It has been half a month since the message arrived, during which time Zhang Liyang's three hundred blood pills had been consumed by him like candy."Esoteric sect!"

How could you have angered the secret sect

Inside the large tent, He Houde stared wide-eyed at Zhang Liyang, his eyes filled with astonishment.

He couldn't understand how a good eunuch could have offended someone from the secretive sect.

A disciple of the Bai family joined the Esoteric sect.

"Oh... No wonder."

Upon hearing Zhang Liyang's explanation, He Houde immediately understood.

Although Ho Hau-tak didn't show up or intervene at the time, he knew full well that the three prominent families of Fei Long City had all been personally buried by the person before him.

"Tantric Buddhism, that's a formidable force to be reckoned with." Ho Dik's eyes flashed with a hint of worry and solemnity.

"Do you know anything about esoteric Buddhism"

Zhang Liyang shook his head. "Not very familiar with it."

"I didn't understand it before either," He Houde nodded in understanding, "But since I followed Li Guozhu to attack Flying Dragon City, I've understood a little bit."

"Do you know what Li Guozhu told me before attacking Feilong City"

"What did you say" Zhang Liyang was a little curious.

"Li Guozhu said, 'Feilong City is easy to attack, but as long as the Mi Zong remains, it will be as difficult as reaching the heavens!'"

"Oh" Zhang Liyang was even more curious now. "Then how did you deal with the Mi Sect"

Now that Feilong City is returning to Dayan, it means the mountain of Mi Zong was either conquered or moved at the time.

"It's not us who are dealing with this," Ho Hau-tak shook his head with a wry smile. "It's someone else helping us deal with it."

Have you heard of the Shangqing Palace

"No."

"I didn't have that before either, but on that day I realized, there are so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this world!"

Looking at He Houdé in wonder, Zhang Liyang's face was full of curiosity. "Did Shangqing Dian drive away the secret sect"

To be precise, the focus was on the Qing Palace, with other smaller sects as supporting forces. They engaged in a secret power struggle with the esoteric sect, ultimately driving them back to their stronghold.

After the extermination of the Secret Sect, Li Guozhu led us to conquer Flying Dragon City.

“Shangqing Palace!”

Although Ho Hak-tak only said one simple sentence, Cheung Lai-yuen could still imagine how a group of people and the secret sect were engaged in a life-and-death struggle in the unseen darkness, and how the scene was so exhilarating!

"Getting back to the point," Zhang Liyang said, "General He means that if the Mi Sect retreats, nothing will happen here"

"Half and half, I guess." He Houde shook his head. "The Mi Zong just retreated back to their lair, they weren't completely wiped out."

They are still an overwhelmingly large and terrifying sect!

Upon hearing He Houde's words, Zhang Liyang also sighed helplessly, "That means we still have to follow my plan."

"What's the plan" Ho Hau-tak also wanted to hear how this father-in-law in front of him was going to handle this.

"This is why I came to find General He," Zhang Liyang sat up straight. "I want to borrow three thousand soldiers and horses from General He!"

He Houd's face immediately trembled when he heard Zhang Liyang's words, and a sense of foreboding crept into his heart. "What do you want to do"

"Actually, not many people know about this, but not too few either. We're all our own people, so I naturally trust you guys. That way, things would be very simple. We just need to silence those we can't trust. Even if the Secret Sect wanted to investigate, it would take them a lot of time."

"Do you want to wipe out the entire clan!" Ho De stood up abruptly from his chair, "This is impossible. Besides the court probably wouldn't approve of such an action, a massacre on this scale would be impossible to hide. By then, even if the Divine Sect didn't investigate, anyone could figure out who did it. It's impossible, absolutely not!"

Looking at He Houdé shaking his head repeatedly, Zhang Liyang did not feel disappointed because of He Houdé's refusal, but instead smiled and said, "General He misunderstood my meaning. I didn't say that this matter should be concealed, on the contrary, I will make this matter widely publicized."

"What does that mean"

"Someone assassinated an imperial official, and we are hunting down the culprit. However, the suspect is hiding in Dàokōng Temple. Even with solid evidence, Dàokōng Temple refuses to hand them over!"

Zhang Liyang also stood up, his face solemn and grave. “Assassinating an imperial official is tantamount to treason, and those who privately harbor rebels are equally guilty!”

"General He, we are here to eradicate the rebels. We are doing this for the dynasty, for the common people who yearn for a brighter dawn. Where is there any personal grudge!"

"You..."

Looking at Zhang Liyang, who was full of righteous indignation, He Houde didn't know what to say for a moment.

This is exactly what it means to get even!

Looking at Zhang Liyang's youthful face, He Houde suddenly felt a chill in his heart, "No wonder people say that the eunuchs in the palace are all terrifying and perverted, this is too terrifying..."

To act in the name of justice to avenge one's own private grudge, and to be able to speak so righteously, He Houde felt that even if his face were thick enough, he couldn't do it so naturally.

If Zhang Liyang knew He Houde's inner thoughts, he would surely scoff, "You haven't seen my previous life; these tactics are nothing!"

"General He, when the time comes to apprehend the rebels, you will have made great contributions. Before His Majesty's court, General He will surely be commended again!"

Both revenge and merit can be achieved. Wouldn't you like to

That evening, the Fei Long City border camp grew noisy. Then, with a deafening roar, thousands of elite cavalry riders stirred up clouds of dust and vanished into the night.

According to sources, such a large-scale operation was launched because the trace of a traitor was found, and they went to exterminate him.

After Zhang Liyang told Mu Yinghua about the matter in Xue Lin Garden, he didn't stay and left with Yuan Li and fifty cavalrymen from the Yanshi camp.

"Lao Yuan, after I finish this, I'll give you something good."

"Master, what good thing is it"

Upon the speeding steed, hearing Zhang Liyang say he would give him good things, Yuan Li's eyes instantly lit up.

Although Yuan Li didn't spend much time with Zhang Liyang and his original mission was to be with Mu Yinghua, he felt that being by Zhang Liyang's side was the most important thing.

Don't mention it, in just this short time, I went from a captain to a lieutenant general. The main credit goes to Zhang Liyang for leading us in annihilating those 2,000 cavalrymen of the Ci Lai tribe.

That's real battle merit!

"Haha… Anyway, it's just a good thing. You just wait and see."

Then I'll be looking forward to it.

"Rest assured, I will never disappoint you!"

"Come on, brothers, give it your all and reach our destination before dawn!"

Boom boom boom~

Under the cover of night, three thousand cavalry surged forward like a mighty torrent, their murderous intent soaring to the heavens like a razor-sharp blade, aimed straight at their target!ng Temple.Knock, knock, knock...Even from a distance, before reaching the island temple, Zhang Liyang could hear the deep and distant bell tolls. The sound was so low and resonant that it calmed his m...
