It was only then that she realized that only by killing the village chief could she obtain the power of the underworld.
Li Yun was furious and immediately ordered the killings: "Kill everyone in the village!"
Upon hearing this, the more than one thousand people from Taoyuan Village she brought stared at her in astonishment.
Some people countered her, "They're just harmless old people and children, why kill them?"
"Exactly, isn't this a terrible thing? I just can't bring myself to do it."
"Yes, we followed you to level up, but now that you're the village chief of White Snake Village, we haven't leveled up at all!"
The people of Taoyuan Village followed her because they wanted to level up, but now that they've discovered she hasn't kept her promises, everyone is complaining.
Li Yun suddenly sneered, "Disobey orders, kill."
Before she finished speaking, she rushed out with lightning speed, killing the first few people who had spoken.
The people of Taoyuan Village were shocked and furious, never expecting her to kill someone outright.
They wanted to fight back or escape, but then they realized a serious problem.
Li Yun is of the Mighty level, her five companions are all of the Tall and Sturdy level, and there are more than a hundred bandits at the village entrance, who seem to be her gang as well.
In this situation, although there were more than a thousand people in Taoyuan Village, most of them were strong and could not defeat these people at all.
Left with no other choice, they were forced to massacre the entire village of White Snake, including the elderly, women, and children.
Li Yun watched coldly, a smile gradually spreading across her face. "Once you're on my ship, you have no say in the matter."
She killed people to obtain a large number of magical artifacts and food, which she then gave to the bandits outside.
This was the agreed-upon payment; otherwise, they wouldn't have helped her annex the village.
After this incident, Li Yun and Wang Baihong led the people of Taoyuan Village and the bandits away from Baishe Village and headed to Wohu Village.
Crouching Tiger Village is only a little over two hours away from White Snake Village. They rushed over and successfully killed the village chief using the same method as before.
This time, Li Yun was the village chief of White Snake Village. She successfully annexed Crouching Tiger Village and obtained a large amount of Netherworld power.
She didn't reward the people of Peach Blossom Village, but instead took out a small portion of the Netherworld Power and divided it equally among the five men who followed her. One of them successfully advanced to the Mighty level.
This was a sunny and handsome young man. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Li. Without you, I definitely wouldn't have been able to reach the Mighty level."
Someone nearby chimed in, "If we had followed that guy surnamed Xia, we would never have obtained so much Netherworld Power."
Li Yun raised her chin slightly, looking somewhat smug, when she suddenly thought of Qiu Ziren.
"If Ziren knew that we had obtained so much Netherworld power, I wonder if he would regret not coming along."
"He's too old-fashioned; he'll be eliminated by the times sooner or later."
"Don't pity him. Who told him to be willing to be someone's dog?"
As the group was talking, Wang Baihong suddenly came over.
"I just received news that they have taken Luoxia Village and are on their way here. It should take them another three or four hours."
Li Yun frowned. "How could it be so fast? Did your plan fail?"
Wang Baihong shook his head. "My plan was very successful. The people of Luoxia Village blocked the village entrance, and everyone thought they were going to massacre the village. But a man surnamed Xia went in, killed the village chief among thousands of people, and then left safely."
The scene suddenly fell silent.
They knew Xia Tianqiong was capable, but they didn't expect her to be this capable.
Li Yun said, "We've come this far, we have to give it a try. If we can kill him, you'll avenge your brother, and we'll get a huge amount of Netherworld Power."
Xia Tianqiong annexed four villages, bringing his total population to over 20,000. If these people were to be demoted by one level, how much Netherworld power would that require!
Thinking about this, Li Yun couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Wang Baihong nodded. "Proceed according to the original plan."
...
The mountain road was rugged, and the group of more than 10,000 people could only walk in pairs, which made them very long.
Xia Tianqiong was in the middle of the group. As they walked, many pebbles and logs suddenly rolled down from the forest on both sides.
Many people were injured immediately.
Following the rubble and logs, thousands of people charged down. They didn't attack other places, but specifically targeted Xia Tianqiong's location.
Among these people were many bandits.
Upon approaching Xia Tianqiong, he immediately unleashed his trickery.
In an instant, more than a dozen strange spells came crashing down, a truly spectacular sight.
Xia Tianqiong raised an eyebrow, raised his hand and flung out the Sky-Reaching Rope, instantly flying into the sky and dodging those tricks.
However, while his body was still rising, six or seven more people flew out of the forest. They either possessed flying magic or had flying artifacts.
These people seemed to have been prepared, flying in from all directions to block all of Xia Tianqiong's escape routes.
