Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 124 Abandoning the Village and Warning

There are dozens of disciples in the Demon Sect. If they flee separately, it will be difficult to chase them.

However, they recklessly rushed into the heart of Jianglong Villa and were ambushed by the swarm of bees and snakes raised by Huang Sixi. After being poisoned, they moved slowly and their ability to break out was greatly reduced.

Huang Sixi ordered everyone in the villa to pursue and intercept the demon sect disciples, and most of them died in the mountains.

Even if some of the disciples managed to escape and flee down the mountain, they were caught by the evil figures who had been lying in ambush for a long time. In the end, none of them escaped.

The leader of the Qinglong Hall, Jia Bu, was first trapped by a swarm of bees, and then was besieged by Huang Boliu, Sima Da, the old man, Zu Qianqiu and Ji Wushi, and was killed on the spot.

Shangguan Yun, the leader of the White Tiger Hall, was attacked by a poisonous snake released by Lan Fenghuang. Qu Yang took the opportunity to attack and injured Shangguan Yun.

Lan Fenghuang originally didn't want to leave any person alive, but Huang Sixi had just instructed her to capture a person alive and torture him to interrogate the situation at Heimu Cliff. So she asked Qu Yang to arrest Shangguan Yun and go to the top of the mountain to meet Huang Sixi.

During the entire battle, Huang Sixi never took action.

When Lan Fenghuang and Qu Yang brought Shangguan Yun back, the operation to wipe out the disciples of the Demon Sect came to an end.

Huang Sixi asked Shangguan Yun: "Why did Dongfang Bubai leave Black Wood Cliff? Was it really to hunt down Ren Woxing?"

Shangguan Yun's acupuncture points had been pressed and he could not move. He knew that he was like a fish on the chopping block, so he replied: "If I don't tell you, you will kill me. If I tell you, you still want to kill me, so why should I say anything!"

Judging from what he said, he naturally hoped that Huang Sixi would give him a guarantee. If he revealed the situation of Dongfang Bubai, Huang Sixi would be willing to spare his life, and only then would he cooperate obediently.

Huang Sixi did not express his opinion.

Lan Fenghuang smiled coldly and said, "The snake venom you were bitten by just now is quite special. It can trigger the Three Corpse Brain Pills in your body. You must take my antidote to ensure that the snake venom will not wake up the corpse worms! So whatever the young master asks you, you'd better answer honestly, otherwise you will have to wait for the corpse worms to wake up and gnaw on your brain!"

She was just bluffing.

Her snake venom has nothing to do with the Three Corpses Brain Pill.

However, Jianglong Villa specializes in researching methods to restrain the Three Corpses' Brain Pill. If it is said that Lan Fenghuang has mastered snake venom that can stimulate corpse worms, then it is absolutely possible.

Moreover, Shangguan Yun was extremely afraid of corpse worms. After being frightened by Lan Fenghuang, he immediately answered without hesitation: "The Eastern Sect Leader came down the mountain to hunt down Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying. This is absolutely true and there is absolutely no falsehood!"

Huang Sixi asked again: "How did Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying offend Dongfang Bubai and make him break the rule of not leaving Black Wood Cliff for several years?"

Shangguan Yun replied, "Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying conspired to murder Yang Lianting, the chief steward! In recent years, Yang has been the confidant and beloved general of the Eastern Sect Leader. All matters of the sect are handled by Yang. With Yang's death, the Eastern Sect Leader felt like he had lost his brother. He left the cliff in anger and said that he would never return to Blackwood Cliff until Ren Woxing and the other two were skinned alive!"

Dongfang Bubai castrated himself to practice the "Sunflower Manual" and became a eunuch. He gradually took on the appearance of a woman and took Yang Lianting as his male lover.

Yang Lianting had little martial arts skills and no foundation, and had made no contribution to the Sun Moon Sect. However, he was promoted to a high position by Dongfang Bubai, with a status above the ten elders. Needless to say, the reason was nepotism.

Dongfang Bubai loved Yang Lianting terribly. She must have been furious when she learned of Yang Lianting's death. Shangguan Yun said that Dongfang Bubai felt "like losing her brother", but in fact it was "like losing her husband".

If Yang Lianting really died at the hands of Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying, it would not be abnormal for Dongfang Bubai to go down the cliff to chase and kill the three of them.

In the original novel, after Linghu Chong escaped from Plum Villa in West Lake, he was invited by Ren Yingying to accompany Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian to Black Wood Cliff. The four masters joined forces to challenge Dongfang Bubai and directly killed Dongfang Bubai and Yang Lianting in the Embroidery Pavilion.

Now Yang Lianting died first, but Dongfang Bubai is still alive, and went down the Black Wood Cliff alone to hunt down Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying. This must have a lot to do with the capture of Linghu Chong.

Qu Yang looked puzzled, and said, "Master Ren and Right Envoy Xiang were both staying at West Lake in Hangzhou. Saint Lady originally lived in Luoyang and had just gone to Jiangnan not long ago. She should not have met Master Ren and Right Envoy Xiang yet. How could the three of them suddenly kill Chief Steward Yang?"

Shangguan Yun heard Qu Yang call himself "Master Ren" and "Right Envoy Xiang", and was obviously also a member of the Divine Religion. However, Qu Yang looked unfamiliar, so Shangguan Yun secretly guessed that Qu Yang might be a close confidant of Ren Woxing when he was the Master.

Shangguan Yun thought again, it was rumored that Jianglong Villa was established with the support of the Saint Aunt, so the owner of the villa must be the Saint Aunt's man. It would be better to surrender to Ren Woxing now. No matter whether Ren Woxing can regain the position of leader in the future, at least his life can be saved.

Shangguan Yun showed signs of surrender and his words became more enthusiastic.

He first asked Qu Yang: "Excuse me, old man, when was the last time you met with Master Ren and Right Envoy Xiang?"

Qu Yang was old and his memory was not very good. While he was still calculating silently, he heard Qu Feiyan reply: "In two days, it will be half a month!"

When Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian rescued Linghu Chong in Meizhuang, Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan were ordered to rush to Luoyang to inform Ren Yingying, but they did not find her. The grandfather and grandson thought that Ren Yingying was out temporarily, so they stayed in Luoyang for a few days and inquired about Ren Yingying's whereabouts until they found Jianglong Villa.

Almost half a month had passed since they left Hangzhou.

Shangguan Yun said, "About half a month ago, the four friends of Meizhuang, accompanied by Elder Bao, Elder Qin, Elder Wang and Elder Sang, escorted Huashan Sect disciple Linghu Chong from Hangzhou and returned to Black Wood Cliff to report. Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian followed them all the way, trying to rescue Linghu Chong, but they never succeeded!"

Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan immediately looked at each other, thinking that if Linghu Chong was taken to Black Wood Cliff, it would be extremely difficult to rescue him in the future.

Qu Yang frowned and said, "The four friends of Meizhuang lost their leader Ren, and committed a serious crime against the Divine Religion. How dare they go to Blackwood Cliff?"

Shangguan Yun smiled bitterly: "The Four Friends of Plum Manor have no other choice. They will be convicted no matter what. If Linghu Chong is taken to the main altar, the punishment can be reduced to some extent!"

The Four Friends of Meizhuang captured Linghu Chong as a hostage, which actually turned into a hot potato. First of all, they could not kill Linghu Chong, otherwise they would definitely be retaliated by Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian. Once Linghu Chong died, they would have no chance of survival.

At the same time, the Four Friends of Meizhuang cannot release Linghu Chong, because releasing him means surrendering to Ren Woxing, but Ren Woxing has been imprisoned by them for twelve whole years, and this is a deep hatred. How could Ren Woxing easily forgive them?
Although Ren Woxing kept saying that as long as they released Linghu Chong, he would forgive all the past, they did not dare to take the risk, so they held on to Linghu Chong as a hostage and resolutely confronted Ren Woxing.

They also knew that Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian were very skilled in martial arts. If they continued to stay in Meizhuang, the hostages would be rescued sooner or later. In order to prevent any more trouble, they took the hostages away from Meizhuang and planned to take them to Heimu Cliff for custody. Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan had just left Hangzhou when the four friends of Meizhuang also set out north with Linghu Chong. Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian had no choice but to follow them along the way.

Halfway through the journey, Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian met Ren Yingying. Relying on her understanding of the internal situation of the Sun Moon Sect, Ren Yingying gave Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian an idea.

However, Shangguan Yun revealed: "When the two groups of people arrived at Pingding Prefecture in Hebei and were about to reach the main altar, they happened to catch Yang Zongguan returning to the cliff. Saint Lady found out the route Yang Zongguan had to take in advance, so she captured Yang Zongguan, and then stopped the Four Friends of Plum Manor to exchange Linghu Chong with them!"

When Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan heard this, their faces relaxed at the same time. They thought that as long as they captured Yang Lianting, the Four Friends of Mei Zhuang would surely surrender, and Linghu Chong could definitely be rescued.

Huang Sixi also felt that Linghu Chong had escaped, but killing Yang Lianting would also have serious consequences.

Qu Feiyan urged: "Tell me quickly, what was the result of the exchange?"

Shangguan Yunshen sighed, "Originally, both parties had agreed to let Yang Zongguan and Linghu Chong exchange safely, and then everyone would go their separate ways! Who knew that during the exchange, six brain-sick weirdos suddenly came and tried to kidnap Linghu Chong. The four friends of Plum Manor thought that these six people were ambushes sent by Master Ren, and Master Ren thought that these six people were ambushes sent by the four friends of Plum Manor, so the two sides started fighting!"

The hostage exchange that had been agreed upon was ultimately ruined by these six weirdos.

"and after?"

Huang Sixi has already guessed the identities of these six people. They are most likely the Six Immortals of Taogu. Only these six guys with a screw loose in their brains would dare to rashly interfere in the transaction between Ren Woxing and the Demon Cult.

Shangguan Yun saw that everyone followed Huang Sixi's lead, so he immediately changed his tone to respectful and said to Huang Sixi, "During the fight between the two sides, Yang Zongguan was accidentally killed. The four friends of Meizhuang and several elders were worried that they would not be able to report back to Black Wood Cliff, so they surrendered to Ren Woxing. Linghu Chong was naturally rescued by them."

Huang Sixi immediately asked, "Since the Four Friends of Plum Manor have surrendered, how did the news of Yang Lianting's death reach Dongfang Bubai's ears?"

Shangguan Yun said, "My lord, Manager Yang is the confidant of the Eastern Sect Leader. After he was captured alive by the Saint Lady, the leader of the Wind and Thunder Hall of the sect, Tong Baixiong, received the news and immediately led people to rescue him. Unfortunately, he was a step too late. At that time, the Sect Leader Ren tried to persuade the leader Tong to surrender, but the leader Tong was loyal to the Eastern Sect Leader and was unmoved. So he snatched Manager Yang's body and returned to Blackwood Cliff, asking the Eastern Sect Leader to deal with it personally!"

Tong Baixiong is the most senior of the ten elders of the Demon Cult. He is already in his seventies or eighties. He was the most resolute supporter of Dongfang Bubai to succeed the position of the leader. He is an absolute die-hard fan of Dongfang Bubai. No matter how Ren Woxing threatened or lured him, he could not win over Tong Baixiong.

Although Tong Baixiong's martial arts were not as good as Ren Woxing's, the elite Fenglei Hall troops he led were numerous and powerful. At that time, Ren Woxing was short of troops and had no ability to kill Tong Baixiong and all the people in Fenglei Hall.

Considering that the news of Yang Lianting's death could not be concealed, Ren Woxing allowed Tong Baixiong to take Yang Lianting's body away.

Since Dongfang Bubai was practicing the "Sunflower Manual" in secret, no one in the sect knew that Dongfang Bubai had become a eunuch, and they were even less clear about the true relationship between Dongfang Bubai and Yang Lianting.

Tong Baixiong took advantage of his seniority and thought that he had a deep friendship with Dongfang Bubai and would not be affected by Yang Lianting's death.

Unexpectedly, after seeing the corpse of his male favorite, Dongfang Bubai went berserk on the spot and killed Tong Baixiong and others from Fengleitang who were carrying the corpse, in order to commemorate Yang Lianting.

After burying Yang Lianting, Dongfang Bubai transformed into a resentful woman, rushed out of the Black Wood Cliff, and personally hunted down Ren Woxing and others.

Dongfang Bubai was worried that Ren Woxing would gather his old subordinates. Once Ren Woxing was surrounded by a large number of people to protect him, it would be very difficult to kill him. So he sent disciples from various halls of the Demon Cult to various places to capture and kill the martial artists who were friendly with Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying.

It was under such circumstances that Jia Bu and Shangguan Yun were ordered to capture Huang Sixi.

Everyone listened to Shangguan Yun's explanation of the whole story.

Lan Fenghuang immediately warned, "Master, if Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian cannot stop Dongfang Bubai even if they join forces, the Saint Lady will probably take them to Jianglong Villa for refuge!"

Looking at the entire martial arts world, the only one who has the ability and willingness to help Ren Woxing and Ren Yingying resist Dongfang Bubai's masters is Huang Sixi.

Huang Sixi, without hesitation, ordered Lan Fenghuang, the old man, Zu Qianqiu and Ji Wushi: "Pack your bags immediately and head to the Yellow River ferry. Take a boat to cruise on the river for a few days. When I send you a message, you will return to the villa!"

Lan Fenghuang and the others thought that Huang Sixi would not let them take risks, so they all said, "Master, we will live and die with you! If Dongfang Bubai dares to come, we will fight him to the death!"

Huang Sixi said: "Why fight for my life! I will leave the village soon and will not fight with Dongfang Bubai!"

"what!"

Lan Fenghuang and the others were a little stunned: "Sir, don't you plan to wait for Saint Aunt?"

Huang Sixi looked at them and said, "This is a fight for the throne within the Sun Moon Sect. It has nothing to do with me, so I won't intervene. If any of you want to intervene, you can stay here."

Lan Fenghuang and the others hoped that Huang Sixi would not care, because no matter how Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing fought, in the end one of them would take control of the Sun Moon Sect and would still force them to take the Three Corpses Brain Pill.

They wished that Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing would both be defeated and die.

These sect leaders are all vicious and use the Three Corpses Brain Pill to enslave their fellow believers. Unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not fight for them.

Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan felt uncomfortable after hearing Huang Sixi's statement. They had placed their bets on Ren Woxing and Ren Yingying, and they certainly did not want Ren Woxing to lose the fight for the position.

The grandfather and grandson very much hoped that Huang Sixi could lend a helping hand to Ren Woxing.

But Huang Sixi made the decision to abandon the game so decisively, probably not because he was afraid of Dongfang Bubai.

After all, with Huang Sixi's martial arts skills, if he joins forces with Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian, even if he cannot defeat Dongfang Bubai, he will not lose, and protecting himself will definitely not be a problem.

Huang Sixi was probably unwilling to interfere in the affairs of the Sun and Moon Sect because of his prejudice against good and evil. After all, Huang Sixi was not a member of the Sect and he had close contacts with the righteous side in the past.

However, the grandfather and grandson thought again, the Saint Aunt hadn't come for help yet, but Huang Sixi left first. This was too much of a disregard for the Saint Aunt. If the Saint Aunt really had no way out in the future and led Master Ren and Xiang Youshi to Jianglong Villa, how sad would she be when she saw such a situation?
