Chapter 2270: Chapter 2270: Feeling Relieved
...
Outside Jun Lin Hall, a group of people stood not far away.
"Brother Yang, what should we do? Are we really going to steal something?"
Everyone had a bitter expression on their faces, feeling that this idea was truly unreliable and might end up getting all of them killed.
"Exactly, Brother Yang, that’s Jun Lin Hall we’re talking about! Do you think the things inside can be stolen that easily? Not to mention the stuff Mr. Wen wants—it’s surely the best treasure in Jun Lin Hall. If we actually manage to steal it, do you think we’ll survive afterward?"
"Brother Yang, we don’t even know what we’re supposed to steal. Even if we somehow get inside Jun Lin Hall, can we actually pull it off?"
A chorus of questions erupted from the group as they turned to their leader, feeling that the task Mr. Wen assigned them was completely unreliable and best left undone. After all, the medicinal pills he gave them were plentiful—if they sold them, they might manage to save up enough to settle down safely.
"Idiots! Steal what? That’s Jun Lin Hall! Do you think we can just steal whatever we want in there?"
Brother Yang rolled his eyes at the group, thinking his brothers were hopelessly stupid. After all, Jun Lin Hall is right next to Demon Heart Hall!
"Not stealing? Then what about the stuff Mr. Wen gave you?"
Someone expressed confusion. They’d already accepted Mr. Wen’s gifts, yet couldn’t complete the task he assigned. If he found out, wouldn’t their fate be far from good?
"Would Mr. Wen come after us if he realized?"
"Come after us?"
Brother Yang sneered, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
"Who will come after whom—that’s yet to be decided. If they want to steal from Jun Lin Hall and word of this reaches the people of Jun Lin Hall, what do you think will happen to the Wen Family?"
At these words, everyone’s eyes lit up.
Yeah, if the Wen Family dares plot against Jun Lin Hall and Jun Lin Hall finds out, wouldn’t the Wen Family be doomed?
"Brother Yang, are you suggesting we expose the Wen Family’s plans to Jun Lin Hall and let them deal with the Wen Family themselves?"
"Tsk, tsk, Brother Yang, that’s honestly a brilliant idea! Mr. Wen always acts so high and mighty in front of us. Imagine what he’d look like when Jun Lin Hall catches him—probably groveling in front of Lord Qian, begging for mercy!"
The thought of Mr. Wen being captured by Jun Lin Hall and kneeling to plead with Lord Qian filled them with satisfaction.
"Are we really going to do this, Brother Yang? The people of Jun Lin Hall aren’t exactly saints either. What if they think we’re affiliated with the Wen Family and end up doing the same thing to us?"
One of them mimed a throat-slitting gesture as he spoke, concern evident on his face.
"That won’t happen. Jun Lin Hall has to abide by reason, don’t they?"
Brother Yang shook his head, full of confidence on this point.
They would pass the information to Jun Lin Hall and let them deal with the Wen Family themselves. By doing this, they’d essentially be performing a great favor for Jun Lin Hall.
Surely, the people of Jun Lin Hall wouldn’t repay kindness with cruelty and target ordinary Loose Cultivators like them, right?
"You sure about that, Brother Yang? Jun Lin Hall and Demon Heart Hall are basically one and the same. You’ve surely heard of Demon Heart Hall’s infamous ways of doing things, haven’t you?"
Although perhaps not as catastrophic as before, Demon Heart Hall has, in recent years, employed brutally swift measures to suppress all major clans within Wulong Mountain. They’ve forced them into submission and established Demon Heart Hall as the ultimate authority.
Some of their methods were truly savage.
