Evil Cultivator? Teach Them a Lesson!

Outside the factory, a young man heard screams and pleas for mercy coming from the workshop. His expression turned anxious as he said, "Brother Zhang, what do we do? These ghosts have started their evil deeds and are killing people!"

Upon arriving at the factory, the two discovered that the area was thick with ghostly energy, clearly indicating the presence of more than one ghost. Their strength wasn't particularly great, so they could only call for backup and secretly monitor the warehouse while awaiting reinforcements.

However, neither of them expected that shortly after calling for backup, screams and pleas for mercy would erupt from the workshop.

"Save them! Stall for time and wait for backup!" Brother Zhang's expression sharpened as he made an instant decision.

As members of the Demon Suppression Division, they couldn't stand by and watch ghosts commit evil. Even with limited strength, they had to buy as much time as possible. Once reinforcements arrived, these ghosts would be no threat.

Whoosh Whoosh

The two moved instantly and rushed towards the interior of the factory. By the time they neared the workshop where the screams originated, the screams and pleas for mercy had already vanished. The entire workshop became eerily quiet.

"Beasts!"

The two exchanged glances, their eyes filled with rage. Had these ghosts already hunted down the living so quickly?

Without any hesitation, they charged into the workshop. Inside, only two figures remained. One man exuded a chilling ghostly aura, while the other was clearly a living person.

"This..."

Seeing this scene, the two were visibly stunned. The screams and pleas for mercy just moments ago clearly came from more than one person, so why were there only one person and one ghost now?

The young man looked at Brother Chun, his voice icy and filled with killing intent, "Beast, you didn't even leave a complete corpse!"

It was clear that in the young man's eyes, Brother Chun had devoured the people whose screams and pleas they had heard earlier, leaving no bodies behind.

Whoosh

Before he could finish speaking, the young man moved and attacked Brother Chun.

Seeing this, Brother Chun hurriedly spoke to explain, "It's a misunderstanding! I didn't kill anyone!"

"Still dare to quibble? Die!" the young man roared. With a movement of his hand, a sharp longsword slashed towards Brother Chun.

Clang

But in the next moment, a figure blocked Brother Chun's path. With a flick of a finger, the longsword was knocked away. Who else could it be but Lin Chen?

"Hey~ Disturbing my ghost, shouldn't you at least say hello?" Lin Chen looked at the young man, his expression turning somewhat grim. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was from the Demon Suppression Division, he wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.

"Evil Cultivator, don't be arrogant! None of you will escape today!" the young man roared, swinging his sword at Lin Chen, as if intending to kill him on the spot.

Evil Cultivator?

Lin Chen's face darkened. He raised his hand and threw a punch, landing directly on the young man's chest. With a bang, the young man was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Lin Chen glanced at the young man on the ground, then looked at the middle-aged man not far away, his voice cold, "Can we talk properly? Who the hell is an Evil Cultivator!"

This guy not only wanted to snatch his Origin but also slandered him as an Evil Cultivator. Even Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed.

"I am Zhang Jing, from the Qingzhou Demon Suppression Division!" The middle-aged man glanced at the young man on the ground, and after confirming he was not seriously injured, he looked at Lin Chen and cupped his hands slightly, "May I ask who this senior is?"

"Lin Chen!" Lin Chen looked at Zhang Jing, then coldly added, "Your companion attacked me without understanding the situation and slandered me as an Evil Cultivator. This time, he deserves a lesson!"

The young man struggled to get up and was about to retort when Zhang Jing glared at him. "Senior is right. However, we don't know what's going on here. We heard screams and pleas for mercy just now."

Although Lin Chen was powerful, Zhang Jing knew they couldn't confront him directly. But if the other party was truly an Evil Cultivator manipulating ghosts to harm people, they would not let Lin Chen off, even at the cost of their lives.

"Screams and pleas for mercy?"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, his expression calm. "Those were sounds made by ghosts."

Ghosts?

Zhang Jing and the other man were stunned. If you're going to make up an excuse, at least make it a believable one. Ghosts screaming? Ghosts screaming amongst themselves?

"You don't believe me?" Seeing the expressions on Zhang Jing's face, Lin Chen knew they didn't believe him. He immediately activated his Blood Qi True Flame, and an incredibly powerful aura erupted from him.

"This is..."

Sensing the aura erupting from Lin Chen, Zhang Jing's expression changed, and he whispered, "A Rank 4 Cultivator?"

The aura Lin Chen unleashed was at least that of a Rank 4 Cultivator, possibly even stronger. If that were the case, it was indeed possible for him to make ghosts plead for mercy.

"How can your abilities be guessed by you? The ghosts of Old Dragon Mountain have all been dealt with by Master," Brother Chun said proudly. If one didn't know better, they'd think he was the one who dealt with the ghosts of Old Dragon Mountain!

"You really dealt with the ghosts of Old Dragon Mountain?" Zhang Jing asked incredulously.

"Otherwise?" Lin Chen glanced at Zhang Jing.

"Senior has great skill!" Zhang Jing exclaimed. With the strength Lin Chen displayed, if he were truly an Evil Cultivator, there would be no need for him to hold back against the young man, nor would he fear the two of them.

The fact that he didn't kill them, combined with the aura of Blood Qi True Flame and the residual traces within the workshop, suggested that the ghosts in the factory might indeed have been dealt with by him.

"Then this ghost..." the young man looked at Brother Chun.

Under the young man's gaze, Brother Chun hurriedly explained, "I'm Master's subordinate... ghost!"

"Not all ghosts are evil. For ghosts from the ghost-raising lineage, if they haven't committed evil, why would we exterminate them?" Lin Chen glanced at the young man and continued, "This fellow has abandoned the darkness and embraced the light. If he hadn't provided information, I wouldn't have been able to pinpoint the hiding place of this group of ghosts so accurately and eliminate them completely!"

Brother Chun was still useful to Lin Chen, and he didn't want him to die at the hands of the Demon Suppression Division. His ghost, even if he were to die, could only die by his hand!

Brother Chun's face was filled with gratitude. He knew he had followed a good big brother. Although he killed ghosts without blinking, he was truly good to his own ghost!

Seeing that Lin Chen had said so much, Zhang Jing and the other man had nothing more to say. After all, the ghost-raising lineage was an open secret, and the Demon Suppression Division didn't necessarily have to exterminate all ghosts!

"If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now." Lin Chen glanced at Zhang Jing and the other man, then seemed to recall something. "Oh, right. If there are any rewards, you can contact Xu Fei of the Qingzhou Demon Suppression Division and transfer the money to my account!"

After saying this, he took Brother Chun and left the workshop.

The young man watched Lin Chen leave, his brow furrowed. "Brother Zhang, are we just going to let them leave like that?"

"What else do you want? At least from the current perspective, the other party is indeed not an Evil Cultivator!" Zhang Jing said calmly.

If he were an Evil Cultivator, Zhang Jing wouldn't mind risking his life. But as it stood, it was highly likely that this was all a misunderstanding. Going to his death now would be foolish, wouldn't it?
