Excessive ferocity due to caution

After arranging things properly within the inner palace, Zhao Yi addressed Ji Chen and the other man:

"Next, I need to find a chance to return to the Chaotic Realm as soon as possible."

"I've been delayed for a while since I came here. There are still some things I need to take care of in the Chaotic Realm."

Ji Chen scratched his head, looking troubled:

"But senior, you can no longer traverse the ancient battlefield, can you?"

"Now, at least most of the Church of No Return know that their leader, Dison, followed you across the Chaos Sea to the other side."

"So in their eyes, there's probably only one of you and Dison who will survive."

"If you show up, it means Dison is dead."

"Even if they don't kill you, they will definitely not let you leave."

Zhao Yi looked slightly surprised and smiled at Ji Chen:

"Well done, little Jiji, you see things quite clearly."

Ji Chen said awkwardly:

"I wasn't stupid to begin with, I just didn't know the situation before, so I had to pretend to be stupid."

Zhao Yidao:

"Now, let's see if any of you can get me out of here..."

"I've told you almost everything that needed to be explained."

"Now that I haven't retrieved the power that was imprisoned behind the Star Gate, staying in the Abyss won't be of much help to you... but if I return to the capital, I can cause the Church considerable trouble."

Ji Chen lowered his head and pondered for a while without speaking.

The younger sister, however, spoke up:

"If you wish to leave the Abyss and return to the outside world, there is a way."

The two looked at Ji Pa.

The latter said:

"Didn't I work in the underworld for a while before?"

"In that place, I met a friend who was a junior judge in the Tan Shen Palace."

"When he was browsing through the records of the Tan Shen Mansion, he saw the method by which ghost messengers entered and exited the Netherworld, which seemed to be... to travel through the Yellow Springs."

Zhao Yi's eyes flickered:

"Eight thousand miles of Yellow Springs".

Ji Pa nodded:

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"That's the Yellow Springs, a place eighty thousand miles away!"

"That spring leads to the outside world!"

"However, I heard from the junior judge that the Yellow Springs is the path for the dead, and without the authority granted by the underworld, one cannot pass through..."

"But now that the underworld has collapsed, we don't know if the authority you possess is still useful."

Zhao Yi did not hesitate at all:

With the address provided by Ji Pa, Zhao Yi entered the Yellow Springs.

The Yellow Springs are not a real spring, but a torrent of blue flames burning like a long dragon!

The flames were accompanied by a bone-chilling cold.

Even a person's soul can be completely frozen.

Zhao Yi was in the middle of it all, and he could clearly feel the coldness of the Yellow Spring water, but there was another mysterious power protecting him.

It was precisely the underworld authority he possessed.

This is exactly what Zhao Yi guessed.

Whether it's the Yellow Springs or the Underworld, the authority they grant is essentially something created by the main personality.

As long as the dominant personality is alive, the rules between the two will not change.

Zhao Yi can still enter and leave the Yellow Springs using his underworld authority!

Swimming against the current in the torrent, Zhao Yi spent several days, relying on his authority and divine body, and finally arrived at the spring of the Yellow Springs!

It was a black hole from the sky.

Countless blue flames poured down from the black hole!

Zhao Yi stared at the enormous black hole, his gaze narrowing slightly. He gathered all the strength in his body, took a step forward, and defied the terrifying pressure to move against the flow!

After being washed away by the Yellow Springs, the body of the god was cracked and even the bones were fractured!

"Hey!"

Zhao Yi exerted force from his back, and the sun appeared behind his head. The sunlight forced back the divine power released from the Yellow Springs, creating a difficult but safe space for Zhao Yi from the turbulent Yellow Springs water!

The sunlight began to heal the cracks on Zhao Yi's body, his bones regenerating and then shattering again.

Amidst this entanglement, Zhao Yi finally arrived at the spring and plunged headfirst into the raging torrent within!

...

imperial capital.

Fifth Federation, Xu Shengzhi's office.

A man and a woman, alone in this place.

The atmosphere was heavy.

The two faced off for a long time, then Xu Shengzhi suddenly stood up, glaring at him and saying:

"No!"

"Absolutely not!"

"Chief Yunfang, please stop saying such things. I would never do such a thing!"

Yunfang sighed:

"I don't want to either, but now... I'm afraid only you can do this for me."

Xu Shengzhi waved his hands, touched his nose, put his hands on his hips, and finally spread them out:

"Martial prowess is also an option, why didn't you choose him?"

Yunfang smiled bitterly:

"He's no match for martial arts."

"He...can't leave."

Xu Shengzhi's eyes widened even more:

"I can't leave either!"

"The leader sent me to the Fifth Federation, how can I just leave my post!"

"I'm not going!"

Yunfang said earnestly:

"If you don't go, everything the cult leader left behind will be destroyed!"

Xu Shengzhi shouted loudly:

"Destroy it if you want!"

"Great destruction leads to great creation!"

"If the Jie Sect is gone, we'll create the Dai Sect. If the Dai Sect is gone, we can still create the Zai Sect or the Cai Sect!"

"What are you afraid of?!"

Yunfang looked at Xu Shengzhi, her eyes shining.

The latter got goosebumps all over his body.

"Yunfang, don't look at me like that. Let me tell you, going to destroy that broken bridge is no different from suicide!"

"There's absolutely no way I'm going!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Go yourself if you want to!"

Yunfang said coldly:

"If I could go by myself, I would have gone long ago."

"Would you really come looking for a coward like me?"

Xu Shengzhi pointed at Yunfang:

"Hey hey hey!"

"Don't try to goad me!"

"Reverse psychology won't work!"

"I'm telling you, I, Xu Shengzhi, will live and die with the Jie Sect!"

"You think I'll die alone? No way!"

Yunfang remained silent for a long time, then spoke in a serious tone:

"Have you considered the people under your command who are willing to risk their lives for you?"

"If you don't go, they'll all die!"

"Those brothers of the Jie Sect, you personally trained them, and you want them to die with you?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shengzhi cursed at Yunfang:

"Get the hell out of here!"

"Have you even considered me?"

"Why should I be the one to die, and not you?"

"Who made that decision? Who made that decision?!"

"I care about their lives, but who cares about mine?!"

As he spoke, he struck Yunfang directly with a palm, the powerful force shattering Yunfang's body on the spot!

Clearly, the latter was just a projected phantom.

Not long after, the door was pushed open.

A beautiful woman wearing round-framed glasses, a gray business skirt, and stockings walked in.

She exuded a chilling, deathly aura, and held some documents in her arms.

slam-la-

All of these files were placed on the desktop.

"Manager Xu, here is all the important information that the Jie Sect has recently gathered in the Fifth Federation. I have compiled it all for you."

"in addition……"

Seeing her hesitate, Xu Shengzhi frowned and said:

"Speak your mind, or get out!"

The woman said calmly:

"I can go and help with the bridge destruction."

Xu Shengzhi looked up, his gaze suddenly becoming extremely sharp as he stared at the woman.

"you go?"

"What ability do you have? You think you're worthy?"

"With your skills, you can't even get close to the bridge of flesh and blood, yet you want to blow it up?"

The woman laughed:

"We're going to die anyway, waiting is the only option."

"Why don't I give it a try? If I succeed, the supervisor and the other brothers will be able to return safely to the Imperial Federation..."

Xu Shengzhi took a sip of the wine on the table, then suddenly slammed it to the ground with a loud thud, leaving behind a pile of crumbs.

"Xu Yue, you motherfucker!"

"I can tolerate those heartless people forcing me, but you're the one I personally trained, and you're going to force me too?!"

Xu Yue stared into Xu Shengzhi's eyes, which were filled with savagery, and said:

"I just don't want to see you die."

"They are the same."

"We... have been following you since the ruined city."

"If this drags on any longer, the Fifth Federation will soon fall."

"Let me give it a try."

"By breaking the bridge of flesh and blood, you and your brothers can return."

Xu Shengzhi pinched the Jingming acupoint, his tone heavy:

"In a few days..."

"Even if you want to go, it's not possible now."

"The timing isn't right."

"In a few more days..."

Goodnight, my darlings!
