Uncle Nine: Starting with double pupils, he turned his master into a zombie.

Aunt Zhe thought to herself, but didn't say anything on the surface.

So... is the heretical cultivator that guy who's already dead?

Sensing the intense resentment emanating from him, Aunt Zhe had her answer and spoke formally.

"I am an 83rd generation disciple of Maoshan. May I ask your name, fellow Daoist, and from whom you learned your master?"

"Li Yu, my master is the White Bone Old Man."

Upon receiving a response, Aunt Zhe's expression turned somewhat strange.

Old man with bones?

She still had a strong impression of this old man who had been involved in unorthodox practices for many years.

Although there was no great evil or wickedness, and no chaos or turmoil in the world.

But the other party's mad dog-like demeanor—if he didn't make a move, all was well; but once he did, it was a fight to the death—would leave a deep impression on anyone who saw it!

That old mad dog has taken on a good apprentice, isn't he? Double pupils, huh...?

At this moment, Aunt Zhe had already mentally filled in the entire process.

The evil cultivators abducted these children and murdered the entire royal family to carry out some kind of wicked cultivation. Then Li Yu discovered this and decided to act on behalf of Heaven...

But just after Zhe Gu expressed her guess, Li Yu stretched out his finger and shook it.

"No, no, no, you guessed wrong."

"I killed the entire Wang family, more than a dozen people."

"What?!"

Aunt Zhe's eyes widened. She hadn't expected that the murderer wasn't the dead evil cultivator, but rather the double-pupiled man in front of her who possessed the appearance of a saint!

"You killed him? How dare you admit it?"

Aunt Zhe asked instinctively.

"What is there to be ashamed of?"

Li Yu countered with a question.

Once someone is killed, that's it. Li Yu had no intention of blaming the evil cultivators, even though that would be convenient and would allow him to portray himself as a righteous and noble person.

But he disdained such a thing!

Looking at Li Yu's self-righteous demeanor, Zhe Gu's eyes grew increasingly strange.

Could it be that old man Wang Zhengyang has spoiled this double pupil?

How could a sage with double pupils do such a cruel thing?

As expected, unorthodox methods are unreliable...

Aunt Zhe took two steps back and spoke solemnly.

"How is the indiscriminate killing of innocent people and the persecution of ordinary citizens any different from the actions of heretical practitioners?"

"Fellow Daoist Li, I think you need some guidance. Don't be nervous, I don't know how..."

For the sake of his double pupils, Li Yu might have been misled by that old fellow Wang Zhengyang, so Aunt Zhe didn't intend to kill him outright. Instead, she planned to send him to Maoshan to be properly instructed by the elders...

However, before Zhe Gu could finish speaking, Li Yu interrupted her disdainfully.

"Innocent? Where do you think these children came from?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhe was taken aback.

Looking at those unconscious children, and recalling the various cases of children going missing in the past few months, I was struck by the news.

Could it be... that the Wang family did this?

Is this heretical cultivator hiding behind the Wang family?!

What a cunning and evil cultivator!

Despite realizing the truth, Aunt Zhe still couldn't accept the massacre of the entire Wang family—dozens of them!

"Fellow Daoist Li, even so, isn't this going a bit too far?"

"The Wang family is guilty and deserves to die, but those guards and servants are innocent!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu's disdain deepened.

"Innocent? How dare you utter those words from the mouth of a disciple of Maoshan?"

"Could it be that the Wang family could have captured so many children?"

"Didn't those guards and servants help? Didn't they conceal the truth?"

"Besides, even if they know nothing about it, where do these people's wages and salaries come from?"

"Innocent? Tell me, which member of the Wang family is innocent?"

These words completely shut down Aunt Zhe's computer.

Her eyes were glazed over, and her mind was blank.

The Wang family... are not innocent? It seems that's the case.

But... something feels a little off.

After thinking for a long time, Aunt Zhe didn't know how to refute it, and could only utter one sentence.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you're going a bit too far!"

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Seeing Li Yu's nonchalant and even proud expression, Aunt Zhe was completely at a loss.

Although this person with double pupils acted somewhat violently, his intentions were good.

She didn't know what to say anymore.

Maoshan is not a rigid, inflexible force, nor is Zhegu.

Since the Wang family is guilty and deserves to die, then let them die!

Aunt Zhe wouldn't take action just because a cultivator killed a few wicked mortals, thus labeling others as evil cultivators and tyrannical.

"So... you're not planning to attack me?"

Faced with Li Yu's questioning, Zhe Gu scratched her head and smiled awkwardly.

"Huh? Hahahaha..."

"How could that be? Fellow Daoist Li is joking."

"I just want to invite you to Maoshan to experience our hospitality. I have absolutely no other intentions, absolutely none!"

As she spoke, Zhe Gu stared into Li Yu's double pupils, her face practically screaming "Join our Maoshan sect!"

Li Yu naturally ignored this.

"That's good. I thought you Maoshan were the police of the cultivation world."

"What do you mean?"

"have a finger in the pie!"

Ignoring Aunt Zhe's twitching lips and somewhat darkened face.

Li Yu removed his earrings and threw out the impatient Chi Lian.

What was originally a delicate and cute little thing the size of a finger has instantly become a huge, thick and long object.

He swallowed the corpse of Yu Yao in one gulp.

My stomach, which had been mostly digested and was flattening, suddenly swelled up again.

Satisfied, Chi Lian flicked her tongue and transformed back into her petite form, hanging on Li Yu's earlobe.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhe couldn't help but sigh.

"Fellow Daoist, your spirit pet has a pure bloodline, and even its supernatural abilities have been awakened."

As expected of someone with double pupils, possessing great fortune, even their spirit pet is so extraordinary!

As for the claim that Chi Lian swallowed the evil cultivator's corpse?

It's a minor issue, nothing to be alarmed about.

There are still quite a few people in Maoshan who make a living by transporting corpses.

Maoshan magic is diverse and bizarre, like stars in the sky, with all sorts of strange and wonderful methods.

Not to mention, there are many unorthodox Maoshan sects outside, which even have methods that are almost like evil cultivation, such as corpse refining and corpse raising.

Killing evil cultivators and feeding them to pets is nothing special.

Ignoring Aunt Zhe's sigh, Li Yu scanned the secret room with his double pupils, and after confirming that nothing had been missed, he spoke.

"Then I'll leave this place to you. I'll be going now."

Aunt Zhe's eyes widened, and she pointed at herself in disbelief.

"Huh? Me...me?"

"Otherwise what? The disciples of Maoshan have always taken slaying demons and eliminating evil as their life's creed. Isn't it only natural for them to resolve the troubles left behind by evil cultivators?"

After saying that, Li Yu turned and left.

"Fellow Daoist Zhegu, we'll meet again someday."

A sweep of light met his eyes: the scene of utter devastation, the stench of blood, the unconscious children...

Zhe Gu's eyes twitched wildly as she watched Li Yu's retreating figure, but in the end, she didn't utter a word of refusal.

This person has double pupils.....

I went through all that trouble to get here, did nothing, got a beating, and now I have to defend myself?

I am a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Isn't this kid afraid of me?!
