Chapter 148: Chapter 140: Chen Yuan, Even the Government Administrative Office Can’t Save You (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
With the addition of these people, the once insurmountable Li family was besieged with screams. Their luxurious pavilions and towers, as the crowd scattered in panic, the lights dispersed, and the fires gradually blazed fiercely.
Inside Mountain Conquest Formation, watching this scene unfold, the Li Family Master was both shocked and enraged. Everything happened too fast, driving him into a frenzied hatred, and he let out a yell.
"Quick, summon Pavilion Master Wan, Fat Monk!"
Yet at this moment, he was unaware that there was no need for him to send for them, as the remaining two divisions of Ninth Mountain Troops had already come knocking on the door.
At the western edge of Tianxiong Pass, miles away from the Eastern City where the Li family resided, stood a towering mountain, hundreds of meters high. It was called Washing Sword Mountain, and halfway up its side, there was an imposing mansion gate made of white jade.
The last rays of the setting sun were about to disappear, with a thread of dark red light falling on the gate’s plaque, where three large characters flashed with a silver sheen.
Washing Sword Pavilion!
It exuded an aura of sharp Sword Qi!
The gaze stretched upwards along the mountain, where in the twilight of the smoky haze, buildings and pavilions nestled among the majestic ridges, and amidst them, cranes cried shrilly, imparting a sense of transcending the mundane world.
But at this moment, shouts echoed in front of the mountain gate of Washing Sword Mountain.
"Who dares to trespass?"
Following this, Sword Qi shrieked through the air, clinking and clanging, followed by several screams.
Afterward, at the mountain gate.
Seven or eight disciples, wearing moon-white robes with a small sword emblem at their cuffs and holding their swords aloft, were seen. Still, their feet kept stepping back, their eyes fearfully fixed on the scene before them.
In front of them, a hundred or so Black-armored cavalry emanated a chilling murderous aura, as if they had stepped out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
At this point, the leading Colonel rode forward, his chilling gaze falling upon the lead disciple, and then he reached behind his waist.
A black-wrapped package was thrown out...
"This is a token of visit from Ninth Mountain’s Colonel!"
"Deliver it to your Pavilion Master!"
The package flew straight into the arms of that Mountain Guarding Disciple in the front.
Ninth Mountain’s Colonel?
Hearing this title, the disciple’s heart skipped a beat, but he still forced himself to catch it calmly.
However, as soon as he held it in his hands, he felt a wet, sticky sensation, and upon looking down...
"Blood."
His hands were soaked in crimson.
His face startled, the package naturally dropped from his hands, and with a rolling sound, a blood-drenched head tumbled out.
Upon seeing this, several Mountain Guarding Disciples paled and cried out in alarm.
"Eldest Senior Brother!"
"Quickly report to the Pavilion Master."
Following that, several of them turned and retreated together, hurrying up the mountain.
Meanwhile, in the forest behind this group of Ninth Mountain Soldiers, the tips of two trees suddenly bent over, and then two figures of different colors appeared.
One in copper armor, with thick eyebrows slightly raised, his eyes bright and piercing; it was Jiange Pass’ Colonel Wu Sheng.
The other, clad in black heavy armor, with eyes like hanging bells and a thick, curled beard, had a burly stature and an imposing demeanor– he was Fourth Mountain’s Colonel Changshan.
Both caught sight of the nearby scene and their eyes flickered, each with their own thoughts.
"It seems that Colonel Chen has long been prepared!"
"Truly decisive, attacking the three families at the same time. He dealt with the Li family first, then had us trap the remaining two families’ Heavenly Pass Experts, not giving these guys the chance to react, then eradicated them one by one!"
"How refreshing!" Changshan’s eyes sparkled,
"Now, let’s see if the fish takes the bait!"
A few minutes later, several Mountain Guarding Disciples rushed up the mountain to report with great haste.
Before long, at a Heavenly Pool beside the peak of Washing Sword Mountain, where the light of dawn reflected against a golden rooftop, a building with four eaves and black lacquered tiles, a turbulent Sword Qi burst into the sky, directly shattering the clouds above, followed by an angry voice.
"It is an outrage, killing my Direct Disciple, humiliating me, Wan Tianming!"
"Colonel of Ninth Mountain, very good,"
"Quickly contact the other two families, put this man’s arrogance to an end!"
Just then, another voice interjected.
"Wait! Brother Tianming, hold your anger for now."
In a large hall decorated in a simple style, a man in a purple robe, with slightly sinister features, emerged from a room in the pavilion.
He strode forward quickly, blocking off Washing Sword Pavilion’s Wan Tianming, who had a brow sharp as a sword and eyes flickering with myriad cold gleams.
"Vice Minister Wu, is this the person you were talking about just now? This man is intolerable." The Pavilion Master’s voice popped out between his teeth.
The man in the purple robe was none other than the Surname Wu who had recently met with Xiahou Yuan.
He flashed an urgent gaze and said,
"Brother Tianming must not act rashly at this time. My acquaintance of Beiliang Prefecture, with powers no lesser than mine, was but ten miles away. Yet this Colonel of Ninth Mountain could lock onto us and display unfathomable Divine Skills. Within just a few exchanges, he killed my friend. Afterward, he was still searching for me; had I not left swiftly, the consequences would have been hard to predict."
As he spoke, his expression turned dreary, but he still suggested, "Thus, my thoughts are, this man must be dispatched by the Government Administrative Office, coming with aggressive intentions, certainly with plans. If you, Brother Tianming, venture out now, you may fall right into his trap."
Pavilion Master Wan Tianming listened, his chest heaving as he stared at him, "Then, according to you, what should be done?"
Vice Minister Wu contemplated, "Activate the Mountain Protection Array, stay put and do not let these ruffle your resolve."
Hearing this, Wan Tianming burst out laughing in anger.
"Mr. Wu, you tell me this now? In joining forces with you, I didn’t expect to be pushed around. The enemy kills my disciple, kicks down my gate, and you suggest I hide?"
"How can I, Wan Tianming, maintain my dignity?"
"Moreover, where is the backup you promised me earlier?"
