Chapter 3293: Chapter 3293: Let Me Stay Here and Watch Over You
"I heard the civilians talking, saying that many civilians escaped from the city today, and then a large number of Evil Cultivation went to hunt them down. Can you guess the result?"
The man sat down on a wooden plank, looking up at the ones who didn’t want to take a seat and asked them in return.
"What happened?"
The others weren’t curious at all; either way, the civilians were likely all killed. If there’s a different outcome, it must be that many civilians managed to escape.
"This result, none of you can guess it."
When the man spoke of this, his eyes brightened.
"I heard none of the Evil Cultivation who went to hunt them down came back; they’re all dead, and quite a few civilians managed to escape."
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately got interested.
Could someone have killed off a large number of Evil Cultivation? Could it be that disciples from a Sect have arrived at Rock City, or perhaps people from the major clans?
"It’s true—the city gates are sealed now, guarded by many Evil Cultivation. Except for the major clans with influence, no one else can leave the city."
The man nodded.
But this didn’t affect them much. No matter what, they couldn’t leave anyway.
If they went out and encountered a large number of Evil Cultivation hunting them down, they wouldn’t be able to escape either. It’s better to huddle inside the city; who knows, the Evil Cultivation here might be wiped out someday.
"However, there’s not much other activity in the city; even during the night, there aren’t many Evil Cultivation patrolling."
"So, is it someone from our side or not?"
Someone seemed to have had a bucket of cold water poured over them and instantly became deflated.
No activity in the city means the Evil Cultivation already confirmed that those who killed their kin are not in the city, right?
Now, there’s no hope anymore. They originally thought this was their great chance. If only they could go and join forces with those who killed Evil Cultivation, it would be great.
Although they couldn’t kill many Evil Cultivation, at least it’s a part of the fight.
"Well, not necessarily. Maybe those who killed the Evil Cultivation are hiding in the city too. We’ll see what happens next; something might occur—who knows?"
The man shook his head and said.
Don’t always think the worst; maybe something good will happen?
Moreover, they’ve been in this underground cellar for so many days already; waiting a few more days won’t hurt. If no one enters the city, they won’t suffer loss, right?
"This time, I’ve brought back enough food. For the next two days, let’s not go outside. Although things seem peaceful now, it’s just on the surface."
He continued.
"Okay."
The others agreed.
If they weren’t going out, they weren’t either. There’s nothing to do outside, and they’d still worry about getting caught.
Staying in the cellar, they can continue cultivating, aiming for a higher cultivation level. That way, they could kill a couple more Evil Cultivation. If they went up now, they wouldn’t kill many anyway and might expose everyone. Otherwise, they would have rushed out to kill a few more Evil Cultivation.
...
The next day, they woke up naturally.
Nuonuo stretched lazily on the bed. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Boat sitting by his bed.
"Fifth Brother, why are you here? Where is the eldest brother?"
He was puzzled. Did he remember wrong? He clearly recalled sleeping with his eldest brother last night, so why did he see Fifth Brother upon waking up?
"The eldest brother and the others went outside to gather information, and he asked me to stay and look after you." Boat said honestly.
