Chapter 552 The Ancient Warlords
Chapter 552 The Ancient Land of the Feudal Lords
News of the Azure Dragon Gate spread throughout the entire Angu Kingdom overnight.
The name of Leng Zun has resounded throughout the country, and everyone holds this suddenly rising god-like figure in awe.
The residence of a feudal lord in the eastern part of Angu Kingdom.
Gu Yifang sat in the hall, his expression gloomy, holding a teacup in his hand, but he did not take a sip for a long time.
"My lord, we've found out. The young master's death was caused by a woman, and it's said that this woman had an unusual relationship with Leng Zun." A servant hurriedly walked in.
"Hmph!" Gu Yifang was somewhat annoyed. He knew his son best. It must be that Gu Tianjiao had gone out to flirt with other women again, but he was just unlucky and had provoked the wrong person.
Even so, Gu Yifang would not let the other party off the hook.
"What is Yaocheng's attitude?" Gu Yifang asked.
The servant respectfully replied, "Right now, in Medicine City, it's completely the Wang family that holds power. However, it's very clear that the Wang family is on Leng Zun's side."
Upon hearing this, a dark look appeared on Gu Yifang's face.
“In that case, we will send troops to attack Medicine City tomorrow,” Gu Yifang said coldly.
The servant's heart skipped a beat: "My lord, that's Medicine City. Shouldn't we think this over?"
"Hmph, so what if it's Medicine City? I, Gu Yifang, have dominated Angu Kingdom for many years. Do you think I care about Medicine City?" Gu Yifang's words were filled with an air of dominance.
The servant nodded and continued, "But Lord Marquis, the ancient family's treasure in the back mountain is about to appear out of nowhere. Wouldn't it be too risky to send everyone out at this time?"
It turns out that a beam of spiritual light recently shot into the sky from the back mountain of the Gu family. This celestial phenomenon proved that a treasure was about to appear out of nowhere. Legend has it that it was an ancient sword of the Gu family, with immense power.
Although the Gu family has tried to keep the news under wraps, secrets don't stay hidden forever.
Therefore, when the treasure appears, the back mountain of the Gu family will definitely be a lively place, and there will be no shortage of battles.
At this time, Gu Yifang sent out all his troops, which really puzzled the servants.
Gu Yifang naturally had his own ideas: quality over quantity in warfare, and the competition for the treasures in the back mountain depended on strength, not numbers.
At the same time, sending troops out can also deceive people and mislead those who are eager to make trouble.
Although the servant did not understand Gu Yifang's actions, he eventually complied. In his mind, only someone like Gu Yifang had the courage to attack Medicine City during such a turbulent time.
……
Leng Yun and Long Nu were having tea with Old Wang when Lin Dong and the others suddenly walked into the room.
"Lord Leng, Elder Wang, something terrible has happened! Gu Yifang has sent troops to attack our Medicine City!" Lin Dong said.
Old Wang was slightly startled upon hearing this news: "What? Gu Yifang really dares to make a move against our Medicine City?"
In the Kingdom of Angu, although most of the people in Medicine City are alchemists and their strength is slightly weaker, the experts that it can mobilize are no less powerful than any other force.
Even the royal family would be wary of Medicine City.
Moreover, the recent rumors about the treasures hidden in the back mountain of the Gu family have puzzled Elder Wang. Why would Gu Yifang send troops at this time?
Leng Yun showed no surprise whatsoever.
When he learned that the Dragon Girl had killed Gu Tianjiao, he already anticipated that Gu Yifang would send troops to deal with them.
"Did Gu Yifang come in person?" Old Wang asked.
"Probably not," Lin Dong said.
Hearing this, Old Wang chuckled and said, "I never expected that Gu Yifang would have such courage."
Lin Dong asked curiously, "Old Wang, what do you mean—"
Before Elder Wang could speak, Leng Yun said calmly, "Gu Yifang's dispatch of troops is just a smokescreen. Those who are still observing will definitely think the news of the treasure is untrue when they see that the Gu family dares to clear their own doorway."
"This reduces a lot of trouble for the Gu family in their treasure hunt, while Gu Yifang can kill two birds with one stone: he can both attack Medicine City and secretly find the treasure."
After Leng Yun finished speaking, she took a sip of tea.
Old Wang was slightly surprised. He was known for his shrewdness and had decades of experience.
On the contrary, Leng Yun, at such a young age, is actually so shrewd, able to see through Gu Yifang's scheme with a single sentence. Such cunning is truly remarkable.
Thinking of this, Old Wang felt even more awe for this cold-hearted man.
"So what do we do now?" Lin Dong asked.
Old Wang didn't say anything, but turned to look at Leng Yun, his meaning clear: he wanted Leng Yun to make the decision.
Leng Yun said calmly, "I'll go to the back mountain alone and rob the treasures there first."
Leng Yun would naturally not pass up such an opportunity to gain experience points and level up.
Then, Leng Yun turned to look at the Dragon Girl.
"You want me to stay here again and deal with those boring people?" The dragon girl raised her eyebrows, looking somewhat displeased.
Leng Yun smiled slightly: "There's no other way, I can only rely on you."
The Dragon Girl rolled her eyes at Leng Yun: "If it weren't for waiting for you to refine pills for me, who would want to listen to your arrangements?"
The two flirted and teased each other, which made Lin Dong and the others feel a pang of jealousy.
Even someone as composed and unperturbed as Old Wang couldn't help but secretly fall for the Dragon Girl when he saw her lingering gaze.
......
Since Leng Zun appeared in Angu Kingdom, one major piece of news after another has emerged in the country.
The deaths of Sun Ruhai and the three young masters, the destruction of the Azure Dragon Gate, and now Gu Yifang is attacking Medicine City.
It seems that all of this is related to this cold-hearted lord.
And in an instant, Medicine City once again became the focus of everyone's attention.
Besides the army of Gu Yifang, many other people were also heading towards Medicine City.
They wanted to get a closer look at the battle between these two colossal creatures from the Angu Kingdom.
Meanwhile, many others came to lend their support at the invitation of the alchemists in Medicine City.
For a time, it seemed that all eyes in the Kingdom of Angu were focused on the direction of Medicine City.
Unbeknownst to everyone, as they rushed toward Medicine City, a beam of azure light flew out from the city, heading in the opposite direction.
Leng Yun flew in the air for about half an hour before finally landing on the back mountain of the Gu family.
Even before they reached the sky, Leng Yun had already detected a faint spiritual aura, which pointed straight up like a pillar of light.
The spiritual energy is very abundant, which means that the baby is about to be born.
In addition, Leng Yun could also sense a powerful force protecting the treasure.
If he wasn't mistaken, it was a high-level magical beast that had been attracted by the treasure's spiritual energy and was greedily absorbing it.
To avoid attracting attention, Leng Yun landed halfway up the mountain and walked towards the treasure at the summit.
The mountains and forests are lush and verdant, appearing to be a peaceful place.
However, Leng Yun's spiritual power had already detected that he was not the only expert hiding in the mountains and forests.
