Jade Qilin Lu Junyi had come over that day because they had already settled on their target.
The strongest force in their vicinity had originally been Zhu Family Manor.
Once they had wiped it out completely, no other force had stepped forward to challenge them.
That had made Mount Liang the uncrowned king of the surrounding region.
Moreover, no one nearby had dared come to challenge Mount Liang's authority.
Under those circumstances, Mount Liang had only one target.
"Gaotang Prefecture?"
Jade Qilin Lu Junyi asked tentatively.
To tell the truth, Gaotang Prefecture was also a target the men of Mount Liang had selected.
There were two main reasons. First, Gaotang Prefecture was not far from them.
Second, Gaotang Prefecture's defenses were not particularly strong.
It had a general named Xu Ning who was quite skilled in combat.
Still, Xu Ning's prowess only amounted to so much. Whether he could even last a few rounds against the men of Mount Liang was uncertain.
After all, both Jade Qilin Lu Junyi and Chao Gai intended to show what they could do in this battle.
Under those circumstances, it would have been a miracle if Gaotang Prefecture could hold off even a few of these men, as ferocious as wolves and tigers.
"Xu Ning is a capable man too. If you can hold back, take him in."
Xu Tong smiled as he spoke to Jade Qilin Lu Junyi.
Those words carried two layers of meaning.
If he could hold back, then of course he should spare Xu Ning.
But if he got carried away with the killing, there was absolutely no need to keep Xu Ning alive.
Jade Qilin Lu Junyi understood perfectly. Without saying a word, he nodded, turned, and left.
As he departed, Jade Qilin Lu Junyi could not help smiling.
