Chapter 270 Still One Step Too Late

"Don't let them find us," Wang Ba reminded them.

It wasn't that Wang Ba feared them, but he had his own agenda. If he turned against the demonic cult before dealing with Li Jun, it would be much harder to eliminate Li Jun.

By the time the demonic cult disciples arrived at the scene, the two severely injured disciples were already dead. Seeing the corpses before them, they wore expressions of pain, but there was nothing they could do; it was all in plain sight. Even if they wanted to retaliate, the current situation offered no solution. They understood the extent of the trouble they would face. If problems arose in the future, it would be far worse than the present, and potentially dangerous. They began to feel troubled, knowing that future difficulties would not end like this.

"Speak, what do you all mean?"

By this point, they were all at a loss, unsure how to proceed. However, they could still understand the situation. If real danger were to arise, anyone could face greater trouble. Seeing this, they became troubled again, realizing that if problems did occur, they would be the ones to resolve them. Otherwise, trouble could strike at any time.

"Many experts have appeared in Xuri City; we should all be careful."

"Brother Dong, they must have been killed by disciples of Taichu Sect," the man beside him explained.

He wouldn't reveal the truth of the situation before them. However, they still had issues to contend with, and whether trouble would arise later was another matter entirely.

"How can you be sure?" Dong Chenglong inquired.

Without evidence, engaging with Taichu Sect now would not be a wise choice for them. They understood the other party's capabilities, and a single mistake could lead to greater trouble. Seeing this, they became troubled again, realizing that if real danger struck, it might not be up to them to decide the outcome. For now, however, they had to be prepared, no matter the circumstances. If serious trouble arose, the outcome would certainly not be as they wished. They began to feel troubled.

Speaking of which, worry began to set in. If they truly had a problem, it certainly wouldn't be like this.

"Speak, what do you all mean?"

"I..."

An unexpected event occurred. Everyone was left with no choice, as they all understood. If problems arose, it certainly wouldn't be like this.

"Since there's no evidence, how can we deal with them?" Dong Chenglong sighed.

A single mistake could be life-threatening. Even with unyielding hearts, they had no choice at this moment.

"Forget it, let's not mention this matter anymore."

"Yes!" The demonic cult disciples nodded.

They understood the current situation, as no one had expected even Taichu Sect to get involved.

"Alright, take the bodies back."

If an accident happened, no matter when, they would be unable to cope. Everyone understood what was happening before them, and they knew the potential consequences. If serious trouble arose, that would be the truly dangerous part. However, they began to feel troubled, as everyone had their own thoughts. If future dangers arose, it certainly wouldn't be like this.

"Damn it!" He Guanying, hidden in the shadows, cursed loudly upon seeing this.

They all understood the nature of the problem before them; the person who had acted would not have died. But they hadn't expected that by the time the demonic cult disciples arrived, the person would have already died.

"Hmph! It seems we didn't get the chance."

The situation was clear. If trouble arose, no one would know how to handle it. However, it was clear that their plan would not succeed so easily. The other party's situation was completely beyond their expectations. Even He Guanying felt they were too weak. In the past, Taichu Sect had always spoken of how detestable the demonic cult disciples were, but now it seemed entirely different from what they had said. Furthermore, every time they clashed, they could achieve complete victory, or even face greater trouble.

"No! Someone must have been sabotaging us, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."

The astute Song Qiuhe immediately understood the core of the problem. If there weren't so many issues, it certainly wouldn't be like this for them. After all, someone had stepped forward to speak. By the time they realized it, no one would be able to accept it. They began to feel troubled, knowing that if problems arose, someone would still step forward to oppose them. However, no one knew what preparations would be needed for the future.

"Impossible, when we left, no one was following us except them," He Guanying said, confused.

They had clearly checked before making their move against the person before them. Yet now, they were being told someone had followed them, which inevitably aroused suspicion. Moreover, everyone understood what had happened. If serious trouble truly arose, it certainly wouldn't end like this. They began to feel troubled, knowing that if real trouble struck, even greater things would occur.

"Hmph! If only things were that simple." Song Qiuhe scanned his surroundings.

Seeing no discoveries, he led He Guanying away from the scene. However, by the time Wang Ba and the others arrived, the scene was empty, not even a trace remaining.

"Damn it! It seems something has happened."

He had worried about such an unexpected event occurring. Moreover, those demonic cult disciples had just taken away the corpses. It was not difficult to imagine that Song Qiuhe and his group had acted; otherwise, no one else could have been their opponents.

"Master, what should we do?" the disciple asked, puzzled.

For them, no matter what happened, they had to follow Wang Ba's arrangements. Otherwise, if an accident occurred in the future, no one would be able to bear it. After all, they all understood the situation before them, and if some trouble arose, no one would be able to handle it. Therefore, the outcome was evident; they would all face misfortune.

"Damn it! How could such a problem have occurred?" Everyone understood the problem that had occurred. If serious trouble truly arose, it certainly wouldn't be as they had imagined. However, if trouble really did arise, it wouldn't be solely up to them to decide. After all, it was all in plain sight, and this was their greatest trouble.

"Hmph! We can only wait and see how it resolves," Wang Ba said resentfully.
