This wasn't because that short-tailed tomboy was so strong, but because little by little, his comprehension had subtly increased, turning into a real increase of 0.1 points!

This excited Fang Yue.

Although it was only an increase of 0.1 points in comprehension, it seemed small.

But in reality, even when the realm breakthrough progress reached its maximum value, and the attribute points reached their maximum value, the breakthrough would only increase comprehension by 2 points.

In comparison, killing people to increase comprehension was too cost-effective.

[Ghastly Spirit Root], temporarily a divine skill!

Little by little, it might increase more than the 2 points of comprehension from a realm breakthrough.

"State: Ghastly Curse [Black Rain]."

"Force: 8770 [Base: 8750] [State/Bonus: +20]."

"Defense: 7370 [Base: 7350] [State/Bonus: +20]."

"Comprehension: 8. [Special Attribute]"

"Lifespan: 5 years and 5 months."

Compared to killing ghouls, the rewards gained from killing humans with the [Ghastly Spirit Root] didn't increase attributes much; they weren't as effective as killing ghouls.

But the advantage was that it could increase comprehension, lifespan, and Ghastly Realm progress.

Especially lifespan, steadily increasing, accumulating little by little.

He felt like he could try to break through a mental cultivation realm. Although he might not succeed, trying several times would definitely lead to an earlier breakthrough.

As night fell, Fang Yue first told Mang Liuzi to guard the Da Yang Merchant Guild, then took the young miss and a group of deathsworn out.

"We'll first go and lie in wait for [Lang Qingyi]. If we don't get rid of him, we won't have any peace."

Fang Yue said in a deep voice.

The young miss naturally had no objections.

Even though it was night in [Chu Nuan City], not just anyone could stake out [Qing Si].

Guards patrolled back and forth, and ordinary people would definitely be discovered if they tried to approach.

Fang Yue didn't plan to delve deep into Qing Si. Even for him, it would be difficult to do so without being noticed; being discovered was only a matter of time.

Fang Yue planned to wait for the rabbit. Knowing such a big 'secret', [Lang Qingyi] would definitely take action. No matter what he wanted to do, as long as he went out, Fang Yue would kill him.

If Lang Qingyi didn't go out tonight, Fang Yue would use his identity as a member of the Phoenix Organization to invite him to meet at the agreed location tomorrow night and then deal with him.

Time passed by, and just as the young miss was getting impatient, someone was about to climb over the wall of Qing Si.

Fang Yue narrowed his eyes, quietly went down, and followed silently.

As soon as the person landed and left Qing Si, Fang Yue's black qi swirled around him. He accelerated with the Shadow Step, amplified by the Nightflow Mental Cultivation Method, and the Dark Moon Saber Technique merged into the darkness. A figure flashed, and a black blade flashed and disappeared.

While [Lang Qingyi] was still in shock, a single blade directly sliced across his neck, and his head rolled to the ground.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"System notification: Player [Ye Se Liming] has killed [Lang Qingyi], comprehension subtly increased."

"System notification: Congratulations to player [Ye Se Liming] for killing [Lang Qingyi], reward Force +50, Defense +50, lifespan +3 months, [Ghastly Realm] progress +0.2%."

He glanced at his stats, disposed of the body, and quickly left the area.

"Name: Ye Se Liming."

"Ghastly Realm: Blood Rank High Stage [2.0%]."

"Force: 8900 [Base: 8880] [State/Bonus: +20]."

"Defense: 7420 [Base: 7400] [State/Bonus: +20]."

"Lifespan: 5 years and 8 months."

Before anyone else could discover it, Fang Yue quickly retreated and returned to the location where the young miss was hiding.

"How did it go?" The young miss asked nervously.

"It's done."

Fang Yue threw the body to a deathsworn, ordering him to take the body out of the city and dump it in the wilderness.

The deathsworn obeyed and quickly hurried away.

"Lang Qingyi's body will be discovered sooner or later. Even if the body isn't found, Lang Qingyi's disappearance will cause unrest."

"Just deny everything. We don't have much connection to Lang Qingyi, so they shouldn't suspect us."

As for when Lang Qingyi's body would be discovered, he didn't really care. He was just trying to delay it for as long as possible.

Watching the deathsworn carrying the body and fleeing far outside the city, the young miss took a deep breath: "Now it's time to settle the accounts signed by those two merchant guilds."

Her emotions were agitated and complex.

Although she couldn't take revenge herself, being able to avenge her father and Manager Hai before the night was over gave her some peace of mind.

If it weren't for Fang Yue, it wouldn't just be a matter of not being able to take revenge herself, but a matter of a gentleman taking revenge ten years later. She wouldn't have a chance to take revenge at all before she grew up.

Therefore, she was truly grateful to Fang Yue from the bottom of her heart.

Among the two merchant guilds, Fang Yue first chose the Kong Shan Merchant Guild.

The old city merchant guild, guarded by official forces like [Lan Shan], was a bit tricky. If they called in the Azure Guards for help, it would be difficult for him to handle.

If he got held up, he might not have the chance to reap the rewards from the other merchant guild.

So he started with the Kong Shan Merchant Guild, which had invited experts to guard it.

Fang Yue wanted to let them know what a real expert was!

No matter how many experts there are, if they're not stronger than me, they're just air!

"The real slaughter has only just begun!"

Although Fang Yue had been mentally prepared, he was still taken aback by the Kong Shan Merchant Guild's lineup.

The security personnel of the Kong Shan Merchant Guild were actually more numerous than the Qing Si's visible manpower.

They patrolled around the Kong Shan Merchant Guild, layer upon layer, closely guarded and prepared.

Those who didn't know better would think this was some army practicing how to defend against enemy attacks.

"Lord Ye... they are well prepared and have many people. How about we come back another day?"

The young miss naturally saw the large number of people below and hesitated for a moment.

Revenge wasn't something to rush. Seeing this situation, apart from the foreign fox merchant guild, which had no roots and was preparing to run away, the other two were prepared to compete with her Da Yang Merchant Guild and showed no signs of retreating.

If that was the case, then she would leave them out in the cold for a while.

As the saying goes, a burst of energy can only last so long. If she dragged it out, the money they spent on hiring experts would be enough to drain the merchant guild's wealth.

But Fang Yue's eyes lit up.

"No! Tonight, we will kill our way in! We will leave no one alive!"
