70 Thunder Rising! (1/2)
Housekeeper Old Pang reached out and pulled a thin wire behind Jun Zhan Tian’s chair. A deafening sound from a bell could be heard resounding throughout the Jun Residence’s courtyard. With that, Old Pang solemnly followed Jun Zhan Tian with a cold and decisive face.
He already knew what Jun Zhan Tian intended to do next, but Old Pang had no intention to stop him. Instead, Old Pang wanted to accompany him! He had no complaints or regrets!
Downstairs, a motionless wheelchair could be seen. Jun Wu Yi was seated upright on it, his sword-like eyebrows exuding a murderous aura that could be felt throughout the skies. He remained expressionless as he observed his father coming down from the stairs. Their eyes were equally determined as they both turned around without uttering a word.
At this point, it was pointless to say anything.
Numerous dark figures swiftly approached the courtyard from all directions, and they then stood quietly in rows of three. They gazed at Jun Zhan Tian in a calm manner. Regardless of what Jun Zhan Tian had planned to do, they would follow him at all cost… until the very end!
From the darkness of the night, countless more figures materialized into the courtyard like ghosts as they assembled and awaited their orders. At this moment, all of Jun Family’s hidden forces had been deployed...
Grandpa Jun Zhan Tian stepped forward and uttered a few words in a subdued tone. Suddenly, the men in the shadows disappeared swiftly, leaving no trace behind, just like blood being scattered across the skies. On the other hand, the whistling sound of the wind seemed to have increased in intensity...
Jun Zhan Tian stood quietly for a moment and took in a deep breath of the fresh night air. However, the air that he inhaled seemed to have a thick stench of blood, causing his lungs to suffocate! He swiveled around and mounted a horse. His face was cold as steel, and his red cape that appeared as though it was soaked in blood, was fluttering about in the wind.
The rest of the soldiers remained quiet as each of them mounted their horses and followed Grandpa Jun. Jun Wu Yi smacked his wheelchair with his hands and flew up into the air before landing on top of his horse. He flicked the reins and urged his horse forwards, following in the soldiers’ footsteps.
Soon after, Jun Zhan Tian situated himself on the stage of the military grounds. Outside, the sound of forty drums could be heard getting louder and louder...
As the drums thundered, men hurriedly donned their military uniforms, armors, and helmets. They gathered their weapons and galloped towards the military grounds on their horses! Once they arrived at the military grounds, they dismounted and stood at attention, their bodies as straight as a spear!
More and more men arrived on the grounds, but not a single word was uttered. They were all looking attentively at Jun Zhan Tian who was seated on the chair of the Grand Marshall, their eyes blazing fanatically!
Old Marshall! It has been too long… too long since we have heard the thundering sound of the Generals Summoning Drum! The raging fires of a hundred battles… oh, how we have missed it!
The pounding of the drums ceased!
The numerous generals continued to stand attentively on the military grounds. On both sides of the ground, dozens of banners were flapping about in the wind, which gave off a sound that resembled that of a thousand people weeping mournfully!
Jun Zhan Tian stood up and walked to the front of the stage where he asked everyone sharply, ”Has everyone arrived?”
”Everyone has arrived! We are all awaiting Senior Marshall’s orders!” chanted the hundreds of soldiers simultaneously.
”Very well! Tonight, this old man will do something revolutionary!” Jun Zhan Tian’s sharp eyes were murderous.
”All captains, listen up!”
”Here!”
”Chen Zhou Nan!”
”Here!”
”You are to gather your troops and guard the West Gate! No one is allowed to leave the city without my orders! If there is a riot, send out your men to deal with it!” commanded Jun Zhan Tian, with a heavy emphasis on ”no one”.
”Yes, sir!”
”Jun Nian Feng!”
”Here!”
”You are in charge of the East Gate!”
”Yes, sir!”
”Zhan Ji Tian!”
”Here!”
”North Gate!”
”Yes, sir!”
