After hearing this, the other two people started muttering to themselves irresolutely. The history of the ancient times had indeed been forgotten. Occasionally, there would be Heaven-grade weapons or martial arts that got lost in time. This made everyone know that the current martial arts experts were no match for those from the past since there were countless treasures and powerful skills back then.
In many of the novels, people made guesses about the history of the past.
Unfortunately, there was no telling why there hadn’t been much information passed down from ancient times.
People had only been able to occasionally obtain useful information from ancient tombs or desolate places.
However, from these martial arts, it was known that there had already been a tradition of writing in ancient times. As such, many people suspected that a big change must have happened, which resulted in this blank period of history.
Sadly, people today could only guess what had happened in the past.
It was a fact that ancient antiques often had extremely powerful effects.
“Who’s going to do this? There are hidden talents all over Lan City. In addition, Qi Zixiao is one of the strongest experts in the world. Not even a Spirit Wheel expert would be confident in sending something into Dayao’s palace. Besides, you can’t just put it anywhere, right?” Liu Rufeng muttered.
“Qi Zixiao will be getting married in a few months. Even the surrendered warlords are taking this opportunity to go to the city to see her. I can use this opportunity to sneak it in and find a chance to present it to her.”
“If it’s exposed, the consequences will be the extermination of the entire clan. Do you have the courage?” Liu Rufeng asked.
“In the past, I did a huge favor for the warlord of Xinyang City without him knowing my background. If I were to propose to follow him, there should be no problem.” Gao Yishan smiled as he stroked his beard.
Liu Rufeng looked at Gao Yishan with admiration. No matter what, the risk of going into the lion’s den was pretty high. If even the slightest bit of this operation was detected, death would be inevitable.
Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard cries amid the rustling of the wind.
As the three men listened, their faces changed. “It’s the barbarian army! Why have they come on such a stormy day?”
Liu Rufeng got up and activated a switch at the corner of the room, revealing a dark passage.
“Hurry and leave from here!”
“Brother Liu…” Xu Ping’s face changed when he stood in front of the dark passage and saw that Liu Rufeng wasn’t leaving with them.
“My family is here, so I’m afraid that I can’t come with you. I can’t just leave them to die alone.” Liu Rufeng smiled and said, “You can be mad at me for being selfish. Whether or not the Yun Nation can be rejuvenated, it will have to depend on you.”
Xu Ping and Gao Yi Shan’s eyes turned red as their blood raged within their bodies.
…
Ten minutes ago, a group of hundreds of people were crouching at the bottom of a hill. Everyone tried to stay as low as possible to stabilize themselves. If they were to stand up, they would probably be blown away by the wind.
“Damn it! The wind in the Yun Nation is really strong!”
A burly man in leather armor was shouting because he had never seen such strong winds in Dayao.
How did people live in this place?
However, just as he said those words, he got blown away by the wind.
His voice was barely audible.
“Luoxia Village is in front. I originally wanted to settle our task tonight, but I didn’t expect the wind to be so strong. Even the trees are being uprooted, and there’s no way for us to even walk. It seems that we can only take action after the wind stops,” another burly man shouted at the top of his lungs.
“I feel that I’ll be blown away if I jump up!” another man shouted.
“Pah, we won’t be looking for you after.” Another man laughed.
“Luoxia Village is right in front of us, and the wind is blowing from behind us. If we were to jump, would we be blown right into the village? If that happens, we’ll fall from the sky and definitely scare them.” One of them was eager to try.
“Good idea! I’m just afraid that we’ll be blown to the edge of land.” The others laughed.
“Let me try. If I get blown too far away, I’ll come back and look for you guys.” One man couldn’t resist the thought in his mind of how great it would be if he were blown by the wind and flew in the air.
“I’m just worried that you’ll get blown too high up and fall to your death,” another man shouted.
“Look at those trees. They are all being blown away horizontally at a height that doesn’t exceed 30 meters. Even if I get blown about 50 meters high, falling from that height wouldn’t kill me.” That burly man burst out laughing, and it was evident that he was full of confidence.
After hearing this, many people were tempted.
Even though they were soldiers, they were still aboriginals. Each of them possessed incredible strength, and their level of discipline was much lower than those of other nations.
Even though they were performing their tasks, everyone got tempted by his words and started to seriously explore the feasibility of landing in Luoxia Village after getting blown by the wind.
“I’ll try it first.” The man who suggested this idea smiled at the crowd. Before the others could stop him, he immediately stood up. The strong winds made him very unsteady.
However, he wasn’t worried at all. He let out a laugh and slammed his feet against the ground, leaping ahead. His body seemed to integrate with the wind and flew further and further. The others could still vaguely hear his laughter from afar.
Everyone was itching to try this out.
“What if he really lands in Luoxia Village? He isn’t a match for them on his own. Let me go help him.” Another man grabbed his blade, stood up, and leaped forward.
“I’m going as well.”
“Me too!”
Dozens of figures disappeared into the wind, and there was no telling if they had gone to find the first man or if they simply found it interesting to get blown away by the wind.
The latter was more likely.
“You guys wait here. I’ll go check it out as well. They can’t stop the chief of Luoxia Village.” An officer stood up and leaped away as well.
He felt that his body was carried by the wind, and it was as if they were both integrated together. He burst into laughter and felt fortunate that he had followed along because this was much more interesting than waiting for the attack mission.
Watching his figure disappear, more people were eager to move.
Another officer shouted, “All of you stay here! No one is to follow them.”
Nobody knew if those guys would actually land in Luoxia village, although it looked quite fun.
However, if too many people were to follow them and got blown too far away, they would have to suffer a beating if the attack mission was delayed.
…
Liu Rufeng sent the two men off into the dark passage before picking up his sword along the way that was hung up and waiting for the aboriginals to come.
He stroked the scabbard and thought to himself, Old friend, this is the last time.
However, after just 30 seconds, he seemed to hear the shouts of dozens of aboriginals.
Liu Rufeng felt a little strange as their voices seemed to be coming from above him.
With such strong winds, how could these people’s voices be coming from above him?
A minute, five minutes, then ten minutes passed, but the aboriginals that he was anticipating still hadn’t arrived.
Liu Rufeng’s face started to look gloomy.
The disciples behind the courtyard walls and the other houses also started feeling suspicious.
Who made that sound just now? Could it be the wind deities? This might be possible. Otherwise, why would there be human voices coming from above their heads?
The more they thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Many people imagined that the wind deities would move around with the wind, feasting and exchanging toasts.
They didn’t expect them to be a bunch of lunatics in the wind.
Many people secretly prayed for a blessing.
At dawn, the wind gradually stopped. An aboriginal army came charging from afar, and the whole village was doused in blood.
In the distance, the aboriginals who got blown away by the wind finally landed on the ground, smashing into bushes and piles of rocks. They shook their heads and looked around in a daze, thinking, Damn it! Where has the wind taken us?
They were at a loss for some time before they started laughing out loud. The experience of getting blown away by the wind was really fun!
