Chapter 591 All the Masters Emerge
The afterglow of the setting sun bathed Fengyang Prefecture in a golden glow, making everything feel golden.
"Lin Ping, how dare you escape from Hanyue Peak without permission? Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the Peak Master?" Martial Arts Master Jiang Rong asked sternly.
"Hmph, I'll take him back right now!" another martial arts master, Han Xiaojing, said angrily.
Lin Ping was, after all, a criminal, and Jiang Rong and the others had the right to arrest him.
However, now is not the best time.
"Instead of asking me questions, we had already rescued my senior sister."
Lin Ping replied irritably that if it weren't for Jiang Yunying's sake, he wouldn't have been polite to anyone from Lotus Palace.
"What kind of attitude is this? Don't think that we can't rescue Junior Sister Yunying without you." Han Xiaojing was dissatisfied with Lin Ping's attitude and was about to attack him.
"Senior Sister Han, Senior Sister Jiang, it was Master who told me to release Junior Brother. Without him, we really wouldn't have been able to rescue Senior Sister Yunying."
Guo Zhixi couldn't stand their arrogant attitude and replied in a very unfriendly manner.
Upon hearing this, the two immediately shut up. Putting aside the fact that this matter was authorized by the peak master, Guo Zhixi's status alone was enough to put them in a superior position.
"Junior Martial Uncle, when are we going to rescue Martial Aunt?" a female disciple asked curiously.
After all, she was a young girl, naturally attracted to good looks, and Lin Ping had done a lot of manly things, so she had long admired him to the point of worship.
Unfortunately, the junior uncle was cut off by his senior aunt, and his last remaining hope was extinguished.
Even so, they were still willing to regard Lin Ping as their backbone and someone to rely on.
"A dark and windy night is the perfect time to kill!" Lin Ping said coldly.
Generally speaking, it's best to rescue someone at night, since the cover of darkness makes it easier to escape the enemy's notice.
Moreover, Lin Ping has X-ray vision, so even in complete darkness, he can see everything clearly.
The night seemed to be his domain; he even hoped for cloudy nights.
Jiang Rong and the other woman did not object; they also believed that it was a good time to act after dark.
Meanwhile, Ning Yifan had already led the Lotus Palace members into the city.
"Let's find an inn to rest first, then go to the main city tonight to check on the situation, and we'll go rescue them tomorrow," Ning Yifan said calmly, as if he were discussing something with someone else.
They were exhausted from their long journey and were somewhat physically drained.
Moreover, they knew nothing about Fengyang Prefecture, and didn't even know where Jiang Yunying was being held.
Rushing into the main city will only lead to certain death.
“Ning Yifan, don’t think that just because you’re the top disciple of Feihong Peak you can be arrogant and order us around. If we all do as you say, even if we rescue Jiang Yunying, it will be your achievement, and we Beidou Peak people will just become your stepping stones.”
"Gu Qingyun, a martial arts master from Beidou Peak, said angrily. Although his martial arts skills were inferior to Ning Yifan's, he was older and had more seniority in the Lotus Palace."
I hate being pointed at and criticized by these young people.
Now that we're here, we can't back down. Instead of following Ning Yifan's orders, we should rescue Jiang Yunying ourselves and try to gain credit with the Palace Master.
“Senior Brother Qingyun, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that we know nothing about Fengyang Prefecture, so we can’t act rashly,” Ning Yifan explained.
He didn't want to fall out with the people of Beidou Peak because of this.
"Hmph, I think you're just scared. In this vast world, how many people can rival my Lotus Palace? What's there to fear about a mere Lord of Fengyang City? I, Gu Qingyun, can kill him all by myself!"
Gu Qingyun said dismissively.
“Jiang Yunying has been arrested, how can we not take the Lord of Fengyang City seriously?” A disciple from Feihong Peak explained unhappily.
"That's because Jiang Yunying was foolish and fell for the enemy's trick. Based on strength alone, I don't believe there's anyone in Fengyang Prefecture who can defeat me, Gu Qingyun!"
"I'll take advantage of the darkness to rescue Jiang Yunying and kill the Lord of Fengyang City while I'm at it."
Gu Qingyun said confidently, naturally unafraid of making empty boasts.
“Senior Brother Qingyun, we’ll go with you too,” Du Tianhong, a disciple of the Enforcement Hall, flattered.
As a peer, he was far less famous than Ning Yifan, and naturally he was unconvinced. He also wanted to show his skills in this mission and impress everyone.
Naturally, she didn't want to become Ning Yifan's stepping stone, so she led the members of the Enforcement Hall to follow closely behind Gu Qingyun.
"Ning Yifan, you people from Feihong Peak should rest here. We'll go back together after we rescue Jiang Yunying."
Gu Qingyun laughed loudly, looking confident of victory.
"Uncle-Master, let's go take a look too. We can't let the people from Beidou Peak steal the credit," a disciple from Feihong Peak reminded them.
Watching Gu Qingyun and the others walk away, Ning Yifan shook his head helplessly: "Such recklessness will only lead to their own demise."
As one of the best among the younger generation, he knew Jiang Yunying better than others.
They knew how capable Jiang Yunying was and how she was harmed by some conspiracies and tricks.
The reason she was captured must be because there is an even more powerful expert involved.
Ning Yifan wasn't afraid; he just wanted to understand the situation before making any plans.
"After all, they are fellow disciples. We can't just stand by and watch them go to their deaths. Let's go and see what's going on."
Upon hearing this, the younger disciples were overjoyed.
They shared Gu Qingyun's view that everyone inside the Lotus Palace was a king, while everyone outside was bronze.
With their White Lotus Realm strength, they could easily sweep through the entire Martial Kingdom.
All those years of arduous training, wasn't it all for the sake of being superior to others? Wasn't it all for the sake of making a name for oneself?
The opportunity has finally arrived.
As long as Jiang Yunying is rescued, the Palace Master will promote him, he will learn more advanced sword techniques, complete more difficult tasks, and receive greater rewards... an endless cycle, a never-ending battle.
Gu Qingyun and the others quickly arrived outside the main city and, taking advantage of the darkness, swiftly climbed the city wall.
In his view, there were at least 10,000 private soldiers in the city lord's mansion, and there should be guards on the city wall. Climbing up there openly might lead to encountering a few of them.
If that were the case, he would not hesitate to kill the soldiers and enter the city openly.
However, the spot they climbed was deserted, and the soldiers patrolling in the distance did not spot them at all.
"With such limited strength, he's unworthy to be the city lord? I really don't know what the palace master was thinking, trying to win over someone like this." Gu Qingyun muttered to herself.
Jiang Yunying was captured to carry out a mission, which was to capture the Lord of Fengyang City alive and force him to surrender.
This was a task personally issued by the Palace Master. Gu Qingyun had thought the City Lord of Fengyang was quite capable, but now it seemed he had overestimated him.
Several disciples of Lotus Palace quickly climbed onto the city wall, and the enemy did not react at all.
"Master, where is Jiang Yunying being held?" Looking at the vast city, a disciple was like a headless fly.
"Isn't that simple? The brightest lights are in the City Lord's Mansion. Even if Jiang Yunying isn't here, the City Lord of Fengyang is definitely here!" Gu Qingyun said smugly, standing with his hands behind his back, as if he were a savior.
