Chapter 106

All the martial arts masters representing the Changjiang Waterway Alliance had gathered in the Dongting Fortress. Among them was the Changjiang Dragon King Sim Cheon, the Dongting Fortress chief. However, that was not all. They planned to join hands with the Seventy-Two Strongholds of Lulins martial arts masters, who would be getting rid of the Shaolin Temples members, to attack the Wuchang Sword Sect in Wuchang and the Great Ximen Family in Changsha.

Putting aside the Wuchang Sword Sect, it would be difficult to attack the Great Ximen Family, one of the Seven Great Families. Even if the Changjiang Waterway Alliance and the Seventy-Two Strongholds of Lulin mobilized all their masters, they would still find it hard to guarantee victory. Things could have been different if the Three Kings of Changjiang and the Three Kings of Lulin were in peak condition, but only three of those six were still alive.

Nevertheless, they still made ambitious plans to attack the Great Ximen Family because they had faith in the Blood-Crazed Clan and the Myriad Tribulations Clan, both of which were backing them up. For now, however, they had to focus on defeating the Great Ximen Family warriors who were returning from the Wuchang meeting.

The Changjiang Waterway Alliance had sent a man to the Wuchang Port to keep an eye on their targets. After some time, they received a notice that the Great Ximen Familys martial artists had left Wuchang Port yesterday. Since then, they had a constant stream of information regarding the location of the ship that the Great Ximen Familys martial artists were aboard.

A carrier pigeon arrived earlier. The message it brought mentions that the ship will pass through Sanshuikou in an hour. Considering the carrier pigeons travel time, they would have passed through Sanshuikou by now, the person who found the carrier pigeon reported to Sim Cheon, the Changjiang Dragon King.

Sanshuikou was the pathway at the boundary point between Hubei and Hunan Province, and it was where the river split into three sections. Once the ship carrying the Great Ximen Familys martial artists had gone past it, they would only have to travel for half a day more to reach Yueyang. To attack them before they could reach Yueyang, they would have to leave the Dongting Fortress immediately.

Proceed as planned. Mobilize four of the Eight Dragons of Changjiang and their subordinates, Sim Cheon ordered.

Understood.

Within the Great Ximen Familys forces, there was only one Upper Peak Realm master and about ten or so Peak Realm masters. Hence, the Changjiang Dragon King and the Changjiang Shark King, who were Absolute Realm masters, didnt have to make a move themselves. Two of the Eight Dragons of Changjiang should be more than enough to deal with their opponents. Nevertheless, Sim Cheon sent four of them to account for any variables and to overpower the Great Ximen Familys martial artists.

After passing through Sanshuikou, the Great Ximen Familys ship headed toward Yueyang at full speed. However, with Yueyang only a short distance away, two Water Dragon Ships blocked their way. The Water Dragon Ships symbolized the Changjiang Waterway Alliance.

Two Water Dragon Ships have been sighted up ahead! a member of the Great Ximen Family shouted. He was standing watch at the bow of the ship when he discovered the Water Dragon Ship.

They finally took the bait. Tell the martial arts masters that the Changjiang Waterway Alliance has appeared, Ximen Jiong instructed.

As instructed, one of the members immediately went down to the lower deck and informed the Nine Prominent Sects and the Seven Great Families martial arts masters, who were hiding, that the Changjiang Waterway Alliance had appeared.

How many people did the Changjiang Waterway Alliance deploy? Zhuge Long asked the Great Ximen Familys martial artists.

They sent two Water Dragon Ships.

They didnt send all their forces.

If we capture the thieves and interrogate them, well be able to find the Dongting Fortress, Mu-Gun said.

We shouldnt kill everyone, then, Namgung Ho replied.

Thats right. We should prioritize getting the Dongting Fortress location. Everyone, please keep that in mind.

So be it. Lets head out.

While using movement art, Woo-Cheol deflected all the projectiles with his saber. He landed safely at the bow of the Water Dragon Ship.

Without wasting even a moment, Woo-Cheol swung his saber and cut down the thieves near him. Following Woo-Cheol, the Great Huangfu Familys Huangfu Jian and the Great Namgung Familys Namgung Ho crossed over to a Water Dragon Ship as well.

Mu-Gun and Hwang Rei also used a movement art and crossed over to the Water Dragon Ship next to them. Mu-Gun told Hwang Rei not to join this fight, but Hwang Rei had no intention of listening to him. The Water Dragon Ship that they landed on had the four Dragons of Changjiang aboard. Mu-Gun and Hwang Rei immediately rushed at them.

Stop them! Eum-Gwi, the Hong Lake Fortress Chief yelled. In response, the thieves blocked Mu-Gun and Hwang Reis path.

However, Mu-Guns sword and Hwang Reis fist struck them all down one after another. Witnessing their overwhelming martial prowess, the thieves no longer dared stop them. Mu-Gun and Hwang Rei walked past the thieves, who had lost all will to fight, and stood in front of the four Dragons of Changjiang.

Ill take the two on the left.

Ill take the other two, then.

Mu-Gun and Hwang Rei nonchalantly decided who to fight since it did not really matter much. The way the two disregarded the four Dragons of Changjiang made the latter frown. If they just stood around and did nothing after being looked down upon, they could not be called martial arts masters. The four Dragons of Changjiang rushed toward Mu-Gun and Hwang Rei and unleashed powerful attacks that befitted their skills as Upper Peak Realm masters.

Unfortunately, they were up against Mu-Gun and Hwang-Roe. Instead of avoiding the incoming attacks, the two swung weapons. Mu-Guns sword launched countless moonlight sword qi, and Hwang Reis fist released a huge dragon-shaped vajra qi.

The moonlight sword qi and the dragon-shaped vajra qi devoured the space, shattering the attacks in vain and ripping the four Dragons of Changjiang apart. Witnessing their superiors fall in one strike, the thieves completely lost their will to fight. They lay down on the deck, throwing away their weapons and pride.

Mu-Gun and Hwang Rei would have killed all of them since they were not worthy of forgiveness, but Mu-Gun sheathed his sword because the representatives of the Shaolin Temples Ami Clan, the foundation of which was benevolence, were watching. Following Mu-Guns example, Hwang Rei also stopped. The Water Dragon Ship next to the one they boarded was in a similar situation. In the face of Three Absolute Realm masters, the river thieves surrendered, unable to even dream of counter-attacking.

The sight gave a glimpse of the great martial prowess Absolute Realm masters possessed.

After subduing the two Water Dragon Ships, the representatives interrogated their prisoners about the Dongting Fortress location and the number of forces gathered there. It did not take long to discover that the Dongting Fortress was at the archipelago formed in the middle of Dongting Lake, and there were a total of seven hundred people in it. Five hundred of them were elite masters of the Changjiang Waterway Alliance and the remaining two hundred were members of the Dongting Fortress. The two Kings of Changjiang, who were Absolute Realm masters, and the remaining four Dragons of Changjiang, who were Upper Peak Realm masters, were among them.

On the other hand, the Nine Prominent Sects and the Seven Great Families alliance only mobilized a hundred Wuchang Sword Sect martial arts masters and a hundred Great Ximen Family martial arts masters, who were urgently dispatched from Changsha. They only had a total of two hundred people.

The Wuchang Sword Sect and Great Ximen Family warriors were currently gathered in Yueyang. The warriors of the Great Ximen Family had run day and night from Changsha to get to Yueyang without delay. Meanwhile, the Wuchang Sword Sects warriors had moved ahead of the alliances martial artists to avoid the Changjiang Waterway Alliances surveillance, allowing them to reach Yueyang first. All the warriors were on standby and prepared to move as soon as the alliances martial arts masters sent a signal.

The Changjiang Waterway Alliance members gathered in Dongting Fortress far outnumbered the Nine Prominent Sects and Seven Great Families. However, the latter had seven Absolute Realm masters and ten Upper Peak Realm masters. Taking their martial prowess into consideration, they could easily overcome the difference of five hundred people.

Hence, the Nine Prominent Sects and Seven Great Families decided to attack Dongting Fortress immediately after meeting up with the Wuchang Sword Sect and the Great Ximen Familys forces. They had to finish the battle before the Dongting Fortress could detect them and run away.

The Nine Prominent Sects and the Seven Great Families switched from their ship to the Water Dragon Ships, leaving only a few of the thieves to guide the way. They had tied the rest up and transferred them all to the ship they took from Wuchang. While heading to the Dongting Fortress aboard the two Water Dragon Ships, they sent a carrier pigeon to the Wuchang Sword Sect and Great Ximen Familys warriors that had gathered in Yueyang, ordering them to meet up at the entrance of Dongting Lake.

An hour later, the two ships carrying the Wuchang Sword Sect and the Great Ximen Familys warriors met up with the forces aboard the Water Dragon Ships. They then headed directly toward the Dongting Fortress. Despite knowing the Dongting Fortress location, it still wasnt easy to find it due to the huge size of Dongting Lake.

However, the martial arts masters of the alliance did not have to worry about it at all. The river thieves aboard the Water Dragon Ships kindly guided them. With their help, the alliances martial arts masters quickly reached the Dongting Fortress.
