Chapter 436 Linyuan City Undercurrent

"call…"

In the Taiping Sect's formation, a general let out a long breath, his eyes still fixed on the direction where the last trace of silver disappeared in the distance.

"Everyone, should we continue the pursuit?"

He looked back at his colleague beside him, with a hint of worry and inquiry between his brows.

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding Taiping Sect generals looked at each other, and no one responded for a while.

There was a subtle silence in the air, as if everyone was weighing the pros and cons, and as if waiting for others to speak first.

"Pursuit?"

A general in brocade clothes sneered, breaking the brief silence. "General Li, have you forgotten how the White Horse Volunteers just now entered our army like an empty space? Sending troops to pursue them is like throwing meat buns at a dog, and there will be no return."

"Light cavalry is known for its mobility, not to mention the well-trained and well-equipped Baima Yicong."

The man called General Li blushed slightly, but still argued unwillingly: "That being said, if we let them leave like this, wouldn't it make me seem like a nobody in the Taiping Sect?"

"Humph, General Li, this is wrong."

"The White Horse Volunteers have long been known throughout the world as an elite division since the decisive battle in Qizhou. Seeing them today, they are indeed worthy of their reputation."

"If we pursue them blindly, I'm afraid we will suffer even greater losses. In my opinion, it is better to withdraw our troops for the time being and make long-term plans."

Another general in black robe interjected.

"Long-term plan?"

"Are we just going to watch them leave?"

General Li frowned.

"Withdraw?" The black-robed general shook his head. "General Li, how do you know they are not trying to lure the enemy?"

"The White Horse Volunteers are extremely mobile. What if our army pursues them too deeply and they are ambushed?"

"You must know that war is a treacherous art. You must be careful."

Although the Taiping Sect does have a large number of members now, everyone knows clearly how strong its combat capability is.

Faced with the Taoist soldiers, the White Horse Volunteers, none of them said a word.

"Besides, our army has lost a lot of troops today, and morale has also been hit."

"If we forcefully pursue them at this time, I'm afraid it will backfire."

The black-robed general paused and continued.

Hearing this, General Li couldn't help but sigh and wanted to say something else.

"Humph, are you really unwilling to give up? If you want to die, go ahead and chase us, but don't drag us along."

A general scoffed.

"Yeah, didn't you see that bull nose blew so loudly on the spot that the Xuantian Guards, who claimed to be able to compete with the real Taoist soldiers, were beaten like dogs by the White Horse Yicong?"

"If we pursue them rashly, we may end up repeating the same mistakes."

"If General Li is unwilling, he can lead his troops forward himself and there is no need to provoke us here."

Another general interjected, then looked at General Li and said meaningfully.

General Li, who had previously proposed a pursuit, looked embarrassed but said nothing more.

The generals were discussing the issue and each held their own opinions, causing the scene to become somewhat chaotic for a while.

Just then, Chong Heqing walked over. Although he was shot in the shoulder, he still maintained his dignity.

"enough!"

Zhong Heqing shouted, and the scene suddenly quieted down. "Although the White Horse Volunteers are strong, our Taiping Sect is no ordinary force. Letting them escape this time was a tactical mistake on our part, so there is no need to blame ourselves too much." Upon hearing this, the generals looked at Zhong Heqing's unfriendly eyes and nodded in agreement.

"Pass the order down, the entire army will rest and we will discuss it again tomorrow."

Chong Heqing gave the order. Although his voice was not loud, it revealed an unquestionable power.

Faced with Chong Heqing, who ranked first in strength in their camp, even if some people were a little indignant, they dared not say anything in front of Chong Heqing.

Due to Chong Heqing's authority, they could only agree in unison, then retreated and began to arrange for repairs.

At this moment, the silver color on the distant horizon had long disappeared.

The White Horse Volunteers swept through the battlefield like a gust of wind, leaving behind only blood and fire on the ground and fear in the hearts of the Taiping Sect soldiers.

And just when the war between the Cangzhou Army and the Taiping Sect was in the front battlefield, it ended with the withdrawal of the Cangzhou Army under Su Ye.

As the night deepened, the Cangzhou Army retreated to the rear, and Linyuan County seemed unusually quiet under the moonlight.

However, this peaceful night is about to be broken.

Hundreds of figures flew across the night sky like night owls.

With his nimble movements, he silently avoided the Cangzhou soldiers patrolling on the city wall and sneaked into this seemingly peaceful town.

Among these uninvited guests, there was a master whose aura was as deep as the sea, as if he could devour everything. Judging from the internal strength emanating from his body, he was obviously an internal force expert in the late stage of the celestial being!
Beside this powerful man, there were two junior masters of the Heavenly Man level, with eyes as sharp as eagles, revealing a fierce murderous intent.

Then followed closely behind were a dozen or so grandmaster-level internal force masters, each of whom possessed amazing martial arts, enough to create a storm in the martial arts world.

These masters gathered in Linyuan City with only one purpose - to turn the feigned defeat of the Cangzhou army into a real defeat and further disrupt the situation in Daqian.

As long as it succeeds, whether it causes Prince Yun Su Kai to break with the Daqian royal family or takes the opportunity to eliminate Su Ye and the Cangzhou army, this unstable factor, it will have a far-reaching impact on the future situation in Daqian.

In the darkness of night, their figures shuttled through the streets and alleys of the city like ghosts, heading straight for the Cangzhou Army's logistics warehouses and important facilities.

The movement was swift and silent, like a gust of wind passing by, leaving behind only a hint of murderous intent and a cold wind.

At the same time, Wang Xiangyang, who had been secretly guarding Linyuan City, was sitting alone in a quiet courtyard with his eyes closed to rest.

Although he did not open his eyes, the aura around him was as steady as a mountain, as if everything was under his control.

Suddenly, he frowned slightly, as if he noticed something strange.

However, he did not act rashly, but continued to keep his eyes closed and rest, secretly observing the movements around him.

Those petty thieves who go to various logistics warehouses and important facilities.

Naturally, people from Luowang and Shenwu Hall will go to deal with them.

What he needs to do is to eliminate those people in the martial arts world who are above the level of celestial beings and dare to pull the tiger whiskers of the Cangzhou army.

Hammer them one by one!

The night in Linyuan County should have been silent, but at this moment it was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

Those masters who sneaked into the city have begun their destructive actions. Flames shot up into the sky, explosions sounded one after another, and the whole city seemed to be in chaos.

"Hunxi Longyou!"

Swish!
boom!
Among the three celestial beings in this group, one of them is called "Yingyue", an early stage celestial being with internal strength. He is dressed in a black robe as deep as the night, with a silver belt tied around his waist, which is inlaid with strange talismans and emits a faint light.

His face was pale and thin, and his eyes flashed with a cold light, like two bottomless cold pools.

The internal energy in his body took on a strange dark purple color, like a ghost fire in the night sky, flickering and exuding an ominous aura.

Just when he was about to kill with one blow the captain of the Cangzhou army who was guarding the granary.

A golden internal force suddenly burst out, transforming into a golden crow flapping its wings and roaring loudly, and swooped down towards Yingyue at lightning speed.
