Chapter 1474: Interception

“Cough!” Hundred Saint suddenly said, “The West Desolate is truly powerful and Rulers can only be seen as lords. For instance, Chen Yuanshen is considered a weaker Ruler but he is the leader of Seascape City. As such, Darkness Ruler, what you lack is only an opportunity for you to take flight. Do not underestimate yourself and lose your will.”

Will power may not seem significant, but it was extremely important and it affected all aspects of a person’s life. Once it was lost, it would be difficult to move forward.

Since he had decided to be on good terms with Qin Yu, Hundred Saint did not want to let his efforts go to waste.

Qin Yu stole a glance at him from under the black robe. He could see the look of concern on Hundred Saint’s face and he could not help feeling guilty.

After all, if Hundred Saint knew what he was thinking of, he would jump out of his seat and slaughter him first!

“Thank you for your reminder.”

The horse carriage fell silent again. Hundred Saint could not think of anything else to say. He had already given his piece of advice and Qin Yu was the only one who could drag himself out and calm himself down.

An extremely vast area separated the Capital Border Area and the capital. The only reason why the capital walls could be seen was because they were very big.

Without any Teleportation Portals together with strict surveillance arrays, the team could only go via the official path obediently.

After leaving Seascape City and entering the capital, things seemed peaceful and relaxing and everyone thought that danger had passed.

However, right at that point, something unexpected occurred!

The horse carriage suddenly stopped. Qin Yu lifted his head and his eyes glowed brightly.

Opposite him, Hundred Saint frowned deeply and looked ahead with his eyes filled with rage.

Trouble!

Sighing deeply, Hundred Saint said, “Stay inside. Let’s not reveal ourselves!” Uncle Jiang was leading the troop but they did not let them off…this was far more dangerous than he expected. Their enemies refused to let them go!

At this point, the person who had the qualifications to stop the troop from advancing was definitely special.

It was the right choice for them to hide themselves in the nest.

The wide pavement that led to the capital was blocked by one person who sat in the middle of the road. There was a square table next to a round chair where he sat.

The furniture was red, matching the long robe he wore.

The seasoned war horses that the knights rode seemed to have smelled something pungent that agitated them. They stomped their feet in protest.

Under the headpiece of the armor, the knights’ eyes glared at the person sipping his tea on the round chair. This man maintained a calm exterior, displaying his elegance.

Once he drank finished his tea, he slammed it down on the table. The man smiled, “Jiang Chengzi, long time no see. I ought to greet you personally.”

The black horse carriage was silent. Then, its doors were pushed opened and the white-haired Jiang Chengzi stood up. His armor propped neatly around him.

One of the knights beside the carriage jumped smoothly off his horse and kneeled down on the ground. Jiang Chengzi nonchalantly used him as a step to get down, “Indeed, long time no see, Blood Flag. I can’t believe you are still alive.”

Blood Flag had stepped down from the army many years ago. Seated on the round chair, he suddenly burst into laughter. His uproarious laughter boomed through the sky and scared the war horses. Shock filled the knights’ faces and they struggled to keep the horses in place.

“Humph!”

A cold scoff that sounded like thunder ruptured the eardrums of everyone and cleared the air of the laughter.

Jiang Chengzi narrowed his voice and coldly said, “It is just juniors of the army. Why make things hard for them? If there is anything, you should take it out on me.”

Blood Flag suppressed his laughter but his lips were still curled into a smirk. On the surface, Blood Flag seemed like handsome young man with a pale face, but what was most striking about him was his blood red lips that made him look like he drank blood regularly.

“There are many armies in the west border but only a few catch my eye. Jiang Chengzi, you are one of them. As such, I will give you some face. Hand over the people in the troop who do not belong to the army. I will not make things difficult for you.”

The meaning implied was that he would not give any mercy if Jiang Chengzi did not hand over the men.

For one person to take on this attitude against soldiers who had faced bloody battlefields with their mighty general, Jiang Chengzi, he was evidently a very arrogant man.

There was a blanket of silence in the air. Jiang Chengzi and everyone else remained deadly quiet.

This meant…Blood Flag’s arrogance was justified. He alone could threaten the entire troop.

Oh no!

Jiang Chengzi sighed to himself. Originally he thought that the reputation of the west border troops, together with his status, would be enough to deter the enemies. As long as he entered the capital and finished escorting the Darkness Ruler, he would pry himself out of the mess.

Who knew that Blood Flag would suddenly appear and block their way…if it was another person, Jiang Chengzi would not hesitate to order his subordinates to kill the obstructor on the spot. He had no fear of being investigated and punished.

This was the dominance that the west border troops had built for themselves through endless bloodshed and sacrifices.

However, it was Blood Flag…he was someone who had left the army many years ago but left a legacy behind.

He was a ruthless, merciless, and unforgiving devil who had made many accomplishments. Among the West Border troops, he was the most famous individual.

Even the most outstanding men in the army would lose their confidence and will when facing him.

Of course, even if Jiang Chengzi’s troops had the will to fight, he could not bear to let them die here.

They were elite men who fought barbarians in the West Border. Walking out of the sea of blood, they were summoned to the capital to be rewarded.

If they survived the knives and swords of the barbarians, how could Jiang Chengzi let their blood scatter on the land of the capital?

However, he himself…Jiang Chengzi knew his own capabilities. He knew he could not stop Blood Flag even if he fought till he died. It was a losing battle.

Sighing deeply, Jiang Chengzi’s eyes brightened. His white hair swayed in the still air and his armor hugged his burly body. Suddenly, he released a powerful aura that seemed to swallow everything!

In the horse carriage behind, Hundred Saint heard a deep voice command, “Take him away and enter the capital as fast as possible…if you can’t do so, protect yourself first.”

Shoosh!

Hundred Saint’s expression fell. It seemed inconceivable that there would be someone who could block the advancing West Border troops, but now, Hundred Saint was certain that he had underestimated this person.

“Let’s go!”

With one hand grabbing onto Qin Yu, Hundred Saint pushed the horse carriage door open with a bang. The two of them sped off like an arrow directly headed for the capital!
