Chapter 1666 1666: The Instigator Fearless

"Family? What do you mean?" Sanguine Thousand Miles asked, momentarily taken aback.

"As far as I know, the Quan Zhen Sect is not just made up of these people", Water Drip Stone Piercing said, squinting. "I've heard that the blacksmith named Iron Bull has a wife who runs a grocery store in Twilight City..."

At this point, Water Drip Stone Piercing looked around at the others and continued, "Someone who frequently runs a shop must not be that strong, so if we target his wife, do you think he would just stand by idly?"

"Well... that doesn't seem right", Sanguine Thousand Miles said, feeling a bit troubled. "We shouldn't involve family in our troubles."

"Exactly, exactly", the others chimed in, agreeing. "If we really do that, isn't it a bit excessive?"

One must admit that while this group of Sanguine Thousand Miles had ambition and means, and did not adhere to rules, they still had certain moral boundaries.

"Excessive?" To everyone's surprise, Water Drip Stone Piercing scoffed at Sanguine Thousand Miles' words. "This is a game, alright? We're just trying to force the Quan Zhen Sect members out; it's not like we will actually lose a piece of flesh in reality."

"This..."

Sanguine Thousand Miles still hesitated.

"Hmph!" Water Drip Stone Piercing, clearly a temperamental girl, was displeased by Sanguine Thousand Miles' indecision. "I've already proposed a method. If you don't want to go through with it, you can just sit here and wait. I can't guarantee when they will come out."

The few of them hesitated, but with Water Drip Stone Piercing's words, they were left speechless.

Compared to waiting here indefinitely, Water Drip Stone Piercing's logic was not without merit.

"Alright! We'll do it your way."

After much contemplation, Sanguine Thousand Miles finally made up his mind with a bite of his teeth.

...

Meanwhile, inside the Blood-Soaked Church, the Quan Zhen Sect members were sitting on the floor of the cathedral hall, gathered around a campfire watching Fearless roast meat.

Under the heat of the flames, the meat in Fearless's hands sizzled and oozed oil, and the aroma wafted through the air, making everyone unable to resist swallowing.

"Give it to me, give it to me!" Ming Du shouted, impatiently trying to grab the meat.

"Smack!"

Fearless swatted Ming Du's hand away and then respectfully handed the meat to Wang Yu.

"Wow? I'm the first!" Wang Yu was a bit surprised. Given Fearless's character, he would usually eat the first piece himself. Why was he showing such nobility this time by giving the first piece to me?

"Eat up!" Fearless smiled as he handed the meat to Wang Yu, his expression resembling that of a devoted wife.

With Fearless being so enthusiastic, Wang Yu no longer doubted him and began to enjoy the roasted meat, commenting, Fearlesss cooking skills are getting better and better."

"Not at all! As long as Brother Bull is satisfied!" Fearless said, acting quite obsequiously.

"What the heck! Today's Fearless seems a bit unusual", the other members of the Quan Zhen Sect noticed how Fearless, who usually had the audacity to do anything, was so submissive in front of Wang Yu.

"Could it be that he did something to betray Brother Bull?" Vainglory pondered, stroking his chin.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Boson hurriedly covered Vainglory's mouth.

It's fine to eat recklessly, but one shouldn't speak recklessly... especially not in front of Wang Yu, as that could be deadly.

Then, Boson changed the subject, asking, "How much longer do we have to wait here?"

"We just wait slowly!" Fearless replied leisurely as he placed another piece of meat on the fire. "Sanguine Thousand Miles and his gang are well-prepared; they are definitely holding back to block us. Who knows, they might be outside right now. While they are outside starving, we are inside enjoying our barbecue—how delightful!"

"But this can't go on forever", Spring Halo interjected. "Are we just supposed to keep waiting like this?"

"That's not necessary..." Fearless said with a smile. "Sanguine Thousand Miles is different from Sanguine Warflag. This guy can't tolerate others; he won't be able to achieve anything big. If we don't go out, he will definitely suspect that someone from the Sanguine Alliance tipped us off. Who do you think he will suspect?"

"Sanguine Stormbringer?" Spring Halo asked after some thought.

Sanguine Thousand Miles was quite arrogant, and he certainly wouldn't discuss matters with ordinary players from the Sanguine Alliance. The players who could have a discussion with Sanguine Thousand Miles would definitely be the former core players of the Sanguine Alliance, and the one he would suspect the most would be Sanguine Stormbringer.

"Exactly!" Fearless flipped the meat over in his hands and continued, "Once Sanguine Thousand Miles suspects Sanguine Stormbringer, the Sanguine Alliance will definitely fall into chaos. We can just sit here eating meat and drinking wine while watching them fight among themselves. Why not enjoy the show?"

"Hiss..."

Upon hearing Fearless's words, Spring Halo couldn't help but take a sharp breath.

Fearless's tactic of sitting back and watching was truly insidious and ruthless.

Indeed, Sanguine Stormbringer was a smart person. With Sanguine Warflag absent, the former core members of the Sanguine Alliance would definitely center around Sanguine Stormbringer. As long as Sanguine Thousand Miles suspected Sanguine Stormbringer, he would inevitably offend the old core members of the Sanguine Alliance... By then, the high-ups of the Sanguine Alliance would become divided, and the lower-level players would definitely be unable to take orders.

This was completely killing without showing one's hand.

"Now Sanguine Thousand Miles is also unable to command the Sanguine Alliance... What's the point of doing this rationally?"

"Hehe!" Fearless chuckled. "Not listening doesn't mean he can't be commanded! The players of the Sanguine Alliance simply don't want to follow Sanguine Thousand Miles' orders. If Sanguine Thousand Miles has a good relationship with those old brothers from the Sanguine Warflag, these people will certainly not stand by and watch while Sanguine Thousand Miles gets killed."

"Gets killed?" Wang Yu looked puzzled. "Are we going to fight back?"

"Indeed!" Fearless said casually. "I have everything about these guys under control. They will soon bring trouble upon themselves..."

"Bring trouble?"

Wang Yu still looked confused, as did the other members of the Quan Zhen Sect, not understanding what kind of powerful figures in Twilight City could cause trouble for someone like Sanguine Thousand Miles.

Fearless refused to reveal any hints.

After a while, Spring Halo's face suddenly changed, first glancing at Wang Yu and then pointing at Fearless in shock. "You... you will eventually play yourself to death."

"What does that have to do with me!" Fearless said unhappily. "Sanguine Thousand Miles is not following my commands; this is the path they chose for themselves... I'm just giving them a little push."

"??? What does that mean???"

With Spring Halo's words, Wang Yu also felt uncertain, as if he realized something, and asked.

Spring Halo said, "Sanguine Thousand Miles is blocking us here; is he going to keep waiting like this??"

"Of course not", Wang Yu shook his head.

"If it were you, how would you lure us out?" Spring Halo asked again.

"I wouldn't give him that opportunity!" Wang Yu replied, looking smug, which made Spring Halo roll his eyes.

At this moment, Ming Du interjected, "If it were me, I would definitely kill a few players from the Sanguine Alliance to vent my anger and force them to come out."
