Reverse Quicksand Takes Shape!

The screams continued all night long.

From the very beginning, it was high-pitched.

hoarseness in the middle stage.

Then came the helplessness in the later stages.

"It's a bit cruel," Zi Nu commented, but then changed the subject, offering a reasonable explanation for the current situation from a different, intriguing angle. "Logically speaking, killing someone is just a matter of a head falling to the ground, why subject them to such humiliation... But on second thought, he has killed thousands of people, one knife to each one, so the so-called head falling to the ground is actually quite reasonable."

The relatively simple- Startled Salamander was taken aback upon hearing this.

It's just slow slicing.

It's not like she hasn't seen it before.

But she really didn't expect there to be such an explanation.

A single person killing someone with a knife is nothing more than a head falling to the ground.

That's amazing.

Honestly, anyone who came up with this reason is a genius.

Even Ye Qingcang was amused.

Although he knew that laughing wasn't appropriate in this place, at this time of day, he simply couldn't help it; what could he do? "So, he deserves it, he got what he deserved!"

"Then what about the follow-up on-site cleanup work?"

"Is it for you?"

"Should I handle this?"

Just as Han Fei admired Ye Qingcang, Zi Nu also admired Ye Qingcang.

It's just that she and Ye Qingcang weren't very compatible.

The two were simply having a clash of ideas.

We rely entirely on communication to get things done.

Unlike with Han Fei, who could tell what someone was going to say with just a glance.

Therefore, Zi Nu had no feelings for Ye Qingcang.

If I had to say something, it would be that I have to admit that I'm good-looking.

Compared to Ye Qingcang, whose appearance and physique were both perfectly proportioned, Han Fei, although also quite good-looking, was ultimately inferior.

This is a genetic issue.

It has nothing to do with personal health maintenance.

Perhaps some people like someone like Ye Qingcang.

They were captivated by Ye Qingcang's good looks.

But Zi Nu is clearly not someone who cares about physical appearance.

More than appearance, including physique, she cares about how she feels when she's with someone; only comfort can make her heart flutter.

Therefore, coordination on such minor issues is crucial.

Zi Nu still chose to communicate.

Instead of relying on that unreliable, perhaps inaccurate, tacit understanding.

"Let's talk about it when he comes out."

"Destroying the evidence is simple."

"Anyway, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Liu Yi's face will probably be unrecognizable in the end. Even if the flesh on his skeleton hasn't been completely cut off, there probably won't be much left, because he's not a professional executioner or butcher, and he's not very knowledgeable about anatomy."

"In that case, just throw it into the river."

"At worst, we can tie a few more stones to it."

"We don't even need to lift a finger; he can handle it himself."

"In addition, there are other methods such as crushing bones and scattering ashes."

"If he wants something a little more exciting... I can preserve Liu Yi's soul for him, put it in a lampshade, and bake it day and night until the soul is completely destroyed... That's certainly a bit extreme, but for the long term, I have another path to recommend to him, which is to control the baking time and temperature. In this way, the lifespan of Liu Yi's soul can be greatly extended, and the emptiness in his heart can be satisfied by torturing Liu Yi."

Under the watchful eyes of Zi Nu and Startled Salamander, who seemed to be staring at Living Yama, Ye Qingcang clapped his hands and said casually, his tone completely unconcerned.

Upon hearing this, Li Kai, who was out wearing Liu Yi's face (actually a disguised version of himself), was overjoyed and immediately sought advice from this seemingly divine figure. "Mister Ye, I wonder if this method can be applied to this beast? As for its soul... how exactly should we examine it?"

"Have you gotten over your anger?"

Ye Qingcang glanced at Li Kai.

Li Kai was no longer the down-and-out man he once was.

Furthermore, the composure they once possessed has vanished.

The fine clothes she had changed into to disguise herself with Liu Yi were now covered in blood, and some flesh fragments that looked like they had been splattered were even visible. Even Zi Nu couldn't help but turn her head away, adjust her mindset, and then look back at Li Kai and the others. However, she didn't try to dissuade them.

To put it bluntly, those who kill will be killed in return.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Li Kai did nothing wrong.

However, this method makes people instinctively nauseous.

It's the same principle as "the rabbit mourns the fox's death".

Seeing one's fellow human beings die tragically before one's eyes, it's impossible to remain absolutely calm; at most, one can only maintain relative calm.

This is something that even a sage could not change.

"It's out."

"Thank you, sir."

"Ninth Young Master."

Li Kai bowed deeply.

To say that I've completely vented my anger is an understatement.

Otherwise, Li Kai wouldn't have thought of torturing Liu Yi's soul when he just left. The reason for this situation was that Liu Yi was too weak and couldn't withstand such torture before dying. As a result, Li Kai couldn't have his fill and was just venting his frustrations.

Refer to the story of Wu Zixu whipping the corpse of the King Chu.

That kind of hatred that leads to the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire clan.

Even if all the water in the world were poured out, it could not be washed away.

Of course.

If Liu Yi were still the same Liu Yi as he was more than ten years ago.

They can naturally last longer.

More than ten years ago, Liu Yi was already the Left Sima, Li Kai's deputy. As a general who led troops into battle, his martial arts skills were naturally extremely high. Even if he was a bit fat, being fat on the battlefield was normal, which is one of the reasons why the ancients admired people with broad shoulders and thick waists.

What is fat?

This thing is an excellent cushioning pad!

Even the impact of weapons.

Even the charge of warhorses.

This includes ranged attacks such as arrow rain.

Under the same armor conditions, fat people have a higher survival rate than thin people, and even if they are injured, they are mostly superficial injuries.

To put it bluntly.

Imagine an arrow is shot at you.

They couldn't stop it.

Insert it three inches into the flesh.

If the arrow penetrates three inches into the flesh of a thin person, it might have already pierced their internal organs. Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, survival depends on time. If the optimal rescue time has passed, it is still difficult to save them.

But the fat man's penetration was three inches deep, which was just more painful.

It didn't even penetrate the fat layer.

It's impossible to reach the internal organs.

If it's not a barbed arrow.

You run into that kind of ruthless person.

They can be pulled out on the spot.

Therefore, Liu Yi had been on the battlefield and Liu Yi who had been spoiled over the years are definitely two different concepts, even Li Kai has never denied this.

As for willpower.

No joke.

The whole thing is pretty much the same.

They all have the same old attitude.

At first, he was dismissive.

Then came the angry outburst.

Next, they used their powerful backers as leverage.

Once it's clear that it's not working, they immediately beg for mercy.

Afterwards, he was tortured inhumanely and cursed angrily, but this time it was not to vent his anger, but only to die quickly, so that he would no longer be tortured.

Finally, they were tortured to the point of near death.

They dared not say anything more about threats or threats.

That's about it.

Therefore, even if he hadn't completely vented his anger, Li Kai was powerless to do anything about it.

The man had already been sliced to death by him, piece by piece.

In the end, he still had that same begging face.

Whether he can let go or not ultimately depends on his mindset.

However, his desire to completely destroy Liu Yi's soul was genuine.

If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze.

As someone who crawled out of hell.

No one understands this principle better than Li Kai.

I didn't know that before.

Now that we know...

Naturally, a perfect ending is the better choice.

To prevent Liu Yi from one day turning into a ghost and seeking revenge.

Although this is impossible.

As for continuing to torture Liu Yi, Li Kai has no such intention at the moment, because even if he tortures Liu Yi to death, what has already happened will still happen. The dead cannot be brought back to life, and even his former lover cannot ignore this matter.

Since that's the case, there's no need to continue venting your anger.

One still needs to have the necessary self-control.

He will become a sword in the hands of the Ninth Young Master in the future.

Instead of a crazy person who only causes trouble.

"Alright, I respect your opinion..." After listening to Li Kai's self-analysis, Ye Qingcang fully respected his wishes. Then, he looked at Zi Nu and steered the conversation to another topic. "Speaking of which, I think he should now meet the standards to join the Reverse Quicksand. This framework should be initially established. I wonder what your opinion is on this, and whether you would be willing to include him in the Reverse Quicksand?"

Although the Quicksand formation is complete.

The shareholding has already been finalized.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances.

It is unlikely that this will be changed in the future.

Han Fei is twenty percent.

Zi Nu, 20%.

Wei Zhuang's share is 20%.

Ye Qingcang, 20%.

Ten percent of the Hong Lian.

In addition, there's Zhang Liang's 10%.

However, the Reverse Quicksand has not yet been established; it is still in the conceptual stage and awaiting finalization.

Because compared to Quicksand.

The Reverse Quicksand requires specialized personnel.

Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu are bound to get involved, but Ye Qingcang will not get involved. In addition, Hong Lian, like Zhang Liang, is not involved in the Reverse Quicksand matter.

Currently, only Nong Yu is pending.

The rest of the assassins.

Zi Nu is selecting from the Zilan Pavilion.

As for Wei Zhuang, in his own words, the Seven Absolutes Hall is only good for a smokescreen, not for anything else. If the Seven Absolutes Hall really has any good talents, he won't ignore them, but right now he values Hundred Birds more, the terrifying assassination organization that belongs to Ji Wuye.

My neighbor hoards grain, I hoard guns.

Well, sorry, my neighbor's house is my granary.

It doesn't matter that we don't have a complete assassination organization.

Bring down Ji Wuye.

Assassination organizations naturally followed.

All I can say is that Wei Zhuang's idea was correct, but his approach was indeed a bit too unconventional.

Fortunately, Ye Qingcang, Han Fei, Zi Nu, and the others didn't care.

And Li Kai is indeed a very suitable candidate right now.

Because he has already taken his revenge.

The results were encouraging; Li Kai was not blinded by hatred.

Although it's definitely too late for Li Kai to invest now.

Because Quicksand currently does not have a seat for him.

His strength was insufficient to allow him to join Quicksand.

Moreover, if it's just about joining Quicksand, there are indeed a few ways, but they all involve joining as ordinary members. Even if Li Kai doesn't have the right to negotiate, this treatment isn't exactly humiliating. However, leaving such a strategic entity to fend for itself is a flawed approach that should be seriously reflected upon.

Thus, this is one of the seats in the Reverse Quicksand.

Give it to Li Kai.

That is the most appropriate and correct answer.

Therefore, after confirming that Li Kai Li Kai fine, or rather, that he was capable of the job, Ye Qingcang still brought it up with Zi Nu. Otherwise, in Zi Nu's opinion, she should have continued to test Li Kai, at least let Li Kai meet Madam Hu. If Li Kai could still hold his own, she could then give Li Kai one of the seats in the Reverse Quicksand. Otherwise, Li Kai would just be a discarded pawn, not qualified to be used further, and limited to the present.

However, since Ye Qingcang has said so.

Zi Nu isn't incapable of giving Li Kai a chance.

Even if this opportunity was originally meant for Li Kai.

At this moment, it has simply sped up a bit.

"This is not the place to talk."

"You guys go ahead with your work."

"When I'm done with this."

"Tomorrow night."

"Zilan Pavilion, three floors."

"I, along with Ninth Young Master, Wei Zhuang, Hong Lian, will determine whether you are qualified."

"To be able to become a member of Reverse Quicksand."

Zi Nu nodded to Li Kai, and then said this.

Because nominally, the Reverse Quicksand have no leader.

It's the same principle as Quicksand having no leader.

Han Fei disliked feeling constrained.

Moreover, this does not align with the principles of Quicksand.

Quicksand is always intangible, gathering and dispersing, rather than molding everyone together into a whole and using this whole as the core to deal with Night Curtain, engaging in a head- Night Curtain confrontation similar to positional warfare, and using so-called wisdom to lure Night Curtain into a trap.

Actually, when it comes to configuration...

The intelligence of the Quicksand side is undoubtedly superior.

But the forces on the other side of the Night Curtain were more powerful.

Moreover, the Night Curtain faction is quite intelligent, and they can find counterparts to Quicksand in various aspects. For example, the Tidal Nymph is in the Inner Palace, corresponds to the Hong Lian, who is also in the Inner Palace; the Straw Raincoat Guest controls intelligence, corresponds to the reclusive Zi Nu and the Zilan Pavilion she established; Bai Yifei, who is in charge of force and military affairs, corresponds to Wei Zhuang; and no one can match the money-grubbing Emerald Tiger. Zhang Liang is not qualified yet, but with Han Fei's intelligence, he is enough to deal with Ji Wuye and Emerald Tiger. As for the Hundred Birds, they correspond to the Baiyue Assassin Group that later switched sides. It can be seen that the Night Curtain's tentacles have spread to all aspects of the Han Kingdom, far beyond what Quicksand can confront head-on.

Even with Ye Qingcang's involvement.

A head-on confrontation isn't without a chance of winning.

But they chose a less damaging option instead.

They insist on confronting each other head-on just because of their so-called pride.

Or perhaps they became complacent because of the so-called victory.

They thought the Night Curtain was nothing special and easily defeated.

All I can say is that the person who made this decision is definitely out of their mind.

"Alright."

Ye Qingcang nodded.

He is different from Zi Nu.

Because he is a time traveler, he is familiar with the plot.

Zi Nu was afraid that Li Kai betray her.

Because Li Kai's own death is a minor matter.

Exposing Quicksand to the Night Curtain sky too early is a serious matter.

Therefore, regarding the matter of Li Kai.

Whether or not to accept it must be done with caution.

But Ye Qingcang knew very well that Li Kai would not betray him.

To put it bluntly, Nong Yu was raised by Zi Nu, so what is Zi Nu afraid of?

Nong Yu was the daughter of Madam Hu.

In other words, Li Kai is Nong Yu's father.

However, Nong Yu did not recognize Li Kai, and although Li Kai recognized the Huo Yu Agate on Nong Yu's waist, he had never met Nong Yu before, so he naturally could not know about the relationship between Nong Yu and Zi Nu.

But after he learned everything...

After Madam Hu was also persuaded.

Even if Ji Wuye wins over Li Kai.

As long as Madam Hu and Nong Yu are still on this side of Quicksand.

Li Kai will inevitably take the secret to hell, leaving no possibility Sisi for Ji Wuye and the others to explore his memories.

Therefore, both emotionally and logically, Li Kai is one of our own.

There's no need to say these things.

Let Li Kai and the others explore it on their own.

It was more effective than his subjective efforts.
