Chapter 387: Chapter 388 Traces of the Knife Maniac

...

Defense Area 14!

Within the entire area, all the soldiers were disheartened.

"Three days have passed, and there’s still no news of Commander Ye!"

"Alas, could Commander Ye have met with some misfortune?"

Just then, a young soldier whispered cautiously, "My cousin is in the Xuanwu Legion; I heard Commander Ye has been taken to the execution ground and beheaded!"

"What, Commander Ye is dead?" All the soldiers in the defense area wore expressions of sorrow, and some even fainted.

At that moment, a piercing scream shattered the calm, "Brothers, General Fang has returned, and he’s brought back a lot of people!"

What?

General Fang has come back!

All the soldiers of Defense Area 14 could hardly believe it and went forward to welcome them.

Looking ahead, they saw a crowd of people with Fang Wu standing humbly in front of a young man in white.

"That, that seems to be Commander Ye!" exclaimed a sharp-eyed soldier.

"No, it can’t be. Wasn’t Commander Ye executed?"

As the distance closed, Ye Wudao approached the more than two thousand soldiers, smiling, "Brothers, I’m back!"

"It really is Commander Ye!"

"Commander Ye isn’t dead; he’s safely returned!"

In an instant, there was a roar of cheers and jubilation among the soldiers of Defense Area 14!

"I didn’t expect the young master to be so popular!" remarked a veteran from the Northern King’s Palace.

"Nonsense, where doesn’t our young master receive a warm welcome?" retorted another veteran.

"Commander Ye, can you tell us what exactly happened during these days?"

"Yeah, we’re all very curious!" several soldiers from Defense Area 14 asked with interest.

Ye Wudao gave a slight smile, glancing at Fang Wu who stood beside him.

Fang Wu nodded, walked to the center of the crowd, cleared his throat, "Brothers, I have something to tell you, please be quiet!"

The entire place fell silent immediately.

"The Vice-Commander Zhou, who arrested Commander Ye without authorization, has been executed!" declared Fang Wu.

Whoa!

The crowd was stirred as if a boulder had been dropped into the sea!

"What, Vice-Commander Zhou is dead?"

"That can’t be!"

"Why not? Otherwise, how could young master Ye and General Fang have returned safely?" some chose to believe.

After a pause, Fang Wu continued, "Now, I have another piece of significant news to tell you! Commander Ye’s true identity is the son of the Northern King, the Young Master of the Northern King’s Palace!"

Boom!

The whole place was astounded!

"Holy shit, Commander Ye is actually the rumored son of the Northern King, the Young Master of the Northern King’s Palace!"

"If Zhou Tie dared to mess with Commander Ye, wasn’t that just seeking death!"

Pausing again, Fang Wu went on, "The Queen of Northern Liang has decreed that the Northern King’s Palace shall hold a status equivalent to the four great legions and will not be under Northern Liang’s command! The young master has returned this time because he couldn’t bear to leave all the brothers from Defense Area 14!"

"I knew young master Ye wouldn’t abandon us!"

"So moving!" Many soldiers had tears in their eyes and wiped them away.

Just then, dozens of army-green trucks rolled in majestically, lining up in front of Defense Area 14.

"It’s the Xuanwu Legion’s military supply trucks!"

"Why are there so many trucks?" many soldiers looked puzzled.

A senior logistics officer hurried over respectfully, "Reporting to young master Ye, twenty thousand pieces of weapons and equipment have been delivered, please sign for them!"

Ye Wudao was surprised, Ling Wei had actually sent ten thousand more than promised!

It looked like he could not escape this favor!

Ye Wudao smiled slightly and picked up the pen to sign his name on the document.

"Young master Ye, what’s in these military supply trucks?" asked a curious soldier.

Ye Wudao smiled and said, "Fang Wu, open them up and show the brothers!"

"Brothers, open up the truck beds!" Fang Wu signaled, and dozens of supply trucks opened simultaneously, revealing armor, blades, and boots—all the necessary equipment, twenty thousand pieces glinting coldly in the sunlight.

"Holy shit, look at all those weapons!"

"Are these Xuanwu Legion’s best weapons? I’ve dreamed of owning them!"

"Compared to the scrap metal we usually use, they’re worlds apart!" all the soldiers were stunned.

Ye Wudao smiled and said, "Those willing to join the Northern King’s Palace, each man may take a set of equipment!"

Almost no one hesitated, all the warriors raised their hands at once, "I am willing!"

"Young Master Ye doesn’t abandon us, so we mustn’t let down Young Master Ye’s kindness!"

"Joining the Northern King’s Hall is our honor!"

In a very short time, more than two thousand warriors from the 14th Defense Zone had all received the latest equipment!

Liu Kuangsheng laughed, "Brothers of the Northern King’s Hall, greet the newcomers!"

"Brothers, welcome to the Northern King’s Hall!"

"We are all family now!" the veterans of the Northern King’s Hall said with a smile.

Soon, three thousand veterans of the Northern King’s Hall and two thousand newcomers mingled as one, creating an exceptionally harmonious atmosphere.

"Assemble!" Ye Wudao ordered.

Quickly, five thousand warriors of the Northern King’s Hall gathered together, their military appearance neat and their aura stern and menacing!

"Uncle Liu, from now on, you will instruct the warriors of the Northern King’s Hall!" Ye Fan instructed.

"Yes!" Liu Kuangsheng nodded.

Ye Wudao surveyed the crowd and said, "My goal is simple, to forge the Northern King’s Hall into the strongest legion in Northern Liang, and even the world. Brothers, do you have confidence?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!" Five thousand warriors of the Northern King’s Hall, their faces full of excitement, roared with voices like thunder, shattering the heavens.

...

Time flashed by, and half a month later.

In that half-month, the Northern King’s Hall had been undergoing devilish training, and nearly every warrior’s strength had greatly increased.

In the office.

Ye Wudao was practicing calligraphy, holding a brush in his hand, his characters were like dragons and snakes, full of strength and deep power.

Just then, a hurried knock on the door sounded.

Ye Wudao put down the brush and said indifferently, "Come in!"

"Young Master!" Lei Hu and others came in.

"Eh, Lei Hu, Xiong Fei, why have you all come?" Ye Wudao was very curious.

"Young Master, our warriors found this broken sword while training outside the domain. Many warriors were injured by the terrible sword qi on the blade just by accidentally touching it!" Lei Hu said, taking out a sword wrapped in black cloth and slowly unwrapping it.

It was a black sword, cast from dark iron, entirely black, giving off a heavy and ancient feel. Although broken into two pieces, it was still extremely sharp, flickering with a chilling gleam.

Ye Wudao reached out to hold the black sword, and in that instant, a terrifying sword qi erupted.

Spurt!

Ye Wudao’s hand was actually cut by the sword qi, and blood flowed out!

"Good heavens, Young Master, you’re injured?"

"Are you alright?" everyone asked with concern.

Ye Wudao shook his head, shock written all over his face; "This divine sword is too sharp. Its sword qi remains year-round, it’s hard to imagine how strong its former owner must have been!"

"Eh, what are you lads doing here, interrupting the Young Master instead of training?" Just then, Liu Kuangsheng’s stern voice came.

"Lord Liu!" Everyone bowed their heads.

"Uncle Liu, you’ve arrived at a good time. We’ve found a mysterious sword here, extremely sharp. Please take a look for us," Ye Wudao said with a smile.

"Heh, if even the Young Master thinks it’s a treasured sword, it must be extraordinary!" Liu Kuangsheng said, walking over with a laugh. He glanced casually at the black sword, his pupils suddenly narrowed, and his face filled with shock; "This, this sword is Ye You, the weapon of the Sword Madman!"

Boom!

Everyone was astonished!

"What, it is the legendary weapon of Sword Madman?"

"No wonder it is so sharp!" Lei Hu and others were shocked.

Liu Kuangsheng’s eyes filled with tears of excitement; "Sword Madman, you’re still alive, that’s great!"

It was well known to all that in the entire Northern King’s Hall, Sword Madman and Knife Madman had the best relationship!

Liu Kuangsheng gently picked up the black sword as if it were an old friend he had known for many years.

Suddenly, with a ’crack,’ the black sword broke into two pieces.

"Good heavens, how did this sword break?"

"Isn’t this supposed to be a divine sword?" Lei Hu and others were stunned.

Liu Kuangsheng looked at the broken sword before him, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he trembled; "This is bad, Sword Madman is in trouble!!"

"What?" Ye Wudao was startled; "Uncle Liu, what happened?"

"This sword is the ancestral treasure of the Sword Madman. The Sword Madman has no other hobbies in this life, the only thing he cherishes more than life itself is this sword, he even sleeps with it. Now that Ye You is broken, the Sword Madman must be in dire straits!" Liu Kuangsheng said with a worried face.

"Lei Hu, where did you find this sword?" Ye Wudao quickly asked.

"Young Master, it was in Dragon Burial Valley, outside of our domain. Not far from us, approximately two hundred miles!" Lei Hu quickly replied.

"Not far, Uncle Liu, let’s go now!" Ye Wudao said.

"Yes!" Liu Kuangsheng nodded heavily.
