The guard lowered his head. Facing such a brutal old master, he did not dare to continue to say more.
The old general saw that the guard no longer spoke, and he turned to look at Qinyi. “Yi’er, continue doing the same as before. Make sure to protect the safety of those ladies and these people. I’ll leave it to you.”
The old general’s voice trembled; he closed his eyes with some reluctance and only opened them a few seconds later.
Qinyi stepped forward and nodded firmly. “Father, don’t worry. As long as I am still alive, I will certainly not put these people in the path of any danger.”
“Good.”
The old master patted Qinyi’s shoulder, turned around, and walked with firm steps toward the outside of the house.
Every step he took was heavy, hammering hard upon Qinyi’s heart, causing her heartache as she watched the old master’s departure.

The dead bodies were strewn across the field in the city gate.
The blood flowed into a river, flowing over the street.
The old master just arrived when he saw a man beheading a young girl with a sword.
His eyes were red, looking at the dead bodies all over the ground. Their eyes filled with blood, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of their throat.
These people lying on the ground were the people of Liu Yun Kingdom!
This scene was like a knife digging into his heart, making his heart ache and his eyes bloodshot.
‘d.a.m.n! All of these people deserve to die!’
The old master clutched the longsword in his hand, a figure in full armor, as fierce as back then. But he had aged a lot; his white hair billowed in the harsh wind.
“Father?”
The moment Nalan Zhangqian turned back, he saw that the old master had run to his side.
His father was angry, trembling, as if there was a rush of blood coming headlong, making him almost lose his mind.
“Father, why are you still here?” Nalan Zhangqian smiled bitterly.
He knew that his father could not possibly sit silently.
The kingdom was like his family, and the people were like his own son.
How could he stand by and watch when his family and his son were dying?
“I don’t know who you are or why you came to my Liu Yun Kingdom!” The long sword in the old master’s hand was pointed at the head of the enemy group, his voice trembling. “But you so-called strong men are so brutal and evil. Just because you are powerful, can you disregard the lives of the ordinary people?
“In my opinion, you do not deserve the name. The real strong man is to protect the land… To protect the people! Not beasts like you who humiliated the people and killed them recklessly!”
‘This group of people is the real beast!
‘No, I’m afraid that not even beasts are as brutal as they are!’
The elder in the sky lowered his gaze, looking at the old master coldly. “We are here to find a man called Feng Tianwu. Get him out here, and I will let these innocent people go. If he does not come, I will slaughter all people in this city! No one will be left behind!”
The moment these words were spoken, the elder in the sky emitted harsh energy.
This energy was like a fierce storm, and no one could resist the power it held.
Nalan Zhangqian raised his head in panic. “Father, this…”
This energy was so shocking that it was impossible to resist.
Nalan Zhangqian trembled slightly. ‘Where exactly did these people come from?
‘Perhaps… We really can’t defend Liu Yun Kingdom anymore?’
The old master clutched the sword in his hand.
He knew there was no way to resist.
In front of him, these people were too powerful, so powerful that they were no longer able to fight against them.
But…
“I am the general of Liu Yun Kingdom. My daughter is the empress of Liu Yun Kingdom, Feng Tianwu’s wife. Just deal with me and don’t let your men kill these innocent people again!”
