Kangyun County.
Black Armored Guards Commander Mansion.
“Commander Wei, are we really giving up Kangyun County?”
Qu Dayou asked the young man in front of him.
The young man looked to be in his thirties. He was tall and had a face similar to Wei Changqing and Wei Binglin.
This person was Wei Bingqi, who replaced Wei Changqing to become the commander of the Black Armored Guards in Kangyun County.
“Yes, Master Commander, although the other side has the numbers advantage, we shouldn’t abandon the city without a fight, right?”
Xia Yuanxing spoke.
Ning Fengwen was next to Xia Yuanxing.
The upper echelons of the Black Armored Guards in Kangyun County were all gathered together.
Hearing the doubts around him, Wei Bingqi was not impatient at all.
“Indeed, if they have only the numbers advantage, we can still defend this city.”
Wei Bingqi said, “But this time, there is a factor in the battle that we can’t resist.”
“According to my spies, a void realm martial artist has arrived in the Shadowblood Sect camp.”
“A void realm martial artist?”
The three captains looked at each other.
The three people who were suspicious of Wei Bingqi’s cowardice all fell silent.
If a void realm existence suddenly appeared on the mortal realm battlefield, the battle would be completely tilted to one side.
A void realm martial artist could no longer be resisted by pure mortal realm martial arts.
“Do you really think I’m willing to give up Kangyun County?”
Wei Bingqi sighed. “My third uncle and my cousin are definitely still alive. I came here to wait for news of their appearance. However, not only did they not appear, but I also gave up the city that my uncle was protecting. I am more powerless than you.”
“What I can do now is to preserve the strength of the Kangyun County’s Black Armored Guards and protect the safety of the people in the city.”
Wei Bingqi continued, “Moreover, I have requested my family for help again. I hope they can also send a void realm martial artist to oversee the city. If a void realm martial artist can come, then even if we abandon the city, we can still fight our way back.”
“Commander Wei, we were too impatient just now.”
After Wei Bingqi explained everything, Qu Dayou and the others now understood.
Faced with a void realm martial artist, they could only retreat.
Wei Bingqi looked at the three captains and didn’t say anything else.
Although he said that he had already requested his family for help, Wei Bingqi knew very well that the possibility of his family sending a void realm martial artist was low.
Kangyun County was not an important base of the Wei family. The only connection between the Wei family and Kangyun County was that Wei Changqing had been here before.
Therefore, the arrival of a void realm martial artist was just an unlikely expectation.
However, right at this time, a sharp cry echoed through the clouds.
Wei Bingqi and the three captains were all high level warriors in the mortal realm, but they instantly felt the suppressive force on their mortal realm cultivation.
“No way, the family really sent a void realm martial artist? And so quickly too?”
Wei Bingqi was puzzled.
“Let’s go out and take a look!”
Wei Bingqi walked out of the room first.
The three captains followed behind him.
He saw a giant eagle demon beast hovering above the commander mansion, flapping its wings.
The giant eagle demon beast landed, allowing the four people to see the figures on the giant eagle’s back.
“Uncle? Binglin? Zicheng?”
Wei Bingqi thought he was seeing things. He quickly shook his head to confirm that he was not hallucinating.
Their guards were killed and Wei Changqing and the other two disappeared. The Wei family thought that Wei Changqing and the others had little chance of survival.
After searching for a while, except for Wei Bingqi who insisted on coming to Kangyun County to wait, everyone else in the family had given up.
Wei Bingqi also didn’t have much hope, but he didn’t expect them to come back.
“Commander Wei, Xu Ning!?”
The three Black Armored Guards were also surprised. They not only saw Wei Changqing, but also Xu Ning.
“Bingqi, the three captains!”
The four jumped off the eagle’s back and quickly gathered together.
“Uncle, you all are…”
Wei Bingqi was very excited.
He had a good relationship with his uncle and sister-in-law, otherwise he wouldn’t have come to Kangyun County alone.
“We were captured by a traitor, but thanks to Xu Ning’s advancement to the void realm, we were saved!”
Wei Changqing explained.
“Void realm? Xu Ning?”
The three captains looked at each other.
Although the three of them were optimistic about Xu Ning’s talent, they didn’t expect Xu Ning to break through to the void realm in just a year.
“Thank you, Brother Xu!”
Wei Bingqi was stunned for a moment, then quickly thanked him.
He knew that a young man named Xu Ning went missing with his uncle, but he didn’t care at the time.
“Brother Xu saved my uncle and sister-in-law, you are the benefactor of the Wei family. The Wei family will repay you in the future!”
Wei Bingqi quickly made a promise.
70% of his gratitude towards Xu Ning came from his heart and 30% was out of kindness.
A void realm warrior who was less than 20 years old was considered a core disciple in the Source Sect.
“Brother Wei.”
Xu Ning cupped his hands in response. “Let’s not talk about this first. I heard that the war ahead is critical, have you decided to abandon the city?”
The three captains’ eyes immediately lit up.
They could tell from Xu Ning’s words that Xu Ning wanted to protect Kangyun County.
“Yes.”
Wei Bingqi responded, “A few days ago, my spies sent news over that the Shadowblood Sect has sent a void realm martial artist. We are no match for this level of existence.”
“But Brother Xu, if you are willing to guard Kangyun County, then we don’t have to abandon the city. Even if they have the numbers advantage, we can still successfully defend the city.”
Wei Bingqi said to Xu Ning.
“Kangyun County is my hometown, so I will definitely protect it.”
Xu Ning first expressed his attitude, then asked, “Brother Wei, do you know where the void realm martial artist of the Shadowblood Sect is?”
“He is now in Dingyun County.”
Although Wei Bingqi didn’t understand why Xu Ning suddenly asked this, he still answered truthfully.
“Okay.”
Xu Ning nodded. “Brother Wei and the three captains, please gather the army and prepare to take back Dingyun County and Qiuyun County.”
“Brother Xu, what do you mean?”
Wei Bingqi was puzzled.
“Wait for my news.”
Xu Ning got on Little Gray’s back again. “Little Gray, go southeast!”
After receiving the order, Little Gray flapped its wings and flew away, turning into a black shadow before disappearing.
“Brother Xu…”
Wei Bingqi reacted. “Brother Xu went to find a void realm martial artist from the Shadowblood Sect?”
“Uncle…”
Wei Bingqi looked at Wei Changqing blankly. “He…”
“Listen to Xu Ning.”
Wei Changqing was extremely confident in Xu Ning. “He is not any normal martial artist in the void realm.”
“Xu Ning must have gone to solve the problems brought by the void realm martial artist. Listen to him, gather the army and prepare to take back Dingyun County and Qiuyun County.”
“You don’t have to worry about Xu Ning’s strength. Don’t forget that the giant eagle under him is also a void realm demon beast.”
Wei Changqing’s words gave Wei Bingqi and the three captains confidence.
“In this case, captains, go and gather the army. As soon as Brother Xu gives us the good news, we will send out our troops!”
Wei Bingqi was holding a sword, his tone full of confidence.
“Yes!”
The three captains obeyed.
…
At the same time.
Dingyun County.
Shadowblood Sect camp.
“Everyone, I was ordered by the deacons of the Shadowblood Sect to come here, to take over all ten counties in the southeast of State Feiyun!”
On the camp field, a middle-aged man wearing a blood red robe and holding a blood-patterned wooden cane stood on a high platform.
Below the high platform were troops.
They were wearing blood-colored light armor, holding spears and knives, full of fighting spirit.
These troops were all mortal elites sent by the Shadowblood Sect from State Hurricane. They were also responsible for seizing the main force of the ten counties in State Feiyun.
The elite warriors of the Shadowblood Sect all looked at the blood-robed man on the high platform with reverence.
They all knew that this blood-robed man was a void realm martial artist.
As long as they followed him, they would be able to take down all ten counties in the southeast of State Feiyun.
Once they won the war, they would receive great rewards.
“Dingyun County and Qiuyun County are already in our hands.”
The blood-robed man continued, “I plan to completely seize the remaining eight counties in three months.”
“Tomorrow, we will attack Kangyun County first!”
“This will definitely be an easy victory. I have heard that the people in Kangyun County are already in a state of panic. Many people have begun to leave their homes. Even their leaders have made plans to abandon the city!”
“We can easily crush such an enemy.”
The blood-robed man’s eyes had a hint of ruthlessness. “If we can win tomorrow, I will reward you all with three days of plundering in Kangyun County, and allow you to practice the Shadow Breath Blood Passage freely during this period!”
As soon as the blood-robed man said this, the Shadowblood Sect soldiers below all had greedy eyes.
Practicing the Shadow Breath Blood Passage required blood as a supplement.
Usually, when they practiced, they often lacked blood.
However, the blood-robed man promised to let them practice freely, which meant that they could slaughter as they pleased, obtain blood, and improve their cultivation in the Shadow Breath Blood Passage.
Looking at the excited Shadowblood Sect soldiers, the blood-robed man smiled with satisfaction.
The deacon of the sect had promised him that if he could successfully take over the ten counties in the southeast of State Feiyun, he would be given 20 Blood Trace Pills to help him break through to the true qi realm.
The blood-robed man knew that his potential was limited, so he couldn’t let go of this opportunity.
However, just when he was looking forward to obtaining the Blood Trace Pills, he suddenly heard a sharp eagle cry.
The blood-robed man raised his head subconsciously and saw a giant gray eagle demon beast swooping down at him with a figure on the eagle’s back.
Shua!
Before the blood-robed man could react, he saw a flash of light.
Pata.
The blood-robed man’s head rolled off his shoulder.
Kangyun County.
