MG Chapter – 59 The Dawn
The night’s odor was gloomy and unusual; the silence had its own unique sound
Theshadows of enor in ambush all around us
The easy-to-defend Xu castle, after going through five days of defense, had eventually reached the limit
Although Xu fa the Xu castle, they never expected their predecessors to encounter such a situation
Under the cooperation of the four leaders of horse bandits, there were actually more than five thousand bandits, which further had five tenth layer experts and more than ten ninth layer experts
None of the influential fa county could resist such an enormous power
Five days For a full five days, under the lead of He Wude and Xu Yinjie, all the core ht Almost every one of them was injured and at the point of exhaustion
They had already lost count how many times they had repelled the horse bandits’ assault As of now, the corpses of horse bandits ahtening nu these thousand bandits, there was no lack of seventh and eighth layer cultivators, and even two ninth layer experts Such heavy casualties made the leaders of the horse bandits extremely furious, but at the same time, also firmed their determination to wipe out of Xu castle
At this moment, everybody inside the Xu castle knew that if Xu castle was breached, not a single one of had any chance of surviving
“Ah…”
A blood-curling screaht sky, the sound travelled forpeople acted as if they hadn’t heard anything; not even sparing a glance in that direction
Xu Yinjie softly patted his hands His thin, dried-up face had caved in, ht Wherever he passed by, the younger generation of all three faazes on this dried-up, baratitude
During the night, he’d killed seven horse bandits that had sneaked onto the wall If this oldfor himself, their defense would have already crumbled
However, looking at the three faeneration, Xu Yinjie’s heart was quite heavy
His vision fell upon the city hich already had several openings Even the coap
The horse bandits had coh
“Brother Xu, you’ve killed one again- more than one compared to the result of my yesterday’s battle”
An aged voice ca strides Cheng Zhusheng followed right behind with a big smile on his face
It seeone through a battle of several days, but that beautiful garden back at his home
The surrounding young disciples, spongers, andattendants involuntarily felt refreshed after seeing his sue accumulated over the past few days was dissolved
Xu Yinjie nodded at them, and the three tacitly walked over to a corner With a wave of a hand fro there immediately bowed and left in quick steps
Although there were only three old men here, these were the threecounty
If soh at thisthe path to their own deaths
Along with a light froht rays illu a clear e
However, although the latter’s se, the words that came out of his mouth weren’t funny in the least, “Brother Xu, the situation tonight seems somewhat too abnormal”
“Yes, I also feel the saather horses and people below”
Xu Yinjie spoke in a cold and detached tone There wasn’t a trace of expression on this old e at all, because everybody knew that he cultivated Withered Tree technique His face without e Zhusheng, that would simply make one feel as if the heavens were about to collapse
He Wude let out a sigh His back stood perfectly straight After spendinghardshi+ps, he was still bri men
“If we aren’t , they will probably launch an all-out attack toions, “I’ht not be able to resist”
The other two didn’t say a word, but their eyes tacitly showed agreement
Cheng Zhusheng suddenly said, “Brother He, brother Xu, I have a suggestion Youit?”
“Speak,” He Wude said in a lowered voice
“This time the three influential families have come across a disaster However, we can’t truly be exterather the eneration and separate the the attack of the horse bandits, He Quanyi, Xu Xiangci, and my family’s Jiayun will lead theh the back mountain trail”
Even when he said these words, the shtest and still gave off a soothing feeling
“Why would you pick theht replace Xiangci”
“I resolutely said, “I knohat you’re thinking and also know Xu Right is the nueneration However, this is precisely the reason If Xu Right were to do this, it would undoubtedly attract a lot of attention, and it would be the end of the only chance of the third generation’s escape”
“Brother Cheng’s words are correct If we are to escort the eneration out, I’ht also has to stay here” He Wude sighed deeply
Cheng Zhusheng sly continued, “A pity, if your Xu fas of horse bandits, even if there were ten, ouldn’t have to fear them at all”
An indescribable glow flickered in Xu Yinjie’s eyes, as if he was soretful and somewhat annoyed
“Brother Cheng, why are saying such things now?” He paused and asked, “You’ve already selected your candidates?”
“Yes,” Cheng Zhusheng said, “I’ve selected seven who’ve good state of mind and drenched their hands in blood in this battle They ought to have roo family’s future in their hands, I’m fairly relieved”
He Wude lightly shrugged and said, “Our He fa the infory below the sixth layer take shelter in the , Quanyi, Yihai, and Yixuan who’ve come with me After several discussions, we’ve decided Quanyi will lead Yihai and Yixuan to try to break through the encircle”
Xu Yinjie’s face slightly changed as he suddenly said, “Your suggestion is alright, but I think we better have soes”
He Wude and Cheng Zhusheng exchanged a glance, si a trace of puzzled expression, ‘Could this old man have come up with some brilliant idea? This is not like the usual him at all”
Xu Yinjie’s voice becaht beside him had to focus in order to hear clearly
“Tomorrow, I’ll stay behind alone You all, leave”
He Wude and Cheng Zhusheng simultaneously rolled their eyes, and the latter discontentedly said, “Don’t joke If you stay behind alone, our bravado would take a huge hit In that case, I guarantee you not a single one will escape”
Xu Yinjie’s eyes revealed a trace of bizarre expression as he said, “Gentle you don’t know Our Xu castle has a secret path leading directly to the mountains in the back This path has existed since the day Xu castle was created It’s just that it has never been used in these hundred years”
He Wude and Cheng Zhusheng’s eyes shi+ned with delight
With the existence of such a secret path, although it was not possible to co the core members was not an issue at all
Xu Yinjie continued, “To, these robbers will probably launch an all out attack Seize the opportunity and leave with everybody”
Cheng Zhusheng hesitated a bit, then asked, “What about you? Not co with us?”
Xu Yinjie coarsely laughed He didn’t reply, only ridiculed himself, “We are called the three influential fa county, but in co county…Tai Cang county is too small, too weak”
He Wude and Cheng Zhusheng’s face started to becohtly
In fact, it could even be said that the coth of these fath of the entire Tai Cang county However, not to mention entire Atai county, they couldn’t even cos in Atai county
This fact was indeed soest, and thus, made them feel a little unwell
“That’s enough,” Xu Yinjie sighed and said, “We’ll return and escort all the disciples with potential in our respective clans out No need to be stingy Leaving a hope for the them to death’s door here I even believe that after this calasters will certainly rise oncecounty oncecounty”
“And you? Really not intending to leave?” Cheng Zhusheng suddenly asked
Xu Yinjie swept his gaze all around the castle; his eyes filled with unwillingness to part, “This is my home I was born here, and will be buried here upon death as well I must take responsibility for all of those who are connected to Xu faht knows about the tunnel After ht; he will take you out”
In the discussion between the three, all they talked about was related to the three faers and servants, not even a as mentioned Even all those woain any consideration from Xu Yinjie
Evidently, in their et the core members of the three families out safely, they were satisfied
He Wude deeply glanced at him, then suddenly turned around and walked away
Cheng Zhusheng, however, retreated a few steps and suddenly stopped, “Yinjie, you don’t bla these people here, do you?”
Xu Yinjie faintly ss of Atai county had joined hands Don’t tell et is merely county town? Even if you and He Wude hadn’t come here, they still would have razed He round Otherwise, how could they have agreed to make such a trip”
Cheng Zhusheng coarsely laughed Not speaking any further, he sloalked down the wall
With a flicker, an individual suddenly walked out from a dark place This individual was precisely the eneration, Xu Right
“Father, why have you informed them about the secret path?”
Xu Yinjie faintly shook his head, “Right, bear incounty is our base We can’t let this place be truly powerless We can let He fa family take the lead, we can endure our sub as their is a slither of hope, we should never allow an external power to establish a footing here”
Xu Right’s face flickered, see However, Xu Yinjie shook his head and said, “I knohat you’re thinking If a second He Wude co county, let hi county by all means, let him truly treat this place as his native place You understand?”
Xu Right eventually lowered his head and said, “Yes, I’ll remember”
“En, this time there is no escape for Xu castle After you lead everybody outside, ireed, not totwo or three castles is not a probleood opportunity, and perhaps the only one You rasp it”
Xu Yinjie vigorously sounded his agreement and suddenly said, “Father, you really don’t intend to leave?”
“Nonsense,” Xu Yinjie’s broitched as he spoke, “This is my family Whosoever wants to intrude in my home will pay the price for it”
Although his tone was dull, it carried an unquestionable perseverance
Xu Right’s fists tightly clenched He knew that there were countless eyes observing hie any clue If people were able to guess that the coreto abandon the castle and escape, the people in the castle would certainly have no will to fight re in them
As long as horse bandits charged inside, they would easily decapitate everybody inside
Sighing deeply, Xu Right turned around and departed in heavy steps; his heart filled with sorrow He knew this would be the last ti his father
Under the castle wall, a kilo Whoever hadoutside the castle, had been intercepted by them and ruthlessly killed
A ed man with a tall and lean build but a cold face had locked Xu castle under the sky in his viper gaze
This individual was precisely one of the four horse bandit gangs’ leaders, Wolf Fangs’ Zhong Wei Although he appeared to be in his forties, his true age had long crossed the mark of sixty years
All the leaders of the four biggest horse bandit gangs of Atai county were above sixty in age and reputed tenth layer experts However, Red Cloth bandits had two tenth layer experts In ters
Upon receiving Red Cloth bandits’ invitation, he thought it over and over before eventually agreeing
Apart froain soainst Red Cloth bandits’ idea
After all, even a and weak, and he, Zhong Wei, was undoubtedly the weakest a the five leaders
At first, everything went smoothly However, none of the the county town, they would bump into a hard bone like Xu castle
In comparison to Xu castle, the county toas like a mud hich collapsed in one push
On the other hand, against Xu castle’s high wall, even though they had experts as numerous as clouds, they had to spend a full five days and sacrifice over a thousanda few entrances through the wall
Though these few entrances were enough in itself
Zhong Wei licked his solint flickered in his eyes as he clasped his hands and slowly released theh his body As it passed through his right shoulder, his right shoulder faintly ached
His face faintly twitched, and the killing intent he was e became somewhat denser, which made his subordinates quiver in fear
When they had begun to seize, he happened to run into Xu Yinjie During the few paled, he was hit by Xu Yinjie on his right shoulder Although it was not fatal, it caused his
He’d already decided that once they broke into the city, he would certainly capture Xu Yinjie alive, and before hiive all the women to suffer huret that he’d injured him
