Ryu strolled through the city, deploying his Void Spiritual Sense in full force. He was clearly looking for something.
He didn't even flinch as he felt the Heavenly Favor of the two guards roll into his body. It wasn't a bad amount enough, just about 10% of what he would expect from a usual Ruin he cleared. Killing people was quite an effective method of gaining Heavenly Favor as well, it was just a shame that he couldn't do so within the city.
The only reason he had stopped before was precisely so that he would be outside the city limits when he killed. If he killed within the city limits, he would be banned from this city.
Of course, it was possible to be unbanned, but he would have to pay an astronomical amount of Heavenly Favor just to clear his name. That amount would probably wipe out as much as a tenth of the Heavenly Favor he had accumulated in the last month, it simply wasn't worth it.
