Warning! The evil god's minions are invading the eerie dungeon.

While Qi Xie was eager to try.

He was unaware that tonight's events were not as simple as he thought, but rather formed an undercurrent that nearly stirred up the entire traveler's community.

In a place where Qi Xie cannot see.

Li Song was sitting upright in a private room, with a computer in front of him. Several windows on the screen were showing a live video stream of nearly a dozen men and women.

These are all core leadership members of the Li family, the wandering clan, who are currently holding a family meeting via video.

Li Song knew that tonight's events had a huge impact and could not be kept secret, so he simply reported it to his family directly.

"That's roughly what happened. A dangerous and bizarre creature has invaded the city. From any perspective, this is an unusual event."

After recounting the "midnight student ghost" incident that night, Li Song added:

"Compared to before, the speed of the strange invasions has increased abnormally dramatically, so I suggest that the family expand into the business of strange potions..."

"Wait a minute,"

Just then, a voice interrupted him:

"I have a question I'd like to ask you first."

Li Song looked nervously at the video window of the middle-aged man who had interrupted him:

"Second Uncle, please speak."

"I want to know how that dangerous and bizarre creature was finally dealt with."

The middle-aged man's voice was calm, but his eyes were sharp:

"As far as I know, you don't currently have enough combat power in Yingchuan City to deal with dangerous and bizarre situations... Did you end up calling in the Bizarre Special Operations Bureau to handle it?"

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, the expressions of the others underwent various subtle changes.

Some people gloated, some looked worried, and most looked at Li Song, wondering how he would respond.

This is a conspiracy.

His second uncle wanted to use this issue to force Li Song to admit on the spot that he had hired external forces to intervene.

What seemed like just a confirmation of the situation actually forced Li Song to admit his own inadequacy.

Upon hearing this, Li Song swallowed hard and glanced at the video windows of the two men on the other side.

One is his grandfather, the current head of the Li family, Old Master Li, and the other is his father, Li Feng.

Grandpa Li remained calm, but his father's eyes seemed to say he wanted to slap him.

"This is infuriating! This second uncle is really something... It's not like I'm fighting you for the inheritance. If you want to cause trouble, go after my dad, why are you messing with me..."

Li Song cursed inwardly, wiping sweat from his trouser leg with his hand hidden under the table.

Does he dare say that he got drunk with his cronies, spilled the beans about having the calamity-level material the old man gave him, and then got betrayed and had someone come to buy it?

dare not.

The old man is right here!

But the problem is that he can't lie.

This matter has even alarmed the authorities; a simple investigation will uncover the truth.

When his lies are exposed, it will only make things worse!

What should I do?

Li Song's mind raced; a flash of inspiration struck him, and almost instantly, he blurted out:

"The authorities did send people, but I hired someone to deal with that extremely dangerous and bizarre creature."

The video conference immediately fell silent after those words were spoken.

All eyes turned to Li Song, with some surprise.

"Can you find someone to deal with this extremely dangerous and bizarre creature?"

My second uncle found it even more unbelievable:

"You think you can hire such a ruthless character? No, what kind of payment would you offer to hire such a ruthless character?"

Li Song: "I used the calamity-level bizarre material that my grandfather gave me as payment in exchange for the other party's request to solve the bizarre situation and... 9100 bizarre points."

As expected, everyone's expression changed slightly, even Old Master Li frowned slightly.

Many people, seeing the change in Old Master Li's expression, looked at Li Song with schadenfreude.

Li Feng stared at Li Song expressionlessly, his hand hidden under the table stroking the Seven Wolves belt.

"Dad, please don't stare at me like that..."

Li Song shuddered at the look in his father's eyes.

Uncle curled his lips into a smile:

"I see. That is indeed a good idea. After all, although the materials provided by the 'old man' are 'very valuable,' it is more important to protect the ordinary people on the territory first. Your handling of this matter is beyond reproach."

Then you damn well better stop emphasizing "old man" and "very precious," you old fox!

Li Song cursed inwardly.

These words, seemingly a compliment, were actually a subtle dig at his back.

No matter how well you handle it, if you lack ability, you lack ability. The way you handled this matter did not bring any benefits to the family, and you even lost a calamity-level strange material.

On the surface...

The second uncle's move directly led to his demise.

But Li Song is now pinning all his hopes on a single name.

He took a deep breath and, in an extremely solemn tone, spoke each word carefully:

"The person I hired to handle dangerous-level materials is named Qi Xie. In the Traveler Circle's title for him, it should be {Blood Axe Butcher} Qi Xie."

The video conference fell silent again instantly.

This time, everyone's attention was focused on it, regardless of whether they had previously been worried, gloating, or indifferent.

At this moment, everything turned to shock.

It wasn't just because of the terrifying strength Qi Xie displayed, but also because the name held special significance for their family.

The first to break the silence was neither the second uncle nor Li Song, but a young woman with an agitated expression:

"Qi Xie!!! That Qi Xie who killed the handkerchief doll?!"

Another middle-aged man with a resolute face stood up abruptly and took over the conversation, his voice urgent:

"Qi Xie, who killed the butcher and wiped out the Annie Family Inn copy?! Is it really him? Swear!"

"right."

Li Song nodded and added:

"That's the one who avenged my cousin Li Qing and my cousin Li Zimeng."

The meeting fell into a brief silence for the third time.

After a while, the young woman suddenly burst into tears.

The middle-aged man with a resolute appearance covered his face, his burly body huddled together, trembling slightly.

The towering, upright man seemed like such a tiny little ball at that moment.

The two children had died some time ago.

Everyone knows that the bizarre dungeons are just that cruel; if you can't get through them, you'll die inside—that's just fate.

So, even though they fainted when they witnessed their child being tortured and brutally murdered in a bizarre and inhuman way.

She could only force herself to accept the fact that her child had died.

In fact, they already knew that Qi Xie had killed two strange people.

But at this moment, until they actually came into contact with this "benefactor" who avenged them, to some extent.

Her longing for her deceased child finally erupted completely.

In reality, Qi Xie might have just killed those monsters on a whim for the sake of so-called "performance".

But for countless families who have witnessed their "relatives," "friends," and "lovers" die tragically at the hands of the supernatural, this is a different story.

That was the liberation of finally having the nightmare that haunted me day and night cut off.

"...If it's that person, then let's give it to them. It's what our Li family should give."

At this moment, even the second uncle's gaze towards Li Song was no longer sharp, but softened somewhat.

Although everyone in the family may argue and fight amongst themselves, they are still family in the end.

No one could remain unmoved by witnessing their own blood relatives being so cruelly murdered.

A family that cannot even achieve this level of empathy cannot possibly grow and thrive.

The middle-aged man trembled for a long time before lowering his hand. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Li Song in a hoarse voice:

"Where is that...that 'benefactor' now?"

The young woman also came to her senses, wiping away her tears as she said urgently:

"Yes, yes, I should go and thank you in person..."

Li Song looked troubled upon hearing this.

That's enough.

Just then, a weak but authoritative voice rang out.
