Excessive ferocity due to caution

Jiang Yang, the middle-aged man who was following Jiang Muming, looked at Zhao Yi, who was calm and had stars in his eyes, inside the teleportation array, and his heart was in turmoil!

Having lived in the capital for so many years, he has seen far more geniuses than those in the areas he can see, including those in remote places and those in the thick volumes of history books!

He had never heard of any being in the Chaotic Realm who could modify complex laws just by breaking through to the Great Ferocity Realm!

This is simply not something that can be done by human power!

All living beings are but a drop in the ocean compared to the universe; their understanding of them is extremely narrow and impoverished.

From this perspective, their progress in learning the rules can only be described as snail-like!

It's like someone who has just learned to recite the multiplication table, and you suddenly give them a problem from advanced mathematics.

Such enlightenment often requires a long period of time.

However, the guy inside the teleportation array on the other side of the void gate is just that unbelievable!

In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through the mind of the middle-aged man, Jiang Yang.

For example, take this opportunity to bring Zhao Yi into the Jiang family.

Yes, he has a daughter.

Although it is only six months old.

However, sixteen years is not a long time for a major calamity.

Although this idea does seem a bit too outrageous.

And his wife would most likely not agree.

So Jiang Yang came up with another idea—to take Zhao Yi into the right branch of the Jiang family, which he was in charge of, as a guest minister.

He could offer huge benefits, and Jiang Yang believed that Zhao Yi had no reason to refuse him!

At a time when most of the prominent forces in the capital wanted his life, the Jiang family was undoubtedly Zhao Yi's lifeline!

Otherwise, once today is over, it won't be long before a large number of people come after Zhao Yi!

Moreover, the Li family would absolutely not allow such an enemy to grow stronger!

While Jiang Yang was pondering and calculating, Zhao Yi had already roughly modified the laws within the teleportation array to be compatible with the laws of the Boundless Realm.

A large amount of energy was replenished into the teleportation array from the forty-nine towering golden pillars of light.

Jiang Yang glanced at the old man with a worried expression.

Jiang Muming's face flushed with joy.

They seemed completely unconcerned about the consequences of their actions, which would eventually lead to their deaths.

He sighed inwardly, his respect for the old man growing even stronger.

Even so, he knew he would never become like an old man.

With his energy replenished, Zhao Yi safely passed through the void gate in the teleportation array and returned to the Sky Plaza!

The moment he stepped out of the teleportation array, Jiang Muming immediately canceled his request for the natal gold stone.

The golden pillar of light slowly disappeared.

Zhao Yi patted the dust off his clothes and nodded to Jiang Muming with a relaxed expression:

"Many thanks to Elder Jiang for his great help."

Jiang Muming waved his hand:

"I'm just returning a favor to you."

"You don't need to take it to heart."

Zhao Yi looked down at Feng Nan, whose body was mangled and covered in wounds, and laughed:

"Has it been a long time since you've been beaten up like this?"

Feng Nan replied calmly:

"I just accidentally got bitten a few times by a dog."

Zhao Yi shook his head.

Then he addressed the gazes in the sky that seemed to want to skin him alive:

"Aren't you all surprised that I'm not dead?"

Those who stood silently in the void remained silent.

But their angry and resentful expressions said it all.

Zhao Yi glanced at them and added insult to injury:

"I survived... but all of you are dead."

"I guess you could say you have to give up something to gain something!"

"You have lost your descendants and a great deal of precious treasures, while I have gained a great deal of precious treasures and... a new life."

Upon hearing Zhao Yi's extremely shameless and provocative words, someone in the void finally couldn't hold back any longer.

A burly young man wearing cropped trousers and loafers pointed at Zhao Yi and sneered:

"You scoundrel Zhao Yi, stop your arrogance!"

"The future is long and arduous; how long do you know you can travel there?"

Zhao lit a cigarette, put one hand in his pocket, and calmly looked at the crowd in the void, saying:

"If you don't kill me now that I'm standing here, I will kill you in the future."

"You have no need to doubt my memory."

"I have memorized your faces today, and it won't be long before I... pay you a visit."

Faced with Zhao Yi's threat, someone wanted to make a move against him, but he only glanced at the old man beside Zhao Yi and the small group of Jiang family descendants, and suddenly became deflated.

Fame can sometimes be more useful than ability.

The people from the Jiang family who came today are not particularly strong.

He even brought along a few younger people.

Yet these very people managed to completely subdue the powerful figures from all the major families and forces in the void!

"Zhao Yi, don't think that just because you have a little talent and a bit of luck, you can have the last laugh!"

"Go ahead and be arrogant, but you will definitely regret your words today and your actions in the afterlife!"

"That's right!"

These people from various powerful factions in the capital city left Sky Plaza with extreme resentment and frustration.

Staying here any longer will only bring more misery; it's better to leave.

Only after they had completely disappeared from sight did Zhao Yi turn around and earnestly say thank you to the old man.

"If you insist on expressing your gratitude, why don't you come and become a guest retainer of my Jiang family?"

Jiang Yang, a middle-aged man standing to the side, said this.

"Now, you've made enemies everywhere in the capital, and you've even offended the Li family... Apart from the Jiang family, it seems that no one else is willing or able to protect you."

He extended an olive branch to Zhao Yi.

He also planned to explain to Zhao Yi in detail the benefits of coming to the Jiang family, giving three or five examples, throwing out seven or eight hypotheses, and proposing more than a dozen solutions.

After going through this process, most people will be brainwashed to some extent.

But the old man interrupted Jiang Yang.

"Alright!"

"Let Brother Zhao decide what the future holds!"

Seeing the old man's displeased expression, Jiang Yang immediately shut his mouth and dared not say anything more.

Jiang Muming patted Zhao Yi on the shoulder, took a deep breath, and his voice trembled slightly:

"Well done...you really did a great job!"

"If the Jiang family can produce a young person like you in the future, we old bones can die in peace!"

Zhao Yi smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying.

The old man continued:

"As for joining the Jiang family as a guest retainer... you'd better think it over carefully."

"The Jiang family can indeed protect you, but everything has its pros and cons... You understand this principle."

He glanced at Jiang Yang, how could he not know what his junior was thinking?

Jiang Yang wanted to use his personal connections to recruit talent into his own right wing.

The old man was displeased, but since this was his junior, he did not openly stop him.

Zhao Yi glanced at the heavily injured Feng Nan on the ground and said:

"I am very grateful to Elder Jiang for saving me today."

"As for going to the Jiang family as a guest retainer... we can talk about it later."

"Right now, I should take my friend back to heal... He's dying."

Feng Nan looked up and said seriously:

"I won't die."

Zhao Yi touched his forehead.

"Look, he's already starting to lose his mind and is talking nonsense."

"I'll take him back first."

P.S.: Second update.

Goodnight, my darlings!!

Love you all.
