Chapter Two Hundred and Eighty Six – Arrival!

Rong Wei watched the troop disappear into the horizon, her heart was filled with shock that she could not voice.

After personally watching the entire battle, this troop of six or seven hundred people had left a deep impression on her. The knife-sharp charges had caused her to momentarily think of turning and fleeing

There was no challenge in the entire battle. It ended in an extremely short amount of time. This troop was like a keen blade that dismembered the enemy in moments. Yes, other than dismembering, she could not think of any other descriptor that could express the scene she saw.

Their opponent had been a troop of a thousand people.

The compound guards next to Rong Wei stared in disbelief with gaping mouths at the empty sky. The scene just now had given them too much of a blow. The unstoppable and keen charges pierced their hearts like a bolt of lightning!

The thousand man troop had seemed to be made out of paper-mache. With one clash, they had shattered into pieces. Rong Wei had never thought that when the howls and sharp presences of sword energies gathered together, that it could be so spectacular, so soul-stealing. Even they, the spectators, felt their scalps prickle, their limbs cold. What must it like to be the troop that was facing such a terrifying scene directly?

No one laughed at the troop that was defeated.

How could there be such a strong troop in Little Mountain Jie.

Even in Sky Water Jie, there were only one or two troops that were said to be at such a level.

“Head, there are people following behind us,” Xie Shan said to Gongsun Cha in a low voice.

Many of the people in the troop had noticed a troop of people following behind them. However, they were not worried, just slightly curious. After fighting for so long, people who saw them fight all fled with the wind. It was the first time they saw someone who followed them like this.

Gongsun Cha looked back. “Oh, go ask.”

Xie Shan admonished himself for being chatty. Wasn’t that finding more work to do for himself? However, since Lil’ Miss commanded it, he could only fly towards that troop.

Truthfully, Rong Wei’s heart was also very insecure. If the other unreasonably charged over to kill without any cause, they could only flee. However, she noticed that the other side didn’t seem to be obsessed with killing, and hadn’t pursued their enemies who had fled.

She was really too curious about this troop. She was very learned, and naturally could see the bones of an army in this troop. She knew very well that building an army was not a simple battle. The members had to be picked with thought, there had to be skilled members, and there were enormous expenses … …

There were many sects in Sky Water Jie, but only two had an army.

She had followed the Marquis for many years, and knew the Marquis had had the notion for a long time. However, he struggled with the problem of manpower. The only people that had the abilities to build an army were battle generals, but only large sects had the abilities to groom battle generals.

The compound guards under her command looked like the elite, but if they were compared, the difference was instantly visible. Rong Wei’s eyes were not ordinary. She could see the average power of the troop’s xiuzhe wasn’t as high as the compound guards under her command.

But if the equal numbers of people were fighting, the ones to die first would be the compound guards. She actually wanted to see if she could hire this battle general, or hire this entire troop.

But she knew that it was a fantasy. It clearly had been some time since this troop had formed. A sect that didn’t have some power wouldn’t be able to support them, but since they had been raised, then the sect supporting them definitely had power.

The possibility of hiring them was minuscule.

One reason that she had given the ordered to follow was curiosity. The other reason was that she was clear that such a strong troop definitely was a significant power in Little Mountain Jie.

Even if she could not recruit them, it wasn’t a bad choice to partner up with them.

Hadn’t she been puzzled regarding the question of ‘how they were to investigate Stars in Daytime? If she partnered up with such a strong faction, it would be much easier to accomplish.

But the compound guards did not know Rong Wei’s thoughts. Each of them were shaking in their boots, preparing to take Rong Wei and flee at any second.

Suddenly, someone from the troop up ahead flew towards them.

The compound guards instantly became nervous.

Rong Wei’s heart settled down. What she was most worried about was the other would kill without asking any questions. Since the other had sent someone over, then it meant she had the room to speak.

“Who are you? Why are you following us?” Xie Shan asked.

Rong Wei bowed and said, “We are disciples from Sky Water Jie’s House of Marquis Wu, and have come with an order to investigate the Stars in Daytime in Little Mountain Jie. Is it possible to travel with your division? It is for safety. This is a small token of our appreciation, please take it.”

She took out some pieces of fourth-grade jingshi.

Xie Shan looked at the jingshi on her hands but did not take them. He nodded and said, “I’ll report the request for you.”

Finishing, he turned and went back to the troop.

———

“To travel with us?” Gongsun Cha was slightly surprised.

“Or does she want to pursue one of us?” Lei Peng snickered. At the side, Nian Lu shook his bangs, and followed up, “Who else other than me?”

Everyone ignored them. Even Zong Ru couldn’t bear to look at them. How had he been on the same team as these two clowns before? So embarrassing.

“That’s what she said, and they are from Sky Water Jie’s House of Marquis Wu,” Xie Shan continued.

“Which of you have heard of them?” asked Gongsun Cha.

“We are all country people, who’s been to Sky Water Jie,” Ma Fan mocked.

“What do you want to do?” Xie Shan gazed at Gongsun Cha.
