My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

Ok?

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, the old man leading the group's anger deepened.

Indeed, as one of the elders of the Hidden Edge Sect, he has always been respected within the sect.

at the moment……

How dare a young man in his early twenties tell him to mind his own business?!

Are you kidding me?!

This kid's got some nerve!

"so……"

The old man looked at Jiang Xiaobai, his voice icy as he said, "Did you cause all this?"

"So what if it is!?"

As Jiang Xiaobai spoke, Zhang Xinnian behind him waved to the soldiers around him.

Click!

Amidst the resounding clang, the shells were swiftly loaded into the breech.

Immediately afterwards, the cannons turned around, their dark barrels aimed at the old man and his companions.

That's right, as long as Jiang Xiaobai speaks, they will immediately set things on fire.

Upon seeing this, Yu Shangwu's scalp tingled instantly, and he hurriedly winked at the old man.

The old man clearly didn't understand Yu Shangwu's meaning. After staring at him for a moment, his expression turned even more unpleasant: "No, Yu Shangwu, are you blind?"

"What are you doing, winking and making faces at me like that!"

"Oh, Heavenly Lord!"

Yu Shangwu gave a wry smile, glanced at the cannons, and said, "I advise you, you'd better not get involved in this!"

After speaking, Yu Shangwu looked at Jiang Xiaobai's side again.

That's right. Putting aside those cannons, the Eldest Princess is still guarding Jiang Xiaobai's side.

With such a commotion, apart from their sect leader coming in person, the rest... probably wouldn't be able to make a difference!

"Hmph, if we don't do something about it, this place might just turn on us!"

Feng Jitong snorted coldly and looked at Jiang Xiaobai again: "What kind of status does a mere junior have to dare to speak to an old man like this!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled after hearing this, but did not reply. Instead, he retreated step by step.

That clearly means they're not going to chat anymore.

As Feng Jitong watched Jiang Xiaobai retreat further and further away, his brows furrowed immediately: "Wait, what do you mean by leaning back like that?"

As he was speaking, Feng Jitong suddenly paused again.

Indeed, he noticed that the martial arts practitioners who had been watching the spectacle from the sidelines dispersed to both sides as Jiang Xiaobai stepped back.

Some of the slower runners were even pushed twice by the people behind them.

Even martial spirit is quietly retreating.

Feng Jitong and the others behind him stood there, their expressions increasingly puzzled.

No, what's going on?

What are the people here hiding from?

Yu Shangwu retreated halfway, still somewhat reluctant, and looked at Jiang Xiaobai, saying, "Young Master Jiang, this is Elder Tian of our Cangfeng Sect!"

"How about you do me a favor and let him have his way?"

"Yu Shangwu!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Jitong turned to look at Yu Shangwu in disbelief, his face completely filled with anger: "Don't you want to listen to what you're saying?!"

He is the Heavenly Elder of the Hidden Edge Sect.

Right now, Yu Shangwu is actually making a junior give way to him?

When these words reach the Hidden Peak Sect, where will he put his old face?

"My lord, I'm only doing this for your life!"

Yu Shangwu's lips twitched, and he continued to advise, "You'd better say less!"

Feng Jitong frowned deeply, finally sensing that something was wrong.

But when he looked around, he didn't find anything else besides those strange iron lumps.

Upon hearing Yu Shangwu's words, Jiang Xiaobai stopped in his tracks.

After a slight hesitation, Jiang Xiaobai turned her head to look at the princess beside her and said, "What do you think?"

"Oh, whatever you mean!"

The eldest princess replied calmly.

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and smiled.

That's right, if this woman says it depends on his intentions, doesn't that mean she's on his side?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Yu Shangwu, whose face was full of tension, and ultimately did not retreat any further.

"Fine, whatever!"

Jiang Xiaobai waved to Zhang Xinnian and said, "Fire a cannon on a distant mountain, let this old man in the sky hear the bang!"

"And while you're at it, see if he can speak... a little nicer!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhang Xinnian was overjoyed and immediately pushed the cannon, aiming the barrel at a distant hilltop.

Then, the tinderbox was opened and lit directly on the fuse.

laugh!

As the flames rapidly burned along the tinder, the martial arts practitioners around them all showed expressions of tension, and some even used their internal energy to protect their ears.

Feng Jitong didn't notice any of this, and continued to stare coldly at Jiang Xiaobai, saying, "Kid, I don't care who you are..."

He had only spoken halfway when a burst of fire suddenly erupted from the cannon barrel.

boom!

The terrifying explosion instantly drowned out Feng Jitong's voice.

The shell shot out horizontally and landed on a distant hilltop in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, large sections of the mountain rocks exploded, billowing smoke and dust into the sky, and rubble mixed with soil continued to roll down the mountain.

The entire ground shook.

hiss!

Feng Jitong gasped, swallowing back what he was about to say.

His mouth was open, and he didn't close it for a long time.

Meanwhile, after firing the first shot, Zhang Xinnian directed several soldiers to turn the cannon back around.

click!

The dark cannon barrel was once again aimed at Feng Jitong.

Feng Jitong looked at the iron lumps around him, and cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

He now understood why there had been thumping sounds coming from the mountains earlier.

Now I understand why this place is so bumpy and uneven.

Most importantly, just as Jiang Xiaobai retreated, everyone around him also retreated.

emotion……

Did this kid specifically make room to blast him with this thing?

Thinking of the mountain that had just been blown open, Feng Jitong felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

His internal strength is profound, but can his physical body be harder than that mountain rock?

He might be able to avoid one door, but right now there are so many doors, all aimed at him.

If that explodes...

"My Lord, please give in!"

The man who followed behind wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said in a low voice, "We can't withstand so many metal lumps erupting at once!"

"..."

Feng Jitong's face twitched, feeling the gazes around him, and his face burned with embarrassment.

A moment later, Feng Jitong looked at Jiang Xiaobai and snorted coldly, saying, "Kid, I admit, this thing of yours... does have some power!"

"But... I am, after all, a Heavenly Elder of the Hidden Edge Sect. How could I be afraid of you? I will cripple you with a single palm strike right now!"

Just then, Feng Jitong suddenly paused, raised his hand and slapped his forehead: "Oh dear, I suddenly remembered that I have some urgent business to attend to!"

"Hmph, I'll deal with you after I've taken care of this urgent matter!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Jitong didn't give Jiang Xiaobai a chance to respond. He unleashed a burst of internal energy and his figure rushed quickly into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, they rushed out dozens of feet.

"Well...we also have something urgent to attend to!"

The men following behind, seeing that Feng Jitong had run away, dared not stay any longer and hurriedly chased after him.

In a short while, the group had vanished without a trace...
