1896: Precisely our doing! (2/2)
The whole distance was covered in not more than a few tens of breaths of time before it was finished. Before they could wait for the souls of the Southern Sky vanguard troops to come back, the striking enemies had already disappeared without a trace.
They only left behind anguished wailing all over, and painful groans could be heard everywhere, as well as the sound of grinding teeth and cursing…
The Southern Sky’s vanguard forces consisted of five hundred thousand troops altogether. In just this short short time, a little less than half of their troop was destroyed.
The remaining infantry, although sizeable, had already been reduced to a mob of crows. This was because the capable high level officers had been damaged by these seven, and the command system was powerless and comprehensively paralyzed.
“Who did this!”
The second day…
The Southern Sky’s main force follow-up army traveled with all haste to hurriedly arrive. A conspicuous and miserable scene greeted them. All over, the Southern Sky forces had a dangerous and crazy aura without exception. In hearing how the army was ruined, and the description of how the general was defeated, almost everyone without question locked onto a certain set of heroes: the Seven Golden Lotuses!
Seven directions, lotus flower blooming.
Besides the Seven Golden Lotuses, one might as well ask who additionally would have this kind of capability?
The Southern Sky Commander in Chief Lu Buyi seethed in anger. While he arranged the camp, he rearranged and constructed the destroyed vanguard forces. Afterwards, he brought ten of his expert subordinates to rush into the Limitless Ocean as fast as lightning.
“Seven Golden Lotuses! Come out and speak with me!”
Lu Buyi let out a long hiss, shaking the nine layers.
Lu Buyi was already the big commander of the Southern Sky. Besides that, he was also a major governmental figure in the Southern Sky, and had countless capable people at present. His cultivation base had already arrived at Undead Stage peak, and in a one on one fight he was in no way inferior to any one of the Seven Golden Lotuses. He moved forward in his hate to a very dangerous place, straight towards the high leveled Ye Family forces!
Far away, a golden light suddenly flashed, after which a small crack abruptly split open in space. It abruptly opened like a fan door, and in the next moment a party of seven people filed out from inside that space gate.
“As it turns out it is Elder Brother Lu, we are honored by your presence. Excuse us for not coming out to meet you, please don’t blame us for lacking in manners.”
Guan Shanyao humbly smiled, his complexion looking quite amiable.
“Guan Shanyao!” Lu Buyi angrily said. “Everyone was also regarded as old friends at one time. In front of the public don’t say fake words and rely on your status. You unexpectedly carried out a surprise attack on common troops. You Seven Golden Lotuses still don’t want any bit of face?”
One of the Seven Lotuses opposite him’s saintly complexion suddenly deepened, as he indifferently said, “Lu Buyi, everyone appearing now in this position returned thus, we precisely remembered the friendly relations of the past. We heard that you came, and approached you to come speak. With this kind of attitude, in the end who is the one that is beneath one’s dignity and not wanting any face?!”
Lu Buyi angrily said, “Good, good, good. What a good holding onto reasonable words. You seven olds ceaselessly spite your identities and took action to massacre my five hundred thousand troop vanguard. I just simply used a tone of voice that was unpleasant and you’re then using this as a pretext to denounce me. Is this seriously someone with good manners?”
Yue Youyou faintly said, “Apparently you are of the firm opinion that this so-called surprise attack was precisely our doing?”
Lu Buyi was agitatedly indignant. “Seven people journey together, a lotus flower blooming. IF it isn’t you, don’t tell me that it could still be me? A man of character dares to act and dares to accept the consequences. It’s without meaning to quibble word for word, to dare to act and fear to accept the consequences!”
The Seven Golden Lotuses heard this tone of his, which was overbearing and allowing no explanation. In their minds, they couldn’t help but begin to have anger bubble up. The continuously reticent and taciturn Song Poxiao had a severe color spark up in his eyes. He lifted his head and glared, saying, “Lu Buyi, you are overbearing like this, presumably you are determined that this matter was precisely our doing. Again trying to explain has no usefulness…”
He paused a moment, and then unyieldingly said, “Just with this, your mouth says this matter is precisely our doing! How are you going to deal with it?”
