When Fu Yu saw Li Xuanzu, it was as if she had seen a savior, and she clung tightly to Li Xuanzu's sleeve.

"If you don't like him, just kill him. Why make yourself suffer?" Li Xuanzu said, and the heads of the two old men in front of him fell to the ground with a thud, leaving everyone stunned.

It wasn't until warm blood splattered onto the faces of those nearby that someone screamed and fled.

At this moment, Fu Yu's heart was no longer filled with the panic she felt when watching Li Xuanzu kill people; instead, it was filled with a sense of pleasure.

At least for this moment.

"Li Xuanzu, is...is this really necessary?" Fu Yu cautiously looked up, stole a glance at Li Xuanzu, and, finding his expression unchanged, spoke up.

"What's the point of this? A few gossipy ants, just crush them and that's it. Why are you even concerned about their lives?" Li Xuanzu lowered his head, somewhat amused, and then affectionately patted Fu Yu's head, which barely reached his neck.

Fu Yu wanted to say something, but feeling the touch on her head, she shut her mouth and buried her face in Li Xuanzu's chest.

The phrase "no manners" is incredibly hurtful to a child who lost his parents at a young age.

But that gossipy old couple would never understand, nor would they ever have the chance to.

“I am not responsible for explaining the current situation to you; that is not within my scope of duties.” Li Xuanzu patted Fu Yu’s back a few times and then looked up at the crowd still watching.

"To prevent anyone from continuing to shout, I will briefly recount what happened. Basically, some idiot exorcist in Shanghai released a monster into the city, which then took control of the entire city. I then killed it. Also, it's true that we killed these people. If you want revenge, you should first consider your own strength. I will tell you the details in Kyoto when things calm down. Now, do what you need to do. Even if you kill everyone here, Elder Huang will not say a word for you."

After leaving a few warning words, Li Xuanzu went to check on Dahei's condition and also called Liang Lezhan over.

"Hey kid, come here." Li Xuanzu beckoned to Liang Lezhan, but the gesture was like teasing a dog on the street.

Liang Lezhan walked over with a gloomy face, but his tone was extremely humble: "Is there something you need?"

"Where did you go after you left Ouyang Ningxue and the others?" Li Xuanzu's words were aggressive, as if he would kill the other party if he couldn't answer.

“There were two third-tier exorcists in the distance, so I went to find them, and then they followed me,” Liang Lezhan answered truthfully.

So you just went alone?

“Yes, Dahei is a fourth-tier monster, so it’s perfect for protecting them. Is there a problem with that?” Liang Lezhan was a little confused, but still explained why he had left the group.

"What's the problem? Not only were those two exorcists useless, but that monster also absorbed them and broke through to the fifth rank. Are you really confused or just pretending?" At this point, Li Xuanzu's suspicions had largely dissipated.

Liang Lezhan was a coward and dared not look Li Xuanzu in the eye, but this time, he didn't seem so flustered, and what he said was probably the truth.

"I understand. Don't do things that could cause misunderstandings in the future. Whether you'll live or die is still uncertain." Li Xuanzu left behind a warning and then departed.

"Damn it! Li Xuanzu, I'll make sure you die a horrible death sooner or later!" Liang Lezhan said viciously.

He was truly a coward; he didn't dare utter a single curse, but in his heart, he fantasized countless times about trampling Li Xuanzu under his feet.

Heh, destroy it all, I'm tired.

The system, which had been dormant for a long time, resurfaced, only to utter such a nonsensical statement.

"What do you mean? You look down on me too? What gives you the right to look down on me!" Liang Lezhan, like the other ordinary people, desperately needed an outlet for his frustration.

[Oh dear, you shouted so loudly, you scared the system baby! Tch, why do you only dare to curse in your mind?]

[I consider myself unlucky to have such a useless host as you, but please, control your temper. Strictly speaking, if you die, I won't. If it weren't for the consequences, I would have gladly killed you for Li Xuanzu.]

The system, no longer as restrictive as before, has, for some reason, become increasingly hostile towards Liang Lezhan.

Now he can actually say things like "kill the host".
