C99

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

For the past three days, Lin City and Zhu Ziquan had pretended to be ordinary adventurers and had stayed in the Heaven Eye Mountain. They had not even taken half a step away from the mountain.

At the same time, the two moved separately. They were observing the situation of the mine from the top of the mountain which was not far away from the mine.

At night, the two of them would meet again to gather all the information they had gathered.

After three days of investigation, the two came to a conclusion.

"From the looks of it, the number one expert in the mine is the manager and Chu Qiuchi."

"There are at least 50 people in the patrol team, every 5 people in a team. Currently, we only have 10 teams. Of course, this might not be the whole team. There might be more."

"There are at least several hundred of them in the mine. From what I can see, they are all martial artists, most of them are at the Rebirth Realm. Some of them have even broken through to the Arterial Circulation Realm. They can already be considered experts!"

"As for the laborers and servants, there are at least one to two thousand of them. Because there are too many of them, we can only judge them from the rows of houses. The exact number is still unknown."

"This is the information I've gathered in the past three days, as well as the information I've secretly observed."

On top of a large tree, Lin Cheng and Bamboo Hill were sitting side by side on a thick branch. Her melodious voice rang out in a low tone, bringing with it a trace of amazement.

"If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known that the Chu Clan had such a strong power. It's just a mining field, and they already have this kind of people. If the entire Chu Clan's property is included, the Chu Clan's power is really shocking."

The three days of observation had shocked Bamboo Acupoint.

Originally, she had thought that the Chu and Wen Families should be evenly matched, with similar strengths. After all these years, it was true that both sides were evenly matched.

But now, she realized that unknowingly, the Chu Clan actually possessed such powerful strength.

Putting aside the common laborers and servants, there were at least several hundred warriors in this mining site. Among them, there were probably at least a dozen or even more in the Pulse Rotation Stage.

Then, if there were the guards in Ci City's store, as well as a caravan with more warriors, all of these added together, how many warriors did the Chu Clan have?

Among them, how many were at the Arterial Circulation Realm?

He was going to kill nearly a hundred people!

Just the thought of this number was enough to shock everyone. Although it was just a common occurrence for a martial artist to be able to reach the Mai realm, a martial artist at the Mai realm was already much more valuable!

Usually, a small family would have three to five Pulse Wheel Realm masters, but they were already able to gain a foothold in remote places. If they had more than ten Pulse Wheel Realm masters, they would be able to gain considerable power in a small city!

In Zhu Ziyang's memory, even the Wenjia family that had adopted her only had a total of less than twenty Pulse Wheel Realm masters. Several of them were only at the first or second level of the Pulse Wheel Realm, while the rest were teachers, managers, Wen Zhongming and his son.

Compared to the Chu Family, it was incomparable!

"Little thief, if you were to say that the Chu Clan has a Spirit Stone Mountain, I would believe you!" Zhu Zifu took a deep breath and could not help but sigh. If he wanted to nurture so many experts without resources that would make anyone's hair stand on end, then that was simply unthinkable.

Lin City's eyes were also shining, "It looks like, the Chu Clan does not only have spirit stones, they also have other cultivation resources!"

Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but say, "Little thief, this time we've set the Chu Clan as our target, I don't know if it's right or wrong …"

The Chu Family's strength was truly beyond her imagination.

From this, it could be concluded that the Chu Clan possessed a lot of cultivation resources. As a result, Zhu Ziquan suspected that the master of the Chu Clan, Chu Qiu Wu, had already broken through to the Danhai stage and had become a cultivator!

Although there were no such rumors in the outside world, but just by looking at the many experts of the Chu Clan, one could tell that the Chu Clan was obviously concealing their strength, which was why they didn't display their martial prowess to the public. They even had to put up a confrontational front, not giving the Wen Clan the upper hand, in order to not arouse suspicion from the outside world.

If this was the case, then who knows how many more experts the Chu Family had hidden!

Lin Cheng naturally understood this logic. He held onto the bamboo stick in his hand and said, "Girl, don't worry. If I really can't do anything, I won't try to be brave."

Zhu Zifu pursed his lips and nodded his head, feeling somewhat worried in his heart.

"The Chu Clan's strength is beyond my expectations." Lin Cheng smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's change our plans."

"How?" Zhu Ziquan immediately asked.

"Very simple, we will capture Chu Qiuchi and that manager directly!" Lin Cheng said, "As the brother of the head of the Chu Family, and he is personally guarding here, if there are spirit stones here, he would definitely know!"

Just the fact that there were experts in this mine made Lin Cheng realize the power of the Chu Family. Thus, he changed his plan and prepared to take action against Chu Qiuchi and the rest.

Bamboo Shoot couldn't help but frown and asked suspiciously, "Little thief, how do you want to capture them? "There are so many people below, even one kick is enough to kill us all!"

Lin Cheng patted his waist. Under his clothes was a storage bag filled with elixirs and all kinds of herbs, "For an alchemist, having more people doesn't mean that they're scary."

"You want to... Poison? "

Zhui Ziquan's eyes immediately widened, "Little thief, are you crazy? The majority of the people below are innocent laborers. Even if the members of the Chu Family have offended you for being so domineering, but those laborers and servants shouldn't deserve to die, right? "No, I don't agree with your plan."

Lin Cheng's brows twitched as he asked, "Then, do you also not wish to raise your strength?"

Before Zhu Ziyang could say anything, he continued, "Don't forget, if you don't have enough strength, you won't be able to find out how your biological parents died in the past. Furthermore, even if you do manage to find out about it, what if it really is what you think it is, then how are you going to take revenge? "

Zhuzi bit her lips and hesitated for a moment. Then, she resolutely said, "If I had to poison so many people just for revenge …" Can't do it. Little thief, why don't we give up? "

"You don't intend to pursue it?"

Lin Cheng asked.

Zhu Ziyang shook his head and said, "I can use other methods, or I can wait until I become stronger before coming back to investigate." I firmly believe that this is not the only way to improve my strength! "

She gazed at Lin Cheng with a hint of anticipation in her eyes. She pursed her lips and said, "Little thief, I know you definitely aren't such a vicious person. You're not that savage, right?"

Lin Cheng shook his head, "That may not be the case, little girl. That's a spirit stone after all! Moreover, it's very likely to be a spirit stone vein. Even cultivators would go crazy over it, let alone a little martial artist like me. To me, this is a rare opportunity. If I miss it, I would probably regret it for the rest of my life. How could I give it up? "

Zhui Ziquan could not help but ask, "For the sake of spirit stones, you intend to poison all those laborers and servants?"

"That's right!"

Lin Cheng nodded and said.

Zhuzi's pretty face immediately paled, and a deep sense of disappointment flashed across her eyes. Her heart felt even more uncomfortable. "Little thief, why are you so …"

She was about to reprimand Lin Cheng, but before she could say anything, she suddenly froze. That was because she saw a hint of a smile flash past Lin City's eyes.

"You … Stinking little thief, you're lying to me! "

Bamboo Pea immediately reacted, her disappointed face immediately becoming fierce. "You actually dared to lie to me!?" "I won't let you go …"

"Haha …"

Lin Cheng immediately smiled and pleaded, "I know my wrongs, I won't dare to do it again …"

Only after her petite hand had viciously slapped Lin Cheng did Bamboo Fortress forgive him, but she continued to bite her lips and glare at him. She could not help but heave a sigh of relief; she knew that this little thief would not be so vicious and merciless.

"Then... Should we give up now? " Zhu Zifu asked.

"Such a good opportunity, how can I give it up?!" Lin Cheng chuckled, "Not killing these people by poison doesn't mean that I have no other options."

Bamboo Fork was stunned. "You have a plan?"

Lin Cheng grinned, "Little girl, how difficult do you think it is for an apothecary to knock these people out?"

Zhu Zi's beautiful eyes lit up, "Do you have a way to make all of them pass out? And you don't even need to hurt the lives of those laborers and servants?"

Lin Cheng said, "The laborers and servants are all ordinary people, and even the warriors are only at the Rebirth Realm. It's too easy for them to pass out. However, I can only guarantee that I won't take their lives, but if I want to find out about the Spirit Stones from Chu Qiuchi and that manager, I will have to use some methods. "

Zhu Zifu immediately said, "That's for the best! As long as you do not harm the lives of those laborers and servants, Chu Qiuchi and that steward can be used any way you want! "

"I am relieved that you can think like this."

Lin Cheng smiled faintly.

What he was worried about the most was that this girl was too soft-hearted.

It was not a problem to not kill the laborers and servants. In fact, Lin City did not intend to take their lives, but towards Chu Qiuchi and that steward, if they did not use any methods against them, Lin City knew that they would not easily reveal where the spirit stones were.

However, the methods that he needed to use were not gentle at all.

If that happened, even if she found spirit stones and eventually became a cultivator, she might not be able to take her revenge!

In such a cruel environment where the strong preyed on the weak, being excessively kind would only harm oneself in the end.

"Next, it should begin." Lin Cheng smiled faintly.
