Chapter 1434: Chapter 377: Devil (Part 2)

He knelt down, his words bursting with excitement:

"Senior, please rest assured, I will definitely not disappoint you. We are determined to uphold your ideals, to make the people of the small city feel safe and content. More importantly, we want them to die with smiles on their faces. This is our wish, our blessing for this beautiful era!"

Fang Rui ignored this guy. He knew all too well why this person was so pleased with himself, but it didn’t matter.

People like this can be used.

If someone doesn’t care about anything, then how can you use them or seize their weaknesses? So, since this matter had been settled, there was no need for him to stay here any longer; he could just go back directly.

Fang Rui left immediately. After leaving the mansion, he disguised himself as a commoner, walking briskly on the street, as he planned to leave this city.

Leaving the city was quite simple, just give the city guards ten taels of silver.

After giving the silver, the guards would let him leave, and the silver would eventually return to him. Moreover, he could serve as an example for other citizens.

After he gave the money, they could indeed leave. Thus, the citizens would turn on each other more ruthlessly for quicker gains, handing over their gold and silver to the guards.

This scene was noticed by a few members of the rebel group, who began an intense discussion upon seeing Fang Rui.

"Exactly!"

"We finally found this man. This is the cultivator hidden behind the entire city, the one at the Foundation Establishment Third Level!"

"What should we do now? If we don’t attack him now and he leaves the city, we won’t be able to kill him."

"Yes!"

"If he leaves now, unless we kill the captain of the guards directly, he will certainly not return to this small city. But if we kill the captain in the short term and continue this drunken frenzy, others will become suspicious, which will be troublesome for us."

After finishing, they all turned their eyes to their leader, waiting to see what decision he would make. Regardless of the final decision, it had to be made quickly, otherwise, if the opponent truly left, there would never be another chance to find him.

The leading man heard his companions’ words. His expression wasn’t good. Although he didn’t voice his inner panic, it was clear from his demeanor that he was engulfed in great confusion and anxiety.

The reason was simple: the man in front of them was indeed at the Foundation Establishment Third Level.

And they had only one chance.

If they missed this opportunity and failed to kill him, with their current cultivation level, they wouldn’t stand a chance against someone at Foundation Establishment Stage Three.

They would really be burned to death by Fang Rui.

But he didn’t want to die. Although he was opposing them, he didn’t want to sacrifice his life for this. Though the war would inevitably claim many lives, why should it be theirs and not someone else’s?

Lin Qing felt uncomfortable, growing even more anxious as she looked at their leader.

Yesterday, their leader had the courage to kill the captain, so why was he so hesitant today?

Standing there with a troubled look, you could glimpse the panic within him, which left her utterly dumbfounded.

"Leader, we don’t have time."

"Really, if we don’t get the chance to kill him this time, there won’t be another. Without killing him, our forces can’t attack the city and bring it under our protection, wasting all our efforts."

"Not only that, but the future of the city’s fifty thousand citizens is bleak. They may be slowly tortured to death, leaving all their wealth and lifeblood in this city. Do we really want to see this happen? There are many children in this city!"

Lin Qing grew more agitated, her tone becoming accusatory as she looked at the man before her, who gave no response.

Yuchi stood beside them, ready to help the moment they attacked. He could offer unnoticed assistance to kill the cultivator, without revealing anything about himself, the ideal scenario.
