638: Chapter 637: Dragon River Water Mansion 6 [Extra for Alliance Hierarch Peaceful Little Fresh Meat] 638: Chapter 637: Dragon River Water Mansion 6 [Extra for Alliance Hierarch Peaceful Little Fresh Meat] The change came so suddenly that it caught everyone off guard.

At this time, the leader’s decision often meant the difference between success and failure.

Li Laixiang took a deep breath and made his choice,

“Repair is not an option.

We don’t have the time or the manpower; withdrawing would be a weak move, and we would become a laughing stock of the Water Clan.

How would we maintain our prestige in Pingliang State then?

My decision: abandon the Water Repelling Boats and launch a full attack!

As long as we win this battle, everything will fall into place.

Even if the Water Repelling Boats sink to the riverbed, we can always retrieve and repair them.”

Lan Yuanzhi and Li Shipeng nodded in agreement.

This was the only response they had, and they would have made the same decision.

There was no way they could just back down now.

Under the water outside, a fierce battle raged on, involving cultivators from the three residences, the Water Clan, and bandits all mixed in, with water currents clashing and Spiritual Power bursting.

The entire scene was chaotic.

In such underwater fights, it was hard to control the situation as a whole.

The personnel left behind on the five Water Repelling Boats also rushed out, as no one wanted to be trapped and die.

Therefore, Li Laixiang’s decision was one made out of necessity.

The Water Repelling Boats were precious, but not more so than life.

Li Laixiang, with a wave of his sleeve, declared resolutely, “Each of us will fight our own battle, keeping the dignity of the three residences in mind.

We must not take this opportunity to fish in troubled waters or slack off.

The talk of profit before was just a joke.

Should we be lucky enough to win this battle, we will stick to the original agreement and not go back on our word.”

The three raised their hands in farewell and flew off in different directions, plunging into the chaotic battlefield.

Li Shipeng, with his own ghosts, how could he possibly fight wholeheartedly for the Central Army’s residence?

He only wanted to find the cultivators from the Capital Commandant’s residence.

Though these men were not Sword Cultivators of the Shan Sect, they had entanglements with the Central Army over the years.

Still, having been together for so many years, he would help if he could.

In between fighting and pausing, searching and seeking, merely going through the motions, he managed to avoid any real danger.

Finally, after a while, he located the cultivators of the Capital Commandant’s residence, but at first glance, their situation was dire.

Catching one of the badly beaten cultivators from the Capital Commandant’s residence, he demanded, “How is everyone here?

Where are the rest?

Why are there only three of you left?”

The cultivator was very disgruntled, “How else could it be?

Some died, some fled.

Those Water Demons are ferocious; they are not a rabble…

And those bandits, each one is vicious and tough to deal with.

Everyone is struggling to hold on, and some have already started fleeing.”

Just as Li Shipeng was about to explain, suddenly a Water Arrow flew towards them, its power extraordinary, causing the Capital Commandant’s cultivator to continually retreat.

This was no ordinary Water Arrow Skill but something more sinister.

Li Shipeng quickly looked all around, catching a glimpse of a figure drawing a bow and loosing one powerful Magic Arrow after another in rapid succession, giving the opponent no chance to react.

He wrestled with himself, vaguely guessing the intentions of the Commandant.

Sending these people was meant to consign them to die and also to clean up the internal order of the Commandant’s residence.

But although that was the logic, after many years together, even if relations were just average, it was very difficult to remain indifferent and stand by while watching someone fall into desperate straits.

Regretting that he should not have come to trouble himself, he ultimately couldn’t bear to watch the man die before his eyes.

His body shook, and his Flying Sword shot out, deflecting the Magic Arrow, while also feeling the true power of it.

The Invisible Magic Arrow was strong enough to match his Flying Sword, which said a lot about its capability.

Before he could figure out what to do next, the bandit suddenly disappeared, leaving no trace.

In the next instant, a Flying Sword had already pierced into the Commandant’s cultivator’s head.

Li Shipeng’s heart sank with shock as he realized that this bandit was not a bandit at all but a true Sword Cultivator of the Shan Sect, directly under the Commandant—an actual brother from his own sect!

Neither fighting nor running was an option, and as he hesitated, the pirate suddenly appeared beside him, his Divine Sense shouting:

“What are you spacing out for?

If it’s time to go, then go.

I recognize your sword, but those Water Clan members will kill without recognizing you!”

Only now did Li Shipeng truly understand the gap between him and the Capital Commandant.

It wasn’t in their Realm or strength, but in that decisive ruthless resolve.

It didn’t matter who you were; if you stood in his way, you would be cut down without a shred of mercy.

Even those who had spent a long time in the Commandant’s residence, who might not have truly intended to betray, were not given a chance to explain and were directly eliminated.

Feeling a chill in his heart, he also considered the bandit who had magically appeared.

Clearly, the earlier arrows had only been a diversion.

The moment he saw that Li was a Sword Cultivist, he dropped all pretense and went for the decisive blow.

His swordsmanship was so masterful that Li hadn’t even been able to react, and he wondered if he could have defended himself had he been the target.

That was a question he dared not contemplate too deeply.

Slowly, he moved towards the outskirts of the Water Mansion; it was time to leave, as the Water Demons were becoming increasingly agitated.

Destroying Dragon River Water Mansion was a double-edged sword.

If the human cultivators gained the upper hand, the demons would quickly collapse, but if the demons had the advantage, their innate brutality would undoubtedly emerge.

He could clearly sense that the Water Demons intercepting him were becoming more brazen, a sign of vengeance for their intrusive actions into Water Clan territory.

Two Water Demons followed him closely, determined not to give up until they achieved their goal.

Fortunately, they did not possess the strength of a Demon General, otherwise, his chances of escaping were uncertain.

Fighting while fleeing was his current state, not particularly notable, as all the cultivators from the three mansions were doing the same.

Few were fighting to the death.

That was the nature of interest groups; they lacked convictions or, rather, sufficient motivation of interest.

The battle ahead was in complete disarray, with another scene of Water Demons ganging up on a cultivator from the three mansions.

He wasn’t keen on interfering, but changed his mind upon seeing who the surrounded cultivator was.

He mustered his Mana and threw his most precious White Tiger Light Pearl, while his Flying Sword launched a piercing attack.

He aimed not to harm the enemy but to scare them.

Seizing the moment when the Water Demons scattered in confusion, he grabbed the collar of the man and quickly escaped with him.

“Thank you, Daoist Li, for saving my life.

However, this battle is frustrating, with a perplexing defeat.

I truly feel ashamed…”

Lan Yuanzhi was not lightly wounded.

His strength was decent, but the number of Water Demons had far exceeded their expectations, and they were all quite formidable, not much weaker than the cultivators from the three mansions.

Li Shipeng ran wildly with him, “These Water Clan members might not only be from Dragon River Mansion; other Water Mansion Demon Clan could have joined in.

We’ve walked right into a trap; it was I who sent out the message, and I am deeply troubled to have led everyone into danger…”

Lan Yuanzhi sighed, “What does this have to do with you?

You were just gathering intelligence.

In the end, Lu Zhongjun made the final decision.

He rushed into action without clarifying the situation; who else can he blame?

Unfortunately, we don’t know how many disciples from Mu Mansion will survive this time.

I have failed Mu Shuai’s trust.”
