Chapter 514: Chapter 180: Daring the Huangguoshu Falls: Yili Annihilates the Invaders in the Ice Cave, Shi Feiyang Strikes Fear into the Enemy (Part 5)

In this late spring season, Flying Tiger Pass was bathed in dappled sunlight, with golden spots of light falling through the gaps in the leaves.

The city walls of Flying Tiger Pass appeared even more grand and majestic under the sunlight, with each brick and stone narrating past glories and honors.

Shi Feiyang returned to Flying Tiger Pass, travel-worn, and just as he stepped through the main gate of the temporary headquarters of the Heroic Sakura Association, he was stopped by Yili.

Yili’s eyes reddened, tears welling up, filled with such grievance and sorrow that she could hardly control herself.

Her gaze was full of complex emotions, harboring both longing for Shi Feiyang and resentment towards him, as well as confusion and uncertainty about their relationship. She stepped forward, staring directly at Shi Feiyang, her voice trembling slightly as she questioned: ”Where have you been? You’ve been gone for so long, I yearned for your return, but the wait was bitter! And why did you marry three wives? Do you remember saying you would only be good to me in your lifetime? Were those words all lies?”

Her eyes bore both anger and sadness, but more so the pain after betrayal.

Shi Feiyang was slightly taken aback, looking at the emotionally charged Yili in front of him, his heart filled with guilt.

He opened his mouth but didn’t know where to start.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, and then slowly said: ”Yili, I know I’ve hurt you, but there’s simply too much helplessness in all this. In the Jianghu, one is not entirely free to act.”

He paused, his gaze looking into the distance, recalling those difficult times, ”Every wife I have married is not an ordinary woman; each of them is an elite who helps the Imperial Court quell rebellions. In this turbulent Jianghu and chaotic times, we fought side by side, confronted rebellions together, and faced life and death. How could I neglect them for personal romantic feelings? They are not just my wives, but comrades-in-arms through this difficult journey.”

Shi Feiyang continued: ”I admit, I kept things from you, but it was not out of malice. Everything I did was to protect our shared home, so that we can survive these chaotic times. I need your understanding and your support.”

His words carried deep helplessness and determination, hoping that Yili would understand his dilemma and accept this reality.

Listening to Shi Feiyang’s explanation, Yili could no longer hold back her tears, which rolled down uncontrollably, as she sobbed and questioned: ”And what about me? I came all this way to find you, with you in my heart all the way. Aren’t my feelings important at all? I don’t care how outstanding they are, how important they are, I just want the unique love you once promised me!”

Her voice was full of grievance and confusion, tears falling like strings of broken pearls, her shoulders slightly trembling, crying bitterly, filled with a deep yearning and stubbornness for their love.

Shi Feiyang took a step forward, wanting to reach out to comfort Yili, but stopped midway.

His gaze was full of affection, and he said: ”Yili, how could I not know or cherish your feelings? But the Jianghu is too complex, and the responsibilities are heavy. But please believe, my feelings for you have never changed.”

His voice was sincere and firm, trying to make Yili understand his internal struggles and helplessness.

Yili lifted her head, her tearful eyes looking at Shi Feiyang, her heart wandering in pain and entanglement.

She loved this man before her, but his world seemed to contain too many responsibilities and concerns, leaving her feeling confused and helpless.

At that moment, ”Flying Eagle Detective” Xie Wen rushed over, urgently reporting to Shi Feiyang: ”Grand Squad Leader, there is some suspicious activity of Japanese pirates at the cold pond of Huangguoshu Waterfall, it looks like they are planning something bad.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Feiyang furrowed his brows tightly, his gaze sharp and intense, immediately leading ”Iron Palm” Wu Zhong, ”Divine Archer” Miao Menlong, ”Plum Blossom Dart” Shan Zhi, ”Iron Flute Scholar” Xiang Kun, ”Water Dragon” Jin Liufu, and the most beautiful woman in the Martial Arts world, Yili, to investigate.

Under Xie Wen’s guidance, the group headed towards the waterfall’s cold pond.

They all understood that this journey could be filled with unknown dangers, but for the peace of the Jianghu, to help the Imperial Court swiftly quell the rebellions, ending the suffering of the people immersed in deep tribulations, they were determined to proceed without hesitation.

From afar, Huangguoshu Waterfall looked like a majestic and magnificent painting, rushing down from the mountain peak.

The massive flow of water, like a hanging Milky Way, surged down from the top of the cliff into the deep pool, crashing out layer upon layer of white water sprays, the deafening roar drowning all other sounds.

Around the waterfall, water vapor was everywhere, forming brilliant rainbows under the refraction of sunlight, dreamlike and incredibly stunning.

However, hidden behind this beautiful scene was an unknown danger.

Behind the waterfall was a mysterious ice cave. The cold inside was intense, the ice spikes like forests, each one flashing a cold light, like sharp blades silently telling of the dangers here.

The Japanese pirates were extremely cunning, performing a bizarre ”Snow Concealment Technique,” hiding among the ice spikes, using the concealment and cold of the ice cave to evade everyone’s pursuit. They were like venomous snakes hiding in the darkness, ready to strike with a lethal blow at any moment.

As Shi Feiyang and the others approached the waterfall, a chilling cold struck them, causing everyone to shiver involuntarily.

”Iron Palm” Wu Zhong wore a solemn expression, immediately channeling the ”Six Harmonies True Scripture” inner power, his entire aura surged vigorously, his palms emitting a faint golden glow. That glow, like the first light of dawn, added a touch of awe to him, ever ready to respond to sudden situations.
