Excessive ferocity due to caution

That line, once crossed, is tantamount to death.

Even with a body and laws at the Dominator Realm level, one cannot withstand spatial rifts; if caught in one, one will die a terrible death.

This is why even a powerful ruler needs to use formations to achieve spacetime jumps when he wants to go to extremely distant areas.

"Zhao Yi, don't be so ruthless!"

With nowhere to escape, the church members immediately turned around and glared angrily at Zhao Yi.

"The great power of my Skull Church is about to arrive. Your continued futile resistance will only increase the bloodshed!"

Zhao Yi leisurely stopped in front of them, holding his knife, looking at them, and laughed:

"You've all come this far, you understand some things better than anyone else, yet when faced with death, you're still so humble and so pathetic."

"I will not let you get away with this."

"Not only will we shred your bodies, but we will also destroy your souls and the instruments of torture on your bodies."

The church members felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this.

"If you don't kill us, we can trade you information from within the church!"

Under the threat of death, some monks gave in.

The others looked at him with surprise.

The Taoist priest gritted his teeth and said:

Why are you looking at me like that?

"If you were truly loyal subjects, you wouldn't be alive now, would you?"

"We've come this far; if we don't make a choice now, we'll miss our chance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yi, who was some distance away, said calmly:

"It's too late."

"I know very well what the Skull Church is going to do."

"And even if I really needed it, I wouldn't want to hear this information from you."

"And you don't need to be so afraid... Everyone dies eventually, it's just a matter of sooner or later."

"I don't have a habit of torturing people; I'm quick with my knife."

The fear in the eyes of those monks was frozen in time.

Because Zhao Yi drew his knife.

The sharpness of the Taotie perfectly confirmed Zhao Yi's words at this moment.

Its sharp teeth shattered the instruments of torture and devoured the monk's soul and body.

This was never an equal battle.

After reaching the level of a god, Zhao Yi has found it difficult to encounter any rivals.

Tonight is a night of murder, a night of bloodshed and desolation, but there is an extra little sun in the sky and countless torches on the ground.

Every time the members of the Jiejiao sect cleared out a stronghold of the Skull Church, they would set off fireworks at that stronghold!

The blazing firelight, like neon lights, illuminated the northern part of the capital, transforming this region corrupted by the Skull Church into something indistinguishable from the once bustling city that never sleeps.

As Zhao Yi gazed at the raging fire, Wu Liang appeared beside him at some point, watching the inferno together. He remarked with considerable emotion:

"I told Lao Xu that the cult leader will come back."

"So he just waited there, for a very long time."

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

"Tell the brothers to make the fire bigger."

"Let those guys in the capital see Lao Xu too."

Wu Liang nodded.

"Many like-minded people have died on this road."

"Those who survive will have an even stronger will of faith."

After he left, Zhao Yi gazed into the distance at the unknown starry sky.

The words of the dominant personality still echoed in my ears.

In fact, both the main personality and Tang Jiushijiu are searching for the answer.

The only difference is the methods used.

Although he did not agree with the main personality's viewpoint, as travelers on this path, none of them had the right to deny the main personality.

Because no one has the answer.

The reason Zhao Yi rejected the main personality's suggestion was more due to his own selfish motives.

He still cares about the lives of certain people.

If the dominant personality's plan succeeds, he will destroy an entire era, along with all the beings within that era.

Therefore, Zhao Yi cannot allow him to successfully implement this plan.

With the bridge of flesh and blood as the dividing line, the area north of the capital had been burning for several days.

Only after all traces of the church's existence had been completely erased and the flames had been mostly extinguished did Zhao Yi look up at the sky.

He remained motionless, gazing intently for a long time.

Or it might be an illusion.

He really felt the starlight was a little brighter.

"There is no sun in the chaotic world, so the good deeds people did in their lives have gathered into starlight, which continues to illuminate this dark world."

"Old Xu..."

"My fallen brothers..."

"Just you wait and see."

"I've never lost before, and I won't lose this time either."

...

After the capital was liberated, the people, still in shock, returned to the place where they used to live. Looking at the wreckage on the ground, they could hardly imagine what had happened here not long ago.

But no matter what, the territory that was taken away by the church has now been taken back by the Jiejiao.

"But we, my friends, are the heroes!"

"Long live unity!"

"From the day the Jie Sect set out on their expedition, I knew they would win!"

"The mere Church of the Skull, we can defeat them once, we can defeat them a second time, a third time..."

"That's right, we are invincible!"

Hearing the cheers of the people around her, Yunfang couldn't help but frown.

She had also experienced the hypocrisy of human nature before.

But it's not that hypocritical yet.

The people in the capital city had made her feel genuinely disgusted.

Under the organization of the Jie Sect, the originally damaged area began to recover at an extremely fast speed, gradually turning into a thriving place.

Skyscrapers rose up one after another, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and Zhao Yi received Jin Shiyue at the Tianwang Hotel in the south.

He hadn't shaved his face and looked incredibly slovenly, a far cry from his former haughty and despicable appearance.

His energy and spirit are not as good as before.

"After you left, something changed in the capital."

"Didn't anyone from Tianhai Pass come to help?"

"Yeah, we're stuck."

"It seems the situation over there isn't good either."

"Hey... as usual, they're used to the church's manipulation."

As Jin Shiyue ate peanuts, her tone betrayed a deep unease:

"But I heard that something terrifying is about to rise up in the church."

Have you heard of it?

Zhao Yi raised his eyelids slightly:

"High Priest".

"The original Nailhead".

"I used some tricks in the underworld, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will die completely soon after it awakens."

Jin Shiyue was stunned on the spot:

Why?

Zhao Yi calmly replied:

"Because it's going to meet someone it absolutely can't afford to offend."

Jin Shiyue nodded, staring absently at the peanuts on the table, but her tone had softened considerably:

"That puts my mind at ease..."

"What are your plans after that?"

Zhao Yi looked intently at the many printed books on the table and said in a serious tone:

"Preaching the word."

The moon is now bewildered:

"Preaching?"

Zhao Yi:

"In other words, it's about teaching."

puff!

Today, I almost couldn't resist and choked on the peanut skin.

"Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not kidding."

Zhao Yi tossed him a razor:

"in addition……"

"If you have nothing better to do, come and work for the Jie Sect."

"If I become stronger in the future, I might be able to see Meng Jiao again."

"You've liked her for so long, don't you want to see her again?"

Mentioning Meng Jiao caused Jin Shiyue's body to tremble.

"Is she...is she still alive?"

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

Who knows?

"I have never been to the Immortal Road."

"But I know that most of them did not die."

"If you want to know the answer, then come to the Jie Sect."
