My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

"Lord Li, we have prepared a feast to celebrate your victorious return. Please come in."

The group quickly entered the city.

Wang Dalong and his companion were escorted into the city. When the martial arts world saw the two men captured alive, their expressions changed drastically.

"Those are the Wang Dalong brothers. Didn't Li Xuancang kill them?"

"What is Li Xuancang's intention in bringing the two back to the city?"

"Oh no, they're not dead. This is bad."

"..."

Various forces have colluded with Erlong Mountain to varying degrees; they even tipped off Erlong Mountain and cooperated from within and without.

Now that Wang Dalong and his companion have been captured, if Li Xuancang uses torture to extract their confessions, the situation will become even more unfavorable.

Everyone was worried and pondered how to deal with the situation.

Looking at the expressions of these martial arts figures, Li Xuancang sneered inwardly, but made no further moves for the time being.

Sun Shouyi and others slaughtered pigs and sheep to lavishly reward the entire army.

After the toasts and drinks, Li Xuancang asked Sun Shouyi, "Lord Sun, we rescued over a thousand women from Erlong Mountain this time. Their families have been killed by bandits, and they are homeless. We would like to trouble you to take good care of them."

Now that we've rescued these women, let's go all the way and ask Sun Shouyi to make sure they're settled.

"Lord Li is kind and benevolent; I will certainly do my best to help."

This request was insignificant to him; it would both bring him closer to Li Xuancang and enhance his reputation and prestige.

"Thank you, Lord Sun."

Li Xuancang bowed to Sun Shouyi in thanks.

After eating and drinking their fill, Li Xuancang led his troops back to the military camp.

The seized supplies were also taken away, and Sun Shouyi and others never inquired about them, which was the unspoken rule.

Upon returning to the military camp, Li Xuancang instructed: "Spread the word that Wang Dalong and Wang Erlong could not withstand severe torture and have confessed to all their previous crimes, as well as those who colluded with them."

Li Xuancang spared the Wang Dalong brothers for this very reason.

"Yes, ma'am."

As the army and government spread the news widely, the entire county soon learned that the two bandit leaders, Erlong and his brother, had been captured alive.

"Don't let these two beasts die so easily; cut them into a thousand pieces."

"Those two devils are utterly depraved; may they suffer a terrible death."

"Kill them to comfort the souls of the countless people who died tragically."

"..."

The people were outraged and wished they could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.

Upon learning the news, the various factions in the martial arts world were filled with trepidation and could no longer remain silent, so they began to scramble to help each other.

Inside Tianxiang Tower, leaders from various factions gathered together.

"Gentlemen, the Wang brothers have been captured alive by Li Xuancang. They will surely reveal their connection with us. What should we do?"

A sect leader looked flustered and at a loss.

These words caused a moment of silence among the people present, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

Everyone present had some connection to Erlong Mountain; none of them were innocent.

If Li Xuancang has evidence, he will definitely not let them go.

After a moment of silence, Bai Yidao, the leader of the Mad Saber Sect, spoke in a cold voice.

"It is wishful thinking to convict us based on a few testimonies alone."

Even if Li Xuancang has the testimonies of the Wang brothers, they might not accept them and claim that the Wang brothers were just making things up.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they immediately felt much more relaxed.

"What if the Wang brothers themselves identified them?"

Yang Yunhai, the owner of Tianxiang Pavilion, said something like a bucket of cold water being poured over them, making everyone's mood even heavier.

"Then let's go all the way and kill Wang Dalong and his brother, so that there will be no evidence against them."

Bai Yidao's eyes hardened, flashing with a fierce light.

As long as they kill Wang Dalong and his brothers, they can rest easy.

"What Sect Master Bai said is indeed true."

"Master Bai is right."

"That's exactly right. Kill Wang Dalong and the other man to prevent future troubles."

"..."

Without hesitation, everyone agreed with Bai Yidao's suggestion.

Yang Yunhai nodded slightly; this was indeed the best solution.

"With the Wang brothers imprisoned in the military camp, and Li Xuancang personally overseeing the operation, who could possibly kill someone under his nose?"

Although a solution has been found, how to kill Wang Dalong and his brother from Li Xuancang's hands has become a problem facing everyone.

Li Xuancang's strength is beyond doubt; his attempt to assassinate Wang Dalong and his companion would undoubtedly be fraught with peril.

If Li Xuancang captures me, not only will I die, but my sect will also be implicated.

The hall fell silent once more; no one spoke, no one wanted to risk their lives.

The person who goes to assassinate must have sufficient cultivation to infiltrate the military camp and successfully carry out the assassination. It is best if they are at the Gangqi Realm.

Everyone present looked at Bai Yidao, Yang Yunhai, Zheng Gang, and Feng Kaishan.

All four were at the Qi Refining Realm, and it was only through their intervention that they had the opportunity to kill Wang Dalong and his companion, and escape the military camp.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Bai Yidao and his companions remained expressionless, and none of them uttered a word.

If it were before, they would have dared to challenge Li Xuancang.

But now that they know Li Xuancang's strength, they are all filled with fear and dare not make a move.

The Wang brothers, working together, were easily defeated by Li Xuancang. Their chances of success against Li Xuancang are not likely to be any better.

Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, Yang Yunhai spoke up to break the deadlock.

"Although Li Xuancang is strong, we don't need to confront him head-on."

Yang Yunhai looked at Bai Yidao and the other two and shared his thoughts.

"We can send someone to lure Li Xuancang away, and leave one person behind to assassinate Wang Dalong and the other two."

Yang Yunhai could only think of this method: to lure the snake out of its hole and take advantage of its weakness.

Once Li Xuancang leaves the military camp, it would be easy for a Qi Refining Realm expert to assassinate the two men, Wang Dalong, who are currently under control.

"What if Li Xuancang doesn't fall for it?"

Feng Kaishan had some concerns. All of this was contingent on Li Xuancang leaving the military camp. If he didn't leave, the others wouldn't have a chance.

"We can't worry about that now. As long as Brother Wang Dalong lives, Li Xuancang will have the upper hand, and we will all be at his mercy."

Wang Dalong and his brothers must die, otherwise they will be the ones to die.

Even if the military camp is a den of dragons and tigers, they are willing to risk entering it.

Upon hearing this, Feng Kaishan's eyes gradually hardened, and he knew that they had no other choice.

"Then let's go all out!"

The four quickly discussed how to make their move and arranged for some people to provide covert support.

"what!"

Inside the military camp, the screams of Wang Dalong and his brother echoed as they suffered inhuman torture.

"Li Xuancang, kill me, kill me!"

The two suffered terribly, were in unbearable pain, and only wanted to die.

Their cultivation was destroyed, and they were unable to resist.

He was in so much pain that he fainted, but was then woken up by cold water and the torture continued.

"I'll tell you everything."

Under severe torture, the two finally broke down and confessed to all their crimes over the years and their collusion with various forces.
