Excessive ferocity due to caution

"Slay me..."

The moment Zhao Yi heard this word, he knew that Ren Wudi was playing with something very new.

The human skeleton continued:

"This is a cultivation method he found in the Daoist lineage, called Severing the Three Corpses. However, the historical records left behind are too scarce to practice. So, inspired by this, he created his own profound technique called 'Severing Myself,' which successfully suppressed the evil spirits in his body for a long time."

Zhao Yi pondered for a moment.

"So... he no longer has a heart and bones?"

Human bones:

"more than."

"He must have killed many other things related to him... but due to the strange corruption, I don't remember much of it either."

"The earth vein fire can help me suppress the resurgent evil, but it will also destroy my body."

"Soon, the evil within me will resurface once more."

"But this time, I don't want to continue this cycle of reincarnation."

Zhao Yi said very considerately:

"Do you need any help?"

Human bones:

"Just throw me into the fire."

"This brazier, born of heaven and earth, will completely melt me."

Zhao Yi:

"no problem."

The human skeleton continued:

"If you want to find him, you have to go to the State of Qi."

"But... no one knows for sure what he looks like now."

Zhao Yi walked towards the human bones and casually said:

"You can't even kill me?"

The human bones shook their heads.

"Those eerie things, I don't know where they come from... They're terrifying, there's no way to resist them."

"He was in a very bad state when he left. I just hope he found a new method, otherwise..."

The story about the human bones didn't continue.

Zhao Yi walked up to it and pushed the human bones into the fire in front of him.

A thick plume of black smoke rose up.

Human bones melted.

The sound of a rotting heart was extremely muffled.

"I see my future in him."

Zhao Yi asked curiously:

"Are you also suffering from a serious illness?"

The rotting heart replied:

"nature……"

Zhao Yi comforted it, saying:

"Or should I throw you in too?"

The rotting heart was startled:

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

"I was just expressing my feelings, don't get so into it!"

Zhao Yi returned.

On the way, they saw the corpse of the Taoist priest they had seen at the intersection earlier.

He lay on his back on the ground, staring blankly at the sky, a strange smile on his face.

He was killed by a vengeful ghost.

There were very obvious signs of a fight nearby.

Moreover, the Taoist's corpse was gradually transforming. Without saying a word, Zhao Yi threw the Taoist's corpse directly into the corpse-shredding machine.

With a deafening roar, the Taoist's corpse was instantly reduced to a mangled mess.

...

Bright Cliff.

"Master Cliff, good news!"

Guan Kai rushed back to Su Xingcan's room in a great hurry and excitement.

The latter, who was looking distressed, saw Guan Kai's expression and quickly asked:

"What's wrong?"

Guan Kai handed a handwritten letter to Su Xingcan:

"The Lantern Keeper has sent a message saying that the vengeful spirits gathered in Burial Valley have dispersed!"

Su Xingcan was stunned:

"It's over?"

"What happened?"

Guan Kai took a sip of the tea that Su Xingcan handed him and said:

"I heard it's Zhao Yi..."

"That guy was really impressive; he killed hundreds of vengeful ghosts with a single stroke!"

The lantern patrolmen sent by the Prime Minister to inspect the scene were dumbfounded!

Su Xingcan's heart skipped a beat.

He killed hundreds of vengeful ghosts with a single stroke?

Zhao Yi... is that fierce?!

Is the news true?

Guan Kai stared wide-eyed:

"How could this be fake?!"

Su Xingcan's tense old face finally relaxed a bit, but suddenly, he slapped his forehead:

"Oh no!!"

Guan Kai:

"What's wrong?"

Su Xingcan's eyes widened in surprise:

"Those twenty children...the children were sent to Qishan!"

"Quickly...send people to retrieve it!!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Kai hurriedly ran outside!

If there are no external threats, those children will naturally not have to die for the time being!

Not long after Guan Kai left, Yu Chonglou sent someone with news that Zhao Yi had entered the city and, under the guidance of a special person, returned to the secret residence that Su Xingcan had arranged for him.

Su Xingcan hurriedly went to visit him.

Upon seeing Zhao Yi, he hurriedly bowed deeply.

"Many thanks, Brother Zhao, for saving the people of Bright Cliff from their dire straits!"

Zhao Yi checked on Su Qingyao, who was sitting in the pavilion, and said:

"You don't need to thank me."

"Because I don't care about their lives or deaths at all."

"It just happened to be convenient."

Su Xingcan smiled upon hearing this, but her expression suddenly changed when her gaze turned to Su Qingyao.

"Miss Su, what's wrong...?"

Zhao Yi:

"She has contracted a disease."

"I used a special method to control her condition, and she is temporarily out of danger, but it's only a temporary solution."

"To completely cure her, we need to find the source of the disease."

Su Xingcan remained silent.

For Bright Cliff, Su Qingyao was a ticking time bomb.

In the past, he would never have allowed an infected person to stay in Bright Cliff, not even his wife, daughters, teachers, or even his parents.

But at this moment, he couldn't refuse Zhao Yi.

He couldn't kick Su Qingyao out.

Su Xingcan is a smart person.

He knew he couldn't afford to offend Zhao Yi, and he also knew that this was someone he absolutely couldn't mess with.

"Master... Mr. Zhao has suppressed my illness very well; it's not contagious."

Just as Su Xingcan remained silent, a weak but gentle voice rang out.

Su Xingcan snapped out of her daze and noticed a pair of bright eyes staring at her.

There's a special feeling in it.

Su Xingcan couldn't say what it was, but the moment he touched it, he felt extremely guilty.

"I'm sorry... Miss Su."

"For decades, when I consider things, I always subconsciously put the people of Bright Cliff first."

Su Qingyao shook her head understandingly.

"It's okay."

"If it were me, I would do the same."

With just a simple sentence, Su Xingcan felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

He was about to say something when Guan Kai burst in again, his face deathly pale.

"Cliff Master..."

His lips trembled.

Seeing him like this, Su Xingcan's heart skipped a beat.

"Was it recovered?"

Guan Kai and Su Xingcan exchanged a glance and stiffly shook their heads.

"Those ten pairs of children... have already been sent to Qishan."

Su Xingcan staggered and almost fell, her eyes bloodshot.

Zhao Yi was somewhat surprised:

"What happened?"

He rarely saw Su Xingcan like this.

Su Xingcan looked at Zhao Yi, and her dull eyes lit up again.

He said in a trembling voice:

"Brother Zhao...could you do me a favor?"

P.S.: It's a little late.

I'm so sorry.

Goodnight, my darlings!!
