As the dawn broke, the pristine blue sky gradually unfurled a sheer veil of roseate hues. The tranquil azure dawn permeated through treacherous mountain passes, weaving through foliage and even sliding beneath fallen leaves, adorning every nook and cranny of the land in preparation for the arrival of the sun's radiant splendor.

Just before Xujiabao, a foreboding aura of impending battle lingered in every corner. Upon the city walls, it seemed as though everyone understood that today marked the final clash, silently awaiting the advent of this moment.

However, when daylight bathed the land, what they anticipated was not a bloody melee of carnage but a resounding thunderous roar that rent the sky. Within this ear-splitting howl, it appeared as though the very colors of the world changed, reverberating in the ears of each person, their gaze transformed, fixated on the direction from which the sound emanated, bearing a sense of impending calamity.

Suddenly, the thunderous roar, which seemed to fill every corner of the heavens and earth, ceased. The arrival of this howl was so abrupt, and its sudden halt equally unexpected. For a moment, the overwhelming noise that had inundated their ears dissipated, leaving a profound sense of unease. Anyone whose inner strength paled in comparison to the seventh level felt an involuntary weakness in their legs.

Amongst them, Hai Huiqiao was the first to regain her composure. Although her inner strength may not have been the most formidable among the bandits, undoubtedly, she remained the calmest and quickest to react. At this moment, her face had drained of all color, replaced by a profound fear in her eyes.

However, her expression lasted but a fleeting moment, and then she spoke as if nothing had happened: "This person is formidable; we cannot face him alone. Xu Hanbai, I request that you lead the Fierce Tiger 200 Suicide Squad as the first wave of resistance. Zhong Wei, I ask that you lead the Wolf Fang Reserve Team. If this person manages to break through the Fierce Tiger 200, you must step in and ensure he doesn't impede our overall assault. Guan Qing, the patriarch, and Guo Shaofeng, the second-in-command, I implore you to proceed with the original plan and commence the siege. As for the two of us, we will be in the middle, providing support at any given moment."


A moment of hesitation swept through the crowd, as a sense of foreboding began to rise within them, sensing that something was amiss. However, since their encounter with obstacles prior to Xujiabao(Xu Family Fortress), they had always entrusted Hai Huiqiao as their military strategist, and every action had been orchestrated by her. Now, with Xujiabao seemingly cornered by this chaotic band of bandits within five days, her achievements were undeniably remarkable.

Therefore, despite their uneasy premonitions, the group hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose to trust her judgment. With over four thousand formidable cultivators among the bandits, they couldn't possibly be frightened away by a single resounding roar.

Those whose names were called out were all mighty experts at the tenth level of inner strength, their reactions swift as they swiftly arrived at their prearranged positions.

As soon as the others departed, Hai Huiqiao immediately grabbed Lan Hanyang's hand and blended into the crowd, lowering her voice and saying, "Don't worry about anything else. Let's change our clothes quickly and leave..."

Lan Hanyang was taken aback and asked, "Why should we leave?"

"We won't have time if we don't leave now," Hai Huiqiao's face was filled with fear as she said, "The person who arrived is a innate powerhouse."

Lan Hanyang's expression remained relatively unchanged. Ever since he heard that earth-shattering howl moments ago, he had already had a vague sense of foreboding. After all, he himself was a pinnacle expert at the tenth level of inner strength, merely a step away from the legendary innate realm.
