118: Chapter 118 They're all foxes, what kind of ghost story is this!

Shen Yi looked at the people in front of him... feeling suspicious, but a look of solemnity appeared on his Face. He spoke in a deep voice.

"Everyone... what happened here?"

"With treasure in front of you, why are you so dejected!"

The rat-faced steward slowly raised his head. Seeing the handsome Shen Yi, who looked full of righteousness and like a refined gentleman, he couldn't help but lower his guard. Half-concealing, half-sincerely, he said.

"I am Zheng Qiu... a steward of the Zheng Family of Huatian County, a First-Rank Family."

"I must let this lord know."

"We came here to explore this Wanren Cliff."

"However... the Hu Family, a Third-Rank Family, is so tyrannical. Relying on his status in the Badao Sword Sect, that Inner Disciple Hu Lie has united with four other Families to guard the entire Wanren Cliff."

"They won't let us explore..."

"Not only that, they even declared... that whoever dares to disobey their orders... they, they will crush us into dust!!"

"Our Families are weak, only First-Rank. How can we fight against this Third-Rank Hu Family and four Second-Rank Families?"

"We can only retreat!"

"The imperial court issued an order: treasures of heaven and earth belong to those capable. Yet they are arbitrarily staking out territory."

"This world... truly gives us small Families no way to live!"

The rat-faced steward glanced at Shen Li, then sighed and said.

"Lord... you shouldn't think about it either."

"I see that you are imposing and heroic, surely a remarkable Prodigy from a Family."

"It's just a pity that those five have already divided all the benefits. I'm afraid you've arrived a step too late..."

"You cannot enter!"

Shen Yi suddenly understood... Where there are people, there is Jianghu... Wanren Cliff is a treasure land, and Pingyang Prefecture has issued the land deed. Everyone wants to claim it. Staking out territory is normal... But what is the meaning of not letting him, Shen, play along?

As for that so-called Third-Rank Family, Shen Yi really had nothing to fear! What about the Huo Family back then? Didn't Shen Yi refuse to give them any Face? He had the backing of a great Buddha like Pei Lingshu, and not only that... he also had Cui Chaoyue as a major weapon in his hand! A Third-Rank Family... a Dao Foundation Ancestor. It really wasn't enough to look at!

Shen Yi could shamelessly say that sentence.

"My wife alone is worth an army of thousands!"

This was the confidence that no one else could give!

However... a new problem arose. Over seven hundred Rakshasa Dao Soldiers, plus some Cultivators from Hanshan Temple, and twenty-four Yin Soldiers. They were truly not enough to fight this Alliance! If it came down to a binary choice regarding this Wanren Cliff, he would only choose the Rakshasa Dao Soldiers... not the Wanren Cliff. Because the Rakshasa Dao Soldiers were his foundation!

At this moment, some thoughts appeared in his mind... He looked at the dejected crowd in front of him. A plan suddenly occurred to him.

These five Families were staking out territory... these First-Rank Families were definitely dissatisfied. It was just that, lacking the strength to resist and with no one daring to resist, they could only retreat! Now that he had arrived... if he could unite these forces, he could break the five Families one by one. And then in the end... kick these people away. Wouldn't it be wonderful to take it all for himself then?

Shen Yi looked... seeing the anxiety and excitement beneath their eyelids. Seeing that their troops had not broken camp, he immediately made a calculation.

"These dogs... are they trying to use me as a spear?"

"If they wanted to leave, they would have broken camp long ago..."

"Sure enough... not a single one is good."

"I haven't even arrived yet, and they're already plotting against me!"

Shen Yi sneered inwardly, but remained unmoved on the surface. He cupped his hands and said in a deep voice.

"Hu Family!"

"What an arrogant Hu Family!"

"The Pingyang Prefecture government has long issued an order that whether it is a demon-slaying order or a land deed... it belongs to those who are capable!"

"Such private staking of territory is not allowed!"

"They know the law, yet they dare to disregard the imperial court's decree!"

"They truly deserve to die!"

"I, Alias, will be the first to disagree!"

"Everyone, rest assured. What does a Third-Rank Hu Family matter?"

"I, Alias, am not afraid of him!"

"It's just... I can deal with that Hu Family, but this trip was hasty, and I didn't bring many Dao soldiers!"

"The other four families... sigh."

A look of embarrassment flashed across Shen Yi's Face. The people behind him were dumbfounded.

"What Alias? Who is Alias? Lord, why are you spouting nonsense!"

Steward Zhao's eyelids twitched wildly. He knew Shen Yi was spouting nonsense and must be up to something bad. He could only mourn for these people in front of him... And Wang Meng, who was just about to speak a reminder, was glared back by Shen Yi.

The rat-faced steward opposite saw this and was just worrying about how to get involved. He didn't expect Shen Yi to open a gap for them directly. His Face could not hide his excitement, and he said in a deep voice.

"If we can't win the bun, we must win some dignity!"

"We First-Rank Families have been suppressed for too long... so long that our bones have softened."

"Today, with Brother Alias backing us, we are naturally deeply grateful!"

"Brother Alias, fear not... our dozen or so troops are enough to contain the other four Families!"

"Even if everyone is wiped out, we will not let those Second-Rank Families disturb Brother Alias in the slightest!"

"Brother Alias is righteous, and we cannot lose our bearing!"

Shen Yi laughed out loud upon hearing this.

"True feelings still exist in this world..."

"Everyone, before the Grand Ancestor founded the Jing Dynasty, he was just a horse herder."

"He swept across the world all the same!"

"Today, you and I are like grass before the high and mighty clans."

"But in the future, we may not be able to ascend to the heights!"

"Grant me thirty years of the masses being beasts of burden!"

"Sixty years of the Buddhas and Dragons appearing!"

"Please show me the way, for I want to see what is so tyrannical about this Hu Family... that Badao Sword Sect!"

The dozen or so troops were also shocked by Shen Yi's spirit, and they pointed to a path at the foot of the mountain. The troops made way for a wide road... Shen Yi rode away. His manner was extremely heroic.

"Everyone... I leave my back to you!"

This scene... actually made the female steward's eyes shine with brilliance!

"This person is so heroic."

"He truly is a great hero!"

A trace of mockery flashed in Steward Zheng's eyes. He was ugly, and he felt an indescribable disgust for a handsome man like Shen Yi. Moreover, this Alias looked like he came from a Family and wasn't afraid of the Hu Family, so he must be from a Third-Rank Family or have an Immortal Sect as his backing. As an outsider... he couldn't catch up. Seeing the admiration in the female steward's eyes, he couldn't help but think maliciously.

"Let's see if you still have such heroism and such dignity after you are defeated by the Hu Family!"

After speaking... everyone split their forces and headed straight for the foot of the mountain! To take revenge!

On the mountainside, Hu Lie was excited. He had come for the Legacy of Wei Bushe... and now, having successfully staked out the territory, in his view, the Legacy of Wei Bushe was within his grasp! Just then... the lights at the foot of the mountain flickered, and the sound of killing filled the sky.

"Thief Hu Lie! Evil spawn of the Hu Family!"

"Staking out territory!"

"Did you ask for the consent of our Zheng Family of Huatian County?"

"Soldiers! Kill for me!"
