"But our people... aren't like that!"
Yan Beihan smiled bitterly. "There's really no way around it. People with lower cultivation and status might be able to do it. But those with sufficient cultivation and status, like the Chief Guardian, Duan Chief Seat, Ice Aunt, and the others... are almost impossible to control."
"If you died and my grandfather told the Chief Guardian, 'You're allowed to take revenge, but you can only kill Yu Tianxia, then you must come back immediately!' The Chief Guardian would agree. But when the time actually came, he wouldn't really kill just one person! He'd most likely slaughter several cities to vent his fury."
"If he were told to come back in ten days, there's a good chance he wouldn't even start heading back for two months."
Yan Beihan sighed deeply. "That's why my grandfather often worries about the safety of these Old Devils. Once they go out, they're far too easy for the Eastern Chief Strategist to target and ambush."
Fang Che scratched his head, unable to stop himself from laughing inwardly. So that was how it was.
"Besides, the Eastern Chief Strategist... sometimes, he doesn't really... have much... shame..."
Yan Beihan smiled bitterly. "Take Ning Zaifei, ranked eighth on the Cloud Top Weapon Compendium, for example. When the Eastern Chief Strategist ambushes him, to ensure absolute certainty, he'll send Rui Qianshan with Feng Congrong and Yu Haoran."
"Snow Condensing Sword alone could kill him with one strike, but they insist on bringing two more people just in case. What does that mean... Forget sending a rescue message with the Five Elements Spirit Gu—even once you enter the trap, you might not even be able to send out a distress signal. In the blink of an eye, you'll turn to ash."
