The moonlight shrouded Xiu Yun City. Dust and smoke rose up as the iron cavalry charged wildly.
Countless black riders were rushing out of the city.
The common people of Li Yang in the city were hiding in their homes, not daring to go out.
Ever since the black riders of the Nanyun Kingdom conquered Xiu Yun City,
The Li Yang commoners of the city also tried to rebel.
But after entering the city, Zhang Yuan ordered all the rebellious commoners to be suppressed and beheaded.
On the day the city was occupied, tens of thousands of commoners died under the blades of the black riders.
Since then, no one among the Li Yang commoners in the city dared to rebel anymore, they could only obediently hide in their homes.
At this moment, in a household in the city,
a pair of eyes looked through the window at the black riders rushing out of the city, a trace of abnormality flashed in them.
Inside the house, two young teenagers, one with a pale complexion and expressionless face.
The other was completely wrapped in dense black bugs.
These two teenagers were the missing Lu Renjia and Mountain Cannon.
After Li Luo defeated Lian Qing and Qi Hui who led the black riders.
Li Luo had arranged for them to come to Xiu Yun City in advance to scout for information.
Behind their bed, lied a man who had passed out.
This man was the owner of the house.
In order not to expose his identity, Lu Renjia had no choice but to knock him unconscious.
"The black riders outside don't seem to be retreating!"
"Mountain Cannon, what's the situation on your side?"
Lu Renjia's eyes narrowed slightly as he turned to look at Mountain Cannon behind him.
Mountain Cannon did not answer, but was fully focused on manipulating the bugs on his body.
In a mansion in Xiu Yun City,
This was the residence of the prefect of Xiu Yun.
After the black riders occupied Xiu Yun City, the prefect was beheaded by Zhang Yuan.
And this prefect residence was also requisitioned by him.
In the mansion, a middle-aged man in armor was resting with eyes closed.
Suddenly he opened his eyes, and a vigorous aura surged out from his body.
This person was Zhang Yuan, one of the Five Great Generals of the Nanyun Kingdom.
Zhang Yuan regulated his breath for a moment, bringing himself to an optimal state.
Because tonight, there would be a great battle!
Zhang Yuan's mouth curled up slightly, and a flash of killing intent lowered the surrounding temperature by several degrees.
"General!"
At this time, three people came in from outside the door.
These three also fluctuated with vigorous spiritual power.
Peak Spirit Sea Realm powerhouses!
They were Zhang Yuan's deputy generals.
"Di Cheng, how is it?"
Seeing the three men in battle robes, Zhang Yuan asked coldly.
"General, it is indeed as you expected. According to the scout hiding in Thousand Fragrance City, the Beiliang King is leading a hundred thousand Bei Liang Iron Cavalry straight towards Xiu Yun City."
Di Cheng, the leader of the three, said excitedly.
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but sneer.
It was indeed as he had expected, the Beiliang King would definitely take the opportunity to attack him at night.
"Which powerful experts are following the Beiliang King?"
Zhang Yuan continued to ask.
"Replying to the general, our scout reported that in addition to the Beiliang King, there is also the Crown Prince of Bei Liang, five of the Seven Heroes of Northern Liang, and two unfamiliar men."
Di Cheng replied.
Zhang Yuan nodded slightly and said slowly:
"What this general didn't expect was that the talent of the Crown Prince of Bei Liang was so outstanding that he actually killed Lian Qing and Qi Hui!"
"His cultivation should also be at the Profound Manifestation Realm, otherwise he wouldn't be able to kill Lian Qing and Qi Hui who were at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm."
"At such a young age with this kind of strength, his talent can be called monstrous. It's good that he came along, this son must not be kept alive!"
Di Cheng and the other two nodded repeatedly.
"Right, do we have any information on those two unfamiliar men?"
Zhang Yuan looked at Di Cheng and asked.
"General, after our scouts thoroughly investigated other commanderies, it seems that Northern Liang also has a Profound Manifestation Realm expert named Gao Shun!"
"It is inferred that one of those two unfamiliar men is that Gao Shun. As for his strength, it is not very clear, only knowing that he is a Profound Manifestation Realm expert."
"It is said that this Gao Shun led fifty thousand Northern Liang troops, and together with the Beiliang King and Crown Prince, divided into three routes and took all of King Qi's commanderies."
After hearing Di Cheng's words, Zhang Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice:
"That Gao Shun should only be at the initial or middle stage of the Profound Manifestation Realm."
"In the Liyang Dynasty, the only ones who can match our Five Great Generals are the Four Kings, and the fallen Qin Yue."
"There are only these five peak Profound Manifestation Realm experts, otherwise we would not be unaware."
"That is to say, apart from the Beiliang King, the other side also has two Profound Manifestation Realm experts!"
"If it wasn't for Yun Bin setting off early and arriving at Xiu Yun City, this general would really have to retreat from their momentum..."
Zhang Yuan sneered again and again, with a flash of cold killing intent in his eyes.
Just after he learned that Lian Qing and Qi Hui led their troops to attack Thousand Fragrance City and were wiped out by the Crown Prince of Bei Liang.
Yun Bin, one of the Five Great Generals, suddenly sent him a message.
Informing him that the main army had arrived early outside Xiu Yun City.
After learning that Yun Bin's hundred thousand black riders had arrived in advance, Zhang Yuan immediately came up with a plan.
He was certain that the Beiliang King would take the opportunity to attack at night.
So he asked Yun Bin to hide his whereabouts in advance and ambush on the only road from Thousand Fragrance City to Xiu Yun City.
Yun Bin was also a peak Profound Manifestation Realm expert.
The two of them joining forces would surely be able to kill the Beiliang King!
Everything was developing as he had expected.
He would stall the Beiliang King.
Yun Bin would deal with the Crown Prince of Bei Liang and Gao Shun.
As for the remaining five of the Seven Heroes of Northern Liang, they posed no threat at all.
Moreover, combined with his remaining fifty thousand black riders.
Their number of black riders far exceeded the Bei Liang Iron Cavalry.
In this battle, the death of the Beiliang King was undoubtedly certain!!
"Haha... The Beiliang King definitely wouldn't have expected that General Yun would arrive early."
"Right now, General Yun and his hundred thousand black riders have already ambushed on the only road outside the city."
"General, just waiting for your order!"
Di Cheng grinned sinisterly and said.
"Mm... Let's go meet up with General Yun!"
Zhang Yuan nodded slightly, then led the three out of the mansion and rushed out of the city.
However, Zhang Yuan and the others who left did not know.
On the roof of their mansion, a black strange bug slowly crawled.
Everything they just said was eavesdropped clearly by the strange bug sent by Mountain Cannon.
Soon, this bug flew back to Mountain Cannon's side.
Mountain Cannon's expression suddenly became tense after learning everything through this bug.
"Lu Renjia, quickly inform Young Master, Yun Bin, one of the Five Great Generals, has arrived in advance and is now ambushing outside. They seem to want to ambush the Young Master!"
Mountain Cannon said urgently.
"What?!"
"Illusory Drawing!"
Lu Renjia immediately used his supernatural ability, turning the intelligence obtained by Mountain Cannon into words.
Under his brush strokes, clusters of black characters condensed together, turning into a black and white bird, flying out the window.
"Lu Renjia, let's go support the Young Master too!"
Mountain Cannon said.
"Okay!"
The two left the household silently and disappeared into the forest outside Xiu Yun City...
