The light drizzle had already turned into a torrential downpour.
"Gongzi, your armor!"
Two Wang Clan guards kneeled on the ground, one on the left and one on the right, and in their hands, they carried Wang Chong's armor forged from Deep Sea Xuan Metal.
Behind them were the guards of Deflecting Blade Manor, their backs ramrod straight. The cavalrymen of the Zhuang Clan, the Steel Guards of the Chi Clan, the experts of the Wang Clan, the retired Imperial Guards … All of the guards and members of the Deflecting Blade Manor had rushed over.
The atmosphere was cold and somber. Despite the torrential rain pouring down on their bodies and faces, no one moved in the slightest.
"Wang Chong, what's going on?"
The one who spoke was Marchioness Yi. With a red-tasseled spear sheathed on her back, she rode on a rouge steed and strode out of the crowd with a grim expression. She had received the news from Vermilion Bird Peak and rushed over with her men.
She was good friends with Wang Chong's second sister, so she understood Wang Chong the best. A mobilization like this was definitely not normal.
"Marchioness Yi, do you trust me?"
Wang Chong didn't answer her directly.
"Of course! If I didn't trust you, do you think I would have rushed over? "
Marchioness Yi retorted furiously.
"What if I were to kill someone? Would you trust me unreservedly? "
Wang Chong turned around and asked.
Marchioness Yi was taken aback. Wang Chong's face was cold and emotionless. His voice was calm, but the cold killing intent hidden beneath the surface made even Marchioness Yi tremble.
Marchioness Yi had known Wang Chong for a long time, but she had never seen Wang Chong in such a state.
"I trust you!"
Marchioness Yi suddenly smiled, but her voice was exceptionally resolute.
She didn't know why Wang Chong mobilized the entire Deflecting Blade Manor, and she didn't know who he was going to kill. But Marchioness Yi believed that Wang Chong wasn't someone who would kill the innocent!
If Wang Chong wanted to kill someone, then that person must have a reason to die. Marchioness Yi's choice was to believe, not doubt.
"… Tell me, who do you want to kill? For you to hate him so much, he must not be an ordinary person. Tell me, I'll help you kill him! "
Marchioness Yi swung her spear calmly and confidently.
The torrential rain struck against his armor, producing metallic clanging sounds. Looking at Marchioness Yi before him, Wang Chong suddenly smiled.
After more than a year of hard work, everything had paid off!
As long as they were in Deflecting Blade Manor, they would all turn up.
No one asked why, and no one asked what he was doing. Just because of a single order from him, these people all came.
Just like Marchioness Yi, she trusted him for no reason at all.
At that moment, Wang Chong was touched and extremely proud!
"Let's move out!"
Donning the Deep Sea Xuan Metal armor and helmet, Wang Chong's black cloak sliced through the rain like a sharp blade. Leading the way, Wang Chong led the group forward.
Three li later, yet another wave of steel rushed over amidst the rain. Zhao Jingdian, Sun Zhiming, Chen Burang, Zhuang Zhengping, Chi Weisi … and the Imperial Army instructors who were in charge of instructing the spirit vein braved the heavy rain to catch up.
"Gongzi, where are we heading to?"
Zhao Jingdian urged his steed to catch up.
Zhao Jingdian's face was grim. In this period of time, his aura had grown stronger and stronger. He had already crossed the threshold of True Martial realm.
A black Halo of Thorns shot out from under the feet of the sturdy warhorse he was riding. It vibrated in the void and produced a series of metallic roars.
"Do you know where the Eagle is?"
Wang Chong did not answer. Instead, he turned to The Eagle, his expression cold and somber.
"I've already investigated. It's in the Drunken Sparrow restaurant on Qiaolong Street."
The Eagle sternly said.
In this period of time, he had sent out countless sparrows and eagles, turning the entire capital into his eyes and ears. This amount of time was more than enough for him to investigate the location of the incident.
"Let's go! Surround that place! I don't want a single person to escape! "
"Yes, Gongzi!"
… …
At the city gate, the three forces finally converged into a flood. The guards of the Wang Clan, the guards of Wang Chong's Big Uncle Wang Gen's residence, and the experts dispatched by the various great clans … all of them were lined up in orderly ranks, silently waiting.
Amidst the crowd, Luo Tong, who came from the King Song Residence, stood out from the crowd. He was a stalwart figure.
This was not the first time Wang Chong had worked with Luo Tong. Even in the eyes of Wang Chong's last life, this armored and towering master archer from The King of Song's Residence was considered one of the best master archers.
Wang Chong said nothing, only nodded, and then brushed past Luo Tong and charged into the capital.
The torrential rain was getting heavier and heavier, dark clouds churning in the sky. Blazing bolts of lightning were constantly hacking through the sky like giant axes.
As the lightning flashed by, the world instantly became as bright as day.
The rain, the armor, the roof tiles … everything reflected the light of the lightning, and the howling of the wind, the peals of thunder, and the pitter-patter of the rain became one.
There were very few people on the streets, and only the people on the buildings and roof tiles could be seen sneaking around. These were spies from the various great clans of the capital.
But at this time, Wang Chong had no time to pay attention to him.
The further he got into the city and the closer he got to Qiaolong Street, the tighter Wang Chong's fists clenched, his eyes turning red.
Countless scenes appeared in his mind. The shouts, the sounds of fighting, the clashing of swords … all of them echoed in his ears, accompanied by the crimson hue.
The memories of his last life seemed to flow uncontrollably through his mind.
No one understood better than him what that name in Drunken Sparrow restaurant signified. This was a calamity for the entire Central Plains.
When that person swept down from Youzhou in the northeast, the entire Central Plains would become a sea of blood and mountains of corpses until all things withered and vanished into nothingness.
His parents, his cousin, his aunt … Zhao Jingdian, the countless comrades who had fought alongside him, the seniors who had entrusted the entire Central Plains to him, and the countless common people … all of them had died because of this person.
In his last life, when all this had happened, the Wang Clan had declined and Wang Chong was still wandering the lands. Compared to that person who commanded the three Regional Commanders and had an incomparably glorious status, Wang Chong was just an insignificant descendant of a declining clan.
Wang Chong would never forget the despair he felt when his loved ones left him.
What he had failed to do in his last life, he would definitely do in this life.
"An Yaluoshan, I want you dead! — "
Surging killing intent surged out of his heart, distorting even the air around him.
Rumble! In the next moment, Wang Chong led the flood of steel behind him forward.
Qiaolong Street was as calm as water, with only a string of red lanterns swaying in the rain under the eaves. The raindrops slapped against the lanterns.
"Surround this place! Not a single one of them is allowed to escape!"
In a flash, this peace was completely shattered.
Countless armored cavalry howled out, surrounding Drunken Sparrow Restaurant tightly in the torrential rain. Swooshswooshswoosh! Figures leaped into the air and landed on the surrounding roof tiles.
Amidst the creaking sounds, the bowstrings were pulled back. Clusters of sharp arrowheads flickered with cold light as they aimed at the luxurious Drunken Sparrow Restaurant at the center from all directions.
Marchioness Yi, Zhao Jingdian, Wei Anfang, Sun Zhiming, Chen Burang, Zhuang Zhengping, Chi Weisi … everyone was staring at Drunken Sparrow restaurant.
The air exuded an icy and terrifying killing intent.
At this moment, everyone knew that the person Wang Chong hated so much and needed to kill was in this restaurant.
For no reason at all, everyone felt a killing intent rise in their hearts.
They had known Wang Chong for so long, and Wang Chong had never been the sort of person to kill the innocent. He had also rarely felt such loathing for a person.
Even when Abutong had provoked him and injured Chen Burang, Wang Chong had only taught him a lesson. In the end, he had still let him go.
If a person could make Wang Chong feel such hatred and enmity, then that person deserved to die!
"Boom!"
In the next moment, amidst a huge rumble, a foot containing terrifying power kicked the doors of Drunken Sparrow Restaurant, sending the two heavy doors flying in.
