Chapter 7: White Lotus

The person returned to the front line and asked the leader, "What did Ma Wu say on the other side"

Xue Yun led the members of the Xue family, all of whom were equipped with full iron armor; these individuals were the lifeblood of the military aristocracy. In contrast, the opposing side had only a few dozen wearing soft armor, with not a single set of iron armor among them. A dozen or so were mounted on horses, and these individuals constituted the core of this group

If the elder is defeated, the opponent may not easily let us go

The leader of the Chézhèn faction dispatched over 500 individuals to confront Xue Yun and his group, leaving only 100 to monitor the more than 100 servants and bodyguards of the Qian family.

The intelligence conveyed states that the Qian family in Jiangnan is merely a second-rate family in the south, and in the north, there is only the Xue family, which has also lost its prominence, as the Xue family has long since declined

That person seemed a bit embarrassed: "We certainly do not wish to kill anyone; your few people cannot withstand our killing. It would be better to let it go."

The hall master turned to a thin old man beside him and said, "Elder Wang, please give us your advice."

"Fighting General, I will ensnare him with words. If we win, we will eliminate them all; if we lose, we will leave the wealth to them, but we must ensure the safety of our followers. These individuals are the foundation of our success in the affairs of the sect and literature."

Xue Yun was so angry that she laughed; "Isn't that our goods that you have taken for nothing"

No. This time everyone answered in unison

Xue Yun: "You have stolen our goods, and yet you ask us who we are"

There are approximately six hundred people outside the convoy. Perhaps due to a shortage of mules and horses to pull the carts, all the horses have been used to draw the large carts, resulting in a lack of riders within the convoy

Xue Yun: "Eliminate all the white lotus bandits across from us, and the spoils will be shared among everyone. The more enemies you kill, the greater your share. Does anyone have any questions?"

The remaining enemies hurriedly brought over a dozen mule-drawn carts, intending to form a barricade against the attack from Xue Yun and his group. As Xue Yun and his companions circled back, Xue Er shouted, "Everyone, get the horses running, surround them and shoot arrows, quickly, quickly!"

Xue Yun observed that although the opposing formation lacked weapons, their ranks remained orderly and their spirits were high. They were significantly stronger than the previous group. At this moment, the person from the opposing side had approached to within a hundred paces, stopped, and inquired: "Who are you, and why are you killing our people"

How many refugees can these resources arm, Elder

Under the storm-like rain of arrows, the number of people on the road confronting hetushucomcom dwindled. When the last three riders charged in front of Xue Yun, Xue Er and the others surrounded them, killing them with a flurry of blades. One of the leaders, in his final moments, shouted: "Why, why does the Mother of No Life not protect us, why..."

Xue Yun gathered the Ding family together and asked, "How is everyone? Is anyone injured?"

No

Xue Yun: "You have finally found your conscience. Heaven has a benevolent nature; quickly return my goods. Young master will spare your lives, so get lost at once."

Xue Yun shouted to everyone: "Is there any problem with killing all the white lotus bandits across the way and reclaiming the goods from the large cart"

Three stones

"Master Luo, these talents in our hands are the foundation of our sect. Sacrificing them for these possessions would harm the great cause of our sect"

One hundred individuals in the second row stood at attention, all holding long rifles. Behind them, three rows were armed with knives, clubs, and various other weapons, including long bamboo spears and hoes. The last group consisted of the leaders.

What does the term "elder" mean

Xue Yun and his companions rode their horses swiftly, while arrows rained down around them. The remaining enemies numbered only about seventy or eighty. With a volley of arrows, another ten or so fell. Due to the lack of shields and armor, those standing on the ground formed a circle to protect the dozen or so riders inside.

Xue Yun and his team were essentially hitting their targets without fail. The opposing side was inadequately prepared, consisting mostly of hastily assembled troops, and in a short time, nearly a hundred of them were shot down, with the remaining hundred fleeing in disarray. Xue Yun's first charge was as smooth as a hot knife through butter; he single-handedly shot down seven or eight individuals, and during this initial assault, over thirty more enemies fell.

Fortunately, the person who just died was a remnant of Xu Hongru, a group of capable individuals who also wanted to share in the spoils. The young general opposite us is quite formidable; I plan to capture him and eliminate them all together. If that fails, the enemy cavalry is quite fierce, and we may not be able to escape.

"Master Luo, look at the warriors across from us; each one has been through countless battles. They are unlike any I have ever seen. The master of this troop is not to be underestimated, and fighting against this team seems to hold no chance of victory."

The line of vehicles opposite had long since come to a halt, busy organizing the convoy. For some reason, they did not send troops to rescue. Even if they wanted to send help, it would only be infantry, and there would not be enough time. However, the lack of military support also raises doubts about the unity within the White Lotus Society

The emaciated old man pondered for a moment and said, "This time, the matter was handled poorly; the owner of the goods has a strong backing. How come the investigation did not yield this information?"

Xue Er: "There are three good things, and the injuries are not severe, so there are no major issues"

That person turned back to the formation. Xue Yun instructed Qian Kai to contact the Qian family’s forces to prepare for a two-pronged attack, while Xue Er also urged everyone to take the opportunity to rest and give the horses some water

Xue Yun and his companions rode swiftly around the track three times, while the remaining forty or so enemies encircled could not withstand the assault. Ultimately, they all met their fate at the hands of Xue Yun and his group. At that moment, a dozen riders in the circle charged forward, shouting: "Future World, Vacuum Hometown, Lifeless Old Mother, Early Birth to Ultimate Bliss." They led all the remaining individuals to charge towards Xue Yun without hesitation.

The last group of leaders stepped out from the formation and stood in front of it. As they watched Xue Yun and the others approach, when Xue Yun and his group were about two hundred steps away, they saw someone emerge. Xue Yun then called for everyone to stop.

The convoy opposite is quite large, consisting of more than 150 vehicles, forming a large circle. Inside the circle, there are estimated to be over 200 people, likely including drivers and the elderly or infirm.

Master Luo certainly needs to offer some benefits to the other party

More than 500 people formed a long rectangular formation, with the first row consisting of 100 individuals, some holding shields, some holding wooden boards, and others crouching there with pot lids.

Is the elder intending to leave the possessions of the twenty large carts, which do not belong to them, to them

At the border between Hejian Prefecture and Nangpi County of Cangzhou, there are three ordinary large stones. This place is renowned as the site of the first battle of the "God-Slaying" Xue Yun, and the originally nameless location has since been referred to as the Three Stones, becoming a must-visit destination for future generations to pay their respects.

You have killed our people, and I do not wish to say much more. With only this few of you, it would be better for us to keep to our own ways and go our separate paths.

The ground is covered with corpses, approximately two hundred in number, scattered among more than twenty large vehicles. The injured, along with some deceased individuals and mules, are there, suffering in agony and wailing.

Xue Yun: "Set off." Xue Er was also very pleased with Xue Yun's performance

The hall master is unwilling to back down; please make a decision quickly, or they will come to attack soon

Did the elder return the property to the other party
