Chapter 157: Crimson Sun Vigil (1)

“Do you know what it means for us to go to him?”

When Yue Fei heard Guo Jing’s words, he looked at him solemnly.

Guo Jing was a martial artist, but Yue Fei was a general in the imperial court.

Although he wasn’t as adept at scheming as certain scholars, he also understood that once they sought out Mei Changge, it signified that the two of them would be following Mei Changge in the days to come.

Of course, the most crucial aspect was Mei Changge’s open and unmistakable intention to enlist them.

“Brother Yue, if I can save more than 100,000 people in Xiangyang City, I will do it.”

Guo Jing straightened his face. He was well aware of Mei Changge’s offer. If Mei Changge had the ability to save Xiangyang City, he would agree.

Besides, he was still curious about the Transcendent divine arts that Mei Changge had once mentioned.

“That’s right. If we can save more than 100,000 people in Xiangyang City, there’s nothing we can’t do.”

Realization washed over Yue Fei as he listened to Guo Jing’s words. He had inadvertently elevated his own status. He wasn’t just General Yue—he was also a commoner of the Great Song.

The Great Song existed in name only and only a few undercurrents continued to surge beneath the surface.

“Guo Jing, look for him on your own.”

A trace of killing intent appeared on Yue Fei’s face as he looked at the Ghouls that kept jumping up the city wall.

“Yue army!”

“Yes, General!” “Follow my lead! Massacre the foreign race!”

“Yes, General!”

Yue Fei’s tone was solemn as he shouted at the Yue army not far behind him.

The Yue soldiers in black armor followed Yue Fei and rushed up the city wall.

Yue Fei held the Liquan Spear in his hand, his eyes filled with killing intent. As he waved it, he easily pierced through the chests of some Ghouls.

On the city wall, the Yue soldiers, who had been arranged to lead the garrison troops, were instantly overjoyed.

Their morale instantly soared, and they suppressed the Ghouls for a moment.

On the other side of the city wall, Mei Changge also noticed the change and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

“Morale is high.”

Mei Changge nodded, satisfied with Yue Fei’s actions.

Even though he knew that the Yue army of only 5,000 soldiers was no match for the Ghouls, Yue Fei still took the lead and charged forward.

“Brother Mei!”

Mei Changge looked at Guo Jing, who had found him.

When Guo Jing arrived in front of Mei Changge, he was surprised to find that no Ghouls had approached within three meters of Mei Changge.

“Brother Mei, or rather, Lord Mei, please save the 100,000 people in Xiangyang

City! ”

Although Guo Jing did not know why there were no foreign races near Mei Changge and Xu Chu, he still spoke respectfully to Mei Changge.

“Do you know why those martial artists ran away?”

Mei Changge did not agree to Guo Jing’s request. Instead, he pointed his finger at the fleeing martial artists.

“They…”

Guo Jing stood rooted to the ground. He did not know why he had asked this question, but he thought about it for a moment.

“The martial world is a vast dyeing vat, without constraints, it will ultimately corrode people’s hearts.”

Guo Jing understood what Mei Changge meant.

It was simply because of fear, dread, and their abilities that ordinary individuals lacked.

“Lord Mei, I understand.”

Guo Jing thought for a moment, before bowing respectfully to Mei Changge.

“Well, since you’re here, General Yue should have thought it through, right?” Mei Changge nodded slightly and asked with a smile.

“If you’re willing to save Xiangyang City, Brother Yue and I are willing to join you.”

Guo Jing said to Mei Changge with a solemn expression.

“You won’t regret your choice today.”

Mei Changge smiled at Guo Jing’s answer. Then, he turned to Xu Chu and nodded slightly.

Xu Chu cupped his hands and leaped into the air.

“Golden Crow Guards!”

Xu Chu floated in the air and shouted into Xiangyang City.

Guo Jing gazed at Xu Chu with curiosity as he floated in the air. He had no knowledge of the so-called Golden Crow Guards. Could they be an army exclusive to Mei Changge, similar to Yue Fei’s forces?

“Here!”

Long whistles sounded in Xiangyang City. Then, golden light appeared in Xiangyang City and the guards approached Xu Chu quickly.

“What’s that?”

Although Yue Fei was leading the Yue army to fight the Ghouls, he also noticed Xu Chu in the air. His eyes were filled with shock.

What surprised him was the intermittent auras emanating from Xiangyang City, as though they originated from a single individual. Furthermore, these auras were in close proximity to him and Guo Jing.

“Half-step Grandmaster? Xiangyang City may have hope!”

Yue Fei showed a smile. He was relieved. It seemed that he and Guo Jing had made the right choice.

However, there might not be any Yue army in the future.

Although Yue Fei was smiling, his eyes revealed a trace of emotion as he looked at the Yue soldiers fighting the Ghouls around him.

However, this thought disappeared in an instant. He brandished the Liquan Spear to defend against the mysterious rod formed by the Blood Robe behind the foreign races.

“Attack!”

Yue Fei shouted, his entire being filled with murderous intent and his armor already stained with the blood of the foreign races. Although some of the Yue soldiers beside him fell from time to time, none of them retreated.

All the Yue soldiers had calm gazes as if they had already seen through life and death. They followed Yue Fei’s footsteps closely and attacked the Ghouls..
