ar before him. A head bobbed on its tip in the wind.Tamm hadn't expected Takli to fall so quickly, so decisively that even their entire cavalry force was rendered helpless."Where are those escaped ho..."Your Highness."
"Zhang Liyang, you're back."
In the Xue Lin Garden, Mu Yinghua, who had been worried for days, saw Zhang Liyang and her face immediately lit up with a smile.
"Your Highness must have been worried."
It should be me who has troubled you.
They looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing together, "Haha…"
Two people who are both alone in the world without any family, brought together by the entanglement of fate. One is struggling to break free from their cage and fight for their own destiny, while the other is constantly climbing upwards as they recover their pride.
How are the Xue family and the Jia family doing
"There have already been bloody clashes, with people injured and even killed in the past few days."
Although Mu Yinghua stayed at Xue Lin Manor, Cai Ning would come by every one or two days to tell her about what was happening in Feilong City.
Logically speaking, Cai Ning wouldn't need to report to Mu Yinghua about things happening in Flying Dragon City. However, everything that is stirring up in Flying Dragon City now is either orchestrated by Mu Yinghua or the eunuch around her.
He Cai Ning couldn't move or make anything happen, but Zhang Liyang could. As the highest governing official, Cai Ning received what Zhang Liyang accomplished.
It's more about strengthening the connection with Zhang Liyang than reporting to Mu Yinghua.
According to Zhang Liyang's plan, once the two parties clashed, he would just sit back and watch them fight until one of them was completely destroyed.
But Bai Jia's affairs weighed heavily on Zhang Liyang's heart. Although he had promptly buried the group from the Bai family in a windswept and desolate wasteland and even took care of a scout sent by the Bai family on their way back, preventing information from reaching them.
But Zhang Liyang couldn't guarantee that the Bai family would be able to deduce anything from this disappearance on their own, and Zhang Liyang couldn't possibly stay outside the city every day to prevent the Bai family's investigation.
"The pace is a bit slow; I need to speed up their conflict."
His finger tapped lightly on the table, and Zhang Liyang's narrowed eyes flickered with a chilling light.
"Yuan Li."
"That's it."
"Send someone to track down Xue Ping's whereabouts, and also track down Jia Yun's."
Xue Ping, the eldest grandson of the Xue family, is also Jia Yun, the eldest grandson of the Jia family, who is also the only son of the Jia family. Of course, after losing Xue An, Xue Ping also became the only heir of the Xue family.
To force the two sides to make a final stand, they must be driven completely insane. How do you drive them insane Cut off their roots!
In just one day, Yuan Li brought back news that made Zhang Liyang a little downhearted. The Xue family and Jia family, in order to protect their only heir, wouldn't let either of them step out the door.
This left Zhang Liyang feeling quite a headache. Both of them were being watched closely, and Zhang Liyang's plan behind wouldn't work at all.
If it absolutely comes to that, we'll have to take military action!
In order to prevent the Bai family from reacting, Zhang Liyang needed to quickly turn things around and either get both families married or cripple them. The rest would be easy to solve then.
"Let's get our people off the streets. We've been protecting the Xue family so many times, it's about time we called it quits."
The guards of the Jia family dared not enter the city, a large part of the reason being Yuan Li's elite soldiers present. Now that Zhang Liyang has withdrawn them, his purpose is to give the Jia family an opportunity.
Before giving them a chance, Zhang Liyang wants to add fuel to the fire first!
In the depths of night, a howling cold wind sent everyone scurrying back to their warm beds. By nightfall, practically no one remained on the streets of Feilong City, save for shadowy figures flickering in the dim recesses.
Since the Jia family completely severed ties with the Xue family, although the main battles were fought outside the city, the Jia family still deployed most of their forces within the city to protect their own safety.
Over several days, over a dozen shops belonging to the Jia family in Feilong City were burned down, and many of the Xue family's grasslands and fertile fields turned into barren land.
Jia Yun, as the sole heir of the Jia family, possessed a level of protection nearly equal to Jia Fengxian. He was always accompanied by a bodyguard at the Ninth Stage of the One Ring and another at the Eighth Stage.
Because he was under house arrest, Jia Yun had nothing to do and basically stayed in his own room or went to Jia Fengxian's study to read.
Unlike the two from the Xue family, Jia Yun was carefully cultivated by Jia Fengxian as his heir. He not only excelled in his studies but also reached the fifth realm of cultivation.
This evening, Jia Yun, as usual, came to his study to read. By Jia Yun's desk, two middle-aged men stood with their eyes half-closed, motionless.
The study was very quiet, so quiet that only the sound of turning pages could be heard.
But when a strange sound came through the voice, the two middle-aged men beside Jia Yun simultaneously opened their eyes, with sparks flashing in them.
"Where are you rats!"
One middle-aged man turned his head to look at the window by the study. As he roared, he instantly arrived at the window and punched it with a fist!
A practitioner who has reached the Eighth Realm can shatter ordinary walls with a single punch, as if they were made of paper.
Bang!
The bricks shattered under the punch, and from the dust cloud a black figure reached out a hand to block the blow. At the same time, the whole person rolled through the broken window.
"Protect the young master!"
The fist failed to cut down the incoming person, and this caused the man to immediately remind his companions. His companion had cultivation that reached the ninth realm.
Don't worry, I'm here!
He gently pushed Jia Yun aside. The remaining middle-aged man, with a tremor in his palm, suddenly shot a silver light from his sleeve. It darted towards the shadow's chest like a silver snake.
Grin
Although the shadow reacted quickly, the silver light still slashed through the fabric of its chest.
"Soft sword!"
The black shadow's eyes widened in surprise. A soft sword was indeed a rare weapon, and anyone who wielded a rare weapon had their own unique characteristics. Take this soft sword, for example: it could be both hard and soft, straight and curved, just like a living creature, making it incredibly difficult to defend against.
"Humph!"
Seeing his sudden strike dodged by the opponent, the middle-aged man wielding a soft sword flicked his blade and charged forward again. At the same time, the other middle-aged man also swept in from behind!
As the encirclement closed in, the shadowy figure remained calm. Upon realizing their attack was failing, they suddenly slammed into the side, smashing a large hole through the wall before vanishing into the darkness.
"Shall I chase"
"No need." The middle-aged man sheathed his soft sword and shook his head. "Protecting the young master is the most important thing."
Jia Yun's commotion also immediately woke up the other members of the Jia family, especially Jia Fengxian. It wasn't until he saw that Jia Yun was unharmed that his slightly pale face recovered.
Damn it, who is it!
Although Jia Yun was unharmed, Jia Fengxian began to rage uncontrollably.
"Master, this is a piece of clothing left behind by the assassin."
Looking at the pieces of clothing passed to him, Jia Fengxian placed them under the light. His eyes instantly flashed with a terrifying cold light!g harm and held back their arrows, watching helplessly as the three assailants worked together to escape the city lord's mansion."What are you still standing there for, hurry up and chase after him!"T...
