Peerless Taoist

An old man suddenly charged out from the crowd, roaring as he charged towards Wang Muzhi.    

He suddenly dashed out too suddenly. However, Lu Yu's guards reacted very quickly and immediately stopped him.    

The old man's face was flushed red, and he furiously roared at Wang Muzhi.    

"Wait! Who are you?"    

Lu Yu walked in front of the old man and waved his hand to signal the other guards to leave.    

The old man stared at Wang Muzhi with hatred. Suddenly, he turned around and bowed to Lu Yu. "Master, please make the decision for me!"    

He was about to kneel down, but Lu Yu used a hidden force to dissolve it and made him stand up.    

"Speak slowly."    

Lu Yu's voice was flat, and there was a trace of Confucianism in his tone, causing the old man to calm down a little.    

The old man's face was still red. He exhaled a breath of foul air and said, "My name is Li Yun. Three years ago, I served as a lieutenant in Tian Chong Pass. I have been in the army for decades."    

"Tian Chong Pass is the most important town in the entire Left Military Court. Compared to the Tang Dynasty, we have never stopped fighting. Therefore, the chances of casualties are the highest."    

"Three years ago, we led the army to prepare to launch a sneak attack on a stronghold of the Tang Dynasty. Originally, it was a flawless plan, but who would have thought that after we entered... They were ambushed. The general died in battle at the very first moment, leaving us here... We used all our strength to barely escape. I originally thought that it was because the Tang Dynasty had spies in our army that the information was leaked. But I didn't expect that it was actually the Wang Clan's doing!"    

The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, almost bursting with anger.    

Just now, there was an official who revealed the Wang Clan's dirty deeds, and one of them was related to the sale of information.    

For the sake of their own interests, the Wang Clan didn't care about the lives of the soldiers on the frontlines at all. They had openly sold some military intelligence to the Tang Dynasty.    

Many spies of the Tang Dynasty had even infiltrated Xiliang City and had clearly exposed their identities. However, Wang Muzhi had never paid any attention to these people.    

"Ten days! Our entire army lasted for ten days under heavy siege! We asked for help many times, but there were no reinforcements. In the end, I pretended to be dead and barely managed to escape. But after returning, there was no compensation. Xiliang Manor even blamed the general for acting rashly! Beast! Is your heart still made of flesh!?"    

The old man angrily rebuked in pain. Suddenly, he took off his shirt, revealing his strong upper body.    

The upper body of the old man was covered with numerous wounds. Even the flesh on his heart had caved in, as if someone had dug it out alive.    

Gasps of cold air came from the crowd that was watching.    

This was the person who had been protecting them all night.    

The injuries on the old man's body were not just shocking wounds, it was also his honor.    

The old man roared furiously at Wang Muzhi, "I'm already old now, and my cultivation level has regressed by a lot. In many places, even the workmanship doesn't want me. The compensation promised by the military has never been given to me on time. I thought it was difficult for the military, so I didn't ask for it. But I didn't think that all of this compensation would fall into your Wang family's hands! Do your Wang Family still have the heart? To actually take this money!"    

" Many of my comrades, their families' cultivation level isn't high, and some of them are even mortals. Without a foundation for cultivation, they can only rely on those compensation to survive. You are cutting off their path of survival! You deserve to die ten thousand times for your crimes!"
