Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 561: Chapter 242: Long Mountain Causes Trouble, You Arrived Too Late (Part 2)

”Minister Xia Chuan of Great Xia, greets the young lord!”

Li Xuanling, along with four others, including Li Xuandu who had just intercepted Xia Chuan, all six Cold Resistance Level members present at Long Mountain, focused their gaze on Xia Chuan, with evident scrutiny on their faces.

Upon closer inspection, one would notice that, except for Li Xuanling, the other five had a subtle hint of shock and even dread deep within their eyes.

The person in charge of Great Xia seemed excessively young.

Young, yet possessing significant strength.

The one who felt this the most keenly was naturally Li Xuandu, who had just blocked Xia Chuan’s blade; he put away the Snake Spear, glanced at Wu Xiong behind him, and signaled him with an eye gesture.

Wu Xiong, who had narrowly escaped death, had a face full of gratitude, and upon receiving the signal, he immediately moved behind Li Xuanling and the other four.

”Young lord, it’s likely that Wu Xiong has been controlled by a ghostly creature, or he himself is transformed into one; Long Mountain must not harbor him.”

.......

With these words, the entire place fell silent for more than ten breaths.

Xia Chuan lifted his head, noticing the slightly cunning looks in the eyes of the people from Long Mountain, and after pondering for a moment, he immediately understood what they were thinking.

”Xia Chuan, your Great Xia invaded Longyou, exterminated my Wushuang [camp], killed so many in my camp, and now you even spew lies, falsely accuse me of being a ghostly creature, you are simply too outrageous!”

Standing behind Li Xuanling, Wu Xiong suddenly spoke with indignation, then knelt directly in front of Li Xuanling and the others, lamenting:

”Wu Xiong was previously bewitched and conspired with Hou Hu to betray the alliance. My Wushuang camp has ended up in such a state, which is self-inflicted; whatever punishment Long Mountain imposes, Wu Xiong will accept, but what Great Xia did last night at Yang Lu, Wu Xiong must expose...”

As he heard this, Xia Chuan’s expression turned peculiar, and he directly interrupted Wu Xiong, saying in a deep voice, ”I’m not making baseless claims, young lord. You can look at his back and neck; his back just received a slash from me, and his neck was pierced by my arrow. A normal person could not survive, but he...”

Before Xia Chuan could finish speaking, his face changed.

Because Wu Xiong stood up directly, walked to the front of the Long Mountain crowd, and revealed his back and neck.

His back indeed had a knife wound, but it was not deep;

The back of the neck indeed had an opening, clearly a result of an arrow wound, yet the wound was not deep, just visibly two or three centimeters.

How long had it been, and it’s nearly healed already?

Peng Bo, Zhu Yuan, Hong Guang, the three who had personally seen how severe Wu Xiong’s injuries were just moments ago, were filled with shock.

The three even couldn’t help but step forward to continue accusing.

But before the three could speak, they were stopped by Xia Chuan.

”Young lord, last night Han Jiuli and I held guard at Yang Lu, the secondary lord led the assault, Longyou’s army was too fierce, we were simply no match. Amidst the bloody battle between the two sides, Great Xia suddenly emerged halfway. In panic, I escaped, the secondary lord’s outcome is unknown, either killed by Great Xia or captured by them.”

Whoosh...

After Wu Xiong said these words, Li Xuanling and the other six raised their heads in unison, glaring at Xia Chuan and his group of five with anger.

Moreover, they even adjusted their positions, as if to encircle Xia Chuan and his five.

What exactly happened at Yang Lu?

Xia Chuan’s mind now was solely occupied by this question.

The moment Wu Xiong exposed his injuries, Xia Chuan realized that whatever he said next would be futile.

The people of Long Mountain would never believe him.

Great Xia captured Wushuang, surely leaving Long Mountain with discomfort.

Their act of saving Wu Xiong was obviously meant to give Great Xia trouble.

If he could expose Wu Xiong’s true identity as a ghostly creature, there might still be a chance for reversal, but alas, this ghostly creature not only possesses incredible healing abilities but also exhibits extreme cunning.

”Young lord, I won’t say anything extra. Given my current situation, you probably won’t believe anything I say now. I have a piece of evidence here; you only need to apply it to Wu Xiong to understand!”

Xia Chuan directly took out a piece of Solidified Fire Oil from his breast pocket and tossed it towards Li Xuanling’s direction.

”Nonsense, quickly hand over my second brother!”

Whoosh...

Li Xuanyan actually started taking action.

”Run!”

The Longsword suddenly struck, Xia Chuan’s gaze flickered, the Black Blade blocked the blow, and without attempting further defense, he led Qiu Peng, Hong Guang, and the other four to escape directly.

Just as they ran, it seemed a bit late.

Li Xuanling, Li Xuandu, along with the other four, had already moved into position earlier, encircling the group of five, and as Li Xuanyan took action, the six almost moved in synchrony.

Swish...

Li Xuanling, the strongest, didn’t go after Xia Chuan but targeted Zhu Yuan, the weakest among them; her actions were swift as lightning, stabbing Zhu Yuan’s shoulder with one sword, and following up with a sudden slash towards his neck.

Clang...

Just as the sword edge was about to strike, Xia Chuan, who had run far out, unexpectedly returned, the Black Blade horizontally blocking, pulling Zhu Yuan back with leverage, retreating several dozen meters backward.

Earlier, when Li Xuandu saved Wu Xiong from the blade, Xia Chuan had already sensed his strength exceeded his own. Now, after blocking Li Xuanling’s sword, he realized this woman’s power was even more terrifying than Li Xuandu’s, his face changed dramatically, and he shouted to those behind:

”Quickly blow the Bone Whistle for reinforcements!”

Peng Bo, recently joined and still unclear, but Zhu Yuan, Hong Guang, and Qiu Peng immediately took out their Bone Whistles and, while dealing with Li Xuanyan and others, blew relentlessly.

Beep... beep... beep... beep... beep...
