"Looking at the unfamiliar male demon before him, Ye Yu's expression grew extremely strange."
"Well, to be honest, he wasn't unfamiliar with the demon realm."
"He had seen many kinds of demons."
"But a demon like this, who came sliding on his knees, full of righteousness, was truly a first."
"For a moment, there was no flaw to pick."
"This really left Ye Yu at a loss."
"Is your heart only filled with justice?"
Facing Ye Yu's probing question, the male demon began nodding wildly."
"His eyes were filled with determination, as if he embodied justice itself."
"Little did anyone know, his appearance and inner world were completely opposite extremes."
"At this very moment, his inner world was already flooded with tears."
"My name is Lu Linian, a demon who just recently reached the Ascension Realm. Perhaps across the entire demon realm, I am the so-called 'Little Karami,' unworthy even to tie the shoes of the great demons."
"But here on the remote Wanxuan Mountain, where demonic energy is scarce, I, Lu Linian, am purely the unrivaled sovereign."
"I originally planned to live a carefree life as the happy mountain king forever."
"But fate did not comply. Our second and third leaders of Wanxuan Mountain went out on business."
"But they never came back for a long time."
"After extensive inquiry, I learned they passed through the Huagu Mountain Range on the way back."
"Because of their race, the second leader, the weasel, often farted, and the smell was unbearable."
"It was his nature and unchangeable."
"But because he let out a fart in the air over Huagu Mountain, it happened to blow down a leaf."
"And Ye Yu saw it."
"He was immediately accused of environmental destruction and instantly executed."
"The third leader was so scared he shivered all over, hurriedly explaining that he would never fart, and begged this demon friend to treat him as if he had farted."
"Undoubtedly, this was a cowardly admission."
"And having said this much, couldn’t Ye Yu just let him go?"
"But Ye Yu didn’t let the third ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) leader go, the reason being his mouth was full of filthy language, which would corrupt the young demons, so he must be killed!"
"So, the third leader died!"
"When I learned my right and left arms had been so humiliated and killed, my heart was filled with rage."
"And that very night, I swore under the bright moon, if this grievance is not avenged, then I, Lu Linian, am unworthy of being demon king!"
"As a determined deer demon with full execution power, by the next morning, I had already arrived at Huagu Mountain Range."
"Before I could even look for that justice-flag-waving killer Ye Yu, I saw a gathering of over ten demons."
"After a simple inquiry, I learned they were all demons who came to avenge Ye Yu."
"All because their friends and family were killed passing through Huagu Mountain."
"And all on fabricated charges!"
"This united the demons in hatred, declaring that today they would surely kill Ye Yu and remove this scourge from the demon realm!"
"Seeing this, I was very happy."
"Obviously, Ye Yu had already angered the masses."
"Then let's unite many demons to kill him together!"
"Just as we prepared to act together, as if sensing a surge of demonic power, we turned our heads."
"There stood a handsome man, cultivation at only the Ascension Realm, fiercely pounding a demon immortal!"
"Yes, an Ascension Realm man beating a demon immortal."
"If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I absolutely would not believe such a thing could happen."
"But now it really had."
"Someone said that Ascension Realm man was Ye Yu."
"Under our watchful eyes, in just ten breaths, a demon immortal was slain on the spot."
"Seeing this scene, my ambitions completely vanished."
"Honestly, even if I were forced to death, I could never defeat a demon immortal."
"So compared to that, naturally, I could never be Ye Yu’s opponent."
"After realizing this, I immediately turned and ran, as if making a determined decision."
"Later, I safely returned to Wanxuan Mountain, but heard that the slower demons that day were all killed."
"This news of barely surviving nearly shattered my courage."
"To calm myself, every night I numbed myself with demon wine and prayed daily, hoping never to see Ye Yu again."
"Yet fate is unpredictable."
"Sometimes, the person you least want to see appears in front of you by coincidence."
"No one can stop it."
"For example, now, I, Lu Linian, was drinking well when I heard a noise and looked outside."
"Hey, guess what?"
"It was really Ye Yu coming over."
"At that moment, the wine’s effect wore off instantly, but I still did not want to die."
"So I could only slide on my knees to show submission, recognizing Ye Yu the great demon as the representative of justice."
"Maybe the other young demons saw only my cowardice, but they never imagined how much effort I put in just to survive!"
"Hopefully it will work!"
"Lu Linian remained uneasy in his heart."
"But as the saying goes, where there’s a will, there’s a way!"
"Ye Yu really set aside his murderous intent; after all, a wise man adapts to the times."
"These years, demons as conspicuous as this deer demon before him were rare."
"Keeping such a small character might come in handy!"
"Ye Yu took a step forward, closing the distance with Lu Linian, looking down and said, 'Justice is not something to be spoken lightly!'"
"'Are you willing to carry justice through to the end with me?'"
"Lu Linian seemed to see a lifeline, nodding wildly again."
"'Yes, I am willing!'"
"Upon receiving the definite answer, Ye Yu went straight into the blessed cave realm and issued Lu Linian his first task."
"Starting from Wanxuan Mountain as the origin, search within a radius of ten thousand miles for demons who have committed heinous crimes; the more vicious, the better."
"If—if there really are no vicious demons, then pick out the ugly ones."
"Ugly equals evil!"
"This is the first thing you do for justice; work hard!"
"Lu Linian immediately accepted the task and strode out."
"But the moment he stepped out of the blessed cave realm, his legs involuntarily knelt down."
"Fear spread throughout his body."
"No choice; the pressure before Ye Yu was too great."
"But it seemed Ye Yu had no murderous intent for now."
"And he even entrusted a task, so it seemed he wouldn’t die for the time being."
"However, where to find so many vicious demons was a headache."
"But Lu Linian had no courage to refuse and had to grit his teeth and start searching!"
"Hopefully these vicious fiends don’t hide too deep!"
