Hwoooo! The winds raged while lightning bolts flashed across the dark clouds above. The fine drizzle was now a torrential downpour.
”Young Master, your armor!”
Two Wang Clan guards kneeled on the ground holding Wang Chong's armor, forged from Deep Sea Xuan Metal.
Behind them were the erect ranks of the Deflecting Blade Manor guards. The cavalry of the Zhuang Clan, the Steel Guards of the Chi Clan, the experts of the Wang Clan, and the retired Imperial Army instructors… all the guards of Deflecting Blade Manor had arrived, together with all the students.
The atmosphere was cold and somber. Though the majestic rain beat upon their bodies and faces, they seemed to be forged from iron or silver, completely unflinching.
”Wang Chong, what's happening here?”
The speaker was Marchioness Yi, wearing a red-tasseled spear at her back, riding out of the crowd on a rouge horse. She had gotten the news at Vermillion Bird Peak and led her own party over.
She was good friends with Wang Chong's second sister and had the greatest understanding of Wang Chong. There was absolutely nothing normal about today's mobilization.
”Marchioness Yi, do you believe in me?” Wang Chong asked, not directly answering the question.
”Nonsense! If I didn't believe you, do you think I would be here?” Marchioness Yi angrily returned.
Wang Chong turned his head and asked, ”And if I want to kill a person? Will you still wholeheartedly trust me?”
Marchioness Yi was stumped. Wang Chong's complexion was icy, utterly devoid of emotion. His voice was calm, but that icy killing intent hidden beneath the surface made even Marchioness Yi tremble.
Marchioness Yi had known Wang Chong for a long time, but she had never seen him like this.
”I believe in you!”
Marchioness Yi suddenly smiled, but her voice was abnormally firm.
Although she didn't know why Wang Chong wanted to mobilize everyone in Deflecting Blade Manor or who Wang Chong wanted to kill, Marchioness Yi was confident that Wang Chong would never kill indiscriminately or slaughter the innocent!
If Wang Chong wanted to kill a person, that person assuredly had some reason to be killed. Marchioness Yi had chosen to trust him, not doubt him.
”…Speak. Who's the person that you want to kill? Someone who can engender such hatred in you can't be some ordinary person. Say it, and your big sister will help you kill him!”
Marchioness Yi waved her spear, her expression confident and carefree.
The rain pouring down pinged and clanged against her armor. As Wang Chong looked at Marchioness Yi, he suddenly smiled.
His efforts over this year were showing their results!
Every member of Deflecting Blade Manor had basically complied with his order and come.
No one had asked for a reason or what they were doing. Just this single order from him had been enough.
Just like Marchioness Yi, they had an unreasonable confidence and trust in him.
At this moment, Wang Chong was somewhat moved and incomparably proud.
”Move out!”
Wang Chong equipped the Deep Sea Xuan Metal armor and put on his helmet. His black cape swept through the rain like a saber as Wang Chong galloped forward, leading his forces.
After three li, another flood of steel approached in the rain. Zhao Jingdian, Sun Zhiming, Chen Burang, Zhuang Zhengping, Chi Weisi… and there were also the retired military instructors from the spirit vein. All of them were coming through the rain, catching up to Wang Chong's forces.
Zhao Jingdian brought his horse up to Wang Chong's.
”Young Master, where are we going?”
Zhao Jingdian had a calm face, and he had gotten even more powerful since last they met, having crossed the threshold of the True Martial realm long ago.
A black halo of thorns bristled underneath the hooves of his muscular warhorse, sending vibrations through the air as it gave off the clatter of metal.
”Old Eagle, do you know where?”
Wang Chong didn't reply, but turned to look at Old Eagle, his face cold and somber.
”I've already investigated. It's the Drunken Sparrow restaurant on Qiaolong Street,” Old Eagle sternly said.
In this period of time, he had sent out countless sparrows and eagles, covering the entire capital in his eyes and ears. Enough time had passed for him to investigate the location of the incident.
”Go! Surround that place. I don't want a single person to be able to escape!”
