Xie Zhou didn't want to pay attention to these rumors. After all, no matter how they were said, whether they sounded nice or unpleasant, they were just rumors and wouldn't have any impact on Xie Zhou. However, Xie Zhou felt that these people were deliberately spreading the rumors, which made him feel somewhat exhausted.
Meanwhile, the people of the Sword Sect were also feeling exhausted. After all, since the Demon Extermination Team set off, many people had come to the Sword Sect one after another, just to demand an explanation.
"It is absolutely unacceptable that a great demon like Xie Zhou, who has committed such heinous acts, is still allowed to remain in the Sword Sect. He must be expelled from the Sword Sect!"
Several righteous people came directly to the Sword Sect and started shouting and yelling, making it seem like they were about to cause a big scene. Even if the Sword Sect members didn't want to respond, they had no choice but to come out and respond, as more and more of these righteous people gathered, and for a time the momentum was overwhelming.
If the Sword Sect fails to respond for a long time, it will inevitably be accused by some people of protecting a demon like Xie Zhou, which will ruin the reputation of the Sword Sect. Naturally, the sect leader does not want to see such a situation.
"Stop making a scene outside! Everyone, please come inside the Sword Sect and let's talk this out! Making a scene outside will damage our relationships and our own reputation!"
The sect leader of the Sword Sect could no longer sit still, so he personally took charge and brought the most troublemakers back to the Sword Sect. A meeting was then held.
"I wonder what brings you all to the Sword Sect this time, and why you've made such a big fuss. Why don't we wait a while and see if the situation changes?"
The Sword Sect Master sat in the main seat, looking down at the group of people, and sighed. The group below also looked uneasy.
"You must know that Xie Zhou, that great demon, came from your sect. Xie Zhou, that demon, has harmed the common people and committed many wrongdoings. Even you cannot defend her. We are here to plead with the sect leader of the Sword Sect to remove Xie Zhou from the Sword Sect!"
The Sword Sect Master had long anticipated this scene, but he never expected that when this problem was truly placed before him, he would hesitate so much.
Subsequently, the Sword Sect Master had no choice but to use delaying tactics. He waved his hand, clearly unwilling to say anything more to these people.
"As for this matter, since everyone has such strong opinions, I will naturally give it serious consideration. However, whether or not Xie Zhou should be expelled from the Sword Sect, I still need to consult with the elders of the Sword Sect. Please go back and wait for three days, and things will naturally take a turn for the better by then!"
This was already the best answer and the limit of the Sword Sect Master's patience. If these self-righteous righteous people continued to act arrogantly and recklessly in front of the Sword Sect Master, the Sword Sect Master might do something drastic.
So these upright people looked at each other in bewilderment. They all knew that there was a limit to what one should do and that one should not keep pushing someone too far.
"Even if the Sword Sect Master wanted to refuse this time, he probably wouldn't have a reason, since Xie Zhou's mistake was just too great!"
A day after this event, a massive flood suddenly broke out across the entire world, causing widespread suffering and displacing many people. Of course, this did not escape the notice of the righteous sects, who immediately offered assistance.
However, the righteous sects did not pay much attention to this matter. After all, righteous religions are usually located on high mountains and would not be affected by floods. Even if they wanted to help, they did not have any good methods. Although the flood was gradually improving for the time being, the number of displaced people was increasing.
"With such a great flood, the righteous people don't seem to be anxious at all. Instead, they sit in their high positions, indifferent to the situation. It's truly lamentable."
After hearing about the flood, Xie Zhou sighed to himself. Nevertheless, he did his best to help the people as soon as possible, so that they could suffer fewer casualties and save as much of their property and children's lives as possible.
Xie Zhou's subordinates were originally from the Demonic Sect. If they were evil, it was because they were forced by external forces. Naturally, they were also willing to help innocent people. Thus, a rescue team was formed under Xie Zhou's organization.
The rescue team organized by Xie Zhou was also very capable. They were very effective and rescued all the civilians who had suffered losses. They also provided them with new homes. As a result, Xie Zhou's reputation spread far and wide. This time, no one called Xie Zhou a demon behind his back. On the contrary, many people expressed their gratitude to Xie Zhou.
"Yes, if Xie Zhou hadn't saved us this time, we might not be alive or homeless. We're so grateful to Xie Zhou. We thought he was a great demon, but it turns out we misunderstood him..."
One of the common people sighed and uttered these words, which resonated with all the common people. After all, they had always believed that righteous people were the true path of light, while Xie Zhou walked a dark and filthy path.
But now they are wrong. True righteous people only contribute to the greater good, while Xie Zhou is willing to sacrifice his own interests to save the common people of Dawn.
"We really have to thank Xie Zhou. He's not some kind of great demon. In my opinion, Xie Zhou is the kindest person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used so much of his power just to save our lives, give us shelter, and provide us with food and drink!"
Then, the people who had been saved by Xie Zhou spontaneously organized themselves to thank Xie Zhou. They said that if it weren't for Xie Zhou, they wouldn't be alive today. So, a very spectacular scene unfolded, with almost all the people kneeling and prostrating themselves on the ground in worship.
"We are truly grateful to Heaven for sending such a powerful figure as Xie Zhou to save us from our dire straits. What difference does justice and evil make in this world? Xie Zhou's greatness makes him the true embodiment of justice among all of us ordinary people!"
"Thank you, bright day!"
The behavior of these ordinary people spread far and wide, becoming known throughout the land. Xie Zhou's reputation in the other world was two-faced, which also caused a lot of discussion.
