Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

Chapter 127 Sanhe Town

Chen Hengyi stared at the headless corpse of the mandrill, his face expressionless.

He walked to the center of the underground palace, looked at the mountains of human skin, hair, and bones, and simply shook his head. He never showed mercy to these man-eating monsters.

At this moment, the Five Ghosts dragged the trembling Mayor Fang over.

Mayor Fang was so frightened that he was terrified, and his crotch was soaked.

"Boss, we got the answer."

Jin Gui shrieked, "This mountain demon has been raised for several years. He feeds it with living people and uses it to deal with disobedient villagers and business rivals. The people of Majia Village were wiped out by the mountain demon sent by Mayor Fang because they refused to pay extra taxes."

Chen Hengyi nodded and looked at Mayor Fang: "You're quite the player, raising a monster as an assassin."

Mayor Fang knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly: "Your Honor, spare me! Your Honor, spare me! I was forced into this situation! Those villagers were too disobedient; I was only thinking of maintaining order in the town!"

"For the sake of maintaining order?" Chen Hengyi sneered. "Using living people to feed demons, is this your idea of ​​maintaining order?"

Mayor Fang's fat lips trembled uncontrollably, and all he could do was kowtow and beg for mercy.

"What about the Jiang family?"

"Boss, the Jiang family will be getting married in three days. It's the wedding of the Jiang family's young master and the Tang family's daughter, Tang Shanshan."

"Then Master Jiang sent an invitation, but because the young master of the Jiang family had married several wives before and none of them lived long, the family only sent some gifts and did not attend the banquet."

He will marry in three days?

The original plot immediately flashed through his mind, and Chen Hengyi instantly understood the timeline he was in.

"If that's the case, then there's no rush. Let's take it slow."

What Chen Hengyi was concerned about was the thousand-year-old zombie king. He was worried that the zombie would be attracted to the wax corpse in the Jiang family's underground palace and secretly eat the cured meat. He wouldn't be in any trouble for a while.

The Zombie King was originally a great general, but after his tomb was robbed, he was transformed into a terrifyingly powerful Zombie King.

A bald master from Maoshan, along with his four disciples, Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning, and a large number of men, encountered this zombie and tried to eliminate it, but ultimately suffered heavy casualties, and Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning were separated from their master.

The zombie king made his way to the Jiang family.

During this time, the four disciples of Maoshan will arrive on the night of the Jiang family's wedding, regardless of wind, rain, thunder, or lightning.

They chased the Zombie King to the Jiang family's house, but couldn't find him due to the chaotic magnetic field, so they stayed at the Jiang family's house to work.

It wasn't until Tang Long, the bandit leader who coveted the Jiang family's wealth, that things began. He was also the brother of Tang Shanshan, the young mistress of the Jiang family.

He conspired with a Xiangxi corpse-driving king to incite a rebellion of the Jiang family's preserved corpses, and then take the opportunity to go in and search for treasure. Unexpectedly, the zombie king was also lured out.

Afterwards, the master of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning will also appear to intercept the zombies.

In the end, the master and the zombie king perished together. Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning seized the Jiang family's property, wanting to become wealthy landowners...

The zombie king had to be eliminated, and Chen Hengyi, the master of Maoshan, didn't want him to die either... after all, he was someone who had always been dedicated to exorcising demons and monsters.

He is a righteous person.

As for the four disciples, Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning... let them do whatever they want, as long as it doesn't affect you.

Chen Hengyi came to his senses and looked at Mayor Fang, who was already terrified.

Chao Wugui asked, "Does this person still have any value?"

"Reporting to the boss, we no longer need this person based on intelligence... perhaps there's still some merit to his identity."

"Alright, then... you take his place." Chen Hengyi casually pointed and selected the water ghost.

The next moment, Mayor Fang cried out in despair, "No! Spare me! Spare me!"

However, once the water ghost learned that it could possess someone, it ignored the other person's pleas for mercy and rushed into their body, devouring the town mayor's soul.

In the blink of an eye, the town mayor knelt on one knee with a fawning expression and said respectfully, "Boss, I learned something from this bastard's memories... it's about this method of raising demons. He didn't create it himself."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hengyi was immediately surprised: "Not original? Who spread this?"

"Boss, this place is now ruled by the Demon Qing, and this method has been passed down from above... For these people, the demons and the Demon Qing have a cooperative and symbiotic relationship."

"Even this mandrill was brought here because of that bastard surnamed Fang, and we spent a lot of money to get it..."

It seems that whoever has a demon in their house gets promoted first.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hengyi was speechless.

The Maoshan sect in this world doesn't seem to have any magic, and they can only deal with zombies by force, but the demons and monsters here seem to live quite comfortably.

Could this be what the imbalance of Yin and Yang refers to?

Not only is the spiritual energy in the air predominantly yin, but the world itself has become unbalanced.

The imperial court actually advocated keeping demons and monsters in captivity.

Chen Hengyi thought for a moment, then raised his hand, lightning crackling in his palm.

The five ghosts, including the water ghost that had already possessed Mayor Fang, couldn't help but retreat, their faces showing fear.

Thunder, the righteous path of heaven, is the nemesis of evil.

"All my spells can be used normally, but the Maoshan sect only uses martial arts... Could it be that they have lost their spells?"

"Or is it that I'm special enough to be unaffected?"

Thinking of all this, Chen Hengyi then asked the Five Ghosts, "How are you all feeling here?"

The fire demon, who was about to lie on the ground licking blood, looked up and said, "Of course it feels incredibly comfortable. Even my breathing feels stronger."

The other ghosts nodded in agreement and uttered similar words.

Chen Hengyi walked out of the underground palace, followed by the five ghosts.

"Boss, what should we do next?"

Chen Hengyi thought for a moment: "Water Ghost, compile a list for me, see who deserves to die, and where there are any demons."

"As for you..." Chen Hengyi glanced at the remaining four ghosts: "Go to Jiangjia Town and find the whereabouts of the five Maoshan people and the Zombie King... As for that Tang Long and his ilk, they are unimportant. Just kill them if you encounter them."

"By the way, take this as proof that you are not evil spirits."

As Chen Hengyi spoke, he took out his Chen Hengyi Seal, stamped a talisman on it, and then wrote and drew on it.

"If it's convenient, please invite them over."

"Yes, boss!"

Chen Hengyi stood in the night of Sanhe Town, the evening breeze lifting the hem of his robe.

The five ghosts obeyed and dispersed, leaving only the water ghost, disguised as Mayor Fang, bowing and scraping behind them.

"Don't worry, boss, the list will be delivered to you first thing tomorrow morning! I guarantee it will be handled perfectly!"

The water ghost's voice was obsequious, yet it sounded somewhat comical due to Mayor Fang's obese body.

Upon returning to the Fang family residence, Chen Hengyi went straight into the study.

The bookshelf was filled with ancient books and account books. He randomly picked one up and ran his fingertip along the yellowed pages.

The document records Mayor Fang's "achievements" over the years: forcibly collecting taxes and colluding with businessmen.

"This damn world is so annoying to look at."

"They deserved to die."

Chen Hengyi threw the account book back onto the bookshelf.

He walked to the window, pushed it open, and the cool moonlight streamed in.

The night market in Sanhe Town has long since disappeared, leaving only scattered lights flickering like will-o'-the-wisps.
