Chapter 322: Tianxiong Pass Mutiny

The Inner City, Vanguard Army camp, was located on the western parade ground.

Snow flew across the sky, and fire pits blazed, crackling.

At this moment, inside a tent adorned with felt and splendid canopies, the curtain was pulled open, and wind and snow poured in. Immediately after, two armored soldiers escorted a Western Regions woman shrouded in golden gauze inside. With a push, the woman was directly shoved onto the felt, her ornaments clinking like silver bells.

Her body seemed to be restrained; she could only widen her beautiful eyes and could not speak.

"Be gentle, don't hurt her, or our This General will be displeased," one armored soldier said mockingly.

The other armored soldier brazenly scrutinized the fallen Western Regions woman from head to toe, baring his teeth and glaring, "Young Master has good fortune. This barbarian woman is truly a stunner. I didn't expect such a high-quality product to come from this place. If—"

This armored soldier was full of vulgarities, his expression arrogant, and he called out "Young Master." It seemed he was a private soldier under Deputy General Hu, merely wearing armor, putting on a pretense.

"Stop with those dirty words. You can forget about her. The other goods aren't bad either. Hurry up and go have some fun."

The two armored soldiers exchanged a smile and quickly left.

Inside the tent, Miyi lay on the ground, listening to the sound of footsteps treading on the snow as they departed. The anger in her beautiful eyes turned to anxiety.

A golden light flickered in her pupils, containing a bird imprint. Then, the lines of this imprint overflowed from the corner of her eye, flashing past. The next second, a series of tiny crackling sounds emanated from her body.

This was the Lou Lan Princess Imprint bestowed by Young Miss, allowing her to escape in times of danger.

Her body regained its ability to move. She climbed up from the felt, carefully surveyed her surroundings, and listened intently. She heard laughter like wild beasts and women's cries for help from outside in the wind and snow.

Those were the voices of her sisters from Tianxiang Pavilion!

Miyi's anger flared. She flipped her left sleeve, and a curved cyan dagger appeared in her hand. Then, she moved to the tent flap, gently pushed it aside, and peered out, her beautiful eyes filled with surging intent.

But the next second, her beautiful eyes widened, and she stepped back, clutching the dagger tightly.

She saw the tent flap open, and a person walked in from the wind and snow outside, clad in red armor, holding a long saber pointed directly at Miyi, a mocking expression on his thin lips.

"I misjudged you. I didn't expect you, a barbarian slave, to be a Body Profound. A mere Body Profound acting as a dancer and showing her face in public. It seems your Tianxiang Pavilion is not as simple as it appears."

The person who arrived was none other than Deputy General Hu from the Imperial Capital.

Miyi raised her dagger, her eyes full of vigilance, and angrily said, "My Tianxiang Pavilion has not offended This General in any way and has always treated you with courtesy. Please, This General, let our sisters leave."

Hu Jinquan's lips curled up, and he chuckled, "Didn't Gongyang This General say it? Once you're here, don't even think about going back. If you know what's good for you, your lives might be spared. If not, hehe, listen—"

Outside in the wind and snow, one could hear the rampant curses and wild laughter of soldiers, as well as the wails and pleas of women.

"You deserve to die!"

Miyi's beautiful eyes were filled with uncontrollable hatred. The dagger in her hand glinted with a cold light as she struck at the long saber in front of her.

"Clang, clang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and cold light flickered and moved within the tent, accompanied by the light laughter of Deputy General Hu.

After two or three breaths, with a "clatter," the exquisite curved dagger fell onto the felt.

A long saber pressed against Miyi's fair and delicate neck, flicking away her veil to reveal a clear and charming face.

Hu Jinquan's mocking eyes held a hint of fervent desire. "You have quite a fiery temper. This General is growing to appreciate you more and more, barbarian slave. I'll kindly take you as my maid. That's a kind of wealth you could never access, and you won't have to live this kind of life anymore."

As he spoke, the long saber continued to slide down. When the blade reached the buttons on her full chest, a look of determination flashed in Miyi's eyes.

"You're dreaming!"

With that, a poison pill hidden under her tongue flipped up, about to be bitten through.

Just at this lightning-fast moment,

Suddenly, angry shouts came from outside.

"What are you doing?"

Then, there was the sound of fighting and cries of pain.

Hu Jinquan, who was gloating inside the tent, heard the commotion, his expression chilling. The True Qi on his long saber vibrated, immobilizing Miyi. Then, he swayed his feet and rushed out of the tent.

However, after a breath, there was a muffled "thud."

The opponent was kicked back from outside the tent, flying straight into a low table inside the tent, smashing it with a "pah."

Then, a burly figure, clad in armor, stepped in through the fluttering tent flap.

Wei Zhong entered and saw Miyi, her body immobilized and her face full of determination. He waved his hand, drew her over, and removed the Restriction.

At the same time, a bone-chillingly cold angry voice rang out,

"Wei Zhong, how dare you!"

"How dare you trespass into my Vanguard Army camp!"

Hu Jinquan got up from the ground, shaking off the wood chips from his body, clutching his chest, his eyes as sinister as a viper flicking its tongue, staring at Wei Zhong who had entered, filled with Killing Intent.

Wei Zhong watched this young Deputy This General bare his teeth at him, his eyes flickering with fire. He had long disliked this Deputy This General, who, relying on Military Commander Yang Jianshan's patronage, acted without restraint, disregarded hierarchy, and had been disrespectful to him several times. What kind of person was he?

His tiger-like brows furrowed, and he spoke with a booming voice:

"This is still Tianxiong Pass, and I am still the Local General of the Guard. How dare you humiliate women in my garrison? This General dares to touch you. What kind of person are you?"

With that, he turned his head and said in a deep voice to Miyi, who was slowly recovering from her daze:

"Go!"

Then, he turned and left the tent.

"You dare!"

Hu Jinquan, having been beaten into his own tent by Wei Zhong, and never having suffered such a loss, was consumed by rage. With an angry shout, his Heavenly Gate True Qi surged, and the long saber in his hand vibrated violently with a hum. Saber light split into a hundred shadows, whistling towards Wei Zhong, carrying a killing move.

Wei Zhong's expression, with his back turned, turned cold. He stomped his foot, and with a rumble, a massive yellow stone wall burst from the ground.

Cold Saber Qi whistled, striking the yellow stone wall with a crash, creating a loud roar and sending stones flying.

Just as it was about to pierce through, there was a loud bang. Amidst the flying stones, a large club directly shattered the saber light, then shot back fiercely.

"Thud!"

The thick, black club handle violently shattered the young Deputy This General's True Qi barrier, striking him in the stomach.

Immediately, a scream erupted, and the man flew backward like a cannonball.

The entire tent was also affected by this battle and collapsed.

Amidst the flying snow, Wei Zhong walked out with Miyi. At this moment, figures rushed over, and angry shouts sounded from behind.

"Junior General!"

"These people are truly beasts."

"How can soldiers be like this?"

Among the rushing figures, armored lieutenants led the rescued Western Regions women, filled with indignation.

More than a dozen of these Western Regions women had fresh red whip marks on their faces, some were disheveled, their expressions terrified, and two cold corpses were also brought back.

Miyi, following behind Wei Zhong, saw the corpses of her sisters. She frantically ran over, embraced her still-warm sisters, and fell into the snow, shaking them repeatedly, letting out heart-wrenching wails.

"Ayi!"

"Ayi!"

"......"

The other women also began to cry sorrowfully.

"How did they die?"

Wei Zhong's eyebrows twitched as he looked at the two women's corpses. His face was ashen, and his voice was indescribably grim.

Such an outrageous thing happening in his Sky Patrol Division garrison made his anger surge. Then, his eyes became like cold light, staring at the several figures breaking through the air from both sides, forcing them to stop.

"They said these women couldn't bear the humiliation and poisoned themselves," the reporting lieutenant sighed.

"Take the people and leave first!"

Wei Zhong snorted.

But some people wouldn't let them go.

Just then, a figure rushed out of the collapsed tent, roaring, "Men, seize them!"

"Wei Zhong, you led men to trespass into my Vanguard Army camp. Even if you are the Local General of the Guard, I will not spare you!"

As he spoke, a sharp whistle pierced the vast, snowy night sky.

With this whistle, lights gradually lit up in the camps on all sides of the parade ground, followed by sounds of panic.

"Assemble! Assemble!"

Then, scattered figures hurriedly emerged from their tents, shouting as they surrounded Wei Zhong and his group.

Each of them looked ill-intentioned, yet they were all a motley crew.

These soldiers were dressed in incomplete armor; some were adjusting their helmets, some were drunk, and others, not knowing where the whistle came from, ran around like headless chickens.

They were simply an undisciplined ragtag army!

Wei Zhong saw that Deputy General Hu had thrown off all pretense and even dared to call soldiers to surround him. Especially upon seeing the appearance of these soldiers, his face flushed with anger. "To hell with you!"

"Call the troops!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, a flash of fire pierced the wind and snow, exploding in mid-air.

As this fiery signal shot into the sky, sharp whistles echoed across the night sky from all around the parade ground. Then came the rumbling sound of hooves, thundering in unison.

Soon, outside the dark parade ground, the neighing of horses grew closer, from far away. Amidst the white, snow-covered ground, horses flowed like a torrent, cold light reflecting off their iron armor. With shouts, they stirred up snow as they surged towards both sides of the parade ground, galloping to surround the entire area.

The entire process was orderly, extremely efficient, and filled with a sense of dread.

The Tianxiong Pass garrison troops moved, forming a stark contrast to these Vanguard Army soldiers.

This, in turn, startled the Vanguard Army in the barracks, causing shouts of alarm. A commotion broke out among the Vanguard Army surrounding Wei Zhong.

"This General sees who dares to stop This General!"

Seeing this, Wei Zhong's tiger-like brows furrowed. He flicked his sleeve, his Aura imposing, and strode towards the outside.

The fierce gazes of the Vanguard Army soldiers in front of him immediately dodged, and amidst the commotion, their steps involuntarily retreated.

At this moment, Deputy General Hu, disheveled and with his chest armor dented, had a mouthful of clotted blood stuck in his throat. Seeing the state of his subordinate soldiers, his face flushed with anger, and his eyes became frantic.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings!"

"Stop him!"

"Stop him!"

However, none of the armored soldiers dared to move against the Zhonglang General of Tianxiong Pass, who was full of Aura and had a furrowed brow and deep-set eyes; their steps continued to retreat.

Just then, a sharp whistle of air rapidly flashed into the sky above the training ground.

Several streams of light rushed over, revealing their figures.

At the forefront, a tall, burly, and oppressive powerful figure appeared, with a pair of captivating eyes piercing down.

"This General Gongyang!"

"Greetings, This General Gongyang!"

Within the Vanguard Army, upon seeing this figure, the soldiers successively knelt down in a large area, forming quite an impressive formation.

The Tianxiong Pass soldiers on the periphery spurred their horses, somewhat nervously staring at that burly divine court.

Military Commander Yang Jianshan saw the scene on the field, and seeing his scattered and disorganized troops being blocked by the Tianxiong Pass military, his face darkened, and his gaze involuntarily turned towards Wei Zhong in the center of the crowd.

"Zhonglang General Wei, what are you doing? Sending troops to surround the Heavenly Army and offend a superior officer—are you trying to rebel?"

Before Military Commander Yang Jianshan could speak, one person jumped out first, shouting to stop him.

It was that Zhonglang General from Lanshan Pass, who immediately put a big label on Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong didn't bother to pay attention to that fellow, but instead met Military Commander Yang Jianshan's gaze, his expression unchanged, not backing down in the slightest.

Military Commander Yang Jianshan spoke word by word, his voice heavy.

"Zhonglang General Wei, This General needs an explanation!"

Wei Zhong looked up, expressionless, "Why does This General need to ask me? Your troops abused women in my Sky Patrol Division's station, and people died. Wei still wants to ask, is this how This General governs his troops?"

Wei Zhong's eyes flickered like fire; an explanation? No, he questioned back instead.

The atmosphere, charged with gunpowder, caused the three Zhonglang Generals who had followed to change their expressions. Had Wei Zhong gone mad?

Military Commander Yang Jianshan's face sank, his skin twitching, making the tattoos on his face appear somewhat ferocious. He looked at the group of barbarian women, and when he saw one of them looking at him with resentment and hatred in her eyes, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Very good!"

"These barbarians are merely lowly foreign people; if they die, they die. Since Zhonglang General Wei wants to protect them, then let's see if you can protect them."

Saying that, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped downwards, and the Void Realm suddenly let out a sharp cry.

In an instant, a brilliant silver palm rapidly appeared in the air, expanding to five or six zhang in circumference in a breath, and whistling down a hundred meters below.

The strong wind shrieked, and the air in the Void Realm below was suddenly compressed. A sense of suffocation enveloped Wei Zhong and his party, as the power of the Dao Fruit poured down.

Wei Zhong's expression changed, and he suddenly exploded with Qi. A black wolf-tooth club, about a zhang long, appeared and thrust upwards at the silver palm, transforming into a three-zhang long club in a breath.

"Clang!"

The two collided, sounding like a great bell.

Wei Zhong's flying body suddenly sank downwards, stopping about thirty meters from the ground.

He held the club with both hands, his veins slightly throbbing on his face, and he roared upwards,

"Military Commander Yang Jianshan, are you going to attack?"

Above, Military Commander Yang Jianshan, facing this question, had a cold smile and a disdainful look in his eyes.

"Wei Zhong, This General has given you a chance, but you have repeatedly chosen to side with that Chen fellow, and insist on opposing me and Town Demon Envoy adult."

"What if This General attacks? I don't think you've clarified your identity yet."

"This General's troops are not for a Local General of the Guard like you to lecture."

"Heh, are you perhaps relying on your troops? Try to mobilize them. Once you give the order, when the large army arrives, it won't be a matter of one or two people dying anymore."

His words struck Wei Zhong's weak point, causing his mind to relax.

And Military Commander Yang Jianshan sneered, pressing down harder with his large hand.

Wei Zhong's True Qi exploded, and he slammed downwards, falling to the ground.

"Junior General!"

"Junior General!"

His subordinate captains exclaimed and rushed forward.

Wei Zhong waved his hand, his blood and Qi churning, "I'm fine."

At this moment, Military Commander Yang Jianshan glanced at him, then looked at Hu Jinquan, who was glaring fiercely not far away, and gave a calm order.

"Jinquan, you haven't even done this small task This General entrusted to you. You truly disappoint This General."

"Kill these barbarian women! If anyone dares to stop, kill without mercy!"

Hu Jinquan, whose eyes were already sinister, responded with a 'yes' upon hearing this. Then, with eyes like a venomous snake, he looked at the barbarian women, especially Miyi, who had fallen to the ground, crying while holding her sister's corpse. His gaze was ruthless, and with a burst of power from his feet, he transformed into an afterimage, rushing forward without any hesitation.

"Junior General!"

The subordinate captains saw these people trying to kill the barbarian women right in front of them, but at this moment, they were also wary of what Military Commander Yang Jianshan had said, and their faces flushed with suppressed anger.

Wei Zhong's chest also had a fire rolling within him at this time, but he had to face the potentially tragic consequences that might follow, and the veins on his face throbbed wildly.

And that Saber light, swift as lightning, went straight for Miyi's long, fair neck. Reflected in the cold light were the vicious and ferocious faces of the Vanguard Army soldiers.

Wei Zhong's eyes flickered wildly.

The surrounding captains tightly gripped the sabers at their waists.

The cold light, like electricity, arrived in an instant!

But in the next moment,

"Ding!"

"Clang!"

Just as the Saber edge was about a foot away from Miyi, two sounds of metal clashing rang out almost simultaneously.

On the Saber's blade, a large black club blocked the Saber tip, and a white Sword Qi blocked the Saber's body.

With a swish, it was directly cut off.

The black club came from the determined Wei Zhong!

And that three-foot white Sword Qi, after severing the long saber, spun and struck directly at Hu Jinquan, who was wielding the long saber.

Hu Jinquan roared in anger, let go of the saber, and transformed his single hand into a claw. His hand quickly turned as black as ink, shimmering with a metallic luster, and he slashed at the rapidly incoming longsword.

"Hiss!"

A piercing sound of metal friction rang out, creating a dazzling spark.

But accompanying it was a flash of blood, and half of his palm was directly severed.

"Ah!"

The man let out a cry of pain, his face filled with shock and anger, and his body rapidly retreated.

Just as the Sword Qi was about to continue striking the man, a cold snort sounded, and a silver light shot out from obliquely above, striking the white Sword Qi with a clang, shattering it.

And the Vanguard Army This General who made the move, Gongyang Jinguang, had terrifying brilliance flickering in his pupils as he surveyed his surroundings,

"Who goes there?"

Everyone on the entire training ground was also startled and looked around.

Just as the atmosphere became eerie, a bright moon rose from the dark night sky.

In the misty, snowy vision, within the bright moon, a pair of huge, crimson-green demonic eyes opened.

As these crimson-green demonic eyes opened, the wind and snow in the world slowly stopped.

At this moment, everyone could clearly see that above the ferocious demonic eyes, there was also a figure standing!

Black hair cascaded like a waterfall in the wind, a purple robe accentuated her noble and graceful figure. Reflected in the moonlight, the golden flying bird mark between her brows shone brightly, and her water-blue pupils flickered with an icy chill.

Lou Lan Princess An Ge had personally appeared!

Tianxiang Pavilion had already been exposed, the people of the Holy Sect had found this place, and due to the arrogance and carelessness of the Heavenly Dog under her, the souls of the Holy Sect's arrivals had escaped.

Trouble would come soon, and An Ge no longer hesitated. She rushed without stopping to the Sky Patrol Division in the Inner City, preparing to take Miyi and other clansmen away and lead them to retreat.

Then she saw this scene!

She saw Miyi crying while holding the corpse of a clansman, saw the Vanguard Army soldiers wanting to strike mercilessly, and also saw Zhonglang General Wei and others trapped for Miyi and others. The coldness in her eyes could freeze three feet of ice.

"Young Miss!"

Miyi looked at the figure in the sky and cried out in grief.

"Kill!"

An Ge uttered only this one word, then flew down.

All around the world, the snowflakes that had stopped for a mile around her flew with her, and Sword Qi surged, whistling downwards.

And under that bright moon, the old, cunning Heavenly Dog felt this woman's anger and Killing Intent, and dared not cause trouble any longer.

Its pair of crimson-red large eyes stared at the troops below, letting out a monstrous demonic roar, and surging Devilish Qi rolled, even swallowing the moon.

Then a ferocious demon materialized from within it.

One could see a white-headed, black-patterned demon, forty zhang tall, with a pair of long, pointed ears, two bloody fangs protruding from its mouth, an unstoppable fierce Aura, and a full moon behind its head.

Then the bright moon plummeted, and the Void Realm trembled violently. White moonlight sprinkled down upon the human world, and the wind and snow below solidified, an overwhelming, fierce Aura pressing down.

Following closely, from within the full moon, shadows roared out.

"Woof woof woof!"

Hundreds of huge black demonic dogs galloped down, charging towards the Vanguard Army camp.

Below, the eyes of the three Zhonglang Generals behind Military Commander Yang Jianshan widened, and they gasped in horror.

"It's the Heavenly Dog!"

"One of the Ten Fiends!"

"How could it appear here?"

And Military Commander Yang Jianshan, hearing this, his face changed. A Dao Fruit demon.

Who was that woman?

Seeing the black demonic dogs descending from the sky, and that full moon plummeting, feeling the dangerous Aura, he let out a loud roar, and a silver light appeared behind his head, and a blazing furnace flew out, spinning.

Immediately, brilliant blood light surged from his body, his blood roared like a river, his body swelled, becoming ten zhang huge, his body shimmering like silver, and powerful Aura poured out.

His body exploded, meeting the rapidly falling full moon, while he roared, "Three Junior General, assist This General by forming a battle array."

The three Junior General's expressions changed, but their feet did not move.

At this moment, An Ge transformed into a Sword Qi and flew down, charging directly at the young Deputy This General who had come from the Imperial Capital, with a chilling coldness in her eyes.

Hu Jinquan's face finally showed a hint of panic, "Three Junior General, quickly come and help me!"

But the three Zhonglang Generals seemed not to have heard him, exchanged glances, and charged towards the demonic dogs.

The Sword Qi arrived. Hu Jinquan met An Ge's eyes, roared in anger, and stirred up all his True Qi, slashing at the flying Sword Qi.

"Ah!"

The Sword Qi broke through the True Qi, severing one of his arms.

Then, another one.
