I just wanted to become an immortal and was forced to open a harem

"There are monsters!"

Throughout the cities and towns in the Dongdu Bay Area, screams and cries rang out everywhere, and blood splattered everywhere, as if the end of the world was coming.

Countless ordinary people fled in panic, but they could not escape the ferocious ghosts, and were eventually bitten and devoured by the evil spirits.

"Do not kill me--"

"Mom and Dad—"

"Help--"

For a time, the land was filled with grief and desperate cries for help.

……

When the three artifacts emitted the first wave of light, Lin Hezhen was keenly aware of the change.

As soon as his Nascent Soul moved, his consciousness swept through the area like a violent tornado, instantly clearing away all the evil spirits nearby.

"Kazuma, what happened?"

Hearing the noise, Yukino, who lived next door, knocked on his door.

Lin Hezhen opened the door and explained simply: "The mastermind behind the Zhenjing Jinjing finally took action. He directly broke the barrier between Yin and Yang, allowing evil spirits to attack ordinary people."

"But I have cleared away the evil spirits in this area. Just stay in my room and I will call Mai. It is protected by the magic circle I set up and the Smiling Cat. It is very safe."

"You guys stay here, I'm going to rush to the location of the mastermind immediately and end everything."

"No!" Yukino said firmly, "I want to fight too!"

"I have been practicing for a while and have mastered several spells in my natural bloodline, as well as a lot of knowledge that Kazuma taught me. Now, I am no longer the helpless person who could only wait for you to save me. A weak woman."

"Even if I can't get involved in Kazuma's battle with the mastermind, at least I can deal with those ordinary evil spirits and protect the innocent victims."

"She's right. I obviously have the ability to destroy evil spirits, but I stand by and watch innocent people being devoured by evil spirits. This is not what I would do."

"I want to fight too!" Mai Sakurajima came up from the stairs.

The two women stood side by side, their eyes burning with fighting intent, and their whole bodies released clear spiritual energy fluctuations.

Perhaps it's because they are both heroines of a certain small world. They are favored by heaven and earth, have strong luck, and have amazing cultivation talents.

They only practiced for a few months and developed combat effectiveness, which was more than enough to deal with the evil spirits that roamed the streets and attacked ordinary people everywhere.

Seeing the determined expressions on their faces, Lin Hezhen nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then I'll let the Laughing Cat follow you. Be careful to move together and don't get separated. The talisman I gave you is enough to defend against attacks at the Golden Core stage and below. It can also withstand for a quarter of an hour when encountering a Golden Core monk. If you are in danger, call me immediately through the talisman."

Mai nodded and said: "No problem, we will protect ourselves, and so will our senior brother. Please be careful."

"Well, I will."

The three of them said goodbye, and Yukino and Mai took the Unsmiling Cat and ran towards the people who were being chased by evil spirits.

"There are two more visible humans here!"

"So abundant spiritual energy, I want to eat them!"

The group of ghosts were attracted by the two of them, each with greedy eyes, like a pack of hungry wolves that seemed to be about to devour them all.

"If you underestimate me, you will be in serious trouble."

Sakurajima Mai calmly performed the Water Binding Technique, and the water balls created out of thin air immediately trapped the evil spirits inside, making them unable to break free.

"Freezing Technique!"

Yukinoshita Yukino followed closely and cast a spell, and in an instant, the water ball turned into cold ice.

The spells containing aura froze not only the actions of the evil ghosts, but also their virtual spirits, like living corpses that were put into the freezer.

Then, the figure of the Laughing Cat suddenly grew larger, filled with evil aura. It swung its claws and tore all the evil spirits into pieces along with the ice cubes.

It must be said that these two people and one cat worked together very well and harvested a large group of evil spirits without much effort.

Lin Hezhen was completely relieved when he saw them fighting.

He also contacted Kato Megumi, Shinomiya Kaguya, Hayasaka Ai, Yotsuya Miko and others through the jade talisman, and confirmed that they were protected by amulets and were safe.

He also called his aunt.

This arrogant woman was sleeping drunk and had no idea what was going on in the outside world.

With the various amulets given to her by Hayashi Kazuma, Murakami Maki was still very safe. She drunkenly chatted with her nephew and fell asleep again.

"Really, stupid people are blessed." Lin Hezhen shook his head.

He looked up at the place where the palace was.

There, the three artifacts were emitting circles of light, which looked particularly dazzling in the darkness.

"I thought the man behind the scenes controlled so many political figures in the island country and was preparing to launch a coup. I didn't expect that he directly blurred the boundaries between Yin and Yang and allowed evil spirits to attack ordinary people. Isn't he a lunatic?"

"To do such a defiant act, he is simply an enemy of the human race. These magic weapons fell into his hands and were used to harm others. It is really a waste of nature."

"Boss Yuanying is kind-hearted and doesn't want the magic weapon to be covered in dust, so let me teach you the correct use of the magic weapon."

After saying that, Lin Hezhen jumped up and climbed into the sky. His whole body turned into a ray of light and shot towards the palace.

……

On the other side, the group of people sent out by the emperor to launch a coup have taken control of the top brass of the defense force, cabinet members, and most of the members of Congress.

They were about to send someone to notify the emperor, but they were shocked to find a strange magic circle hovering over the palace, shining brightly in the night sky.

"This... these are the three artifacts! Why did the emperor sacrifice the three artifacts? This is different from what was practiced beforehand!"

Kunihiko Tsuchimikado, who also participated in the coup, was stunned.

"What needs the Emperor to use the three artifacts? Is the Emperor in danger?"

This group of political opportunists suddenly became nervous.

For them, the core of the coup was the royal family, and only the emperor could legitimately rule the country.

Without the emperor, 90% of their coup failed. Forget about glory and wealth, the whole family might have to go see the King of Hell.

"No, we must send troops to rescue him immediately!"

They quickly came to a conclusion, and then asked the controlled cabinet and defense force senior officials to dispatch the troops closest to Dongdu City to go to the palace.

At this time, a Tsuchimumen clan member hurriedly came to report.

"Clan leader, for some reason ordinary people in the city can see ghosts. Those evil spirits are hunting humans without any scruples. Dongdu City is in chaos!"

"Such a thing could happen?" Tsuchimikado Kunihiko was shocked.

They never expected that something like this would happen at the critical moment of the coup.

"Could it be that the news leaked out and someone knew about our plan and used it to stop us?"

"Impossible. If you want to stop our coup, the right thing to do is to send troops to arrest us. How can you release evil spirits to attack citizens indiscriminately?"

"Could it be that besides us, there is another force that is doing something secretly?"

Everyone was guessing.

Tsuchimikado Kunihiko frowned and said loudly: "Everyone, for this plan we must first ensure the personal safety of the Emperor, and then send all Onmyoji to eradicate the evil spirits and maintain order in the eastern city."

"But there are too many evil spirits. Our Onmyoji alone is simply not enough, and the physical attacks of ordinary armies are basically useless against spirits."

"Damn it, our family members are also in Dongdu City. I don't know what's going on right now."

Everyone was talking a lot, but they didn't discuss a feasible solution. Seeing time passing by, everyone was sweating profusely.

Finally, a middle-aged man who seemed to be in a high position let out a long sigh.

He said: "If it doesn't work, we can only ask the American troops stationed on the island for help. They have special spirit-killing troops equipped with magic firearms and magic bullets, which can effectively kill spirits."

The presence of US troops stationed on the island is a taboo in the hearts of every island nation.

As the defeated, they always hated and feared the American conquerors, but they had nothing to do, and their mentality was very complicated.

After a period of silence, everyone could only nod as if resigned to their fate.

"The current situation can only be like this. We are really powerless with our own strength. We hope that the US military stationed on the island can control the situation."

As a result, everyone quickly contacted the headquarters of the American military stationed on the island to discuss sending troops.

Chapter 217 Let the world be peaceful

Higashi City, Chiyoda Ward, Imperial Palace.

The Great Tengu, who had transformed into the emperor, stood on the roof of Jōgoden, laughing as he looked at Dongdu City reduced to a human hell.

"It's great, it's so interesting. Playing with the princes with beacon fire is nothing more than that, right? I can finally do whatever I want!"

Everything he did shattered the cognition of mankind in this country and even around the world.

The terrifying and destructive power of extraordinary power spreads at an unparalleled fission speed in this modern society with advanced information through social software, new media, the Internet, short videos...

Everyone watched in disbelief as their cherished common sense collapsed like a clay statue of a god.

The Great Tengu looked down at the plight of the people on the streets and was overjoyed.

He declared loudly: "Did you see it? In the face of absolutely unsolvable natural disasters and divine punishments, all human beings, regardless of high or low, men, women, old and young, are all equal!"

"Everyone, whether they are the Prime Minister or a homeless man, the rich second generation or a disabled beggar, are all ants, food for evil spirits, two-legged sheep!"

"I have brought you the fairness and equality you want. Come and cheer for the supreme and merciful monarch! Hahahaha!"

The Daitengu was filled with joy as he admired the "masterpiece" he had created.

When he was still human, he was always confused and self-loathed.

Why am I the product of incest?He obviously has the most noble status in the world, but he has been secretly being despised?

Why did his father ruthlessly force him to abdicate and deprive himself of the right to participate in politics?Could it be that the love he once had for her was all due to his acting skills?

Why did the samurai groups that had pledged allegiance to him in the past betray him one after another when he launched a coup?Is their loyalty so cheap?

Why was he not forgiven when he used his blood to copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for forgiveness after he was exiled?Is my existence so annoying?

……

An unfortunate life creates twisted monsters.

The Daitengu, the monster born from the resentment of Emperor Sutoku, came up with his own violent theory:

Because wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes and disputes. Human beings are creatures that will fight and kill each other as long as they live.

Then, the way to stop everyone from arguing is obvious - as long as people are dead, the world will be peaceful.

"The rapids hit the creek and rocks, but they have no choice but to separate into two sides. Water has a day to meet, and people have a day to meet again."

"People who are alive are hostile to each other and turn into ghosts after death. All the grudges and hatreds during life disappear, and they can naturally live in harmony."

"There is no need for me to do anything. People will die one after another. They will be ground into meat paste, minced into pulp, blasted into crumbs, eaten up, and die until they die!"

"After they die, they will turn into ghosts and hunt down other surviving humans until they turn the country into a world of ghosts."

“Only when all differences in class, identity, wealth, nobility, gender, race, country, ethnicity, culture, etc. are eliminated, can the world be truly peaceful!”

There is no doubt that this man, no, this demon has gone completely crazy.

He is not carrying out genocide, but is carrying out a human eradication plan.

"Good guy, you are more ruthless than Thanos! At most, they are trying to balance the multiverse. You want to replace the entire race of Blue Star and cause a natural disaster of the undead."

"Who is this person? How can he hide from my consciousness scan?"

The Great Tengu was startled and looked back.

Although the moon has sunk in the west, it looks more round.

A full moon seems to be hanging under the eaves of Changyu Palace, but people are already on the eaves.

A tall and straight young man stood facing the moonlight.

His face was covered with a soft silvery light by the bright moon, and his eyes were as bright as cold stars, deep and silent.

The cool moonlight shone on him, gently and faintly, like the fragrance of flowers in the wind and the mist in the morning.

He just stood there quietly, and there was an attraction that was hard to look away from.

"Lin, He, Zhen!"
