"Wang Yi, you should leave quickly! Otherwise, when Zhou Yan arrives, you won't be able to get away," Zhao Ruixue said urgently as she approached.
"I'm fine, don't worry. I know what I'm doing," Wang Yi replied, noticing the worry etched on Zhao Ruixue's beautiful face. "I've already broken through to the Mysterious Realm. Even if Zhou Yan comes personally, he won't be able to stop me from leaving."
"What?" Zhao Ruixue exclaimed, her eyes wide with disbelief as she looked at the confident Wang Yi.
"Hahaha, kid, not bad! Are you planning to be the hero who saves the beauty or take her home?" Fire Spirit laughed heartily from the Identification Storage.
"This is not the time for jokes. Next, I will reclaim all the humiliation I've suffered," Wang Yi thought bitterly.
All of this was brought upon him by Zhou Yu and his son. Being expelled from his sect and hunted down repeatedly had filled Wang Yi with a terrifying desire for revenge against Zhou Yan and his father.
"Yuer."
"Wang Yi, I want to kill you."
At that moment, an angry voice shattered the air and descended upon them.
"Zhou Yan, how does it feel to experience the pain of losing a child?" Wang Yi said, looking at the furious Zhou Yan. "You brought this upon yourselves."
"I was quietly cultivating in Kaiyang Sect when Zhou Yu repeatedly tried to kill me. He secretly harmed my brother Niu Meng, and it was you two who forced me into a corner. Everything that has happened is a result of your actions," Wang Yi said calmly as he faced Zhou Yan.
"You... deserve to die." Zhou Yan's face was filled with murderous intent.
Kill!
"I, Wang Yi, return, and that will be the day your Zhou family is exterminated." Wang Yi stood motionless as he faced Zhou Yan's fierce punch, which only fueled Zhou Yan's anger further.
"Wang Yi..." Zhao Ruixue exclaimed.
"Overestimating oneself," the Grand Elder scoffed.
"Hmph, you deserve it," Second Elder remarked.
Ah!
Accompanied by a piercing scream, everyone saw that before Zhou Yan could even get close to Wang Yi, he was already standing still on the ground, and a stream of crimson blood flowed down from his head.
With a thud, Zhou Yan, who had been dominating Xiangzhou Prefecture without anyone daring to stop him, fell dead just like that.
"What?"
"Impossible."
"No... Wang Yi, you must leave quickly. Zhou Yan's younger brother is the current Prime Minister and a Breakthrough Expert. If he finds out that Zhou Yan died at your hands, he will definitely kill you," Zhao Ruixue urged anxiously.
"And there's the Zhao Family," Wang Yi replied calmly.
"He’s gone mad."
"A madman, he must be a madman."
The Grand Elder and the Second Elder, almost everyone believed that although Wang Yi had killed Zhou Yan and his son, he was doomed because everyone knew that Zhou Mengling would not let Wang Yi go.
“Zhao Ruixue, I will come back,” Wang Yi said as he looked at the beautiful woman before him, pulling her into his embrace and inhaling the fragrance of her hair, murmuring softly.
With that, he moved his feet and disappeared without a trace.
“I will wait for you…” Zhao Ruixue gazed at the empty air where he had been, her delicate face flushed as if she were intoxicated.
Zhao Family.
At this moment, chaos reigned.
“Hurry, we need to leave immediately!” Zhao Ren shouted urgently. “Wang Yi is coming; he has already killed Zhou Yan and will be here soon.”
“No, it’s impossible! Father, Uncle Zhou is a Transcendent Realm Expert; how could he be killed by Wang Yi?” Zhao Shanyu said in disbelief.
“Don’t ask questions, just go!” Zhao Ren yelled.
“Thinking of leaving? None of you will get away today.”
A cold and merciless voice came from the distance, reaching Zhao Ren's ears. He involuntarily trembled and fell to his knees, saying, “Young Master Wang, spare me! I was blind and failed to recognize your greatness. Please have mercy and let me go!”
“Spare you?” Wang Yi looked at the terrified Zhao Ren, his eyes filled with killing intent. “If it were you, would you spare me?”
“I’ll fight you!” Zhao Ren roared, his desire to survive overcoming his fear. But it was futile; he felt a chill in his throat and then knew nothing more.
“Father.” Zhao Shanyu collapsed onto Zhao Ren's cold corpse, screaming in despair, “Wang Yi, I will kill you.”
“This is all your doing.” Wang Yi said coldly, and with a single strike, Zhao Shanyu was dead.
“Wang Yi, now that you have avenged your great grievance, what are your plans next?” Fire Spirit asked.
“Leave this place,” Wang Yi replied.
Whoosh!
A red light rose from Kaiyang Sect, moving at incredible speed like a flash of lightning.
“Who is it?” Wang Yi, running swiftly through the mountains, shouted coldly without turning back.
In the next moment, a figure appeared behind Wang Yi. This person wore a yellow robe, had a tall stature, and carried a golden sword at his waist. A stack of whiskers fluttered in the wind, giving off an ethereal feeling.
“Master.” Wang Yi was startled and quickly recognized the newcomer.
This person was none other than Liu Bei, the leader of Kaiyang Sect and a Breakthrough Expert.
“Wang Yi, you have caused a great disaster. Do you understand?” Liu Bei said.
Wang Yi nodded and replied, “I do not regret it.”
“Zhou Mengling is a five-fold Breakthrough Expert. Even our sect cannot match him. Moreover, he is the Prime Minister of Song, wielding immense power. As long as he gives an order, countless strong individuals would be willing to serve him,” Liu Bei stated.
"I am no longer a disciple of the Kaiyang Sect. Why has the Sect Master come here?" Wang Yi asked in response.
"Leave the Song Kingdom," Liu Bei said. "Only then can you escape with your life."
"Where to?" Wang Yi inquired.
"The Killing Fields," Liu Bei replied. "There are no nations there, countless forces exist, it is extremely chaotic, and no one knows how vast it is. So wherever you go, Zhou Mengling will definitely not find you. Moreover, the Killing Fields is a necessary passage to Zhongzhou; that is where you belong."
"Why do you want to help me?" Wang Yi asked after a moment of contemplation.
"I have seen countless people, yet I cannot see through you. You are the most perceptive person I have encountered in this sect. The Song Kingdom is too small for you; that place is more suitable," Liu Bei explained.
With that, he took out a map from his sleeve and threw it to Wang Yi, saying, "This is the route map to the Killing Fields."
"Remember, there are no human rights there; as long as you have strength, you can do as you wish," Liu Bei said seriously. "A merciful warrior does not live long."
"Thank you," Wang Yi said, cupping his fists in gratitude.
"Wang Yi, our sect hopes you can survive. Perhaps you can lead the Song Kingdom out of Eastern Lin because the Song Kingdom is too weak," Liu Bei sighed and continued, "This is all I can do to help you; whether you can survive depends on yourself."
"The Sect Master's great kindness will be remembered by Wang Yi. If I survive this calamity, I will surely repay it. Farewell." Wang Yi understood that there was no free lunch; Liu Bei was risking the destruction of the sect to help him because he valued his potential and believed in his future achievements.
"I will wait for your return. I believe that on the day you return, a wave of blood will sweep through our Song Kingdom," Liu Bei murmured as he watched Wang Yi's departing figure. "I hope this time I am right; consider it a way to leave a path for my Kaiyang Sect."
In the capital of the Song Kingdom, the city was sealed off at the Prime Minister's Residence.
“Chancellor, something terrible has happened, the master has been killed.” A warrior rushed in.
“What? My brother is dead?” A middle-aged man dressed in court attire stood up immediately, his voice deep and terrifying: “Damn it, who killed my brother? Who?”
“It was a warrior named Wang Yi who killed the master. He was once a disciple of the Kaiyang Sect,” the warrior said nervously.
“Where are the Yin Yang Twin Fiends? Immediately head to Xiangzhou Prefecture, kill Wang Yi, and bring me his head,” Zhou Mengling shouted.
“Understood.” A man and a woman suddenly appeared in the hall, like two phantoms, and then vanished without a trace.
Zhou Mengling darkened his face and said, “Someone, notify the generals at the border to immediately seal off all cities and capture Wang Yi.”
“Yes!
At that moment, dozens of orders were issued from the Prime Minister's Residence, with commands to capture Wang Yi spreading throughout the country…
In a forest, Wang Yi took out the map given by Liu Bei for traveling to the Killing Fields. After looking at it for a while, his brows gradually furrowed. After pondering for a moment, his brows slowly relaxed as he sighed lightly. To reach the Killing Fields, he must pass through Song Kingdom, Border City, and Jincheng, then cross a desert before arriving at the Killing Fields.
After some thought, Wang Yi moved his feet and transformed into a shadow, disappearing into the vast Deep Forest.
Three days later, outside Lan City, a man dressed in black with a hood approached.
“You! Take off your hood immediately,” the guards at the gate shouted sternly at the man in black.
“Hmph, hurry up. The current Chancellor has ordered that anyone entering or exiting the cities must be strictly inspected. If you commoners dare to deceive even slightly, you will be executed for treason.” One of the soldiers stepped forward to confront the man in black. With a wave of his hand, he knocked off the hood from his head and shouted angrily, “Damn commoner, didn’t you hear what I said?”
Under the cloak, a plain face was revealed, marred by a red scar that made it look extremely ugly. However, the eyes were exceptionally bright, occasionally flashing with a glimmer of intelligence. This person was none other than Wang Yi, disguised.
At this moment, his portrait was posted on the city wall, with the words "Traitor Wang Yi" written below it. It stated that anyone providing information would be rewarded with a hundred gold coins, and those who captured Wang Yi would receive a reward of one hundred thousand Yuan Stones.
"Damn it, what an eyesore," the Sergeant said, looking at the grotesque face with evident disgust. He waved his hand dismissively and said, "Get lost! It's bad enough you look like that; do you still dare to come out and scare people? Do you want to die?"
"Spare me, sir! Spare me! I know I'm too ugly, so I wear this to cover my face, just to avoid scaring everyone," Wang Yi said, his face filled with fear as he trembled slightly under the Sergeant's fierce gaze.
"Scram!" The Sergeant could not tolerate such an ugly face and shooed him away like a fly.
Wang Yi quickly put on his cloak and hurried into the city as if granted amnesty.
Suddenly, a cold and merciless voice rang out: "You! Stop."
"Wha… what else does the military officer need?" Wang Yi's voice trembled as if he had encountered a ferocious beast.
