Excessive ferocity due to caution

Qin Guang Hall.

After Zhao Yi left, King Qin Guang looked through the files for a while, then said to the person holding the folding fan:

"It's almost time."

"Go and deliver the message to the church."

The person holding the folding fan hesitated and said:

"But Your Majesty...do we really want to stand against the adults?"

King Qin Guang glanced at it and said calmly:

"We're just pawns; pawns are the easiest to deal with."

"The problems you're worrying about are the problems that only the players should be worrying about."

"I often tell you, don't do unnecessary things."

"Our destiny... was already arranged from the day we were born."

The folding fan figure slowly closed the folding fan in its hand. Its face resembled a ghostly mask, seemingly both crying and laughing, with its mouth stretched wide open, as if mocking everything in the world.

"I understand."

Just as it was about to leave, King Qin Guang called it back:

"Baku, how long have you been with me?"

"Your Majesty, it has been exactly 73,000 years."

"Hmm...you go ahead."

The tapir turned its head and met King Qin Guang's gaze, then laughed:

"It is an honor for me to serve the emperor."

King Qin Guang nodded and waved his hand lightly.

The tapir departed.

...

Ji Family Abode.

This place was a post station built by the Ji family outside the clan compound. It was originally used for mining projects. Because it was too far from the Ji family's main clan compound, it had to be built nearby, which saved the Ji family a lot of trouble.

"Brother Zhao!"

Ji Chen received Zhao Yi outside. The moment he saw Zhao Yi, he was extremely enthusiastic and so excited that his legs went weak.

He was practically kneeling down and kowtowing to Zhao Yi.

The Ji family elders who followed were also very cautious and respectful. They had already heard about Zhao Yi's identity and knew that this guy was an extraordinary figure in the underworld, so they dared not be negligent in the slightest.

In particular, the underworld ghost messenger who escorted Zhao Yi here exuded a strong divine aura!

"What brings Lord Zhao to my Ji family's humble abode today?"

Zhao Yi glanced at the Ji family elder in front of him, and said leisurely:

"It's nothing serious."

"I just... came to see Ji Chen."

The elders of the Ji family were taken aback, then immediately stepped forward:

"Looking for Ji Chen?"

"Sir, there may be some misunderstanding. Although Ji's child is mischievous and may have had some minor conflicts with others when he was young, he has absolutely not committed any serious crimes..."

Zhao Yi took out a cigarette, his gaze lingering on the crowd for a moment:

"Don't worry, I'm not here to arrest him."

The group breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Chen, his leg trembling, approached Zhao Yi and gave him an awkward smile:

"Brother Zhao...you were looking for me?"

Zhao Yi pulled him aside and chuckled softly:

"Are those old things important to your Ji family?"

Ji Chen turned his head, glanced at the elders standing in front of the small building, exchanged a look with them, then turned back and said with an awkward smile:

"Brother Zhao, what are you saying... Officially, they are all elders of the Ji family who have served for many years. Personally, these uncles and aunts have watched me grow up. How could they not be important?"

"Your question is making me nervous..."

Zhao Yi stared at him and said:

"Let them go."

Ji Chen was stunned:

"Walk?"

"Where to?"

Zhao Yi:

"Go anywhere."

"If they don't leave, they will die."

Ji Chen's heart turned solemn. The two had interacted for a period of time on the ancient battlefield, and he knew that Zhao Yi would not joke with people casually.

"Brother Zhao...can I know why?"

Zhao glanced at him.

"Someone's coming, they'll be here soon."

"Who?"

"The murderer."

"How did you know... I understand. I won't ask anymore. I'll take my men and leave right now. Thank you, Brother Zhao!"

Ji Chen turned around, but before he could take a step, Zhao Yi grabbed him:

"Have your Ji family elders leave; you stay."

Ji Chen was stunned:

"I stayed?"

"right."

As Zhao Yi spoke, he lit the cigarette he had been holding in his mouth:

"Come with me."

Ji Chen carefully observed the expression on Zhao Yi's face, but could not discern any joy or sorrow from it.

He was too quiet.

It was as still as a stone, and you couldn't see anything.

"Can I... not stay?"

Ji Chen asked.

Zhao Yi stared at him, pointed to the ghost messenger who had come with him, and said with a smile:

"It listens to me."

"You won't listen."

"Then you will all die."

Ji Chen's face stiffened.

Although Zhao Yi had a smile on his face, he didn't think Zhao Yi was joking with him.

Based on Zhao Yi's behavior on the road, Ji Chen felt that Zhao Yi was indeed capable of doing such a thing.

"Brother Zhao...please don't worry, please don't worry!"

"I'll go and talk to the elders, okay?"

He swallowed hard, cautiously approached the elders, and discussed things with them for a while. The elders exchanged glances, then stepped forward to bow and bid farewell to Zhao Yi. Without asking any further questions, they turned and returned to the small building to activate the teleportation array.

In less than fifteen minutes, they had all been moved.

Not long after they left, two extremely intimidating divine auras emanated from the sky!

Zhao Yi and his two companions looked into the distance, where two dark figures appeared from the distant sky!

"Who dares to be so insolent here?!"

The ghost guards who escorted Zhao Yi drew their swords, their eyes sharp!

"You who will take your lives!"

A thunderous sound rang out, and a figure in the sky made a move, unleashing a terrifying force of causality that disrupted the laws of this space, blocking the three's escape route.

Holy crap!

"Two post-deity deities!"

"It's over..."

Ji Chen was so overwhelmed by the dense aura of the Empress that he could barely lift his head. He tried his best to activate the power of the laws within him, but the divine power of the laws that used to flow like a river through his body was now as still as mud and stone!

He was panting, and his bones began to crack.

My legs were trembling uncontrollably.

This time, he wasn't faking it.

They really couldn't hold on any longer.

Ji Chen's originally pale face turned liver-colored under this irresistible pressure.

His eyes were bloodshot.

Just as he was about to break down, Zhao Yi suddenly blocked his way.

The pressure decreased sharply.

Ji Chen supported himself on his knees, panting heavily, his whole body trembling like a sieve.

"Th-thank you."

He was sweating profusely and thanked Zhao Yi.

"Do you know who this person is?"

"How dare I?!"

The ghost messenger drew his sword, its blade gleaming three thousand feet long, and his vast ghostly aura swept across the sky as he charged forward, engaging the two in a fierce battle!

"My lord, hurry and leave! I can't hold on much longer!"

The ghost messenger spoke, enduring the opponent's attack, and carved a path to survival for Zhao Yi and the other two!

Upon seeing the gap in the law, Ji Chen's eyes lit up, and he was about to pull Zhao Yi away when he saw Zhao Yi directly confront one of the invading enemies and throw a punch!

The two exchanged a punch, and Zhao Yi only suffered minor injuries!

"He's gone mad..."

"They're all fucking insane..."

Ji Chen muttered to himself.

"As expected, he wouldn't dare kill me... Looks like the time isn't right."

"So you're just here to put pressure on me...?"

"Such a fine whetstone, I... won't be polite!"

PS: First update.

The plot hole about Avici Hell is actually quite interesting and quite large. Once I finish writing it, you'll understand why the Underworld and Avici Hell exist.
