Chapter 3481: Chapter 3481: What Are You Worried About?
"Let’s start the action from today."
Though there was ample time, he still had things to do. He couldn’t send the civilians to the City Lord Residence and walk through Yang Tianxiu’s study.
Therefore, he could only find someone to dig another tunnel, directly connecting to the underground secret tunnel, to send all the civilians away.
...
In the afternoon, in a courtyard far from the City Lord Residence, inside a certain room.
"Start digging from here."
Xiao Yi personally found a spot to dig, believing it should be the nearest route.
"You dig sideways from here. Remember to be careful, don’t collapse it." He instructed a few confidants.
Digging carefully wouldn’t create any commotion, but if it collapsed, Yang Tianxiu, even if injured, might still notice.
Therefore, he would not give Yang Tianxiu the chance to notice.
"Yes, Leader."
Several Evil Cultivators received the orders and began to fiercely dig at the spot Xiao Yi had marked, using various digging tools.
After several hours of digging, during the dawn hours, they finally reached the so-called secret tunnel.
"Leader, we’ve reached it."
An Evil Cultivator hurriedly crawled out from the tunnel entrance, excitedly speaking.
"Good!"
Xiao Yi shouted a word of approval.
"Now start expanding the tunnel entrance and reinforcing it to ensure that as civilians pass through, there will be no collapse."
He further instructed.
"Yes, Master."
The excited Evil Cultivator responded and turned back into the tunnel.
"Master, it’s now midnight. Should we send a batch of civilians out first?" An Evil Cultivator next to Xiao Yi, who hadn’t participated in the digging, asked.
"No rush yet."
Xiao Yi shook his head.
Even if they organized a batch of civilians now, they couldn’t get out.
The array formation was opened by Qian Yizheng and others. Without them, how could one open it? It was simply impossible.
"The civilians in the city need to be screened again to ensure there are no Evil Cultivators among them." He stated.
He wasn’t afraid of Evil Cultivators leaving the city, because once they did, there would be no path but death.
However, he feared mistaking Evil Cultivators for ordinary civilians, causing his plan to fail due to those people!
Thus, in the matter of sending civilians out of the city, utmost caution was essential.
"Understood, sir." The Evil Cultivator nodded.
They were afraid too. Doing such things under Yang Tianxiu’s watchful eyes, who wouldn’t be afraid?
Thus, they were extremely cautious in their tasks, and if there was any suspicion, they wouldn’t send those civilians out.
"Guard here, I’ll be back soon."
Xiao Yi did not stay longer; instead, he let his subordinates keep watch while he went out to find someone.
...
"That fast and already finished digging?"
Qian Yizheng received the news and was quite surprised.
He was amazed at Xiao Yi’s speed. Was he that afraid of being exposed, completing the first task so swiftly?
"Yes, done digging, but now it’s the issue concerning the civilians." Xiao Yi replied.
"What are you worried about?"
Qian Yizheng observed the cautious look on his face and asked.
"Worried about Evil Cultivators hidden among the civilians." Xiao Yi didn’t hide it and spoke directly.
He was naturally very worried about this. Evil Cultivators wouldn’t dare leave the city, so he was most afraid of having Evil Cultivators hidden among civilians, suddenly exposing them with a shocking revelation.
Then everything would be lost.
"Heh."
Qian Yizheng chuckled lightly.
"What’s there to be afraid of?"
"You all are Evil Cultivators, just break into their homes, knock them unconscious, and carry them away." Qian Yizheng shrugged.
