I, the transmigrated villain, please wait, gentle master.

Chapter 14 The Laws of the Underworld, the Talisman Arrives and is Carried Out

A person who has lost both arms cannot maintain their balance, falls to the ground and rolls around wildly, screaming madly.

"What are you yelling about? What are you shouting for! My head is about to explode!"

"You've only lost two arms, but we're almost deafened from all your shouting!"

"Shut up, everyone, shut up!"

"..."

With a "pop," the whole world fell silent.

Everyone retreated, dumbfounded as they stared at the man with the severed arm who had suddenly exploded and died in front of the door.

"This, this, this, this..."

This is how the same thing?

A living person who was screaming in pain just moments ago has instantly turned into a pool of blood and gore.

The pungent, fishy smell permeated the small noodle shop, assaulting everyone's nasal passages.

"Noisy."

An old, frail voice came from the corner.

Li Tingyun turned around and looked back. Sure enough, it was the noodle-pulling master who had been busy outside the noodle shop earlier.

He must be the owner of this shop.

As he reached out towards the bloody mess on the ground in front of the door, his hand slowly closed, and a cluster of raging karmic flames illuminated the pale faces of everyone present.

The flames shot out like snakes, heading straight for the source of the bloody stench. They instantly engulfed the mangled corpse, leaving no trace of smoke or ash. After the flames died down, the ground was clean.

A living person was disposed of like trash without leaving a trace.

Even the soul didn't have time to leave the body before it was burned to ashes along with the physical body.

Li Tingyun couldn't help but sigh, thinking to himself: There are quite a few ruthless people in this godforsaken place.

This method of killing, which eliminates both the person and their soul with a single click, is even more ruthless than the original villain. He slaughtered the entire Lingxi Village, and at least the hundred or so souls who died violently and could not return to the underworld were intact, and some even had the opportunity to be redeemed.

He suddenly felt the sleeve of the person next to him move slightly, and at the same time, prompted by his intuition, he decisively pressed down on Mei Shiyu's hand holding the sword.

"Master, I think it would be best if we held back for the time being."

Mei Shiyu pondered quietly and said, "Now... there are still two hours until midnight."

If the troublemakers here continue for too long, and time runs out, he will consider destroying the barrier directly, even though doing so could lead to the destruction of the entire Eternal Town.

Thinking of this, he put his arm around the boy's shoulder, pushed him through the crowd, and led him to a corner where there was no one sitting at the table and chairs.

After the master and apprentice sat down, they waited to see what would happen. Unexpectedly, another person squeezed out of the crowd of onlookers and walked towards the secluded spot that the two had chosen.

Looking at the man's stubble-covered face and fierce expression, Li Tingyun thought to himself: What a small world.

Why isn't it the same man who started the trouble before?

The man chose to sit opposite Li Tingyun, his fierce glint lessening considerably, and his tone softening considerably.

"My surname is Wang, and my given name is Wu. May I ask how you two should address me?"

Mei Shiyu: "Zhang San."

Li Tingyun: "Li Si."

Wang Wu: "..."

He was completely honest: "No, my real name is Wang Wu!"

Li Tingyun said slowly, "Who doesn't actually have the surname Li..."

Mei Shiyu cut to the chase: "What advice do you have for me, brother?"

"Seeing, seeing instruction... well, let's forget about that. Brother Zhang, you and I are both cultivators, and we've even fought once. I know my own limitations; I'm definitely no match for you. So what's the point of talking about 'seeing instruction'?"

Wang Wu scratched the back of his head, revealing the simple and honest look of a kind-hearted man.

Perhaps it was his rough and unkempt appearance that gave people a bad first impression, coupled with his irritable temper and easy anger, which made his overall image quite poor.

Li Tingyun couldn't equate him with an "honest person" yet; at most, he would admit that he had been beaten into submission. Naturally, he wouldn't give such a person a friendly look.

He snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "His initial arrogance followed by his obsequiousness is laughable."

"What?"

Wang Wu rubbed his beard. "What do you mean by that?"

Li Tingyun misinterpreted it, saying, "It means you're very humorous."

"Hey!"

Wang Wu clenched his right fist and slammed it into his left palm, making a "smack" sound. He chuckled and said, "My godson praised me like that too! Coincidentally, he's about your age!"

Li Tingyun: "..."

Careless.

So careless.

He had never lost a verbal battle with Wang Laoliu, yet he carelessly lost Jingzhou to Wang Laowu.

He'd be someone's godson for free.

Li Tingyun crossed her arms, turned her face away, and felt suffocated.

Mei Shiyu couldn't help but chuckle at his own antics, where he had hunted geese repeatedly only to have one of them peck at his eye.

Wang Wu watched the two of them laughing and joking, finding their interactions quite amusing.

Just like with his newly adopted godson, they chatted and laughed, in an unconventional way.

Like, it’s so similar!

So he asked, "What is the relationship between you two? Could it be that this young friend Li Si is also your godson, Brother Zhang San?"

Li Tingyun slammed his hand on the table. "That's enough! Stop him from making up these nonsense about recognizing his father!"

"This is my master, I don't have a father!"

"Oh, I see."

Wang Wu sighed and said, "I didn't expect that you, young friend, had such a tragic background, quite similar to my godson. Both of you lost your fathers at a young age."

Extending his own empathy, he said, "The so-called 'master' is 'a teacher for a day, a father for life.' I'm sure your master must care for you and look after you like a biological father. The bond between you two is so deep that even I, an outsider, can see it. So, young friend, you don't need to be sad about not having a father all the time..."

As he spoke, he got even more animated: "Actually, whether you have a father or not doesn't matter. I've seen too many fathers in this world who abandon their wives and children, sell their daughters for personal gain, they're worse than animals. In this life, it's so much better to meet a mentor who guides you later in life than to be born with a father of terrible character, isn't it?"

Li Tingyun hardened his fist and turned to look at Mei Shiyu: "Master, is there any magic that can sew his mouth shut?!"

“Brother Wang,” Mei Shiyu interrupted Wang Wu, saying, “Brother, you are kind and eloquent, but you should also be mindful of your words. Even if you are an acquaintance, it is not good to talk too much about family matters, let alone since we are strangers who have never met. It is better not to talk too much.”

Wang Wu rubbed his beard again, secretly grumbling to himself.

Is he really that talkative? Why does his godson say that about him too?

Originally, he thought it was because his eldest son was dull-witted that his talkativeness and quick tongue came out in comparison.

He coughed twice and said apologetically, "Actually... I'm a reserved person."

Li Tingyun didn't believe him at all. "Ha, if that's the case, then I'm an autistic person."

Mei Shiyu thought the two were about to start another round of verbal sparring and was about to stop them when a long howl came, foreshadowing a sudden change.

A captivating sound echoed throughout the entire town of Eternal Calamity:

"A spirit has escaped from the underworld and returned to the mortal realm. The judge has now determined that this little devil is hiding in Eternal Calamity Town!"

"The gatekeeper of Eternal Calamity Town has ordered that within the time limit of one incense stick, all personnel inside the barrier must conduct self-inspection and mutual inspection. Those who expose wrongdoing will be granted one-time passage through the Gates of Hell, while those who conceal or cover up such activities will be severely punished."

"If there is no result after one incense stick's time, the gatekeeper will personally search for the deceased from house to house and hand them over to the Black and White Impermanence for disposal."

"Anyone who shares a room with this brat will be implicated in the crime of concealing and protecting him!"

"The barrier will transform into karmic fire, incinerating the bodies and souls of the sinners, preventing them from entering the cycle of reincarnation!"

"The decrees of the underworld are hereby obeyed!"
