Chapitre 110: Trapped Or Trapped?
This day was the third day and tomorrow, Yang Zhai and the others would go to the Ma clan. Yang Zhai was walking on the outskirts of the forest.
He had told the elders that he wanted to deal with some matters before going to the Ma clan: such as informing his family about the trip, getting some things from his house, and other matters. Therefore, the elders didn't suspect him and allowed all of the four disciples to deal with their personal matters for today before going to the Ma clan tomorrow. Yang Zhai first went to his house to not arouse suspicions before secretly leaving the village to look for the Moon Bulls.
His aura was that of a rank 1 third-stage cultivator. He had modified his aura last night from rank 2 to rank 1 third stage. And the Rank 3 Blue Gem was able to easily modify his essence water's aura. Yang Zhai did not bring the manager Jun Seo with him because he suspected that besides Jun Seo and Hie Di, someone else might also be involved in this matter of killing newly awakened cultivators. And if that were the case, then bringing Jun Seo would be disadvantageous. If others saw Yang Zhai and the manager together, then they would know that Yang Zhai knew about their scheme and was a danger to them; thus, they would try to eliminate both the manager and Yang Zhai.
Yang Zhai was confident that he could save himself; however, he could not let the manager die because he was useful to Yang Zhai for now. And his essence stones had almost ended as well; therefore, keeping the manager alive was more beneficial than letting him die. Therefore, Yang Zhai had forbidden the manager from interacting with Yang Zhai in a manner that would indicate that they know each other.
And manager Jun Seo was also not a fool. He knew that if the other person who was managing the killing of the newly awakened cultivator knew that Yang Zhai was aware of their plans, they would definitely get rid of Jun Seo and Yang Zhai to be safe. After all, Jun Seo could be used to get to the other people who were also involved in the killing of the cultivators.
Yang Zhai walked carefully toward the location of the Moon Bulls. He knew that there was a chance of a sneak attack. Besides Hie Di and Jun Seo, nobody knew that Yang Zhai had come here before, the four mortals who had sneak attacked Yang Zhai previously had died, leaving no witnesses. And manager Jun Seo and the librarian Hie Di were not so foolish as to inform their higher-ups. Yang Zhai had trapped them with just his words. And right now, except for Yang Zhai, nobody from the village was aware that Yang Zhai was looking for the Moon Bulls, even the manager did not know.
So, as nobody, except for Jun Seo and Hie Di knew that Yang Zhai had appeared here before, there was a high chance that he would be sneak attacked again by the mortals. This was also good. This way, only the mortals would attack him and not the cultivators.
Yang Zhai kept on walking and heard some footsteps. This place was the same location where Yang Zhai was sneak attacked before. He smiled after hearing the footsteps.
It seemed like the same situation was about to occur once more. He was going to be sneak attacked again. He was alone and had come with the same purpose, just like before when he was sneak attacked when he was a rank one cultivator. However, there was a difference this time around and that was that he had fallen into the trap himself or rather he was not the one who was trapped.
After a while, five people appeared from behind the trees. Four of them seemed like mortals, whilst the fifth one was somehow different.
A cultivator? As expected, they have grown cautious and have sent a cultivator this time around: Yang Zhai thought and looked around.
"Hahaha, another mouse has fallen into our trap." One of the four mortals laughed and said.
"Catching the mouse is easier than the people make out to be. So, what if they are cultivators, they can be easily captured by us mortals." Another person spoke.
"You are right about that. Catching these mice is easier. However, someone killed our four members around two weeks ago. I really want to get my hands on the one who killed them. I will tear that person to pieces." The third mortal who spoke was clearly angry and wanted nothing but to tear the one who killed their members.
"Forget it, we can't do anything about that. And don't talk about the cultivators like this, or you will make the boss angry." The fourth person looked at the second person who spoke against the cultivators before looking at their fifth member.
The fifth member of their group clearly looked irritated by what the second person said.
After the second person looked at the fifth member's expression, he hurriedly bowed and said to the fifth member,
"Sorry… I am really sorry, boss. I didn't mean to insult you at all. I was clearly saying about the cultivates we kill. I promise, I did not mean to insult you."
"You fool, I will teach you a lesson after returning, for sure. But for now, we need to deal with this person." The fifth member shouted at the second member who was bowing on the ground before looking at Yang Zhai and saying.
From their tone, it seemed like the fifth member of their group was a cultivator.
If I am not mistaken, this cultivator was assigned because of the last incident, where I killed their four members. Impressive, as I had speculated, these people are not just limited to the mortals and Hie Di. If I am not wrong, Jun Seo and Hie Di might not even know their leader's identity, who is managing these killings of the newly awakened cultivators. This group is not a joke. Now that I am going to fight these five people, I need to make sure that none of them return alive; otherwise, some stronger cultivators might come after me. I should get rid of this cultivator first: Yang Zhai was thinking of the situation. He had suspected this to happen, thus,
"Who…who are you? W, w… What do you want?" Yang Zhai stammered and asked with a nervous expression. He was sweating and fear could be seen in his eyes.
"Look at his face, hahahahaha, he is scared out of his wits, nice, nice, fear us more, just like we mortals fear you." The second person laughed manically. It seemed like he hates cultivators to the core.
"Hahaha,"
"Hahahahaha,"
"hahhahaha" All of the four mortals laughed at Yang Zhai.
Strange, quite strange. It looks like they hate cultivators from the extreme. This was the case for the previous four members that I killed. I think this group recruits mortals who hate the cultivators from every cell of their bodies. After all, mortals won't be so daring as to try to kill cultivators, except for the ones who hate the cultivators to the extreme: Yang Zhai came to a conclusion after seeing these four mortals' behavior.
It was a very clever move. Choosing the mortals who hated the cultivators to the extreme was a good idea. This way, the mortals would give their all to kill the cultivators. However, this was also a weakness. Because people like these acted mostly on their impulses and desires.
"We are the ones who you will see for the last time. Do you have any last wish before meeting your ancestors?" The fifth person and also the leader of their group asked.
"Wha… What are you… saying? Why… What did I do to you?" Yang Zhai looked like he was scared to the brim. However, he did not know his opponent's cultivation rank. Yang Zhai was not so foolish as to blindly believe in his strength and challenge the people without knowing their cultivation, to him, pride was nothing. Even though Yang Zhai had guesses that his opponent must be a rank 1 cultivator, he did not take the chance. Yang Zhai would never underestimate his opponents. He would always take everyone seriously. After all, this was a cultivation world and everything was possible here.
