Chapter 467 Slaying Evil
What's missing?
The sorcerer looked at Zhou You with a puzzled expression, and for some reason, a sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart.

But the person stopped wielding their sword and instead looked at him with a smile.

"Hey bro, you know something, don't you?"

"."

The other party remained silent, but Zhou You continued to speak with a smile.

"When it comes to catching mice, you can't rush to catch them—they're small and scurry around everywhere. If you run around and run, even if you eventually catch them, you'll end up covered in mud and wasting your time."

"—So the best thing to do is to set a mousetrap, put a piece of fat meat on it, and wait for him to take the bait."

The sorcerer suddenly sensed something was wrong. He could no longer restrain Zhou You and hurriedly tried to withdraw his consciousness.

but.

At that moment, someone simply smiled and said two words.

"Sever evil."
-
On the other side of the villa, Xueying had clearly touched Lin Huan's body, but for some reason, he suddenly froze.

The girl is still the same girl.

But the girl is no longer the same girl.

Right before its eyes, the little girl suddenly and slowly opened her eyes.

It was still a chaotic mess. The repeated mental torture had indeed been very effective, and she would definitely not be able to recover in the short term.

but.

But deep within those pupils, there was something quite different.

That was fanaticism, that was rage, that was the ultimate annihilation of evil spirits, that was the most fundamental aversion to countless sins!

Unfortunately, the sorcerer fits all of his targets perfectly.

He screamed and roared, trying to loosen his grip, but it was as if it were glued on, and he couldn't break free no matter what he did.

at the same time.

The blankets covering the girl slowly fell to the ground.

Half of her fair arm was exposed to the air, and along with it appeared a jet-black longsword.

The sword was quite inconspicuous, and the scabbard was also black, seemingly the kind of common sword. However, the moment the sorcerer saw it, he felt as if he had met his natural enemy.

They had no ability to resist, and couldn't even muster the intention to escape.

A scream suddenly rang out in the night sky.

"What is this!"

pity.

I was unable to give him an answer.

Lin Chen slumped to the ground, his expensive suit crumpled into a ball, but he paid no attention to it, just staring blankly at the sword.

then.

Accompanied by twinkling starlight, the sword was drawn.

In a daze, an endless stench of blood filled the entire room.

However, unlike the bloody scent of Blood Shadow, the blood on the sword had a righteous and honorable feel to it, as if all evil spirits would retreat under this longsword.

Sorcerers are no exception.

Only now did he understand.

I did use a tactic to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but that guy went along with it and used the opportunity to lure the snake out of its hole!
It now seems that as long as I proceed step by step to attack this manor—no, even if I disregard the backlash from the start and go straight for the kill, I will still fall into this trap.

It's a pity.

There's no time left for him to regret it.

Even without anyone wielding it, the sword was still slowly drawn out, its cold light flashing like fireflies, even seemingly corresponding to the stars in the sky.

Then, it was as if it had been pent up for a long time.

One sword.
Cut it out!
-
This is the maze.

Wen Tianyi had just barely managed to get up from the ground, panting heavily as he looked at the wailing faces and asked in a low voice.

"Master Zhou, what's wrong with him?"

"Who knows? Maybe it was a sudden epileptic seizure?"

Zhou You smiled and then stepped forward.

The numerous monsters surrounded him, but without his control, they all hesitated to approach, none daring to get close to the frail figure.

However, Zhou You did not rush to draw his sword.

The height was too great, there was nothing around to use for leverage, and Duan Xie was not nearby, so it would indeed be difficult to cut down Wan Ren with just one person.

But.

He looked up at the sky.

With that clone severely damaged, many flaws have appeared in this maze, and now there is a hole in the ceiling.

Outside.

The night is deep, and only the moonlight shines brightly.

So Zhou You took out the Broken Moon Bow, which he hadn't seen for a long time, from his Diancang Ring, and then drew the bow and strung the string.

The bright moonlight flowed into it, transforming into a silvery-white arrow.

Then.

It shot out suddenly—

The man no longer had the strength to move his face and could only watch helplessly as the arrow came hurtling towards him. In the end, all he could do was let out a miserable scream.

"My Lord, save me!"

The next second, a slimy tentacle suddenly fell from the void. It first 'looked' at Zhou You, paused, but then gently curled up on the sorcerer's head.

Then, with a bright trajectory, that face was completely pierced through.

After a long while, Wen Tianyi finally spoke, his voice trembling.

"Master Zhou, did you take care of that guy?"

Zhou You shook his head and said casually.

"No, he was rescued—but you don't need to worry too much. This guy was seriously injured on both sides, and even if he's still alive, he's not far from death."

But then he looked at the closed hole and suddenly frowned.

"Strange, I've never cut anything like that before, but judging from its reaction, it's like that lump of gel recognizes me?"
-
After a few hours.

When they returned to the villa, it was in complete disarray.

After the Blood Shadow was split in two, the countless manipulated flying beasts scattered, along with large swathes of shattered flesh and blood, and a pile of victims still lying in the ground, seemingly insane.

After Zhou You came in, he didn't say much. He simply checked on the people and found that they were all fine. He then put away the still unsatisfying Duanxie and went back to his room to sleep.

He's not some superman; even someone with a body of steel couldn't withstand two days and two nights of staying up all night.

And this sleep lasted for a whole day.

When I woke up again, it was already dusk outside.

Yawning, Zhou You took down the talisman that was hanging on the wardrobe as an alarm, and too lazy to do any grooming. He just scratched his chin and casually walked down the stairs.

However, he was suddenly taken aback when he saw the people below.

Needless to say, Wen Tianyi, facing a sorcerer who could kill without leaving a trace, was determined not to leave until the matter was resolved.

But another one.
That was Lin Chen.

Of course, his presence wasn't surprising; what was surprising was his demeanor—he seemed to have been waiting there for a long time, even the ashtray was piled high with cigarette butts. Upon seeing Zhou You come down, Wen Tianyi immediately stood up with a fawning smile, about to greet him.

"Master Zhou, you..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Lin Chen interrupted him.

"Master, have you rested well?"

The words weren't exactly flattering, but they were as respectful as a grand-disciple would to their patriarch.

Wen Tianyi glanced back in disbelief, opened his mouth as if to say something—but Zhou You had already spoken.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Lin, how long have you been waiting here?"

"I've been waiting since the Taoist priest went to sleep."

Lin Chen stood with his hands at his sides, speaking respectfully, without the slightest arrogance of a big boss.

If before he could only be described as polite to Zhou You, calling him a master but still treating him as a subordinate employee, now he has completely reversed the roles, treating himself as a complete subordinate and behaving with courtesy.

However, Zhou You didn't mind these things.

In the script, he only encountered people like the Hidden King, or at the very least, a prefect of a province—roughly equivalent to a governor—and had long been used to this kind of thing called status.

So he simply picked up the bottle on the table, opened the cap with his thumb, and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

But soon after, he let out a "Huh?"

"This wine."

Lin Chen immediately explained with a smile.

"Master Zhou seems to enjoy fine wine, so I specially found a jar of fine wine that has been aged for many years in the cellar. I hope you will like it."

"That really goes to your trouble."

Zhou You thought for a moment, but instead of putting the bottle down, he simply placed it in his lap and plopped down on the sofa.

"Mr. Lin, you must have something to say with such politeness. Just say it directly, there's no need to beat around the bush."

Lin Chen gave a wry smile, then spoke hesitantly.

"Taoist priest, what about that sorcerer?"

"You can rest assured about him. With just two moves from me, he'll be crippled if not dead. Even if he uses the power of the Heavenly Demon, he won't be able to harm you in the short term. As for the long term, don't worry. I have his traces on hand, and I can slowly push his location out using feng shui. I can resolve this for you before we go back."

Lin Chen's face lit up with surprise.

"Thank you very much."

"Don't worry about it. I'm just doing my duty to the emperor. By the way, is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Lin Chen knew that Zhou You didn't want to get too involved with him, so he simply continued the conversation.

"I have two more things here. The first is that your family called earlier, but it didn't seem to be in a hurry, so I didn't want to bother you. May I ask what they are?"

"From home? Then please bring it to me."

Soon, accompanied by a call from the satellite phone, a voice rang in my ear.

"Mr. Zhou?"

His words were very cold, and he seemed quite unwilling to hear Zhou You's voice.

The person didn't seem to mind and just chuckled.

"Mayor Zhang?"

"I've taken good care of your place. Someone did try to probe us earlier, but they weren't much of a threat and we easily repelled them."

That's right, the person on the other end of the phone was the mayor who had previously been acquainted with Zhou You and was the one guarding the secret town in the mountains.

Although these people weren't cultivators, as guardians of the spirits, they possessed some hidden skills. At the very least, they were capable enough to protect Zhou You's home and prevent the little female ghost from being caught in the crossfire.

"Thank you so much! I'll definitely have to thank you properly when I get back."

However, the other party showed no appreciation whatsoever, simply snorting before hanging up the phone.

"Is it really that big of a deal? It's just that I killed your ancestral spirit, and you still hate me now? If you really push me too far, I'll get that black cat spayed/neutered when I get home."

As Zhou You rolled his eyes, Lin Chen spoke again.

"Mr. Zhou, there is a second matter."

"What?"

"Yesterday I spent the whole day finding another survivor, and he was still alive."
-
Led by Lin Chen, when Zhou You entered the living room of the main house, the first thing he saw was a trembling young man.

This person looked to be in his early twenties, thin and frail, as if a gust of wind could blow him away; and his eyelids were sunken, clearly indicating that he hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.

Upon seeing Lin Chen enter, he immediately rushed over as if he had found a lifeline.

"Mr. Linlin, you...you said you would save me, but...it seems that thing has already come after me. What should I do?"

When facing outsiders, Lin Chen reverted to his aloof and authoritative demeanor.

"I've already said, it's not me who can save you, but someone else can. But the condition is that you have to tell me everything you know, otherwise you'll bear the consequences."

Startled, the man's speech became even more stammering.

"Who is that?"

Zhou You, with a slight smile, took a step.

Looking at the face that was only a few years older than himself, the young man was taken aback, and then couldn't help but speak.

"Mr. Lin, you...you're talking about him?"

It was a very ordinary question, and even Zhou You didn't care.

However, Lin Chen suddenly frowned and then spoke coldly.

"Wang Ming, do you not trust me, or do you not trust the Taoist priest?"

"No, no, no, I was just saying it casually, please don't mind it."

Seeing that the person seemed to be on the verge of tears, Zhou You smiled and smoothed things over.

"Boss Lin, this is only natural. Besides, this young man has already suffered so much, so don't frighten him."

Lin Chen didn't refute anything, but lowered his head slightly and said, "The Taoist priest is right." Then he withdrew his hand and retreated to the back.

However, before leaving, he still gave the man a cold glance.

Zhou You roughly understood his thoughts.

He was simply angry that these guys had led his girl astray, causing him to suffer this calamity for no reason.

Zhou You ignored it and continued speaking calmly to the student.

"You're Wang Ming, right?"

Yes, yes.

"Don't be so nervous. I only graduated a few years ago. In terms of age, I should still be your senior."

Strangely enough, Zhou You's words were quite ordinary, but for some reason, they had a peculiar magic to them. With just a few words, he quieted down the students who were on the verge of a breakdown.

Then, he finally spoke and asked.

"Hey, junior Wang."

"Please speak."

"Could you tell me about what happened in your club before?"

The man swallowed hard before slowly speaking.

"I actually spoke with Boss Lin before. As you can see, I'm the vice president of this club. I was firmly against organizing this event. After all, even though we deal with these supernatural things, we know there are some things we can touch and some things we can't. But for some reason, our boss, who was a pretty normal person, suddenly seems to have gone crazy."
