Chapter 832: Taking Advantage of the Situation

Ride horses and fight!
The situation worsened further…
The members of Yipin Tang were all highly skilled, just as the hundreds of men led by Xi Feng Lou were elites from their own organization. The Feng Yu Alliance was similar—both sides were evenly matched in strength, with nearly the same numbers.
In such a fierce battle, casualties mounted quickly on both sides. Still, Xi Feng Lou and the Feng Yu Alliance were at a disadvantage, with over half of their members killed or injured, while Yipin Tang lost nearly a third of its forces.
However, Xi Feng Lou’s Mei Ying died at the hands of Xue Yi and Monk Nong Mei!
With a formidable rival who ranked high on the battle record list eliminated, Meng Yun was naturally overjoyed. But as reinforcements arrived from all directions, she sensed a hint of conspiracy behind Mei Ying’s desperate actions. Her brows furrowed, and unease flashed in her eyes.
Something was very wrong.
Mei Ying was a smart woman—she had done well in protecting herself in the capital and in helping the Mu family deal with the Ling Xiao Palace. Why would she risk everything and confront Yipin Tang head-on? It surely wasn’t because Xi Feng Lou had taken control of Ling Xiao Palace’s territory and became arrogant…
“Headmaster, people from the Mu family are coming.”
“What do they want?” Meng Yun reacted sharply, her brows knitting together as her tone turned grave. At the same time, a badpremonition crossed her mind.
“We didn’t even get a chance to speak. A few of our brothers on patrol were killed by them. That’s the news that just came in!”
“Who are they?”
“Yin Hu, and…” The hesitant tone of Yipin Tang’s expert drew Meng Yun’s attention, prompting her to ask, “Who else?”
“Feng Wu Cai Yi, the former leader of the Cai Yi Gate. He’s bringing over eight hundred men, most of whom are quite young—probably former members of the Cai Yi Gate.”
Hearing her subordinates’ reply, Meng Yun’s heart sank. She realized the situation was serious…
If it were Yin Hu, she was confident she could handle him. But if it were people from the Cai Yi Gate—those students—half a year ago, Yipin Tang had committed atrocities, and the memory of that still lingered. Moreover, the members of the Cai Yi Gate had been tempered through many battles on the western borders, and their strength was no less than that of Yipin Tang’s experts. If a fight broke out right away, Yipin Tang would be in great danger.
At this moment, Meng Yun finally understood Mei Ying’s desperate desire to die…
“What a shame about Mei Ying.”
Gritting her teeth, Meng Yun said firmly, “Take me to face them.”
…

Silver Fox and Phoenix Dancer in Colorful Robes had just dealt with a cavalry unit over there and each accumulated over ten thousand points. They were preparing to rest and search for the second group of Mongol cavalry when they unexpectedly received a messenger pigeon from Wu Kuo, warning them of help and detailing the brutal actions of the First Rank Hall, which had seized credit for battles and even slaughtered the members of the Xifeng Tower and Wind and Rain Alliance. Without hesitation, Silver Fox and Phoenix Dancer in Colorful Robes led their troops to offer aid… Along the way, they mercilessly killed any disciples bearing the First Rank Hall’s emblem! At the same time, they sent warnings to the other teams, ready to fight against the First Rank Hall at any moment! … Phoenix Dancer in Colorful Robes was also highly skilled. The incident involving the Colorful Robes Sect had long been an indelible shadow in her heart. During the half year she spent training in the Western Regions, her skills had reached astonishing levels. The desire to avenge the First Rank Hall had always lingered in her mind… but she never found the chance to act! Now that she learned that the leader of the Xifeng Tower and over five hundred of its experts had been besieged and annihilated by the First Rank Hall, with the Wind and Rain Alliance also suffering heavy losses, she knew… the opportunity had arrived. Boom! Boom!!! When more than eight hundred elite cavalry from the Mu Family charged into the battlefield, the once-arrogant First Rank Hall finally showed signs of panic… Although they had been ruthless in killing those from the Xifeng Tower and Wind and Rain Alliance, the Mu Family had long held the title of the strongest gang in the Central Plains, and it wasn’t the first time the First Rank Hall had suffered losses. As the elite who had followed Meng Yun the longest, they knew well that in all their confrontations with the Mu Family, the First Rank Hall had never had the upper hand. But this time, the Mu Family rushed forward without hesitation, starting to kill immediately! It was like tigers entering a flock of sheep! Even those survivors from the Xifeng Tower and Wind and Rain Alliance were greatly inspired, ready to take revenge after being oppressed for so long. They chased after the enemies, using both hands and feet, eager to tear more flesh from the experts of the First Rank Hall. Their fierce expressions made the members of the First Rank Hall gasp in fear. “Stop!” “Stop all of you!!!” Blood-Clothed had already channeled his internal energy to the peak of his Wuyi realm, effortlessly knocking two Mu Family disciples back, making them spit blood. His roar was like thunder! The entire battlefield fell silent!! “…Brother He.” Silver Fox was also shaken, his energy surging. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at Blood-Clothed, then turned to look at the person beside him. He Eleven.

The one who firmly holds a top-five spot among the experts in the Heaven Demon Hall, thanks to a four-tiered precious bow with 3,000 attack points.
Almost as soon as Silver Fox spoke, the precious bow was in his hands, along with a somewhat heavy dark metal arrow—a Black Iron Armor-Piercing Arrow worth ten thousand taels.
Boom!!!
A thunderous explosion echoed through the air.
In the distance, Blood-Clothed roared. Just as a sense of pride surfaced in his heart, he heard the sound of the bowstring vibrating. Looking up, a streak of black light had already reached him…
Pfft!!!
A brilliant and tragic blood flower burst from Blood-Clothed’s forehead, piercing through it and then through the bodies of two first-tier disciples, knocking them to the ground before stopping.
The sound of the three falling was extremely harsh in the silent battlefield!
“…” He Shi Yi remained expressionless, calmly putting away his bow and arrow. Only then did he notice that the brothers from the Mu family were staring at him with astonished and incredulous eyes.
“What’s the matter?”
“Not bad—killing three with one arrow.” Silver Fox was also stunned for a long time before finally managing to utter such praise.
No wonder.
Even if he faced Blood-Clothed personally, it would likely take some effort to win. So how could he accept the fact that Blood-Clothed’s forehead was pierced by the obscure He Shi Yi with just one arrow, along with two additional victims?
“A master archer! So amazing!”
“Uncle He, Lord He, please kill Meng Yun with one arrow too… We’ll all follow you from now on.” A few nearby experts teased He Shi Yi eagerly.
“It’s not that easy. I just seized the opportunity,” He Shi Yi blushed. “Who would have thought this kid would act so arrogantly, shouting loudly from the start, making his aura surge, which affected both his hearing and vision? And he just stood there motionless… He didn’t know I was using a Black Iron Armor-Piercing Arrow with a disruption effect.”
“Alright, no need to explain. The First-Tier Hall must be furious! Let’s get ready to fight!”
