There is a saying that alcohol emboldens the timid. However, Ye Tian does not drink to gain courage; rather, he drinks to bolster his resolve.
It is not difficult for him to kill this group of outer gate guards, nor is it hard to eliminate the Wang family's Orthodox Guards, or even Wang Tianba himself. However, he is not confident in defeating Wang Weiyang and that mysterious figure.
In this situation, the outcome of failure is clear: death.
After drinking, Ye Tian could not step out. After surveying his surroundings, he chose the room closest to the courtyard wall.
He had no special purpose for this choice; it was simply easier to remember by starting from the beginning.
Gently pushing open the door, a strong smell of alcohol assaulted him. There were ten people in this room, all completely drunk and oblivious, snoring loudly. Some were slumped over the table, while others had fallen directly to the floor, sprawled out in a crude manner.
Ye Tian listened carefully for a moment and confirmed that everyone was in a deep stupor before taking action. Moments later, all ten individuals lay dead in their sleep.
Turning back out, he headed toward the second room.
The situation inside was no different from before: still ten people, still heavily intoxicated, and of course, they too were unaware as their throats were slit.
In less than an hour, Ye Tian had already taken nearly a hundred lives. Now he arrived at the western side room; if nothing unexpected happened, each of these ten rooms should also contain ten people, totaling one hundred.
Ye Tian quietly entered the first room at the end. However, this time was different from before because as soon as he stepped inside, he found someone sitting across from him glaring angrily.
"Whoa..."
Ye Tian inhaled sharply. He was not afraid of being surrounded; rather, he was caught off guard by this sudden change after such smooth progress.
Since he had been discovered, assassination was no longer possible. He could only change his strategy from stealthy killing to an outright massacre.
Ye Tianxin thought of this and wanted to rush forward, but after seeing the person's actions, Ye Tian stopped again, a look of confusion rising on his face. After a moment, Ye Tian couldn't help but smile.
"Even when sleeping, you have to keep your eyes open? Do you really want to die with your eyes wide open?" Ye Tianxin chuckled to herself as she slowly walked forward and ended that person's life.
It turned out that the person's previous action was simply not moving at all. Normally, if an enemy quietly infiltrated at night, a normal person's reaction would be to shout or flee. However, this person just stared wide-eyed at Ye Tian, blinking not once, and there was no light in his eyes. How could this be explained?
There was only one explanation: he was a weirdo who slept without closing his eyes.
In less than a tea's worth of time, Ye Tian had once again dispatched everyone in the room under his dagger. However, as he prepared to leave, he touched the person's eyelids.
He deserved to die because he participated in the Massacre Cold Family operation, but he shouldn't have died with his eyes wide open; after all, he was merely following orders from a different faction.
Afterward, Ye Tian smoothly "cleaned up" two more rooms. When he reached the third room, something unusual happened again.
This room still had ten people in it, but Ye Tian stopped at the door and did not enter because these ten people were surprisingly awake.
Although they were not asleep, they were unaware that the nearby rooms had already become graves. At this moment, they were still whispering to each other. From their conversation, Ye Tian discerned the reason for their wakefulness.
"Lu Liu, how much do you think it would cost for one round?" The speaker's voice was quite lewd.
"I don't know; that girl is an important prisoner." From the voice, it was clear that this person was a big man.
"So what if she's a serious offender? Didn't we have serious offenders before? The price was only fifty copper coins; let's add a bit this time." Another person chimed in.
"Yeah, let's pool our money; each of us can take a turn with her!" The others echoed.
"Exactly! Let's add some; that girl is worth it. Plus, I heard she's that Ye Tian's lover." The Pervert spoke again.
"Stop talking nonsense, aren't you afraid that guy will come for you?" The big man paused and continued, "Besides, they are already betrothed."
"Damn! You look tough but you're just a coward. Haven't you heard? That Ye Tian has already been burned to death!" The Pervert said disdainfully.
"Take it easy, I heard that if a person dies before the seventh day, calling their name can summon them back," the big man said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian trembled all over; none of the people in this room could die because he needed them to suffer without escape.
Suppressing the anger within him, Ye Tian turned to the next room. Fueled by rage, his movements were swift, and soon enough, the remaining rooms were all wiped out.
During this process, there were many small accidents, such as some people who were deep in sleep discovering Ye Tian. There were also a few who hadn't drunk any alcohol and some who got up to relieve themselves. However, these individuals ultimately died under Ye Tian's dagger before they could even scream, as none of them had the ability to react to the sudden advance of Yuqi Tayan Jue.
Many people like to save the best food for last when eating; Ye Tian shared this mindset, so he left the third room for last.
As he approached, Ye Tian did not rush into the room but instead stood at the door and listened carefully.
His intention was not to seek trouble but to determine whether the big man opposed the suggestions of the other Nine People. If he did oppose, he might be spared from death.
"Zhou Old Trick, you're such a coward! Isn't that right everyone?" It was still the Pervert speaking; judging by his tone, he seemed to hold a high position in this room.
"Just a coward!"
"Totally useless!"
After the Pervert asked, everyone chimed in with their mockery. These people might not all be locals from Spirit Martial Town since their insults contained dialects from other regions.
"Quiet down!" After a round of insults, the Pervert calmed everyone's emotions and then said, "Zhou Old Trick, I just want to ask you one thing: do you really want to have that little vixen just once?"
Ye Tian frowned at the words, realizing that the Pervert's language was becoming increasingly vulgar. He knew that there would be a painful price to pay for this.
"You all go ahead; I won't say anything," the man referred to as Zhou Old Trick finally spoke after a moment of silence. His words implied that the others were collaborating with him because they didn't fully trust him.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian's anger slightly subsided as he began to analyze what had just been said.
It was clear from his words that the group wanted to drag him along out of fear that he might spill the beans. This indicated that secretly going to the dungeon was something not permitted by their superiors. However, even though it was forbidden, one could still gain entry through bribery. This suggested that the Wang family did not place much importance on the dungeon, or perhaps the guard was a greedy person neglecting his duties. This information was very useful to Ye Tian, as knowing this could save him considerable effort in rescuing everyone from the dungeon.
While he was deep in thought, the Pervert suddenly raised his voice, his shrill tone grating on the nerves and making one feel nauseous.
"Don't play the good guy! Even if something happens, I'll drag you down with me!"
"Lu Liu, listen to me. There are women everywhere; why do you have to go after her? The Cold Family has already suffered enough; you want to harm them further? That's a bit too inhumane..."
Slap!
Zhou Old Trick's incomplete sentence about "inhumanity" was abruptly interrupted by a sharp slap, followed by Lu Liu's mocking laughter.
"Say another word! You think you have humanity?" At this point, Lu Liu sneered twice before delivering another slap, making it clear that Zhou Old Trick was getting hit again.
"Is humanity useful? I'm asking you! Is humanity useful?!" Lu Liu was extremely arrogant, and the sound of furniture being slammed echoed in the room.
"Not useful... not useful..." Zhou Old Trick couldn't withstand the beating and began to comply submissively.
"Damn it! It's too late! You still want to be a good guy! Say it a hundred times..." Lu Liu paused as if contemplating something. After a moment, he leered and said, "Say it a hundred times: The Cold Family deserves to be exterminated; that little slut deserves it!"
Bang!
As soon as Lu Liu's voice fell, the door burst open with a loud crash, and a chilling aura of killing intent surged into the room like a storm.
"Who..."
Before Lu Liu could finish his sentence, he felt a sharp pain in his throat as a pair of golden eyes suddenly appeared before him.
"Uh... ah..." Lu Liu wanted to speak again, but no sound came out. Someone had tightly grasped his throat, nearly choking him.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. By the time everyone reacted, a cold light had already circled around the round table. As the light dissipated, everyone's throats were slit.
They were seated around the table, and even in death, they maintained that position—not because they didn’t want to move, but because they never had the chance to do so.
Of course, except for that Zhou Old Trick.
"This... this..." Zhou Old Trick trembled like a leaf, shivering in his seat.
"Silence." Ye Tian glanced back at him, his tone very calm.
"Silence... silence..." Zhou Old Trick looked at the slightly thin young man before him in terror. He recognized this person; his name was Ye Tian.
"If you dare to shout, I will kill you immediately," Ye Tian said coldly as he released Lu Liu.
Once freed by Ye Tian, Lu Liu gasped and coughed violently, taking a moment to regain his composure.
"Repeat what you just said," Ye Tian's voice was as cold as ice.
"You... are human... or a ghost..." Lu Liu did not follow Ye Tian's command and instead asked a question in return.
Swish!
A cold light flashed by, and Lu Liu's left ear was severed, followed by Ye Tian gripping his throat once again.
"Say another word and I'll cut off your right ear." Ye Tian released his grip, allowing Lu Liu to speak.
Lu Liu endured the excruciating pain but dared not make a sound, kneeling on the ground and repeatedly bowing his head like a pestle grinding garlic.
"Why aren't you speaking?" Ye Tian casually picked up a wine cup from the table, his expression resembling that of a raccoon playing with a mouse.
"My mouth is just like a butt, Young Master Ye, please show mercy..."
Swish!
The right ear fell again, but this time Ye Tian did not grip his throat, as even in pain, Lu Liu had no courage to scream.
"Hiss..." Lu Liu gasped in pain but managed to hold it back. He then looked at Ye Tian with longing and after much hesitation, he trembled and said, "The Cold Family deserves to be exterminated, that little... girl..."
