Excessive ferocity due to caution

"Make a vow with me."

The female ghost's eyes gradually regained their luster.

"If you help me complete my revenge, I am willing to offer you this painting that holds my power."

"But if you don't, I will torture you with the most vicious methods until you die!"

The female ghost reached out her hand to Zhao Yi, and the two intertwined their fingers.

A magnificent power emerged between the two, leaving an imprint on the depths of their souls.

Where is the church?

"What is 'Wujian'?"

After making a pact with the female ghost, Zhao Yi asked her about the Underworld and the church.

The female ghost pondered for a long time, her expression somewhat bewildered.

"A long, long time ago, maybe hundreds of years ago, maybe thousands of years ago..."

"A great change has occurred in the empire."

"A terrifying darkness has corrupted this land, countless strange phenomena have sprung up within the empire, and people have contracted many terrible diseases..."

"At that time, my resentment was still very strong, and there was no need for it to be channeled into paintings. However, due to the immense power of the church, I was unable to exact revenge on Clement..."

"I can only wait quietly for the right opportunity."

"Later, as darkness spread, I thought I had finally found my chance, so I went to the church. Only then did I realize with horror that the church was the source of that terrifying darkness!"

The female ghost's beautiful eyes turned somber as she spoke of this.

"That terrifying darkness brought the entire empire into this place, which is what you call the Abyss."

Zhao Yi thought carefully for a moment and asked:

"And then?"

A murderous glint appeared in the female ghost's eyes:

"I once infiltrated a church that had been corrupted by darkness, and there I saw Clapin. He was deep inside the church, where there was an extremely eerie power, and I could not go any further."

"Later, due to the encroachment of darkness, my resentment could no longer be sustained. Left with no other choice, I sealed all my power and resentment into a painting..."

After listening, Zhao Yi lowered his head and pondered the female ghost's words.

The church was suddenly plunged into darkness and an eeriness?

Did it drag the entire empire into an abyss?

The resentment that can form a cursed object in the void is at least a great evil!

In other words, outside of the period of the Infinite Trial, this land was not sealed by a mysterious force, and the female ghost's strength was at the Great Ferocity level!

Even such a powerful female ghost couldn't penetrate deep into the church!

What's inside?

What is that darkness, and where does it originate?

Are you scared?

Looking at Zhao Yi, who was deep in thought, the female ghost made a rare teasing remark.

Zhao Yi shook his head.

"I'm not familiar with your so-called empire, so you'll have to guide me from now on."

"In the past, I would never have been able to enter a place like that."

"But now many areas of Wujian are sealed off, so it's actually safer for us to go there now."

The female ghost nodded.

"I felt that too."

"In the past, every now and then, a terrifying aura would emanate from the depths of the Abyss, like the breath of some kind of creature..."

"This aura will continue to spread far and wide, and everything enveloped by it will have its strength suppressed to below the level of a Great Fiend!"

Zhao Yi thought of the chains in the sky.

Since he removed the 'personality' from his chaotic body, it will only take ten thousand years for the chaotic body to completely decay.

For some immortal things, ten thousand years is but a fleeting moment, like a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall.

However, for beings below the fifth domain (who do not have infinite lifespans), it is an extremely long process.

Zhao Yi guessed that the seal of Wujian was most likely related to his Chaos Body.

Such a powerful chaotic body could be locked up by the Abyss, so there must be a terrifying depth within it that is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!

The female ghost ended the dream, and the two reappeared at Norton Manor. Under the bright moonlight, the former desolation had been transformed into a thriving scene.

"After betraying you, Clapin seems to be doing quite well."

Zhao Yi couldn't help but sigh.

The female ghost did not answer, but her clenched fists said it all.

"Oh, right..."

Zhao Yi suddenly spoke, pointing in a direction and saying:

What's inside that clock tower?

The female ghost looked in the direction she was pointing, her tone icy:

"It's nothing."

"Just a pathetic creature unwilling to accept reality, yet unable to convince itself otherwise..."

When are you planning to leave?

Zhao Yi said with a smile:

"The sooner the better."

"But before that, I have some personal matters to attend to."

The female ghost raised an eyebrow:

"Those people who were brought here with you?"

Zhao nodded.

The female ghost raised her hand, and mysterious incantations appeared. The seven sleeping trial participants suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Yi, bound hand and foot.

They didn't seem to have realized what had happened.

However, these guys were no ordinary people, and they reacted immediately after only a few seconds!

"Zhao Yi?"

These people struggled desperately, but the ropes binding them were so strong that it was no use.

"Zhao Yi, are you fucking asking for death?!"

"How dare they kidnap us while we were asleep!"

"Can't you see the lady of the house is here?"

"Release us now if you don't want to die!"

Under the bright moonlight, Zhao smiled as he looked at them.

"You guys really enjoy being dogs, don't you?"

These people were slightly taken aback, then looked at the female ghost. Her eyes were cold, and she seemed to have no intention of interfering in the matter.

Some clever people immediately realized that Zhao Yi had successfully "conquered" the female ghost and was now taking revenge on them!

"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao, look at me..."

The speaker was Tian Rong, the entertainment company's movie star who had previously teamed up with Zhao.

Zhao Yi patted his head, and the latter smiled like a dog.

"Actually, I know that you are just like them."

"You're also working for the Li family."

"But I really want to thank you..."

"These people were able to find me so quickly... oh no, I should say I was able to find these people so quickly thanks to you guys sending them my location."

Tian Rong's smile froze.

The next moment, his head was crushed by Zhao Yi.

The female ghost has lifted the seal on Zhao Yi's power.

Blood and flesh splattered on the faces of those nearby, a truly gruesome sight!

Seeing this scene, the others were so frightened that they hurriedly tried to appease Zhao Yi.

"Brother Zhao, Master Zhao!"

"We were forced into this situation!"

"Please forgive us this time! We promise we'll never bother you again!"

Some kowtowed, others forced smiles, even if their smiles looked more like cries.

"Don't beg for mercy, or you'll die looking undignified."

Zhao Yi took out the Sister-Slaying Blade, gently twisted his neck, and smiled brightly.

"Don't worry, you won't be lonely."

"Within a month... I can send at least half of the people down to keep you company."

PS: Second update.

Alright, my darlings, that's all for today. Tomorrow I should start the next chapter.

The secrets that began before the beginning of the Abyss are about to be revealed, little by little.

My darlings, go to sleep early, goodnight!!
