Chapter 964 - 964 2 Great Dream 5【2-in-1】_4

Chapter 964: Chapter 2 Great Dream 5【2-in-1】_4 Chapter 964: Chapter 2 Great Dream 5【2-in-1】_4 Because it’s well known that if one merely fears the law, there are not only countless ways to evade it, but also countless connections to smooth things out.

For many people: Money can command ghosts or even communicate with gods, and anything that can be done with money is no big deal.

But for the Heavenly Judge’s assassins, this is precisely the link that can’t be smoothed over!

After weighing the pros and cons, the vast majority would choose to cease their actions.

After all, those who dare to stir up storms and play power games in Xianyang have some tricks, some abilities, some backgrounds, some forces, some connections, and at such a time, they naturally have choices to make!

And based on such an ideology and understanding, in the decades that followed, the social atmosphere of the Great Qin’s Imperial Capital Xianyang was unprecedentedly superior, making it the most livable city in the world.

Of course, this outcome was something even Feng Yin, the direct participant, had not anticipated. At this moment, as he gritted his teeth and resolutely continued with the slaughter, he was unaware that this action was crafting a period of peace and prosperity for the Imperial Capital for decades to come!

But no matter how you look at it, this could certainly be considered a massive legend.

A pure legend wrought through slaughter!

…

Unlike the tail-chasing manhunt for high-ranking experts from the inner circles, which might be accused of not seeing the forest for the trees, the Dark Division agents were initially just spectators, always watching, naturally witnessing most of this carnage, gradually becoming shocked, inexplicably so, and then so shocked that they became numb.

Even Bu Changkong, after confirming the long list of names, was flabbergasted.

To speak of such precise and definitive assassination skills, it was a waste for him to be a mere assassin; he should be a hitman—a nightmare for the continent, a terror for cultivators!

“How did he manage such precise targeted strikes, execute them so swiftly, not even killing a single wrong person, and still move without leaving a trace?”

Twirling his beard, Bu Changkong’s eyes bulged in perfect circles as his mind was filled with doubts, yet he could not come up with an explanation.

Opposite him, there was also Qing Ming, the grand figure with an emaciated face, who was focusing on this lengthy list.

After a long silence, Qing Ming finally spoke slowly, “There’s only one possibility!”

“Ah? What possibility?”

Bu Changkong’s eyes widened. He felt he had thought of every conceivable possibility, yet none seemed to fit.

But Qing Ming had come up with one immediately. Could the difference between people truly be so great?

Qing Ming sighed and said, “Let’s wait a few more days. I want to confirm something… the level of their cooperation, exactly where they stand… or perhaps, what relation they actually have before discussing what comes next.”

“Ah?”

Bu Changkong was stunned.

What are you talking about, your Excellency? Which relationship between whom? Why am I getting more and more confused?

Five days passed, and the gentle name had become as prominent in Xianyang as the rising sun, shining brightly in all directions.

Even ordinary citizens, traveling merchants, and children as young as three or five knew the name “Gentle.”

Many parents would teach their children, “Don’t do bad things when you grow up, or Gentle the Great will come to catch you!”

And then… the child would cry out loud.

Fortunately, there was another saying—”Grow up to be like Gentle the Great.”

Then, the child would smile like a blooming flower.

In the fields, many old men and women would lean on their hoes and whisper, “Have you heard? The tyrant from the next village… was killed by Lord Gentle.”

“I knew it already, you’re behind the news. Did you hear about Wang Hu?”

“Ah? The one who killed three households a few years back? Did he also…?”

“Heh, just this morning, beheaded, by Lord Gentle, that’s top secret news, so don’t just go around talking about it!”

“Got it, got it. Served him right, served him right!”

“Thanks to Lord Gentle, all the evil-doers within ten miles have been dealt with.”

“Not just ten miles, even the bandit leaders on the nearby mountains have been wiped out. I heard that Taohua Mountain, Erlong Mountain, Qingfeng Mountain… many of the bandits there were so scared they went down the mountain to reform… reportedly, they even turned themselves in and applied to farm and become good citizens.”

……

[I had thought about elaborating on a few cases, but I think I’ll gloss over them instead.]
