Chapter 998: Chapter 12: The Mystery of the Great War_3 Chapter 998: Chapter 12: The Mystery of the Great War_3 “The situation is different, and the two cannot be equated,”
Seventh Brother shook his head, looking lancholic, “But unfortunately, we still need them… The recent incident with the Cloud Piercing Arrow corroborates the existence of the Ghostly Soul Snake, which also suggests that Peng Wanli might be lurking in the shadows. As for how to resolve this, we still have no decision…”
“Once I show up, it’s easy, but if I’m recognized… if the enemy confirms my strength, I’m afraid it will trigger a powerful backlash from the upper echelons of Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace. If people like Dong Canglan, Dong Pingjiang and their ilk join the battle… regardless of whether Peng Wanli is there or not, we would have a hard ti coping…”
He shook his head and then sighed softly, “Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, the number one great sect in the world, truly lives up to its reputation with deep foundations.”
The man in black and with a masked face remained silent.
Thinking to himself, we’ve known about the might of Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace for a while now.
But you big shots just have to make a move, leaving us folks below with no choice but to follow, right?
…
Elsewhere, as the great battle ceased, everyone in Cloud Palace radically changed their attitude towards Feng Yin.
Apart from Dong Tiesong who was consistently indifferent, Jiang Changhai now found Feng Yin extrely agreeable.
“Not bad at all!”
He vigorously patted Feng Yin’s shoulder, “Young man, good job! Good job!”
Feng Yin could only force a smile.
This opportunistic attitude is a bit too much, isn’t it?
Before, you rolled your eyes seeing , but after witnessing my combat power, you imdiately ca up to pat my shoulder. Is everyone from Absolute Sword Devil Palace like this?
And so were the others.
“Not bad, young fellow, really not bad.”
“You really don’t kill people?”
“Why don’t you kill? Wouldn’t it be better to just finish them off with a single stroke?”
“That’s the enemy, don’t be so pedantic.”
“…”
It wasn’t just praise and admiration; they even began to preach earnestly, with heartfelt persuasion.
“You can’t be so rciful as a person; an enemy is an enemy, an enemy cos to kill us… How can you be so soft-hearted?”
“Exactly… your thinking is flawed…”
Feng Yin was overwheld and could only keep making pleas with a pained expression.
“I really can’t bring myself to do it… that’s a living life, a life like you and … stop talking… if you continue, aren’t you going to kill everyone anyway?”
“It’s nothing.”
Just then, a savior appeared.
A master of Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace sighed, “Enough persuasion, I understand this feeling.”
“What feeling?”
“Let’s say, so people like eating at, but have never killed pigs, cattle, or sheep in their entire life… they like eating chicken and fish, but would never kill them themselves. It’s okay to cook them if soone else kills them, but to do it personally, they can’t manage it.”
“There are so many people like this in the world. So… to each their own, stop trying to persuade.”
(Cough, I am such a person.)
Then everyone nodded.
Showed deep understanding.
Soone even remarked, “Co to think of it, I’m the sa. I can be ruthless against enemies, slaughtering people without rcy, but when it cos to killing a chicken, I always feel reluctant to wield the knife.”
“A surge of compassion…”
“That makes sense.”
And then the conversation shifted…
“Where did those snakes co from? Whose are they?”
Soone asked this question.
Instantly, everyone looked at each other, perplexed.
“They’re not mine.”
“Nor are they mine.”
“…”
The denial from everyone made the topic lively.
Could these snakes have fallen from the sky?
Dong Xiaoyan said, “Oh, why are you asking? It’s so annoying to dig into things we don’t want to talk about… As long as they’re on our side, isn’t that enough?”
With that said, everyone suddenly ‘oh’ed with a aningful expression.
Then they turned to look at Feng Yin.
Soone even stroked his beard and laughed, “Hahaha… not bad, not bad, very cunning… but I like it, hahaha…”
“I like it, too.”
“I like it even more.”
“…”
Feng Yin heaved a sigh, “Actually, I didn’t plan to reveal it, because the little snakes are still just hatchlings, not capable of handling risks.”
As he spoke, he flipped his wrist, and a little snake appeared in his palm.
About as thick as a chopstick, it coiled in his hand.
Anyone could see it was just a newly hatched young snake.
“So that’s how it is.”
Everyone showed understanding.
Dong Xiaoyan was startled and said with puckered lips, “Why did you reveal it yourself…”
Feng Yin sighed and looked at her with a helpless expression.
“This foolish guy exposed himself and now he’s even blaming himself.”
Everyone burst into laughter.
As they continued on their way, their speed, on the contrary, slowed down.
So much so that it was infuriatingly slow.
“Why are we going so slow?”
Feng Yin was sowhat puzzled.
Dong Tiesong said indifferently, “They say they won’t co back within three days, but what of it? If we were to hurry along, wouldn’t we seem afraid of them?”
Feng Yin: “…”
Was there such reasoning?
But when he thought about it, it made sense.
If the mighty Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace were to scurry away because of a threat from soone else, it would indeed be a disgrace.
So, I don’t need you to give way.
I would rather wait for you to co and cause trouble.
Otherwise, how could we show that Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace fears nothing and is filled with pride and depth?
This was truly a confidence that only a super sect could display!
“Alright then.”
Feng Yin felt this was sowhat foolish.
But he also knew that these people valued the reputation of Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace more than their own lives.
They would rather lose their lives than let the prestige of Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace be diminished!
Such a deeply ingrained sense of pride, Feng Yin could only admire.
Thus, they traveled leisurely as if they were out for a picnic, enjoying the mountains and waters.
…
On the Yuezhou battlefield.
After a great victory, Wu Tiejun had already led his troops to pursue the enemy.
Ma Qiange and Fei Xinyu pursued Great Qi, while Wu Tiejun himself chased after Great Yan.
Advancing rapidly all the way.
In the midst of pursuit, the Yan State army was defeated step by step.
Wu Tiejun passed through the Black Mountain with an unstoppable montum.
But during the chase, Wu Tiejun was always puzzled by one question.
And that question was…
How did the Yan State army get exposed?
Especially the ambushed Yan State army, why would they blow their cover on their own initiative?
This confounded Wu Tiejun.
Why would it be like this?
Even if it was Bai Yihwen, how could he possibly make such a mistake?
This was too strange.
And more puzzling was that Bai Yihwen did not appear from the beginning to the end.
This made it all the more confusing.
Because, intelligence indicated that the Black Feather, led by Bai Yihwen, had long been near the battlefield.
What was going on?
Of course, the most bewildering thing…
Was that before the decisive battle began, the area where the Yan State’s ambushing forces were located suddenly had countless pine trees on the top of the hill shaking wildly at the sa ti.
And everything was thrown into chaos within.
All the warhorses went crazy, running wild in every direction.
Wu Tiejun made a decisive move, ordering a full-scale attack.
A brilliant victory, that had been surprisingly easy to achieve.
But what exactly happened, Grand Marshal Wu himself had no clue.
All his subordinates knew it was Commander Wu’s brilliant strategizing and preparations that made the victory so easy, but Wu Tiejun himself knew.
I actually didn’t do anything.
But to say so would undermine the soldiers’ morale.
So Wu Tiejun had maintained an appearance of having everything under control from the start, making it clear: It was my arrangent. I did it. I had calculated it all long ago…
Thus, the na of God of War began to be noisily echoed in everyone’s ears.
“Really strange.”
Wu Tiejun pondered in his heart.
anwhile, at the sa ti, the Black Feather had lost many of its people, and were now rushing the injured Bai Yihwen towards the rear.
Young Master Bai was truly seriously hurt this ti.
And the manner of the injury was incredibly dumbfounding!
No one could have dread that the renowned and astute Young Master Bai would take such a tumble.
The reason was as follows…
