Taoism moves mountains

Chapter 538 Crusade against the Jin clan
  More than a thousand monks marched toward Lanling in a mighty manner. Almost two days later, they arrived at a checkpoint fifty miles outside Lanling City, but were intercepted by more than a hundred monks.

A small number of these one hundred monks are descendants of the Jin family, and the rest are from small aristocratic families that vassal the Jin family.

"Fellow Taoist... fellow Taoists, please stay. I wonder why you fellow Taoists are coming in groups?" Facing so many aggressive monks, the Jin family trembled even as they spoke.

"Hmph! Now I have to ask you about the Lanling Jin clan."

"Jin Guangshan has neglected his moral integrity, harmed others wantonly, and brought trouble to the world."

……

"That's right! It's just that I didn't participate in eliminating evil for the people. It's really hateful to steal homes without being loyal."

All the monks couldn't hold their tongues, they all vented their resentment and said unpleasant things, their desire to attack was stronger than their desire to seek justice.

"Okay, be quiet!" Lan Xichen stood up when he saw the monks on both sides were about to draw their swords with anger on their faces.

After the catastrophe of murderous corpses and thousands more casualties among Xuanmen monks, Lan Xichen could no longer bear to see any more deaths.

Many people still wanted to give him face, and the monks on both sides looked at him quietly.

"We just want to meet Sect Master Jin." Lan Xichen said politely.

The Jin disciple hesitated for a moment and replied: "Jun Zewu, it's not that we won't let you see the sect master, it's just that the sect master has already told you that you won't be visiting in the near future."

"You're not a guest? Still don't have the face to meet?"

"What a shameless Jin Guangshan! Does he think he can hide away without seeing us?"

……

When those Jin clan members heard so many bad words about their master, they immediately drew their swords angrily.

At this moment, the situation immediately got out of control. The children of the aristocratic families who had been persecuted by the Jin family were eager to start a war and take revenge on the Jin family.

Now that something is not in line with their wishes, it would be better to take advantage of the situation. With some encouragement from Chen Qi and other casual cultivators, the killing is imminent.

"Ding, ding, clang, clang..." The swords struck each other, and sword energy flew everywhere.

Chen Qi was very proud when he saw that there was a gap between the aristocratic families and they started fighting. He was also happy that the monks from the aristocratic families were killing each other. From time to time, he would take advantage of the opportunity to assassinate those monks who were on the side of the Lanling Jin clan.

In addition, even the children of Yunmeng Zhang and Gusu Lan were no exception and were still involved in the battlefield.

Not long after, this level was cleared by Chen Qi and others. More than a hundred monks from the Lanling Jin Sect died and their blood flowed everywhere.

Lan Xichen couldn't bear it and turned away.

"Bah! It's a thing that helps the emperor do evil." A certain monk spat at the dead body on the ground with disdain and cursed angrily.

"Watch your words! The dead are the most important." Lan Wangji said with an expressionless face, as if he had sidestepped the man, and followed Lan Xichen away after saying this.

Zhang Cheng arranged for several monks to bury the dead bodies and asked them to cast spells to eliminate the grievances.

After that, everyone continued to move forward, but when they reached the gate of Lanling City, they had to stop.

The city gate is tightly closed, and there are enchantment lamps on the city wall. The city protection enchantment has been opened, and Fei Ye cannot fly in. It is very obvious outside the guest door.

"Do you want to break through this barrier?" Chen Qi asked Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang looked at the sky and thought for a while before replying: "The barrier of this city gate is not that broken. It's getting late, so I'd better set up camp first and wait until tomorrow."

This kind of city gate barrier actually has loopholes, and everyone in the formation can easily see it, but he just doesn't say it out loud.

Of course, people with shallow formation attainments will definitely not be able to see it. Because he wanted to rest and recuperate. He had worked so hard the past few days and only had one day of rest and then traveled thousands of miles to Lanling. How could he fully recover?

Jin Guangshan couldn't run away anyway, so there was no need to rush.

After learning about Jiang Yang's proposal, Lan Xichen and others naturally agreed with it.

After midnight, all the monks took a rest except for some monks who were on night duty.

However, two sturdy figures secretly came out of their respective tents, and then met unexpectedly outside the camp.

"You..." As soon as the man in purple and blue robes spoke, another man in black attire reached out to stop him and pulled him away from the camp.

"You almost did something bad just now." After leaving the camp, the man in black clothes complained immediately.

"What's the matter? You, the ancestor of Yiling, still have nothing to do with me. Huh!" The man in purple and blue robes said angrily.

That's right! The man in black attire is the ancestor of Yiling, Wei Wuxian.

The one who dared to criticize Wei Wuxian in such a tone was naturally the leader of the Yunmeng family, Zhang Cheng.

Wei Wuxian did not take Jiang Cheng's words to heart, but asked teasingly: "Sect Leader Jiang, what are you doing sneakily if you don't sleep and rest in the middle of the night?"

"Hmph!" Jiang Cheng snorted coldly, and then said: "Don't think that I don't know why you came out. That's my sister, and I care about her more than you."

The two of them grew up together, so they still don't know their own little thoughts.

"Hehe! Not bad! We all thought of it together, so let's form an alliance happily." Wei Wuxian smiled and put on a cynical look.

It is already clear that Jin Guangshan is in a situation where he will definitely not be able to escape the sanctions imposed by the Xuanmen monks this time.

Wei Wuxian was worried that Jiang Yanli would be implicated, so he wanted to sneak into Jinlin Terrace and take away the mother and son. The same idea was shared by Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng was worried about his sister's safety and temporarily put aside his previous prejudices.

The two came to the city wall, worked together to activate the boundary-breaking talisman that had been prepared, and then opened a gap in the city protection barrier, just big enough for the two of them to get in. This way it was hidden, unsafe, and difficult to detect.

When the two secretly entered Lanling City, Jiang Yang seemed to notice it in the camp, woke up from meditation, and then secretly released his consciousness.

[These two guys. ] His spiritual sense detected that Wei Wuxian and Zhang Cheng were not in the camp, and Jiang Yang guessed what they were going to do.

He had no reason to stop it, nor did he want to meddle in it.

In addition, Lan Wangji, who was more concerned about Wei Wuxian, also noticed it. He was worried and couldn't sleep, so he walked out of the camp and looked at Lanling City under a banyan tree.

……

Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng carefully entered Jinlin Terrace, and soon found Jiang Yanli, and then told them their purpose.

Jiang Yanli still felt a sense of belonging to this Jin family and was hesitant for a moment.

When Wei Wuxian saw this, he knew that the current situation was very troublesome, so he directly used acupuncture to stun her, but he received a blank look from Zhang Cheng.

One of them held Jiang Yanli, the other held the sleeping child Jin Ling, and then secretly walked outside Jinlin Terrace.

Just when they were about to leave safely, Jin Ling was awakened by Jiang Cheng's movement.

The child cried out twice, which alerted the patrolling guards of the Lanling Jin Sect and attracted them.

Soon, Zhang Cheng and Wei Wuxian were surrounded by dozens of Jin monks. Since they had oil bottles in their hands, they were unable to show their strength, and they were unable to escape until Jin Guangshan arrived.
