Ch 17: His name alone was enough to make those who bullied men and women uneasy!
“Chief, so what are we now?” A Innate expert asked with some hesitation.
Ji Xiaolan closed his eyes slightly, countless thoughts flashing through his mind. Finally, he exhaled lightly, his face calm and solemn, “Naturally, we are waiting for Your Majesty’s notification!”
“No, what I mean is!” The Innate expert’s eyes twitched. “Are we going back now?”
Ji Xiaolan paced back and forth, biting his lip, “Let’s start mobilizing… all the weapons prepared before should be distributed! Although I have great trust in Your Majesty’s strength… we still need to prepare for the worst!”
After a brief silence, those Innate experts and regional hall leaders who had been excited and thrilled by Chu Mo’s words became solemn, and finally sparsely said, “Yes!”
◈◈◈
One month later.
Kyoto.
Inside a restaurant.
“This world now!” A demon descendant with a braided demon hair and a birdcage in his hand shook his head with a hint of solemnity.
“Damn it!” The demon descendant opposite him suddenly slapped the table, creating dense cracks, but beneath his furious expression, there was a hint of unease. “From Jiangnan to Shandong, from Shandong to Henan, and from Henan to Hebei…”
“That Evil God, he’s really made up his mind this time… he’s serious!”
“This God of Slaughter, is he really not afraid of death! Does he really think that Emperor Qianlong, that Great Qing, can’t do anything about him!!”
Over the past month, news from the south had caused a stir throughout the city.
That God of Slaughter, recognized by the world, no longer acted like he did in the past year, causing trouble every month, mainly in the south, south of the Yangtze River! Instead, he very steadily moved from Jiangnan to Shandong, and then to Henan…
His itinerary was too clear, as if he was provoking, or simply flaunting his existence, informing the entire world that he had completely exterminated all the demons in Jiangnan, Shandong, and the Two Rivers region, and that he was about to come to Kyoto to exterminate the demon descendants in Kyoto.
At this moment, the number of demons in Kyoto had reached its highest in a century. A large number of demons from several provinces had fled to Kyoto…
Although the number of demons in Kyoto was huge, they were now uneasy… Looking at that demon human gradually approaching Kyoto in the news, some were so frightened that they were even considering whether to flee to the northeast next.
The waiter carefully served dishes to the two demon descendants.
“Are you mocking me?” The demon descendant who had cracked the table suddenly looked up, staring at the waiter with a ferocious expression. “Do you think I’m scared out of my wits? Even a lowly thing like you dares to look down on me!”
“Ah… Sir, I!” The waiter was dumbfounded, he hadn’t done anything. Before he could explain, the demon descendant grabbed him, raised his hand high, but before he could smash it down, the waiter screamed.
“You dare to kill me… the God of Slaughter will definitely kill you when he comes! The God of Slaughter specializes in killing demons like you who kill people indiscriminately!”
The waiter’s voice trembled, and his legs were shaking. If he hadn’t been grabbed by the demon descendant’s collar, he would have collapsed to the ground. But he stared straight at the demon descendant, his eyes were firm despite the fear on his face.
The demon descendant’s face turned green with anger, but he couldn’t bring himself to throw that punch. He tried to throw it several times but stopped. Finally, he let go and threw the waiter to the ground, where he tumbled several times.
“Spreading rumors to confuse the public, listening to your words! You actually admire the previous dynasty, just you wait… you just wait for me!!!” The demon descendant cursed and raged.
The demon opposite him also looked a little ugly. He hurriedly took out a few copper coins from his pocket, threw them on the table, grabbed his friend’s shoulder, and fled straight outside.
After a brief silence, applause suddenly rang out, from sparse to extremely dense.
“Li kid, you’re the best!” A man in cloth clothes gave the waiter a thumbs up.
◈◈◈
“I was forced to do it… alas, these demons… sirs, are getting more and more irritable!” The waiter shook his head with a sigh. He cleared the table while complaining.
“Some of my friends are because of… these sirs, alas… Fortunately, I learned from a friend that if you face their unreasonable anger and say those words, there’s a high chance of saving your life… I was just trying it out!”
The waiter was not happy. Because he knew that the constables would soon come to arrest him… If he hadn’t been forced to, he wouldn’t have done such a thing!
Besides, although he had escaped with his life, facing the constables who would soon arrive… he also felt that his life was almost over.
In the end, it was just a matter of dying sooner or later.
After a brief silence, the atmosphere in the restaurant became strange.
“Speaking of… this God of Slaughter is indeed protecting us common people!” An old man with white hair suddenly spoke.
“The God of Slaughter is a madman,” a gentry in gorgeous clothes said with an ugly expression. “If he only killed those… that would be fine! But look, he even kills those local celebrities without exception! And he distributes the wealth of the celebrities to those troublemakers.”
The gentry wrung his hands in grief, “How is this protecting us common people?? This is clearly killing us! He’s probably a figure like the Overlord of the previous dynasty… I think ah, this kind of brutal and violent person will eventually be punished by the Sage Emperor!”
Obviously, the gentry thought that he was the common people. As for those peasants… they were just troublemakers!
The waiter’s lips moved, obviously dissatisfied and wanting to say something for the God of Slaughter. But considering the difference in status between him and this old customer, and that the constables would soon come to find him, he sighed and said nothing.
The expressions of the many customers on the scene varied, some agreeing and some regretting.
“That’s true!”
“Alas, why doesn’t he just kill those… and has to attack us humans?”
“There are rumors that this God of Slaughter is from the World Society? Maybe it’s the World Society that corrupted the God of Slaughter!!”
“What a pity! What a pity!”
“Alas, when will we, the common people who live honestly… when will we welcome a truly upright official who will stand up for us!”
“……”
Corner.
Chu Mo silently drank a pot of tea. The Change Face Method allowed him to use subconscious suggestion to prevent others from thinking that it was unusual for a child like him to be drinking tea alone here.
When that demon descendant was about to attack, he was ready to take action, but he didn’t expect… his name alone would scare those two demons away in a panic…
Although, on closer inspection, it was indeed quite reasonable…
“This is similar to the Qing Dynasty in my previous life!” Chu Mo took another sip of tea. “The demon Eight Banners, once known for their barbarity and ferocity, were eventually corrupted by a comfortable life, losing their courage and only knowing how to bully the weak and fear the strong.”
