Reincarnated as a demon from Douluo Continent, guarding peace in the human world.

Chapter 95 Relief (Part 2)

"What do you want to ask? Don't forget, I am a nobleman of the Star Luo Empire!" the city lord said, his words sounding fierce but his heart was weak.

In fact, he kept backing away, his eyes filled with utter terror as he looked at Xiao.

After investigation, he learned about Xiao's deeds.

This guy is an absolute monster!

He stirred up trouble in the Heaven Dou Empire, even crushing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and terrifying the nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire. It is also rumored that he defeated the encirclement and attack of five Title Douluos!

Such a person is capable enough to assassinate even the Emperor of Xingluo.

Now, surprisingly, he's ended up in his own room.

If someone wanted to take his life, it would be effortless.

He recalled his threats to Xiao during the day, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. He hurriedly said, "If you think I really intend to harm you, you are sorely mistaken! As a local official, how could I possibly abuse my power?"

The city lord hurriedly tried to establish a persona for himself, keeping a close eye on Xiao, fearing that he might suddenly make a move.

Looking at him, Xiao could naturally sense the falsehood in the other party's words.

However, he didn't have any evidence, so it wasn't appropriate to do anything to him.

"I have some questions for you," Xiao said.

What would you like to ask?

The city lord asked in a trembling voice.

"Regarding killing innocent people and claiming credit..." Xiao stared at the city lord's face.

"Killing innocent people and claiming credit? Isn't this a matter of state for the Star Luo Empire? Why are you asking this..."

The city lord fell silent after a few words. He shook his head. "I...I don't know. Don't ask me. If you really want to get involved, then..."

Xiao Zhongshou and Pu Yuan suddenly appeared in front of the city lord's neck.

With just a slight thrust of the spear tip, Xiao could bring down the city lord.

"..." The city lord panicked immediately. Compared to his own life, everything else was insignificant!

"I...I do know a little!"

"I was originally a wealthy merchant in the Star Luo Empire. In order to obtain a noble title, I bought this position as city lord. It was handled by a general who had me join the army and then nominally receive credits."

"If, if I'm not mistaken, you can ask that general..."

The city lord stammered.

"Who? Do you have any proof?" Xiao asked again.

"Prince Zhu of the Star Luo Empire, the emperor's brother-in-law... If he hadn't killed innocent people and claimed credit for them, where would he have gotten so many merits in this time of relative peace?"

The city lord chuckled awkwardly.

Xiao nodded slightly and pondered for a moment.

Prince Zhu should be the most powerful noble in the Star Luo Empire, equivalent to Grand Marshal Ge Long in the Heaven Dou Empire.

If we can find the other party, we can learn more about the military's secrets.

The city lord continued, "Xiao... Lord Xiao, what are you after? A powerful figure like you would be an honored guest anywhere. Why are you associating with that group..."

Before the city lord could finish speaking, he fell silent upon seeing Xiao's icy gaze.

"..." The city lord sighed repeatedly, feeling extremely frustrated.

It's completely incomprehensible why there would be such an anomaly as Xiao, who would actually stand against the empire for the sake of some commoners.

Killing innocent people and claiming credit for their crimes is nothing more than killing a group of ordinary villagers who have little power to fight back.

They are not in the city, or even in the mountains, and are not registered residents.

Shouldn't this be considered a matter within the Star Luo Empire?

As a result, Xiao interfered in his business, which infuriated him. Unfortunately, his life was now in Xiao's hands.

He didn't dare to curse Xiao, otherwise he would definitely say that the other party was mentally ill!

Xiao then added, "Don't make things difficult for the Tianshui Girls' Group."

"No problem at all, no problem at all. How could I possibly do such a thing? Lord Xiao, rest assured, I promise to cooperate fully and ensure the Tianshui Girls' Troupe's performance goes smoothly!"

The city lord repeatedly assured him.

Hearing Xiao say that, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Since there's no further questioning, it means they're not going to take his life!

Xiao glanced deeply at the city lord, and suddenly a bluish-green flame appeared on his body.

The next instant, his entire body vanished.

The city lord breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew his martial spirit, and sat heavily in his chair.

He wiped his forehead; his hands were covered in sweat!

He sat there in a daze for a long time before recovering from the shock of surviving the ordeal.

He then took out a piece of paper and began to write furiously on it.

In order to protect himself, he even betrayed Prince Zhu. If he doesn't deal with this quickly, Prince Zhu might crush him one day, even without Xiao's help!

No, in fact, if Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing found out, he might die too!

"I must strike first! Kill Xiao! Write a letter now! Describe the situation here! We need a large army to come; only then can we possibly win!"

The city lord began to exaggerate Xiao's power and the threat he posed to Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

……

On the other hand, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing did not move into the city lord's mansion. Having witnessed the city lord doing such things in broad daylight, they both felt utterly disgusted with each other.

They booked two rooms at the most luxurious hotel in the city.

Zhu Zhuqing came into Dai Mubai's room after hearing that he had received a letter from Tang San.

"The mistress won't be here for a while. She recently developed a powerful weapon that she claims can kill Xiao! So we have to wait."

Dai Mubai said with a smile.

"Hmm? If it's Third Brother, the credibility is very high, and he might really be able to kill Xiao Xianren! But we can't just wait for Third Brother to come."

Zhu Zhuqing said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai shook his head and laughed, "Zhu Qing, why do I feel like you treat Tang San better than me... Of course, we definitely have to give it a try."

"Otherwise, wouldn't our elite cavalry have come all this way for nothing?"

"A single cavalryman's encirclement isn't enough. I'll have ballistae and oil prepared. He's supposed to be protecting the Tianshui Women's Corps, right? Let's make him perish in the flames!"

Dai Mubai snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with killing intent.

Shrek Academy's motto is that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre. Tang San's biological father was killed, and Dai Mubai, as his brother, naturally could not sit idly by!

Zhu Zhuqing thought so too, and nodded, saying, "His combat power is too strong; we cannot appear directly in front of him."

Dai Mubai smiled slightly, "Of course, I know what I'm doing. He won't even know how he died."

"Hmm..." Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

……

The next day.

A group of Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall blocked the entrance to the Blacksmith Association building.

The leader was Miles, which was his usual practice of coming to cause trouble almost every few days.

Because of their conspiracy to conquer the world, the Spirit Hall has always wanted to swallow up the Blacksmith Association and use it for their own purposes.

This was an opportunity to make a name for himself, which is why Miles, the second-generation leader, was assigned to Gengxin City. Otherwise, he would have been in a more comfortable main city long ago.

Today, he led more than thirty Soul Masters and, as usual, blocked the entrance to the Blacksmith Association, deliberately provoking trouble.

In the lobby on the first floor, the blacksmiths pretended not to see Miles and his group and hurriedly left.

All they could do was protest silently.

"Hey, you bunch of blacksmiths! How rude of you! Can't you see our bishop is here? Are you all blind?"

"Where's that brat Silong? Come out here right now! Don't keep our Bishop waiting!"

"Where's Silong? Tell me now! Or you're not leaving!"

"..."

The Soul Masters of the Spirit Hall are all incredibly arrogant and domineering.

One of the Soul Masters captured a blacksmith. Despite the blacksmith's strong physique, he was mostly an ordinary person without Soul Power and was no match for him.

The Soul Master pinned him against the wall. "I'm asking you a question! Didn't you hear me?!"

The blacksmith's face was flushed red; he looked extremely uncomfortable and could hardly breathe.

The Soul Masters deliberately humiliated him, watching him struggle in pain.

The blacksmiths around were furious but dared not speak out, because even if they attacked together, they would not be a match for these soul masters.

The Soul Master couldn't possibly have actually killed the blacksmith; he was deliberately humiliating them.

Miles chuckled, took out a broadsword with several nicks in the blade, and threw it forcefully, pinning it against the wall.

It was only a fist's distance from the Soul Master's head.

"Look at this! This is the quality of your Master Silong's forging! You actually tried to deceive me with this! It's utterly absurd! What if this piece of junk gets me killed on the battlefield?!"

"Silong! Get your ass out here! You're practically robbing me of my life!"

Miles started shouting.

The blacksmiths were furious, their faces turning red. That broadsword was indeed Si Long's work.

But the gap on it was definitely made by human violence!

It's like trying to cut a stone with a sword, is that normal?

Miles is deliberately picking a fight!

At this moment, Si Long came down the stairs and saw Miles and the others, and immediately understood what had happened.

"Bishop Miles, let me be frank with you. No matter what you do, we will not compromise. The Blacksmiths' Guild is a completely neutral organization and will not submit to any power."

Silong said in a very serious tone.

Miles chuckled, his eyes icy, and said coldly, "You think you're in charge? Did I agree to that? What a joke! Remember this, I've got your Blacksmiths' Guild wrapped around my little finger!"

Miles grabbed the blacksmith who was pinned to the wall and threw him at Silong.

Silong helped him up, his face showing anger, but he dared not offend Bishop Miles.

If a conflict breaks out, the Blacksmith Association will be no match for the Spirit Hall.

"Tell me, how will you compensate me?!"

Miles stopped worrying about annexing the Blacksmiths' Guild; he had plenty of time to deal with it!

Now the priority is to seize as many benefits as possible.

Si Long looked frustrated. As a disciple of the master craftsman Lou Gao, his works were highly sought after, but as soon as they were released, seven or eight out of ten were bought by Miles at low prices.

Then he would deliberately break it, but demand compensation at three times the market price.

Just as Silong was about to give Miles the gold soul coins he had in his hand.

A voice suddenly rang out.

"The sword wasn't defective, so you don't need to pay for it."

The sudden sound brought a look of surprise and delight to Silong's face.

Miles sneered, turning around as he said, "Where did this blind fool come from? Doesn't he know the name of Miles?"

"How dare you interfere with my business..."

The words had barely left his mouth when Miles saw Xiao's figure and his voice stopped abruptly.

Because of Bibi Dong's arrival, he specifically checked the information about Xiao and learned that she was a truly ruthless person, someone who could kill someone without caring about their identity.

Miles took a half step back and looked at Xiao as if he were seeing his natural enemy.

The blacksmiths were thrilled to see this.

Si Long laughed and said, "Miles, do you still want my money?"

The other blacksmiths laughed when they saw Miles's timid appearance.

Miles' face flushed red; he desperately wanted to slap Silong.

But looking at the demon beside him, he became afraid.

The other Soul Masters, used to Miles' arrogance, hadn't realized what was happening yet.

Upon seeing that Xiao, a "young man," dared to disturb them, they all shouted and yelled.

"Hey! Who are you? How dare you bother us? Do you want to go against the Spirit Hall? You're just asking for death!"

"That pretty boy is quite handsome. Why don't you come with us? Don't you like sticking your neck out for others?"

"You're young and naive, but you'll understand when you realize it..."

"..."

Miles snapped out of his daze and snapped, "Shut up, all of you! Let's go!"

Miles didn't dare stay a moment longer and turned to leave. The Soul Masters who followed him looked at each other, not understanding why he would suddenly change his mind.

Just as I was about to walk out of the blacksmiths' association building, my hand touched the door.

"etc."

The sound of the demon reappeared.

Miles froze for a moment. He swallowed hard, turned around, and looked at Xiao warily. "You, what do you want? I haven't offended you!"

At this moment, the other Soul Masters also realized that something was wrong.

Miles, who was lawless and acted like a local tyrant in Gengxin City, was so nervous. This young man must be no ordinary person.

The Soul Masters' gazes toward Xiao became tense.

And now, Xiao's gaze was putting immense pressure on them.

Xiao narrowed his eyes, staring at the numerous Soul Masters.

They can clearly see the karmic obstacles that bind them.

Most people kill more than one innocent person.

In fact, anyone who can be seen by Xiao as being burdened by karmic obstacles is someone he must kill.

Because those who can create karmic obstacles are necessarily innocent people.

Bibi Dong must have killed many people in the past, but why is she not burdened with karmic debts? It's because there were no innocent people among them who had never done anything evil in their lives.

Suddenly, a long spear appeared in Xiao's hand, along with Pu Yuan.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

With a thrust of the spear, a large hole appeared in the chest of a Soul Master.

The spear was pulled out, and the Soul Master stared in disbelief at the wound on his chest before slowly collapsing to the ground, dying instantly.

"..." Everyone present was stunned.

No one expected that Xiao would actually kill someone in such a situation.

Xiao continued forward, pecking at Pu Yuan like a bird's beak, instantly killing a Soul Master.

He is very fast.

Before the fear could fully spread, only four members of the Spirit Hall's Soul Masters remained, including Miles.

Everyone else collapsed, and blood flowed on the ground.

"I'll look for you again later," Xiao said to Miles, putting away He Pu Yuan.

"Ah... Ahhhh!!!"

Miles, clutching his hair and pale-faced, suddenly screamed in terror.

He didn't care about anything anymore, he burst through the door and stumbled away.

The remaining three Soul Masters collapsed in pools of blood, some even wetting their pants!
