Qian Yue originally had some doubt on his face, but after looking at Xie Qi twice, he finally nodded.
He and Xie Qi were from the same hometown and were acquaintances. They grew up together and naturally knew that Xie Qi's talent for cultivation was so poor that it was impossible for him to break through the Spiritual Sea Stage in his lifetime.
However, when he met Xie Qi not long ago, he suddenly discovered that the other party had unexpectedly broken through to the early stage of Linghai period. This cultivation speed was not much slower than his own.
Afterwards, Xie Qi replaced the previously deceased third in command and became the new third in command of Mangxiong Village.
After becoming the third in command, Xie Qi secretly told him that he was an outer member of a mysterious organization, and that the purpose of coming here was to provoke war and killing, and they wanted to pull him into joining the organization.
After some encouragement from Xie Qi, he finally made up his mind and began to implement various plans with his fellow villager.
"Second Brother Qian, in the next period of time, we must hurry up and kidnap more traveling merchants.
We can distribute some of the spiritual stones to people from other villages, so that we can attract more people to join us.
Compared to the spiritual stones we lose, as long as we can successfully complete the tasks assigned by the organization, the benefits we get will only be greater, so don't be reluctant to give up.
As long as we can arouse the public indignation of everyone, someone will definitely come to attack our stronghold. By that time, we will gather together all the other strongholds that we have won over before, and we will definitely be able to create a big war. What the organization needs are the lives of a large number of spiritual talisman masters and martial talisman masters.
Hehe, once we meet the organization's requirements, I think my strength will be further improved by the organization, and the same goes for you, Brother Qian. Entering the late Linghai stage, or even the Lingdan stage will not be a problem anymore."
Hearing Xie Qi's words, Qian Yue also showed a greedy smile on his face. After all, for a talisman master, improving his realm is the first priority.
Now if someone could directly help them improve their realm, how many people could resist this temptation
The two chatted about a lot of things while drinking. Ye Li, who was lying outside, heard everything in shock.
It was not until this moment that he realized that there were more than just Li Xifeng and his fellow hostages abducted in the mountain stronghold. There were also a dozen other traveling merchants.
Ye Li was full of doubts at this time. He didn't know what organization Xie Qi was talking about, and the other party's purpose was to start a war.
After hearing from Xie Qi that this mysterious organization needed the lives of a large number of spiritual talisman masters and martial talisman masters, Ye Li really couldn't understand the reason.
Just as he was confused, Qian Yue asked, "Third brother, what should we do if those merchants, for the sake of the hostages, hold back their anger and choose not to attack us?"
Hearing Qian Yue's words, Xie Qi smiled sinisterly, with a cruel look in his eyes, and said, "Isn't this easy? Just find some excuses to chop up the hostages in our hands and send some back to them. I don't believe anyone can bear it."
His words were like a thunderclap exploding in Ye Li's ears, and a surge of burning blood suddenly surged on Ye Li's originally calm face.
Xie Qi's inhumane answer made the rage in his heart surge to his head.
Ye Li grew up in a noble family. Although he had heard of many cruel people, he had never seen one with his own eyes.
Now suddenly such a person appears in front of him and constantly challenges the kindness in his nature. How can he endure it
Ye Liyan's face, hidden under the red mask, was already red enough to bleed. He suddenly felt that he had to kill the two people in the room.
If these two were allowed to continue living in this world, who knows how many innocent people would die because of their desire for power.
Having made up his mind, Ye Li gritted his teeth, temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart, then sat in the corner and thought for a while.
If he wanted to kill the two people in the room, he would definitely expose himself, because he simply could not kill two masters of the same level silently.
Once he exposed himself, if he was unwilling to escape and could not end the battle in a short time, he would most likely be recognized by Xie Qi.
At that time, Xie Qi would just order some of his men to threaten him with the lives of Li Xifeng and others. He would have no way to fight anymore because he was afraid of the consequences.
In order to avoid this situation, Ye Li decided to knock out all the bandits outside the stronghold first, then rescue the hostages, and finally deal with Qian Yue and Xie Qi.
After investigating during the day, he knew that there were about 150 people in the village, and about 100 of them were just martial arts masters.
The rest of the people, except for the three heads, were only talisman masters below the Spirit Sea stage, and posed almost no threat to him.
Of course, not all the people in these mountain strongholds deserve to die, and Ye Li does not need to kill them all. He only needs to knock out the three bosses' men and make them lose their combat effectiveness.
To achieve this, Ye Li didn't even need to use any talismans. With his current strength comparable to that of a demon beast in the middle stage of the Spirit Mist period, he was just right for this kind of sneak attack.
Having made up his mind, Ye Li looked around and found that the patrolling guards were not nearby, so he returned to the outskirts of the village along the same route.
This time, Ye Li did not plan to completely avoid the guards, but instead planned to take them out one by one in groups.
The patrolling guards here are in groups of three, so their number is not that large. As long as Ye Li acts faster, he should be able to knock down all three of them quickly.
However, the first thing he had to deal with was not the patrolling guards, but the other sentry towers located on the edge of the mountain village.
Soon, Ye Li climbed up the watchtower with his agility, knocked out all the guards on it, and supported himself in place with wood.
After slipping down from the watchtower, Ye Li began to move along the front of the stronghold and deal with the teams of patrolling guards on the periphery.
Fortunately, the night was gradually deepening and most people had fallen asleep. The year-round safe environment also made the guards less alert.
Relying on his extraordinary speed advantage, Ye Li attacked almost all the guards on the periphery from behind, making them lose consciousness.
Then he eliminated the secret sentries one by one. What surprised him was that most of the guards among these secret sentries were sleeping and were not paying attention to the surrounding situation at all.
It seems that although the defenses here are well deployed, the year-round safe environment has numbed the guards' vigilance, and the night sentries have basically become decorations.
Relying on his powerful abilities, Ye Li quickly knocked down all the secret sentries and guards in the front of the mountain stronghold. Then he sneaked into small buildings and knocked out all the sleeping people inside.
