Chapter 65
The investigation carried out by the Hu Fa committee suggests that Yang Zhong had a spat with others which led to a serious physical fight. Consequently, he got killed in the fight after killing many people.
This is not an account Chu Yuxin would accept. But she is fully aware that the committee has been bought off by Feng's family.
No matter how indignant she is, she has to swallow her feelings because she has nothing to go against the power of Feng's family.
She wants to fill Xiao Potian in about this right now. But the last words of Yang Zhong keep her from doing that. So, she decided to wait until the return of Xiao Potian and she will tell him about all this then.
The committee blocked the news about this case. No one but the family of Chu Yuxin in the whole Nanguang City heard about it.
After the cremation, Chu Yuxin buried Yang Zhong in the Lingshan Graveyard.
It was a simple funeral. Only five people were there paying their last respects to him-Chu Yuxin, Zhou Liping, Shen Ningxiang and Wang Shihan.
It was until Chu Yuxin told Shen Ningxiang and Wang Shihan that they knew Yang Zhong was brutally killed by Feng Zhiyi and the Gang Tiger.
No one could ever imagine the funeral of Yang Zhong, who deserved the salute of all the soldiers in the Tian Long Hotel, to be so desolate and unknown to most people. And the fact that he sacrificed because he chose to act bravely for a just cause added to the aura of grief.
Having the knowledge of what Xiao Potian is capable of, Shen Ningxiang offered Chu Yuxin a piece of advice to tell the tragic death of Yang Zhong to Xiao Potian. Nevertheless, Chu Yuxin sticks to the last words of Yang Zhong and chooses to stay silent for now.
Halfway through the funeral, the parents of Lin Wanqing saved by Yang Zhong came.
Lin Qingwan is clear that Yang Zhong's life was cruelly taken because he was trying to save hers. And this kept her drowning in deep grief and heart-tearing wailing in front of the gravestone.
As for her parents, they couldn't be more grateful for the family of Chu Yuxin and at the same time, they share the overwhelming anguish and guilt with their daughter.
Lin Wanqing and her parents know better than anyone else that Yang Zhong is undeniably a hero. However, as ordinary people without any resources, they are not left with much of a choice but to bow to the mightiness of Feng's family and the Gang Tiger.
Half a month later, on the west border
of the Land of Dragon, amid the dim moonlight and mild wind,
Xiao Potian stood upright with a telescope in his hands, surrounded by the serenity of the night.
Right behind him were hundreds of thousands of valorous soldiers standing by in blood-tainted uniforms,
whereas in front of him were countless bodies of invaders.
Coated with the moonlight, heaps of corpses covered the hills and fields.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe this spine-chilling scene as millions of corpses being the running source of blood flowing over miles of fields.
After half a month of wisely strategizing and deploying, Xiao Potian launched the final attack in the small hours of the morning. In a matter of three hours, all the invaders from the Wolf Land were annihilated in the battle within the border of their Dragon Land.
"All of the crack troops from the Wolf Land have been taken down by us. And now I can say with confidence that this glorious battle could make our enemy tremble with fear on hearing the Dragon God of War. No one stands a chance of winning if our Dragon God of War shows up." Lu Yuanbin, the adviser of the army, while staring at Xiao Potian in awe, exclaimed excitedly.
"You are indeed the Dragon God of War. The way you deploy our soldiers is amazing. This battle surely others see that our Dragon Land is formidable and not one they can mess with. And everyone would know about the fame of the Dragon God of War." Fan Gang remarked proudly, while laying eyes on the bodies of intruders all over the area.
"Precisely. This success is vital. We managed to destroy the approaching enemy with minimal losses. Now that all their elite armies have been demolished which means at least three years of peace within our west border of our Dragon Land. There's no doubt that the Dragon God of War has rendered yet another outstanding service through this battle."Jiang Zheng, the general guarding the west border observed in an appreciative manner.
"This is not just about me. None of this is possible without all the soldiers' strict enforcement of orders and brave fighting the enemies all along. Therefore, all our brothers should be awarded as they deserve. For those who sacrificed on the battlefield should be buried with full honors and pensions should be sent to their families too."Xiao Potian ordered solemnly."
"Yes, Sir." Answered unanimously Jiang Zhengwu, Lu Yuanbin and Fan Gang.
The next day, the news of victory in the battle on the west border coursed through every city and village on the Dragon Land, sending everyone into jubilation.
