"Do you dare defy orders?"
In the military camp, a fierce wind arose, Gou Yue’s eyes as sharp as blades, cold as ice, with an aura swirling around him like a storm, making the white hair of Pei Yanhu before him disheveled, and the cloak behind him flapped wildly in the wind.
Yet his face remained calm, his brows resembling the shape of a mountain, showing no disturbance.
Facing the pressure of this Half-step Dragon and Tiger, his body slowly emanated a not-so-weak force.
This Deputy Commander, who had fought in the Jiannan Road Fusi for half a lifeti, had at so point broken through to the Martial Vault.
Now, the Fusi was not as it was in the past, having undergone a large-scale war baptism, and those who survived were elite troops. With the world reshaped, the Fusi’s station was transford by Chen Yuan into a Grotto Heaven, with many soldiers undergoing tamorphosis.
It was not an overnight achievent, but the result of accumulated strength over ti!
This Commander also broke through to the Martial Vault here, but did not reveal it to outsiders.
In an instant, a burst of energy exploded between the two, Pei Yanhu raised his gaze to et the newly appointed Demon Suppression Envoy, electric light seed to flicker between them, and he slowly spoke,
"I dare not!"
"It’s just that this matter is beyond my authority to decide."
Gou Yue’s face slightly darkened, his eyes flickered slightly upon seeing this Deputy Commander release the aura of the Martial Vault, contradicting the intelligence; he had broken through the Martial Vault at so point.
Was he unconvinced?
"General Pei, are you trying to show off to ?" He said this with eyes flashing coldly, clenching his back teeth as if with a chill,
"This is the imperial decree drafted by His Majesty, also under Lord Chen’s auspices, appointing as the Demon Suppression Envoy. Do not think I’ve taken your position by force."
What he thought was that this Deputy Commander, having broken through the Martial Vault, was dissatisfied with the position of Demon Suppression Envoy falling to him, throwing a tantrum, showing discontent.
He heard that last ti, Chen Longhu was unconvinced and defeated the court-dispatched troops.
These people from the Southwest Earth Governor were indeed unruly, igniting his anger inwardly.
However, just as his words fell, an elderly voice, like a mischievous child’s, suddenly resounded in the camp.
"Hey, isn’t this the escort who took Chen to the Capital? How co he’s back, acting so full of himself."
As the voice sounded, the curtain of the camp was lifted, letting in a gust of wind.
The wind swirled like a phantom, appearing beside the two, revealing Old Man Dong with a red-veined nose, holding a wine gourd, drunk like a drunkard, looking around from side to side.
Hearing the word "escort", Gou Yue’s skin twitched, his brows furrowed, his eyes showing a sign of fierceness, with a flick of his sleeve, he waved aside, "Get lost!"
The air blast exploded, crashing directly into the seemingly drunken old man, but contrary to expectation, the scene of the old man being blown away did not happen. That explosive wave fell upon him, and he took it as if unhard.
Still baring his red-veined teeth, "Oh my, such a temper, bullying an old man like ."
Pei Yanhu beside him fittingly lowered his hand, slowly speaking, "Elder Dong, this is the newly appointed court Demon Suppression Envoy; the imperial decree has just arrived."
Old Man Dong, hearing this, smoothed down his unruly hair, clicked his tongue, "Tsk, no wonder acting so high and mighty."
"I sensed soone released a pressure, wondered who it was."
Gou Yue hearing the old man’s chatter, his face went darker, but quickly, with a shift of his watchful gaze, he recalled who this person was.
Though his arrival in Shu was hurried, he’d done so howork, rembering the Tianxiong Pass mutiny incident; this old man was reportedly involved in it with Chen Longhu.
He was a person the court wanted to pursue culpability for.
Despite facing his casual strike, the opponent took it as if it was painless and unitching, showing that his cultivation was seemingly not weaker than his own.
With a flicker of anger in his eyes’ corner, he suppressed his fury and made a ntal note of this.
And just then, whoosh, the camp curtain was blown open by the wind again.
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
The wind and snow howled.
The camp was filled with several new figures.
Three of the Taixui Mountain Thirteen Grand Protectors, Shaking Mountain Tiger Hu Yanqing, Mad Blade Yu Wenguang, Jade Qilin Jin Yushan, Mountain Man Yangshan from Enlightennt Mountain, Ling Yunzi, Zhao Quanzhen who just broke through the Martial Vault, as well as the sect leaders of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect and Su Nu Sword Sect.
In total, nine Martial Vaults!
Instantly, the energy in the camp surged like an ocean, each one standing around Gou Yue.
The energy directly encircled him, gaze falling upon him, so with unfriendly expressions, others appraising and scrutinizing.
This directly startled the imperial eunuch, issuing the decree from behind Gou Yue, making him jump with a bead of sweat on his forehead.
How can there be so many Martial Vaults in this camp!
Did he poke a hornet’s nest of Martial Vaults or what?
Gou Yue’s eyelids also jumped, his intelligence lacking, unaware when Jiannan Road Fusi gained so many Martial Vaults, and these people’s energy sealing the surroundings, making his face turn unsightly.
"My three brothers saw that damned Heavenly Army outside, what’s this, does the court co to stir trouble again."
"Why is he here?"
"Where is our big brother now?"
Shaking Mountain Tiger Hu Yanqing raised his rugged brows, muscles bulging all over, eyeing Gou Yue and the imperial eunuch skeptically, tone rather disrespectful toward the court, exuding banditry.
The imperial eunuch wiped sweat with a lowered sleeve, took a few small hurried steps forward, forced a smile on his face,
"May I ask who is your big brother?"
"Colonel Chen!" Hu Yanqing glanced sideways at the forced-smiling eunuch.
"Oh, it’s Lord Chen, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Lord Chen is now graced with imperial favor, promoted to Patrol Angel of the Southwest Three Roads. Just now, my humble self has announced the imperial decree to this General Pei."
"Lord Gou here beside , precisely entrusted by His Majesty and Lord Chen, has co to Shu to take over as the Demon Suppression Envoy."
