General of the Heavens

Chapter 56 Severing Ties [Seeking Recommendations]

Rumble!

Ping Mountain, which had stood for thousands of years, collapsed. The massive mountain, with its unstoppable momentum, sent dust billowing into the sky.

Chen Yulou and the other Unloading Ridge Warriors were incredibly fortunate. Standing atop the mountain, they witnessed a spectacular sight: from afar, Ping Mountain, enveloped in a dazzling array of colorful treasure energy, suddenly transformed into a giant funnel!

The sky was filled with colorful clouds that moved with the wind, and the miasma and rainbows drifted away like smoke. The thick fog that had lingered over Ping Mountain for thousands of years also rose up and disappeared into the world when it was exposed to the blazing sun.

The heavens and earth seemed to be undergoing a baptism.

.........

"Someone! Someone! Where are we firing the cannons?"

At the foot of the mountain, Commander Qin was awakened and asked around. Although he was unaware of the various changes that had occurred on Ping Mountain, Luo Laowai's body was brought to him.

Commander Qin's eyes darted around: "Commander Luo is dead. Could it be that Chen Yulou on the mountaintop betrayed Luo Laowai and ran away with the treasure?"

Hahaha! That bastard is finally dead! From this day forward, I am the number one warlord of western Hunan, and the entire western Hunan is mine!

"Assemble! Assemble! Kill Chen Yulou and seize the treasure!" Commander Qin immediately assembled his troops, and five or six thousand men marched toward the mountaintop.

The saying "a leaf before the eyes obscures Mount Tai" perfectly describes this situation. Ping Mountain is covered with ancient trees, making it impossible to see the summit from the foot of the mountain. However, Chen Yulou, standing on the summit, could roughly see the foot of the mountain.

Therefore, when half of Ping Mountain collapsed and slid down, Commander Qin not only didn't realize it, but also thought that Chen Yulou had abandoned Luo Laowai.

The half-section of Ping Mountain possesses immense power, a force of billions of tons. Towering ancient trees appear as fragile as blades of grass before it!

When Commander Qin's troops saw the landslide, they were so frightened that their souls seemed to leave their bodies, and they couldn't escape even if they wanted to!

"Ah...ah...ahhh..."

In just a few minutes, only a handful of the five or six thousand people remained. Most of them died without even knowing what had happened, without even having the chance to be afraid.

How pitiful! How pathetic!

Even Qin Shuai was the same; a great warlord, he died so inexplicably at Ping Mountain. Chen Yulou watched the mountain slide down and closed his eyes slightly.

"A thousand men of the Unloading Ridge faction are not as good as one man!"

After today, only one warlord remains in western Hunan. Unfortunately, Chen Yulou is unaware that Luo Laowai, the only remaining warlord, has already been killed by Ning Chen.

Inside the cave, Partridge Whistle saw Ning Chen come down alone, and Luo Laowai was nowhere to be seen. He couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Third Brother, where did Commander Luo go?"

"He's dead!" Ning Chen replied.

Partridge Whistle stared intently at Ning Chen with his hawk-like eyes. "Third brother, you weren't behind Marshal Luo's death, were you?"

"Oh, it's me!"

"Third brother! Have you gone mad?! We swore an alliance, made an oath, and drank wine together. Why did you kill Commander Luo? How are you going to face Second brother now?!"

Ning Chen chuckled lightly, "I didn't intend to tell him, elder brother. If we don't tell each other, how would second brother know?"

Partridge Whistle stared intently at Ning Chen with his eagle eyes. It seemed that only today did he truly understand Ning Chen.

"A person like you is unworthy to be among us! You murdered your brothers, betrayed your oaths—I never imagined you were this kind of person! From this day forward, all ties between us are severed!"

Partridge Whistle is so fierce, how could he cooperate with Ning Chen to deceive Chen Yulou? People in the greenwood have always valued the word "righteousness" the most!

Ning Chen's actions went against the principles of "righteousness." As the leader of the Mountain Moving Clan, how could Partridge Whistle accept such a person as a brother?

However, Ning Chen was not surprised by Partridge Whistle's reaction. Once he decided to do these things, he no longer had many concerns.

A warlord like Luo Laowai will be purged by the Party within three to five years. Even if Ning Chen doesn't kill him, he won't have a good ending.

That will also implicate Chen Yulou.

Now is the chance to settle all this score. Partridge Whistle may not understand himself, but he will know how right he was in the future.

Although Changsheng Mountain has a big reputation, it also faces many crises. Taking this opportunity to clear their names and side with Chen Yulou will lead them down a different path in life. It can be said that the three of them did not swear brotherhood in vain.

As for Partridge Whistle in front of him, Ning Chen also had a solution: "Big brother, it's okay if you blame me, but which of all the decisions I've made so far has been wrong?"

I don't want to say anything more. Muchen Pearl, haven't you always wanted to find it? Just help me one last time, and I'll tell you where it is!

The tomb raiding expedition at Ping Mountain was nearing its end, and Ning Chen knew that he didn't have much time left... no, he didn't have much time left...

Anyway, the time to return to the main world is almost here, so there's no point in explaining anymore. Ning Chen isn't the type to act based on others' opinions; he just needs to have a clear conscience.

The Muchen Pearl is Partridge Whistle's only weakness. He is willing to do anything for this pearl, and even if Ning Chen threatens him, he can only agree.

For a moment, the cave was completely silent.

After an unknown amount of time, there was no more noise outside. Ning Chen climbed up and went out, only to find that the entrance was blocked. If they didn't break open the hole to let in some fresh air, the two of them would be suffocating here.

However, this was a piece of cake for the battle-hardened Partridge Whistle. The Mountain Digger and the Mountain Digger worked quickly, digging the soil one after the other. In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they had opened up the entrance.

Partridge Whistle leaped out and saw that Commander Qin's camp had been ravaged by the mountain, with corpses scattered everywhere. Some were crushed to a bloody pulp, some were reduced to mere fragments, and some were buried in the earth with only a hooked hand showing.

Of the five or six thousand people, only a handful survived. Ning Chen saw the horrific scene he had caused, and his internal organs churned violently. He vomited on the ground, unable to control himself.

This should count as his first murder.

Five or six thousand people! Who would believe that if I told them?

Bang! Bang! Bang! Gunshots rang out from afar. Ning Chen glanced over and saw that it was Chen Yulou from the mountaintop coming down to clean up the mess.

The bandits of the Unloading Ridge gang, along with the soldiers from the Pistol Battalion, took turns finishing off the prisoners. Now was not the time to keep the captives; the treasures on the mountaintop were the most important thing.

Seeing that Ning Chen and Partridge Whistle were safe and sound, Chen Yulou was overjoyed. He quickly ran over, looked them up and down, and then patted them on the shoulder.

"Good brothers, I knew you guys were alright!"

Partridge Whistle had no expression on his face and didn't speak. Ning Chen forced a smile, but his face was pale, and he was clearly not in good condition.

Chen Yulou, puzzled, immediately asked, "Where is Commander Luo? Thanks to my third brother, from now on he's the number one warlord in western Hunan!"

Upon hearing this, Partridge Whistle clenched his fists tightly, glaring at Ning Chen as he hesitated. Ning Chen, undeterred, stared at Partridge Whistle, waiting for his reply.

Finally, Partridge Whistle shoved Chen Yulou aside. "Second brother, I'm sorry, I broke my promise to protect Marshal Luo! Junior sister, junior brother, let's go!"

Partridge Whistle grabbed Hua Ling and the old foreigner and headed down the mountain without looking back. Chen Yulou couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw Partridge Whistle's strong reaction.

"Third brother, what happened to Marshal Luo?"

Speaking of Luo Laowai, Ning Chen sighed and said, "I was so stupid, really. All I knew was that I couldn't let Commander Luo get angry and anger Commander Qin..."
