Roadside Encounter with an Old Acquaintance

"Since this little hell has fallen into my hands, there's no reason to give it up."

Lin Yan thought to himself, At its peak, there were a hundred thousand Lingering Souls, but now only a little over a hundred remain, guarding this empty hell...

He glanced outside and thought, There were three thousand Lingering Souls before. They've gone out into the world to plunder... But after fighting for a while, they'll still have to return here.

For one thing, guarding hell was their duty.

For another, prolonged warfare would inevitably wear them down. The myriad races of the world were not entirely powerless to fight back, and there were even Old Gods still alive... With the various Lingering Souls rampaging in all directions, some casualties were unavoidable.

But now that he had become the supreme commander of this little hell,

when the other Lingering Souls returned in the future, they would all fall into his net.

With that thought, he looked into the distance.

To the southwest, there was a demon king who raised humans as Blood Food.

He had already felt murderous intent toward it.

But after thinking it over, he realized that the main human forces of the present world had gathered at the Nanshan Sacred Land.

Even if he killed that demon king, he would not be able to protect those twenty thousand humans.

On the contrary, that demon king wanted a slow and steady supply of incense and planned to eat humans over the long term. It would protect the humans within its sphere of influence.

Lin Yan withdrew his gaze and summoned the hundred-odd Lingering Souls. Using the Military Formation of the "Heavenly Soldiers" from within the Sea of Divine Blood, he had them guard every part of hell.

This was not a military formation
