Chapter 42: The Change in the Campsite

  Two elders, along with high-ranking members of the Wolfs Fang Mercenaries, gathered together to discuss their next move.

  "How much do you know about Xujia Campsite?"

  Langya rarely interacts with the four major families, but this time the Tian and Wan families found him, hesitated for a long time, and chose to take a risk in the face of great temptation.

  Canglang City has been circulating rumors for days that the Xu family is not far from destruction, and Langya dare to take risks, letting Xu Yilin know that he participated in the elimination of Langyas mercenary group.

  "There are two super strong men in the camp. The strongest one is called Xu Yishan, Xu Yilins younger brother. As long as we eliminate him, the others will not be a problem."

  A detailed document was presented, with over a hundred guards, plus Xu Yishan and Hu Zhi, all laid out before the wolfs eyes, showing that both families had done their homework beforehand.

  "Are you sure there arent any other experts in the camp?"

  Langya suddenly furrowed his brow, he had been wandering on the edge of life and death for many years, growing up with wild wolves, and had a natural sense of danger. His gaze turned to the camp, and his subconscious told him that there was danger inside.

  Relying on their keen sense of smell, they have managed to carve out a share for themselves from the four major families over the years. What has allowed them to do so is not just their strength, but also their prudence.

  Every day is a life of living on the edge of a knife, and if one is slightly careless, they will die without a place to be buried.

  "No, yesterday the master of the house sent a message to me through a flying pigeon, Xu Yilin is still in Canglang City and has not left."

  Tian Qi Hong patted his chest and guaranteed that the information was completely correct. The Xu familys mine vein, they had already figured it out a long time ago.

  "Alright, well make our move in half an hour, when theyre fast asleep."

  Langya nodded, he knew very well how many masters there were in the Xu family, and it was possible that he had been too cautious.

  A small temple in the camp, Xu Yishan drank alone, feeling depressed by the arrival of Liu Wuxie, and unable to find a way to vent his emotions, so he could only drink.

  "Old Xu, its getting late, go rest early."

  Hu Zhi walked over, sat down beside him and told Xu Yishan to stop drinking, not to ruin his own life because of a useless thing.

  "Old Hu, you go rest now, dont worry about me anymore."

  Xu Yishan waved his hand and let Hu Zhi Shi go rest first, then downed another cup of wine.

  "Old Xu, I know what youre thinking in your heart. Its just that you look down on the young master, but things have already come to this point and its useless to dwell on it. We might as well go with the flow. Can we still force the head of the household to change his mind?"

  The two have worked together for over a decade and are as close as brothers. Hu Ze didnt keep anything from Xu Yishan, so he understood his current emotional state.

  "Alas... I dont oppose big brothers approach, as a person one must keep promises, everything has exceptions, cant let the entire Xu family be delayed because of a useless person."

  Xu Yishan let out a sigh and took a big gulp of wine, after all, Liu Wuxie was just a waste of resources, a complete disappointment.

  "Lao Xue, you said that Gūyé mentioned this afternoon that the Tian and Wan families will launch a sneak attack on our mine. Is the information reliable?"

  Hu Zhi suddenly asked, "Wont an empty hole produce wind? Looking at Brother-in-laws appearance this afternoon, it doesnt seem like hes lying."

  "If you believe that rubbish, those two families dare to come, Ill make sure they wont be able to return."

  Xu Jias camp was equipped with a large number of bows and arrows, which were made from special yew wood. Although they were not as powerful as Shi Po Juns crossbow, their killing power was extremely great, and could easily pierce through the body of a late-stage Tianfeng cultivator.

  Xu Yishan let out a cold laugh and looked down on Liu Wuxies words.

  "We must be vigilant and strengthen our patrols, even if the news is false, lest someone takes advantage of it to launch a surprise attack."

  Hu Zhi thought it was a serious matter. Recently, the city of Canglang has been turbulent, and the Xu family is in a precarious situation. One must be cautious to ensure the safety of the ship that has sailed for ten thousand years.

  Xu Yishan put down his cup, furrowed his brow, and didnt believe Liu Wuxies words. Hu Zhishi mentioned this matter, and he still had to consider it carefully.

  "Ill consider your suggestion and let Big Brother send some more elite troops over."

  The night grew darker, the oil lamp flickered on and off, its fuel almost exhausted. A bean-sized flame suddenly flashed once, a gust of wind suddenly swept in, the great hall plunged into darkness, but the flame continued to shine as if nothing had happened.

  "Its very windy tonight, lets go to bed early!"

  Xu Yishan got up, his footsteps staggering, having drunk a bit too much tonight, and walked towards his own house.

  "Hsss... Hsss... Hsss..."

  Suddenly, hundreds of arrows flew in from outside the camp.

  "Ah..."

  A shrill cry of agony echoed throughout the camp, a sentry who was on patrol was pinned to a wooden pillar by an arrow that had pierced his left shoulder, and it was he who let out the cry.

  Next!

  A large number of dark shadows swayed, approaching from all sides, a knife cut open the fence, and over 100 people rushed into the Xu family mine camp. In an instant, the sound of killing shook the sky, and in a short moment, more than a dozen Xu family guards were seriously injured.

  "Night raid! Night raid!"

  The camp was awakened by the sound of a night raid, countless people woke up from their dreams, put on their clothes and rushed out quickly. The surroundings of the camp were ablaze, with flames shooting into the sky. Those miners lit torches and stood in the open space, illuminating the entire camp as bright as daylight.

  Xu Yishan and Hu Zhi were about to rest when the night raid from outside woke them up, and they turned into residual shadows, rushing out of the main hall, where the camp was still in chaos.

  Things happened too quickly, and Xus guards had hardly reacted before they were already charging into the camp.

  More than a hundred black-clad men rushed in, broke open the gate and didnt rush to kill people. They guarded the exit, trapping them like catching turtles in a jar, with mountains surrounding three sides and only one entrance, they couldnt fly out.

  "Its no good, Second Master, someone has broken in."

  Xu Yishan hadnt rushed out yet, when the guards outside rushed in, shouting that something was wrong. The entrance had been breached and several people had died. Now everyone was trapped in the open space at the center of the camp.

  "Lets go out and take a look!"

  A group of people rushed out quickly, and the two sides confronted each other on the square. The Xu family guards retreated step by step, this group of black-clothed men was too strong, especially a man in the middle, with a powerful soul-washing momentum that swept through the entire camp.

  Those miners hid around, their bodies trembling with fear, having never experienced anything like this before, each one at a loss for what to do.

  "Everyone listen up, were only killing people from the Xu family, not miners, you can all rest assured."

  Tian Qi Hong stepped out, shouting loudly, occupying the Xu family mine, and still wanting to rely on these miners to extract it, killing them, where can they find so many people to go.

  "Who comes here and why have you intruded upon the Xu familys mining camp?"

  Xu Yishan emerged, let out a loud whistle, and the Peak of Pre-Heavenly Boundary released a powerful wave of energy, causing the surrounding bricks and tiles to emit a crashing sound.

  Her gaze turned cold as she looked at Tian Qi Hong, a murderous intent surfacing. She recalled what Liu Wu Xie had said that afternoon - the two families had indeed launched a night raid on the Xu familys mine.

  "Xu Yishan, stop struggling in vain. Everyone is doomed anyway, Ill consider making your deaths a bit more comfortable."

  Tian Qi Hong let out a cold laugh. He was also at the peak of the Innate Boundary, and he could be considered to be of the same generation as Xu Yi Shan. The two were not unfamiliar with each other either.

  Xu Yishans face turned iron-green, and he didnt even put the small Tian Qi Hong in his eyes. His eyes swept around in a circle, finally falling on Lang Yas face, and his expression changed.

  "Lang Ya, you dare to oppose our Xu family, are you tired of living?"

  Tonights greatest enemy is this Wolf Tooth. In the fifth layer of the Washing Spirit Realm, unless Big Brother comes, no one among these people can be a match for Wolf Tooth.

  "Second Master, Im afraid that after tonight, the Xu family will cease to exist."

  Langya was still very polite, usually calling him Second Master. Considering Xu Yilins face, his realm was far higher than Xu Yishan.

  The situation is extremely unfavorable for the Xu family. Upon hearing the two words "Wolfs Tooth", the Xu family guards trembled with fear, having long heard that Wolfs Tooth was a ruthless killer with bloodstained hands, and never expecting him to be leading tonights troops.

  "Hmph, even if you kill us, my brother will never let you off the hook. Wolfs Tooth, I advise you to leave quickly. Tonights matter, consider it as if it never happened."

  Xu Yishan took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart. When had things become like this? The Wolf Tooth Mercenaries used to treat him with courtesy, but tonight they actually dared to kill their way into Xu Familys camp, trampling on the Xu Familys dignity.

  A slight frown on his wolf-like eyebrows made him wary; only Xu Yilin was left, and with a mere wave of his hand in the realm of Spiritual Cleansing, he could crush him to death.

  "Haha, the great Second Master has fallen to this state. Did you really think your words would scare off the wolf? I forgot to tell you, our Tian family and Wan family have already mobilized our top experts and are preparing to attack your Xu family. Your big brother cant even take care of himself now."

  Tian Qi Hong burst out laughing wildly. The two families split their troops and went in different directions, with one part dealing with the Xu familys mine and the other occupying the Xu familys property.

  It seems that they still dont know the news of Shi Pojuns defeat, and their plan to use Shi Pojuns hands to deal with Xu Yilin has been ruined by Liu Wuxie. They also rushed to Luoshan Mountains only in the past two days, and the news of Qifeng Gorge had just arrived at Canglang City.

  Specific news is still uncertain, Shi Pojuns life or death is unknown, and the Tian family does not know about it, thinking that he was delayed by something.

  Xu Yishans face was gloomy, and when Liu Wuxie arrived in the afternoon, he had already warned him that the Tian family and the Wan family would launch a surprise attack on the camp. He even scolded him for it, but now thinking back, he still felt too confused.

  If we had taken precautions earlier, we wouldnt be so passive now. As long as we hold the entrance, and persist for a little while longer, and notify Big Brother to come, theres still a chance.

  They rushed into the camp and were trapped inside, wanting to escape was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

  "What shall we do, Second Master?"

  Those guards panicked. They could handle ordinary people, but when they encountered the notorious Wolf Fang Mercenary Group, their last bit of composure vanished without a trace.

  "We must defend the mine to the death and absolutely cannot let it fall into their hands."

  Make a quick decision, stick to the mine vein, and hold on until Xus reinforcements arrive.

  The order was given, and Xus guards, armed with bows and arrows, took aim at the Wolf Fang mercenaries and the top experts of the Tian and Wan families.

  What was happening outside, Liu Wuxie heard clearly, and only then did he slowly walk down to the ground, open the door, and walk out calmly.

  The flames reflected on his face, a tender face, revealing a hint of ruthlessness and a thread of murderous intent.

  The momentum was triggered at once, Xu Yishan gave a death order, and he would rather die than retreat one step.

  "Finish them off, leave no one alive!"

  Langya gave the order, he was very clear, having boarded the Tian familys ship, it wasnt easy to get off again.

  "A mighty pack of wolves for hire, and yet youre muddying the waters. Should I mock you or curse your ignorance?"

  The Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps was about to make a move when a cold voice came from afar. A young man in green clothes walked out of the darkness, holding a short knife in his left hand and walking towards the center with a firm pace.
