Normally, one might think that the leader of an organization would naturally sit within it and guide it.
But Wang Yang went the opposite direction, staying within the Bo Family to conduct remote command.
"What?"
Planning to send thirty thousand soldiers over, plus an expert at the celestial Demon Boundary?
When Xiu Huang heard this news, his legs nearly gave way.
The number was terrifying; even with Du Feng brought over, they had only three experts at the celestial Demon Boundary, and fewer than three thousand soldiers.
Such numbers were completely outmatched, not even on the sa level.
Kui Jiang quickly said, "Do not panic, since Your Majesty is aware, there will surely be a counterasure. Didn’t Your Majesty instruct us to retreat?"
Xiu Huang shook his head, "Your Majesty gave no instructions, rely told us to stand by."
"Could Your Majesty intend to take action personally?"
Kui Jiang’s eyes lit up eagerly; he most hoped Wang Yang would act personally.
He really wanted to see Wang Yang in full force, to see just how powerful he truly was.
"Wishful thinking!"
Xiu Huang snorted coldly, "Unless our Free Heaven Country is left without a single person, Your Majesty certainly won’t take action."
While the two were discussing, suddenly a small boat floated over from afar.
On it were only three people, led by none other than their very familiar Ping Xiao!
The other two were newly promoted strongn at the celestial Demon Boundary from Free Heaven Country.
Ping Xiao smiled faintly, stepping directly onto the boat: "Gentlen, Your Majesty sent to assist you. Are you perhaps facing a major trouble?"
Xiu Huang chuckled bitterly, "More than just a major trouble, now Yuan Water Capital has mobilized all forces intending to bombard us, with over ten experts at the celestial Demon Boundary!"
Ping Xiao nodded, "This indeed is trouble, it’s far more serious than I imagined!"
Beside him, Kui Jiang couldn’t help but complain, "What good is just you being sent by Your Majesty? Can you alone stop an entire army?"
"Not at all, not at all."
Ping Xiao laughed heartily, "Though I can’t stop an entire army, I can hold them up for a mont. Your Majesty sent not to defeat the enemy, but to let them know our Free Heaven Country isn’t easily conquered, forcing them to concede!"
Ping Xiao is arguably the one who understands Wang Yang best, even more so than Du Feng, who has followed Wang Yang the longest.
Though Xiu Huang and Kui Jiang have grown sowhat, they still don’t compare to Ping Xiao.
"Your words are cryptic, can you simplify them? Why do I feel so confused?"
The two frowned.
Ping Xiao said plainly, "It’s simple; as long as I hold them off, we seize the chance to retreat, then Yuan Water Capital won’t dare launch a second attack."
"How can you hold off thirty thousand soldiers and so many experts?"
Xiu Huang was utterly incredulous.
Suddenly, Ping Xiao’s hand produced a Compass, and the two froze, recalling Ping Xiao’s proficiency in the Way of Array Formations.
"I’ve studied the Nine-Bend Yellow River Great Formation recently; though not mastered, I’ve grasped so techniques. Holding off twelve celestial Demon Boundary experts for a ti wouldn’t be overly difficult."
Upon hearing this from Ping Xiao, the two were overjoyed, saying quickly, "That’s wonderful, that’s wonderful! With your help, we can surely retreat safely, and hit them with a warning blow."
Just then, the patrolling boat returned from afar.
A person from Free Heaven Country hastened aboard to report, "Bad news, two Great Commanders, Yuan Water Capital’s forces have surrounded the entire water area, we likely cannot escape!"
Seeing his subordinate’s panic, Xiu Huang remained calm, "No worries; this ti they are bound to suffer losses, I am curious to see how capable Yuan Water Capital really is!"
Having said that, Xiu Huang ordered his n to gather all nearby boats together to confront the Yuan Water Capital ships.
Hai Fengping’s several generals were now full of fighting spirit too.
Feeling extrely aggrieved, Free Heaven Country’s influence had greatly impacted them recently, yet they were helpless against it.
The leading general said coldly, "Hmph!"
"By no ans will we let Free Heaven Country’s people escape alive, otherwise where is our dignity?"
"Kill!"
With his command, his troops sounded drums of attack.
Dozens of ships surrounded the area where Xiu Huang and his n were.
Previously vast waters now seed exceedingly narrow.
Even the water bandits had fled into hiding.
"Terrifying indeed, Yuan Water Capital’s full mobilization, could it be the start of a major purge?"
"Clearly, you didn’t hear, the newest power rising on these waters is called Free Heaven Country, they offended Yuan Water Capital multiple tis, and how could Hai Fengping be a mild-mannered person?"
So inford people already knew generally what was happening.
It must be that Free Heaven Country offended Hai Fengping, leading to this unrestrained vendetta.
Seeing the surrounding forty or so ships, panic would be genuine.
But Xiu Huang and Kui Jiang, recalling Ping Xiao’s Nine-Bend Yellow River Great Formation, felt much at ease.
That formation, they’d seen in action before, when Ping Xiao first engaged with it.
Leading them to slay three celestial Demon Boundary experts and retreat unscathed.
Nearly two years have passed since, Ping Xiao surely was even more refined!
Moreover, Wang Yang once said if the formation is used to its limit,
Even a Demon Saint Realm expert couldn’t exit safely, let alone these celestial Demon Boundary experts.
"Hmm? Strange, isn’t Hai Fengping personally present?"
Xiu Huang looked from afar, disappointed not to see Hai Fengping among them.
If Hai Fengping were here, upon witnessing the Nine-Bend Yellow River Great Formation, undoubtedly his expression would be truly spectacular.
Xiu Huang even had mischief at heart, wishing to see Hai Fengping enraged but powerless to harm them.
"Free Heaven Country, we’ve offered peace, yet you refuse; today, here will be your grave."
The leading General sneered, his voice echoing across the waters.
In terms of volu, Xiu Huang was never intimidated, standing on the deck and shouting loudly, "Ho! Where is your City Lord? Why only these nobodies?"
This remark nearly fainted the opposing side with rage, mighty as celestial Demon Boundary experts were, being called nobodies?
The leading figure shouted back, "Dealing with you weaklings, the City Lord need not intervene."
Kui Jiang lifted his long blade, "In that case, there’s nothing more to say, let’s fight."
The opposing side paused, surprised at Free Heaven Country’s fierce battle spirit.
The lead general looked at the Counselor beside him, asked, "Sir, the enemy is so brazen, do they have a hidden card, seeming unafraid of us?"
The Counselor, holding a fan, shook his head after so ti, "Not possible unless their leader is here, but even if their leader has True Demon Cultivation, with our numbers, he likely can’t withstand us, only retreat disgracefully."
After hearing the Counselor’s words, the general then felt at ease.
With a big hand wave he ordered, "All move in!"
Nurous ships closed in, celestial Demon Boundary experts leapt towards them.
But at that mont, a figure erged from the lead ship.
Ping Xiao stood on deck, his Compass soared skyward.
"Boom!"
As the Compass flew, the surrounding waters underwent a massive change.
The entire surface surged forth, forming a shape of Nine-Bend Gallery.
Trapping all within, impossible to escape!
