"Believe in yourself~~~~"

"Li~~ Please also believe in those children~~~ Although they may no longer trust humanity as a whole, they will still trust a very few outstanding individuals........"

"Ha!" Chu Ming's eyebrow twitched. "You mean you share this attitude, right?"

Totems and humans are ultimately not the same species!

Similar to the relationship between humans and demons in the world of cultivation, their relationship is truly difficult to define!

........

September 17, 2019, is a day that will be recorded in the Qin family genealogy.

According to the clan records, the appearance of the black dragon and the brilliance of the black bird marked the beginning of the Qin family's third great rise to power...

After spending a day at the Qin family home, while Lingling was still amused by the Qin family's hide-and-seek game, Chu Ming slipped away!

The Supreme Elder Qin Cangsong personally accompanied Chu Ming to an unknown little village, Xiao Liu Village!

The population is only about 300 households, but the cement roads are in decent condition.

The village is mostly populated by elderly people living alone; apart from students, you can hardly see any young people!

"Owner!"

Scott emerged from the shadows, bowing respectfully. "Sarang is inside the village!"

"But..." Scott hesitated for a moment, then continued, "All 1300-plus people in the village have been infected with Gu worms, and they could be..."

The Supreme Elder Qin Cangsong, who was already worried about the nearly thirty dark forces surrounding Xiaoliu Village, frowned. "These are hostages?"

This is exactly the style of the Black Vatican!

"Can't it be solved?" Chu Ming wondered. As an undead vampire, he was more skilled in underhanded tricks than his vampire predecessor!

"It can be solved, but only if the mother worm doesn't flare up!" Although Scott was puzzled by his master's seemingly unnecessary question, he still answered meticulously. This was the reason why Scott was able to maintain his position even as more and more of his kind joined his master's ranks!

I'm a professional dog!

"But if the Queen insect issues a command, then unless we expend our monarch's essence, there's no way to save those mortals!"

The logic is not hard to understand: killing is easy, saving lives is difficult!

Scott wouldn't even glance at these people who weren't even human, let alone mages, if they weren't his master's kind!

A bunch of ants!

"Then let's resolve this as quickly as possible!"

Chu Ming made no attempt to refute Elder Qin Cangsong's likely opinion, stating, "But if things are beyond our control, the mission must take precedence!"

"If I let them go here, or if I were to sacrifice my monarchic essence to save people, not to mention how you would complain about me!"

I cannot accept even the act of showing weakness!

Otherwise, does that mean that anyone who opposes me and S.H.I.E.L.D. can simply kidnap a few innocent hostages and walk away without a care in the world?

"If the cost of crime is low, doesn't that encourage more people to commit crimes?"

"That doesn't make sense!"

Chu Ming scoffed, "However, any criminal who murders an innocent person is guilty of the same crime as their entire family!"

"I need to put this in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s regulations!"

"I refuse to believe we can't stop this unhealthy trend!"

The Supreme Elder Qin Cangsong listened to Chu Ming's speech with some shock. How could it have such a Legalist style?

But I like it!

"Thank you for your understanding, my lord/young master." The Supreme Elder Qin Cangsong bowed deeply, his face showing indescribable sincerity and ease.

Fortunately, Chu Ming wasn't a saint who would protect moths from being caught in a trap.

"Hmm. Let's go in!" Chu Ming raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Look, aren't they welcoming us? It seems Sa Lang is getting impatient."

As soon as he finished speaking, the once bustling street fell into an eerie silence.

The villagers, who were being controlled by Fang Shaoli and Blue Bat, Sa Lang's henchmen, suddenly stopped what they were doing, their eyes instantly becoming dull and empty. They slowly turned their heads, their necks making a sickening "crackling" sound.

A greedy and terrifying expression appeared on his face, like a long-starved beast seeing its prey, staring intently at Chu Ming and the elder beside him.

The elder instinctively shrank back, his aged face filled with fury.

Chu Ming frowned in disgust, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, and muttered under his breath, "What a nuisance."

Scott, the observant undead vampire, understood the implication and narrowed his blood-red eyes slightly.

Wisps of black mist emanated from his body, like a giant net, enveloping the villagers who had been cursed.

The villagers touched by the mist trembled violently, and the greed on their faces was gradually replaced by pain.

Scott's sorcery is extremely powerful, but he is very measured in his actions!

In a short while, all the villagers collapsed to the ground, unable to resist, and fell into a coma.

Meanwhile, in a secret room in another part of the village, Sa Lang, Fang Shaoli, Blue Bat, and Hu Jin were sitting around a huge water mirror. The mirror clearly reflected the confrontation between Chu Ming and the villagers, as well as the entire process of Scott controlling the villagers.

"As expected, Chu Ming is ruthless enough not to be coerced!" Blue Bat said with a hint of regret.

He said angrily, "Damn Chu Ming, of the seven archbishops of the Black Vatican, three are causing trouble in China. Why are you targeting me so specifically?"

How could my meticulously planned grand ceremony in the ancient capital be ruined like this?

Fang Shaoli gently tossed her long hair, a sly glint in her eyes, and said with a charming smile, "Why is Lord Salang angry?"

Although Chu Ming is quite capable, we are not to be trifled with.

Why don't we escalate our efforts and catch them off guard, letting them know the consequences of offending us!

As he spoke, a bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes, as if he had spotted the prey's greed!

Blue Bat smiled gently. "Sister Li is right. Chu Ming doesn't care about the names of the people in a village, but what if we control the people of a city?"

Even if Chu Ming were ruthless enough, other righteous forces would step in to stop him!

Her words were all in support of Fang Shaoli, making her seem like a close friend supporting her best friend!

However, Fang Shaoli, who knew all too well the deadly poison hidden behind the ever-present gentle smile of the blue bat, was completely unmoved. "Hmph!"

"Is my sister subtly implying that my previous attempt to resolve the Hive outbreak was unsuccessful?"

As a disciple and student of Sa Lang, Blue Bat was trusted by Sa Lang and often served as a liaison and monitor!

Fang Shaoli, whose grades were slightly worse, had no choice but to embark on a path of becoming neither human nor demon, a hybrid of human and insect!

Naturally, Fang Shaoli was the leader of the demon insect faction under Bishop Salang. However, her several major actions failed to stir up any trouble, which made many believers have some reservations!

Praising the powerful and belittling the weak—this isn't the exclusive domain of any one party!
