As soon as Zhang Hao's command was given, the soldiers immediately went into an uproar.

They were all discussing in whispers, unsure of whether they should listen to Zhang Hao or not.

This was because some of them didn't even know Zhang Meng. When Zhang Hao stopped them, they only saw him for the first time.

However, the Black Armored Army was very familiar with Zhang Meng. After all, he was an old man of the Black Armored Army, and he was even a field officer. The Black Armored Army was very convinced of Zhang Hao's capabilities.

Without saying anything further, the Black Armored Army immediately turned their horses around and prepared to retreat.

At this time, there were a few other troops that followed the Black Armored Army and moved to the front rows, obeying Zhang Hao's orders.

From the looks of it, Zhang Hao's performance just now had gained the approval of a number of people. They were willing to trust Zhang Hao once again.

The army that Li Gang had gathered to 'suppress' Hong Lei was very complicated. There were also many people, and also many small groups. Naturally, there were a few arrogant people who weren't willing to listen to Zhang Meng's orders.

"Why should laozi listen to you?" It wasn't long before a person walked out, unconvinced.

"Are you unconvinced?" Zhang Hao unsheathed his sword.

"Hur hur." "That person laughed coldly." "Your father just won't accept it, how about it …"

Before that person could finish his words, he felt a gust of cold wind blow by, followed by a flash of cold light.

Puff! The old man's throat was cut open, leaving behind a faint trace of blood. Fresh blood gushed out from the wound.

That person also fell to the ground, losing his life on the spot.

Zhang He swung the blood droplets on his sword. That sword attack just now was naturally executed by him.

"Is there anyone else who is unconvinced?" Zhang Hao asked in a clear voice.

He was originally unwilling to kill, but at this time, he was most afraid of his own people fighting amongst themselves. So, he had to make an example and use lightning-like methods to intimidate everyone. Only then would everyone be willing to listen to him.

At this moment, everyone was shocked by Zhang Hao's strength. No one dared to resist. After all, the previous example was lying on the ground and no one would risk their lives to play around.

They were all silent, lowering their heads, no longer looking at Zhang Hao.

"Is no one unconvinced anymore?" Zhang Meng asked again.

"Alright then." Zhang Meng shouted, "Retreat!"

Just as Zhang Meng finished his sentence, everyone in the battle formation shouted in unison, "Yes!"

For a moment, everyone immediately turned their horses around, ready to retreat.

Zhang Hao naturally took the lead and moved to the front of the group. He had just established his prestige, so he needed to make good use of it.

However, in the middle of it all, he secretly turned around to look at the entrance to the main hall. He looked at Yang Muyun and Ye Ning, let out a sigh, and finally turned around.

"Retreat!" Zhang Hao came to the front and shouted as he rode on his horse.

The rest of the group followed closely behind him. Soon, they left this place and disappeared at the end of the road.

Only after seeing that the rest of the troops had left, did the people of Three Boats and Eighteen Docks finally heave a sigh of relief.

The mountain above their heads had finally been moved.

Yang Muyun shook his head, he naturally understood the reason why Zhang Hun was so forceful, and he couldn't say it out loud. However, Yang Muyun knew that Zhang Hun was helping him, so he silently remembered this kindness.

At this moment, the matter was finally over. Yang Muyun let out a sigh of relief, it was time for him to deal with the mess.

Yang Muyun looked at Ye Ning, who was sitting beside him, and said, "Brother Ye, this can be considered as taking revenge, now you can be at ease."

Hearing Yang Muyun's words, Ye Ning slowly stood up, "Many thanks to Young Master Yang."

"No need to thank me." Yang Muyun waved his hand, "Now, you can go back and live a life without any burdens."

"Go, go." Yang Muyun smiled.

"Plop!" No one had expected Ye Ning to kneel on the ground.

"Young Master Yang has avenged me to a great extent. From now on, Ye Ning will follow Young Master Yang's orders." Ye Ning shouted, "Even if I go up the mountain and down to the sea of fire, I, Ye Ning, will not even bat an eye."

"Quickly, get up!" Yang Muyun quickly helped Ye Ning up, "I can't."

"Although I said that Hong Lei's death was related to me, I didn't kill him." Yang Muyun said with a serious expression, "So I'm not your benefactor."

"No, no." Ye Ning shook his head, "Even so, I know that the uncle who did that must have done it because of Young Master Yang."

"So you are my benefactor." Ye Ning insisted.

"This …" Yang Muyun scratched his head.

"Alright then." Yang Muyun sighed, "Even if I killed Hong Lei, right?"

"But there's no need to be like a cow, just be like a horse. We can just be friends."

"This... "Is it suitable?"

Yang Muyun pulled Ye Ning over, "What's wrong with that? From now on, you are my friend, so why are you talking so much between friends?"

"Yes, yes." Ye Ning smiled and nodded heavily.

After Ye Ning's matter was settled, Yang Muyun's gaze was fixated on the people of the Eighteenth Dock.

According to his original plan, he would exterminate all of them. However, when he saw that Qu Rong and Hong Lei would perish together in that manner, he gave up on that idea.

Perhaps what Qu Rong said was right. They shouldn't let the grudge between them involve other people. Cui Cui was the same, as were the elites of Three Ships and Eighteen Docks.

"Hey!" Yang Muyun softly called out.

A person from Three Boats and Eighteen Docks stood up immediately. "Young Hero, what orders do you have?"

"I promised your leader that I would take care of Cui Cui." Yang Muyun said, "Take me to see her."

"Alright." The person nodded, he turned around and pushed open the door, then brought Yang Muyun into the main hall of the third boat's eighteenth dock.

The others didn't procrastinate and followed him in as well.

Once again, Yang Muyun entered the main hall of Three Ship's Eighteen Docks. He felt that the feeling this time was completely different from before.

But before he could think about it, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Big brother." Cui Cui was in the courtyard, and the moment she saw Yang Muyun, she broke free from the man who was holding her and ran towards Yang Muyun.

Yang Muyun naturally retracted his thoughts and picked up Cui Cui.

When he came back to his senses and looked over, the crew of Three Shipping Pier Eighteen had already gathered in front of him.

They all knelt down on one knee and said to Yang Muyun, "This subordinate greets the new commander."

Their eyes were red, but they respected Yang Muyun from the bottom of their hearts.

"You all …" Yang Muyun held Cui Cui and looked at the crowd with a blank expression.

At this moment, a woman in black walked out from within the boat. "Reporting to the new leader, according to the old leader's last instructions, from today onwards, the remaining people of Three Boats Eighteen will follow you and obey your orders."

Yang Muyun could tell that the woman in front of him was the one who had tried to assassinate him in the Chilling Star City. However, he no longer had any intentions of blaming her at this time.

After all, with the death of Qu Rong, all the hatred he had for Three Ship's Eighteen Docks vanished without a trace. Thus, he didn't care about the failed assassination attempt anymore.
