Chapter 3296: Chapter 3296: They’d Be Doomed Too!
The situation in Rock City is even worse than they imagined, it’s really a headache. Had they known earlier, they should have brought more people.
But given the current circumstances, bringing more people would be inappropriate, as it would easily draw attention.
"Ah, I really don’t know what those sects and major clans are doing. Rock City has already been taken over by evil cultivators, and there hasn’t been a single movement from them!"
He pretended to complain while glancing at the boss.
"What do you mean ’haven’t done anything’? Just a few days ago, a group of sect disciples were killed here in the city. Their bodies were thrown onto Salt Lane, piled up and already rotting—no one dares to go there anymore."
The boss said.
These people came from the Inner City, maybe they don’t know the situation here. Sect disciples are blocked by the locals here, certainly unable to enter the Inner City.
"Salt Lane!"
The Fifth Senior Brother glanced at Min Yi, his eyes bursting with dangerous light.
He restrained the urge to rush out and look for Salt Lane, holding back and continuing to chat with the boss.
"So sect disciples have come already, huh? We must have misunderstood. They weren’t seen in the Inner City, nor was there any news about it." He smiled and said.
"Are evil cultivators so fierce? Are sect disciples no match for them? Have they all been killed, or did anyone escape?" Qian Yizheng asked softly.
"How could they be a match for those evil cultivators?"
The boss shook his head repeatedly. It would be great if they could kill all those evil cultivators, but unfortunately, no one can achieve that.
"I don’t know if they’ve all been killed or not. Just in the past few days, evil cultivators are still tracking sect disciples. It’s said they are following some kind of pattern, catching them easily.
Just the day before yesterday, I personally saw... uh, never mind, never mind."
Almost letting it slip, he hurriedly shook his head.
He witnessed the sect disciples, whom he had secretly given food several times, being dragged up to the city gate by evil cultivators and then killed.
Fortunately, those sect disciples were proud enough not to reveal the identities of those who secretly gave them food during the night, or else they would have been doomed too!
"Ugh!"
Hearing this, it’s certainly not good news. More sect disciples must have been killed.
Those evil cultivators—he really wishes to kill every single one he encounters!
But this matter isn’t something he can do as he wishes. The Fifth Senior Brother, thinking of the killed sect disciples including those from their Bright Moon Sect, got very agitated.
"You all continue eating, I’m going outside to take a look," said the boss, and then left.
"These..."
The Fifth Senior Brother, seeing the person leave, was about to say something but was stopped by Qian Yizheng raising his hand.
"Whatever you have to say, let’s talk when we get back."
Qian Yizheng said, a defensive attitude is necessary. Although the boss seems to have said everything upon seeing them, who can be certain whether he is with the evil cultivators?
Moreover, in Rock City, a place ravaged by evil cultivators, which fool would openly speak their mind to strangers they meet?
If something seems odd, it’s either truly dumb or very cunning.
"Finish quickly, then we’ll go check other places."
"Alright."
The Fifth Senior Brother and Min Yi replied in unison.
They also felt it was too strange to stay in this dark, dimly lit room, better eat and leave quickly.
As for the food, there’s no need to worry. Before leaving, Qian Yizheng had already given each of them an antidote pill, ensuring they wouldn’t be affected by toxins, even if they were poisoned.

The other groups investigating on the streets encountered similar situations.
