Excessive ferocity due to caution

Outside the Bloodline Temple, under the old locust tree beside the dry well, Chris and Su Qingyao were cultivating.

They were all present when Zhao Yi entered through the red lacquered wooden door, and they all felt the suffocating pressure.

The two understood that if they wanted to continue following Zhao Yi and the Jie Sect, they had to strengthen themselves as soon as possible, as they were on Zhao Yi's side.

If one is weak, one can only cower in a corner and watch helplessly when danger comes.

That feeling... was very uncomfortable.

Su Qingyao, in particular, escaped death in the Warring States period, but when her hometown suffered disaster, she was unable to stand up for it. She could only watch helplessly as her father was exhausted and died with regret.

Although she didn't show it, her emotions were in turmoil.

Furthermore, when Zhao Yizhan was in a critical moment and things were about to go wrong, she also failed to step forward. It was Yunfang who intervened and resolved the crisis.

This had a tremendous emotional impact on Su Qingyao.

At that moment, her desire to become stronger was incredibly strong!

The Thirteen Heavenly Kills that Aunt Red Fish taught her years ago were not yet fully mastered by her. Now, having obtained the complete version of the sword manual from her father, Su Qingyao can finally perfect her swordsmanship.

Zhao Yi had always known that this sword technique was extraordinary, not even recorded in the golden Warring States martial arts manual, and that it had enormous potential and could certainly be further developed.

It's just unknown whether Su Qingyao will be able to make any progress in this area in the future.

If she can forge her own path in swordsmanship, she may be able to continue the glory of Fan Qingxue's peak years.

After all, Su Qingyao's current strength is greater than Fan Qingxue's.

She could use the sword that Fan Qingxue couldn't!

The darkest personality remains unchanged, guarding the dry well and absorbing the hymns of all living beings from the old locust tree.

Standing at the mouth of the dry well.

Zhao Yi carefully sensed the waves of resentment emanating from the well, constantly pondering what kind of place the dry well was.

Having experienced the power of the Boundless twice, Zhao Yi is quite familiar with its attributes. Therefore, he can conclude that the dry well deep within his sea of ​​consciousness leads directly to the Boundless!

However, judging from the terrifying power emanating from the well, the place this dry well leads to... must be in the deepest depths of the Abyss!

His strength is indeed much greater than before, but to try to enter the depths of the Abyss just to catch a glimpse of the scenery would be suicide!

Even true rulers dare not venture into that place, which shows just how terrifying the depths of the Abyss are!

"It seems I'll have to come back another time."

Zhao Yi thought to herself silently.

He stepped forward, traversing the Northern Sea in the void, and arrived at that immortal mountain.

The fog thickened, making the entire sacred mountain appear even more ethereal and otherworldly, giving it the feel of a forbidden zone that mortals could not easily trespass upon.

At the edge of Tianshui Pond, under the peach blossom tree, a light rain began to fall.

The boy, wearing a straw raincoat, was fishing by the Tianshui Pond.

A butterfly landed on his shoulder.

Where did the old man go?

Standing beside the boy, Zhao Yi asked a question to the stone-carved boy for the first time.

But the boy did not answer Zhao Yi's question.

The butterfly that had landed on the boy's shoulder flew away, heading west.

Zhao Yi looked at the butterfly, lost in thought.

Soon, the giant island began to tremble.

Zhao Yi sensed something was wrong on the island, quickly left, and traveled to a distance, quietly observing the small island.

After the island trembled for about five minutes, a pair of terrifyingly huge eyes appeared in the depths of the North Sea.

Hollow, dark, devoid of emotion.

The depths of the sea were completely dark, devoid of light.

But those eyes were darker than the seawater.

It seemed to want to devour everything.

"Is something truly suppressed beneath this sea?"

Zhao Yi's eyes flickered.

Before long, the butterfly that had flown away returned to the boy's shoulder, and his deep-sea eyes quickly sank down, disappearing into the depths of the Northern Sea.

Zhao Yi did not linger there any longer.

The giant eyes in the deep sea made Zhao Yi realize how insignificant he was.

It's too powerful, too terrifying!

If it weren't for this small island suppressing him, Zhao Yi was certain that with his current strength, his sea of ​​consciousness would have become food for the owner of those giant eyes!

The sun overhead still shone brightly, and the sound of reading grew louder and louder. Under the sun's rays, moss gradually grew in many barren areas of Zhao Yi's sea of ​​consciousness, adding a touch of life to the desolate scene.

Zhao Yi couldn't describe what kind of power those green mosses contained.

Its existence is by no means governed by the laws of this world.

Unlike the chaotic forces, the forces within the Great Sun did not conflict with the laws of this world in a harmonious manner.

Even Zhao Yi was surprised.

After reviewing the "Silent Mind" technique, Zhao Yi left his mental world and contacted Barbara.

The voice on the other end carried a hint of excitement:

"Isn't this Brother Zhao?"

"It's so rare to see you take the initiative to call me!"

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"Is now a convenient time?"

Barba stretched and yawned:

"That's convenient..."

"I'm the only one in the office right now~"

Zhao Yi went to the window, opened it, and looked at the bustling scene of traffic in the distance of the abandoned city. He said:

"I want to infiltrate the capital."

Barbara remained silent for a moment upon hearing this.

"That's not difficult. Didn't the Jiang family invite you to be their guest minister last time?"

"Join the Jiang family, and as long as they are willing to help, it will be very easy for you to infiltrate the capital."

Zhao Yi's eyebrows shot up:

"You knew about this?"

Barbara scoffed:

"Many people know this... but I also know some things that others don't."

Zhao Yi:

Tell me about it.

Barbara said:

"That old man from the Jiang family risked his life to save you."

"Although I don't know what kind of relationship you two had, this old man borrowed power from the great karma within his natal stone that didn't belong to him at all in order to save you... and he can't repay this power at all."

"It could be as quick as one or two weeks, or as slow as three to five months, but this old man is bound to get into trouble."

"While he's still alive, you can still establish connections with the Jiang family. Once he's dead, it won't be so easy for you to do so."

"Or rather, the treatment you can get from the Jiang family will be much less, and you'll lose your bargaining power."

After she finished speaking, Zhao Yidianyan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What if we don't rely on the Jiang family's power?"

Barbara was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then laughed incredulously:

"Zhao Yi...you don't actually think the capital is some kind of abandoned city, do you?"

"You should have already witnessed some of the grandeur of the capital during your last participation in the Infernal Trial. That kind of place isn't a place where you can just bring a few men in black and grab some watermelon knives to carve out your own territory!"

"Right now, with such a good connection as the Jiang family, it would be a real waste not to use it!"

PS: First update.

Today went by pretty fast, didn't it?

Pretty fast, huh?
