Chapter 332: Chapter 64: Town Dragon Monument! Dragon and Tiger Demon Subducing Ruler_2
As he gave the order.
A group of patrol soldiers that had been lying in wait inside the cement workshop rushed out.
At the same time, on the seemingly deserted Golden Sand Beach, some coverings were overturned. The patrol soldiers who had long been ambushed there, all rushed out.
A total of more than a hundred patrol soldiers, divided into two waves, remotely surrounded the five intruders.
They were all ordinary soldiers belonging to the First Capital City, and individually, their strength was not very strong. Most of them were only in the fifth or sixth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, akin to elite house guards.
Only some personnel at the rank of team leader had reached the seventh or eighth level of the Qi Refinement Realm. Even the two deputy commanders were just at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
But don’t underestimate this group of soldiers.
They were all fully armored and armed.
In the front row were sword and shield soldiers, behind were spearmen, and in the last row were elite bowmen, each of whom had a precious sword and a bow in hand. These men were all well-trained and proficient in tactical formations, making them extremely difficult to deal with. Even an ordinary Realm Cultivator who would get caught up in their battle formation would have a difficult time escaping from being defeated and killed.
The eyes of the five who were surrounded were filled with solemnity and severity.
Especially the two ancestors of the Ma Huangfu Clan who had covered their faces, they involuntarily stepped back two steps; it was clear that fear had crept into their hearts.
The Patrol Regiment, belonging to the First Capital City, was officially under the control of the Da Qian Imperial Household, regardless of its combat effectiveness.
As the saying goes, common people should not fight with the officials. Once they resist arrest and confront them, they will be deemed guilty, even if they are not. Even worse, it might implicate their entire family.
Seemingly noticing the reluctance from the two former Ma Huangfu Clan members, Mr. Yin’s eyes flashed. He sneered, “We have two in the late stage of the Spiritual Platform Realm, two in the middle stage, and one in the early stage. The other side only has two in the early stage of the Spiritual Platform Realm. If we fight, there will certainly be casualties, but in the end, we will be the victors.”
As he spoke, he casted a threatening glance at Zhou Zhenwu, his voice already carried a killing intent, “Zhou Zhenwu, are you really going to arrest us at the expense of your men’s lives?”
“That’s right, why don’t we leave and pretend today’s events never happened?” Upon hearing this, Old Man Huangfu worked up his courage and issued a threat.
However, just then.
A woman’s cold scoff suddenly rang out, like a thunderbolt which caused a slight pain in the ears of those who heard it.
“Hmph~! Cowards who hide their identities. Do you think that no one would recognize you if you cover your faces? Huangfu Jinyuan!”
As the voice fell, a woman in a white dress, wearing a veil on her face, floated down from the mountain behind the Golden Sand Beach.
Cold gleamed in her eyes as if carved from ice. Her whole being emitted an aura of coldness and peerless beauty, as if she were a celestial maiden. Her distinctive white hair was particularly conspicuous under the night sky.
“Wang Longyan!”
Huangfu Jinyuan recognized her immediately, his pupils slightly contracted.
This woman is the oldest of the Ping’an Wang Clan. She has been famous since her childhood, especially in recent years. Rumors suggested that Wang Longyan had already advanced to the later stage of the Spiritual Platform Realm. Now that she appeared, her energy was indeed much deeper than it appeared, and it seemed that she was not inferior to him, Huangfu Jinyuan.
The moment the Old Ancestor Longyan appeared, her gaze was fixed on the three people of Yinsha Sect. A chilly resentment rose, and the killing intent was bursting.
“Yinsha Sect! As expected, you’re related to your Huangfu Clan!”
“Wang Longyan, you shouldn’t slander us!”
Huangfu Jinyuan simply removed his face mask, revealing an old face filled with anger, that seemed to be at the end of its lifespan.
Knowing that he couldn’t cover things up today, he tried to disassociate this from his clan, gritted his teeth and said angrily, “This is just some private matters I’m dealing with friends from Yinsha sect, it does not involve my former Ma Huangfu Clan or the Celestial Huangfu Family at all!”
“Hmph~”
The voice of another elder echoed from the sky.
His voice was old, but deep like a bell: “Whether the family is involved with the Yinsha Sect, we will know once we capture and interrogate you.”
As his voice fell, an old man in a gray robe floated down from the sky.
He had his hands behind his back, and even though his face showed signs of old age, his spirit was still shining. Especially the spark and sharpness in his eyes, they showed no signs of aging.
The years flowing in his body haven’t taken away his sharpness, but added a more profound foundation and broader mind, showing his dominance in every action.
His gaze swept over the five men, finally resting on Huangfu Jinyuan. His eyes showed a bit of regret, “Huangfu Jinyuan, you and I were once from the same generation. You were once considered a proud son of heaven, but I didn’t expect you to have fallen so far.”
“Xu Beichen!” Huangfu Jinyuan’s face changed dramatically, “I never expected you to get involved!”
Indeed, this Xu Beichen was the eldest and most senior ancestor of the Changning Xu Clan, Old Ancestor Beichen.
He had been preparing for a breakthrough into the Heavenly Human Realm.
Now that he was here, the last glimmer of hope in the hearts of Huangfu Jinyuan and the others faded.
The whole circumstance had been calculated by the other party.
The hydroelectric workshop might even have been a bait that they cast.
They fell for it!
Huangfu Jinyuan and Mr. Yin, the two in the late stage of Spiritual Platform Realm, looked at each other, and saw the same decision in each other’s eyes.
