But that Zhu Jiu jumps straight to murder in response, and shows no remorse afterwards, seemed to be his own choice to me.

*nodnod*

I feel like he quite enjoys the killing, too. I never get a sense of distaste or even Ya Qing's businesslike attitude from him. Except for his captain, it's not about vengeance. He gives the impression of relishing it, and even tries to kill Ding Dun, who was on his side.

Like, for him the whole thing is a chess game which he's determined Ye Zun will win at any cost. People -- human or Dixingren -- are mere pieces to be used or sacrificed (or broken in two in a rage). I don't think the other people Ye Zun recruited gave that impression(?), so it must be something inherent to Zhu Jiu.
