Big Sale of 'Yin Soldier Artifacts', Charging into the Land of Demons

"Sold so quickly?"

Li Yue opened his eyes, surprised.

He had only just closed his eyes to contemplate the divine art, Heavenly Thunder Art, and he hadn't expected this Yin Soldier Artifact to have already been sold.

Feeling the twenty strands of Divine Power added to his body, a gratified smile appeared on his face.

One transaction.

And he had gained ten extra strands of Divine Power!

This feeling was truly exhilarating.

Now he finally understood where those profiteers derived their pleasure.

No—

He was no profiteer.

He was performing good deeds and accumulating merit; he was striving and dedicating himself so that the Blue Star Deity under his command could possess greater strength.

"Continue!"

"I must continue to dedicate myself!"

Excitement surged in his heart, and he immediately began to cast the divine art, Yin Soldier Artifact, once again.

Although it took two hours to fully condense and form one Yin Soldier Artifact.

There were twelve hours in a day.

He could condense six Yin Soldier Artifacts.

If he sold them all, that would be a net profit of sixty strands of Divine Power.

Sixty strands of Divine Power a day, that meant one thousand eight hundred strands of Divine Power a month!

Of course—

He also understood that the Blue Star Deities willing to spend twenty strands of Divine Power to buy a Yin Soldier Artifact were likely not that numerous...

But every bit of Divine Power he could earn was worth it.

"Before I transmigrated, I was a beast of burden, working ten hours a day."

"Who would have thought that after transmigrating into a deity, I would actually have to work twenty-four hours a day?"

"Isn't this even more of a beast of burden than a beast of burden?"

This thought flashed through his mind, and his expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

However, being a beast of burden before transmigrating was to buy houses and cars for his boss.

Now, being a beast of burden was striving for himself!

How could the two be mentioned in the same breath!

About thirty miles away from Four Seas Village.

Here lay rolling, deep mountains.

Villages of various sizes were nestled within the deep forests, living lives almost completely isolated from the world.

It was not that they wanted to be isolated.

It was that every single village was the private property of a Demonic Creature!

And this region was known by the people of Cangmu Town as the Land of Demons, regarded as a forbidden zone.

"Temple Keeper, is our goal to rescue the villagers in this Land of Demons?"

Zhang Ronggui looked at Li Youming with some shock.

There were a large number of Demonic Creatures here!

This was a place regarded as a forbidden zone by the people of Cangmu Town!

"This area has many small Demonic Creatures, far inferior to the Wolf Demon of Thousand Wolf Mountain."

"And this village is ruled by a Fox Demon; the aura of that Fox Demon barely reaches the second rank."

"I can kill it."

Li Youming looked at the village ahead and spoke.

Slay the Demonic Creatures and bring back the villagers whom the Demonic Creatures regarded as food.

These villagers, who had suffered so much at the hands of Demonic Creatures, would surely be much more devout in their faith toward the deity!

This was something he had decided upon after many days of deliberation.

To fulfill the divine oracle passed down by Lord Zhangyue, he had to complete it beautifully.

He had to achieve it in terms of both the quantity and the quality of the Believers.

These villagers were living far more miserably than they had been before.

The Wolf Demons of Thousand Wolf Mountain would descend the mountain every three years to consume nine people, granting the Four Villages time to recover.

However, the Demonic Creatures here—

If they were in a bad mood, they would simply eat people.

Sometimes, when a fellow Demonic Creature visited, they would even take a few people to entertain their guest.

Not enough people left in their own village to eat?

It did not matter.

They would just go to the outside world and snatch some back.

"But I have heard that there is a Great Demonic Creature in this 'Land of Demons'..."

Zhang Ronggui remained very hesitant.

This was too risky!

After all, that was a Demonic Creature!

A terrifying, peerless Demonic Creature!

"So what if it is a Great Demonic Creature?"

"Behind us stands the Lord Zhangyue of boundless Divine Might."

"In the presence of Lord Zhangyue, if that Great Demonic Creature dares to jump out, it will surely be slain by Lord Zhangyue!"

Li Youming said fanatically.

Zhang Ronggui nodded immediately.

That was right.

Behind them stood an Orthodox God!

Li Xiuwu and Li Xiuling nodded repeatedly as well.

In the eyes of these two 'Grade A Believers', Lord Zhangyue was invincible in all the world!

"Let's go."

Li Youming took the lead, followed by Zhang Ronggui, Li Xiuwu, and Li Xiuling—three First-Order peak Martial Artists.

Behind them were twenty First-Order mid-level Martial Artists.

"Who are you?"

At the entrance of Fox Village.

Two burly men with green eyes stood guard; seeing Li Youming's large group, they showed no fear and shouted the question.

After all, they were the subordinates of Master Fox Demon.

What human had the guts to act against them?

In their eyes, were not all other humans merely food?

After all, when Master Fox Demon was in a good mood, he would bestow some meat upon them to eat.

"They act as lackeys for the demons; kill them."

Li Youming ordered indifferently.

During the month he spent waiting, he had not been idle.

He had already visited the 'Land of Demons' several times and had thoroughly investigated many matters regarding this region.

These lackeys of the Demonic Creatures were all monsters who devoured people without spitting out the bones, having committed every evil deed; they all deserved to die.

Swish—

Two Martial Artists stepped forward, their blades falling as they killed the two burly men, who died with expressions of disbelief.

Although they were lackeys of the Demonic Creatures, they had not become Martial Artists themselves.

Soon—

They arrived inside Fox Village.

Immediately, a dozen burly men with scarred faces and green eyes gathered around, grinning hideously:

"Where did these Two-Legged Sheep run from, delivering themselves to Master Fox Demon as snacks?"

"Break all their legs and lock them in the sheep pen!"

The leader waved his hand.

He was a Martial Artist, and he had two other Martial Artists under him.

In his view, dealing with a dozen people was a piece of cake.

"None of them deserve to be human."

"Kill them all."

Watching the group of men with glowing green eyes, Li Youming spoke in a cold, indifferent voice.

Those who consume their own kind will have their eyes turn green!

The more they eat, the greener their eyes become!

Swish, swish, swish—!

The blade light was as fast as lightning, and one by one, the sturdy men with green eyes were easily slaughtered.

Even the two First-Order Low-Level Martial Artists among them, and the First-Order Mid-Level Martial Artist who led them, were cut down in the blink of an eye.

Inside the surrounding crude wooden huts and thatched cottages, many disheveled villagers hid and peeked out.

Seeing those green-eyed men being killed, many shed tears of relief and vengeance.

They hated the Demonic Creatures.

They also hated these beasts who were willing to serve the Demonic Creatures and gorged themselves on the flesh and blood of their own kin!

"You should leave quickly."

"You have killed the Fox Demon's subordinates, and the Fox Demon will be here soon."

"By then, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."

A trembling old man pushed open the door of his thatched hut and spoke with sincere concern.

"That's right, brave warriors, please leave quickly."

"Do not end up like us, becoming Two-Legged Sheep raised by the Fox Demon."

Another old man also stepped out and spoke up.

Looking at the two old men, then at the other villagers secretly watching from their rooms, Li Youming said with a solemn expression:

"Fellow villagers! I am Li Youming, the Temple Keeper personally ordained by Lord Zhangyue, the Orthodox Land God of Four Seas Village!"

"I have come here specifically to slay the Fox Demon for all of you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the villagers of Fox Village who heard them erupted in an uproar, completely unable to believe it.

Slay the Fox Demon?

Such a terrifying and peerless Fox Demon—how could human strength possibly contend with it!

None of the Fox Village villagers believed him.

As for the Orthodox Land God that Li Youming mentioned, they simply assumed Li Youming was gilding his own lily.

"Leave quickly."

"The Fox Demon is coming soon."

The two old men urged anxiously.

"The Fox Demon is already here."

Li Youming looked ahead.

A gust of wind whipped up there, and amidst the gale, a Fox Demon over a zhang tall, its entire body blood-red and suffused with terrifying demonic aura, strode forward.

All the villagers were instantly terrified, hiding under their beds and shivering.

The two old men also collapsed to the ground, their faces deathly pale.

The Fox Demon had arrived!

With what had happened today, they feared that three or five more people would be snatched away to be eaten!
