After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 160 Blocking the Road
"Murong Feng, you privately mobilized the Shengzhou garrison and left your post for Linzhou. According to Dali military law, you should be dismissed from your post and imprisoned for investigation."

"If the rest of you do not wish to be executed on the spot, please immediately lay down your weapons, surrender, and confess your crimes!"

The young general in armor shouted in a deep and stern voice, and his voice was clearly transmitted from the city wall to everywhere below, making the ears of the surrounding people buzz and their hearts and livers tremble.

At this time, Murong Feng lifted the carriage curtain with one hand, and looked up at the city wall with his phoenix eyes, but his expression was normal. He said:

"Bai Liwei, today is the day to welcome my younger sister back to the city. I don't want to argue with you. Let your people retreat immediately. I can pretend that nothing happened."

Murong Feng's voice was neither light nor heavy, but it was spread out by the power of his true energy, and it also spread clearly from near to far in all directions.

Hearing this, the young general on the city wall narrowed his eyes and exchanged a glance with the people around him.

The three people standing next to him were all wearing red scale armor made of shark skin and saltpeter, and they were probably between forty and fifty years old.

The three men had black tattoos on their necks that were too numerous to be seen. They had no swords in their hands or on their waists, but only a crescent-shaped handleless curved blade on their backs. Each of them exuded a terrifying aura that kept strangers away.

Baili Wei saw the three people nodding to him, then he turned to look at Murong Feng in the carriage below the city wall and suddenly sneered:

"I am acting in accordance with Dali's military law. Murong Feng, since you are a soldier from Shengzhou, you must obey military orders!"

After saying this, he waved his hand, without saying anything more to Murong Feng, and directly gave orders to the soldiers:

"Capture everyone and kill anyone who dares to resist!"

Seeing this, a fierce look flashed in Murong Feng's eyes. The next moment, he suddenly jumped out of the carriage and stopped in mid-air above the carriage.

At the same time, he raised his hand and flicked it. A cold light appeared in front of him, emitting a gleaming light. Then one light turned into two, two into four...

In an instant, hundreds of needle-like cold rays appeared around Murong Feng's body, and then shot out like a rainstorm.

Baili Wei snorted coldly and ordered:
"Remember to capture him alive. He will be useful if he lives."

At the same time, the three people around him had already made a thundering move.

Three crescent-shaped scimitars flew out from behind him in an instant, as fast as the wind, turning into three blurry afterimages, and almost in the blink of an eye they arrived above Murong Feng's head.

The scimitars spewed out silver blade light that was several feet long, and connected end to end, forming a huge circular blade disk that covered Murong Feng and a group of soldiers.

Driven by the powerful martial arts energy, the blade spun rapidly, creating a whirlwind that soared into the sky. At the same time, rays of sword light flew out, destroying all the dense needles shot by Murong Feng.

Then, the whirlwind of the blade spun faster and faster, and the powerful suction force almost lifted the gorgeous carriage below out of thin air.

The soldiers around could not withstand the suction. Even though they tried their best to resist, their bodies could not help but fly up from the ground and roll into the air.

Murong Feng's whole body was filled with true energy. He glanced at the rotating blade above his head, then looked at the three people around Baili Wei on the city wall, and said coldly:
"'Hu Yue San Cai Swordsman', do you also want to go against my Murong family?"

Upon hearing this, the three people on the city wall did not say a word, but moved, jumped up from the city wall and swooped down, heading directly towards Murong Feng, obviously intending to capture him alive.

Murong Feng's eyes darkened, but there was no fear on his face.

When the three men came close to the carriage, he dropped from mid-air and stood on the roof of the carriage, his ice silk brocade robe fluttering in the wind.

The three men wearing red phosphorus armor had sharp eyes and their hands did not hesitate at all as they grabbed towards Murong Feng.

At this moment, a golden palm print suddenly rushed out from the carriage below and instantly slapped towards the three people who were less than a few inches away from Murong Feng.

Seeing this, the expressions of the three men changed drastically. They had to temporarily give up Murong Feng in front of them and hastily respond to the attack from below.

The three silver scimitars overhead instantly swung their blades, slashing downwards with three space-distorting blade beams several feet long. Simultaneously, the three men exerted their Martial Qi to protect their bodies, resisting the palm prints from below...

At the same time, Baili Wei on the city wall saw this scene, frowned slightly, and said to himself:

"Sure enough, there are still experts hiding around."

Just at this moment, he suddenly turned his gaze and looked towards the city gate.

The next moment, Baili Wei's expression suddenly changed.

But he only saw Hu Ruian and others who were traveling with Murong Feng, and he didn't know when they had already moved on.

After breaking through the siege of hundreds of armored soldiers in front, the wheels rolled forward into the state city among the continuously flying armored soldiers.

The other side neither cared about the obstruction of the Shengzhou Dali army nor paid attention to the attack on Murong Feng in the rear, as if it had nothing to do with the other side.

Baili Wei's heart moved, and he was about to make a move to stop the other party, but at this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew from behind him, and a white-haired old woman appeared beside him and slowly said:

"Sir, the master has sent a message. If things cannot be done, please do not force them. Let our people withdraw temporarily."

Hearing this, Baili Wei glanced at Li Musheng and others who were leaving, frowned, and then turned to look at where Murong Feng was.

At this moment, the three swordsmen, although they managed to resist the sudden attack of the golden palm print and were not seriously injured, had to retreat. The master in the carriage did not show up from beginning to end.

Murong Feng stood on the carriage and was in a standoff with the three swordsmen for a while.

Seeing this scene, Baili Wei pondered for a moment, but finally waved downwards.

Upon hearing the order, the many soldiers below began to retreat slowly, and then retreated in an orderly manner towards the gate of the state city like a tide.

Murong Feng watched all this quietly, without making any move to stop it. He just looked up at Bailiwei on the top of the city wall with a cold expression and said:

"Since your Baili family is willing to be the first to take action, I hope you can withstand the retaliation from the Murong family next time."

Hearing this, Baili Wei just sneered and said nothing more. Then, under the protection of the old woman, he left the city wall and disappeared.

At the same time, the three swordsmen recalled their scimitars, and while watching Murong Feng and the carriage under his feet vigilantly, they carefully retreated into the city gate.

Murong Feng didn't jump down from the carriage until everyone in Bailiwei had disappeared. He glanced at the carriage in front of him, then looked towards the direction of the city gate, frowning for a moment.

"That Lord Hu from Tianjin Guards is quite skilled in martial arts, but he is ruthless in his actions. He only cares about entering the city himself and has no intention of helping us at all."

Murong Feng spoke in a low voice, but an old man's voice was heard from inside the carriage, saying:

"Don't worry about them. Let's go back home first. Today's incident is the Baili family's clear stance on breaking away from the Murong family. It seems that the situation in Shengzhou has changed dramatically in just a few days." Upon hearing this, Murong Feng said calmly with a blank expression on his face.

"The Baili family is submitting their allegiance to that General. Everyone thinks the Murong family is on the decline and wants to get a piece of the action, but the final result will probably disappoint them greatly."

After saying this, he waved his hand, signaling the remaining soldiers to continue moving forward, while he lifted the curtain and entered the carriage.

Soon, armored soldiers escorted the gorgeous carriage into the city, as if nothing had happened.

……

At the same time, Hu Ruian and his group were driving on the main road in the state capital, following the direction pointed by Murong Xiaoya, heading towards the location of the Murong family mansion.

Since being surrounded by those suddenly appearing soldiers, Hu Ruian and others naturally realized that they had suffered the consequences.

Li Musheng had no intention of taking the blame for Murong Feng, so he asked Hu Ruian to lead the way and leave directly to avoid wasting time. He was too lazy to care about Murong Feng and others behind him.

Murong Xiaoya had no objection to this and did not seem to be worried about her brother's safety at all.

Ever since he met Murong Feng, Hu Ruian knew that there was a master hidden in the other party's carriage, so he also knew that the other party would be fine.

Shen Anran always rode a white horse and followed the carriage where Li Musheng was. Along the way, she and Hu Ruian had a very good relationship.

After all, the other party is her cousin, so there is some degree of kinship between them.

Although they were a little unfamiliar at the beginning, as Shen Anran tried to build relationships with everyone, and with Hu Ruian's care, Shen Anran had become quite familiar with almost everyone except Li Musheng.

Even Murong Xiaoya, who suffers from social anxiety, often does not dare to talk to Li Musheng and others, but is occasionally willing to have some private conversations with Shen Anran.

Li Musheng saw all of this. In his eyes, Shen Anran, who was already labeled as a love-brained person, was now labeled as a "scheming girl".

Of course, this "scheming" does not have any derogatory meaning in Li Musheng's view.

After all, it was obvious that the other party was just taking it slow and steady in order to get him.

"Your Highness, it seems we are being followed?"

Just as the carriage was on its way to Murong Mansion, Hu Ruian's expression suddenly changed and he looked at Li Musheng who was sitting opposite the carriage.

Hearing this, Li Musheng waved his hand and said:

"Just follow me. If Lord Hu wants to take care of it, he can do it himself. I don't have the time to meddle in other people's business."

Hu Ruian looked thoughtful, but in the end he said nothing and just let the carriage continue moving forward.

However, when several people crossed an avenue and were turning into another road.

But suddenly he found that the surroundings quickly became quiet, and the vendors and pedestrians on the road were all rushing away, leaving the street in front of him in a hurry.

Wu Shang and Cheng Zhong's expressions changed. They immediately pulled the reins lightly to slow down the horses, while looking around vigilantly.

Cao Gaoshan sat in the front of the carriage, glanced around, narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned to Shen Anran who was following behind him and said:
"There may be danger next. Miss Shen, please try to walk in the middle."

Throughout the journey, Shen Anran's feelings for Li Musheng were obvious, and Li Musheng did not explicitly reject her.

Therefore, in the eyes of Cao Gaoshan, a rough old man, the absence of a clear refusal means an implicit agreement.

Moreover, Shen Anran has a good personality, and he has a good impression of this girl.

At this moment, Wu Shang and Cheng Zhong, who were walking in front, suddenly reined in their horses and stopped.

At some point, a man in gray appeared on the street ahead.

The right half of his face was covered with a bronze mask, his left eyebrow was covered with an iron-gray scab, his beard was tangled, and his temples were white.

He held an iron flute horizontally in his hand, blocking the way for Wu Shang and others.

At the same time, a man appeared behind the carriage that Hu Ruian was riding in. He was wearing bronze armor, a bronze helmet, and holding a copper battle axe in his hand.

He slammed his battle axe down on the ground, and cracks appeared on the bricks and stones, spreading in all directions. The cracking sound was extremely harsh in the empty street.

The two men blocked the road in front and behind Hu Ruian and his group, and judging from the martial arts aura emanating from them, they were both extremely strong.

"As long as you hand over the young lady of the Murong family, you can leave on your own."

At this moment, a voice came from the roof next to them. Wu Shang and the others suddenly reacted and looked up.

But they saw a white-haired old woman and the young man who had appeared on the city wall before, now standing on the eaves, looking down at them.

Seeing this, Wu Shang and the others' faces changed. They obviously didn't expect that after fighting with Murong Feng and others, the other party had no intention of stopping, but instead targeted Murong Xiaoya.

For a moment, everyone looked solemn and turned to look at the carriage behind them.

After all, whether it was the man holding the iron flute and the battle axe, or the old woman and Baili Wei on the roof, they were not people that Wu Shang, Cao Gaoshan and the other two could deal with, so they could only ask for help from Hu Ruian and Li Musheng in the carriage.

After what happened at Zhanlu Villa, Wu Shang and the others had actually realized that Li Musheng must be hiding his martial arts skills, and that his strength must be extremely unfathomable.

They had even heard from Shen Liancheng that the old owner of Zhanlu Villa seemed to have been defeated by Li Musheng.

Although they found it somewhat hard to believe, Hu Ruian's attitude towards Li Musheng forced them to believe it.

The only pity is that they never saw Li Musheng take action from beginning to end.

Unlike Wu Shang and the others, Shen Anran seemed extremely calm and composed at this moment, and even looked at the old woman and the others leisurely.

After all, she had seen Li Musheng take action with her own eyes. He punched her grandfather out of Zhanlu Villa with one punch and even broke through the river next to the villa.

Naturally, these people in front of him could not be compared with his grandfather, and were even less worthy in front of Li Musheng. The so-called blocking of the road by the other party was indeed somewhat ignorant and fearless.

At this time, the old woman glanced at the carriage, and seeing no one responded, she narrowed her eyes slightly and said:
"I know there are experts among you, but this matter involves the feud between the Murong family and various forces in the state capital. It is not something you can interfere with. Please do not make mistakes."
