'It seems that they have left the Valley Town after creating a stir, ' Lanny thought.
He ordered his men to expand the scope of their search to the regions around Valley Town.
But the town was true to its name. In other words, it really was a valley and around it was nothing but continuous high mountains surrounded by dense jungles. It wasn't easy to find a dozen people there.
The second day, news came that the people who had been sent out were dead. A bamboo slip had been stuck in every dead person's body. There was a number on every one of those slips.
The largest number on the bamboo slips was 95.
Apparently, one bamboo slip meant that one person was killed. So within two days, 95 members of the family had been killed. Ninety six if one counted Benson.
Seeing so many cadavers lying around in the ancestral hall of the Li Family, the members were extremely alarmed. It seemed that a shadow of death was covering their family these days.
From that day onwards, not one member of the Family dared to go out alone. Some of those who were yellow-bellied didn't even dare to step out of their houses.
Austin, Mindy, and the others were lying down and resting in the open space of a grove.
The grove was ten miles away from Valley Town and therefore, safe.
Along with Mindy and Austin, there were about a dozen people of the Zhang Family there too. They were all looking pretty excited. For the last several days, each one of them had killed several members of the Li Family. Whereas for the last seven years, they had been forced to suppress their hatred. But now, they had finally gotten a chance to take revenge, releasing all their pent-up hatred.
There were nine men of middle age surrounding Mindy and Austin.
In the past few days, the Li Family's members, whose cultivation base of vital energy was said to be quite powerful and high, had been punched to death by Austin in one go. His fighting capacity was obviously superior to Mindy's.
Seeing how powerful he was, the people of the Zhang Family admired him a lot. Besides, in their eyes, there was no doubt that Austin was going to get married to Mindy. That was to say, he was also going to become a member of the Zhang Family one day. Austin's joining made Zhang Family's prosperity seem just around the corner.
"Mindy, we have killed 95 people of the Zhang Family in the last few days. When will we have a head-on fight with Li Family in daylight?"
One of the men asked.
"There's no hurry. The Family still has hundreds of members at the moment. We should first depopulate them and weaken their fighting will. That way, we will be in a dominant position once we finally attack.
In addition, I believe the whole Li Family is getting into a panic now. I would like them to suffer a bit longer."
Mindy replied calmly.
