Chapter 354: Counterattack!

At the cost of over 1,500 brothers dying in battle, Caiyi Gate defeated the arrogant enemy, Yipin Hall. More than 400 experts from Yipin Hall were utterly wiped out—none escaped.
After the battle, upon seeing such figures, even Fengwu Caiyi couldn’t believe it was true…
Logically, Yipin Hall shouldn’t have been defeated so easily.
Although Caiyi Gate did display unprecedented fighting spirit and determination to die, reason told them that Yipin Hall’s ambush couldn’t be that simple—there must be more to it…
Yet!
More than 400 people from Yipin Hall truly perished in that forest. Though the loss was significant, it was much less than expected. Moreover, all equipment was recovered with no losses; in fact, nearly a hundred elite weapons were taken from Yipin Hall’s men, including several of Grade 1, which helped offset Caiyi Gate’s losses.
Fengwu Caiyi still wasn’t entirely at ease. Even though all Yipin Hall members were killed, something felt off. She took the chance to send a message via homing pigeon to her brothers guarding the main hall.
“What’s the situation at the main hall?”
Soon, the homing pigeon returned, bringing news of complete calm!
“…”
Fengwu Caiyi sighed in relief, but her doubts grew even deeper. Firstly, because Yipin Hall’s ambush seemed underwhelming in comparison to its threat. Secondly, someone reminded her that Yunuo and the leaders of the Wengcheng branch never showed up at all.
“Investigate their whereabouts!!”
At such a time, Fengwu Caiyi still wouldn’t take chances. She sent orders to locate Yunuo…
The location from ten minutes ago was likely where the fierce battle took place.
The homing pigeon returned. Fengwu Caiyi glanced at the coordinates, her heart sinking. She glanced toward another forest in the distance, summoned her mount, and mounted it.
“Xupang, lead some men to escort the wounded brothers back to the city! This time, the spoils will be distributed first to the fallen brothers!”
“Understood!”
Then, Fengwu Caiyi turned her gaze and declared loudly, “Yucha, Nuomi, Baolong, Feilong—assemble 400 brothers and follow me to that forest. I suspect someone helped us stop Yipin Hall’s men.”
“Okay!”
Fengwu Caiyi’s ability to issue orders and her willingness to lead by example won over many disciples of Caiyi Gate, whether seniors or juniors. Especially after the victory, they fully recognized her as the leader of Caiyi Gate. Hearing her words, they immediately agreed, and thousands of people mounted their horses.
Boom!!

When they arrived at the forest in great numbers, a group of people saw from afar five corpses lying outside the forest, clearly well-equipped.
“They’re from Yipin Tang!”
A few vanguards rushed over, dismounted, and examined the corpses. With surprise on their faces, they called out to the main force, “Yunuo is among them too.”
Everyone showed expressions of shock and relief.
The lingering concerns in their hearts finally vanished once Yunuo’s and the others’ corpses were discovered.
Their admiration for Feng Wu Caiyi grew even more.
“Master, how did you know someone was helping us?”
“Kai Xin told me,” she replied, a faint happy smile on her face.
“…”
Qi Ci mounted his horse and stared at Feng Wu Caiyi oddly, exclaiming, “This kid is so infatuated that he ignores his friends! I sent him a message via pigeon, but he didn’t even mention any reinforcements to me, let alone just tell you?”
The people around them exchanged understanding glances.
Feng Wu Caiyi didn’t turn around; she simply sat quietly on her horse with a smile.
Kai Xin hadn’t sent her any message. There wasn’t even any instruction. It was precisely this lack of concern that made Feng Wu Caiyi realize something.
If Kai Xin had been unprepared, he would have surely sent her a message for help. His complete lack of reaction meant he must have realized this already.
Feng Wu Caiyi didn’t explain anything. She simply ordered people to enter the forest to investigate further and see if any remnants of Yipin Tang remained.
Soon…
Over twenty corpses were discovered in the forest.
The disciples of Caiyi Gate were shocked.
Judging from the injuries of the corpses and the surrounding environment…
The battle hadn’t lasted long.
But from the faint traces of equipment on these corpses, it was clear these people were far stronger than the more than four hundred they had fought against.
Such a group of highly skilled warriors with excellent equipment would be a devastating force on their battlefield—Caiyi Gate would have no chance of resisting.
At this thought, the people of Caiyi Gate were both shocked and terrified. They began to wonder what kind of force could ambush a group of Yipin Tang’s elite warriors in such a short time and kill them all, leaving those buried here no chance to resist, ultimately causing them to lose the opportunity to enter the main battlefield and leading to the complete collapse of Yipin Tang’s battle force.
A small number, yet peerless experts!
Throughout the entire martial world…
When Caiyi Gate came to this conclusion, they couldn’t think of anyone who could have done this!

In their eyes, only Happiness could possess such strength!
Yet Happiness was far away, forced to hide on the second floor of the Crystal Cave to avoid being captured by the Imperial Guards—she had no way of appearing here.
“Who is this person?”
“Maybe it’s Happiness’s friend?”
Although Happiness hadn’t revealed any information about Silver Fox to anyone, the people of Colorful Robes Sect still guessed quite accurately.
“Brothers and sisters!”
Feng Wu Colorful Robes’ expression changed several times before she suddenly raised her Silver Horn Stick high and shouted firmly, “The First-Class Hall slaughtered my brothers and killed my sisters—how can we spare them?”
“Never!!”
The crowd responded, their voices shaking the heavens.
“Good! Grip your weapons tightly and get ready. We’ll storm into Weng City now and wipe out the First-Class Hall completely!!”
Hearing Feng Wu Colorful Robes’ decisive words, everyone’s eyes lit up!
Sweep through Weng City and destroy the First-Class Hall’s branches??
“Great!”
Yu Cha and Nuomi, among others, became excited.
Originally, in their view, even repelling the First-Class Hall and protecting the main hall of Colorful Robes Sect was already a remarkable achievement, let alone destroying all of them.
But no one expected them to take the initiative to attack and destroy the First-Class Hall’s branches. Now, Feng Wu Colorful Robes’ words were like a revelation, reigniting everyone’s passion!
Xiao Piji Luanqu also roared wildly without restraint:
“Kill! I want to kill that bastard again to avenge the ruffians!!”
“There’s no time to lose! Sect Leader!”
Everyone was extremely excited.
Seeing that everyone’s enthusiasm had been stirred, Feng Wu Colorful Robes wasted no more time.
“Let’s go!”
Thousands turned and headed toward Weng City……Boom!!!
The earth trembled with noise.
