By the time they returned to Kyoto, the farce had long since come to an end.
Upon entering Kyoto, no one mentioned the whereabouts of the more than 100,000 people; it was as if they had vanished.
When Li Xuanzu returned, he did so without a sound. The soldiers stationed there were very surprised, but the orders from above and the fact that Li Xuanzu was covered in blood made them dare not ask any questions.
But seeing Li Xuanzu return alone, they more or less guessed what was going on.
At this moment, the night sky seemed to be covered by a faint trace of blood.
The air was thick with the stench of blood, and the few lights that shone dimly made it hard to believe that something was amiss as one looked at Li Xuanzu's back.
After returning to his residence and turning off his phone, Li Xuanzu took a nap.
... ...
In the morning, as soon as he turned on his phone, he saw countless missed calls and messages.
Almost all the calls came from Leng An. As for the messages, he couldn't be bothered to read them; they were nothing more than questions about the life and death of those people.
Out of politeness, Li Xuanzu still made a phone call.
Almost instantly, Leng An's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Where are you now!" He shouted these words, almost using all of Leng An's strength.
"Ah~ I just woke up and am at the accommodations arranged by Elder Huang. What's up?" Li Xuanzu yawned and asked casually.
"What's wrong? You still have the nerve to ask what's wrong? What happened to those people from yesterday?" Leng An was even more furious when he heard Li Xuanzu's tone, but the unknown outcome made him refrain from smashing the phone.
"Just think of the worst-case scenario. I'll wash up first, then I'll hang up." Li Xuanzu hung up the phone directly.
The place wasn't big, but it was small yet complete, with all the necessary facilities, so he actually went to wash up.
However, halfway through brushing my teeth, there was a loud knocking on the door.
The "bang bang bang" sounds made it seem like they were trying to smash the door open.
The small iron gate might not be able to withstand such smashing, so Li Xuanzu went over and opened the gate.
"You bastard!" A huge fist greeted Li Xuanzu as he opened the door.
Li Xuanzu easily dodged and grabbed him with his other hand.
"What's going on? Why is there such a strong sense of resentment so early in the morning?" Li Xuanzu still had a toothbrush in his mouth, and the foam made his speech a little unclear.
"How can you kill so many people and still sleep soundly? They didn't deserve to die!" Even with his hands restrained, Leng An continued to talk.
"Is this really worth getting so angry about? Have they ever helped you? Or did you help them?" Li Xuanzu asked helplessly, grabbing Leng An with one hand as they entered the room.
Ignoring Leng An's cursing, Li Xuanzu finished washing up with one hand.
“They died for a reason, you don’t need to do this.” Li Xuanzu instructed Dahei to restrain him, while he himself lay on the sofa, quietly watching him.
"Reason? Then tell me, what reason could you have for killing hundreds of thousands of people? Speak!" Dahei only controlled Leng An's limbs, not his mouth.
"Let me think about it. There are plenty of reasons, but not many I can tell you," Li Xuanzu said, somewhat troubled.
In Li Xuanzu's eyes, these people would be considered dregs to Blue Star after the great calamity was over. It was reasonable to say that they were cleaning up the garbage for Blue Star, but it was a bit far-fetched.
Then it was for his plan, but that's even more unspeakable.
Third, these people will cause unnecessary trouble in the future, so it's better to get rid of them as soon as possible.
He had no intention of doing anything for humanity, hiding in the shadows to clear out zombies, even if it meant bearing the infamy and silently persevering.
He's not sick or has masochistic tendencies. Do we really have to wait until we've achieved world peace before showing them the facts?
You're carrying such a heavy burden just for a few words of repentance?
Others may not know, but Li Xuanzu doesn't need to.
"It's so annoying. They make me very unhappy and negate my achievements. Anyway, as part of the plan, they're going to die sooner or later. I just accelerated the process." Li Xuanzu frantically scratched his head, not wanting to find any reason.
"They are human beings, living, breathing human beings! Hundreds of thousands of lives! How could you do that?!" Leng An was already on the verge of a breakdown.
"So what!" Li Xuanzu became even more agitated, and his voice grew louder. "A mere 100,000 people are an honor for them to be part of my plan."
"Do you know how many dead people I have seen, and how many people I have killed?" Li Xuanzu recalled one past event after another.
He wiped out sects with millions of members with the flick of his wrist, crushing everyone from thousand-year-old patriarchs in seclusion to newborn infants.
The reason for all this was that a nobody in the sect touched his sore spot, which is the main reason why Li Xuanzu is so ruthless and hypocritical.
Compared to this, the number of over 100,000 people is just a small spectacle.
"Enough, I don't want to discuss this anymore." Li Xuanzu waved impatiently at Dahei, signaling him to see the guest out.
