"Do you want to kill the Executors?"
Xu Zhi eventually reached that conclusion.
The Executors remained deep within the Lost Land year-round, perhaps for some reason. After all, the Lost Land was rich in supernatural energy, and it was rumored to conceal the secret of "ascension." Perhaps those Executors were searching for that secret as well.
Yet as "Executors," they could not completely abandon the mundane world and bury themselves in the search for "ascension." Otherwise, what exactly were they "executing"?
Moreover, every Executor seemed to be quite old. They all had certain ties to the various forces in reality and could not truly transcend the world and ignore worldly affairs.
At fixed intervals, the Executors would return from the Lost Land to handle matters.
Only under emergency circumstances could they break from their original plans.

Could that lead to this Executor revealing some flaw, creating a chance for him to be killed?
If Xu Zhi voiced her thoughts, she would only be criticized for being too bold. But after thinking it over and over, she felt that was exactly what was happening.
