The reincarnated swordsman only wants to be a fun person

After nearly an hour of tracking, they confirmed that the truck full of Blue Hui banknotes had driven out of the Holy Land and is still being tracked.

Secondary on-site investigation:

The suspect's modus operandi still could not be confirmed, and investigators did not find any traces at the scene, as if the money had really flown away on its own.

There are 32 talents in the Holy Empire archives that meet this ability, but the owners of these talents all have alibis.

Review the security of major warehouses:

None of the five warehouse security guards from the Golden City were present, and there were no signs of intrusion in their duty rooms;

There were two mid-level security guards on duty at the time of the Ice Cream Maid City incident, but they did not notice anything unusual throughout the incident.

At the time of the incident at the William Road branch of Pedia Bank in the East District, there were 6 security guards on the scene, including 1 intermediate-level magician, 1 junior-level magician, and 4 top-level magicians.

None of the six people found the suspect committing the crime;

Pedia Bank North District...

……

All five institutions were robbed, with losses exceeding 50 million. The stolen items were the largest-denomination Blue Hui banknotes, while the rest of the valuables such as jewelry, gold, and Earth currency were intact.

There were no casualties in the five institutions.

Seeing this, Dylan's expression became hesitant.

Yesterday it was Kalia, today it’s Pedia, no matter how you look at it, it was done by the same group of people.

But yesterday there was a massacre, today there is not even a single casualty.

Is this contrasting style intentional?

Or is it just a coincidence that the two great noble families suffered disasters one after another?

Dylan said, "Take 1000 million Blue Hui notes and send them to Pedia, under the pretext of the nobles' mutual assistance."

"understood."

Baron nodded and left.

Dylan closed his eyes and began to think about what had happened in the past two days.

For some reason, even though all the clues proved that these things had nothing to do with the man named Tian Yi, the person he suspected the most at this moment was still Tian Yi.

Thinking of this, he tapped the table lightly.

The door opened and a servant came in: "Master."

Dylan said, "I'm requesting an emergency trial for Tian Yi. The charge is that he assisted the Holy Heart in killing the Kalia family's partners."

"understood."

The servant bowed and left.

……

……

The outskirts of the Holy City.

Tian Yi parked the car beside a fast-flowing river.

He got out of the car and picked up smooth stones on the shore.

Guangtuan: "What are you doing?"

Tian Yi: "Testing a new, less-than-safe ability."

Light Ball: "What kind of ability?"

Tian Yi: "Formation, confusing mind formation."

Light Ball: "The formation is ready, when can you make pills and refine weapons?"

Tian Yi: "The alchemy is already in progress. When I return home after the holiday, I can try to refine the Qi-nourishing Pill.

As for refining weapons, I can actually do it after I've established my foundation, but starting from scratch means there are too many things I'm lacking. Fire alone isn't enough to meet the requirements. I guess I have to wait until I've formed a golden elixir before I can start."

Light Ball: "Can magic fire work? There's a saint who can summon a simulated solar flame, nearly 6000 degrees."

Tian Yi was stunned. He asked in shock, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Guangtuan: "You didn't ask. In fact, if you have any needs, you can just tell us directly."

Tian Yi asked, "Can this person's flames be controlled? I mean the temperature and shape."

Light Ball: "No, he can only summon."

Tian Yi shook his head: "That's not going to work, but with a 6000 degree flame, I might need his help after I reach the Golden Core stage."

Light Ball: "Okay."

As he spoke, Tian Yi picked up 17 stones. He grabbed one, used his Qi to print a rune on the stone, and then threw it a hundred meters away.

One, two, and he continued to throw 17 stones around, forming a circle with a diameter of 200 meters.

He stood in the center of the circle, leaning against the truck and waiting quietly.

Guangtuan: "After not killing anyone for a whole night, are you itching to do something?"

Tian Yi didn't deny it: "A little bit."

"What will you do when peace comes?"

Tian Yi said: "Maybe by that time, my illness will have been cured. In fact, I don't kill for the sake of killing. It's just that the influence of the ruthless way has a principle of 'don't show mercy to the enemy'.

So when I meet people from the opposing camp or those who are hostile to me, I can’t help myself.”

Light Ball: "Is the ruthless way really that bad?"

Tian Yi shook his head: "In fact, the ruthless way is a very powerful direction of cultivation. Once you embark on this path, you will be able to focus on your cultivation and no longer be affected by the troubles of the world. The speed of cultivation will be greatly improved.

Furthermore, the ruthless path is not truly ruthless; one's own desires still exist, so every time a breakthrough occurs, one will feel that kind of satisfaction and joy."

Light Ball: "But?"

Tian Yi sighed, "But all these positive aspects must be based on the premise that there is still room for improvement.

Once a bottleneck is reached, or the way forward is blocked, joy and satisfaction disappear, the influence of the ruthless path will spread, and people will no longer be like human beings.

This is not the most terrible thing,

What is truly painful is that when practitioners of the Way of Ruthlessness perceive this trend, they will still try to save themselves under the influence of the most primitive desire to survive, and will try every possible means to curb the "ruthlessness".

In this process, if you fail, it’s ok, just treat it as if you have an incurable disease.

But once successful, practitioners will clearly recognize their own incompleteness, a feeling that is even more unbearable than physical incompleteness.

Guangtuan: "It sounds creepy, but I have an urge to experience it myself."

Tian Yi looked at it speechlessly: "I have always suspected that you are my fellow patient. Now it is finally confirmed. You are indeed my fellow patient. Your condition may be even more serious than mine."

Light ball: "Nonsense! I'm normal!"

Tian Yi sneered: "Oh, typical remarks from a mentally ill person."

Light ball: “…”

Tian Yi ignored it and turned his gaze towards the Holy City: "Six people, two high-level magicians, four mid-level magicians, this team is well-equipped."

Light Group: "It's very high. Even in frontline combat, such a team is the best. Generally, they are only dispatched for special missions.

Also, the team you saw is the Pedia family's treasure hunting team. This team specializes in exploring ruins on other continents, so both their combat effectiveness and search capabilities are top-tier in the Twin Holy Kingdom."

Does this require both strength and experience?

Tian Yi didn't seem particularly nervous. He asked, "These people are probably here for more than just treasure hunting, right? The resentment they carry is so intense, I've never seen anything like it before."

Light Ball: "I'm not sure, but I have a guess."

Tian Yi looked at it and asked, "Tell me about it?"

The Light Group: "Their main areas of activity are the continents occupied by the Fallen. In fact, there are still many humans remaining on those continents.

A large portion of these humans are 'insignificant', and the Fallen will only convert them and do nothing to them.

This means that they are no different from us.

However, these things are not true for a large number of people who know about the "War of Gods". They believe that since they are ruled by the Fallen, they will inevitably become Fallen themselves.

Even if there seems to be nothing wrong, it is just an appearance. In fact, the inner self has already been corrupted.

This perception was somewhat uncertain at first, but as the war continues, not only are more and more people feeling this way, but the belief is also becoming more and more firm.”

“Is there someone guiding you?”

Tian Yi smiled and said, "The leader should have wanted to strengthen the morale of the troops at the beginning, right?"

Light Ball: “Yes.”

Tian Yi had already guessed why Guangtuan brought this up. "So, these treasure-hunting teams operating on the continent ruled by the Fallen, do they kill anyone they see? Or do they do whatever they want to those labeled 'Fallen'?"

Light Ball: "That's my guess."

Tian Yi also felt that this guess was almost correct.

He didn't ask any more questions and just looked ahead quietly until two off-road vehicles appeared in his sight and drove 30 meters away from them.

Six people got out of two cars, two women and four men.

The leader was a red-haired woman with a ponytail and an eye patch and a deep scar on her face.

She walked in front of the group, her eyes fixed on Tian Yi (whose appearance was that of a hungover aristocratic young master). She asked in a casual tone, "Whose family are you from? Is that car behind you yours?"

Tian Yi looked at her with a smile on his face: "Yes, I am the thief who stole 5000 million blue notes from your Pedia family."

"!?"

The six members of the treasure hunting team were all stunned. They didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward.

Tian Yi continued, "Your mission is to find me and bring the money back, right? Don't worry, the money and I are here, we can't get away.

So before I finish my work, please listen to me share my theft process this night. Sorry, I have to find someone to share this fulfilling thing with, otherwise I might be suffocated to death.

You don't want to just take my body back, do you?"

The red-haired woman's eyes turned cold, but a polite smile appeared on her face: "Okay, you say."

Tian Yi nodded gratefully, but then he formed seals with his hands.

Almost without any particular order, an arrow shot out from behind the red-haired woman.

When the arrow was about to hit Tian Yi's shoulder——

"Array up!"

The void with a radius of 100 meters with Tian Yi as the center suddenly became distorted. The arrow seemed to pass through a phantom, passing through the air and disappearing from the sight of the treasure hunting team.

The treasure-hunting team immediately formed a battle formation and began to observe this place that seemed to have become a little different.

"Number 2, confirm whether this is an illusion."

The red-haired woman ordered.

A short young man standing next to her immediately raised his sword, and a grayish-white light shone from the tip of the sword.

The light shook the air, creating ripples.

However, after a long while, the surroundings remained unchanged: the river bank, the breeze, the flowing water, and the disappeared thieves and the truck.

"Number 9, number 11, free attack."

The red-haired woman continued to give orders.

As the order came down, a petite girl in a long robe and a young man with a stern face also raised their swords. Flames and storms blasted all around, making the ground bumpy and filled with smoke full of the smell of earth.

The red-haired woman looked at the environment, which had not changed. She said, "Put your arm around me and follow me."

The five teammates quickly lined up and each put a hand on the shoulder of the teammate in front of them.

The red-haired woman glanced in the direction of the Holy City, then walked in the opposite direction.

The position is changing, and the newly blasted holes along the way are evidence of this, but why is there a sense of dissonance?

The red-haired woman led the team for nearly a kilometer with a frown on her face. She looked around and didn't notice anything unusual.

She hesitated for a moment, turned around, and led the team back to the riverbank: "Get in the car and return to the city."
