The old man left as hurriedly as he had come, leaving no trace behind.
Hou Niao hadn't asked him why he needed to kill those Demon Beasts. He was no longer the naive young cultivator who needed to justify his actions for peace of mind. He killed them, and that was that—what reason was needed?
As with Demon Beasts, so it was with humans.
Furthermore, the old man wasn't a bloodthirsty person. Back when he was chased around the world by the Wu Sect after leaving the Anhe Daoist Sect, he hadn't killed anyone either.
After the old man left, Hou Niao carefully checked his surroundings for any spying eyes before reverting from Hao Ren's appearance and changing himself into the guise of the Mosquito Daoist. Looking into the mirror, he saw nothing but an extremely sleazy character.
His chin was very sharp, protruding, with an overbite.
He felt his abilities weren't affected in any way, but couldn't detect any special distinguishing traits either?
