At these words, Duan Chengshan's pupils contracted violently. It was a long while before he said, "Impossible!"
Duan Chengshan simply could not believe it. Within Yun Province's territory, who could possibly stop the Lord of Yun Province?
Yet Duan Chengshan did not know that a little demon mouse had swiftly darted out from among the thirty thousand Yunye soldiers and vanished into Yunye City.
Not long after, nearly a thousand Brocade Sect experts who had escaped danger from Yanyun City received an order.
"Disguise yourselves as Xia Kingdom experts and attack the Lord of Yun Province!"
The small square just inside Yunye City's gates was deathly silent.

Duan Chengshan might be talking tough now, but there were plenty of ways
