Chapter 717: Chapter 717: The Robbers Have Arrived

"Boss, do you really think someone will try to target our Jade Cauldron Kingdom this time? Isn’t that just seeking death?"

At the moment, aboard the flying boat, a Martial Artist from the Jade Cauldron Sect asked one of the generals of the Jade Cauldron Kingdom’s Battle Eagle Squad.

"It’d better be the case! Otherwise, we’d have wasted our effort and won’t even earn a bit of military merit! While our brothers are bravely fighting on the frontline, we ended up with such an assignment!"

Xu Fei felt extremely aggrieved in his heart. As a general of the Battle Eagle Squad, and an outstanding practitioner within the Jade Cauldron Sect, he had now been relegated to being a guard for the Lingxi Commerce Guild.

But he didn’t know that Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division had arranged this with Lin Chen’s own intention in mind.

The value of these supplies was enormous, and once delivered to Yunfei Kingdom, they would become the first batch of resources to kick-start the country’s cultivation resources.

Therefore, Lin Chen believed that the Lingxi Commerce Guild’s army would probably not have a smooth journey to their destination.

Along the way, despite encountering some minor troubles, they were easily repelled by the overwhelming might of the Battle Eagle Squad.

"We can’t let our guard down. This mission was given to us by our lord, and we must complete it impeccably, without fail!"

At the moment, an individual dressed in black stood with arms crossed over their chest, the black cloak hiding their face and adding an aura of mystique.

The Dark Division, the most mysterious force within all of the Jade Cauldron Sect’s powers. Xu Fei knew that every time cultivation resources were distributed, the people from the Dark Division got the most.

However, within the Jade Cauldron Sect, military merit was the currency of influence. Other troops were very unfamiliar with the Dark Division, perceiving it as an omnipotent force. Moreover, their assessment was extremely difficult, and they had the fewest members of all military types.

"Boss, this brother from the Dark Division is right. We all serve our lord, why make any distinctions? Besides, it’s said that you and a few Peak Masters were drinking when you spoke ill of our lord and General Luo..."

A subordinate looked at Xu Fei with an evil smile and teased.

"Bullshit, those were just drunken ramblings of mine, shouldn’t be taken seriously..."

Xu Fei forced a wry smile, cursing his own mouth for spouting nonsense while drunk.

"Brothers of the Dark Division, how come you all wear black robes, with hats covering your faces and noses?"

Xu Fei turned his gaze toward the seven Dark Division Martial Artists nearby and joked, quickly changing the subject.

"Cut the crap, we’re almost there."

Wang Xuan, listening to their conversation, couldn’t help but shake her head.

She had also heard about the matter concerning the lord and Luo Yu, and frankly, she harboured some expectations herself.

If she could be rumored to have a romantic affair with the lord like Luo Yu, Wang Xuan would only be too pleased.

Although Wang Xuan’s figure was tantalizing, her personality was more like a man’s, somewhat bold and unrestrained, and she wasn’t sure if Lin Chen would like her style.

"Alright, stay alert, there’s some abnormality nearby."

The black-cloaked figure with crossed arms suddenly raised a hand, moved beside Wang Xuan and Xu Fei, and began to speak slowly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan and Xu Fei exchanged glances, immediately perking up with interest.

Both were combat enthusiasts, always eager to fight on the frontline for military merit.

They had assumed that escorting the caravan would be utterly boring, but now it seemed there were indeed some fearless folks who seemed keen to add some excitement to their escort journey.

"All brothers, be vigilant, there’s military merit coming our way."

Xu Fei looked at his soldiers of the Battle Eagle Squad and loudly laughed.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Xu Fei’s words, the soldiers of the Battle Eagle Squad instantly became exuberantly excited.

"General Yu Jin, can you discern how many men the enemy has, and the cultivation level of their leader?"

Although Wang Xuan was excited about the appearance of enemies, she was more composed than Xu Fei, and promptly inquired of Yu Jin.

The abilities of the Dark Division Martial Artists were mysterious, and detecting such matters was probably a simple task for them.

"According to the intelligence, there are twenty people, all with Reverting Void Realm cultivation. The strongest among them is at the Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm!"

"And... they are from the former Great Flame Imperial Family, the Zhao Family!"

A chill flashed in Yu Jin’s eyes as he spoke indifferently.

On hearing this, Xu Fei and Wang Xuan both involuntarily narrowed their eyes.

The grievances between the Zhao Family and the Jade Cauldron Sect ran deep, but because of Zhao Lingxi, Lin Chen had always forbidden the army from pursuing the matter deeply.

However, if the Zhao Family knew about their operation, did that imply Zhao Lingxi had betrayed them?

While this was just speculation from Wang Xuan, if it turned out to be true, it could spell a great upheaval for the Jade Cauldron Kingdom.

After all, if even the president of the Lingxi Commerce Guild, Zhao Lingxi, wasn’t loyal to them, wouldn’t the whole guild be thrown into chaos?

The group took Yu Jin’s information without question.

"The Zhao Family, huh? Leave this matter to our Battle Eagle Squad."

Xu Fei, as if afraid others would snatch away their credit, immediately flashed a broad grin.

Before joining the military of the Jade Cauldron Kingdom, Xu Fei had once been a bandit, cherishing a particular sentiment for the life of looting.

At this moment, they weren’t just passively awaiting the Zhao Family’s attack; it was more like they were eagerly anticipating the Zhao family’s "visit."

Wang Xuan and Yu Jin didn’t consider Xu Fei’s words as an exaggeration.

After all, the Battle Eagle Squad had recently undergone special training, where each member was able to break through at least the Third Layer within the High Mountain Flowing Water Sword Formation.

Now, they were not only proficient in their archery technique and the Divine Fire Troop Killing Array, their close-combat capabilities had also significantly improved.

"With prioritizing our forces’ safety, aim to capture the enemies alive, but if the lives of our soldiers are threatened, do not hesitate to kill immediately."

Wang Xuan decisively ordered, readying for battle.
