Boom!
The sound of two grenades exploding suddenly rang out, and the group of Cultivators from the Heavenly Dragon Sect still hadn’t recovered from Ye Huan’s attack. Instead, Ye Huan, after the grenades struck Song Zhong, didn’t bother to check whether Song Zhong was dead or alive and directly fled into the distance. However, if anyone had been beside Ye Huan, they would have clearly heard him murmuring to himself as he ran away, saying, “When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy camps, I disturb; when the enemy tires, I strike; when the enemy retreats, I pursue. I will adhere to this sixteen-character strategy and run after finishing. This shouldn’t be considered tarnishing the reputation of Yuxu Palace…”
“Yuxu Palace!!”
Just as Ye Huan was about to reach the entrance of the Main Hall of Yuxu Palace, a thunderous roar erupted from the center of the explosion site, spreading outward. Following that, from the billowing smoke, Song Zhong emerged, covered in dirt and ash. He was frantically scanning for Ye Huan’s figure, clearly eager to retaliate after suffering a significant loss. However, when he saw that Ye Huan was almost back inside Yuxu Palace, he was instantly furious, his teeth grinding as he shouted at several Cultivators from Heavenly Dragon Sect behind him, “Attack! Everyone attack! If we can’t level Yuxu Palace today, then prepare to die here!”
“Hmph… die here? Song Zhong, you’re quite bold! If it weren’t for your sweet words tricking the Sect Leader into giving you the position of Ten Protectors’ leader, I would have really wanted to slice you in half.”
A cold snort came from within the ranks of Heavenly Dragon Sect’s Cultivators. After hearing Gu Long’s words, another man in black stepped forward from among them. Compared to Song Zhong, this man had a Ghost Head Dagger at his back that indicated his identity as one of Heavenly Dragon's Ten Protectors—Ghost Blade!
It was also due to interests that most of the experts in Heavenly Dragon Sect were recruited by Gu Long with considerable investment. To facilitate their actions and based on their numbers, Gu Long designated them as Ten Protectors with Song Zhong at the helm. Among these Ten Protectors, each high-level Cultivator had their own characteristics. Take Ghost Blade for instance; wherever he went, he always carried a nearly five-foot-long Ghost Head Dagger on his back that caught everyone’s eye. Similarly, Song Zhong’s arrogant attitude had long annoyed others among Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors, who secretly referred to him as "Jumping Ghost Song Zhong," implying he was a mere clown.
Under normal circumstances, the Ten Protectors of Heavenly Dragon Sect lived separately unless there were minor issues that needed addressing individually. However, this large-scale operation aimed at eliminating Yuxu Palace brought them together for the first time. With Song Zhong currently furious and speaking without thinking, he inadvertently drew Ghost Blade's ire.
“Slice me in half? Can you do it?”
True to being one of the most arrogant members of Heavenly Dragon Sect, Song Zhong seemed to forget his identity at this moment and provoked Ghost Blade directly. In such a situation, how could Ghost Blade possibly hold back?
He swiftly pulled out his Ghost Head Dagger from behind him. Just as Ghost Blade was about to make a move, a delicate hand suddenly grasped his wrist from the side. A clear voice like that of a lark urged him gently, “Don’t be impulsive; you know how bad Song Zhong’s temper is. Let’s deal with the current problem first before anything else!”
"Alright, I’ll sell you this favor, Jin Ling."
Without turning around, Ghost Blade did not continue to confront him upon hearing the obviously feminine voice. He knew all too well that as the only woman among the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors, Song Zhong, the woman named Jin Ling was likely facing far more trouble than the rest of them. Yet, over the years, Ghost Blade had never heard of anyone who managed to take advantage of Jin Ling and live to tell the tale.
Responding to Jin Ling, Ghost Blade begrudgingly sheathed his Ghost Head Dagger. He didn’t forget to throw a harsh warning at Song Zhong: "Song Zhong, I won’t hold this against you since Jin Ling spoke up. But once the trouble at Yuxu Palace is settled, you better clean your neck and wait for me!"
"I'll be waiting!"
Song Zhong replied without hesitation. Deep down, he looked down on Ghost Blade. After all, he believed that being one of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors meant having the demeanor of a Guardian. How could one maintain any decorum while constantly referring to themselves as 'I'?
Meanwhile, unaware that chaos had erupted in the sky, Ye Huan returned to the entrance of Yuxu Palace's Main Hall and instinctively rubbed his ears. It was evident just how loud Song Zhong's earlier shout had been.
"Hey, if I had known you could shout like that, I wouldn't have sent Black Shadow Flower to look for Yuxiang'er."
Casting his gaze towards the Heavenly Dragon Sect cultivators in the sky, Ye Huan had reason to believe that Song Zhong's shout had alarmed everyone in Yuxu Palace. However, what annoyed Ye Huan was that since Song Zhong had enough strength to bellow 'Yuxu Palace,' it meant he hadn’t sustained any serious injuries from the two grenade attacks. If they wanted to deal with Song Zhong, they would likely need to use even more powerful arms.
'What should I use?'
Flipping through pages of arms in his mind from the 2012 Arms Compendium, Ye Huan also searched among the pile of arms before him. But before he could find a suitable weapon, he noticed Song Zhong seemingly making a gesture in mid-air. Following that, many Heavenly Dragon Sect cultivators rushed towards Yuxu Peak, while the Ten Protectors remained motionless in their original positions.
"Damn it, do they look down on us at Yuxu Palace? I was planning to find some heavy-duty weapons to deal with you! Now it seems a few machine guns should be enough to handle these ordinary disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect."
Noticing that none of the Ten Protectors were among those rushing towards Yuxu Palace, Ye Huan felt no need to deploy heavy weaponry. He figured a few Gatling guns would suffice against this group of cultivators. Just as he was about to make his move, a figure swiftly approached him and set down the injured Yu Wuxia while shouting, "I'm here!"
"Bai Yulin? You really are quick... Since you're going to deal with those ordinary Cultivators, just be careful."
Considering Bai Yulin's strength and recalling the Handheld Gatling that Bai Yulin had taken earlier, Ye Huan pondered for a moment before agreeing to volunteer for the task. Deep down, Ye Huan also held a bit of anticipation for the power of that Handheld Gatling.
