Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 180 Hell of Fortune and Longevity
The scene was blood-red. Li Xuan watched as the "green-named" soldiers he had called out hurriedly left, ignoring them and walking into the inner room. He vaguely smelled something burning, which made him feel uneasy.

He followed the smell and saw smoke billowing from a crack in a door. Opening the door, he found a large room with a large communal sleeping platform, long tables, a dish of dark plasters, an oil lamp, a long pipe, and a drug addict lying next to the table with sunken eyes...

These people greedily inhaled the flavor from their pipes, and despite looking like they were about to die, they wore expressions of enjoyment, as if they were flying in the clouds.

Li Xuan glanced at the mirror of evil and frowned. The colors of these drug addicts in the mirror were red and black. Red represented direct murder and evil deeds, while black represented forcing others into desperate situations.

He focused his attention on the black mist, and a specific image immediately appeared.

Like this man in front of me, who is as thin as a monkey, he became addicted to this "longevity drug" that is said to lead directly to the heavens, after being introduced by a friend. He is now hopelessly addicted to it!
He started by enjoying the drug for free, but then had to pay for it. As he became more and more addicted, his need for the drug grew, and he had to take it several times to get that intense feeling he had the first time...

The man's family ran a small business, including a small pawnshop, and they lived a fairly comfortable life. However, as he became more addicted to opium, he secretly took money from the pawnshop to buy opium, and then he exchanged other people's pawned items for opium.

There are two types of pawned items: "live pawn" and "dead pawn". If it is a dead pawn, the item belongs to the pawnshop once it is pawned. If it is a live pawn, the item must be kept for a limited time and wait for the owner to redeem it.

The man went completely mad, even taking his pawned possessions to exchange for a mouthful of opium, which directly angered his elderly father to death!
Because he was inexperienced in business and didn't know how to assess value, he made a mistake when accepting pawned items. He was tricked into accepting what appeared to be a valuable golden cat. When the other person came to redeem the pawned item, they claimed it wasn't their golden cat! However, the man's pawn ticket stated that it was a golden cat. When the matter went to the authorities, he had to compensate the owner with a large sum of money.

The items that had been pawned earlier were gone, and many owners, having heard the news, came looking for them, demanding compensation.

When the pawnshop went out of business, the man ran out of money and, taking advantage of his wife's inattention, sold his five- or six-year-old son for only fifty taels of silver.

After some time, the once relatively wealthy family became empty.

He actually pawned his wife to Zhuang Shan, the superintendent of Yuehai, in exchange for seventy taels of silver, and continued to enjoy himself until Li Xuan caught him in the act…

Li Xuan walked up to the man and said, "Your wife, whom you gave to Zhuangshan, is dead, did you know that?"

The man's face was dark with a reddish tinge. The mirror revealed that his wife had hanged herself two days after giving Zhuang Shan the gift, but no one had told the man.

At this moment, the man was somewhat dazed, puffing smoke from his mouth and nose, his eyes were vacant, and his mouth was crooked. He said blankly, "My wife is perfectly fine, how could she be dead! Haha, I'm a god, even if I die, I can come back to life immediately. Look, isn't my wife dancing in the smoke?"

puff!

The man felt a pain in his chest, looked down, and saw the tip of his Miao sword piercing his heart.

Li Xuan asked, "Does it hurt?"

The man's eye twitched, his face a mixture of pain and pleasure, tears streaming down his cheeks. His expression became contradictory, a mix of laughter and sobs as he uttered, "It hurts so much..."

The Miao sword pierced straight through the heart, spun once, and was then withdrawn.

Li Xuan watched as the man's soul left his body and disappeared with the clanking of the chains, saying, "It didn't hurt enough..."

Nine people were lying on the large communal bed. When they saw the first person die, they finally panicked and tried to escape. However, their bodies had been hollowed out by long-term use of narcotics, and they were weak in their limbs. They felt like they would get a stitch in their side even if they took a few steps faster.

At this moment, these people slowly climbed off the bed, and several fell to the ground.

Li Xuan stood in the only passageway leading to the door, raised his Miao sword high, used the Mirror of Evil to identify the target, swung the sword down, blood spurted out, and his head rolled back and forth on the ground.

The addicts begged to be spared, shouting that they would definitely quit drugs.

But Li Xuan did not forgive him. He was a judge, only judging good and evil, not responsible for forgiveness or repentance. He would only consider it after serving his full sentence in hell and being reborn. The people on the street noticed black smoke rising from the customs office, but no one offered to help put out the fire. They watched indifferently. The reason was simple: the customs office preyed on the local people, committing all sorts of evil deeds, and the people wished they were dead!

The gate opened, and the people exchanged glances before quickly leaving. Several masked men, armed with sticks, rushed forward, intending to give the man from the customs office a good whack on the head, then throw him back into the house and leave, assuming he had died in the fire.

Li Xuan stepped out, sidestepped the sticks, and kicked a man so hard that he vomited bile.

He said, "The customs office supervises and condones people's opium use, as well as smuggling, corruption, and even opens opium dens in the office. They deserve to die immediately."

The other men stood there, stunned. Seeing the bloodstains on the ground where Li Xuan had come from, they asked, "Did you kill the two headless guards at the gate?"

Li Xuan hummed in agreement: "Those who commit evil deeds will surely die."

The man, whose bile had just been kicked out, was stunned. Enduring the pain, he said, "So you're a righteous person. I'm really sorry for my rash action. I hope I didn't hurt you..."

Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "You guys should leave quickly. There's a fire here, and someone will come to put it out soon. Otherwise, you might be arrested and prosecuted as my accomplices."

He had already used the earth-opening technique to crack open the ground and bury the toxic substance deep underground, so even if the fire was fierce, it wouldn't cause the whole city to go wild.

The man invited him to walk together.

Li Xuan declined, saying, "I'm in a hurry, so I won't go together."

The man was very eager to befriend Li Xuan, this good man, and couldn't help but say, "It's fate that we've met. What time are you here? We brothers will take care of it for you!"

Li Xuan said, "Kill people, start from here and kill our way north..."

The man gasped. Hearing Li Xuan's words, it seemed… He asked uncertainly, "Keep killing?"

Li Xuan said, "Keep killing."

The man who was kicked wanted to say something, but was pulled back by his companion.

Li Xuan clasped his hands in a fist salute a few times, then turned and left, disappearing into the crowd.

The man who was kicked asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why would you give up a friend you finally find agreeable?"

Looking in the direction Li Xuan had disappeared, his companion said, "No, his eyes are different from ours. He's someone who truly wants to eliminate corrupt officials! His eyes are pure and unadulterated. People like us would only tarnish his reputation..."

Li Xuan wields the Miao sword just like a deliveryman. Because of his unlimited magical power, he hardly needs to sleep. When he is tired, thirsty, or exhausted, he uses his magical power to solve the problem.

He hacked his way from Guangdong all the way to Fuzhou in Fujian, and arrived at Sanfang Qixiang. Wang Angong and Lu Jiangong were afraid that Li Xuan would kill the wrong person, so they also made a plan in the underworld and ran back and forth to explain it to Li Xuan in detail.

Upon learning that Xu Yingkui, the Governor-General of Fujian and Zhejiang, had committed numerous misdeeds and embezzled the military pay of the Taiwan defense forces, it was discovered that this behavior led to the loss of Taiwan Island and its subsequent separation.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan went straight to the Governor's Mansion.
