Seeing Fang Yue's dismissive attitude, the Qianlan Guards, who had originally been shocked by fear, suddenly felt a surge of nameless anger in their hearts.

He roared, "Demon Slayer Ye Niuniu! Do you know what crime you have committed today! Why don't you quickly kneel down and confess your sins? In the name of a fourth-rank Lan Shan Blue Guard, I order you..."

Buzz!

A blade flashed, and the Qianlan Guard's voice came to an abrupt halt.

Because the tip of the blade was already against his teeth, as if a slight push would cause the black blade to pierce through his mouth, puncture his head, and end his life on the spot.

The strong desire to survive made him stop all movements, his whole body trembling, and cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

His impassioned words and righteous pronouncements all vanished in the face of death.

"Say another word, and I'll kill you."

Fang Yue spoke in a very calm tone, uttering a single sentence.

But even this one sentence scared the fourth-rank Blue Guard into shivering all over.

Because the Qianlan Guard knew that Fang Yue was not threatening him, but notifying him.

As long as the Qianlan Guard dared to show the slightest inclination, the black blade would pierce through his mouth, ending his life.

"Ha... ha... ha..."

The Qianlan Guard felt that even breathing had become difficult, but he only dared to gasp softly, not daring to mess around at all.

It wasn't until Fang Yue slowly retracted the black blade that the Qianlan Guard collapsed to the ground, his entire body soaked in cold sweat.

Looking at Fang Yue, he was already walking away with his back to him.

At this moment, the Qianlan Guard felt an infinite surge of anger.

Four words surfaced in his mind...

A swordsman uses their blade as an outlet for their emotions, which is basic common sense, and the young miss naturally understood this.

Watching Fang Yue sitting on a chair in the hall, calmly looking at the corpses on the ground, the young miss silently sat down next to Fang Yue.

"I'm sorry..."

"Don't you find me scary?"

"What..."

"I killed so many people, yet I don't feel anything at all, and even want to kill more!"

"So what? They deserved to die!"

"...Did they really deserve to die?"

"Lord Ye is overthinking it. If you have to debate whether a person deserves to die before killing them, then you might as well commit suicide sooner rather than later.

They stood in your way, and you killed them for your purpose. That's the process and the result, and it's just an extremely ordinary trivial matter that happened in this world.

No one will care, and no one has the right to accuse you. If it were anyone else facing an enemy trying to kill them, they would draw their blade!"

"That's true."

Fang Yue smiled in relief.

He had killed too many people tonight, making his nerves a little sensitive.

Or perhaps, something had caused his emotions to fluctuate.

"Lord Ye, about the handkerchief... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up."

"It has nothing to do with you."

Fang Yue sighed. "The dead cannot be brought back to life. It was my fault for not controlling my emotions."

Getting up and walking out of the hall, Fang Yue looked back at the young miss.

"Let's go. It's getting late, let's go back to Dayang City first."

"Okay!"

The young miss happily stood up from her seat and trotted behind Fang Yue, her mood becoming increasingly joyful.

Returning with the bodyguards, when they arrived back at Dayang City, it was already dawn.

Fang Yue glanced at the changes in his attributes and felt quite pleased.

"Name: Ye Se Liming."

"Eerie Realm: Blood-Rank Advanced [3.6%]."

"Control: 10020 [Base: 10000/Reached Realm Limit] [Status/Buff: +20]."

"Defense: 9140 [Base: 9120] [Status/Buff: +20]."

"Comprehension: 8.2 [Special Attribute]."

"Lifespan: 12 years and 5 months."

"Realm Breakthrough Progress: 0.1%."

The attributes were approaching their limit, and the realm breakthrough progress had also been activated.

The massacre of this night had yielded significant gains.

The only remaining issues were that the Eerie Realm was improving too slowly, and his martial arts realm was lagging behind.

He needed to learn an ice-attribute technique that was completely opposite to his current one to inherit Lord Han's legacy!

He wasn't sure if he should switch his blade technique, but he definitely had to learn the mental cultivation technique!

Of course, he wasn't planning to use the mental cultivation technique to break through his realm, so he still had to wait until the realm breakthrough progress accumulated to its maximum value before learning the Human-Rank mental cultivation technique from Lord Han's legacy.

Now that he had made a decision, his priority was naturally to improve his martial arts realm.

Especially after having ample lifespan, this matter was once again brought to the forefront.

"Welcome back, Lord Ye, and young miss, safe and sound!"

The night of busyness had left Fang Yue feeling somewhat tired.

But strangely, the young miss was particularly energetic and often smiled, always wearing a cheerful expression for everyone.

It seemed that after avenging her great revenge, the young miss's mood had completely improved.

Watching the young miss busying herself, Fang Yue silently returned to his room to cultivate his mental cultivation technique.
