Excessive ferocity due to caution

For Zhao Yi, power was merely a tool; he did not enjoy the feeling of dominating others.

People who try to satisfy themselves by dominating others are inherently spiritually empty.

They went to great lengths to rid themselves of nihilism.

"After I return this time, the Qin family will make room for you in a bustling commercial street."

Qin Zheng was persuaded by Zhao Yi.

He has now reached this point and has no better choice.

Just as Zhao Yi said, either he would do nothing and go back to wait for death, or he would join him in turning the capital upside down.

Zhao Yi turned around, the smoke swirling between his fingertips floating between the two of them, but it couldn't obscure his sharp gaze.

I'll let you know when it's time to go.

"You won't have to wait too long."

"But is it really worth the rest of the Qin family letting go of something this big?"

Qin Zheng:

"I will persuade them."

"And... I also have reasons that force them to agree."

Zhao nodded.

To demonstrate their sincerity to each other, the two signed a contract.

The assassins of the Jie Sect saw Qin Bai off, and Feng Nan's call arrived as scheduled. Zhao Yi stood at the city gate and answered the phone:

"Fengnan, what's the matter?"

Although Feng Nan is nominally Zhao Yi's superior, in reality, the three of them, including Yan She, are in a cooperative relationship.

"Can Lü Hong go back?"

Feng Nan got straight to the point, and his tone was somewhat urgent.

It's clear that he cares a lot about this.

Zhao Yi threw away his cigarette butt, stomped it out, and turned to walk towards the inner city of the ruined city.

"Nobody wants him to go back alive."

So he won't be going back.

Upon hearing this, Feng Nan's tone softened considerably, but he still asked curiously:

"With such a distinguished status, wouldn't the Lü family cause trouble?"

Zhao Yi randomly hailed a taxi:

"If the Lü family comes with overwhelming force, I would actually feel more at ease."

"After all, they only have three Sovereign Realm experts at their disposal. Even if they all came that day, it wouldn't make a difference... Yunfang set up a large formation outside the ruined city. If they come, we can hold off one of them, and you can kill the remaining two Sovereign Realm experts directly. The Lu family's power will be greatly weakened from then on. As long as we don't do anything to cause the Lu family to be wiped out, those old guys at Tianhai Pass will definitely not have the energy to deal with it."

"But the Lü family is very quiet now, which is pretty much what I expected."

"This proves that Lu Mingbing, the head of the Lu family, is a ruthless and steady ruler. Such a person is hard to lose when he is in a high position because he will not reveal any flaws."

"But the Lü family will definitely find a way to retaliate against us, and it won't be long."

Feng Nan sat in his office building, holding a document given to him by Yan She, and spoke into the phone:

"If you don't let Lü Hong go back, then we'll kill her."

"With his death, the position of chairman of that branch company is now vacant. Yan She will try to deal with other forces, and you can take this opportunity to... rise to power."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow and said:

"Going to star in another new movie?"

Feng Nan hummed in agreement.

"This is where the benefits of not cheating before come in."

"Others need to go through a lot of trouble to get access to the film, but you don't."

Zhao Yi's tone rose:

"That would be great."

"By the way, is the last hunting movie over yet?"

Fengnan:

"Soon."

"So far, everything seems to be going well. The people provided by the Jie Sect are of very high quality. Although there have been many casualties, their organization, escape, decryption, and counterattack have been carried out in a very steady manner. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to acquire the two world seeds."

Zhao nodded:

"That's good."

Feng Nan then said:

When do you plan to start working on your next film?

Zhao Yi:

"It will be ready in two days. I'll finish arranging what I'm doing and then have Chen Fei take his men to the capital."

Fengnan's tone was questionable:

"Wasn't it a bit too rushed?"

"I'm afraid the Lü and Li families won't let you have your way."

Zhao Yi:

"I will make the arrangements."

"By the way, do you know what the Li family has been up to lately? They seem to have been quiet for quite a while?"

Fengnan:

"I don't know, but it's not a good thing."

"Yan She said that back when the capital was first established, although the Li family made great contributions to the Human Federation, there were also many traitors within the family. If they hadn't performed great deeds, most of the Li family members would have been executed!"

"I'm getting off topic... Let's focus on the movie first. I'll give the information to Xu Shengzhi, remember to talk to him about it."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yi's eyes shone brightly.

This will be the last film he worked on for an entertainment company.

Once he succeeds, he will become a full-fledged executive in the entertainment company.

The difficulty of it is self-evident.

However, it's unclear how long he'll be involved in this film; he needs to finish dealing with all the things he has to do first.

So Zhao Yi met with Chen Fei, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and assigned him an important task in the capital.

Inside the office, Zhao Yi patted Chen Fei on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"This mission is different from the past; it concerns the future development of the Jie Sect. Therefore, I want you to actively communicate with Wu Liang and Barbara. No matter what happens, you must think carefully before acting!"

Having gone through many trials and tribulations, Chen Fei now appears much more mature and composed than before, but the passion and starlight in his eyes remain as bright as ever.

"Don't worry, brother!"

"Chen Fei guarantees to complete the mission!"

He was one of the first people Zhao Yi brought along. He was extremely reliable in his work. After being taught by Barbara, Chen Fei became very adept at business and interpersonal relationships. Zhao Yi trusted him quite a bit. This time, sending Chen Fei was also to get a feel for Qin Zheng's influence in the Qin family.

After arranging things for Chen Fei, Zhao Yi went to the Ghost Hotel in Guxuan Town to meet Lü Hong again.

He was tortured so badly that he was no longer recognizable as a human.

"Whatever you want... I'll give you anything, everything..."

"Stop torturing me."

Lu Hong was weak and listless, and the arrogance and pride she once had were long gone from her face.

His hands and feet were bound by chains. Zhao Yi stood in front of him and said regretfully:

"I've been waiting for so long, and there's still no word from your brother..."

"This is the Lü family, and this is your own brother."

"It seems that in your brother's eyes, your life is still not as good as the Li family's."

Lü Hong's voice was hoarse:

"Impossible...impossible!"

"You're lying!"

"What is my identity?"

"How could they possibly just stand by and do nothing?"

Zhao Yi smiled:

Do you consider yourself important?

Lu Hong struggled frantically, shouting weakly at Zhao Yi:

"I am the younger brother of the head of the Lü family!"

Zhao Yi cupped his blood-stained face in his hands and said:

"You're just a parasite."

Slightly——

Zhao Yi snapped Lü Hong's neck.

he died.

The ferocious beast had a strong vitality, but the person who killed it was Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi took out the Taotie and opened Lü Hong's brain. After observing it for a long time, he fell into a long silence.

After a long while, he sheathed his knife and sighed:

"What a piece of junk..."

PS: First update.

Here I'd like to address the issue of not entering the house due to phobia during last night's live stream.

I'm not afraid.

I just had a stomachache at the time.

A new instance is about to open, featuring the last movie, after which it's all about the open world.
