Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1744: Chapter 136: Make a Fortune! Capture Shangjing City

…

With a single command.

The soldiers who had been lying in wait surged forward like a tide, charging down from the dense forest.

This operation was a surprise attack, so Luqiu Yuanmo and Jia Bao Princess brought only experts at the Heavenly Human Realm and above.

The personnel Jia Bao Princess brought were quite varied, including retired old princes, old Commandery Princes, and some Heavenly Human Realm household guards forcibly gathered from various mansions, as well as some inheritors from the Imperial Household who had never been to the battlefield.

As for the newly recruited makeshift militia, letting them hold the town was manageable, but having them join in the surprise attack on the bandit army would just add to the chaos.

Luqiu Yuanmo was no different, bringing along a mix of the old and the young.

The two elite forces united like a single arrow, swiftly shooting towards the direction of Yun Mengyu and Wang Fugui.

Leading the charge was an elderly lady, spirited and majestic in demeanor.

Clad in armor, wielding a Divine Spiritual Treasure warhammer, surrounded by dense protective energy, with a massive Bronze Bull phantom manifesting behind her, she appeared like a rampaging humanoid fierce beast, exuding unparalleled ferocity and dominance.

This old lady was the South Yan Country’s [Prince Qing Shao].

In her youth, she was a dazzling, influential figure with extraordinary talent, deeply favored by the Great Emperor Yuanyin shortly after his ascension, and greatly admired by the youth of her time.

Unexpectedly, she did not choose to marry a prominent family scion like most princesses but instead chose to bring in a consort. Consequently, she stayed within the Imperial Household, eventually earning the title of [Prince] through her military achievements.

She is indeed a legendary figure in the South Yan Country.

Besides her, the other Divine Power Territory members were elderly, one being a venerable old prince from the South Yan Imperial Household, another an Old Ancestor from the Lvqiu Clan, and the remaining two were elders from Third-Class Aristocratic Families.

This “capture the leader” surprise attack saw almost the top elites from Xiang Ancient City go forth.

Luqiu Yuanmo and Qiu Daoyu had waited with such patience for so long, and it was not in vain.

With defenses lax, the soldiers in the manor were in complete disarray with their positions, and even those meant to be on guard were swept into the scramble for spoils, unable to organize themselves quickly.

Amidst earth-shaking shouts and slashes, the elite from Xiang Ancient City organized with great difficulty like a sharp arrow under the leadership of several Divine Realm Powerhouses, plunging fiercely into the manor.

“The underground warehouse at the center of the Herb Garden, the voices of Yun Mengyu and Wang Fugui came from there just now.” Prince Qing Shao, wielding her warhammer and charging at the forefront, her gaze sharp like lightning, her aged voice thunderous, carried with it the decisiveness and sharpness of a battlefield warlord, “Everyone, follow me to battle!”

“Charge into the warehouse!”

“Capture Yun Mengyu alive!”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

With just a few words, the morale of the Yan Kingdom’s elites was instantly stirred, and they charged towards the underground warehouse at the manor’s center, led by her and several other Divine Power Territory figures.

The commanders of the two volunteer battalions, seeing the unfavorable situation, immediately organized soldiers to resist.

However, they ultimately lost the initiative. Despite efforts to boost morale and organize resistance, they still couldn’t stop the united force, committed only to capturing the Immortal Dynasty Princess and turning the tide, from the elite of Moyan Country.

The vanguard drew closer and closer to the underground warehouse.

Inside the underground warehouse, Yun Mengyu and Wang Fugui seemed stunned by the commotion outside, even ceasing their argument.

The door to the underground warehouse loomed ever closer, soon to be breached.

Suddenly.

“Boom!”

The azure Mysterious Energy exploded violently.

The warehouse door was abruptly opened from inside as an elderly woman in blue calmly stepped forward. With a wave of her hand, a massive, overwhelming Mysterious Energy surged out madly, charging toward the onrushing soldiers of Moyan Country.

This elderly woman was naturally Aunt Rong.

The violent energy surged like waves, as if the heavens and earth were upheaving.

In an instant, everyone seemed to hear the howling wind’s sound, as if a mighty gust of wind blew from the void, or perhaps an ancient giant beast had stirred from its slumber with a sharp howl.

As the mighty wind-attribute energy swept past, the approaching cultivators of Moyan Country were instantaneously blown away, each pale and vomiting blood uncontrollably.

The closest, Prince Qing Shao, hadn’t even had a chance to react before the vast energy drove her off balance, hurling her backward.

“A Transcendent Void Realm powerhouse!”

Luqiu Yuanmo, rushing in the second echelon, narrowed his eyes.

Such a formidable combat strength, such astounding presence, unmistakably a Transcendent Void Realm powerhouse!

“Just as expected. Fortunately, I had preparations.” Jia Bao Princess Qiu Daoyu’s expression tensed as well.

She immediately turned to a middle-aged man beside her, clad in a gray robe and exuding a simple demeanor, nodded at him, and courteously said, “Please trouble the Old Ancestor Kui.”

This gray-robed middle-aged man was none other than the National Guardian Beast of Moyan Country, Kui Bull [Qiu Kui]!

“Rest assured.” The middle-aged Qiu Kui nodded, his expression solemn as he instructed, “With my strength, I can hold her for at most two hours; make the most of the time.”

With that, he took out a heavy bronze shield, and charged forward with it.

“Boom!”

He stomped the ground with one leg, instantly creating a deep crater.

His form, like a gray streak of lightning, vanished in the blink of an eye, and when he reappeared, he stood in front of Aunt Rong.
