"Alright, then it's settled."
The middle-aged man slapped the table. "Kill Blood Butcher first, then attack the city."
"Good!"
Huang Liulang raised his cup. "Brother, come have a taste. This fine wine brewed from the blood of virgin boys and girls has quite a unique flavor."
"I'll pass."
The middle-aged man refused. "I'm a Lay Buddhist Disciple, after all. I won't touch something so bloody..."
"Brother!"
Huang Liulang cut him off and leaned close to whisper in his ear, "This wine can extend your lifespan."
"Oh?"
The middle-aged man raised his brows and lifted the cup, taking a light sip.
Chen Sanshi silently withdrew from the pavilion.
With his current cultivation, dealing with one Fourth Realm cultivator was manageable. If there were more, he was afraid he would find it difficult to take them down.
Besides, there was a Mountain Protecting Formation here, so he had no way to deploy the Three Tribulations Yuan-Slaying Formation.
To be safe, it was best to seek another opportunity.
With that thought, Chen Sanshi found a chance to leave the mountain and return to Blood Slaughter City, where he began considering his next move.
The best method, naturally, was to lure Huang Liulang out.
He did not even need to lure him.
That bastard was preparing to ambush True Lord Blood Butcher. Chen Sanshi could simply play the mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole waiting behind.
When the time came, victory amid the chaos might be much easier to seize.
Thinking this, Chen Sanshi prepared to gather more information about True Lord Blood Butcher's strength so he could make foolproof preparations.
He went to the largest True Lord Temple in the city and entered the main hall alongside the worshippers.
Inside the hall, a clay deity statue stood tall upon its lofty dais.
