Chapter 831: Fierce Battle at Yipin Hall

Yipin Hall and the Mu Family were progressing smoothly in accumulating battle merits…
With the prestigious name of a top gang, it was not a problem for them to monopolize a group of Mongol cavalry. Their strong soldiers made others hesitant to provoke them.
But Xifeng Tower and some larger gangs faced greater difficulties! Even some well-known and powerful alliance gangs in the Central Plains often encountered competition from other gangs and experts, forcing them to fight hard to gain as many battle merits as possible.
Near the army’s position, the people from Xifeng Tower ran into serious trouble.
Just then, the group of Mongol cavalry controlled by Meng Yun and Xueyi had already been dealt with. The two quickly changed direction and targeted the Mongol cavalry held back by Xifeng Tower.
Upon arrival, they loudly ordered everyone to clear the area; those who hesitated were killed on the spot.
“Meng Yun, don’t go too far!!”
Although Shadow was at a clear disadvantage in terms of momentum, it was still a battle between two forces. Shadow wanted to grow stronger—she wouldn’t lose the fight even if she lost individuals. Moreover, with the people from the Wind and Rain Alliance by her side and the Mu Family’s territory just ten miles away, she wasn’t afraid at all despite facing thousands of Yipin Hall experts charging at her. She shouted loudly in defiance.
“…”
“Hall Master, it’s people from Xifeng Tower, led personally by Shadow,” reported one of her subordinates. Meng Yun frowned slightly, feeling annoyed.
She naturally knew that this woman, Shadow, had defected to the Mu Family. Shadow was largely responsible for the rapid decline of Lingxiao Palace, turning it into what it was now. Relying solely on the Mu Family’s strength, it would have been impossible to mobilize enough troops to push Lingxiao Palace to such a state in such a short time.
Shadow had been a source of frustration and hatred for her for a long time. Now, seeing her, a fierce killing intent flared up within her chest! Yet, Meng Yun’s expression didn’t change at all. She simply asked, “How many?”
“Less than five hundred.”
Hearing her subordinates’ reply, Meng Yun glanced at the more than two thousand people still engaged with the Mongol cavalry in the distance. “Kill them all. Be decisive—don’t dawdle.”
Although killing during missions on the border between the two countries wouldn’t result in serious injuries and thus wouldn’t affect the Mu Family, each death would reset all accumulated battle merits, dealing a significant blow to Xifeng Tower.
“Understood.”
The Yipin Hall experts received the order and, without hesitation, raised their knives. Immediately, those fighting against Yipin Hall were surrounded, with dozens dying on the spot…

Thousands of experts from Yipin Tang acted without hesitation, giving special attention to the people from Xifeng Lou.
“Bastards!”
“You wretches from Yipin Tang, you won’t die easily!”
“Lord! Run quickly!”
The people from Xifeng Lou also realized that Yipin Tang’s actions were likely a revenge for them helping the Mu family. Wu Kuo led his men back while fighting, protecting Meiying to escape.
“No need!”
As the men from Yipin Tang attacked, Meiying’s bright and charming eyes showed neither panic nor anger, but rather a glint of determination:
“Brother, quickly send a message to Yinhu, Kaidi, Xiaobei, or Momo—anyone will do—tell them what’s happening here.”
“Yipin Tang has gone too far. We must inform the Mu family, but first we need to get away from here!” Seeing the men from Yipin Tang closing in, Wu Kuo was both anxious and angry:
“You’ve worked hard to earn over eight thousand combat points. If you die, all that effort will be wasted… Hurry! While they haven’t fully surrounded us, let’s leave quickly!”
“Follow my advice.”
Meiying stood calmly in place, staring at the aggressive men from Yipin Tang, showing no intention of leaving.
“You…”
“Brother! You have to give something to gain something. Trust me!”
Meiying calmly looked into Wu Kuo’s eyes, and he gradually calmed down, though still skeptical:
“What do you mean, give something to gain something?”
He still couldn’t imagine what he could gain by losing over eight thousand combat points.
By then, he no longer hesitated.
Because Meiying always thought carefully before acting and never acted recklessly.
Meiying smiled slightly:
“As you know, early this morning, Langya and Kuangfeng Xueyu were appointed as team leaders, getting those positions ahead of us… As for Kuangfeng Xueyu, although they’re strong, they’re part of a gang in the south with no connection to Yipin Tang. It will take a few days before they can trigger that mission.”
“I obviously know that. Why bring them up?”
“Langya is the head of Tongtian Pavilion, a gang from the capital. Right now, he could be considered Yipin Tang’s most loyal ally. If Langya teams up with Mengyun, they can quickly trigger a major mission…”
Meiying spoke calmly.
Wu Kuo gradually realized he might have figured something out, but…
“I certainly understand all this, but what does it have to do with us staying here to die?”
“…You don’t understand.”
Meiying sighed helplessly. At this moment, she doubted whether she and her brother were actually related or if he was adopted by their parents.

“The Mu Family is at odds with Yipin Hall. If Yipin Hall seizes the advantage this time, will the Mu Family be happy? Definitely not! At first, things were fine—everyone was accumulating combat experience, staying out of each other’s business, without anyone losing face, because both sides knew that war would bring no benefits to either side. But now, the appearance of Langya has disrupted that balance…”
“…So what you’re saying is?”
Wu Kuo’s face turned red.
Meiying was even more helpless. Staring at the experts from Yipin Hall charging over, she spoke slowly, word by word: “The Mu Family needs a reason to take action.”
“But how do you know they’ll definitely take action?” Wu Kuo’s eyes lit up, then he asked anxiously.
Meiying didn’t explain further. Instead, she drew her weapon and charged headlong at Yipin Hall’s forces…
Seeing this, Wu Kuo gasped in shock!
You have to give something to get something in return!
He finally understood…
Xifeng Tower was now an ally of the Mu Family.
If they found out that Yipin Hall had openly attacked their ally and wiped them out completely, would the Mu Family remain indifferent?
With that thought, Wu Kuo hesitated no longer:
“Brothers, let’s fight those bastards from Yipin Hall!!!”
Amidst thunderous roars, hundreds of experts from Xifeng Tower launched a desperate counterattack…
This move even inspired the people from Fengyu Alliance, who were retreating, to fight back!
“Damn it!”
“That woman, Meiying—she’s pushing me to the brink! If I run now, how can I stay in the alliance in the future? If others find out I’m worse than a woman, chased around by her… If the Mu Family finds out I abandoned my allies, hell! Brothers… go back! Fight back! Let’s take on those bastards from Yipin Hall!!!”
“Roar!”
On the grasslands, roars echoed endlessly as thousands of warriors rushed back under Meng Yun’s astonished gaze!
It soon turned into a chaotic battle involving three sides!
