Chapter 565 -565 Wuwang Sword (4th Update)
“`
Qianniao Zhen was in the midst of hosting a banquet for several esteemed young guests at the City Lord’s Mansion.
Though the Qianniao Kingdom was vast and Qianniao Zhen herself was a princess, she still had to maintain a humble demeanor in the presence of these young men and women.
For they were all True Disciples of the Wuwang Sect.
The Wuwang Sect was a massive entity, controlling territories several times larger than the Qianniao Kingdom itself.
As True Disciples of the Wuwang Sect, the status of these young men and women was naturally extraordinarily prestigious.
“The arrival of several esteemed elders brightens our humble Qianniao City! Come, this cup is to honor you all!” Qianniao Zhen said, smiling as she raised her cup.
The members of the Wuwang Sect turned their gazes to the man seated in the center.
He was a man in a green taoist robe, refined in appearance with a subtle rotating tiny sword between his brows, adding a trace of fierceness to his countenance.
A True Disciple of the inner circle of the Wuwang Sect, He Tianyuan!
A leading figure among the younger generation, he was also their eldest senior brother.
Upon seeing Qianniao Zhen raising her cup in toast, He Tianyuan gave a slight smile, also lifting his cup, “Many thanks!”
He drained the cup in one gulp.
Qianniao Zhen inquired, “But I wonder, what brings Senior Brother He to our humble Qianniao City so suddenly?”
He Tianyuan said indifferently, “I’m just passing by, nothing of great importance!”
Qianniao Zhen felt a surge of displeasure inside.
How could anyone believe such a statement?
Yet in the face of He Tianyuan, she could only bow her head.
Just as she was about to speak, a loud boom came from outside.
Qianniao Zhen frowned slightly, and just as she was about to ask, a Mojia Soldier rushed in frantically.
“Your Highness the Princess, someone has breached the city!”
“How many soldiers have come? Are they sent by a neighboring country?” Qianniao Zhen’s face changed, and she asked in a cold voice.
The world had been in chaos for over a thousand years, with battles and sieges being all too common, so Qianniao Zhen was not too flustered.
The Mojia Soldier hesitated for a moment, then said, “Replying to the Princess, the one who breached the city… There’s only one person!”
“What?” Qianniao Zhen exclaimed and stood up abruptly.
Not only was she astonished, but the expressions of He Tianyuan and others also underwent a slight change.
One person breaching the city walls?
That was too inconceivable!
“Are you certain? To falsely report military intelligence is to face dismemberment!” Qianniao Zhen demanded.
The reporting Mojia Soldier trembled, “Your subordinate wouldn’t dare fabricate reports; there is indeed only one person who breached the city, and furthermore…”
“And what else?”
“And this person is a Hua Clan man! He is also leading several hundred Hua Clan prisoners of war!”
This statement hit like a thunderbolt from the blue.
Not only was Qianniao Zhen’s face full of shock, but even the Wuwang Sect members were all stunned silly.
He Tianyuan then shook his head, “Heh, how is that possible! The Hua Clan may be numerous, but they are all incapable of cultivation, merely wastrels. Even if among them there’s someone with astonishing talent, they can at most cultivate to Xiaoyao and can go no further, with just that level of cultivation they wish to breach the city?”
He Tianyuan’s skepticism mirrored Qianniao Zhen’s own thoughts, she sneered and said, “Truly a bunch of useless trash!”
Then she turned to He Tianyuan with a radiant smile, “Since Senior Brother He has come, why not accompany your junior sister to see what’s going on?”
He Tianyuan nodded, “Very well! I’d like to see what kind of divine skills this Hua Clan has to be so formidable.”
His words elicited laughter from his junior brothers and sisters.
Because nobody took the matter seriously.
But by the time they emerged from the City Lord’s Mansion and saw the distant city walls, their expressions changed drastically.
For the originally towering city walls had indeed collapsed to a great extent.
And from afar, the sounds of battle cries still carried over.
Qianniao Zhen’s countenance darkened, and she leaped towards the walls.
He Tianyuan and the others closely followed behind.
At this moment.
Under the ruins of the city wall, a group of Mojia Soldiers looked palely at the distant figure of Xue An.
The ground was covered with the corpses of Mojia Soldiers, and the stench of blood was so strong it was nauseating.
Esteemed as veterans of a hundred battles, these Mojia Soldiers believed they feared nothing, but today, for the first time, they tasted fear.
Because this Hua Clan man was simply too powerful.
