Chapter 3390: Chapter 3390: Is the Truth Really That Simple?
He couldn’t help but secretly guess, does Yang Tianxiu truly have the skill to move through the heavily poisoned City Lord’s Mansion as if it were a poison-free realm?
Or is there some hidden passage in his room that leads outside, allowing him to exit the City Lord Residence directly and reach the Gathering Demon Hall?
Both possibilities seemed plausible to him, making it difficult to decide.
Taking a deep breath, he decided to first check other parts of the City Lord Residence. Maybe there were still some survivors, or perhaps quite a few people who hadn’t come out at night, realizing something was wrong in the morning and thus didn’t dare to step out. It wasn’t only Yang Tianxiu who stayed in.
At this thought, he couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
If Yang Tianxiu truly wasn’t afraid of the poison in the City Lord’s Mansion, why wouldn’t he dare to come out? With his temperament, if he knew the City Lord’s Mansion had been tampered with by that group, he would have jumped out long ago.
It seems he still overestimated Yang Tianxiu a bit; he wasn’t as formidable as imagined.
...
"What a pity, we didn’t find any trace of Yang Tianxiu. It’s truly a shame."
In a new courtyard, Min Yi regretfully took a sip of the freshly cooked rice porridge before speaking.
They had split into three groups, searching the City Lord Residence all night, yet couldn’t find that damned Yang Tianxiu. Some places had been searched four or five times, and no one knew where he was hiding.
"Indeed, it’s a shame."
The others nodded, feeling somewhat uneasy.
"Who would have thought that person would be so cowardly, hiding while sleeping, making it impossible for anyone to find him? That woman from the Saintess Sect wasn’t even that elusive."
Second Senior Brother Yan added.
Yet they hadn’t expected to capture Yang Tianxiu so quickly either.
If Yang Tianxiu were that easy to deal with, they wouldn’t need to spend so much time here, nor would they know how much longer they’d be stuck.
"Didn’t you guys find the City Lord Residence unusually quiet last night, with so few guards? Could it always have been this way?" Senior Brother Xiao raised his doubts.
Since entering the City Lord Residence last night, he had felt something was off. The City Lord Residence, which was now Yang Tianxiu’s place, headquarters of all evil cultivation, could not possibly have so few guards protecting it.
So, what exactly happened for there to be so few guards left in the City Lord’s Mansion?
"What’s so strange about that? We’ve killed enough people; they’re likely short on manpower and maybe all have been dispatched outside to patrol." Min Yi scoffed, feeling dissatisfied and wanting to do something yet being unable to.
At his words, the others looked towards Min Yi. Was it really that simple?
Qian Yizheng frowned, feeling that the people and events they had encountered these days had been overly simplified.
They wanted to enter the Inner City, and Xiao Yi was indeed drawn out to the Outer City, allowing them to massacre the evil cultivators in the Inner City. They wanted to seize a big opportunity when Xiao Yi had just returned to the Inner City, and they actually succeeded, poisoning so many evil cultivators in one night.
They wanted to enter the City Lord Residence, and everyone there really was poisoned to death.
Of course, except for Yang Tianxiu.
Could it all really be that they were simply too lucky and blessed by heaven?
"Eldest Brother, all the people from the Saintess Sect are dead." An Yilu put down the bowl in his hand, and spoke to his elder brother.
