"Aaaaaah! Someone's dead! Where are the officials?"
"Ugh, that's disgusting."
"Someone help me, my leg is trapped."
"Quickly, there are still survivors! Call emergency services immediately!"
"Waaaaah, Mom and Dad, where are you?"
"My child, my child! Has anyone seen my son? He's only three years old!"
Someone in the crowd reacted first, shouted a few times, and everyone saw the situation clearly.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the scene was littered with corpses. The ordinary people who had just been attacked by the fifth-order monster were all drained of their life force. Ouyang Ningxue's side had also killed quite a few civilians, not to mention Liang Lezhan, who had been killed even more.
The various shouts were mixed together, making it very noisy.
Ignoring the noisy crowd, Li Xuanzu manipulated his essence blood to take the isolated primordial core into his possession.
That fifth-tier monster didn't die; it was sealed away by Li Xuanzu.
After the Blood Manipulation Technique is incorporated into the divine sense, it can isolate the energy of the spirit. The fifth-order strange creature was imprisoned in its original core and had no ability to move at all.
"Absorb it, lest things get complicated later." Li Xuanzu glanced at Dahei, tossed the Origin Core over, and casually used his divine sense to extinguish the last trace of life force remaining in the fifth-order strange creature, so that Dahei could absorb it safely.
The extracted essence and blood were all absorbed back into the body without leaving a single drop; this stuff cannot be wasted.
"Brother Li, I love you to death! If I were a woman, I would definitely..." Big Black enveloped the core of the source with his black mist-like body, and was so excited that he was talking nonsense.
"I know what you want to say, but shut up, it's too disgusting." Li Xuanzu felt a chill just thinking about it and quickly interrupted Dahei.
Big Black wasn't embarrassed at all. It rolled up the fifth-order primordial core and floated to the side, happily absorbing it.
Li Xuanzu's actions were not ostentatious, but they still attracted the attention of those around him.
"You...you are Li Xuanzu?!" A man pointed at Li Xuanzu, incredulous.
The man's voice caused quite a stir, drawing many eyes from the surrounding area.
"What is this plague god doing here? Isn't he wanted by the higher-ups in the Dragon Kingdom?"
"Could all of these people have been killed by Li Xuanzu?"
"You little rascal."
"Don't say that, they haven't even said anything yet, how..."
"What, you want to speak up for this bastard too? Outsiders are just despicable."
"I..."
The man's voice didn't attract everyone's attention in the noisy environment, and the discussion was only among a few people, mostly elderly men and women.
They were lucky, actually. After being taken into custody, they were unable to walk properly and were physically weak, so they couldn't even squeeze into the crowd and escaped a disaster.
"That's not how it is. We came to Shanghai to rescue people." Qian Li couldn't understand the local dialect of Shanghai, but judging from the old man's actions and tone, it certainly wasn't something nice to say.
"Who knows what you're up to? Saving people, my foot! Don't you see how many people have died here?" An old woman next to the old man, speaking with a heavy accent, accused Qian Li. They seemed to be a couple.
They have just experienced a huge change and need someone to vent to, even if that person is just a child.
"Hey, we kindly helped you get rid of the strange control, and now you're blaming us? How can anyone be so unreasonable?" Seeing Qian Li's discomfiture, Ouyang Ningxue took two steps forward, pulled her behind her, and stared at the elderly couple with hostility.
"Exactly, she's getting old and her brain isn't working well, but her mouth can't stay shut. Pah!" Fu Yu wasn't so polite. She was naturally lively and loved to stand up for others, especially since it was Qian Li who was being scolded.
"You sharp-tongued little brat, we've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. So what if we're wrong? Is this how you insult the elderly? You ill-mannered brats." The old man's pride was somewhat hurt, so he abandoned the question and launched into a verbal attack without further ado.
"You're the one with no manners, shameless old man." Fu Yu was hit where it hurt, her chest heaving violently, and her face flushed red.
Seeing this, the old man was very pleased with himself. Just as he opened his mouth to press his advantage, another voice rang out, interrupting him.
"Fu Yu, you've been with me for so long, don't you understand how to treat idiots?"
Li Xuanzu had just handed over the core of the Great Black Origin when he returned and overheard this conversation.
