanders between Heaven, Hell, and the human world.

This film simply tells a small story from Constantine's life.

That is, he accepted the commission from the woman next to him to help investigate the cause of death of her twin sister.

Angela Dawson, a female police detective, believes that there are no ghosts or gods, and that science can explain all phenomena and solve all problems; she is a typical atheist.

However, her twin sister committed suicide under mysterious circumstances, with many suspicious points surrounding the suicide. Angela was unwilling to be fooled and took the initiative to investigate.

The two unexpectedly meet while investigating the case, and after spending some time together, the female detective gains some understanding of the mysterious events.

The current situation is that Angela Dawson took the initiative to find Constantine's address to ask for help, but Constantine refused.

When Angela Dawson left Constantine's house, she was targeted by a demon. Constantine noticed something was wrong and came out to rescue her.

Lin Bei, as Constantine's partner, naturally followed along.

Lin Bei's clone in this world is a detective who transcends the three realms, and in terms of ability, he is naturally much more powerful than Constantine.

Furthermore, Lin Bei is not bound by faith; he can use his power however he wants. If Constantine hadn't befriended Lin Bei ten years ago and saved him during a dangerous mission, Lin Bei might have sided with the devil.

After reviewing his memories, Lin Bei rubbed his temples and walked calmly to Constantine and Angela, stopping in front of them: "So, you're planning to get involved in this? Don't blame me for not warning you, this matter involves more than just demons."

Constantine wiped his face, his brow furrowed, looking rather displeased: "Of course I know that. I thought of that when I refused her. Demons and humans joined forces, and her sister was probably sacrificed, but I'm not entirely sure of the specifics. You saw what happened just now; the demons were about to attack her. What does that mean? It means that her sister's death disrupted the demons' plans."

Constantine reached out and grabbed Angela, who was vomiting while leaning against the car, and continued impatiently, "She's been targeted by demons. We were just discovered by demons too. Even if we don't do anything, we're still involved. Demons won't let this go. They'll come to kill us and take Angela away. Lin Bei, do you think we should help her?"

Lin Bei raised an eyebrow, looking Constantine up and down with some surprise.

Unexpectedly, this Constantine is much smarter than the one in the original story.

He even foresaw the devil's plan at that moment: to kidnap Angela.

Because Angela and her sister possess strong spiritual power, they are well-suited to serve as a medium between hell and the human world.

Some people want the Angela sisters to become the mother, so that Azrael, the son of Satan, can be born from a human body.

This is a disaster that humanity cannot bear. Angela's sister committed suicide because she didn't want to be controlled by the devil, so she jumped off the building.

Lin Bei stroked his chin, finding the whole thing rather interesting. Since he was already entangled with demons anyway, he might as well get involved and give those blind demons a bit of a deterrent. At the same time, he could also find out the mastermind behind it all to prevent endless troubles.

Thinking it over, Lin Bei decided it was feasible. He glanced at the pale-faced Angela and nodded lightly, "Go ahead and help. Go back and get your cumbersome tools first, then see how to find the demon."

Upon hearing that they were going to find a demon, Angela panicked: "Why do we have to find a demon? Isn't that just going to our deaths?"

Having just survived a near-death experience by being surrounded and killed by demons, Angela couldn't understand why these two men would still actively seek out demons.

This clearly foreshadows danger, a warning from the devil. Shouldn't they be looking for a safe place and preparing for the next devil's attack?
After all, how can a human possibly fight against a demon?
Humans can never directly confront demons.

All humans can do is kneel down and pray to God, begging God to save them.

That's all. (End of Chapter)
