"Don't panic, what's going on?" Ye Yang said calmly.
The Soldiers clasped their fists and replied, "Just now, we received urgent news that Seven Star Town has been bloodily attacked!"
"What?!"
Ye Yang shuddered and angrily asked, "What happened?"
The Soldiers trembled as they spoke, "Lord Pang Jing led a total of twelve hundred County City guards to Seven Star Town. They captured a small servant in the town who claimed that Seven Star Town intended to rebel. They slaughtered over four hundred old, weak, women, and children at the town entrance. We... we arrived too late, my lord... you must make a decision quickly!"
Ye Yang gritted his teeth and shouted, "Gather the City Guard Office Soldiers, and immediately follow me to Seven Star Town! Hurry, go now!"
"Yes!"
...
Recalling the promise he made to the elder in Seven Star Town that day, Ye Yang felt immense regret; his actions had indeed brought disaster upon Seven Star Town!
"Bang!"
He slammed his palm on the stone table, causing fragments to scatter everywhere. Ye Yang furiously exclaimed, "Pang Jing, you old dog! If you want to take revenge on me, then come for the City Guard Office; why involve the innocent!"
Filled with remorse, he remembered that when he left Hidden Dragon Hall, Elder Qingxuan had instructed him that the mission was to kill Lord of Liang City Pang Jing. However, Ye Yang had been constrained and had never found an opportunity to kill Pang Jing. He never expected such dire consequences; who would pay for the lives lost in Seven Star Town?
Zhang Tianhe understood the details and said, "Zi Yu, I will go with you to Seven Star Town to take down that old dog Pang Jing. Hmph! He relies on the County City guards, but that doesn't mean much. Killing Pang Jing and seizing military power is a decisive move; do not hesitate, or it will be too late!"
Ye Yang took a deep breath and said, "Xiang Yu has already raised the banner of righteousness in Kuaiji. Liu Bang has also stationed troops at Mangdang Mountain for months without being able to defeat the Qin Army. This world is destined for chaos. Hmph! Now is indeed the best time for us to kill Pang Jing and seize Liang City. Tianhe, let's set off immediately!"
"Alright!"
Zhang Tianhe held the Hammer and laughed, "This hammer is heavy enough; it truly feels tailor-made for me as a Divine Weapon!"
"Hey!"
...
In the night sky, two figures disappeared into the darkness one after the other.
City Guard Office.
The place was brightly lit, with hundreds of Cavalry assembled. Ye Yang's steed was ready, and a durable black warhorse was also found for Zhang Tianhe. A group of people exited the City Guard Office, led by Ye Yang, and galloped away.
At the city gate, a group of guards from the lord's residence were tightening the gate. Upon seeing the Soldiers from the City Guard Office approaching, a guard stepped forward with his sword drawn and shouted, "The lord has issued an order: there is a curfew tonight. No one is allowed to leave the city. Please return, even the City Guard Office cannot leave!"
"Get out of the way!"
Ye Yang spread his fingers, and a fiery red light formed a palm imprint that sent the guard flying, blood spewing from his mouth as he fell lifeless.
"Tianhe, break the door!"
"Alright!"
Zhang Tianhe laughed heartily, leaping off his horse. He swung the Warhammer and struck fiercely at the city gate. With a loud crash, Starlight Power shattered the gate into pieces!
Ye Yang drew his True Fire Sword and swung it, sending seven or eight sword energies flying out, killing all the guards who tried to obstruct them. They urged their warhorses and sped away. Behind them, the Soldiers from the City Guard Office were full of vigor, holding their Blades high, urging their steeds forward while carrying torches to follow Ye Yang.
In an instant, they vanished into the night. In the pool of blood at the city gate, one guard raised his head and trembled as he said, "Is this... a mutiny?"
Seven Star Town was brightly lit, with thatched huts ablaze, flames shooting into the sky. Under the glow of the fire, bodies were gradually cooling.
A group of armored guards wielding sharp swords dragged the corpses and tossed them into the flames, instantly releasing a stench that spread through the dense forest surrounding the town.
Under the poplar tree, Pang Jing, clad in armor, held back his emotions, gritting his teeth as he said sternly, "Move faster. If all goes as expected, Ye Yang will definitely appear here within an hour. Hmph, he still doesn't know that his time is running out!"
One guard whispered, "My lord, why are we luring Ye Yang here? We could kill him just as easily in the city."
"What do you know?" Pang Jing's gaze turned cold. "Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked!"
"Understood!"
Moments later, from the dense forest that Pang Jing had been watching, a young man dressed in black emerged, holding a short dagger that glimmered with cold light. It was none other than Fire Plow, an assassin from the Redstone Alliance!
"You finally arrived!" Pang Jing said in a deep voice.
Fire Plow smiled slightly. "Lord Pang has summoned me; how could I not come?"
Pang Jing paused for a moment before replying with a smile, "You're too polite. I wonder how many people the Redstone Alliance has sent this time? Hmph, Ye Yang is no weakling; he possesses strength close to the Stellar Realm and has a rather reckless young man by his side who seems to be a descendant of Beast God Valley. His strength is not inferior to Ye Yang's. Recently, he has trained hundreds of soldiers and is forming a powerful force in Liang City!"
Fire Plow chuckled lightly. "Don't worry. The Redstone Alliance is serious about uprooting Ye Yang this time; we've sent twelve Blue-Robed Overseers and three Purple Robe Supervisors!"
Pang Jing furrowed his brow. "Blue-Robed Overseers? Purple Robe Supervisors? May I ask what these titles mean..."
Fire Plow smirked, a hint of disdain in his voice as he said, "Redstone Alliance is unfathomable. These are merely two titles within the Redstone Alliance. The Blue-Robed Overseer is responsible for the business affairs in the County City level areas, possessing strength from Earth Level Eight to Earth Level Nine. The Purple Robe Supervisor oversees the business affairs within the state city area and has at least Starry Sky Level strength!"
"What?!"
Pang Jing widened his eyes in shock. "This... this is too powerful. I didn't expect the strength of the Redstone Alliance to reach such heights. It truly is awe-inspiring..."
Fire Plow smiled. "This is just the Tip of the Iceberg for the Redstone Alliance. There’s no need for you to be overly surprised, my lord. However, after killing Ye Yang and Zhang Tianhe, don't forget your promise to the Redstone Alliance, to hand over the ancestral mountain of the Fire God Clan."
Pang Jing nodded. "That’s naturally not a problem. It's just that, why would the Redstone Alliance go to such lengths to kill Ye Yang and Zhang Tianhe, only to ask for a decayed mountain?"
Fire Plow sneered. "Some things are better left unknown, my lord."
Pang Jing fell silent, clearly not wanting to press further.
...
In the next moment, Fire Plow narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, whispering, "Hey, Ye Yang is coming. This time, with Yun Xiaoxi not here, I want to see how you can escape with your life!"
