There were already sounds of fighting outside Jun Lin Hall. Hundreds of sacrificial warriors attacked Jun Lin Hall from different directions. Fortunately, MO Aotian had been on guard and had devised a countermeasure.
If the people from Jun Lin Hall fought against the sacrificial warriors, they would die.
Although the sacrificial warriors had human features, could breathe, and felt pain, none of them were afraid of dying. They could not speak and had been immersed in poison since they were young.
They were immune to common poisons and were more difficult to kill with swords than ordinary people.
However, the people from Jun Lin Hall were still superior to them. Half of the sacrificial warriors had died in less than half an hour.
Qian Jiyun stood on the roof with An Jiuyue and looked at the brightly lit surroundings.
“There are so many people! Killing them like this isn’t a good idea, right?” An Jiuyue asked Qian Jiyun as she looked at the sacrificial warriors.
Dressed in black, they were unafraid of dying and would not even frown or flinch when they were slain.
They did not frown, but she did.
She had heard that the aristocratic families on Wulong Mountain had been raising sacrificial warriors since they were young. To the aristocratic families, sacrificial warriors were not human lives—they were just chess pieces that could be discarded.
However…
“Do we really have to kill all these people?” she asked hesitantly. “It doesn’t matter to them whether they die or not.”
Qian Jiyun reached out and pulled her into his arms. He glanced at the sacrificial warriors and smiled.
“Their deaths might be a form of relief for them. It would also save them years of suffering from the poison.”
“I didn’t say they didn’t deserve to die.”
An Jiuyue shook her head. She was not benevolent enough to plead for mercy on their behalf.
“But Master Ling must have a motive for sending these people to their deaths. I wonder what he wants. Does he want to use these lives to incite discontent among the various aristocratic families against Jun Lin Hall?” “Maybe.” Qian Jiyun narrowed his eyes and nodded.
“How can these sacrificial warriors make the aristocratic families unhappy with Jun Lin Hall and attack you? Isn’t he overestimating them?”
Since the aristocratic families had listened to Master Ling and handed these sacrificial warriors to him, they would not care about them, right?
How could he stir up trouble like this? She was skeptical about it.
“His scheme is not as simple as the lives of a few sacrificial warriors. He’s just giving the aristocratic families a reason.” Qian Jiyun chuckled and looked down at An Jiuyue.
Upon hearing that, An Jiuyue understood. It was a reason to cause trouble, one that allowed Master Ling to convince the aristocratic families to deal with Jun Lin Hall together.
“That’s true. Master Ling probably wants something I have, right?”
She only had two items—the Life Stone and the little Flame Fox—which had returned to her possession after she returned to Wulong Mountain.
Since Master Ling leaked information about the little Flame Fox, he must not be after it. Hence, he had to be after the Life Stone.
The greatest use of the Life Stone was to extend one’s lifespan. Moreover, it was only beneficial to her..
