Chapter 948: Rescue

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In a panic, all the soldiers rolled across the floor like gourds. The facial expression of the captain changed a bit as he stared at Mo Wen in shock.

“Are you a practitioner?”

They had to have encountered a powerful practitioner; otherwise, there was no way for this scene to transpire. Besides, all of his soldiers had gone to war before; everyone of them was strong and skillful. Even ordinary practitioners could not possibly defeat them easily.

Mo Wen glanced at them. To him, these soldiers were nothing more than commoners. They did not pose a threat to him, regardless of their numbers.

His concern was that he had no idea why he had appeared here. Where was this place? Who were these soldiers? These people were different from the people of the world from which Mo Wen came. This world was clearly more likely to be labelled as “olden times” by the outside world. Of course, this place was also slightly different from the olden times of Hua Xia Country. It seemed like every soldier here cultivated martial arts. Their armor and weapons were not ordinary items, either.

Among the soldiers, even those with the lowest level of cultivation had reached the Regulated Breathing realm. As for the captain, he had cultivation in the Sea of Qi realm.

“Who are you? This is a war zone between Xiping and Fengyu. Could it be that you intend to interfere in the war between the two countries?”

The captain turned serious upon seeing that Mo Wen was an enigma. However, his eyes did not show fear or any inclination to retreat. After all, he was a soldier of Fengyu. He was backed up by Fengyu’s vanguard troops. Could it be that a youth dared to stand up against their whole army?

“I am just a vagabond. I ventured to this place unintentionally. Sir, please forgive my trespassing. Um, where is this? Is this place part of an Inner world?”

Mo Wen saluted with his fists and put on a fake smile. He had just arrived; the most important thing for him was, naturally, figuring out his current situation. He could be certain that he was still in the space where his mother lived as a hermit. After all, beforehand, when he was shifting, he did not sense himself traveling through the barrier between spaces. Clearly, he was still in the same space.

Besides, this world seemed huge. It was so huge that it was practically without borders as far as Mo Wen was concerned. Moreover, the people here were different. Even ordinary soldiers could actually practice the martial arts. The captain said that this was a war zone between Xiping and Fengyu. Could it be that this world had many countries, too?

“Oh. So you actually came here unintentionally. The innocent are without blame.”

The captain nodded slightly without showing any expression. Actually, he did not believe Mo Wen’s words at all. If Mo Wen did not know where this was, how did he end up here? Xu Village was located strategically in the center of Xiping. Could it be that this youth came here by crossing space directly? This was, clearly, a ridiculous joke. Even though the captain’s cultivation was not high, he knew that even mighty cultivators at the Soul Primordial realm could not possibly be capable of traveling through space. Even the legendary Tide Changing realm mighty cultivators might not have had such an ability.

The person before him was merely a youth. Even if he cultivated deep martial arts teachings, his realm, too, would be very limited.

The team captain turned his gaze and quietly gave one of his subordinates a look. Upon seeing this, the subordinate immediately left the house and retreated. An unknown youth had appeared in the place where the two armies were engaged. They could not lower their guard. Hence, he planned to first keep Mo Wen occupied while ordering his subordinate to report this matter to the higher-ups.

No matter how he looked at it, this youth’s cultivation was far superior to his own. He did not dare try to forcefully subdue him; he could only occupy him first.

“This b*tch is hindering the military’s official affairs. Drag her away and lock her up for now,” the captain ordered, wavingd his hands with a cold expression as his gaze once again fell on the farm girl.

A few soldiers acted intimidating as they immediately dragged the girl away. Although she resisted with all her might, how could she possibly escape the hands of several burly men?

“Sir, please have mercy and spare my poor girl. I beg of you... I beg you...”

Seeing her own daughter being dragged away, the old woman immediately leaped forward, grabbing the captain’s leg, and kept on beseeching him. She had a desolate look on her face. What good could possibly come from her daughter falling into the hands of these soldiers? She would most likely end up in one of the Fengyu army’s military brothels.

The mere thought of ending up in the military brothels sent chills down people’s spines.

Military brothels were never absent in wars. To a certain degree, they could help soothe the emotions of the soldiers. However, in a large-scale war, hundreds of thousands to millions of soldiers were involved. Under normal circumstances, how could there possibly be enough brothels to meet the demands of the army? To resolve this issue, every time the Fengyu army successfully overran a city, they kidnapped the local women to go to the brothels and satisfy the lusts of high-ranking military officers and the soldiers.

“Get lost!”

The captain kicked the old women away, expressionless. He did so rather viciously, causing her to vomit blood on the spot.

Mo Wen scowled. He would not have imagined that he would encounter such a thing after just arriving in this place. The dignified army of a country was actually suppressing the common people. He could not let that slide.

“Wait a minute.”

Mo Wen said this plainly. Strangely enough, just after he spoke, the two soldiers that were dragging the young maiden outside seemed to have been hit by a spell and froze in place, not moving an inch.

“Sir, what is the meaning of this? I respect you as a guest, but are you planning to interfere with our military affairs?” The captain looked at Mo Wen, somewhat dissatisfied. He had initially wanted to wait for a higher ranking military officer to come over before dealing with this youth.

“Military affairs? Kidnapping local women and harming the common folk? You dare to say those words so freely,” Mo Wen said indifferently. This sort of army was like a swarm of locusts; they would bring harm wherever they went.

“Sir, does that mean that you are prepared to go up against our country of Fengyu?” The captain’s expression turned sullen. Noticing that this village girl was beautiful, his immediate superior officer, a tribune of the left vanguard, had personally instructed him to bring this woman before him. If he messed this up, he would probably not be let off easy.

Upon hearing this, Mo Wen smiled and playfully said, “Can a mere soldier like yourself represent your nation? Furthermore, so what if I am at odds with your country of Fengyu?”

Mo Wen was, by origin, a foreigner, and was here for the first time. He had no intention of making enemies of any faction. However, he was also not afraid of making enemies of any of them. If they were not easy to deal with, in the worst case, he would escape when the time came. After all, he was going to leave this place sooner or later.

Since Mo Wen had decided to do something, he was not going to waste time putting it off. He snorted softly, and the few soldiers who were holding the maiden all vomited blood. At the same time, with a wave of his hand, the girl flew upward and returned to her parents’ side.

The old couple had tears in their eyes. When the girl returned to their side, they hugged her tightly. Who would not be in pain when they saw their daughter being harassed? Who would willingly allow her to be captured by those savage soldiers? Besides, if the girl had left, she would never have come back again. With the army, it was rare for a woman to live for more than three years. Even the few survivors would be in horrible condition. They either suffered from mental illnesses or were scarred for life. They would never be able to return to their hometowns.

However, even though they were reunited with their daughter, the old couple still seemed worried. The young man could help them temporarily, but it was impossible for him to help them forever. Besides, he might not necessarily be able to handle the current situation. As they thought of this, they felt even more troubled.

“You two, don’t be sad. Since I have saved you, naturally I will ensure your safety,” Mo Wen said with a smile. His smile was as refreshing as the spring breeze, and it was persuasive.
