Excessive ferocity due to caution

Recover from fragments of memory.

The pool of blood in front of them had turned into clear water.

The third memory fragment contains a large amount of information.

Zhao Yi stared at his reflection in the clear pool water, his eyes becoming much clearer.

"The Immortal Path... Abyss..."

"I remember now..."

"They withheld my true form..."

"Too bad... I didn't expect I'd still manage to escape, did I?"

Zhao Yi grinned.

After the Darkest Personality escaped with him, the chaotic body left behind in the Abyss would soon disappear.

Although the power of the darkest personality accounts for only a fraction of Zhao Yi's true form.

But this one cent is the most crucial part.

With this one cent, the darkest personality can slowly regain its power.

Infiltrated by the chaotic power of the Holy Mountain, the Path to Immortality is not only filled with great calamity and strangeness, but even more terrifying is the presence of ominous remnants from the chaotic era...

For example, without interruption.

Or perhaps some ancient creatures.

Those things... carry ancient laws, making them far more terrifying than ordinary ferocious beasts!

"I certainly wouldn't end up in a place like that out of nowhere..."

"The Immortal Path leads to the Holy Mountain. Should I go to the Holy Mountain... or should I leave from the Holy Mountain?"

Zhao Yi's eyes flickered.

News about the game appeared at this time.

[You have learned and unlocked a new skill from fragmented memories—Red Robe - Unrivaled]

[Red Robe - Unrivaled: Greatly unleashes one's potential, increasing strength by 30% for a duration with no side effects. Lasts 5 minutes, 1-hour cooldown.]

Strength increased by 30%?

Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow.

Good heavens, is this some kind of outrageous bloodline technique?

If he merges with the power of the Darkest Personality, and combines it with Peerless, along with his title and the effects of his techniques, his power will have reached 4500+ in these five minutes!

Why did it suddenly swell up?

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows.

If he puts in more effort and manages to create the red-level cultivation technique "The Analects", wouldn't he be able to stack all the buffs and directly confront ordinary near-great monsters?

Having withdrawn from the spiritual world, Zhao Yi waited at the Xieshan Hotel for two days.

The people from the Green Bamboo Society arrived very quickly.

After all, the Crown Prince is still in Zhao Yi's hands.

Their leader is called Yamashita Tanaka.

He is currently the main manager of the Qingzhu Society.

Upon meeting the young master, Kamenoda, Yamashita Tanaka surprisingly remained calm, showing no anger whatsoever.

He stopped his subordinate from taking action and bowed gently to Zhao Yi, who was sitting on the sofa, saying in a soft voice:

"Young Master has been spoiled since childhood and is ignorant... I apologize to the adults on behalf of Young Master."

Although this person looks fierce, his eyesight is much sharper than that of the others in the Green Bamboo Society.

As someone who was about to break through to the Quasi-Great Ferocity Realm, he couldn't see through the Warehouse Ghost's strength, which made him very wary!

Moreover, outside a hotel, there were hundreds of elite guards, many of whom were close to the level of a half-step Great Fiend, yet they remained disciplined and showed no arrogance whatsoever.

In their eyes, all that remained when they looked at Zhao Yi was awe and piety!

It seems that in their eyes, Zhao Yi is a god.

Not to mention that they were a group of vicious and evil spirits.

Even if you wanted to reprimand a group of people like that, it would be extremely difficult!

These details are enough to prove that Zhao Yi is no ordinary person!

Such a way of winning people's hearts cannot be achieved by simply using a combination of kindness and severity.

Zhao Yi must have done something extraordinary that deeply shocked all these ghosts, which is why they are so humble and respectful towards him!

As someone who climbed his way up from the bottom, Tanaka Yamashita was quite confident in his insight and analytical abilities.

Based solely on these details, he knew that there was absolutely no way to forcefully take the young master of the Green Bamboo Society from Zhao Yi.

Today... Zhao Yi invited him to discuss business.

In reality, it was a way to bleed the Green Bamboo Society dry.

Maintaining a humble attitude might help mitigate some of the losses.

Seeing the situation in the fields at the foot of the mountain, Zhao Yi's eyes flashed with a subtle hint of admiration.

This guy... has really high emotional intelligence!

"No need for an apology."

Zhao Yi crossed his legs and waved his hand, gesturing for Shan Xia Tianzhong to sit down.

The latter then became less polite.

After he sat down, Zhao said with a smile:

"As for me, I don't care about the life or death of your Green Bamboo Society's heir."

"I only care about business."

Upon hearing this, Yamashita Tanaka remained silent for a moment before picking up the drinks from the coffee table.

What do you need?

Zhao Yi:

"I have abundant mineral and steel resources here, and there are many wealthy merchants in Guxuan Town who also want to move to the abandoned city... but it won't be easy for new forces from outside to settle there..."

"I need an 'introducer'."

Yamashita Tanaka pondered for a moment.

"That's not difficult... but the problem is that the Green Bamboo Society doesn't have much influence in the ruined city, and it has recently offended some people... so if we introduce you, it's very likely that you, sir, will also be drawn into this conflict."

"Does Your Excellency mind?"

Zhao Yi said calmly:

"Don't ask me such a hypocritical question."

"I had no choice."

Yamashita Tanaka exhaled:

"In that case, sir, please send a few reliable men with me to scout out the ruined city."

"So... are there any other conditions?"

Zhao Yi smiled slightly:

"I'd like to know more about Luanjie Entertainment Company..."

Upon hearing this, Yamashita Tanaka's expression changed drastically!

His eyes held a mixture of emotions, and after a long pause, he finally spoke:

"If I may ask, what grudge do you have against the entertainment company?"

Zhao Yi stared at him for a moment, then suddenly laughed:

"No!"

What grudge could I possibly have against an entertainment company?

Yamashita Tanaka exhaled:

"You scared me!"

He was terrified that Zhao Yi might have some kind of bad entanglement with that behemoth of an entertainment company.

Because the Green Bamboo Society is now involved with the Jie Sect, if the Jie Sect offends the entertainment company, the Green Bamboo Society may also be regarded as an enemy by the entertainment company...

Tanaka Yamashita was very clear about the strength of the Seitakesha.

They were quite well-known in their area, even in the ruined city.

Compared to the behemoth that is Luanjie Entertainment Co., Ltd., it's like the difference between a chick and a tiger!

"Chaos Realm Entertainment Co., Ltd... is the largest entertainment company in the Chaos Realm. I don't know when they started to grow, but I do know that the power of entertainment companies is unprecedentedly terrifying, and has even subtly overshadowed the Fifth Federation and the Church..."

Zhao Yi was surprised:

"Not even comparable to the Church and the Fifth Federation?"

Yamashita Tanaka remained silent for a while:

"Inaccurate."

"It should be said that their soft power is stronger than that of the Fifth Federation and the Church."

"If things really come to a head, the Fifth Federation and the Church are not to be trifled with."

"But to this day, no one knows where the entertainment company's headquarters and the mastermind behind it are located..."

"They will approach almost every force in the chaotic world with some potential for development and send them invitations to participate in reality shows organized by entertainment companies..."

"Some of them are participating as guests, and some are working behind the scenes."

"In short... it's all about making money."

Zhao Yi pondered:

Is there a way to proactively contact Chaotic World Entertainment Co., Ltd.?

Yamashita and Tanaka shook their heads.

"Those we managed to contact were all insignificant nobodys."

"Anyone who can be of even a little bit in charge is out of contact."

"However... once you have some assets of your own in the ruined city, the executives of the entertainment company will contact you."

Zhao nodded:

"I understand... Well then, I'll have to keep Kamenotaji for now..."

"If you're not comfortable with this, you can send someone to check on his safety once a month."

"Once the Jie Sect has established a firm foothold in the ruined city, we will naturally release them."

One of Tanaka Yamashita's subordinates immediately changed his expression and stepped forward to say something, but was stopped by Yamashita:

"Go back!"

The subordinate clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with a hint of ferocity as he looked at Zhao Yi.

But they still took a step back.

Zhao glanced at him and smiled:

"Your dog seems to hold a grudge against me."

Yamashita Tanaka forced a smile.

"Please don't mind them, sir... they're used to being arrogant and domineering in Langcheng."

Zhao Yi said lazily:

"Since it's our first meeting, and you didn't bring any gifts, how about... you give me a pair of eyes?"

Yamashita Tanaka's expression changed slightly, but before he could speak, he heard a shrill scream from his subordinate behind him.

He turned around quickly, and the hairs on his body stood on end!

The tin-bodied ghost had somehow appeared behind him, clutching two bloody eyeballs in its hands!

Just now, he confirmed that this tin ghost was destined to be extremely unlucky!

His ungrateful subordinate was kneeling on the ground in agony, his hands tightly covering his eyes.

A large amount of blood flowed from between his fingers...

Zhao Yi elegantly adjusted his collar, lowered his head, and lit a cigarette.

"I don't like that look in his eyes."

"You have to remember..."

Exhaling a smoke ring, Zhao Yi addressed Yamashita Tanaka, whose face was extremely pale:

"If there's a next time... it won't just be a pair of eyes."

Yamashita Tanaka took a deep breath.

"knew……"

"Thank you for sparing my life, sir. I will properly discipline my subordinates in the future!"

Zhao Yi sent a few of his more astute assassins with Yamashita Tanaka to Langcheng to pack up, and then they were to scout out the abandoned city.

After they left, the warehouse ghost opened the pair of eyes in its hand and asked Zhao Yi:

"Master, what should we do about these eyes?"

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"I'll cook a dish to nourish Fangfang."

P.S.: The next dungeon will be more ancient... a ghost and scholar series.
