The excitement mixed with disgust following the fierce battle made his face flush and left him continuously dry heaving.

At this moment, the two hundred hunters led by Wei Yang and now under Ji Yuan’s command shared a similar expression.

Some of the younger ones even broke from the ranks, ran outside, and vomited.

They looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes, shocked and excited, with a bit of fear and a touch of pride—

Including Ji Yuan, everyone had one thought in their mind—could they really be this powerful?

Everyone just stood on the mountain, following Wei Yang’s orders—Draw!

Release!

And release again!

What they did was similar to when Liu Dingtang, who controlled West Mountain, called them to battle.

Everyone just drew their bows more forcefully, aimed more carefully, and poured all their True Yuan into their arrows.

No one wanted to live their previous lives again.

They didn’t want to be exploited by Liu Dingtang and the Sheen Family anymore or to barely make any money from the game and mountain goods they harvested every year.

Nobody wanted their glimpse of a better life to slip through their fingers, so they exercised their archery skills to the fullest without reservation.

—And then they unleashed a massacre!

The Xiushui County Army stood no chance against their barrage of arrows.

Where the rain of arrows fell, it was fiercely sharp and invincible, scattering everything, leaving hardly any survivors.

They had only drawn their bows twelve times, their arms hadn’t even started to feel sore.

The seemingly strong nine thousand men of the Xiushui County Army had already disintegrated and suffered heavy casualties!

Correspondingly, the casualties on their side, the West Mountain Hall, were incredibly slight, with only a few members at the very front at the foot of the mountain sustaining injuries.

After the initial shock and panic had passed, the feeling of nausea gradually subsided within them, and pleasure, excitement, and pride began to fill their chests.

First, a few screams that sounded like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves emerged from the military formation.

Then, in less than a moment, this howling infected the entire army.

Everyone roared like madmen, shouting wildly, venting the emotions in their hearts.

Their cries were chaotic—some just screamed, while others shouted “West Mountain prevails!”, “West Mountain is invincible!”, “Even the Sheen Family has its days!”, “Enough of these scum!”, or “Willing to die for Master Chu!” These voices mixed together, rolling like thunder through the valley.

Ji Yuan was rather reserved by nature and did not join in the shouting.

But at that moment, his lips curled up slightly, feeling as if the grievances, suppressed anger, hatred, and helplessness that had built up over a decade were all being vented at once.

He thought that from now on, no one could bully these hunters anymore, no one could dismiss them anymore!

At this moment at the foot of Black Bear Mountain, Li Shenshan was meticulously paying his respects to Chu Yunyun.

He bent forward with his hands clasped, his expression exceptionally respectful, “The tally has been properly completed.

Over six thousand two hundred of Xiushui County Army have died, with another eleven hundred wounded.

As for our side, only thirty-seven have died and a little over two hundred wounded, all casualties occurred during Xiushui County Army’s desperate final charge against our ranks.

Today’s battle has granted West Mountain Hall a complete victory with extremely minimal losses.

This is all thanks to the miss’s divine deployment and appropriate strategies.

I, Li, am thoroughly impressed and in awe.”

“What divine deployment?”

Chu Yunyun, however, couldn’t help but laugh, slightly shaking her head, “I know nothing of military strategy, it was all thanks to your and Wei Yang’s efforts that we could crush the enemy in one fell swoop.

And this merit should not be counted on me, Altar Master Li, the person you truly should admire is my brother!”

She gestured around, “If it wasn’t for my brother’s management and skills, no matter how appropriate my strategies were today, we wouldn’t have achieved such an easy victory.”

Even though Chu Xisheng was not in West Mountain, he had arranged everything here clearly and cleanly.

Chu Yunyun had great confidence in her own military strategies, believing that there were few in the world who could match her in military tactics.

But when it came to managing properties, winning people’s hearts, and making good use of “talents,” Chu Yunyun couldn’t help but hold some admiration for Chu Xisheng.

Li Shenshan’s expression faltered, he turned his head and looked around at the West Mountain Hunters covering the mountainside, listening to their calls that resembled a tsunami, lost in thought.

Then he bowed again, “Subordinate congratulates the Hall Master and the miss!

After this battle, the heart of the West Mountain Hunters will be entirely ours!

With these seven thousand five hundred sets of bows and swords, this six hundred li of West Mountain will fall into the hands of the Hall Master.

Even the entirety of Xiushui County won’t dare to confront us directly anymore.

Chu Yunyun heard this, but shook her head again.

Though collecting those seven thousand five hundred sets of bows and swords indeed could stabilize the foundation of West Mountain Hall, to say it controlled six hundred li of West Mountain was still too premature.

She then said with her hands behind her back, “Let’s not speak anymore of flattery.

Have everyone quickly clean up the battlefield.

Before it gets dark, every piece of intact military equipment must be collected into the storage, and all the wounded must be treated.

Master Lu, have some people from West Mountain Town around Hunter Village call out some ministers and womenfolk to set up huts to take care of the wounded.”

Chu Yunyun instructed Lu Pingyuan, and then turned her gaze towards the southern canyon, “After it gets dark, we will arrange our troops for a visit to Xiushui County.

Not only the more than a thousand gang members and seven thousand five hundred hunters but the Dan Family must also deploy five hundred troops, and the rest local tyrants and large families must contribute three thousand house soldiers.

This matter will also be entrusted to Master Lu.

Send out a few reconnoitre cavalry, to communicate my order.

Tell them, after sunset, they must gather south of West Mountain Town.

West Mountain Hall will mobilize twelve thousand people to march towards Xiushui County!”

“Xiushui County?” Li Shenshan furrowed his brow, uncertain.

Could the miss be thinking of using this army to attack the county?

“It is for deterrence!

To show force!”

Chu Yunyun gave Li Shenshan a sidelong glance, “The Iron Banner Gang Headquarters has contributed greatly for West Mountain Hall, now it’s time for West Mountain Hall to repay them.”

Li Shenshan immediately understood.

Chu Yunyun’s move was to alleviate the pressure on the Iron Banner Gang.

With these twelve thousand people for deterrence, it’s enough to prevent the Shangguan Family and Sheen Family from acting rashly.

Iron Banner Gang can also mobilize all of their forces to contest against the upstream and Seventeen Linked Wharves.
