Chapter 666: Chapter 667: Soul Scattered
Following the rock-shielded Martial Artist, the elder from the Yuan family observed the scene before him and felt an indescribable shock.
Originally on the streets, rows of heavily armored soldiers stood densely packed, lined up neatly and in order, exuding an aura that made him tremble with fear.
Under the leadership of the rock-shield, this Yuan family elder passed through the Imperial Army of the Huaxia Empire gathered here and reached a safe area behind them.
Upon reaching this location, the Yuan family elder found that the open space to the north of the city was gathered with many people from the Yuan family, including his own son.
“Dad, you’re safe!” Seeing the Yuan family elder safe and sound, one middle-aged Yuan family man hurriedly ca up to him.
This middle-aged Yuan family man was none other than the man who had been previously rescued by a small squad from the Huaxia Empire.
The family mbers of the Yuan family who had been rescued along with him were now on this open land, continuously watching the gathering Imperial Army.
Initially, the middle-aged man had led the Yuan family mbers to retreat, but his own father, despite everything, had refused to leave, and under the threat of death, had forced him to lead the other clansn to leave.
All the way, he had been worried about his father’s safety; now seeing the Imperial Army of the Huaxia Empire bringing his father back safe and sound, he felt imnsely relieved and was very grateful to the Huaxia Empire.
Seeing his own son, as well as other people from the Yuan family, the Yuan family elder still couldn’t understand exactly what the situation was now.
“Son, what exactly is going on?” The elder ca up to his son and curiously asked, as it seed his son might know sothing.
Upon seeing his father inquire, the middle-aged man recounted the incident of their being rescued in the forest back then.
“Later, the people from the Huaxia Empire learned that we originally lived in this place, so they brought us back,” he explained.
“According to them, next, the Huaxia Empire will reclaim all the territories lost by the Yun family, so we can continue living in our holand, and naturally, we don’t need to retreat further into the inner territory. Now, we just need to wait to repel the Soul Martial Artists from the Jinhua Comrce who attack this place.”
Hearing his son’s words, the Yuan family elder finally understood and simultaneously turned to look at the army that had gathered.
He also recalled that those Soul Martial Artists from the Jinhua Comrce seed to be assembling south of the city.
However, he had heard that there were over two hundred thousand people in the Jinhua Comrce’s Soul Martial Artists south of the city, yet the military force here appeared to be only twenty to thirty thousand n—could they really handle those Soul Martial Artists from the Comrce?
“No, I must go help them. How can we let outsiders make such sacrifices for our Yuan family’s affairs?” Thinking this, the Yuan family elder quickly spoke up and turned to leave, but his son caught him.
“Father, they won’t let you go. We also intended to help but were stopped. According to the order of the Emperor of the Huaxia Empire, we Yuan family mbers do not need to intervene in this war. Our Yuan family now belongs to the Huaxia Empire.”
The middle-aged man knew that his father, like him previously, did not understand what had happened these days and hastily began to explain to his father.
After hearing his son’s words, the Yuan family elder was quite surprised, clearly not having expected that their Yuan family had already beco a part of the Huaxia Empire.
When the Huaxia Empire had erged, it had caused quite a stir in the Central Domain, and he was sowhat aware of it.
However, he had not anticipated that things would develop to this extent.
anwhile, during the conversation of the Yuan family father, Night Shadow and Swift Wind, who had secretly rushed out, coordinated with the Reconnaissance Beast and thoroughly swept through the Jinhua Comrce’s Soul Martial Artists within the city.
The Jinhua Comrce Soul Martial Artists, who had been intently searching for the Yuan family’s treasure, had not noticed that shadows were already nearing them from behind, instantly taking their lives.
The peak Life and Death Realm Night Shadows often approached these Jinhua Comrce Soul Martial Artists undetected, swinging the daggers in their hands simultaneously.
One dagger would slice across the opponent’s neck, seizing their vitality, while also piercing their Dantian to prevent any explosion of Soul Power, making it impossible for them to use Soul Power to communicate just before dying.
Swift Wind also exerted his speed, constantly searching within the city for survivors, administering them recovery potions, and having Boulder Shield escort them to a safe location in the north of the city.
With the Night Shadows’ sweep, the Soul Martial Artists of the Jinhua Comrce within the city were disappearing at an alarmingly fast rate. The scholars from the Heavenly Art Departnt and the craftsn from the Fire Departnt followed behind, entering the cleared safe zones to set up the Huaxia World Array.
anwhile, the assembled 24,000 soldiers in this city followed behind the Night Shadows, continuously moving toward the south of the city, ready to charge when the ti was ripe.
At the sa ti, on the plains just outside the south of the city, many Jinhua Comrce Soul Martial Artists were gathered, setting up camp at this location.
The steward in charge of managing this large group was in his own tent, inspecting a map in front of him, which marked several important locations within the Yuan family’s Territory, particularly the city located directly behind this one, which was of utmost importance.
Thus, in sweeping this city, he did not bring the entire group of Soul Martial Artists into the city but allowed a few thousand agile individuals to explore inside.
The Soul Martial Artists behind him were assembled and ready to depart at any ti to respond to the upcoming battle.
After all, the city they were about to attack next was not to be underestimated.
“Once Yunxi City is taken, I’ll allow those guys to relax properly,” the steward thought, glancing toward the tent entrance.
From outside the tent, a bustling noise continued to be heard, along with many complaints. The content was about the good fortune of looting the city, wondering why they hadn’t had the chance themselves.
However, they were unaware of what was actually happening inside the city. If they knew the situation inside, they certainly wouldn’t think this way.
“Hm?” Just then, a Soul Martial Artist patrolling outside the camp suddenly looked suspiciously towards the city gate, sensing that sothing was amiss.
Seeing his partner staring into the city, another Soul Martial Artist teasingly said, “What, are you envious of those guys who went into the city, wishing you could find a Yuan family woman to enjoy yourself? Speaking of which, the Yuan family won are indeed beautiful, especially those widows whose husbands died in the Northern Territory, they have a certain flavor.”
At this, the face of the Jinhua Comrce Soul Martial Artist revealed an excited expression.
“It’s not that. Haven’t you felt that the city has beco too quiet?” the patrolling Jinhua Comrce Soul Martial Artist from earlier asked, frowning as he stared into the city, asking his companion.
However, the other patrolling Soul Martial Artist dismissed his partner’s concern: “That’s just your imagination. Do you really think those Yuan family people have the strength to resist? The powerful Yuan family Soul Martial Artists have long gone to the Northern Territory to fight against the foreign tribes.”
“Is that so?” Hearing his companion’s words, the Jinhua Comrce patrolling Soul Martial Artist nodded to himself.
However, when he turned back, his face gradually twisted in terror, pointing at his companion in front of him, too scared to speak.
“Ah? What’s with that expression?” the Jinhua Comrce Soul Martial Artist, seeing his partner’s look, spoke irritably and turned back around, “If I find out you’re ssing with , I’m not done with you.”
However, when the Jinhua Comrce Soul Martial Artist turned his head back, he was imdiately terrified to the core.
