Chapter 536 - 515 First Update
"Marquis, Marquis, something terrible has happened! People from the Crown Prince’s faction suddenly appeared in the city and intercepted our men in several places," the guard reported hastily.
Old Master Wen Kang had anticipated this. Zheng Congyuan wouldn’t be without his own people, and their appearance at this time was actually to his advantage.
"How many of them are there?" Old Master Wen Kang instantly disregarded the situation outside the city and immediately inquired.
"We don’t know, those people appeared out of nowhere, attacked, and then retreated, their movements elusive." The guard quickly explained, leaving Old Master Wen Kang no choice but to give a few instructive words to Wen Qun before promptly leading his men back to the city.
However, as he and a group of people rushed into the city, they only saw their own men running towards them from the front, disheveled and in disarray. Old Master Wen Kang hadn’t even spoken when those people, on seeing their own, immediately shouted loudly.
"Run, run, there’s an ambush!" Old Master Wen Kang’s men were still trying to process the situation when suddenly there was a loud explosion from behind. Everyone was taken aback, unprepared, as groups of attackers emerged from all sides, launching a fierce assault on them.
"There’s an ambush, an ambush—" Shouts broke out everywhere as the attackers, though not numerous—just over a few dozen—swiftly charged into Old Master Wen Kang’s ranks. Their movements were nimble, rapidly splitting apart the entire formation.
The Loyal Warriors of Wen Family immediately took control of the situation from a defensive position, protecting Old Master Wen Kang in their midst, and engaged in a fierce battle with the assailants, swords clashing and gleaming coldly. Old Master Wen Kang’s expression became stern as he watched the chaos unfold, quickly realizing the true meaning of the guard’s earlier report.
"Who are you?" Old Master Wen Kang bellowed from atop his horse. There were no signs of affiliation with the Crown Prince Faction, even the attire was a mess, but their skills were nonetheless formidable, holding their ground impressively against the Loyal Warriors of Wen Family.
