After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

Xu Qingqing looked at the group of refugees who were shouting for these people to die, holding a dagger in her hand.

"Now I'll give you a chance to take revenge on your own, do you dare?"

The group of people were silent. The middle-aged man who spoke first stepped out of the crowd: "I dare!"

He walked resolutely through the crowd of refugees and stood in front of the tied-up people.

His eyes were fixed on one of them, his breathing became rapid and heavy, and his chest kept rising and falling.

There was a raging fire in his eyes, as if he wanted to burn the murderer in front of him to death.

After a long time, the corners of the man's mouth curled up in a resolute arc.

He took the dagger from Xu Qingqing's hand with his right hand, and stabbed it into the man's body as he kept begging for mercy.

The man wanted to continue, but Xu Qingqing stopped him: "Leave some for others."

The man controlled his anger and stood up with difficulty. Looking at the bleeding people, his eyes flashed with the pleasure of revenge, followed by endless sorrow and heaviness.

As if he was thinking of his dead wife and daughter, there was a hint of despair and grief around him at this moment.

His shoulders trembled slightly, as if he was crying silently.

Seeing someone taking the lead, other refugees who had suffered greatly also rushed forward.

They cried and shouted, constantly venting the pain in their hearts.

As the knife cut through them one by one, those people gradually lost their breath in horror, and there was not a single piece of good flesh left on their bodies.

Blood kept flowing down their bodies to the ground, and for a moment, the surrounding soil turned dark red.

These refugees, who were blinded by killing, were covered in blood.

Blood dripped down their fingers, which trembled slightly.

The other refugees who had been watching them take revenge were now terrified.

Especially some people who had bullied them in the past, now they wished they could bury themselves in the ground so that they could never see them again.

I was afraid that they would get excited and kill me as well.

Xu Qingqing looked at them. There were good and bad people among them, and there were many of them. If they were allowed to wander around, it would definitely be bad for Xiaoyao Sect.

In any case, it's always good to have so many people within his sight.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Qingqing coughed twice.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on her.

"We'll leave right away." The middle-aged man looked at Xu Qingqing and spoke first.

After saying that, he lowered his head, turned around and prepared to leave.

Xu Qingqing glanced at him and asked, "How many of you are there?"

The man paused, and the other refugees opened their eyes wide, with anticipation flashing in their eyes.

The people of Xiaoyao Sect were full of disbelief: "Sect Master!"

The man immediately came to his senses and said, "There are about 800 of us in the group."

After hearing his answer, Xu Qingqing did not reply immediately, but kept scanning them.

Seeing this, the group became nervous again.

After a long while, Xu Qingqing finally spoke: "The women, children, the old, weak, sick and disabled in your team can enter Xiaoyao Sect first, but capable young and strong men cannot enter Xiaoyao Sect and can only move around nearby."

"Yes! We are willing!" someone in the crowd answered immediately.

This was already a very good result. They had invaded Xiaoyao Sect with bad intentions and had thought that they could only wait for death.

Unexpectedly, the people of Xiaoyao Sect are now willing to let them live nearby.

Moreover, although this will separate them from their families, it also means that their families can go to Xiaoyao Sect to receive good care and live a good life.

This is already the result of Xiaoyao Sect's mercy.

"Don't be anxious, I haven't finished yet." Xu Qingqing raised her hand to signal them to be quiet, and continued: "Don't say that I didn't give you a chance. If you want to live with your family in Xiaoyao Sect, you have to accept the test!"

"In the course of one year, you need to abide by our rules and work hard to demonstrate your value and potential. After the probation period, we will have a vote among the sect's internal members to decide whether you should stay or go."

"Only those who receive more than half of the votes in favor can officially join the Xiaoyao Sect and reunite with your family."

"As for those who don't have enough votes, I'm sorry, they will have to stay on the periphery."

"Of course, if anyone is unwilling to accept it, they can leave now." Xu Qingqing raised her hand and pointed to the way down the mountain.

"The opportunity is before you, and the choice is in your hands."

Hearing this, people around looked at each other and talked a lot.

Some people had frowned brows, as if they were thinking about how to spend the one-year probation period; some had firm eyes, as if they had already made up their minds to join the Xiaoyao Sect; and some had a bewildered look on their faces, as if they were still digesting the information Xu Qingqing said.

But overall, no one wants to leave at the moment.

"I have to behave well this year, otherwise I won't be able to see my son again." A young man said worriedly.

"Yes, it will take a long time before we can see each other after I send my wife in," the person next to him echoed.

"However, as long as we get more than half of the votes, we can officially join. This is also an opportunity." Someone tried to cheer himself up.

Some people looked troubled and worried, saying, "If we don't have enough votes, won't we have to stay on the periphery? Then won't we have wasted a year in vain?"

"Hmph, anyone who doesn't want to accept it can leave now!" A hot-tempered man snorted in dissatisfaction.

Xu Qingqing stood quietly aside, observing everyone's reactions.

She knew that this year was also a challenge for these people, but only those who had gone through the test could be allowed to become members of the Xiaoyao Sect with confidence.

Soon, these people made a decision: "We have made up our mind, we want to stay!"

"Very good. Now that you've made the decision, you should say goodbye to your family properly. After all, we won't be able to see each other for a year."

Xu Qingqing looked at the sky and whispered to a patrol member, "Bring them something to eat later."

"Yes," the patrol team members quietly retreated.

About half an hour later, more than two hundred elderly, weak, sick, disabled, women and children walked out of the crowd.

They all looked bad. The children were very thin and weak, not as strong and healthy as the children of Xiaoyao Sect. The adults were also skinny, and some even looked like they were dying.

The children followed behind the adults, sticking their heads out curiously to look at the people having fun.

It was like a little animal carefully observing whether the people in front of them posed a threat to them.

Led by a female leader, they walked towards the people of Xiaoyao Sect and from then on they completely joined the Xiaoyao Sect.

Xu Qingqing frowned as she looked at these people. This was too miserable.
