“Hall Master, what about Elder Sikong...”

“Don’t worry, everyone might betray the Broken Mountain Gang, except for him.” Luo Chen said without turning his head.

Earlier, it was he who let the old man in.

The reason for doing so was straightforward.

The old man’s son, Sikong Yuanhong, was the son-in-law of the Mi family, bound to Mi Shuhua’s future plans.

If Sikong Shoujia still had hopes for the Great Dao Path, he might have had it in him to betray his own family, directly defecting to the enemy.

However, metaphorically old as he was, he had no hope of achieving the path to greatness in his lifetime. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

It was exactly for this reason, everyone else might betray him, but Sikong Shoujia would not!

Luo Chen raised his hand, pointing to the sky full of crossing glints.

He laughingly explained: “Have you noticed? They don’t seem particularly intent on taking Crescent Valley.”

Liu Qiang was surprised, unconscious of their aim if not to take Crescent Valley.

Zhou Yuanli frowned, seemingly realizing something.

Murong Qinglian and Sikong Shoujia also came forward, watching the distance.

“I noticed as well. The encirclement outside was clearly complete, but encountering the low-order cultivators of Pill Hall and Medicine Hall, they simply drove them away instead of out and out killing them.”

“What nonsense!”

Sikong Shoujia was dissatisfied with Murong Qinglian’s words, angrily retorting: “That man chasing me wanted nothing more than to rip me to pieces!”

Murong Qinglian paused, seemingly realizing something.

“Indeed, they don’t kill lower-order cultivators. But attacking me and Caiyi was with reckless abandon. If we didn’t have defensive magic tools, we would have been killed or seriously maimed.”

Since they had a defensive magic tool, one of them was unharmed and the other was gravely injured.

Taking this into account, Luo Chen seemed to ponder something.

“They drive away lower-order cultivators primarily and murder late-stage cultivators.”

“Dan Xiu, keep your patience.”

Dan Xiu’s face was grim, a far cry from his usual calm demeanor.

“You tell me how to stay calm. Initially, we just asked that kid for a toll, and he ended up crippling three of my men. Yet the Broken Mountain Gang issued an order to hunt me down.”

“I could restrain myself, but my hand cannot!”

Everyone looked at his left hand, where a cruel-looking iron claw shone in cold light in place of his palm.

A cultivator wearing a yellow robe couldn’t help but laugh: “Your iron claw seems to be a medium grade magic tool, rather unique.”

“Fu Zhang!”

“Enough, stop arguing. The order is to besiege but not kill, stop making a scene!” Gao Tingyuan, standing at the forefront, issued a stern rebuke.

However, Dan Xiu was not willing to yield.

“You were the one who leaked Dan Chenzi’s information to me in the first place, Gao Tingyuan! You want him dead more than I do! Do you think your act of righteousness here is convincing?”

Despite Dan Xiu’s physically imposing figure, Gao Tingyuan’s aura was just as formidable, if not superior.

His cold gaze was piercing.

“When you bungled the situation back then, wasn’t it me who took you into the Great Lake Gang?”

“So, you are challenging me now.”

“If you have the ability, you can storm into the formation by yourself, capture Luo Chen alive, and torture him as you wish!”

Dan Xiu opened his mouth, glanced at the only silent figure, and finally spat angrily before falling silent.

Once Dan Xiu became quiet, the previously laughing Fu Zhang now wore a serious expression.

He leaned on a large hammer, resting it on the ground.

“01 Gao, it’s not a solution to drag it like this. The Broken Mountain Gang has numerous experts, sooner or later, someone will come to their aid.”

“When are we launching the attack, give us a time, so the brothers can prepare.”

Gao Tingyuan breathed in deeply, striving to suppress the bloodlust surging inside him.

He looked around, cultivators from the Great Lake Gang were constantly patrolling to ensure that no corner was left unchecked, and not a single cultivator from within Crescent Valley could escape.

Even behind Crescent Valley, he had arranged a team of cultivators who would signal at the first sight of any activity..
