Divine Brilliance - Chapter 432

Chapter 432: Huge Changes

Lewu County

The city, which had less than 600 thousand people, resounded with the sound of drums and instruments. There were groups of people everywhere.

However, at this moment, different from the warm and exciting atmosphere, a solemn and serious expression spread all about the city.

“It seems like there is an ambush!”

The place where Luoshi stood at was within a small Pavillion far from the city center. In front of it, there were numerous buildings blocking. However, it couldn’t stop one from using spiritual spells to investigate.

This outcome made him take in a deep cold breath. His eye obstacle technique could only look through 3 thousand feet before it was blocked by some spiritual energy. He didn’t notice anything, however—which made it more shocking.

When Xie An heard that, he wasn’t surprised at all.

“It is too be expected, that Yuan Jiuchen and Tailing Sect think that we definitely wouldn’t be able to save them. What we need to think about is how to save people and how to escape. Only we have too little people…”

Xuanye was filled with worry and wanted to persuade him, but he was unable to say it out. For these ten over fellow sect disciples, it will only drag down more of them. That sense of danger was getting heavier and heavier.

Thinking about it carefully, Xuanye suppressed such thoughts. 3 sects and 6 schools looking out and helping one another, no matter how many casualties they suffered, they must save them.

“Speaking of which it is all because of Tanqiu! If it wasn’t for him being too cowardly and unwilling to save our fellow disciples, why would we have a lack of people? I saw Tanqiu’s personality that day. He doesn’t dare to take responsibility for his actions. When I wanted him to swear on a heart demon he instantly changed his words…”

Li Zhi scoffed, his gaze filled with disdain before he said solemnly, “We have to be extremely careful regarding what we do. It is good to save them, but we can’t risk the lives of so many juniors and seniors. It is best if we plan for the long term!”

The other 3 of them all frowned as they exchanged glances with one another. Although they had some doubts in their hearts, what this person said made sense and they couldn’t chide him about it.

“Yuan Jiuchen wants to bait us to attack and they are plotting against us openly. Our common people path can plot openly and occupy the east gate to give ourselves a way out. Let’s see how they react, if they just bear with it then their plot must be a huge one…”

Just as they were speaking, suddenly 10 over huge explosions spread out from outside the Pavillion. The sounds shook the entire city, numerous flames suddenly charged up into the sky.

The people within were all startled as they looked outside of the window. Following which they heard several shouts spread over.

“That side is on fire! Put out the fire…”

“…It’s the people from the common people path!”

“Those bandits! Luckily no one died…”

Luoshi’s brows rose up.

The glow from the flames rose up from where the center of the city was at. All around, there were a few which caused the entire city to be in chaos. Looking around once more, fierce killing intent filled aura rose up into the sky and surrounded them.

Luoshi scolded out inside, who was the one messing about? Without thinking much he stepped into the sky.

“We can’t stay here any longer, let everyone flee! Flee to the east gate!”

Xie An and Xuanye’s brows also furrowed tightly. No matter how they thought about it, the situation today didn’t seem right. It was like someone purposely wanted to startle the enemy? Was it Tailing Sect, but looking at their style, it was a little off.

Suddenly the corner of his eyes saw 2 shadows that safely escaped out from the city gate.

“…Xuan Yunlan, Zhao Yanran!”

Xie An’s pupils instantly constricted, before he could even rage, an extremely strong intent surged over.

“Longling?”

He instinctively lashed out with the sword, instantly sword energy shook the sky as energy surged all about.

Xie An instantly looked towards where the sword light came from to see that it was that Longling from Tailing Sect.

He couldn’t help but take in a deep breath, forcefully suppressing his emotions. For the battle today, Xuanye, Luoshi and Xie An were the strongest so naturally, they had the responsibility of bringing up the rear! They could only fight to the death!

Right at the same time, within a tall building in the center of Wule City, a 40 over year old steely looking male had an extremely weird expression. He was holding an official document in his hand. He had only finished half of it but at this moment he could only stop.

In front of him was a teen with distinct features and wearing a green Taoist robe who was looking over the railing. Within his clean eyes were also filled with loss and confusion.

“Weird, what exactly are the common people path thinking? Did they think that by creating this ruckus they will make us release those ten over bandits and not kill them?”

The 40 over male didn’t reply, using true qi to pass over the document in his hand.

After the teen accepted it, his refined-looking brows were tightly furrowed.

The contents of the document wanted to delay the timing of the beheading, to move these ten over common people path disciples into the capital.

“This common people path have their methods, they are finally smart for once. Since it is the ministry of war that sent the document we have to follow. But then what is this mess today?”

Not only was Ji Lingzi confused, but even Yuan Jiuchen couldn’t understand.

Those escaping common people path disciples didn’t look like they were faking it. But why even with the ministry of war sending out the documents, these people would still run out? Those ten over explosions seemed to intend to arouse suspicions. Who knows who was the culprit behind it. It filled them with a whole load of doubts.

They didn’t know whether or not they should chase them now or not.

That Ji Lingzi thought about it for a moment before he cupped his fists towards Yuan Jiuchen, “Commander Yuan please give the order to chase. No matter what methods the common people path uses, we will use strength to suppress them and use our aura to force them, that wouldn’t be a wrong decision. The overall situation is still in our hands, with our troops the common people path wouldn’t be able to play any tricks.”

When Yuan Jiuchen heard that he smiled, “That is the theory!”

When he said those words, he also stepped into the air, crossing the tall building. Like they had received a signal, only to see numerous elite soldiers surge out from the houses and rooms nearby, surging towards the east city like that of a flood.

※※※※

Outside of Lewu City, still that small mountain peak.

At this moment Zong Shou was so bored that he was yawning. Then, several explosions suddenly rang out from within the city. He jolted to his senses.

As expected, in the next moment, hundreds of people fled out from the east gate. The one that charged at the front was naturally Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan, each riding on a silver scale wind stepping beast. They were extremely quick and they looked more leisure than the people behind them.

Not long after these 200 odd people charge out of the city gates, a vast cavalry unit chased closely behind.

As for the area above, it made one shocked. Spiritual energy shocked the sky, one could see Xuanye and the other 2 fighting intensely in the sky. Pretty much each of them faced a grade 7 experts, the situation seemed extremely dangerous. Not far away 2 people were crossing the air over to their direction.

“It’s the Tailing Sect purple cloud sword cavalry! Daoming Sect’s qingyuan power warrior.”

That Xuan Shu clenched his fists tight. In the direction of the city gate, those 800 cavalry soldiers wearing purple colored armor were the famous dao soldiers of Tailing Sect-Purple Cloud sword cavalry!

The one leading the cavalry was Tailing. The one beside him, his strength had already reached grade 7. He should be the commander of the purple cloud sword cavalry.

After these few people, there were 200 cavalry wearing green armor. Apart from having fewer numbers and weaker aura than those purple cloud sword cavalry, the 200 of them only had grade 5 strength.

Xuan Shu raised his head and looked into the sky.

“Daoming Sect’s Luoye also came…”

Zong Shou smiled but didn’t reply. He shut his eyes to conserve energy.

Yongqin who was behind had an anxious expression on her face. Looking at those purple cloud sword cavalry, their speed getting faster and faster under the spell buffs. Who knew what special spells that Tailing cast to cause those mounts’ movement speed to increase by large amounts. Above, Xuanye was already fighting one against two. She was retreating whilst fighting, the situation she was in was really dangerous. She couldn’t help but say anxiously, “Tanqiu, what are you all still doing here? Aren’t you going to save them!”

Zong Shou acted like he didn’t hear that, calm and unperturbed. A moment later Xuan Shu spoke, “They have split up!”

Zong Shou acknowledged, not saying a word. He looked on as he saw those 800 purple cloud sword cavalry slowly ditch the Great Shang cavalry army behind, the distance between them got larger and larger.

At this moment in the area above, Xuanye and Luoshi were slowly losing out, a few bloody wounds appeared on each of their bodies.

Yongqin was so anxious that she was about to go crazy, scolding out, “Tanqiu, you cold-blooded! Are you going to watch on as they die? To think my senior sister Xuanye spoke good words for you, who knew you were such a vicious person! You are an animal, a beast…” If it wasn’t that her body was tied up, she wanted to give this Tanqiu a heavy kick.

Zong Shou was helpless, turning around and giving the signal. Ruoshui smiled, a few ups and downs and she arrived beside Yongqin, covering the mouth of the teen, “Be a good girl, be well behaved! A girl that likes to scold others isn’t a good kid.”

Xuan Shu’s gaze didn’t leave the battlefield for even a moment. A short while later he heaved a sigh of relief, “About there!”

Zong Shou still acknowledged once more, lazily holding his sword. Those common people path disciples were being slowly caught up, at this moment they spread out all about.

Those 800 purple cloud sword cavalry also dispersed, only a small half continued to chase.

The situation above was the same, Xie An Xuanye and Luoshi each left in a direction, getting ready to flee.

Zong Shou’s lips curled up, thinking to himself that these people weren’t total fools.

Yongqin was struggling, but Ruoshui forcefully controlled her such that she couldn’t move.

As for Zong Shou, he was waiting. Until the main force of the purple cloud sword cavalry, the 400 of them were not far away from the mountain, around 10 thousand feet did he suddenly open his eyes, pulling out the red sword behind his back.

The sword was 1500 kilograms heavy, the size of a door, it was really heavy. When he swung with it he felt a little burdensome. Zong Shou held the giant sword diagonally and was the 1st to gallop forwards.

“Let’s go!”

Those ten spirit masters were long prepared, instantly casting out several spells and talismans to buff on them.

240 common people mysterious dragon warriors all roared out, controlling the silver scale wind stepping beasts from the small mountain downwards.

The situation in the east of Lewu City was about to change.
