Chu Xisheng is already on his way to the Capital City.

At this time, who knows how many throughout Heluo want to weigh his capacity.

It seems the face of the Police Pool of Blood will be stripped off and trampled into the mud with great force.”

Wang Chaoyang clicked his tongue incessantly and shook his head, then with a sweep of his sleeve said, “Let’s speak of serious matters.

I’ve called you here for the sake of Xiushui County.

A great battle is imminent there, and I would like for you to personally go and oversee it.”

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhenqing appeared thoughtful, “Is the great battle Scholar spoke of referring to West Mountain?

Are the Sheen Family and Shangguan Family ready to make a move against West Mountain Hall?”

Wang Chaoyang, however, smiled as he picked up a teacup from the table, “Chu Xisheng has entered the canal.

Even with fast horses and whips, it would take at least three days and nights to return to Xiushui.

With such an opportunity, how could the Sheen Family not take action?”

“Your task in going there is twofold; first, to observe the battle, to see which masters from both sides are noteworthy; second, is to find a way to identify the mysterious fifth-Grade master from West Mountain Hall.

This is of paramount importance, and Master Xie, you must devote yourself fully.

If the Police Pool of Blood cannot ascertain this, then it will have to be handled by Debating Martial Arts Tower.”

Xie Zhenqing’s expression turned grave as he clasped his hands together, “The official understands!

I shall do my utmost.”

Besides compiling “Debating Martial Arts” and establishing various rankings, their Debating Martial Arts Tower also had the responsibility to control Jianghu for the court and the emperor, and to spy information from all over the world.

They spread across the world like a spider’s web, allowing the court to sense every change in the Jianghu.

The unidentified and mysterious fifth-Grade master from West Mountain Hall indeed required attention.

We cannot have an unknown fifth-Grade master in East State.

Meanwhile, in Xiushui County, at Ghost Cry Gorge of West Mountain.

In front of the three stone castles built by the Dan Family, a barrage of arrows descended like locusts.

Countless arrows poured down on the three castles like a torrential downpour, making it impossible for the many clan soldiers of the Dan Family to raise their heads.

Dan Chiling took cover behind a crenellation, his brow furrowed as he looked ahead.

Ghost Cry Gorge was one of two exits from the East Slope of West Mountain, not as treacherous as First Line Gorge.

This gorge was about fifty yards wide, allowing for the formation of a line of hundreds of soldiers.

At this moment, Baiyun Village and Jiudao Dock had combined forces with twelve other groups of West Mountain bandits to form an army of five thousand soldiers in the gorge, bombarding the inside and outside of the castles with Strong Bows and Crossbows continuously.

Their goal was not to cause casualties but to cover for the eight Six-Armed Crossbows and small stone-throwing machines as they approached the castles for close-range bombardment of the walls.

Watching this scene, Dan Chiling’s face turned ashen with indignation.

“These are the heavy weapons from the Xiushui County Army arsenal!

Sheen Zhou actually dares to lend them to those bandits for their use.

That’s audaciously bold.

Later on, I’ll make sure they regret it dearly.”

“Dad, that sounds strange coming from you.

With such assets at his disposal, it would be odd for him not to use them.

Otherwise, how could these bandits assault our stone castles?”

This was spoken by a young man standing next to Dan Chiling.

The young man’s features were handsome, but his appearance was marred by his obesity, squashing his features together.

This man, gracefully waving a goose feather fan, said with composure, “Now, what shall we do?

Sheen Zhou remains still, but once he moves, he strikes like thunder.

West Mountain Hall is now in trouble, especially with Master Chu not around.

Should we really defend this pass?

If we do, our family will surely suffer casualties.

And if we don’t reveal some of our strength, we might not be able to hold it.

Yet if we don’t defend it, letting the Sheen Family take back West Mountain Town, Sheen Zhou will certainly settle scores after the fall, and our family’s previous investments will have been in vain.”

Hearing his words, Dan Chiling gave his eldest son, Dan Ze, a silent look.

The boy spoke as if the matter concerned someone else’s family.

He then shook his head and looked away, “Call over the three hundred house soldiers from home, order all the house guards that not a single bandit must set foot on the wall.

Also send someone eloquent to ask West Mountain Hall for reinforcements.”

Dan Chiling considered that the stone castle was strong and should be able to withstand the assault of the Six-Armed Crossbows and small stone-throwing machines for two or three hours; the Dan Family didn’t need to make a decision too hastily.

At that moment, an arrow shot through, swift as a meteor.

Dan Chiling tilted his head to the side, letting the Wolf-toothed Heavy Arrow whiz past his ear and with a ‘thud’, embed itself in the gate tower.

Noticing a note tied to the arrow, Dan Ze took it down and studied it, then his brow slightly raised, “It’s from the Dock Master of Jiudao Dock, Jinghong Blade Xia Qingtian, and Baiyun Village Chief Meng Yunshan, a letter urging our surrender, telling us to quickly submit and not to be foolish.

If we surrender now, they might still allow the Dan Family to leave West Mountain, otherwise, they will eradicate the Dan Family entirely, not sparing a chicken or dog.

Ah, there’s a distinctive seal from the Sheen Family at the bottom of the note; there must be members of the Sheen Family’s direct lineage hiding among the enemy’s ranks,”

“What a gracious offer to let the Dan Family leave West Mountain.” Dan Chiling smirked bitterly, his face turning a shade greener, “In other words, even if I surrender, they still won’t tolerate the Dan Family?”

Hearing this, Dan Ze responded helplessly, “Father, previously, the Sheen Family had always pocketed the tolls from the several passes in West Mountain.

In their eyes, we’ve committed abetting a traitor and usurping their revenue, a crime worthy of death.

Their offer to let us leave West Mountain already shows remarkable generosity.”

At this point, why doesn’t his father understand the reality of the situation?

The Dan and Shen Families were now locked in a fight to the death!

“Indeed, even if they offered better terms, I would hardly dare to trust them,” Dan Chiling muttered softly with a sigh.
