"Marquis!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the plaza, quickly attracting Wang Chong's attention. The people of Wushang Village would never call him Marquis. Those who would call him Marquis and know his identity were …
"Marquis, it's General Li and the others!"
A cry of surprise came from behind. Gao Feng, Nie Yan, and a dozen soldiers all looked in the same direction in the plaza.
Following the direction of the voice, Wang Chong saw a familiar figure on the other side of the plaza. He looked past the villagers of Wushang Village. His two-meter-tall body was like an iron tower as he stood on the plaza, emitting a powerful aura.
The giant longsword in the man's hand was as tall as a person, and it looked incomparably terrifying.
Even in the territory of Wushang Village, this person stood out like a crane among chickens and was extremely eye-catching. No one could block his radiance. Although all the people of Wushang Village had surrounded him, they were separated by a few meters, clearly showing their fear of this giant general!
Invincible Great General, Li Siye!
After losing contact with him for many days, Wang Chong finally saw his most beloved general deep in the heart of Wushang Village. His breathing was very messy, and there were many wounds on his body, but his body was still so straight and tall, like a majestic mountain range. It was as if as long as he didn't want to fall, nothing in this world could defeat him.
"General Li! — — "
Gao Feng and Nie Feng had expressions of unease and worry when they saw Li Siye. They hurriedly rushed toward the plaza.
Wang Chong didn't stop them, nor did he hurry to follow them. Instead, he frowned slightly.
Li Siye's ability was unquestionable!
The Invincible Great General was enough to prove his ability. Even when he was insignificant, this sort of person was not someone an ordinary person could compare to. Moreover, after his experience in the war of the southwest, Li Siye had become even steadier, more dependable, and stronger.
This was also why Wang Chong was willing to give him the mission of subduing the Wushang people.
But Wang Chong had said that the goal of this mission was to subdue and subdue the people of Wushang, not to kill or suppress them. Thus, he was strictly forbidden from using weapons. But now, Li Siye had not only used the unstoppable WuZi Steel weapon that Wang Chong had forged for him, his body was also covered in wounds and his aura was in disarray!
Wang Chong truly found it hard to imagine just what sort of opponent could force Li Siye, who was using all his strength with his WuZi Steel weapon, into such a state?!
It had to be known that the last time Li Siye had used his full strength, he had singlehandedly exterminated the Black Dragon Bandit, which had occupied the Silk Road and had established its base in Qixi. Even its boss, Black Dragon Zhao, had been killed.
But now, Li Siye was being suppressed.
Whoosh!
With a wave of his robe, Wang Chong immediately strode toward the plaza. There was no one around to stop him. Wang Chong was the person the clan leader wanted to see, so no one would try to cause trouble at a time like this.
"Marquis!"
Surrounded by Wushang people, Li Siye held his sword with both hands. His resolute face was slightly haggard, and his mountainous physique slightly trembled as he breathed. It was clear that he had consumed a great deal of energy.
Wang Chong solemnly nodded, his gaze quickly falling on the ground around Li Siye.
Li Siye had led a group of twenty-some people, but now only seven or eight were lying around him, heavily injured. The rest had all disappeared. Gao Feng and Nie Yan had rushed over and were already using the medicine of the army to treat them, but it was clear that their injuries were not light.
"Marquis!"
Upon seeing Wang Chong, one soldier after another opened their eyes and called out in low voices, expressions of extreme pain on their faces.
Wang Chong nodded and waved his hand, indicating that they should rest.
"Marquis, I'm sorry. I did my best. But the mission still failed. For now, I can only protect them. "
Li Siye's face was covered in shame, and for the first time, he lowered his proud head.
This mission had been far more difficult than he had imagined.
Li Siye had never expected that there would be so many rare experts hidden in such a small, inconspicuous village in the northwest. This trifling expedition mission was even more difficult than the war of the southwest against the more than five hundred thousand soldiers of the Mengshe – Ü-Tsang army.
"I know. I don't blame you. Leave the rest to me! "
Wang Chong waved his hand.
That calamity in his memories had not yet occurred, and Wushang Village had not yet been attacked by the otherworldly invaders. This was still that conservative and xenophobic village, but it was still a legend. Wang Chong had to admit that his thinking had been too simple.
The Wushang Cavalry, hailed as the future number one force in the world, were not so easy to subdue.
I still have to do it myself!
Wang Chong mentally sighed and turned his head to face Li Siye.
In his last life, he had been the one who had personally subdued the Wushang Cavalry. In this life, he would probably have to do it himself! It seemed like even a future Invincible Great General like Li Siye would not be able to replace him!
"You are the Young Marquis that this warrior speaks of?"
Before Wang Chong could speak, an elderly and deep voice rang out in his ear. Wang Chong opened his eyes and saw that across from Li Siye were a group of stern-faced, plain-robed elders.
These elders were all forty or fifty years old, and some of them had gray hair at their temples. They were at least seventy or eighty years old.
But even so, these elders showed no signs of age.
Wang Chong sensed a frightening aura from them, one that no ordinary elder could possess.
Huang Botian's ability to control rocks and transform into a thirty-meter-tall Stone General was already quite formidable in Wang Chong's view. But compared to these elders, he was clearly not just one level lower.
Some of these elders exuded an aura that even made Wang Chong feel pressured.
"What a powerful cultivation! The Imperial Martial realm … they're all at the Imperial Martial realm at the very least!
Wang Chong quietly said to himself.
Above the True Martial realm was the Profound Martial realm, and above the Profound Martial realm was the Imperial Martial realm. Wang Chong himself was an Imperial Martial expert. But these elders standing across from Li Siye were all experts at the Imperial Martial realm or above.
Some of these elders exuded an aura that even shocked Wang Chong. This was no longer the strength of the Imperial Martial realm, but the Saint Martial realm at the very least!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, not even Wang Chong would have dared to believe that an obscure valley in the northwest of the Tang dynasty was actually hiding such a strength.
"Two Saint Martial realm, seven Imperial Martial realm … this is the strength of Wushang Village before the calamity. It truly is powerful! … And I'm afraid that this is only the tip of the iceberg for Wushang Village! "
Wang Chong's eyes were bright as these thoughts flashed through his mind.
At this moment, even he couldn't help but sigh.
Wang Chong had never had the chance to witness the strength of Wushang Village before the calamity. As the commander of the world's number one Wushang Cavalry, this was truly a pity. But the more this was so, the more Wang Chong had a thought in his mind. No matter what, he had to protect Wushang Village and prevent the tragedy of the otherworldly invaders from repeating itself.
This powerful strength should be used in a better place. They should have a larger stage, not die here alone and helpless. Buzz! Just as this thought flashed through Wang Chong's mind, a familiar voice resounded in his mind.
[Abrupt mission, 'Marshal's Summon'!]
"Every marshal needs soldiers, just like how soldiers need leaders! This is the marshal's summon. Within three days, completely recruit the unruly Wushang people and recruit the first batch of Wushang Cavalry. Host will receive a reward of 600 points of Destiny Energy.]
[If the mission fails, host will receive the ill will of the Wushang people, and will lose the only chance to recruit the Wushang people. At the same time, the battle between host and the Wushang people will incur the enmity of the Wushang people. Host will forever lose the chance to obtain the loyalty of the Wushang people!]
… …
Upon hearing the familiar voice of the Stone of Destiny in his mind, Wang Chong's expression instantly changed.
Wang Chong hadn't expected to hear the Stone of Destiny's voice at a time like this. Moreover, from the information revealed by the Stone of Destiny, his mission to recruit the Wushang people had suddenly become a one-off mission, and it was only for three days.
"It must have been because we sent Li Siye and clashed with them, causing the Wushang Chief and Elders to feel hostility toward us. That's why this happened."
Wang Chong's mind was in turmoil.
The Stone of Destiny would never issue a mission for no reason. Moreover, after experiencing the war of the southwest, Wang Chong had gradually come to realize that rather than saying that the Stone of Destiny was issuing missions, it was more like the Stone of Destiny was using this method to give him a kind reminder.
There was no question that the Wushang people's recruitment mission had encountered a problem.
This is troublesome.
Wang Chong's heart sank, but he did not reveal any of it on his face. However, the more difficult the mission, the more determined Wang Chong became. No matter what, he had to subdue the Wushang people.
"Correct, this one is!"
Wang Chong raised his head, his expression calm and devoid of fear.
"Buzz!"
The mood on the plaza instantly changed at Wang Chong's words. The Wushang Village elders glanced at each other, frowning as they realized that this was a thorny problem.
Wushang Village was remote and surrounded by mountains. Not even bandits and brigands were willing to enter this place, let alone other people. But no matter how ignorant and inexperienced the people of Wushang were, even they knew that the land of the land belonged to the king.
As long as they lived in the Central Plains, they would be bound by the imperial authority of the secular world. To put it simply, the people of Wushang had to obey the orders of the Imperial Court.
They had already noticed the words' Young Marquis' when they had obtained the token, but they had never imagined that this noble and lofty marquis of the secular world would personally appear before them.
No matter how fierce the Wushang people were, they knew that this youth of sixteen or seventeen could not be touched.
