Excessive ferocity due to caution

Chapter 656 Headache

Qin Bai from Fengnan got in touch with Zhao Yi.

Several days later, when Qin Bai saw Zhao Yi again, his face still showed excitement and slight fear.

"Brother Yizi, I'm so glad to finally meet you."

Qin Bai chuckled.

Zhao Yi sat down on the sofa opposite Qin Bai and said jokingly:

"What do you want from me?"

"You want to use my head to curry favor with the elders in your family?"

Qin Bai's face paled, and he coughed dryly, saying:

"Brother Yizi, don't joke like that with me..."

"It was actually Brother Zheng's idea for me to come see you this time."

Zhao Yi asked:

"Why didn't he do it himself?"

Qin Bai sighed:

"Brother Zheng lives in his old house. He spends all his time fishing and playing chess. Unless summoned by someone from the family, he rarely leaves the family, let alone his own courtyard."

"Every time I went to see him, he would tell me things like, once a man is over twenty, he can no longer run around like a child, and he needs to be more stable and mature..."

Zhao Yi smiled.

"For him to say something like that, it seems he really isn't doing well in his family."

"Maybe when you grow up, you'll live like him."

Qin Bai thought for a moment, then said tremblingly:

"Holy crap!"

"That won't do!"

"I'd go crazy if I stayed cooped up in the yard all day!"

Zhao Yi:

"What does Qin Zheng want with me?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Bai's eyes darted around, and he coughed.

"Brother Yizi...do you remember what you told me when you were in the Infernal Realm?"

Zhao Yi touched the stubble on his chin:

"What did you say?"

"That's too many."

Qin Bai prompted:

"It's related to Brother Zheng."

"It's also related to Li Chenglong."

Zhao Yi suddenly realized:

"Did you tell Qin Zheng about that?"

Qin Bai nodded:

"That's right!"

"After we got back that day, Brother Zheng took me to sit next to the tall haystack and listened to me tell stories of the past."

"Then Brother Zheng became extremely concerned about this matter and asked me to find an opportunity to see Brother Yizi again and ask you whether the memories deep within Li Chenglong's sea of consciousness have truly been preserved?"

Zhao smiled and opened a bottle of wine:

"Does he think I'm lying?"

Qin Bai looked troubled:

"Logically speaking, this is certainly not a lie."

"It's just that some things are so bizarre that they inevitably arouse suspicion."

What he was referring to was Zhao Yi's operation of cutting off Li Chenglong's memories in his sea of consciousness and preserving them.

Qin Zheng and Qin Bai had analyzed what terrifying strength a normal person would need to achieve this!

Unconvinced afterward, Qin Bai even went to the family library to check and asked his elders, only to receive the same answer—

A being at the near-Great Fiend realm could absolutely not perform such a miraculous operation as cutting through the opponent's sea of consciousness and memories, given the methods they currently possess!

Zhao Yidao:

"I can take you to see it."

Qin Bai's eyes lit up slightly:

"May I?"

"How do we go see it?"

With expectant eyes, Qin Bai saw Zhao Yi slowly pull out a large stick...

The next moment, everything went black before Qin Bai's eyes.

...

nothingness.

An endless void.

Qin Bai felt his body was light and floating, drifting around in this area.

A sense of loneliness, as if he were detached from the world, enveloped him.

Even though he was not physically ill, Qin Bai felt extremely fearful and uneasy.

He was terrified.

Although he didn't know what he was afraid of.

I don't know how much time passed—

A whisper reached his ear.

This whisper was like a rope, pulling Qin Bai's body in a certain direction.

Qin Bai seemed to have grasped at a straw, and began to struggle frantically, trying to grab onto that elusive 'rope'.

Although he has neither hands nor feet here.

But driven by his obsession, he succeeded.

Qin Bai drifted along the direction of the 'rope' until he finally broke free from the terrifying void and arrived in a world where he could stand on solid ground.

Standing here, Qin Bai's view also broadened.

He saw a giant city floating before him.

Outside the giant city, mysterious shackles entangled everything, their power immense and terrifying, carrying extremely destructive force.

Through these shackles, Qin Bai could vaguely make out some familiar figures occasionally flitting through the giant city.

That's... someone from the Li family.

He tried to approach, but a familiar voice came from behind him:

"Take one more step forward, and you'll be stuck here forever."

Qin Bai knew it was Zhao Yi's voice without even turning around.

This time, however, Zhao Yi's voice was exceptionally majestic and awe-inspiring, making Qin Bai believe that he was the master of this world!

"Brother Yizi... what is this?"

Qin Bai stretched out his hand, sensing the immense destructive power within the giant city from afar, and asked in a trembling voice.

Zhao Yidao:

"What you want."

As Qin Bai's fingertips drew slightly closer, the countless chains outside the giant city felt insulted and transformed into countless sky-binding serpents, frantically spitting their tongues at Qin Bai!

Qin Bai was startled and quickly took several steps back, falling to the ground!

Everything before my eyes began to fade away...

He returned to his previous state of nothingness... until he woke up.

Qin Bai looked at the stark white light above his head, sat up from the cold ground, touched the back of his head, and felt a heart-wrenching pain coming from inside his skull.

Qin Bai stared at Zhao Yi, who was leisurely sitting on the sofa drinking, and couldn't help but smile wryly:

"Brother Yizi... although I don't believe you, I am somewhat offended."

"But you didn't have to teach me a lesson like this... My head hurts."

The strong liquor slid down Zhao Yi's throat, and he said:

"If you don't do it this way, you're already dead."

"Your headache isn't because I hit you with a stick, but because part of your mental power has been destroyed by Li Chenglong's sealed memories."

Qin Bai was stunned.

"Was Li Chenglong's part of his memory... really that terrifying?"

Zhao Yi:

"It's not the memory itself that's terrifying, but the seal outside the memory that's terrifying. With your current level, you simply can't withstand it, but you insist on seeing it, so I had no choice but to resort to this tactic."

"I will sacrifice a portion of your divine will so that you may witness this magnificent spectacle."

"However, you don't need to panic. Since very little of your divine sense was destroyed, it won't affect your physical body. Just get more rest, and you'll be fine."

Upon hearing this, Qin Bai carefully noted it down, then apologized to Zhao Yi and thanked him.

His main purpose in coming here was to confirm whether the information about Li Chenglong's memories was true.

Qin Bai's mission is now complete.

He only needs to go back and talk to Qin Zheng about what he experienced.

Before leaving, Zhao Yi instructed Qin Bai:

"When you get back, help me investigate this person, Huang Liangmeng."

Qin Bai was puzzled upon hearing this, but he didn't ask.

"it is good."

He covered his head and left.

Feng Nan, standing outside the door, watched Qin Bai leave, somewhat curious:

"His divine sense isn't damaged..."

Zhao lit a cigarette:
