"Alright, let’s begin the operation. Remember, don’t let the opponent sense us. If we are discovered, just kill them directly." Min Yi said.
It’s uncertain whether we can actually kill them, but first, threaten them by telling them they’ve been poisoned, frighten them into panic before taking action; that will surely increase the odds of success.
"Okay."
Ninth Senior Brother responded.
Actually, he had already clarified his purpose for ing here: to closely monitor the new Sect Disciple.
As long as he keeps an eye on this person and ensures he doesn’t betray them with any sneaky moves, everything else is for Min Yi to handle. After all, it’s not his first time doing this.
Even if the poisoning isn’t successful, they need to ensure no one within is trying to sabotage them.
...
This night in the Inner City is destined to be restless.
Many patrolling Evil Cultivators didn’t know what was going on when suddenly darkness enveloped them, rendering them speechless and incapacitated.
But they knew internally; fear still showed in their expressions.
They had heard before that a patrol had chased a man, got poisoned, and then exhibited the same symptoms, thrown into an empty courtyard with some women sent by the leader to take care of them.
Now, it’s happening to them too; they probably won’t escape the fate of being tossed into an empty courtyard!
They are terrified, unable to express themselves, only lying on the ground writhing in pain, waiting for their results.
Meanwhile, in another courtyard, Little Nuonuo is grouped with Second Senior Brother, along with a slightly chubby Sect Disciple.
At this point, everyone returned from their tasks, discussing tonight’s outes in the small courtyard, when suddenly a loud thud echoed, revealing the slightly chubby Sect Disciple tied up, whimpering for help.
Everyone’s face darkened, and the other new Sect Disciples also looked grim.
It’s not that they felt targeted; anyone surviving in Rock City isn’t foolish and would understand what it means for this Sect Disciple to be sent out standing but return bound.
"Zong Zhengtian, you... you’re actually a spy!"
One of the new Sect Disciples stepped forward, incredulous, questioning the slightly chubby Sect Disciple.
"You’re a disciple of Wenjian Sect, where none of them lack integrity. How did such a traitor emerge from there?" He genuinely felt sorry for the people of Wenjian Sect, having one of their disciples turn out like this.
"I said Wenjian Sect sent so many disciples last time, all with high cultivation levels, skillful with the long sword, yet only you remain. Turns out you betrayed them, didn’t you?"
Another Sect Disciple stepped forward, indignantly pointing at Zong Zhengtian.
Disciples from Wenjian Sect were numerous in Rock City, and even if chased by Evil Cultivators, it’s illogical for only the disciple with the lowest cultivation level to escape.
Previously, they never suspected this person to be a traitor due to the Wenjian Sect name, but now they feel thoroughly deceived.
"How did Wenjian Sect produce a cowardly scoundrel like you?"
"Mmm, mm mmm!"
Zong Zhengtian attempted to defend himself, but his mouth was gagged, unable to speak, leaving him vulnerable to their accusations.
