Someone objected.

"Master He, the disciples at the foot of the mountain are ordinary people, some of them aren't even martial artists. Sending them up here is just sending them to their deaths, isn't it?"

"Facing a terrifying prodigy like Miracle Doctor Zhang, isn't this like striking a stone with an egg?"

"Nonsense."

He Rui replied nonchalantly,

"It's their honor to sacrifice for the future of the Flying Fox Sect. Besides, even if they don't come up, they will still be dealt with, and then there's no way out for them. A desperate fight will be their only chance of survival."

"If we can't kill this Miracle Doctor Zhang today and seize control of the Flying Fox Sect, then it will be us who die."

Hearing this, the branch hall masters gritted their teeth and started making calls to gather people.

Hu Lie, who was kneeling heavily injured at the main entrance tending to his wounds, furiously cursed at He Rui.

"He Rui, you bastard, I was always wrong about you. I always thought you had a kind heart, never in my dreams did I think you'd collude with Feng Tiangang so despicably, and even worse, you're treating ordinary disciples as a joke."

He Rui sneered coldly.

"Master Hu, since ancient times, those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. Doing great things, how can there be no deaths?"

"Heh."

Zhang Xiaoshan, standing in the middle, sneered disdainfully.

"Master Hu, don't be anxious yet. Give this beast in human guise some time, let him see how many people he can actually gather."

While Zhang Xiaoshan spoke, those branch hall masters and stewards who had taken out their phones to urgently call for reinforcements all showed bewildered expressions.

"Can't connect?"

"The other party has turned off their phone?"

"What's going on?"

"Why does my phone have no signal?"

"Is it a coincidence that no one can be contacted?"

Hearing this, He Rui got anxious.

"Everyone's phones have no signal, they must have used a signal jammer. Humph, do you think I wasn't prepared for this?"

Furious, He Rui pulled a signal flare from his pocket.

"Whoosh."

The signal flare shot into the sky and exploded.

"Alright, let's see how well prepared you are."

Zhang Xiaoshan remained completely indifferent.

After five or six minutes.

Still no one came up the mountain.

Desolate.

"How, how can this be?"

Originally full of confidence, He Rui's face became flustered; at this moment, even a fool could see something was wrong.

"Master He, it seems your people aren't listening to your command."

"Why not give mine a try?"

Saying this, Zhang Xiaoshan took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Come up."

With just these three simple words, he hung up the phone.

"Kid, stop playing tricks. The mountain is completely surrounded by my people. Even if they can't receive my signal and can't come up in time, there's no way other forces can get up here."

"Moreover, over three thousand disciples are participating in the encirclement of Snow Fox Mountain."

"In the Northeastern Territory, besides the Flying Fox Sect, which other power can oppose the Flying Fox Sect?"

"Let's just wait and see."

Zhang Xiaoshan sneered disdainfully.

In just two to three minutes.

"Rumble Rumble"

A loud and chaotic engine roar reached everyone's ears, indicating a significant number of cars coming up the mountain, most equipped with high-powered engines.

"Clank Clank Clank Clank..."

"What, what is that?"

"Is it a bulldozer?"

People noticed at the entrance on the edge of the square, a convoy of bulldozers and excavators appeared.

Many vehicles parked on the road blocking the way were being successively overturned and tossed down the mountain by the bulldozer convoy.

"These can't be our people, can they?"

He Rui and others realized something was amiss.

Immediately after.

"Woo Woo Woo..."

Shrill sirens began to blare.

Behind the bulldozers were black, armored anti-riot vehicles, lined up like a long dragon, at least a hundred of them.

The procession of security vehicles was grandiose.

Due to the blocked road ahead, some security personnel got out and ran up the mountain.

It was clear that those security personnel wore uniform attire and carried adequate gear.

This scene resembled a large-scale anti-riot drill.

"What is going on here?"

The people at the small square on the mountaintop were dumbfounded by the scene before them.
