Chapter 122: Aftermath

  Black riders like the wind, swept across the snow-covered mountain road.

  The knights on horseback, however, no longer had the usual cold-blooded killing intent in their eyes, each one silent and speechless.

  That stunning red-clad woman, that handsome man as warm as jade, have long fallen asleep in the snowy forest. Their deaths gave everyone a huge shock.

  Life and death depend on each other, never leave nor abandon, nothing is outside of this truth.

  Lin Feng was moved and suddenly thought of his own father.

  "The poison of Bishui Hanshui is fundamentally incurable. Linger cannot be cured, and neither can Snowflake Madame herself. Even Lin Heng, despite his bravery in cutting off his arm, will still be troubled by the cold toxin of Bishui Hanshui. How could my Yun Zhongya's poison possibly be completely eliminated?"

  If what Yun Zhiya said is true, then there should still be some remaining poison of Bi Shui Han Yan on Father's body.

  Thinking of Yun's pale and terrifying appearance when the cold poison had yet to be expelled from his body, Lin Feng couldn't help but shudder.

  Will his father also suffer from the pain brought by the cold poison?

  He wanted to know, but didn't know where his father was now.

  "Ba Dao Men, Chu Jia!" Lin Feng tightly grasped his war spear, a cold glint flashing in the depths of his eyes.

  If it weren't for the Bi Shui Han Yan of the Ba Dao Men, how could Father have lost his arm! Even now, Father may still be suffering from the pain brought by Bi Shui Han Yan!

  Such hatred, how can it not be avenged!

  …………

  Without the Red Tiger Army, Wotou City became a toothless tiger. Although there were only fifteen exhausted Black Armor Heavy Cavalrymen, they easily took it down with one blow.

  After all, there are six strong men in the seventh form of Tiger Boxing and one in the eighth form of Tiger Boxing, Xiao Yang. The city wall of Sleeping Tiger City can't stop such a strong man at all, and all the bed crossbows have been moved to the rock cave on that snowy slope.

  After breaking into the Tiger City, the bloodthirsty centurion Xiao Yang surprisingly did not engage in a large-scale massacre. After coldly suppressing the weak resistance of the city lord's army, he immediately stopped his hand.

  Obviously, the death of Ma Lian and Er two people had a great impact on Xiao Yang.

  After staying in Wohu City for one night, on the second day, tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry from Qinglan County finally arrived under Wohu City.

  The task of defending Wòhǔ City was naturally entrusted to them. After leaving 10,000 infantrymen to guard Wòhǔ City, Xiao Yang led the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry and 30,000 infantry and cavalry together towards Jīntái City.

  Xiao Yang obviously no longer had the mind to compete with the other two centurions, and the heavy cavalry in black armor did not leave the main team, but moved slowly with the infantry and cavalry.

  Arrived at Jintai City, it was almost evening.

  In Jintai City, the residents who received the news had already fled more than half of them, and the army was even more elusive. Occupying this county city turned out to be effortless.

  After resting for a day in Jintai City, Xiao Yang sent out part of his troops to cooperate with the Falcon Squad and captured the last two cities of Jintai Prefecture without encountering any resistance.

  With this, the Qinglan County troops' operation also came to an end.

  The battles in Ayanokōji and Katsuragi had also ended by then.

  This time, Xiao Yang lost 10,000 military merits in the bet, but at this moment, he didn't care about it anymore.

  …………

  This border war ended with Xuan Jia's heavy cavalry winning a complete victory, and the Kun Yu Sect withdrew from the three counties of Jin Tai, Cang Ye, and Gui Ling.

  However, the real struggle is not just concentrated on the level of heavy cavalry like the Xiongnu.

  In the center of the Kunyu territory, on a winding mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles, there are pavilions and towers.

  This mountain range is called Qiong Yu Mountain Range, a branch of the Tian Nan Mountain Range, and it is also where the gate of Qiong Yu Sect is located.

  Unlike Luoyun Sect's mountain gate which was in the city, Kunyu Sect's mountain gate was among these mountains.

  In an ordinary valley among a group of mountains, there is a clear brook.

  By the clear brook, a robust and handsome middle-aged man is fishing with a line.

  The man's appearance was so handsome that it was almost eerie, if even Qin Hao, the great general of Luoyun Sect, saw him, he would definitely be convinced.

  This man is none other than the Sect Master of the Kunyu Sect, Liu Potian!

  Although he looks leisurely, it can be seen from his eyes that this is absolutely an ambitious guy.

  And his slightly trembling hands also showed that he was not calm in his heart at this time.

  "Your Majesty!"

  In the canyon, several figures suddenly appeared. Judging from the aura emanating from their bodies, they were indeed warriors.

  And these few people were carrying a warrior's corpse and placed it in front of Liu Po Tian.

  These people were all members of the Kunyu Zong Lao Hui.

  "The Patriarch, Elder Liu Hong has also been killed!"

  Liu Po Tian fell silent, his fishing rod snapping in two with a loud crack.

  "It's really too much! This Qin Hao, relying on his own strength, actually dared to kill someone in the open at the gate of our Kunyu Sect Mountain! In just three days, this is already the third martial artist who has died at his hands!" A senior elder named Yeyang said indignantly.

  "Yes! Within three days, he lived in our Kunyu Sect, doing whatever he wanted, killing whoever he pleased, and even others couldn't look at him without being killed. Even the newly admitted disciples weren't spared, and several female disciples were also struck down by him! This is simply a demon, where is there any semblance of a master's demeanor?" Another elder, Duan Yun, said angrily.

  "Qin Hao... hasn't he left yet?" Liu Po Tian's voice was colder than ice.

  "It's already done! However, he said that if our Kunyu Sect violates the game rules again, what we'll lose won't be just three counties, but will be completely eliminated from the Tian Nan and beyond!" Elder Fan Chong said with a scowl.

  "I understand!" Liu Po Tian lightly waved his hand, "Bury Elder Liu Hong, treat his family well, you all go!"

  "Yes!" Several people bowed their heads and took orders, lifted Liu Hong's body and turned away.

  "Luoyun Sect! Luoyun Sect!" Liu Potian clenched his fists tightly, and his handsome face was also somewhat ferocious.

  Although the Luoyun Sect's revenge this time was caused by Shen Yilong violating the rules and taking action, the price paid by the Kunyu Sect is really too great!

  Including Shen Yilong who had just been promoted not long ago, Kunyu Sect has lost four first-class warriors!

  And the three people behind are Qin Hao of Luoyun Sect, swaggering and killing to Kunyu Sect, one day at a time, slowly slaughtering.

  Luo Yun Zong's Qin Hao has already become a 3rd-level warrior!

  As expected, this is the first strong local power in the Tian Nan mountain range!

  Facing such a strong opponent, Liu Po Tian was also extremely helpless.

  After all, he is just a second-rate warrior, while the rest of the elders are all first-rate warriors.

  The gap in strength made him helpless as he watched Qin Hao openly being evil!

  In order to appease Qin Hao, they sent out a large number of gifts, including several of his most beloved concubines. Those concubines looked exactly like Chu Xuehua, whom he had collected over many years and had never been willing to give to anyone else before.

  Qin Hao accepted gifts from anyone who came, but those few concubines he favored the most were directly killed by Qin Hao!

  Such atrocities are simply infuriating! However, Qin Hao's later behavior was even more outrageous. He wandered around the Kunyu Sect's mountain gate, pretending to be weak, and as soon as he was bullied, he would immediately take action and kill people. What kind of normal expert is this? It's simply child's play. And yet, he seemed to be enjoying himself immensely.

  "After all, it's just a lack of strength!" Liu Po Tian gritted his teeth in silent resentment.

  If he himself were also a third-level warrior, how could Qin Hua be so arrogant?

  Fortunately, this killing god has finally left today.

  "Luoyun Sect! Qin Hao! I'm not far from breaking through to become a 3rd-level Martial Artist! Once I succeed in this breakthrough, I will definitely take my revenge!"

  "After Snow Lotus's death, I've wasted eight years! Now, I'll go and shut myself in the Death Gate for a while. If I don't become a third-grade warrior, I won't come out!"

  Liu Po Tian stood up and his body flashed a few times before disappearing from the valley.

  …………

  Linzong City

  Tuoba Xue held a command from the Luoyun Sect in his hand, and his young face was full of astonishment.

  "Tuoba Hong, the master of Linjin City, concurrently serves as the master of Helian City. All areas under Helian City are under Tuoba Hong's jurisdiction..." Tuoba Xue raised her head and looked at Tuoba Hong with a puzzled expression, "Grandfather, what does this order from Luoyun Sect mean?"

  "I don't know either." Tuoba Hong sighed and shook his head, "Outside Heli City, that's a vast and fertile grassland no less than the Great Qing River! To give us such a region for nothing, the Lu Yun Sect is indeed too kind to our Tuoba family."

  Beside Taoba Xue, Xiao Yezi blinked her lovely eyes.

  "Xue Er, since the Luoyun Sect has treated me this way, we should also put down the hatred in our hearts!" Tuoba Hong let out a long sigh. "This is all thanks to the protection of the warriors' spirits, and that's why our Tuoba clan got such a great opportunity to rest and recover. After dozens of years, the Tuoba family will have even more warriors, there will be more cattle and sheep on the grasslands, and our family's prosperity will surpass what it was before. What else can we ask for? Xue Er, give up your thoughts of revenge!"

  "Grandfather, I actually no longer have the intention to take revenge on Luoyun Sect. What I hate is only the Hawk Squad and that person!" Taotao Xue's small face sank slightly, and in front of her eyes again appeared the detestable yet handsome face of that young man.

  Xiao Yezi's eyes narrowed slightly again.

  "Wait until summer, I will join the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry! One day, I will trample him ruthlessly under my feet and make him an existence that can only look up to me!" Ta Bao Xue said with hatred.

  …………

  The battle is over, and the Falcon Squad has withdrawn back into Wulin City.

  This battle, Xiao Yang's hundred-man squad lost more than half of its men. However, according to the rules of the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry, new knights can only be replenished after the next Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry test. Therefore, the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry guarding Qinglan County, including the Hunting Hawk Squad, had only fifteen people left.

  The army of Wulin City suffered a lot in the battle, and as a return, the territory of the lord of Wulin City added another gate of Jintai County, Wolong City.

  The other four cities in Jintai County were also divided among the several city masters who participated in the war. The county seat, Jintai City, was temporarily under the direct jurisdiction of Luoyun Sect.

  Qin Yu Zong apparently accepted this result and did not send troops to contest these three counties.

  The turbulent border finally calmed down after a period of turmoil.

  Lin Feng was in Wu Lin City, starting his quiet days of cultivation.
