Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 173 Killing is also saving people

To collect money, to eliminate disasters for others.

These eight words are said openly and are considered the most widely used motto in the killer world.

The question is whose money are you collecting and what kind of disaster are you trying to eliminate?

Yun Yi naturally wouldn't believe such perfunctory words, and the smile on his face became even wider. "Can't you talk properly? Then I can only use some tricks."

The Ghost Young Master had previously acted superior to the secular martial artists, but now he seemed to have become a pitiful seven-year-old child. Tears welled up in his eyes as he said, "Every industry has its own rules. There are some things I really can't say!"

"When you meet a weak person, you rely on your strength. When you meet a strong person, you rely on the rules. You have a good plan." Yun Yi flicked the forehead of the man at his feet, the threat was self-evident. "I will ask you a few questions. Just answer honestly and nod or shake your head."

The ghost boy nodded repeatedly, which meant he agreed.

Yun Yi first asked, "Someone hired you to cut off the swordsman's right arm without killing them, so that they can no longer use a sword."

"Yeah." The ghost boy nodded hurriedly, thinking that he was not breaking the rules.

He guessed it himself, I didn't tell him!
Yun Yi seemed to be muttering to himself, "But why didn't he just kill the man outright? Maybe he was afraid. To be able to hire someone like you at the Qi Refining stage, he must have some understanding of the world of cultivation... Let me think, is he coming for the Sword Casting Villa? Is he not killing people because he's afraid of being too murderous and causing displeasure from the sect?"

The ghost boy nodded again.

"This man's actions are truly unscrupulous. Does he think that if he cuts off the arms of the swordsmen in the city, no one will compete with him for the qualification to join the sect?"

The Ghost Young Master finally couldn't help but speak: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, everything is worth it."

Yun Yi shook his head: "With such a mentality, even if he enters the villa, he won't go far."

"Whether it lasts long or not is another matter, but at least we have to get in first."

"Why are you suddenly willing to speak? Have your accomplices surrounded this place?"

"My son is brilliant!"

Yun Yi stood up and scanned the surrounding mountains and forests, and found that there were many human figures among them, and there were indeed many killers hiding there.

The Ghost Prince, still trapped in the dirt, looked up and shouted, "To be honest with you, we are assassins from Tianyi Tower. We take money from people and help them get rid of disasters. If you retreat when you see the difficulty, perhaps we can still give you a chance to live. After all, we don't do business at a loss."

Tianyi Tower? It's a big name, but unfortunately Yun Yi has never heard of it. It should be a killer organization from thousands of years ago. Such organizations never last long. Maybe one day they will mess with the wrong people and be wiped out.

The Ghost Master continued, "Tianyi Tower has two divisions: the Earth Division. The Earth Division is staffed by experts at the Qi Refining Realm, while the Heaven Division boasts experts at the Spiritual Transformation Realm. I see you're also a cultivator, so if you know what's best for you, step back and don't get involved."

If it were according to Yun Yi's usual temper, he really wouldn't bother to take on this hot potato. However, he was in a bad mood today, and was worried about how to save people with the sword. So after hearing what the Ghost Master said, he didn't want to leave.

"Hey, are you even paying attention to me?!"

Yun Yi thought he was too noisy, so he kicked some sand at the Ghost Young Master's mouth, sealing it immediately. The world became quiet.

After doing all this, he habitually wanted to take the sword, but then he remembered that Fang Yuan was still staying at the Sword Casting Villa, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Yun Yi said calmly, "I've taken on the Xu family's karma. Show me what tricks you have."

As soon as he finished speaking, densely packed hidden weapons shot out from the woods.

Yun Yi carefully felt it first, and found that there was no cultivator's magic weapon mixed in it, so he casually broke it. But then a dagger suddenly appeared at the back of Yun Yi's neck, stabbing hard, intending to directly chop off the man's head.

It was a pity that Yun Yi was born in the "Demon Sect" in his previous life, and was too familiar with the despicable methods of these killers. He was prepared for this. One hand just reached behind his head and pinched the dagger with two fingers.

The killer failed in his attack and immediately dropped his magic weapon and fled.

Yun Yi was too lazy to chase after him, so he broke the dagger into two pieces and flicked the pointed end lightly. Then, someone on an old tree in the distance let out a cry of pain and his body suddenly fell down.

The gap between the secular world and the cultivators is really too big. People like Ghost Young Master are top masters who have already cultivated "a breath of true energy" in the secular world, but now when facing Yun Yi, they are no different from children.

The killers in the forest weighed their own strengths and felt that they might not be able to capture this man, so they decided not to take action, but to escape quietly and scatter like birds and beasts.

Yun Yi watched those people fleeing away with cold eyes, and did not pursue them. Now, the way he looked at those people was just like how he looked at himself in the eyes of the Hedao Realm.

No different from an ant.

The ghost boy on the ground made a "mumbling" sound, as if he wanted to say something, so Yun Yi kicked another stone at him to unlock the seal on his mouth.

The Ghost Young Master repeatedly spat out mud from his mouth and said, "Although I don't know who you are, I still want to warn you. You won't be able to save the Xu family father and daughter by doing this. Besides, his family originally only lost an arm, but now there may be many more lives lost."

Yun Yi didn't say anything, seeming to be lost in thought.

The Ghost Young Master added, "This world is a mess. It's not that easy to be a hero and do good. You may be happy now, but you can't protect them forever. One day, when you're gone, Tianyi Tower will naturally collect on this debt with interest."

There is some truth in this.

Whether on the mountain or at the foot of the mountain, everyone wants to take revenge, but this freedom must be accompanied by blood.

The Ghost Young Master threatened, "Stop it! You can't save the Xu family, and you're more likely to bring disaster upon yourself. Xu Shuangshuang calls you a miracle doctor. That title alone is enough for Tianyi Tower to find out that you live in Wufeng Mountain and have a wife who never leaves the house!"

After hearing this, Yun Yi couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, sighing: "It is difficult for a Buddha to save a dying ghost, and it is difficult for a sword to save a dying person."

Ghost Prince: "If you figure it out, please let me out!"

Yun Yi: "I have figured it out, but I didn't say I would let you out."

"?"

"People who practice for a long time often forget one thing: 'I'm a person too.' Therefore, when fighting for life and death with others, saving yourself is saving others, and killing is saving others. It turns out I've been thinking wrong all along. The way of the sword is not just about killing, it can also be about saving others."

"Are you obsessed?"

"I just want to tell you that I can actually save the Xu family father and daughter. As long as I find the root cause of this massacre, such as the people who hired you, such as Tianyi Tower, as long as I talk to them and set rules, if they still don't agree, I can kill them all. That's saving people."

The Ghost Prince suddenly became anxious: "If God wants to kill someone, that's God's will! How can you save them?"

Yun Yi suddenly made a "hush" gesture, pointed to the sky, and shook his head gently.

The meaning is self-evident.
