Chapter 1972: The Battle XXIV

Nan Yue was stunned. He did not expect Mu Ling to be so determined, and even more so, he did not expect the people inside to really be indifferent.
Therefore, he did not react for a while.
It was only when Mu Ling’s body fell to the ground with a thud that he returned to his senses, and a wave of anger filled his heart.
“Guard, bring those people to me!”
Feng Tianwu frowned slightly.
The others were already within the city gate. Who else could this group of people find to threaten him?
However, soon, Feng Tianwu’s face changed dramatically…
The guards brought out a group of children!
These children were still young, with tender faces. They still did not understand this world but had they now become sacrificial lambs and would be slaughtered.
“What are you doing to these children?”
Feng Tianwu burst out in anger, rage surging up his heart, and his gaze was filled with indignation.
These children had nothing to do with them.
However, the Nan family was so ruthless to this extent to force him into a corner.
Nan Yue did not say anything. He raised his hand, and a little girl fell in a pool of blood before she could speak.
Her eyes were wide open as if she did not understand why these people wanted to kill her.
“My men found these children along the way. Even though they have no relationship with you, I don’t believe that you, as the emperor of a kingdom, can stand by and watch these children die.”
Feng Tianwu clenched his fists; his gaze was filled with anger.
Those outside the gate were children.
However, there were also more children in Liu Yun Kingdom.
So at this moment, he was caught in a dilemma.
If he broke the formation, this group of people would rush into the city to burn, kill, and rob, and then there would be countless deaths and injuries.
If he did not break the formation, those children outside the gate would die…
Feng Tianwu trembled, and the old master was even angrier.
He stared at the group of people in front of him with eyes filled with murderous intent.
Just as Feng Tianwu pondered, another young boy fell into a pool of blood.
Feng Tianwu’s eyes were bloodshot, and his heart trembled even more.
In the end, he opened his mouth…
“I’ll go out. Let them go, and don’t hurt the people of Liu Yun Kingdom.”
If these people really came for him, he had to face them alone in exchange for so many people’s safety.
However, he would also not let anyone have the opportunity to threaten Qing’er with him…
“Emperor!”
The old general’s heart tightened, and he said in a sober voice, “You can’t go.”
Feng Tianwu smiled faintly and said, “If I don’t go, these people still think of using me to threaten Qing’er. Old General, if I am no longer here, Liu Yun Kingdom still has Zhangqian to handle for the time being.”
As the old general looked up, he saw the determined expression etched upon the man’s face.
He knew that this time, Feng Tianwu was preparing for death.
The old general’s lips trembled as he turned to look at the man outside the city gate.
“I am Qing’er’s grandfather. I am also her family. Why do you have to look for him?”
Nan Yue sneered and looked at the old general. “Our master only said he was looking for Feng Tianwu. He didn’t say he was looking for anyone else! So, we only want him. Feng Tianwu, I can promise you. As long as you come out, I will not hurt anyone.”
“Good.”
Feng Tianwu raised his head and looked into the sky.
He then closed his eyes slowly…
‘Qing’er, this time, Father can no longer wait for you to come back.
‘Father is greedy. I want you and also want to fulfill my duty of guarding the people of this world!’
