For this group of old soldiers, nothing else mattered. What mattered was that they needed an attitude from the Hall of Glory.
As things had developed to this point, the Hall of Glory had made no statement. Did that mean they were prepared to sit back and watch the tigers fight?
However, thinking about it, this seemed to be the norm.
The Hall of Glory had always been detached from worldly affairs. Not stating a position, not making a sound – this was the style of the Hall of Glory.
Before Ye Longlin returned from overseas, before he returned to the capital, it was rare for the Hall of Glory to release even two messages in a year.
“Tang Long, a mere academy student, dares to attack a meritorious Grand General. When did things become like this?”
With these words, some retired old figures in the capital were stirred up. Although Tang Long had won over a considerable number of people, in reality, the people of the capital could not stand by his side.
The older generation’s sentiments towards the nation and home were something that current generations could not understand. Or perhaps, the current generation of young people’s patriotic fervor was not as strong as the older generation’s. The older generation’s patriotic fervor was such that they could sacrifice their lives for it.
Under the gradual erosion of cultural invasion, with everything foreign presented as a better environment, the worldview of the younger generation was being undermined. This was also one of the problems.
This was also why Li Jiangang and the others were so furious.
“I’ll ask one last time, do you retreat or not?”
Li Jiangang’s Red Plume Saber was held against his neck, his eyes revealing killing intent.
The killing intent erupted like surging rivers.
General Zhang Maochao and a series of old generals who stood with Tang Long seemed to have their throats constricted. They looked at Li Jiangang in disbelief, swallowing hard. “You… you actually dare to kill me?”
The slight pain from the cold blade against his neck made him clearly realize that if this matter was not brought under control, a bloody incident would absolutely occur. Once a bloody incident occurred, the nature of the matter would completely change.
“I’ll count to three. If you don’t move aside after three, I’ll cut off your head!”
“Three!”
“Two!”
“One!”
As the count ended, Zhang Maochao instantly retreated. The moment he retreated, Li Jiangang’s Red Plume Saber fell. Although it cut through empty air, it also let Zhang Maochao and the others know his resolve!
He truly dared to act!
“Are you f***ing crazy?”
Zhang Maochao roared without regard for his image, fear appearing in his eyes.
If he hadn’t retreated a step just now, he would have been decapitated!
Li Jiangang paid him no mind. After a cold snort, he walked directly outside. A pre-arranged bus was waiting at the entrance of the residential area.
Zhang Maochao could only watch them board the bus, not knowing where they were going.
“Send people to follow. I want to know where they went!”
Was Li Jiangang, this idiot, willing to pay such a price for Ye Longlin?
It could be said that if he hadn’t retreated just now, he would already be dead!
He also did not expect that Li Jiangang, this fellow, would actually dare to act!
He touched his neck and felt a warmth on his hand, his entire palm stained with blood. Or rather, his neck had narrowly missed having its carotid artery severed!
“Take me to the hospital to treat my wounds first. If I don’t go now, I’ll bleed to death!”
On the bus, Li Jiangang looked at everyone, his eyes filled with killing intent. “Go and invite the Grand Tutor. This time, even if I die, I won’t let them succeed. They’ve simply gone too far!”
…
Inside a building on Fengye Avenue.
Ye Nantian’s face was grim as he looked at the road below.
“How is this possible? How could the God Slaying style of the Famous Sword Villa not have injured him at all? How is this possible!”
Wu Chengdao also frowned. He couldn’t understand this matter either. Or rather, he felt that things shouldn’t be so bizarre. Logically speaking, even if this sword couldn’t kill Ye Longlin, it should have injured him. How could he withstand his sword strike and still be like nothing had happened?
This was very wrong!
“Many people have died under the God Slaying style of the Famous Sword Villa. Every one of them was close to divinity. Ye Longlin shouldn’t be unharmed. There must be something we’ve overlooked in this matter!”
Ye Nantian had witnessed firsthand the “Pot Within the Sun and Moon” pierce through his heart, and at that moment, he couldn’t sense Ye Longlin’s aura. Therefore, there was no possibility of an accident, and no other unexpected factors could have occurred.
Thus, there must be something they had overlooked, but they didn’t know what it was. The only thing they were sure of was that this matter was clearly not right.
“Regardless of what we’ve overlooked, from now on, we can only deal with Ye Longlin as if he is still in his prime. Are there no further problems?”
Wu Chengdao said with narrowed eyes. He didn’t wish for any other unexpected events to occur. If more unexpected events happened, today would truly be troublesome.
However, there should be no more accidents. From now on, several Saint Realm experts would be guarding him. Unless Ye Longlin could ascend to the Saint Realm, he would absolutely not be their opponent.
“Even if he ascends to the Saint Realm, he won’t be able to return alive today. Six Saint Realm experts, I don’t believe he can still live!”
Ye Nantian sneered, his gaze sinister. The sinister gaze made Wu Chengdao feel a chill down his spine.
Wu Chengdao narrowed his eyes. Ye Nantian was good at putting on an act, truly good at it. This was not something just one person said, but a recognized fact.
Even within the Ye family, many people considered him a smiling tiger.
One moment he could be talking to you with a smile, and the next, he could send you to meet the king of hell.
“I hope so.”
In his sight, Ye Longlin was walking along Fengye Avenue as if strolling through a garden.
He was far from calm at this moment. If people nearby could feel it clearly, they would notice that Ye Longlin’s aura was somewhat unusual. However, that supreme and imposing aura was transforming towards a certain direction. This aura made the Xuan Bird beside him feel a state that was knowable yet unknowable.
She didn’t know what was happening, but she had a guess in her heart. If things truly turned out as she suspected, it would be the best possible outcome.
Of course, at this moment, she didn’t dare to disturb Ye Longlin. If he were disturbed in his current state, it would truly be a grave offense.
At this moment, the Grand Tutor’s Mansion.
The Grand Tutor’s Mansion was also an ancient building, with a history of four hundred years. It had five rooms with two corridors and a transverse wing, covering an area of approximately 400 square meters.
The owner of this Grand Tutor’s Mansion was also a person of great wisdom and strategy, the elder of the previous generation. He was now over one hundred and ten years old, considered the longest-lived among those who had retired.
“Grand Tutor” was also a respectful title for him, as his residence was the Grand Tutor’s Mansion.
“Li Jiangang, requesting an audience with the Grand Tutor!”
