Exactly. As neutral as a doctor can be.

To be fair, that's the queen that instantly spark the lust of her knights with just a small touch of demonic energy.

Remember, this was the time just before the MC became the LAST SURVIVOR in his world. And even till then, his world isn't saved, and he was driven into isolation and madness. The only mercy he had left were the gods who had faith in him, and his sanity intact.

Because the murim alliance is the biggest faction in the middle floors, even if it was governed by NPCs (aka Tower Residents, aka foreign beings). Imagine the difficulty of that region suddenly shoot up to the final boss level, would anyone continue climbing the tower by then?

Remember what happens when a tower level is left unconquered for too long... an outbreak will happen.

Especially after he talked shit of the rundown restaurant they just entered even before tasting the food. Only shallow people take priority of the restaurant's appearances.

The funnier part was MC told him to shut up as if he know he's going to say something stupid again - and he foresaw that!

Remember, his future before the MC's regression was the left hand of an orthodox unified sect who gave the MC pissless, shitless and sleepless nights. He definitely deserved every MC's throw of disrespect against him. Now that he even talked shit about the restaurant they're visiting before even tasting the food, he totally asked for even the Sword Demon's ounce of disrespect.

The Sword Demon's "shut up" hit hardest. If you don't know any better restaurants, then don't speak ill of the one you're currently visitng.

And what's worse was that he's wielding one of the 4 legendary weapons on top of being one of the worst demon generals. He was way beyond blessed by the plot armor than the MC.

But here's the thing, he's a side character, there is no plot armor for him.

For those who don't know: Biyu is a direct lingual of the Chinese word 比喻, which means METAPHOR, as the translator has written note. It has two meanings:
1. A figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.
2. A representative or symbol of something else.

Its a great foreshadow that Biyu will be a symbol of things to come but have no direct nor derelict influence to it.

That's the thing. None of the people from murim came or were raised from ordinary means, so its unusually profound when they realize its actually something so simple an ordinary person can comprehend and was part of their daily lives. Take the doctor for example, he's responsible for every patient who comes to his door, but he can't do much beyond that very door; While for martial artists, they trained to fight and live to NOT wind up being in a clinic in the end. The moment they entered his door is akin to accepting their own fatality and weakness, which not many are willing to do so.

Spare me, its hard to give him attention when there are buddies with greater development than him.

There is a saying in Buddism and in countless cultivation / murim related stories: You cannot reach nirvana (in Chinese there are various translations to this word, in this case would be the peak and pinnacle of something) if you cannot let go of your inner demons.

Remember, it was the insight of this doctor that MC took a great liking to. He even once thought what a fruitful life would the Poison Demon give others have he not gone through the tragedies he would have - and this chapter is the greatest proof there is.

The pervert of perverts, the hopelessly lustful idiot - SHIT DOG IS HERE!!!

Indeed, that's why the MC liked the doctor, even before his regression.

Indeed, and now the doctor heals others instead of killing them, giving insights instead of keeping them.

Indeed. But I don't think they'll get hostile treatment. Remember, MC recognizes divinity.

You're just obsessive of little T-Bone. But yeah, we need T-Bone to shine.
