He glanced at the many familiar faces of the Jincheng family among the distinguished guests, and then at Li Yu, who was about to make his move.
The Hei brothers felt their scalps tingle and their palms sweat.
If the families behind these old men were to unite, they could easily stir up a storm in Jincheng and even Zhongzhou.
Killing them all outright would have unpredictable consequences.
Hei Yi's Adam's apple bobbed as he tried to speak up and dissuade Li Yu.
But the words caught in his throat and he swallowed them back.
Because he was reminded of the great battle that took place in mid-air not long ago outside the Changshengmen stronghold.
Even someone with a special background like Zhao Jianan, when he was at his wit's end, bravely revealed the shocking secret about Tian Shu.
Even so, they couldn't threaten Li Yu and were mercilessly killed.
Li Yu had no interest in these distinguished guests and the powerful families behind them.
Hei hesitated for a moment, and after figuring this out, he decided not to try to persuade him any further.
At the same time, he shook his head slightly at Hei Er and Hei San, who also had tense expressions, signaling them not to say anything more.
Zhao Dezheng, who had just spared the lives of the distinguished guests, suddenly changed his demeanor upon sensing the killing intent emanating from Li Yu. He raised both hands in agreement, his tone shifting dramatically.
"Alright! Then kill them all!"
"It's utterly shameful for the Jin Cheng family to have such scoundrels; they're a disgrace to the family!"
"They've become lackeys of the Longevity Sect. If this disgraceful act gets out, what will become of our families' reputations? We must eliminate them all!"
His murderous intent grew stronger as he spoke, and his words became increasingly vehement.
"Besides, people their age should have died long ago!"
"These people are barely surviving by relying on 'materials' and 'blood donations.' Every day they live is a desecration of the natural order!"
Zhao Dezheng kept condemning, as if he had completely forgotten that he had only recovered his body and survived thanks to the transplant method of the Longevity Sect.
This contradictory, illogical, starkly contrasting, and destructive "sense of justice" seems extremely ironic.
This also struck the three Hei brothers, who were watching from the sidelines, like a thunderbolt, leaving them stunned on the spot!
Black One, Black Two, and Black Three finally noticed Zhao Dezheng's strange behavior. They exchanged a horrified glance, and a chilling conclusion simultaneously arose in their minds—
This young master of the Zhao family... has definitely something seriously wrong with his brain!
It seems to be more than just schizophrenia; there appears to be a more serious mental illness.
To the point that they can't distinguish what the standard of 'justice' is.
The three Hei brothers were incredulous and all looked at Li Yu standing to the side.
It was like a silent inquiry, trying to confirm something.
Feeling the gazes directed at her by the three men, Li Yu turned to meet their eyes and nodded emphatically.
This completely confirmed the Black brothers' suspicions.
In an instant, their eyes, as they looked at Zhao Dezheng, became incredibly complex, even tinged with pity...
The younger brother of General Zhao Deyang of Zhongzhou, a once-promising genius in Jincheng, has somehow lost his mind.
Even the extraordinary methods of the Longevity Sect couldn't completely cure him.
Even Li Yu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
This 'righteous' partner has been tormented and ravaged by illness.
What a cruel twist of fate...
At this moment, Zhao Dezheng was completely immersed in his passionate emotions of "purging the filth".
He glared fiercely at the group of distinguished guests he had just spared, his face chilling, his energy surging.
If Li Yu were to utter the word "kill" at this moment, he would immediately and mercilessly make all the distinguished guests disappear from the world.
Seeing Zhao De's murderous aura, looking like he was about to pounce at any moment.
Among the distinguished guests, an elderly man with white hair and beard stood upright, maintaining his dignified demeanor, and said to Zhao Dezheng in a deep voice:
"Zhao Dezheng, wake up! My family and your Zhao family have been friends for generations. Look who I am!"
Seeing that Zhao Dezheng remained unmoved, he had no choice but to continue speaking:
"The Longevity Sect may indeed defy common ethics, but there may be a misunderstanding today. If you dare to lay a finger on us, your Zhao family, and even this Li Yu, will likely have a hard time explaining to their superiors!"
He wasn't the only one; many of the distinguished guests and elders behind him also recognized Zhao Dezheng and the Hei brothers.
However, in their view, apart from the eldest brother, the other younger members of the Hei family were not worth mentioning at all.
Zhao Dezheng, who is right in front of us, is the most troublesome one.
Seeing someone take the lead, the other distinguished guests seemed to have found their backbone and began to clamor, invoking their own backers in a chaotic and urgent manner.
"Zhao Dezheng, think it over! You should know very well what kind of relationship exists between our families. It's a matter of shared prosperity and shared ruin!"
"Our patriarch was discussing matters with your elder brother at the military headquarters just last month. You can't touch me!"
"Dezheng! I've watched you grow up, are you going to lay a hand on me too?"
They threatened, pleaded, and some even tried to curry favor, all in an attempt to persuade Zhao Dezheng to side with them.
"Zhao Dezheng, think about the consequences! Don't forget that the combined power of our families is enough..."
"If you commit violence here based solely on conjecture, where will that leave the General's Department? Even if your elder brother intervenes, he probably won't be able to protect you!"
The cacophony of voices around him only further enraged Zhao Dezheng, whose condition was already unstable.
"Shut up!"
Zhao Dezheng suddenly roared, his voice like thunder:
"Shut up, all of you!"
The chaotic aura instantly drowned out the voices of the elders.
