However, with people on guard, trying to invade would result in heavy casualties.

Xu She wasn't that foolish to poison the wine just now or make any blatant moves since his wife and children were still in the city. Doing so would be courting death.

He merely revealed the locations of the traps and mechanisms below, as well as which paths were easier to traverse.

Lin Zheyu sat in the distance, watching Xu She, feeling that he was acting strangely today.

Usually, he never approached Lin Zheyu willingly, let alone invited him for a drink, yet today he did.

Lin Zheyu carefully distinguished that there was no poison, but he still didn't drink it and placed it aside.

Because when Xu She turned around, Lin Zheyu caught a faint hint of hostility in his eyes, which made him alert.

Whoo

Whoosh~

The cold wind howled.

Lin Zheyu lay on the grass, staring blankly at the sky.

In Songyi City, he could go to Baihua Tower to listen to music at night, but at White Stone Mountain, he could only stare blankly.

Suddenly, three bursts of firelight shot up from different directions, exploding in the sky with a bang.

Lin Zheyu suddenly sat up, his eyes narrowed.

Enemy attack!

"Everyone, stay alert, bandits are attacking. Hold your weapons tight, don't relax for a moment!" Lin Zheyu shouted loudly.

"Yes, sir!"

The crowd responded loudly.

Lin Zheyu gripped his knife tightly, not going over to assist.

One firework meant an enemy attack, no support needed.

Two fireworks meant support was needed, and those mobile patrol units would go to assist.

Three fireworks meant a particularly urgent situation, needing a large number of people and masters for support.

Lin Zheyu and his men only needed to send reinforcements when they saw three fireworks.

"They're here!"

Xu She felt a dark joy, unexpected that the bandits chose to attack three places at once this time.

"Are they trying to use other places to draw attention, then sneak in from the most dangerous place?" Xu She thought to himself.

As expected, just when he thought so, from the left firelight appeared again, fireworks exploded in the sky.

Soon after, two firelights rose simultaneously from the right, with two fireworks exploding in the sky.

"What are these bandits doing, attacking so fiercely this time!"

Lin Zheyu muttered, watching the fireworks continuously appear in the sky.

"Hongcheng, Wang Chong, you two each take twenty men to support, the rest remain vigilant!" Lin Zheyu ordered.

"Yes, sir!"

"Sir, let me go instead. Hong stayed up on watch all night, his spirit isn't great today." Xu She suggested.

Lin Zheyu gave him a deep look: "Alright, Hongcheng stays, Xu She lead the men over."

"Yes, sir!"

...

To the north of White Stone Mountain, Jia Yanrong and others were on guard duty there.

They just encountered an attack by bandits.

It wasn't very fierce, they just stealthily approached and secretly released dozens of cold arrows.

Soon after, Jia Yanrong saw from a distance in the sky, two firelights rose, other two locations were also under attack.

"Damn, when will these bandits give it a rest, choosing to attack at night so we can't even sleep." Jia Yanrong cursed.

"Be careful, don't let the fight get to you later." Xie Jiang warned.

"Relax, I'm not like Zhou Jiang, that battle freak." Jia Yanrong said with a smile.

Ne-e-e-igh——

Suddenly, he heard several horse neighs, the sound of hoofbeats coming from afar.

"Archers get ready!"

Qiu Gaoxuan's icy voice sounded.

"Why are there horse sounds, could these guys actually have cavalry?" Xie Jiang mused.

Before long, he found out why.

He saw several horses burst out from the forest, charging straight up White Stone Mountain.

Behind the horses was a dark figure, moving incredibly fast, roaring out a sound unlike any human voice.

"Release the arrows!"

Qiu Gaoxuan commanded!

Instantly, hundreds of crossbow arrows shot toward the horses and figures.

The figure made no attempt to dodge, and when the arrows hit, there was a muffled thud, and they fell directly to the ground.

"Holy shit, is that even human!" Jia Yanrong was so shocked that his eyes widened, he couldn't help but curse.

"Damn, it's a living corpse!"

Xie Jiang quickly realized.

Though he had never seen a living corpse before, they had just appeared nearby, and seeing this guy immune to blades and arrows, it was easy to connect the dots.

"Call for reinforcements, hurry, call for reinforcements!" someone shouted.

The horses moved swiftly, continuing their charge up White Stone Mountain even after being hit by arrows.

Thump——

The living corpse caught up to the last horse, thrusting its hand viciously into the horse's abdomen, pulling out a still-beating live heart.

It grabbed the heart, popped it into its mouth, chewed twice, swallowed, and a look of enjoyment appeared on its face.

Tweeet.

Qiu Gaoxuan acted decisively, firing off two fireworks.

Faced with such a monstrosity, they were completely unable to cope, and had to send a distress signal to call for the two Qi Blood realm experts.

"Don't go near that monster, Mr. Ren and Mr. Xu will be here soon. Keep an eye on those bandits, do not allow them to climb the mountain!"

Qiu Gaoxuan shouted loudly.

...

Unlike other areas, the south side of White Stone Mountain was calm.

Lin Zheyu and the brothers from the Feihong Gang stood ready with their weapons.

Below, in the dense forest, thirty or so figures appeared.

"They're making a move, soon it'll be our turn." someone said in a low voice.

"That Xu She said the one guarding this place is just a Bone Forging realm Martial Artist, he wouldn't lie to us, would he?" another man worriedly asked.

"What's there to be afraid of, even if it's a Refining Internal Organ realm Martial Artist, I'll chop him with one blade!" another sneered, raising his knife with a sinister grin.

"Now that our men have been drawn north, not many are keeping watch here."

"You guys go first, draw their attention, and then Zhou Geng and I will rush in to kill."

"Once we take this place, we can let the other brothers in for a pincer attack!" the man said.

He looked up at the sky, and seeing the fireworks, whispered, "Watch out for traps underfoot, move out!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh——

Dozens of figures shot out quickly, dodging deftly, climbing up the cliffs.

"Impressive skills, they're all Bone Forging realm Martial Artists!"

Lin Zheyu watched the few figures charging below, coldly saying: "Fire the arrows!"
