Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

"You have obtained a new title under the Hermit Series:"

"Grey Mist Candle."

"Effect: The Death World cannot strip your lifespan, and the world cannot perceive you."

"This is the initial title for all Hermit Sequence Loaders,"

Wu Xiaode looked at the small line of words and mused,

"Lady Sarina, I have a small request."

"What is it?"

"I have two capable subordinates, one named Big Banana, and the other named Violent Fang. I would like to have them back," Wu Xiaode said.

"That's easy," Sarina replied.

She stood still, arms crossed.

Wu Xiaode understood her meaning and smiled, "I believe you've noticed that I've awakened a Death Side ability."

"Because I have Death Side power, I was able to pick up that card."

Sarina realized, "I suspected as much, but I never expected it to be under such conditions."

She pondered for a moment and continued, "Abilities from the Death Side are very rare. I need to find the 'Mimic' Sequence to see if I can simulate a Death Ability to trick the card."

As soon as she finished speaking,

she stepped directly into the Void and disappeared.

In the next moment,

Big Banana and Violent Fang appeared directly in front of Wu Xiaode.

—The transaction between the parties was completed.

"Boss,"

the two said excitedly in unison.

Judging by their looks, they had just joined the "Hermit" sequence.

Wu Xiaode motioned for them to stand firmly on the skull beneath them and avoid falling into the oil pot.

"We've escaped Jiuyao, but if we want to become stronger, we need to keep working hard."

He grinned.

"We'll do whatever the boss orders!" they said.

Wu Xiaode directly utilized the power of the "Netherworld Inspector" to summon the two as subordinates.

A dim yellow aura quietly appeared around Big Banana and Violent Fang.

This meant recognition from the Netherworld.

"Boss, what should we do?" Big Banana asked.

Wu Xiaode naturally knew the job duties of an "Inspector" and, after pondering for a while, explained,

"Well… do you know city enforcement?"

"City enforcement? What's that?" Violent Fang asked.

"Never mind, just go for a stroll, and if you encounter any uncomfortable situations, you'll get a prompt and just follow the prompt's instructions," Wu Xiaode said.

"A stroll? That I understand," Big Banana said.

"The more issues we deal with, the more benefits the boss gets, right?" Violent Fang asked.

"Exactly," Wu Xiaode said.

—That's why I have to quickly summon subordinates, making things more efficient and my official rank rising faster.

"Violent Fang, you patrol east, I'll go west, and we'll each cover one direction, returning here in 5 hours," Big Banana said.

"Good idea!" Violent Fang said.

The two jumped out of the oil pot and walked out into the gray wilderness.

Wu Xiaode watched them go and disappear into the vast dark mist, falling into contemplation.

With Sarina's and other sequences' methods, they will surely obtain a "Two Worlds People" card.

—However, they might end up on the wrong path.

Because when the "Two Worlds People" card first asked him whether it was dangerous now.

If it is dangerous, then choose to:

"Become a Two Realms Official awakened with Death Skill, making it impossible for people to know the reason you obtained this card, but you can exercise your Divine Position in secret."

Yes.

Let Sarina find a way to get a Death Skill, whether it's real or fake.

The Pangu Card Set has long been prepared for this.

What I need to do is quickly improve my rank and complete the Evil Spirit Tasks on the Wall of Collective Wishes!

Wu Xiaode stepped on the skull, and with a light leap, he jumped out of the oil pot.

He chose another direction to patrol.

After walking for a while, it became increasingly cold in front of him.

Wu Xiaode looked up and saw a vast ice plain.

Ice covered the earth.

One could even say—

The entire plain was made of ice.

Various undead were frozen in the ice, only their heads sticking out, covered with frost, forced to endure it.

This must be the Cold Ice Hell.

After walking a while, Wu Xiaode suddenly saw a flickering light ahead.

This was a hint that there was an issue.

He stepped forward to see a pair of feet sticking out from the ice.

"Is this frozen upside down? Correct it," he said.

As soon as he finished, the power from his rank took effect.

The undead immediately turned around, head up, feet down.

"Thank you, sir. I've been frozen in here for seven or eight days, having to stare at others' behinds. Now I can finally face up," the undead said, repeatedly voicing gratitude.

"No need to thank me, just keep freezing there. We'll chat again when I have time," Wu Xiaode said.

"Okay, sir."

"Hmm."

Wu Xiaode nodded at it in greeting and continued walking forward.

——This correction increased Yin Virtue by 1 point.

It seems one must still be diligent and responsible.

As he walked and observed, he suddenly felt something was amiss.

A glimmering spot of light kept moving around the entire ice plain, as if indicating that there was something here needing correction.

Wu Xiaode pondered for a few breaths, then suddenly snapped his fingers.

He had actually already seen the problem.

On this ice plain, some places had a dense gathering of heads, while others were sparse, with heaps on the left, clusters on the right, and only a few in the middle.

After walking a bit further, the left side became densely packed, while the right side had only a handful of people.

It really looked unsightly.

The key issue was that it wasn't orderly!

Wu Xiaode's compulsive disorder suddenly acted up, and he muttered to himself:

"With so many heads, let's arrange them in a Ba Gua formation to see."

As soon as he spoke, his official power was activated.

All the heads on the ice immediately separated on their own and swiftly arranged themselves, soon forming a massive Ba Gua pattern.

Simple, beautiful, and elegant!

The key was that these heads outwardly formed a Ba Gua, but if they all started singing together, they would become a choir.

Because of the order, the voices of these dead gathered together, not sounding so chaotic.

——Yin Virtue increased by 1 point once more.

Only then was Wu Xiaode satisfied and continued to walk forward.

After crossing the ice plain, ahead was an extraordinarily gigantic deep pit, nearly a thousand meters wide.

The pit was crowded with people, crying and shouting, trying to escape.

In the center of the pit lay a gigantic devil with three heads: one demon, one beast, and one serpent.

Such a terrifying monster lay in the pit, occasionally opening its mouth to devour the surrounding dead.

Whenever it did so, all the dead scattered in fear.

But the pit was too steep, and they were unable to climb out.

Devouring Hell.

Here, the dead were eaten by the devil, feeling pain and torment.

Once sins are full, they may emerge.

Wu Xiaode watched for a while, feeling that everything was in orderly, with nothing much needing his intervention.

"Hey!"

He shouted at the giant devil, "Is there anything you want to report?"

"Scram!" the giant devil roared.

Wu Xiaode was unfazed and said, "I am a government representative, specifically here to understand the people's conditions and help solve your problems, so please let me know if there are any issues."

What a joke!

Who would oppose Yin Virtue?

For the sake of Yin Virtue, we practical folks wouldn't mind being scolded or criticized by the masses.

The devil coldly replied, "Get lost, you trash rookie. This is my feeding ground; you better avoid this place on patrol, or I'll take you out."

"Wow, sounds impressive." Wu Xiaode nodded, about to leave, but hesitated.

——In the deep pit, there was a spot of light flickering continuously.

A group of people was gathered there, holding money and cards, chatting and laughing.

Judging by their demeanor, they didn't seem worried about their situation at all.

Tsk.

Let's have a look!

Wu Xiaode leaped lightly, instantly landing at the spot where the light flickered without stop.

"Ladies and gentlemen, gambling gatherings are not allowed in the Netherworld; all gambling tools and chips are confiscated and turned over to the public."

Wu Xiaode declared.

As soon as he spoke, the cards and gold coins in their hands all disappeared.

"Are you in charge of this area?"

A dead soul curiously asked.

"Indeed," Wu Xiaode replied.

"You took away our things, this might not be so good," the person grinned and said.

"Why?" Wu Xiaode asked.

Another person patted his shoulder and said, "Because this place runs according to its rules; we paid it off for protection yet received none—looks like you'll have to sacrifice a bit."

Wu Xiaode looked in the direction pointed by the gambling den.

He saw the giant devil glaring at him, its fierce and sharp claws already reaching for him.

Suddenly, a mutation occurred—

In that instant, the two heads of the devil opened their mouths and tore off the snake head and devoured it, then the beast head bit off the demon head in one gulp.

"Well done."

Wu Xiaode reached out into the void and gently pressed down.

In the sky, a giant dark fist descended, instantly crushing the remaining head of the devil flat onto the ground with one punch.

Wu Xiaode smiled, the dark evil thoughts emanating from him slowly dissipating into a straight line.

"Swap in a new devil, and don't tolerate bribery anymore."

"By the way," he patted the shoulder of the person just now, "these friends haven't been devoured for a while, which could delay their rebirth, so I suggest feeding them two hundred times first."

After he finished speaking, the devil's corpse vanished.

A new devil appeared in the deep pit, nodding repeatedly and said, "You are correct, I'll start working right away."

In screams and wails, those people were grabbed up and fed into the devil's mouth.

Blood splattered.

Wu Xiaode glanced at the Evil Spirit Book.

Yin Virtue increased by another point.

Big Banana and Violent Fang also gained quite a bit of Yin Virtue.

——The official position can be almost promoted!
