Li Luoqiu had arrived at Black Eagle Mountain one day earlier, left markers along the way, and successfully rendezvoused with Jun Changxiao who came later.

During this time, she had completely scouted Black Eagle Mountain’s terrain and topography, creating a simple map.

Specialization was key.

If it were our Lord Night Emperor instead, he definitely couldn’t have done it.

Jun Changxiao carefully observed Black Eagle Mountain’s terrain and began contemplating how to destroy Black Eagle Hall.

Lead the disciples up to kill them?

That was definitely something only someone with a brain disease would do.

After a long while.

Jun Changxiao stroked his chin and said, “We don’t know whether Black Eagle Mountain has traps and mechanisms. Guard this sole entrance and ambush anyone who comes out.”

This guy was thinking the same as Yang Zhi—both wanting to crouch at someone’s doorstep playing dirty tricks.

Li Luoqiu said, “Sect Master, it’s been over half a month since you destroyed that Black Eagle Hall group. They should have already started investigating.”

“If they’ve obtained information, they’ll definitely take action. Hiding at the entrance to ambush them is the most secure method.”

She’d long been equipped with an 88-style sniper rifle, so naturally she hoped to ambush people in secret.

After thorough deliberation, Jun Changxiao immediately ordered the disciples to guard Black Eagle Mountain’s sole entrance and exit.

The Drizzle Hall members led by Li Luoqiu formed one group, lurking on the right side with their 88-style sniper rifles set up.

The left side was Jun Changxiao’s responsibility. He ordered Xiao Zueji to stand in the tallest tree and similarly set up an 88-style sniper rifle.

Unfortunately.

They didn’t have Italian cannons.

Otherwise, standing at the mountain’s base, they could directly bombard Black Eagle Hall’s headquarters with artillery—that would be truly amazing.

Viper led over a dozen members lurking two hundred meters up.

“Brother Snake.”

Li Shangtian had also come along. He nervously whispered, “Are… are we going to kill people?”

Brother Snake, hiding in the shadows, kicked his leg and whispered, “Stop fucking trembling and get up in that tree to observe.”

Li Shangtian jumped into the tree, his legs still trembling, so he said with a bitter face, “I don’t want to either, but I can’t control myself…”

Though he was a native of Xingyun Continent, he’d only killed chickens and ducks—never killed a person. When coming here, he’d been full of bravado, but when actually on the battlefield, his legs naturally went weak.

Zhang Wei and the others had experienced Death Valley training and killed nothing more than fierce beasts, so they were also somewhat nervous.

Among the disciples present, only Ye Xingchen’s mental state was most stable, because in his previous life he’d killed too many people.

Jun Changxiao brought them along precisely to temper their hearts and minds, so they could adapt to this world’s cruelty, rather than being a bunch of greenhouse flowers who only knew how to cultivate in the sect.

“Sect Master.”

Xiao Zueji in the tree, his eye on the eight-times scope, said quietly, “People are coming down from the mountain.”

“How many?” Jun Changxiao said.

Xiao Zueji kept the Black Eagle Hall mountain gate locked in his sights and said, “About a hundred.”

“That many?”

Jun Changxiao stroked his chin and murmured, “Could it be they’ve already discovered their companions were killed and are going to attack my Iron Bones Sect?”

“Sect Master.”

Li Luoqiu also saw them through her scope and said quietly, “These people have steady footsteps. Their strength shouldn’t be weak.”

“Give me the gun.”

“Swish!”

Xiao Zueji habitually passed over the 88-style sniper rifle.

Jun Changxiao put on his Radiant Sunglasses and, relying on the eight-times scope, successively observed that group’s strength.

These hundred Black Eagle Hall disciples were at minimum Fifth-Rank Wutu, with over twenty peak Wutu among them and two First-Rank Wushi.

“Tsk tsk.”

Jun Changxiao murmured, “Their strength is somewhat formidable.”

Over a hundred people, at minimum Fifth-Rank Wutu—they were definitely going to cause trouble. Otherwise, they wouldn’t make such a big move.

“Sect Master.”

Li Luoqiu kept observing and said, “They’re going to the Iron Bones Sect.”

“Huh?”

Jun Changxiao said, “How do you know?”

Li Luoqiu smiled and said, “For a professional assassin, understanding lip reading is crucial.”

My god.

At such a distance, seeing through an eight-times scope and interpreting their lip movements while speaking—that was too professional!

Viper, Wildcat, and the others were extremely envious.

The art of lip reading—in Drizzle Tower, only the boss knew it. They’d learned it before but could never grasp the essentials.

…

On the stone steps at the mountainside.

The Hunting Group’s leader walked in front, with the deputy leader and numerous members following closely behind. Since they were going to investigate first, they weren’t rushing.

“Big Brother.”

The deputy leader said quite disdainfully, “An eighth-rate sect, and the boss sends us to investigate? Isn’t that making a mountain out of a molehill?”

“Yeah.”

A member said, “Our Hunting Group once went head-to-head with a sixth-rate sect. Now going to investigate a small Iron Bones Sect—isn’t that using an ox-cleaver to kill a chicken?”

The leader was also unhappy inside, but said, “Stop fucking complaining. Since the boss gave the order, our Hunting Group must successfully complete it.”

“Big Brother.”

The deputy leader said, “The boss said we can act once we confirm the Vice Hall Master’s blood energy. In my opinion, when the time comes, we should just kill our way up and destroy the Iron Bones Sect directly, no need to play dirty tricks outside.”

“Mister Yang said the Iron Bones Sect is unusual. We should still be cautious.” The leader said seriously.

“Tch.”

“That Mister Yang again.”

The deputy leader’s and everyone’s faces filled with contempt and disdain.

Evil sect martial cultivators emphasized brutal slaughter. What they hated most were people who had to think things through repeatedly before doing anything.

If not for the Hall Master’s great trust in him, how could they endure their violent tempers listening to his deployment before every operation?

“Hehe.”

A member smiled wickedly and said, “Big Brother, I heard the girls in Qingyang Commandery are all very lovely. That Iron Bones Sect must also have plenty of female disciples.”

“Hahaha.”

Another member joked, “Ergouzi, we haven’t even left the mountain gate yet and you’re already thinking about women?”

“Ergouzi just has vigorous firepower. If he doesn’t see a woman for a day, he’s jumping the walls anxiously.”

“In my opinion, if he doesn’t restrain his desires, sooner or later he’ll die at a woman’s hands.”

Everyone joked around.

The member called Ergouzi shouted, “Isn’t there a saying that goes, ‘To die beneath peonies, even as a ghost you’d be romantic’? I just love women, and I’m willing to die at a woman’s hands!”

The leader smiled and said, “It’s been a while since we’ve had any action, so the brothers have been holding back for a long time. Once we confirm the Iron Bones Sect is the culprit, you can vent yourselves properly on their female disciples.”

Ergouzi’s eyes immediately flashed with sinister light.

Other members who loved women were also very much looking forward to it.

Thus, on the way down the mountain, the topic constantly revolved around Qingyang Commandery women and Iron Bones Sect female disciples.

Deciphering every word they said, Li Luoqiu’s soul-stirring beautiful eyes emanated intense killing intent as she said, “You all must die today.”

Jun Changxiao was also watching through the eight-times scope. Though he hadn’t activated enhanced mode and couldn’t eavesdrop on their conversation, from their sleazy smiles he realized they must be saying shameless, vulgar things.

From Li Luoqiu’s tone, he also discerned they were talking about his Iron Bones Sect, so his gaze also became cold and severe as he said, “Let them come down, kill them all.”

The disciples received the order and began mobilizing their spiritual energy.

Li Yuhua and some disciples summoned their Solid Iron Shields and Overlord Spears.

The Drizzle Hall members lurking in the shadows also gripped various hidden weapons in their hands. As soon as this group entered the attack zone, they would show no mercy.

The atmosphere became murderous!

The Hunting Group members coming down from the mountain obviously hadn’t anticipated that people were lying in ambush at their own doorstep.

They still discussed women without restraint. Because the distance was getting closer and closer, unspeakable words drifted down.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Lu Qianqian’s bright eyes turned icy cold as her jade hands began gathering cold energy.

“Hm?”

Just then, the leader seemed to sense something. Looking toward the grass on the right side of the steps, he said coldly, “Someone’s there!”

The members who’d just had sleazy smiles on their faces instantly became serious, all looking over together and locking onto Li Shangtian, who was crouched in the tree trembling.

“Damn it!”

Viper, hiding in the shadows, inwardly collapsed completely and thought, “This is a pig teammate!”
