Chapter 697: Annihilate the Incoming Enemy

Just as both sides were at sword's point, Wei Zhuang's figure appeared in the Main Hall, mocking Gai Nie.

"Fu Nian, This Seat is giving you one more chance. As long as you hand over these Mo Family rebels, This Seat can pretend nothing ever happened!"

At this moment, Li Si spoke loudly to Fu Nian once more. Unless absolutely necessary, he truly did not want to make a move against Little Sage Village.

"Prime Minister Li's kind intentions, I gratefully accept. However, this time the Mo Family — my Little Sage Village is determined to protect them!"

Hearing Li Si's words, Fu Nian replied in a firm tone.

"Good! Good! Good! Since your Little Sage Village insists on seeking death, then This Seat cannot be blamed!"

"All men hear the order — slay the rebels, leave none alive!"

Seeing that Fu Nian and the others were dead set on protecting the Mo Family people, Li Si was completely done with them. His face turned ashen as he roared furiously.

"Kill!"

As Li Si's words fell, a group of Luo Net assassins instantly charged toward Fu Nian and the others.

"Men of the Ru Family, follow me to meet the enemy!"

"Men of the Mo Family, follow me to meet the enemy!"

Seeing this scene, Fu Nian and Gao Jianli shouted in unison, leading a group of Ru Family and Mo Family people to charge at the Luo Net assassins.

"Kill…"

In an instant, the two sides erupted into a fierce battle within Little Sage Village.

"Gao Jianli, I never expected you to have broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm. Wei Zhuang, aren't your Liusha people coming out yet!"

Watching his subordinates being cut down one after another by the Mo Family and Ru Family, Yan Ri blocked Gao Jianli's attack and roared furiously at Wei Zhuang, who was watching from the side.

Hearing Yan Ri's words, Wei Zhuang did not make a move, but instead watched the battlefield with a solemn expression.

At this moment, Yan Ri was engaged with Gao Jianli, Jing Ni was intercepted by Fu Nian, and Hei Bai Xuan Jian was intercepted by Yan Lu.

Moreover, he discovered that Gao Jianli and Yan Lu's cultivation had already reached the First Heaven of Martial Emperor Realm.

Fu Nian's cultivation had even broken through to the Second Heaven of Martial Emperor, and the opponent's strength was already greater than his own.

"Wei Zhuang, leave Gai Nie to you. The matters of your Guigu School, you handle yourselves. Leave the rest to This Seat!"

At this moment, Xing Hun, who had been watching from the side, stepped forward. After speaking to Wei Zhuang, his figure flashed as he charged into the battlefield.

"Xing Hun, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Allow me to experience the brilliant moves of the Yin Yang Family's genius Protector!"

Zhang Liang, who had been keeping his eyes on Xing Hun, saw him make his move and arrived before him at the first instant, intercepting him.

"Hmph! Zhang Liang! I never expected that you too have broken through to the Martial Emperor First Level!"

Sensing the aura emanating from Zhang Liang, Xing Hun said with a dark expression.

Immediately, the two engaged in fierce combat, exchanging dozens of moves in an instant.

On the other side, Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie had also begun to fight. However, it was not long before Wei Zhuang discovered that Gai Nie's cultivation had actually reached the Second Heaven of Martial Emperor.

"Senior Brother, I never expected you to have broken through to the Second Heaven of Martial Emperor. This truly comes as a surprise to your junior brother!"

Sensing Gai Nie's cultivation at the Second Heaven of Martial Emperor, Wei Zhuang said with a solemn expression.

He had not expected that, despite Gai Nie being so severely injured, he could still break through to the Second Heaven of Martial Emperor in such a short time.

At this moment, Fu Nian had already taken down Jing Ni, and was now joining forces with Yan Lu to deal with Hei Bai Xuan Jian together.

Hei Bai Xuan Jian had originally been evenly matched with Yan Lu, but with the addition of Fu Nian, a strong cultivator at the Second Heaven of Martial Emperor, he instantly fell into a disadvantage.

And Gai Nie, after clashing with Wei Zhuang once more, did not hold back this time, engaging Wei Zhuang with his full strength.

Once serious, Gai Nie's strength was still formidable. In less than a Hundred moves, he had already defeated Wei Zhuang.

"Senior Brother, you win. Kill me or flay me, as you wish!"

After being defeated, Wei Zhuang showed not a trace of dejection, and instead spoke generously to Gai Nie.

"Xiao Zhuang, you simply take victory and defeat too seriously!"

After speaking, Gai Nie directly Sealed Wei Zhuang's cultivation and handed him over to the Mo Family disciples for guarding, while he himself went to assist Gao Jianli.

"Young Master, even Wei Zhuang has been captured alive by the enemy. This plan to seize the Mo Family rebels has already failed. We must retreat quickly, or we really might not be able to leave!"

Li Si, who had been watching the battle from afar, saw Jing Ni and Wei Zhuang defeated one after another, and hurriedly said to Fu Su.

Fu Su could also see the situation on the battlefield clearly. He knew that if they continued fighting, they might truly be wiped out, so he immediately agreed to Li Si's suggestion.

"Prime Minister Li, then let us retreat. I never expected the Mo Family and Little Sage Village to be so powerful — even Liusha and Luo Net joining forces were defeated by them!"

And Li Si, upon hearing Fu Su agree to retreat, immediately issued the order to withdraw.

"Prime Minister Li, Young Master Fu Su, since you have already come to my Little Sage Village, why not stay?"

However, just as they were about to retreat, Xun Zi's figure appeared before them, and he said to them with a smile.

"Teacher, I never expected you to make a move personally. Teacher, do you wish to keep your student and the Young Master here?"

Seeing that it was Xun Zi, Li Si said with some shock. He had not expected that this time it would draw Xun Zi to act personally.

"Hehehe, this old man does not dare to be addressed as Teacher by Prime Minister Li. You were about to annihilate my Little Sage Village — if this old man did not step in, it would be rather inexcusable!"

Hearing Li Si's words, Xun Zi said to him with a smile.

"Sigh, have them all stand down. I will go with you, Teacher."

Li Si sighed, ordered the men protecting them to withdraw, and said to Xun Zi.

He knew that with Xun Zi's strength, keeping them here would be the easiest thing in the world.

Immediately, Li Si and Fu Su led their people and followed Xun Zi into Little Sage Village.

At this time, within Little Sage Village, the great battle had also ended. All the people Li Si had brought were completely annihilated by the Mo Family and Little Sage Village.

Among them, the Luo Net Heaven-rank assassins, apart from Jing Ni, were all slain by the group.

As for the Liusha people, they were all captured alive. Their cultivations had been Sealed, and they were now waiting for Xun Zi's arrival.

"Teacher, all those who came to my Little Sage Village this time have been completely Extinguished, and the people entrusted by His Majesty have all been captured alive by us!"

Seeing Xun Zi enter with Li Si and Fu Su, Fu Nian said to him excitedly.

"Not bad. Tell the disciples to pack up; we'll set out tomorrow to head for Shangjun and rendezvous with His Majesty and the others."

Hearing Xun Zi's words, everyone nodded with excited faces.

"Master Xun, what is this about?"

Seeing this scene, Li Si was immediately full of confusion, not knowing what they meant.

"There's no harm in telling the Prime Minister of a Commandery. We have already defected to the Han Empire, and this operation against you is also His Majesty's Imperial Edict."

Xun Zi heard Li Si's words and said to him with a smile.
