King of Hundred Victories Saber

After their secret discussion, news quickly reached Shi Feiyang’s ears.

The atmosphere was as heavy as lead in the Heroic Sakura Association’s camp.

Shi Feiyang stood before the camp tent, his dark outfit fluttering in the wind. As the Bright Jade Technique circulated, ice-blue True Qi emerged in his palm.

Liao Pei of the ”Long Arm Fist” wore an angry expression and struck the wooden pillar beside him, sending splinters flying: ”This is obviously a trap set by the Imperial Court! That old thief Yang Yinglong is full of tricks, surrounded by masters. Going there is fraught with danger!”

Lie Quan of the ”Heaven and Earth Saber” slapped the scabbard, making a loud sound. The dragon patterns on the blade seemed to soar: ”Grand Squad Leader, we, the Heroic Sakura Association, are not pawns to be manipulated. The rebellion has ended — why should we keep serving the Imperial Court?”

Wu Zhong of the ”Iron Palm” crossed his arms and the imprint of his iron palms left deep marks on the clothes before his chest: ”Right, the Imperial Court has always used us and then cast us aside — we must not fall for their tricks again!” Xiao Lingling of the ”Mandarin Duck Saber” clanged her dual blades, producing a crisp sound: ”Humph, those dogs of the court disdain us, yet in times of trouble, they turn to us!”

Miao Menlong the ”Divine Archer” drew his bow and fitted an arrow, aimed straight at the sky. The treasure eagle bow emitted a resonant hum: ”I think we might as well rebel and let those dogs of the court see our might!”

Shan Zhi of the ”Plum Blossom Darts” gently stroked his dart pouch, the twelve silver darts inside trembling slightly: ”Brother Miao is right, we’re free in the Jianghu, why tolerate the Imperial Court’s oppression?” Xie Wen the ”Flying Eagle Detective” felt his eagle perch on his shoulder let out a sharp cry, seemingly echoing the fury of the crowd. He furrowed his brow, saying: ”Grand Squad Leader, this matter requires careful planning. We must not act rashly.”

Shi Xiong, the Little Scholar, gripped the White Rainbow Treasure Sword, his face reddened: ”Afraid of what! With our young master, even in danger, we can make our way through!” Lu Wen Tripod of the ”Celestial Sword” gently petted his sword’s hilt, his gaze unwavering: ”Indeed, our Heroic Sakura Association has never feared strong foes, Yang Yinglong is no exception!”

The Blood Rakshasa smirked faintly: ”Those dogs of the court want to use us to rid them of Yang Yinglong, but we won’t grant them their wish. Yet, we cannot stand by with the crimes Yang Yinglong, that old villain, has committed.”

The crowd argued fiercely with conflicting views.

At this moment, Lan Xiaodie, the Sect Leader of the Five Poison Sect, walked gracefully towards them.

She wore a delicate purple gauze dress, as if a celestial maiden had descended, beautiful as a Celestial Immortal.

Her gaze softly fell on Shi Feiyang, filled with admiration and trust: ”Brother Shi, I know this journey is fraught with danger, but I believe in you. No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, I will fight alongside you.”

Lan Xiaodie spoke softly, her voice like an oriole’s sweet song.

Shi Feiyang turned to look at Lan Xiaodie, a hint of warmth passed through his eyes. He took a deep breath and declared loudly, ”Everyone! Although the Imperial Court plots against us, as long as Yang Yinglong lives, the world shall not find peace. We act for justice for all, not for the orders of the Imperial Court. Though we know there are tigers in the mountains, we still head for the Tiger Mountain, even if ahead lies a sea of knives and fire, I, Shi Feiyang, shall not retreat!”

His voice was strong and powerful, resonating through the camp like a great bell.

The crowd gazed at Shi Feiyang’s resolute face, their previous anger gradually dissipated, replaced by a surge of heroic spirit and ambition. ”Right! Grand Squad Leader is right! Our Heroic Sakura Association is willing to follow the Grand Squad Leader and cut down that old thief Yang Yinglong!”

Liao Pei shouted loudly, his fist clenched, his eyes flickering with unwavering determination, he spoke boldly: ”Absolutely, Grand Squad Leader, we’ll follow your lead!”

Everyone responded in unison, their voices echoing through the sky.
