Excessive ferocity due to caution

Everyone looked at each other.

They followed the clues they collected from the corpses to find their way here, so they naturally knew how dangerous the outside world was.

Do you know where the disease originates?

Su Xingcan sighed and shook his head.

"I do not know."

The man asked again:

"If that's the case, why are other places ravaged by disease, while Bright Cliff remains unscathed?"

Su Xingcan explained:

"About a hundred years ago, there was a peerless martial artist in the martial arts world named Ren Wudi."

"A hundred years ago, the path of martial arts was severed, and no one could reach the realm of unity with heaven and man. He single-handedly revived this broken path of martial arts for future generations!"

"But later, Ren Wudi went into seclusion in the mountains and forests, no longer concerning himself with worldly affairs. No one knew where he went until later, when disease ravaged the world, and the people of the six kingdoms lived in fear and could not live in peace... Just when we were about to be wiped out by the disease, I received a letter from my old friend Ren Wudi, informing me that there was a formation he left behind at Bright Cliff that could isolate the disease. So I organized the remaining people of the world to come to Bright Cliff to live and multiply!"

Upon hearing this, the questioner calmly replied:

"We plan to stay at Bright Cliff for a while, but we won't be staying for long. Please arrange accommodations for us!"

Su Xingcan secretly let out a breath.

"I will make arrangements immediately, please wait a moment."

Just as he turned to leave, a woman called out to him again:

"By the way, old man, I have something else to ask you..."

Su Xingcan paused, looking at the two guards at the city gate in front of him, who were gripping their swords tightly with anger in their eyes. He smiled slightly, pressed his palm down lightly, and signaled them not to let their emotions control them.

Turn around.

"Is there anything else you need, young lady?"

Su Xingcan's attitude was humble, a stark contrast to the spirited and arrogant scholar he once was.

The woman raised her chin and said slowly:

Has anyone named Zhao Yi been to town recently?

Upon hearing this, Su Xingcan's heart skipped a beat!

Zhao Yi?

"May I ask what Zhao Yi, whom you speak of, looks like?"

He did not reply immediately.

The woman seemed to lose patience; her eyebrows furrowed, and she said coldly:

Yes, or no.

"Why is the old man asking so many questions?"

Su Xingcan slightly raised her eyelids, and after a moment of silence, said:

"There was no Zhao clan during the Warring States period."

There is no one with the surname Zhao in the city.

The woman exchanged glances with her companions and said calmly:

"You can get out now."

"If you encounter someone named Zhao Yi later, remember to notify us immediately."

Su Xingcan nodded slightly, suppressing her anger as she left.

These people were quickly given accommodations, and they gathered in the courtyard to discuss their next steps.

"Yang Fei, what did General Manager Huang say to you last time?"

The young man asked the arrogant woman a question.

Yang Fei slowly sipped her hot tea, crossed her legs, and had a cool expression.

"Huang Liang Meng made me determined to bring Zhao Yi's body back..."

The others frowned:

"Why not just hand it over to the Li family?"

Yang Fei admired the expensive ring on her fair right finger and said lazily:

"Whoever offers the highest price, we'll give it to them."

"Besides, the Li family only wanted Zhao Yi dead, not his body."

"Take Zhao Yi's body back to the capital, show it to the Li family, get their reward, and then give the body to Huang Liangmeng so they can get another sum."

The young man lowered his head in deep thought.

"I just wonder if Zhao Yi will die out there."

"If he dies outside, it will be much more troublesome for us to find his body later."

Yang Fei glanced at a cold, sinister light.

"This guy may be a savage, but he's actually quite lucky."

"Presumably, he shouldn't have been left to rot in the wilderness."

"Let's wait for him at Bright Cliff for a few days. If he hasn't arrived yet, we can ask that old man to send people out to help us investigate."

The other woman hesitated slightly.

"I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Yang Fei scoffed:

"Didn't you see that old man was afraid of us?"

"This Bright Cliff is nothing special."

"They're probably just a bunch of useless old, weak, and disabled people—just expendable resources!"

"Shuqin, you're always so timid and hesitant. Have you been corrupted by these useless, stinky men?"

"Your behavior is negatively impacting the team's performance. If you continue to be hesitant and fearful next time, I might consider kicking you out."

The woman called Shuqin looked unpleasant, but she didn't say anything back.

Within the team, one's status is immediately apparent.

"Alright, I feel like my words have touched your soul."

"And you guys, when you're doing things, you need to be more efficient and decisive..."

"The capital city... has no shortage of people."

Yang Fei snorted coldly, got up, and walked into the room.

"I'm going to rest now. Let me know immediately if there's any news."

After she entered, the young man and the others exchanged glances before leaving the courtyard.

"That self-righteous woman... why doesn't she just die?"

Wang Shuqin was furious.

For her own benefit, Yang Fei applied for a role in the movie without consulting the rest of the team, bringing them to this strange and dangerous world.

"Wasn't she just afraid of coming alone without anyone to help her, so she forced us to come along?"

"Now you're blaming us for being timid and hesitant?"

"What is she?"

The young man sighed and lit a cigarette with a sense of melancholy.

"To be honest, even if we do find Zhao Yi, we might not be his match."

"If you had seen how Zhao Yi broke through the Great Calamity in the Infernal Realm and modified the laws of the teleportation array in Sky Plaza, you would know that if we were to encounter him head-on... the odds would be against us."

Honestly, even after years of immersing himself in the world of evil, he didn't possess the same profound understanding of the laws as Zhao Yi.

The middle-aged man beside him spoke up:

"How about... we run away?"

The other five people stopped and looked at the middle-aged man with incredulous eyes.

"Old Tan, what did you say?"

The middle-aged man, Tan Xiao, said seriously:

"You guys aren't really going to die with that crazy woman, are you?"

This time, Wang Shuqin, who had been criticizing Yang Fei, stopped talking and said with some surprise:

"With so many of us, and all of us at the mid-level of the Great Fiend realm, surely we can handle Zhao Yi?"

Tan Xiao:

"Last autumn, in the middle of the month, I went to hunt down the Hai family's fugitives. They were powerful enough to be considered high-level villains. Didn't I go too?"

"You've all worked with me for years and know who I, Tan Xiao, am. I'm willing to take a gamble even if there's only a 10% chance of winning... but this time I really think I'm going to die."

"Zhao Yi, that freak, has a monstrous understanding of the rules!"

"As soon as I find Zhao Yi's whereabouts, I will run away immediately. If any of you are willing to take this reward, you can follow Yang Fei."

Tan Xiao had a clear understanding of his own position, and after Sky Plaza, he completely gave up the idea of ​​hunting down Zhao Yi.

Firstly, the other party's background is unclear, and he is not a savage as outsiders say. If he really were a savage, the Jiang family would probably not be protecting him like this!

Secondly, he didn't believe he had the ability to capture and kill this arrogant and ignorant demon.

Seeing the middle-aged man walk alone down the long street, the others looked at each other and fell silent.
