I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

However, in Li Yuan's view,

He felt that familiar faces never brought him any good fortune.

Li Yuan felt that since Caroline wasn't a celebrity...

Then there's a high probability that she'll be the lead actress in some movie.

Caroline, oblivious to Li Yuan's expression, chuckled and said to herself:

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Li Yuan."

This was the first time I'd ever seen a real exorcist, and I'd even encountered two at once.

"That means you must be very lucky."

Li Yuan leaned down and smiled as he reminded Caroline:

"Please remember to keep our business cards safe. If you encounter any problems, you can call us."

"Yes! I definitely will."

Li Yuan nodded and waved goodbye to Caroline.

He then said to Cotton:

"Let's go, we still need to finish up."

After the two got into the car, under Caleb's guidance,

We drove toward the church in Evanwood.

Caroline, sitting in the Beetle, once again took out Li Yuan and his companion's business cards.

He memorized both of their phone numbers.

The car sped along and soon arrived at the church in the center of town.

Reverend Manley, a slightly overweight and balding man, happened to be seeing off believers at the church entrance.

When he saw Caleb get out of the car, a complex emotion flashed across his face.

However, he quickly recovered and greeted Cotton familiarly:

"Pastor Cotton, I've heard of you."

"Oh! Hello, Reverend Manley."

Cotton greeted Manley discreetly.

He smiled and explained his purpose:

"I heard the Switz family are devout believers, so I had Caleb bring me here."

I'd like to know more about the Switz family's past.

I wonder if you could tell me about it.

Manley glanced at Caleb, who was standing at the back.

But surprisingly, he did not respond.

He could only smile and nod, agreeing:

"Yes, Reverend Cotton, let's go inside and talk."

As he spoke, he reached out and led everyone into the church.

He led the three of them toward the office.

While curiously observing Li Yuan:

"Reverend Cotton, who is this gentleman?"

Cotton glanced at Li Yuan, then smiled and said:

"This is my assistant, who came to learn exorcism from me."

Manley nodded in sudden realization:

"I see. But this young man is really young. Is he also an evangelical?"

"Yes...that's right!"

Cotton continued to cope, while feeling a chill run down his spine.

He thought to himself, "I hope His Excellency the Bishop won't mind too much..."

Soon, the group, led by Manley,

They arrived at the office located on the second floor of the church.

Manley brewed a pot of tea, and Li Yuan and the other two each poured themselves a cup.

Then, holding a teacup, he greeted the three of them:

"Try it all, this is authentic Chinese black tea."

Cotton picked up his teacup, about to take a sip,

Seeing that Li Yuan hadn't touched his teacup, he slowly placed it back on the table.

Caleb, on the other hand, sat there blankly to the side.

It was as if he hadn't heard Manley's words at all.

Manley looked at the three of them and coughed awkwardly.

I had no choice but to ask:

"So, what would you like to know?"

This time, Li Yuan spoke up.

He stared at Reverend Manley in front of him, and asked with a smile:

"What I want to know is, just how many cult members are in this town?"

"Oh. How many believers did you say..."

Pastor Manley stopped abruptly halfway through his speech.

He looked at Li Yuan nervously and murmured:

"Sir, you just used the wrong word, didn't you?"

How could there possibly be cult members here?

Li Yuan pointed to Caleb, who was standing there dumbfounded, and said with a light laugh:

"He's already confessed. I advise you to be sensible too."

I don't want to resort to violence.

Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, Manley's forehead immediately broke out in a fine sweat.

He never expected that this would happen when the plan was about to succeed.

Manley slowly raised the teacup in his hand.

It was as if he was preparing to have a sip of tea to calm himself down.

But just as Manley was about to bring the teacup to his lips,

Li Yuan suddenly grabbed his wrist.

He slowly poured the tea from his hand onto the table.

As the tea touched the table, it made a sizzling sound.

The desktop looked as if it had been corroded by strong acid, becoming pitted and uneven.

Cotton stared at the terrible dent on the table.

Startled, he stood up and took a few steps back.

"You bastard, what did you put in the tea?"

"You two lackeys of God! You won't go to Heaven! You'll both go to Hell!"

Reverend Manley glared at Li Yuan and the other two with a ferocious expression, about to continue his curses.

Li Yuan twisted his right hand suddenly.

With a snap, Pastor Manley's wrist was broken!

Before Reverend Manley could even utter that swear word,

He was choked back by the intense pain.

The moment Pastor Manley opened his mouth, Li Yuan

He poured a bottle of [Compliance Potion] directly into the other person's mouth!

"Uh... um... cough cough cough..."

Pastor Manley had his mouth stuffed directly into the mouth with a vial of medicine.

He immediately gagged and struggled to vomit the medicine bottle.

"You bastard! Lord Abalaam..."

Before he could finish his rant,

Pastor Manley then became just like Caleb, looking completely dazed.

Li Yuan clapped his hands and said softly:

"Alright, now you need to tell me, how many believers are there in this town?"

Reverend Manley pondered for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice:

"The 27 core members and all the remaining townspeople are potential members of the Black Mass cult."

"That's quite a lot."

Li Yuan nodded and instructed Pastor Manley:

"Now, go make a phone call and summon all the core members of the denomination to the church."

"yes!"

Reverend Manley slowly walked to his desk.

He picked up the phone and called the cult members.

Li Yuan then stood up and instructed Cotton:

"This time, eliminating only these core members of the cult will be enough."

As for the other residents of the town, no action needs to be taken for the time being.

I need you to keep watch here for me for a while.

If any more cults emerge, you should eradicate them completely.

Just as Cotton was about to respond, he heard another crisp 'snap' sound in his ear.

Immediately afterwards, Caleb's body fell straight to the ground.

His neck was twisted 180 degrees.

Cotton quickly lowered his head and touched his chest, replying to Li Yuan:

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Li Yuan stood by the window, gazing at the night view outside the church.

They waited for Pastor Manley to gather the cultists together.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Yuan, who had nothing else to do,

I called Edward, who was in Texas.

The phone rang twice before Edward answered it.

"Hey, Li Yuan, are you done on your end?"

Upon hearing Edward's voice, Li Yuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He asked in a low voice:

"Edward, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, don't worry, Li Yuan."

Li Yuan nodded and whispered his instructions:

"Edward, please don't act impulsively, okay?"

I'll be done here soon, and I'll fly to see you tomorrow morning.

"Hmm, no rush, I'm chatting with my family right now, it's very enjoyable."

Hearing Edward's relaxed tone, Li Yuan was completely relieved.

As long as he doesn't cause trouble for that devil, everything else is fine.

"That's good. You chat with your family now, see you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Edward hung up the phone with a smile.

At this moment, he was sitting at the round table during the family's sacrificial ceremony.

The other family members were also sitting around here.

Edward put his phone into his backpack, his smile fading.

He looked at his family members sitting at the table and asked in a deep voice:

"How about we play a game next?"
