King of Nine Skies-Chapter 197 - :Sturm

At this moment, all the people were looking at Yue Tianchen and Lin Feng. A chill emanated from them, as if a fight might break out at any moment.

Duan Wuyi's eyes flickered for a moment, then he stood up and said, "Alright, the drums have started and the signal has been given. Everyone can set off now. Lin Feng, you will be guarding the princess. You must ensure her safety."

Upon hearing the words of Duan Wuyi, the crowd felt a chill run through their hearts. Duan Wuyi, after all, chose Lin Feng. His preference for Lin Feng was even greater than his regard for Yue Tianchen, the future inheritor of the Yue family. This made many people feel astonished. After all, what happened in the Cinnamon Forest that day was known only to a few people.

In the eyes of the crowd, Lin Feng was still Lin Feng. Even though he had extraordinary talent, he couldn't compare with the heir of one of the three major families of the Imperial City, the Yue Family. But to everyone's surprise, Duan Wuyi seemed to value Lin Feng highly. He even entrusted the safety of the princess to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's eyes also narrowed. To be honest, if Miao Tianchen hadn't provoked him and insulted him just now, he wouldn't have stepped forward. Although he didn't like Princess Duan Xin Ye at all, he still couldn't say he had feelings for her. It was just that Duan Xin Ye's beauty and that rare and elegant temperament made no man feel disgusted when he saw her.

"Uncle Wang, although I have entrusted the safety of the Princess to Lin Feng, others should also take good care of her." Duan Wuyi said to Duan Tianlao again, and then continued, "From now on, among the three armies, only the Princess can command Lin Feng. Lin Feng only needs to be responsible for the Princess's safety. Other matters can be handled or not handled, and moreover, all three armies have the obligation to assist Lin Feng."

After Duan Wuyi finished speaking, the crowd was slightly stunned. They hadn't expected that Duan Wuyi would actually grant Lin Feng the privilege.

"Duanyu, this is to protect me."

Lin Feng felt a chill run down his spine. In an instant, he understood the meaning of Duan Wuyi. Even in the military, the same situation prevailed. There were forces of his enemies everywhere. Duan Wuyi was worried that they would frame Lin Feng. So, he could give Lin Feng a position and protect the princess's safety. Moreover, this was a reminder to others that anyone who harmed Lin Feng would be harming the princess as well.

"Lin Feng, in my opinion, have you ever heard me?"

Duan Wuyi fixed his gaze on Lin Feng and said calmly, "At present, he no longer has the gentle air. There is an air of authority emanating from him, as if he were a prince."

"Lin Feng carried out the order."

With a slight nod, Lin Feng naturally couldn't refuse the act of protection that was initiated by Duan Wuyi out of concern for him.

"All right, then, Princess, it's up to you."

Duan Wuyi said a meaningful sentence to Lin Feng and then turned to Duan Tianlao and said: "Uncle Wang, my soldiers, this is all up to you. When you arrive at Dianlie City, work together with General God-Arrow to fight against the enemy. I will be waiting for your glorious return in the Imperial City, to the Heavenly Palace!"

"Your Highness, I will do my utmost to expel the demons and wipe out the disgrace of the blade." Duan Tianlao's voice was solemn. Duan Tianyazi nodded slightly, glanced at Duan Xin Ye for a moment, then strode away without the slightest trace of reluctance.

Duan Tianlang walked up to the commander's throne. Wearing black armor, he looked extremely imposing. Scanning the crowd with his eyes, he said, "All troops to their positions."

The footsteps sounded in unison. The bronze-armored soldiers removed the war drums and quickly returned to their positions.

The people in the Snow Moon Temple and Tianyi Academy also stood up. Being in the military, the generals held the highest authority and their orders were as firm as mountains.

Luo Tianchen gave Lin Feng a cold glance, his eyes carrying a hint of murderous intent. Then he turned around and stepped back to his original position.

Feeling the other's cold murderous intent, Lin Feng said coldly in his heart: "I hope you don't provoke me."

Turning around, Lin Feng lifted his feet and walked towards the crowd of Tian Yi College.

"Lin Feng."

Just at this moment, Duan Tianlang shouted out, causing Lin Feng to pause for a moment and turn his head to look at Duan Tianlang.

"You have been placed in the wrong position," said Duan Tianlao indifferently. "Now that you are the princess's bodyguard, how could you not accompany her around? When you arrive at the military camp, are you still so lazy and indolent? If anything happens to the princess, I'll have you answer for it."

Lin Feng's gaze narrowed slightly. Before Duanyu left, this time Tianlang began to pressurize him. However, his reasons were something he really couldn't refute.

"Lin Feng realizes his mistake."

A faint smile appeared on his face. Lin Feng adjusted his direction and walked towards Princess Duan Xinye. As the commander of the three armies, Duan Tianlao might often put pressure on him. Now what he needed to do was to deny Duan Tianlao any opportunity and prevent him from having any excuses.

"Thank you for your help."

When Duan Xinye saw Lin Feng approaching, a gentle smile flashed across her eyes, and she looked beautiful and charming.

"It is my honor to safeguard the safety of the princess."

Lin Feng smiled in return and said politely.

Duan Xin Ye's eyes looked at Lin Feng for a moment, flickering twice, and then she burst out laughing and said, "Lin Feng, I can't help but think this doesn't look much like the real you."

Looking at that brilliant and beautiful smile, Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and a hint of relaxed smile appeared on his lips.

"Pervert."

A faint sound reached Lin Feng's ears. Lin Feng felt as if there were two pairs of eyes staring at him from behind. When he turned his gaze away, he saw Liu Fei glaring at him fiercely, causing Lin Feng's eyes to flash for a moment.

This girl, is she jealous now?

When Lin Feng looked at Wenqing again, that saintly and beautiful face was still as cold and indifferent as before. She didn't even glance at Lin Feng once. Lin Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could this woman be so cold-hearted?

Duan Tianlang saw that the crowd had all gathered. With a glance, he shouted in a powerful voice that could be heard from afar: "All soldiers, march out!"

"March out."

Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, and the earth trembled for a moment.

...

A few days later, over the vast land, the yellow dust was everywhere, and the hooves' sounds reverberated through the earth.

On the ancient road, tens of thousands of soldiers rode their warhorses, forming a long dragon stretching for dozens of miles, galloping across the land, sending up yellow dust like a tornado that obscured the sky and blocked the sun.

Among the foremost crowd, two young steeds were galloping side by side. They were Lin Feng and Princess Duan Xinye. It was she herself who insisted on riding on horseback with all the soldiers, giving up the comfortable dragon chariot.

Of course, in the Nine Heavens Continent, the world of martial artists, even women are rarely pampered and indulged. Martial artists who travel thousands of miles are nothing to be alarmed about; they merely feel a little tired.

As the sun was setting, the sky above was bathed in a glow of red clouds, making it extremely beautiful.

In the distance, a quaint city emerged slowly before the eyes of the crowd. This city was ancient and solemn, with a touch of tranquility and age-old desolation. Under the setting sun's glow, it even carried a hint of desolation.

Dianlian City, here we are!

A short while later, the three armies arrived at the foot of the Broken Blade City. However, at this moment, the city gate was tightly closed. The people on the city walls looked down and their expressions were cold, showing no sign of movement.

"Lord Tianlang has led his troops here. Open the city gates immediately."

The messenger galloped forward on horseback, waving the banner in his hand and shouting loudly at the city gate.

The crowd above the city gate looked indifferent. They surveyed the endless ranks of soldiers before them. One of them said indifferently, "The city gate won't open without General Wu's order."

"Um?" The soldiers at the front heard the voice from the city gate and their eyes widened. "Don't open the gate?"

The messenger shouted angrily, "We are soldiers of the Imperial City. We have come here on the orders of the Emperor. Lord Tianlao is in command. Open the city gate for us and let us enter."

"Without the general's order, the city gate won't be opened."

The voice from above the city gate remained cold and indifferent. Those who were away from the capital, they would not obey the orders of the monarch. Soldiers, you must only follow the orders of the commander-in-chief.

In Dianli City, Lord Liu Canglan, the Archer of Divine Skill, is the leader. Apart from his orders, no one can command the soldiers under his command.

"Lu Canglan, what nerve you have! It seems you don't take the Snow Moon Royal Family seriously at all." Duan Tianlao said coldly, "Could it be that this Lu Canglan wants to establish himself as a king?"

Upon hearing Liu Canglan's words, the crowd began to murmur among themselves. Many people started to discuss, but at this moment, Lin Feng gave a cold smile and said, "Your Highness, one must not speak carelessly. The soldiers at the city gate, knowing that we are powerful, still remained calm and did not open the city gate. This clearly shows that General God-Arrow has excellent military discipline and strict military regulations."

"Then it's you, Your Highness, who first said that the Great Archer General wanted to proclaim himself king. What was your intention?"

When Liu Canglan heard Lin Feng's questioning gaze, his expression hardened and he looked at Lin Feng coldly, saying, "When I'm speaking, do you have the right to interrupt? What kind of person are you?"

"Your Highness, you are wrong again. This time, I have been ordered to protect the princess's safety. I will do my utmost. Your words just now have serious consequences. They might even lead to a rebellion. But if the princess were to encounter any mishap during the rebellion, would you, Lord Tianlao, take the blame?"

Lin Feng's gaze was fixed on Duan Tianlang, unflinching, unyielding, neither humble nor arrogant.
