Chapter 196: We Are Not Talking About Feelings

"Lord Shen also knows of the Feng Family. The Feng Family is one of the top noble clans in Anzhou City, with many experts, and their students and old acquaintances are spread throughout the entire Anzhou City!"

"It is rumored that the Feng Family even has experts of the Transcendence Realm sitting in command; they are majestic and illustrious for a time!"

"So even if the Feng Family doesn't say it, there are still people who go to grovel before them. Thus, there is not a single person who offers help in snowy weather, but those who kick a man when he is down are everywhere."

"This is reality!" Raising his head, Li Zehai did not appear very dejected; instead, he had an indifferent look.

He had seen through some things long ago, and precisely because of this, he wished he could drag everyone in the city to die with him.

When he was down on his luck, everything was dim. At that time, no one brought him light; instead, they all kicked him while he was down, which caused him to fall completely into endless darkness.

"Just because of your own hatred, you want to take revenge on the whole city? Don't you think that's a bit too extreme?"

"Extreme? What is there to be extreme about? This world has long needed to change. Those treacherous and unfaithful people shouldn't be alive; they all deserve to die!"

"Cough, cough!" The excessive emotional fluctuation caused Li Zehai to aggravate his injuries and cough loudly. Fresh blood flowed down the corners of his mouth, and his complexion became increasingly pale.

"Shen Yu, you think I'm extreme, then tell me why the diligent and loyal die without a complete corpse, while the sycophantic and opportunistic thieves occupy high positions?"

"Why is it that all I see are good people living their whole lives in frustration, with the kind-hearted ending up as corpses on the street? Yet the bad guys rise steadily and enjoy endless wealth and glory. What kind of logic is this?"

"I have long seen through Xichuan these past years; everyone here deserves to die!"

"That's not right!" Precisely because Shen Yu had destroyed the array with his own hands, a part of the core of this array was revealed before his eyes.

"If I am not mistaken, what is before me is a Blood Sacrifice Array, an array that can blood sacrifice all living things within it to provide for itself."

"Regardless of its true purpose, a portion of the power gained from the blood sacrifice will be fed back to the person controlling the array. In other words, the person controlling the array will receive immense benefits."

"Me?" Looking suspiciously at the already destroyed array, and then looking suspiciously at Shen Yu, Mo Li indicated that he was a bit confused.

No one had ever told him that the array he controlled had such an effect. If they had said so earlier, he would have activated the array long ago.

The entire population of Anzhou City is more than a million. Even if only one-tenth or one-hundredth of the essence belonged to him, his strength would be skyrocketing!

"Not you, you're overthinking it!" Helplessly looking at the self-indulgent Mo Li, he really didn't know how he had managed to survive until now.

Some people look shrewd, but are actually foolish beyond compare. And some people look stupid, but they control everything.

"If I'm not mistaken, this Deputy Gang Leader of yours doesn't control this array at all. From beginning to end, this array has been controlled by you, Li Zehai!"

"The array was broken, and it appeared he suffered a backlash and was severely injured, but that is not the case. The one who truly suffered the backlash is you; your life essence is rapidly fading away."

"This proves that you have long been completely connected to this array. When the array is destroyed, the person dies!"

"Not bad, Lord Shen is indeed worthy of being someone who can become a Governor. If you had come any later, they would all have to die!"

A smug smile appeared on his face, but it quickly faded; the pain coming from his body seemed to be constantly reminding him not to get carried away.

"But I thought I controlled everything, thought that this fool Mo Li was being played in the palm of my hand. I was complacent, but I was the only one who didn't understand the human heart!"

"To keep the secret, I didn't tell anyone what I did, so in their eyes, I, the Gang Leader, was always a head lower than Mo Li."

"I always thought they were loyal to me, even if my status was not as high as Mo Li's, but who would have thought these idiots would betray me at a critical moment!"

"In vain did I treat them as my confidants. Sure enough, the human heart is unpredictable, and those who return evil for good are always everywhere."

"The human heart is something that can never be guessed!"

"Li Zehai, you, you!" Looking at the Li Zehai before him, having known each other for so many years, this was the first time he had seen such Ali Zehai, completely different from the one in his impression.

I'm afraid that when Li Zehai acted tough with him before, it wasn't just a heat of the moment, a sudden rush of hot blood.

It was likely to test him. If he had developed murderous intent toward him, he probably wouldn't have survived.

It's just that Li Zehai never expected that before he could even make a move, his own confidants would make a move against him.

Therefore, one cannot be too proud, or it's easy to get stabbed!

"So I said, in reality, revenge is just an excuse you've been looking for all along, a perfect excuse you found to harm so many people to satisfy yourself!"

"Lord Shen, you are wrong there; this is clearly what they owe me!"

"But I failed, I was just one step away, but you happened to come at this time and made me fall short of success!"

"Owe you?" Shaking his head, Shen Yu felt that he could not wake up someone who was immersed in their own world.

"No one owes you anything. You were just treated unfairly by a small group of people, and you think the whole world owes you. Who do you think you are?"

"Back then, you were just a Black Iron Constable, the lowest-ranking Constable in the Capture Gate. With such an identity, how many people could you help?"

"Just because these few people returned your kindness with enmity, you want to implicate everyone. How thick-skinned can you be!"

"History is written by the victors, say whatever you want!" Regarding Shen Yu's sarcasm, Li Zehai didn't care at all; instead, he looked straight at him and said, "Shen Yu, we can make a deal!"

"The fool Mo Li doesn't know the Master's identity, but I know a little!"

"Impossible, I have never told you anything about the Master!" Before Shen Yu could speak, Mo Li had already hurriedly said, "My Lord, you must not believe him!"

"Back then, I was the one who pulled him out of a pile of beggars. He has never seen the Master, and I have never told him anything. He must be lying to you!"

"That's why you're stupid, I'm different from you!" A touch of shrewdness appeared on his pale face, a far cry from his usual image.

"Back then, it was indeed you who pulled me out of the pile of beggars, but this wasn't your own intention, right? It should have been the Master's idea. I was just someone he used to keep you in check, to prevent you from becoming too powerful."

"All of us who serve him have more or less similar experiences, all wanting to destroy everything to vent the resentment in our hearts!"

"Don't be in a hurry to deny it, Mo Li. You might have forgotten, I was once a Constable of the Capture Gate!"

Speaking of this, Li Zehai couldn't help but lift his chin, as if this identity could still bring him some pride.

"The reason I was a Black Iron Constable back then wasn't because my professional skills were poor, but just because my strength was poor!"

"When it comes to case-solving ability and control over details, how many Constables in the entire Anzhou City Capture Gate can compare to me!"

"Take you, Mo Li, for example. Having spent many years together, I know you better than you know yourself. You must have an unforgettable past that makes you want to take revenge on everyone at all costs."

"It's just that a long life of comfort has gradually made you let go of that bit of hatred. You betrayed yourself; you are the biggest traitor!"

"Lord Shen!" Feeling his life coming to an end, Li Zehai looked at him and said, "Let the two of us make a fair deal!"

"My request is very simple. I will tell you everything I know, but I want the lives of the Feng Family members. I want them to pay the price!"

"Lord Shen, rest assured, I have evidence of the Feng Family's crimes here. After so many years, I haven't come away empty-handed!"

"I only hope that Lord Shen can handle it impartially; kill those who deserve to be killed!"

"That's impossible!" Shaking his head, Mo Li's face was full of disbelief as he retorted loudly once more, "The Feng Family usually keeps a low profile and is even more cautious in their conduct; they have basically never broken the law or committed any crimes!"

"Besides, even if they had done some things, it is absolutely impossible for you to have investigated them. You must know that you have a grudge against them, and they have been guarding against you every single day!"

"My lord, Li Zehai is clearly lying to you; these might have been forged by him!"

"Is that so? Li Zehai said you were stupid, and he wasn't wrong at all!" Before Li Zehai could say anything, Shen Yu, who was standing to the side, could not help but speak up.

"Who do you think Li Zehai's usual pretense was for? It was never for you to see, but for the Feng Family to see!"

"Lord Shen is indeed clever. The Feng Family is very arrogant; even if they accidentally found out that I was collecting evidence of their crimes, they wouldn't care too much and would instead just watch the show from the sidelines."

"Because they are confident that no one can catch their real weak points, and no one dares to truly deal with them, but they miscalculated—I dare!"
