Rumble!

The sound of horse hooves resounded through the wilderness.

More than a thousand cavalry in light armor were galloping over from the direction of Rising Sun City. In front of them were 300 cavalry holding 12-foot-long lances, and behind them were cavalry armed with bows, crossbows, sabers, and shields.

Most of the people in White Millet Town were Jianghu people from all over the country. Their martial arts foundations were not bad. But the army also practiced martial arts. Moreover, most of the people who taught them martial arts were famous teachers from Jianghu sects. Their martial arts inheritances were more orthodox than most Jianghu small fries.

Ordinary soldiers might not be a match for Jianghu people in a one-on-one battle. But with a thousand soldiers wearing armor and holding powerful bows and crossbows, Jianghu people might die before they could reach the soldiers.

For this reason, the moment the soldiers appeared, White Millet Town exploded. Countless Jianghu martial artists displayed their wondrous skills and began to escape in all directions.

But the disciples of the Grasping Moon Tower weren’t aware of the situation. They didn’t dare to leave without permission, nor did they dare to attack the approaching army. They could only hide their weapons and stand outside the town as if they were facing a formidable enemy, waiting for orders.

Ye Jingtang brought Luo Ning out of Grasping Moon Alley. After confirming that they were not being followed, they quickly arrived at another alley.

Third Lady realized that something was wrong and was already leading their horses into the alley to meet them. When she saw the two of them return, she hurriedly asked, “Why are soldiers here?”

After Ye Jingtang briefly explained the situation, he turned his horse around and led Pei Xiangjun and Luo Ning toward the northwest mountain range…

The moonlight was like frost, and the forest in the mountains was full of ghosts.

It was difficult for horses to enter the rugged mountain path, and the soldiers wearing armor and holding lances couldn’t run fast. For this reason, the Jianghu people who had run out of White Millet Town all fled into the mountain at the same time.

Among them, Bai Siming and the others ran the fastest.

In the past two days, after something happened to the Prince of Wu, Huang Yulong knew that he might have to run away. He had already asked the third-in-command of the Grasping Moon Tower to settle his family elsewhere. The assets that he could take away had also been transferred. Just now, when the soldiers arrived, he ran away cleanly.

As for the hundreds of disciples in town, they were all outer sect disciples who had paid silver to learn martial arts. They were placed in White Millet Town to support the scene so that the officials wouldn’t get suspicious in advance. Now that the soldiers were attacking, the smart ones knew to leave and meet again in Jianghu. Those who didn’t know how to run could only be said to be unsuitable for Jianghu.

After rushing out of White Millet Town, Huang Yulong turned around and saw that the vicinity of Grasping Moon Alley was full of flames. The disciples were already fighting with the soldiers, and there was no large group of people chasing after them. Only then did he have time to catch his breath. “Sir Bai, that woman just now was definitely the Moon Goddess. 1 won’t be mistaken about this. Could it be that the Pacifying Heaven Cult has been secretly recruited?”

Xiao Shichen was walking beside him with a long weapon wrapped in black cloth and shook his head. “Impossible. The Pacifying Heaven Cult is the overlord of Jianghu and is famous for being stubborn. In the past, when they ran out of supplies and food, they didn’t accept amnesty and recruitment. Now that they’re so powerful, what would the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master surrender without fighting?”

Bai Siming was walking in front with a dark expression. He felt that Xiao Shichen’s opinion was right. There wasn’t a problem with the Pacifying Heaven Cult.

But the Prince of Wu was at a dead end. If he trusted anyone, he would die without a burial place.

Bai Siming thought about it and felt that it was a little risky to return to the Hidden Dragon Cave directly. He said, “I don’t know how the news was leaked, but we’ve already been discovered by the government. I don’t dare to return to His Highness for the time being. We’ll go to the Iron River Manor to recruit people first. If it doesn’t work, we’ll break through and escape from Wu Province..”
