Chapter 133 Too Dazzling

Wen Yi sighed and shook his head. "The reason you can't rise is because you're too dazzling."

"You understand what others don't! You accomplish what others can't! You touch the rules others won't!"

"Although you always complete your missions excellently, you haven't demonstrated the usefulness of a superior."

"Would a superior like a subordinate like you?"

Wen Yi said earnestly, "In the Reincarnation Division, you're not the only one who thinks Li Po faked his death. But, besides you, who has voiced such a suspicion?"

Han Liangzhe was stunned. "Aren't they afraid of sacrificing disciples?"

"Disciples are important, of course. But the Reincarnation Division's reputation is equally important. Cough, cough..." Wen Yi coughed a few times before continuing, "You're seeking proof of your own views everywhere. Doesn't that imply that everyone, from the Director-General to the various Dharma Protector Elders and the inner council, is inferior to you?"

"Hall Master Han, believe it or not, if you went to see the Director-General right now and bluntly stated that Li Po faked his death, you'd either be locked in the Black Prison or sent to Snow Mountain."

"But those disciples..." Han Liangzhe still hesitated.

Wen Yi patted Han Liangzhe's shoulder twice. "Take a closer look! The Reincarnation Division has lost so many disciples. How many Hall Masters have been lost? How many supervisors from the Enforcement Hall and offerings from the Inner Four Halls have died? Hundreds of disciples and several Hall Masters and Elders lost. That's the difference."

Han Liangzhe was still unconvinced. "Am I just supposed to watch?"

"Cough, cough..." Wen Yi coughed several times in a row. "When people reach a certain age, aren't they just living, watching; watching, living?"

Han Liangzhe remained silent, but I tapped the table and said, "We have to put on a full show of using the God-Slaying Platform to drive the ghosts mad and launch a full-scale attack on the Reincarnation Division."

Ye Yang formed a witch seal with his hands and pointed towards the God-Slaying Platform from afar.

Crimson light erupted from the God-Slaying Platform. The ghosts in Shuangji Town went berserk. Howls, like crashing waves, spread from Shuangji Town towards the lofty mountains.

The echoes of the ghostly wails were like an ambush set up by countless vengeful spirits in the mountains, surrounding the small town of Shuangji.

The Reincarnation Division brought a force of five hundred well-equipped men this time. For a time, Shuangji Town was filled with a rain of crossbow bolts and a snowstorm of talismans. Reincarnation Division disciples fought in teams, barely holding back the ghosts pressing in from all sides.

Feng Ruoxing looked at the scene in the water and said, "The Reincarnation Division has mobilized an elite force this time! Should we go out and join them?"

"Wait!" I shook my head. "It's illogical to rush out now. Besides, if we charged out now, the Reincarnation Division might turn around and attack us. Isn't it better to watch the show?"

The battle between the vengeful spirits and the Reincarnation Division in the town quickly reached a fever pitch. Lightning and fire covered the sky. Flying and burrowing ghosts were blown to pieces. Reincarnation Division disciples were constantly dragged onto the execution platform, becoming ghosts under the blade.

As the battle between the Reincarnation Division and the ghosts became a stalemate, I said, "Watch Wen Yi."

Wen Yi and Han Liangzhe not only didn't participate in the battle, but found a hidden place to stand.

Wen Yi slowly said, "Hall Master Han, have you decided what to do after meeting Li Po?"

Han Liangzhe gritted his teeth. "Shouldn't Li Po be killed? I think the best choice is to strike a deadly blow the moment we meet."

Wen Yi said, "It's indeed the best outcome for the Reincarnation Division. But, we can't kill Li Po."

"Three Tuifan (Transcendent Mortal) experts and a Tianming Shi (Heavenly Fate Master). If they want to break through the encirclement, you and I alone can't stop them."

"Don't you understand the real purpose of sending you and me here?"

Han Liangzhe's gaze suddenly darkened. "Are you saying, they sent us here to die?"

"Isn't that the case?" Wen Yi smiled. "The higher-ups in the Reincarnation Division have never trusted me. As for you... I'll say it again, you're too dazzling. Some people don't want you to enter the higher echelons of the Reincarnation Division."

"Shuangji Town is an ominous place. Whether Li Po is dead or not, it's not a place where people can come and go as they please."

"If Li Po is dead, we can die at the hands of ghosts and gods. If Li Po isn't dead, with his vengeful nature, we'll die at his hands. So, the deaths of the two of us are a logical outcome."

Wen Yi said calmly, "Haven't you noticed that we're missing a few people?"

Han Liangzhe's eyes narrowed suddenly. "Brother Wen, what do you mean?"

"That depends on whether you want to leave the Reincarnation Division," Wen Yi looked at Han Liangzhe with a half-smile. "If you want to leave, I have a way to leave. If you don't want to leave, I also have a way not to leave."

Han Liangzhe's expression was uncertain. "What exactly is Brother Wen's purpose in joining the Reincarnation Division?"

Wen Yi also looked at Han Liangzhe. "Brother Han, why are you willing to be underappreciated rather than seeking another opportunity to display your ambition? As far as I know, Brother Han has never married, and has even rejected the affections of many girls. That's not the style of the Reincarnation Division!"

Han Liangzhe said in a deep voice, "I won't ask you, and don't ask me, can we do that?"

As Han Liangzhe spoke, he had already quietly circulated his True Qi in his palm.

If Wen Yi said no, he would immediately attack Wen Yi.
