Fanxue Mountain was in trouble, yet the people did not leave.
It clearly proved that the efforts Mu Ningxue and the others had put in over the years were not in vain.
Humans were at a loss of what to do when they saw others running away, as if they had a prearranged escape plan, but they did not. They had no idea where to go, yet they were reluctant to leave. They would lose their sense of self in a panic.
However, when they saw so many people were unwilling to leave and were trying to pick up their weapons to fight against the enemy, their fear would gradually dissipate. They no longer had to think too much about it. All they had to do was defend their homeland and fight until they were exhausted. Sometimes, when it came to matters deep in their hearts, they would become simple and persistent!
They had chosen Fanxue Mountain because they no longer wanted to wander around aimlessly. Why would they choose the path of retreat at a time like this?
Their hearts had already belonged to Fanxue Mountain. They were allowed to enjoy the prosperity of the place, so they should be able to withstand the sudden calamity!
Mu Ningxue initially thought they were the only people left when she saw the carpenter, Gu Ying, and the patrol captain. To her surprise, there were over a thousand official members of Fanxue Mountain, and they were preparing for the battle at the back of the mountain.
Even if there was an iceberg in her heart, it would still melt. A trace of moisture appeared in her beautiful eyes.
This was the real Fanxue Mountain, the one she wanted. It had a soul, not an empty shell!
"Are you declaring war on them?" Li Dong was in disbelief.
Mo Fan might be arrogant, but why were so many people of Fanxue Mountain behaving the same way? Did they not know the situation they were in? Did they not know how many renowned experts there were at the foot of the mountain? These useless soldiers of Fanxue Mountain would crumble within a few minutes!
"Which one of us looks like we are surrendering?" Shao Yu asked Li Dong.
"But … you are still a legitimate renowned clan under the protection of the country. If you hand over the artifact, they won't have a valid reason to do so. Some of the factions will be wary of you. That way, you won't be wiped out. You can at most agree to some of their conditions. It's better to suffer a loss than to turn into a corpse!" Li Dong tried to convince the others.
"Li Dong, Fanxue Mountain's situation isn't as simple as you think. When Feiniao City was about to become a headquarter city, the officials were already trying to come up with all kinds of despicable ways to reclaim Fanxue Mountain. If you think that only Zhao Jing wants the item in our hands, then you are underestimating these people. Fanxue Mountain was going to show up sooner or later, but Zhao Jing was the one leading the way. " Bai Hongfei was well aware of the situation. After all, he had grown up in one of the renowned clans. How could he not be aware of the situation?
Li Dong took a deep breath.
He calmed himself down and thought about it seriously and carefully.
Fanxue Mountain was indeed a juicy piece of meat in the eyes of many officials and Councilmen. Even the Dali Clan had been trying to claim it for themselves.
It was only a matter of time until Fanxue Mountain was destroyed.
The Hellfire Pistil was just an excuse.
Without Zhao Jing, or Li Jing, Zhou Jing, or Wu Jing, Fanxue Mountain would have either evolved and become a renowned clan in Feiniao City that no one in the city could afford to mess with, or it would have been wiped out by the competition between the factions.
Li Dong was speechless.
A Spirit Moth with a unique glow of moonlight flapped its wings and swiftly flew to Yu Shishi.
Yu Shishi extended her hand and allowed the spirit moth to land on the back of her milky-white hand.
"They are here," Yu Shishi said to the people in the hall.
"Let's go, we'll find a place with good Feng Shui to fight them," Mofan said.
"Let's do it at the Terraced Fields in front of the mountain," Mu Ningxue said.
The mountain in front of Fanxue Mountain had many battlefields, training grounds, and training grounds. Mu Ningxue was a person who placed great importance on fighting. Fanxue Mountain might not have many places, but it was full of duels and training grounds.
The terraced field battlefields were not really terraced fields, but rather terraced fields that were scattered along the slope of the mountain. The battlefields were of different sizes. The small ones were similar to a football field for the magicians to practice their spells, while the large ones were as luxurious as a golf course. The terraced fields were connected together in such a disorderly manner, forming a rather large area.
Zhao Jing and Lin Kang's men were under the government's banner. They would not fight Fanxue Mountain in the new city. The woods were spacious, too. It was not suitable for living, but it was perfect for a battlefield!
"Don't let a single one of them go," Mofan said to the others.
"Ugh … it might sound a little exaggerated, but that's exactly what we need."
…
The group left Fanxue Mountain. The buildings were protected by a barrier, too. However, the group did not hide inside the barrier. They all walked out of the barrier's range to face the enemy on the Terraced Fields.
Fanxue Mountain was a huge group of people. The symbols of the Fanxue Mountain, a fiery mountain, and an icy mountain were perfectly aligned. The soldiers that were making their way up the mountain were stunned when they saw the two thousand people standing on the mountain in their stances.
"Why are there still so many people on Fanxue Mountain? Didn't I hear they all ran away?" the Vice Commander of the North City Regiment blurted out in surprise.
"It seems like the ones that ran away are only outsiders. These people are the official members of Fanxue Mountain. No wonder they say Fanxue Mountain is a bunch of lunatics who don't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth. It's indeed the case today. They still don't understand the situation they're in. They're like mantises trying to stop a chariot! "Nanrong Xu laughed.
Nanrong Ni's expression darkened.
She was hoping to see Fanxue Mountain emptied out, leaving only the stubborn Mu Ningxue standing there in a pitiful state.
Mu Ningxue was a monster, after all. Her ability to bewitch people was unmatched!
"We meet again. Have you thought of how you are going to beg for mercy from me? I, Zhao Jing, am not an evil man. As long as you are willing to hand over the things and hand Fanxue Mountain over to Lin Kang, I'll let you and your people go wherever you want," Zhao Jing said with a smile.
These people did not realize who Zhao Jing was when they were outside of Lanyang City. They might have realized it now, but it was too late!
"I thought you were a strong man, someone who was bold enough to rob someone, but you're just a piece of trash that only knows how to play tricks. It doesn't matter, I won't force everyone to be like me, Mofan, who can talk to others with his strength, "Mofan shook his head helplessly, as if he was very disappointed in Zhao Jing.
When Zhao Jing heard this, his face did not look as good as when he was full of smiles.
The more capable and arrogant a person was, the more unwilling they would be to be trampled on by others.
Zhao Jing did not rely on the Zhao Clan's wealth to achieve what he had today. He had relied on his own strength and ambition.
Even though he was displeased, he was not naive enough to point his finger at Mofan's nose and say, "Let's have a duel. If I lose, I'll withdraw my men."
He was proud and arrogant, but it did not stop him from being unscrupulous and greedy.
