After Peng Yulan left, Shou Nian, who was left behind on the roof, gradually widened his eyes. He seemed to realize something, and his expression turned solemn …
At the western city gate, Bai Yao stood with his back to the inner city, facing the vast world outside the city. He stood guard with a group of fellow disciples.
The western city gate was also closed. Although they were on guard, they did not see anything unusual outside the city.
Bai Yao had some doubts about Peng Yulan's actions, but when he thought about the token in her hand, he felt that Elder Feng would not give it to her carelessly. Besides, there were still people guarding there. Nothing should have happened.
"Look over there. It looks like the place we are guarding."
Bai Yao slowly turned his head to look. It would have been fine if he did not look, but when he did, his expressionless eyebrows twitched violently. The doubts in his heart suddenly exploded.
"You guys come with me. The rest of you stay here." Bai Yao waved his hand and ordered.
A fellow disciple kindly reminded him, "Senior Brother, the Elder's token ordered us to guard this place. If we leave without permission, we will be suspected of deserting our posts."
"I will take responsibility if anything happens. Let's go!" Bai Yao shouted and took the lead to fly away from the city gate. A few people followed behind him …
On the northern city gate, Feng Entai frowned as he looked in the direction of the rising smoke.
He muttered to himself and stared at it silently for a while. Still, he was worried and ordered the others to stay here. If there were any abnormalities, they were to be immediately alerted. He then led a few people back to check …
At the southern city gate, Fei Changliu, Xia Hua, and Zheng Jiuxiao were already on top of the city gate. Chen Tingxiu ordered them to see him alone. He asked them for an explanation.
The three Sect Masters naturally tried to smooth things over. They only said that they wanted to see Shang Chaozong. Since Chen Tingxiu did not allow them to see him, the three could only politely listen to him and not force him.
"Elder, the place where Bai Yao is guarding seems to be on fire."
A disciple came to report. Chen Tingxiu immediately left the three Sect Masters and walked to the battlement facing the city. Looking into the distance, it did seem to be where Bai Yao was guarding.
However, he did not care. There was a large number of troops stationed there. With Bai Yao's men and Feng Entai leading a group of Heavenly Jade School disciples, there should be no problem.
He turned back and ordered, "Two people go and see what's going on."
…
Peng Yulan flew across the rooftops of the city, and when she got close to the target location, she found that a large number of people were gathering in the streets and alleys towards the target location, which made her heart heavier. Looking at the situation, could it be that they still haven't succeeded?
His body flew and landed on a loft in the courtyard where a large number of people were gathered. He saw his eldest son, Feng Ruoyi, commanding his men to either swing an axe to chop down the pillars outside the main hall, or throw a rope to pull the house down, or use heavy objects and sharp weapons to smash the walls.
In short, the purpose was obvious. Peng Yulan could tell at a glance that her son's goal was to destroy the main hall.
Arrows were shot out from the main hall from time to time. Not only were there piles of corpses under the eaves, but there was also a pool of blood. The air was filled with the smell of blood.
Around the main hall, a circle of heavy crossbows had already been mobilized. They aimed and waited for the main hall to collapse before launching a fatal attack.
In the distance, there were even stone throwers being pushed over from the alley. Unfortunately, the alley was narrow, and it wasn't convenient to transport those big things over.
Peng Yulan flew down and directly landed beside her son. She looked at the broken shoulder plate and the bloodstains from the injury on her son's shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Yi 'er, what happened?"
Seeing his mother, Feng Ruoyi was a little agitated. "Mother, Second Brother … Second Brother, he …" He didn't know how to say it.
Peng Yulan vaguely sensed that something was wrong. She quickly looked around, and when she didn't see her youngest son, she angrily said, "Where's Second Brother?"
Feng Ruoyi lowered his head, and it was Nong Changguang who spoke for him regretfully, "My condolences, Madam. Niu Youdao's subordinate, Yuan Gang, led a small group of men to launch a surprise attack. Due to Second General's carelessness, he unfortunately fell into Yuan Gang's hands."
Jie 'er died? Peng Yulan felt as if she was struck by lightning. Her face turned deathly pale, and her breathing hastened.
Nong Changguang hurriedly said, "Madam, now isn't the time to be sentimental. Shang Chaozong is still stubbornly resisting inside the house. We can't delay any longer. Madam came at the right time, it's time to avenge General, Madam!"
He knew that Peng Yulan wasn't a weak cultivator, and she came at the right time, so he urged her to take action.
Peng Yulan suddenly came back to her senses. With a face full of pain from losing her son, she drew her sword with a swoosh. Her figure flashed, and she dashed towards the loft, avoiding the arrows. Her feet stepped on the loft, and she turned around to pounce. It could be said that she was descending from the sky, and she flew towards the roof of the main hall.
Seeing this, Nong Changguang clenched his hands excitedly. His eyes lit up, and the anxiety he felt earlier was swept away.
Inside the main hall, Shang Chaozong and the rest saw the situation outside through the broken door, and they saw Peng Yulan's arrival.
"Not good, Peng Yulan is probably desperate. I heard that this woman's cultivation isn't inferior to Bai Yao's!" Lan Ruoting shouted, and his tone no longer showed any respect for Shang Chaozong's mother-in-law. At this time, who could care about that?
As soon as he finished speaking, Peng Yulan soared into the sky. Through the broken roof tiles, Peng Yulan's movements could be seen.
"You guys get out of the way!" Slowly, Yuan Gang turned the saber in alert. With the saber in his hand, he looked up and stared at Peng Yulan's flying path with a stern face. A different momentum was brewing.
"I will advance and retreat with Master Yuan!" Shang Chaozong also raised the Zhanmadao in his hand and waved his hand to signal Lan Ruoting and others to retreat. His eyes were full of annoyance. The Feng Family is so ungrateful. I can't wait to burn the bones of the Feng Family to ashes. This time, I really hate the Feng Family to the core.
Not to mention him, if it was anyone else, there would be no kinship between the two parties. Since ancient times, the struggle for power was mostly like this. This wasn't an exception. There were even many who killed each other.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, Yuan Gang waved his arm and pushed Shang Chaozong back. He couldn't stand steadily and was pushed to the side.
"Protect the Prince!" Yuan Gang looked up at the roof as he spoke.
Yuan Feng immediately waved his hand and summoned more than a dozen brothers to rush over.
Peng Yulan, who was descending from the sky, slammed her palm down. Boom, a palm force smashed the roof.
The house suddenly burst into rubble, the roof beams collapsed, and the dust was dazzling, causing the people in the house to be in a mess.
Yuan Gang was the only one who did not move. He raised one hand and caught a falling beam with his palm. The moment the stone floor beneath his feet cracked and sank, Yuan Gang pulled back his arm and threw the beam at the falling figure with a whoosh.
The whistling sound rushed over, and Peng Yulan slashed in the air. A sword qi directly cut the incoming beam into two pieces.
Yuan Gang took the opportunity to bounce up and rushed straight to the roof. He slashed at Peng Yulan in the air, and his muscles were bulging with blood.
"Howl!"
A ferocious tiger roar suddenly resounded in the air, terrifying everyone's mind. Everyone inside and outside the house was startled. Where did this tiger roar come from?
At first, Peng Yulan did not take Yuan Gang seriously, even though he had killed her son. It was only when the power of the saber burst forth in front of her that she was shocked by the fierce saber force and the lightning-fast attack. She hurriedly swung her sword to block it.
Bang! There was a loud sound in the air.
Under the fierce collision of the two, the strong wind that exploded seemed to be visible against the dust. A visible circle of air rippled out, adding a different kind of atmosphere under the bright sun.
The people in the house who heard the loud sound looked up and saw a strange scene. The two colliding figures bounced away along with the visible explosion.
Shang Chaozong, Shang Shuqing, Meng Shanming, Lan Ruoting, and the others who looked up were all shocked. They didn't expect Yuan Gang to jump so high, and they didn't expect him to fight head-on with Peng Yulan.
The dust in the house was washed away by the strong airflow, and the remaining tiles on the roof were also blown away.
In the eyes of the people outside, the dilapidated main hall spewed out a large amount of smoke and dust, and the scene of the two people crashing into each other while the smoke and dust rippled like ripples on the roof could be seen clearly.
Yuan Gang, who was holding the saber horizontally, stepped back a few steps on the broken frame of the roof.
Peng Yulan, who was defending in a hurry, also fell on the broken roof and took a few steps back.
The two of them were pushed back at the same time, and stopped almost at the same time.
Peng Yulan held the sword horizontally in her hand, her eyes filled with shock and uncertainty as she looked at the bloodstained Yuan Gang. This guy was actually fighting head-on with her with brute force. How could there be such a strong person in the world?
She even suspected that it was an illusion, but she clearly felt that her opponent's attack didn't have any signs of mana added to it.
Yuan Gang's footsteps slid a little, and he squatted slightly on the slanted beam. He held the saber horizontally in his hand and stared coldly at Peng Yulan. His posture was like a cheetah ready to pounce at any time.
Feng Ruoyi swallowed his saliva as he watched. He didn't expect Yuan Gang to be evenly matched with his mother. It was no wonder that his second brother was killed by Yuan Gang in one blow. Thinking back to the situation when he rushed to kill Yuan Gang, he felt a chill run down his spine and a lingering fear in his heart.
Only now did he know that he had survived Yuan Gang's attack.
The people inside and outside the house all stopped moving, and stared blankly at the two people facing each other on the roof.
"Stop!" An angry shout came.
Yuan and Peng on the roof both tilted their heads slightly and glanced at it. They saw Bai Yao flying over with a few people.
Swish! Peng Yulan suddenly drew a sword qi and slashed at Yuan Gang. She stomped her feet at the same time, and her figure suddenly sank into the house.
Bai Yao came with people. She couldn't care about fighting against Yuan Gang, and she couldn't care about the revenge of her son. It was more important to kill Shang Chaozong first. Otherwise, her son's death would be in vain. Where there's life, there's hope. As long as I kill Shang Chaozong, as long as the Feng Family controls the secular power of the South Continent, I'm not afraid that I won't have a chance to revenge in the future!
Yuan Gang was also a vigilant person, and he was even calmer in the face of battle. He wasn't confused by her sword qi. His body tilted and suddenly fell sideways. He broke the broken beam wing with one arm and fell into the house. The sword qi almost passed by him.
"Shoot!"
There was still a calm person in the house. Meng Shanming, who saw the situation wasn't right, suddenly shouted.
Yuan Feng and his men, who drew their bows in a fan shape to protect Shang Chaozong and others, immediately shot arrows at Peng Yulan, who fell through the roof.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Amidst the furious shooting of arrows, the aura around Peng Yulan's body rippled, and the arrows that were shooting towards her immediately stagnated in the air. The sharp arrowheads were still three feet away from her before they could advance any further.
