Chapter 371: You’re Just Here to Pick a Fight! “What thick demonic aura... they still haven’t taken care of the monsters here?” A young man with a pencil-thin mustache landed in front of the C Province Exorcist Division. Barely a second after his feet hit the ground, three subordinates followed, descending from the sky and standing behind him. Li Buyi. A disciple of the Kunlun Immortal Palace, and Wang Shouyi’s Senior Brother. They were both admitted into Kunlun Immortal Palace ten years ago. But unlike Wang Shouyi, he wasn’t an orphan—he was sold by his own parents. His original name was Li Buyi ("Not Easy"), but after being sold to traffickers so his parents could pay off their debts, he renamed himself Li Buyi ("Unrighteous"). He believed his acceptance into Kunlun was his own destiny and had nothing to do with those who birthed him. So the first thing he did after leaving the mountain a month ago—was find his now well-off birth parents and slaughter the whole family, including the children born after, the family cat, and even the dog. Among the new generation of disciples at Kunlun Immortal Palace, he was notorious for his cruelty, coldness, and ruthlessness. Yet, like Wang Shouyi, he was highly valued by Her Eminence. “C Province Exorcist Division.” Li Buyi looked up at the characters above the entrance, a mocking smirk creeping across his face. “Wang Shouyi, so this is the organization you joined? You can’t even keep the monsters in check—how pathetic.” “Move out!” he barked to his subordinates. “Wang Shouyi may be my Junior Brother—and your Senior Brother—if he can’t handle the monsters, it’s on us to step in and help out, right?” “Senior Brother Li is absolutely right!” “Eliminating demons is our duty. What Wang Shouyi fails to do, we shall finish!” The three henchmen chimed in with gusto, following him into the Exorcist Division. “My Senior Brother? Li Buyi? What is he, exactly?” Chen Huaian raised an eyebrow, giving a triple dose of disdain. Wang Shouyi’s mouth twitched. He coughed awkwardly. “Uh… to put it bluntly, he’s a jealous, monster-intolerant, drama-stirring, cold-blooded psycho with decent talent and strength. Honestly—I can’t stand him.” “Oh.” Chen Huaian nodded. Then asked, “Well isn’t that perfect. Since he’s come to my turf, if he causes trouble, this Venerable One will just kill him. Helps you eliminate a competitor. How’s that sound?” Wang Shouyi’s face changed. He was just about to say “You can’t!”— After all, Li Buyi was a Kunlun disciple. Killing him would be declaring war on Kunlun. He had zero confidence in protecting the Senior if Her Eminence flew into a rage. But before he could speak, a voice rang out behind them— low, sharp, and brimming with suppressed anger: “Oh? Kill me? Who’s got that big a mouth?!” Li Buyi took three steps—covering a hundred meters—and stood before the crowd. The staff of the Exorcist Division couldn’t even stop him. Didn’t even touch the hem of his robe. His eyes passed over Chen Huaian quickly—then landed on the massive beast beside him, soaked in overwhelming demonic aura. “Well, well, well! So there is a monster you people didn’t take care of!” Li Buyi’s heart tensed at the sheer pressure radiating off Hakyryu. But at the same time, a wave of greed surged in his chest. Such dense demonic aura was a clear sign of a high-bloodline beast. And this one was clearly tamed—sitting there obediently. A beast like this was priceless. Take those curved black horns, for instance—just those could make elite magic weapons. He could easily fabricate a reason: “The beast poses a threat. Kill it.” Whether the C Province Exorcist Division liked it or not— he didn’t care. He had Kunlun Immortal Palace behind him. And Kunlun’s word was law. Kill the beast, walk away, and maybe they’d thank him for it. Having made up his mind, Li Buyi put on a righteous face and pointed at Hakyryu. “Junior Brother Wang, what’s going on here? Her Eminence said monsters are deceitful and evil—they must be eradicated! And yet here you are, sheltering such a powerful one under the C Province Exorcist Division?” Wang Shouyi frowned. He hated Li Buyi’s sanctimonious crap—but one thing he said wasn’t wrong: Her Eminence had decreed that beasts should be exterminated to harvest resources. She also said there was no such thing as a "good" monster. Even if one existed, Immortality Seekers had no business allying with them. In short: Not of our race? Kill it. No need for debate. No betrayal to worry about. Wang Shouyi stepped forward, placing himself between Hakyryu and Li Buyi. He forced a smile. “Senior Brother, there are exceptions to everything. This monster isn’t some wild, untamed creature. It’s a house cat raised since birth by my Senior. It awakened its bloodline after the spiritual revival. It’s extremely obedient and has already signed a contract—there’s no threat.” “Junior Brother Wang, are you under some kind of mind control?” Li Buyi sneered. “You’re seriously spewing this kind of bullst? Have you forgotten Her Eminence’s teachings? That no monster is without threat? Do you even remember the rest of the saying—‘Not of our race...’** what comes after that?” Wang Shouyi was just about to respond— but Chen Huaian waved him off. “Enough. What are you blabbing on about? This guy’s just here to stir up trouble, isn’t he?” His tone was casual. “And if you’re here to pick a fight—then we’ll fight. If a fight doesn’t settle it, we’ll kill a few people. That usually cools hot-headed punks down.” Those words dropped like a boulder. Both Wang Shouyi and Li Buyi went completely silent for a second. Wang Shouyi gave Chen Huaian a desperate side-eye. His heart was in a panic. He’s trying to help the Senior—so why is the Senior adding fuel to the fire?! Li Buyi stared at Chen Huaian, expression shifting. Then he laughed: “To be so arrogant inside the Exorcist Division… you must be the famed Governor of C Province—Governor Chen?” “Are we fighting or not.” Chen Huaian gave him three flat words. Li Buyi’s smile faded. His face turned cold. So confident in your own strength, huh? He could sense Chen Huaian’s cultivation—late Foundation Establishment. There were four Golden Core cultivators present: Himself and one of his lackeys. The other two were Wang Shouyi and the beast. Wang Shouyi was his fellow disciple—he wouldn’t interfere. And if he did, it would be limited. So really, the Exorcist Division only had one combatant: the beast. He had two mid-Golden Core cultivators and two peak Foundation Establishment ones. No matter how he sliced it, they could handle one beast. And if they trampled this so-called Governor, they’d teach him a painful lesson. Show him that Immortality Seekers are to be revered, not questioned. “I am Li Buyi of Kunlun Immortal Palace.” He clasped his hands with a polite bow. But his words were anything but courteous: “Since Governor Chen insists on keeping that beast—I will be forced to take harsher measures!” With that, he drew his sword and pointed it at Chen Huaian. “Governor Chen, draw your sword!” Chen Huaian glanced at the grey mist swirling even heavier above Li Buyi’s head than Wang Shouyi’s. He smirked to himself. “To deal with you, this Venerable One doesn’t even need a sword.” His lips curled. One hand remained in his pocket, the other tapped twice on his phone screen. A subtle spatial fluctuation rippled before him. … …
