Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 130 Evacuation
Master Fang Zheng has stated that he will resolutely protect the lives of Qingcheng Sect disciples.

But the leaders of other sects have different opinions.

The master of Tianmen Taoist of Taishan Sect was killed by a female elder of the Demon Sect. He hated the Demon Sect to the core, so he hoped that all the righteous sects would seize the opportunity, rush down the mountain and fight a decisive battle with the Demon Sect.

However, Shaolin Temple is the leader of the righteous path, and Master Fangzheng is the best master of the righteous path. If Master Fangzheng is unwilling to fight against the Demon Cult, even if the other sects unite, they will have no chance of winning against the Demon Cult.

Taoist Tianmen did not dare to act alone, and he tried his best to persuade Master Fangzheng: "Just now, Junior Brother Huang fought with Dongfang Bubai and was obviously not at a disadvantage. If Master Fangzheng came down the mountain to help, and joined forces with Junior Brother Huang and Taoist Chongxu, it should not be difficult to kill Dongfang Bubai!"

He originally wanted to include Linghu Chong in the calculations. A few days ago, Dongfang Bubai invaded Shaolin, and it was thanks to the joint efforts of Master Fangzheng and Linghu Chong that Dongfang Bubai was repelled.

If Linghu Chong, Master Fangzheng, Huang Sixi and Master Chongxu join forces, they can almost certainly kill Dongfang Bubai. No matter how high Dongfang Bubai's Qinggong is, he will definitely not be able to escape today.

However, Linghu Chong was the one who instigated this great war between good and evil, so the Tianmen Taoist priests hated him and deliberately did not mention Linghu Chong's role.

He continued, "As long as Dongfang Bubai dies, the remaining members of the Demon Cult can be annihilated. Does Master Fang Zheng really want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy the demons?"

The heroes of the Five Mountains Sword Sect and other sects nearby all agreed with what Taoist Tianmen said. They all felt that they should go down the mountain and fight against the Demon Sect.

Yue Buqun also followed the trend.

Seeing that Master Fangzheng was still hesitating, he began to persuade him, "Although rushing down the mountain may cause the deaths of fellow Qingcheng Sect members, but if dozens of them die, it can bring about the destruction of the Demon Sect and ensure the peace of our chivalrous martial arts world for hundreds of years. What's wrong with that?"

Master Fang Zheng sighed, "I understand what Master Yue said, but the Qingcheng Sect came here to rescue Shaolin after all. If we ignore their lives and force the Demon Sect to behead them, it will be no different from Shaolin killing them with our own hands. I can't do that!"

After hearing this, Yue Buqun thought to himself, are you, an old monk, planning to disregard the safety of our righteous path just to preserve your reputation for benevolence?

He immediately reminded him, "Master, who among you is not here to rescue Shaolin? Right now, Master Huang and Taoist Chongxu are isolated. If we stand by and watch, Master Huang and Taoist Chongxu will be captured by Dongfang Bubai. We will be isolated and helpless, and may be wiped out by Dongfang Bubai. You pity the Qingcheng Sect disciples, but can't you pity the other fellows?"

After hearing this, the heroes all agreed.

Mr. Mo Da said: "Senior Brother Yue is right. The death of dozens of people from Qingcheng Sect can bring safety to hundreds of people in our Orthodox Sect. It is worth it!"

The leader of Songshan Sect, Le Hou, said, "Qingcheng Sect is not a good group. Their master and disciples wiped out the entire Fuwei Escort Agency. They are not worthy of the reputation of our chivalrous sect. To be frank, even if they are beheaded, they deserve to die!"

Everyone in the martial arts world knows about the tragic incident in which the Qingcheng Sect wiped out the Fuwei Escort Agency, but as long as the righteous sects do not collectively investigate, the Qingcheng Sect will be able to get away with it and continue to regard itself as a famous righteous sect.

However, the remarks accusing the Qingcheng Sect, coming from the Songshan Sect, made all the heroes present feel strange.

If we really compare the brutality of killing innocent people, the Songshan Sect and the Qingcheng Sect are actually the same.

Master Fang Zheng heard that his fellow sects had reached a consensus, but he remained unmoved: "My fellow donors, I am unwilling to go down the mountain to fight, not just for the Qingcheng Sect. When you received the Shaolin's request for help, you immediately came to help from afar. I am grateful to you, so how can I bear to watch you and the Demon Sect fight to a loss?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the crowd at the foot of the mountain and said, "The Demon Cult has nearly twice as many soldiers as our righteous sect. Once we rush down the mountain, I don't know how many disciples will die at the hands of the Demon Cult. Even if I join forces with Taoist Chongxu and Donor Huang to kill Dongfang Bubai, our righteous sects will also suffer heavy losses!"

Shaolin Temple is a thousand-year-old temple, and Master Fangzheng does not want a river of blood to flow in front of the gate.

Huashan Sect disciple Lin Pingzhi secretly hated Master Fangzheng for protecting Qingcheng Sect disciples. He suddenly shrank back in the crowd and snorted angrily, "We are here to slay demons and monsters, and we will die with no regrets. If you are afraid of death, then don't call yourself a righteous hero. You can just retire from the martial arts world!"

These words are extremely inspiring.

Especially for the young disciples of the Orthodox Church present, they were full of vigor and vitality, and were determined to be chivalrous and righteous. They followed Lin Pingzhi's shouting: "You are right, if you are afraid of death, don't be a hero! You Shaolin Temple dare not fight against the Demon Sect, but we are not afraid. No matter how many people the Demon Sect has or how high their martial arts are, we dare to fight to the death!"

But the shouting was quickly suppressed by the leaders of various sects.

Yue Buqun turned around and scolded Lin Pingzhi, but Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan smiled at Lin Pingzhi approvingly, praising him for his courage and chivalry.

Master Fang Zheng's expression did not change at all despite being accused.

He chanted "Amitabha" and bowed to the crowd, "This time, Dongfang Bubai came here to hunt down the former leader of the Demon Cult, Ren Woxing! Right now, Ren Woxing is still hiding in the temple and never shows up. If we rush down the mountain to start a battle and both sides are defeated, and Ren Woxing suddenly shows up with another Demon Cult army, how should we resist?"

When the heroes heard this, their expressions became serious.

Although Dongfang Bubai claimed that he attacked Shaolin Temple in order to kill Ren Woxing, all is fair in war. If Dongfang Bubai secretly colluded with Ren Woxing and attacked the righteous sects from both sides, they might be completely destroyed.

Even if what Dongfang Bubai said was true and he really broke up with Ren Woxing, Ren Woxing would most likely wait for the righteous sects to fight Dongfang Bubai and then reap the benefits.

All the heroes thought that Master Fang Zheng had indeed considered everything carefully, and that the righteous sects should not have rashly left the mountain before catching Ren Woxing.

But if the righteous path remains inactive, what should Huang Sixi and Taoist Chongxu do?
Sect Leader Ding Xian was concerned about Master Ding Yi who was down the mountain, so he asked Master Fang Zheng, "Master, you don't want to go down the mountain. Are you counting on Master Huang and Taoist Chongxu to destroy Dongfang Bubai alone?"

"That's not the case! Although Donor Huang and Taoist Chongxu are capable of dealing with Dongfang Bubai, they don't need to fight with him!"

Master Fang Zheng replied, "Wait for the orthodox fellows who are still on the way to support to arrive, and have them join forces with Kunlun, Dian Cang, and Emei sects, and coordinate outside Shaoshi Mountain to form a two-pronged attack on the Demon Sect. By then, no matter what the Demon Sect plots, our orthodox situation will be as stable as a mountain!"

"That's okay!"

After listening to Master Fangzheng's plan, the leaders of various sects nodded.

With Huang Sixi and Taoist Chongxu being held outside Shaoshi Mountain, Dongfang Bubai will be unable to surround and attack the reinforcements, and will not be able to capture any righteous hostages in the future. At the same time, Dongfang Bubai does not dare to attack Shaolin Temple rashly, otherwise his retreat will be cut off.

Sect Leader Ding Xian also felt that there was nothing wrong with Master Fang Zheng's arrangement.

She said: "In this case, we should immediately notify Junior Brother Huang and Taoist Chongxu, and ask them to stay away from Shaoshi Mountain temporarily and not fight with Dongfang Bubai again!"

"Let me do the notification!"

Master Fang Zheng not only practiced the Shaolin "Yi Jin Jing" to perfection, but also mastered the Shaolin supreme internal power "Vajra Zen Lion's Roar", and his understanding of the method of sound transmission has reached perfection.

Once he spoke, his voice could be heard clearly for miles around.

But his roar spread out and fell into the ears of more than a thousand people on the mountain and below, sounding like chanting sutras and reciting Buddhist scriptures, but there were two thin lines of sound mixed in it and reached the ears of Huang Sixi and Taoist Chongxu.

When he stopped shouting, everyone thought he was chanting Buddhist teachings, but Huang Sixi and Taoist Chongxu got his private message and heard something different. This method is similar to the secret transmission of sound, but it has the same purpose.

Taoist Chongxu walked over to Huang Sixi and asked with a smile, "Brother Huang, you should have heard Master Fangzheng's message. He asked us to evacuate temporarily. What do you think?"

Huang Sixi said: "He should come down the mountain and join hands with us to kill Dongfang Bubai. If we delay any further, we will only have troubles."

Taoist Chongxu sighed softly, "Dongfang Bubai has already tested your martial arts skills. As long as Master Fangzheng comes down the mountain, Dongfang Bubai will definitely order a retreat. His martial arts skills are so high that it is not easy to surround and kill him. The key is that Ren Woxing is hiding in the dark. Once we fight Dongfang Bubai, Ren Woxing will most likely launch a sneak attack on us!"

Huang Sixi understood that the hatred between Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing was irreconcilable.

But Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu do not know the inside story, and they need to guard against the possibility of Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing joining forces.

Taoist Chongxu said, "Let's go and wait for fellow Taoists from Kunlun, Emei and other sects. Once we have invited all the righteous masters in the world, even if Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing join forces, we will be able to win."

Without waiting for Huang Sixi to reply.

Dongfang Bubai suddenly shouted, "At your age, it is really rare for you to have reached the current level of martial arts. I'm afraid you'll rarely see one like this in three to five hundred years!"

"Thanks for the praise from the Eastern Patriarch."

Huang Sixi replied: "But if you came here to praise people, there is no need to bring so many believers!"

Dongfang Bubai smiled lightly: "Okay! Since you say so, I will give you a favor and withdraw the people from the Divine Religion!"

He obviously felt tremendous pressure.

Even though he was the best fighter in the world, he was unable to stop the combined forces of Huang Sixi, Master Fangzheng, and Taoist Chongxu.

Besides, he had just been hit by Huang Sixi's 'Dragon Fighting in the Wild'. Although the injury was not serious, it weakened his fighting ability. Once Master Fang Zheng came down the mountain to besiege him, he would have almost no chance of winning. It would not be wise to stay.

After he finished speaking, he raised his arm and waved it backwards. The more than a thousand members of the Demon Cult present immediately turned around and retreated.

These believers deliberately avoided the direction where Huang Sixi was standing, and also avoided the place where Master Dingyi and the other two were standing on horseback. Instead, they evacuated into the woods at the foot of the mountain to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

Only dozens of swordsmen and axemen were still guarding the Qingcheng Sect disciples.

Dongfang Bubai had already intended to leave, and when he heard Huang Sixi's reply, he took the opportunity to back off.

Huang Sixi pursed his lips, thinking that this leader was really shameless. He had been making arrogant remarks earlier, saying that he would kill anyone who dared to stop him from attacking Shaolin Temple today. Yet, he changed his mind in the blink of an eye, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Dongfang Bubai pointed at Yu Canghai and said to Huang Sixi, "I have no intention of arresting you righteous people, but as a famous righteous sect, you interfere in the internal affairs of the Divine Sect for no reason. It is really unreasonable! I remember you always said that good and evil cannot coexist. Since you look down on the evil sect so much, why do you protect the evil sect leader Ren Woxing?"

Huang Sixi shook his head: "The righteous will not protect Ren Woxing, there must be a misunderstanding! Leader, you can choose to talk or not, fight or not, it's all up to you, we will accompany you to the end!"

Dongfang Bubai said, "You are a straightforward person. Since you said you won't protect me, I will believe you this time. Shaolin Temple has a thousand-year reputation, so I believe it will not allow Ren Woxing to run rampant again. I will give you another favor and release all these Qingcheng Sect disciples."

After saying this, he waved his hand to signal the executioner to leave.

Then he swept his sleeves and pushed dozens of Qingcheng Sect disciples to the direction of Huang Sixi and Chongxu. He himself followed behind and slowly chased after the thousand or so followers.

When all the heroes present saw this scene, they were all confused about what Dongfang Bubai was up to. However, Dongfang Bubai dared to stay alone in the righteous territory, which showed his courage.

In fact, all the disciples of Qingcheng Sect have already taken the Three Corpses Brain Pill, so even if they are released, they will not fight against the Sun Moon Sect.

These righteous disciples are completely harmless, so there is no need for Dongfang Bubai to keep them around.

The reason why he did this was to make sure that the righteous sects were trying to gain fame and reputation and to prevent Huang Sixi and Master Fang Zheng from joining forces to attack.

After he evacuated the members of the Demon Sect, he also released the disciples of the Qingcheng Sect. The righteous people were proud of their status and had no intention of trapping Dongfang Bubai.

Taoist Chongxu no longer had the will to join forces, and Master Fangzheng, due to his reputation, would not attack Dongfang Bubai who was alone.

Anyone who wants to stop Dongfang Bubai today can only fight him in a one-on-one duel.

In fact, the only master who is qualified to compete with Dongfang Bubai is Huang Sixi. Master Fangzheng and Chongxu have both proved through actual combat that they are no match for Dongfang Bubai.

But it is hard to say whether Huang Sixi can defeat Dongfang Bubai, who is known for his extraordinary speed.

Earlier, he inherited the Zhenwu sword skills and hoped very much to learn Zhang Sanfeng's century-old internal strength, but unfortunately he failed to do so.

The mission to obtain the relics of famous figures on the Zhenwu Sword has already revealed that the sword contains the Wudang School's "Tai Chi Divine Skills", but it does not explicitly state that the martial arts came from Zhang Sanfeng himself.

However, after Huang Sixi received the martial arts initiation of the Zhenwu Sword, he realized that the internal strength in his dantian had increased significantly, and was already on par with the current Master Fang Zheng.

When this internal force was poured into Huang Sixi's body, he felt that his internal organs were nourished and his tendons, bones and skin were cleansed. This was obviously pure Taoist internal force.

Huang Sixi guessed that this internal force might have come from a senior leader of the Wudang Sect who had used the Zhenwu Sword. Even though this senior's internal force was not as good as Zhang Sanfeng's, it was enough for Huang Sixi's internal force to catch up with Master Fang Zheng.

Half a year ago at the Luoshui Conference, Huang Sixi had competed with Master Fangzheng in the ring. At that time, his internal strength was still far behind Master Fangzheng, but relying on the powerful palm power of the Dragon Subduing Palm, even if Master Fangzheng's "Yi Jin Jing" and "Thousand-Handed Tathagata Palm" were all perfected, it would be difficult to defeat him in palm techniques.

Now that Huang Sixi's internal strength has improved, the power of his Dragon Subduing Palm is also increasing. If he were to fight with Master Fang Zheng again, it would never be a draw like the one during the Luoshui Conference.

Moreover, during the past six months, Huang Sixi has been practicing the "Nine Yin Scriptures" in Jianglong Villa, and using the "Five Treasures Honey Wine" to assist in practicing the second level of internal strength. The Nine Yin Internal Strength in his body has become increasingly pure.

In terms of fighting endurance alone, he has left all the masters in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer far behind.

However, with his current level of martial arts, if he faces two top masters like Dongfang Bubai or Feng Qingyang, whether he can defeat them or not, he will have to fight to know.
