Chapter 96

Except for the patriarchs of the Ten Clans of Zhejiang, nobody else knew about the Four Peerless Wanderers joining the Baek Sword Sect. They kept this information a secret from their allies to deceive the enemy, so not even the Baek Sword Corps knew about it. In the midst of it all, the Zhejiang Martial Alliance martial artists were greatly taken aback when they learned about the extent of Lulins forces, thinking the Zhejiang Martial Alliances power could never defeat their current opponents.

Hence, they wanted to give up their fight against Lulin and leave Hangzhou. Perhaps because their wishes worked, the patriarchs announced that they would no longer fight Lulin and would immediately return to their respective headquarters. The Baek Sword Sect, who took the lead in this fight as the Zhejiang Martial Alliance leader, also decided to retreat.Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.

Only the Clear Sun Sect and the Byeok Sword Manor, which were geographically close to Mount Tianmu, insisted on fighting until the end. Ignoring their decision, the eight other clans left Hangzhou with their respective combat forces. The news swiftly reached the Fury Tiger Stronghold.

Weve received news that eight clans from the Zhejiang Martial Alliance have left Hangzhou.

Jeon Ho-Ik immediately informed Lee Ja-Gyung as soon as he heard the news.

Eight clans from the Zhejiang Martial Alliance have left Hangzhou?

Thats right. Everyone left except for the Clear Sun Sect and the Byeok Sword Manor, which are located close to Mount Tianmu.

Even the Baek Sword Sect left?

That's right.

That means the martial arts master we were worried about is not with them.

Exactly. Thats why they ran away with their tail between their legs. As I told you right from the very beginning, theres nothing to worry about, Kang Mu said with a triumphant look.

Its still too early to be relieved. The Zhejiang Martial Alliance could be playing tricks to lure us in, Ho Cheol-San said, not wanting to make hasty judgments.

Do you think its right for a great warrior of Lulin to be such a worrywart?

Hold your tongue. Im not a worrywart. Im just saying that we should be careful. We have a huge force here, and if something goes wrong with it, the entire Lulin could falter. Cheol-San responded with displeasure.

Chief Ho is right. It still wont be too late to make a move after observing for another day or two, Ja-Gyung said, favoring Cheol-Sans opinion.

Kang Mu was discontented deep down, but he did not show it.

They observed the movements of the clans that had left Hangzhou for two more days, prepared to make a move at any given moment. The eight clans of the Zhejiang Martial Alliance seemed really intent on returning to their respective headquarters, considering they were already three days away from Hangzhou. Even if they tried to go back to Hangzhou now, Lulins forces would get there much faster. The Byeok Sword Manor would already be destroyed before the eight clans could reach Hangzhou.

No longer in doubt, Lulin advanced to Hangzhou with all the forces they had gathered in the Fury Tiger Stronghold. Meanwhile, Mu-Gun and the Four Peerless Wanderers waited for them in Hangzhou with the Byeok Sword Manor. The Baek Sword Corps were also with them.

Their plan was simple. The Baek Sword Corps warriors switched places with the Byeok Sword Manors, disguising themselves as the other. The Byeok Sword Manors warriors then pretended to leave Hangzhou and return to Wenzhou. The Wind Saber Sect did the same with the Clear Sun Sect. They played this trick to leave behind the clan that possessed the strongest combat forces within the Zhejiang Martial Alliance, namely the Baek Sword Sect, Byeok Sword Manor, and Wind Saber Sect.

Meanwhile, they got a report about Lulins full force marching to Hangzhou. The martial artists of the three clans in the Byeok Sword Manor trembled with fear after hearing the news. However, when they learned that the Four Peerless Wanderers, who participated in the war against the Hell-Blood Demon Sect, were with them, and that this situation was deliberately created to lure in Lulins forces, they immediately regained their composure.

Lulins forces reached the West Lake as the Zhejiang Martial Alliances martial artists in the Byeok Sword Manor camped out in Mount Wu, located east of the West Lake. Lulins forces numbered around three hundred, while the Zhejiang Martial Alliances forces were around four hundred. In terms of numbers alone, the Zhejiang Martial Alliance was superior.

However, one Absolute Realm master could make up for that difference. Lulins forces, which camped west of the West Lake, were baffled when they saw the Byeok Sword Manor and the Clear Sun Sect, which camped opposite them, seemingly prepared to confront them.

What on earth are they holding onto thats giving them the determination to fight us?

Why dont we make a bet today too? Yang Cheol-Gon suggested while holding his saber over his shoulder.

The Four Peerless Wanderers always made a bet on who would take down the most enemies every time they fought.

Lets leave this guy out. Han Baek pointed to Mu-Gun.

Naturally. What should we bet on? Hwang Rei asked.

How about losers buy drinks at the West Lake House, the best brothel in Hangzhou?

Dont you ever get tired of drinking? Jin Yoo-Sung asked in amazement when Han Baek made an obvious suggestion.

Theres nothing else to bet on anyway. We cant bet money, and its not like we can bet on women at our age, can we?

What are you talking about? Whats wrong with looking for a womans comfort at our age? Are we no longer men now that were old? Hwang Rei lashed out in a fit of rage.

Ah right, I forgot about you. How about losers pay for alcohol and women at the West Lake House, then?

Great, then Im in.

When Han Baek included women along with alcohol in the bet, Hwang Rei immediately agreed.

What about you two?

Do as you please.

Same for me.

Yoo-Sung and Cheol-Gon also agreed.

Everyone, get ready, Mu-Gun told the Four Peerless Wanderers, as he observed Lulins forces, which were now only three hundred feet away.

The Four Peerless Wanderers quickly stopped their antics and got ready for combat.

Here we go!

Maintaining a battle formation, Mu-Gun charged toward the warriors of Lulin. The Four Peerless Wanderers fell behind, immediately charging forward as well upon realization.

Everyone, attack!

Annihilate Lulin!

Following in Mu-gun and the Four Peerless Wanderers footsteps, the Zhejiang Martial Alliances warriors also began to charge toward the warriors of Lulin.

Kill them all!

The warriors of Lulin did not back down. They rushed toward the Zhejiang Martial Alliances warriors, signaling the start of the Battle of West Lake, which would go down the records as the first battle between the Zhejiang Martial Alliance and the Seventy-Two Strongholds of Lulin.
