My Cultivation Prowess Peaks after I Buried the Great Emperor's Corpse

I am the Executioner

Hah.

This is going to be a good show!

When they heard Chen Taiji suggest that Lin Wudao supervise the execution of the Old Red Moon Demon, the Deputy Governors and the various Lords all revealed gloating expressions.

At the same time, they looked at Lin Wudao with sympathy and pity.

There must be a reason why none of them were willing to supervise the Old Red Moon Demon. Lin Wudao was new here. He was undoubtedly the best scapegoat.

Everyone present knew what Chen Taiji was thinking.

Although he was a direct superior of the Demon Hunter Hall, he had always been eyeing the Lord of the Demon Hunter Hall position. Chen Taiji initially planned to let his younger brother, Chen Chunqiu, succeed in the post.

However, the Governor, Zhao Xuanxiao, appointed Lin Wudao, and this caused all of his plans to fail.

For this reason, Chen Taiji already hated Lin Wudao in his heart!

This time, he wanted to kill Lin Wudao through the Old Red Moon Demon.

After all, they all knew that as the old demon of the Netherworld Devil Sect, the Old Red Moon Demon had a strong foundation. So naturally, therefore, it would be challenging to kill him.

It was tough because the Demon Subduing Division had received the news that the Netherworld Devil Sect had sent people to rescue Old Red Moon Demon!

Once it was announced that he would be publicly executed, people would be coming to raid the execution ground!

At that time, if the Old Red Moon Demon escaped, Lin Wudao, as the executioner, would be unable to dodge punishment. Then, Lin Wudao could be eliminated.

Moreover, if the Netherworld Devil Sect were more powerful, they might even kill Lin Wudao on the spot.

Chen Taiji’s plan was vicious.

Lin Wudao, who had just arrived, was still in the dark about all this.

However, from the looks of pity from the people present, he knew that Chen Taiji did not have good intentions.

“Governor Chen, it’s Lin Wudao’s first day in the Demon Subduing Division, and he’s still unfamiliar with the situation. So I think it’s better to find an experienced man to take charge of the execution of the Old Red Moon Demon. Especially since the Old Red Moon Demon is difficult to deal with.”

Li Bingtian’s low voice sounded.

Due to various considerations, he did not want Lin Wudao to be the scapegoat.

However, Chen Taiji was not going to accept it!

“Governor Li, since Lin Wudao isn’t familiar with the situation, he needs to integrate into the Demon Subduing Division as soon as possible. As a Lord, how can he be worthy of the position if he doesn’t even dare to execute a demon? ”

“How can such a piece of trash stay in the Demon Subduing Division?”

“I believe that since Lord Lin is the Governor’s personal choice and the son of the previous lord, he would not back down and embarrass his father.”

Chen Taiji’s face was full of determination!

From the looks of it, it seemed that Lin Wudao would be the executioner.

Li Bingtian’s eyes turned gloomy, but he did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Lin Wudao, who had been silent all this time.

“What do you think, Brother Lin?”

“I’m willing to be an executioner of the Old Red Moon Demon!”

A calm voice sounded.

Lin Wudao’s expression was as calm as ever throughout the dialogue.

What?

Looking at his indifferent appearance, everyone was amazed. They did not know where he got the courage.

“Since you’ve agreed to it, then so be it!”

“Pass down my order. Tomorrow at noon, at Tianyuan Ancient City Square, we will publicly execute Old Red Moon Demon.”

Li Bingtian gave Lin Wudao a deep look, then turned around and left.

After he left, the other Deputy Governors and Lords also left.

However, they looked at Lin Wudao with more pity.

Lin Wudao did not take it to heart as he turned around and walked out of the Tianyuan Palace.

...

“Lord Lin, the Governor has ordered that you live in the Star Seizer Courtyard on Lingyun Peak. Shall I take you there now? Or do you want to walk around the Demon Subduing Division?”

Yun Jianfei came up to him and said respectfully.

“Let’s go to the Star Seizer Courtyard first!”

“Alright!”

Yun Jianfei led Lin Wudao and Han Qingshan to the Star Seizer Courtyard on Lingyun Peak under everyone’s strange gazes.

When they arrived at the Star Seizer Courtyard, Yun Jianfei did not leave. Instead, he looked at Lin Wudao, wanting to say something, but hesitated.

“What do you want to say?”

Lin Wudao took a sip of tea in the courtyard and asked indifferently.

“Lord Lin, I heard that you will act as an executioner tomorrow to execute the Old Red Moon Demon.”

“That’s right!”

“Master Lin, you’ve been tricked!”

Yun Jianfei let out a heavy sigh.

His words made Lin Wudao frown.

...

“Why?”

“Master Lin, the executioner is a trap. The Demon Subduing Division has received the news that the Netherworld Devil Sect has sent masters to rescue Old Red Moon Demon.”

“If he’s executed tomorrow, the Netherworld Devil Sect will come to raid the execution ground!”

“Once they seize Old Red Moon Demon, the blame will land on you, Lord Lin. At that time, Chen Taiji will have enough reason to kick you out of your position.”

“After all, he’s been eyeing the position of the Lord of the Demon Hunter Hall for a long time. He was ready to help his brother Chen Chunqiu ascend the position, but because of the Governor, he didn’t succeed.”

“If you let Old Red Moon Demon escape this time, Chen Taiji will not let you off...”

Yun Jianfei said in a low voice after a long silence.

Coveting the position of the Lord?

Upon hearing this, Lin Wudao finally understood why those people had looked at him with such sympathy and pity when they were in the Tianyuan Palace.

It turned out that they all knew!

“They are using me as the scapegoat? To take the blame?”

...

“That’s right!”

“Sigh, if I had known this would happen, I would have explained it to you back then. But, then, things wouldn’t have turned out this way...”

Yun Jianfei blamed himself.

Lin Wudao nodded and did not dwell on this issue.

“Thank you for telling me the truth!”

“Lord Lin, tomorrow...”

“I will execute him as usual!”

Lin Wudao did not care about Yun Jianfei’s shock. Instead, he turned around and walked into his room.

“He’s knowingly walking into the trap,” Yun Jianfei sighed.

Soon after, he shook his head, turned around, and left the Star Seizer Courtyard.

...

In the room, Lin Wudao sat peacefully.

From today’s incident, he felt that the Demon Subduing Division in Yuan State was not as harmonious as it seemed. Beneath the surface, it was chaotic, and almost everyone had their plans.

However, he did not feet feel any fear. Instead, he was filled with anticipation.

“It’s said that the Old Red Moon Demon of the Netherworld Devil Sect is a master of the Paramita realm. If it weren’t for Zhao Xuanxiao, even the Deputy Governor of the Demon Subduing Division wouldn’t have been able to suppress him.”

“I wonder what good things I’ll obtain if I collect his corpse?”

Lin Wudao was filled with anticipation.

Why not collect a corpse presented to him?

As for the danger?

If the Netherworld Devil Sect dared to come, he would welcome them with open arms!

His heaven burial bronze coffin was big enough to collect many corpses.

These people were all stepping stones for him to become stronger!

Thinking of this, Lin Wudao collected his thoughts and communicated with the system.

[ Ding! ]

[ Congratulations! You have successfully joined the Yuan State’s Demon Subduing Division and become a Lord of the Demon Hunter Hall. Fate Energy value +3000! ]

Suddenly, a notification sound rang in his mind.

There were also Fate Energy points to this.

Lin Wudao was surprised.

[ When the host’s identity, status, and strength change, a certain amount of Fate Energy value will be obtained! ]

[ In addition, if the host makes an outstanding contribution to the organization he is in, he will also receive a lot of Fate Energy value. ]

[ Does killing the Old Red Moon Demon count? ]

[ It counts! ]

The system replied.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wudao’s eyes lit up.

“Old Red Moon Demon, it’s your turn to die this time!”

He muttered.

He then immersed himself in cultivation.
