Excessive ferocity due to caution

"Perhaps, but by then, your fate won't change."

Zhao Yi, carrying a knife, approached the eerie man. His entire body was shrouded in a terrifying ominous aura, and the blood flowing from his wounds had turned purplish-black.

"Heh heh, let's see how long you can keep up your arrogance!"

The strange man's tone was full of resentment, venom, and coldness.

Zhao Yi raised the knife in his hand.

Clang!

Slash it down without mercy.

The strange man's body was decapitated, the ominous entanglements on his body disappeared, and his body returned to its original state.

His face was no longer an indescribable shape; it had become Ren Wudi's face.

Zhao Yi stared calmly at Ren Wudi's corpse.

It's clear from the previous exchanges that Ren Wudi succeeded.

The method of slaying me bought him precious time, allowing Ren Wudi to walk behind the red lacquered wooden door.

Something eerie seeped out from behind the wooden door and took over Ren Wudi's body.

"cough--"

Zhao Yi's chest suddenly heaved violently, and he coughed up a mouthful of black blood!

He planted his knife on the ground, panting heavily.

Su Qingyao, who was in the distance, wanted to come over, but Zhao Yi stopped her.

"stop."

Zhao Yi spoke.

Su Qingyao froze, her expression anxious, but she remained standing in place.

After the strange entity that had possessed Ren Wudi's body was killed, Su Qingyao's illness stopped worsening and began to gradually recover under the conditioning of the Touch of Oblivion.

The vengeful ghosts that had been wandering the streets in the distance from the capital of Qi were now wailing, their bodies emitting black mist as they dissipated into the air.

Soon after, these vengeful spirits evaporated along with the black mist, leaving only withered and decaying shells scattered across the ground.

The participants in the distance watched all this in astonishment, then turned their gaze to Zhao Yi.

Since Zhao Yi killed the source of the disease, everything in the Warring States period has been improving at a visible speed... except for himself.

Everyone could see that Zhao Yi's condition was deteriorating.

Moreover, it's not hard to tell from his previous conversation with the strange man that Zhao Yi is about to follow in the footsteps of the invincible, being led into an unknown territory by some extremely terrifying omen, and then disappearing forever...

The eyes of these people are filled with complexity.

In particular, some of them had old grudges against the Li family and were thinking that they could use Zhao Yi to make the Li family pay the price.

But now, they feel regret.

Zhao Yi is unlikely to survive.

In a daze, Zhao Yi could see a red lacquered wooden door hidden deep in the mist in another mysterious world, constantly approaching him.

That old and ordinary wooden door seemed to possess a magical power, bringing endless fear to people.

That feeling is very similar to being chased by something terrifying in a dream. In reality, the outcome is probably nothing more than death, but at that moment, the fear in the dreamer's heart far exceeds the fear of death!

The power contained within this fear transported Zhao Yi's mind into a world where reality and illusion intertwined, leaving Zhao Yi in a daze!

Moreover... this is not an illusion.

Therefore, even Zhao Yi, who had always made significant achievements in the spiritual realm, began to have doubts—

In which world is he now?

The two worlds were clearly separated, yet they seemed to completely overlap. When Zhao Yi opened his eyes, he could see the palace of the Qi Kingdom's Divine Ying Mausoleum, as well as the mist and the red lacquered wooden door that was moving towards him from a distance in the mist!

This has a very significant impact on Zhao Yi's vision.

But he adapted very quickly.

After putting away the Taotie, Zhao Yi slowly walked into the Divine Hero Mausoleum.

The wounds on his body grew tendrils like vines, constantly resisting the erosion of the curse, while the power of the red-clothed bloodline surged at this moment, helping Zhao Yi to regain his senses.

Inside the innermost part of the Shenying Mausoleum, there is a very conspicuous memorial tablet.

There was a book next to it.

Zhao Yixing went to the memorial tablet and saw three characters engraved on it.

—Ren Wudi.

Clearly, this is the "Slay Me" method that Ren Wudi left for future generations.

Help practitioners who embark on the path of "Evil Comes" to resist that ominous sign and calamity!

Opening the book's title page, the first page reads:

[Those who come after, if they see this book, should simply continue on their path.]

The road ahead is arduous, the wind and snow are desolate; seeing my bones, may they help you chase the light.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yi's world suddenly turned blood red. He quickly closed his eyes, and whispers echoed in his ears.

"The ominous presence behind the wooden door is truly extraordinary... It can still erode me so quickly, even with the combined resistance of the Touch of Oblivion and the power of my bloodline."

"However, it just so happens that Ren Wudi's 'Slay Me' technique is available. If I return to the ruined city and teach the 'Slay Me' technique to Fangfang, I might be able to learn a lot of useful information about the red lacquered wooden door from her."

Like Ren Wudi, Fangfang was also a practitioner of the "Evil Comes" path in the past.

Moreover, judging from the fact that she was able to find a way to suppress the ominousness within herself, Fangfang was by no means an ordinary person in this regard, and must have been an extraordinary being in the past!

Although he is not as good as Ren Wudi, he can still provide Zhao Yi with a lot of help.

Unlike cultivators like them who choose the path of "evil," Zhao Yi is haunted by the resentment of some being behind the red lacquered wooden door. Therefore, the red lacquered wooden door deep in the mist is more targeted at Zhao Yi, and gives him less time!

He needs to hurry.

After leaving the hall, filming was completed.

Zhao Yi's journey to becoming a Best Actor has come to a complete end.

Filming for "Exorcising Evil" has wrapped!

A powerful suction force pulled all the characters out of the Warring States period world...

...

Filming for the movie "Exorcist" has been completed.

[Rewards will be settled in the next few days. Please check your accounts.]

...

The Warring States period, more than a decade later.

The carriage bumped and rattled along the gravel path, its wheels bearing the marks of wear and tear.

"Brother, Xiao Zhi told me last time that a new batch of cosmetics arrived in the city. When we go to the market in the city this time, should we get some for Mother?"

"Cosmetics? Isn't that something only rich people use? Wouldn't it be better to buy a few more pounds of rice and flour? Winter is coming soon, we need to prepare some food at home, otherwise, if the snow closes the roads, it will be inconvenient to travel, and that will be a real problem!"

"Oh~"

A girl in plain clothes sat on a dilapidated carriage, resting her elbows on the wooden window sill, gazing at the desolate scenery outside with a dreamy look in her eyes.

After a long while, she turned her rosy cheeks and said to the man driving the horse:

"Brother...please tell me the story of Bright Cliff again!"

"How did Grandpa Su manage to stop the invasion of those demons and monsters from outside?"

The young man raised his whip and lashed it across the horse's back, saying:

"It is said that once upon a time, a divine being descended from the heavens..."
