He wasn't the only one who was trembling. The guards on the city wall also felt a chill in their hearts.
The city was in chaos. None of the guards on the eastern city wall turned around to look. Instead, they stared at the group of people outside the city, all of them extremely nervous.
Why was the defense of the Heavenly Street's guards so weak? Once there was an invasion, it was a matter of everyone's lives and property. All the merchants in the city had the responsibility to defend against the enemy. How strong was this force? But facing the attack of the Heavenly Court, which merchant in the city dared to act recklessly? No one was going to help the Heavenly Street guards. Were they going to defend against the group of people outside?
Gou Yue, who had ascended the loft at the top of the city wall and was the first to walk to a window to look out of the sealed city, had a carefree expression on his face. However, the instant his gaze swept downwards, his pupils suddenly constricted. He stopped in front of the window and narrowed his eyes as he stared fixedly at the troops outside.
Mei Niang, who had concealed her identity and walked to the window beside Gou Yue, also froze. Her beautiful eyes behind the veil couldn't move.
Tang Henian led Kou Wenlan to the window and glanced out. The two of them both froze. Tang Henian's lips tightened. Kou Wenlan's eyes widened.
Duan Hong walked to another window and glanced out of the city. His eyes suddenly narrowed.
Zuo Er walked to the window and tilted her head to look out. However, her eyes instantly froze and her body subconsciously turned to face the outside of the city.
Guang Mei 'er, Hao Qingyan, Kou Wenlu, and Ying Yue were chatting and laughing as they walked over. However, the people in front of the window did not move at all. It was as if they had turned a deaf ear to the noisy women.
Of course, Ying Yue was relatively quiet. She only followed behind the three women. She seemed to be very quiet because she knew her purpose for coming here. On the other hand, the three women in front seemed to have a different kind of interest in meeting in a foreign land without knowing anything. They were chattering, whispering, and laughing. They were discussing where to go to play later.
However, the three of them walked to an empty window and looked out. The laughter instantly stopped. All of them opened their mouths slightly and their eyes froze. They were stunned.
Finally, Ying Yue slowly walked to the side of the three of them. She lowered her head slightly and did not look out the window. However, she quickly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Why was the room suddenly so quiet?
She raised her head to look at the group of people standing by the window, then slowly turned her head to look at the city below. His heart suddenly shrank, as if his heart had stopped beating. He stared blankly at the group of people brimming with murderous intent.
The people from the four clans walked to the windows and were all frozen in place. The moment they looked at the group of people outside the city, all of them seemed to have been struck by lightning and froze at the windows.
An untidy group of people gathered outside the city. They appeared to be in a mess, and even looked a little embarrassed, as if they were in a sorry state.
However, this seemingly disheveled group of people from the Heavenly Court gave everyone an extremely shocking visual impact.
Blue tiger flags, eagle flags of various colors, and wolf flags of various colors fluttered in the wind. After being dyed black and brown with blood, they fluttered in the wind. It even fluttered in tatters.
The people under the various flags did not take off their armor. Their armor was stained with dried blood. Some were missing an arm, some were missing a leg, and some were blind in one eye. There was almost no one who was unscathed. Almost everyone was injured, but all of them stubbornly stood there.
The mottled bodies that were mixed with blood and dirt looked like they had crawled out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Those people's faces were covered in blood, and many of them had traces of tears on their faces. It was clear that they had been crying. The tears washed away the blood stains and dried up on their faces. The shock they brought to the people in front of the windows was indescribable.
What could make so many cultivators cry? What could make a group of people who were not afraid of death cry? What kind of despair had these people experienced?
The people in the attic finally understood how the fifty thousand men had defeated the one million elites they had heard had come about. It was how it had come about. They finally knew why they were so shocked when they saw this group of people. It was because they were standing in front of them. A group of people who had crawled out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
However, it was difficult for them to understand why these people's eyes were burning with anger. Each of them looked at the top of the city wall with grief and indignation. The burning anger in their eyes seemed to want to destroy the city uncontrollably.
Was this group of people who had caused such a huge panic in the city? Everyone suddenly felt that it was only natural.
The various flags were still fluttering in the wind. Under the flags, Miao Yi stood in front of the army of ten thousand people. He was dressed in red armor and closed his eyes, suppressing the anger in his heart. He waited quietly for the reply from the top of the city wall and for the other party to open the city gates.
"Proud soldiers and fierce generals!" Zuo 'er stared at the people outside the city from the window and slowly said. It was unclear whether she was praising or praising them.
Her words brought Mei Niang back to her senses. She had seen many of Heavenly King Guang's subordinates, and even more. However, seeing this group of people with her own eyes today gave her an unprecedented shock. Especially the angry eyes of this group of people, it actually made her a little afraid.
There were some things that she didn't understand. Many people didn't understand. An unprecedented tempering, an unprecedented baptism of life and death, made something deeply engraved in these people's bones, making them exude a different kind of aura.
Behind the veil, Mei Niang's gaze slowly fell from the group of people to Miao Yi, who stood at the front. She secretly bit her lip. Even she understood why Niu Youde could lead fifty thousand troops to defeat a million elites, and why the higher-ups of several families had personally come to recruit Niu Youde. If this kind of person really became her son-in-law, her position in the manor would be unshakable in the future. Naturally, her daughter's status would also rise.
At this moment, she made up her mind. No matter what, she had to snatch this son-in-law. Her daughter had to marry him whether she wanted to or not!
Mei Niang slowly tilted her head to look at Gou Yue, and transmitted her voice to confirm, "That person at the front is Niu Youde?"
Gou Yue didn't answer. Instead, he said word by word, "Truly a master of tigers and wolves!" Then he reacted and nodded slightly to Mei Niang, transmitting his voice, "This old servant has never seen him before. It should be him. What does the Heavenly Empress think of this son-in-law? Is he to your liking? "
Mei Niang replied, "Full of heroic spirit, a true hero. I am very satisfied. I can make the decision on Mei 'er's behalf. I ask the Steward to do his best to bring them together!"
"As long as the Princess is satisfied, this old servant will do his best!" Gou Yue replied.
Kou Wenlan also recovered after a while, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
In the past, no matter how much trouble Miao Yi caused, in his heart, he didn't think he was worse than Miao Yi. In his heart, he still felt a sense of superiority because of his good upbringing. But today, after seeing this group of people led by Miao Yi, he felt the gap between him and Miao Yi. He couldn't lead such a group of people.
"The one standing at the front is Niu Youde." Kou Wenlan turned to Tang Henian and transmitted his voice over.
Standing with his hands behind his back, Tang Henian nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew. His gaze on Miao Yi flickered slightly.
"Is that Niu Youde in front?" Guang Mei 'er shifted her gaze away from Miao Yi's face and softly asked her sisters beside her.
She couldn't tell what she was feeling. On one hand, she recalled her mother telling her to marry Niu Youde, but on the other hand, she was a little afraid of this group of people. She had never seen such a group of people by her father's side before. In short, they gave off a very strong feeling.
Ying Yue recognized them, but she didn't answer. She looked down with a complicated expression. 'Are these the people who fought against the Ying Family at the Imperial Garden all those years ago?'
Hao Qingyan shook her head to indicate that she didn't know. Kou Wenlu knew that Kou Wenlan knew, so she transmitted her voice over to ask. After receiving a reply, she nodded and said, "That's him."
Meanwhile, Miao Yi, who had been waiting for a while with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. With a wave of his hand, he grabbed the Inversed-Scales Spear out of thin air and abruptly pointed it at the top of the city walls. "I'll say it one more time. Open the city gates!"
The dumbfounded guards on top of the city walls instinctively took a step back.
"Ah …" Fang Liheng, who had been dumbfounded for a while, suddenly realized something. With a miserable expression, he said, "Lord Niu, you still haven't replied to me. Why do you insist on entering the city?"
Miao Yi said in a deep voice, "Our troops are passing by to quell a rebellion. Our brothers have suffered heavy casualties, and we have received orders to enter Heaven Avenue to rest. Why are you stopping us? Are we not qualified to enter Heaven Avenue?"
'Quelling a rebellion? Quelling a ghost's rebellion! 'You and Chu Zishan were clearly fighting over a woman!'
Fang Liheng cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he politely cupped his fists and said, "Lord Niu, I'm afraid that a small disturbance within the city will not be beneficial for your troops to rest. Why don't you set up camp outside the city? If you need anything, the guards can purchase it for you. What do you think?"
"Disturbance?" Miao Yi scoffed. "Who is so bold as to cause trouble in Heaven Avenue?! Since my troops have seen it, how can we just sit back and do nothing? Open the city gates and let us in to quell the disturbance! "
Fang Liheng cupped his fists again. "There's no need to trouble yourself. The guards will settle down on their own. Milord, I think it's better for our brothers to set up camp and rest early."
Miao Yi pointed the tip of his spear at the sealed city gates. 'I can't be bothered with him?? Gather? Send the Emperor's Orifice to Yao Mengyi's Seniority? Ke Li? Knock on the Bull's Head? '
Everyone on the city walls paled in shock. 'This is too arrogant. How dare he give the order to attack the city in front of everyone. Are you even a member of the Heavenly Court?'
Everyone in the loft looked at each other in dismay.
But no one doubted Miao Yi's words. This madman had even killed the Yu Ding Domain's Lieutenant and massacred hundreds of thousands of the Yu Ding Domain's million elites. He even dared to cause trouble during the Celestial Emperor's wedding ceremony. What was the point of attacking the city?
Fang Liheng said nervously, "Lord Niu, please calm down. I was ordered to seal the city gates. I can't make the decision to open the gates. Can you give me some time to go back and report to the Grand Commander?"
'Pu!' Miao Yi stabbed the spear in his hand into the ground and said sternly, "I'll give you the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn. After that, if the city gates don't open, I will massacre the entire city!"
Mu Yulian, who was behind him, immediately took out an incense stick and snapped it in front of everyone. She lit the broken incense stick and threw it into the ground. The incense stick flickered in the wind. With the help of the wind, it burned a little faster.
Massacre the city!
