The Otherworldly God

Jimen Pass is the first line of defense against demons. Le Zheng is stationed here under the order of God. It seems to be a glorious mission, but it is actually a punishment for Le Zheng, because Le Zheng's ancestor was a minion of the demons and a traitor in the battle between gods and demons.

As soon as it gets dark, Jimen Pass will close all the gates and will not allow anyone not involved in the patrol to wander around the streets, let alone outside the city.

The South Gate faces the Jimen Plain, and at the end of it is the demon clan who are always thinking of regaining control of the Central Plains.

The evil spirit emitted by the demons was like a chronic poison to the Taoists, not to mention the people in the city. Those people who were willing to live with Le Zheng were the driving force for Le Zheng to persist, but also their shackles.

During the day, the one-time formation barrier plus the barrier that has been applied to the entire Jimen Pass are enough to block the invasion of evil spirits. At night, someone must constantly cast spells to maintain the formation barrier, which is a huge drain on Le Zheng.

Gradually, Le Zheng began to pursue power. The higher the Taoist's qualifications, the more valued he was, and the lower the Taoist's qualifications, the lower his status in Le Zheng. The situation did not improve until the former head of the family, Le Zhenghe, took over.

However, this approach made many Lezheng Taoists dissatisfied, thinking that it was a wrong way to destroy Lezheng. Lezhenghe still rejected the opposition and prepared to change the rules of Lezheng.

One day, an incident occurred that caused two Le Zheng disciples to go missing, and years of searching were fruitless.

Finally one day, news came that the last place the two were seen was near Heilin, so Le Zhenghe decided to go and look for them in person, and never returned since then.

Two months later, the wife of the head of the household also disappeared. Some people said that she ran into the black forest to look for her husband.

As the saying goes: A country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and a family cannot be without a master for a day, so he asked Le Zhenghe's junior brother Le Zhengqin to take over. At that time, he said: "I don't believe that my senior brother has died. It's only been three months. I am willing to take over this position until my senior brother returns, and he will be the head of Le Zheng's family."

Therefore, Le Zheng Qin became the acting head of the family of Le Zheng, and Le Zhenghe's new policy ended before it even began, so now Le Zheng's prejudice against qualifications still exists, which is one of the reasons why Le Zheng Yuhua was bullied unscrupulously.

He knew that if he returned to Jimen Pass and Lezheng, he would be bullied again and no one in Lezheng would stand by him. But he had no choice but to live on as Lezheng Yuhua and make a name for himself.

Le Zheng Yuhua looked at his hands and felt very strange. It turned out that his master's thoughts were taking over him little by little, but he would not forget his original intention.

"Look, there's a figure over there."

The gatekeeper disciple on the city wall looked in the direction of Le Zheng Yuhua, and saw a ragged figure slowly walking towards Jimen Pass with a glowing object beside him.

"Is it a demon?"

"No, that's a green-yellow light. Is it a demon?"

"The relationship between the demon race and our human race has always been good, and I, Le Zheng, have no hatred or grudge against them. How could the demon race do this?"

"We are Taoists, no hatred or resentment. Le Zheng's hands are more or less stained with demon blood, and they are demons, cunning and deceitful. There are tens of thousands of demons in the world, and the Demon Emperor can't control them all, otherwise there wouldn't be so many scattered demons wreaking havoc in the human world. Look at that light, it's demonic energy. When have you ever seen demonic energy of this color? I'm afraid it's not a good thing."

"Then what do we do?"

"Go and ask the master to come. Everyone else, follow me. We will strike first and focus on using fire."

"Yes."

Several people attacked Le Zheng Yuhua. Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky and fireballs flew towards Le Zheng Yuhua.

Le Zheng Yuhua had just walked a long way back from the lower reaches of the river and was already exhausted, but his years of military experience made him act faster than he thought, and he successfully avoided all the fireballs.

He covered his chest, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"This body...is almost reaching its limit."

There were some fireballs burning around him, and he couldn't even breathe deeply.

"cough cough"

Le Zheng Yuhua coughed twice and buried his nose in his arms.

"Qingguo, follow me closely."

Le Zheng Yuhua planned to rush to the city gate in one breath. He pounded his chest, exhaled, and recovered a little. Then he used all his strength to rush to the city gate in one breath. Except for slight skin burns, he finally survived.

Just as he was thinking this, his head turned red, and Le Zheng Yuhua knew that he definitely couldn't escape.

I saw a golden light forming a barrier to protect him, and the person holding up the golden barrier was Qingguo.

"Green fruit?"

Only then did he remember that he was also a Taoist and should know some Taoist techniques. However, he no longer had the opportunity to use them. He simply felt his body sink and he passed out.

Before losing consciousness, Le Zheng Yuhua heard a girl shouting, "Please stop attacking, he is Le Zheng Yuhua."

"Yuhua?"

There were discussions on the city wall, and the most common voices were doubts, believing that this was a trick played by the demon clan.

Each gate must be equipped with at least one master-level figure, except for the South Gate which must have at least two, all of whom have the right to command all on-duty personnel on the spot.

There was only one master on duty at the North Gate tonight, his name was Le Zhengbo, and he was a very strict master. He was resting in the house on the city gate, so he quickly arrived at the scene, and they were already attacking.

He did not stop them, nor did he join the attack, but watched from the sidelines. Because behind him was Jimen Pass, with thousands of civilians and Lezheng people, and behind him were the demons who were eyeing him covetously, he had to be extremely cautious.

After roughly confirming it, he ordered everyone to stop and without allowing them to question, then jumped off the city wall.

He first used magic to control Qingguo, and then confirmed that the person who fainted on the ground was Le Zheng Yuhua. Then he waved his hand to signal them to open the city gate.

He bent down to pick up Le Yuhua, but when he saw the Heavenly Sword beside him, he just frowned slightly, picked it up and put it in Le Zheng Yuhua's arms, put his hand on it, and picked up Le Zheng Yuhua together.

He thought of Qing Guo and asked, "Are you a demon?"

Qingguo knew he was asking her, but even Qingguo didn't know which tribe she belonged to.

"I don't know, I don't know anything except the name."

Le Zhengbo was not sure of her identity, so he asked her. Seeing her appearance and her actions to protect Le Zheng Yuhua, coupled with his confidence in Le Zheng, Le Zhengbo chose to trust her temporarily and released the spell for her.

"The human race will more or less reject those who are different from them. You'd better remember this."

"Ah."

As soon as the city gate opened, Le Zhengbo walked in holding Le Zheng Yuhua. Qingguo followed him carefully, always paying attention to other people.

"I will report what happened tonight, and no one is allowed to make irresponsible comments."

"But Master Bo..."

"If she intends to do anything harmful, I will kill her before she does anything."

Le Zhengbo's words seemed to be a reminder to them, and the guards who knew his temper well did not dare to say another word.

Knowing that the human race was prejudiced against him, Qingguo found an opportunity to hide in Le Zheng Yuhua's body.
