章 1171: Luring

The three of them waited for a few more hours until the farmers were finally released. But they are all dejected.

As they are leaving, the Inner disciple gave another announcement.

"I know that you are feeling unhappy at the moment. But there was nothing I could do. I did my best to save your fields and only that much was possible.

I caught the culprit and after extracting the information, we would be holding  a public execution and his assets will be divided among the farmers based on the losses they suffered."

After hearing this announcement, the farmers are a bit relieved, but they are still dejected and go back to their own farms to see what was left for them.

The inner disciple finally sighed after this was over. Now, he could find a way to save his ass and he was closer to his goal than ever.
