The group of men in black were fully prepared and immediately began their operation upon hearing Chen Pi's order.

Figures darted across the rooftops like ghosts, their footsteps making a barely audible creak on the blue tiles.

Suddenly, a night wind arose, and several even faster black shadows darted out from the darkness. In a flash of cold light, sharp blades, flying from their hands, pierced straight towards the enemy with a whooshing sound.

"Uh!"

A short cry of pain was abruptly cut off, as if it had been muffled, and the black-clad man who had been stabbed first stiffened.

It fell straight down from the roof like a falling leaf, hitting the ground with a dull thud.

Immediately afterwards, a second and a third dark figure fell one after another, the muffled thuds echoing in the air, startling even the night insects in the alleyway into silence.

"It's an ambush!" The Qinglian Sect members reacted extremely quickly, instantly drawing their swords, the crisp sound of blades clashing piercing the night sky.

The rooftops, walls, and ground instantly erupted into a chaotic melee, with sparks from clashing steel blades flickering in the shadows.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the outcome was decided. The few Earth-rank experts from the Green Lotus Sect were forced to retreat steadily under the enemy's fierce siege.

His moves became increasingly chaotic, and he was ambushed. He already had many wounds on his body, and finally could not hold on any longer. Blood gushed from his throat, and he slowly collapsed into a pool of blood, never to make a sound again.

Chen Pi stood atop the broken wall, his gaze as sharp as a hawk's as he locked onto the last man in black who had fallen.

His low, cold voice carried an undeniable authority: "Hurry up, don't let them get away!"

"Yes!"

The remaining men in black responded in unison, their figures transforming into several black streaks as they sped off in one direction, gleaming with a chilling light under the moonlight.

Upon receiving the news, Yi Chen's expression suddenly turned cold.

"The Green Lotus Sect truly leaves no room for compromise!"

Shi Yue dragged his leg and said solemnly, "Sect Master, you and the young master should leave first!"

We'll stay behind to cover the retreat..."

Since he was already seriously injured and unable to escape, leaving with him would only be a burden.

In September, he was completely unable to move.

Yi Chen immediately said coldly, "Everyone, perk up. Yi Yue, you will take Ye Lin Shi Yue Liu Xing and escort the disciples of the pavilion to leave first."

Qin Su, go and gather the remaining brothers and sisters, and we'll deal with these people together right now!

"Avenge our brothers who died in the branch...!"

Shi Yue immediately panicked, "Sect Master... I can stay, you and the young master should evacuate...!"

Meteor suddenly spoke up, "You stay... how can you stay when your legs are almost useless... you want me to stay."

"Lord, let me stay. Shiyue, you and the others retreat."

Shi Yue suddenly stood up straight, gritted her teeth, and looked at the Pavilion Master in a trembling voice.

He knew this was extremely dangerous; the Green Lotus Sect was incredibly cruel, and he absolutely could not let the Sect Master take such a risk.

Seeing that he was enduring the pain and was still worried about him, Yi Chen felt a pang of pain in his heart.

He coldly looked at everyone and said, "Enough! I am the sect leader, and my words are orders!"

The others wanted to say something more, but were silenced instantly by a sharp look from Yi Chen!

And so, the people of the Dark Night Pavilion were divided into two groups.

Some people evacuated urgently, while others stood ready for battle.

Xiaoye was still asleep when Yiyue carried her away!

Fifteen minutes later, scattered moonlight shone on the rooftops with their continuous blue tiles.

Chen Pi led the group closer, then suddenly stopped.

Looking ahead, Yi Chen, dressed in black, stood on the eaves. The night wind whipped his clothes, making them flutter like the wings of an ink butterfly, yet it did not disturb his upright and pine-like figure.

Behind them, Qin Su and the others gripped their sharp blades tightly, ready for battle.

Yi Chen lowered his eyes and glanced at the Qinglian Cult members opposite him. Their robes, embroidered with blue lotus flowers, shimmered faintly in the moonlight.

Chen Pi said coldly, "Hmph, everyone in the martial arts world says that Dark Night has a deep foundation."

"Your methods are skillful, and our leader values ​​them highly. If you are willing to submit to our Green Lotus Sect and serve as our master, we will spare your lives."

If the troublesome Dark Night Pavilion isn't dealt with soon, His Highness will be extremely angry.

This needs to be resolved as soon as possible, but the Dark Night Pavilion is not like a sect.

They make a living by murder and robbery, and their members include many highly skilled martial artists.

In just two months, they have lost nearly two thousand people...

These men are almost capable of taking over a county town, while they have only dealt with a few small fry from a branch office.

We can't delay any longer...

Upon hearing his words, Yi Chen sneered, "Hmph, do you really believe what you're saying?"

He must have said similar things to other sects as well.

"Which of those sects survived?"

Most of the forces in the martial arts world were wiped out by the Qinglian Sect, leaving no survivors.

They are even more ruthless than those wicked and crooked people.

Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe these words if I said them now.

The calm in Yi Chen's eyes shattered suddenly, leaving behind a chilling coldness that seemed to freeze everything.

When Chen Pi saw that his scheme had been exposed, he stopped trying to hide it.

"Hmph, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! Since you want to follow in their footsteps, then so be it..."

There's no point in saying anything more, so let's just kill them all.

Tomorrow, the entire Minzhou Prefecture will be in the hands of their Dongsang Kingdom.

He then waved his hand, and a group of men in black swarmed forward.

Yi Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, his light figure weaving back and forth among the group of men in black.

The sharp blade in her hand danced through the crowd like a butterfly flitting among flowers.

Every time his figure fell, three or five men in black would fall down.

Seeing this, Chen Pi jumped up and joined in.

He swung his long sword straight at Yi Chen, the sharp blade about to strike Yi Chen's shoulder.

He skillfully dodged to the side, and instantly changed the direction of the longsword in his hand.

The sword tip pierced towards Chen Pi's face, startling him so much that he retreated repeatedly.

Chen Pi stopped when he reached the last tile of the roof.

He twisted his body with all his might and raised his long sword to parry.

The massive collision sent blinding sparks flying from the blades.

Yi Chen paid no attention; the image had already fully formed in his mind.

Han Zixuan used the same sword technique she had previously employed to launch a full-scale attack on Chen Pi.

Every move he made was filled with murderous intent, and Chen Pi was finding it difficult to defend himself.

Before long, he was covered in wounds, and even with all his strength, he could not dodge the all-pervasive sword strikes.

Terrified, they could only retreat step by step. The Qinglian Sect members witnessed Chen Pi's gradual defeat.

Then three or five people attacked Yi Chen at the same time, which gave Chen Pi a chance to catch his breath.

As he began to observe Yi Chen's strange and unpredictable swordsmanship, he broke out in a cold sweat.

However, Yi Chen had no chance to rest with him. He could naturally tell that Chen Pi must be the leader of these people.

He quickly dealt with the few people who were entangled around him, and once again pointed his sword in his direction…

After a full-scale retreat, Yiyue and Shiyue stopped in a very secluded place.

After catching his breath, Yiyue frowned and looked in the direction of Fengyang County, his heart filled with uncontrollable worry.

"Sect Master... are they in danger...?"

Meteor caught his breath and said urgently, "We're already outside the boundaries of Fengyang County, and they can't catch up with us."

Thirty miles ahead is the location of the city's garrison. After you take the young master inside, head towards the capital!

I will return to fight alongside the Pavilion Master!
