The fight for the Beast King at the Ice Abyss had indeed come to an end. That very night, some Golden Chariots and Iron-armored Ships left.
It rained for an entire night. The spring thunder never stopped. Many people in the city could not sleep well.
When they heard the Iron-armored Ships and Golden Chariots flying over, they would look at them with fear.
Who had obtained the Origin Blood Essence of the Beast King? Which family would take the precious materials from the Beast King?
None of the people in the city knew, nor did they care. They were just worried when the war would begin.
The day broke out. The rain stopped.
The war did not break out. The city was peaceful as always.
However, many people noticed that there was not a single Liu Family warrior on the city wall or outside the city gate. Not even one warrior in Liu Family armors could be seen on the streets or outside the gates of the Liu Family Mansion.
The Zhao Family, the Lu Family, the He Family, and the Chen Family were peaceful as well. There was not a single warrior in the city.
Even though the city was peaceful and the storm had stopped, all the people in the city felt more depressed. It was like the night before the dawn, so peaceful that it was frightening.
Nothing happened that day. But in the afternoon, some more Iron-armored Ships and Golden Chariots flew away.
With an ear-piercing whistle, they flew over the city or outside the city, not stopping at all.
It was dusk, but the sky was dark. It looked like it was going to rain again. The people in the city went home early and closed their doors and windows. They gathered together after dinner and waited anxiously.
The once bustling Wu Ling County seemed to have become a dead city at this moment.
All the shops and taverns were closed. Even the brothels that only opened for business at night had closed their doors tonight.
Not a soul could be seen on the streets that were usually bustling and noisy …
Night finally came. Suddenly, a lot of warriors rushed out from the streets. Some of them were wearing cyan armors and cyan helmets, some were wearing red armors, some were wearing blue armors, and some were wearing black armors. All of them were gathering in the square.
Fifty, five hundred, one thousand …
The warriors on more than a dozen streets formed a long line. In the darkness of the night, they looked like an army of death from the underworld.
These people gathered towards the plaza in silence. They did not make any noise and their footsteps were light.
They had all kinds of weapons in their hands. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent. Many civilians that were hiding in their rooms and secretly watching were scared out of their wits.
One thousand five hundred, two thousand.
On the spacious square, more and more martial artists gathered, and there was still a steady stream of people pouring out from more than a dozen streets.
Everyone stood in silence, divided into four square formations.
They all stared at the Liu Family Compound in the north. That would be their battlefield tonight.
If they won, all the riches inside would belong to them. They could take all the treasures and play with all the beauties.
If he failed … how could he fail?
There is no if.
Tick tock tick tock.
Rain fell from the sky, hitting the armors of these two thousand people, making crisp sounds. Everyone still didn't move. They were waiting, waiting for their clan leader to come out.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. After the time it took for three incense sticks to burn, all the martial artists of the clans had arrived. A total of more than 2,600 people were neatly divided into four square formations.
Four people walked out from the four streets at the same time. Two of them were very old, while the other two were in the prime of their lives.
The footsteps of these four people were very steady. Their pace was not fast, but their auras were like dragons and elephants, causing all the martial artists' hearts to palpitate.
The four of them each walked to the front of a phalanx. The martial artists in the four phalanxes all knelt down, but they did not speak.
The four of them looked to the north in silence, waiting quietly.
The rain was getting heavier. Everyone's armors were soaked, and even their undergarments were soaked. Still, nobody made any noise. They were still waiting quietly.
"Swish!"
After an hour, there came a piercing sound from the north. In the darkness of the night, a streak of golden glare came straight to the Wu Ling County.
The four Family Patriarchs standing at the front of the four phalanxes looked up at the same time. Their eyes lit up, especially Zhao Gui, the Family Patriarch of the Zhao Family in cyan armor. The glow in his eyes was as hot as the sun.
"He is here, Lord Yu is here!"
Zhao Rui, who was standing behind the phalanx of the Zhao Family, also became excited. If Lord Yu did not come, the fight would not happen tonight. All the efforts of the Zhao Family would be in vain.
Now that Lord Yu was here, everything would be settled.
"Lu Li!"
Zhao Rui clenched his teeth and shouted to himself. His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Tonight, he would wash away the shame of the Red Stone Mountain. He would prove to all the Patriarchs of the Zhao Family that he absolutely had the ability to take over the position of Family Patriarch and lead the Zhao Family to glory.
"Lu Li …"
Behind Zhao Rui stood a tall and strong man. He was also looking to the north with murderous intent.
Di Huo was dead. The most excellent son of Di Ba was dead. If it were not for the fact that the Zhao Family gave strict orders, Di Ba would have brought his men to the Liu Family and killed Lu Li.
Tonight, he could finally have his revenge. He could kill Lu Li and Lu Ling and cut them into pieces.
Swish!
The Golden Chariot finally arrived at the Wu Ling County. It stopped above the city.
There were not many people in the chariot, only three.
The chariot was open, but a golden shield lit up on the chariot to keep the rain out.
In the middle of the chariot sat a middle-aged man in a white robe. He looked elegant. He had a pretty girl in his arms, and the girl looked similar to Zhao Rui …
In front of the chariot stood a man covered in black armor. His face was covered by a helmet. Only a pair of cold eyes could be seen.
"Lord Yu!"
Zhao Gui looked at the elegant man with respect. He ignored the pretty girl next to him and got down on one knee with everyone else.
Lord Yu nodded slightly without saying anything. The man in black said, "Lord, time is precious. You only have one night."
"Thank you, Lord!"
Everyone was overjoyed. Zhao Gui thanked Lord Yu again. The others bowed deeply. They were extremely excited.
"Swish!"
The Golden Chariot glided over and flew into a yard. That yard was the Zhao Family's yard.
Lord Yu came in person to assume command at the Zhao Family Yard.
Even though he had given them a night's time, the Wu Ling County was going to change after tonight. Everyone was convinced of this.
"Follow the original plan!"
Zhao Gui drew out his long sword and shouted. The more than 2000 warriors in the four square formations all moved. The 1000 warriors rushed out like sharp swords towards the front gate of the Liu Family Yard.
Zhao Gui and the other Family Patriarchs moved at the same time. They followed the 1000 warriors and walked slowly towards the Liu Family Yard.
The rest of the 1000 warriors were divided into three groups. One group went to the backyard of the Liu Family, and the other went to the east gate of the Liu Family.
"Follow me!"
Zhao Rui led the remaining 500 warriors and went directly to the west gate of the Liu Family.
This time, he took the initiative to attack the west gate of the Liu Family because the Guest Clan of the Liu Family was in the west yard. He wanted to break into the west gate and kill Lu Li in person.
"Let's go!"
