Chapter 34 Sudden Changes

After nightfall, the leading team gave the order to set up camp and make a fire at the edge of the woods ahead so that everyone could rest.

The people of Qixuanmen were also very experienced in traveling, and they arranged disciples in batches to keep watch that night to avoid any worries of sneak attacks by the enemy.

The night passed peacefully without any conversation.

The next morning, when the team had let down their guard and were ready to set off again, something unexpected happened!

Hundreds of people suddenly rushed out from the valley ahead, all of them dressed in conspicuous dark blue military uniforms. Led by two leaders riding large horses, they rushed to the edge of the woods where the Qixuan Sect’s base was located.

The Qixuan Sect was in disarray for a moment, but fortunately the main force in the front, including the elite disciples with combat capability, quickly gained a foothold under the command of Elder Wu, and also formed a battle formation to meet the enemy.

The logistics personnel following behind were in much more confusion and were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the enemy.

Some people were panicking, some were trying to pack up, some were drawing their swords to fight, and some were trying to run away. It was a mess.

Li Feiyu hurriedly gathered several brothers from his Outer Blade Hall around him, shouted loudly, and maintained discipline.

"Everyone, don't move! Put down your supplies, take knives if you have them, take sticks if you have them, stay where you are and follow my orders, don't move around!"

"Anyone who dares to escape privately will be killed on the spot according to the rules of the Qixuan Sect!"

Under the intimidating sound of Li Feiyu's loud voice, the surging crowd finally quieted down.

Mo Juren quickly climbed up to the top of the donkey cart, used his superhuman vision, and looked far into the distance while describing the scene to Li Feiyu.

"The two men leading the way on horseback, one has a pale complexion and a delicate physique. The other has a dark head and face, and a full black beard. Who are these two?"

"Pale face? That must be the Wild Wolf Gang leader, Golden Wolf Jia Tianlong. The one with the black beard is the deputy leader, Wang Baozi."

After saying that, Li Feiyu was puzzled again.

"Strange, didn't they say that Wang Baozi was supposed to come to negotiate? Why is Jia Tianlong, that white-faced wolf, here too?!"

Mo Juren had learned some lip reading skills from the "Blinking Sword Manual", which allowed him to read the movements of a person's lips when he spoke and infer what he said. Now it came in handy.

I saw Jia Tianlong and Wang Baozi on the opposite side singing the same tune, as if they were persuading Elder Wu.

"...The current strength of our Wild Wolf Gang...is far beyond the reach of the Seven Mysterious Sects, Elder Wu..."

"...The leader of the Qixuan Sect, Wang Juechu, will step down and give way to the throne... Elder Wu will be rich and prosperous if he submits to me, Jia Tianlong..."

"...No matter what, you and I both have to fight..."

"Well, since Elder Wu is stubborn, then... how are we going to compete today? Let's make a decision..."

Jia Tianlong first tried to win over Elder Wu and put forward some conditions.

Since he couldn't see what was ahead, Mo Juren didn't know how Elder Wu on his side responded, but it was clear that the two sides had not reached an agreement.

In the end, the leaders of both sides retreated, leaving a large open space in the middle, as if they were about to start a fight.

Li Feiyu also noticed the unusual movement of the team ahead, but he was a little excited.

"It seems that Elder Wu and his men have broken down in their talks. Hehe, it looks like we need to choose someone to go down and fight!"

Li Feiyu was waiting for both sides to send people to fight, so that he could be in the spotlight. So he couldn't wait to say,

"Junior Brother Han, you guys stay here. I'll go take a look at the front." As he said this, he was about to rush to the front, probably wanting to find a chance to get a spot in the next round.

"Wait!"

Mo Juren hurriedly stopped Li Feiyu.

Because he suddenly heard a lot of rustling sounds of people moving around, and according to the direction, they should be in the woods on the side in front.

Mo Juren reminded hurriedly,

"There is an ambush in the dense forest ahead, and there are quite a few people. Don't act rashly!"

"What? These scums from the Wild Wolf Gang actually dared to set an ambush and murder us from the Qixuan Sect! I'm going to remind Elder Wu." Li Feiyu said anxiously.

"Don't go, there are people coming from behind." Mo Juren's brows tightened, "We are surrounded."

Mo Juren had just finished speaking when he saw enemies appearing from all directions.

Apart from the Wild Wolf Gang who were wearing uniform gang uniforms and were easiest to identify, members of other small gangs were also mixed together. There were at least a thousand of them, blocking the area inside and outside the grove.

The team of three to four hundred people from the Qixuan Sect were surrounded like this and could only shrink inward, as if they were wrapped in the middle like minced meat.

Li Feiyu and Mo Juren were also pushed by the crowd and moved closer to the main group in front. They only heard Elder Wu's cold voice shouting,
"Jia Tianlong, you are such a treacherous and ungrateful person. How dare you collude with so many rabble to besiege the negotiation team? You are so unethical. Aren't you afraid that my Qixuan Sect will trample your Wild Wolf Gang to the ground and kill everyone afterward?"

Although Elder Wu and his group were surrounded, they did not actually feel much fear in their hearts.

Normally, with the strength of these elite disciples of the Qixuan Sect, it would not be too difficult for them to escape with their lives as long as they were willing to pay the price.

However, Jia Tianlong didn't care about his words at all, as if the Seven Mysterious Sect didn't pose any threat to him. Instead, he sighed,

"Elder Wu, I have said good things to you, but you are stubborn. Since you won't give me face, I will let you see the true strength of my Wild Wolf Gang! Do it!"

At a command, hundreds of ambushers from the Wild Wolf Gang rushed out of the dense forest, each holding a heavy crossbow made of black iron.

"Shua, shua, shua." Each heavy crossbow can fire three arrows in a row. Dozens of crossbowmen in the front row fired rapidly, and hundreds of crossbow arrows attacked.

Caught off guard, dozens of people from the Qixuan Sect were soon knocked down.

Under the powerful crossbow arrows, any martial arts or protective qi is completely useless. Except for a few people who are agile and can block a few arrows, many people are directly pierced to death by two or three crossbow arrows.

A disciple of the Seven Mysterious Sect picked up the arrow and identified it, and said in surprise,

"What? It's a chain crossbow! Elder Wu, these wolf cubs are using military chain crossbows. Run, ah——"

The crossbowmen of the Wild Wolf Gang had obviously been trained. The crossbowmen in front who had run out of arrows immediately retreated to reload arrows. Behind them, another team of crossbowmen took turns holding crossbows and came forward. They fired continuously and arrows soon rained down.

Everyone in the Qixuan Sect was in complete chaos. Seeing people around them falling down one after another, they forgot all about battle formations and sect rules and started fighting on their own.

This further accelerated the speed of the Seven Profound Sect's defeat, resulting in a one-sided massacre by the Wild Wolf Gang.

Mo Juren also became a target in the crowd.

A crossbow arrow shot towards his shoulder, and he caught it with one hand...
