Above the main gate are the three large characters "Gate of Hell".
Then, under Lin Qing's control, the door slowly opened, and a gust of cold wind blew out from inside.
"My God, it's like the gates of hell."
"This is my first time meeting you, Senior Dragon King, you are truly amazing."
"I never expected that you, Dragon King, could summon the Gates of Hell," Yan Chixia said admiringly.
You should know that although he could go to the underworld, he forcibly cleaved it open, and after going in for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, he could not come back.
The Gate of Hell leads directly to the underworld, and with the Gate of Hell, one can freely travel between the realms of Yin and Yang.
Of course, this is only now. A thousand years ago, there were eighteen ghost kings and little ghosts guarding the Gate of Hell.
A cold wind blew from all directions, and then gradually, more than a dozen figures slowly emerged.
These figures were none other than the ghosts of Wang Biao and his group who had died earlier. It was daytime, and these ghosts were standing there perfectly intact under the sun.
"Wang Biao, you are now sentenced to be exposed to the scorching sun." Lin Qing withdrew the Gate of Hell.
When the Gate of Hell disappeared, Wang Biao and the other ghosts lost the protection of the Yin energy.
"Ah! Ah!"
Wang Biao and his group, who had been looking bewildered, suddenly started screaming in pain from the sun. In no time, they were completely scorched and their souls were scattered.
"Hmph, what nonsense. Xiao Guizi, go and inform His Majesty that I killed Wanhu and will make Zuo Qianqianhu the new Wanhu." Lin Qingfei entered the room.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go to the palace to inform His Majesty immediately." Xiao Guizi hurriedly took his leave and rushed to the palace.
"Alright, you can all go do what you need to do." With that, he went into the inner hall.
Yan Chixia and the old man followed Lin Qing into the inner hall.
"Liu Lan, now that you've joined the Demon Extermination Palace, it's time for you to make your contribution," Lin Qing said with a smile.
"Contribution? What kind of contribution? Is it to complete the task?" The old man was still thinking about the task reward.
"You stay in the Demon Extermination Palace to oversee things. After those people complete their tasks, you collect the demon corpses or ghosts and hand them over to me."
"As for the mission rewards, you can distribute them as well. I'll put some of the essence of the sun and moon here with you," Lin Qing said.
"Well, this old man is in poor health and needs to get out and move around more. Let the State Preceptor of Yan take charge!" The old man wanted to complete the top tasks on the list.
"Oh? Is that so? I was thinking of giving 10% of all the rewards for completed tasks to the person in charge."
"Ah, alright, alright, old man, you go out with the Dragon King to do the mission, I'll stay here at the Demon Extermination Palace." Yan Chixia hesitated for a moment before immediately agreeing.
"Wait, wait, this old man's body won't be weak after eating that thirty-year-old light sphere. Let me take charge!" (The word "eat" has been changed to "collect," please forgive the revision in the previous chapter!)
"No, let me take charge of the Demon Extermination Palace!" Yan Chixia hurriedly shouted.

"No, the Dragon King said that this old man should stay and oversee things."
"Nonsense, you refused yourself, you gave it all to me." Yan Chixia's face turned bright red.
"I'm going to sit here and take charge, so what? If you're not happy, I'll let you beat me with one hand and then I'll give it to you." The old man picked his nose and said disdainfully.
"You, you"
"Alright, stop arguing. Let Liu Lan take charge of the Demon Extermination Palace. Don't look so gloomy."
"We'll give you the rewards for the demons we kill, as per the mission description." Lin Qing may not have much else, but he has an abundance of the essence of the sun and moon.
"Haha, the Dragon King is truly wise and righteous." The old man looked at Yan Chixia with a smug expression.
Although he may not gain as much as Yan Chixia at the moment, he will definitely gain more in the future, and it will be a continuous stream.
"Hmph, I get mission rewards just like I do when I kill demons." Yan Chixia retorted, not to be outdone.
"We'll set off tomorrow." Lin Qing ignored their argument and went inside to study the Book of the World.
Lin Qing discovered that the demons shown in the Book of the World could only appear on it when they did evil.
Those who had harmed others in the past but are no longer evil now do not appear in the Book of Worlds, and Lin Qing cannot check them one by one.
Helpless, Lin Qing could only think about whether he could create a demon ranking list.
His idea was that this demon ranking system awarded one point of sin for each life taken. (Inanimate objects were not included.)
Then the Book of the World will determine whether this person is good or evil. Of course, the battles between nations on the human battlefield will not be included.
Lin Qing couldn't discern these things, but the Book of the World could.
After a night of research, Lin Qing produced the Demon Ranking.
There are a total of 10,000 names on the list, all of which have been judged as evil. Among them are demons, humans, ghosts, and even people from outside the Ming Dynasty.
Lin Qing temporarily removed the foreign individuals from the list, deciding to clean up the Ming Dynasty's list first.
The top ten on the Demon Ranking all have sin values of over 10,000, with the top spot boasting a sin value of over 100,000.
If a person or demon on the list dies, they will be replaced by the next person on the list. Even the 10,000th person on the list will be someone from outside the list.
"These 100,000 sin points could probably wipe out an entire county," Lin Qing lamented, realizing how cheap human life truly is.
Lin Qing made his decision: the first thing he would kill was this top-ranked demon, whose name was none other than Yamata no Orochi!
The Book of the World states that ten years ago, the Yamata no Orochi came to the Ming Dynasty from its small country, swallowed the people of a coastal county, and then fled back to its small country by sea.
When an entire county disappeared, it alarmed Emperor Renzong of Ming.
Then Liu Lan came here to investigate, but after searching for a long time, he found no clues. At that time, the Black Dragon King was ravaging the coast of the East China Sea.
In the end, Liu Lan concluded that the Black Dragon King was the culprit behind the incident, so he directly killed the Black Dragon King, making a name for himself.
Now, however, the Book of the World revealed the truth, and Lin Qing then summoned all the eunuchs and had them copy the Demon List.
"What a terrible Yamata no Orochi! I never imagined it was the culprit back then." Liu Lan ran over and saw the Demon Ranking, exclaiming in exasperation.
“It can’t jump over us. Our first target is Orochi,” Lin Qing said.
"Your Majesty the Dragon King, the State Preceptor of Yan, and the Left Commander of Ten Thousand Households request an audience," a gatekeeper eunuch ran over and said.
"Let Zuo Wanhu in!" Lin Qing immediately said calmly, his expression turning serious.
A short while later, Zuo Qian led Xiahou Wu into the inner hall:
"This humble servant, Zuo Qian (Xiahou Wu), pays respects to Your Majesty the Dragon King and Your Majesty the Imperial Preceptor."
"Get up, there's no need for so much formality, just be casual." Lin Qing was really annoyed by these people who always made her kneel down.
"No, no, after all, propriety cannot be disregarded." Zuo Qian was a bit stubborn about these things.
"Whatever you want. By the way, how many people have mastered the spiritual technique now?" Lin Qing needs a large number of people.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, there are currently 308 people who have mastered the spiritual technique."
“Very good. Now have them come to the Demon Extermination Palace in groups of ten to get a copy of the Demon Ranking, and then distribute them to the prefectures of the Great Ming.”
"We still don't have enough manpower. Now that you've become a commander of ten thousand, get the manpower to cultivate spiritual techniques as soon as possible. I want to send them to every prefecture and state in the Great Ming."
Lin Qing wants to spread the name of the Demon Extermination Palace throughout the entire Ming Dynasty. When that happens, he will be one step closer to completing his main quest.
"Yes, sir, I'll go back now." Zuo Qian was about to take his leave.
"Wait a minute, here, take this and use it to enhance your cultivation."
"Also, give all these to the captains of the ten-man teams and have them come over. Their cultivation levels can't be too low."
Lin Qing opened his mouth and spat out a 30-year-old light sphere to Zuo Qian, then spat out 30 10-year-old light spheres.
This immediately consumed more than 200,000 of Lin Qing's evolution points, all of which were obtained from the demons and ghosts they had previously acquired.
At first glance, it seems like you can get a million evolution points and transform into a dragon within a few days, but the missions are limited.
All the missions near the capital have been completed cleanly, and now no demon or human dares to do anything bad.
Once the Demon Extermination Bureau appears in every part of the Ming Dynasty, that will be the time for Lin Qing to amass evolution points.
"Thank you, thank you, sir. I'll have someone bring them over right away." Zuo Qian immediately whistled.
Then one of Zuo Qian's subordinates ran in: "This humble servant, Zhou Yu, greets you."
"Stop paying your respects and just listen to your master's orders!" Lin Qing interrupted him directly.
After Zuo Qian finished giving his instructions, Zhou Yu immediately rushed back to notify the others to come.
"Xiahou Wu, this is for you. You should also cultivate diligently and strive to contribute to the Demon Extermination Palace." Lin Qing converted the last remaining evolution point.
A 30-year-old orb of light landed in Xiahou Wu's hands, and Xiahou Wu immediately became excited:
"Thank you, Dragon King."
He almost thought the Dragon King had forgotten him, and now tears were welling up in his eyes.
After Lin Qing finished giving his instructions, he and Yan Chixia left for their small country, where they were going to destroy the Yamata no Orochi.
On the Demon Extermination Palace side, everyone inside devoured the light orb. The aura they exuded filled the crowd in the main hall outside with envy, jealousy, and hatred!
If it weren't for the Dragon King and Yan Chixia's presence, and the old man sitting here, they might have already gone in and robbed them.
Several hours later, everyone had exhausted their energy, and then they took the Demon Ranking back with them.
Having assembled their team, they set off for another city; they were the vanguard generals of the Demon Extermination Bureau.

The small country is quite far from the capital, but if Lin Qing flies at full speed, he can arrive in a few hours.
But Yan Chixia couldn't do it; his stamina was too poor, and Lin Qing didn't want Yan Chixia to ride him.
Lin Qing used to feel nothing when others rode on his back, but now for some reason, he doesn't want anyone to ride on his back at all.
As for grabbing Yan Chixia and flying, it's probably because Yan Chixia's clothes were of poor quality.
