Excessive ferocity due to caution

After saying this, Zhao Yi exuded an unprecedentedly terrifying aura.

In his eyes, the rivers and seas surged.

That unwavering determination to hide in the mountains and the sea gave Jin Shiyue a tremendous sense of power and awe.

"I suddenly understand... why the Qin and Jiang families chose to help you."

Now the moon slowly spoke.

Han was silent for a moment, then said to Zhao Yi:

"If you want to have surgery, I won't object."

"We old fogies, no matter how reluctant or stubborn we are, will eventually leave..."

"There is no one who wields the knife forever."

"It will eventually change hands."

"If you're holding a knife and want to do things that we old folks wouldn't dare to do, then you'd better be prepared to bear the consequences."

Zhao Yi shrugged:

"I don't care."

Han and Zhao Yi stared at each other for a long time, and finally Han said:

"One last question: Would you sacrifice yourself for humanity?"

Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment.

"Won't."

He replied.

Han laughed.

"Very good...very good."

"The capital is now in your hands."

"When the people of the Skull Church arrive... don't let us old folks down."

Zhao Yi smiled slightly:

"Absolutely not."

"I can show it to you later."

With Han's consent, the connection was severed, and the token in Zhao Yi's hand fell silent.

Jin Shiyue lit a cigarette, her hands trembling:

"I don't even know what the point of this trip is."

"It was originally intended to prevent the church from coming."

"And now..."

Zhao Yi asked:

"Why not fight back?"

Today, Yue speaks frankly and without reservation:

"fear death."

Why be afraid of death?

"Different people have different reasons. As for me... I'm afraid I'll never see Meng Jiao again."

Mentioning Meng Jiao brought a renewed sense of hope to Jin Shiyue's once-hypocritical face.

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

Isn't unrequited love boring?

"Especially someone like you, what can't you find?"

The moon is squinting now, its elegance tinged with bitterness:

"Some people just live because of some naive ideas."

"I'm that kind of person."

"I like her, but she doesn't like me."

"But I still like her."

Zhao Yi grinned:

"It doesn't sound like it's going to end well."

Today, the moon sighs:

"How many truly beautiful stories are there in the world?"

"Since I've let my emotions run wild, I'll accept the consequences."

After a pause, Jin Shiyue continued:

"Lord Han is a very powerful figure in Tianhai Pass. Since he has agreed that you can make bold moves in the capital, then you no longer have any concerns."

"Actually, I have thought about how you will establish yourself in the capital city amidst the cracks between the four major families in the future."

"But I didn't expect the situation to change so quickly."

"It hasn't been that long, and you've already... gotten to this point."

His words conveyed disbelief.

Zhao Yi blew a breath, and the cigarette ash on the table in front of him was blown far away.

He stood up.

"I checked the weather forecast."

"It's going to rain in the capital in two days."

After Zhao Yi left, Jin Shiyue frowned and took out her phone to check.

His eyebrows quickly relaxed.

"What a heavy rain."

...

The capital city, the Jie Sect.

Tens of thousands of assassins have assembled, standing menacingly in the Qin family's forbidden area, each with a blade and a mask at their waist.

It will rain in the capital tonight.

"Manager Wu said the heavier the rain, the better."

The leader of the black-clad assassins spoke in a deathly calm tone.

"Gentlemen, do not disappoint the steward... do not disappoint the leader."

Upon hearing this, tens of thousands of assassins placed their hands on the swords at their waists without uttering a word, yet their fighting spirit and killing intent filled the entire Qin family, soaring to the heavens!

...

Zhao Yi glanced at the long list in his hand, a strange smile on his face.

"There are still quite a few remaining forces in the Jiang, Li, and Lü families."

"Although all the leaders of their family died in battle, the family's foundation was not severed."

"I'll personally lead the team to deal with these difficult families."

"As for the rest of the people in the capital who are to be killed... do not let any of them go."

Yunfang stood beside Zhao Yi, seemingly reluctant to let him go.

"How many families will be torn apart, how many women will lose their husbands, and how many children will lose their parents? Isn't this too cruel?"

Zhao Yi said calmly:

"Do you think the Church of the Skull will let them go after they enter the capital?"

"You think I killed half the people, but if the Skull Church had entered the capital, they would have killed everyone, and I stopped them... Doesn't that mean I also saved half the people?"

Yunfang was speechless.

Zhao Yi continued:

"No one is born to be a savior."

"If you want me to continue the human federation in the capital, then these half of the lives are the bargaining chips I'll take."

Yunfang was silent for a moment:

"You dislike the evil in them, right?"

"Isn't there any other way?"

Zhao turned his head to the side and said seriously:

"You can think about it."

"Remember to let me know when you figure out the answer."

"And if you haven't figured it out, then don't stop me."

"Because there is no faster way than killing."

"It's not a permanent solution... but it's great."

Yunfang was stunned.

When he came to his senses again, Zhao Yi had already disappeared.

She gazed into the distance with a complex expression, looking at the assembled assassins of the Jie Sect below.

After a long while, she sighed.

"You express your emotions too much, which is not a good thing."

"Easily lost, easily hurt."

Wu Liang appeared here at some unknown time.

Yunfang lowered her eyes:

"Don't your hands tremble when you kill someone?"

Wu Liang remained calm.

Sometimes.

"I'm too soft-hearted; perhaps I'm not suited for the Jie Sect."

Wu Liang looked at Yun Fang and smiled:

"Since the cult leader didn't ask you to leave, it means he doesn't dislike you."

"In other words, he felt it was necessary for you to stay with the Jie Sect."

Yunfang blinked:

"He can be soft-hearted too?"

Martial strength:

"I don't know...maybe it's not that I'm soft-hearted, but rather that I'm feeling lost."

"But actually I don't think this is a bad thing."

"If you're really feeling uncomfortable, leave the capital and come back after this is all over."

After he finished speaking, he disappeared.

A sense of gratitude welled up in Yunfang's heart.

Although the people of the Jie Sect are extremely cold and cruel, it is precisely in this environment that many people who do not even know each other's names develop inexplicable feelings for each other.

Many of these warriors formed bonds because they had carried out dangerous missions together or gone through life-or-death experiences together.

They didn't even know each other's names, yet they were willing to give their lives for each other.

Furthermore, their shared faith made the organization extremely united.

Yunfang clenched her fists tightly.

Finally, it slowly loosened up again.

This rain... was destined to fall.

...

night.

The wind rises.

The air is dry.

A dark figure appeared at the entrance of the Lü family's house.

"Who?!"

Under the starlight, the hem of the man's coat fluttered in the night breeze.

But he did not conceal his whereabouts.

As a result, the powerful gatekeeper quickly spotted him.

"Zhao Yi".

The shadowy path.

P.S.: Second update.

I'm going home to see my parents tomorrow, and I still need to take a bus.

Goodnight, my darlings!
