Common people cannot witness the true splendor of goddesses like Bi Yan'Er and Lark, who possess exquisite Immortal Techniques, nor can they glimpse the true form of the Divine Dragon Pagoda; only Shi Feiyang, the one with supreme bloodline, can behold it.
Therefore, Wu Zhong and others unanimously asked Shi Feiyang what exactly had happened.
With a smile, Shi Feiyang explained, "Perhaps it's because we frequently battle the enemy bandits at Snow Eagle Castle, causing our internal and external martial arts to make Snow Eagle Castle dangerously unstable. Now, you must leave here immediately and return to Jiangnan. Purchase property secretly in Suzhou and wait for my return. I will stay behind and follow the dark code of our Heroic Sakura Association to find you in Jianghu. Remember, take good care of Wu Wei, she is vital to us."
"As you command!" Wu Zhong, Liu Dayou, and Xiao Lingling responded respectfully, just as they were about to leave. Liu Guihua, however, ran eagerly to Shi Feiyang's side and urgently said, "No! I can't leave! Feiyang, I am willing to live and die with you."
Shi Feiyang resolutely refused, "No! You need to return to Jiangnan first. If you stay, my situation will only become more dangerous. Rest assured, I will neither be fickle nor will my heart be swayed by other women. In this life, my affections are deep for you alone! You have Wu Wei as a hostage; even if you encounter the villains of Snow Eagle Castle, you can safely pass with this hostage. Leave quickly!"
Liu Guihua, hearing these words, smiled contentedly, and returned to the side of Wu Zhong and Liu Dayou. At that moment, Wu Chi and Heertu led the band of villains from Snow Eagle Castle, shouting loudly as they swarmed in, clearly having invited another skilled martial artist.
Faced with thousands of enemies, including those charging on horseback, Liu Dayou anxiously said, "There's nowhere to escape; we must fight to the death!" Wu Zhong also expressed solemnly, "Death, it is. What's to fear?" Despite saying so, as a father, he was reluctant to face death, but today's circumstances left him with no choice.
Xiao Lingling also cried silently, truly afraid of dying here and never seeing her less-than-one-year-old son again.
Liu Guihua hurriedly ran to Shi Feiyang again, her voice trembling as she asked, "Feiyang, what should we do? I don't want to die; we've only been married for one day. Are we going to die like this?" Shi Feiyang laughed heartily, heroically saying, "Haven't you already dug the tunnel? Quickly return to Snow Eagle Castle, all of you enter the tunnel and cover it more with iron plates to avoid the collapse when Snow Eagle Castle is shaken later."
After saying this, he pushed Liu Guihua towards Liu Dayou.
Liu Dayou was overjoyed and repeatedly agreed, "Exactly! Exactly!"
Wu Zhong and his wife cried tears of joy, immediately turning and rushing towards Snow Eagle Castle.
Shi Feiyang drew his saber from its sheath.
Liu Guihua still wanted to say more and ran to Shi Feiyang again.
Shi Feiyang scolded angrily, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll divorce you. I don't want you to become my burden; quickly return to Snow Eagle Castle!" Helplessly, he had to harshly admonish Liu Guihua. Upon hearing this, Liu Guihua felt a wave of sadness and tears fell suddenly, but thinking of Shi Feiyang's words as being reasonable, she turned with Liu Dayou and ran towards Snow Eagle Castle.
In no time, the bandit cavalry of Snow Eagle Castle rapidly surrounded, forming inner and outer three layers of encirclement around Shi Feiyang and Snow Eagle Castle.
They gathered around a burly man, about forty years old, looking imposing.
Wu Chi reined in his horse, pointed at this man, and introduced to Shi Feiyang, "Shi Feiyang, you cannot escape death today. This person I invited is the world-renowned Snowfield Tiger King Gong Yao'en. He is not only an Elder of the Divine Water Palace but also the Sect Leader of the Liaodong Thunderbolt Sect."
Revealing such attitude indicated that the invitee was an extremely high martial figure, and if Shi Feiyang did not surrender, it would be a dead-end.
Gong Yao'en wore a cold smile, gazing contemptuously at Shi Feiyang, his eyes filled with disdain.
However, Gong Yao'en indeed possessed great strength; his mountain-like towering physique, exceeding average height, broad shoulders, and strong arms all testified to his formidable power.
His gaze was cold and sharp, seeming to pierce through everything, making one dare not meet his eyes directly. His mere presence exuded formidable pressure, causing involuntary fear in others. His voice was deep and resonant, like a whisper from the Netherworld, sending shivers down the spine.
But upon hearing Wu Chi's words, Shi Feiyang burst into laughter and instead pointed his saber at Gong Yao'en, mockingly saying, "No matter who you are, if you dare challenge me, you will end up a broken corpse."
Slightly underestimating the enemy in strategy, but not daring to slack in tactics, in a flash, the records of the Thunderbolt Sect's Divine Technique in the Book of Ultimate Mysteries appeared in Shi Feiyang's mind. He knew well that the Thunderbolt Sect had a unique skill called "A String of Whips," a profound hard technique. When fully mastered, practitioners would make bone-joint sounds like firecrackers, appearing as thunder in battle.
Without engagement, Shi Feiyang's earlier taunt made Gong Yao'en burn with anger, raising his hand to directly point at Shi Feiyang, furiously scolding, "Ignorant child, dare you babble before me? Courting death, are you? Humph!"
Then, he leaped off his horse, striding forward, seemingly ready to make a move.
However, Shi Feiyang still laughed aloud, cleverly countering, "Your name is Gong Yao'en? What relation have you to Gong Ci'en and Gong Si Meng?" Gong Yao'en was taken aback, not expecting Shi Feiyang to know his brother Gong Ci'en and niece Gong Si Meng's names. He momentarily mistook Shi Feiyang as a Jianghu acquaintance of Gong Ci'en or having a romantic entanglement with Gong Si Meng.
Given Gong Si Meng's otherworldly beauty, every man of the Liaodong Martial Arts sought her favor.
And Shi Feiyang, with his handsome appearance and spirited nature, was rumored to be highly skilled in martial arts, even defeating several martial experts invited by Snow Eagle Castle with ease. Therefore, if Shi Feiyang won Gong Si Meng's heart, it wouldn't be surprising.
Not knowing the specifics, Wu Chi worried that Shi Feiyang's questioning might cause Gong Yao'en to spare him, thus ordering his underling bandits to attack Shi Feiyang and assault Snow Eagle Castle. With Liaodong Tiger King's superb martial prowess as support, Snow Eagle Castle bandits naturally felt emboldened. Upon hearing Wu Chi's orders, they wielded swords, spears, halberds, hammers, axes, sticks, whips, and so on, shouting as they launched their attack on Shi Feiyang.
Crowds surged, passing Gong Yao'en, making a beeline for Shi Feiyang.
Gong Yao'en was quite displeased with this, casting a sidelong glare at Wu Chi. Wu Chi was unfazed, inwardly thinking: You old thing, why glare at me? Humph, bringing you here cost a hefty sum.
Amidst the thick encirclement of enemies, Shi Feiyang showed no hint of fear, but rather bravely wielded his saber, charging into the enemy's encirclement. His right hand skillfully utilized the killer technique "Heaven and Earth Longevity" from the Hundred Victories Saber Technique while his left hand invoked the finisher move "Dragon Roar Nine Heavens" from the Divine Dragon Claw. His saber techniques seemed divinely assisted; wherever the saber light reached, enemies fell, splattering blood on the spot, with continuous cries of pain resounding incessantly.
