They immediately subdued Zhang Wupo, while others checked on Li Mingyue's injuries. Although Li Mingyue was an enemy, she was still their junior sister and could be of use.

A living dawn is more valuable than a dead dawn.

"Are you crazy? Senior brother already warned us before that we couldn't kill Li Mingyue, nor could we let her commit suicide. Don't you take his words seriously? Is this really okay?"

Having said all that, they were completely disregarding Zhang Wupo. However, Zhang Wupo's previous actions were indeed excessive, so it's understandable that the others reacted this way.

Zhang Wupo had long anticipated that this situation would occur.

His lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

He thought to himself, "Hmph, as long as I kill this woman, you can say whatever you want."

In his view, Dawn Moon had no chance of surviving.

He was using all his strength just now.

How could a frail woman like Li Mingyue possibly have a chance to survive?
But things often turn out strangely; what he was absolutely certain of turned out to be unexpected. Li Mingyue was not dead; she was still clinging to life and could barely be saved.

Even now, Li Mingyue's eyes are still filled with disbelief.

She couldn't believe the man before her could be so ruthless and decisive, actually trying to kill her to silence her. Unfortunately for him, she survived; she was still alive.

Thinking of this, a hint of mockery appeared in Li Mingyue's eyes.

There was even a hint of nonchalance in it.

She had previously been thinking about surviving and finding a chance to escape.

But now, she doesn't have that many thoughts anymore.

Having already died once, she was prepared to drag Zhang Wu down with her.

"It's alright, thankfully, I'm still breathing."

"Keep an eye on your senior brother and don't let him get any closer to her."

Soon, Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain began to provide medical treatment to Li Mingyue.

At this moment, Zhang Wupo was completely under control. He no longer had the right to approach Li Mingyue. In fact, after this incident, Zhang Wupo had been labeled a suspect.

If Li Mingyue can be a traitor, then it seems plausible that Zhang Wupo is also a traitor.

Zhang Wupo could understand the emotions of his fellow disciples.

But his expression was extremely grim, because Li Mingyue was not dead.

The fact that Li Mingyue is still alive means that his secret may not be able to be kept.

I was too lenient before.

Perhaps we can try again.

"She's from Japan, why are you going to all this trouble to save her?"

"What difference does it make whether she's dead or alive? How much useful information can she provide us?"

"You don't really think she'll confess, do you?"

"No way, no way, you're going to treat me like this for a woman? All those years of brotherhood between us are gone? Heh, I, Zhang Wupo, have finally seen through you."

He is now under control.

It's completely impossible to break free.

Moreover, doing so would only confirm his guilt.

Now, all Zhang Wupo can do is try to gain an opportunity by appealing to people's emotions.

This is what's known as moral blackmail. His words did have some effect, but not a significant one; not everyone was fooled by Zhang Wupo's sweet talk.

"What my senior brother said seems to make sense."

“There’s no need for us to ruin the harmony between our senior brothers over such a woman.” A younger junior brother spoke up for his senior brother Zhang Wupo.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wupo immediately gave him an encouraging look.

He knew this junior brother.

He had casually offered this junior apprentice some pointers a few times in his spare time. He never imagined that those few casual words would bring him such a fortunate connection. This junior apprentice could be considered the key to his success or failure this time.

However, this was simply Zhang Wupo overthinking things.

"Junior brother, there are some things you need to understand."

"This matter was specifically instructed by our senior brother. Not to mention you, even this senior brother Zhang Wupo will be in deep trouble. If you speak up for him again, don't blame your senior brother for being impolite to you."

The junior brother, who had originally intended to speak up for Zhang Wupo, immediately chickened out.

He dared not ignore the warnings from his senior brothers and sisters.

The junior brother is indeed the junior brother; he is very well-behaved in front of so many senior brothers and sisters.

That one sentence made him back down.

Zhang Wupo was so angry when he saw this that his nose almost twisted out of shape.

He hadn't expected his junior brother to be so useless and cowardly.

"What my senior brother said makes sense. I didn't think it through. Please don't blame me, fellow senior brothers."

"Senior brother, please don't be offended. Don't you care about senior sister's opinion?"

Wang Xiaoyue's persuasion finally convinced this junior brother to give in completely.

Zhang Wupo was completely dumbfounded by what he saw.

My only hope is gone. In this critical moment, isn't there a single reliable person who will stand up for me and say a few words? Is my reputation really that bad? What a failure.

"Damn, this little wench is really tough. I didn't kill her this time."

Zhang Wupo was filled with remorse. He didn't regret striking Li Mingyue prematurely, but rather that he hadn't been lenient. If he had used just a little more force, things might have turned out differently. Unfortunately, there was no going back, and time could never be turned back.

"I advise you, senior brother, to stay put."

"We also did not suspect that our senior brother was from Japan."

Wang Xiaoyue came to Zhang Wupo's side and said.

In fact, what she said was correct. Regardless of Zhang Wupo's motives, he couldn't possibly be a Japanese citizen. Zhang Wupo grew up in Longhu Mountain.

Anyone could be a traitor, but she felt that Zhang Wupo couldn't possibly be one.

However, now is not the time to dwell on this issue.

Regardless of whether Zhang Wupo is from Japan or not, his actions just now disobeyed the orders of his senior brother, Zhang Wuqing. In Longhu Mountain today, the senior brother's authority is still considerable. Compared to Zhang Wupo, Zhang Wuqing is the true leader capable of shouldering the responsibility of leading Longhu Mountain.

Everyone was quite impressed with Zhang Wuqing.

But if it were Zhang Wupo instead, they wouldn't be so sure.

"Hehe, whatever you want. I know I was a bit impulsive."

Facing the gazes of many junior brothers and sisters, Zhang Wupo didn't try anything funny.

He was extremely honest in facing and admitting everything he had done before.

That's what we did. What else can we do? We're tied up, and we'll just have to wait for our senior brother to come back and decide what to do with us.

Zhang Wupo didn't believe his senior brother Zhang Wuqing would clean house.

Doing this is not only taking his life, but also slapping Longhushan in the face.

Of course, even knowing his life wasn't in danger, he still didn't want others to know his secret. Zhang Wupo was, after all, a man of pride. If others found out about his agreement with Li Mingyue, how could he maintain his standing in Longhu Mountain?

……

at the same time.

Lin Beichen's side is also on the right track.

Beidou and Sha Polang, who were trying to escape, had no way out. They were preparing for a desperate fight, intending to engage in a fierce battle with the approaching Chinese. Of course, the most important thing was to outwit and outmaneuver them, hoping to shift the blame eastward.

Of course, these are all wishful thinking on their part.

"You're already trapped. I advise you to surrender obediently to avoid unnecessary physical suffering. Kneel down obediently, face the mistakes you've made, sincerely repent, and atone for your sins. Maybe I can show you some leniency."

Zhao Si immediately launched a campaign to persuade them to surrender.

Would the enemy believe what he said? Not only would Beidou and Sha Polang not believe it, but even Lin Beichen and his group wouldn't believe it at all. This is clearly a trick to fool a three-year-old; it would be strange if those two Japanese people believed it.

However, it's clear that those two from Japan aren't fools.

They won't be fooled by such a low-level scam.

"Do you really think I'm a three-year-old? Haha, you're kidding me."

Even with no way out, Beidou still smiled dismissively.

He knew he didn't have many options left. Taking someone down with him before he died wouldn't be bad. He didn't choose to retreat because there was no way to go any further.

The main force from Longhu Mountain was waiting for them outside.

Going out means certain death; staying and giving it a shot might offer a chance.

These people in front of me must be the elite leaders of Longhu Mountain.

If they can capture any one of them alive, they will have a chance to escape.

This is the key to breaking the deadlock.

"Stop talking nonsense, if you've got the guts, just come at me. If I even frown or raise an eyebrow, I'll admit defeat." Sha Po Lang roared fiercely, completely disregarding life and death.

The two men appeared to be very imposing on the surface.

In reality, they were deeply distressed.

They were all wailing and complaining in their hearts, blaming the monster in the shadows.

"Wasn't it quite imposing just now? How come it's like it didn't exist now? Does this monster even know what it means to bully the weak and fear the strong? It's unbelievable, could it get any more outrageous?"

The two were almost in tears.

The monster, which had been so menacing just moments before, vanished without a trace, like smoke.

This scene is utterly absurd! Even monsters these days know how to assess the situation and bully the weak while fearing the strong.

Lin Beichen saw through the schemes hidden in the two men's hearts. He could only sigh inwardly at their ulterior motives: "Whatever makes you happy." They really thought it was all a coincidence, little did they know that the person was no ordinary monster, but Zhang Daoling from Longhu Mountain.

Moreover, he retained his mental capacity from when he was alive.

Perhaps he can no longer remember most of the past events.

However, on certain matters of principle, Zhang Daoling remembered them clearly.

For example, the deep hatred for those villains from Japan, while not irreconcilable, was still etched in their hearts. The crimes committed by the Japanese against China were countless, and how could the people of Longhu Mountain stand idly by? Zhang Daoling was a witness to that era.

"Do you really think I'm a fool?"

"Hmph, do you think I'm some kind of idiot who can't tell friend from foe?"

Zhang Daoling couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

The current situation appears rather comical. The actions of Sha Po Lang and Bei Dou are clearly different.

When something goes wrong, there must be something fishy.

What exactly are they relying on? Why are they so fearless?
After a little speculation, Zhang Daoling came to a conclusion.

Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed. Zhang Daoling was no fool.

"No rush, let's see what tricks they're up to."

Lin Beichen reached out and stopped Yu Feng, who was about to step forward.

At this point, there is no need to be so impatient.

We just need to slowly wear down the arrogance of these two people from the cherry blossom country.

They're so fearless now, brimming with rage, that taking action now would inevitably result in casualties. To avoid unnecessary losses, it's best not to rush into action.

As the saying goes, once you make great efforts, you will be exhausted again and again.

Every Chinese person understands this principle.

But understanding the principles doesn't mean being able to apply them skillfully.

The truth is right in front of us, but only those who have truly experienced it can understand it.

Apart from Yu Feng, none of the others rushed to make a move. This alone reveals the difference in their intelligence. Yu Feng was ultimately too impulsive; he should have thought things through carefully before acting. He was a classic case of having plenty of courage but lacking strategy.

However, these are not major problems.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid he'll turn around and bite us back?"

"I'm confident I can take down these two minor characters easily. I don't believe they can pull any tricks." Yu Feng remained nonchalant, even thinking Lin Beichen was being overly cautious. But soon, he sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.

Why were the Taoist priests standing nearby also so unmoved?
They ignored the enemy who was right in front of them?
Are they afraid too?
Given the current situation, there seems to be no need to be afraid. Could there be other reasons?

Just now, Brother Lin Beichen didn't want me to rush forward, did he?
These people reacted the same way, which suggests there's something fishy going on.

Hmm, I shouldn't be too impulsive! I was just pretending to be impulsive.

The purpose is to confuse the other party.

Right, that is it.

Yu Feng found a reason for himself in his heart.

He then obediently stood beside Lin Beichen and said no more.

Wang Baozi glanced at Yu Feng indifferently, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He thought he was the most useless one in the team.

Now it seems I underestimated myself.

At least for now, I am still somewhat useful.

Intellectually, I'm not the worst one. If it really comes down to a physical fight, I can be of help too.

So many people against two.

Will Wang Baozi be scared?

He loves these opportunities to kick someone when they're down.

Time passed slowly, and Beidou and Sha Polang grew increasingly anxious.

They waited and waited, hoping the terrifying monster behind the scenes would make a move, but nothing happened. Despair began to creep in.

My mood gradually declined.

The original passion for hard work has completely vanished.

The desire to fight vanished without a trace, replaced by despair.

"It's over, we're really finished this time."

"Is there any point in resisting? Do you think we should still resist?"

Sha Po Lang asked Bei Dou, feeling confused.

He didn't know what to do next.

If you fight, you will definitely not be able to defeat him.

But do we really have to surrender?
He truly did not want to do such a shameful thing. (End of Chapter)
