Chapter 344: Yang Gong's Arrival (Part Two)

Lord Mountain understood the situation clearly. The one who had been driven away had returned, and it was only natural that they would sever ties with the main family.

Even if the main family was now down to its last member, they were still the main family, one of the Ten Clans, and the Five Vengeances Deity had the audacity to do this. It could only mean that he had already secured a backup plan.

Only the other families within the Ten Clans had the qualifications to be his backup.

As for whom he had turned to, it was even simpler. The Yin Communicator Meng Clan was the first choice, and no one in the hall was unaware of the conflict between the Evil Suppressing Hu Clan and the Yin Communicator Meng Clan within the Ten Clans.

As for the Robbing Disasters, it was evident from the Five Vengeances Deity's current methods. Now, in Bright State, he was hoarding treasures and creating malevolent energy, easily ruining countless livelihoods. These methods were strikingly similar to those of the Robbing Disasters, who were constantly evading heavenly punishment.

However, despite his speculations, he casually spoke them out, causing even the Five Vengeances Deity to be taken aback. He vaguely sensed the once deeply feared aspect of Lord Mountain, and after a moment's pause, he burst into hearty laughter:

"Haha, haha, could it be that you're thinking of using this opportunity to join me?"

"..."

Hearing his words, Lord Mountain's lips curled into a faint smile, and he said softly, "No, I'm just wondering why you didn't stay back then when you had such a good opportunity."

He could also sense that as the violent bandits approached, the Five Vengeances Deity had been accumulating his spiritual power. For a malevolent deity like him, born from this malevolent energy, descending upon this place was no different from being worshipped by four or five hundred people simultaneously.

Under the surging malevolent energy, even the Green Silk Canopy, which had been reinforced with his spiritual power, was reaching its limit, and he was forcefully breaking free from it.

However, it was precisely in this situation that he became calm. He merely sighed softly, "You've gathered your strength, but are you afraid that I'll really take action against you?"

"Hehe, you still don't understand even now. That child invited me here not to help him get rid of you but simply to keep you here..."

"..."

Although the Five Vengeances Deity appeared ferocious on the surface, he was always cautious in his heart. He did fear that the person before him would truly break the rules and attack him. But now that his thoughts were exposed, he was suddenly startled and exclaimed, "Why?"

"Why else?"

Lord Mountain glanced at him indifferently and said, "He's afraid you'll run away."

This calm statement caused the Five Vengeances Deity's face to change drastically. He abruptly looked around, but all he saw was the green silk canopy, and he couldn't make out anything clearly. A sudden, indescribable fear arose within him.

But he couldn't understand where this fear came from.

The invitation from Plum Blossom Alley indicated their stance, and they would never ruin his plans. Even if they were to take action, they would find a way to let him know.

So, what was the young man from that family, who was only about twenty years old, planning? Amidst the anxiety in his heart, malevolent energy surged, and the Green Silk Canopy, already at its limit, was filled with faces, like a group of evil spirits roaring in unison: "Nonsense! At this point, do you still want to save face?"

But Lord Mountain merely sighed softly, "You'll never understand the level of the Ten Clans. If you did, you probably wouldn't have been expelled in the first place..."

...

...

"Things are getting more chaotic..."

In Plum Blossom Alley, Mr. Mei was actually drinking with someone. Although people were restless and anxious, they managed to maintain a calm and unhurried demeanor.

The little ghost messenger ran back and forth, delivering messages. Behind closed doors, they naturally knew what was happening near Greenstone Town, close to Old Yin Mountain. If the bandits from the mountain rushed out, they would sweep through the nearby villages, leaving them empty.

More people would become displaced, joining the ranks of the bandits, causing even greater chaos. Perhaps, there might even be a real threat to Bright State.

However, he seemed completely unconcerned about such a significant matter. Facing the worried gazes of the people, he said, "Let it be chaotic. Chaos is good."

"Only in such chaos can heroes emerge, and it's easier to recruit soldiers and buy horses..."

"..."

Indeed, everyone present was filled with anxiety. Upon hearing his words, everyone except Yan Clan Mage was startled and lowered their voices, "What do you mean, sir..."

"Is it time...?"

"..."

Mr. Mei didn't respond but turned to look at them calmly, "Have you chosen the person I asked you to choose earlier?"

"We have, we have..."

Everyone nodded excitedly, their faces flushed, and said anxiously, "We just didn't expect it to be so soon. There's no movement elsewhere. Could it be that it's really time..."

"There is movement, but we received the news a bit late. Those noble families have already started placing their bets in various directions..."

Mr. Mei sighed softly, "Our foundation isn't deep, and our advantage isn't significant. But the more this is the case, the earlier we should prepare. Otherwise, we might not even have a drop of soup left to drink..."

"Hehe, the Emperor, the Emperor, this is a significant matter..."

Holding the cup in his hand, he turned to look at the dying fish in the well and said in a low voice, "Ever since the Emperor was skinned alive, the dynasty has already perished. The world should have been in chaos, with heroes rising, but it was forcibly suppressed for twenty years.

"But only we, only we these Prefects, can feel that this world, though seemingly tranquil, also has hidden turmoil, one day stronger than the next."

"Suppressed for twenty years, that vengeful energy has also accumulated for twenty years. Once it starts, who knows howmuch of a commotion it will cause. It's just a matter of seeing which good fate has earned all this final fortune..."

"..."

"..."

Those around him were flushed with red ears, agitated hands could not hold their cups, and the Green Stone Town area was already filled with cries of slaughter, people shivering and trembling.

At the touch of martial artists, shoes were lost, the Government Office remained silent, and a large group of bandits, carrying rolling malevolent energy, surged in. Even the spirits of evil retreated from the three directions, no one cared for the surrounding villages of Green Stone Town, as if a granary had been widely opened.

The malevolent energy rolled and roared, roaring into the world, countless evil spirits, but nothing was as terrifying as this.

But just then, from the right rear area, suddenly a burst of frenzied horse hooves and shouts arose. In the distance, only to see hundreds of torches lit up, like a fire dragon, slantly lunging forward.

That momentum and ferocity made the Red Lantern Society martial artists, preparing to retreat, also pause to stare blankly.

"Brothers, the bandits who killed our parents, stole our grain and our yellow flowered daughters are right ahead..."

At the forefront of that fire dragon, riding a horse, was Yang Gong, the Red fragrance disciple of the Red Lantern Society. Now he seemed transformed, covered in blood, his spirit was highly agitated, leading hundreds of strong young men, all carrying torches and weapons, charging over with murderous intent:

"Everyone, let's go together, kill these bandits, seize their horses, and take back their grain... seize back our grain..."

"Deal with them, deal with their women..."

"..."

That group of rolling malevolent energy, influenced by the malevolent aura, their hearts heavy with killing intent and grudge, felt nowhere to be obstructed. Though only four to five hundred in number, they pressed like a dark mass, already giving the impression of overwhelming force.

But they did not expect, that a group would emerge from behind, numbering also in the hundreds, many on horseback, wielding weapons, equally filled with killing intent, glaring with red eyes, roaring to kill.

In an instant, even the fierce and ferocious they, were thrown into disarray.

Suddenly people charged over, the scene turned chaotic, as there was no proper formation, and the leaders could not turn their horses back, having been squeezed into a spot.

"How could this be?"

This band of bandits, already in confusion, many had been first misled by gold, then blinded by malevolent energy, only thinking of burning, plundering, and killing, not anticipating such a fierce battle.

In that moment, the formation had already fallen into chaos.

"There, it's..."

Similarly, as they fell into disorder, the Red lantern-led martial artists were also stunned, heads down, not expecting the chaos to erupt behind. Some, bolder, turned their heads to look back.

"How did they start fighting?"

"..."

"Who, who?"

In the crowd, the Red Lantern Lady was also tense, her red light flickering, wanting to know what happened. Not holding her lantern, she could not clearly discern the situation.

It was the left and right defenders, along with some Year-end guardians and shopkeepers, with keen eyes, who saw the men charging with torches, extremely excited, all were dumbfounded.

The Right Defender rubbed his eyes, hardly laughing, softly said, "Lady, a group of men and bandits are fighting over there, the momentum is formidable. That gang of bandits doesn't seem to be their opponent..."

The Red lantern lady was startled: "Who is that? So formidable?"

The Right Defender was clearly also puzzled, after a moment, he quietly said, "One of your subordinates, a minor red fragrance..."

The red lantern lady: "Eh?"

...

...

"What?"

At the same time, in Yellow dog Within Inside the Yellow Dog Village, the Five Vengeances' Demon, summoning rolling malevolent energy, was about to tear apart the green tent but suddenly felt something amiss. The exaggerated smile on his face abruptly vanished, sharply looking out of the village.

"Are you out now?"

The voice of the Mountain Lord, from behind, coldly echoed, "You have nurtured disaster with the Five Vengeances, how do you expect to harness such malevolent energy for your advantage?"

"Whether you or those in the Plum Blossom Alley, none truly have the courage!"
