I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

It seemed that the Holy Emperor did not know the reason either.

Ziye said that it was the appearance of an Underworld. It should be true, but it seemed that nobody else knew why it appeared.

What was happening in the Underworld? Why were the ghosts being let out? Was no one managing them?

Li Nianfan looked at his extremely terrifying surroundings. They were way more interesting than horror films. He could not help crying out to himself. He saw so much more and gained so much more experience!

The Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu were like the two most loyal bodyguards, guarding him by his side. Any ghosts who tried to approach him would be instantly killed.

Meanwhile, the mist in front of them shook vigorously. Two figures appeared out of nowhere.

The two figures walked without a sound, emitting grey smoke around them. Each of them had a big knife around their waist. Most importantly, the word ‘ghost’ was printed on their robes.

Although they were entangled with Dead Qi, they were different from the other spirits. Their bodies were more solid.

One could instantly tell that they were different from the rest.

Nanan’s eyes sparkled. “Dragin, quick! These two are different!”

“How arrogant, they even printed it on their robes. Are they afraid that the others can’t tell they’re ghosts? Don’t snatch from me, each of us gets one!” Dragin was excited. She ran toward them with her short legs. She rubbed her hands to produce a big water ball that she was ready to throw at them anytime.

Watching the two children rushing toward them, the two ghosts were stunned.

‘What just happened? The kids want to kill us?’

Dong!

Their faces sank as they unbuckled their knives from their waists in unison.

Li Nianfan watched with his scalp itching. He said loudly, “Dragin, Nanan, stop what you’re doing right away!”

He hastily instructed the Fire Phoenix to approach them.

These two wild kids! They did not know the limit of the sky! How unsettling!

‘Judging by their attires, they were most likely the Oni from the Underworld. Can they even fight them? Will I still be able to bribe them after death?

‘I can’t offend this kind of existence at all! If not, how am I supposed to bribe them when I die?’

Seeing that someone was approaching them on a Fire Phoenix, the two Oni’s faces turned pale. They staggered two steps backward. “Don’t come close to us!”

This was the Fire Phoenix. If he kept approaching them, they would instantly die!

Li Nianfan said in a friendly tone, “Are you two working for the Underworld?”

One of the two Onis replied, “Yes, that’s right. May I know your name? Are you an Immortal of the Immortal Land?”

“I’m Li Nianfan. I’m no Immortal. I’m merely an ordinary and insignificant nobody.”

Li Nianfan halted. Then, he said apologetically, “Sir, the two kids are ignorant. They mistook you for the other spirits. Sorry for the trouble, please, don’t take it to heart.”

“Nanan, Dragin, hurry up and apologize to the two Onis.”

Dragin and Nanan stuck out their tongues. “Oh, sorry.”

The two Onis nodded. They did not dare to offend them.

After sizing up Li Nianfan, they could not see through him at all. He gave out a clear sense of an ordinary man.

However, this was exactly why they had to be even more cautious.

A bigshot. A true bigshot!

‘You’re riding a phoenix, and you call yourself an ordinary man? Are you insulting the intelligence of us Onis?’

They remained calm on the surface. They made a gesture and said, “Greetings to Mr. Li, nice to meet you.”

Li Nianfan asked, “May I ask you two, did you come here for the ghosts?”

One of the two Onis answered, “Indeed, the ghosts came to the ordinary realm by accident. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough staff. They could only send the two of us here to maintain order.”

Li Nianfan asked, “How did the ghosts get out?”

The two Onis exchanged a look and they both shook their heads at the same time. “We have no idea.”

LI Nianfan could tell that they were either too afraid to tell him or they did not want to tell him.

After all, they would not spread embarrassing things about themselves. It was likely that someone messed up in the Underworld. It was normal.

“Mr. Li.”

One of them hesitated and said, “In the center of the Dead Qi, the Ghost Door is open. A few Immortals had gone over, but we would like to beg for Mr. Li’s help.”

“You all want the phoenix to step in, right?” Li Nianfan smiled and said, “I probably know the Immortals there. I should go and have a look.”

It must have been Ziye and the rest.

The two Onis were delighted. They said hastily, “Thank you, Mr. Li!”

Li Nianfan made a gesture and said, “I’m afraid I’ll need the two of you to take care of this village.”

The two Onis said right away, “It’s our duty.”

Li Nianfan was rather curious. He said, “Immortal Phoenix, why don’t we go in and have a look?”

After a pause, he added on, “Let’s have a look first. If they’re fighting, then it’s better to stay out of it than to get involved.”

“Yes, I’ll listen to Mr. Li.” The Fire Phoenix nodded and turned into a flame, rushing toward the mist.

The deeper it went, the thicker the mist was. It was followed by darkness. There was some eerie wind surrounding them. Luckily, he had a Fire Phoenix who acted as his natural heater. If not, Li Nianfan would not be able to get in here.

Gradually, there was a light source coming from the front. The howling wind became more urgent. It was apparent that someone was battling.

Further in, the shape of a gigantic figure gradually appeared.

Looking like a small mountain, the Qi exuded from this figure was so shocking.

Ding-dong!

It was followed by a series of smashing sounds.

It was a giant meatball. It seemed as if it was made up of fats and there was no skin around it. The fats were dripping in layers. Furthermore, the body was filled with boils, extremely terrifying.

Upon getting closer, Li Nianfan’s pupils dilated. These were not boils around the meatball, they were skeletons and spirits. They were all growling with their mouths open!

Furthermore, on the body of the meatball, bloody red lines were interlacing one another as if forming a meridian. The lines were very close to one another.

Around the meatball, there were three figures. Each of them was grasping onto black iron chords that were as thick as half an arm. They were tying up the meatball between them. On top of the meatball, some grey smoke was entangled around it, struggling with the meatball and shaking vigorously.

Other than the three figures, there was also an Oni dressed in black armor. He held a knife in his hand. It was flashing with a bloody red glow as he chopped the meatball.

Roar!

A roar came from the meatball as its ghost moaned eerily. The gigantic meatball was expanding from the middle. Almost half of its body consisted of mouths. Sharp fangs and Dead Qi were coming out from the mouths, extremely scary!

Dragin could not help covering her mouth. She said with disgust, “What an ugly monster!”

Daji could not help saying, “Mr. Li, we might attract attention if we get any closer.”

Li Nianfan nodded, “Yeah, let’s observe from here.”

“Mr. Li, you all came!”

A delighted voice came from his side. It was Ziye and the rest.

Li Nianfan smiled and said, “Ha-ha-ha, yeah. We came here out of curiosity, you all are…”

Ziye winked at Li Nianfan and said, “Same as Mr. Li. We’re silently observing from the side for now.”

Li Nianfan instantly felt speechless.

As expected, the bigshots were different!

They would hide in the dark to watch the others fight. They were probably waiting for the rest to wear out, or would only step in if the situation worsened.

Perhaps this was the amusement of the bigshots.

Meanwhile, the grey smoke was spreading outward slowly, blending into the darkness.

The Ghost Door was open and there were one too many ghosts rushing out wildly. Even the surroundings were affected. Hundreds of ghosts were swimming around.

Most of these ghosts were not too powerful, but they were high in quantity. They were in a wild and fierce state, unafraid of any being while they swam around with no arms and launching themselves at any living being.

The originally calm Fallen Immortal Mountain suddenly had a strange gust of wind.

The plants and flowers were shaking as ghosts started to appear.

Click! Click! Click!

“Stop scaring me! Are you done yet!” The Black Bear Demon growled and crushed the skeleton appearing from the ground into dust.

However, another skeleton gradually appeared not far away. Click! Click! Click!

The Black Bear Demon frowned. “What’s this? The skeletons here can revive?”

The Green Python Demon stuck its tongue out, squirting the spirits swimming around it away with water. “I’m not sure. I feel like they’re related to these spirits.”

The Wild Boar Demon speculated, “Ghosts possessing their bodies? Don’t care, hurry and kill them! We don’t know when the Demon King and the expert will be coming home but we must clear them out first!”

Click!

The door of the four-part architecture busted open.

Xiao Bai looked around, its eyes glaring red.

“I noticed there’s a lot of rubbish around. Cleaner Xiao Bai’s now online. Entering cleaning mode.”

Along with a mechanical sound, Xiao Bai’s two palms shrank, turning into two empty holes.

Below its feet, wheels appeared.

As the wheels moved, it made a sound and shot outward.

It whizzed along the mountain paths as if walking on a flat surface. As it moved around with both its arms facing the sky, the two holes acted like vacuums, making a sizzling sound.

Wherever it passed, the surrounding ghosts were sucked into the machine like water…
