"The feeling of fingernails scratching the skin, palms stroking flesh and blood, feeling the blood enter the body and gradually becoming stronger, is an irresistible sensation."
"I felt a voice in my head telling me to keep killing, keep killing, kill everything in sight!"
"Ah Zu, am I...am I going crazy?"
"I don't want this to happen..."
Fu Yu's voice already sounded somewhat like she was crying.
"If you can still listen to me, it's not too serious. Relax and don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Or... when you lose control, think about something that can bring you back to your senses."
Li Xuanzu couldn't offer any particularly good advice.
He sees the lives of ordinary people as worthless, and he doesn't feel much emotion about their deaths.
If he hadn't chosen the path of ruthlessness, he probably wouldn't have felt a ripple of emotion even after the entire Xiong Kingdom was wiped out.
"Okay... I'll try my best."
"I will overcome it, I will overcome it..."
Fu Yu seemed oblivious to whether she had heard him or not; her eyes were vacant as she stared blankly ahead.
"Why think so much? Human life is worthless. If someone dies, they die. We still have a lot to do."
"Since it's all doomed to fail anyway, and Earth will eventually perish anyway, wouldn't dying sooner be a kind of relief?"
Li Xuanzu did not say the last sentence.
Fu Yu doesn't know that much yet.
She already has a lot of things to worry about, and knowing these things would only add to her troubles.
Why live so clearly?
... ...
The two quickly returned to the capital of the Dragon Kingdom.
Kyoto's defenses are quite strong. Li Xuanzu sensed many fourth-tier spiritualists and fourth-tier exorcists stationed there on his way back.
Almost every city of any size has two Tier 4 combatants stationed there.
Not to mention the three fifth-tier exorcists who have never shown their faces and have been silently protecting the entire Dragon Kingdom from the invasion of the supernatural and the gods.
Elder Huang and Huang Yuanqing, a powerful fifth-tier spiritual energy user, have never let him out of their sight.
"India, Russia, and many countries in South America, with Russia as the leader, are the only three places I haven't been to yet."
"Let's go to India first. Their gods seem to have some trump cards that we didn't fully discover when we went there before."
"This is a good opportunity to see what the other party is really capable of."
The conversation between Li Xuanzu and Huang Lao was brief, and they quickly decided on their next destination.
"By the way, how's the Corpse Immortal Sect thing going?"
Li Xuanzu was not in a hurry to leave.
The Corpse Immortal Cult is a very mysterious sect.
There were no clues, and his soul was protected by another Heavenly Dao.
"Sigh, it's so hard to move an inch. In the past two days, we've only managed to arrest a few insignificant nobodys, the kind who know absolutely nothing when questioned."
"It can only be said that they hid it too well, and there must be some important positions held by them in China, otherwise it would be impossible for such a large church group to remain completely untraceable by us."
Old Huang sighed. Just as Li Xuanzu had thought, progress was not going smoothly.
There are many important positions, ranging from security point managers to patrol team members, or even ordinary people with good local connections, all of which can provide cover for members of the Corpse Immortal Cult.
"I really want you to search their souls one by one, I might as well just kill them all!"
Old Huang has been overwhelmed by this matter these past few days, and his tone has become somewhat harsher.
However, it was just something he said in private. He's capable of managing the entire Dragon Kingdom so well that he wouldn't act impulsively over this matter.
"It's tough. If everyone dies, you'll have to reassign people and familiarize them with the procedures. That will slow down the development of China."
Li Xuanzu knew that Huang Lao was just saying things in anger, but he still had to offer advice.
Huang Yuanqing was also patting Huang Lao's back to help him catch his breath.
"My biggest concern right now is that I have absolutely no idea who else I can use besides Yuan Qing."
"Those people from the Corpse Immortal Sect are quite capable. They've turned several of my trusted followers against me. Although they're only third-tier spiritualists, they've caused a lot of trouble."
Old Huang is furious.
The other party must have used some kind of mind-controlling drug; even his trusted confidants, whom he had cultivated with high resources, believed them.
"That's easy. Didn't you take care of a group of orphans before? Now they can come in handy."
"But they..."
"They're still young? Are they all younger than Qian Li?"
Li Xuanzu's words dispelled Huang Lao's concerns.
Those children came from clean backgrounds. After being taken back by Old Huang, they underwent a completely closed-off education and training and never had any contact with others again.
Even if the members of the Corpse Immortal Sect are incredibly powerful, they can't brainwash people from a distance, can they?
"However, I still advise these children not to develop in the direction of psionicists. They are very malleable and are more likely to become exorcists."
"You can let them go on their own. Perhaps one or two lucky ones will be able to open up a new path and summon the gods of the Dragon Kingdom."
Li Xuanzu offered his advice.
Awakening one's innate spirit can be achieved by investing enough emotion in something.
These children have never been exposed to anything before, and with a little guidance, they will become very promising talents.
"But...isn't their only purpose to be trial and error?"
"When did you become so fussy? How many children do you have? Ten, a hundred, or a thousand?"
"Without you, they would just be a group of orphans from the bottom of society. We told them directly: if they are willing to try and make mistakes, they can stay; if not, they can go back to their previous muddy lives and rot and stink to death. Is that so hard?"
Li Xuanzu couldn't stand it anymore and spoke his mind more bluntly.
Old Huang nodded and didn't continue on this topic.
He already had an answer in his heart.
"There's another piece of information about the Corpse Immortal Sect that's quite important."
"According to information sent back by spies, they have also developed in other countries, but due to the influence of the gods, they are unable to brainwash too many people."
"I've got it. Is there anything else?"
Li Xuanzu was not particularly surprised by this.
A church that wants to develop in the long term cannot fixate on just one country.
"It's true that the Chosen One's appointment was brought forward. Both Ouyang Ningxue and Leng An gave me accurate answers."
"I just don't know how the Chosen Ones will proceed."
After a moment's thought, Mr. Huang added a point.
"I don't know about that. If it's really brought forward, there are only about ten days left."
"However, it is most likely a battle between gods. The fact that you were notified means that those three fifth-tier exorcists from the Dragon Kingdom are qualified."
After leaving a message, Li Xuanzu took Fu Yu and left.
Although it appears that four people are sitting together, it is actually just Li Xuanzu and Huang Lao discussing things.
These things no longer needed to be kept secret. Fu Yu and Li Xuanzu became closer, and Huang Yuanqing began to take over Huang Lao's work.
