"Yeah, just get someone else to do it."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the evil cultivators lit up. Why hadn’t they thought of this solution before?
Those villagers could die and it wouldn’t matter to them. Fortunately, they hadn’t been affected. But now, this plan could still work. They would let the unsuspecting villagers handle the situation.
"I’ll go capture some villagers right away."
Saying that, the evil cultivators set off cheerfully with their panions.
However, what they didn’t expect was that Min Yi had already anticipated the cruel actions these evil cultivators might mit, including capturing villagers to transport goods as part of Min Yi’s foresight.
Thus, the effectiveness of the ninth-grade poison powder exposed to the air was only half an hour.
The time had long passed, so even if the villagers arrived, no matter how they came into contact with the area filled with evil cultivators, they wouldn’t be harmed.
...
That night.
The quiet courtyard suddenly became lively.
One team after another climbed over the walls from the yard, forming a group of about ten teams, each posed of three people, as they started prowling the streets, looking for patrol teams.
"What’s going on? Weren’t the patrol teams organized in groups of seven last night? Why are there fourteen people in a group now?"
Min Yi was with Bright Moon Sect’s Ninth Senior Brother and another new Sect disciple, and was surprised to see teams of fourteen.
When the patrol teams came to check their courtyard last night, they were in groups of seven, and he secretly followed them out to observe but didn’t notice anyone else.
Now, somehow, the number of people had doubled.
"Don’t you know what’s happening?" Ninth Senior Brother looked at Min Yi with a hint of deeper meaning in his eyes.
Others might not understand what’s happening, but could Young Master Min, the instigator behind the chaos caused by poisoning the evil cultivators, possibly be unaware? The previous incident involving the use of poison against the evil cultivators had certainly stirred things up.
As a precaution, more people had been sent out for fear they might be poisoned again.
"Well..."
Min Yi was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to respond.
At the time, he hadn’t thought much about it, but now that it was done, there wasn’t anything more to think about - he would continue with grander actions.
Besides, they had other tasks to plete. As for those two disciples from the Saintess Sect, their whereabouts remained unknown. If Qian Yizheng hadn’t been certain they were alive, he’d have assumed they were already killed in the place swarming with evil cultivators.
After all, although the Saintess Sect was vile, its disciples were part of the sect, unlike the evil cultivators who despised sect disciples.
Sometimes he suspected that those continuing to survive in Rock City were either hiding like sect disciples or covertly cultivating evil techniques.
He felt the latter was more likely, as it was a pelling possibility.
He glanced toward another sect disciple, planning to inquire if they’d seen the Saintess Sect disciples once they returned, as they might have crossed paths by chance.
Though the likelihood was slim.
"Why worry about so much? No matter how many there are, we have to deal with them all the same!"
He refused to admit any wrongdoing, believing that killing evil cultivators was a duty everyone shared, and he was only doing what needed to be done.
"Did everyone take the antidote?"
"We did."
Ninth Senior Brother and the nearby sect disciple nodded.
They had taken the antidote long ago and were ready to act at any moment.
