This is the bottom line that no family power in Jincheng can accept, and it is a fig leaf that they absolutely will not allow to be torn off.
Unlike these elders from various families...
Zhao Dezheng's impassioned and passionate words left Bai Ya, who was standing next to Li Yu, stunned.
If the Deep Sea Watchers organization hadn't already been wiped out by the Star Lords, he would have immediately invited Zhao Dezheng to join them and use the endless seawater to purify this filthy world!
Although Bai Ya didn't think much of Zhao Dezheng's arrogance and his extreme, reckless methods, he still had a problem with Zhao Dezheng.
But Zhao Dezheng's "Great Purge of Jincheng," with its ultimate goal of cleaning away all filth, is exactly the same as the vision and doctrine of the Deepsea Watchers.
This also stirred a subtle sense of regret in Bai Ya's heart, as if he were seeing a fellow traveler on another path.
It's a pity... the Whale King is dead, and he is the only one left among the Deep Sea Watchers.
Otherwise, if they could join forces with a madman like Zhao Dezheng and coordinate with their support, they would definitely be able to turn Jincheng upside down!
"Why..."
Thinking of this, Bai Ya couldn't help but sigh softly.
The sigh contained reminiscence, helplessness, and even a complex resonance with Zhao Dezheng.
After Zhao Dezheng finished speaking, he turned to look at Li Yu with a serious expression, his eyes filled with fervent expectation:
"Li Yu! Let's join forces."
"First, we'll dismantle the Changsheng Sect, this cancerous lair, and obtain the complete chain of evidence. Then, we'll head straight for Jincheng, thoroughly purge those corrupt families, and give Jincheng a chance to rise from the ashes!"
Zhao Dezheng looked completely absorbed, as if he were painting a sacred blueprint, and could even see that scene before his eyes:
"This is nothing short of a redemption! A massive purge!"
"Li Yu, what do you think?"
Faced with Zhao Dezheng's almost frantic invitation, Li Yu simply listened quietly.
Thoughts raced within his golden eyes.
At this moment, Li Yu had no doubt that Zhao Dezheng's mind was indeed, definitely, and certainly in serious trouble.
That's not just simple paranoia or fanaticism, it's a mental illness!
No rational, normal person could possibly come up with such an outrageous plan...
A massive purge in Jincheng?
That's Jincheng in Zhongzhou!
The absolute center of Zhongzhou in terms of politics, economy, military, and culture!
As the foremost of the twelve major cities, it is a gathering place for powerful awakened beings, with a foundation so profound it is unimaginable.
Moreover, according to Qiao Chuan, "all family forces" in Jincheng participated, without exception.
This means that Zhao Dezheng's move was tantamount to launching a full-scale war against the entire city of Jincheng.
Although Li Yu was very confident in his abilities, he was far from being arrogant.
He couldn't believe that the core of such a Zhongzhou machine could be so easily cleaned up by Zhao Dezheng.
Even if all twelve star lords gathered together and Tianlong went all out, it would be unlikely that they could complete the so-called Great Purge of Jincheng that Zhao Dezheng had mentioned.
After all, even he had heard more than once that Jincheng was home to the number one expert in Zhongzhou, who was even stronger than Tianlong.
That being is the true trump card guarding Jincheng; who knows if the other party will make a move?
But Li Yu's worries didn't stop with these powerful individuals.
Because Tianlong had mentioned this to him multiple times during the Star Lord Gathering.
His previous reckless actions after entering Zhongzhou and the trouble he caused, as well as his sudden occupation of Kangcheng, have aroused strong dissatisfaction in Jincheng.
Although the ghosts in Kangcheng are difficult to deal with in a short time, it is still one of the major cities built at great cost.
Even though it temporarily became a ghost town, no one ever dared to make a move on it.
But they happened to run into Li Yu, a hot-headed and impulsive young man who not only made up his mind but also took over the position.
If Tianlong hadn't taken full responsibility and vouched for Li Yu as the Tenth Star Lord, Jincheng wouldn't have pursued the matter further out of consideration for Tianlong.
Even the authorities implicitly acknowledged Li Yu, the city lord who had been seized, because of his status as a star lord.
Otherwise, when he first occupied Kangcheng, the Central Plains military would have immediately marched on the city and taken it back.
Li Yu's eyes darkened slightly.
Although he acts boldly, he still needs to be aware of the potential consequences.
Zhao Dezheng's suggestion at this moment was tantamount to asking him to go and die together; it was completely unreliable.
If you really cooperate with Zhao Dezheng in some kind of purge, then Jin Cheng won't care whether you're a star lord or a hero.
In the face of a threat that shakes the very foundation, all identities are disregarded.
but……
Li Yu thought about it again and realized there was no need to refuse now.
Whether Zhao Dezheng's overly fervent "justice" can sever the protective umbrella behind the Changsheng Sect remains to be seen.
Jin Cheng's reshuffling was not his original intention.
But at the very least, destroying the Changsheng Sect headquarters and eliminating that Arrow Master are things that must be done right now.
It's not impossible to cooperate with Zhao Dezheng temporarily.
After all, he would need to go to Jincheng later and needed a legitimate opportunity to get involved in the Jincheng vortex.
Zhao Dezheng's obsessive madness is like a sharp knife, capable of carrying him straight to the core.
"I will go to the headquarters of the Changsheng Sect."
Li Yu finally spoke.
His golden eyes stared directly into Zhao Dezheng's ecstatic and delighted eyes:
"As for the Jincheng purge—"
Li Yu paused, her tone clear and unambiguous:
"I can't agree to this just to deceive you. That's not my goal."
"Even if I were willing to help, at most I could only clear some ordinary obstacles for you when you take action. As for how you want to overturn the table and settle scores later, that's your business and has nothing to do with me."
This is not a complete commitment, but more like a collaboration with clearly defined boundaries.
Li Yu retained maximum autonomy and did not intend to get involved excessively.
Although Li Yu did not fully agree, Zhao Dezheng did not care at all, as if as long as Li Yu did not refuse, everything would have a future!
A nearly radiant smile suddenly bloomed on his square face:
"That's enough! That's enough! Li Yu, with those words from you, the matter is half settled!"
"Then let's destroy the Changsheng Sect headquarters first, and then..."
He rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming with excitement:
"Let me see their reaction with my own eyes! Hehehe..."
Zhao Dezheng seemed to have already seen the future of Jincheng, where the city would change dramatically and collapse.
"There's no time to lose! Let's set off immediately for the Changshengmen headquarters!"
He added, as if to offer some comfort:
"But Li Yu, don't worry. Even though I'm all alone now, I've actually built up some power and connections over the years."
Li Yu nodded noncommittally after hearing this.
However, his current goal is indeed the same as Zhao Dezheng's: to go to the headquarters of Changshengmen first.
Li Yu gently stroked the docile red arrow with his fingertips, the familiar touch constantly reminding him of that similar threat.
That archer must die!
