Excessive ferocity due to caution

"Master Su, why not just have the adults inside Qishan take action?"

"Why should I put up with this nonsense!"

Yu Chonglou treated his wounds and came into the hall. He looked at Su Xingcan with resentment in his voice.

He knew that the old man in front of him held a high position and great power, and he also had great respect for the old man.

That's why he couldn't bear to see the elderly being insulted and bullied like that!

Su Xingcan remained calm, opened the teacup lid, and took a sip.

"These people came with great force, and none of them are easy to mess with."

"Moreover, several groups of outsiders have recently arrived in the city, all of them experts at the Unity of Heaven and Man realm. I suspect that something is about to happen, so let's stabilize them for now."

"As long as the people in the city are not in any danger, what's wrong with an old man like me, who's about to die, suffering a little grievance?"

Yu Chonglou gripped the knife even tighter.

Su Xingcan slowly walked to Yu Chonglou's side, his hunched figure already showing signs of old age.

He reached out and gently placed his hand on Yu Chonglou's shoulder.

The latter looked into the old man's shining eyes and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Chonglou... will get better."

"I am unwell and don't have much time left."

"You are the successor I am grooming. Sometimes you can't act on impulse... You are still young, and it's difficult for you to endure these things, but you have the responsibility of all the people of Bright Cliff on your shoulders, so you have to endure some grievances."

Yu Chonglou took a deep breath and blinked, saying:

"I understand, Cliff Master."

Su Xingcan smiled and patted Yu Chonglou's shoulder hard, her face crinkling into a wrinkle.

"Talented people emerge in every generation; the Warring States period will not perish, and Bright Cliff will surely survive this calamity!"

"The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has collected all the legacies of the former six kingdoms. Once the situation stabilizes, our descendants will soon prosper."

Yu Chonglou nodded.

...

After the blood rain, the sky began to brighten.

There were two figures in the wilderness.

One in front of the other.

The woman behind her was limping, holding a blue umbrella in her hand, and walking very slowly.

The man wasn't walking fast; he seemed to be deliberately waiting for the woman behind him.

"How does it feel?"

Zhao Yi suddenly stopped and turned to look at Su Qingyao.

The latter was pale and panting.

"It can remain stable for a long time."

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Master."

The two continued walking towards Bright Cliff.

Last night's bloody rain taught Zhao Yi how "crime" spreads.

Unfortunately, Su Qingyao was infected.

Zhao Yi originally thought that this disease could only infect living people, but he didn't expect that even ghosts could be infected.

However, after learning about the way the disease was transmitted, Zhao Yi promptly performed surgery on Su Qingyao and used the power of the Touch of Oblivion to stabilize her condition.

Currently, although Su Qingyao is a carrier of the disease, she will not be transformed or infect others in a short period of time.

Of course, doing this comes at a price.

Su Qingyao is now on the verge of death, having lost almost all of her strength.

Su Qingyao is no better than an ordinary person now.

"If we go to Bright Cliff, we might find a way to cure your illness."

"If all else fails, I will kill you; I won't let you turn into a monster."

Su Qingyao looked into Zhao Yi's calm eyes and smiled.

"it is good."

On the way, Zhao Yi no longer held back.

He has learned how the disease is transmitted and that the Touch of Oblivion has a great restraining effect on the disease.

If you encounter any ghosts or monsters, kill them on the spot!

"Zhao Yi, the Demon!"

In the distance, a person flying through the air saw Zhao Yi and was overjoyed. He drew his weapon and attacked Zhao Yi, who was sitting on the divine carpet!

"I've been looking for you for a long time, prepare to die!"

boom!

With a wave of his hand, Zhao unleashed the power of the Law of Freedom, which transformed into a mountain, suppressing and killing all those people on the spot!

Meanwhile, the actors who had managed to escape by luck and hadn't yet rushed up saw how terrifying Zhao Yi's strength was and turned pale with fright, turning around and running away!

puff!

Zhao's eyes were like lightning, instantly killing the actor who was flying away in the distance!

After doing all this, Zhao Yi and Su Qingyao boarded the flying carpet and left without looking back.

Based on Zhao Yi's current understanding of the rules, such ordinary low-level powerful beasts don't even have the qualifications to fight him.

The place they randomly arrived at was remote and quite a long distance from Bright Cliff. Fortunately, Su Qingyao's illness was well suppressed and there were no signs of relapse along the way.

Zhao Yi would check on her health every day, and Chris would also come out to help Su Qingyao clean some of the pathogens growing on her body.

She is the consciousness of an evil god, and her tolerance in this regard is far greater than that of Su Qingyao. Even without the help of the Touch of Oblivion, she will not be infected.

Along the way, Zhao Yi killed many actors who tried to harm him.

Of course, Zhao Yi didn't give them a chance to tip off; one move and they would be wiped out!

"If we kill so many people, will the people of the capital be afraid?"

On the magic carpet, Su Qingyao and Zhao Yi stood back to back and asked softly.

Zhao Yi gazed at the red clouds in the distant sky.

"If all the fearless people die, then those who are still afraid will naturally be left."

Su Qingyao remained silent.

She knew that Zhao Yi had always been very bloodthirsty.

Those in positions of power often prefer to make an example of someone to scare others, a tried-and-true method that works whether dealing with enemies or allies.

But Zhao Yi wouldn't.

Su Qingyao had never seen him compromise.

In Zhao Yi's world, there's no need to make an example of someone.

Because the monkeys also have to die.

Three days later, the two appeared outside the city of Bright Cliff.

Soldiers at the city gate came to inquire.

Upon learning Zhao Yi's name, the soldier immediately became nervous. He discreetly arranged for Zhao Yi to enter Bright Cliff while quickly running to inform Su Xingcan.

Inside the main hall, the old man who was studying the stars rushed out as soon as he heard the familiar yet unfamiliar name appear. He then made his way through the maze of rooms to the secret chamber that had been arranged in advance.

The moment Su Xingcan saw Zhao Yi, it felt as if she had lived her entire life.

"A century has passed, Brother Zhao... you haven't aged a bit!"

Su Xingcan's eyes were filled with surprise and shock.

During those difficult years, he had imagined Zhao Yi reappearing more than once.

Even if this person is extremely dangerous.

But the more dangerous a person is, the safer they are if they are your friend.

"It's been a century, do you still remember me?"

Zhao Yi laughed.

Su Xingcan sat opposite Zhao Yi, her eyes unfocused, and sighed:

"How could I ever forget the kindness that saved my life?"

"That cheap, refined drink at the Snowy Tavern back then—I'll never forget it, not even in my dying breath!"

After saying that, Su Xingcan suddenly gave a bitter laugh:

"What a pity...what a pity."

"There are no taverns or wine left at Bright Cliff."

Zhao Yi stared at the tea in his cup.

"Because drinking alcohol makes you more susceptible to illness, right?"

Su Xingcan's expression turned slightly serious.

"Brother Zhao, you know about this too?"

Watching the tea leaves slowly sink in the cup, Zhao Yidao said:

"There's nothing wrong with the wine itself."

"It's because when people drink alcohol, they are more likely to lose their senses and their emotions are amplified."

"And people who are mentally confused, irritable, and easily agitated... are more likely to get sick."

Su Xingcan nodded:

"good!"

"That's why... Bright Cliff no longer sells alcohol."

P.S.: Second update.

It's fixed! It's fixed!

Goodnight, my darlings!
