Chapter 212 A Stunning Turnaround!
```
Zhou Yao also sensed that familiar aura from the Blood Demon Sect and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "You old thing, to use your own words, surrender! If you surrender, I guarantee that out of regard for our past relationship, I will spare your life... We only want to kill Ye Fan and Yu Linglong, as for your colleagues from the Xuanwu Region, I will consider sparing their lives!"
Zhou Yao was extremely pleased with himself!
With the backing of the Blood Demon Sect, Zhou Yao had gained enough benefits from the Black Clothes Society. Now, if he could completely eliminate Gu Feng and the others here, then when he returned to the Xuanwu Region, with the support of Capital's Tang Zheng and Elder Zhang and others, the position of the leader of the Xuanwu Region might very well be his!
Matsumoto watched the scene unfolding before him and couldn't help but silently give Zhou Yao a thumbs up in his heart.
This Zhou Yao, indeed, was quite sly.
He had asked people from the Blood Demon Sect to show up and had divided his troops into two groups. Now, it looked like they were about to finish encircling Gu Feng and the others, creating a situation of overwhelming suppression.
"Young Master Zhou, you are indeed high!" Matsumoto couldn't help but praise him.
Elder Xiao Quan also nodded on the side, "Commander Zhou's move, this time will wipe them out completely, impressive, impressive!"
Zhou Yao waved his hand and responded casually, "No big deal, no big deal!"
At this moment, Gu Feng and Yu Qiang also felt the presence of the Martial Arts Experts rapidly approaching them.
Although Yu Qiang's Tianji Pavilion assassins were very elite, there weren't many of them, and together with Gu Feng's people from the Xuanwu Region, they totaled only about a thousand or so.
But now, the number of Blood Demon members approaching from the outside was at least close to two thousand.
With such a huge numerical advantage overwhelmingly suppressing them, Gu Feng and Yu Qiang's group, no matter how strong, were unlikely to stand a chance. What's more, among those outside responsible for the encirclement, there were clearly two Martial Emperor Level experts arriving. Combined with Zhou Yao, Nanba and his deputies on-site, the enemy also had the advantage in terms of Martial Emperor Level powerhouses.
"Commander Yu Qiang, once the fight starts, you must protect Ye Fan and Yu Linglong and escape from here, make sure we don't suffer a total defeat! You must save Ye Fan and bring him back... The future of the Xuanwu Region depends on him!"
The situation in front of them was critical, far beyond Gu Feng's predictions.
Gu Feng had previously thoroughly investigated the Black Clothes Society's forces deployed in Great Xia and had even overestimated their combat strength, so he had virtually mobilized all the elites of the Xuanwu Region, hoping to settle things once and for all.
But he had not expected Zhou Yao's betrayal to be so complete, nor that he would collude with the Nanyang Blood Demon Sect to become the predator lying in wait behind another predator, and now he was actually facing his own death!
Even with the support of Tianji Pavilion's elite assassins on Young Master Ye's side, it was already difficult to secure victory in the fight.
"Alright!"
As the leader of the Tianji Pavilion Assassins Division, Yu Qiang was not a man of many words. Moreover, in Yu Qiang's heart, the life and death of the others did not concern him much; he only cared about the life of Ye Fan, and at most also cared about the life of the future wife of the Pavilion Master.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Boom! Boom!
Powerful Martial Arts Experts gathered, and in the small valley, thousands of troops had assembled in an instant, all of them Martial Arts Experts.
Such a spectacle was rare to witness anywhere in the world.
The remaining forces of the Blood Demon Sect, twice as strong, quickly completed the encirclement of Gu Feng's people from the Xuanwu Region.
But they did not rush to attack immediately; instead, they stopped at a safe distance of three zhang away, forming tidy ranks.
"What's going on here?" Zhou Yao was puzzled by the situation before him.
With the numerical advantage clearly on their side now, why wait? Why not attack immediately?
Commander Nanba was also curious. When he saw two elders stepping forward from the ranks, he immediately scolded, "Ruan Feiliu, what are you doing? Order the attack now... And Chen Zhenxing, where did you go? Why didn't you answer my phone earlier?"
```
Chen Zhenxing was temporarily commissioned by Nanba to command the rear troops and was part of Nanba's legitimate lineage warriors.
Ruan Feiliu and another elder, although they also obeyed Nanba's orders, were loyal supporters of the clan leader of the Blood Demon Sect. Nanba was worried that they would not follow his orders, which is why he dispatched his direct lineage to supervise them.
"Stop shouting! Nanba, Chen Zhenxing, and the rebels you arranged have all been executed by us!" Ruan Feiliu coldly replied, but there was still no movement from the remaining troops of the Blood Demon Sect.
Huh?
Nanba's heart skipped a beat, filled with a strong sense of foreboding!
"Ruan Feiliu, what are you doing? You want to rebel? How dare you kill the people I arranged? Have you forgotten that, before we set off, the clan leader instructed that everyone must obey my commands…" Nanba's brows furrowed, pondering all his previous actions.
Every plan had been flawless, perfect, even!
Hmph!
With a cold snort, Ruan Feiliu waved his hand behind him, and the warriors of the Blood Demon Sect instantly created a pathway.
In the light of a searchlight shining on the open space, a stunningly beautiful young lady in a white silk dress gracefully walked forward.
"Princess Er Ya... you... this..."
Seeing the beautiful girl, Ruan Feiliu's face changed dramatically, and he couldn't help but step back.
This... Er Ya wasn't killed by his own hand and thrown into the sea? How was she still alive?
Without any hesitation, the young lady leaped onto a boulder and shouted to those around, "All Blood Demon Sect members, listen up! I am Princess Er Ya! An hour ago, using the pretext of discussing important matters, Nanba struck me down and threw me into the sea... Fortunately, I was rescued by Ye Fan, the Young Master of Great Xia, and that is why I narrowly survived..."
"I now declare that Nanba has rebelled. Any member of the Blood Demon Sect who executes Nanba will be immediately promoted to an elder position! All divisions of the Blood Demon Sect, cease cooperation with Zhou Yao immediately, and support Great Xia's Xuanwu Region, as well as Young Master Ye!" Er Ya coolly swept her gaze over everyone and continued, "Those who abandon Nanba now, I will not pursue any responsibility, but those who persist in their delusions, will be killed without mercy!"
As the young leader of a division of the Blood Demon Sect, it must be said that Princess Er Ya had a certain flair!
In just a few sentences, she clearly exposed Nanba's crimes and articulated a very reasonable course of action.
Roar!
Princess Er Ya's statement immediately caused an uproar among those present!
Especially the few hundred troops that had set out with Nanba, they were all boiling with agitation.
The sub-commanders close to Nanba, with looks of shock on their faces, said to him, "Commander Nanba, I never imagined you were such a person... to actually strike the princess, you are so disappointing. That's why we could not get in touch with Princess Er Ya before... Hmph..."
While the sub-commanders spoke, they intended to take their men and leave Nanba!
"It's not like that, it's not what you think! Don't be swayed by her deceit, this princess is definitely an imposter, the real princess has already..." In his panic, Nanba was speaking too quickly and nearly misspoke.
This caused yet another commotion among the crowd!
"Damn it! This is infuriating... Argh... Anyone who dares to defy me again, I'll kill them..." In a furious rage, Nanba could no longer care for anything else, drew his battle saber, and immediately killed the previously speaking sub-commander with a single strike, "Those who side with me shall live, those who oppose me shall die! Who dares to move against me, just try!?"
Nanba was ready to fully tear off the mask of pretense!
Realizing Nanba's actions, Zhou Yao painfully closed his eyes... idiot...
