Chapter 131 The Darkest Hour
Shui Yuntian glanced at the two couples wearing black and white masks. They were just sitting there quietly, not eating or drinking like Lin Fenghuo.
"These two are my two friends in the world of martial arts." Mr. Shui chuckled.
"Black as a mountain!"
"Bai Xi!"
The black and white duo said while holding their hands in their seats.
Soon a few people came out of the breakfast hall. Lin Fenghuo, who was not full yet, muttered as he walked: "If you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your brain!"
Shui Feng glared at the young man and asked in a low voice: "Old man, are things going smoothly?"
Shui Yuntian smiled slightly and didn't answer?
"Then should I go to Queshan with you, or to the northern border?" the handsome young man asked anxiously.
The middle-aged man whispered: "Proceed as originally planned!"
The young man's eyes lit up, and as soon as he turned his head, his figure disappeared in front of everyone.
Although Tiexin Village is not big, the factions in the village are complicated. The most important among them are the three parties.
First of all, the most powerful ones are naturally the Helian forces headed by the village chief Helian Tiexin. Helian Tiexin is the absolute king of Tiexin Village, with three hundred guardian-level warriors under his command. The strong men of Yinren Village are engaged in the work and are the backbone of Tiexin Village. Among these guardian-level warriors, the ones with more outstanding strength can hold the position of captain. They are the warriors at the level of disciples of Tiexin Village. Their strength is similar to that of the Iron Guards of Yinren Village, but the number is much smaller, only about twenty people.
The second force is naturally an external force headed by Shui Yuntian. Tiexin Village has been established for more than 40 years and has continuously absorbed surrounding Orion villagers, gradually forming this aspect of power. The main components are the independent action team led by Shui Feng and Shui Yuntian's intelligence organization. Among them, there are one hundred guardian-level warriors and as many as twenty disciple-level warriors, who can vaguely compete with Helian Tiexin.
The third party force is the Young Master force headed by He Lianhong. As the only son of Helian Tiexin, Helianhong has cultivated many forces of his own over the years, including more than 70 guardian-level warriors and more than a dozen retainer-level warriors. Among the many forces in Tiexin Village, apart from Helian forces and external forces, the third strongest force.
This negotiation arrangement is the profit sharing and exchange of interests between the three parties. Helian Tiexin has the absolute right to speak, so he is not worried about any trouble, because he knows that the more fierce the external forces and the Young Master's forces are, the more fierce the dispute will be. His position becomes more stable.

Yi Xifeng sat on the stone and watched the sky gradually turn white. The group of people were waiting here. The young man wanted to ask several times, but he always swallowed his questions.
The young man understood that this was a mission, and it was his first mission to protect Tieyi. Sometimes it was better to wait quietly than to ask too many questions.
After all, some things involve mission secrets and it is difficult for others to tell them directly.
When the fair boy was thinking wildly, Qingzhu suddenly said lightly: "Here he comes!"
Yi Xifeng immediately stood up from the stone and pulled Ye Jian Hanxing out of its scabbard.
Zhao Long directly pulled out the Qinglian double blades from his waist, and the blue light in his eyes flashed quietly.
Wang Bodang was more direct, with all his inner energy running, and the cast-iron gun was held in his palm.
…
After just a few breaths, the dense cliffs opposite were still quiet, with not even a single person in sight.
"How is the situation? Qingzhu." A familiar voice suddenly came from behind Yi Xifeng.
The moment the fair boy heard this voice, he jumped away from where he was, his body full of alcohol and energy running wildly.
I don't know when, but ten more people suddenly appeared behind the three teenagers.
Less than three feet away from them, Zhao Long and Wang Bodang were startled by the sudden voice. However, the reaction of the two of them was not as great as that of Yi Xifeng.
However, when the three of them turned around to look for the source of the words, they were surprised when ten people appeared behind them.
Think about it, it would be very scary for any warrior to be approached three feet from behind without knowing it.
What is terrifying is not only the matter itself, but also the strength of these people.
"Captain Chengtao?" Yi Xifeng blurted out.
The first person I saw was Li Chengtao, who was wearing a mountain patrol uniform. Behind him were nine people, who were also wearing mountain patrol uniforms just like him.
"Xifeng, you have to study hard on this mission. I believe you can learn a lot." Li Chengtao looked at the fair boy with a smile on his lips.
Overall, he was quite satisfied with this young man. He was able to become the Twelve Master of Yanwu at the age of less than ten years old and was successfully promoted. This was the first time in the short history of Yinren Village.
Yi Xifeng still trusted the captain who was both a teacher and a friend, so he asked the questions in his heart.
"Captain Chengtao, why are you here for this negotiation? Are you good at negotiating?" the young man asked curiously. In his impression, Li Chengtao was definitely not a person who could negotiate.
The slightly bookish young man shook his head, but before he could say anything, there were dense footsteps in the dense forest behind them.
Soon, figures one after another appeared under the cliff.
Without exception, these people were slowly moving closer to this side, and they were wearing the same uniforms as Yi Xifeng and the other three, and they were all in iron armor!
There were more than a dozen people who did not come closer, but ducked further away or into the dense forest, apparently to probe for information.
In the time it took to make tea, everyone who was investigating from all around came back with reports.
"Captain, there is no trace of the enemy within ten miles." A mountain patrol member reported to Li Chengtao in a low voice.
"Everyone listen to the order!" the young man shouted.
With just one word from Li Chengtao, nine mountain patrol members present and more than a hundred armored guards stepped in to answer the call.
"Secret order from the Presbyterian Council, follow the command in all actions! In three days, Tiexin will be destroyed!" Li Chengtao said in a deep voice.
It was a very brief secret command, but the impact it brought was truly unparalleled. Everyone didn't have time to think too much and subconsciously roared: "No!"
Yi Xifeng looked at Captain Chengtao in front of him and asked with some confusion: "Is it possible to destroy Tiexin in three days?"
Li Chengtao glanced at the kid beside him with a smile, and replied meaningfully: "If it is two years later, there should be no problem. But this time there is a good opportunity. Our allies are also here."
"Allies?" Yi Xifeng became more and more confused as he listened. Didn't he receive an urgent report and go to the northern border to negotiate with the people of Luoye City? Where did the allies come from?
The young man deliberately let it slip and said: "The night before dawn is always the darkest. And the situation before victory or defeat is always the most confusing. So we have to wait!"
"What are you waiting for?" the fair boy asked curiously.
Li Chengtao pointed to the sun that was gradually showing its edge and said softly:
"Wait for the light that dispels the darkness!"
"Remember, the darkest moment is the decisive moment!"
