152 Appearance (1/2)

”Brother Xiang, I didn't expect that you were such a person!”

Niu Dingtian's voice was deep and was filled with shock.

Xiang Zilong knew that he couldn't escape. He went to the entrance with a few other lieutenants. Illuminating the way with their fire torches, they saw Fang Yuan, Niu Dingtian, Zhang Qingfeng and a few other soldiers already surrounding the whole place.

Niu Dingtian, who was in front, was still in disbelief. ”Why are you doing this, Brother Xiang?”

”Hehe….The winner shall be the king, and the loser shall be the beggar. Since I've lost, what can I say?”

Xiang Zilong gave a cold smile and looked at Fang Yuan. ”But, how could you have known that it's me? Enlighten me, Prefecture Master, so I can rest in peace!”

”Your plan was perfect, but I had already begun to suspect you from the beginning!”

Fang Yuan shook his head and continued, ”Summer Sun Prefecture was so dangerous, but you two Wu Zongs managed to escape, how fortunate!”

In fact, this was just an excuse Fang Yuan used to explain his suspicions of Xiang Zilong.

The actual reason was that he was a dream master and therefore could sense evil in Xiang Zilong.

”Just because of that?”

Xiang Zilong couldn't believe it.

He had always been very loyal to Liu Yan and did not harbour any thoughts of betrayal while on the way to the Summer Sun Prefecture. Hence, he couldn't believe how Fang Yuan was able to see through him.

”Yes, it is because of that…..Plus…..”

Fang Yuan chuckled and continued, ”Since I'm the Prefecture Master, do I need any reason to suspect you? Oh…..I will need to thank you for sharing the intelligence with the enemy. As a token of appreciation, I shall let you die faster!”

”You…..”

Xiang Zilong broke into cold sweat.

He didn't expect that Fang Yuan, a young Prefecture Master to be so profound!

Fang Yuan knew that he was a spy, kept mum, pretended he didn't know anything, and even caused him to share fake intelligence with Wu Country!

An ant would do everything to keep itself alive.

The few other lieutenants around appeared hopeless, but Xiang Zilong was different. Scanning his surroundings quickly, he was prepared to escape this place!

After all, he was a Wu Zong and could go anywhere he wanted to go. If he could escape to the enemy's camp, he could live there comfortably for the rest of his life. Why would he be willing to die here?

As this thought flashed through his mind, there was a sudden change!

”Whoosh!”

Fang Yuan shifted himself quickly like a lightning and in a blink of an eye, he appeared right in front of Xiang Zilong and grabbed him!

”Chi! Chi!”

The surrounding air became tense, and as Fang Yuan started to grab hold of him, the surrounding air became as though they were layers and layers of chains, restricting Xiang Zilong.

Even though he knew that this was just an illusion, it had utterly shocked Xiang Zilong.

The new Prefecture Master was so powerful!

”Aahh!”

Xiang Zilong's face became red and his blood vessels started to explode. Between life and death, he unleashed his potential and freed himself from Fang Yuan's claw to his neck. Suddenly, he retreated 10 yards backwards before leaping forward; the shadow of his legs fell like raindrops.

”Dragon Subduing Kick!”

Xiang Zilong was also a Wu Zong and was very experienced. He also knew that he would be dead if he chose to escape. The only way out was to defeat the other person.

Hence, he chose to strike first and the first move that he executed was his strongest technique.

”Crackle!”

The shadow of the leg reached Fang Yuan and started to noise like how raindrops land on leaves. However, Fang Yuan paid no attention as though his opponent's moves were like a gentle breeze. He went forward and struck another claw out!

”Rough technique? Your technique is scarier than Niu Dingtian's!”

This thought ran through Xiang Zilong's mind. A crisp sound was heard and he fell to the ground, crying out loud.

”Peng!”

There was blood everywhere.

Only now did the others watching realised that Xiang Zilong's leg had already been grabbed and broken by Fang Yuan, and the leg had fallen onto the ground.

In just a few moves, Xiang Zilong, who was well known in the Secluded Mountains and had been a capital leader in the Secluded Mountains Mansion Armed Forces, was defeated?

Not only that, but he was defeated that easily?

Niu Dingtian opened his eyes widely and slapped his cheeks for a few times. He couldn't believe what he had just seen.

”Bring this man away and lock him up!”

Fang Yuan brought out a white handkerchief to wipe off the bloodstains on his hand while he gave that order.

”Prefecture Master, what about these lieutenants?”

At that moment, Zhang Qingfeng were prepared to take down these lieutenants and knelt down to ask for further instructions.

”These betrayers? What more can I say? Just kill them!”

Niu Dingtian's eyes were filled with anger. He was disappointed in Xiang Zilong and these lieutenants.

”Even though they are a bunch of useless crap, there is still some use in them!”

Fang Yuan then thought, ”Xiang Zilong had already wanted to betray us tonight. I should use them as baits to lure the soldiers of the Wu Country out...”

”Prefecture Master! Please allow us to achieve something great for you in order to compensate for the sins we have made!”

When they realised that there was hope for survival for all of them, the few lieutenants immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

...….

It was midnight.

Outside the city gate.

A troop of soldiers stealthily reached the city gate with black masks and weapons.

After they mimicked the cry of a mouse for 3 times, they heard something across the city wall and there were a few noises. A small gap opened in the city gates and a lieutenant was revealed behind the gap. ”Why are you all late?”

”We were making further preparations just in case!”

The leader of the troop whispered, ”How is the situation inside like?”

”The lieutenant here guarding the gate has been taken down by us. The rest of them are on our side. Follow me!”

The city gate was opened slowly and there was excitement in the eyes of the leader. He then led the troop of people into the city stealthily.

As they passed through the old city wall, they were not in the city yet. They would still have to take another path, which was why this place was also nicknamed the Urn City.

”Something is not right!”
