Chapter 479: Utterly Absurd

No one had anticipated this sudden change.

Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Qin Zhangfeng and Pei Qianyun blocked his path at the very first moment.

"You, you, you—what are you doing? This is an insult to civility, an insult to civility!"

Wang Chao was furious.

For the dignified Wangbei Academy to allow three thousand armored soldiers to sneak up the mountain—this had never happened in history. He prided himself on his control over every mechanism and passage in the Academy, believing it had reached a state of perfection.

But he never expected that it was someone from within his own Academy who led these people up the mountain!

It was impossible to guard against!

"Old man, shut your mouth!"

Chen Jin looked over coldly and rebuked: "My younger brother studying at your Academy was giving your Academy immense face! You should be grateful, yet because of a momentary mistake, you expelled him, and he ended up dying miserably in Liangshan. For this matter, the Academy must also give me an explanation!"

After saying this, he waved his hand, and several Archers fired arrows simultaneously; *bang, bang, bang*, those arrows landed neatly at Wang Chao's feet.

The entire crowd's expressions changed drastically, and they were filled with righteous indignation.

Humiliation!

This was absolutely blatant humiliation!

Yet, although this Academy had a crowd of several thousand, they were all people without the strength to truss a chicken. Only the Second Senior Brother was a person of high martial arts skill, so naturally, they could only swallow this insult.

They cursed loudly.

They launched a verbal and written attack.

But this would only provide these Nanzhao Barbarians with more capital to be arrogant and domineering.

The entire Square was in chaos.

"Young Master, I..."

Pei Qianyun could not watch any longer; his eyes widened in anger and he was about to strike, but was stopped by Liu Zheng.

Granted.

These three thousand men of the Nanzhao Army were certainly not arranged by the Academy on purpose. But Liu Zheng believed that since this Academy had been able to stand here safely for so many years, it was impossible for it to become helpless because of such a small, sudden incident.

They still had their own trump cards!

At this moment, Liu Zheng did not want to interfere in this matter.

Sure enough.

Just at this moment, the disheveled Third Senior Brother, Mo Chen, walked out with a frown. He looked at Chen Jin on horseback indifferently: "Who are you?"

The whole crowd was stunned.

Liu Zheng almost laughed out loud.

So, after all these people have finished cursing, you still don't know who this person is? Or where he came from?

This person is truly...

That Chen Jin also had a flash of anger in his eyes: "This Prince is the Crown Prince of the Nanzhao Kingdom, and this time I have come to..."

Mo Chen patted his head, said "Oh," and looked up again at Chen Jin, triumphantly: "Do you dare to step back three paces?"

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Chen Jin almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

That's it?

"Do you dare?"

Mo Chen chuckled.

Chen Jin laughed loudly: "Why would I not dare?"

He led his men and stepped back three paces.

The scene.

Was silent for a moment, somewhat awkwardly.

Mo Chen smiled proudly, then stomped his feet.

Wow!

Could there be a mechanism?

Liu Zheng felt excited along with him.

However, the next moment...

The entire Square remained completely still.

Mo Chen blinked and muttered, "Oh no..."

Then, he stubbornly looked at Chen Jin again: "Do you dare to step back three more paces!"

This voice.

Echoed across the Square.

And did not dissipate for a long time.

Liu Zheng had a face full of black lines.

"You!"

"Do you dare?"

"Step back three more paces!"

When Xie Ling received the letter from Zheng Fu, he jumped up.

Xie Chan...

Twenty years old...

A boom echoed in his mind!

No wonder...

No wonder the Imperial Father has never designated an heir!

No wonder!

No wonder Liu Dahao of Liangzhou Prefecture and Feng Sanniang are so attentive to Xie Chan! They want to make her their daughter-in-law!

My goodness!

What a massive game of chess!

It really is a massive game of chess!

If the world were to fall into chaos, and he and the Crown Prince both lost their lives in the troubled times, how would those useless princes of Longyan compare to this Governor Liu?

He is already an Imperial Son-in-law!

With the status of Xie Chan, when the time comes, when the time comes...

"Someone, come here!"

Xie Ling jumped up abruptly.

"Your Highness?"

"Call Shi Ke to me!"

"Yes!"

Very quickly.

A man in black walked in quietly.

Xie Ling took a deep breath, and while burning the letter in his hand, he said indifferently: "Liangzhou Prefecture, Xie Chan."

The man in black, Shi Ke, nodded and left quietly once again.

"This is getting interesting..."

Xie Ling laughed heartily: "Xie Fang, oh Xie Fang, with such a major matter happening here, why are you still fussing about in Jinghua, what is the point of that?"

Crack!

The wine goblet in his hand was crushed into pieces by his fierce grip.

It was as if a few crows had flown overhead.

The people from Wangbei Academy all had black lines across their faces.

Third Senior Brother...

Are you actually capable or not?

The people on Chen Jin's side burst into uproarious laughter.

"So what if you retreat three more steps?"

On Mo Chen's side, he stomped his foot again... and then, gritting his teeth: "Do you dare to retreat three more steps!"

Damn it...

Liu Zheng hung his head, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

Was he too confident in this Wangbei Academy? Should he have Qin Zhangfeng pass down an order for his three thousand soldiers at the foot of the mountain to just fly up on Gliders and wipe out this bunch of scum?

Who would have thought.

This Mo Chen was already foolish enough...

But that Chen Jin over there was even more foolish.

At this moment, he was already laughing so hard he was rolling on the floor: "So what if I retreat three more steps?"

"Retreat!"

The corners of Liu Zheng's mouth began to twitch.

He suddenly felt, were these Nanzhao Barbarians all lacking clear heads?

Those Nanzhao armored soldiers, along with Chen Jin, had almost nowhere left to retreat, and at this moment, Mo Chen finally took a deep breath: "Go!"

He stomped his foot violently.

This time, it finally worked.

The entire white marble Square and the chessboard shook violently, swaying in the wind and rain; the black and white Stone Pillars on the board began to change, moving at high speed. At a glance, it looked like the stars shifting in the sky.

The people from Wangbei Academy had already huddled together, crowding against one another.

Looking up, those Stone Pillars moved back and forth, blocking out the sky and sun, and the sky instantly turned black.

Chen Jin was stunned: "What is going on, what is going on!"

His vision was completely blocked, and the white marble beneath his feet began to shake violently. The three thousand armored soldiers instantly lost their combat effectiveness.

Everything went black before his eyes.

Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet vanished.

The Nanzhao armored soldiers, who had been so arrogant just a moment ago, were now swaying and losing their balance, crying out one after another.

Looking back at Liu Zheng and the people from Wangbei Academy, the stars were shifting and the wind and rain were shaking.

In the blink of an eye.

They had already moved from the Square to another open space.

Astonishing!

This time, Liu Zheng was truly astonished by this Mo Chen!

It was clear to see.

The entire mountaintop was already within the coverage of his Mechanism Art.

Opening his eyes, this empty space had become a place for lectures; at this moment, a banquet had already been set, and the crowd laughed heartily as they took their seats in turn.

Where was there any trace of the panic and confusion from just a moment ago?

Liu Zheng looked curiously at Mo Chen: "Sir, those Nanzhao armored soldiers..."

Mo Chen chuckled: "They have already gone down the mountain."

Incredible!
