Mountain Patrol Military Officer-Chapter 1117 - 740: Setting the Killing Field

"Among them, perhaps there are descendants of your Yun Family in the mountains!"

When Chen Yuan said this, his tone was calm, yet to Yun Chuxiong and Yun Fangting, it was like thunder shaking their minds, causing their faces to change dramatically.

Their faces twitched involuntarily, they exchanged a glance, quickly realizing that what General Chen said was not alarmist talk, but very likely true.

After all, they were well aware that in the recent bloodshed caused by demons, the younger generation of the Yun Family escorting materials were injured, recuperating in the mansion, and then hurriedly returned to the mountains once the news of the upcoming imprint ceremony spread.

This period was enough for the lurking demons to do many things.

Moreover, their identity was also most likely to be manipulated by demons.

"General Chen, I will immediately arrange this matter, but as my Yun Family’s descendants have now returned to the mountains, there is very likely danger, involving all the mountains, which could lead to changes. I cannot shirk this responsibility," Yun Chuxiong, though worried, remained calm and composed, speaking in a deep voice with Chen Yuan.

"Don’t worry, I will take action, you prepare the rest." Chen Yuan did not say unnecessary words, then turned his gaze ominously to the girl in the picture, his eyes cold and sharp.

"Since these guys want to put on a good show for me at the ceremony, I shall accompany them to the end."

After speaking, his Heavenly Eye closed at the center of his brow, the golden light retracted, and the image faded. He then waved his sleeve towards the Yun Chuxiong brothers, their figures blurred, and they were moved out of Chen Yuan’s Personal Cave Heaven.

After doing this, Chen Yuan turned to look at Qing Yangzi, who was supported by Ji Wuming, and said:

"In order not to alert the enemy, Qing Yangzi, my friend, I need to inconvenience you for a while longer."

Concerned about his master’s well-being, Ji Wuming quickly said, "General Chen, do you mean..."

"The God Control Restriction on your master has not been removed by me, only peeled away. I can destroy this, but once destroyed, even though I have Heavenly Mechanism Concealment, that witch will become suspicious if she does not see your master. Or if your master appears in the outside world, the opponent will also sense the restriction has failed."

"Therefore, to pretend nothing has happened and draw the snake out of its hole, the restriction on your master must remain within him for a while longer. However, I will leave a safeguard within your master’s Mud Ball to ensure a trace of clarity, preventing complete control."

As Chen Yuan finished speaking, his gaze fell on Qing Yangzi’s face.

Qing Yangzi immediately understood, without hesitation, "General Chen, please act quickly. The matter is significant, and having narrowly escaped death, I am already grateful. A bit of suffering is nothing."

After speaking, he chuckled carefreely.

"You are noble, my friend."

Chen Yuan wasted no time, forming a gesture with his fingers, a thread of Mystic Gold True Qi transformed into a thin needle, piercing directly into Qing Yangzi’s Baihui acupoint.

Qing Yangzi grunted, his face turned red, veins protruding from his brow and temples, clearly not feeling well, yet he gritted his teeth and endured. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Soon, his pupils gradually became hollow, with a faint trace of purple light reappearing then disappearing.

Chen Yuan continued to cast, "Next, I’ll send you all out, to pretend nothing happened, everything as usual."

With the words falling, he finished casting, waved his sleeve, and Qing Yangzi along with the others were also sent out from the Personal Cave Heaven.

......

Shortly after this brief episode, the side gate of the Yun Mansion swung open, household servants in green clothes, guards carrying messages quickly walked through the streets towards the various properties and residences of the Yun Family, some even riding horses.

"By order of the family head! Yun Family branch clan members quickly return to the ancestral shrine, to inform the ancestors and support the sons heading for battle!"

The message spread quickly, within less than an incense stick’s time, as branch families of the Yun Family hurriedly arrived from other parts of the city, or riding swiftly or leisurely, headed towards the Yun Mansion.

Some woke up late, without having taken morning meals, and upon hearing the news, rushed over, not daring to delay the family’s business; some were neatly dressed for the occasion, bringing ceremonial offerings, even carrying women, children, and elderly....everyone heading towards the ancestral shrine.

At this moment, the gates of the Yun Family’s ancestral shrine were wide open, incense was already burning inside, the smoke curling up.

Gradually arriving Yun Family clansmen stood according to their seniority on both sides of the altar.

As time passed, more and more people gathered in the Yun Family’s ancestral shrine, reaching about two hundred.

Regarding why they gathered here, no one had any doubt or reason to question.

After all, everyone knew that today Yunding Mountain was holding the imprint ceremony and almost all direct descendants of the Yun Family had joined the military. After today’s ceremony, the army would head to the front line, and the Yun Family’s descendants would naturally accompany the army.

Such a significant event naturally required prayers to the ancestors in the ancestral shrine, seeking their blessing for the safe return of the Yun Family’s sons.

At this time, amidst the gradually gathering crowd, a middle-aged man dressed in a Ten Thousand Character Patterned Brocade Robe entered the shrine. He wore a Green Silk Hat, with a pigeon-egg-sized East Pearl embedded in it, his skin slightly sagging with triangular eyes that squinted narrowly, scanning the lively crowd before fixing his gaze towards the side hall corridor.

Then, he walked over in that direction; the side hall is where the women of the Yun Family stay, the rules of the shrine usually prevent women from entering, only during such blessing ceremonies can they enter, even then only stay in the side hall, not in the main shrine.

Because many people were present, and the shrine ceremony had not yet begun, they gathered in threes or fours.

Wearing the brocade robe, the middle-aged man did not standout in the crowd, standing at a corner of the side corridor; shortly thereafter, a maiden wrapped in a lotus-colored cloud brocade cloak happily walked over.

"Father, you are here, Nu’er missed you so much."

Saying this, the maiden affectionately hugged the arm of the middle-aged man, shaking it.

The middle-aged man dotingly touched the maiden’s head, chuckled.

After which, his triangular eyes glanced sideways, his smile insincere, and spoke tonelessly, "Good, your acting is more natural than before."

"Today is the great ceremony at Yunding Mountain. We, Holy Clan, will let them see what it means to fail before the battle even begins. Have you done what was tasked?"

The witch "Nu’er" continued to display her innocent cheerful smile, though her lips barely moved, her voice mocking,

"Fear not, Holy King, Nu’er has already controlled several of the Yun Family’s descendants. They have now entered Yunding Mountain, ready to create chaos at any time. Also, something amusing, just last night I controlled an old acquaintance of the Human Clan Martial Saint. This person came to the Yun Mansion as a guest, conveniently as an addition."

The "middle-aged man" hearing this, his triangular eyes moved and squinted harshly at the witch, his eyes were like an abyss, "An acquaintance of the one at Yunding Mountain, interesting, is it safe?"

"It’s safe; that person early on fought alongside the one at Yunding Mountain, but now they are a waste. My God Control Divine Skills have no issue, added to the fact it is a short time, everyone’s attention converges on Yunding Mountain, and others cannot perceive it at all," the witch confidently declared.

The "middle-aged man" nodded in satisfaction, hearing these words.

"You’ve done well."

Saying finished, he turned to look at the main hall of the Yun Family’s ancestral shrine, and started to laugh, "It seems this Yun Family’s blessing will soon turn into a funeral."

The witch turned around laughing widely, "Father indeed is correct!"

The father-daughter duo’s smile carried deep malice!

While this scene was being observed by a pair of chilling pale golden eyes from another space.

"Indeed, there are big fish lurking behind. This general has yet to slay a Demon King; seems I need to set a trap!"

Chen Yuan’s voice echoed softly, then the pair of pale golden eyes vanished!!!
