"dictator!"
"You will destroy the Xia Kingdom!"
The crowd could no longer be contained, and some even began to take action.
In the crowd, a man almost burst out laughing. He was a spirit master whose ability was incitement.
Originally, he didn't dare to use his abilities too much in front of the legendary prophet, for fear of being discovered. Who would have thought that Fang Xiu would be so helpful? He didn't even need to use his abilities, and the atmosphere had already been stirred up to its peak.
There were many people like him, mostly from various factions. They were all laughing out loud. They had never taken on such a simple task before. Now that was great, they didn't need to secretly stir things up, so there was no risk of being exposed. They weren't worried about being discovered at all.
Fang Xiu didn't have the ability to read minds, so he didn't know what these people were thinking. He knew there were bad people among the crowd, but he didn't know who they were.
But none of that matters. He doesn't need to know who the bad guys are, because no one can escape, not even one of them.
"Captain! The crowd is getting out of control, you should leave first." The driver desperately tried to stop the crowd and shouted back to Fang Xiu.
"No need to stop them, let them come over," Fang Xiu said calmly.
"Wh...what?" The driver thought he had misheard.
"Everyone, move aside and let them through," Fang Xiu ordered again.
Although the soldiers hesitated, they obeyed the order.
Without any obstruction, the crowd surrounded Fang Xiu like a surging tide.
However, under Fang Xiu's calm gaze, those people only rushed within a meter before becoming somewhat afraid, and none of them dared to actually charge.
A vacuum zone one meter wide was formed in front of Fang Xiu.
Although they dared not actually do anything to Fang Xiu, they did not show weakness verbally and continued to condemn him.
"Fang Xiu! You must give us an explanation today!"
"That's right! Otherwise, you won't be leaving today!"
Fang Xiu looked at everyone with interest and casually said, "None of you want the headquarters to seek compensation from the Buddhist sect. Don't you know that the Buddhist sect stole the Xuanyuan Sword first?"
Someone in the crowd immediately shouted.
"The Buddhist sect doesn't steal, it borrows! Treasures like the Xuanyuan Sword should be placed in the hands of stronger individuals to maximize their potential."
"That's right, how many monsters can Fang Moli kill with the Xuanyuan Sword? How many can the Buddhist sect kill? What time is it? The whole world is about to be destroyed, and you're still worrying about who owns the Xuanyuan Sword? That's too selfish!"
"Oh?" Fang Xiu's smile widened. "It seems that you are all loyal and righteous people who are wholeheartedly devoted to the Xia Kingdom and selflessly dedicated to it."
"Do you even need to tell me that!"
"If it weren't for the sake of the Xia Kingdom, we wouldn't be here at headquarters to protest today!"
"Very good." Fang Xiu clapped his hands. "To be honest, I agree with your theories. As the weak, we occupy so many resources. It would be better to give those resources to the strong so that they can play a better role."
Fang Xiu's uncharacteristic praise suddenly made everyone feel uneasy.
He continued, “In that case, shouldn’t you, as the weak, also selflessly offer your spirituality to me, who is the strong? After all, you can’t kill too many monsters, but if you give me your spirituality, I can use it to kill more monsters and give you a sense of participation.”
And you ordinary people, though you lack spirituality, you have fear. Offer up your fear, and I will not despise you.
Fang Xiu spoke slowly and deliberately, a strange smile on his fair face that was both beautiful and gave off a strong sense of danger.
Everyone's hearts tightened immediately, and they panicked a little.
"Fang Xiu! We know you're strong, but do you really dare to attack ordinary people? There's a law protecting ordinary people now; if a Spirit Master attacks an ordinary person, it's a serious crime!"
"Hehehe..." Fang Xiu couldn't help but laugh, his deep eyes staring straight at the crowd: "Who do you think... drafted the protection law?"
boom!
A violent burst of black flames erupted from his body, shooting into the sky. A hideous mask was embedded in his cheek, and his short black hair instantly transformed into a waterfall of long silver hair. Blood-red light blazed in his right eye.
Knock knock knock......
An eerie heartbeat echoed throughout the venue.
Everyone was thrown away by the blast wave, and the crowd panicked and scattered.
"Ah! Run!"
"The Captain-Commander has killed someone!"
"Hehehe... Domain unfolds. Abyss of Hell!"
A gigantic blood moon, shaped like an eye, rose into the sky, instantly plunging the clear blue sky into night. The blood-red light emanating from the moon was the only source of light in the world!
As the hellish scene slowly rose, people were terrified and frightened; they found themselves trapped.
The spies from other forces were even more panicked. They thought they wouldn't be exposed, but they never expected Fang Xiu to be so ruthless, not intending to let a single one of them go.
"Let us out!"
"Fang Xiu, you are the captain of headquarters. Don't forget that your duty is to protect us. Now you actually want to kill us. Do you still want to be the captain?!"
"Hehehe..." Fang Xiu looked at the frightened people and laughed even more happily: "Who said I was going to kill you? I'm just giving you a chance, a chance to selflessly dedicate yourselves to the strong and contribute to the cause of eliminating the supernatural."
The next second, countless silver ropes emerged from all directions, and the spirit masters in the crowd were tied around their necks and hoisted into the air.
They struggled desperately, their hands gripping the rope around their necks tightly, their legs kicking wildly in the air, trying to use their spirituality, only to discover to their horror that their spirituality was completely sealed and they could not use it at all.
Soon, something even more terrifying happened: a powerful devouring force emanated from the silver hanging rope, frantically consuming their spirituality like a whale sucking in water.
"Help...help me!"
"Captain Fang... Captain Fang, spare my life!"
"Let me go! You can't devour my spirit!"
The spirit master, who was being held up, had veins bulging on his face and eyes popping out as he struggled desperately.
Fang Xiu quietly admired the scene, his deep black eyes swirling with an unfathomable light, his jade-like fingers twirling a small, sharp scalpel, which gleamed eerily under the glow of the blood.
"Oh? Aren't you all loyal and righteous people who are wholeheartedly devoted to the Xia Kingdom and selflessly dedicated to it? According to your theory, the little bit of spirituality you have is useless if you keep it, so you might as well contribute it to me and let it play a greater role."
Think about it carefully, your spiritual abilities can fight alongside the captain of the Xia Kingdom, what a great and supreme honor that is!
I elevated you to a height you shouldn't have, allowing you to maximize your potential. Shouldn't you be thanking me?
Hearing Fang Xiu's words and the screams of the spirit masters, the remaining ordinary people were terrified. Some even collapsed to the ground, burying their faces in their hands and weeping.
