Chapter 279: 167: Suo Lun kills Ji Gang, annihilates Turing Duo!

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Countless fire rockets instantly struck the walls and rooftops of Huangquan Ancient City.

It was as if a rain of fire descended from the sky.

Most of the city was constructed from stone and mud, but there was also wood, such as the eaves of many houses.

Thus, they were quickly set ablaze by the rockets.

The samurai of the Silver Wolf Legion inside were shocked.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

No sooner had the first volley of arrows ended than a second wave came shooting crazily.

Due to the previous upheaval, nearly all the remaining members of the Silver Wolf Legion had gathered in the drill ground in front of the Yan Nai’er Building.

This location was over six hundred meters from the outside army, so few arrows could directly reach them.

But seeing fire rockets shooting from all directions like raindrops, and a great fire already blazing outside, the situation became extremely urgent.

The elite Silver Wolf Legion was normally calm, decisive, and sharp, but that was because they had a master. Whether it was Yan Yan or Miss Yan Shuang, this army could follow orders unfazed even if the mountains crumbled around them.

But now, having lost their master, the army suddenly became disorganized and restless. They didn’t know that Yan Yan had come back to life and thought that Miss Yan Shuang was about to die as well.

"We’re going to die anyway. Follow me and charge out to fight the enemy forces outside to the death," Gu Yin suddenly drew his greatsword and roared loudly.

Instantly, the Silver Wolf samurai responded in kind, for they were not afraid of dying. Under this atmosphere of despair, better to seek death than to wait for it.

"Stop," Tu An shouted, "Without the commander’s order, who dares to charge out?"

Gu Yin said, "The commander is surely doomed now, and so are we. Killing one is breaking even, killing two is a profit. If you’re afraid to die, you don’t have to go."

Then, Gu Yin waved his greatsword and charged out.

The remaining Silver Wolf Legion samurai, also brandishing their weapons, feverishly followed suit.

Because they had lost their master, the entire Silver Wolf Legion couldn’t find anyone else to obey. At this moment, Gu Yin, who was ready to face death, stepped forward, and instinctively, everyone followed him.

For this army did not fear death, they had an unending supply of blood.

Instead, the calm-minded Tu An was less favored, but if he had not known that Yan Yan had been resurrected and that Miss Yan Nai’er could also be saved by Suo Lun, he, Tu An, would have likely been the first to charge out to die gloriously for the Silver Wolf Legion’s honor.

However, charging out at this moment meant certain death.

Just then, the doors of the building swung open, and Yan Yan’s towering figure appeared before everyone.

"A bunch of trash!"

The first thing Yan Yan said upon reviving and seeing his Silver Wolf Legion was a cold rebuke.

At his appearance, everyone on the scene fell dead silent, utterly disbelieving their eyes.

Wasn’t the commander already dead? How had he come back to life?

Outside, fierce flames continued to burn and countless fire rockets fell like raindrops.

But inside the drill ground, it was as silent as death.

"Come back!" Yan Yan ordered.

Instantly, all the Silver Wolf Legion samurai turned and came back.

"Sit down."

Instantly, everyone neatly sat down, hundreds of men as one.

The Silver Wolf Legion with and without their master seemed like two different armies.

Even though Yan Yan had been lying in a coffin for nearly two years, his presence alone instantly generated a massive force field and authority.

Every cell, inside and out, of all the Silver Wolf Legion samurai was filled with obedience and zeal.

Everyone’s hearts were filled with immense excitement and joy, welcoming back the resurrection of the Wolf King, but without an order, no one could speak.

Yan Yan ignored the fire rockets outside and pointed to Suo Lun behind him, "This man, his name is Suo Lun."

All eyes turned towards Suo Lun, the most despised and denounced profligate son they knew, the one who had heartlessly abandoned Miss Yan Nai’er.

Everyone wanted to curse loudly or even step forward with their knives and swords. But without Yan Yan’s command, they remained seated, motionless, not even able to speak.

"My life was saved by Suo Lun," Yan Yan said. "He traveled thousands of miles, ventured into dangerous territories, found the second Dragon Mark relic, and eliminated the undead that festered within my body, allowing me to be resurrected."

At these words, the samurai of the Silver Wolf Legion were astounded. It was this wastrel who had saved their commander, Yan Yan?

Yan Yan continued, "It was also this same Suo Lun who saved your mistress, Yan Shuang. She is now as healthy as ever."

At these words, the Silver Wolf samurai grew even more excited.

Miss Yan Shuang was also healed? That was wonderful news.

"Gu Yin, tell me, why did you try to lead people to kill Suo Lun just now?" Yan Yan asked.

Gu Yin replied, "Reporting to the commander, it was to save Miss Yan Shuang."

Yan Yan asked, "Was it Turing Duo who suggested using Suo Lun’s head in exchange for the antidote?"

"Yes," Gu Yin replied.

Yan Yan said, "So Turing Duo is the culprit responsible for poisoning Yan Shuang, an enemy of the Silver Wolf. And this Liu Chen, isn’t he Turing Duo’s brother?"

"Yes..." Gu Yin said with a tremble in his voice.

Yan Yan said, "If so, why would you follow the orders of a chief culprit? And even lead troops in mutiny on your own accord? Tell me, even if both Yan Shuang and I were gone, who should the Silver Wolf Legion obey?"

Gu Yin replied, "The first thousand-man commander, Lord Tu An."

"Did you listen, then?" Yan Yan asked. "You did not. Instead, you caused chaos among the ranks, and you nearly pushed Tu An to his death. What was your intention?"
