The Ghost of Fog
Chapter 98. The Seven Great Forces

There was a white shadow moving rapidly down the peak. His steps were so light and fast that the tree leaves he passed by were completely motionless.

He was Lin Tian. This young man rushed back down as soon as he saw the fact that the circumstances behind the hill were completely different to what they had expected before.

The journey down was much faster than when the young man was climbing. If while climbing he needed an hour, this time it was only about twenty minutes that he had already arrived at the camp.

As soon as he reached the camp, this young man immediately opened his mask slightly and whistled loudly once. Unmitigated, this whistle he sounded with a tone of danger sign.

Upon hearing this loud whistling, instantly everyone, both sleeping and awake, or who was still fresh and already drowsy, immediately jumped to their feet and held their respective weapons. Then hurry to the source of the sound.

"What's Lin Tian!?" zhang Qiaofeng asked who was still awake from the beginning.

Lin Tian hurriedly replied, he was still waiting until everyone gathered. After a few minutes the young man still remained silent, the leader of the Tan family immediately snapped.

"What is this Ghost!! Are you going to play us!?" tan Hui Benthic.

Lin Tian did not respond, but instead immediately exerted a deep energy into his throat and said out loud.

"I've just been looking up the mountains!!" he said while pointing towards the top.

Then he continued, "But behind those mountains, there is absolutely no army of mountain men!! There are only traces of firewood that have become ash!!"

"We have been fooled!! The mountain man army already knew of our coming!!" the young man ended his explanation.

Suddenly people storm. Confused and also surprised, there were even those who still did not believe the truth about Lin Tian's words. One of them was Gui Leng who immediately snapped.

"Don't lie!! What's the evidence-"

"Send some people and see for yourself!! If my words are not true, I dare to chop off my head!!" this young man snapped firmly and confidently, completely unshadowed by the fear behind his words.

Hearing this Zhang Qiaofeng felt uneasy once. But he tried to suppress his feelings and tried to believe Lin Tian's words.

Whereas the other six families immediately sent three people who were ordered to investigate behind the mountains according to what Lin Tian said.

"Lin Tian, are you saying that right?" zhang Qiaofeng asked in a whisper as Lin Tian was already closing in on him.

"Right Miss." replied Lin Tian without hesitation.

"If it is like that, it means that our situation is really bad. Especially considering the Liu family who did not come. What might have something to do with this?" reply Lu Tuoli.

"We can only wait." Zhang Hongli muttered as he stared at the departure of the ordered people to investigate.

Once those eighteen people had vanished behind the darkness of the forest, the troops became alarmed once. He secretly wanted that Lin Tian's words were not true and they would immediately charge in tomorrow.

But it turns out that God wants something else. As soon as the eighteen people returned, they revealed expressions that were extremely unpleasant to look at. Seeing this Chu Shen immediately asked.

"Hows it? Lin Tian was lying, wasn't he?" he asked quickly, as if he could not wait to hear the answer.

They looked at each other, then one of the representatives of the Chu family replied, "Master Lin Tian's words are correct and precise. There no one saw anyone."

The faces of everyone who was there. They had bad thoughts about this news. Subconsciously, they attributed this fact to the absence of the Liu family since a few days ago.

"What's this about? Why is it like this?" muttered Jiang Shi uneasily.

They were silent in their own daydreams. So that the situation that many people are just crowded in the eyes, but there is not a single sound as if there is not a single human standing.

All drowned in wonder, shock, and especially anxiety. Suddenly, there was a scream from a distance. This voice contained a full inner exertion, yet sounded hoarse and forced.

"Tolooong!! Anyone!! Mr. Xiao...Master Chu...Help!!" yell that mysterious voice.

Hearing his name being mentioned, Xiao Li and Chu Shen immediately ran towards the voice. It was followed by the five other family leaders, as well as Lin Tian and Zhang Hongli and a few high commanders.

"Sir...!!!" chu Shen exclaimed as he approached the person shouting and helped him sit down.

It turned out that he was a Liu family commander, seen from the armor and family emblem depicted on the left chest. The man's body was covered in wounds, even his right hand was already puffed up. The severe injuries that once seen, of course, people will know if he can not be saved.

"C. hasten..in the North.Mountain forces attack us..Go there, before they come to our city.." said the commander stammered and with hunting breath.

Hearing this, they know that their previous allegations are indeed true. That the disappearance of the mountain man's army has something to do with the absence of the Liu family.

May the bar-barians cut off the Liu family's march so that they may not reach the gathering point.

So they immediately returned to the camp and ordered that all be packed quickly. After forty minutes of preparation, this huge army immediately set off towards the North.

Quietly, Gui Leng who was already an expert in war tactics became astonished. Why could such a primitive mountain man be so clever? This old man wondered.

This was not surprising, because if the one leading the mountain army was him alone, he would most likely execute the same strategy. Since the Liu family was the strongest family after the Chu family, so if they were destroyed first, the battle would become much easier.

What astonished his heart was, why could the mountain troops have such sophisticated and ingenious thoughts? Aren't they completely cut off from the outside world? Moreover, weren't they very common with war because indeed among the mountain human tribes there had never been a civil war? So if thought of with reason, they should never have fought a war except against the invasion of wild animals.

"There must be something behind all this" thought this old man.

...****************...

It has been an hour since they traveled north. And at this time the incense has been heard the sound of clinking weapons and also seen a bright light that seems to be generated from the torches carried by the troops.

"Let's get there fast!! The Zhang, Jiang, and Chen families, charged in from the East. As for the Tan, Hu, and Xiao families, the attack came from the West. And we Chu family will be storming from the front!!" chu Shen shouted the leader of the entire army.

Without being ruled twice, the six families immediately headed for their respective positions. Then with a single loud and full of deep-energized clash from Chu Shen, a thousand-strong swarm of people immediately invaded.

"Yarineh!!!" thus Chu Shen shouted loudly giving the command.

Then there was a great and incredible battle. Thousands of mountain troops fought against thousands of combined forces from the seven Ruler Families, plus the Zhang family who also could not be underestimated by his strength.

The remaining Liu family troops were also helping desperately.

The most prominent is the lunge of the Ghost Swordsman Fog and Grandfather Arm Sakti. The two of them were like two dragons dancing in space, flashing here and there knocking down each opponent every time his accomplices moved.

This is not surprising, because these two student teachers play the Science of Silat Inner Serenity which is very great. Although Lin Tian's level wasn't as great as his teacher, this young man was no less terrifying than the old man.

Not to forget also the existence of two beautiful girls like angels who are now fighting great like dancing. With the Eagle Sword Arts obtained from Lu Tuoli, they rampaged violently and were able to knock down many people.

On the side of the Hu family, Hu Tao and his elders also fought fiercely. This young man played his pair of chain daggers so cleverly, that if people looked at it at a glance, the prowess of a pair of daggers was like two dragons rolling around each other.

An hour passed and the mountain man was getting desperate. After a few minutes, their leader saw that there was no longer a chance to win. So with one long howl, this mountain man army retreated to the North.

"Pursue, kill as many of these troublemakers as possible!!" chu Shen shouted loudly.

The seven great armies continued to chase and urge. But unfortunately they were unable to clear everything, there were still several hundred mountain people who managed to survive.

"Huh.hah...we won!!" chu Shen exclaimed as he held his weapon up high.

Instantly came the cheers of the troops who welcomed the call. They cheered with joy after conquering the very shrewd and dangerous mountain army.

Since they retreated to the North, towards the Heaven Wall Mountains, then for the time being these seven Ruler Families would be safe from the threat of mountain man. This was already carefully thought through by Chu Shen, which was why he had given the order to lock them up from the East and West.

Despite winning, there is one thing that makes them grieve. Because, in addition to a lot of soldiers who died, there was also a figure who was quite respected and respected during this time. He was the leader of the Liu family, Liu Gan.

Liu Gan died a gallant in that battle. More precisely he died while trying to withstand the onslaught of thousands of mountain man troops before the seven armies came.

This grandfather fought at the very front and was unceasingly shouting for the sake of encouraging his men. As soon as the seven great armies invaded, it was precisely at that moment that Liu Gan's head was cut off on the opponent's sword.

"It's a pity. Bury him properly and if necessary, make a statue in the Liu family territory in memory of his services." said Chu Shen, who was taken in by the rest of the Liu family soldiers.

After dawn broke, they returned to their homes. But they were all unaware, that victory in this battle was not the end. In the future, there will be major events that will make the entire land chaotic.

An event, which seemed to be the doomsday for the entire martial world!!
