A short while earlier, in front of the Central Army’s formation, Xiaang Kui was also hurrying back.

He had just been in pursuit of a Seventh Grade Martial Cultivator, and, by accident, he had chased too deep and lost touch with his own troops.

Halfway through his rush back, he noticed someone familiar beside him.

“Wang Zheng?”

It was Wang Zheng from the Southern Heavenly Gate, who was also using a movement technique, sprinting at full speed.

Xiaang Kui noticed an extra small bag on the waist of Wang Zheng, from which blood was dripping.

Xiang Kui narrowed his eyes, then scoffed coldly, “It seems that Brother Wang has made quite the bounty.”

He sensed that the items in that bag were all valuable Magic Artifacts.

Wang Zheng, with a hint of mockery in his eyes, slanted a look at Xiaang Kui from the Northern Heavenly Gate, “You’re no different, if not more covetous than I.”

Indeed, Xiaang Kui’s waist area was also bulging.

Wang Zheng’s bag contained only a few small items; as for the larger Magic Artifacts, he had buried them deep underground.

But Magic Artifacts have a strong reaction to Spiritual Power and might not remain hidden until he came to collect them.

Previously at the Wen Family Castle, only three of the items Wang Zheng had hidden were recovered.

Xiaang Kui then laughed ruefully, “Coming from a poor family, I had no assets for cultivation and had no choice but to become a spy.

Today, when an opportunity to make an extra profit presents itself, I couldn’t bear to pass it up.”

It wasn’t just about the extra profit, though.

In his heart, Xiaang Kui was also reluctant to see the fall of the West Mountain Hall.

Perhaps it was because Chu Xisheng had already garnered the attention of the Formless Divine Sect.

There is a saying that it is pleasant to bask in the shade of a large tree.

Later, when he wanted to infiltrate the Formless Divine Sect, wouldn’t Brother Chu become a ready-made “big leg” to cling to?

It could also be because of the subsidy—he was already infiltrating the West Mountain Hall, and the Beitian Sect had given an additional one hundred taels of Demon Silver a month on top of the original base.

Xiaang Kui himself could not quite understand what he really thought, but just now, when the thick fog had rolled in, he had fought with all his might as if in a frenzy.

At that moment, Xiaang Kui’s expression turned grave again, “You saw those dozens of Red Light Talismans just now, didn’t you?

Junior brother Wang, what do you think?”

“What is there to think?

It seems that neither the West Mountain Hall nor the Iron Banner Gang will fall easily.

This place is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, its depths unfathomable and immeasurable.”

Wang Zheng pondered that there must be a great secret hidden within the West Mountain Hall.

He said nothing more, because the fog surrounding them had thinned out, blown northward by the southwesterly wind.

Wang Zheng increased his pace and finally managed to rejoin his troops before the fog completely dissipated.

When the fog had fully cleared, Wang Zheng, attempting to appear nonchalant, was briefly stunned.

He discovered that his own Chaotic Word Altar had penetrated nearly nine zhang into the enemy formation!

Within a two-zhang radius around them, there was not a living person in sight.

Most importantly, in front of them, there lay a vast expanse of corpses.

From their formation’s front to twenty zhang ahead, there were no longer any living people standing.

The formation of the Xiushui County Army had been breached with a gap five zhang wide.

“Damn it!”

Internally, Wang Zheng cursed, his thoughts sinking into darkness.

There were too many hidden figures within their altar, killing too fiercely in the fog!

Xiaang Kui’s face stiffened as well, and then, feeling a tremendous headache, he rubbed his forehead, wondering how to explain this development?

At this moment, of the twenty-five sub-altars of the West Mountain Hall, even the most elite ‘Liang’ altar had only penetrated less than three zhang into the enemy formation under the leadership of Zhoou Liangchen; and the bravest ‘Xi’ altar had also crumbled the two most elite Hundred Households of the county army under the leadership of Liu Ruoxi.

Yet their ‘Chaotic’ altar, without any altar master leading, had delved nearly nine zhang into the enemy lines and crushed all the enemies in front of them in less than 15 minutes—how was he supposed to explain that to his superiors?

Ji Qianqian, who had returned to her original position, also witnessed this scene.

Her brows furrowed slightly.

What were these spies and traitors truly aiming for, fighting so fiercely?

It was at this moment that Ji Qianqian heard a buzzing sound of something tearing through the air.

She looked up towards the source of the sound, only to see a barrage of arrows darkening the sky.

These volleys came from the southwest.

12,000 hunters under Chu Xisheng had nearly 9,000 of them quietly move to the top of a mountain to the southwest, taking advantage of the fog to form their ranks.

——This was Chu Xisheng’s trump card for defeating the enemy.

Leveraging the southwesterly wind, they increased the range and power of their hunting bows to strike at the enemy formation!

They anticipated that when the opposition tried to dispel the fog, they would also enhance the strength of the southwesterly wind.

Now it seemed, this trump card had become gilding the lily.

The Xiushui Family Alliance Army opposite had been too confident in their overall strength and had failed to disperse the fog immediately.

But who could have expected this?

Even Ji Qianqian had not foreseen that such a small West Mountain Hall could be so full of hidden tigers and dragons.

Meanwhile, in front of the city gate tower, there was complete panic.

Of the fifteen family heads of Inner City Families who had withdrawn here before the battle, only nine remained.

Many experts of fifth and sixth Grade had been reduced to less than half.

But what caused them more panic at the moment was the sight of the Sky Covering barrage of arrows.

This single volley had cleared a corner of the right wing of the Xiushui Alliance Army.

Over a thousand people had been lethally shot by the dense barrage of arrows that rained down.

Among these nine thousand arrows, only a small part were Armor-Piercing and Gang-breaking Rune Heavy Arrows.

Even for practitioners like Sheen Zhou and Shangguan Shen Hao, who had reached the formidable level of the Fifth Grade, their countenance turned grim and wary at the sight.
