Yin Meng couldn't help but sigh inwardly: so this is the world of geniuses, what a sight.

If she could always maintain this feeling, then she could master any skill quickly in the future, right?

Zhao Yi seemed to sense what was in Yin Meng's heart and comforted her:

"Whatever you gain, you must lose something too. You have your ancestors to rely on, which already surpasses many people. Look at how tough my life is, and also your Brother Xiao Yuan, his life isn't easy either."

"Thank you."

"When this is over, when you make offerings to your ancestors, please say a few nice words for me."

"I have no right to influence my ancestors' decisions, really, I'm not that influential, I can't help you with the whole clan..."

"Actually, it doesn't need to be the whole clan exempted. If the Great Emperor could give my Zhao family the Book of Life and Death, I'd be happy to sketch it myself, letting the old ones who should go, go sooner."

The signal appeared in the southeast corner, it's the Liang Sisters.

A strong soul general presence emerged, those few dormant beings are waking up, a phantom appears in that direction too, they are breaking free from chains, escaping the restraint.

Zhao Yi spread his left hand, his fingernail cut his own palm, and after being soaked in blood, the Jade Pendant floated up.

"Open!"

The restraint was opened, inside, three long-preserved soul generals paused for a moment, seemingly surprised to awaken so smoothly even themselves.

Zhao Yi: "Go, direct all the insects there."

Yin Meng: "Understood!"

A large swarm of insects, like a mass of dark clouds, flew there, entering the barrier.

The next moment, Zhao Yi's gaze sharpened, his hand clenched the blood-soaked Jade Pendant tightly, it shattered immediately, and at the same time, the previously opened restraint closed again.

It was equivalent to trapping the three ancient soul generals and the insects sacrificed by Yin Meng together.

Screams, roars, wails kept coming, they had no way to avoid it, only passively endured all the harm brought on by the insects.

After a period of struggle, they finally fell silent.

Yin Meng herself was surprised, with a sense of disbelief at her own power.

Quickly she realized, it wasn't her who was powerful, but Zhao Yi behind her.

Without his help, she couldn't control so many insects at all, and those three soul generals couldn't be trapped in a corner taking insect bites passively.

Zhao Yi spread his palm, and fragments of the Jade Pendant fell.

Yin Meng whispered: "That trick you just did, feels so familiar."

Zhao Yi: "I learned it from your Brother Xiao Yuan, and after learning I regretted, I could only mimic the shape, couldn't control it like him.

I suspect, there's something hidden in his palm that he uses as a medium."

Yin Meng: "I don't know."

Zhao Yi: "I suspect I'm right."

The clearing was complete.

In the constant encounters, sometimes unexpectedly in crushing games, it was a bit uncomfortable, but indeed relieving.

However, one thing still exceeded Zhao Yi's imagination of filthy deeds.

There were dead bodies inside, all arranged within rooms of the Lu Family, tied with various threads, placards elaborating the relation with that room and person placed.

The bodies had been preserved, lifelike.

And the living were also tied inside, the people were alive with breath, but part of their soul was deliberately extracted, a fate worse than death.

Preserving the three souls and seven spirits is extremely difficult, needing day and night offerings, clearly, the Lu Family wouldn't provide such service, thus the detained living all lost subjective awareness, forgetting themselves, like walking corpses.

After attempting to untie several living people, the first thing they did was madly self-harm, driven by instinct, seeking the relief of death.

Zhao Yi: "Kill them all, give them a quick end, remember to take their identity placards, I'll perform their spiritual cleansing."

Zhao Yi wouldn't have done this before, growing up under such experiences, he was originally indifferent at heart, but certain behavior patterns will affect him.

The one named Li was even less emotional, but such cleanup each time was done seriously, as if he was truly compassionate, with a heart of great love.

The identity placards gathered up, Zhao Yi sat cross-legged, began chanting sutras for purification.

Lin Shuyou stood behind Zhao Yi, one hand clasped, silently reciting the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra.

Run Sheng and the Liang Sisters stood around, as one grievance soul after another was drawn over, the Lu Family's karmic debts were placed inside, while the newly dead Lu Family souls were either scattered by Run Sheng's evil qi or shattered by the Liang Sisters' magic artifact, causing them to vanish and unable to reincarnate.

After the matter concluded, Zhao Yi stood up, stretched his limbs.

The Lin Shuyou behind him also twisted his neck, producing a crisp sound.

In the residence, there were likely some fish who escaped the net, but they were too lazy to dig deep to find them, besides, some Lu Family members were certainly not home at this time.

However, the hardest work had been done by them, the remaining small fry naturally someone else would clear, the Lu Family's style was so arrogant, they oppressed not only a single Chen Family.

Zhao Yi found a rock under a fake mountain, said to Lin Shuyou: "Help me move it out, erect a monument, engrave some words."

Lin Shuyou: "Already finished the fight."

Zhao Yi: "Not completely done yet."

Lin Shuyou took a deep breath, walked over, moved the big stone out, shaved a flat surface, erected it in the center, and prepared to walk away.

Zhao Yi reminded: "Don't forget the engraving."

Lin Shuyou: "You won't engrave yourself?"

Zhao Yi: "If I engrave, I'll engrave the name Li."
