My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 704 - 223: Chaos Under Heaven_2
From leaving Liangzhou City in a white robe, seizing military power in Hongze Camp in Eastern Yi City, to igniting Spiritual Grain and inciting rebellion, the process seemed complex, but it was actually executed with a swiftness akin to lightning, taking no more than two hours in total.
Just now...
At the hour of the Rabbit!
In the eastern sky, the white light of dawn emerged, the stars faded, the bright moon disappeared, and beneath the mountains, the red sun was poised to rise.
The eunuch supervisor, Hou Bao, had summoned Immortal Master Wang Jun, leading a group of men toward the Governor Mansion. According to the original agreement, in another hour, it would be the time for the Governor Mansion to relocate and leave Liangzhou.
"Our task is finally completed."
Hou Bao was in a good mood.
After receiving the imperial decree initially, he had been quite anxious for several days.
If Commander Chen refused to cooperate and stubbornly did not want to enter the capital, he feared he would also be implicated.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
From the moment he received the imperial decree to his decision to disengage from the military voluntarily, the man in the white robe showed no signs of resistance. The observers sent in the past few days also reported that the Governor Mansion had been continuously moving belongings, with more than a dozen carts big and small.
Just then! freewebnσvel.cøm
In a moment of distraction.
Hou Bao arrived in front of the Governor Mansion and personally saw rows of carts lined up on the street in front, clearly ready.
"Commander, we have known each other for some time, I specifically came to see you off."
As he spoke, he looked toward the open gates of the Governor Mansion and felt as if struck by lightning.
Within the vast mansion, the courtyard was piled with daily necessities and even gold and silk fabrics, but there were no signs of people. A gust of autumn wind swept through, making it seem even more desolate and silent.
Wang Jun, riding his flying sword, flew in circles above the Governor Mansion twice and quickly concluded, "There's not a single person."
"They left early? No, why didn't they take their belongings? And they should have waited for General Lü to provide an escort!"
The eunuch supervisor, Hou Bao, felt increasingly that something was amiss.
He was about to go back and find someone to inquire about the situation.
"This is terrible, this is terrible!"
Just then, a rider rushed in urgently, and after reining in his horse, he directly fell off the horseback, stammering incoherently, "Chen, Sansi, he has rebelled, rebelled!"
"Rebelled?"
Upon hearing this, Hou Bao felt darkness before his eyes and almost stumbled and fell to the ground, saved only by the attendants who quickly supported him. Clenching his trembling fingers, he shouted, "Quick, go inform General Lü! Immortal Master Wang, you, you go check too, Immortal Master? Where are you going?!"
Only then did he notice.
Wang Jun had already flown up into the sky on his sword, "Chen Sansi's Martial Arts have broken through to True Power, even killing Han Xiang. What use would my going there be? You figure it out yourself; I'll go pass the message for you."
Having said this.
He pinched his sword spell, accelerating as he fled away from Liangzhou City.
After surviving the fraught Battle of Guan Du, just having secured an Ancestor Vein and the slot for a Foundation Establishment Pill, one only needed to quietly wait for the pill to be distributed to have a great chance of successful Foundation Establishment. Why would he choose to stay and face death now?
We Cultivators, in times where we must stake our lives, cannot retreat, but in ordinary days, we must not recklessly adventure.
As for Qu Yuanxiang...
He heard that early today Qu had meddled with the affair of Spiritual Grain. Watching the signal smoke rising into the sky from outside the city, he was almost certain Qu had died.
This fool, I had warned him not to provoke the white-robed man before.
When one seeks death, no one can stop them.
The speed of his Sword Flight suddenly increased, and Wang Jun quickly disappeared into the horizon.
...
Duke Weiwu Mansion.
Within the courtyard.
Lü Ji sat cross-legged.
In front of him was an incense burner.
Like a dense fog, the Mystical Energy of the incense emerged continuously, lifting him mid-air, swirling around him like purple vines, entering his body through his seven apertures.
"Big Senior Brother!"
"Something big has happened!"
Nie Yuan, the third senior brother, rushed in frantically, "Junior brother has gone mad!"
"Buzz!"
The incense burner suddenly calmed, the Purple Energy vanished, and everything stopped abruptly. Lü Ji slowly landed and opened his eyes, "Little third, speak slowly."
"Early today..."
Nie Yuan tried to calm his emotions, "Our junior brother sent all his family out of the city early in the morning, went to Eastern Yi City and killed Chu Shixiong, Xia Cong, and others, seized the military power of Hongze Camp, then ran outside the city to kill Pan Luo, uprooted all the Spiritual Grain in the fields, used it to ignite an eight hundred mile-long beacon, declaring his intent to rebel!"
"..."
Lü Ji closed his eyes, and after a long moment, he opened them and methodically arranged, "Notify the court and the troops stationed outside the city, they must surround them."
However.
Soon after, Nie Yuan rushed back again, "Xu Wencai is from our junior brother's side! He had already moved the troops last night, heading straight toward the border of Liang and You."
"..."
...
Zhenbiao Camp, North Prefecture Camp.
These are the two camps under the command of Mr. Wo Long Xu Wencai, co-commanded by him and Martial Saint Fan Hailing.
The frontline troops were marching forward.
Xu Wencai, meanwhile, stayed with Fan Hailing inside the large tent.
"General Fan."
Xu Wencai stroked his goatee, leisurely saying, "Have you considered it carefully?"
"Clearly!"
Fan Hailing nodded firmly.
"Do you know what we are going to do next?"
"I do."
"Are you really willing?"
"Of course, from now on, my life, Fan Hailing's, belongs to Commander Chen. If he orders me to go east, I will absolutely not go west!"
"I didn't expect you to be such a decisive person, General Fan. Come, let's drink together; from now on, we are brothers in life and death!"
"That's right, cheers!"
Fan Hailing drank all the wine in his bowl in one gulp, heavily setting it down afterward, and stealthily glanced at the two figures standing behind him with intent gazes, Deng Feng and Ye Fengxiu, one holding an Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, the other holding a Phoenix-crying Limitless Sword.
