Enemies killed! Captives killed! Even their own people were killed!
Looking at the ground littered with corpses, the Thousand Lake Prefecture troops felt their scalps go numb and their faces turn pale. Today, they finally understood what it meant to treat human life like grass, to kill without mercy, and to kill those who disobeyed orders!
That was not the end! Zhao Fei then said coldly, "Army Supervisors, is there anyone who retreated in fear, failed to carry out their tasks, or wavered the morale of the troops? Give me your names! "
There were too many of them. Zhao Fei's trusted subordinates took out jade archives and reported their names. Those whose names were called stepped forward with ashen faces.
There were also some who immediately turned their mounts around and fled the moment their names were called. Zhao Fei tossed the Spirit Illusion Greatsword into the air. One turned into ten, ten turned into a hundred, and a hundred turned into a million.
Those who were fleeing looked at the densely packed greatsword shadows in all directions. Their faces were filled with despair as they screamed and waved their spears wildly.
Pu! Hot blood spurted out of their bodies as their heads flew off and their mangled bodies fell off their mounts.
The Spirit Illusion Greatsword returned to its original form and returned to Zhao Fei's storage ring. Everyone trembled in fear. Those whose names were called out no longer dared to flee. All of them obediently stepped forward to await their punishment!
Before long, more than two hundred people stepped forward. These were the ones who had committed serious crimes. Otherwise, there would be far more. After all, they couldn't just kill everyone.
"Tie them up!" Zhao Fei shouted.
The two hundred people heaved a sigh of relief. So be it. As long as they didn't die, everything was fine. They were separated from their mounts, stripped of their weapons, and all of them were tied up tightly.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Fei heartlessly spat out a single word that struck everyone like a bolt of lightning. "Kill!"
He didn't order his trusted subordinates to do it, but instead, he ordered the troops to kill their own comrades.
Those who were tied up screamed in pain. Some knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, some were crying in fear, and some were cursing Zhao Fei for dying a horrible death.
The troops hesitated. Zhao Fei shouted coldly, "Are you trying to disobey orders?"
It was better for others to die than for themselves! A group of people gritted their teeth and charged forward. They raised their knives and slaughtered their helpless comrades. Cries of pain rang out.
After a while, a river of blood appeared on the ground, and the smell of blood permeated the air. More than two hundred men from Thousand Lake Manor were captured, and not a single one of them was spared. They were all killed, which was more than the number of captives they had killed!
The faces of the executors were pale. He was so shocked that his soul almost left his body. Today, he finally understood the consequences of disobeying orders. Military orders on the battlefield were not child's play. Only now did he truly feel that he was participating in a war.
Zhao Fei narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing through them. He observed the reactions of his subordinates.
Regardless of whether it was Zhao Fei, Miao Yi, or Sikong Wuwei, it was obvious that they had long since disliked their subordinates. When it was inconvenient for them to make a move, they had endured it. But now that they had made a move, not a single one of them showed mercy. All of them took the opportunity to kill and reorganize their subordinates. Actually, from the moment the forces of the three Manors had set out, it was destined that it would not be as simple as killing Chang Zhijiu to avenge Qi Xiuhong.
The three of them felt that it was simply intolerable for such a group of people to survive in the cultivation world! It wasn't easy for the three of them to return alive from the Sea of Constellations, and they all felt a sense of crisis. They didn't believe that they could continue living like this. They didn't want to lose their lives in the hands of this bunch of trash one day...
The injured Chen Fei chased after the fleeing enemies all the way to the border between Raincloud Manor and Pure Dream Manor. Without an official decree, he didn't dare to lead a large force to Pure Dream Manor's territory. He could only sigh as he watched the fleeing enemies.
However, as soon as he turned around, he ran into Advisor Han Chunfeng, two Advisors from Mulberry Cloud Manor, and over two hundred riders. Raincloud Manor was littered with rivers and lakes. Perhaps it was due to the terrain, but there weren't many escape routes available. It wasn't surprising that they ran into each other.
Chen Fei didn't know why they were here either. He was easily tricked by Han Chunfeng into letting them go. When he turned around and saw Mu Tailai leading a large force in pursuit, Chen Fei realized that he had been tricked and was furious. Together with Mu Tailai's forces, nearly seven hundred of them charged straight into Pure Dream Manor's territory.
The fleeing Han Chunfeng and the others didn't dare to linger in a small place like Pure Dream Manor. They ran all the way to Pure Dream Manor's territory with the remaining forces of Tranquil Sun Manor.
So many people had arrived in such a short time. When they arrived at the mountain gates, Pure Dream Manor realized that none of the mountains or caves they had passed through earlier had sent word to them. It was clear to see how lax the defenses here were.
Even with so many people approaching, the cultivators guarding the mountain gates weren't nervous at all. Two of them stood majestically at the mountain gates, holding back over two hundred people. They shouted, "Who are you?!"
They explained the situation and requested to be notified. However, the cultivators guarding the gate didn't believe them, so they asked them to wait while they went back to report the situation.
Inside the Pure Dream Manor's conference hall, Han Chunfeng and the others were reprimanding Miao Yi's group for their reckless behavior as Manor Head Xu Huihuang, as well as a group of Advisors and Deacons!
The Pure Dream Manor members, who were still a little skeptical earlier, were completely shocked.
Pa! Seated on his throne, Manor Head Xu Huihuang slammed the armrest and stood up, bellowing, "What nonsense! What are they trying to do? Do they really think they're invincible just because they came back from the Sea of Constellations? "
One of the Advisors stepped forward and said, "Manor Head, we must report this matter to the Hall Master as soon as possible and punish them severely!"
The other Advisor also stepped forward and cupped his fists, saying, "Manor Head! Our Pure Dream Manor is right next to his Raincloud Manor. If we allow him to do as he pleases and embolden him, we'll be in big trouble! I suggest that we mobilize our forces to the border of Raincloud Manor and intimidate them. We'll let them know that our Pure Dream Manor is not to be trifled with like Tranquil Sun Manor. "
The last Advisor also stepped forward and cupped his fists in agreement, saying, "Those are good words. We cannot allow Miao Yi to do as he pleases!"
Xu Huihuang nodded. "Alright! Let's do that! "
However, just as he took out his jade archive and was about to write down the order to mobilize his forces, the sound of galloping hooves could be heard approaching from afar. It was obvious that there were quite a few of them.
Xu Huihuang and the others were taken aback. They quickly rushed out of the hall to take a look, only to see a large group of troops rapidly approaching. Without any hesitation, they split into two groups and circled around to surround Pure Dream Manor.
When Han Chunfeng saw who it was, his expression changed drastically. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that Raincloud Manor would turn around and attack Pure Dream Manor. Earlier, when he saw Chen Fei chasing after them all the way to the border of Pure Dream Manor, he thought that he would be safe once he reached Pure Dream Manor. Now that his dreams were shattered, he immediately shouted, "Manor Head Xu, Miao Yi's forces are here!"
Even an idiot could tell that this wasn't a peaceful move. Xu Huihuang immediately invoked his arts and shouted, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! "
The entire area was immediately thrown into chaos. Everyone frantically ran around looking for their mounts. By the time they were ready, the invading forces had already surrounded the area, and they were quickly squeezed into a single area.
The seven hundred men from Raincloud Manor had yet to experience the baptism of battle, but after experiencing the torment earlier, at least they were no longer in a daze, as if they were daydreaming. They were already mentally prepared for battle, and their morale was clearly superior to that of Pure Dream Manor's forces. On top of that, they had the advantage in numbers, and they were able to slowly suppress the panicked Raincloud Manor forces.
Even Xu Huihuang's expression changed. He felt that the enemy's aura was incredibly ferocious. Together with his subordinates, those who had fled here, and a group of panicked handmaidens, nearly four hundred men were squeezed together as they retreated.
It wasn't until they were no longer able to squeeze any further that Xu Huihuang raised his saber and bellowed, "Answer me! Why are you attacking my Pure Dream Manor?!"
The encirclement parted to reveal Mu Tailai and Chen Fei. In terms of position, Mu Tailai was currently the commander, while Chen Fei was the deputy.
This was the first time Mu Tailai had led such a large force to attack Tranquil Sun Manor. Not only had he gained some confidence after personally killing a few people in Tranquil Sun Manor, but now that he was leading such a large army, he was able to scare a Manor Head so badly that even his face paled. A sense of pride welled up in his heart, and he realized that this feeling was much more justified than just bootlicking. It was as if he had even straightened his back!
Mu Tailai glanced disdainfully at the encirclement and said, "Under the orders of the Manor Head of Raincloud Manor, we are here to hunt down the traitors! Manor Head Xu, we do not wish to offend you, but you better hand over the traitors of Raincloud Manor. Otherwise, when Manor Head Miao arrives personally, things will get messy. "
As he said this, he waved his hand and shot out a jade archive. Xu Huihuang caught it and took a look, only to see Miao Yi's blatant threat. He stated that Tranquil Sun Manor was harboring Raincloud Manor's traitors and refused to hand them over. He also stated that Miao Yi had already led his army to raze Tranquil Sun Manor to the ground and took Chang Zijiu's life. If Pure Dream Manor also wished to harbor Raincloud Manor's traitors, then Tranquil Sun Manor would be the next example!
After hearing Han Chunfeng's words, Xu Huihuang naturally knew that she was spouting nonsense. It was obvious that Thousand Lake Manor, Raincloud Manor, and Mulberry Cloud Manor had joined forces to attack Tranquil Sun Manor. All that bullshit about harboring traitors was just an excuse. It was obvious that Miao Yi was making up this excuse to deal with him.
Xu Huihuang didn't want to cause any trouble either. He believed that if Raincloud Manor had quietly informed him, he would have chased Han Chunfeng and the others out and let them do whatever they wanted with them. But now that they had surrounded him with so many soldiers, how could they possibly force him to hand them over? 'If I were to hand them over just like that, where would my reputation go?'
However, this was all wishful thinking on his part. If Miao Yi hadn't threatened him with force, Mu Lai probably wouldn't have obediently handed them over. After all, Mu Lai didn't like Miao Yi's way of attacking others at the slightest provocation. Thus, it was quite possible that he would hand them over to Suppressing Tenth Hall.
Meanwhile, Miao Yi was fighting for time with Suppressing Tenth Hall. How could he possibly play games with Mu Lai?
"Do you know the consequences of your actions?" Xu Huihuang bellowed.
Mu Tailai replied, "That's not something for me to worry about. All I know is that if Manor Head Xu doesn't hand them over, then you will have to bear the consequences yourself!"
Suddenly, the sound of galloping came from afar. Miao Yi had already arrived with Qian 'Er and Xue' Er in tow. In order to fight for time with Suppressing Tenth Hall, the three of them had relied on their superior speed to shake off the troops behind them and arrive first.
The encirclement parted, allowing the three of them to pass through. Miao Yi swept his gaze across the encirclement, then tilted his head and asked, "What's going on?"
Mu Tailai immediately reported the situation to Miao Yi. Miao Yi immediately pointed at Xu Huihuang and shouted, "Xu Huihuang! What are you trying to do by harboring a traitor of our Manor? Are you trying to sow discord behind our backs? "
Xu Huihuang shouted back, "Are you Manor Head Miao Yi? You can't say things like that. It was your men who came here on their own. How can you say you're trying to sow discord?! "
