Chapter 1429: Chapter 376: Am I Becoming a Stand-in? (3)

Her suggestion was extremely risky; they were in the shadows now, but if they truly stepped out to kill Xiong Yi, they might end up in the open. Facing the cultivator lurking in the dark, they would find it difficult to use the crossbow in their hands to directly kill the opponent.

"So, if someone could help us kill Xiong Yi at this moment while we remain observing from the shadows, we might seize the opportunity to kill the opponent."

The leading man responded in this way.

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. The situation now was very clear. At present, they only knew a man named Xiong Yi. This man’s strength was not strong, essentially just a puppet.

The truly formidable force was the cultivator behind this man, whose strength had shockingly reached the terrifying Foundation Establishment Stage Third Layer. If they could kill this cultivator, many things afterward would be easier to handle.

"You should’ve said earlier, I can help you deal with this matter!"

Yuchi understood the group’s plan.

However, in the subsequent conversation, he did not acquire more clues.

Though during that time someone wanted to disclose their background directly, they were deterred by the man’s eye signals, indicating they were still tight-lipped and would not reveal the existence of their support organization.

"Alright, let me help you kill Xiong Yi directly, then find a way to eliminate that exceptionally strong Foundation Establishment Stage Third Layer cultivator."

Yuchi was frank.

It was fortunate the enemy was not alone. An individual’s power in war is inherently limited, especially in an uneven war involving cultivators. The primary focus should be on the resistance army; only the resistance army could liberate the city. Regardless of whether it’s a cultivator in the Enlightenment Stage or the invincible existence of the Immortal Ascension Stage, it’s impossible for them to allow the fifty civilians to survive.

Still, the old saying applies: ensuring one person survives is ten times, if not a hundred times harder than making someone die.

...

On a certain night.

The two responsible individuals had already found the man named Xiong Yi, who was currently in a brothel drinking flower wine with a few girls.

Xiong Yi looked arrogantly at the women in front of him. Upon seeing the fear in their eyes, he picked up a wine jug and smashed it over one woman’s head.

The woman was instantly struck, head bleeding, her frail body collapsed to the ground unconscious. The other women, witnessing the scene, were terrified yet dared not scream, tears streaming down their faces.

"I told you to drink with me, why do you all look like you’ve lost your mothers? Don’t you think my way of handling things is good?"

"Let me tell you, the reason you can still have a meal, a place to stay, and accompany me is because of my benevolence."

"Without me, given your current state, you would have long been wandering the streets, your hearts and bellies devoured by wild dogs."

Saying this, Xiong Yi’s dreadful expression gradually softened, and he grinned at the brothel girls, saying: "Alright, alright, I was just joking with you. I’ll definitely treat you well, I just love taking care of girls, so don’t pull such long faces."

"Come on!"

"Let’s drink."

The young women dared not cry out; none of them dared to lay their eyes on the woman lying on the ground, whose forehead was a bloody mess—apparently, this man had been lethal, knowing the thickness of that wine jug was enough to kill.

In another room.

Two men were filled with fury, their fists clenched tightly, their teeth gritted!

If not for the bigger picture, they really wanted to storm into the private room on the second floor of the brothel and kill him with a knife.

"Bah, this damned thing’s cheerful demeanor is really asking for a beating. I want to catch him, lock him in a pigsty, and let him suffocate underwater."

"There’s no way, we can only strive to stay hidden, to find an opportunity for assassination. Otherwise, if we appear openly, if discovered by the guards, we wouldn’t know how to deal with that formidable Foundation Establishment Stage Third Layer cultivator."

"He’s our ultimate enemy. If we don’t eliminate him, our people cannot reach this place to rescue the entire city."

Everyone knows that sometimes the bigger picture matters more, but seeing Xiong Yi’s violent behavior reveals that even the bigger picture carries a lot of resentment and anger many times!

And the most brutal thing in the world is watching your enemy engage in their decadent pleasures in broad daylight—that’s so nauseating!
