At the time, Yuan Zheng must have had a lapse in judgment, because he had inexplicably named Gu Yuan as his successor—and Gu Yuan hadn't even been consulted!
It was an utterly unreasonable decision, made without the slightest regard for the successor’s own wishes. Yet, looking at the Three Greats and their relentless determination, Gu Yuan knew that even if he managed to walk out of the police station today, he would eventually be dragged back, drowning in sins. The thought of a life built on murder and destruction filled him with disgust.
Gu Yuan was no saint; his own hands were not entirely clean. But everyone he had killed had been a monster who viewed human life as nothing more than blades of grass. When it came to that kind of scum, he never held back. According to Dong Zhang’s description, the Five Poisons Sect was essentially a glorified organization of assassins, only the tools they used to claim lives were different.
