Chapter 2054: Chapter 2053: Other Arrangements
"Garrison Commander, it’s intolerable; let me confront this Wolf Demon."
A Garrison Commander couldn’t hold back any longer and leaped directly from the garrison compound. In just a few jumps, he landed on a bridge. A few hundred meters was not far for a cultivator, and in the time of a few blinks, this commander had already reached the rear area of the Gate Wall.
"Hmph, let me, Murong Jian, confront you."
"Murong Jian?"
"Never heard of him."
Gu Feng was not being intentional; after all, in Ancestor Dragon City, there were countless families, and he only knew the top ones. Clearly, the Murong Family was not in that league.
"It’s fine if you’ve never heard of it. Before you die, I’ll show you my might."
"My sword technique is none other than the Dugu Nine Swords."
"The first move, flowers in chaos bewilder the eye."
In an instant, Murong Jian made his move. A flick of his wrist, and countless Sword Flowers appeared in front of him. In no time, it was as if a spring breeze had blown, causing hundreds of flowers to bloom. The formations of Sword Flowers made it almost impossible to tell which was real and which was fake.
"This Murong Jian is indeed worthy of being one of the top ten Sword Masters of the Sword Control Sect; his swordsmanship has already reached a transformative stage, probably not far from the Sword Domain."
"Hmm, reaching the Sword Realm is impressive, but...!"
Someone nearby frowned.
As one of the ten major sects in Ancestor Dragon City, the Sword Control Sect’s strength was actually ranked lower. After all, the Three Mountains were ahead, and the top ten Sword Masters of the Sword Control Sect were not considered much. Outwardly, these ten Sword Masters seemed to represent the strength of the sect.
But to those who knew the Sword Control Sect’s foundations, the ten Sword Masters were just for show. Even the Sect Master was not the strongest. The strongest power of the Sword Control Sect came from the Twelve Sword Lords of the Three Towers and Nine Pavilions.
However, more than two hundred years ago, in a certain battle, many of the Twelve Sword Lords died or were crippled. Even those still alive were in seclusion and did not concern themselves with external affairs.
Over time, the Sword Lords faded from public view, making way for the ten greatest Sword Masters of the Sword Control Sect.
Each of these Sword Masters had reached Golden Core Late Stage Perfection. Although their strength wasn’t lacking, they posed no advantage against the bloodline-mutated Demon King, Gu Feng.
As Murong Jian and Gu Feng battled fiercely, the Demon Country sent another wave of reinforcements.
This time, the group consisted of three thousand soldiers, primarily from the Leopard Clan, with an additional hundred Lion Clan warriors.
When Gu Feng set foot atop First Line Pass, under the leadership of Wanyan Tiemu, this unit marched towards First Line Pass. Behind them, the Barbaric Bull Clan also dispatched three thousand Barbaric Bull Heavy Armour.
To attack First Line Pass, elite forces were more crucial than vast numbers. Meanwhile, the Three Marshals began to advance with numerous Demon Kings.
"Young Master, it seems the Demon Country intends to take this in one go."
Chong Xuan took a deep breath. Due to the angle, they couldn’t see much of the battle within First Line Pass from their base, but the intense explosion earlier indicated a fierce battle was raging there.
Now, both the Lion Clan and Barbaric Bull Clan were sending elites, along with the Three Marshals advancing with many Demon Kings. It was evident they wanted to take First Line Pass in one fell swoop.
"Hmm, I didn’t expect the Three Marshals to be so resolute."
Li Feng’s expression was solemn.
"Young Master, it’s odd that the Three Marshals are determined to fight yet haven’t involved you."
Chong Xuan hesitated.
"Yes, it seems they’re leaving me out of the loop, which makes it hard to figure out their intentions."
Yesterday’s banquet indicated that the Three Marshals were beginning to suspect him. If they suspected him, why would they overlook him today?
When things are unusual, there’s usually something amiss.
"Master, someone is requesting an audience outside the camp gate."
Just then, the Kobold Shi Xing came trotting over, addressing Li Feng, who was standing on the watchtower.
Li Feng raised a brow, "Someone wants to see me? Do you know who it is?"
"It’s said to be an Order Officer from the Lion Clan."
Upon hearing this, Li Feng turned to Chong Xuan, "Well, speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives. Let’s see what tricks this Lion Commander has up his sleeve."
Hearing that someone from the Lion Clan had arrived, Li Feng actually felt relieved. After all, it’s better to face a thief than to be worried about one. As long as the opponent made a move, they could respond appropriately.
"Bring them to my tent."
"Yes."
Shi Xing turned to deliver the message, while Li Feng and Chong Xuan returned to the main tent. After a moment, the tent’s flap was opened.
"Master, the people have been brought."
"Let them in."
Li Feng said.
Before Li Feng’s words were finished, three individuals entered from outside the tent. Two of them were Golden Lion Demon Kings, whom Li Feng had met at yesterday’s banquet, and their seating was even higher than Wanyan Hao’s. Clearly, these two Demon Kings were at least Third Grade Realm Demon Kings.
The main figure wasn’t these two Lion Clan Demon Kings, though, because between them stood a cloaked figure whose face was obscured. With the two Demon Kings serving as escorts, it was evident this cloaked demon was the main figure.
"You three are here to deliver the Lion Commander’s orders. I wonder what order the Lion King wants me to execute?"
Li Feng squinted at the cloaked figure in the center, his gaze seemed to pierce through the cloak to see everything underneath.
"Feng Yang Sovereign, you were at yesterday’s banquet, so you should be aware of the Three Marshals’ decision. Today, the Three Marshals lead elite forces to directly pressure First Line Pass, and battle is imminent."
"However, First Line Pass is not an ordinary pass. Even breaking the front gate wall is not enough. There are nearly a hundred thousand Ancestor Dragon City cultivators to the north."
"The Lion Commander orders Feng Yang Sovereign to lead an elite unit with us to cut through Wan Ren Mountain and attack the rear of First Line Pass."
One Lion Clan Demon King directly expressed the Lion Commander’s intentions.
"You want me to lead troops through Wan Ren Mountain to attack the enemy’s rear? Are you kidding? Even if we manage to get around, we’d face a hundred thousand Ancestor Dragon cultivators, with unknown numbers of strong fighters hidden among them. This is nothing short of sending me to my death!"
"Hmm, it’s just the Lion Commander’s order, and I’m afraid Feng Yang Sovereign has no choice but to comply."
"Heh, are you threatening me? It seems yesterday’s outcome with Wanyan Hao wasn’t enough to enlighten some people."
Li Feng broke into a cold smile.
"Feng Yang Sovereign, the Lion Commander’s order is not to be disobeyed. Besides, this operation is not solely for your demise, for there are other powerful beings who will accompany us on this mission."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Li Feng looked at the speaking Lion King and suddenly stood up to eye the cloaked main figure, "It seems the two Lion Kings are not the primary figures in this operation. This cloaked, faceless one appears to be the real key figure."
"Here you are, staying silent, yet trying to be mysterious, heh."
"Isn’t this unnecessary, like removing pants to fart?"
"Am I right, Holy Daughter of the Fox Clan?"
