1132 Fishing in Fenghai County (3)
There were still over 10,000 people alive.
Kong Xianglong and some Sword Holders were among them.
They escaped with great difficulty. They didn’t choose to return to King Tian Lan’s army but left the battlefield. They wanted to return to Fenghai County.
This matter was peculiar, defying logic, and had inexplicable aspects. It seemed as if invisible hands were at play, guiding the footsteps of these survivors along a predetermined path.
However, no matter what, the news that reached Fenghai County included a recording jade slip that clearly recorded their exhausted figures.
On the way, they also encountered the pursuit of King Tian Lan’s personal guards. They couldn’t defend themselves against the accusations and barely escaped in the midst of the confrontation.
They were trapped in a dangerous situation now and could only wait for death.
Fenghai County faced a choice.
Should they save these survivors or not? How should they handle them and how should they announce their fate?
If they saved them, it would be equivalent to confirming their stance. If they didn’t save them and watched helplessly as they were punished, the people of Fenghai County would dissipate.
“So, Zheng Kaiyi, Yao Tianyan, what will the two of you… choose?”
In the imperial city where the Seventh Prince was located, the former Eight Sects Alliance’s Alliance Leader Chen Yangzi placed the first piece on an empty chessboard.
“According to my judgment of you people’s style of doing things, you will definitely save them.”
“But to travel thousands of miles to save these people, ordinary people are useless. The people who go… must be experts, and one might not be enough.”
“In that case, will there be Zi Xuan among the people who will go? If there is, then I’ll just make sure you fall into my trap.”
Chen Yangzi smiled. He actually didn’t care much about this encirclement. If Zi Xuan was around, it would naturally be for the best. If Zi Xuan wasn’t around, this plan would serve as bait to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
“In the entire Fenghai County, the strong ones are only Zheng Kaiyi and Marquis Yao. I can’t defeat them. One of them will definitely go to save these people. Otherwise, the strength of the reinforcements won’t be enough.
As for those two puppets… I have a way to deal with them.”
Chen Yangzi’s eyes were filled with anticipation as he lifted his head and looked in the direction of Fenghai County.
He naturally wouldn’t enter Fenghai County rashly, but the Seventh Prince’s order had to be completed. However, this wasn’t difficult for him.
While Chen Yangzi was looking in the direction of Fenghai County, Xu Qing, Old Master Seventh, and Marquis Yao were standing in the pavilion of the County Governor’s residence in Fenghai County. They were also looking towards the former Heavenly Wind Imperial Capital where the Seventh Prince was.
“Master, the fish has taken the bait,” Xu Qing remarked softly.
When Old Master Seventh heard this, he laughed, his eyes filled with admiration.
“So… are you going or should I go?” Marquis Yao looked at Old Master Seventh.
“You go. I’ll wait a little longer and see what the other party’s second move is. Otherwise, if we go out together, the other party will suspect that it was too smooth. Remember to bring the puppets. Don’t be careless.” Old Master Seventh looked at Marquis Yao.
Marquis Yao nodded. As the only elder remaining of the original upper echelons of Fenghai County, he knew his limits. Hence, he took a step forward and disappeared from the pavilion in the next instant.
Soon, the Observance Palace and the Sword Holding Palace’s Palace Masters, and some sect masters of the various sects followed Marquis Yao out and tore through the sky.
As for Old Master Seventh, several days later, he got the second move he had been waiting for.
Many sects suddenly rebelled in Fenghai County.
These sects were scattered in various regions and their rebellion erupted at the same time, spreading rumors, causing chaos far and wide.
Moreover, many nonhuman races on the Forbidden Sea also suddenly dispatched troops, landing on multiple coastlines of Fenghai County, including several regions such as Yinghuang Province.
Not only that, but a large number of nonhumans also appeared outside the Seven Blood Eyes’ port harbor of the Nanhuang Continent. Nihility specialists were leading the army.
In an instant, everyone in Fenghai County was in a state of panic and chaos.
Faced with such a crisis, a large number of Sword Holders went out. Old Master Seventh personally led the team.
After he and Marquis Yao left, the county capital city became unprecedentedly empty.
This emptiness was stared at by a pair of gaze hidden behind the chessboard.
“It went a little too smoothly…”
Chen Yangzi placed his second piece, and a look of pondering appeared in his eyes. After a long time, he placed his third piece.
