Otherwise, with so many suitable people, why would I let you, someone who hates me so much, take charge of this task?"

"...Because you, Tian Yi-sama, have sensed my hatred."

Albert didn't hide it anymore. He lowered his head and said, "So, you are going to kill me now."

Tian Yi smiled and said, "What do you want to choose? Stay in the Holy City and die suddenly one day, or abandon the light and join the dark, and get a chance of survival?"

Albert sighed: "I understand. I will leave the Holy City and wait for the people from Midnight to invite me."

"Wise choice."

Tian Yi took out a piece of talisman paper and handed it over: "Swallow it."

Albert did not resist. He took the talisman, put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

Tian Yi formed seals with his hands, and a paparazzi ghost appeared out of thin air and merged into Albert's body.

The latter felt a chill run down his spine. He looked at Tian Yi with a fearful and unwilling look: "Master Tian Yi, do you have any other instructions?"

Tian Yi smiled and said, "Leave the Holy City within three days. You can go now."

Albert bowed, turned around and left without even looking at the dying woman.

Guangtuan: "It's not easy to be an undercover agent, especially for an underground organization like 'Midnight'. They have many methods that can detect lies and even read memories."

Tian Yi said, "I know, that's why we need him to go."

Light Ball: "Ah? Why?"

Tian Yi: "Did you see that just now? I let a paparazzi ghost possess him."

Light Ball: "I see, his mental strength is still at the ghost level. Can this prevent his memory from being read?"

Tian Yi shook his head: "That soul will unknowingly make him forget the deal with me. When he leaves the Holy City, he will only remember that he was bullied by me, lost everything, and was expelled from the Holy City.

Not only that, by that time, he will no longer hide his hatred for me."

Light Ball: "And then 'Midnight' will find him?"

"uncertain."

Tian Yi said, "I just think that anyone who wants to expand their own power would not want to miss out on an intelligence talent who was kicked out due to factional disputes."

Strengthen yourself?

The light ball suddenly realized: "'Midnight' is just trying to get on the stage. They are determined to develop, and there is a high probability that they will find Albert."

Tian Yi nodded: "Although this looks like bait, Albert's hatred for me is real. As long as Midnight verifies his memory, he will still have doubts and will start using him."

Guangtuan: "Your paparazzi ghost is quite powerful. After it took over my body, even I couldn't feel anything unusual."

"Because it's a ghost."

Tian Yi said, "It has wisdom and knows how to hide itself, but it doesn't have the cold and murderous aura of a ghost, so unless you have a special detection technique, it's difficult to identify it."

Guangtuan: "Didn't they say they were going to raid the Midnight lair in May? Why are they sending undercover agents now? Someone with such low qualifications shouldn't be able to access their lair, right?"

Tian Yi: "I want to see if I can use this undercover agent to find out what the owner of the 'Red Sky' fragment is planning to do."

Light Ball: "Because of the fragment last night?"

Tian Yi nodded: "Use the 'Son of Evil' to transport the fragments into the Holy City, and then use the fragments to scratch the researchers, infecting them into puppets, and further spread -"

Then he asked Xiang Guangtuan, "You haven't started letting people touch the fragments yet, have you?"

Guangtuan: "Well, since there's no one available, I have to choose someone myself."

Tian Yi pretended not to hear the plea in her words and said, "If someone volunteers to be cut, we will put him in solitary confinement and check his physical condition.

I suspect that the purpose of spreading the fragments is also to feed on a large scale."

Light ball: "Eating?"

Tian Yi nodded: "Since the sword is broken, we must think about restoring it. However, a sword of Jiuxiao's level cannot be repaired by ordinary methods, and unconventional methods are basically impossible to achieve.

The only way that can be used and has a chance of success is to take food supplements.

Heal the sword by drinking blood, and nourish the sword spirit by devouring souls."

"So, the blood and spirit of the person who was scratched will be devoured? Even if the fragments are not nearby?"

Tian Yi: "Its devouring method is probably to scratch the skin, allowing something to parasitize in the blood, and it will automatically devour the blood and spirit.

Then the main body will devour this thing."

Light Ball: "...If it spreads to the entire Midgard continent, or even to all of humanity, wouldn't that be a disaster?"

Tian Yi nodded: "You have to be mentally prepared for this."

Light Ball: "Is there any hope?"

Tian Yi said, "Yes, but there is a price to pay."

Light Ball: "What's the price?"

Tian Yi said, "Letting the Merciless Dao projection come out to beat the child, so I must first confirm whether the holder of the 'Red Sky' fragment is really planning to do this."

Light Ball: "If the holder of the 'Red Sky' fragment has no intention of spreading it, should we just ignore it?"

Tian Yi nodded: "Of course, when I don't have the ability, it's enough to just clean up the snow in front of my own door. I won't sacrifice myself for someone who has nothing to do with me."

Guangtuan: "I understand. I will keep an eye on it when the time comes."

Tian Yi turned his gaze to the woman who was only breathing her last breath. He asked Tian Jiajia, "Sister, do you remember who else was involved besides this guy?"

Tian Jiajia was stunned for a moment, then she recalled and replied, "I don't remember much. I was only paying attention to this woman at the time."

Tian Yi was not surprised by this. Although Tian Jiajia looked a little crazy, she was undoubtedly a normal person.

The difference between a normal person and a mentally ill person is that the more grievances the former suffers, the more hatred they will have.

So, without suffering any actual harm, she only remembered the culprit.

But unfortunately, besides the normal people, there is also a mentally ill person seeking revenge——

Tian Yi threw out a sweet rain talisman, cured the woman, and then stuffed a mantra talisman into her mouth.

The latter's eyes bulged, and he wanted to struggle.

Tian Yi twisted her limbs directly, then ignored her screams and asked, "Four years ago, you wanted to kill a man named Tian Liu, right?

Tell me what your mindset was when you did this, and who were the participants?

The woman's emotions had completely broken down at this time. She didn't want to answer questions, she just wanted to beg for mercy and then find a doctor to treat her injuries.

However, she replied uncontrollably, "I just want to establish my authority and suppress Tian Liu so that my husband's other lovers will know that I am not someone to be trifled with.

At that time, I didn't think about doing anything extreme. I just wanted to teach Tian Liu a lesson and make him lose face and that would be it.

But later, Earl Siegel took a fancy to Tian Liu, so he asked me to continue to make things difficult for him, and then find an opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty."

Why is it this routine again?

Are these losers only able to pursue girls by being heroes and saving beauties?

Tian Yi asked, "So, little Earl Siegel is also one of the participants? Besides you, who else is there?"

The woman looked horrified: "And Viscountess Hatton, Viscountess Halls..."

She rattled off sixteen names in a row.

Tian Yi chopped off the woman's head with a backhanded sword. He asked Xiang Guangtuan, "Do you know what I'm going to say?"

Guangtuan: "Ding! Positioning completed. The red-named player's location information will be sent to the user's mobile phone within 5 seconds. Please check it."

Tian Yi took out his phone and clicked on the message. A new message popped up on the screen. He glanced at it and confirmed that all these people were in the Holy City. He said to Tian Jiajia, "Let's go, sister, let's kill them all."

Tian Jiajia looked at him with a complicated expression: "Didn't Mom say that your illness has improved?"

Tian Yi smiled and said, "Sister, I'm not looking for a reason to kill people, but these people all deserve to be killed. Do you think our mother is the only one who was bullied?"

Tian Jiajia was stunned for a moment, and she asked tentatively: "So, this is acting on behalf of heaven."

Tian Yi shook his head. "There's no such noble reason. I just wanted revenge. I told you they were habitual offenders because I wanted you to know that at that time, they didn't even consider our mother a human being."

The difference between killing someone and not killing them does not lie in kindness, but in letting the bullied person live in humiliation, which can give them a sense of satisfaction.

And there is——"

He glanced at the body on the ground and asked, "Do you think 'give Tian Liu a lesson and embarrass him' means something?"

Tian Jiajia shook her head.

Tian Yi said, "They wanted to find someone to strip our mother's clothes off in the street."

Tian Jiajia's face immediately darkened: "Let's go, kill them all!"

……

……

At 2pm that day.

Count Siegel initiated a video conference in his study.

The first to respond this time was once again Duke Kalia. He looked at the initiator, Count Silger, and was the first to speak: "Please be patient. I'm investigating the cause."

Count Siegel took a deep breath and said angrily, "Master Aiilek killed my brother in front of me, and you want me to stay calm?"

Duke Kalia's eye twitched. "Do you need me to make an appointment for you with the brain department?"

Upon hearing this, the sadness and anger on Count Siegel's face immediately turned into joy: "It's just that my brother died, and I was a little too happy. It was just a joke~"

At this moment, a video frame lit up on the screen again, and Duke Pedia also appeared on the screen. He sighed and said, "In all my years, I have never felt so aggrieved."

The screen lit up again, and the figure of Marquis Andre appeared, his face full of anger: "My nephew and his wife were killed right in front of my house. I think we must teach that guy a lesson."

Duke Kalia asked, "How do you teach him a lesson?"

Marquis Andre said coldly: "We can't intimidate Tian Yi, but we can intimidate the reformists and force them to make Tian Yi restrain himself."

Duke Kalia had a blank expression on his face. “But Tian Yi not only won’t stop, he will also bring your son to your room in the middle of the night and chop off his head in front of you.”

Marquis Andre's face changed drastically, but this time he didn't say a word.

Because he knew this was not a joke.

That person was even capable of killing a hostage in public, so how could he be threatened so easily?

Realizing this, he experienced for the first time how powerless it was to be targeted by a powerful but mentally ill lunatic.

At this time, Duke Kalia said: "We found out that those who died had united to target Tian Yi's mother, Tian Liu, four years ago.

It was precisely because of that targeting that Tian Liu moved out of the aristocratic district.

Furthermore, if the Fire Bureau hadn't intervened, preventing those people from continuing, the death toll would have been dozens of times higher."

This was the first time he felt so grateful to the Xinhuo Bureau.

"So, this is revenge?"

Count Siegel found it hard to accept: "Just for this little thing, he wants to kill all the nobles?"

Duke Kalia looked at him and said, "It's just a small matter for you, but that's Tian Yi. He doesn't care about much. Those people really crossed his bottom line."

Duke Pedia nodded in agreement: "In that case, Tian Yi's actions are understandable. I forgive him."

Marquis Andre took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, then I have no objection."

Count Siegel looked at them in disbelief: "Have you reached this point in your tolerance for him?"

Duke Kalia ignored Count Siegel's reluctance and looked at the people on the screen: "Everyone, I have received a new piece of information.

I wonder if you have ever heard of a sword tradition called the 'Path of Red'?"

Chapter 174 Sword Master Level

"The 'Red' Path is the 'urban legend' that spread across Yongyue Territory a few days ago, right?"

Duke Pedia looked at Duke Kalia with a meaningful look. "The Kalia family's intelligence capabilities are truly remarkable. They figured out the truth of this urban legend so quickly."

Marquis Andre and Count Sigel both looked at the two men with puzzled eyes.

Duke Kalia explained, "About half a month ago, a legend began to spread among the villages and civilian areas of Yongyue Territory.

Every midnight, red flames would descend upon the sufferer, granting him magical sword skills that would allow him to become a top-tier warrior.
