He didn't take the opportunity to fight Peng Yulan to the death. Instead, he took advantage of the moment when Peng Yulan was distracted by the arrows. While taking a defensive stance, he pushed back with his other hand and dragged Shang Chaozong away. Then, he charged to the side and crashed into the wall.
With a loud bang, the bricks of the wall were sent flying.
Yuan Gang directly brought Shang Chaozong through the wall and left the scene, not caring about the lives of the others.
He was clear that he wasn't a match for a cultivator of Peng Yulan's strength.
He might be able to hold on for a while with brute force, but if they were to fight, he would most likely die in her hands.
And that was only under the situation where he could hold on for a while. But that wasn't the reason why he led his men to charge into the encirclement. After paying such a huge price, saving Shang Chaozong was his main goal. Nothing must happen to Shang Chaozong. Otherwise, Daoye's efforts would go down the drain, and his brothers would die in vain.
As long as Shang Chaozong was alive, the others would have a chance of survival. If Shang Chaozong died, the others would probably not be able to leave alive from the encirclement.
To put it bluntly, if Peng Yulan didn't bother him and went all out to kill Shang Chaozong, he, Yuan Gang, wouldn't be able to protect Shang Chaozong.
Seeing the two of them escaping, how could Peng Yulan allow him to escape with Shang Chaozong? She instantly dashed towards the hole in the wall.
The others in the room were immediately freed from Peng Yulan's threat.
"Release the arrows!"
Seeing Yuan Gang run out with Shang Chaozong, Nong Changguang immediately roared out the order.
In an instant, the sound of bowstrings rang out, and arrows rained down.
Yuan Gang already knew that there was a group of archers outside, so he was mentally prepared. Hearing the order, he immediately rolled on the ground with Shang Chaozong, using the corpses on the ground as cover, trying his best to protect Shang Chaozong.
Peng Yulan, who rushed out, was caught off guard. She didn't expect that her own people would shoot at her. She was shocked when she rushed out of the hole. She pushed out her arts, and the densely packed arrows froze in the air.
Fortunately, the heavy crossbow was clumsy and required some time to react.
Feng Ruoyi was also shocked, he anxiously roared, "Stop!"
The moment the archers stopped, Yuan Gang pulled Shang Chaozong and leapt up, rushing up to the roof.
"Up there …" Feng Ruoyi waved his hand and pointed upwards. He stopped talking halfway and stared at the ceiling with a panicked expression.
Peng Yulan waved her arms and scattered the arrows in the air. She dashed into the sky in a flash and landed on the roof. She froze and her face tightened.
Bai Yao appeared on the rooftop. Yuan Gang and Shang Chaozong stood behind Bai Yao. Several cultivators from the Heavenly Jade School who came with them descended to protect the two of them.
This was the reason why Yuan Gang was trying his best to stall for time.
Smelling the scent of blood in the air, Bai Yao coldly glanced at the broken house and the corpses on the ground. His gaze was fixed on Peng Yulan's pale face, and he said indifferently, "What do you want?"
Peng Yulan: "You should know how important this is to me and my family. Don't stop me, get out of the way!"
Bai Yao asked, "Are you still a disciple of the Heavenly Jade School? Is the sect's decree still of any use to you? "
Peng Yulan: "Don't force me!"
Bai Yao: "It's not too late to turn back now. If you dare to make a move on a fellow disciple, even Master won't be able to protect you."
Peng Yulan landed in the courtyard in a flash and landed beside her son. She waved her sword and pointed it at the roof. "Heavy crossbows!"
Nong Zhangguang immediately ordered, "Quick, aim at the roof!"
The people below immediately raised the crossbows and shot upwards.
Bai Yao was indifferent, he stared at Peng Yulan below with an expressionless face.
Behind Peng Yulan, on a roof behind the troops gathered, a deep and resounding voice resounded. "Yulan, are you going to kill me as well?"
Peng Yulan trembled when she heard the voice. She slowly turned around and saw Feng Entai on the roof with a dark expression on his face.
"Martial Uncle!" Peng Yulan cried out in grief. The sword in her hand fell to the ground with a clang and she slowly closed her eyes.
Putting aside the fact that she didn't have the ability to kill Feng Entai, even if she did, she wouldn't dare to do it. If she killed Shang Chaozong, even if she killed Bai Yao, the Heavenly Jade School might still be able to turn the situation around for their own benefit. However, if she were to touch Feng Entai, even the Heavenly Jade School's Elder would dare to act rashly. That would affect the interests of the Heavenly Jade School's upper echelons, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Feng Entai gritted his teeth. His face was deathly pale as he leaned his sword against the ground. He knew that he was finished and could only blame himself for being useless.
Feng Entai suddenly roared, "What are you waiting for? Retreat!"
The group of soldiers looked at each other.
Nong Zhangguang suddenly waved his arm and shouted, "Everyone, put down your weapons and retreat immediately!"
Feng Ruoyi didn't stop him. Soon, all the troops retreated, leaving behind a pile of corpses lying in a pool of blood.
Feng Entai landed on the ground and walked past Peng Yulan, stepping on the ground covered in blood. When he passed by, he waved his hand to signal to the people behind him. The people behind him quickly moved and restrained Peng Yulan on the spot.
Peng Yulan's face was ashen. She didn't resist.
As her son, Feng Ruoyi wanted to say something but hesitated. He didn't know what to say.
Inside the house, Lan Ruoting and the others looked outside.
Yuan Gang had already brought Shang Chaozong down. Bai Yao cupped his hands at Feng Entai who was walking over.
Feng Entai glared at Bai Yao, "You were guarding this side, how did it become like this?"
"Martial Uncle, Senior Sister took your token …" Bai Yao roughly explained the situation to him.
Yuan Gang and the others who were listening at the side finally understood what methods Feng Lingbo used.
Shang Chaozong's face wasn't looking good. It was confirmed that Feng Clan really wanted to kill him. Only he, the person involved, knew this feeling the most.
Feng Entai, whose expression was twitching, turned around angrily and strode towards Peng Yulan. He reached out his hand and demanded, "Where's the token?"
Peng Yulan slowly took out the token from her sleeve.
Feng Entai snatched the token and shook it in his hand. He said sternly, "Are you crazy?"
He really didn't think that Peng Yulan actually dared to lie to him. She actually dared to do such a thing. If she wasn't crazy, then what was?
He didn't believe that Feng Lingbo didn't participate in this. Without Feng Lingbo's permission, how could she mobilize so many people to do such a thing? Only today did he realize that a person's selfish desire was really scary. No matter what cultivation sect you were from, a mere mortal actually dared to fight against the heavens!
Peng Yulan suddenly erupted hysterically, "I'm crazy. Even if I'm crazy, you guys forced me to! Back then, in order to occupy Guangyi Commandery, my entire family risked their lives for Heavenly Jade Sect. My children risked their lives to fight in the battlefield. Which time wasn't it with their heads on the line? Which time wasn't it with a body full of injuries? It wasn't easy to gain a foothold in Guangyi Commandery. It wasn't easy to manage Guangyi Commandery properly. You guys just said to give it to someone else. Now, are you going to do it again? We're just taking what we deserve. What's wrong with that? "
The Heavenly Jade Sect disciples on both sides immediately took action. They grabbed her arms and held her down to prevent her from doing anything more rude to Feng Entai.
Feng Entai pointed at her nose, "Wait for your father to come back. You can slowly tell him these words!" After saying that, he swung his sleeves and left.
At this moment, beng! Suddenly, a bowstring sounded, followed by the whizzing sound of an arrow.
Feng Ruoyi, who was standing alone at the side, shuddered. His eyes widened as an arrow pierced right into his temple. His body swayed a few times before he fell to the ground with his back facing the sky. His body was twitching.
Feng Entai, who was walking to the door, suddenly turned around.
Everyone looked at the broken eaves. They saw a cold-faced Shang Chaozong holding a bow in his hand.
He was the one who shot the arrow. While no one was paying attention, he quietly walked to the side and suddenly picked up a bow. He turned around and shot an arrow at Feng Ruoyi.
He had said that he would definitely kill Feng Ruoyi!
He knew that once Heavenly Jade Sect's Feng Ruoyi was under control, it would be difficult for him to get another chance to kill him since Feng Ruoyi was Peng Youzai's grandson after all. Hence, he took this opportunity to kill Feng Ruoyi when no one was paying attention. He killed Feng Ruoyi with a single arrow!
Bai Yao dashed over and snatched the bow from Shang Chaozong's hand.
Bai Yao's face was filled with anger. It was his negligence that allowed Shang Chaozong to take advantage of the situation under his nose.
He couldn't be blamed. Who would have thought that everyone's attention was on Feng Entai and Peng Yulan.
Shang Chaozong was fearless. Bai Yao couldn't do anything to him. He didn't know how to deal with him, so he turned around and looked at Feng Entai.
Feng Entai was already dumbfounded. Sect Leader Senior Brother's grandson actually died under his nose!
Shang Shuqing, who was in the broken house, covered his mouth. He didn't expect that his brother would actually kill his brother-in-law just like that!
Yuan Gang, who turned his head to look at Shang Chaozong, was speechless.
Meng Shan Ming and Lan Ruoting looked at each other and sighed.
Peng Yulan widened her eyes as she watched her son fall in front of her. Suddenly, she let out a shrill scream, "Yi 'er!" She swung her arms and broke free from the grasp.
The two disciples who were holding her were also dumbfounded. They let her break free easily and didn't chase after her.
Peng Yulan rushed over without a care for her life. Even when she tripped over the corpse under her feet, she still ran and crawled over. She knelt on the ground and hugged her son as she shook him. She let out a tragic scream, "Save him, Martial Uncle, save Yi 'er!"
Feng Entai hurriedly rushed over and squatted down to check. He knew that Feng Ruoyi was already dead. Shang Chaozong's arrow hit his vitals and took Feng Ruoyi's life. Even a deity couldn't save him!
"Ah!" Peng Yulan hugged her motionless son and cried to the sky. Her cries made one's scalp go numb.
Feng Entai slowly stood up and stared at Shang Chaozong coldly.
Peng Yulan suddenly threw her son away and picked up a knife from the ground. She rushed towards Shang Chaozong as if she didn't care about her life. Like a crazed beast, she roared and rushed over. "I'll kill you!"
Shang Chaozong, who was covered in blood, stood there silently and indifferently, waiting for her to rush over.
Unfortunately, just as she approached, Bai Yao had already flashed behind Peng Yulan. He pointed a finger at Peng Yulan's back. Peng Yulan immediately fell into his arms and fainted.
Feng Entai paced back and forth in the courtyard, smelling the scent of blood. He looked at the corpses on the ground, at Peng Yulan in Bai Yao's arms, and then at Shang Chaozong, who was covered in blood. Finally, he stopped in front of Feng Ruoyi's corpse and stared at it with his hands behind his back. He sighed, "Why did you have to do this! Capture them and wait for the Sect Master to come back and decide! "
At the North City Gate, Nong Changguang, who was galloping over, stopped his horse and shouted, "There's an urgent military matter. Open the city gates immediately!"
The city gates opened and Nong Changguang led a few of his trusted subordinates out.
Far away from the city walls, amidst the bleak wind, the riders stopped. Nong Changguang turned his horse around and looked back. Gazing at Changping City from afar, he sighed, "There's no place for us in Nanzhou anymore. Let's go! The faster, the better! The further, the better! "He took the lead and whipped his horse.
He knew that Feng Lingbo's power was already gone. If he stayed behind, he wouldn't have a good ending. Shang Chaozong wouldn't let him off so easily. Thus, after he retreated from the courtyard where he had charged over, he didn't return to the magistrate office to report to Feng Lingbo. Instead, he took advantage of the fact that his military order was still in effect and decisively chose to leave the city.
