A Solemn Scene

The situation felt a bit awkward.

It was like secretly planning some mischief with a friend against their dad, only to suddenly turn around and realize that the friend's dad was standing right behind them.

"Ahem," Song Shuhang cleared his throat and said, "Fellow Daoist, you've done well. Now, I'll take care of the malevolence in this place! Please step back and release the sealing barrier."

Wu Yinzi let out a sigh of relief. He stood up and gave a nod to Song Shuhang. "On behalf of the local residents, I want to express our gratitude to you, Senior Tyrannical Song for helping us."

Regardless of why Senior Tyrannical Song had come out to deal with this 'malevolence,' it was a great stroke of luck for the creatures living here.

"No need to thank me. In fact, I'm just doing my best to keep my hometown safe," Song Shuhang said with a smile.

...

Wu Yinzi took a few steps back and stopped maintaining the barrier.
