Chapter 283: 160, not a single heretical rebel is left.
Fan Longhe's gaze dropped low, firmly believing he was bound to die, he couldn't help but continue to mock.
"Hmph, how great powers act is beyond my guesses, but since Leiyin Temple has intentions on taking Tongling, how could we not be fully prepared? Xuzhou, at most, would send troops from Wanyang County. With the large army of the Great Luo Sect and your additional more than ten thousand Mansion Army, with Master Yuan Kong and the experts of The Righteous Path here, we just need to defend Tongling. What can Xuzhou's army do!"
"Father!"
As if to confirm the words of Ding Buhai, just as he finished speaking, a voice came from the eastern city, and he turned his head, instantly revealing a look of joy.
A young figure sped from the eastern city, it was none other than Ding Peng, who had previously led those five thousand Great Luo Sect Members and was the first to enter the city.
Seeing behind Ding Peng, there followed more than three thousand Martial Artists dressed in Great Luo Sect attire, a vast dark mass slowly approaching. Ding Buhai, Ding Dian, Peng Ling, and even those rebel soldiers under Peng Ling showed a hint of smiles on their faces.
They all knew they had thrown their lot in with Ding Buhai, and since Ding Buhai was from Leiyin Temple, these more than three thousand people under Ding Peng were now their own. With these people joining in, those seven thousand Mansion Army soldiers were no longer a concern.
On the other hand, Fan Longhe, Gui Yutang, Fan Zhendong, and the seven thousand plus Mansion Army soldiers below all showed a color of death on their faces.
Observing the more than three thousand Great Luo Sect Members, Ding Buhai's eyes revealed a hint of contemplation. Looking at his son Ding Peng, who was approaching, he said gravely, "It seems, the previous demon army and those vines from the Blood Demon caused our forces substantial losses!"
The approaching Ding Peng paused slightly, then nodded, a somber look appearing on his face, and said, "Father your wisdom is profound. The Sect Members and I resisted desperately to barely preserve these forces. Knowing you were in a major battle at the eastern gate, we immediately rushed over!"
Ding Buhai nodded. This was indeed within his expectations, but he quickly adjusted his mindset, looking down below, slowly revealing a smile on his face.
As things developed to this point, they seemed to have already become quite clear...
With Ding Peng leading more than three thousand Great Luo Sect Members, plus the more than three thousand rebels under Peng Ling and the seven thousand Mansion Army, the numbers were now even. Fan Longhe, Fan Zhendong, and Gui Yutang were down to one dead end path, and with the Mansion Army lacking a leader, even if some of them were fiercely loyal, it would not affect the overall situation.
From then on, other than the supreme Confucianism and Taoist Expert in the sky and those six masters, the biggest force within Tongling City was now in Ding Buhai's hands.
There was no need to worry about the great powers. As long as Master Yuan Kong, the Zen Master, could handle Master Fanyin, the allegiance of Tongling had already become clear...
Even if Xuzhou's army arrived, it couldn't change anything!
Ding Buhai's mind was filled with myriad thoughts, a tint of joy rising on his face, unknowing that his son "Ding Peng" who was originally approaching him, had suddenly changed direction midway and quietly moved towards Ding Dian's position.
These subtle changes were not felt by Ding Buhai, but Ding Dian certainly felt them. He thought Ding Peng was coming to greet him because he was sandwiched in between them; to reach Ding Buhai, Ding Peng had to pass by him.
Thinking that he was now working under Ding Buhai, Ding Dian lifted his head slightly and squeezed out a stiff smile at Ding Peng.
After all, he was a Grandmaster of the Four Realms, and with Ding Peng merely being in the Dan Embracing Phase, him taking the initiative to greet was already showing much face to Ding Buhai.
However, when Ding Peng was less than ten meters away, his gaze suddenly hardened and his aura shook. A ferocious ape silently formed behind him.
In front of all eyes, "Ding Peng" suddenly pulled out a golden staff about a meter long from his Sea of Consciousness, leaped into the air, and smashed it directly toward Ding Peng.
"Traitors and rebels, not one left alive, kill them all!"
What do you think?
