The last time the Shengmuiao people in the mountains easily captured the county town was primarily due to the surprise attack they launched. Before the soldiers in the city could react, they had already seized the city gate and poured into the city.

This allowed the Miao people to kill the leading officials and soldiers in the city. By the time the local factions and clans wanted to make a move, it was already too late.

Finally, the rebellious Shengmuiao offered them some benefits, so these factions and clans, joined the Miao people in pillaging the city and amassing wealth, becoming chaotic people.

This time, the court brought soldiers and a new County Magistrate.

The elder of the Bai family of the Miao people found it hard to believe whether those local factions and clans would still side with them to confront the court.

After all, being forced into banditry and proactively attacking court officials are entirely different matters.

On the same note, those clans and factions are ultimately Yue people, not of the same ethnicity as the Miao people.

Who would be willing to betray their own ethnicity and side with the enemy, if given a choice?

The elder with white eyes was aware of this, but he had come with responsibility and had promised the higher-ups in the Holy Sect that he would recapture Wugang County again.

If he returned empty-handed this time, let alone the punishment, he would lose face.

So, after considering all the factors, he gritted his teeth and asked, “What if I personally don the armor and lead a raid on the city gate? Could it be successful?”

This white-eyed elder was a second-tier martial artist in Jianghu. A second-tier martial artist on the battlefield could hold off dozens of ordinary soldiers.

If not confronted by a corresponding expert, leading a team of soldiers on the battlefield, he could virtually sweep all opposing forces.

Of course, on the battlefield, the sword could cut without choosing, and if he were surrounded, even a second-tier martial artist in heavy armor would be killed.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if they consider themselves highly skilled, martial arts masters would not easily lead a charge.

The decision made by this white-eyed elder showed his desperation and determination.

The elder listened to this and pondered for a moment, responding ,”lf the white-eyed elder leads the charge, then naturally the success rate would increase. However, this requires the cooperation of elite warriors.

While there are some warriors who have cultivated inner strength in our village, there are only about a dozen of them, and among them, there are only three with a third-tier achievement.

These people are the brave men of our tribe, and we can’t just risk deploying them recklessly.

The situation in other villages is similar to ours.

So, if you want to raid the city, the white-eyed elder would have to personally lead enough warriors. We can only assist in the attack once the city gate is open.”

The elder had to stand his ground for the benefits of his village even if the opposing party was an elder from the Holy Sect, he had to be responsible for his village.

“Okay, when the time comes, I’ll bring six third-tier warriors with me. You’ll also send some warriors who have cultivated their inner strength to charge at the city with me.”

The white-eyed elder’s expression changed as he heard these terms. He bit his teeth, made the decision, and then stared at the elder, “I am paying the brunt, you all have to pay a price, right? This is the order of the Holy Sect.”

Upon hearing the words “Holy Sect,” the elder, who initially wanted to bargain further, opened his mouth but didn’t dare to continue to bargain. He simply nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll start gathering the brave …”

As he was about to say something, a noise suddenly came from outside the guest hall. This was followed by various shouts and screams of horror.

The unexpected change caught everyone by surprise.

“What’s happening outside?”

An elder from the village stood up and was about to go outside to ask.

Just then, the tightly closed door of the guest hall was kicked open, and a well-known warrior from the village rushed in, staggered to the elders, and said, “Elders, the Yue soldiers are attacking.”

At these words, everyone present was startled.

The white-eyed elder jumped up to the warrior, grabbed his collar, and asked, “What did you say? The Yue are attacking?”

The warrior was startled by the sudden appearance of the figure, but when he reacted, he said with a hint of panic on his face, “Yes. Just now, a batch of Yue people infiltrated our mountain village and suddenly killed those guarding the village gate, including Liang.

Then they opened the village gate and let the Yue soldiers in.

After entering the village, these Yue soldiers killed anyone they saw and set fires everywhere.

Now more than half of the village has fallen, and they are fast approaching this side.”

Hearing this, the elders all rose to their feet, their faces showing some panic.

And the elder who had been speaking before now showed a face full of shock and anger, trembling as he said, “How dare they, how dare these Yue people…”

These Miao elders, who were just discussing plans to capture the Yue city and make a fortune, were all frightened and disoriented by the sudden onslaught from the Yue people.

While they call themselves Miao elders, in reality, they are just leaders of a village of two to three thousand people. Each of them is only in charge of a few hundred people, equivalent to a small village head under the rule of the Yue court.

Facing this disaster of extinction, they were momentarily at a loss as to how to deal with it as the village’s head was not there.

Fortunately, the white-eyed elder from the Five Poisons sect was worldly and had a relatively high status in Jianghu. Naturally, he wouldn’t panic like these people.

He looked at these panic-stricken elders, and a flash of disgust and disdain crossed his eyes as he thought about how he had just been discussing big issues with these men.

But now, the most important thing was to repel the Yue people. These elders were still useful for capturing Wugang County, so he shouted, “Calm down, everyone. The most important thing right now is to repel those Yue people. Elder Yu, you need to immediately gather the remaining …”

The white-eyed elder was about to make some arrangements, but before he could finish, he suddenly sensed a crisis. His experience in Jianghu allowed him to dodge to the side at the right moment.

Then, in the next instant, dozens of dark shadows whooshed past where he had just been standing.

“Ahh!”

With the screams, the white-eyed elder turned around to see the three elders from the village and the warrior who had brought the news, each pierced by several arrows, screaming in pain on the ground, before falling silent.

Seeing this, he felt a jolt in his heart and quietly thanked his luck.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he was struck by a sense of danger again.

He turned his head and saw, at the entrance of the hall, a few dozen Yue soldiers led by a general, holding bows and arrows. The chill-glinting arrows were all aimed directly at him.

“A martial arts expert?”

Lu Yuan looked surprised as he saw the white-eyed elder who had just barely evaded the arrows, like a phantom.

With his experience, he could tell that the white-robed man in front of him was not a weakling but had reached the second -tier level in the martial arts world.

He hadn’t expected an expert like this to be in a small Miao mountain village. With this thought flashing in his mind, he immediately gave the order.

“Shoot! ”

No matter how powerful the martial arts expert is, against the strong bow and crossbow, he has to fall just the same..
