Chapter 568: Ning Wuwo Departs
The Slum.
The headquarters of the Cloudy Sky Gang had been reduced to rubble amidst the rising smoke and flames. When Ye Yu arrived with his men, he saw only scattered corpses and encountered no significant resistance.
“The Grand Marshal led his forces toward the eastern city gates at B16, B17, and B18,” reported a rebel commander who was combing the battlefield for survivors.
The Cloudy Sky Gang and the Martial Alliance had inflicted massive losses on the rebel forces during the battles to defend the city. Now that the city had fallen, the rebel Grand Marshal, Xie Qingzhi, had personally led a campaign to completely eradicate these two factions. He had wasted no time in deploying his elite forces to the slum headquarters.
However, they encountered only minor resistance. Most of the members of the two factions had already evacuated. Word was they intended to scatter into the wilderness outside the city.
Xie Qingzhi himself led the pursuit. This was within Ye Yu’s expectations.
“Follow them,” Ye Yu ordered, taking his five hundred-strong force toward the eastern end of the city.
Moments later, the sound of fierce fighting and explosions came from ahead.
We’ve caught up.
Ye Yu’s heart filled with excitement. He quickly led his men toward the commotion. Ahead, a fierce battle was unfolding near the city’s B17 gate.
About thirty martial arts experts from Liuhe Base City, led by an elderly man with white hair, were holding the gate. They were successfully holding the rebel forces back, preventing them from exiting the city to continue their pursuit.
