From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master-Chapter 317: Chaos Ensued

"Hold them!" Hai Tao shouted as he moved back with his close guards.

The scene of the Sword Saint and Jian Xi leaving Hai Tao had caused his troops to be in doubt.

And themmander from the Hulu Tribe took advantage of it, mounting aunterattack with the forces that he had.

"Captain, look, there's another forceming towards us," one of Hai Tao's close guards shouted.

He pointed at a force of about a few hundred on their horsesming towards them from the right of the battlefield.

Hai Tao glanced over and was perturbed with what he saw.

These troops weren't in Quan armor or Hulu Tribe armor.

They were oddly dressed in robes.

"Send a centurion and see what they are up to," Hai Tao gave out his order.

One of his close guards nodded and went on his way.

Soon a small team had to turn and line up to face the unknown force.

Themmander of the Hulu Tribe narrowed his eyes and observed what was happening.

He didn't know who these new iming forces were.

The only thing he was sure about was that they weren't from the Hulu Tribe.

But he was not prepared for what he would witness the very next moment.

The centurion for the small team that lined up and faced the forces in robes sent a messenger up towards the forces in robes.

"Who are you? And what's your purpose here!"

When he got near enough, the messenger shouted at the men dressed in robes in front of him.

The messenger didn't get any answers to his queries; what he got was something he had not expected.

One of the men in robes drew out his sword and thrust it at him, and a twirling wind shot at him.

Whoosh.

The twirling wind ripped through the messenger's armor, and he fell from the horseback immediately.

It worked, thought the man in robes who had unleashed the twirling wind as he looked at the bracelet artifact on his wrist.

The artifact was able to produce a twirling wind that looked like the Twirling Wind Strike just like the Qing Feng Sword Technique.

He raised his sword and shouted, "Qing Feng Sect disciples, kill these dogs from the imperialurt. It's time to overthrow the Emperor!"

The other men in robes also raised their swords, and they charged at Hai Tao's troops.

"The Qing Feng Sect?!" Hai Taouldn't believe it when he heard his men reporting back.

He had so many questions in his mind.

Why would the Qing Feng Sect want to overthrow his Majesty?

And of all times, why now when he was in retreat under the pressure of the Hulu Tribe troops?

The men in robes overran the centurion tasked to face them easily.

Only shreds of flesh and body partsuld be found when the men in robes rode through.

The armor of the Quan troops was no match for the twirling wind that the men in robes unleashed.

And when they joined the battleground where Hai Tao's troops were in retreat from the advancing Hulu Tribe, the tides immediately turned against Hai Tao for the worse.

"Captain! What should we do?"

After pulling out his sword from the body of a Hulu Tribe soldier, one of Hai Tao's guards turned and asked.

Hai Tao assessed the mess that he was in.

Nothing but a miracleuld save him.

Thoughts of running away or surrendering went through his mind.

No, that would mean losing the position of General and worse, being branded as award forever.

He glanced over to the left of the battlefield.

His only hope was to seek help from Lu Ding.

"Go seek help from Lu Ding! Get him and his troops to reinforce us."

Hai Tao shouted at his close guards, trying to grasp onto his chance of survival.

One of his close guards with a few men obliged and rode off.

They were down to only the close guard when they reached Lu Ding after braving through the Hulu Tribe soldiers.

"Captain Lu Ding. Captain Hai Tao requests your help for reinforcements."

The close guard with wounds all over him, bowed and said.

Lu Ding frowned, fearing it might be a trap set up for him.

When the close guard saw Lu Ding's hesitation, he further elaborated on what had happened.

"A force of around a few hundred from the Qing Feng Sect has joined in the battle, and with their Twirling Wind Strike, has caused serious damage."

"Qing Feng Sect? How is that possible?" Lu Ding and his men were surprised.

Lin Fan, Ho Ming, and Zhang Yi Nian were from the Qing Feng Sect, but they weren't anything but rebelling against the Emperor.

There was something fishy about it that heuldn't pinpoint in the moment.

He thought again for a moment.

If he didn't help Hai Tao, the battle might turn against them soon.

And most importantly, he had to capture some of the so-called Qing Feng Sect to find out the truth.

"Lee, lead your men with Ho and Han's men to fend off these 'Qing Feng Sect' disciples. Try to capture some; I want to find out what's behind all of this," Lu Ding turned over and said.

"Yes, Captain!" Lee bowed and galloped off with the others.

Lu Ding thenntinued tommand the push against the Hulu Tribe that was in the middle of the battlefield.

Silently in his mind, he was wondering what had happened to Lin Fan, Ho Ming, and Zhang Yi Nian.

Lin Fan was more than just some help to him.

He had been able to show him what it meant to be more pragmatic and not to be too idealistic.

Even though Lin Fan wasn't too successful, Lu Ding knew he wouldn't have survived so far without being a little more pragmatic.

Right now, he sincerely hoped Lin Fan, Ho Ming, and Zhang Yi Nian were safe.

And on top of that, pragmatic-wise, it would be a huge blow to his troop's morale if they failed.

He glanced over in the direction of Hulu Bei Er's campsite and hoped for the best in his heart.
