Pei Yanhu’s pupils widened, a jolt of fear running through him. His chest heaved, breaths turning heavy, as his gaze quickly turned fervent.
Then, he tightly grabbed the hands of the two Colonels, pulling them forward, his body instinctively rising, his voice carrying a certain resolute determination,
"Tell me in detail what exactly happened. The court now sends people wanting to accuse the Nine Colonels of treason, completely disregarding the Mountain-cutting Army. We fight bravely against demons on the frontlines, yet these people stab us in the back. The blood of our brothers has been shed in vain. I’m disheartened; it’s about time to upend the table."
"Let’s see what the Nine Colonels decide to do. You tell us what happened next!"
As Pei Yanhu spoke, his eyes widened in anger, tinged with a bit of hysteria. The damn court has chilled the soldiers’ hearts. Hearing that Chen Yuan has achieved Dragon and Tiger, he’s already determined not to endure anymore.
The Three Mountains Colonel was somewhat surprised upon hearing the commander’s words, but quickly, his brows furrowed fiercely, his anger overwhelming,
"Right, then we’ll just rebel."
"Those court dogs, spit."
"Yes, after we left the pass, we received news and changed to a forced march..."
As the Three Mountains Colonel quickly recounted the events that followed, Pei Yanhu and the others listened attentively.
When they heard about Chen Yuan leading eight hundred soldiers to kill at Yin Mountain, blood sacrificing six Demon Mountains, the mountains running with demon blood, everyone was stirred, shaken to the core.
When discussing the methods of the Nine Colonels, the Three Mountains Colonel used language almost describing divine beings to simply depict the shock at the time.
Just as he was finishing, a sharp angry shout erupted in the sky, bringing everyone back to their senses.
At this moment, the eunuch sent by the court was tangled in blood-red chains shooting into the void, unable to free himself, clinking defenselessly. With a sharp scream, light emanated from his back as his Dharma Image attempted to rise.
However, at that moment, a yellow gourd appeared out of thin air above him, then quickly enlarged, slamming towards the eunuch’s Martial Vault.
The gourd, as heavy as a mountain, its divine light thick, causing the void to tremble. This strike directly interrupted the person’s spell, shattering the glow of his Dharma Image.
The person was also smashed by a great force, and taking advantage of this opportunity, several blood-red chains danced like dragon serpents, quickly entangling this eunuch.
The opponent exclaimed and struggled, "Heavenly Gang Child!"
Pressing his hands down, the robe on his body swelled up, a strong Gang Qi rippled out, faintly revealing a dragon’s chant, attempting to shake off the incoming chains.
The trapped dragon lock directly issued a dragon’s roar, piercing the Gang Qi like a sharp sword. Explosions resounded on the person’s body, blood arrows shot out, and his clothing shattered along with it.
In an instant, several trapped dragon locks pierced his body, then suddenly contracted, the remaining chains binding him securely.
The fiendish man fell from the sky in front of Pei Yanhu and the others, face down like a dog eating dirt.
The once-glorious Yunlang Green Flower Robe on this person was now in tatters. Numerous blood-stained holes on his body stopped bleeding, entangled with several loops of blood-red chains, which tightened with his struggles, even cutting into the flesh.
Next, Old Man Dong, with his clothes intact, descended from the sky, glancing at the person shrieking sharply, kicking him over with disdain, then wiping his foot clean,
"A useless guy with four Divine Treasures, not even able to withstand three levels of my strength. Seems like your so-called Divine Treasures are all patched together."
"What nerve do you have to escort the Nine Colonels back to the capital!"
Originally planning to make a show of dominance, Old Man Dong found the court’s eunuch not as formidable as expected, subdued him with little effort, speaking with disdain.
He then glanced at Pei Yanhu,
"This guy said he wanted to punish you."
"Heh, just leave it to you guys to handle!"
Without further words, Pei Yanhu turned aside, drawing a long knife from the waist of a Green Armor soldier behind him with a "clink", stepping forward swiftly, exuding a fierce aura, the two blood palm prints on his chest still alarming.
The eunuch, with his Primordial Spirit restrained, saw Pei Yanhu approach with a knife, struggling like a carp on land, eyes widening, thrashing frantically, letting out sharp, angry cries,
"I am Wei Zhong, the Inner Court Three Departments Seal, under orders of the Heavenly Family, following the Patrol Angel to issue imperial decrees."
"If you dare kill me, it amounts to treason, implicating the entire army, exterminating nine families. Dare you?"
The voice, as sharp as a torn throat, was especially grating, but filled with power that made one turn pale.
The soldiers’ faces changed collectively, wanting to rage but fearing to speak.
Indeed, this person represents the court, represents the Heavenly Family, and the court’s anger is unfathomable.
A cold gleam flashed!
A line of blood spurted upward, splattering on Pei Yanhu’s clothes and face, contorting it grimly.
The eunuch’s head rolled off his body to the side, eyes wide, seemingly still unable to believe it.
And Pei Yanhu knew that taking this step meant no turning back; killing the court’s Imperial Eunuch publicly needed no words.
He knew the person wasn’t dead yet, the Primordial Spirit lingered, and the blood-stained blade in his hand crackled with thunder, intending to smash the head into pulp.
But was stopped by a call,
Old Man Dong stopped Pei Yanhu, lifting his hand to seize the fallen head of the Imperial Eunuch.
Raising it in his palm, he sent a blast of blood light into the eunuch’s forehead, soon hearing a tragic scream from within.
Having done all this, Old Man Dong chuckled, "I need this guy’s head. They dared to come here, it seems Jingguan City isn’t peaceful. I’m running errands; gotta pave the way for your Nine Colonels."
Hearing this, Pei Yanhu’s blood-smeared face turned grim and ugly, stabbing the long knife into the ground, "Indeed, the Ninth Mountain Military Officer who came to deliver the message said the troops left in Jingguan City are under house arrest. The exact situation is unknown, but the outcome won’t be good."
With that, two armored soldiers came forward, supporting an armored soldier with cracked armor and two talismans stuck on his chest, abdomen wrapped in thick white cloth.
The Ninth Mountain Military Officer who came to deliver the message was unconscious at the moment.
Old Man Dong took a glance, squinting a bit,
"Looks like I need to hurry up and get moving!"
"A storm seems imminent!"
"Heh, I wonder if those people can handle it."
With that, Old Man Dong didn’t hesitate, stepping up to place a hand on the Ninth Mountain Military Officer’s shoulder, leaping into the air, racing northward.
