Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 85: Chapter 81: Slaying the Noble Family Lackey, Gaining a Seventh-Grade Opportunity_5

It took just three days,

for another shocking news to arrive: the Red Eyebrow Army launched another attack on Yunze City.

This time, the might of their attack was even greater, as they assembled an army of hundreds of thousands.

All the soldiers of Yunze City cowered inside the city, not daring to venture out to fight the Red Eyebrow Army.

This left the residents of Yunze City feeling deeply shocked and fearful.

”Crazy, crazy, the Red Eyebrow Army has revived and gathered hundreds of thousands of troops.”

”Didn’t the last battle completely scatter the Red Eyebrow Army? Why are there more soldiers now?”

”Heh, you also know how corrupt the Government is, taxing year after year, the people are overwhelmed. Now, there’s no shortage of desperate people.”

”Spot on. You have no idea what the situation outside is like. Villages are devastated one by one, common people have no way to survive. Just as the Red Eyebrow Army called out for help, offer a meal, people joined without hesitation.”

”That’s the reality. It’s not just us in Yunze Prefecture; the Great Wei Thirteen Prefectures are ablaze with warfires. That’s why the Court is powerless, unable to send any aid, leaving each to fight on their own.”

”Heh, corrupt Government, people in distress, if it were me, I would join the rebellion too.”

”Isn’t it so? Despite the circumstances, the Money Gang still exploits us. I can’t wait for the Red Eyebrow Army to enter Yunze City and wipe out everyone in the Money Gang.”

”Though that’s what you’re saying, no one knows if the Red Eyebrow Army is good. If they are a bunch of bandits, our fate wouldn’t be any better.”

The people argued back and forth.

Some applauded, believing the Red Eyebrow Army to be a Righteous Army, charging into Yunze City to overthrow the decaying Court, securing a lifeline for the civilians. Some even wanted to join the Red Eyebrow Army.

After all these years, they’ve been oppressed by the Government and gangs, leaving no way to live.

As the saying goes, barefoot are fearless against shoed ones.

Being pushed to this extent, they may as well fight the Government.

At least there would be a way out.

Others were deeply concerned, convinced that neither the Government nor the Red Eyebrow Army are good people.

It’s merely a power struggle.

Even if the Red Eyebrow Army overthrows the Court, it would only be a change of dynasty, the lives of ordinary people remain as before.

Nowhere close to being better.

In fact, amidst the chaos, they might not even survive.

But no matter what they think, the outbreak of war is beyond their control.

Common people can only go with the flow.

”No wonder the Lu Family has been so quiet lately.”

”Never openly search for the culprit.”

”Is it because they know the Red Eyebrow Army plans to attack Yunze City?”

”Facing such a disaster, the Lu Family probably can’t spare the energy to deal with such trivial matters.”

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin, figuring out why the Lu Family has been acting so unusually during this period. In normal times, the Lu Family would have been loud in searching for the culprit.

Even ordinary passersby couldn’t escape the Lu Family’s retaliation.

But now, with the Red Eyebrow Army attacking, the Lu Family is too busy to handle the death of a wastrel.

Swish!

Thinking about this, after gathering information, Jiang Fan quickly returned home.

......

”Husband, the Red Eyebrow Army attacked again, what shall we do now?”

Su Weiwei also knew the news, instantly feeling deeply worried.

She didn’t expect the war to come so quickly.

Originally thought the peaceful days would last a little longer.

Only to say the times were indeed too chaotic.

No chance for ordinary people to live peacefully.

Luckily, her husband is very capable, otherwise, she might have perished in the turmoil.

”Don’t worry.”

”Not to mention if the Red Eyebrow Army can break in.”

”Even if they do break in, we won’t be affected.”

Jiang Fan reassured.

After all, he is now a Martial Artist in the Refining Organ Realm, his strength compared to before is countless times stronger.

Even facing hundreds of people, he could easily break through the siege.

Moreover, the main enemies of the Red Eyebrow Army are actually the Noble Families of Yunze City, not ordinary civilians.

The real threat to civilians is those unruly soldiers of the Red Eyebrow Army.

In other words, even if the Red Eyebrow Army conquers Yunze City, handling those soldiers would be enough.

That’s why he feels the danger of staying in Yunze City isn’t great.

The biggest worry is if Yunze City cannot fight back, they’ll begin drafting locals.

Making Yunze City’s residents die fighting, guarding the city for them.

And residents could hardly refuse.

”Mm.”

Hearing this, Su Weiwei nodded, feeling much relieved.

After all, she knows her husband has obtained Immortal Family heritage, considered half an Immortal.

Facing future dangers won’t be much of a problem.

Moreover, they aren’t lacking food now, no need to worry about food shortages in Yunze City.

”Maybe we need to find a secret place to hide temporarily.”

”That way, neither the Government of Yunze City nor the Red Eyebrow Army can find us.”

”And we can stay hidden until the war ends completely.”

”Right now, I have plenty of food, no need to contact the outside world.”

Jiang Fan squinted, starting to think about his next retreat plan.
