Chapter 110 Oh no, we've run into an honest official!

The horde of ghosts following behind the Spark continued their relentless pursuit.

Even more ghosts surged in from all directions, their pale white figures covering the sky and stretching as far as the eye could see.

According to preliminary estimates, the scale is as high as several million.

The paper figures desperately tried to intercept them from behind, their swords flashing with golden light as they swung them.

But there were so many spirits that they almost overwhelmed them.

Li Xin had no choice but to order the paper figures to be recalled and the defensive line to protect the satellite fire station on both sides.

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

A figure appeared from afar.

He wore a scarlet official robe, a black gauze hat, and a gold belt. He had a square face, three long wisps of beard, and piercing eyes.

This was actually a city god.

"It's your human civilization again?" he said coldly. "You previously wreaked havoc on the entire underworld, committing heinous crimes. And now you dare to come again? I will surely execute you on the spot!"

For him, Li Xin directly revealed 1000 sinister potatoes.

The city god glanced at him in surprise, his anger intensifying.

"Absurd! I am the City God of Fengdu, a fifth-rank official in the underworld, personally bestowed with my official seal by King Yama, and in charge of this region's water and soil..."

"They protect the people of this region. How could they accept such a bribe?"

Li Xin paused for a moment, then tentatively spoke.

"Shall I add some more?"

The City God froze, his face instantly turning dark, and even his beard trembled with anger.

"You bastard! Do you think I'm complaining about the amount?" He suddenly waved his sleeve, and his aura surged.

Li Xin's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, we've actually run into an honest official this time!

He was too lazy to waste any more words and directly revealed the Tiger Crouching Cannon loaded with coffin nails.

The coffin nails had previously accumulated the karmic retribution of over 8 Yin spirits, and with the Yin spirits that the Starfire is constantly slaughtering and chasing, the number has now exceeded 10.

The City God was also surprised that Li Xin possessed such a deadly weapon, and his expression changed instantly.

"Why would a mere coffin nail cause such a strong karmic retribution?"

But soon, instead of getting angry, he laughed.

"So what if you suffer karmic retribution? I have served diligently in Fengdu for hundreds of years, never daring to slack off in the slightest. The good deeds I have accumulated are more than enough to bear your karmic retribution!"

"Even if it destroys all my cultivation and magical power, I will still maintain order in Fengdu and protect the people of this region!"

Li Xin felt a chill run down his spine.

This was the first time he had ever encountered such an upright, honest, and selfless treacherous official.

Soon, he had a flash of inspiration.

Under the astonished gaze of the City God, Li Xin moved the cannon muzzle away and aimed it directly at the relentless army of ghostly spirits pursuing them from behind.

"You..." He stretched out his finger, his whole body trembling in astonishment.

As the City God, he could withstand the coffin nail, but those wandering spirits could not bear it at all.

They are merely the weakest beings in the underworld, lacking any magical power or cultivation.

With one nail driven into the coffin, those million souls will likely be reduced to ashes!

Li Xin had accurately predicted that the other party was a good official who loved the people like his own children, which is why he made such a threat.

The City God fell silent. After a long while, he raised his head and let out a long sigh.

"Fine, fine, I'll let you off this time."

As he turned to leave, he added quietly.

"Your human civilization committed too many atrocities last time, and you will have to pay the price sooner or later."

After the City God left, the vengeful spirits behind him pursued him more and more closely.

Li Xin couldn't actually use coffin nails to bombard them, because if he did, the City God would come back.

Just as he was suffering from a terrible headache, a strange noise suddenly came from the sky.

It wasn't the sound of thunder or wind, but a fine, dense rustling sound.

Looking up, Li Xin saw an unbelievable scene in the sky.

Thousands of paper money floated down from the sky, scattering into the underworld.

The ghosts that had been chasing the paper money stopped abruptly, their expressions turning to glee, and they began to scramble for it.

The frenzy instantly shattered, and the millions of spirits were thrown into chaos, scrambling and pushing each other.

Not only that, even the ghosts in the streets and buildings rushed over and joined the money-grabbing frenzy.

In an instant, the entire Fengdu became extremely chaotic, with shouts, cries, and fighting all mixed together, and no matter how the ghost messengers scolded and whipped them, it was to no avail.

"Qingming Festival, it's Qingming Festival!" Chen Zhu said excitedly to Li Xin.

During the Qingming Festival, families sweep tombs and pay respects to their ancestors, burning paper money, lighting incense and candles, and offering sacrifices to mourn their deceased relatives.

The paper money they burn will go to the underworld for the dead to use.

In a sense, this can be considered "payday".

Chen Caiwei raised a finger to Li Xin, her face serious.

"Sir, we have one day to give up."

On Qingming Festival, millions of ghosts will go crazy in their scramble for paper money, plunging the entire Fengdu into chaos.

The city god, judges, and ghostly soldiers in the city would all be distracted in order to maintain order.

"Therefore, we must seize this rare opportunity to take action."

As she spoke, Chen Caiwei mimicked Li Xin's manner and tentatively uttered that sentence.

"Operate, search, and withdraw once you're done!"

Li Xin nodded.

"Okay, then let's speed things up."

The Spark continued its journey through Fengdu, where paper money was flying everywhere. At this moment, no ghosts cared about it at all; everyone was busy grabbing money.

Some ghosts were overjoyed to have snatched the money, waving it around and showing it off. Others, seeing the few bills burned by their descendants, were furious, beating their chests and stamping their feet, cursing them for being unfilial. Still others, having their money stolen, squatted in the street, wailing and crying, their cries extremely eerie.

During this time, Li Xin also noticed something very interesting.

Not all ghosts have people burning money for them.

Many of these spirits have essentially died out; nobody remembers them, let alone burns money on them.

But they can steal other people's money.

Therefore, Fengdu was filled with signs of utter chaos.

The spirits pushed and shoved each other, grabbing and scrambling, and eventually they even started fighting.

Even more outrageous is that many ghost messengers, ghost generals, ghost soldiers, and even the City God have joined in.

They abused their official power to oppress the spirits and extort money from them in various ways.

These underworld beings acted brazenly and naturally, showing no remorse or unease whatsoever. Some even directly asked for money.

This scene left Li Xin deeply moved. It seemed that the customs of the underworld were not very effective!

During this time, he also inadvertently noticed someone.

That was the City God who had blocked our way earlier.

He stood on the street corner, watching his colleagues scramble for paper money, even resorting to physical force to suppress the spirits. His face turned ashen, and his lips trembled with rage.

"A dignified official of the underworld, receiving a salary from the underworld and offerings from the people, yet he has committed such despicable acts!"

He stomped his feet and shook his head repeatedly, his face full of heartache and indignation.

"What an outrageous display! What an outrageous display!"
