Chapter 267: Chapter 246 Knife in Hand, Follow Me! (20,000 Subscriptions Requested)_2 Chapter 267: Chapter 246 Knife in Hand, Follow Me! (20,000 Subscriptions Requested)_2 Elder Fu’s pupils shrank deeply as he thought about the information he had gathered earlier. Recently, the Changle Gang had received considerable help from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau; otherwise, they would not have been able to hold out amid a joint assault from the Azure Flood Dragon Association and Dragon Tiger Sect.

The thunderous rumble of horse hooves shook the heavens, stirring up dust that stained the sky a dark yellow. From afar, a hundred cavalries of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau approached rapidly, and Shi Yunlong bellowed:

“Disciples of the Changle Gang, mount up!”

Faced with the Gang Leader’s command, all disciples of the Changle Gang instantly straightened their expressions and rapidly mounted the horses that had been prepared earlier, their gazes sharp as they watched the incoming Heavenly Patrol Guards.

Some even gripped the handles of their sabers nervously.

However, the Gang Leader did not signal any intention to attack, so they could only suppress the various emotions stirring within them.

“Hush~”

About thirty meters apart, Chen Yuan pulled on the reins, and his horse neighed, rearing up its front half. At the command ‘stop’ from Lu Yang, all the Heavenly Patrol Guards simultaneously pulled their reins, their movements uniform.

In terms of elite forces, no power in Nanling Prefecture could compare to the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

“Brother Yunlong.”

Chen Yuan greeted with a bow from afar.

Shi Yunlong’s mouth curved into a smile, and he laughed loudly:

“Lord Chen.”

The two men looked at each other without words, but the meanings in their eyes were clear. Thereafter, Shi Yunlong instructed the disciples of the Changle Gang behind him:

“Disciples of the Changle Gang, obey orders. Today, everyone must follow the commands of Patrol Envoy Chen, including myself. Those who disobey… shall be executed!”

The disciples of the Changle Gang exchanged glances and declared loudly:

“We obey the order!”

“We obey the order…”

“Greetings to Patrol Envoy Chen.”

“Greetings to Patrol Envoy Chen…”

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, and without any formalities with Shi Yunlong, he raised the Yan Ling Saber in his hand and shouted loudly:

“With saber in hand, follow me!”

Then, suddenly loosening the reins and spurring his horse, he surged forward like a cannonball, leading the way.

The two hundred followers on horseback thundered after him.

A smile still played on Shi Yunlong’s face, and he thought to himself that young men indeed enjoy this kind of fervor.

They had discussed earlier that he and Chen Yuan would command equally, but upon reflecting later, Shi Yunlong felt that Chen Yuan, being young and vigorous, would certainly value face and pride. Hence, it seemed better to hand over the command during battle to him.

Now, it appeared this move was the right one.

How could a genius of the Hidden Dragon List, renowned across Qingzhou, lack even a trace of arrogance?

After all, his own offer was merely a courtesy, and Chen Yuan would not actually order him around.

Thinking this, Shi Yunlong’s gaze continued to scan the vicinity, looking for Tao Qingyuan’s whereabouts.

However, what he didn’t know was that Chen Yuan only wanted to avoid trouble, preferring this simple approach.

…

…

Dragon Tiger Sect.

Ever since Chen Yuan had single-handedly broken through and left the Dragon Tiger Sect unscathed, the sect’s defenses had multiplied overnight for peace of mind and to demonstrate their strength.

They wanted those who ridiculed the Dragon Tiger Sect to know that the sect had merely been caught off guard temporarily, not defeated!

Thus, there were nearly twenty people guarding the mountain gate.

“Hey, Brother Wu, the person who caused havoc in our Dragon Tiger Sect previously, do you think it was really that Chen Yuan from the top hundred of the Hidden Dragon List?”

A newly initiated disciple asked quietly.

“Is that something you should be asking?”

Brother Wu’s expression darkened slightly.

“I… I was just asking…”

“Just guard the gate and quit thinking about such nonsense.”

The inquiring disciple curled his lips and thought to himself that standing half a day was tiresome, and who wouldn’t want to find something to chat about to distract themselves?

About twenty breaths later, the eyebrows of the disciple who had just spoken furrowed, and he asked again:

“Brother Wu, did you hear something?”

“Stop making conversation out of nothing.”

Brother Wu scolded.

The inquiring disciple expressed his grievance, “Brother Wu, I’m not making idle chat. There’s really a rumbling sound.”

Brother Wu’s brows knitted, and he glanced at him:

“My cultivation is superior to yours, and my senses far exceed yours – how come I can’t hear anything?”

“Brother Wu, really… I’ve had keen ears since I was a child. Wait… that sound is getting closer and louder…” The disciple’s expression suddenly shifted.

Just as Brother Wu was about to rebuke him again, his ears twitched, and he too heard a rumbling noise. His eyes narrowed as he thought of the darkest day a few days ago.

It seemed…

the premonition had sounded like this too.

“I heard it too.”

“What is that sound?”

It felt a bit… a bit familiar.

“No, these are the sounds of hooves, and there are at least two hundred people,” the first person who had spoken exclaimed with widened eyes.

“How can you tell?”

“You… you’ll see soon enough…”

The disciple, pointing towards the yellowish dust in the distance, murmured.

Following his raised hand, the other Dragon Tiger Sect disciples looked over and indeed, about a kilometer away, the dust stirred up was over ten meters high.

The sound of over two hundred horses stomping on the ground was incredibly trembling.

Brother Wu’s form trembled violently as he shouted:

“Invasion, someone is invading, go inform the Sect Leader quickly!”

“Swoosh!”

As soon as Brother Wu’s words fell, an arrow broke through the air and in the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Brother Wu, piercing through him and pinning him to the ground.

Mo Donghe grinned, stuffing a clove of garlic into his mouth and laughed:

“Lord, how is my archery?”

“Not bad.”

Chen Yuan glanced at him and pointed with his hand.

Nearly eighty Heavenly Patrol Guards swiftly took down their crossbows from their horses, drew their bows, and let loose a volley.

Eighty arrows enveloped the few gatekeeping Dragon Tiger Sect disciples like a net from heaven, trapping them completely. Just a single volley brought most of them down,

leaving only about four or five of them frantically running towards the mountain, shouting as they ran:

“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”

Inside the Dragon Tiger Sect’s council hall.

Sect Leader Xu Lingtian was taking a nap, his right arm resting on his forehead, and suddenly his brow furrowed as he heard some shouting outside, and upon listening more carefully,

a roaring sound was drawing near.

Startled, Xu Lingtian abruptly opened his eyes, realizing something was amiss.

As he had just woken up, the old Sect Leader Xu Yongnian had also arrived, exchanging glances with him:

“We are under attack!”

“Who could it be?”

Xu Lingtian asked subconsciously, his gaze flickering, as if thinking of someone.

“Whoever it is, if they dare to cause trouble at our Dragon Tiger Sect, they’ll not leave here alive!” Xu Yongnian, clothed in a black robe, stirred up, his body surrounded by continuous Gang Qi, his anger at its peak.

The issues from last time were still unresolved, and yet again another conflict had arisen. It seemed that the Dragon Tiger Sect had been stable for too long, making those who coveted the Dragon Tiger Sect begin to scheme.

Xu Lingtian stepped forward, drawing his treasured sword with a clang:

“Disciples of the Dragon Tiger Sect, form up and defend!”

His voice, infused with Gang Qi, spread across several miles. The frantic disciples of the Dragon Tiger Sect on the mountain slope were reassured, and upon seeing that figure in the sky, they immediately felt they had a leader.

As practiced on normal days, several, or perhaps dozens of disciples, grouped together.

Xu Lingtian let out a sigh of relief, then abruptly looked up, as a storm of arrows thundered down. His gaze darkened, and with a horizontal sweep of his sword, a wave of Sword Qi roared out, shattering most of the arrow barrage.

Xu Yongnian pointed his sword at the sky, multiple waves of Sword Qi erupted forth, erasing the leftover arrows, and he bellowed furiously:

“Who dares to intrude upon our Dragon Tiger Sect?”

Chen Yuan and Shi Yunlong strode through the air, glanced at Xu Lingtian and Xu Yongnian, and sneered, the corners of their mouths showing a hint of disdain.

“It’s been a day like three autumns without seeing you, Sect Leader Xu…”

“It’s you.”

“Chen Yuan!”

Xu Lingtian and Xu Yongnian’s faces turned frosty as they questioned in unison:

“What are you up to?”

“What am I up to?” Chen Yuan didn’t respond to their questions but instead drew a scroll filled with charges from his bosom, declaring aloud:

“Dragon Tiger Sect of Nanling Prefecture colluded with the demons of the No-Life Sect, framing and entrapping imperial officials, secretly collaborating with the Azure Flood Dragon Association to nibble away at imperial interests, wantonly slaughtering the innocent,

earning the wrath of heaven and man. By the order of Nanling Prefecture’s Heavenly Patrol Green Envoy Tao Qingyuan, all of Dragon Tiger Sect shall be exterminated as a warning to others!”

Releasing his fingers, the scroll fluttered down.

The entire Dragon Tiger Sect fell deathly silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
