Chapter 1722: Chapter 1720: War

”You sure are lucky, it seems we’ve all gained quite a bit this time!”

Xiao Yifeng said with a smile.

”We’ve been out here for so many days, it’s about time we head back. Miss Yuan, would you like to return with us?”

Xiao Yifeng looked at Yuan Zhimo and said.

”No, I need to go home first to handle some things. Once I’ve dealt with them, I’ll come to Wind Cloud City to find you!”

Yuan Zhimo replied.

”Alright!”

Xiao Yifeng nodded.

Right after, Xiao Yifeng and Yuan Zhimo, along with the others, left the mountains and went their separate ways. However, Yuan Zhimo did leave a Flying Spirit Beast for Xiao Yifeng.

Riding the Flying Spirit Beast, Xiao Yifeng headed towards Wind Cloud City.

But after traveling for just a few double hours, Xiao Yifeng heard sounds of rumbling and shouts of battle ahead. His expression turned to shock when he arrived at the location.

In his view was a enormous city, but its outskirts were filled dense with soldiers—five to six thousand of them dressed in black armor, holding black swords in their right hands, and carrying black shields in their left.

This group radiated an imposing aura; their spirits high and exuding a fervent battle spirit, they were at the moment relentlessly attacking this city.

The city was also filled with soldiers, struggling to defend against the siege. The battle was intensely fierce, but the defending soldiers were clearly weaker, on the brink of defeat, with heavy casualties.

”What’s going on? Why is there a war?”

Xiao Yifeng appeared bewildered at the scene before him, not understanding the situation. This place should belong to the territory of the Wind Cloud Kingdom, so why had a war suddenly erupted?

Moreover, these besieging soldiers were unusual, wearing armor crafted from special materials, and were evidently trained specialists, exhibiting Body Tempering and Ningxuan Realm abilities, with many also possessing Gathering Elixir and Opening Spirit Realm prowess.

”Listen up inside, open the gates and surrender immediately, or once the Black Armored Army breaches the city, we’ll annihilate you without a trace!”

At this moment, among the attacking soldiers, a strong individual from the Third Layer of Dao Realm shouted towards the people on the city walls.

”Humph, your Black Stone Kingdom is too audacious! Once reinforcements arrive from Wind Cloud Kingdom, you won’t stand a chance!”

An infuriated First Layer expert from the city wall retorted.

”Looks like I’ll have to handle this personally!”

This Third Layer expert scoffed coldly, leapt up, and flew onto the city wall, swinging his large blade directly at the First Layer expert who had just spoken.

With a bang, the First Layer expert retreated repeatedly, spitting a mouthful of blood.

”Foolish people, your Wind Cloud Kingdom will soon fall; you will all become slaves to my Black Stone Kingdom!”

The Third Layer expert shouted harshly, swinging his black sword again at his opponent. But suddenly, a young man appeared before him, effortlessly pinching the black sword between his fingers, halting its advance.

This young man was Xiao Yifeng, leaving both the Third Layer expert and the city defenders dumbfounded at his sudden appearance.

”Who are you?”

The Third Layer expert asked angrily, trying to retrieve his sword in vain, as Xiao Yifeng’s fingers gripped it like a vise.

”Who I am is of no business to you. First, tell me, where are you from? What’s going on here?”

Xiao Yifeng inquired.

”I am the eighth captain under the Ninth Commander of the Black Armored Army of Black Stone Kingdom, ordered to conquer this city. I warn you, this has nothing to do with you; you’d best retreat quickly, or the Black Armored Army will not forgive you!”

The Third Layer expert declared.

”Black Stone Kingdom?”

Xiao Yifeng’s eyes narrowed, revealing a strange glint.

Xiao Yifeng knew of the Black Stone Kingdom, one of the Three Great Southern Wild Kingdoms, but why had it suddenly attacked the Wind Cloud Kingdom?

”Kid, didn’t you understand my words? Do you really want to provoke the Black Armored Army?”

The Third Layer expert’s face showed anger as Xiao Yifeng remained silent.

”The Black Armored Army? Are they so formidable?”

Xiao Yifeng sneered, abruptly releasing his fingers, then swiftly seized the expert’s throat, lifting him up.

Everyone present was shocked, especially the Third Layer expert whose face changed dramatically, eyes filled with terror at Xiao Yifeng.

”Don’t bluff in front of me; to me, you’re nothing!”

Xiao Yifeng scoffed, tossing the man out of the city, sending him falling to the ground.

His power seemed totally restrained, unable to be mobilized; he crashed to the ground, vomiting blood, severely injured.

Witnessing this scene, the Black Armored Army soldiers were stunned, eyes reflecting disbelief, then rushed to the captain, aiding the Third Layer man.

”Retreat, retreat!”

The man gasped weakly, eyes marked with fear, as the Black Armored Army withdrawn swiftly.

Seeing the Black Armored Army retreat, the city soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, faces alight with excitement.

”Many thanks to you, young hero, for your assistance. We are eternally grateful!”

The previously speaking First Layer man bowed to Xiao Yifeng, as did the other soldiers in gratitude.

”Enough, I don’t want to hear nonsense. Tell me, what is happening here?”

Xiao Yifeng stated coldly.

The man then narrated the events of recent days, and Xiao Yifeng learned that Black Stone Kingdom had forged an incredibly powerful Black Armored Army, already seizing a fifth of Wind Cloud Kingdom’s city territory and land.

”Is the Black Armored Army really so formidable? Dispatching a few Divine Soul experts should wipe them out!”

Xiao Yifeng expressed his confusion.

”Young hero may not know; among the Ten Great Ancient Kingdoms, there’s an unwritten rule: except when a kingdom’s downfall is imminent, battles between kingdom armies cannot involve experts above the Hollow Void Realm.

”For should experts above the Hollow Void Realm partake in battle, it poses tremendous risk to both kingdom’s soldiers, so such battles must not involve Divine Soul experts.”

The First Layer man explained.
