"After the chaos within the Ruthless Sect, the higher-ups had to kill a number of people to suppress the situation,"
"Normally, a show of force by making an example of a few would suffice, but it doesn't work with the Ruthless Sect."
"Those devoid of compassion lack the emotion of fear; they only see their own interests. Merely killing a few doesn't serve as a deterrent. Only by striking down a large number can the rest be made aware of the high-ranking members' resolve, weighing the pros and cons before deciding to back off."
Recalling that scene from his younger days, Daoist Buyu clicked his tongue in amazement; it was the first time he'd witnessed such clean and decisive killing.
"However, things didn't calm down quickly. With the Ruthless Sect's leadership having their own hierarchy, and influenced by those below, they began to turn on each other. It's said that even the Master survived more than one assassination attempt."
