Although this rebellion was forced upon them, it was their only choice.
Just as they were deep in thought, there was a commotion at the foot of the mountain.
There was a vague sight of crowds of people, and it seemed that a large number of troops were gathering.
Upon seeing this, the faces of several sect leaders suddenly became anxious.
Seeing this, Li Xiongtian hurriedly comforted him:
"Don't panic, everyone. The Northern Barbarians' army is on the way. As long as we hold on for a while longer, the army sent by the imperial court will not be a concern."
"By then, the magic and resources promised by the Northern Barbarian State Master will be enough for us to revive our sect there, and even make it stronger than in the Qin Empire!"
After hearing this, the expressions of several people eased a little. One of them asked in a low voice:
"Master Li, are the Northern Barbarians...really reliable?"
Li Xiongtian smiled slightly, and said firmly:
“Although the barbarians are barbaric, they worship gods and practice cultivation. They can quickly improve their cultivation without too much cost.”
"As long as we gain their support, the rise of our sect is just around the corner. It is even possible that a Martial Saint will appear in the future."
After hearing this, several people felt relieved and nodded in agreement.
Even feel yearning for it.
"Martial Saint! Damn it, let's fight!"
After comforting everyone, Li Xiongtian asked them to go back and prepare, and he turned around to find Li Wu.
Li Wu was standing by the high wall. Li Xiongtian walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and said in a heavy tone:
"Wu'er, I'll leave this place to you. Don't let this group of people attack us, just delay them! The future of both my father and I depends on this."
Li Wu turned to look at his father, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes:
"Don't worry, father. I will live up to your trust."
Li Xiongtian nodded, gave a few more instructions, and then left with several sect leaders.
Li Wu watched their backs disappear from his sight, then sat down cross-legged and prepared to practice.
However, less than half an hour later, Li Wu heard hurried footsteps.
A disciple on patrol came running over, looking panicked:
"Young Sect Master, several figures appeared on the way up the mountain, and they seemed to be here with ill intentions!"
Li Wu frowned and asked coldly, "How many people?"
"About two or three people, and they look like they are here to provoke us." The disciple answered in a low voice.
Hearing this, Li Wu snorted coldly: "Just two or three people dare to provoke you? Don't pay any attention to them."
The disciple hesitated for a moment and said:
"But... their mouths were full of foul language, and they even addressed the Young Master by his name, their words were extremely disrespectful!"
Li Wu stood up suddenly, with a flash of anger in his eyes: "Oh? What did they say?"
The disciple lowered his head and stammered:
"They...they said that the young master was...a running dog of the imperial court, but now he has become a dog that has lost its home and dares only to hide in the mountains like a turtle..."
"How dare you!" Li Wu shouted angrily, his face instantly turning gloomy.
He strode to the wall and swept his eyes down the mountain like a knife.
Sure enough, several figures could be vaguely seen on the mountain road, pointing at the mountain and shouting.
Li Wu clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. He said coldly:
"Pass the order down. Don't stop them. Let them come up! I want to see who dares to be so arrogant!"
When the people at the foot of the mountain gradually approached, they were only a few hundred meters away from the high wall.
The people behind the high wall finally saw their faces clearly.
Li Wu was the first to be shocked, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
The person in the lead was actually Xia He, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time!
"Xiahe!"
Li Wu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.
A surge of rage suddenly surged in his heart.
If it weren't for Xia He, how could he have been forced to this point?
How could I let my father lead the entire clan in rebellion and embark on this path of no return?
His bright future and the glory of his sect were all ruined by Xia He!
During this period, Xia He almost became his inner demon. Whenever he thought of him, he would grit his teeth in hatred.
Li Wu's eyes were fixed on Xia He, but he saw Xia He also looked up at him.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sarcastic and provocative smile.
The smile was fleeting, but it instantly ignited Li Wu's anger.
Then, Xia He raised his hand to stop Erpang, who was chattering incessantly and swearing.
Then he reached for his waist, his movements quick and decisive, without any delay.
Li Wu's pupils shrank, and alarm bells rang in his heart.
The next second, Xia He suddenly jumped up and threw hard!
A black shadow broke through the air at a breathtaking speed.
In Li Wu's sight, the black spot rapidly enlarged and appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.
The hairs all over his body stood up instantly and he dodged to the side almost instinctively, narrowly avoiding the attack.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, a javelin pierced into the granite wall behind him, causing dirt and rocks to fly everywhere, and a big hole was blown directly in the wall.
The people on the high wall were frightened by this sudden attack. They took a few steps back, their faces full of shock and fear.
"This person has so much strength at such a long distance?!"
Someone exclaimed.
You know, this distance of three or four hundred meters is difficult to reach even with many powerful bows and crossbows.
And Xia He was able to unleash such terrifying power with just a javelin!
Many people couldn't help but feel a little afraid of Xia He.
Li Wu steadied himself, his face so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.
He stared at Xia He, the anger in his heart almost swallowed him.
He almost subconsciously wanted to rush out and compete with Xia He.
