Linghu Chong travelled rapidly to the north and reached a big city on a transparent and exquisite day. He went right into a restaurant within the metropolis. Hubei’s most well-known pastry was dried bean curd with greens and meat wrapped inside a pores and skin constituted of bean curd powder. It was very tasty. Linghu Chong completed three plates of those earlier than he got here out of the store.

As he stepped out of the store, he noticed a gaggle of individuals strolling in the direction of him. Amongst them was a brief and plump fellow. Surprisingly, he was “Outdated Ancestor of Yellow River” Outdated Man. Linghu Chong was actually comfortable to see them and known as out loudly, “Outdated Man! How are you?” Outdated Man was shocked and checked out him awkwardly. He

hesitated for a second earlier than he drew out his sabre.

Linghu Chong already took a step ahead to welcome them. “Zu Qianqiu…” he had not stated something extra when Outdated Man lifted his sabre and chopped down on him. Although there was plenty of energy on this chop, the accuracy was off as Outdated Man missed Linghu Chong’s shoulder by round a foot. He cried out and chopped down once more.

Linghu Chong was frightened and rapidly jumped again. “Mr. Outdated, I am… I am Linghu Chong!”

Outdated Man replied with a shout. “After all I do know you are Linghu Chong. Everybody heard you already. Sacred Woman gave us an order that anybody who meets Linghu Chong should kill him. She’s going to then bathe us with items for following this order. Everybody perceive?”

“We perceive.” The group of people that have been with him replied loudly.

Though they replied Outdated Man with such conviction, they only checked out one another with awkward expressions on their faces and nobody drew their sabres out. Some folks have been really laughing pondering that this was amusing.

Linghu Chong’s face turned crimson occupied with the day Yingying gave that order for Outdated Man to unfold in Jianghu. The order was for them to kill Linghu Chong once they met him. However she really gave that order as a result of she hoped that Linghu Chong would by no means depart her facet. It was additionally to tell the heroes of Jianghu that younger girl Ren was

not crazily in love with Linghu Chong however as a substitute hated him to the bone. Later, after so many unexpected occasions, he had utterly forgotten about this order. Presently, after listening to what Outdated Man stated, he realised that her order had not been cancelled but.

When Outdated Man knowledgeable them of Sacred Woman’s order, the folks within the group didn’t consider him. As a way to save Linghu Chong’s life, she had willingly gone to Shaolin to sacrifice her life. At the moment, the information of the incident wherein she killed 4 secular disciples of Shaolin temple had already unfold and created a sensation in Jianghu. All people praised her bravery for going to Shaolin, however in addition they discovered it actually humorous and in addition thought that this younger girl needed to indicate Shaolin that she was higher than them by going there. It was clear that she liked Linghu Chong deeply as a result of she was keen to trade her personal life to save lots of him. It was additionally clear that she did not

wish to admit to her emotions for him. But it surely was unavoidable that everybody else understood her emotions for him.

Regarding this matter, Yingying’s subordinates from the unorthodox sects have been conscious of it extensively. However the orthodox faculties additionally knew a few of the particulars. In on a regular basis chats, this matter usually turned a laughingstock. So when the folks on this group immediately noticed Linghu Chong, they have been pleasantly shocked however on the similar time in addition they did not know what to do.

Outdated Man stated, “Grasp Linghu, Sacred Woman ordered us to kill you. However your martial artwork is just too excessive, simply then my sabre did not handle to cut you. Please present mercy and do not take my life. Mates, everybody already noticed that it isn’t that we did not wish to kill Grasp Linghu, however it’s simply that we could not kill him. Outdated Man could not do it, so after all none of you can do it both. Is not that proper?”

Everybody erupted in laughter and shouted, “Proper!” One particular person shouted, “Simply now, we have all fought with all our hearts till each events are so drained that we could not even kill one another. It is higher if we simply cease combating. Everybody, let’s go and struggle in ingesting wine. If there is a hero right here who could make Grasp Linghu lifeless drunk then later after we meet Sacred Woman, we’ll inform her that we managed to kill him.”

Everybody laughed madly holding their stomachs whereas saying, “Fantastic, fantastic!”

One other particular person laughingly stated, “Sacred Woman desires us to kill Grasp Linghu, however she did not say that we’ve to make use of swords to do it. So it is sensible to make use of lovely wine to make him lifeless drunk. This may be known as utilizing knowledge to subdue the enemy as a substitute of brawn.”

Cheering loudly, they crowded round Linghu Chong and took him to the largest wine store within the metropolis. There have been greater than forty folks within the group and so they stuffed up six tables in that store. Just a few of them knocked on the benches calling out, “Deliver out the wine!” As soon as Linghu Chong sat down, he requested, “How is Sacred Woman? I am frightened to demise.” When that group of individuals heard him worrying about Yingying, they

have been all actually comfortable.

“All people determined already that on the fifteenth of the twelfth month, we’re all going to the Shaolin temple to get Sacred Woman out of there. In the previous couple of days, the folks within the alliance had been combating endlessly to determine who’s going to be the chief and had injured one another. It is good that Grasp Linghu already arrived. If this management is not taken by you, then who else can do it? If one other particular person have been to guide this alliance, later, after we received Sacred Woman out of the temple, she undoubtedly will not be comfortable,” Outdated Man advised him.

A white-bearded previous fellow laughed, “Yeah! Grasp Linghu should be the Chief of this alliance. Even when we later meet with difficulties and have been unable to get Sacred Woman out, when she heard information of you main us, she’ll nonetheless be extraordinarily comfortable. This place of Chief is a match made in heavens for you and solely Grasp Linghu can take it.”

“This matter of Chief shouldn’t be vital. An important factor is to rescue Sacred Woman out of the temple. Even when I died a merciless demise in doing so, I am nonetheless keen to do it,” Linghu Chong stated.

He did not simply say these phrases thoughtlessly. He actually appreciated Yingying’s sacrificing her personal life for him. Even when he needed to die for Yingying, he would not have given a lot thought to it. Nonetheless, if it have been simply every other day, though he nonetheless would’ve thought the identical factor in his coronary heart, he would not have stated this publicly. Now, this speech of risking demise was stated with ardour and righteousness, it warned everybody to not make enjoyable of Yingying.

Once they heard him stated this, they have been all reassured of him. They felt that Sacred Woman’s judgement was proper about this particular person. That white-bearded particular person stated, “So Grasp Linghu is definitely a passionate and righteous hero. If that false hearsay in Jianghu have been true that Grasp Linghu would not care about anybody however himself, then everybody

right here would’ve turned chilly in the direction of you.”

Linghu Chong stated, “For the previous couple of months, I used to be imprisoned and did not know something concerning the issues occurring in Jianghu. However evening and day, I used to be occupied with Sacred Woman till all my hair turned white. Come, come, come! Let me salute my fellow buddies with a cup. Thanks everybody for striving for Sacred Woman.” Saying this, he

stood up and lifted his cup to drink and was adopted by the others.

“Mr. Outdated, you stated that many buddies are combating for the Chief place and injuring one another needlessly. It is nonetheless not too late for us to go there instantly and advise them to cease,” Linghu Chong stated.

“True. Zu Qianqiu and Night time Cat already went. We must always go meet up with them,” Outdated Man stated.

“The place are they?” Linghu Chong requested.

“Everybody’s gathering on the Yellow Preserve Plain,” Outdated Man stated.

“Yellow Preserve Plain?” Linghu Chong queried.

“It is west of Xiang Yang in the course of Mountain Jing,” That white-bearded previous man stated.

“Let’s eat and drink rapidly then we’ll go to Yellow Preserve Plain. We have already fought for 3 days and three nights ingesting wine up until now and everybody had already considered each means, however nobody’s been capable of make Linghu Chong lifeless drunk. Later, when everybody meets Sacred Woman, you may confess this to her,” Linghu Chong stated.

All of them laughed and stated, “Grasp Linghu wine’s capability is like an ocean. Even when we drink for 3 days and three nights, we’re afraid that we can’t be capable of sustain.”

Strolling facet by facet with Outdated Man, Linghu Chong requested, “How’s your daughter’s sickness? Is she significantly better now?”

Outdated Man replied, “Grasp, your coronary heart is worried about plenty of issues. Though she’s not higher, I am comfortable that she additionally hasn’t gotten any worse.”

Linghu Chong had been holding a query in his coronary heart for the reason that starting. Seeing the folks behind him have been tens of toes away, he requested, “Plenty of buddies stated that Sacred Woman has been benevolent to everyone. I do not perceive how she might have been form to so many individuals in Jianghu when she continues to be so very younger.”

“Grasp actually would not know the explanation?” Outdated Man requested.

Linghu Chong shook his head, “I do not know.”

“Grasp is not an outsider so we needn’t conceal it from you. However everybody has sworn an oath to Sacred Woman to not reveal this secret. Grasp, please forgive our sin,” Outdated Man stated.

Linghu Chong nodded, “Is it as a result of it is inconvenient to say or is it higher to not say it?”

Outdated Man stated, “Go away it to Sacred Woman to personally inform grasp, will not that be significantly better?”

Linghu Chong stated, “The sooner the day I get to see her in particular person the higher.”

On the street, they met two extra teams of individuals going to Yellow Preserve Plain. When mixed, the three teams consisted of greater than 100 folks.

They arrived at Yellow Preserve Plain actually late at evening and noticed a gathering on the west facet of the plain. They have been nonetheless a li away from the gathering however the sounds of individuals calling out might already be heard. Linghu Chong quickened his steps in the direction of the gang. Beneath the moonlight, he might see a really giant crowd surrounding an empty floor. He guessed there have been multiple thousand folks gathering round. He heard an individual shouting, “Chief, Chief, naturally there’s just one one that turns into Chief. With six of you guys, how do you all grow to be Chief?”

One other particular person answered, “The six of us might be thought of as one, and one as six. In case you obey our six brothers’ orders then we six brothers are Chief. You speak an excessive amount of; we’ll tear you into 4 items first earlier than we speak additional.”

Linghu Chong did not must see who was speaking; he already knew that it was one of many Peach Valley Six Fairies. However every of their voices sounded nearly the identical so he could not inform which one it was. Everybody was frightened by what that Peach Valley Fairy stated and did not dare to shout anymore. Nonetheless, it was obvious that the gang refused to just accept the Peach Valley Six Fairies’ phrases as last. Some folks on the outer fringe of the gang have been nonetheless scolding, whereas others have been laughing loudly unseen, and a few have been throwing rocks round. It was whole chaos.

“Who’s throwing rocks at previous man?” Peachtree Leaf Fairy loudly shouted.

“Your previous man,” Somebody answered from the darkness.

“What? In case you’re my brother’s previous man, then you definately’re my previous man too?”

Peachtree Flower Fairy indignantly requested.

One other particular person stated, “That is not essentially true.” A number of hundred folks erupted in laughter once they heard this.

“Why not essentially true?” Peachtree Flower Fairy was confused.

“I additionally do not know why. I solely have one son,” One other particular person chimed in.

“You solely have one son, what’s that received to do with us?” Peachtree Root Fairy questioned.

One other particular person with a tough voice laughed loudly, “Bought nothing to do with you. However most likely received one thing to do together with your brothers.”

“Has it received to something do with me then?” Peachtree Trunk Fairy inquired.

One of many earlier particular person laughed, “Nicely, it’s important to look whether or not your look is just like them or not.”

“Do you assume my look is considerably related? Come out and have a look,” Peachtree Fruit Fairy stated.

“What’s there to take a look at? Have a look at it your self within the mirror,” That particular person laughed.

Abruptly, 4 shadows moved extraordinarily quick. They pushed ahead and grabbed that particular person out. That particular person was tall and large. He most likely weighed round 200 catties. The Peach Valley Six Fairies had caught 4 of his limbs however they did not tear him aside. The 4 fairies checked out his face underneath the moonlight. Then Peachtree Fruit Fairy stated, “Would not seem like me. How can I look that ugly? Quantity three, I am afraid he seems a bit such as you.”

“Pei, am I uglier than you? All of the realm’s heroes are right here, let’s ask them to check,” Peachtree Department Fairy stated.

The folks within the crowd had seen earlier that the Peach Valley Six Fairies weren’t nice to take a look at with bizarre physique shapes and ugly faces. In the event that they needed to decide which one was one of the best trying then that would not be a straightforward process in any respect. Proper now, they have been taking a look at that large man seized within the arms of 4 of the fairies. At any

second, he could possibly be torn to 4 items. Everybody was feeling apprehensive and nobody dared to snort.

Linghu Chong was conscious of the temperaments of the Peach Valley Six Fairies. If one thing went barely fallacious, then this large man can be torn to items. He known as out clearly, “Peach Valley Six Fairies, how about in case you let Linghu Chong appraise you?” As he stated this, he slowly stepped out from the gang.

Once they heard the title “Linghu Chong”, it created a sensation all through the gang. Greater than a thousand pair of eyes have been now educated on him. However Linghu Chong did not look away from the Peach Valley Six Fairies afraid that they could get excited and rip that large man aside. He stated, “Put this pal down first then I will take a look at you.” The 4 fairies instantly put the massive man down.

This man’s stature was very grand and when he stood up on the bottom, he appeared like an iron pagoda. He had simply escaped from demise and was nonetheless scared stiff. His face was gray like a corpse and his entire physique was trembling. He knew that trembling like that was not applicable for a hero, however his physique was trembling by itself and he could not cease it from shaking. He needed to say a couple of phrases to save lots of his face however he solely managed to tremble, “I… I… I…”

Linghu Chong noticed him scared to demise however nonetheless trying good-looking. He stated to the Peach Valley Six Fairies, “Six Peachtree brothers, you do not seem like this pal in any respect. In comparison with him, you are much more good-looking. Peachtree Root Fairy’s bones are fantastic, Peachtree Trunk Fairy’s stature is large and tall, Peachtree Department Fairy’s limbs are slender, Peachtree Leaf Fairy’s eyebrows are distinct and eyes are elegant, Peachtree Flower Fairy’s… his… his eyes are like the celebrities, and Peachtree Fruit Fairy is stuffed with vigour. Whoever meets any of you, he’ll promptly recognise your six righteous and heroic faces, younger… middle-aged and good-looking.”

The group heard this and burst into laughter, however the Peach Valley Six Fairies have been very comfortable. Outdated Man had already skilled struggling underneath the arms of the Peach Valley Six Fairies earlier than, so he knew they have been to not be trifled with. He addressed the gang, “In my view, trying round in any respect the heroes right here, you all have many

varieties of good martial arts. However talking of facial appearances, nobody can evaluate with the Peach Valley Six Fairies.”

After listening to this, the gang began to name out. Somebody hollered, “Not solely good-looking but in addition elegant. Nobody on the planet can come near them.”

One other one known as out, “When Pan An retreated, Tune Yu additionally retreated.”

And one other one chimed in, “In Wulin, the primary to quantity six most good-looking males are these six folks. Grasp Linghu is quantity seven at most.”

The Peach Valley Six Fairies grinned from ear to ear pondering that these folks have been really praising them. They did not realise that they have been really being teased. Peachtree Department Fairy stated, “My mum used to say that the six of us are stinking ugly. So she was fallacious.” One other particular person laughed, “After all she’s fallacious. There are solely six of you, how do you flip into stinking ugly?”

One other particular person softly stated, “Add into that their dad and mum…” however earlier than he managed to complete this sentence, the folks round him rapidly coated up his mouth.

Outdated Man stated in a loud voice, “Mates, we’ve some luck tonight. Grasp Linghu was nearly to single-handedly break via Shaolin temple and get Sacred Woman out. However he met us on the way in which and heard that everybody is right here so he got here to speak with us. He stated their appearances are good-looking, naturally we’ll regard Peach Valley Six Fairies…” When the gang heard this, they burst into laughter once more.

Outdated Man waved his hand telling them to cease however among the many laughter, somebody stated, “Breaking via Shaolin temple to save lots of Sacred Woman is an enormous matter. What does it must do with facial appearances? In my view, we should always simply provide Grasp Linghu the Chief place and ask him to preside over all issues and provides out orders. Everybody will then respectfully comply together with his orders. What does everybody consider this?”

Everybody within the crowd knew that Sacred Woman was trapped in Shaolin due to Linghu Chong. In addition they knew that Linghu Chong’s martial artwork was excellent. That day in Henan, he fought along with Xiang Wentian in opposition to heroes from all paths. That incident created a sensation in Jianghu. However even when he was weak, they’d nonetheless give him the place of chief in respect to Sacred Woman. Once they heard what Outdated Man and the opposite particular person stated, they have been all comfortable and began to cheer and applaud. Peachtree Flower Fairy immediately stated awkwardly, “After we rescued younger girl Ren out of the temple, will she grow to be Linghu Chong’s spouse?”

The entire folks right here revered younger girl Ren however in addition they thought what Peachtree Flower Fairy stated wasn’t fallacious. However they’d by no means have dared to publicly say this. Linghu Chong was utterly embarrassed and stayed silent. Peachtree Leaf Fairy stated, “He desires a spouse and in addition desires to grow to be Chief. That is too good of him. We’ll assist him rescue his spouse, however it’s higher if the place of Chief is occupied by us, six brothers.” Peachtree Root Fairy stated, “Yeah! Provided that his ability is healthier than us then we do not have to debate this matter anymore.”

Abruptly, Peachtree Root, Peachtree Trunk, Peachtree Department, and Peachtree Fruit Fairies moved collectively. They grabbed Linghu Chong’s 4 limbs and lifted him up within the air. They moved actually quick and there was no trace that they have been going to do that so it was too late for Linghu Chong to keep away from it.

The group was frightened to see this and so they known as out collectively, “Do not do this! Let go of him!”

Peachtree Leaf Fairy laughed, “Don’t fret everybody. We’re not going to harm him. We’re simply going to make him promise to make us Chief…”

He had not completed talking when Peachtree Root, Peachtree Trunk, Peachtree Department, and Peachtree Fruit Fairies immediately shouted unusually and tossed Linghu Chong away. They blurted out, “You… why are you utilizing such a demonical methodology?”

When Linghu Chong’s 4 limbs have been grabbed by these 4 idiots, he was actually afraid that they’d actually rip him aside so he instantly used his Artwork of Essence Absorbing. The 4 Peachtree Fairies felt their inner vitality flowing out of their palms. Once they tried to make use of their inside vitality to withstand the stream, it really poured out even sooner. So that they have been frightened and rapidly let go of him. Linghu Chong somersaulted and landed steadily on his toes.

Peachtree Leaf Fairy swiftly requested, “What?”

Peachtree Root Fairy and Peachtree Fruit Fairy answered collectively, “This… this Linghu Chong’s martial artwork is basically bizarre. We will not maintain on to him.”

“It isn’t that we won’t maintain on to him. Simply that immediately, we do not wish to maintain on to him anymore,” Peachtree Trunk Fairy corrected.

The folks within the crowd cheered loudly and stated, “Peach Valley Six Fairies, do you submit now?”

“Linghu Chong is our six brothers’ good pal. Linghu Chong is identical as Peach Valley Six Fairies. Peach Valley Six Fairies is identical as Linghu Chong. If Linghu Chong turns into Chief then it will be similar to the Peach Valley Six Fairies changing into Chief. So what’s there to not undergo?” Peachtree Root Fairy stated.

“In the entire world, how are you going to not undergo your self? Your query is just too silly,” Peachtree Fruit Fairy added.

When the gang appeared on the expressions of the Peach Valley Six Fairies, they guessed that the Peach Valley Six Fairies had suffered a loss once they grabbed Linghu Chong however they have been now simply saving face and did not wish to acknowledge it. Though the gang did not actually perceive the explanation, they began cheering and laughing anyway.

Linghu Chong stated, “Mates, this time we’ll meet the Sacred Woman and in addition rescue our many buddies who’ve been trapped in Shaolin temple. Shaolin temple is Wulin’s most revered place and their 72 distinctive expertise have lengthy been well-known for a number of hundred years. Any sect alone wouldn’t be capable of contend in opposition to them, however we’ll simply overwhelm them with quantity since we’ve over a thousand heroes right here

and extra good males to come back. Though our martial artwork is inferior in comparison with Shaolin’s monks and their secular disciples, we’ll certainly win by combating them ten to at least one.”

Everybody cheered, “Proper, proper! Is it actually true that Shaolin’s monks have three heads and 6 arms?”

Linghu Chong continued, “Nonetheless, though Shaolin’s Nice Masters have imprisoned Sacred Woman, they have not handled her badly. The temple’s Nice Masters are realized and righteous eminent monks. They’re additionally merciful and other people respect them for his or her virtues. So even when we destroy Shaolin temple, I am afraid Jianghu’s heroes will say that we have gained solely by counting on our sheer quantity, which isn’t the

behaviour of heroes. That is why for my part, we should always speak respectfully with them first earlier than combating then we are able to say that we have yielded a step to Shaolin temple. This fashion, we might put Sacred Woman and our different buddies out of hazard. We’d additionally keep away from an enormous battle which is an efficient factor.”

“Grasp Linghu’s phrases swimsuit properly with me. If we’re actually going to struggle, then each side will endure many deaths and accidents,” Zu Qianqiu stated.

“However Grasp Linghu’s phrases do not swimsuit me. If each events do not struggle then there will not be many deaths and accidents on each side. The place’s the enjoyable then?” Peachtree Department Fairy stated.

“We already agreed that Grasp Linghu is Chief. So everybody should hearken to his order,” Zu Qianqiu stated.

“Right, it’s best to allow us to six brothers give orders out,” Peachtree Root Fairy stated.

The group heard these six brothers making a scene and obstructing the actual points being mentioned. They have been mad and lots of people grasped the handles of their swords and sabres already ready for Linghu Chong’s order. As soon as the order was given, they’d instantly chop these six brothers into items. Though the six brothers’ martial arts have been greater, they’d by no means be capable of repeatedly block the assaults from dozens of individuals.

Zu Qianqiu stated, “What does a Chief do? Naturally they offer orders out. If he would not give orders out then how can he nonetheless be known as Chief? After all this character “zhu” implies that he has to offer out orders.”

/(

Now, when a downwards-left curved character stroke known as “pie” is added to the character “min” ( 皿 ), then it turns into “xue” ( 血 ). Xue means blood.

)/

“Since that is the case, simply name him “meng” solely with out the “zhu”,” Peachtree Flower Fairy stated.

Peachtree Leaf Fairy shook his head, “Calling him “meng” solely may be very troublesome.”

“In my esteemed opinion, since calling him “meng” solely is troublesome, why do not we tear aside this character and we are able to name him “ming xue”!” Peachtree Trunk Fairy stated.

“Unsuitable, fallacious! If you tear open the character “meng”, the character on the backside, much less a “pie”, is not the character “xue”. So what character is that?” Peachtree Department Fairy stated.

The Peach Valley Six Fairies did not know the character “min” was from the phrase “qi min” (Family utensils). Everybody within the crowd did not wish to comply with their shameful behaviour in order that they did not say something.

Peachtree Trunk Fairy stated, “It might much less a ‘bit’, it is nonetheless ‘xue’. It is best if I lower you to indicate you, if I lower you deeply then plenty of blood will come out. So it is nonetheless blood. If I take into accounts the sentiments between us and lower you flippantly then not a lot blood will come out. Though it is much less, it is nonetheless blood.”

Peachtree Department Fairy indignantly stated, “In case you’re giving me a lower then after all it may be gentle. There is no must take into accounts the sentiments between us. Why do you wish to give me a lower?”

Peachtree Trunk Fairy stated, “My “ke” would not have lower. My hand additionally would not have a sabre.”

Peachtree Flower Fairy requested, “Then what occurred in case your hand has a sabre?”

The group heard them speaking much more nonsense as they talked extra and so they could not take it anymore, “Be quiet! Everybody’s attempting to hearken to Chief’s order.”

Peachtree Department Fairy stated, “He already completed giving his order, why should we be quiet?”

Linghu Chong raised his voice, “Mates, the fifteenth of the twelfth continues to be seventeen days away. Everybody, let’s transfer there slowly. By the point we received to Songshan, it would be round that date already. This time, we’re not entering into secret so we’ll be going with large banners and beating on drums. Tomorrow, we’ll purchase cloths to make large banners and write “World’s Heroes Going to Shaolin Temple to Meet Sacred Woman”. We’ll additionally purchase some leather-based drums to beat on after we’re shifting. When the Shaolin’s monks and secular disciples hear this, they’re going to really feel discouraged earlier than combating.”

Most of those unorthodox folks have been really good folks. So once they heard of his plan, they have been extraordinarily comfortable and began to cheer loudly shaking the entire valley. Amongst them there have been additionally numerous skilled and regular older individuals who did not specific their opinion. However once they heard the gang feeling happy, they only smiled. At daybreak, Linghu Chong requested Zu Qianqiu, Ji Wushi, and Outdated Man to make the banners and purchase some leather-based drums. At midday, they completed writing these phrases on the banner and had purchased a couple of leather-based drums.

Linghu Chong stated, “We’ll begin our journey now. Alongside the street, we’ll be passing plenty of cities so we’ll simply preserve shopping for extra shares there.”

The group have been beating on the drums and roaring battle cries as they moved north in squadrons. Linghu Chong had seen how Heng-Shan College’s disciples have been ambushed on the Xianxia mountain vary. After some dialogue, he dispatched seven sects. Two sects have been despatched to the entrance to behave as sentries, two sects have been defending the left, two sects have been defending the proper, and the opposite one stayed behind to assist wherever wanted whereas the remainder of the folks moved with the principle group. He additionally dispatched Hanshui River’s Divine Crow Clan to behave as messengers. Divine Crow Clan was an area clan and their circle of affect prolonged from Hubei on the north all the way down to Henan on the south. If there have been the slightest signal of hassle, they’d know of it as quickly as attainable. As he assigned orders, in addition to the Peach Valley Six Fairies, everybody obeyed his orders utterly.

Within the few days that they have been travelling, heroes repeatedly joined their group. In addition they had extra banners and extra drums as they went. Together with the sounds of drums, it was very noisy with two 1000’s folks shouting alongside as they went in the direction of Shaolin.

Once they arrived on the foot of Mount Wudang, Linghu Chong stated, “Wudang College is Wulin’s second largest college. The title of their college thrives and so they’re second solely to Shaolin. Although we’ll rescue Sacred Woman from Shaolin College, we do not wish to offend Shaolin. Naturally, we do not wish to offend Wudang College both. So we’ll keep away from the principle street to go throughout this space to indicate the chief of Wudang College some respect and to indicate them that we’re not attacking their college. What does everybody consider this?”

“No matter Grasp Linghu says, we’ll do it. We’ll be glad as long as we’re capable of rescue the Sacred Woman. So there is not any must do different irrelevant issues or make highly effective enemies with anybody else. What’s the usage of levelling the Wudang College however not with the ability to rescue Sacred Woman?” Outdated Man stated.

Linghu Chong stated, “That is superb then! Please go the order to cease the drums and decrease the banners. We’re turning to the east.” In a brief second, everybody began to go east.

As they have been travelling that day, they noticed an individual using a donkey coming in the direction of them. Following behind him have been two farmers every carrying a basket on a pole on his shoulder. One was carrying greens and the opposite one was carrying some firewood. The previous particular person using the donkey had a bent again and was coughing incessantly. The garments he was carrying was filled with patches. When the gang noticed this trio coming in the direction of them with out making means, plenty of them put their arms on the handles of their weapons. Alongside the street, they’d been making plenty of noise and each time any pedestrian noticed them, they instantly went to at least one facet of the street letting them go. However these three folks turned a blind eye to them and simply stored on coming in the direction of the group.

Peachtree Root Fairy scolded, “What are you doing?” as he pushed the donkey together with his hand. The donkey neighed as soon as earlier than dropping down as its leg was damaged. The previous particular person using the donkey was thrown to the bottom and stayed down huffing and puffing. Linghu Chong felt sorry as he stooped down to assist the previous man stand up. “I am actually sorry. Elder, are you harm?”

That previous man was nonetheless huffing and puffing, “What… what… what is going on on? I am a poor man…” The 2 farmers put their masses down and stood in the course of the street. They put each their arms on their waist and have been trying offended.

The particular person carrying the vegetable pantingly stated, “That is the foot of Mount Wudang. Who’re you folks to daringly hit folks round right here?”

“The foot of Mount Wudang, what sort of place is that?” Peachtree Root Fairy requested.

That man stated, “Everybody on the foot of Mount Wudang is aware of martial artwork. You are strangers right here. Why do you act recklessly right here within the fields on the foot of Mount Wudang and ask for hassle?”

The folks within the group noticed that these folks had yellow faces and have been very skinny. They have been round fifty years previous. When that particular person carrying the vegetable spoke, his breath wasn’t sturdy however he claimed to be succesful in martial artwork so the folks in group have been laughing loudly at them.

“You additionally know martial artwork?” Peachtree Flower Fairy teased.

That man replied, “On the foot of mount Wudang, even a 3 12 months previous can do shadowboxing, a 5 12 months previous can already use a sword. What’s so uncommon about that?”

Peachtree Flower Fairy pointed to the particular person carrying firewood and laughed, “How about him? He additionally is aware of martial artwork?”

The particular person carrying firewood replied, “I… I… after I was small, I realized martial artwork for a couple of months. However I have never practised it for a number of years now. This martial artwork… sigh, they’ve grow to be rusted now.”

“Wudang College’s martial artwork is primary on the planet. It solely must be studied for a couple of months and you will not be our match,” the vegetable-person stated.

Peachtree Leaf Fairy laughed, “Why do not you do a couple of actions to offer us a glance?”

“Present what? You will not be capable of perceive it anyway,” the firewood-person stated.

The group erupted in laughter and so they all stated, “We could not perceive however we are able to nonetheless look.”

The firewood-person stated, “Ai, in that case, I will present you a couple of strikes then. Do not know if I nonetheless bear in mind all of them… Lend me a sword.” An individual got here out from the gang and handed him a sword. The firewood man then went out to the center of the hardened rice subject and began to thrust to the east and slash to the west. After about three or 4 strikes, he immediately forgot what the following transfer was. He scratched his head pondering for a bit bit then confirmed a couple of extra strikes. Everybody noticed that his sword actions weren’t methodical and his physique and hand actions have been extraordinarily clumsy. All of them clutched their stomachs laughing loudly at him.

“What’s so humorous? Let me present you a couple of strikes. Give me a sword,” The vegetable-person stated. He then began to thrust and slash the sword very quickly in a disorderly trend as if he was insane. This made the gang laughed even more durable. To start with, Linghu Chong additionally laughed however after seeing greater than ten strikes, he was astounded. These two folks’s sword artwork, one being sluggish and the opposite one being very quick, really had little or no flaws. Their strikes appeared very ugly however the sword strikes really had many variations. It appeared that they’d solely displayed a fraction of the sword transfer’s energy and did not reveal the remaining potential energy of the sword strikes.

Linghu Chong instantly stepped ahead and bowed in the direction of them. He stated heartily, “In the present day, I paid my respect to 2 seniors and noticed your excessive sword arts. I really feel actually honoured.” The 2 males put their swords away.

The firewood-person stared at him, “Little child, you understood our sword artwork?”

“I do not dare to say that I perceive. Each of you’ve got profound sword arts, how would I dare to say that I perceive them? Wudang College’s sword artwork may be very well-known all through the world. It actually makes one praises to the heavens,” Linghu Chong replied.

The vegetable-person requested, “Little child, what’s your title?”

Linghu Chong had not answered but when a couple of folks from the gang known as out, “What little child?” “He is our Chief, Grasp Linghu.” “Nation bumpkins, communicate extra politely!”

The firewood-person stated, “Linghu Melon? Not A Mao or A Gou, however some type of melon seed. Your title’s actually ugly.”

Linghu Chong cupped his fist, “In the present day, Linghu Chong is ready to see Wudang’s divine sword artwork. It is actually admirable. I’ll go up the mountain to fulfill Priest Chongxu one other day. I sincerely admire him. Can two seniors please reveal your honourable surnames and given names?”

The firewood-person spat on the bottom and stated, “You may have so many individuals making a lot noise right here. Beating gongs and drums continuous. Is that this a funeral procession?”

Linghu Chong knew that these two folks should be masters from the Wudang College. So he respectfully bowed to them, “We now have a pal who’s being detained contained in the Shaolin temple. We’re going there to beg Abbot Fangzheng’s mercy to launch this particular person.”

The vegetable-person stated, “So it isn’t a funeral procession! However you have harm my uncle’s donkey, are you going to pay?”

Linghu Chong led three steeds over and stated, “These three horses aren’t pretty much as good as senior’s donkey. However I am compelled to ask seniors to just accept them. We juniors did not know that it was senior who was using. Please forgive us.” After he completed saying this, he led the three horses over to them.

The group noticed Linghu Chong’s perspective changing into increasingly modest and respectful. They noticed that he was doing this on goal and have been very shocked to see this.

“You already know our sword artwork now. Do you wish to evaluate some strikes?” The vegetable-person requested.

“Junior shouldn’t be the match of two seniors,” Linghu Chong stated.

The firewood-person stated, “You do not wish to struggle. However I wish to struggle.” On the similar time he stated this, he thrust his sword crookedly in the direction of Linghu Chong.

Linghu Chong noticed this sword transfer was fantastic because it coated 9 deadly factors on his higher physique. “Good sword artwork!” Linghu Chong known as out and on the similar time, pulled his lengthy sword out and in addition thrust his sword. That firewood-person appeared as if he simply randomly thrust his sword at an empty house and Linghu Chong countered by sweeping his sword in a circle on the similar empty house. The 2 folks had used

round seven to eight strikes. Every of their thrust was all the time geared toward an empty house and their swords had not clashed but, however the firewood-person stored retreating step-by-step.

The vegetable-person known as out, “Melon seed, so you’ve got a little bit of ability in any case,” as he raised his sword and disorderly began to thrust and slash. In a brief second, he had slashed out round twenty instances. Not solely was every of his slash in the direction of Linghu Chong did not hit him however the tip of his sword was really nonetheless round seven to eight toes away from Linghu Chong’s physique. Elevating his sword, Linghu Chong generally

carried out a transfer in the direction of that firewood-person and generally he thrust at an empty house in the direction of that vegetable-person. The tip of his sword was additionally round seven to eight toes away from their our bodies. However when these two folks noticed Linghu Chong’s transfer, their expressions revealed their urgency both to leap to keep away from his slash or to brandish their swords to dam.

The group of heroes watching this have been all stupefied. The tip of Linghu Chong’s sword was nonetheless distant from the 2 folks and there wasn’t the slightest little bit of wind when he thrust his sword and so they have been sure that he wasn’t utilizing any type of invisible sword vitality to assault. However why are these two folks trying frightened as in the event that they have been too late in avoiding or blocking the sword?

As they noticed extra intently, the gang got here to know that these two folks should be two martial arts masters. Presently, when these two folks have been utilizing their strikes to assault, one was nonetheless attacking sluggishly and one was nonetheless attacking like a mad man. However on the similar time, they nonetheless managed to pay attention absolutely on defending themselves. Once they have been avoiding or blocking Linghu Chong’s assault, their actions have been gentle and regular. Now there was no extra laughter from the gang.

Abruptly Linghu Chong heard these two folks whistled and adjusted their sword artwork utterly. The firewood-person slashed his lengthy sword in a big round path. Whereas the vegetable-person used very quick actions going backwards and forwards making a starlike reflection together with his sword.

Linghu Chong pointed his sword at a slight upward angle and unexpectedly he stopped utterly. His two eyes have been now generally staring on the firewood-person and generally casting a sidelong look at that vegetable-person. As his eyes checked out a sure place, these two folks did one in all these three issues — they rapidly modified their sword strikes or cried out then retreated or turned their assaults into defence.

Ji Wushi, Outdated Man, and Zu Qianqiu had good martial arts. They steadily realised that when these two folks moved to defend themselves, it was due to Linghu Chong’s stare. He was all the time looking at their deadly acupoints.

They noticed the firewood-person lifted his sword to slash it down and Linghu Chong gazed at his decrease stomach’s Shanggu acupoint. He had not completed his slash when he rapidly withdrew it to dam his Shanggu acupoint. Presently, the vegetable-person thrust his sword in the direction of Linghu Chong. Linghu Chong responded by trying on the Tianting acupoint which was on the left facet of his neck. That particular person

swiftly lowered his head which induced his sword to penetrate deep into the hardened rice subject. It was as if Linghu Chong’s two eyes have been taking pictures projectiles and he would not allow Linghu Chong’s two eyes to try his neck’s Tianting acupoint.

These two folks have been nonetheless utilising their sword strikes and the sweat on their our bodies was seeping via their garments. In a short time, their trousers had additionally grow to be moist with their sweat. That previous man using the donkey had thus far simply stayed on the facet and never stated a factor. He immediately coughed and stated, “Admirable, admirable. The 2 of you step again.”

The 2 males replied collectively, “Sure!” However Linghu Chong’s eyes have been nonetheless circling round, by no means leaving their deadly acupoints. The 2 folks waved their swords and retreated on the similar time. From the start to the tip, they did not handle to interrupt away from Linghu Chong’s gaze.

That previous particular person stated, “Good sword artwork! Grasp Linghu, permit this previous man to ask in your recommendation.”

Linghu Chong replied, “You flatter me!” as he circled and cupped his fist greeting the previous man. Solely now the 2 folks have been lastly free of the restraint of Linghu Chong’s eyes. On the similar time, they jumped backwards feeling similar to two freed birds as they flew for tens of toes away.

The group cheered them. Although the gang did not perceive their sword arts in any respect, they may see the duo’s excessive martial arts from the way in which they jumped, the gap they coated, and the great thing about their actions.

The previous man stated, “Grasp Linghu was very forgiving together with his sword strikes. If he have been actually combating, you two would have a thousand holes and 100 accidents in your our bodies. And do you assume he would have allowed you to complete your sword strikes? Come right here rapidly to thank him.”

The 2 males rapidly flew over and bowed deeply. The vegetable-person stated, “In the present day I came upon that there is a heaven exterior this heaven and there is one other particular person above me. Grasp’s excessive martial artwork may be very uncommon on this world. Please forgive me for my rudeness earlier than.”

Linghu Chong returned his propriety, “Wudang’s sword artwork is divine. Your two sword arts, one is Yin and one is Yang. Can they be the Taiji Sword?”

The vegetable-person stated, “Grasp is laughing at us. The sword artwork we’re utilizing is the “Double Ritual Sword Artwork”. It’s divided into Yin and Yang however we’ve not managed to mix them but.”

“Earlier than after I was watching on the facet, I used to be having difficulties distinguishing the sword artwork’s subtlety. If we have been really combating for actual, I would definitely not be capable of benefit from the sword artwork’s weak spot,” Linghu Chong stated.

The previous man stated, “Why should grasp be so modest? The spots that grasp was taking a look at are undoubtedly the Double Ritual Sword Artwork’s weak factors. Ai, this kind of sword artwork… this kind of sword artwork…” He repeatedly shook his head, “Greater than fifty years in the past, Wudang College had two monks. It was on this street that the Double Ritual Sword Artwork was developed via their tens of years of onerous work. I used to be conscious that the sword artwork consists of 1 Yin and one Yang, tender and onerous, Ai!”

He set free an extended sigh, “I am additionally conscious that this sword artwork wouldn’t stand in opposition to a grasp swordsman.”

Linghu Chong respectfully stated, “These two uncles’ sword arts are already so fantastic. If it have been Wudang College’s Priest Chongxu or the opposite masters, then it might be not possible for me to differentiate the key of the sword artwork on my own. Junior and buddies right here have gone previous the underside of Wudang Mountain, however we at present have a matter we should do. So we’ve to be rude and never go up the mountain to pay our respects to Priest Chongxu. As soon as we have completed with this matter, I might go as much as the Wudang Monastery and kowtow to the gods and Priest Chongxu.”

At first, Linghu Chong was feeling haughty in the direction of them. However after seeing the onerous and tender features of their sword arts collectively and the various miraculous variations of it, he really felt some admiration in his coronary heart. Thus, though he had found the failings within the sword strikes, in his coronary heart, he really actually admired them. In any case, in

this world, which sword transfer did not have any flaws?

He was guessing that this previous man should be Wudang College’s first-class grasp. That was why he stated these few sentences so sincerely. That previous man nodded his head, “You are still younger however you are not conceited in any respect. That is additionally very uncommon. Grasp Linghu, have been you taught by Huashan College’s senior Feng Qingyang?”

Linghu Chong was startled and thought, “Wow, his eyesight is so good. I did not count on that he would discover out about my sword artwork’s background. Although I can not disclose grand martial uncle Feng’s whereabouts, as a result of he already inquired frankly, I could not mislead him.” He stated, “Junior was fortunate. I as soon as had the chance to be taught a few of grand martial uncle Feng’s sword artwork at a superficial stage.” These phrases had two meanings and it did not reveal that Feng Qingyang had as soon as taught him personally.

That previous man smiled barely, “Superficial information, superficial information! Hey, hey, superficial information of senior Feng’s sword artwork, is it that simple to accumulate?” He took the sword from the firewood-person’s hand and grasped it in his left hand. “Let me obtain some classes from this superficial information of senior Feng’s sword artwork.”

Linghu Chong stated, “How can Junior dare to struggle senior?”

That previous man simply smiled barely whereas he slowly turned to the proper and raised his left hand upwards until his sword was in entrance of his chest. The purpose of his sword began to maneuver circularly as if it was surrounding a ball concerning the measurement of two palms. Linghu Chong watched his sword attentively as he understood that this transfer contained infinite variations. That previous man slowly moved ahead together with his sword nonetheless circling. Linghu Chong felt a dense chilly air urgent as much as him and if he did not return his transfer now then he would not be capable of do it later. He stated, “Sorry for offending senior.” He wasn’t capable of see the weak spot within the sword motion so he simply made a false thrust together with his sword.

Abruptly, that previous man threw his sword into his proper hand. With a flash of sunshine, the sword slashed in the direction of Linghu Chong’s neck. This slash was an especially quick killing motion. The spectators could not assist however gasp in fear.

However because the previous man exerted himself on this strike, Linghu Chong noticed a weak level on the decrease a part of his physique. He thrust his sword in the direction of the previous man’s Yuanye acupoint on the decrease a part of his physique. The previous man moved his sword to dam the thrust and the 2 swords clashed. Each folks retreated a step. Linghu Chong felt that the previous man’s

sword was laced with inner vitality which made his proper hand shook. Linghu Chong might additionally really feel needles and pins on his arm due to the affect. That previous man was additionally shocked and an expression of amazement could possibly be seen on his face.

The previous man switched his sword to his left hand once more and drew two circles in entrance of his physique. Linghu Chong noticed that his sword moved repeatedly and guarded his entire physique. It was unexpectedly with none flaws. Linghu Chong was secretly amazed, “I’ve by no means seen a sword artwork with none weak spot earlier than. If he assaults like this, how do I break it? Maybe Senior Ren Woxing’s sword artwork is extra highly effective in comparison with this previous mister, however each transfer of his nonetheless has a weak spot. How can or not it’s that this previous man’s sword artwork has no weak spot in any respect?” He began to really feel afraid and beads of sweat began to type on his brow.

That previous man fashioned his proper fingers right into a sword type and his left hand was repeatedly shifting. Abruptly he thrust out, the tip of the sword vibrating; nobody might see the place the sword was aiming at.

This thrust enveloped seven main acupoints on Linghu Chong’s higher physique. However due to this, Linghu Chong was additionally capable of see three weaknesses on his opponent’s higher physique. He didn’t must assault all these weak factors, one can be enough to take the previous man’s life. He thought, “When he is defending, he has no weak spot in any respect. However when he begins to assault, there’s nonetheless a weak spot that may be

attacked.” as he casually pierced his lengthy sword in the direction of the previous man’s left eyebrow.

If that previous man continued together with his thrust then his left brow can be pierced first. Although his thrust was sooner than Linghu Chong’s, it was nonetheless a step too late.

That previous man rapidly turned his sword round. Abruptly, Linghu Chong noticed a couple of circles of white gentle. Large circle, small circle, upright circle, slanting circle, they have been all flickering incessantly. As he noticed these flowery patterns in his eyes, he rapidly turned his sword and slantingly attacked the sword circles. “Tang” as each swords

clashed with one another. Linghu Chong felt his arm tingling from the affect.

That previous man continued to maneuver his swords creating increasingly flickering circles as they moved. Not lengthy after, his entire physique was surrounded in the course of these rings of sunshine. One circle of sunshine had not but disappeared when one other circle of sunshine was fashioned. Although his lengthy sword was extraordinarily quick, there was no sound of the sword’s edge splitting the air in any respect. It indicated that he had reached the stage of perfection the place the sword was tender however but nonetheless sturdy.

Presently, Linghu Chong could not see any weak spot in his sword artwork and felt as if there have been 1000’s of swords defending this previous man’s entire physique. The previous man was purely defending in the mean time so there was no weak spot in his sword artwork. However this sword entrance was really like a shifting fort and the 1000’s of sunshine circles

resembled a tide because it slowly rushed ahead. That previous man wasn’t attacking utilizing one transfer at a time anymore. He was now utilizing tens of strikes to guard himself whereas on the similar time used this to assault. Linghu Chong was unable to withstand this as he retreated to keep away from it.

He retreated a step and the circles of sunshine moved ahead a step. In a short while, Linghu Chong had retreated seven to eight steps. The group noticed that their Chief was now in an unfavourable scenario and was about to lose. They have been holding their breath watching and chilly sweat began to moist their arms. Peachtree Root Fairy immediately stated, “What sword artwork is that? It is like a baby drawing some circles. I can draw too.”

“Come, I will draw some circles. My circle would undoubtedly be extra spherical than his,” Peachtree Flower Fairy stated.

“Brother Linghu, do not be afraid. In case you lose, we’ll tear this previous fellow into 4 items to vent your anger,” Peachtree Department Fairy stated.

“What you stated was fallacious. One, he is Chief Linghu not brother Linghu. Two, how are you aware that he is afraid?” Peachtree Leaf Fairy stated.

“Although Linghu Chong has grow to be Chief, he is nonetheless youthful than me. So as soon as he is chief, does he then additionally grow to be large brother Linghu, uncle Linghu, grandpa Linghu, nice grandpa Linghu?” Peachtree Department Fairy stated.

Presently, Linghu Chong retreated once more and the gang was feeling very anxious. Once they heard the Peach Valley Six Fairies speaking nonsense, they now received offended.

Linghu Chong retreated one other step and his left foot stepped right into a puddle of water. A thought flashed in his thoughts, “That day grand martial uncle Feng repeatedly advised me to maintain in my coronary heart that the world’s martial artwork is ever altering and there are additionally uncommon ones. However regardless of how fantastic the opponent’s strikes are, they’re nonetheless

strikes. So there should be a weak spot. When hero Dugu handed on his sword artwork, he had no match on this world as a result of he was capable of see his enemy’s weak spot. Proper now, this senior’s sword artwork is circling round and has no weak spot in any respect. But it surely should be as a result of I had not been capable of see the weak spot but.”

He retreated a couple of extra steps as he gazed at his opponent’s numerous circles of sunshine. Abruptly, a thought leapt into his head, “Perhaps the centre of the circle is the weak spot. But when it isn’t a weak spot and I thrust in there, he can twist his sword and lower my arm off.”

He additionally thought, “Fortunately, his means of assault can solely go ahead slowly. If he actually desires to kill me, it will not be that simple. But when I preserve retreating, that is simply the identical as shedding. If I lose this battle, everybody can be discouraged. Then how would we be capable of break via Shaolin and save Yingying?”

On the considered Yingying’s kindness in the direction of him, if he loses an arm due to her, what is the hurt in that? From the depth of his coronary heart, he was actually happy to really sacrifice an arm for her. He additionally felt that he owed her rather a lot and solely by struggling a heavy harm would he be capable of repay for her kindness. At this thought, he whole-heartedly hoped that his opponent would actually lower his arm as he prolonged his arm to thrust his lengthy sword into the centre of the circle. A “tang” sound resounded as Linghu Chong felt his chest shook and felt blood effervescent forth however his arm was nonetheless intact. That previous man retreated a few steps and put away his sword. The expression on his face was odd. There have been additionally expressions of shock and disgrace along with some expression of sympathy in the direction of him. After a while, he stated, “Grasp Linghu’s sword artwork is sensible and your braveness and knowledge are glorious. Admirable, admirable!”

Presently Linghu Chong simply realised, when he took that threat to thrust his sword, he had really succeeded to find his opponent’s sword artwork’s weak level. It was simply that this previous man’s sword artwork was actually excessive. The centre of the circle was really probably the most harmful place and he had unexpectedly practised this sword artwork in order that it

would even be the weak level. The 1000’s of swordsmen on the planet, it might be very uncommon for one to be courageous sufficient to undergo this hazard and thrust his sword in there. He was happy with himself and thought, “Fortunate, fortunate!” as he felt sweat operating down his again. He rapidly bowed, “Senior’s sword artwork is divine. I am actually

indebted to your recommendation. The profit to Junior is not shallow.” His phrases weren’t simply frequent speak. This struggle had really benefited his martial artwork tremendously because it made him be taught that the enemy’s strongest level might unexpectedly be their weakest level. If he

might break the transfer on the strongest place then he would be capable of break the remainder of the weaknesses simply.

When masters competed in swords, one transfer might determine the end result. That previous man noticed Linghu Chong dared to thrust into the center of his circle of lights in order that they did not must compete anymore. He gazed at Linghu Chong for some time earlier than saying, “Grasp Linghu, previous man has a couple of phrases I wish to say to you.”

Linghu Chong replied, “Sure, I will hearken to senior’s recommendation.” That previous man gave his lengthy sword to the vegetable-person and walked away to the east. Linghu Chong threw his lengthy sword on the bottom and adopted behind him.

He stopped in addition to an enormous tree. They have been tens of toes away from the gang, though they have been nonetheless capable of see the gang, their voices wouldn’t carry that far. The previous man sat down underneath the tree’s shade and pointed to an enormous rock, “Please sit down.” He waited for Linghu Chong to settle himself earlier than persevering with, “Grasp Linghu, among the many youthful generations, it’s totally uncommon to search out somebody together with your type of expertise.” Linghu Chong stated, “I do not dare. Junior’s conduct is improper and my fame is already ruined. My very own grasp cannot even tolerate me. How can I should obtain senior’s reward?”

That previous man stated, “The martial folks of my era, our conduct should be open and aboveboard and haven’t any qualms in our coronary heart. Though your motion is typically daring and wild, and in addition not in accordance with the customized, it’s nonetheless gentlemanly. I secretly despatched some folks to search out out what misdeeds you have actually finished. It isn’t enough to only depend on the rumours and slanders going round in Jianghu.”

When Linghu Chong heard him stated this, it struck a chord in his coronary heart. He felt gratitude in the direction of this previous man. He thought, “This senior should have a excessive place in Wudang College. In any other case, how would he be capable of ship folks to analyze about my conduct?”

The previous man went on, “It is common that children like to indicate off. Mr. Yue’s outward look is calm, however he is simply offended…”

Linghu Chong rapidly stood up and stated, “Revered grasp is sort of a father to me. Junior would not dare to listen to about Grasp.”

That previous man smiled barely, “You did not neglect your roots, that is superb. Outdated man simply made an indiscreet comment.” Abruptly, his face turned critical and requested, “How lengthy have you ever been studying the Artwork of Essence Absorbing?”

Linghu Chong replied, “Half a 12 months in the past, Junior by chance realized this ability. At the moment, I did not know that this was the Artwork of Essence Absorbing.”

That previous man nodded, “That is how it’s! Simply then we clashed sword thrice and with every conflict, you absorbed my inner vitality. However I used to be conscious that you simply’re nonetheless not good at utilizing this disastrous demonic ability. Outdated man has an advise to offer you however I do not know whether or not younger hero would hearken to it or not?”

Linghu Chong was tremendously terrified and rapidly bowed, “Junior will definitely obey senior’s valuable phrases.”

The previous man replied, “Though this Artwork of Essence Absorbing has nice energy, it is usually dangerous in the direction of the consumer’s physique. As your ability in it will get deeper, it is going to hurt you much more. If younger hero might abandon this demonic ability altogether then that would be the greatest. In any other case, you may simply cease practising it to any extent further.”

That day in Plum Manor, he had heard Ren Woxing telling him that there can be nice hazard after practising the Artwork of Essence Absorbing for someday. He needed him to affix the Satan Sect earlier than divulging to him the tactic to meld the inner energies collectively. When he heard what this previous man stated, he believed much more what Ren Woxing stated was true. “Junior will always remember senior’s instructing. Junior

already is aware of that this methodology is not proper and already determined to not use this methodology to hurt different folks. It is simply that my physique already realized this methodology, so even when I did not wish to use it, it isn’t that simple.”

The previous man nodded, “That is what I’ve heard too. I’ve one other matter to boost to younger hero. Maybe this can be troublesome for younger hero to do. However as a hero, you could do what extraordinary folks will not do. In Shaolin temple, they’ve a ability known as “Tendon Altering Sutra”. Younger hero should’ve heard of this ability earlier than.”

Linghu Chong stated, “I’ve. I heard that that is Wulin’s most supreme inner vitality methodology. And solely probably the most eminent monks in Shaolin are allowed to be taught this ability.”

That previous man stated, “Younger hero is main so many individuals to go to Shaolin, I am afraid nothing good will come out of this. Irrespective of which facet is victorious, each side would lose quite a few masters and would convey unhealthy luck to Wulin. Outdated man has no expertise, however I am keen to go to Shaolin to ask for Abbot’s mercy to offer the “Tendon

Altering Sutra” to younger hero. Then younger hero can disband this huge group of individuals to cease this catastrophe from occurring. What does younger hero consider this?”

“How about younger girl Ren who’s being detained in Shaolin temple?” Linghu Chong requested.

That previous man stated, “Younger girl Ren has killed 4 disciples of Shaolin College and has additionally stirred up hassle in Jianghu and induced hurt on the planet. Nice Grasp Fangzheng put her into seclusion to not take revenge for his personal college. It’s really due to his form heartedness to learn the Jianghu folks. How can younger hero

with good conduct combine up with this anonymous girl? Why do you have to affiliate with this Satan Sect’s witch and smash your fame and future?”

“I’ve obtained her kindness so I have to repay her. Junior appreciates senior’s good concept however I do not dare to comply with it,” Linghu Chong stated.

That previous man set free an extended sigh and shook his head, “When younger individuals are drowned in magnificence and has been snared by it, it is onerous to free themselves from it.”

Linghu Chong bowed, “Junior will take my depart now.”

That previous man stated, “Wait. Though previous man and Huashan College would not have many dealings, Mr. Yue would certainly give me some face. In case you comply with my recommendation, previous man and Shaolin temple’s abbot will collectively assure that you’ll be accepted again into Huashan College. Do you belief me?”

Linghu Chong was moved by this as returning to Huashan was his largest want. From the extent of this previous man’s martial artwork and from what he simply stated, the previous man should actually be a well-known Wudang College’s senior. He stated that Abbot Fangzheng and he would assure this matter believing that they would definitely succeed. Grasp had all the time considered relationship between everybody from the orthodox sects. Shaolin and Wudang have been the 2 largest faculties in Wulin nowadays. When the leaders of those two faculties communicate out, it might be very troublesome for Grasp to not do them the favour for the sake of their relationship.

Grasp was like a father to himself. This matter of him being expelled from Huashan was as a result of he had made buddies with Xiang Wentian and Yingying and made Grasp lose face in entrance of all of the orthodox faculties. But when the leaders of Shaolin and Wudang acted on behalf of him, Grasp would undoubtedly settle for him again. When he returned to Huashan, he would be capable of see little martial sister from daybreak to nightfall. Nonetheless, how might he simply depart Yingying to endure in a Shaolin’s cave in the back of the mountain? At this thought, he felt warmth arising his chest, “If junior cannot rescue younger girl Ren out of Shaolin temple then I will be a ineffective particular person. Irrespective of if we win or lose on this matter, if I am nonetheless alive after that, I’ll undoubtedly go up Mount Wudang to thank Priest Chongxu and senior.”

That previous man set free an extended sigh, “You do not regard your life extremely nor your grasp extremely nor your future fame. You acted wilfully only for this Satan Sect’s witch. Sooner or later, if she grow to be heartless in the direction of you and hurt you, you will not remorse it?”

“My life was saved by younger girl Ren. What’s there to remorse if I lose my life due to her?” Linghu Chong stated.

That previous man nodded, “Alright, you may go.”

Linghu Chong bowed to take his depart once more. He then circled in the direction of the gang and shouted, “Let’s go!”

Peachtree Fruit Fairy requested, “That previous fellow competed in swordplay with you however how come there is not any winner or loser? There is no must compete then.”

Although Linghu Chong and the previous man duelled, the winner and loser had not been determined. It was as a result of the previous man merely determined that he wasn’t Linghu Chong’s match and thus instantly gave up. However everybody else within the crowd did not know that Linghu Chong had attacked the previous man’s sword artwork’s flaw in order that they did not know what occurred.

“This senior’s sword artwork may be very excessive. If we carry on combating, it will not be simple for me so it is higher if we simply do not struggle,” Linghu Chong stated.

“You are so silly. Since there is not any winner or loser, it’s best to’ve stored combating and also you’d undoubtedly win,” Peachtree Fruit Fairy stated.

Linghu Chong laughed, “Not essentially.”

Peachtree Fruit Fairy stated, “What not essentially? That previous fellow is already a lot older than you so after all he isn’t as sturdy as you. After a very long time, you may naturally get the higher hand.”

Linghu Chong had not replied but when Peachtree Root Fairy stated, “Why is it once you’re older, you are not as sturdy anymore?”

Linghu Chong understood what Peachtree Root Fairy meant. Between these Peach Valley Six Fairies, Peachtree Root Fairy was the oldest whereas Peachtree Fruit Fairy was the youngest. When Peachtree Fruit Fairy stated once you’re older then you definately would not be as sturdy anymore, after all Peachtree Root Fairy did not agree.

Peachtree Trunk Fairy stated, “If the youthful you’re, the stronger you get, then a 3 12 months previous baby can be the strongest then?”

“That is not true. A 3 12 months previous baby cannot be the strongest. A two 12 months previous baby can be stronger than a 3 12 months previous,” Peachtree Flower Fairy stated.

“You are additionally fallacious. A one 12 months previous baby can be stronger than a two 12 months previous,” Peachtree Trunk Fairy stated.

“A foetus that hasn’t come out from his mom’s womb can be the strongest then,” Peachtree Leaf Fairy stated.

They stored on going north and had lastly entered the boundary of Henan. Unexpectedly, they met with two extra teams of heroes coming from the east and the west. They already had greater than two thousand folks with them earlier than. However after including these two further teams to their foremost group, they now had greater than 4 thousand folks with them. These 4 thousand folks simply slept anyplace at evening. It did not matter whether or not it was on grass, forest or wild hill, they only put their heads down and slept. However meals and drinks have been an enormous downside. After many days, on the eating places and drink outlets on the cities that they have been going via, they broke all of the pots, tables and chairs as a result of they did not get sufficient to drink and eat. They have been all offended and destroyed the eating places.

Linghu Chong noticed that these Jianghu’s heroes have been fairly violent however they have been additionally very loyal and frank folks. If Shaolin Temple did not wish to launch Yingying, then each side would get right into a bloody battle and the end result would unavoidably be horrible. On a regular basis, he waited for information from Dingxian and Dingyi Shi Tai. He hoped that because of the two Shi Tai’s reputations, Abbot Fangzheng would conform to launch Yingying and keep away from the disaster from occurring. Solely three days remained till the fifteenth of the twelfth month and so they have been now lower than 100 li from the Shaolin Temple however there was nonetheless no information from the 2 Shi Tai. The way in which they have been going to Shaolin temple with banners flying and drums beating, everybody should have heard of their advance. However thus far, there was no motion from the opposite celebration in any respect as if nothing was occurring. Linghu Chong raised this problem with Zu Qianqiu and Ji Wushi and so they additionally felt frightened about this.

That evening, the group stayed in an open subject. Sentries have been placed on the surface of the group to forestall attainable evening raids from the enemy. The wind was blowing coldly and the gray clouds hanged low on the sky. It appeared {that a} large rain was about to pour down. The open subject was stuffed with cooking fires in tens of li in each path. Not restrained by any army command, the group of warriors acted kind of as a mob as they gathered collectively singing and shouting loudly shaking the bottom. There have been additionally folks with swords and sabres out competing with one another whereas some have been wrestling. In every single place, it was noisy and stuffed with shouts.

Linghu Chong thought, “It is best if I do not let these folks step on the grounds of Shaolin Temple. Why do not I’m going first to ask Nice Grasp Fangzheng and Fangsheng? If I can get Yingying out, would not or not it’s a terrific celebration for everybody?” At this thought, his entire physique felt sizzling. After he thought extra on this, he modified his thoughts,

“But when I struggle the Shaolin’s monks simply on my own then I will be captured and even killed. I am not frightened about dying however there will be nobody to preside over these folks. With no chief, there can be chaos on this group of heroes and so they would not be capable of get Yingying out. Extra over, many of those a number of 1000’s of brave and upright buddies would most likely be killed on Mount Shaoshi. If I acted rashly and smash this matter, how would I be capable of apologise to all these folks?”

He stood up and appeared round him. Wanting on the folks in addition to the piles of fireside, he thought, “If they don’t seem to be doing this for Yingying, they would not have submitted to me in any respect.”

Two days later, they arrived on Mount Shaoshi and have been simply exterior of the Shaolin Temple. Throughout these two days, much more warriors joined their group. The folks he had met on that day on 5-Tyrant Ridge’s gathering together with Huang Boliu, Sima Large, Blue Phoenix in addition to White Flood Dragon’s Clan chief Shi and the “Yangtze River’s Pair of Flying Fish” had all come. There have been nonetheless many heroes that Linghu

Chong did not handle to see who had come as properly. Conservatively, they’d round 5 to 6 1000’s folks now.

A number of hundred drums have been beating shaking the bottom and trembling the sky. The group was beating the drums for a very long time however not a single monk got here out of the temple. Linghu Chong roared out his command, “Cease the drum!” The beating sounds steadily turned lighter till they lastly stopped. Linghu Chong took a deep breath and in a transparent voice stated, “Junior Linghu Chong and plenty of buddies from Jianghu have come to pay a go to to Shaolin’s Abbot. I ask respectfully to be granted a gathering.” Linghu Chong connected considerable of inner vitality into his voice and he was heard from many li however there was nonetheless no sound from contained in the temple. Linghu Chong spoke once more and but there was nonetheless no response from the temple. Linghu Chong stated, “Brother Zu, please provide our go to card.”

“Sure,” Zu Qianqiu complied as he carried the ready go to field which saved the cardboard with Linghu Chong’s title and the names of leaders from varied sects. He went as much as the principle gate of the Shaolin Temple and knocked on it a couple of instances. When there was no nonetheless no sound coming from the temple, he flippantly pushed on the gate. The gate wasn’t bolted and it opened simply. He appeared inside and could not see anybody

round. He did not dare to enter the temple with out authorisation so he circled to report back to Linghu Chong. Though Linghu Chong’s martial artwork was excessive, he nonetheless did not have a lot expertise and had by no means led a big group of individuals earlier than. With this unanticipated scenario earlier than him, he did not know what to do. He was momentarily stupefied and speechless.

Peachtree Root Fairy stated, “All of the monks within the temple have all escaped? Let’s go inside! If we see any shiny head, we’ll kill him right away.”

Peachtree Trunk Fairy stated, “You stated all of the monks have all escaped. If that’s the case, the place are you going to search out some shiny heads to kill?”

Peachtree Root Fairy stated, “Do not nuns even have shiny heads?”

Peachtree Flower Fairy stated, “It is a monk’s temple, how can there be nuns in there?”

Peachtree Root Fairy rapidly pointed his fingers at an individual. “This man right here is not a monk, he is additionally not a nun, however he has a shiny head.”

Peachtree Trunk Fairy requested, “Why do you wish to kill him?”

Ji Wushi interrupted, “How about we go in and have a look?”

Linghu Chong replied, “That is good. Brother Ji, brother Outdated, brother Zu, and clan chief Huang, please accompany me into the temple. All people please go this order to limit your subordinates from performing wildly and inform them they need to not be impolite to any Shaolin monk. Additionally they can not burn any grass or timber on this mountain.”

Peachtree Department Fairy stated, “Then you may’t even pull out any grass?”

Linghu Chong was feeling frightened about Yingying so he strode purposefully into the temple. Ji Wushi and the opposite three folks adopted behind him.

After getting into via the gate, they walked on a stone path and went previous the entrance courtyard and the entrance corridor, and arrived on the Nice Hero Valuable Corridor. Within the corridor, they noticed the majestic likeness of Rulai Buddha. They noticed the ground and the desk have been coated with a skinny layer of mud. Zu Qianqiu stated, “May or not it’s that every one the monks within the temple have escaped?” Linghu Chong chided, “Brother Zu, do not say this phrase ‘escape’.”

The 5 folks stood quietly and tried to pay attention for any sounds. However other than the clamoring noise from the group exterior the temple, there was no sound in any respect coming from the temple.

“The Shaolin monks should be hiding across the place to ambush us,” Ji Wushi whispered.

Linghu Chong thought, “Abbot Fangzheng and Nice Grasp Fangsheng are all eminent monks. Why would they use deceit? However realizing that plenty of unorthodox sects got here collectively to assault, the Shaolin monks could have needed a battle of wits as a substitute of energy. That is commonplace.” He noticed that Shaolin Temple was an enormous place however noticed no signal of anybody. A way of dread began to scrub over him as he frightened about what they could have finished to Yingying.

The 5 of them appeared round and listened to all instructions as they walked additional in. After passing two giant courtyards, they arrived on the again corridor. Abruptly, Linghu Chong and Ji Wushi stopped on the similar time and made some hand alerts. Outdated Man and the opposite two folks instantly stopped. Linghu Chong pointed to a facet room on the northwest facet and quietly walked there. Outdated Man and the opposite three folks adopted him. They heard gentle groaning sounds coming from the within of the room. Linghu Chong stopped in entrance of the door and pulled his sword out. He then prolonged his hand to push the door open whereas leaning his physique to at least one facet to guard himself in opposition to projectiles from contained in the room. Because the door creaked open, they once more heard the sunshine groaning sound from inside.

Linghu Chong turned his head to look contained in the room and was tremendously shocked to see two previous nuns on the ground. He acknowledged the nun dealing with in the direction of him as Dingyi Shi Tai. Along with her face pale and her eyes closed, it appeared as if she had died. His physique shot ahead like an arrow going into the room. Zu Qianqiu known as out, “Chief, watch out!” as he adopted him in. Linghu Chong went round Dingyi Shi Tai’s physique to take a look on the different particular person mendacity down. As anticipated, she was Heng-Shan College’s chief Dingxian Shi Tai.

Linghu Chong stooped down and known as out, “Shi Tai, Shi Tai.”

Dingxian Shi Tai slowly opened her eyes. She was actually sluggish originally however there was a flash of happiness in her eyes as she recognised him. Her mouth moved like she was attempting to say one thing however she could not get any sound out. Linghu Chong stooped even decrease, “It is Junior Linghu Chong.” Dingxian Shi Tai’s mouth moved once more and managed to whisper actually flippantly. Linghu Chong managed to listen to her saying, “You… you… you…” He noticed her accidents have been actually critical and did not understand how for much longer she would reside. Dingxian Shi Tai uttered a couple of extra phrases, “You… You promise me…”

Linghu Chong swiftly stated, “Sure, sure. No matter Shi Tai orders, Linghu Chong will do it. Even till my physique turned to mud, I’ll nonetheless accomplish it.”

Considering of the 2 Shi Tai dying in Shaolin Temple on his account, tears began to stream down his cheeks. Dingxian Shi Tai whispered, “You… you are sure which you can promise… promise me?”

Linghu Chong replied, “I promise!”

Dingxian Shi Tai’s glimmered with happiness. “You… you promise to take cost of… take cost of Heng-Shan College household…” After saying these few phrases, she was out of breath.

Linghu Chong was tremendously shocked, “Junior is a male, I can not be your noble college’s chief. However Shi Tai be relaxed, it doesn’t matter what type of problem or calamity your noble college is in, Junior will do my greatest to undertake the burden.”

Dingxian Shi Tai slowly shook her head, “No, no. I… I am passing you Linghu Chong, the Heng-Shan College… Heng-Shan College’s management. In case you… you do not agree, I will die… die with an unfulfilled want.”

Zu Qianqiu and the opposite three folks have been standing behind Linghu Chong. All of them felt Dingxian Shi Tai’s final want was too unthinkable. Linghu Chong’s coronary heart was in nice confusion and felt that this was a very troublesome matter to determine on. However he noticed that Dingxian Shi Tai solely had a short while to reside. With blood welling up in his coronary heart, he promised, “Alright, Junior agrees to Shi Tai’s request.”

Dingxian Shi Tai smiled and whispered, “Many… many thanks! Heng-Shan College’s a whole lot of disc… disciples, to any extent further they’re going to all hassle… hassle younger hero Linghu.” Linghu Chong was alarmed, indignant, and grieved, “Shaolin temple is so unreasonable, why would they be so violent in the direction of Shi Tai, Junior…” Simply then Dingxian Shi Tai’s head lolled to at least one facet and her eyes closed. Significantly alarmed, Linghu Chong rapidly prolonged his hand to test on her respiration however she had stopped respiration. His coronary heart was grieved. He circled and touched Dingyi Shi Tai’s hand. Her chilly arms indicated that she had been lifeless for a very long time. Indignation and unhappiness washed over him and he discovered himself choked with tears.

Outdated Man stated, “Grasp Linghu, we should avenge the 2 Shi Tai. All these bald donkeys have run away from the temple. Let’s burn this Shaolin Temple to the bottom.”

Linghu Chong’s coronary heart was stuffed with grief and indignation; he slapped his thigh and stated, “Alright! Let’s burn Shaolin Temple to the bottom.”

Ji Wushi swiftly stated, “No! No! If Sacred Woman continues to be imprisoned in right here then she’ll even be burnt to demise.”

Linghu Chong had stated that absent-mindedly. He felt chilly sweat breaking out from his again as he conceded, “I used to be confused. If brother Ji did not remind me, I might’ve ruined this matter. What ought to we do now?”

Ji Wushi replied, “Shaolin temple has many rooms, it will be onerous for the 5 of us to go looking all of the locations. Chief, please go an order to name 200 brothers to come back in and search the temple.”

Linghu Chong stated, “Proper. Brother Ji, please exit and get extra folks.”

“Sure,” Ji Wushi replied and turned his physique round to exit.

Zu Qianqiu known as out, “Do not let these Peach Valley Six Weirdos are available.”

Linghu Chong lifted the our bodies of the 2 Shi Tai and put them on a mattress. Kneeling down, he kowtowed a couple of instances to them and silently prayed, “Disciple will do my greatest to avenge each Shi Tai. You’ll be able to relaxation simple in heaven concerning the Heng-Shan College household.” He stood up and appeared fastidiously on the accidents on the 2 our bodies however did not see any lower or traces of blood on them. It was additionally inappropriate for him to elevate their robes to analyze additional. He guessed that it was masters from Shaolin who should have used their palm’s inside vitality and induced deadly inner accidents.

The sound of steps from 200 heroes was then heard getting into the temple as they individually went to go looking the world. Abruptly, somebody shouted from exterior the gate, “Linghu Chong’s not letting us in. However we wish to go in, what’s he going to do?” It was Peachtree Department Fairy’s voice. Linghu Chong scowled pretending to not have heard it. Then he heard Peachtree Trunk Fairy stated, “We have come to the world’s well-known Shaolin Temple. However we’re not allowed to go in and take a stroll in there, how can he deal with us so unjustly?”

Peachtree Leaf Fairy stated, “If we entered the Shaolin Temple and do not meet the world’s well-known Shaolin monks then that’ll be much more injustice.”

Peachtree Department Fairy stated, “If we won’t meet Shaolin temple’s monks then we won’t evaluate martial artwork in opposition to the world’s well-known Shaolin College’s martial artwork. That is much more injustice.”

Peachtree Flower Fairy stated, “Probably the most well-known ones are in Shaolin Temple however we won’t see a single monk right here. That is actually unusual.”

Peachtree Fruit Fairy stated, “There is no monk, that is not unusual. However the unusual factor is there are two nuns.”

Peachtree Root Fairy stated, “There are two nuns, that is additionally not unusual. What’s unusual is that the nuns will not be solely previous, they’re additionally lifeless.”

The six brothers have been speaking backwards and forwards as they walked in the direction of the again courtyard.

Linghu Chong along with Zu Qianqiu, Outdated Man, and Huang Boliu walked away from the facet room. As soon as they have been out of the door, they noticed the group that was looking round contained in the Shaolin temple. After some time, folks began to come back and repeatedly reported their findings. They reported that not solely the monks have been gone from the temple but in addition the porters and cooks had additionally gone. One particular person reported that the Buddhist scriptures, data, and home equipment had additionally been moved away. Not even a bowl was left behind. One other particular person reported that the firewood, rice, oil, and salt had all been emptied out. Even the greens within the backyard had been pulled clear.

Each time Linghu Chong heard a report, he was increasingly disheartened. He thought, “The Shaolin Temple’s monks cleaned this place up so completely. A lot in order that they did not even depart behind a single vegetable within the backyard. They have to’ve moved Yingying elsewhere too. The world is so large, the place do I start to search for her?”

Shut to 2 hours later, the 200 folks had completed looking the 1000’s of rooms within the Shaolin temple. They’d even searched beneath the Buddha statues and the again of the Shaolin’s title board. However not even a single piece of paper was discovered. There have been individuals who have been happy with themselves saying, “Shaolin College is Wulin’s primary college. However once they heard us coming, they unexpectedly ran away. This factor has by no means occurred in additional than a thousand 12 months.”

One other particular person stated, “We’re so highly effective. So nobody in Wulin dares to look down upon us.”

However there was an individual who stated, “The Shaolin monks have been undoubtedly pushed away from listening to our would possibly, however what about Sacred Woman? We got here right here to fulfill Sacred Woman, to not drive away the monks.”

Everybody thought that this was cheap. When some folks heard this, they hanged their heads down as if somebody had died. There have been some who appeared in the direction of Linghu Chong ready to listen to what he needed to say. Linghu Chong stated, “That is past our expectations. Who would have anticipated that Shaolin monks would depart their temple. I do not know tips on how to deal with this example. One particular person’s thought is proscribed, if we’ve greater than two then we might have extra concepts. So please give me your opinions.”

Huang Boliu stated, “In my view, discovering Sacred Woman is troublesome whereas discovering Shaolin monks is less complicated. Shaolin temple’s monks numbered greater than a thousand, they can not all the time disguise ceaselessly. As soon as we discovered these Shaolin’s monks, we’ll undoubtedly get a scent of the place Sacred Woman is.”

Zu Qianqiu stated, “Clan chief Huang is correct. We’ll simply keep inside this temple. These Shaolin College’s disciples would undoubtedly not be keen to half with their thousand years previous residence and permit us to reside right here. Once they needed to take again this temple from us then we’ll ask them about Sacred Woman’s whereabouts.”

An individual stated, “Ask about Sacred Woman whereabouts? Why would they comply with inform us?”

Outdated Man stated, “This so known as asking is merely a well mannered means of claiming it. We’ll extort from them the reply. Once we see any Shaolin monks, we’ll seize them however not kill them. Then after we have captured eight to 10 of them, are we nonetheless afraid that they will not inform us?”

One other particular person stated, “If these monks nonetheless did not wish to inform us, then what can we do?”

Outdated Man stated, “That is simple. We’ll simply ask Chief Blue to launch a few of her Divine Dragon, Divine Object on their our bodies. Will we then nonetheless be afraid of them not disclosing the knowledge?” Many individuals nodded their heads agreeing with what he stated. Everybody knew that this so known as “Chief Blue’s Divine Dragon, Divine Object” was Chief Blue Phoenix’s 5 poisons of viper and poison worm. When these venomous pests have been placed on folks’s our bodies, they’d begin gnawing on their flesh. The ache can be corresponding to the worst punishment that existed on this world. Blue Phoenix smiled and stated, “Shaolin temple’s monks have undergone numerous apply for a very long time. I am unsure if my Divine Dragon, Divine Object would work on them.”

Linghu Chong immediately thought, “We needn’t deal them with extreme punishment. We simply must seize as many monks as we are able to. After capturing 100 of them, then we’ll commerce 100 for one. That means we’ll certainly be capable of get Yingying out.”

Abruptly, an individual with coarse voice stated, “We have not eaten meat for half a day, I am ravenous. There’s additionally no monks within the temple, in any other case we’ll seize one with skinny and white pores and skin and steam him. That’ll be very fantastic!” The one who stated this had a excessive stature. It was the tall White Bear from the Bear Duo of the Northern Desert. Everybody knew that Black Bear and White Bear appreciated to eat human flesh. Though these few phrases of his might make different folks vomit from listening to it, they’d been on Mount Shaoshi for a very long time now and had not had something to eat or drink. Everybody felt hungry and thirsty and a few folks’s stomachs have been croaking from starvation.

Huang Boliu stated, “Shaolin College is utilizing this plan of strengthen no matter clear no matter.”

Zu Qianqiu stated, “Strengthen the defenses and clear the sector.”

Huang Boliu stated, “Proper. They have been hoping that we might get hungry contained in the temple then obediently go down the mountain. How can there be such a straightforward factor on this world?”

Linghu Chong requested, “What’s clan chief Huang’s opinion?”

Huang Boliu replied, “We’ll ship a gaggle of brothers to go down the mountain and discover out the place these Shaolin monks had gone to. We’ll ship one other group to buy foodstuffs. Everybody else can be staying within the temple to protect… hmm.. no matter ready for rabbit with a purpose to keep away from these monks’ throwing… throwing no matter web.” Huang Boliu liked to make use of proverbs when talking however he did not bear in mind them clearly so the idioms he used would steadily be fallacious.

Linghu Chong stated, “That is a good suggestion. Clan chief Huang, please take the order and get 5 hundred astute and succesful brothers to go down the mountain and discover out the whereabouts of Shaolin monks. About this matter of buying foodstuffs, I ask clan chief Huang to deal with this matter too.” Huang Boliu complied together with his order and circled to exit.

Blue Phoenix laughed, “Hopefully clan chief Huang can deal with this matter. In any other case, White Bear and Black Bear can be very hungry and begin to eat every thing they see.”

Huang Boliu laughed, “Outdated man will deal with this. However even when these Bear Duo of Northern Desert get actually hungry until their stomach is shrunken, they nonetheless would not dare to even contact Chief Blue’s fingers.”

Zu Qianqiu stated, “The temple’s monks have all gone out. I would wish to ask buddies right here to do that one factor. May you please take a look in every single place once more? See if there’s something uncommon, perhaps we’ll be capable of discover some clues.” The group boomed their replies and began to go to have a look round.

Linghu Chong sat on a kneeling mat within the Nice Hero Valuable Corridor and was trying on the majestic likeness of the Rulai Buddha. The statue had an expression of pity and mercifulness. He thought, “Abbott Fangzheng is an eminent monk. When he came upon that we have been coming right here, he’d relatively destroy Shaolin College’s fame than to guide folks to struggle us. Ultimately, he has prevented an enormous massacre right here. However why did they kill Dingxian and Dingyi Shi Tai? I am guessing the one who killed the 2 Shi Tai should be a vicious monk from this temple and the Abbott could do not know in any respect about this. I have to respect Abbott’s good intentions and should not search for Shaolin monks to offer them hassle. I have to consider one other solution to save Yingying.”

Abruptly, a burst of wind blew in via the door and hurled open the display in entrance of him. The ash within the incense pot was blown all around the corridor. Linghu Chong walked in the direction of the corridor’s entrance and appeared on the sky. The clouds have been gray and the north wind was blowing onerous. He thought in his coronary heart, “It is going to rain tonight.” Simply as he considered this, flakes of snow began to drift down from the sky. “The sky is chilly and the bottom goes to be frozen. I do not know if Yingying has winter garments together with her. Shaolin College has so many individuals they will deploy effectively whereas we’re solely utilizing bravery right here to get Yingying out. That is not possible to do.”

Together with his arms behind his again, he walked backwards and forwards within the passage in entrance of the corridor. The snow was falling on his head, face, robe, and arms. It rapidly melted because it touched him.

His thought continued, “Simply earlier than Dingxian Shi Tai handed away, though her harm was critical, she was nonetheless clear headed and wasn’t confused within the slightest bit. However why did she need me to grow to be Heng-Shan College’s chief? Heng-Shan College would not also have a single man of their college. I additionally heard that every one their earlier leaders have been all nuns. How can I be the chief of Heng-Shan College after I’m a person? When this will get out, folks in Jianghu will snort until their jaws drop. Hng, I already agreed to her request, how can a gentleman eat his personal phrase? What I do or the place I’m going, even when different folks laughed at me, what’s that received to do with them?” At this thought, his heroic spirit rose up.

Abruptly he heard gentle noises from half the mountain of individuals shouting. Not lengthy after, the massive group exterior of the temple began to make plenty of noise. Linghu Chong was alarmed and he rapidly rushed in the direction of the temple’s foremost gate. He noticed Huang Boliu strolling in the direction of him together with his face filled with recent blood. An arrow was caught in his shoulder and the lower out shaft was trembling. He known as out, “Chief, enemy… enemy is guarding the street taking place the mountain. We now have… have been thrown that… hmm, that web.”

Linghu Chong was startled, “Are they Shaolin monks?”

Huang Boliu stated, “They are not monks. They’re simply extraordinary folks. His granny, we’ve not gone greater than three li after we have been compelled again by their arrows. Round ten brothers died and there are round seventy to eighty folks injured. That is the entire military annihilated.”

He then noticed a number of hundred folks dashing to retreat again to the temple. Many individuals in that group had been hit by arrows. The folks in the principle group have been calling out like thunder as they ready to die charging down the mountain. Linghu Chong requested, “What college is the enemy from? Did clan chief Huang handle to get a glance?”

Huang Boliu stated, “We did not get close to to the enemy. His granny, they’re superb with their bows and arrows. We did not get to see these bastards’ faces clearly. They have been taking pictures these arrows repeatedly. Normally, it is make buddies once you’re far and assault once you’re close to then all of the arrows would hit its goal.”

Zu Qianqiu stated, “Plainly Shaolin College intentionally left the temple to snare us. We’re like a turtle captured in a jar.”

Outdated Man stated, “What turtle captured in a jar? How will you develop the enemy’s spirit and extinguish our personal energy? That is… that is known as to lure the enemy to penetrate deeply into their territory.”

Zu Qianqiu stated, “Alright. We’ll say that it is luring the enemy to penetrate deeply into their territory. We’re already right here so what else is there to say? These monks need us to die of hunger on prime of this Mount Shaoshi.”

White Bear shouted, “Who desires to cost down the mountain with me to kill these bastards?” This was adopted by greater than a thousand folks answering him.

Linghu Chong shouted, “Wait! The opponents are taking pictures arrows, we should consider a solution to cope with them to keep away from futilely injuring ourselves.”

Ji Wushi stated, “There’s nothing else on this Buddhist temple however there are millions of putuan right here.”

This reminded everybody as they stated collectively, “Use these as shields. These are simply pretty much as good.”

A number of hundred folks rapidly rushed into the temple and introduced out many putuans with them.

Linghu Chong known as out, “Use these to dam the arrows! Everybody rush down the mountain.”

Ji Wushi stated, “Chief, the place ought to we collect after we rush down, what are we going to do after that, how are we going to save lots of Sacred Woman, we’ve to rearrange all these first.”

Linghu Chong stated, “Proper. You noticed simply earlier than how I did not communicate up on that matter, how can I nonetheless be Chief? I believe after we received down the mountain, everybody ought to briefly return dwelling first and ask round for the whereabouts of the Sacred Woman. We’ll speak later to consider a solution to save Sacred Woman.”

Ji Wushi stated, “Alright.” and he rapidly shouted Linghu Chong’s order to the remainder of the group.

That flesh consuming monk Black Bear stated, “Shaolin temple’s bald donkeys are so hateful. Everybody, let’s burn this ghost temple down then we’ll rush down and stake our lives.” He himself was a monk however he scolded them as “bald donkey” and did not care about it.

The group cheered his concept. Linghu Chong waved his hand and shouted, “Sacred Woman continues to be of their arms proper now, nobody should be impolite to them. Sacred Woman is perhaps deprived by that.”

Everybody thought that what he stated was proper, “Alright, we’ll allow them to off then.”

Linghu Chong stated, “Brother Ji, how can we cost down? Please assign us.”

Ji Wushi noticed Linghu Chong had no aptitude in commanding this group of heroes when coping with the risks so he did not hesitate in taking management of the scenario. He stated in a loud and clear voice, “Mates, please hearken to Chief’s order. Everybody will go down the mountain via eight paths. East, south, west, and north are 4 of the paths. Southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest are the opposite 4 paths. We’ll simply rapidly rush out of the encirclement and don’t be concerned about killing them.” He then assigned the trail that every clan and college can be taking. About 5 to 6 hundred or seven to eight hundred folks can be dashing every path.

Ji Wushi stated, “The south path is the principle street to go down the mountain and it has probably the most enemy there. Chief, we’ll rush down the south street first and lead the enemy together with us. It will make it simpler for the remainder of the brothers to hurry out of the encirclement.”

Linghu Chong grasped his sword however did not take a putuan with him as he strode to go down the mountain. The group roared their battle cry and individually rushed down via the eight paths. However on prime of the mountain, there weren’t eight paths to really go down from so some folks leaped as they went down. To start with, there have been eight path they have been taking however later they have been similar to bees swarming down the mountain. After Linghu Chong had gone for a couple of li, he heard many whirring sounds as a rain of arrows was launched from the forest in entrance of him. He used Dugu 9 Swords’ “Arrow-breaking stance” to bat away the arrows raining down on him whereas he was nonetheless dashing down the mountain. Abruptly, he heard somebody crying out behind him. It was Blue Phoenix falling down as her left leg and left shoulder was hit on the similar time. Linghu Chong swiftly circled to assist her and stated, “I will defend you.” Blue Phoenix stated, “Don’t fret about me. You… you… you taking place the mountain is most vital.” Presently, the air was nonetheless buzzing from the arrows being shot in the direction of them. Linghu Chong was nonetheless waving his hand round blocking the arrows coming in the direction of him. However he noticed folks stored falling on the bottom one after the other as they have been struck by the arrows.

Linghu Chong seized Blue Phoenix together with his left hand and rushed down the mountain. The arrows stored on coming and Linghu Chong stored scattering them away together with his sword. He felt frightened because the arrows stored raining down. The folks taking pictures the arrows had sturdy martial artwork and the air was thick with arrows. Though the group of heroes had putuans to make use of, it was nonetheless onerous for them to dam these arrows as increasingly folks have been hit. Linghu Chong could not determine whether or not to maintain dashing down or flip again to the temple.

Ji Wushi known as out, “Chief, enemy’s arrows are too extreme. Our brethrens cannot rush down the mountain and plenty of have been injured or killed. Let’s name everybody again and we’ll consider an concept.” Linghu Chong knew that they have been about to be defeated. In the event that they clashed with the enemies, then the scenario can be hopeless. He instantly known as out, “Everybody retreat to the Shaolin temple! Everybody retreat to the Shaolin temple!” Although 1000’s of individuals have been shouting and crying out as they fought, his shout was nonetheless audible in every single place due to his considerable inner vitality. Ji Wushi, Zu Qianqiu, and tens of different folks shouted out, “Chief’s order, everybody retreat to the Shaolin temple.” The group heard the order and began to retreat.

In entrance of the Shaolin temple, folks have been cursing, groaning, and calling out. The bottom from east to west was coated by blood. Ji Wushi was giving out order to eight hundred unhurt folks to separate into eight teams and guard the eight paths. These 1000’s of people that had come to Shaolin temple, half of them belonged to clans or sects and so they have been obeying orders. However the different two thousand folks have been simply mobs and after they’d been defeated, they have been in confusion. They have been every doing their very own issues and did not know what to do.

Linghu Chong stated, “Everybody, rapidly deal with our injured brethrens and provides medicines to them.” In his coronary heart, he was pondering, “It is a disgrace that Heng-Shan College’s disciples aren’t right here and we do not have their medicines.” He continued pondering, “If Heng-Shan College’s individuals are right here, would they assist me or would they facet with the orthodox faculties? En, the 2 Shi Tai have been killed, after all they’d assist me.”

He heard the gang was nonetheless clamouring incessantly and he felt uneasy. If he was the one one who had been trapped on this mountain prime, then he would’ve rushed down the mountain a very long time in the past. He would not care if he died or reside. However he was the chief of all these heroes and was accountable for these thousand of individuals’s lives. As he considered this, he did not know what to do.

He noticed that it was sundown already. Abruptly, sounds of drums and other people calling out have been heard from the mountainside. Linghu Chong drew his lengthy sword out and rushed to the intersection of the street. The group of heroes additionally grasped their sabres desirous to struggle the enemy to the demise. They heard the sounds of drums getting louder and louder however the enemy did not rush up. After a second, the drums stopped and the gang of heroes stated one after one other, “The drums stopped, they’re arising now.” “In the event that they rush up then we’ll spill their blood until it flows like water and never spare a single one in all them.” “His granny, these bastards need us to die up right here from starvation and thirst.” “If these sons of a turtle aren’t arising then we’ll rush all the way down to them.” “If you wish to rush down then why are you continue to speaking?”

Ji Wushi whispered to Linghu Chong, “If we won’t sleep tonight and add to that we might even be hungry for someday and one evening. Then everybody can be powerless to struggle.”

Linghu Chong replied, “Proper. We’ll choose two to 3 hundred folks with excessive martial artwork to open the way in which for us. At evening, the enemy’s arrows would not be as correct. We’ll simply disrupt the enemy and we are able to all rush forth to go down.”

Ji Wushi stated, “That is the plan then.”

At this second, the sounds of drums from the mountainside rose once more adopted by round 100 folks with white fabric wrapped round their heads dashing up the mountain. The group of heroes cried out and rushed forth to struggle them. However these 100 folks solely attacked for a short time earlier than they whistled and retreated again down the mountain. The group of heroes put their weapons all the way down to relaxation. The drums sounded once more and one other group of individuals with white head wrap went up the mountain to assault. After combating for a short time, they once more retreated again down the mountain. Although the enemy was retreating, the drums stored beating and one other battle cry rose up not letting them relaxation.

Ji Wushi stated, “Chief, the enemy is wearying our military and stopping us from taking a relaxation.”

Linghu Chong stated, “Sure. Brother Ji, please deal with it.” Ji Wushi rapidly handed down the order that if the enemy got here up once more, then solely these folks on guard obligation would struggle whereas the others would take a relaxation and never take note of them.

Zu Qianqiu stated, “Let’s speak now and decide 300 good fighters. We then wait until the midnight, when the enemy assaults then these 300 folks would rush down. As soon as they began combating with the enemy, these bastards would not be capable of shoot their arrows and everybody will rush down the mountain. Solely by utilizing this tactic of making chaos would we be capable of escape from this.”

Linghu Chong stated, “Fabulous. Brother Zu, please decide the folks. Organize them to attend for some confusion first earlier than they charged down.”

After about an hour, Zu Qianqiu had completed selecting the 300 first-class fighters to furiously rush down the mountain. Even when the enemy had a thousand folks lined as much as block them, they may not essentially be capable of cease these 300 fierce tigers. Linghu Chong’s vigour rose and he walked with Zu Qianqiu in the direction of the mountain edge on the west facet. He noticed the 300 folks lined up there. Linghu Chong stated, “Everybody, please sit down and relaxation. Wait till the sky is totally darkish earlier than taking place to struggle to the demise.” These folks boomed their replied.

Presently, the snow had been falling for a while and a skinny layer of snow had amassed on prime of the bottom and the folks’s heads and robes. There have been some water jar within the temple however they have been all empty. Even the water properly had dried up. Everybody took up a handful of snow and began to place it of their mouths to quench their thirst. The sky was getting darker and darker till they may solely vaguely checked out different folks’s faces. Zu Qianqiu stated, “Fortuitously tonight is snowing. In any other case, tonight on the fifteenth, the moon can be very shiny.”

Abruptly, the quiet enveloped the entire space. Inside and outdoors the Shaolin temple the place 1000’s of heroes have been gathered, and in addition from the mountainside to the foot of the Mount Shaoshi the place round two to 3 thousand folks have been, everybody had unexpectedly grow to be quiet on the similar time. The individuals who have been about to say one thing additionally stayed silent because the quiet environment scared them. Solely the sunshine sound of snowflakes falling on the tree leaves and grass was heard. Linghu Chong immediately thought, “I’m wondering what little martial sister is doing right now.”

The sound of “wu, wu, wu” was heard all through the mountainside adopted by a loud cry from each path. This time the enemy appeared to have taken benefit of the darkness to launch their assault with full energy, in contrast to earlier than once they have been simply bluffing. Linghu Chong waved his lengthy sword and flippantly stated, “Cost!” Linghu Chong together with Ji Wushi, Zu Qianqiu, Tian Boguang, Bear Duo of the Northern Desert, and people 300 chosen warriors rushed down in the direction of the northwest path.

The 300 folks rushed down the trail as nothing was blocking them. After going for a li, Zu Qianqiu took out a small flare, lit it up, and shot it up into the air. It exploded with fireworks within the air. This was the sign for the heroes on prime of the mountain to hurry out of the temple.

Linghu Chong was dashing down the mountain when he felt his toes have been hurting. It felt like he was trampling on nails. He felt uneasy about it and swiftly leaped to the highest of a tree. Zu Qianqiu and the remainder of the folks behind began to cry out: “Ayo, not good, there’s some entice on the bottom!”. Everybody felt their toes have been being pricked by nails and a few of their toes have been even stabbed all through. The ache was insufferable. Dozens of their folks have been nonetheless dashing down ignoring the ache when immediately they fell down an enormous pit. Greater than ten spears have been rapidly thrust out stabbing these folks within the pit. Cries of ache have been popping out of the pit and so they have been heard all through the mountain.

“Chief, rapidly give out the order to retreat again up the mountain!” Ji Wushi screamed.

Linghu Chong noticed the scenario and it was apparent that the orthodox faculties had arrange a entice on the backside of the mountain. In the event that they stored dashing down, the entire military can be annihilated. He rapidly shouted, “Everybody return to Shaolin temple! Everybody return to Shaolin temple!”

He leaped to the highest of one other tree in addition to the pit and poked his lengthy sword down stabbing three spearmen. He then jumped all the way down to the bottom and landed in addition to one of many spearmen with the thought that there would not be any nails the place these spearmen have been standing on. Impulsively, he had stabbed seven to eight folks already. The remaining spearmen cried out and retreated. The forty or extra individuals who had fallen down the pit jumped out one after the other. However greater than ten folks have been killed inside that pit. All they may see was the darkness of the evening as they walked again. Although the snow supplied some gentle, they could not see the place the traps is perhaps. They limped again up the mountains with their heads hanging down. Fortuitously, the enemy did not take this chance to chase them.

The group of heroes went again into the temple. Beneath the candle gentle, they checked their accidents and located that 9 out of ten folks’s toes have been pierced by the nails. Everybody was swearing on the enemy. Apparently, when the enemy was beating these drums a number of instances, they have been really overlaying the sound of them digging the pit and scattering the nails. These nails have been round a foot lengthy and have been very sharp. Seven a part of it was buried beneath the bottom with three a part of it protruding of the bottom. It appeared that nails have been scattered all through the mountain. There could even be multiple hundred thousand of those nails buried on the bottom.

After all they’d ready these nails earlier than hand. In any other case, the place would the enemy accumulate these many nails from? Even the extra skilled heroes have been nonetheless shocked and amazed once they considered this. Ji Wushi pulled Linghu Chong to a facet and quietly talked to him, “Grasp Linghu, we won’t retreat anymore. We have been pondering day and evening hoping to save lots of Sacred Woman. We’re compelled to ask grasp to undertake this large matter alone.”

Linghu Chong was tremendously shocked, “You… you… what is the that means of this?”

“We all know that grasp is keen to assist folks and wouldn’t simply abandon us and go by your self. However sooner or later, who would take revenge for this large enmity we’ve? Sacred Woman can also be nonetheless being imprisoned, who would rescue her to see the sky once more?”

Linghu Chong laughed, “So brother Ji desires me to flee this mountain on my own. Do not take into consideration this anymore. If we’ll die then we’re simply going to die, why do we have to assume a lot for? On this world, who would not die? We’ll simply die collectively. Sacred Woman is being imprisoned however sooner or later, she’ll additionally die. Although the orthodox faculties are victorious right now, years from now, would not in addition they die one after the other? This matter of profitable or shedding solely determines whether or not you die in the end.”

Seeing how Linghu Chong ignored his recommendation, Ji Wushi noticed that it was no use to steer him any additional. But when Linghu Chong did not benefit from the darkness to flee then it might be not possible to run away. When day time comes once more, the enemy would begin to assault them and it might not be attainable to flee. At this thought, he set free an extended sigh.

Abruptly, they heard a couple of folks laughing. They have been getting extra joyous as they laughed. The group of heroes had had a significant defeat and was now bunched collectively contained in the temple. Their lives would most likely solely final until morning. Unexpectedly, there have been nonetheless some individuals who might snort so fortunately right now. When Linghu Chong and Ji Wushi heard this laughter, they each knew that it was the Peach Valley Six Fairies. They each thought, “On this world, solely these six weirdos can nonetheless snort like this when dealing with their deaths.”

They heard one of many Peach Valley Six Fairies stated, “On this world, there are literally these sorts of fools! Stepping their toes properly on these nails, Hahaha, that is actually humorous.”

One other one stated, “You are all a bunch of idiots. It is best to’ve examined the bottom together with your toes first. If it hurts, after all they’re metal nails. Haha, is it comfy with these iron nails piercing via your toes?”

One other one laughed, “You’ve got already tasted the way it feels to have a metal nail via your toes. Why do not you employ a metal hammer to hammer down some nails via your toes? Hahaha, hehehe, hahaha.”

The six brothers have been laughing till they have been out of breath pondering that this was the funniest factor on the planet. However nobody else thought that this was humorous.

The individuals who had their toes pierced by these metal nails have been nonetheless crying out in ache. But, there have been some thoughtless folks ridiculing and shouting abuses at them. However to scold again on the Peach Valley Six Fairies was a really troublesome factor to do. They might debate each single phrase that got here out of your mouth. In case you scolded them “zhi niang zei” (straight mom thief), they’d ask what’s “zhe niang” (straight mom) and why not “wan niang” (bent mom); In case you scolded them “wang ba dan”(king eight eggs or bastard), they’d persistantly ask you ways come it wasn’t “wang qi dan, wang jiu dan” (king seven eggs or king 9 eggs) and why should or not it’s “wang ba dan” (king eight eggs).

In a short while, the corridor turned actually noisy with folks shouting. Some folks even appeared for weapons to struggle them. Linghu Chong noticed the scenario was getting out of hand. He immediately known as out, “Yi, what’s this? Fascinating, fascinating, that is very odd!”

When Peach Valley Six Fairies heard him, they instantly went over to him and requested, “What’s so fascinating?”

“I noticed six rats biting a cat passing by right here,” Linghu Chong answered.

The Peach Valley Six Fairies have been amused and so they all requested, “I’ve by no means seen a mouse biting a cat earlier than. The place did they go?”

Linghu Chong pointed someplace and stated, “They went there.”

Peachtree Root Fairy pulled his hand, “Go, go! Everybody, let’s have a look.”

The group of heroes knew that Linghu Chong was really referring to the Peach Valley Six Fairies because the six mice. Unexpectedly, the Fairies really believed that there have been really six mice and felt actually comfortable. The Peach Valley Six Fairies crowded Linghu Chong pushing him to go in the direction of the trail in the back of the corridor.

Linghu Chong laughed, “Yi! Is that it?”

“I did not see,” Peachtree Fruit Fairy stated.

Linghu Chong was deliberately attempting to guide them distant from the remainder of the folks to forestall them from combating. So he was simply pointing anyplace and so they walked farther and farther away from the group.

Peachtree Trunk Fairy pushed open a door on the facet of the corridor. Inside was jet black and so they could not see something.

Linghu Chong laughed, “Ayo, six mice are carrying an enormous cat and getting into a cave.”

Peachtree Root Fairy stated, “Do not idiot us.” He lighted a fireplace stick however there was nothing contained in the room in addition to a statue of Bodhisattva in a sitting place dealing with the wall. Peachtree Root Fairy went as much as the providing desk to gentle up the oil lamp. He stated, “The place’s the cave? Let’s drive these mice out.” He took the oil lamp from the desk to examine the room however there was no cave in any respect.

Peachtree Department Fairy stated, “I am afraid it is perhaps behind the Bodhisattva.”

“Behind the Bodhisattva is us seven folks. Are we the mice?” Peachtree Trunk Fairy stated.

“Bodhisattva is dealing with the wall. So its again is its entrance,” Peachtree Department Fairy reasoned.

“You recognize you stated it fallacious however do not wish to admit it! How can the again be the entrance?” admonished Peachtree Trunk Fairy.

“The again is ok, entrance can also be positive. Let’s pull it open and take a look,” Peachtree Flower Fairy stated.

Peachtree Leaf Fairy and Peachtree Fruit Fairy replied collectively, “Sure.” The three of them went ahead to tug the statue open.

Linghu Chong known as out, “Do not do this, that is ancestor Da Mo.” He knew that ancestor Da Mo was Shaolin temple’s grandmaster. Shaolin Temple was the chief within the examine of the martial artwork as a result of ancestor Da Mo handed his martial artwork down. Their martial artwork had been round for greater than a thousand 12 months with out declining. A while up to now, Da Mo sat dealing with the wall for 9 years till he lastly gained enlightenment. That was the explanation why the statue of Da Mo within the temple was additionally dealing with the wall. Ancestor Da Mo was the ancestor of the Zen Buddhism within the central plain and he was held in reverence in each the Wulin world and in Buddhism. Up to now, the gang of heroes had been following his order and did not destroy any object within the temple. He did not need them now to insult the statue of Da Mo.

However Peachtree Flower Fairy and his two brothers’ playfulness have been out already and so they did not take note of Linghu Chong’s shout. The three folks used their energy, which exceeded a thousand catty, to show the statue of Da Mo round. Abruptly, the seven folks shouted in shock as they noticed an iron panel slowly rose up and uncovered an enormous gap. The hardened rust on the hinges of the iron panel buckled open underneath the stress of Peachtree Flower Fairy and the opposite two fairies’ pull.

“There’s actually a cave!” Peachtree Department Fairy exclaimed.

“Let’s go take a look at these six mice carrying a cat,” Peachtree Root Fairy stated. He lowered his head and entered the opening. All of them entered the opening one after the other with Peachtree Trunk Fairy getting into final. Inside, the opening was monumental and when the six folks entered the opening, they have been solely capable of hear their very own footsteps. They solely spent a short while in there admiring the opening earlier than popping out.

Peachtree Department Fairy known as out, “It is so darkish and deep inside that we won’t see the underside.”

Peachtree Leaf Fairy stated, “Since it is so darkish, how are you aware it is deep for sure? Perhaps after a couple of extra steps, we’ll arrive on the backside.”

Peachtree Department Fairy stated, “In case you already knew that you will attain the underside after a couple of extra steps, why do you must preserve strolling to search out out if the underside is there?”

Peachtree Leaf Fairy stated, “I stated “perhaps” not “for sure”. “Perhaps” and “for sure” are completely different.”

Peachtree Department Fairy stated, “You already know that it is “perhaps”, why do you continue to communicate a lot then?”

Peachtree Root Fairy stated, “What are you quarrelling about? Shortly get two fireplace sticks to go inside and take a look.”

Peachtree Fruit Fairy stated, “Why solely two fireplace sticks, cannot we gentle three sticks as a substitute?”

Peachtree Flower Fairy stated, “In case you gentle three sticks, why do not you gentle 4 then?”

These six folks stored on speaking incessantly however their arms have been shifting rapidly. They broke the desk’s legs and lighted up 4 fireplace sticks. After combating over the hearth sticks for some time, they entered the opening. Linghu Chong thought of, “This should be a secret path of the Shaolin temple. That day after I was trapped within the Plum Manor, I additionally went via an extended path. Plainly Yingying is being imprisoned right here.”

At this thought, his coronary heart began to thump wildly and he rapidly entered the opening. He quickened his steps to catch as much as the Peach Valley Six Fairies. The trail was vast and it was utterly completely different from the slim and damp path in Plum Manor. But it surely was very mouldy within the tunnel which made respiration uncomfortable.

Peachtree Fruit Fairy stated, “We nonetheless have not seen these six mice. I am afraid they did not come via this gap. Let’s flip again and look in one other space.”

Peachtree Trunk Fairy stated, “Flip again after we attain the tip, we nonetheless have time.”

The six folks continued to stroll ahead once more when immediately a meditation stick dropped out of nowhere startling all of them. Peachtree Flower Fairy was strolling in entrance and he swiftly jumped again bumping into Peachtree Fruit Fairy’s chest. They noticed a monk holding a meditation stick placing from the proper wall. Peachtree Flower Fairy was offended and he shouted, “His granny, bald donkey, they’re hiding right here to plot in opposition to grandpa.” He prolonged his hand in the direction of the wall to seize him. However one other meditation stick thrust out from the left wall. Peachtree Flower Fairy couldn’t step again anymore to keep away from this stick so he leaped ahead. His left foot simply touched the bottom when one other stick flew out from the proper wall.

Presently, Linghu Chong had seen every thing clearly. There was no enemy utilizing these meditation sticks however a few iron statues. These equipments have been actually fantastic. As quickly as somebody stepped on the bottom these statues have been overlaying, they’d not solely strike out however each strike was splendidly and severely finished. Peachtree Flower Fairy took out a brief iron stick and blocked the strike however it was shaken violently because it flew out of his hand. Peachtree Flower Fairy cried out and rolled round on the bottom. However one other iron meditation stick struck down in the direction of his head. Peachtree Root Fairy and Peachtree Department Fairy took out their quick iron sticks and rushed ahead to save lots of their brother. They raised each their sticks blocking the incoming meditation stick. However as the primary one was blocked, the second struck. Peachtree Trunk Fairy, Peachtree Leaf Fairy, and Peachtree Fruit Fairy rushed ahead blocking this second strike. They have been utilizing these 5 sticks to dam the incessant strikes of the 2 meditation sticks from the wall. Although the iron monks utilizing these meditation sticks weren’t alive, they have been crafted very neatly and it was as if actual Shaolin’s monks have been executing these expertise or some eminent monks have been directing the statues. Every strike finished by these iron monks was very extreme and pointed at a harmful spot.

The meditation stick together with the iron monk’s arm was made from positive metal which altogether weighed near 100 catty. This was additional added to the drive generated from the shifting arm, which made the strike to be very highly effective and just like that of a grasp. Although the Peach Valley Six Fairies’ martial arts have been highly effective, the quick iron sticks they have been utilizing have been too quick which made it onerous for them to dam the meditation sticks. The six brothers have been calling out in ache. They needed to withdraw however the way in which again was utterly blocked by the meditation sticks. Nonetheless, for each step they took going ahead, extra iron monks joined the struggle.

Linghu Chong noticed that the scenario was harmful and he additionally noticed that though these iron monks’ actions have been refined, every motion had monumental flaws in it. He instantly drew his lengthy sword out and pierced it in the direction of an iron monk’s two wrists. Bursts of sparks flew out because the lengthy sword bounced again after colliding with the acupoints within the iron monk’s wrists. At this second, he heard the Peachtree Root Fairy shouting ferociously as he was hit by the meditation stick and fell on the bottom. Linghu Chong was frightened seeing this and his thoughts was in confusion. He noticed the meditation sticks moved once more and with out pondering any additional, he thrust his sword out.

“Zheng, zheng”

He had once more hit two strategic factors on the iron monk’s physique. However though these two thrust have been excellent and fantastic, they solely managed to scrape away the rust on the iron monk’s chest and decrease stomach. He heard the wind whistled on prime of his head as a meditation stick was smashing down on him. Linghu Chong was tremendously alarmed and rapidly prevented the strike. However one other meditation stick was placing out from the left facet of his physique. Abruptly, every thing turned darkish and he could not see something anymore. It was as a result of the 4 fireplace sticks that the Peach Valley Six Fairies have been carrying have been thrown to the bottom as they began to struggle the iron monks. These fireplace sticks have been constituted of the legs of a desk. They have been capable of burn simply once they have been being carried by arms. However when dropped on the bottom, they received extinguished in a short while. When Linghu Chong first rushed ahead, three of the hearth sticks have been already extinguished. Proper when he was avoiding that strike, the fourth fireplace stick was extinguished. He was helpless as he could not see something in that gap. He felt ache taking pictures up on his left shoulder and dropped down onto the bottom. He heard the Peach Valley Six Fairies calling out one after one other: “Ayo!” “Hng!” “My mommy!” as they have been additionally hit and dropped to the bottom.

Linghu Chong was staying down and he heard behind him the “hu, hu” sound of the sticks sweeping over. He was terrified feeling like he was in a nightmare and was utterly powerless. However not lengthy after, the sound of the meditation sticks splitting the air was getting lighter and lighter. Till lastly, he heard a “ji, ji, ge, ge” sound. The sticks had lastly stopped and the iron monks returned to their authentic positions.

Abruptly, the world round him was shiny and he heard an individual calling out, “Grasp Linghu, are you right here?”

Linghu Chong was comfortable to listen to his voice and rapidly known as out, “I am… I am right here…” However he did not dare to maneuver and lay nonetheless on the bottom. He heard the footsteps of some folks getting into the opening and approaching him. He heard Ji Wushi uttered in amazement.

“Do not… do not come over… mechanism… mechanism is basically fierce,” Linghu Chong warned them.

Ji Wushi was frightened when Linghu Chong had not come again but after a very long time. So he went out with greater than ten males to seek for him. Within the Da Mo room, they discovered the doorway to the opening. They have been astonished to see Linghu Chong and the Peach Valley Six Fairies mendacity on the bottom with blood throughout them.

“Grasp Linghu, what occurred?” Zu Qianqiu known as out.

“Keep there, do not transfer. One transfer and you will set off the mechanism,” Linghu Chong stated.

“Sure! How about if I take advantage of a tender whip to tug all of you out?” Zu Qianqiu requested.

“That is one of the best ways,” Linghu Chong answered.

Zu Qianqiu flung his tender whip out and coiled it round Peachtree Department Fairy’s left leg. He dragged Peachtree Department Fairy out of there. Peachtree Department Fairy was the closest one to him so Zu Qianqiu dragged him out first. He then flung his whip and wrapped it round Linghu Chong’s proper leg. “Sorry for the offence!” He dragged him out. Utilizing this methodology, he dragged all of them out one after the other with out triggering the mechanism.

Linghu Chong falteringly stood up and swiftly went to take a look at the Peach Valley Six Fairies. The six folks’s shoulders, heads, and backs have been hit by the meditation sticks. Fortunately, they’d thick skins and flesh together with their deep inner energies to withstand the hits. So that they solely obtained flesh wounds. Peachtree Root Fairy was already bragging, “These iron monks are good, however the Peach Valley Six Fairies broke them already.” Peachtree Flower Fairy felt that it was inappropriate to assert this achievement for themselves solely so he stated, “Grasp Linghu additionally labored onerous, however he did not work as onerous as us six brothers.”

Linghu Chong endured the ache on his shoulder and head whereas laughing, “After all, who can work more durable than the Peach Valley Six Fairies?”

“Grasp Linghu, what’s this all about?” Zu Qianqiu inquired.

Linghu Chong advised him what he thought. “It’s extremely seemingly that Sacred Woman is being held in right here. Let’s consider a plan to interrupt these iron monks.”

Zu Qianqiu glared on the Peach Valley Six Fairies. “So the iron monks aren’t damaged but.”

Peachtree Trunk Fairy gave an excuse. “What’s so onerous to interrupt these iron monks? We simply did not really feel like breaking them earlier than.”

“Yeah, wherever Peach Valley Six Fairies go, there’s nothing we won’t destroy and there is not any enemy that we won’t deal with,” Peachtree Fruit Fairy bragged.

“We do not understand how good these iron monks are. Can the Peach Valley Six Fairies rush in once more to activate these machines and allow us to see how good they’re?” Ji Wushi implored.

The Peach Valley Six Fairies had suffered underneath these machines earlier than. How might they comply with this request to go in there and expertise these meditation sticks once more?

“Everybody, we have all seen a cat catching a mouse. However has anybody see a mouse catching a rat?” Peachtree Trunk Fairy tried to vary the subject.

“We seven folks noticed it simply then and it has actually widened our eyes since we have by no means seen it earlier than,” Peachtree Leaf Fairy advised everybody.

These six brothers had a very distinctive ability. Once they met with a troublesome downside that they’d no reply to, then they’d begin speaking about something and alter the subject.

“Somebody please go and get some large rock right here. These ones that weighed round one to 200 catties,” Linghu Chong ordered.

Three folks instantly went out and introduced three large rocks in. These rocks have been the pretend rock mountains from the Shaolin Temple’s courtyard. Linghu Chong carried one rock, gathered his qi and bowled the rock ahead. The rock rumbled ahead triggering the mechanism and one after the other the iron monks emerged from the partitions. They have been solely capable of see the shadows of the sticks shifting because the iron monks began to strike downwards repeatedly. After a very long time, the iron monks went again into the partitions one after one other. Everybody had now seen the dizzying velocity at which these sticks have been placing down and so they have been all at loss for phrases.

Ji Wushi instructed his opinion. “Grasp, these iron monks have some type of set off. The set off utilized plenty of energy to show an iron chain someplace to maneuver these iron males. We are able to roll these large rocks a couple of extra instances till the ability of the set off is exhausted then these iron monks will not be capable of transfer anymore.”

Linghu Chong needed to get Yingying out of hazard as quickly as attainable. “I noticed that these iron monks aren’t gradual in any respect when deploying these sticks and I do not know what number of instances they hit every time. If we attempt seven or eight extra rocks to exhaust the set off then it will be daybreak already. Do any brothers have a treasured sabre or treasured sword that I can borrow?”

An individual instantly stepped ahead and drew his sabre out. “Chief, this sabre is basically sharp.”

Linghu Chong noticed this particular person had a excessive nostril, deep eyes, and yellow beard on his chin. It appeared that he was an individual from the west area. As he took that sabre, he felt an unusually considerable chilly air emanating from it. “Many thanks! I’ll use this treasured sabre to scrape these iron males. Please do not blame me if it is broken.”

That particular person laughed. “For Sacred Woman, we would not remorse to sacrifice our lives. The sabre is just an object, don’t be concerned about it.”

Linghu Chong nodded and strode ahead purposefully. Peach Valley Six Fairies known as out on the similar time, “Watch out!”

Linghu Chong took one other two giant strides when the iron monk was triggered and a meditation stick was placing downwards in the direction of his head. This was the third time he noticed this transfer so he did not must assume as he wielded his sabre slashing in the direction of the proper wrist of the iron monk. The wrist was lower simply and the iron hand together with the meditation stick dropped to the bottom.

“Good sabre!” Linghu Chong praised. To start with, he was afraid that this sabre won’t be sharp sufficient to chop the iron monk’s wrist. However seeing how this sabre lower iron prefer it was mud, his spirit was roused tremendously.

“Shua, shua” as he lower two extra of the iron monks’ wrists. He was utilizing the sabre prefer it was a sword and used the strikes from the “Dugu 9 Swords”. The iron monks stored on popping out of the partitions to assault however their wrists had already been lower and their meditation sticks had already fallen on the bottom. Although their two arms have been nonetheless intact and so they have been nonetheless shifting them round, no extra meditation sticks have been on their arms which made them innocent. Linghu Chong stored on going ahead and the strikes the iron monks used have been fantastic. He secretly admired them however they have been solely lifeless objects in any case. In order they used their strikes, there have been many flaws on them. Even in any case their wrists have been lower off, the set off was nonetheless working repeatedly. However every thing had grow to be a waste now. The group lifted the hearth sticks excessive above their heads to comply with him and to gentle the way in which. After slicing greater than 100 iron wrists, there was no extra iron monks popping out of the wall. Somebody counted and there have been really 100 and eight iron monks. The group was excited and began to cheer loudly.

Linghu Chong needed to urgently meet Yingying so he took a fireplace stick and rushed ahead. He was being cautious as he handed alongside in case he touches some type of set off. The tunnel repeatedly slanted downwards. After going for greater than three li, the tunnel had gone previous a number of pure caves and so they did not meet any type of set off. Abruptly, they noticed a pale gentle coming from in entrance. Linghu Chong rushed ahead and as he stepped exterior, he felt that the bottom was tender. He had unexpectedly stepped on a layer of snow. On the similar time, a wave of chilly air blew on his chest. He was unexpectedly at an empty place.

He checked out all of the instructions and noticed the darkish sky and the snow flakes falling down. He additionally heard the sound of water from a creek close by. Abruptly, he felt disillusioned because the tunnel wasn’t going to the place Yingying was being imprisoned. He heard Ji Wushi behind him stated, “Everybody be quiet. Do not make any noise. It’s extremely seemingly that we’re on the backside of Mount Shaoshi.”

“So we have escaped from hazard?” Linghu Chong requested.

“Grasp, within the depth of winter, the stream on the mountaintop would haven’t any operating water. It appeared that we have handed via the tunnel and arrived on the foot of the mountain.”

“Sure, by some means we have stumbled into Shaolin Temple’s secret tunnel,” Zu Qianqiu stated.

Linghu Chong was shocked and comfortable on the similar time. He gave the treasured sabre again to that hero from the west area and stated, “Then rapidly go the phrase again to the principle group and ask them to make use of the tunnel to get out.”

Ji Wushi ordered tens of brothers to search out out their precise location on the foot of the mountain and guard the tunnel’s exit in case of the enemy attacking earlier than all of the brothers had gone out. If the tunnel’s exit was blocked earlier than all of the brothers have been out, then they’d all be trapped inside.

Not lengthy after, the folks discovering out their precise location returned to verify that they have been on the backside of Mount Shaoshi and so they have been additionally in the back of the mountain. In the event that they raised their heads, they’d be capable of see the cloister on the prime of the mountain. The group of heroes had nonetheless not escaped from hazard at this second so nobody dared to talk loudly. The variety of warriors popping out of the tunnel steadily elevated. They have been additionally carrying the injured and lifeless out with them.

Although the group of heroes had escaped with their lives, they did not cheer however simply mentioned it quietly and have been all feeling comfortable. The Black Bear from the Bear Duo of the Northern Desert stated, “Chief, these bastards nonetheless thought that we’re within the temple. It will be good to assault their butt and lower off their tail. That means we are able to vent our anger.”
