Chapter 182: Chapter 110: The Slaughter Begins!
"Silence!"
A chilling woman’s voice rang out in front of the altar.
Zhao Yi looked towards the sound, the woman in her thirties bore a resemblance of seventy to eighty percent to Yao Qing.
Unlike Yao Qing, this woman’s face was pale, her eyes cold and indifferent, her expression sinister, resembling more a ghost long dead than a living person.
The woman wore a very revealing black gauze dress, with her arms and thighs exposed, covered in numerous wounds, some still bleeding new injuries, and some old dark red scars healed long ago.
She stood before the altar, looking at Zhao Yi approaching step by step, her face full of resentment and hatred.
"Why? Why won’t you let me go?"
The woman’s voice starkly contrasted with her expression.
Her face was sinister and fierce, yet her voice was clear and crisp, like a morning kingfisher.
If she hadn’t suffered so much hardship, she would have been a bright and sunny woman.
But none of that mattered anymore.
Prince Zhi was dead.
Died at the headquarters of the Four Seas Commerce Association.
Everyone would be buried with him!
As for the Four Seas Commerce Association worshipping demons, Zhao Yi didn’t really care.
How vast the territory of Great Xia was, even Zhao Yi couldn’t say clearly.
In such a large place, with so many people, creating some chaotic occurrences was only natural.
As long as it didn’t affect others, the Great Xia Court generally wouldn’t interfere.
Just like the Four Seas Commerce Association.
As long as they submitted the full amount of profits annually.
Whatever they did in secret, the Zhao family wouldn’t care.
But the people of the Four Seas Commerce Association might not think so.
They were unaware that Prince Zhi had come to seek redemption from Yao Su.
The sudden arrival of a Zhao prince sent the already guilty-minded Four Seas Commerce Association executives into a panic.
Thus, in their desperation, they brazenly killed Prince Zhi.
This was something the Zhao family could never tolerate!
Zhao Yi ignored Yao Su and continued to advance step by step.
The altar was right before him, less than a hundred paces away.
Around Zhao Yi, the Imperial Guard steadily advanced.
The ground was littered with corpses of chaotic troops.
Scarlet blood was about to dye the entire island red!
Finally, those around the altar could no longer sit still.
They stood up one after another, continuously retreating.
But there was no way to retreat!
Since Zhao Yi was determined to eradicate evil, naturally Zuo Xiaoluo wouldn’t let anyone escape.
Seizing the rout of the chaotic troops, Zuo Xiaoluo quietly commanded the Imperial Guard to complete the encirclement of the entire island.
Everyone in the Four Seas Commerce Association was now trapped in the center of the island, with no way to escape.
Soon, some realized there was no retreat; some put down their weapons and knelt to plead for mercy, some looked fierce ready for a desperate fight, while many more hesitated, uncertain and unsure of what to do.
The Four Seas Commerce Association fell into chaos, but the Imperial Guard did not.
Zuo Xiaoluo remembered clearly.
Zhao Yi had spoken.
Unless the blood runs dry, the blades do not return to their sheaths.
The military order was as immovable as a mountain.
Zuo Xiaoluo dared not disobey.
Thus, she ordered the killing of prisoners.
No matter whether they were ordinary people or guards of the Four Seas Commerce Association.
No matter whether they had cultivation or whether they held swords.
All were to be executed!
In an instant, the cries and screams on the island echoed directly into the sky.
"Your Highness, Crown Prince."
As Zhao Yi walked, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Turning towards the sound, it was an old acquaintance unseen for ages.
The fat shopkeeper, seeing Zhao Yi look at him, waved repeatedly: "Your Highness, it is me, Old Qian from Four Seas Restaurant! You always came to Four Seas Restaurant, and I’ve always served you, do you remember me?"
Zhao Yi looked at the fat shopkeeper and nodded slightly.
He remembered Yao Qing had mentioned that the fat shopkeeper was promoted to a position at headquarters.
Before Zhao Yi landed on the island, he saw the widespread chaos and corpses, clearly indicating an internal cleansing had taken place.
Since the fat shopkeeper was still alive, his allegiance was evident.
The fat shopkeeper, seeing Zhao Yi’s gaze pass over him, looked obviously unsettled.
"Your Highness, I am Old Qian!"
"I just came here, I’m not like them!"
"You know who I am, I’m timid, how dare I kill Prince Zhi!"
"Your Highness, please save me!"
Zhao Yi ignored him.
The Imperial Guard quickly broke through the chaotic troops and arrived at the altar.
The fat Shopkeeper saw those Imperial Guards looking at him menacingly, and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Gentlemen, I am the old Qian from the Four Seas Restaurant?"
"When you went to eat at the Four Seas Restaurant before, I even served you!"
"Please help me plead with His Highness, I am truly innocent!"
"I don’t want to die, I really don’t want to die!"
Hearing the fat Shopkeeper’s words, a few Imperial Guards’ expressions suddenly became a bit strange.
However, they did not show mercy.
On the contrary.
Before others could react.
Those few Imperial Guards directly ended the fat Shopkeeper with one strike!
When they first arrived at Yunmeng Swamp, these Imperial Guards were a bit puzzled, not knowing why they were so urgently preparing for battle.
As they killed their way to the isolated island, especially upon seeing the Python Robe on Prince Zhi on the altar, anyone with sense would know what had happened.
At this point, let alone speaking for the fat Shopkeeper, they didn’t even have time to disassociate themselves from him.
Upon hearing the fat Shopkeeper’s words, they didn’t even think before they cut him down.
If the fat Shopkeeper recklessly made things up, or even tried to implicate them, they would be unjustly doomed.
The fat Shopkeeper’s big head slammed heavily onto the ground, making a dull thud.
His face, full of greasy shine, was filled with horror, and his small eyes were wide open, clearly dying with grievances.
If he had known today’s outcome, he would never have gone to the headquarters in the first place.
Originally, he thought going to the headquarters was for promotion and wealth, but unexpectedly, he didn’t even have time to warm the seat before losing his life here.
The incident with the fat Shopkeeper was just a small episode.
As the Imperial Guards continued to advance, the high-level members of the Four Seas Commerce Association finally felt fear.
Like the fat Shopkeeper, they were filled with terror as they begged Zhao Yi for mercy.
"Your Highness, I am old Zhao, I once sent you the Thousand-Year Spirit Milk, please spare me!"
"Your Highness, you can’t kill me, in terms of seniority, I am your distant uncle, if you kill me, the Empress will not agree!"
"Your Highness, I am with the Second Prince, all of the Second Prince’s private money is with me, if you kill me, he will have no money to brew wine!"
"Your Highness, it’s all that bitch Yao Su who bewitched us, she is the mastermind, we are innocent, please investigate clearly!"
Zhao Yi listened to these people’s words, his expression unchanged.
Zhao Yi moved continuously, and so did the blades of the Imperial Guard.
With every step Zhao Yi took, a group of the Four Seas Commerce Association’s high-level members fell.
Finally, Zhao Yi arrived at the altar.
At the same time, the high-level members of the Four Seas Commerce Association were completely wiped out.
The male protagonist still knelt on the steps.
The bluestone steps had long been soaked in sticky blood, wet and slippery.
The male protagonist knelt on it, back straight, muttering continuously, oblivious to the surrounding sounds of slaughter.
As he got closer, Zhao Yi could finally hear what the male protagonist was reciting.
Originally, Zhao Yi thought the male protagonist was also worshipping the Evil God, but now he realized that he was actually reciting the "Sutra of Rebirth."
Zhao Yi nodded in his heart.
Luckily.
The male protagonist still had his principles.
If he truly offered his own father as a tribute to the Evil God.
Then Prince Zhi would be too pitiful.
Prince Zhi, such a brilliant figure, if he had a son with a wolfish heart and dog lungs, he would never find peace in the afterlife.
"You should have figured out the nature of that demon by now?"
Sometimes an enemy knows you better than a friend.
Just like Zhao Yi, he had been studying the male protagonist since awakening.
It’s no exaggeration to say, Zhao Yi understands him better than he understands himself.
Given the male protagonist’s character, since he can peacefully recite the "Sutra of Rebirth" on the altar, it means he has understood the situation of that demon.
He just doesn’t have the ability to get rid of that demon, so he is stalling for time here.
"It calls itself ’Ling’!"
The male protagonist raised his head, his gaze shifted from Prince Zhi on the altar to Yao Su.
"She, is ’Ling’!"
