Chapter 128

Chapter 128 The War Begins

“Xiong’er, how is it? Has Yuhua come back?”

In a house in the county town, Wang Cangyi’s face was gloomy.

He asked his second disciple to go out to do something, but he disappeared for so long.

He thought that the brat could not complete the task and did not dare to come back to see him.

After all, his second disciple always liked to be sneaky and cunning in doing things, and he had a lot

of thoughts. But now, he had a bad premonition.

“There is no news about my junior brother. Even the people who went out from the small gang he subdued have not returned. However, the people who went out to look for him brought back this.”

The eldest disciple was a burly man, and his face was not very good at this time.

He took out a long and thin piece of jade.

“What is this?”

Wang Cangyi didn’t quite understand why the eldest disciple took out the jade.

“This piece of white jade is called corundum, a type of jade unique to our Northern Frontier, mined near our Tiancang Sect. The jade fan Second Junior Brother uses is made of this same corundum.”

“Also, there were traces of blood around where this fan was found.”

“Similarly, several miles away, our men discovered a large pit containing the remains of partially incinerated corpses,”

the burly man explained.

“What do you mean?” Wang Cangyi’s heart sank.

“I suspect Junior Brother has met with an unforeseen event, along with the small gang he led,” the burly man speculated.

In fact, based on the information brought back by the men he sent out,

he felt this suspicion was likely accurate.

Otherwise, even with the Second Junior Brother’s immense courage, he wouldn’t have dared to remain away from his master for so long.

“Good, very good!” Wang Cangyi’s face darkened, his entire body trembling with anger. “Who on earth is it that’s so ruthless to me, Wang Cangyi, that they’ve even killed several of my disciples? Do they really think I’m made of clay?”

Sensing the terrifying murderous aura emanating from his master, the burly man’s heart also sank.

He knew his master was truly furious this time.

“Master, what should we do now? The Wei family has been stubbornly resisting, refusing to surrender, and there’s this mysterious force lurking in the shadows. Should we continue to waste time like this?”

The burly man felt equally frustrated.

Their Tiancang Sect was renowned throughout the northern border, and anyone who heard of it would be intimidated and afraid to fight.

Yet, in this remote place, they’d suffered repeated setbacks, with several of their fellow disciples murdered in mysterious circumstances, with no one even knowing the culprit.

Such a heavy loss had never happened to the Tiancang Sect before!

“Why keep wasting time? I’m afraid one day, you’ll be among them,” Wang Cangyi said in a cold voice.

“Since someone’s breaking the rules and trying to reap the benefits, don’t blame me for flipping the table!”

“Xiong’er, gather your men immediately and attack the Wei Mansion. I’m going to raze it to the ground today!”

“But Master, we’re without our second and third junior brothers now. We lack the internal organs to fight, and I’m afraid we’re not strong enough to break the Wei family’s Silver Moon Battle Formation,” the burly man said urgently.

“Don’t worry. I’ll help you when necessary. The Silver Moon Battle Formation is nothing to fear,” Wang Cangyi said coldly.

“Master, if you want to take action, then the Holy Mountain prohibition…” The burly man was taken aback.

If it were anywhere else, they might have killed everyone to silence them, leaving no evidence.

But this was the county seat, with the County Master’s Office there, and they clearly couldn’t hide their actions from everyone.

“At this point, do you still want us to retreat? What’s the Holy Mountain prohibition? At most, after this, I’ll imprison myself in the Holy Mountain for ten years. Don’t waste your words, and do as I say!”

Wang Cangyi was determined to obtain the Wei family’s treasure.

As long as he could obtain that treasure, even if he was imprisoned for ten years, he felt it was worth it.

The burly man heard his master’s words and knew that his mind was made up, and it would be difficult to dissuade him.

He could only obey the order and said, “Yes, Master, I will go and prepare it now.”

After the eldest disciple left, Wang Cangyi looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with determination.

“No matter who you are, if you want to take advantage of me, Wang Cangyi, you’ll have to see if you have the ability!”

“Brother Wang, have you truly decided?”

At this moment, a voice rang out, and an elderly man with white hair and beard and a ruddy complexion emerged.

He had clearly overheard what Wang Cangyi and his disciple had said.

“Yes, I’d appreciate it, Brother Zhao, please lend me a hand.”

Wang Cangyi seemed unsurprised by the red-faced elder’s presence, and instead addressed him sincerely.

“Well,” the red-faced elder sighed. “Although I don’t approve of your murderous quest for treasure, you saved my life in the first place. This time, consider it my sacrifice to repay the favor.”

“Brother Zhao, you’re too kind. In the Wei family, only the patriarch, Wei Xinghe, has reached the Perfection of the Inner Viscera Realm. If you and Xiong’er join forces, defeating him will be a piece of cake.”

The red-faced elder shook his head and said nothing more.

If it were that easy, Wang Cangyi wouldn’t have had to wait so long.

Upon his arrival, he could have directly attacked the Wei family.

Clearly, the Wei family’s support wasn’t so simple.

The burly man was incredibly efficient, and soon, a large group of warriors had gathered in the courtyard.

“Master, everyone’s gathered,” the burly man reported.

“Yes,” Wang Cangyi replied, then turned to the red-faced old man, “Brother Zhao, thank you for your help.”

Soon, a large group of warriors left the mansion and headed for the Wei Mansion.

Such a large movement naturally couldn’t be hidden from the eyes and ears of those in the city.

At the County Magistrate’s residence, the middle-aged man with phoenix eyes heard his men’s report and felt a chill in his heart: “Is it finally time to take action?”

The county had been remarkably peaceful these days, so peaceful that he almost thought the mastermind behind the plot had given up.

“Quickly, get Zhirui over!”

“County Magistrate, Zhirui is not in his room.”

Upon hearing Zhirui’s absence, the middle-aged man with phoenix eyes felt his heart sink, knowing that this time, the real deal was about to begin.

In a flash, he vanished from the courtyard, rushing out of the mansion.

Meanwhile, dozens of warriors had already gathered outside the Wei residence.

“Wei Xinghe, I’ll give you one last chance. Will you surrender or not?”

the burly man at the forefront shouted in a thunderous voice.

“Hahaha! I’ve already answered this question. There are only Wei family members who die in battle, not those who surrender!”

Wei Xinghe’s voice echoed from within the mansion.

“Well, since you’re so stubborn, don’t blame us for being ruthless!”

The burly man had anticipated this answer.

His expression was solemn, and he raised his hand high, then swung it down.

“Kill! Destroy this Wei family without a single survivor!”

“Yes!”

As soon as he finished speaking, several burly men, heavy meteor hammers

in hand, stepped forward. They swung their hammers with great speed, exerting their full strength and hurling them forward.

Their target was the solemn, vermilion gate of the Wei residence.

Boom!

Under the powerful impact, the gate of the Wei Mansion collapsed to the ground.
