Chapter 1425: Chapter 375: Man-Eating City (Part 5)

Several cultivators couldn’t bear to watch anymore. When they saw Yuchi being half-pushed and half-pulled inside, they covered their eyes.

In Yuchi’s mind, a very simple judgment had already formed.

"These people basically have no intention of letting the citizens of this city leave alive. If you can bring out ten taels of silver now, then you can bring out more money at this time."

"So, if you choose to leave this city, these people will immediately chase after you and then kill you directly in a deserted place."

"And for the citizens who have no way to leave the city, they will continuously reduce the city’s food supply. With less food supply, many people will starve to death. After many have starved to death, they will share all kinds of wealth. In the end, they don’t have to expend a single soldier; they can eat the whole city out of house and home."

His judgment of this situation was very accurate; the soldiers indeed planned to do this. They had already successfully handled two cities this way. In the past, such a city was just a small place in a cozy nest; placing it here, it’s a national capital. In other words, they had already handled several national capitals. They could be said to have made a fortune.

"Can you help me? I feel so uncomfortable and want to cry." Yuchi approached the several cultivators disguised as citizens, his meaning very simple. He wanted to know what these people were really here for, trying to gather some useful clues from them.

But the leading cultivator frowned because he had a lot of things to do, and he simply had no time to deal with ordinary citizens like this. Ordinary citizens were of little help in this matter, so he wanted to directly refuse Yuchi’s request.

However, at this moment, a woman in the team couldn’t help but stand out.

"Let’s go together to the tea stall in the distance for a cup of tea. Rest assured, although we can’t help you now, we won’t hit you when you’re down." After the woman finished speaking, she gazed angrily at the soldiers beside them. Upon hearing her statement, the soldiers laughed heartily, seemingly as if they had received compliments, their faces actually turning red.

"Thank you, sister, you’re truly a good person." Yuchi said gratefully.

Sister? You’re calling me sister? Are you even human? I’m trying to help you now, and you’re calling me sister? Can’t you just call me younger sister at this point? Am I really that old?

The woman was a bit unhappy at this time, but after realizing the situation, she immediately calmed down and thought, alright, now is not the time to get tangled up in such matters.

"Okay, let’s go then."

The woman glanced at the man, and the leading cultivator nodded as well.

Alright, alright, alright, anyway, there’s no other choice now.

Let’s just take him out for tea first.

After having some tea, it’s about time to investigate which cultivator in this city is the strongest. They must be killed for the entire city to have a chance to survive temporarily.

...

After a stick of incense, Yuchi had already talked a lot with these people.

From their few words, he could tell that these people represented a friendly faction. Although they didn’t directly reveal their purpose for coming to this city, their hateful gazes towards the soldiers showed clearly that they were not here just to drink tea; they wanted to kill all these soldiers and restore the city to its former state.

"So, are there still some people here resisting? But for now, it is unclear who is secretly helping them."

"I don’t need to expose my identity right now. I’ll observe quietly, first helping them kill this person directly, and then it should be fine."

"But what should I do after eliminating this person? The city now lacks protection, and without protection, when the citizens encounter cultivators, I can only help them for a short time. I can’t possibly stay and become a king, right?"

Yuchi pondered this problem now. Killing people was really too simple for him.

Forget about this cultivator, even if the city was full of cultivators, as long as the cultivator hasn’t reached the Enlightenment Stage, no matter how many there are, it’s pointless. With one burst of Spiritual Energy, regardless of cultivation level, they’d all be taken down, but killing is easy; saving is hard.

"Let’s not worry about irrelevant matters first; let’s kill him directly. Afterward, I’ll talk to this group and see if they have something like a resistance force."

And while Yuchi was thinking, the woman who had just spoken with Yuchi looked a little puzzled.

Why?

Because although the young man before her looked quite distressed, it was just appearances. When it came to his thoughtful demeanor, there wasn’t a trace of panic visible. His attitude was calm and composed.
