Chapter 438: Kill You, Do You Need a Reason?

"Your family's Tang Imperial Attendant?"

Lü Tu seemed to have thought of something, his face full of sarcasm, and said:

"When this Lion Ridge Mountain God appeared, he slipped away while we weren't watching. You just now had the nerve to say he has no thoughts about the child Ping'an. If he truly had no thoughts, how could he have fled?"

There was a matter of a newly appointed Mountain God at Shizi Ling; it was when De Ben appeared, he found De Ben acting very oddly, and using the Dharma Eye he examined carefully, discovering De Ben's identity as the Lion Ridge Mountain God.

Before that.

He had heard about the previous Mountain God of Shizi Ling being harmed by monsters, his soul scattered, and even Shizi Ling being occupied by monsters; although he is a Thousand Commander of the Demon‑Suppression Office of Fengyin County, Qingyang County falls under his jurisdiction.

Only that.

He has no way to deal with the monsters occupying Shizi Ling!

Although their Demon‑Suppression Office handles slaying demons, not every monster must be killed.

Within Daxia, besides wild monsters, there are many monster races, even monsters that claim mountains as their kingdoms.

As long as these monsters do not harm Daxia's common folk, the Demon‑Suppression Office has no authority to act.

The monsters occupying Shizi Ling are harming the Shizi Ling Mountain God, but have not yet harmed the surrounding populace.

Even if he learns of it, after the occupying monsters have harmed the Shizi Ling Mountain God, they obtain the Mountain God Token of Shizi Ling and intend to refine it to become the Shizi Ling Mountain God.

Become an evil god!

He still cannot resolve the monsters occupying Shizi Ling!

After all, the Shizi Ling Mountain God belongs to the Underworld's deities, has a cooperative relationship with Daxia but is not under Daxia's jurisdiction; their Demon‑Suppression Office is a Daxia organization, with no reason to champion officials of the Underworld.

This matter falls under the Immortal Official of Qingyang County, yet the Immortal Official of Qingyang County is indifferent, so he naturally cannot intervene in the Immortal Official's affairs.

Never imagined…

After a hundred years, Shizi Ling finally welcomed a Mountain God again, but not the monster that had once harmed the previous Mountain God and obtained the Mountain God Token; instead it is a new Mountain God, who has even received a divine appointment from the Underworld, belonging to the legitimate line, and can obtain the Mountain God Token that had been snatched by monsters for a hundred years.

He developed a strong curiosity about De Ben; for over a hundred years, the Underworld had always turned a deaf ear to the death of the previous Mountain God of Shizi Ling, so how could it inexplicably grant De Ben a divine appointment?

He is very curious what miraculous qualities De Ben possesses that could make the Underworld do such a thing.

Therefore.

Even if he discovers that Tang Anzhi slipped away from here, he does not pay much attention.

"Lv Qianhu, look at how you speak, Tang Imperial Attendant has been at my residence for so many years, and has also served many years as the Immortal Official of Qingyang County; I still trust his character. Of course, I am not blaming Yu Baihu; Yu Baihu also means well!"

Wei Yuan's expression hardened; he wanted to embellish and speak ill of Tang Anzhi, but before Tang Anzhi had given him the two bottles of Sanyang Pill, he dared not speak badly of Tang Anzhi, and he defended again:

"Tang Imperial Attendant this time left without notice, perhaps something important; but Lv Qianhu, since you don't believe, why don't you leave together and see whether Tang Imperial Attendant is going to do something bad?"

He worries that Tang Anzhi, leaving without notice, sneaking away while he wasn't watching, might be unwilling to give him the two bottles of Sanyang Pill?

"Bad thing?"

Lü Tu seemed to have thought of something, his face full of amusement, and said: "I actually hope he has the courage to do something bad!"

Wei Yuan was first startled, then realized that Lü Tu's words meant he wanted to use Tang Anzhi's misdeed to show off, and sneered: "Lv Qianhu, rest assured, Tang Imperial Attendant was at least an Immortal Official before, he wouldn't do bad things!"

Deep within Shizi Ling, in an uninhabited corner.

Tang Anzhi almost used all his strength, slipping away from the Zhang Family while everyone was distracted, his eyes constantly scanning behind, confirming no one pursued, then he exhaled in relief, leaning against a large tree, panting heavily, and shouted:

"Yu Die, you scoundrel, I respect that you are a Hundred‑Household of the Demon‑Suppression Office from the Capital City, we've never had a conflict, yet you treat me like this. Wait, don't give me a chance, otherwise…"

In Tang Anzhi's mind, Yu Die's image suddenly flashed; whether in figure or looks, she was top‑notch.

All these years, not only the brothels of Qingyang County but also those of Fengyin County, he has visited many, experiencing one courtesan after another, yet none could surpass Yu Die.

His face and eyes were filled with unmistakable lust!

"If you fall into my hands, see how I will kill you!"

Tang Anzhi snorted coldly, using great willpower to dispel Yu Die's image from his mind, then thought of Wang Ping'an—more precisely, the life‑saving talisman hanging around Wang Ping'an's neck, and frowned:

"How could such a precious treasure as the Substitute Scarecrow end up in that little mongrel's hands?"

But fine, once I kill that little mongrel, seize the Substitute Scarecrow, I can also use that mongrel's corpse to ingratiate myself with the Prime Minister's Daughter.

As long as I can enter the Prime Minister's residence, it would be countless times better than serving as a sacrificial offering to the dog official Wei Yuan!

"Who do you intend to kill?"

=9+book_bar

A cold voice rang in his mind; Tang Anzhi was first stunned, then recovered, his complexion turning pale, he looked up and saw a Paper Person not far away, and panicked:

"Who are you? I consider that I have never offended you; why do you want to harm me?"

While speaking, Tang Anzhi immediately activated the Nine Tripod Scripture; a large cauldron gradually formed before him, and in an instant, sword apparatus resembling swimming dragons emerged around him, and he couldn't help but feel a hint of relief.

Just now.

When he was healing, he almost used up all the pills he carried, just enough to restore his depleted Qi, and at that time he was still somewhat hesitant, after all the pills are not cheap.

Fortunately.

At that moment, when his hesitation began, the mysterious figure flashed in his mind, and he stubbornly used all the pills.

Never expected…

That worry actually came true!

The mysterious person's lingering spirit still appeared before him, ready to strike.

"Kill you, need a reason?"

Wang Ping'an sneered.

"Good, good, good—good one, kill me, no reason needed!"

Tang Anzhi snarled, glaring at Wang Ping'an, and two large cauldrons formed, a spray of refined blood spurted onto three great cauldrons, making the three cauldrons seem alive; keeping one cauldron as a shield, he commanded the other two to attack Wang Ping'an, saying:

"Just now I was careless, fell into your trap, this is a disaster in the gutter, do you really think you can kill me?"
