Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

Shen Ye asked, his tone very calm, almost without any ripples, because according to the development of the plot, Jiuli Village had already betrayed the Gu King and Chi Meng.

"Then... kill him."

Chi Meng did not hesitate at all.

She was the Holy Maiden of the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons, and she understood things more clearly than anyone else.

"Very well, then, kill him."

Shen Ye didn't hesitate at all. He was asking Chi Meng for her opinion. If Chi Meng said she would spare his life, he would definitely agree with her.

However, now that Chi Meng intends to kill the leader of Jiuli Village, then... no one can save him.

……

Chi Meng certainly wouldn't know the way to places far from the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave, but she knew the nearby Miao villages better than anyone else. She could find the places with her eyes closed without needing anyone to guide her.

Refusing the sedan chair bearers arranged by the chief of Qianshan Village, the group quickly arrived at the entrance of Jiuli Village by horse-drawn carriage.

Jiuli Village is a large village with tens of thousands of people. Backed by the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, many people naturally know Chi Meng. However, since most people do not know how their village chief made his choice, many villagers still respect Chi Meng. When they saw Chi Meng and her party coming, they politely welcomed them into the village.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment, the chieftain will be here shortly."

They were then greeted by a Miao girl in her teens. It seemed to be her first time meeting the Holy Maiden of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave. The Miao girl was very reserved and, after speaking, lowered her head and walked out.

"Actually, I was thinking that if Jiuli Village was just pretending to submit to the Witch King, I might spare his life."

Seeing the Miao girl whose eyes had been darting away since she first saw them, Chi Meng's heart sank. Despite her earlier resolute words, she still felt some pity for her fellow Miao people.

No one wants to be ruthless towards their own kind.

"No destruction, no construction. If your subordinates are disobedient, they need to be disciplined. Killing a few people is nothing."

The one who said this was Miao Chengtian. Having served the Empress of Qi for so many years, she was naturally no pushover. She usually fawned over Shen Ye to win his favor because it was her duty as a servant, but when things really got tough, she was just as ruthless.

The Miao Holy Maiden nodded. Of course she understood this principle, but just like when she learned that the Witch King and her father had a conflict, her first thought was to mediate the conflict. But now it seemed that the conflict could not be resolved and bloodshed was necessary.

"I don't know what benefits the Witch King promised him, so why would he betray my father?"

But when it came to actually taking action, the Miao saintess was still a little uneasy, muttering to herself.

"Probably, an opportunity to rise in rank," Shen Ye said, shaking his head.

In the original drama, after the failed sneak attack, the chief of Jiuli Village resolutely committed suicide, as if he were being controlled. However, apart from the God of War's Strange Altar, it seems that there is no way in Miao territory to control the chief of a large village. Even with Gu magic, in fact, the chief of a large village would know Gu magic. At least based on his strength, the chief of Jiuli Village was at least at the Middle Heaven level, only one level below the Witch King who was at the Great Heaven level. He was not at the point where a single word could decide life or death.

However, it must be said that the leader of Jiuli Village betrayed the enemy decisively and committed suicide just as decisively, so he can be considered a remarkable figure.

……

The Miao girl's announcement took a long time, and no one was left to receive them. The people who stayed in the reception hall of Jiuli Village didn't even get to drink tea.

Fortunately, Sister Ying Gou was also a gluttonous "girl," and she took out a lot of food from her ever-present backpack. The group began to eat, chat, and wait for... danger to strike.

"Come on, have some."

The older sister pulled out a bag of osmanthus cakes from her backpack and showed it to everyone like a treasure. After almost everyone had taken a piece, she ignored Shen Ye and stuffed the last two pieces of osmanthus cakes from the bag into her own mouth.

Upon seeing this, the people around seemed to forget that they were in the perilous Jiuli Village, and they all burst into laughter.

"Are you still holding a grudge?"

Shen Ye reluctantly withdrew his outstretched right hand, looking at his older sister with an amused expression.

Although her older sister is "small," she is definitely a girl who knows how to enjoy life. A few days ago, she was exhausted from traveling on the rugged mountain road. Seeing that she was in so much pain, Shen Ye asked the plump Shi Yao to hold her and act as a cushion for her to make her more comfortable.

After being held by Shi Yao for several days, the girl grew to like the feeling. Even when she went to Qianshan Village, she still wanted to sleep with Shi Yao at night, saying that she felt at ease sleeping with Shi Yao in her arms.

But Shen Ye would never agree to that. He could tolerate it when they were traveling, treating her like a "delicate" little girl, but he couldn't accept it if she acted like that at night.

After all, Shi Yao was his exclusive "pillow" at night. Although it was only Shi Yao's turn every few days, it just wasn't okay.

As a result, the girlish older sister started to quarrel with him and gave Shen Ye a cold shoulder every day.

The older sister chewed the osmanthus cake in her mouth with great effort, swallowed it with a lot of struggle, and then rolled her eyes at Shen Ye: "Hmph!"

Of course, this eye roll might just be a choking remark, since osmanthus cake is indeed very dry.

"Brother Shen, have this piece." Lu Linxuan, who was standing next to him, offered Shen Ye a piece of osmanthus cake that he had already taken a bite of.

Shen Ye took a small bite, smiled and nodded, saying, "My Xuan'er is so much better, unlike some people who are so stingy."

He then looked at his older sister with a smile, but she responded with a big eye roll.

Well, it seems my succubus-like constitution doesn't work on the "little girl."

He chewed the osmanthus cake in his mouth with some confusion, then suddenly looked up at the outside of the reception room and swallowed the cake.

"Master, they've arrived."

Hou Qing also looked outside. Although there was no one there, he still spoke to Chi Meng.

"What a generous gesture! It seems that all the top experts from Jiuli Village have come." Shi Yao gently bit into the osmanthus cake in her hand, but she couldn't taste much of the flavor. She had just wanted to feed Shen Ye like Lu Linxuan had, but she was too late. She was quite annoyed that she hadn't received any praise from her young master.

Chi Meng's skill level was not as high as Hou Qing's and Shi Yao's, but she still sensed the faint killing intent, and the last bit of hope in her heart dissipated.

However, she still said, "Big brother, can we just capture them and not kill them?"

“Of course.” Shen Ye nodded, then added, “However, you are the Holy Maiden of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave. You cannot be soft-hearted towards traitors. If you don’t kill a few to make an example of them, how can you deter the other Miao villages?”

Chi Meng knew that Shen Ye was right, so she stopped talking and simply sat in the main seat of the reception room, slowly closing her eyes.

At this moment, a tall figure walked in from outside the hall. It was the chieftain of Jiuli Village. Behind him, dozens of experts dressed in Miao costumes filed in, holding various weapons and coldly looking at everyone in the hall.

However, although they could be considered experts, their judgment was not very good. In their opinion, there were only a few minor Celestial Realm experts in the hall. Although they were strong, they were not invincible.

"Brother Shen, shall we do it?"

Hou Qing didn't expect his master to take action. In his opinion, Chi Meng, who was at the Lesser Heaven level, could handle a few small fry, but the Jiuli Village chief, who had clearly reached the Middle Heaven level, and the few Lesser Heaven level experts beside him were still far from being able to fight.

Moreover, an apprentice might even get their master to do something to them.

"I'll do it."

Shen Ye's eyes were fixed on the chieftain of Jiuli Village, but his aura had already spread out, covering all living things within a hundred meters. He could sense that besides the people of Jiuli Village, there were many other eyes watching this place.

The owner of these eyes was obviously not from Jiuli Village; they were probably spies from other villages, likely trying to find out what Chi Meng would do.

Shen Ye even sensed a familiar aura, as if he had encountered it back in Qianshan Village.

So he made up his mind. Since so many people were watching, he would take swift and decisive action to kill the leader of Jiuli Village, making those opportunists think carefully about what would happen if they wavered.

"Well."

Hou Qing was naturally more than happy to help Shen Ye. Although dealing with these people in front of him was not a difficult task for him, he really wanted to know how strong the person was, whom even the Bad Commander had repeatedly told him not to be his enemy before he left.

“Your Highness, although I don’t know where you found your helpers, they still can’t help you. So, please come with me to the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons, and perhaps I can let them go.”

When the chieftain of Jiuli Village entered, he immediately noticed that there were two Grand Heaven Realm experts in the hall. However, he remained calm. Behind his back, he held a gourd similar in style to the one at Chi Meng's waist. As long as he used the Gu control technique when he made his move, the Gu worms in the gourd could help him entangle the two Grand Heaven Realm experts. Therefore, he spoke with great confidence when facing Chi Meng.

Chi Meng ignored him completely and looked at Shen Ye instead.

She remembered that when she came, Shen Ye said that if Jiuli Village was going to take action, then she should not say anything, because it would be pointless and a waste of breath.

Seeing that the Miao holy maiden remained silent, the chieftain of Jiuli Village frowned slightly. Then, his mouth began to open and close gently, clearly reciting the incantation to activate the Gu worms.

However, just as he was halfway through reciting the poem and the gourd in his hand began to tremble, Shen Ye made a move.

Shen Ye gently raised his hand, and the broken sword in Lu Linxuan's hand rang out and appeared in his hand. Then he simply swung it forward, a very simple action, and then... Chi Meng turned her head away, unable to bear to look at the dozens of pillars of blood shooting into the sky.

……

Chapter 455! The Melodious Flute Melody

(I've made up for the 2,000 words from yesterday; there will be another chapter later.)

……

For Shen Ye, killing a mid-level expert, several minor-level experts, and dozens of star-level experts with a single sword strike was nothing special, just as simple as killing a hundred members of the Xuanming Sect with a single sword strike that night in Yuzhou.

But this scene was too terrifying to be seen by the spies from the other Miao villages hiding around. It felt easier than stepping on a bunch of ants. At least when you step on ants, there are always a few that escape. But now, not only are there dozens of big heads on the ground, but even the large forest outside the hall has been shrunk by half.

Faintly, a series of gasps could be heard coming from the surrounding shadows.

Inside the hall, the Corpse Ancestor and the Miao Saintess, who were seeing Shen Ye make a move for the first time, had eyes full of wonder. Chi Meng, in particular, couldn't hide her admiration and kept muttering things like her father was saved.

Hou Qing had already opened his umbrella when Shen Ye drew his sword to kill someone. He cultivated the Blood Weeping Record, a powerful but flawed technique. Although it could keep his body in its best condition and prevent him from aging, it could not be stained with blood. That's why he always carried an umbrella with him, not only as a weapon but also to prevent blood from splashing on him.

"What a dashing sword strike, truly masterful."

Shaking the blood off the umbrella, Hou Qing looked at the dozens of corpses lying on the ground, and a longing arose in his heart again; he wanted to learn swordsmanship again.

However, he also knew that he was cultivating the Blood Weeping Manual. If he were to truly learn swordsmanship, he would basically have to exchange his blood every time he fought, which would be incredibly troublesome.

Shen Ye ignored Hou Qing. He figured that even if he didn't use his sword, but switched to the Ranger class and performed a gun dance, Hou Qing would probably shout "you have class" even louder. After all, the Ranger was one of the most dashing classes in his mind.

Of course, you can't use a pistol now, so you can't show off.

After glancing at his elder sister, who was blindfolded and seemed too afraid to witness the horrific scene, and then at the Miao saintess with a pained expression, Shen Ye finally turned his gaze to the outside of the hall.

Outside the hall, the spies from the other Miao villages had already retreated, and the surroundings were so quiet that even the chirping of insects could be heard. He grinned, knowing that those opportunists would not, and dared not, harbor any rebellious thoughts against Chi Meng anytime soon.

However, even if he rebels again in the future, it doesn't matter. He will leave sooner or later anyway, and Chi Meng will leave with him sooner or later. So everything he is doing now is just to vent his anger on Chi Meng.

"Let's go, next stop, Gui City."
