New and dark light years

Chapter 493 Gathering from All Directions, the Tribulation of the Immortal Slaying Assembly
Zeng Hongluo's words were not straightforward, and even contained some self-deprecating elements. Saying it like that would make her seem like a... crazy woman.

But everyone understood what she meant.

She was practically saying outright, "I'd rather give it to Paper Prince for free than let you get it."

The vast majority of gang members around here are men, and everyone actually knows what Young Master Zheng is up to.

Zheng Shaoxia's expression was also quite unpleasant at this moment.

He could feel the gazes around him, filled with a curious, almost mocking, interest in watching a good show.

Just as he was about to speak, one of Zheng Shaoxia's friends stepped forward and said, "No matter how good-looking that Paper Prince is, can he be as handsome as our Chief Zheng?"

Zeng Hongluo chuckled, then gently covered her mouth and said, "In the martial arts world, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames. Paper Prince... he's a prince, but Young Master Zheng's nickname is 'Sword Madman,' they're different."

Zheng Shaoxia is indeed good-looking, but only slightly better than the average man.

Unlike Li Lin, who was already described as "a person as beautiful as jade" even before spiritual energy entered his body.

Now that I've cultivated spiritual energy and reached the Foundation Establishment stage, both my aura and the texture of my skin are much stronger than before.

Describing him as an exceptionally handsome man is not an exaggeration at all.

Otherwise, Zeng Hongluo wouldn't have met Li Lin and developed the idea of ​​becoming his concubine.

This wasn't just because Li Lin's family was wealthy. There were plenty of wealthy people, and many high-ranking officials and nobles were interested in Zeng Hongluo, but she wasn't interested in any of them.

At this moment, Zheng Shaoxia's expression grew increasingly unpleasant. He felt that he was being looked down upon by the woman in front of him, but with so many people present, he couldn't afford to make a scene. He could only force a smile and say, "A true man should stand tall between heaven and earth with lofty aspirations and ambitions, not be judged by his appearance."

"It was your lackey who wanted to compare with them; I was just stating the facts."

Some people around laughed out loud, but quickly covered their mouths.

Zheng Shaoxia scanned the area but couldn't find who made the sound, so he had to give up. He looked at Zeng Hongluo and said, "Chief Zeng, since you were insulted by Li Lin, then... you must hate him very much."

This remark made many men laugh.

After all... watching women, especially beautiful women, make fools of themselves and gossip about them is something many men enjoy.

"so what."

Zeng Hongluo, however, did not pay much attention.

To be honest, she secretly hoped that Li Lin would 'humiliate' her.

Judging from how well-fed Chu Rengong looks every morning when she wakes up, you can tell how well she 'eats'.

She started out in the underworld at seventeen, and now at twenty-five, she's considered an old woman, and she desperately wants to get married.

But even if you're going to get married, you have to marry a good one.

After meeting someone like Li Lin, she lost interest in other men.

Seeing Zeng Hongluo's indifferent expression, Zheng Shaoxia knew that he couldn't sway this woman's mind. He regretted coming to provoke her.

Indeed... one should not be arrogant, but rather have a clear understanding of oneself.

Zheng Shaoxia began to reflect in his heart, and then he clasped his hands and said, "I just want to say that once we catch Li Lin, we will definitely have Zeng Duo take the initiative to kill him personally to relieve your hatred."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Hongluo was somewhat puzzled. Why was Chief Zheng backing down?

But she did not continue to 'pursue' the matter. Instead, she cupped her hands in return and said, 'Then thank you very much, Chief Zheng.'

"it's okay no problem."

Young Master Zheng waved his hand and walked to the side.

Zeng Hongluo sat down again, intending to continue to keep a low profile, after all, she was now an inside agent.

It's better not to be so aggressive.

Zheng Shaoxia glanced at Zeng Hongluo out of the corner of his eye, then called out, "Brothers, hurry up and rest and eat. We need to get to Peiyang County before dark."

Seeing that there was no "show" to watch, the members of the Zhuxian Society all put aside their thoughts.

Young Master Zheng also sat down and ate the dry flatbread.

When you're traveling, having flatbread to eat is already a blessing.

The hundreds of people then continued their journey.

Although they weren't as disciplined as an army, five hundred people wasn't a large number, and they didn't seem too disorganized when they moved together.

As evening approached, a city came into view in the setting sun.

Everyone laughed. Once they arrived in Peiyang, they could finally get some rest.

After all, they had already traveled for four days.

"Walk……"

Just as Young Master Zheng was about to say something, he suddenly saw a flock of birds take flight from the woods beside the official road.

He immediately shouted, "Watch out, there's an ambush in the woods!"

Generally speaking, by evening, most birds have already gone into hibernation.

Unless something very large or a large group of people in the woods has disturbed them.

Sure enough, as soon as Young Master Zheng finished speaking, a dense volley of arrows shot out from the woods.

These people are all martial arts masters with extremely fast reflexes.

When Zheng Shaoxia shouted, they had already looked towards the woods.

As soon as the arrows took flight, they reacted immediately.

Some people escaped using extremely fast agility techniques.

Some people used weapons to parry and block.

Some even hid behind their companions.

Although these people responded correctly, it was still a barrage of arrows nonetheless.

Some female members of the Zhuxian Society who were not strong enough or had obvious weaknesses were hit by arrows.

For a moment, there were screams.

Zeng Hongluo had already hidden behind a tree behind the official road. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, but she quickly composed herself.

In her opinion, this ambush was carried out by Li Lin's men.

After all, she had already passed on the intelligence.

If Li Lin isn't stupid, he'll definitely have set up an ambush.

She, on the other hand, had to find a way to leave this place.

After I get out, I'll go find Li Lin to curry favor. Maybe he can make me... a concubine.

But... the thought that she had lost her virginity through masturbation made her heart ache.

What a cruel heart this lover has!

Just as she was lost in thought, she heard Young Hero Zheng standing on the official road shouting: "Who are you, you coward, daring to ambush my Immortal Slaying Society?"

But what awaited him was another volley of arrows.

Young Master Zheng was also formidable; with a long sword in his hand, he swung it, creating a dazzling display of silver light, and managed to deflect all the arrows.

Around him were a large number of broken arrows.

Zeng Honglu frowned at this moment.

Because although these two waves of arrows looked like a lot of arrows, in her opinion, there were actually few.

If it were an ambush by an army, it would be impossible for it to be just a single volley of a hundred or so arrows.

Beep beep beep!

Applause came from the woods, and at that moment a young man emerged from the woods.

The setting sun slanted down on him, and the orange-yellow light made him look particularly gentle and beautiful.

What a fine young man!

Everyone in the Zhuxian Society couldn't help but think the same thing.

Zeng Honglu thought to herself: He's not much better than Li Lin.

After the young man emerged, he was followed by a group of people dressed in identical gray robes. Several star-shaped markings were tattooed on the chest of their robes.

"Who are you?" Young Hero Zheng asked.

"Master of the Star-Picking Pavilion, Chu Feng."

Zheng Shaoxia frowned. He had previously thought that the young and handsome man was Li Lin, and that his information had been leaked.

But if it's the Star-Picking Tower, then it's understandable.

After all, since its appearance several years ago, the Star-Picking Tower has been secretly chasing the Immortal Execution Society like a mad dog, causing them considerable losses.

However, the Zhuxian Society's goal has always been to assassinate the emperor, so they can't be bothered with them.

"So you are Chu Feng? Why are you blocking our way here?" Young Hero Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Li Lin sent you?"

"Hahaha, it wasn't the military governor who sent us." Chu Feng laughed. "The Li family of Jin County is a prestigious family. Our Zhaixing Tower has no right to associate with them. I'm here simply because I don't like you."

Young Master Zheng glanced behind Chu Feng, then snorted and said, "You only have less than two hundred people, while we have five hundred... You dare to fight us?"

“You don’t need so many people to deal with a bunch of chickens and dogs.” Chu Feng’s voice turned cold as he said, “I came out here to let you know who killed you, so that you can cry to your ancestors when you get to the underworld.”

"How arrogant!" Young Hero Zheng snorted, then shouted, "Gentlemen, let's fight together!"

At this moment, more than four hundred members of the Zhuxian Society had already formed a fan shape to surround the small forest where Zhaixing Tower was located.

Just as they were about to charge, they suddenly saw a large group of people rushing towards them from the direction of Peiyang County.

There are about two hundred people.

These people looked like a motley crew, and none of them were wearing uniforms.

But they were very imposing, because each of them came on horseback.

Horses were a rather expensive mode of transportation in this era.

That's roughly equivalent to each person driving a nice car.

The group followed the official road and stopped about twenty feet from the battlefield. The young man leading the group then said, "It's so lively. It seems there are quite a few people dissatisfied with the Immortal Execution Society."

Another group of people arrived.

Chu Feng looked at the leading man, clasped his hands in greeting, and asked, "Are you the leader of the Tianyi Sect, the great hero An Xin?"

The young man on horseback clasped his hands in a fist salute and asked, "That is indeed me. May I ask your name, sir?"

"Chu Feng of Zhaixinglou!"

“Oh, those are our own people.” An Xin laughed.

Li Lin had mentioned the Star-Picking Tower to him, since it was essential intelligence that needed to be shared.

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, then asked, "You are also..."

"The Immortal Seeking Gathering," An Xin said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of everyone in the Zhuxian Society turned extremely sharp.

They are the 'Immortal Slaughtering Society', while this is the Immortal Seeking Society. Just by hearing their names, you know they will be mortal enemies.

At this moment, Young Master Zheng's eyes were serious.

He was confident in dealing with the Star-Picking Tower, but dealing with both the Star-Picking Tower and this Seeking Immortals Society that had appeared out of nowhere was a bit troublesome.

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Anxin, your Tianyi Sect has established some kind of Immortal Seeking Society. Aren't you afraid that after we, the Immortal Slaughtering Society, go out and tell the Grand Master about this, we'll wipe out your entire sect?"

An Xin laughed and said, "Kill them all, leave no one alive, then no one will know about the Immortal Seeking Society!"

Chu Feng laughed loudly upon hearing this, "Haha, that makes perfect sense."

Zheng Shaoxia was a very clever man. When he heard the other party say that, he sensed that something was wrong.

At this moment, he immediately said, "Run! The enemy is prepared!"

After saying that, he fled in the direction he had come from, at an extremely fast speed.

There were no fools in the Zhuxian Guild. The moment Young Hero Zheng shouted "Run!", they all immediately ran after him.

Chu Feng was getting anxious and was about to send someone to give chase when he saw An Xin wave his hand at him.

Although he was puzzled, he did not give the order to pursue, as instructed.

By this time, it was already dark. The people had not run far when they saw two 'fire dragons' emerging from the woods on either side of the official road.

As they got closer, they saw that the so-called fire dragon was actually just a large number of people carrying torches walking out, creating the illusion.

These people in the county were all men wearing leather armor or lamellar armor.

army!

Before long, the two fire dragons merged, blocking the Zhuxian Society's retreat.

"Form ranks!" shouted a man clad in gleaming armor.

Thousands of swordsmen and shieldmen held their shields in front of them.

Behind them were spearmen, and further behind them, a menacing array of archers.

Upon seeing this, Young Hero Zheng roared, "It's the soldiers of Jin County! How could they have ambushed us here beforehand? Who leaked the information? Who was it?"

His expression was manic, his eyes filled with disbelief and extreme resentment.

He had finally climbed to the position of branch leader and had finally caught the eye of the head leader; his future seemed bright.

But now, they are surrounded.

Whether he can escape this time or not, his future is ruined.

The Zhuxian Society would not leave behind someone who would cause the organization huge losses.

His gaze swept over the members of the Zhuxian Society behind him; in his eyes, everyone was a traitor and a suspect.

But he didn't really suspect Zeng Hongluo.

Because at this moment, Zeng Hongluo was hiding in the crowd, concealing herself.

The so-called traitor is someone who, at crucial moments, remains unseen and unnoticed.

The general of the Jin County army raised his longsword, drew it forward, and shouted, "Release the arrows!"

Like a real downpour, countless arrows fell.

Compared to the arrow barrage from the Star Tower, the arrow barrage from the army was as weak as a gentle spring rain.

The Zhuxian Society, numbering over four hundred, frantically blocked the arrows while desperately fleeing towards Peiyang County.

But there were too many arrows, and hundreds of people were hit in an instant.

"Second wave, upper moon!"

Archery takes time.

The more than 300 surviving members of the Zhuxian Society were so frightened by this scene that they turned and ran away.

They could not withstand another volley of arrows.

There isn't enough energy to squander.

Young Master Zheng charged forward, determined to create an opening on the official road, or they would all be doomed.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot!
Sword Maniac... Zeng Hongluo is right, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

Although Zheng Shaoxia was in despair, he also mustered all his courage.

He rushed towards Anxin without regard for anything else.

At this moment, An Xin dismounted, assumed a horse stance, focused his energy into his fist, and then unleashed a powerful punch.

It was a very simple punch.

But then a huge wave of air surged in, kicking up a lot of mud and dust from the ground.

It looks like a yellow flying dragon.

"Tianyi Sect, Dragon-Capturing Fist Technique!" Chu Feng muttered to himself, "But its power shouldn't be this great."
