During the Qin Dynasty, he was in charge of the net.

Li Ji glanced at Tian Yi with mixed feelings. Was there a strange little girl inside her seemingly cold and aloof exterior?

This surprised him, and he felt a sense of kindness from the little girl.

This kindness, like a solid beam of light, exists within the little girl, which is why Li Ji calls it a beam.

This is the greatest kindness Li Ji has felt so far.

He had only sensed a trace of goodwill from the Moon Goddess and Xiangfei in the main hall.

After glancing at Tian Yi again, Li Ji turned his gaze to the remaining fourteen assassins from the Luo Wang organization.

This time, however, what he saw was quite unexpected.

First up is the Black Widow, a second-class killer. Half of her face is intact, while the other half is a spider with compound eyes, making her look quite bizarre.

Li Ji frowned and looked at Qian Wu, who was ranked second in the "Kill" category.

Qianwu's human body still retained the outline of Luowang's black clothes, but his head had turned into a rotten and cracked rat's head, with black pus flowing from his eye sockets and sharp teeth exposed, making him look extremely disgusting.

Li Ji glanced at Qian Wu expressionlessly, but in his heart he had already sentenced him to death.

He sensed malice from the other person, a malice that was more solid than a bundle of malice.

Li Ji focused his gaze, looking at the remaining assassins from the Luo Wang organization one by one.

Some people's eyes turned into two murky, stagnant pools of water, the whites of their eyes filled with bloodshot streaks and turbid spots, their pupils disappearing, making them look like a rotting walking corpse.

Some people had a huge slit torn open in their chest and abdomen, revealing no internal organs inside, only a constantly writhing purplish-black head.

Li Ji secretly made a note of this person, and then looked at the person next to him.

The person's head was a faceless mass of flesh, without eyebrows, eyes, nose, or mouth, only a mass of soft flesh that kept wriggling, making a soft rustling sound as it moved.

......

After reading through all the assassins listed in the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) list, a cold smile appeared on Li Ji's lips.

There were fifteen people in total, twelve of whom were extremely ugly, and only Tian Yi had any kindness towards him.

Li Ji entered a guest room and told the others to wait where they were. Tian Yi and Qian Wu followed him in.

After Li Ji left, the group of assassins from Luo Wang immediately began to whisper among themselves.

"Why do I feel like Lord Duan Shui has been acting a little different ever since he came back?"

"I felt it too; Lord Duan Shui's gaze seems even more terrifying now."

"When Lord Duanshui looked at me just now, I almost trembled. I said, 'Lord Duanshui, you haven't discovered anything, have you?'"

Qianxu didn't join the discussion among the group of Luo Wang assassins. He swallowed hard and then walked towards the room Li Ji had just entered.

Tian Yi also went in. She wore a mask, so her expression was not visible, but her face beneath the mask showed a hint of confusion.

Tian Yi pushed open the door first, her long legs stepping over the threshold, her long black hair swaying as she entered, silently looking at Li Ji.

Following closely behind, Qianwu bowed his head and walked steadily. After entering the room, he stood to one side with his head down, not daring to breathe loudly.

Li Ji stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the guest room, his long hair hanging down to his waist, his body covered with a thin layer of water vapor, and water droplets condensed in corners of the room that could not be seen.

As soon as the two stood still, Li Ji turned his head and looked at Tian Yi with a subtle glance.

Tian Yi understood immediately. Without the slightest hesitation, she subtly moved and silently circled around to stand half a step behind Li Ji.

Once Tian Yi was in place, Li Ji slowly turned around to face Qian Wu, and the moisture around him instantly intensified.

Li Ji asked indifferently:

"Qianwu, do you have any complaints about my trip to the Yin-Yang School this time?"

Qian Wu felt a chill run down his spine, and a fine layer of cold sweat beaded on his forehead. He replied, "This subordinate has never dared to utter a complaint."

"Really? There were many setbacks on this journey. Were you dissatisfied with anything?"

Qianxu stiffened, his voice trembling slightly: "Your subordinate obeyed orders without the slightest dissatisfaction."

Li Ji looked at Qian Wu's rat-like head shaking and his tone turned cold:

"No complaints? You've come under my command, but you're carrying out a secret order, aren't you?"

"I......"

Qian Wu was speechless, his back instantly soaked with cold sweat, and he stammered:

"You've misunderstood, sir..."

Li Ji's eyes were deep and unfathomable. The surrounding moisture intensified, and the water droplets condensing on the ground made Qian Wu feel a chill.

"Whose side are you on? Yan Ri, Zhengang... or someone else outside the Luo Wang network?"

Upon hearing these names, Qianwu abruptly looked up, then hurriedly lowered his head again, his voice weak and his legs trembling slightly.

"No, please don't ask anymore, sir..."

Li Ji spoke calmly, uttering a name before posing a question: "So it's Yan Ri. What does he want you to do by sending you to my side?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qianwu's face turned deathly pale. His lips trembled, but he dared not utter another word, for fear that the person in front of him would understand something else.

However, looking at Qian Wu's face, Li Ji nodded and said in a calm tone:

"It seems you were behind those peasant disciples' encounter with Tian Yi that day."

Upon hearing this, Qianwu's mind shattered completely.

He didn't utter a single word related to the question throughout the entire conversation, yet the other party always hit the nail on the head and got the answer from him.

This indescribable yet terrifying feeling instantly shattered Qianwu's rationality.

Duan Shui already knows everything about her, and if she falls into his hands, she will definitely suffer a fate worse than death.

If he returns to Luo Wang, Yan Ri will assume that he revealed the secret, and Yan Ri probably won't let him off the hook then.

A crazy idea suddenly popped into Qianwu's mind: since he was going to die anyway, he might as well defect from Luowang.

The ultimate survival instinct instantly overwhelmed everything. Qianwu didn't care that there was a first-class Heavenly rank and a second-class Killing rank inside the house. He didn't even care that this was the Yin-Yang School's island and that there was a vast ocean outside.

All he wanted now was to escape this room and break free from the control of the monster before him.

Suddenly, Qianwu twisted his body, leaped forward, and pounced on the wooden door of the guest room like a madman.

Just as Qianwu's fingertips barely touched the cold wooden door frame...

Strands of water rose from the ground and instantly wrapped tightly around the wooden door.

Looking at the wooden door that was so close yet impossible to open.

There is no escape.

Qianwu completely lost his mind, and a scarlet bloodlust surged in his eyes.

Rather than be tortured to death by the cruel methods of the top-tier class, it's better to go all out and fight to the death.

Qianwu abruptly stopped his escape, turned around abruptly, and with a swift flick of his wrist, drew out a short blade coated with deadly poison, which was hidden in his sleeve.

He roared and used all his strength to thrust fiercely towards Li Ji's heart!

However, when faced with Qianwu's full-force attack, Li Ji was only covered by a light blue Mingshui True Qi shield.

Qianwu's short blade was less than three feet away from Li Ji, but no matter what he did, he could not move forward even an inch.

Looking at Qianwu struggling in vain before him, Li Ji simply said with a calm expression:

"Why are you in such a hurry to die? Do you think I would kill you?"

In fact, for someone like you, death is not a good punishment.
