Whoosh!

Whizzing!

Before Xue Qianren could react, in an instant, the black lightning condensed into a rain of arrows!

It swept towards him in an overwhelming manner!

"not good--"

A piercing roar rang out: "Enemy attack!"

The Xue family's troops immediately rallied in a tense atmosphere, their cries of agony seemingly filled with regret—regret for ever believing Xue Qianren's words...

At this moment, Xue's troops were in utter panic.

Initially, to corroborate Xue Qianren's suspicions, the Xue family's troops were completely unprepared...

Furthermore, the power of the composite crossbow exceeded their expectations!

So even if they start to gather now, it's already a bit too late... In the blink of an eye, more than two hundred people have died!

This can be said to have decided the outcome before they even met!

After all, two hundred men already represented twenty percent of the Xue family's army, yet they died before even encountering the enemy, or even knowing what the enemy looked like...

This shows that if they continue to fight, they will only face death!

This made everyone even more panicked!

A hint of panic flickered in Xue Qianren's eyes. "Was I wrong? I really, really was wrong..."

Could it be that it really wasn't that illegitimate child behind this?!

"No, I did nothing wrong, there must be another reason..."

The moment Xue Qianren had this thought, a black lightning bolt swept down from mid-air!

It went straight for his heart!

A shadow of gloom flashed in Xue Qianren's eyes. This was a weapon he had never seen before, and its speed was far beyond what his sickly body could possibly dodge...

Am I going to die here?!

At that moment, a figure pounced forward!

It's Vice General Cheng!

Deputy General Cheng stood in front of Xue Qianren, using his own body as a human shield, sacrificing his own life to save Xue Qianren's life!

Blood trickled from the corner of Cheng's mouth as he watched others take Xue Qianren away from the danger zone, a smile appearing on his face.

"Third Master, I... I did nothing wrong..."

These were Vice General Cheng's last words before he died.

Upon hearing this, Xue Qianren was momentarily stunned, but then shook his head and said in a deep voice, "No, you're still wrong..."

“It was Su Luo who saw through my plan; he knew all my thoughts… I’m not wrong; you’re the one who’s wrong.”

Xue Qianren's face was deathly pale. He ordered the people around him to take him away first, and then muttered to himself, "I did nothing wrong. I should go back to the family now and get more forces to come and besiege Su Luo..."

"Surround and annihilate Xiaoyun Village!"

"If one thousand people aren't enough, then three thousand will do. If three thousand still aren't enough, then five thousand will do!"

Xue Qianren seemed to have gone mad, "As long as Su Luo is killed, the rebellion in Feiyun City will stop... These rebellions and the people who rebelled were all instigated by Su Luo!"

At this moment, a soldier standing nearby couldn't help but say, "Third Master! Face reality!"

"There really is a mysterious force that has taken over this place. Everything is the work of that mysterious force, and has nothing to do with the illegitimate son of the Marquis of Sinan..."

"That mysterious force has clearly taken control of Wolf Fang Mountain, and its strength exceeds our expectations, which is why they set up an ambush here!"

"Third Master, let's go quickly! Your initial guess has already caused the deaths of many people!"

These words were like a knife through Xue Qianren's heart!

He opened his mouth, turned around and saw only wreckage and severed limbs scattered all over the ground, with more than three hundred dead and injured!

It seemed that everything was just as this elite soldier had said, all because of his confident guess, which led to the deaths of all these people!

For a moment, Xue Qianren's face turned extremely ugly, but he couldn't say a word!

He could only numbly let himself be taken away!

……

Meanwhile, on the Yanhuang Army's side, Han Yan looked at the Xue family's troops, who were completely unprepared, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"They're completely unprepared! How dare they do this?!"

"Even when facing a group of bandits... Xue Baichen and his five hundred men have already died here, how dare he remain completely unprepared?!"

"That's the crux of the matter; they don't even respect me!"

Han Yan's thoughts shifted, and a look of fervent worship reappeared in his eyes. Yes, it was not just a look of worship, but a fervent worship.

He is increasingly convinced of Su Luo's abilities.

Su Luo only spent a little more time thinking, less than half an incense stick's time, and as a result, he figured out all of the enemy commander's thoughts...

"Young master, you were right!"

Han Yan muttered to himself, "However, as the young master also said... I'm actually not bad either, it's just that Xue Qianren..."

"Isn't this a bit too insane?!"

"Using the lives of a thousand people to prove your own conjecture? This shows a complete disregard for the lives of others..."

Immediately afterwards, Han Yan felt that things were normal.

This is the norm for the powerful clans of the Great Xia Dynasty; in their eyes, whether it's ordinary people or their soldiers...

What do their lives matter?!

As long as one's own needs are met, sacrificing subordinates and ordinary people is a perfectly normal thing to do!

At that moment, a private first class from the Yanhuang Army rushed over, his face grim.

"General Han, something terrible has happened!"

The private said, "The enemy commander has escaped!"

"Our pursuit was unsuccessful..."

Upon hearing this, Han Yan's expression changed drastically, and he said, "How can we let them get away?! If they escape and find out what's going on here..."

"What if next time they bring three thousand or five thousand men to cause us trouble?!"

"Now every single one of our troops has to be used in critical moments, and we don't have that much room for defense!"

He gritted his teeth, mobilized a small team of more than thirty people, and prepared to personally pursue Xue Qianren!

At that moment, he suddenly realized that Su Luo was gone!

"Young master, where have you been?"

Han Yan immediately realized, "Oh no, we have to set off quickly... lest the young master be put in danger!"

……

At that moment, Xue Qianren, escorted by more than a hundred people, managed to evacuate in time.

His eyes were still somewhat dazed, and he kept muttering, "Wrong, wrong..."

"Was I really wrong?!"

Before he died, Vice General Cheng said he was wrong.

The elite soldier from the Xue family beside him also said he was wrong... But Xue Qianren really didn't think he was wrong!

He felt even more strongly that the opponent was too strong!

The private, standing beside him, listened to his murmurs, his face growing even uglier!

So many people have already died, why won't Xue Qianren admit his defeat?!

Little did he know that in Xue Qianren's eyes... his own right and wrong were far more important than the lives of these soldiers!
