Sword from the Immortal Mountain

Chapter 99 Chapter 99: Cutting down mountains and destroying temples

Chen Jin drew his sword, catching the enemy by surprise.

Not only did he catch Master Chishen off guard, but even Ye Yanke who was behind him was caught off guard.

On the way to Chishen Mountain, Chen Jin didn't say much. He appeared calm and composed, and read a book in his hands from time to time.

He looks like a handsome scholar.

The impression of scholars is always associated with words such as "gentleman", "rules", and "etiquette".

But now, Chen Jin's sudden move has shattered those old-fashioned impressions.

Ye Yanke suddenly thought that Chen Jin had made up his mind to "cut down the mountain and destroy the temple" from the very beginning when he rushed to Chishen Mountain.

Also.

The conflict between the two sides has reached this point. Is there any room for improvement?

Even if Master Chishen swallowed his anger, it would only last for a while. Once he found an opportunity, he would pounce like a lurking poisonous snake and bite them to death.

In this case, it is better to strike first and avoid future troubles.

The scholar acted decisively and his swordsmanship was stealthy and swift, which was quite amazing.

Ye Yanke didn’t even see clearly the sword strike just now. Master Chishen had been stabbed by the sword and fell backwards.

But he is the head of a sect after all, and has been immersed in the art of taming spirits for many years, so he will not die so easily.

He stumbled and roared angrily. The remaining disciples rushed over recklessly, trying to stop Chen Jin.

After Ye Yanke reacted, he immediately stepped forward with his sword and shared the burden with Chen Jin.

A disciple from the Red Eyebrow Sect came over secretly, untied Liu Wan, and handed her a long knife: "Third Senior Sister, let's go help Master."

"it is good."

Liu Wan took the knife in her hand, stabbed her fellow apprentice brother in the heart with a backhand blow.

When she saw Chen Jin draw his sword and her master being stabbed, she knew that the Red Eyebrow Sect was finished.

Liu Wan was unwilling to stay on a sinking ship and wanted to jump out. She had to break off with the past and pledge her allegiance.

Over there, Chen Jinren followed the sword, which was the sword escape technique he had just realized.

Master Chishen was filled with hatred. If he had known that the other party did not follow the rules, why would he have pretended to be so sincere? If he had just taken action directly, he would not have been so embarrassed.

Suddenly, he felt a chilling feeling. Looking back, he saw a dazzling sword light.

That was the last light he could see...

Chen Jin beheaded him with one sword, and the outcome was decided.

Ye Yanke and Liu Wan took care of the others.

Liu Wan threw away the long knife, knelt on the ground, and looked like she was waiting for Chen Jin to decide for her.

Chen Jin glanced at her and said, "Now that your master is dead and your sect is destroyed, do you feel resentment in your heart?"

Liu Wan said sternly: "I dare not hate, nor should I hate."

"What do you mean by 'shouldn't'?"

"When we joined the Red Eyebrow Sect, spirit seeds were planted in our bodies. They would flare up twice a year, and once they did, we would be in excruciating pain. We needed to take spirit medicine to suppress it. In fact, except for the eldest brother, the other disciples did not receive the true teachings. To some extent, we are just the food for the snake spirits."

Chen Jin nodded slightly: "You can see clearly... Where is the snake spirit? Why doesn't it show up?"

Liu Wan quickly explained, "Normally, only Master... Master Chishen can communicate with the snake spirit and establish a connection, but a blood sacrifice ceremony is required. He was killed by the young master, so naturally there is no chance for him to invite the snake spirit to descend."

Hearing this, Chen Jin couldn't help but think of Zhan Chun, the leader of the Ghost Spirit Cult's branch temple. Before his death, he called for the "ghost spirit" to come. At that time, there was some commotion, but it quickly subsided.

I wonder if it’s because of the conditions that prevent the ghosts from coming?
Or maybe there are other reasons.

In essence, the "spirits" worshipped by these left-wing cults are not exactly the same as the "ghosts and gods" of the Five Internal Organs Cult. Instead, they are alternative existences and are undoubted evil heretics.

We don’t know where their true bodies exist.

In today's world, the orthodoxy of the three religions has run into problems, and they have all declined, broken down, and become weak. Then all kinds of monsters and demons have risen up, treating sentient beings as food, competing for incense and sacrifices, and using every possible means.

Obviously, as a branch of the spirit-raising lineage, the strength of the Red Eyebrow Sect is not that good, and is inferior to the Yunshan Temple. It mainly relies on the poisonous snakes it raises and evil techniques to show off its power.

In the past, blood sacrifices had been held, and many lives had been lost, but nothing had ever happened.

Unexpectedly, this attracted an evil star and he was wiped out.

Although Master Chishen and others were eliminated, there were still countless poisonous snakes on the mountain. After they were out of control, they wandered outside and would sooner or later cause trouble.

Ye Yanke immediately proposed to burn down Chishen Mountain.

Anyway, there is no human habitation within a few miles, so there is no need to worry about wildfires hurting people.

This is a good way to deal with it.

However, before burning the mountain, there is still confiscation and post-processing work to be done.

After all, in the Red Eyebrow Sect, in addition to Master Chishen and a group of disciples, there are also some servants such as slaves and cooks.

Most of these people were forced to go up the mountain to provide services.

Liu Wan came forward at the moment. She knew how to do things and took out a portion of the confiscated money as severance pay to compensate the servants.

During this period, Chen Jin went to see the snake spirit statue specially. He saw that it was a statue with a human face and a snake body. Its facial features were soft and beautiful, and it was obviously a female.

Some divine aura had already been nurtured on the statue, but it had not yet condensed into a shape and appeared scattered.

Chen Jin held the grass sword and broke it with one sword.

Then he vaguely heard a strange roar, which was full of anger.

For any Shinto sect, felling mountains and destroying temples are feuds that will never end.

Although this temple on Chishen Mountain is just a branch altar of this snake spirit.

According to Liu Wan, any mountain gate that worships snake spirits is called "Chishen Mountain".

However, Chen Jin didn't care about that. He had his own principles when doing things: if you don't do something, you should do it from beginning to end.

After finishing the work, Ye Yangke started a fire and then went down the mountain carrying two large packages.

When we got to the foot of the mountain, we put our things into the car.

Ye Yanke said he didn't want any of the trophies and property, and wanted to give them to Chen Jin.

Then he and Liu Wan set fire at the foot of the mountain.

Burning both the top and the bottom will burn it thoroughly. Even if there are some poisonous snakes that escape, they are few in number and will not cause any trouble.

Looking at the Chishen Mountain that had become a sea of fire, a complex emotion flashed across Liu Wan's face. Then she turned around decisively, carrying a small package and preparing to leave.

Ye Yanke caught up with her and stuffed the reins of the chestnut horse into her hands: "This is your horse, I'm returning it to you."

Liu Wan was stunned for a moment, then took it, jumped on the horse, bowed to Chen Jin and Ye Yanke, and rode away with the whip.

Chen Jin joked, "Master Ye, I thought you two would team up and go out to explore the world together?"

Ye Yanke said sternly, "Don't mention the name 'knight'. You can call me 'Xiao Ye' from now on. Scholar, I am willing to be a coachman when I go to the prefecture."

He volunteered not only to be a coachman, but also wanted to take the opportunity to learn sword from Chen Jin.

The swordsmanship that Chen Jin used to kill Master Chi Shen was extraordinary and definitely not an ordinary martial art. It was exactly the extraordinary swordsmanship that Master Ye Yanke had longed to learn during his lifetime.

Now that such an opportunity has arisen, Ye Yanke is unwilling to miss it.

Chen Jin had no objection to this. He had never been a self-righteous person, and certainly not someone who liked to teach others.

As long as you have the right people and do what you want, it will be a pleasure.

Besides, "Sword Manual on the Mountain" is not yet completed and needs new feelings and insights.
