Chapter 24: The Jing Luan Assembly Begins, The Young Master of the Xue Family Is Dead!



Rustling loudly!

At the far end of the camp, a large gate was violently pushed open, revealing the road behind it wide enough for two carriages to pass side by side.

On both sides of the road, high cliffs stretched into the distance.

Two soldiers clad in iron armor stood steadily beside the gate, lifting a grand incense burner.

With a dull thud, the incense burner was set down, stirring up clouds of dust.

Atop the burner, a huge stick of incense as tall as a man stood quietly in the center.

The people in the camp, witnessing this scene, wore faces full of confusion and incomprehension, looking at one another.

Just then, a Great Power lightly pointed while hovering in mid-air.

A surge of extremely hot Qi burst forth like a shooting star across the night sky, igniting the huge stick of incense with pinpoint accuracy.

Flames leapt up, slowly consuming every inch of the incense, a strong fragrance began to permeate throughout the camp.

Suddenly, a powerful voice echoed through the sky like thunder, "Jing Luan Assembly, officially commences!"

"Depart from the camp immediately. By the time a stick of incense burns out, anyone still remaining will be killed without question!"

At these words, the silence and tension within the camp instantly shattered.

A wave of exclamations and panic broke out among the crowd; they were astonished to find the burning speed of the giant incense to be alarmingly fast.

No one knew how long this stick of incense would last.

Thus, the camp turned into a boiling sea, with figures bustling about.

Like a flock of thousands of birds taking flight, each person displayed their utmost physical agility, soaring into the air, rushing into the canyon road in a frantic attempt to gain an advantage in this trial.

"Do not panic, everyone, and come with us. No one knows what will happen at the other end of the road. It's safer to stay together," Prefecture Chief Dou Wenxi shouted loudly.

The spirits of the people from Yongzhou were instantly lifted as they gathered together and pushed forward.

Some people were unwilling to settle, wanting to take to the air and use the terrain to their advantage to cross the canyon quickly.

However, as soon as they ascended, they were hit by streaks of Qi, continuously spitting blood, falling into the crowd with their lives in uncertainty.

"Damn wenches, who allowed you to walk ahead of us?"

The Wang Family guards, carrying a palanquin, stepped through the air, unhappy to see people ahead of them blocking their path, showing their contempt to those who had no sense of etiquette, disdainful of all.

With just this one incident, everyone who had burst out of the camp felt a chill, daring not to rush forward recklessly, instead forming tight groups.

"Follow me closely, let's go."

Shen Qing's voice was light, seemingly unafraid, with a touch of calmness and confidence.

He did not hesitate too much, following closely behind the people of Yongzhou, transforming into a streak of light, joining the surging flow of humanity.

The three people behind him, Shao Hongling among them, followed without hesitation.

Having just taken a few steps, they unexpectedly found three strands of golden light winding around them like silk, relaxing their forms and increasing their speed several times over.

This was Shen Qing using his cultivation to help them escape.

Their faces lit up with joy.

As time passed, the giant stick of incense placed at the entrance of the camp finally burned out.

By then, the camp was empty, leaving behind only spaciousness and silence.

The Great Power floating in mid-air glanced down, checking the timing,

He suddenly threw a punch, his fist wind like a dragon, smashing through the void with cracks like shattered mirrors, the booming sound deafening, the heavens and earth changing color.

Immediately after, the mountains on both sides of the canyon seemed unable to withstand the impact of this force and collapsed thunderously. Experience tales at empire

Massive rocks tumbled down, dust billowed, blotting out the sky.

Hum!

The moment the mountains collapsed, a dazzling golden barrier rose from the tops of the mountain range, reaching into the sky, completely sealing off the retreat path for everyone.

Looking back, they realized there was no turning back, a sense of urgency and crisis the likes of which they'd never felt before arose within them.

Everyone realized that the real battle was about to begin.

Shen Qing, following the group from Yongzhou, rushed out of the deep canyon, and the surrounding scenery suddenly opened up.

His heart gave a sudden alert, and he involuntarily slowed his pace.

At the end of the passageway was a hilly area, small plains and hills of varying height connected together, undulating into the far distance.

And in the open space ahead, an imposing array of martial masters blocked their path.

These people were none other than Xue Bai and his guards.

The slanting sun reflected off the weapons sheathed at their waists, casting a chilling gleam, letting the people of Yongzhou know that Xue Bai had no intention of letting them off easily.

And Shen Qing was also well aware.

Although this Jing Luan Assembly was said to only involve a single city, no one knew how large the area involved would turn out to be.

Once the crowd penetrated deeper, the likelihood of dispersing due to unexpected events increased, making it difficult to keep the people of Yongzhou together.

Xue Bai clearly understood this point, hence he chose this moment to cause trouble while the numbers were still complete.

On the faces of the bystanders around, a schadenfreude smirk emerged, both openly and secretly.

Someone else blocking a Shi family's power was good news for them, as it could relieve a lot of pressure and give them a chance to steer clear of danger and disputes.

Xue Bai, the young master of the Xue Family, stepped out from his palanquin, looked at the people of Yongzhou, and smiled radiantly.
