Chapter 262 Coincidence
The small mountain town was pitch black at night, without even a candle.

Because the villagers here either fled to Lingzhou, died on the way to escape the chaos, or died at the hands of monsters.

This is already a complete monster village, and monsters don't need light.

There are all kinds of strange origins of monsters. Some sleep during the day, some sleep at night, and some hardly ever need to sleep.

In the dark mountain town, many figures can be seen moving around.

The sound of footsteps was heard on the official road next to the small mountain town.

They were a group of Taoists and a group of monks.

They walked very quickly and quietly, but the monsters in the small mountain town still noticed their arrival.

"Roar!"

A deafening tiger roar was heard.

The monsters in Xiaoshan Town rushed towards the strange group on the official road like a group of demons dancing wildly.

The Taoist priest held a sword and the old monk held a staff, and they fought with the monsters.

The monsters were beaten to pieces by the Taoists and monks, leaving only pools of scarlet blood and corpses filling the official roads.

The battle lasted for half an hour and finally stopped.

"evildoer!"

An old man in a Taoist robe snorted coldly as he looked at the corpse on the ground.

If Bai Yuan were here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this person was Taoist Cangsong from the Tianxuan Sect.

After believing that the Tianxuan Sect had suffered a setback at the hands of Du Qinghui, Taoist Cangsong stayed in his room and seldom went out, and the Tianxuan Sect seldom got involved in Lingzhou's affairs.

Du Qinghui turned a blind eye to this.

The Tianxuan Sect was invited by the Grand Tutor, not by him, Du Qinghui. In his opinion, it was enough as long as the Tianxuan Sect did not cause trouble.

Later, the Zhenbei Army was defeated and the Tianxuan Sect received the news in advance, so Taoist Cangsong took advantage of the distance and arrived in Dingzhou first.

"My Buddha is merciful."

An old monk with white hair and beard clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name in a low voice.

He was completely different from the man who had killed three monsters with one stick before.

Taoist Cangsong glanced at the old monk beside him and sneered in his heart.

hypocritical!

Although the Tianxuan sect combines Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism into one sect, the gap between the three religions is not small.

In addition to the hatred accumulated from generation to generation, there are more differences in ideas.

Just like Taoists view Buddhism as false compassion.

In fact, even within Taoism, there are huge differences.

The beliefs of different branches are also very different. Some believe in the Great Emperor Zhenwu, some believe in the Heavenly Master Lei Fa, and most of them can't stand each other.

Taoist Cangsong ordered the young Taoist Luo Daoyi behind him: "Clean up Xiaoshan Town within an hour."

The Tianxuan Sect is closest to the northern border, so it has the best of both worlds.

They must seize enough territory before the forces outside the northern border come to Dingzhou.

"Yes."

The young Taoist boy Luo Daoyi hurriedly called upon the Taoist priests and monks behind him to charge into the small mountain town, vowing to eradicate all evil.

Taoist Cangsong's most capable disciple Chen Qing followed Taoist Jiuzhen to Shenfu Mountain and there has been no news since then, leaving him as the only disciple left.

The old monk chanted "Amitabha" again and turned to look at Taoist Cangsong.

"Junior Brother Cangsong, the powerful demon sect members on the Great Wall will soon arrive in Fenggu County. We must make plans early."

"I wonder what you think we should do, brother?"

The old monk's Buddhist name was Fatong. He was the leader of the Tianxuan Sect stationed in Qingzhou. After hearing the news, he and Taoist Cangsong coincidentally chose Dingzhou.

After the two met by chance in Dingzhou, they decided to join forces to attack the city.

Although Buddhism and Taoism are constantly fighting, they will still choose to cooperate when it comes to their own interests.

They have now captured eight towns in Fenggu County, and the time is ripe.

But they didn't expect the Cao Gang to interfere. In addition, the Demon Sect also began to take action, which forced them to be cautious.

When Taoist Cangsong thought of the Cao Gang, he felt so angry that his teeth itched.

If it weren't for that group of stinky fishmongers, Fenggu County would have long been in the hands of Tianxuan Sect.

"Feng San!"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Taoist Cangsong's eyes.

The leader of the Tianxuan Sect has issued an order that whoever captures the city will become the leader of the underground sect.

This is a rare opportunity.

Anyone who stands in the way must die!
Master Fatong spoke slowly: "I see that Mr. Feng has shown signs of being possessed by a demon. He must be freed from the demon as soon as possible."

"Brother, what you said makes sense."

Taoist Cangsong smiled teasingly.

Whether or not to become a demon is up to these bald donkeys to decide.

These old monks in Buddhism have killed countless people using this excuse. In reality, it is nothing more than profit.

However, as long as Master Fatong is willing to take action, he naturally won't say much.

While talking to the old monk, Taoist Cangsong's eyes suddenly focused, and he swung the whisk in his right hand towards the bushes beside him. A flying sword shot out from the whisk, and then a light cry was heard.

Taoist Cangsong curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer.

He flashed and disappeared into the woods beside the official road.

After a few breaths, a middle-aged man appeared in front of him. The man's left chest had been pierced by Taoist Cangsong's sword. He staggered forward with difficulty. It was obvious that he was at the end of his strength and would not survive.

Taoist Cangsong walked behind the man and ended his life with one palm.

At the same time, Master Fatong also appeared beside the man.

"Who is this donor?"

Taoist Cangsong used his toes to turn the man's body over and saw his face clearly.

Old Monk Fatong frowned slightly: "Could it be someone from the Cao Gang?" They had already encountered the Cao Gang, and the other side's scouts who were trying to track their whereabouts were also being cleared out.

But Taoist Cangsong shook his head and slowly said, "Shenfu Gate."

"The spies we sent out haven't come back yet?"

Bai Yuan frowned when he heard the news.

After they set up camp outside the small mountain town, they sent out five teams of spies to investigate the situation inside the small mountain town.

But now the sky has turned white, and there is still no news.

There must be something strange about this.

Yang Fangyu and Li Huan also looked puzzled.

Xiaoshan Town is just a small town. The monsters lurking there are not very strong, so there is no reason for any accidents to happen.

Just when Yang Fangyu was about to go and investigate in person, Huben, the deputy commander of the Shenfu Army, returned to the camp.

Bai Yuan: "Commander Tiger, have you found anything?"

Hu Ben's face was solemn: "Master, he is from Tianxuan Sect."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan and the other two froze in silence.

Unexpectedly, they happened to choose the same place as the Tianxuan Sect.

"They killed all the spies we sent out, and I was almost discovered by them."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Bai Yuan nodded.

Although Huben looks rough and careless, he is actually a thoughtful person, which is why he was able to escape from Xiaoshan Town.

Yang Fangyu was a little depressed.

If it was just the Cao Gang, they wouldn't be afraid, but if the Tianxuan Sect was added, it would become a bit tricky.

He had to think about whether to give up Fenggu County.

Although some time was wasted, it was still not too late.

Li Huan: "Commander Tiger, have you seen who is the leader of the Tianxuan Sect?"

Huben groaned, "I only know the Taoist Cangsong and an old monk with white hair and beard, whom I have never seen before."

Hearing Huben's words, Li Huan blurted out: "Master Fatong!"

Bai Yuan and Yang Fangyu both looked at Li Huan.

It is not surprising that Taoist Cangsong came to Dingzhou. After all, Taoist Cangsong is in Lingzhou, and Dingzhou is the closest to Lingzhou. But who is this monk Fatong?
Li Huan paused and said, "Monk Fatong is the leader of the Tianxuan Sect going to Qingzhou."

Then he laughed bitterly: "What a coincidence."

Monk Fatong not only came to Dingzhou, but also chose Fenggu County like them. It was really fate.

"The monk Fatong is very powerful, and should be as powerful as Jiang Zhizhou."

Bai Yuan and the other two felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Yang Fangyu and Li Huan's official position was prefect, not only because of their lack of experience, but also because of their lack of strength.

Even though the two men's fighting power exceeds that of an ordinary prefect, they are still far from being able to compete with a well-known veteran strongman like Jiang Changping.

With a Taoist priest Cangsong, the three of them might still have a chance of winning if they join forces.

But if we add another person with the Fatong Skill, they will definitely not be a match.

But if they were asked to give up now, they would be unwilling to do so.

After all, time is running out. If I give up Fenggu County, the situation in the next place might not be much better.

Just when Yang Fangyu and Li Huan were struggling, Bai Yuan made the final decision: "Go to Guiyuan County."

Hearing Bai Yuan's words, both of them nodded.

Yang Fangyu couldn't help but admire Bai Yuan's decisiveness. Making a choice is not an easy thing.

Now that the decision had been made, the three of them decided not to delay any longer.

He immediately led his troops away from Cuixi Mountain.

The reason why Bai Yuan chose to leave was actually very simple, and that was risk-return analysis.

He couldn't defeat Taoist Cangsong, Monk Fatong and the Cao Gang.

Since he couldn't win, there was naturally no need to stay any longer. He came here to kill monsters, not to die.

No one can tell whether the Tianxuan Sect and the Cao Gang will join forces, so of course it is better to be cautious.

Just shortly after Bai Yuan and his group left.

An old Taoist priest and an old monk appeared in the valley.

"gone?"

Taoist Cangsong looked at the deserted valley and frowned.

The patches of flattened grass in the valley did not indicate that a large group of people had been here not long ago.

Master Fatong put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, he should have passed away."

Taoist Cangsong looked unhappy.

After he learned that the Shenfu Sect was also here, he immediately sent people to search the area within a radius of ten miles.

We finally found the hiding place of the Shenfu Sect, but we didn't expect that they would escape like this.

His relationship with the Shenfu Sect couldn't be said to be good, but it wasn't to the point where they had to fight to the death.

True Man Jiuzhen was not from the same lineage as him, so if he died, he died. As for Chen Qing, he was just a disciple, so it didn't matter to him.

What really interested him was the words of Changshou Palace's Chunyuan Zhenren.
He once visited the Changshou Palace.

After he left, Changshou Palace completely disappeared from the sight of the world, and even cut off all connections with the outside world.

Because he killed Master Chun Yuan, and before Master Chun Yuan died, he learned a very interesting secret from Master Chun Yuan.

This is also the reason why he wants to capture the leader of the Shenfu Sect alive.

Sometimes, having a treasure in your possession can make people hate you more than killing your parents.
