During the Qin Dynasty, he was in charge of the net.

A person only has one heart; who can truly have two hearts?

People often use the term "heartless" to describe those who act without considering the consequences.

But they are not truly heartless; they simply haven't put their hearts into action.

One who is single-minded can only achieve one goal, while one who is three-minded can achieve two goals.

At this moment, Wu Nian seemed to have truly attained duality.

It has two meanings, and it is also the second meaning.

He sensed a second thought within his heart.

The voice of this thought was so loud that it overwhelmed everyone else, freeing him from the disturbances of the outside world.

Now, the voice made him retract all his chains and submit to him.

Wu Nian knew that the voice came from the deepest part of the abyss.

He had a vague feeling that, following this being, he would never lack killing in the future.

This is exactly what he wants; killing might remind him of something more.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wu Nian retrieved all the black iron chains, knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and quietly waited for that being.

Seeing Wu Nian's reaction, Li Ji understood that this humanoid weapon had completely become his weapon.

What Wu Nian drank was, of course, his Yue Snake Life Gu.

Moreover, it is a pure Yue Snake Life Gu containing a drop of his essence blood.

Unlike everyone else before him, this Yue Snake Life Gu did not lie dormant within his body, but rather coexisted with it.

The small snake burrowed directly into Wunian's heart, sharing a symbiotic relationship with him.

For every ten parts of blood pumped out by the mindless heart, the little snake receives one part.

The more blood the snake receives, the faster it grows, and the stronger Wunian's heart becomes.

Ordinary people simply cannot do this. The moment the snake burrows into their heart, the pain will cause them to faint, their hearts will convulse instantly, and their blood will freeze.

Only an anomaly like Wu Nian, who survived the Seven Soul-Refining Needles, could do this without fear of pain.

When Li Ji completely withdrew his aura and the Mingshui Seed in his dantian stopped spinning rapidly, the abyss of water that had been pressing down on everyone also dissipated.

Those present were like drowning people who had struggled for a long time and finally climbed ashore; they all hung their heads, their chests and abdomens heaving violently, cold sweat dripping down their foreheads, and they were breathing heavily and greedily.

Apart from Li Ji, only two people were able to maintain a semblance of calm after the water abyss was removed.

One of them is Tian Yi, who has three drops of Li Ji's essence blood in her body, far exceeding the others present. She has the deepest connection with Li Ji, so she is the least affected by the interference.

The other is Wunian, an anomaly who is completely symbiotic with the Yue She Life Gu.

While the others were still breathing, Wu Nian looked up and saw Li Ji in front of him, realizing that the person in front of him was the one who had given him a second heart.

He memorized Li Ji's appearance and aura—his long, dark blue hair and the heavy, misty atmosphere around him—he would never forget them.

When the group of subordinates at the execution platform finally managed to calm themselves down and looked up, they were all shocked.

The monster that had previously been cold and bloodthirsty, capable of bringing the heavy black iron chains to life, now had seventy percent of its ferocity gone and knelt before their leader.

The monster's head was bowed low, its jagged body was taut and straight, and its hands hung obediently at its sides, looking almost submissive.

The subordinates at the execution platform in the stone cell froze in place, their eyes fixed on the scene, their breathing becoming unsteady once again.

Everyone knew how bloodthirsty and violent this monster had been before. Not only did it bite off an executioner's finger when its mask was removed, but it also became even more ferocious and terrifying after all its chains were removed.

But the monster they feared so much was now bowing its head and obediently lying at the man's feet.

What exactly happened in between?

All they remembered was that the person from before no longer concealed their aura, and their powerful true energy swept across the entire stone prison, making them feel as if they had fallen into a pitch-black body of water, unable to perceive their surroundings.

When the waters receded, everyone witnessed this disturbing scene.

It's unease, not peace of mind.

Logically speaking, such a powerful puppet, submitting to their platform master and belonging to their Dark Execution Platform, should at least make them feel more at ease, if not overjoyed.

However, the one kneeling on the ground at this moment was not a puppet that could obey orders, but a mad monster that everyone could see.

The more docile the monster became, the stronger the unease in everyone's hearts grew.

It's like a venomous snake; no matter how many times it coils around its owner's arm, the onlooker still can't feel at ease and can only want to stay away.

Because this is a snake, and a highly venomous one at that. By nature, it is the instinct of a venomous snake to inject venom into those who come near it.

Perhaps their leader was not afraid of the snake's bite, but none of the hunters and executioners present wanted to get too close to such a venomous snake.

Even though the venomous snake was behaving very submissively at this moment, with its head bowed low.

From this perspective, the fact that their leader took such a mad monster under his command is itself insane.

Perhaps only a larger venomous snake can subdue a venomous snake.

In this uneasy atmosphere, Li Ji's indifferent voice reached Wu Wo's ears:

"Wuwo, your information is indeed valuable."

"I will no longer pursue the names that your Iron Blood Alliance wants to protect."

Upon hearing this, Wu Wo breathed a sigh of relief, his clenched fists relaxed, and the suffocating feeling in his chest began to slowly dissipate. Just when he thought he had escaped a disaster, he heard again:

"Although your name will no longer be pursued, you will be punished to death for leaking information about the Luo Wang organization."

However, I can give you a chance.

You have one day to escape their trap, and after that, they will officially begin their hunt for you.

At this point, Li Ji pointed to the group of silent hunters:

"And whoever brings back the head of the man without a body will take his place and become the next hunting leader."

Upon hearing this, the hunters all began to look at Wuwo with strange eyes.

Someone was watching Wuwo's ​​vital points, trying to find his weaknesses so that he could hunt him down later.

Someone secretly noted down Wuwo's ​​scent and clothing, just to make it easier to track him a day later.

The change in identity was so sudden that Wuwo, who was the leader of the hunting team, has now become the prey.

However, the hunters all took it for granted, and they had no intention of showing any mercy to Wuwo, who had once been a fellow hunter.

In the net of empathy, those who can empathize are already dead.

They would be terrified of their masters or those of the highest rank, and they would also be wary of a mad monster like Wu Nian, but they would not have the thought of pleading for Wu Wo or letting him off the hook.

Even Wuwo himself quickly accepted this reality.

His face was still somewhat pale, but his body was no longer trembling as much.

He knew that his deal with the platform owner was over, and what followed was the reckoning for violating the rules of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).

The only good news is that the platform owner won't personally intervene.

If that person intervenes, he doesn't know how many days he might survive.

However, when facing ordinary hunters, Wu Wu was confident that he could survive for one or two months, or even longer.

After all, he was very familiar with the hunters' methods, and perhaps he could actually survive against them.

Wuwo left.

His footsteps trod on the cold stone slabs, with rows of dark stone cells on both sides, deathly silence swallowing everything.

He suddenly turned around.

In the dimly lit corridor, he saw the master of the platform standing where the candlelight and shadow met, his unique deep blue eyes leaving a deep impression on him.

Behind him stood the monster wearing a black and red mask, staring intently at his every move.

The hunters surrounding the platform master were all hidden in the shadows, their full forms unseen, only cold, indifferent gazes piercing through them.

There was scrutiny, anticipation, and the excitement of an impending hunt.

Wu shuddered, dared not look back, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
