“Brother Lian Cheng, I now believe you can defeat a first-rate master!” Yi He wiped the sweat off his bald head and laughed.
“Did you think I was lying before, Senior Sister?”
Lian Cheng casually flipped through the four corpses. There were no secret manuals, just some silver and the special wine cups found on Huang He Lao Zu and the others.
Like the mutton fat jade cup, the jade cup, the rhinoceros horn cup, the night glow cup, etc.
These cups seem to have been used by the old man to save his daughter in the original novel, but it is still unknown whether the old man’s daughter was born. The key is that the old man is already dead, so these special cups have naturally become spoils of war.
Just right, Linghu Chong loves drinking, so I can give him one or two later.
Lian Cheng then handed the silver to Yi He, and before Yi He could refuse, he immediately said, “Senior Sister Yi He, the Demon Cult commits many evil deeds, so this money may have been obtained through robbery and murder. Just think of it as incense money for the victims. When we return to Hengshan Sect, we will give the victims a proper eulogy, alright?”
Upon hearing this, Yi He did not hesitate to take it, “Brother Lian Cheng is right. I will definitely remember to give the victims a eulogy. May they be reborn into good families in the next life.”
Seeing this, Lian Cheng secretly felt relieved.
He took so many good cups, he felt a bit embarrassed, so he could only indirectly let Yi He share the spoils.
Fortunately, Yi He is not stubborn and easily accepted this explanation. Moreover, this silly nun will surely go back and properly perform the eulogy for the “victims.” After all, most of the Hengshan female disciples are pure of heart. They truly believe in Buddha and always regulate themselves according to Buddhist precepts. What they say, they will do.
This alone makes countless martial artists blush.
Lian Cheng pushed aside his extraneous thoughts and dragged the four corpses to the bottom of the ruined temple wall. He wrote on the wall with blood:
Demon Cult villains, killed by the Five Peaks Sword Sect!
Since it was a warning to the Demon Cult, he naturally raised the banner of the Five Peaks Sword Sect. After all, a single sect does not have enough deterrent power, while the Five Peaks Alliance is more effective.
Although there are constant internal conflicts within the alliance, it still poses a certain threat to the Demon Cult.
Hopefully, the Demon Cult will be discouraged by this.
After doing this, the two immediately headed for the county town, intending to report the situation to Senior Sister Ding Yi. However, after walking only a few miles, the two immediately stopped and drew their swords, back-to-back, on guard.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Eight figures in black suddenly surrounded them from all directions, blocking all the paths.
Lian Cheng sensed the aura of the men in black and discovered that two of them were first-rate masters, while the other six were all second-rate, his heart sank.
However, he remained calm and immediately said coldly, “Are you people from Zuo Leng Chan?”
Upon hearing this, the eight men in black stiffened for a moment. Although they immediately recovered, Lian Cheng and Yi He had seen it clearly.
Obviously, Lian Cheng had guessed right.
One of the men in black loudly covered up his nervousness, shouting, “What Zuo Leng Chan? We are people from the Demon Cult, sent by Dongfang Bu—cough, the Eastern Cult Master to level Mount Hua Sect! You’d better not resist, or you’ll only be given a whole corpse!”
“Hehe, do you think people are fools, or are you the fool?”
Lian Cheng laughed mockingly, “Let me tell you, the Demon Cult never calls themselves the Demon Cult, they call themselves the Sun and Moon Divine Sect! Also, the Demon Cult acts openly and never hides their identities, especially in broad daylight! Moreover, you’re nervous, you almost slipped up and called out Dongfang Bu Bai’s name! How dare you say you’re not people from Zuo Leng Chan?!”
The eight men in black looked at each other. They originally wanted to pretend to be people from the Demon Cult, use the Demon Cult’s name to kill the disciples of Mount Hua and Hengshan Sects, thus weakening their power, and also incite a fight to the death between the two sects and the Demon Cult.
But they were exposed as soon as they appeared!
This kid is too smart, letting him live will lead to trouble!
Therefore, the eight men in black narrowed their eyes, their eyes filled with killing intent, and they tightened their grip on their swords, gradually narrowing the encirclement.
Yi He roared in anger, “What does Zuo Leng Chan mean! We’re fighting the Demon Cult. He doesn’t help, that’s fine, but he actually sent people to assassinate us! Is he going to betray the agreement of the Five Peaks Alliance?!”
However, the eight men in black did not care and continued to close in.
Lian Cheng was too lazy to waste any more words. With dual swords in hand, he was a first-rate master, his only worry was Yi He’s ability.
“Kill!”
The eight men in black all rushed forward, their killing intent engulfing the two.
Lian Cheng’s body suddenly erupted with purple energy. All his inner strength was unleashed, using the Lian Cheng Sword Art with his left hand and the Yang Wu Sword Art with his right. He immediately blocked the six long swords of the men in black, but he couldn’t block all of them. Two long swords pierced his back.
The enemy’s inner strength penetrated his body, colliding with his Purple Cloud inner strength, making him cough up a mouthful of blood.
Fortunately, he protected Yi He and kept her from getting injured.
“Brother Lian Cheng!”
Yi He was anxious, but her little strength was of no help, and she didn’t know what to do for a moment.
Lian Cheng once again surged his inner strength, knocking away all the men in black’s long swords. He stepped on the Ling Bo Wei Bu and dashed in front of a second-rate man in black, knocking him flying with a shoulder charge.
Without caring about the man in black’s fate, he grabbed Yi He and charged through the gap he had created.
Yi He didn’t understand what was going on, but she was dragged along for dozens of feet, and then Lian Cheng pushed her with both hands, sending her flying towards the distance.
“Senior Sister, run to the county town quickly and find Senior Sister Ding Yi! My footwork is fast, I can hold these men in black for a while!”
“Brother Lian Cheng......”
“Go quickly! You’re a liability right now. You’re here, I can’t run or focus on fighting!”
“......Alright!”
Yi He understood that Lian Cheng deliberately said that to make her leave quickly. She was indeed a liability. Staying would only hold him back. It would be best to find her master as soon as possible.
Moreover, as long as she runs far enough, Lian Cheng won’t have to worry about her safety and won’t have to block the men in black to death.
With Lian Cheng’s Ling Bo Wei Bu, he should have no problem running away.
Thinking of this, Yi He did not dare to hesitate, and ran at full speed towards the county town. However, she was still angry about her weakness and secretly made up her mind to become stronger quickly. She also prayed that Lian Cheng would be safe and sound.
“Brother Lian Cheng, you must live!”
Hearing Yi He’s shout, Lian Cheng felt his mouth twitch. Not only was the wound on his back painful, but her words also gave him a heavy burden, he estimated that even if he didn’t die, he might still be in trouble.
The seven men in black quickly chased after him, but Lian Cheng blocked them with his dual swords.
One of the first-rate men in black wanted to charge past him, but unexpectedly, Lian Cheng, wielding his dual swords in unison, actually blocked the man.
He even forced him back!
This outcome shocked the men in black!
“Cough! Trouble now, the little nun ran away, the old nun will be here soon!”
The second-rate man in black who had been knocked flying came over, covering his chest, his voice filled with helplessness, it was clear that this matter was beyond their plan.
