Sword from Hengshan

Chapter 95 As cunning as a fox
Mo Daxin was personally taught by the headmaster, and everyone in the Five Mountains Sword Sect knew about it.

I heard that he is very outstanding at a young age.

But how could a young man of the next generation who has just entered the martial arts world be constantly worried about by the Songshan Guardians who affect the overall situation of the martial arts world?

As Le Hou and Fei Bin headed south, the closer they got to Hengyang, the more rumors they heard about "Young Master Zhao".

Especially the "night battle with six masters of the evil sect", such an absurd thing was described vividly, and people in the martial arts world talked about it with relish, but it was really funny to their ears.

If they hadn't received word from below that this "Young Master Zhao" was indeed talented, they would never have taken him seriously.

Before leaving Songshan, Alliance Leader Zuo asked them to keep an eye on the person in the limelight on Shajiao Island, as Zhao Rong was the real figure. Fei Bin and Le Hou felt that this was a lowering of status and making a fuss out of nothing.

They didn't even take the entire Hengshan Sect seriously, let alone a new member of Hengshan Sect.

But because of Senior Brother Zuo's face, I couldn't refute it.

In the battle of Shajiao Island, Le Hou's disciples and four underworld masters were all killed. The information they received was incomplete, but their first reaction was that it was Mo Da who did it.

Only Mo Da from the Hengshan School could do this.

As for Zhao Rong?

Mo Da wanted to leave a successor, so of course he had to build momentum for it.

How could such a little trick be hidden from them?

The Songshan Sect was at fault in the Shajiao Island incident, and they could not directly complain about it. But the murder account must be put on the Hengshan Sect anyway.

Since Mo Da liked this new disciple very much and promoted him to be his front man, the two of them would naturally try to use this as a breakthrough point to change the Hengshan School's attitude towards the "Five Mountains Integration".

But the young man who walked out of the darkness now was obviously different from what they had imagined in their minds.

His blue clothes were stained with blood, and he held a long sword.

He should have been cold and stern, but instead he looked tired, his eyes were kind and respectful, and he exuded a humble and simple air.

A talented young knight with heroic spirit, courage and a heart of gold?

It doesn't look like it.

But it fits the Hengshan style very well, no wonder Mo Da fell in love with it.

"Nephew, you Hengshan Sect came at such a good time," Le Hou rubbed his fat fleshy palms. Anyone could hear the coldness in his words. "It's really like a sesame seed falling into a needle's eye. The Demon Sect came just before you arrived."

"I thought it was two groups of demons trying to lure us out of the inn."

The Songshan Sect had been in a mess all the way to Hengzhou Prefecture, and now they were staying indoors. They were bound to feel humiliated when they saw the people from the Hengshan Sect.

Le Hou was sarcastic and hinted that the Hengshan Sect was colluding with the Demon Sect.

This is the Songshan School's signature skill. The old guard is very skilled and is very familiar with using this kind of words to suppress others.

Fei Bin, who was standing by, noticed that Zhao Rong looked nervous and flustered after hearing what Le Hou said, and hurriedly said "it's a misunderstanding".

"Uncle Master doesn't know."

"Since the third autumn of last year, we have been fighting with the Demon Cult. Now the Demon Cult is retaliating against the forces related to the Hengshan Sect. There have been many large and small battles around Hengzhou Prefecture, and Blackwood Cliff is still sending more people!"

Zhao Rong sighed, "Many of my brothers and sisters have been killed or injured. Master Mo couldn't stand the pressure and was ready to ask for help from Master Zuo. Unexpectedly, the leader sent a letter and learned that the two uncles had left Songshan. I was overjoyed!"

Speaking of this, a smile instantly appeared on Zhao Rong's tired face.

The look he gave Le Hou and Fei Bin was even more respectful, as if he was sincerely grateful to them.

"Now that reinforcements are coming, the demons of the Demon Cult are panicking. The two uncles have just arrived in Hengyang, so they are inevitably tired and exhausted. Master is worried that the Demon Cult will attack at night, so he ordered us to guard the surrounding area."

"If the Demon Cult doesn't come, we will show up early in the morning to welcome our friends from Songshan into the city. If the Demon Cult attacks, all the Hengshan disciples will break out of the ambush and cause these evil thieves to suffer heavy losses!"

Zhao Rong raised the tone of his voice by one syllable, and his face was filled with indignation when he talked about killing the evil thieves of the Demon Sect.

Le Hou and Fei Bin's eyelids twitched.

They finally understood why the cult was targeting them.

'They actually thought we were Hengshan Sect's reinforcements!'

The two guards felt a nameless anger in their hearts.

The Hengshan Sect was determined not to deny any connection with this matter, but the young man in front of them spoke so righteously and acted so tired and weak from rescuing Songshan, so they could not find any reason to get angry.

Fei Bin gave a fake smile, "Thank you for your hard work, nephew."

"Please come into the inn and rest together."

"Thank you for your kindness, uncle-master," Zhao Rong sternly refused, "Master has ordered that the Hengshan disciples should guard the Songshan School friends tonight."

"Uncle Master, just rest assured. We will take care of the Demon Cult."

After he finished speaking, he bowed and led his men out of the inn.

Just kidding, stay with you,
Isn't it safer outside?
Zhao Rong turned his back, the cunning look on his face hidden in the darkness, so Le Hou and Fei Bin could not see it. Inside the inn, they saw the people from Hengshan Sect leaving.

Fei Bin waved his hand and dismissed the people around him.

"Brother, what do you think of this boy?"

Le Hou said as he went upstairs, "Maybe a little talented, but nothing special."

He sneered, "There are so many talented young people in this world, but it will take decades for them to become successful."

Le Hou suddenly showed a cautious look again, "But Mo Da is a very cunning old fox. I'm afraid even Senior Brother Zuo underestimates him."

"That's right!" Fei Bin also focused on Mo Da, "Not only did he use us to eliminate the reinforcements from the Demon Cult going south, but he also used us as bait to ambush and kill the Demon Cult."

"He really regards us as the key to solving the sect's crisis."

"The entire situation in Hengyang should be manipulated by him behind the scenes."

"He recruited disciples to find successors, and he also killed my disciples to show his determination. Mo Da is determined to keep the Hengshan Sect in a corner," Le Hou paced, "Junior brother, I'm afraid this trip will not go smoothly."

"The Hengshan Sect has been prepared for a long time and has made plans before taking action. It is better for us to act according to the situation to avoid suffering losses in Hengyang."

Fei Bin nodded naturally.

If you still can't understand the situation at this moment, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive in the underworld.

The Hengzhou Prefecture was several times more chaotic than expected. There was no way of finding out the details as a newcomer. The information I got from Lu Lianrong was completely different from what I actually saw.

The real helmsman of the Hengshan School has always been Mr. Mo Da.

That night, the group in Songshan still could not calm down.

The third watch.

Suddenly, there were sounds of shouting and weapons clashing outside.

When Le Hou and his men rushed out, the people from the Demon Cult were beaten back again.

Fourth watch.

A person with great martial arts skills burned down the stable, and the surrounding area was full of tung oil. It seemed that he wanted to burn all the people from the Songshan School to death.

Zhao Rong led several inner disciples to chase after the thief, and finally the thief jumped into the water and escaped.

after that,
A few hundred meters away from the inn, some Hengshan disciples closed their eyes and rested.

Inside the inn, none of the people from the Songshan Sect who were under guard dared to sleep.

Some people are conflicted.

Why are there more demon cults as we get closer to Hengyang City?
Early the next morning,
Zhao Rong led the way with a "tired" look on his face, following the foot of the Five Gods Peak to the north of Yancheng.

The spirits of the people in Songshan were generally not good. Fei Bin's disciples were listless on the road and yawned occasionally.
This distress seemed to have spread to Yancheng.

At Tongfu Inn in the west of the city, no one was practicing boxing this morning.

Most of the waiters, clerks, accountants, and even the shopkeepers had sleepy eyes, but if you looked closely at their eyes, you could see excitement hidden in their sleepy eyes, which was different from the disciples of Songshan.

……

Before noon, the group from Songshan arrived at the mountain gate of the Hengshan Sect’s headquarters.

The head master, Mr. Mo Da, came over with a smile on his face.

Fei Bin and Le Hou greeted together: "Senior Brother Mo, how are you?"

"Senior Brother Fei, Senior Brother Le, how are you?" Mo Da was polite and humble, not daring to show off in front of the Songshan master. He bowed in the direction of the Songshan Sect and said, "How are you, Alliance Leader Zuo?"

His manners were always considerate.

In the past, Mr. Mo Da's image in Fei Bin and Le Hou's eyes was mostly that of a shabby and mediocre person, like a petty man in the market, who was cautious in doing things and no one dared to offend him.

But after this trip, looking at Mo Da's tattered clothes, I thought he was cunning and deliberately disguised.

However, Fei Bin and Le Hou only cursed in their hearts.

The more we realize the great danger, the less we dare to underestimate it as we usually do.

How can you be arrogant if you are afraid in your heart?

Coupled with the torture and bumps along the way, the two guardians of Songshan have long lost the vigor and arrogance they had when they left Songshan.

Their eyes were all on Mo Da, and even Zhao Rong beside Mo Da was too lazy to take another look.
