Even when he had protected everyone and kept them from losing their lives, there were always people criticizing and complaining – lamenting about the damage to their homes, the broken courtyard walls, and so on during the fights.

“You are indeed useless; I’ve observed everything you’ve been through these days.”

Feng Qing’an’s indifferent gaze shifted. He looked at the young man standing before him – initially not having high expectations of him. However, seeing all that the young man had undergone, there was a certain sense of pity for his misfortune and frustration from his pretense.

Feng Qing’an was well aware of humanity’s baseness; greed was almost instinctual, and if one was continuously favored, they would soon take it for granted.

Just like the young man who was protecting the town, initially, he was appreciated. Yet all it took was a month. Despite him constantly risking his life to fight against demons.

Yet, everything he did was considered a given, treated as normal by the commoners he was protecting. Some even made ridiculous demands that made one want to laugh.

“Immortal, do you also believe I’m not doing well enough?”

Hearing Feng Qing’an’s voice, a sense of gloom washed over the young man. Throughout these days, he had been trying his best, but he had never expected that even the Immortal who encouraged him to save the world didn’t appreciate his efforts.

“Do you know where you’ve gone wrong?”

“I …”

Just as the young man began to speak, thoughtful look on his face, Feng Qing’an interrupted him, pointing straight at him.

“See, this is your biggest problem.”

“My biggest problem?”

The cluelessness on the young man’s face was apparent, he still hadn’t comprehended what was going wrong.

“You’re constantly reflecting on yourself, never blaming others!”

Feng Qing’an’s voice resonated like a thunderclap, exploding right beside Cheng Ping’s ears.

“Your biggest mistake is that you’re always appeasing those insatiable commoners. Have you never thought about what’s wrong with their actions?”

Upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s query, the young man froze.

“Human desire is endless, an insatiable abyss. If you want to become the sacred king I mentioned, not only must you provide benevolent governance, you also need to establish an awe-inspiring presence. Only when mercy and power are both present and balanced will you be able to meet my demand.

Right now, to those commoners, you show only benevolence without dignity, which is why they’ve become more demanding, making irrational requests, even denying all that you’ve done so far. For these commoners, you should punish them with thunderous measures. Strict laws are needed in chaotic times!”

Feng Qing’an’s words was a huge tolling bell, sounding strongly in the young man’s mind, making him reminisce about all the grievances and pain he had endured in the past.

He committed himself to the bloody battles against the demons, but after he defeated them, a woman ran out accusing him of damaging her roof.

As a child born into a poor family, Cheng Ping always thought he was the one who was in the wrong because he knew the hardships of a poor family and how difficult it was to even have a brick or tile.

But now, under Feng Qing’an’s scolding, he abruptly realized. Why should he reflect on his wrongs? He was clearly saving lives. Compared to a human life, what did these bricks and mud walls count for?

“Immortal, I understand!”

The sullen-faced young man who initially wanted to escape, picked himself back up from the ground.

“What have you understood?” freewēbnoveℓ.com

“Instead of blaming myself, I need to learn to blame others!”

The young man’s eyes are clear, free from desolation. His spoken words even made Feng Qing’an burst into laughter,

“Well done! Well done! The young man is teachable!”

“You know what you have to do now, don’t you?”

“I do.”

The young man stood upright with unwavering eyes, just as a flurry of panicked voices came from outside of the house.

“Cheng Ping, this is bad! A weasel that has attained magical abilities has invaded the village and taken a child up onto a roof beam. Hurry and go or else the child will be eaten by the magical creature, leaving nothing but bones.”

“If you’re saying you received some enlightenment, go and prove it. Show me how much you’ve understood from my words. Go!”

Feng Qing’an waved his hand, for the first time showing a hint of expectation in his eyes. No matter what this youth might do, he had confidence in being able to correct any errors, molding him into what Feng Qing’an envisioned.

“You won’t be disappointed!”

The youth got up, with fire spawning beneath his feet. Dazzling and molten-like spirit marks gradually spread over his entire face. The youth, who originally was just under six feet tall, became engulfed in fierce flames and transformed into a massive black demon over nine feet tall, his body burning like wildfire.

“Where’s the demon?”

As the demon stepped out of the hall, he saw a robust man in armor holding a water-fire stick. This man, upon seeing the demon, showed no signs of panic. Instead, he simply turned and began to lead the way for the demon.

“Follow me.”

The man’s tone didn’t show much respect, even though he knew this demon could as easily crush him as if killing a fledgling. In his view, this imposing, fierce-looking demon wouldn’t do such a thing.

“Tell me where it is, you’re too slow!”

The demon didn’t proceed as before. At this moment, he felt liberated, as if everything was changing rapidly before his eyes.

The pressure that had built up on him, making him feel suffocated, had disappeared and was no longer existent.

“It’s at the Limestone Square!”

The man glanced at the demon who hadn’t caught up with him yet and paused. Although he found it strange, the urgency of the situation forced him to indicate the direction, watching as the demon leapt up, trailing a string of fire behind him from the ground.

“What the…”

The man only realized something was wrong when he saw the shallow pit blasted by the demon’s takeoff.

Lately, this demon, in his battles with other demons, had been exceptionally careful about everything in the village. How could he be so reckless today?

Boom–

The thud of his landing was accompanied by an explosion of fire, followed by the panicked cries of livestock. When the homeowners stumbled out, they saw the daunting figure of the demon soaring low in the sky.

“Damn you, Cheng Ping! Are you out of your mind? You think you can just wallop your way through here!?”

A woman holding a shovel shouted at the demon’s fiery trail. She looked towards the demon’s figure without a hint of fear and began cursing at him.

Whoosh~

The demon, engulfed by flames, landed on a roof from the sky and turned to glare at the woman, his eyes glowing like molten metal.

The powerful evil aura he exuded made the woman pause as fear unintentionally surfaced in her eyes. She couldn’t help but shudder a little.

When facing a force powerful enough to kill them, the bodily reactions of these simple spirits couldn’t hide the truth, no matter what they were thinking.

“Cheng…Cheng Ping, what do you want to do?”

The woman took a step back, falling onto the ground, her face turning pale with fear.

But the demon merely glanced at her and turned to rush towards where he sensed the Demon Qi. This time, he didn’t hesitate at all – he charged down the street, shattered walls, and demolished houses, all in the pursuit of the demon.

Compared to the irreplaceable life of a child, what could a few damaged objects matter?

The youth had made everything clear.

Thus, accompanied by continual reprimands and curses, the demon, body wrapped in raging flames, eventually found a yellow weasel as large as a calf.

“Put down the child!”

The demon, staring at the child clamped in the weasel’s mouth, became furious. His fists clenched, his punch unleashed, and the evil, fiery aura roared like an angry dragon.
