The military camp is not far from Yuxiu Academy, and the ponds inside the academy, as well as the lakes outside, are all fed by water from the nearby Chu River.
For the convenience of water access, camps are often stationed not far from the river.
"Having a river is good, but what do you ask for?"
Ouyang Chenchen was stunned, what time was it, and Feng Bailing was still concerned about whether there was a river or not.
It is now the rainy season in Great Chu, and on the days Feng Bailing and Ouyang Chenchen were out, it rained continuously for many days, and the sun has only just shown in the past two days.
The water level in the Chu River is on the rise, and puddles can still be seen everywhere among the grasslands near the official roads.
"Go hire a cart and take the injured villagers back to the city. I’ll make a trip to the military camp, don’t worry, I will definitely bring Sister-in-law Li back without a scratch. Not only will I bring her back, but I will also make the Mu Family Army pay the price they owe."
Feng Bailing was worried Ouyang Chenchen would act impulsively and told her to return to the city first.
Initially, Ouyang Chenchen was not happy about it, but considering Dugu Wu was also there, she thought that this couple, each more cunning than the other, would not suffer a loss if they joined hands.
So she took the villagers back to Chu City first.
Feng Bailing walked along the banks of the Chu River towards the upstream, and after a quarter of an hour, she indeed saw the military camp stationed there, with the Mu Family Army flag flying on the watchtower visible from afar.
Feng Bailing arrived at the edge of Chu River, the broad surface of the river was brimming with water due to the recent rains.
Near the military camp, there was a half-person-tall, temporarily constructed yellow clay dam to prevent flooding.
Suddenly on the calm surface of the water, a glint of light flickered.
Under the power of the Water Holy Seal, waves suddenly rose on the river’s surface, each as tall as two to three floors, charging towards the military camp with imposing momentum.
Inside the Mu Family Army camp, the soldiers who were watching the commotion fell silent.
A dozen or so people from the Vanguard Camp were lying on the ground, groaning.
The two new recruits, Feng Luochen and Dongfang Yong, were unscathed.
The duo were caught off guard at first, but as Wuji Masters, their strength was exceptional. Working together, one punching and the other kicking, one attacking, the other defending, those dozen or so people couldn’t get close at all.
"What are you standing around for, capture them!"
The scribe secretly glanced at Mu Nianzhi’s face, which was clouded with gloom.
He had come today to show off the strength of the Mu Family Army with Dugu Wu, but who knew that these two new recruits would not only challenge authority but also knock down his carefully selected Vanguard Camp.
The Vanguard Camp charged in a swarm, with dozens of soldiers surrounding the two.
In the shadows, many crossbows simultaneously aimed at Feng Luochen and Dongfang Yong.
Crossbow arrows shot from all directions.
With an angry roar, Dongfang Yong leaped up; the Wuji Earth Seal on his forehead was very conspicuous. Like a whip, his leg swept out, breaking the crossbow arrows in its path and sending them clattering to the ground.
Mu Nianzhi was startled.
This new recruit, who had been denied entry to the Vanguard Camp, turned out to be a renowned Wuji Expert.
Looking at Feng Luochen, he was equally formidable. His fists rained down like a torrent, targeting the Vanguard Camp soldiers closing in on him.
The Gang Qi around him was sharp and unstoppable, and the ancient "Earth" Seal on his forehead drew much attention.
Mu Nianzhi’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Even merely a Wuji Earth Seal, within an entire military camp, was exceedingly rare.
Now that two had appeared suddenly, Mu Nianzhi was both startled and delighted.
With his command, both sides ceased their actions.
Mu Nianzhi’s face took on a friendly and kind appearance as he smiled.
"Both of you have great skills, I am very pleased to welcome you to join the Vanguard Camp. Earlier was a misunderstanding. It was a scenario I set up to test you both. Having two heroes join the Mu Family Army would undoubtedly be a significant boost. I am still short on two personal soldier captains, and I wish to enlist the two heroes."
"Ptui, I see through you now, what Mu Family Army, a bunch of nonsense."
Following this incident, Feng Luochen saw the true colors of the so-called Mu Family Army.
No wonder his mother and sister never approved of him joining the Mu Family Army.
Without hesitation, he stripped off his uniform and threw it on the ground.
Dongfang Yong also cast aside his new recruit outfit at the same time. As a mercenary, at least he was protecting the country, but serving in this scoundrel Mu Family Army was like bullying men and dominating women, plundering the villages; it was better not to be this sort of soldier.
Their actions were undoubtedly a slap in the face of Mu Nianzhi.
"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Mu Wei, seize these two intruders."
Mu Nianzhi sneered, and from a hidden spot beside him, four figures suddenly moved. As soon as these men appeared, their Gang Qi exploded, each one of them was a Wuji Earth Seal expert.
Feng Luochen and Dongfang Yong then realized that things were bad.
In the nick of time, someone yelled from behind the military camp.
"The flood is coming!"
