The cold wind and rain immediately made Feng Guanxiang speechless with anger. However, there was no way to dispute it. The Liao Jian Mountain Village was still within the territory of the Diliang Kingdom.
"General Feng Guanxiang, are you really going to do this?" Cold Windxiang said in a cold voice. At this moment, his face had turned as pale as iron. If it were to deal with those people in the, then he could make the decision himself, but when it came to dealing with the imperial army, he was not the one who could make the decision.
"Humph, you have one minute to evacuate everyone. Otherwise, you don't have to leave." Feng Guanxiang scanned the people around the mountain with lightning-like eyes. There were no shortage of experts among them, but he did not take them seriously. In single combat, perhaps no one in his army was an opponent, but in battle, the army was the stronger force. No matter how powerful the martial artists were, they could not withstand the powerful bows and crossbows and the military formation of the army.
When Feng Guanxiang said this, not only did the people of Liao Jian Mountain Village who heard it become furious, but even those in the who had had conflicts with the people of Liao Jian Mountain Village also changed their expressions. No one had expected that the imperial army would be so tough.
Cold Aotian heard clearly from the summit and knew that he had to step in.
"Lu Tian, you stay here and search for that thing as soon as possible." Cold Aotian commanded. At this moment, only his eldest son, Cold Luotian, could preside over here.
"Yes, Father." Cold Luotian also knew that the situation was urgent and immediately urged the people of Liao Jian Mountain Village to speed up.
Below the mountain, it was already on the verge of conflict. The thousands of elite soldiers brought by Feng Guanxiang had already set up a military formation. The dense long spears, the drawn strong bows and crossbows, made the people in the very nervous.
"General Feng Guanxiang, what do you mean?" Cold Luotian landed from the summit, his face was as pale as iron. Previously, Liao Jian Mountain Village and the imperial court had been like water and fire, but now they were coming at each other like this, if Liao Jian Mountain Village withdrew from this mountain today, it would no longer be able to survive in the.
"Cold Aotian, you're here just in time. This place has been taken over by our army. You must leave immediately or else we'll have a military confrontation." Feng Guanxiang did not give him any respect. Others might have been wary of Liao Jian Mountain Village, but he wouldn't. As a veteran who had fought for decades, Feng Guanxiang knew the strength of his elite troops and also knew that this was not a case where he could afford to make a mistake. The natural phenomenon was a national matter, and he could not be negligent in the slightest.
"Ha ha, so funny. This place is my Liao Jian Mountain Village territory. General Feng Guanxiang can't just say take over and take over. Are your laws all nonsense?"
Less than a hundred years since the founding of Diliang Kingdom, Liao Jian Mountain Village had already been passed down for hundreds of years. Previously, the original land deeds of each school and each faction by the Diliang Kingdom were also recognized. Cold Aotian knew that openly going against the imperial court was not possible, but he couldn't just let them say whatever they wanted and do whatever they wanted.
"Humph, I don't care what you have to rely on. Now I declare that this place is taken over by our army. This is an order. If you're not afraid of death, then try it. Come and fight with me, Cold Aotian." Cold Aotian shouted at those in the.
Those in the who were still fighting with each other at that moment all looked at each other.
"Lord of the Estate, I won't entertain your company." Suddenly, Feng Miao Yu, the scholar with the talent of beauty, bowed and flew away, as if fleeing from this no-man's land. Cold Ao Tian's face immediately turned pale. Now, what he feared most was that all these people would have fled, leaving him alone at Liao Jian Villa. This would be a big problem. If everyone were here, even if Feng Mao Yu really attacked, they could at least ease their pressure. Moreover, if the imperial court wanted to investigate later, they might not be able to do much to Liao Jian Villa. After all, the people here were not all alone.
However, when Feng Mao Yu acted like this, Cold Ao Tian began to hesitate about the consequences.
Sure enough, when Feng Mao Yu left openly like this, no one else would stay here as a target for the military. The dark archers were not jealous at all. Immediately, all the people in front of Cold Ao Tian scattered, but many were standing far away, watching from a distance. This made Cold Ao Tian feel completely helpless. These people were clearly trying to take advantage.
"Lord of the Villa, what should we do?" Cold Fengruo asked urgently. Now, there were only the people of Liao Jian Villa left here, but they couldn't withstand the thousands of troops of the military.
Cold Ao Tian bit his teeth tightly, his eyes almost bursting with fire.
"Retreat." Finally, before the military troops pressed forward, Cold Ao Tian finally uttered a single word. But from his eyes, anyone could tell the overwhelming rage. This retreat would completely ruin the reputation of Liao Jian Villa.
Cold Fengruo was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was the best choice. If they really engaged with the military, they would only face annihilation. Even if Liao Jian Villa was very powerful, it would definitely not be able to compete with an army backed by a country.
"Retreat." Cold Fengruo shouted in a harsh voice, his voice full of resentment.
The people searching on the summit of the peak, hearing this retreat order, also froze. This retreat meant that this place would be taken over by the military. In this case, even if there were any treasures here, they would definitely not be given to Liao Jian Villa.
"Everyone listen to the order, return to the villa immediately." Cold Ao Tian had regained his composure, although his face was still very unpleasant, it was much better than before. Then he gave the order.
Feng Peak was in the center of the army, watching as the people of Liao Jian Villa withdrew completely. He also breathed a sigh of relief. If they really engaged in battle, with his troops, he might not be able to hold out until the arrival of the reinforcements. Now that Liao Jian Villa retreated, it was the best option.
Suddenly, Feng Peak felt a chill, and immediately noticed that Cold Ao Tian was staring at him coldly. That look was like looking at a dead person, without the slightest warmth. Even Feng Peak, who had experienced countless battles, couldn't help but feel choked.
Under the ground, the old man and Iron Stiff led Fu Tianyu finally emerged from the winding and narrow tunnel.
With the night pearl in the old man's hand, they discovered that beneath them was actually an underground river, with clear and transparent water flowing slowly in an unknown direction.
"Master, take a rest. This disciple is so dirty. Should I wash him?" The iron-faced man placed Fu Tianyu on the riverbank of the underground river. At that moment, his clothes and hands were already covered in dirt, and he quickly took them off to wash.
While Fu Tianyu was like being wrapped in black soil, dirty and confused.
"Then take a rest. Your disciple will wake up soon. Let him handle it by himself," The old man looked around the underground river and was extremely vigilant.
If that tunnel was really made by some kind of reptilian monster, then that monster would most likely be hiding here.
Soon, Fu Tianyu woke up. However, as soon as he moved, a pungent smell rushed into his nostrils.
"Damn it, what smell." Fu Tianyu jumped up immediately and realized that his body was sticky.
"Ah, what is this thing? Old man, what did you do to me?" Fu Tianyu looked at the old man with fiery eyes. Now he remembered why he had fainted. It was actually due to pain. And now he found his body was so dirty. Immediately, he shifted the blame onto the old man.
The iron-faced man had just put on dry clothes when he saw Fu Tianyu's black-and-tiny appearance. He immediately laughed and was overjoyed. Even with a little dirt on him, he had been washing him for so long. Fu Tianyu was all over the place. How could he wash it all?
"Fu Tianyu, if you dare call me old man again, I'll tear you apart. You're so disrespectful. You got my crystal pearl and accepted its inheritance. Now you've been cleansed by the Yi Jing. The dirt on your body is what your body is eliminating. How dare you blame me! Do you have no conscience at all?" The old man was very dissatisfied. When he met Fu Tianyu, he had never gained any advantage. He was extremely disadvantaged. Now, it was like he had gained an advantage and was acting meekly.
Fu Tianyu thought for a moment and remembered that it seemed to be like this. But now he was in so much pain, where was the point of talking nonsense to the old man? With a splash, he jumped into the underground river and started scrubbing vigorously.
The iron-faced man looked at the originally clear underground river in amazement. In a short while, it turned pitch-black. Fortunately, he had already washed it.
The old man was still looking around because he had a feeling that it seemed that he and others were being watched by something. But he hadn't found the place where the watching was happening yet.
Fu Tianyu was enjoying the refreshing water here. It was like an enjoyment. Suddenly, Fu Tianyu felt that his feet seemed to be caught by something.
"Water ghost?" Fu Tianyu suddenly recalled all the strange things his grandpa told him when he was a child. He immediately shuddered and wanted to quickly get up, but the grip on his feet was getting tighter.
"Ah, Master and Senior Brother, help me! There's a water ghost!" Fu Tianyu was extremely frightened. Although he had been possessed by a ghost king, he had at least been controlled. Now encountering something else, how could he not be afraid?
The iron-faced man was stunned for a moment and immediately jumped down, grabbed Fu Tianyu and pulled him up. The iron-faced man was extremely strong and had no problem holding a person.
After they got to the shore, Fu Tianyu immediately looked at his right foot. There was a clear mark of a strangulation there.
The old man came over and looked at the mark on Fu Tianyu's foot with a solemn expression, lost in thought.
"Master, what did this thing do to it?" Fu Tianyu was filled with fear. The feeling just now was truly terrifying. If it weren't for the iron-faced man pulling him up, he might have sunk to the bottom of the river. Fu Tianyu couldn't help but think of the legend of being pulled behind by a water ghost. He shivered again.
