Chapter 388 - Meeting an Old ManHowever, Bi Hongzhang, who was the county governor, finally reacted.
Looking at the huge black wolf that was clad in heavy armor, just like a ghost in the night, ruthlessly killing the horde of cloud beasts that was riding in the middle of the beast tide, he was so excited that his face was flushed red as he shouted with a trembling voice!"Yes, it"s the Snow Wolf Cavalry! The Snow Wolf Cavalry has arrived!"
Soon after, he saw the three thousand strong cavalrymen wearing dark golden armor riding on the horses as they charged into the defensive perimeter. The latter cried out once again, "The Buddha Cavalry, they are here as well!"
"Boom!"For a time, Bi Hongzhang"s voice reverberated throughout the entire square. It was like a clap of thunder thrown into a calm water surface. At the same time, cries of surprise broke out among the citizens and soldiers of Beishan County.
The reputation of the Black Tortoise Cavalry was great in the north. It was an important force in the fight against the barbarians. The Snow Wolf Cavalry"s reputation was quite impressive. It had been a legend that had saved the country from destruction twice.
At this moment, the two armies were both in the Northern Good County City. Everyone was shocked and filled with excitement. With them around, they finally saw hope for life.
At the same time, the crowd became more and more curious as to who the young man who saved Bi Taigou was. With such a high level of cultivation, he was actually able to command these two special armies.
At this moment, seeing that the defensive perimeter had stabilized, Xiang Yun gave another order!
"The Buddha Armoured Cavalry, move forward and double the defensive perimeter!"
Hearing this order, the Black Tortoise Cavalry immediately took action and pushed forward. The Snow Wolf Cavalry also coordinated to increase the radius of their charge and the defensive perimeter immediately extended outwards!
Seeing the actions of the army, Bi Hongzhang revealed a puzzled expression. As a general of the Northern Mountain County, he had many years of experience leading troops into the political hall, so he was clear that the expansion of the encirclement meant that the people in the center were safe from danger. However, it would undoubtedly increase the strength and difficulty of the defense of the soldiers.
Bi Hongzhang looked around himself. There was no end to the cloud beasts in the city, and the beast tide was still moving towards them from the northwest.
More and more Cloud Beasts were coming. No matter how strong the Snow Wolf Cavalry and the PaG.o.da Armoured Cavalry were, once they fell into a prolonged battle, they would eventually run out of energy.
After hesitating for a moment, Bi Hongzhang was unable to suppress his worries. In the end, he decided to dissuade Xiang Yun and force his troops to retreat.
However, when Bi Hongzhang turned his head around, he saw that within the defensive circle, Xiang Yun had already turned into a shadow, quickly shuttling back and forth within the circle. Wherever he pa.s.sed, his palm would shake slightly and a beam of light would fall onto the ground, landing directly on it.Every time a beam of light fell, the distance between the heart and the body would slightly differ. But after Xiang Yun pa.s.sed by, the ground would light up with a point of light that didn"t dissipate. It was a very mystical sight.
"This is …" Bi Hongzhang was only slightly surprised for a split-second before he reacted with a start, exclaiming, "A formation!"Xiang Yun had actually set up an array formation within the defensive circle. Naturally, Xiang Yun did not have much attainments in the Dao of array formations.
However, in the treasury of the Gesun Trading Company, Dima, as an array master, had collected quite a few precious items. Dozens of array flags of various sizes had all been placed in Xiang Yun"s pocket.
At this moment, Xiang Yun had taken out a defensive array known as the "Mysterious Cloud Miasma Formation". According to the rank 12 array formation of this world, this was a Grade 3 array formation.
Xiang Yun naturally knew that using the army to resist the cloud beast tide was not a long-term solution. The reason he had the army push their defenses outwards was to make room for them and set up a formation!
Seeing Xiang Yun set up the array, Bi Hongzhang was once again excited. In this sort of situation, a single array formation was far more useful than manpower.
Seeing that the battle outside was getting increasingly intense, Xiang Yun moved even faster. The array flag quickly sank into the ground. In just a short moment, Xiang Yun had already laid down all the array flags.
He then returned to the center of the defensive circle. With a flash of his hand, a silver formation appeared in his palm.Xiang Yun used his other hand to wrap up dozens of cloud crystals. The astral energy in his palm stirred and these cloud crystals instantly exploded, turning into a ball of pure cloud energy.
Xiang Yun sent this dense and pure cloud energy towards the array disc. The silver light on the surface of the array disc began to shine brightly, instantly absorbing all of the cloud energy into the center of the array disc.
Having done all of this, Xiang Yun finally gave the order, "Soldiers, retreat immediately and enter the defensive perimeter!"
Immediately after, Qi Haowei led his troops and opened up a gap in the formation"s range at the right time. The Snow Wolf Cavalry arrived at this point, and in a flash, they merged into a straight line, taking the opportunity to rush into the formation. In the blink of an eye, the entire army had been reduced to within the formation"s range.
Xiang Yun did not hesitate to throw some cloud energy into the formation plate as well. The formation plate immediately began spinning in Xiang Yun"s hands.The light beams interweaved and spread upwards, enveloping everyone within. At the same time, a hazy smoke rose from the array in all directions, enveloping everyone within!
A series of m.u.f.fled sounds could be heard from outside the formation. However, not a single Cloud Beast was able to break through the clouds and enter the formation. Everyone was protected by the formation!Seeing the fog that shrouded the outer perimeter of the terrifying Cloud Beast, the people of the Northern Good County, who had originally been extremely nervous and experienced despair several times, finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
At this moment, Bi Hongzhang also heaved a sigh of relief. A gratified smile finally appeared on his face that was dyed with the blood of the Cloud Beast.
After the moment of joy pa.s.sed, everyone"s gaze could not help but turn towards the Snow Wolf Cavalry and the PaG.o.da squadron. Their eyes were filled with grat.i.tude. If they had not arrived in time, they would have long become rations for the cloud beasts.
Of course, regardless of whether it was the civilians and soldiers of the Beishan Prefecture, the Snow Wolf Cavalry, or the PaG.o.da cavalry, everyone"s eyes were still fixated on the young man standing in the middle of the formation with a silver disc in his hand.
This person was the commander of the two squadrons. He had saved Bi Hongzhang in the nick of time and set up this formation to protect everyone. Naturally, everyone was filled with curiosity and grat.i.tude towards him.
At this moment, the youth was entering a dozen beams of light. The spiraling became more and more intense until it finally stabilized. Finally, he let go and the formation plate floated in the air, emitting a hazy silver glow.
After doing all of this, Xiang Yun"s gaze swept across the crowd before finally looking at Beishan County"s supreme guard, Bi Hongzhang, and walking over to him.Seeing Xiang Yun walk over, Bi Hongzhang immediately sheathed his saber from his waist, unconsciously straightening his back a little. Facing this young man with an extraordinary bearing and the prefecture overseer, Bi Hongzhang actually felt a little nervous for a moment.
Seeing that Xiang Yun had arrived in front of him, Bi Hongzhang cupped his hands together and said.
"Thank you, Sir, for saving me. I am Beishan County"s Great Guard, Bi Hongzhang. On behalf of my people, I thank you and the soldiers for saving my life!"
As Bi Hongzhang spoke, he bowed deeply towards Xiang Yun, the Snow Wolf Cavalry and the Buddha Armoured Cavalry.
At the same time, the civilians and soldiers that survived in Northson Prefecture also stood up and bowed, expressing their heartfelt grat.i.tude.Seeing this, Xiang Yun immediately stepped forward, dragging Bi Hongzhang"s kneeling body.
"It has been a long time since we last met. How have you been?" Xiang Yun smiled as he looked at Bi Hongzhang. His slightly playful smile caused this Lord Protector to be stunned.
"This lord, have we met before?"Although Xiang Yun looked very young, he was able to control the Snow Wolf Cavalry and the PaG.o.da Armoured Cavalry. His status was naturally extraordinary. How could Bi Hongzhang dare to be so arrogant? Naturally, he addressed him as" milord ".
At this moment, Bi Hongzhang was already rapidly searching through the memories in his mind, searching for the young experts of the younger generation in the Wind Cloud Country. After all, there were not many in the entire Wind Cloud Country who could control the Snow Wolf cavalry and the PaG.o.da cavalry.
However, no matter how Bi Hongzhang racked his brains, he still couldn"t think of anyone who matched this young man in front of him.
Xiang Yun saw Bi Hongzhang"s awkward appearance as if he had dug up all sorts of ideas from thin air, and could not help but tease him.
A few months ago, my father was born. My lord, together with the county governor of the Northwest, came to congratulate me on my return. I was infuriated with my father, but my lord stepped forward to persuade me.
"Hm." Hearing this, Bi Hongzhang was momentarily stunned. He thought to himself: So I"ve even congratulated this young man"s father on his birthday.
Eh? Wait a moment. Bi Hongzhang suddenly recalled the youth"s words. "To congratulate the county governor of the Northwest". In the entire Northwest, there seemed to be only one person who could cause a group of county governors to head there at the same time.
"Don"t tell me …"
In Bi Hongzhang"s mind, the heroic face of a man whose clothes were whiter than snow, whose face was that of a pure scholar, but who was also incomparably imposing, suddenly appeared!
The heroic face before him was actually quite similar to that of the man, and he thought of the young face he had seen in the Prince"s Mansion half a year ago.Bi Hongzhang"s head buzzed!
"You are His Highness, the Third Son!""Haha, Bi Tinfeng has finally recognized me!" Xiang Yun smiled.
However, Bi Hongzhang was panicking as he gave the order to the civilians and soldiers of the prefectural city of Beishan: "Pay your respects to Your Highness, your third son!"
In the entire northwest of the Wind Cloud Country, there were still a few of the third prince"s sons. Needless to say, they knew of this person"s ident.i.ty, and that person was the one known as the third prince"s son, "Xiang Yun"! The renowned number one trash of the Wind Cloud Kingdom!"Greetings, Your Highness!"
In that moment, all the soldiers and civilians within the formation fell to their knees. Seeing this, Xiang Yun felt helpless and hurriedly got them to rise.
"There"s no need to be overly courteous, Bi Tailou. This is not the time to be polite!"Although Ding Yun had helped Bi Hongzhang up, his gaze was still darting back and forth on Ding Yun. His eyes were still filled with disbelief. It was said that it would take three days before they saw each other again.
Bi Hongzhang still remembered the first time he had met Xiang Yun. The latter had been a good-for-nothing son of the prodigy who had been beaten to a pulp by the Princess of the Pheonix. He had been rumored to be a good-for-nothing for a long time in the Empire of Feng Yun.
However, in just a few short months, the difference between them was like the sky and the earth. The current Xiang Yun did not only have a heroic appearance, a divine gaze, and an aura that was as deep as the abyss; he actually had the cultivation of the Yellow Cloud Realm.
Moreover, just now, when Xiang Yun had saved him, he had struck out with a palm, simultaneously killing three of the Cloud Beasts.
"Is this really the third son of the Prince"s Mansion?"
Bi Hongzhang felt that his brain wasn"t enough to handle the situation. However, in this world, other than the direct descendants of the Prince"s Mansion, who else could control the Northwest Snow Wolf Cavalry? There was no doubt that this was the third son!
Bi Hongzhang couldn"t help but sigh in his heart. This world was full of wonders!
