Ye Mo and Mu Bo were also rushing over, following closely behind Mu Qing . The guards all picked up their weapons and followed along as well . After witnessing the scene, Ye Mo finally had a taste of how things were done in a high-level kingdom .

It would perhaps be more apt to call these guards private armies . In a high-level kingdom like Luosha Kingdom, many clans had their own private armies . And the private army of the Hong Clan at Cloudsea City wasn’t exactly large either . The clans of some big cities or independent tribes would have private armies numbering over 10,000 soldiers .

Luosha Kingdom was unlike Tianwu Kingdom which enjoyed relative stability . Here, conflicts could arise at any time, and this was a kingdom where the fittest survived . And naturally, the ones to suffer were the ordinary citizens . And that was also why very few people in Luosha Kingdom knew no martial techniques . Everyone knew that they could be eliminated without strength .

These private armies were the bargaining chips a faction could use in chaotic times . For the sake of destroying the Mu Clan, the Hong Clan had deployed nearly the whole of their private army . The army was aggressively gathered at the public square, clearly intending to thoroughly destroy the Mu Clan .

However, the Mu Clan was not a clan one could easily bully . The war drum sounded as the mansion’s doors were thrown wide open . Numerous Mu Clan guards marched out, all equipped with bows and spears . The soldiers at the front row were all equipped with shields, and the whole of the army radiated an imposing aura . Nevertheless, the overall strength of the Mu Clan guards was comparatively weaker than the other party .

As Mu Qing and Mu Bo, the two experts of Mu Clan, were away, the high-end power of the clan had been greatly weakened . Thus, the people from Hong Clan had taken the opportunity to destroy the Mu Clan with a single push . The first young master and second young master of Mu Clan had also charged out . They were standing in front of the Mu Clan experts, yet their expressions were rather unsightly . Next, four people unfurled their energy wings at the same time and flew over Ye Mo and the others to land before Hong Clan’s private army .

Hong Hai said, his voice rumbling on like a war drum, “Mu Xialong, Mu Xiaohu, why is it just the two of you? Get your father Mu Feng, your sister Mu Qing, and Mu Bo out here . I am curious as to how the four great experts of Mu Clan intend to block my Hong Clan’s advance today . ”

Some of the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warriors could feel an intense gale heading towards them .

Mu Xiaolong said furiously, “Hong Hai, you are shameless! You have actually poisoned my father? My father is currently bedridden from the poison and is unable to come out . ”

“Hong Hai, if we fight head-on, your Hong Clan might not necessarily be a match for us . But you are too shameless!” Mu Xiaohu yelled loudly with his face flushed red .

A Hong Clan elder said coldly, “Audacious! Your clan is on the brink of destruction . Your father has been poisoned, while Mu Qing and Mu Bo have left Cloudsea City . The moment we attack, your Mu Clan will be destroyed . I suggest you obediently give up any resistance . Guards of Mu Clan, if you are willing to join the Hong Clan’s army, I can consider sparing you . ”

“Kill!” Hong Hai yelled . Immediately soldiers of Hong Clan unleashed their arrows, instantly filling the sky with arrows that rained down upon the Mu Clan .

Right at this moment, a shout sounded from the street . “Courting death!” Then, a large arrow transformed into a large crane and charged straight forward . When the arrows landed on the crane, they all bounced off . This was a bow and arrow set which was a Spirit Weapon . The arrow unleashed from the bow would be able to transform into a crane that seemed almost alive .

As for Mu Qing herself, she appeared before the Hong Clan . With the bow in her hand, she gazed at the four experts of Hong Clan .

Mu Qing said coldly, “You are trying to attack the Mu Clan while we are not around?”

“Sister, sister, you are back? Father was ambushed by them using poison . He is dying,” Mu Xiaohu cried out .

“What?” Mu Qing paled when she heard that . She wanted to rush to her father, but with the Hong Clan people gathering here aggressively, she could not leave .

Hong Hai said while roaring with laughter, “Mu Qing, you are finally back . Unfortunately, that old man, Mu Feng, is on the verge of dying . Haha, but soon, your people will die with him as well . ”

Ye Mo rushed over and said, “Young Lady Mu Qing, go see your father with Old Mu . Leave this to me . ”

“You?” Mu Qing cried out in alarm before she said, “No, that Hong Hai is a late-stage Heaven’s Gate Realm expert . He is not an easy opponent . He also has 1,000 private soldiers behind him . When attacking together, not even my father can block them . ”

“Don’t worry . These people are nothing to me . Your father has been poisoned and cannot afford any delay . With this pill, some of his pain might be reduced,” Ye Mo said as he handed a detoxifying pill to Mu Qing .

“After removing the poison from my father, I will return to help you . ” Mu Qing gave Ye Mo a deep gaze before rushing into the Mu Clan’s mansion .

“What did you just say, kid? How egotistical,” a Hong Clan elder said furiously when he heard Ye Mo’s words .

“Hmph . Young Lady Mu Qing is my benefactor, and I am a person who returns a favor done to me . If you want to destroy the Mu Clan, the Hong Clan shall be erased from existence . ”

“Haha, kid, you are only a True Energy Realm warrior . You might be amazing among the young, but it looks like you have been bewitched by Mu Qing . But that is understandable . Mu Qing is also a top-tier beauty of Cloudsea City . It is not unusual for an ignorant young man to go on a suicide mission for her . ”

The third elder from Hong Clan said arrogantly, “Why don’t you measure your own strength? You dare stand against us? In Cloudsea City, nobody the Hong Clan wants dead can stay alive . Moreover, those we want dead would personally deliver their life to us . Otherwise, they would suffer a life worse than death . ”

“Brother, I think you should retreat behind the shields . We will face the enemy when my sister and Old Mu return,” advised Mu Xiaohu when he saw that the enemy was acting arrogantly and was about to attack at any moment .

“Yeah, that Hong Hai is a late-stage Heaven’s Gate Realm expert . My father might not even be his match . ”

“Trying to hide? No way . Shoot!” Hong Hai ordered . Then, numerous arrows rained down upon the Mu Clan again . Mu Xiaohu and Mu Xiaolong instantly paled at this sight .

The Mu Clan guards had worried expressions as well .

Facing the incoming rain of arrows, Ye Mo’s body shook as he stabbed forth with his Sky Blood Spear . Immediately, he unleashed a crimson whirlpool that absorbed all the arrows . And with another wave of his spear, the arrows were spat out of the whirlpool towards the Hong Clan army . With the revolving force of the whirlpool, the arrows had been instantly sent back where they came from .

Hong Hai and the few experts were all shocked at this sight . They immediately activated an energy shield to defend against the arrows . Surprising all of them, Ye Mo’s speed was even faster than the arrows . His spear arrived before the arrows and instantly, a crack appeared on the energy shield jointly created by them .

“Rise!” They put their utmost effort on sustaining the shield as if the shield were to be destroyed, their army would suffer disastrous losses due to the arrows . With the four working together, the shield started restoring .

Ye Mo shouted coldly, “Rising Dragon Pillar, devour!” A ripple was created on the shield, and instantly after, it vanished .

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

With the disappearance of the shield, the Hong Clan army was bombarded by the rain of arrows . All the shields were pierced by the arrows . Nearly 200 of them were hit, instantly filling the entire public square with blood .
