I Tried to Kill, But the System Made Me Farm - Episode 2

Lord Preston faces a dilemma as the Abyssar Sect forbids killing righteous sect members, despite their historic bloodshed. Forced to abandon violence, he instructs his trusted guardians to stop killing and focus on cultivation. His cryptic advice, "Bloodshed becomes one's own shackles," puzzles them, but they soon realize he means to break the enemy's spirit, not just kill physically. After declaring his intent to seclude for centuries to gain system rewards, Preston completes a mission receiving merit points and a lifespan-extending pill. However, confusion arises when the system seemingly withholds the promised reward, leaving Preston frustrated and uncertain about what comes next.
