Chapter 3307: Chapter 3307: Not a Disciple of the Sect
And now, at this moment, the master hasn’t given the order, so naturally, they’re not going to openly kill all the people and ransack their homes.
So, those who were supposed to guard the Inner City, stay by the master’s side, ended up wanting to seize his territory.
He received news that several people had secretly reported him, saying his governance was lax, causing so many Evil Cultivators to perish—an unforgivable sin!
Originally, he could have countered the charges by bringing out the Sect Disciples causing trouble in the city.
But now, he hasn’t found a single trace, how could he not be furious?
"Leader, we’ve looked everywhere and even killed a lot of people, but still haven’t found them."
The team leader felt so aggrieved. They had seriously searched, but those people seemed to be invisible; no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t find a trace.
What could he do? He could only come back to get scolded by the leader.
"Besides, the citizens now don’t dare to come out. It’s even harder for us to find those Sect Disciples."
"Then drive all the citizens out, make them stand in Salt Lane. If we can’t find the Sect Disciples, they shouldn’t think about going back—stay there!"
The leader was almost fuming, he snapped.
He didn’t care about the fate of those citizens as long as he could maintain his current status. It didn’t matter how many of them died.
But he could be indifferent, and the team leader couldn’t help reminding him, "Leader, amongst those citizens, there are some branches of the major clans. If we drive them all to Salt Lane and people end up dead, it might provoke their direct descendants—wouldn’t that be inappropriate?"
Upon hearing this, the leader choked on his words.
Indeed, there are still some major clan members in the city. If he really drove them to that wretched place, Salt Lane, it might provoke dangers he couldn’t afford.
"Damn it, they’re relying on us not daring to deal with the major clan members, that’s why they’re so arrogant, right? Go and find them, intensify the manpower for the search. If you can’t find them, I’ll put you up there!"
The team leader broke out in cold sweat, nodding repeatedly.
What’s the use of putting them up there? What they need to find are the Sect Disciples, or maybe...
"Leader, do you think the people we’re looking for might not be Sect Disciples at all?"
"What do you mean?"
The leader suddenly stopped pacing, turned, and looked at the team leader, asking.
If they’re not Sect Disciples, then who else could it be? Surely the major clans wouldn’t have intervened, right? If that’s the case, things would get complicated.
Near Rock City, the major clans are just small aristocratic families which cannot stir up much trouble, but it’s different elsewhere. If they’re really here, not to mention the Evil Cultivation, the entire populace of Rock City combined could be directly eliminated.
"Leader, don’t you think just those Sect people couldn’t have killed so many of us? Not to mention the ones before in Salt Lane, there are so many of our people outside the city gates, and they were all killed with no trace left.
If it’s said to be the Sect Disciples who did it, who would believe it? Didn’t someone say before that those people might be linked to a certain major clan in the city?"
Though the major clan members had already left, it didn’t prevent someone from staying behind to continue causing disturbances.
