American Comics: BOSS Invasion

"Where to? This way, please. The warehouse is just ahead."

Wang Daoling waved his hand grandly: "Officer Li, no need to worry. I am Wang Daoling of Maoshan, most skilled in subduing demons and eliminating evil, driving away ghosts and warding off evil spirits. How can silver vanish into thin air in such a heavily guarded warehouse? There must be a hidden reason! I don't even need to see it with my own eyes to know that there must be a demon causing trouble here!

Once I go and investigate, capture that little ghost, and interrogate it a bit, I'll be able to get the name of the mastermind behind it. At that time, Officer Li, you won't have to worry about your head!"

"Yes, yes, yes, may your words bring good fortune! I hope so."

The two swaggered past, and the heads of the onlookers moved in unison with them.

Only after they had walked far away did the teahouse become lively again.

"So Chief Li really went to find Wang Bansian (lit. 'Immortal Wang'), what's he thinking? Isn't this like seeking medical help in desperation?"

"It's good enough that a doctor is seeing you. Do you think this is a common cold? This is a terminal illness that will take your life!

The magistrate's guillotine has been hanging over Chief Li's neck. If there's even the slightest mistake, the first head to be chopped off will be Chief Li's. How can he not be anxious?"

"That's true, but this is too absurd!"

"Whether it's absurd or not, we can't say. Let's just wait and see the results. A case involving a full five thousand taels of silver, if it were hanging over your head, I think you'd be even more absurd than Chief Li. You'd not only have to invite Wang Bansian, but also the Fox Immortal, the Weasel Immortal, and Guan Gong and Qin Qiong!"

"Go, go, go! What do you kids know? These all have spirituality, don't joke about the great immortals!"

Inside the teahouse, the noise continued, with people expressing various opinions on the matter. The clamor was so loud that the storyteller was despondent. He simply stopped talking, crossed his legs, put his fan aside, and drank a large bowl of tea, gulping it down without thinking.

The gavel was useless, the opening poem was ineffective, storytelling couldn't attract people, and he couldn't shout loudly to avoid losing face. This business was getting harder and harder!

Now, let's talk about Wang Daoling. He claimed to be from the orthodox Maoshan sect, which was somewhat true. His cultivation techniques came from the orthodox Xuanmen sect.

In addition, his true form was a demon, capable of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, giving him a unique talent in術法 and cultivation. Therefore, after only a few hundred years of cultivation, he already possessed considerable power.

Many years ago, when he passed by Mount Qingcheng, he had seen Bai Suzhen and fallen in love at first sight.

Logically speaking, a toad would be terrified and unable to move when encountering a snake, but Wang Daoling was different. His identity as an orthodox Xuanmen cultivator gave him endless confidence, and he never believed that wild demons would dare to harm him.

He happened to see Bai Suzhen and fell for her at first sight. After his unsuccessful pursuit of love, he was severely humiliated, and thus held a grudge in his heart.

He was no match for her, and Bai Suzhen often stayed in the vast Mount Qingcheng, where the wilderness and forests were as vast as the sky. With her sincere avoidance, finding her was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

He thought he would never have a chance for revenge in this life, but unexpectedly heard the news of Bai Suzhen taking Xiaoqing down the mountain to repay kindness, so he went straight to Yu Hang County.

As for the token given to him by the Death God, and the so-called rules solemnly declared, Wang Daoling, although his attitude was very good and he agreed to everything, was actually just pretending.

In his opinion, although the aura on the Death God was strange, its essence still belonged to the category of Yin spirits.

Demons were naturally able to drive Yin spirits that had been cultivated, and could even awaken the method of raising ghosts without being taught.

Therefore, Wang Daoling had always regarded the Death God as Bai Suzhen's subordinate.

A few days ago, when he heard that the government's treasury silver had been stolen, he immediately thought of a good way.

So he used a trick, spent a little silver, and bought off all the young men in several nearby teahouses, instructing them to promote his name a lot recently.

It so happened that Li Gongfu had investigated the case for three days without any results, and was scolded by the anxious magistrate. He was feeling depressed when he entered this teahouse, and the subsequent events happened naturally.

Li Gongfu came to him for help, and Wang Daoling, who had intended this all along, did not hold back too much. After a slight hesitation, he nodded directly.

Using the power of the mortal government to deal with his enemies was the best way to chase them to the heavens with no way up and the earth with no way in, and finally they could only be obediently annihilated and die.

Just thinking about this scene gave Wang Daoling a sense of great revenge.

Entering the heavily guarded warehouse, heavily guarded with multiple gates.

Li Gongfu led Wang Daoling around inside, watching him chant words for a while and burn yellow paper for a while.

His calm expression gradually changed to shock, as if he had seen something amazing. Before Wang Daoling opened his mouth to speak, Li Gongfu couldn't help but ask: "Wang Bansian, how is it? Have you found out who the real culprit is?"

Wang Daoling shook his head and sighed: "As I expected, the Yin energy in this warehouse is strong, and the ghostly aura is dense, obviously there have been ghosts staying here for a long time.

It's just that these little ghosts are only doing the work, and behind them there is a real mastermind.

The person who can drive ghosts is either an evil cultivator, a demon monk, or a demon ghost king. There are many things involved, and once you get involved, I'm afraid your life will be in danger. Why doesn't Officer Li consider it again?"

Chief Li widened his eyes for a long time before sighing dejectedly: "There's nothing to consider anymore. Since the case has happened, it must be solved. No matter whether the perpetrator is a god or a ghost, a fairy or a demon, I must find out the truth!

"Since the chief is so determined, then I can't persuade him anymore. I have a stick of incense here that has been blessed by me with wonderful methods.

The chief can light it directly, and following the smoke, you can find the mastermind behind it!

Fortunately, you pursued in time and made a lot of noise. Although five thousand taels of treasury silver were stolen, there was no time to spend it, so I think most of it can be recovered!"

Hearing this, Chief Li's spirits lifted, and he quickly took the incense stick with both hands, bowing deeply: "Thank you for your guidance, Bansian. I don't ask for merit, but only for no fault. If I can really solve this case, Bansian, you will have saved my life!

Don't worry, I guarantee to make up for the silver!"

After saying that, without waiting for Wang Daoling to speak, he hurriedly ran out, calling his brothers to prepare to arrest people.

Wang Daoling watched their backs, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Now there's a show to watch!
