Inside the Serene Carriage, Han Lingshi was reading a document on a tablet. The mix of advanced technology and spiritual energy was still kept a secret from the world because this growth would be too fast and many of the powerful people all over the world might come to fight them for the secret and Hao Ren did not wish to lose the advantage.
Han Lingshi mumbled, "It seems to me that the people who surrendered are not very nice."
Ye Lan nodded and replied, "Your analysis is on point. Misty Peak Sect, and Hidden Wisdom Temple have always acted nice on the surface. They spent ages under the suppression of the Royal Family. However, when Young Master conquered the Royal Family, these two forces secretly entered an Alliance."
Han Lingshi asked, "Why have we not taken any action against them?"
Ye Lan sighed and replied, "It is because these people have been very quite. Young Master did not wish to spill blood unless it was necessary. However, if they get a chance they will jump ships and attack us. The reason they have yet to do that is because Young Master killed their ancestors back when he made a move."
Han Lingshi nodded while her eyes were still glued to the documents, and said, "It is good that he did not wish to kill the people too quickly. However, now that we are going there, I am afraid..."
She had yet to finish her words, when the carriage stopped. Yin frowned and looked at Ye Lan, "Sister Lan, you stay here, I am stepping out."
Ye Lan wanted to say something when Yin had already stepped out of the carriage and closed the door behind her. Han Lingshi raised her brow and asked, "What is going on?"
Ye Lan replied, "We have entered the territory of the Cloud Empire an hour ago, but we were not supposed to stop here. We are still a couple of hours away from the Eastern Capital. Someone is making a move that is why Yin stepped out to discuss things with Big Brother Jian."
Han Lingshi asked, "Can we see what is going on out, there?"
Ye Lan nodded and told her to switch to the camera mode on the tab to look outside.
...
Then she turned around and said, "What are you all waiting for? Kill these bugs."
That said, she vanished from her position and the battle began. The place erupted in chaos, but neither Ye Jian, nor Duke Wen made a move. While the former was in a passive protection state, the latter did not have many men with him to afford friendly fire.
He was taking action against Hao Ren because he managed to breakthrough to the Half-Step Dao Integration realm. He had not gotten used to his new found strength at all.
While the two people were standing at the back, Yin led people to a massacre.
Yin was facing a young lady, who was called Princess Whisper, they were fighting with swords, but just when Princess Whisper thought she had a chance, Yin vanished from her spot and appeared behind the young lady, and without giving the enemy a second chance to react, she chopped off the head of the Princess, who did not even get the chance to scream before she died.
Yin yelled, "Whoever gets me the head of fallen big shots, I will reward them with a jar of liquid spirit."
The people from their side heard this, and it was akin to chicken blood for the dogs. The attacks became stronger and the people on the Cloud Empire Rebellion side were forced back into a corner.
Ye Jian said, "Duke Wen, are you sure you will not make any move till your people are dead?"
Duke Wen smiled and said, "Since you are so eager, then I am obliged."
He moved his hand and punched at Ye Jian. The sword grandmaster smiled and slashed with his blade. The impact of the attack from Duke Wen caused Ye Jian to take half a step back, and the carriage to trembled.
...
Inside the carriage, Han Lingshi frowned. Although the defense formation dispersed the shockwave, she noticed that five soldiers have died, and she was angry about this. At this moment, a calm voice which seemed to resonate with their hearts echoed, "Duke Wen, you could have lived happily by hiding your identity. Why did you seek death?"
