"Are you wondering why I started a war over such a small matter?" Su Xuan and Yu Lingxin rode side by side, thinking to themselves, "After killing the envoy, we can get away with it, but the people can't. If the envoy has accomplices, the people will definitely be angered, leading to a greater tragedy."

"To be a hero is not just to eliminate the evildoers you encounter, but to catch them all in one fell swoop. Only in this way can we prevent future troubles."

A hint of realization flashed across Yu Lingxin's eyes, and she nodded in agreement.

Complete the task of eradicating evil!

"Similarly, before you do something chivalrous, you must understand the whole story, otherwise it is easy to end up doing something bad with good intentions."

Yu Lingxin looked at Su Xuan with a little confusion.

Su Xuan smiled and hypothetically said, "If a fierce-looking man with a leopard-like body and a hairy beard is chasing a slender and weak woman, would you subconsciously think that man is a bad guy?"

Yu Ling is beautiful and intelligent, with a sharp mind, and she instantly understood what Su Xuan meant.

"Brother Su Xuan, have you ever experienced something like this before?" Her eyes lit up and she looked very curious again.

"I guess so." Su Xuan nodded. He had seen countless such things in his previous life.

People tend to sympathize with the weak. Some people with bad intentions will pretend to be victims and use public opinion to achieve their own goals. For example, in the Huijun incident, internet celebrities played the victim, established a false persona, said one thing in front and another behind the back, and there are countless such cases.

He did not tell these to Yu Lingxin, but casually told the story of Yue Buqun in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

He appears to be a gentleman on the surface, but in reality he is a hypocrite.

After hearing this, Yu Lingxin despised them, but at the same time she couldn't help but sympathize with Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan.

Practicing martial arts to the point of cutting off one's vital organs is truly a form of insanity. From the perspective of the balance of yin and yang, the Book of the Sword of Exorcism is a low-level martial art.

The two of them walked and stopped along the way, passing through the vast bamboo sea in southern Sichuan, the mountain and water scenery of Songpinggou, and the vast misty waves of Guangwu Mountain. Sometimes they met hospitable tribes and would dance and sing around the campfire with them.

The tribe where they were temporarily staying was made up of the Ran people. Dozens of Ran people gathered around a blazing bonfire, performing a witch dance and holding a sacrifice. They had pious eyes and were muttering to themselves, as if they were praying for something.

Su Xuan also took advantage of the atmosphere of the bonfire party and pulled Yu Lingxin to dance together.

Since he had three dance masters, Yan Lingji, Xue Nu and Mi Lian, by his side, he learned a lot from them.

The bright bonfire reflected on the girl's cheeks, as gorgeous as the sunset.

Yu Lingxin felt her cheeks getting hot, and whispered, "They are performing a witch dance that is specifically used to dispel disasters. If my guess is correct, they are most likely encountering a problem that is difficult to solve."

Su Xuan glanced at the Ran people who were dancing with the drums, then looked at Yu Lingxin, and said with a smile, "From now on, I will call you the kind-hearted Saint Yu, how about that?"

The girl gently kicked Su Xuan and pouted in embarrassment, "Let you make fun of me, I will give you a nickname someday."

Su Xuan shrugged. "It seems that we can't just ignore it. Who asked them to treat us with good wine and good food?"

The patriarch of the Ran tribe is named Ran Yue, an old man with bronze skin and wrinkles on his face.

The old man sat in front of the campfire, with a sad face telling Su Xuan and the others about the strange things that had happened recently.

"We, the Ran tribe, have always made a living by hunting and fishing. However, recently, young and strong men in the tribe who went out hunting alone have mysteriously disappeared one after another. After noticing this phenomenon, I ordered three people to go out together, but this phenomenon still happens from time to time. According to the memories of those who went with us, there is a man-eating monster hiding deep in the woods. No one can see its person or shape. Only a dark shadow can be vaguely seen, like a ghost. Our companions were only a dozen meters away, but after they let out a miserable howl, when others arrived, there was no trace of them except a pool of blood."

The old man frowned, worried. "Recently, the people in the tribe have been in a state of panic. If this continues, the fear in their hearts will overwhelm them first. At that time, the tribe will inevitably fall apart."

"I know I must do something to save my tribe. I held the sacrifice in the hope of using the power of the gods to eliminate evil. I invited you to also use your strength. I apologize to you here for my selfishness."

Yu Lingxin's expression was moved. As the Saintess of Mount Shu, she could personally feel the old man's devotion to the tribe. She supported the old man as he bowed and apologized, "Chief, it's okay. If possible, let us do our part."

“Although we may not be able to solve it, we will definitely try our best.”

"This..." The old man looked hesitant, "Do you have any special methods or means? The warriors of our tribe are unable to resist, and you..."

Yu Lingxin grasped the old man's rough hand and said, "Don't worry, clan leader. We are much stronger than ordinary people. Even if we can't defeat the monster, we can still protect ourselves."

With Su Xuan supporting her, she wasn't worried at all about not being able to deal with the monster.

"Let's give it a try." Su Xuan smiled gently at the old man. He still had some good feelings towards the old man in front of him.

The old man didn't know why he felt relieved. "Thank you both."

Then he reminded, "Remember to do things within your ability, and don't do things just to protect yourself."

Yu Lingxin nodded seriously. After learning about the monster's movements and the time of the crime from the old man, she immediately took Su Xuan to hunt the monster together.

In the dark night, the two walked towards the depths of the dense forest, going further and further away.

"Brother Su Xuan, what do you think the monster that the patriarch is talking about is?" Yu Lingxin asked softly.

"They are all just ordinary people. People with advanced lightness skills can easily do this." Su Xuan answered casually.

"Then why did he brutally kill so many people?" Yu Lingxin's eyes flashed with anger, "He didn't even let pregnant women go!"

Su Xuan sighed. For those who are indifferent to life, killing may just be a hobby or a sudden idea. For them, killing may be as normal as drinking water and eating.

Such people have lost their humanity and act solely based on their own preferences.

"Brother Su Xuan, I will act as bait to attract the monster to show up, and you will follow me secretly. After it appears, we will subdue it together." Yu Lingxin suggested.

"By the way, Brother Su Xuan, please don't compete with me for the bait. I'm a weak woman, so I can definitely make the monsters let down their guard."

Su Xuan shook his head. "If you were alone, it would make it suspicious. It's normal for the two of us, a man and a woman, to go into the woods together."

Yu Lingxin's face turned slightly red, and she couldn't help but spit. The nervousness in her heart disappeared without a trace after Su Xuan's jokes.
