Jiang Yuan suggested attaining the Dao through slaughter, then asked Minghe, an expert on the subject, whether he thought it could work.
"Stopping slaughter through slaughter is a valid path, but following it to the end would be far too difficult. You'd have to kill until no one in the world dared claim supremacy, until all under heaven was at peace."

"Even against an opponent
