The hot afternoon sun shone down as Ling Chen stood high up on the hill, looking down at the road below. Her position was extremely well hidden, and she could see every single movement on the road. However, those who passed by below would definitely not be able to discover her. Unless they climbed up the cliff and did a thorough search, they would not be able to discover anyone spying on them. In order to search this cliff, they would need at least a thousand men. While the Shui Family's troops were all experts, they definitely didn't have a thousand men.
In at most an hour, the Shui Family's troops from Heavenly Wind would enter Sky Bearing from here. What Ling Chen wanted to know the most was what kind of people would come this time. Would they have the strength to fight against the Tamago people in Sky Bearing?
The moment these people entered the city, the first thing they would do would be to hide a portion of their strength, keeping it as a trump card for future battles. However, Ling Chen was most unwilling to let such a trump card exist. Thus, she wanted to grasp the strength of her enemies at the first opportunity. Besides that, Ling Chen had another motive for coming here.
Beside her was a lady dressed like a maid. Her looks were ordinary, and her steps were heavy, as though she did not know any martial arts. Compared to the peerless beauty of Ling Chen on the cliff, she paled in comparison. Looking around the entire cliff, there was only the two of them. The current highest authority of the Ling House actually came out so casually. Was it because of carelessness?
To those with ulterior motives, this was the best opportunity to assassinate her! If they were able to kill Ling Chen at this moment, the Ling House would definitely be thrown into chaos, and the blow to Ling Tian's power would be unimaginably heavy.
The ground in the distance trembled slightly, and Ling Chen raised her brows, calmly saying, "They are here."
The maid laughed lightly, "But they are not here yet."
Ling Chen smiled warmly, "They will definitely be here, and I believe they will be here very soon. With such a good opportunity, even if it was you or me, we would definitely not give it up!"
The maid laughed lightly, "Mmm, they will definitely be here very soon, and they will definitely be more anxious than you and me. After all, if they miss this opportunity, who knows when they will be able to catch you acting alone. The world is ignorant, how can an obvious opportunity not be a trap?! "
Ling Chen revealed a smile from the bottom of her heart, "Elder sister's plans are so exquisite, are you planning to send troops to the south?"
That maid was actually able to call Ling Chen 'elder sister'!
The maid raised her head, not showing any signs of being overwhelmed. On her ordinary face, that pair of ordinary eyes unexpectedly shot out a dazzling light. If Ling Tian was here, he would definitely be shocked, because this was actually Miss Li Xue! She slowly said, "Going to war without declaring war is ultimately a bad idea. Since we are going to attack, then we have to do it openly, otherwise, it will inevitably give people a reason to attack us. So, having ambition and strength doesn't mean that you have the right conditions. You still need a 'suitable' excuse to send troops. You still need to have a 'suitable' excuse. Whether or not this excuse is made up or not. "
Ling Chen laughed, "What elder sister is really worried about is not the various powers, right? It is the direction of the people's hearts, right? "
Li Xue's eyes flashed with wisdom, and she said, "Since we are going to war, the first thing we have to consider is the hearts of the people. If we are blindly domineering, even if we manage to unify the world, there will still be big and small troubles. What we need to do is to control the hearts of the people in the process of conquering the world. This will require a lot of complicated methods. "
The rumbling sounds gradually got closer, and a large group of cavalrymen gradually approached the path below the cliff. The one riding at the front was the little princess of the Shui Family, Shui QianRou. At this moment, her face was filled with 30% confusion, 30% anxiety, 20% anger, 1% embarrassment, and 1% disappointment.
Beside her, there were three tall horses, each of which had a handsome young man sitting on them. Every single one of them was dressed in bright clothes, and their faces were filled with pride and arrogance. Following behind them, there were more than ten elders in black clothes, silently following behind them. However, every single one of them was constantly scanning the surroundings, with lightning flashing in all directions.
Behind them, there were even some horses, and they were riding on two horses! This was somewhat unexpected. One had to know that the warhorses that the Shui Family required for this trip were all provided by Ling Chen from the Ling family. According to Shui QianRou's intelligence, there were about 500 people, and Ling Chen had prepared 600 horses.
However, everything in front of them showed that there were more than 500 people in the Shui Family. At the very least, there were more than a thousand people!
To think that they would even hide information about their own people. Just what was the Shui Family trying to do?
Looking at the group of Shui Family experts slowly passing by the cliff, looking at the embarrassed looks of the two burly men squeezing onto one horse, a mocking smile appeared on Li Xue's face. She turned to look at Ling Chen and said, "Younger sister really has divine foresight, to think that the Shui Family would not be so simple. From the looks of it, it is indeed so."
"This is not something that I guessed." Ling Chen smiled. "Young noble has already instructed that if something bad is about to happen, we have to prepare twice as much, or even more, to deal with it. Only then will we be able to rest easy! Because, any intelligent opponent would definitely have a trump card hidden up their sleeves. When experts exchange blows, what is important is the trump card! "
A mysterious smile appeared in Li Xue's eyes. "That fellow is probably a little paranoid."
However, her voice was extremely soft, and Ling Chen did not hear it clearly. She could not help but ask, "What did elder sister say?"
"Nothing much." Li Xue's eyes were cold as she looked at the caravan that was slowly passing by. She carefully used her spiritual sense to scan the information of the experts within the caravan. After a long while, she let out a deep sigh, "The Shui Family has really invested quite a bit this time around. There are at least ten XianTian experts within the caravan and there are even two or three of them who wouldn't be below you or Ling Jian in a direct confrontation."
Ling Chen nodded her head slowly, "That's more reasonable. They came from afar to Sky Bearing, and if they did not make sufficient preparations, it would be too much. Why didn't elder sister mention yourself? Don't tell me that elder sister is so disdainful?"
Li Xue snorted hatefully and said with annoyance, "I have already made an agreement with that fellow. If there isn't anything urgent, I will not make a move! … If not for that fellow suddenly going crazy, with just my strength alone, I would have been able to bury the thousand plus experts that the Shui Clan had placed their hopes on! I really don't know what you are talking about. You actually damaged your head! "
"Just your strength alone? You are able to kill over a thousand people below?! " Ling Chen looked at Li Xue with a dumbfounded expression. For the first time, a look of shock could be seen in her calm eyes.
As a martial arts expert, Ling Chen's intuition told her that the group of people below was not to be trifled with. If they were to rely on martial arts alone, even if Ling Tian, Ling Chen, Ling Jian, and Li Xue led all the experts of the First Pavilion to attack, they might not have a high chance of victory. But now, Li Xue actually said that with just her strength alone, she would be able to kill all of them! Even Justice might not have such strength, right?!
After interacting with Li Xue for the past few days, Ling Chen had already understood Li Xue more or less. She naturally knew that Li Xue was not someone who would speak empty words. But just what kind of powerful methods did she have to be able to achieve such a frightening result? This made Ling Chen have the biggest question in her heart. From her words, it seemed like Ling Tian did not allow her to use such a method. Since there was such a powerful method that could kill a large number of enemies and protect herself, why would her young noble not agree to it?
Could it be that there was something else going on?
At the bottom of the cliff, a burst of arrogant laughter sounded out. "... Oh? Is Young Master recuperating? " When this person spoke, he dragged out the word 'Young Master'. Even if one didn't understand the inside story, one could clearly hear the mockery in his words.
Shui QianRou, who was on horseback, turned around and looked at the black robed youth beside her with a face full of anger. "What? Do you have any objections? "
"HAHAHA …" That youth laughed out loud as though there was no one around. "I remember that some unknown person boasted in the Family Elder Assembly that he would definitely flip the entire Heavenly Star Continent upside down, leaving Tamago battered and battered. He would build an unbreakable stronghold for our Shui Family … HAHAHA … why is it that in less than a year, he is bedridden like a lazy dog? Now that the unbreakable stronghold is there, who is the one that is battered and battered?! "This youth's words were extremely sarcastic and his tone was extremely sarcastic. It was an indescribable sense of loathing.
Shui QianRou was angered to the point her face turned green. Just when she was about to speak, another youth laughed out loud. "QianHai, this is something that you don't know. You have to know that the Heavenly Star Continent is filled with heroes and talents. Even the number one silkpants in the Sky Bearing Empire is considered a peerless expert in the eyes of Young Master and his sister. Furthermore, there are many other silkpants who are neither big nor small. Even if all of our Shui Family were to come over, it would still be extremely difficult. It is already not easy for Young Master and little sister Rou to survive on this land and preserve the lineage of our Shui Family. You don't have to be too harsh on them. This is not good and will affect the unity of our family. "
This person's words were full of sarcasm. His tone was strange, sometimes high and sometimes low, and his cadence was like singing. However, the smile on his face that never disappeared was filled with an indescribable disdain.
"So that's the case!" The last youth on horseback said with an enlightened tone. "If that's the case, Young Master and his sister have done a great service for our Shui Family! Who in the Shui Family would be able to match up to such a feat? Respect! Respect! Truly respect! They are indeed worthy of being the son and daughter of our Family Head. They are indeed worthy of being called the 'Twin Walls of Heavenly Wind'! My two brothers, we have to learn from them properly.
