King of Hundred Victories Saber

Snowflakes danced lightly in the air, like countless little elves joyfully leaping about.

They drifted down to the ground with the utmost grace, quietly covering the hustle and dust.

The tree branches were laden with snow, appearing as if adorned with nature’s silver ornaments.

The distant mountains were also adorned with snow, appearing all the more solemn and mysterious.

In this world draped in silver, children played and frolicked in the snow, building snowmen, and chasing snowballs.

Their laughter added a touch of liveliness and vitality to this tranquil winter day.

Shi Feiyang stood at the city gate, stopped his steps, and slowly turned around, once again looking at Yili.

His eyes were filled with nostalgia and reluctance, a gaze meant to etch every detail of Yili deep into his heart as he softly said, ”My lady, wait for me to return safely, and we will once more enjoy the beauty of the four seasons on this vast prairie, see the lush green of spring, the brilliant blooms of summer, the serene beauty of autumn leaves, and the swirling snow of winter. You must take care of yourself, protect the people here, and wait for my return to reunite with you.”

Yili held back her sorrow with great effort, her eyes brimming with tears, nodding slightly, her voice trembling slightly as she said, ”Shi Lang, you must return safely. I long for you day and night, the people of the Naiman Tribe also long for you. You are our hope, the most important person in my life...”

Shi Feiyang looked deeply into Yili’s eyes, nodded, took a deep breath, and performed the ”Supreme Lightness Technique.”

In a flash, he became a dazzling white light, disappearing instantly into the vast snow, merging with the air of heaven and earth, and leaving no trace to be found.

Yili stood at the city gate for a long time, her eyes fixated on the direction Shi Feiyang had left, tears finally streamed down, sliding slowly along her porcelain-like cheeks. Her figure in this heavy snowfall seemed so solitary yet resolute, like an eternal statue, narrating her endless yearning and longing for Shi Feiyang.

Sunlight fell on the white snow, shimmering like countless diamonds sparkling on the snowy surface.

This quiet mountain forest thereby appeared even more vivid and vibrant.

Occasionally, the clear and melodious chirping of birds could be heard at the foot of the mountain, playing a beautiful melody for this world clad in silver.

The lonely Old Wolf Stronghold stood majestically in this snowy region, appearing even more grand and mysterious, silently telling tales of centuries of vicissitudes and legends.

The nearby mountains, covered in thick white snow, looked like white buns of various sizes.

They were arranged in an orderly manner, adding a touch of softness and tranquility to this snowy region.

Shi Feiyang, like a streak of white light, pierced through the calmness of the valley in front of the Old Wolf Stronghold.

With agile form and steady steps, he strode into the valley.

The warriors had been waiting here for a long time, and upon seeing Shi Feiyang arrive, they erupted into cheers and excitement.

Their eyes gleamed with anticipation and exhilaration as they gathered around, chattering excitedly, ”Grand Squad Leader, you’ve finally arrived! We’ve been eager to follow your lead to destroy the treacherous Old Wolf Stronghold!”

”Yes, Grand Squad Leader, lead us in, and let’s show those villains some real courage!”

Shi Feiyang’s gaze was as sharp as usual as he scanned the surrounding warriors, raising a hand to signal silence.

As the crowd gradually quieted down, Shi Feiyang spoke loudly, ”Brothers and sisters, listen to me. This Old Wolf Stronghold is strategically placed, with traps and snares everywhere. If we recklessly attack with a large number, we will suffer heavy casualties in many traps and dangers. This is not what we desire, nor is it a wise move.”

He paused slightly, looking resolutely in the direction of the Old Wolf Stronghold, then continued, ”This time, we will camp in the valley, and there is no need for a hasty assault. In my opinion, the villains of the Old Wolf Stronghold will not sit idly by once they see us camping here. They will certainly take advantage of the night to attack us. And this, presents us with an excellent opportunity to annihilate them completely.”

Shi Feiyang’s voice was powerful, echoing in the valley as if carrying an irresistible force: ”Now it is broad daylight, everyone can be at ease and rest assured. When night falls, we will hide in a concealed cave and stage an ’empty city strategy.’ When the villains of the Old Wolf Stronghold attack and break into our empty tents, we will ambush them with flaming arrows and burn them in this valley. Meanwhile, Xie Wen and I will take the opportunity to infiltrate the Old Wolf Stronghold and disable their traps. Once the traps are destroyed, everyone can then enter the Old Wolf Stronghold, and thus, we take it without bloodshed.”

”However, be sure to remember, when ambushing the Old Wolf Stronghold villains tonight, do not wipe them out completely, make sure to leave a few alive. This way, when Zhong Renwang and other villains come around, we can gather intelligence from these survivors. Later, we will use the traps of the Old Wolf Stronghold to set an ambush, and strike down Zhong Renwang and his cohorts, removing this great bane from Jianghu.”

Shi Feiyang looked solemn, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the warriors, he continued, ”As we travel through Jianghu, we must not only seek the welfare of our brothers and sisters but also think of the world’s people. The Old Wolf Stronghold and villains like Zhong Renwang have been a scourge to Jianghu for too long. Our actions today are not only to exact revenge but also to restore tranquility to Jianghu, so that the people may be free from harm.”
