Chapter 128: Those who support me will never know grief
In the courtyard of the West Lake Estate of Hangzhou City, Murong Yuan, Wang Yuluo, and Lu Yi met again.
“I heard that Heavenly Sword is going to attack the Eagle Mountain bandits,” Yuan said as he opened his fan. “What do you think?”
“Hmph,” Yuluo snorted, folding her hands in front of her chest. “He cannot defeat them with the forces of the Huashan Court; he will die in shame. Apparently he doesn’t know what kind of creatures live on that mountain, lest their entire branch be exterminated.”
Not only did she not see a good outcome for this Heavenly Sword venture, but she also scoffed at the failure awaiting him. He crossed the path of her sect and made fools of all three of them, for which Yuluo wished him death.
Although, when I first heard that he was going to attack Eagle Mountain, instead of ridicule, she only felt surprise. Heavenly Sword didn't seem so crazy to her.
“There are even first-class masters on the mountain,” noted Lu Yi. “They have been gaining strength there for a hundred years, if not more. And all the techniques of the Eagle Cult have been inherited, so they have more power at their disposal than many sects. This is not to mention the fact that almost all the surviving bandits fled to them; they now have three times more people. Heavenly Sword acted stupidly. Even if he wants to destroy the camp, he should wait for a good opportunity rather than attack head-on. Victory at the cost of an army is worth nothing. And to be honest, I don’t believe in Huashan’s victory. Most likely, Eagle Mountain will defeat his army, and then hunt down all their students in the region.”
He shook his head.
“Apparently Heavenly Sword had lost his head from his streak of victories. He thinks he's invulnerable, and we'll watch him fall. It’s even a pity - I’ve only captured forty-nine cities and will already have to give it back.”
As the son of the owner of Guiyun Village, he was accustomed from birth to having all his wishes come true. He didn’t even know what anger was until Lin Yi appeared. And although he didn’t wish him death like Wang Yuluo, he still looked forward to his opponent’s defeat.
