...
Golden Beach was originally a famous gold-panning site. As the gold mining industry declined, the Chaotic Stone Beach here had been abandoned for a long ti.
It is surrounded by water on three sides, with one side against the mountain. Once the area is leveled, it is the most suitable place to build a workshop.
Under the dim night, the cent workshop, which was more than halfway built, crouched on the Chaotic Stone Beach like a monster.
On the high ground.
There weren’t many outsiders, only a re five people.
Among them, two were dressed in black night attire, with faces covered, clearly those who couldn’t reveal their identities easily.
The other three had withdrawn their breath-concealing disguises, exuding an eerie and sinister aura without any restraint.
None of them seed to be righteous people, unconsciously sending a chill down one’s spine.
The old man in the lead was especially filled with Yin Sha Evil Qi, as if a monstrous demon ready to devour soone.
He coldly glanced at the masked person and said indifferently, "Old Man Huangfu, it’s just a small workshop we’re destroying. We have five Spirit Platform Realm cultivators here, and you and I are both at the late stage of the Spirit Platform Realm. Even if we encounter an ordinary Celestial Human Realm, we can still fight. Why are you so secretive?"
"Mr. Yin." The masked man nad Huangfu spoke calmly, "We both have families and businesses, we have children and grandchildren; naturally, we must be cautious. If today’s action is exposed, our entire family will be implicated."
"Hmph~"
Mr. Yin sneered, seemingly disdainful.
"To think we’ve been lurking long enough." A sinister smile spread across his corpse-like cold face, "We’ve been suffocated for too long; it’s ti to see so blood."
After saying this, his body flicked and instantly he soared down from the high ground like a bird, gliding along the wind.
In just a dozen or so breaths, he used the advantage of high altitude to glide obliquely downward, spanning a hundred feet to land in front of the workshop.
His two subordinates and the two masked n imdiately followed closely.
The Spirit Platform Realm cultivators were capable of brief aerial flight, so gliding down from high ground was a breeze.
All five Spirit Platform Realm cultivators stood confidently and imposing in front of the workshop.
"Gentlen, our intelligence reports that all the cocoons are already inside the workshop," Old Man Huangfu said, "Our goal is to kill everyone here. The receiving ships and personnel will transport all the raw materials of the cocoons, as well as the new silk reeling tools and textile equipnt."
They were certain of their success.
Once they got hold of these new tools, it wouldn’t take more than two years to easily replicate them.
Upon hearing this,
a look of excitent appeared in the eyes of the two masked n.
This would be a turning point for their Qianma Huangfu Family’s destiny!
Yet suddenly,
before they could break in, a young man’s voice ca from inside, "Commander, was my intelligence wrong? There are indeed people from the Yin Sha Sect active in our Changning Guard."
As he spoke, a group of people erged from the cent workshop.
The leader was dressed as a military general. He was tall, with a stern face, clad in black armor, exuding an unmistakable military aura.
Following behind him were a young man and woman. The young man was handso and heroic, while the woman was also brave and valiant.
This young couple was none other than Wang Shou Lian and his fiancée, Zhou Qing Ning.
Soti ago, with Wang Shouzhe’s consent and Liu Ruolan’s diation behind the scenes, this marriage was finally arranged.
However, Zhou Zhenwu, as the commander of the Patrol Third Battalion in Changning Guard, had so concerns in his heart. He felt that the current Lord City Lord Xiahou Hongde had only three years left in his term, and it might be better to act after Xiahou Hongde left when the new City Lord arrived and had not yet established himself, to avoid problems.
Therefore, the relationship between the two parties remained confidential for the ti being.
Besides Wang Shou Lian and the other two, there were two n in gorgeous clothing.
One of them was the Patriarch of the Golden Sand Xu Family, Xu Anze. However, he was only in his early forties, with strength only at the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, so today was not his ti to show off.
The true representative of the Golden Sand Xu Family was the person in front of him.
That was the Golden Sand Xu Family’s ancestor, Xu Ningwei, Ancestor Ningwei.
Ancestor Ningwei had a dignified appearance and extraordinary deanor, though his face already showed so signs of aging.
However, the Golden Sand Xu Family was not strong, and Ancestor Ningwei, over a hundred years old, was only at the early stage of the Spirit Platform Realm.
Fortunately, the founding ancestor who branched out from the Changning Xu Family in the early years obtained a spiritual artifact, the "Spiritual Yao Shield," to serve as the Clan’s Spiritual Artifact for the Golden Sand Xu Family. This enabled Ancestor Ningwei to hold his own among many early-stage Spirit Platform Realm ancestors.
Moreover, the "Spiritual Yao Shield" had outstanding defensive powers; even against a mid-stage Spirit Platform Realm, it had life-saving capabilities.
Ordinary Ninth-Grade Noble Families were like this; their heritage and such naturally couldn’t compare to Eighth-Grade Noble Families.
However, now that the Golden Sand Xu Family had latched onto the substantial support of the Ping’an Wang Family, their future developnt potential was bound to increase steadily.
As these five erged,
Mr. Yin and his four companions were all taken aback, sensing an ominous feeling.
Unexpectedly, they had even invited the Patrol Camp to stand guard here, clearly a well-calculated plan.
Yet, before they could react, Zhou Zhenwu, the commander of the Patrol Third Battalion, had already fixed his tiger-like eyes on them.
"Dare the Yin Sha Sect make disturbances in our Changning Guard, truly unaware of their impending doom." His gaze landed on Mr. Yin, sneering, "n, encircle them!"
