Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 132 Destruction of the Family
The secret passage of Damoyuan in Shaolin Temple leads directly to the foot of the back mountain.

The exit of the secret passage is located beside a river.

Master Fang Zheng was familiar with the route and led the righteous group of heroes to the stream. It turned out that the entrance to the cave at the foot of the mountain had been opened, as if someone had just entered and exited.

Seeing this, the heroes looked at each other in confusion, worried that Ren Woxing had already escaped.

"I'm afraid the demon Ren has already escaped!"

"This devil is very shrewd and knows that staying here will lead to bad consequences! He must have taken advantage of Dongfang Bubai's retreat to escape first!"

"Humph, he deliberately hid in Shaolin, obviously trying to divert trouble so that he can reap the benefits! Fortunately, we didn't start a war with Dongfang Bubai just now, otherwise he would have attacked us from behind!"

"Linghu Chong! You led Demon Lord Ren to Shaolin Temple. Have you already joined the Demon Cult and are you planning to join forces with Demon Lord Ren to deal with us?"

The heroes were filled with righteous indignation and soon turned their attention to Linghu Chong, calling for his death.

Just as they were about to start fighting, Master Fang Zheng suddenly protected Linghu Chong behind him and said, "Don't be impulsive, donors!"

The word "impulse" activated the "Vajra Zen Lion's Roar" internal energy, and a stream of internal energy gushed out, making a thunder-like buzzing sound, which entered the ears of hundreds of righteous heroes present. They were all shocked and froze in place for a moment, and then they all quieted down.

Linghu Chong, Yue Buqun, Taoist Chongxu, Mr. Mo Da and others who were closest to Master Fangzheng all felt dizzy and unwell all over. They were all shocked and terrified. Master Fangzheng's internal strength was so high that it was rarely seen in the world. He was worthy of being the strongest man in the righteous path.

The only person nearby who was not affected was Huang Sixi. He turned his head to look at the stream next to him, and saw that ripples were also forming.

He thought to himself, "Master Fang Zheng practices the orthodox Buddhism. No matter who he fights with, he always focuses on defense. Even if he has to attack, he won't use all his strength. If this master has murderous intentions in his heart, even if he can't defeat Dongfang Bubai, I'm afraid he can inflict heavy damage."

However, Master Fang Zheng has been cultivating his character all his life. No matter what happens, he probably won't lose control of his emotions and kill indiscriminately.

"Whether Ren Woxing has escaped or not, we need to check the secret passage to find out. Please be patient!" Master Fang Zheng tried his best to control the situation.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a fire suddenly lit up in the secret passage.

The group of heroes looked inside at the same time.

A moment later, a group of monks holding torches walked out of the cave.

The leading old monk was named "Fang Sheng", and he was originally a fellow disciple of Master Fang Zheng. He was also well-known in the martial arts world, and his martial arts skills had long been among the best.

But at this moment, Master Fang Sheng had a swollen face and nose, as if he had suffered an attack. The heroes immediately welcomed him to their side and asked him about his condition.

He said angrily, "I was ordered by the abbot to stay on the top of the mountain to guard the temple and monitor Linghu Chong's two friends, Yang Qu. When Dongfang Bubai evacuated Shaoshi Mountain earlier, Yang Qu and his friend suddenly ran to Damoyuan. I chased them all the way and found that Yang Qu and his friend opened a secret passage in Damoyuan!"

At this point, he glared at Linghu Chong and his tone turned accusatory:

"I entered the secret passage to track them and found another group of villains hiding in the secret passage. When they heard that Dongfang Bubai had retreated, they also fled down the mountain. I tried to intercept them, but I didn't expect them to be so cruel and ruthless that they directly killed Guo Liang, Guo Bo and four other nephews. After I was injured by them, I pursued them all the way until I got here. May I ask all the donors, have you seen that group of villains?"

Only then did the crowd notice that the dozen monks following Master Fang Zheng were carrying four corpses.

Master Fang Zheng went to check the bodies himself. Seeing that they were his nephews from the second generation, including Xin Guoliang and Huang Guobai, he chanted "Amitabha" and closed his eyes with sadness.

Master Fangsheng saw that the group of heroes remained silent, so he asked again: "Have you seen the gang of villains?"

The heroes replied, "Master, the villain you are talking about is the old devil Ren Woxing, right? When we arrived here, the entrance to the secret passage had already been opened, and Ren Woxing must have escaped far away!"

After the heroes finished speaking, they all glared at Linghu Chong.

Linghu Chong looked confused and at a loss.

Yue Buqun was worried that the heroes would transfer their anger to the Huashan Sect, so he suddenly stepped forward and slapped Linghu Chong hard: "There is no such a traitor as you in our Huashan Sect. From now on, you are no longer a disciple of the Huashan Sect, and I am no longer your master!"

Ning Zhongze looked extremely painful when she heard these words. She wanted to persuade Yue Buqun to take back his decision, but she was surrounded by cold and hostile eyes. If she protected Linghu Chong now, the entire Huashan Sect would become the target of public criticism.

After hesitating for a while, Ning Zhongze finally did not say anything, but acquiesced to the fact that Yue Buqun had expelled Linghu Chong.

The other disciples of Huashan Sect were as distraught as Linghu Chong and didn't know what to do.

Yu Canghai was forced to swallow the Three Corpses Brain Pill. He now has no interest in the battle between good and evil and only wants to find the antidote for the Three Corpses Brain Pill.

Seeing that Linghu Chong had been expelled from Huashan Sect, he drew out his sword with a loud "swish" and prepared to pierce Linghu Chong's collarbone with one sword, cripple Linghu Chong's martial arts and hold him hostage so that he could exchange the antidote with Ren Woxing and other members of the Demon Sect in the future.

He took advantage of Linghu Chong's distraction and stabbed with his sword, but the sword was several feet away from Linghu Chong. He heard a "ding" sound, and some hidden weapon hit the sword, breaking it into two pieces.

Yu Canghai couldn't help but frown: "Damn it, who dares to protect Linghu Chong, an undercover member of the Demon Sect?"

Turning his head, he saw that it was Huang Sixi who was performing a palm attack. He immediately put on a flattering smile and said, "Master Huang, if you think Linghu Chong can still be saved, then the Qingcheng Sect will definitely follow your lead and will never embarrass Linghu Chong in the future!"

Only then did Linghu Chong come to his senses and clasped his fists towards Huang Sixi: "Thank you, Brother Huang, for your care. But Linghu Chong knows that I have committed a grave sin. If I had not joined Shaolin, the battle between good and evil would not have occurred, and the four Shaolin masters would not have been killed. Linghu Chong will never shirk responsibility and is willing to die to atone for my sins. I will leave it to you righteous elders to deal with me!"

"If you want to die to atone for your sins, I won't stop you, but you have more important things to do now!"

Huang Sixi said, "Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian will kill innocent people indiscriminately, but Yi Lin will never do that. Not only that, she will even stop Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian from committing crimes! But there is no Yi Lin in the secret passage, which means that Yi Lin has been held hostage. Now only you can get close to Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian. Shouldn't you rescue Yi Lin?"

After he finished speaking, Master Fang Sheng immediately continued, "Earlier in the secret passage, when Junior Brothers Guo Liang and Guo Bai were killed, there was a little nun in the gang who tried to stop them. She looked like Junior Brother Yi Lin from the Hengshan Sect. But I was so angry at the time that I thought Junior Brother Yi Lin was one of the villains, so I didn't ask about her identity!"

Ding Yi hurriedly asked, "How is Yi Lin?"

Master Fang Sheng sighed, "When Junior Sister Yilin saw Junior Sisters Guoliang and Guobai being killed, she cried, 'The masters of Shaolin Temple are all virtuous monks, why do you want to kill them? Why don't you kill me too!' Then her acupuncture points were pressed. At this time, there were six strange men wrapped in bandages around her, fighting with the gang of villains together, but she was held hostage by the gang of villains. In order to save her life, the six strange men became the vanguard of the gang of villains and rushed down the foot of the mountain along the secret passage!"

When Ding Yi heard that Yi Lin had been taken hostage, he questioned Linghu Chong: "Didn't you say before that Ren Woxing would never harm Yi Lin?" Linghu Chong was speechless.

He was like a madman, shaking his head continuously, mumbling to himself: "Master Ren and Brother Xiang are both heroes of the time, they would not hold my savior hostage, they would not hold..."

Hero?

Huang Sixi thought to himself, in the original novel, Xiang Wentian killed three innocent passers-by and robbed their horses in order to lead Linghu Chong to escape. Is this a heroic act?

After Ren Woxing killed Dongfang Bubai, in order to unify the martial arts world, he vowed to kill everyone in the Hengshan Sect without leaving a single person alive, completely ignoring Linghu Chong's attempts to rescue him in the West Lake dungeon. Is this also a heroic act?

Xiang Wentian and Ren Woxing are both true villains who will do anything to achieve their goals.

Of course, the most amazing one is Linghu Chong.

In the original novel, Ren Woxing was preparing to lead the Demon Cult to destroy the Hengshan Sect. Linghu Chong, as the head of Hengshan, did not think about resisting the Demon Cult, but was only concerned about loyalty.

'But he was already quite reluctant to kill Ren Woxing, and he would rather die first if he had to kill Xiang Wentian! As for Yingying's life or death, he was not worried about it. After all, they were both in the same boat, so there was no need to worry too much! 'This is what Linghu Chong was thinking in the original novel. Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian were about to kill him on Hengshan Mountain, and Linghu Chong would rather die than resist, for fear of ruining his loyalty to Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian, and ruining his relationship with Ren Yingying.

If Ren Woxing had not died suddenly, the Hengshan Sect might have been completely slaughtered.

In Huang Sixi's opinion, Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian would not only kidnap Yi Lin, but they might also find Dongfang Bubai to temporarily resolve their feud with Dongfang Bubai and unite to strangle all the righteous sects.

If Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian really went to find Dongfang Bubai after leaving Shaoshi Mountain, and Dongfang Bubai was willing to work with Ren Woxing for a short period of time for the sake of the overall situation, then all the righteous sects would face a devastating disaster.

This time, there is a high possibility that a famous and righteous family in the martial arts world will be wiped out and killed.

Moreover, it was not just one or two sects that were destroyed.

As the leader of the righteous path, Master Fang Zheng keenly sensed that a huge crisis was brewing.

He looked around at the leaders of the various sects and said, "If Ren Woxing escapes, he will definitely be intercepted by Dongfang Bubai outside the mountain. If Dongfang Bubai kills Ren Woxing, it will be beneficial to us, the righteous path! But if Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing join hands, they will definitely attack Shaolin again. Please be prepared. Next, there may be a bloody battle between good and evil that will not be seen in a century!"

The leaders of the various sects looked solemn and asked Fang Zheng, "Will Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing really join forces?"

Fang Zheng sighed, "Perhaps Dongfang Bubai originally came to Shaolin to hunt down Ren Woxing. One of them is the current leader of the Demon Cult, and the other is the former leader of the Demon Cult. They are originally incompatible! But the situation is constantly evolving, and the ideas of Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing will also change accordingly!"

Although Dongfang Bubai hated Ren Woxing, the righteous path did not arrest Ren Woxing. Instead, it let him leave Shaolin Temple. This was clearly intended to cause Ren Woxing to fight with Dongfang Bubai. How could Dongfang Bubai let the righteous path get what they wanted?
Fang Zheng said this and glanced at Huang Sixi: "Donor Huang is a very skilled martial artist and can rival Dongfang Bubai. He will definitely make Dongfang Bubai feel threatened. In order to eliminate this threat, Dongfang Bubai may temporarily resolve the conflict with Ren Woxing. After eliminating Donor Huang and our righteous sects, they will compete again!"

When the righteous heroes heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.

Chongxu quickly warned, "If Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing really join forces, they will definitely blockade Shaoshi Mountain again and attack the reinforcements! We must immediately send a messenger to inform the Kunlun Sect, Emei Sect, Dian Cang Sect and other orthodox fellows not to rush to support Shaolin Temple rashly!"

If we are not careful this time, all the righteous sects may be destroyed.

The heroes looked at each other and wondered, "Who should we send as the messenger?"

If Mount Shaoshi had been blocked, with Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing personally guarding the periphery, they would not be able to get out even if the leaders of the various sects personally served as messengers.

Unless Huang Sixi or Master Fang Zheng goes down the mountain in person, it will be possible to break through the blockade.

However, if either Huang Sixi or Master Fangzheng leaves, the strength of the righteous forces in Shaoshi Mountain will be greatly reduced. Then Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing will not have to surround and attack the reinforcements. They can directly attack Shaoshi Mountain and destroy all the righteous forces.

After discussing for a while, the righteous sects finally reached a consensus. Shaolin Temple, Wudang Sect and Five Mountains Sword Sect each sent out a capable general to join forces to break out of Shaoshi Mountain.

As time was of the essence, after they reached an agreement, more than a dozen messengers set off immediately.

Who would have known that after just one hour, the fingers of these more than ten people were cut off and sent to the foot of Shaoshi Mountain.

The Shaolin Temple sent Master Fang Sheng, the Wudang Sect sent Taoist Master Qingxu, and the Five Mountains Sword Sect sent Taoist Master Tiansong and Nine-Curve Sword Master Zhong Zhen.

Originally, Hengshan Sanding was also going to send someone to accompany him, but was stopped by Huang Sixi. Fortunately, nothing happened.

The righteous sects looked at the dozen or so right-hand fingers lying on the ground, all of them looking terrified.

Just as the heroes were shouting for revenge, a group of Shaolin monks ran up to them in a panic and said in a trembling voice: "Abbot Fang... Abbot... No... Something bad has happened..."

Master Fang Zheng saw that the monks in the temple were so frightened and felt that something was wrong. He comforted them and asked, "Don't be nervous. Even if the sky falls, it's nothing. At most, you will go to paradise! What happened? Tell me slowly!"

The monks did not elaborate, but only said: "Please ask the abbot to go and see for yourself. There is a red circle drawn outside the mountain. It is made of human blood. There are corpses everywhere!"

Master Fang Zheng frowned slightly, then stepped out, followed closely by the other heroes.

After they passed through a forest, they saw a bloody line about a foot wide on the open plain.

This blood line just circled around Mount Shaoshi, and every hundred feet on the line there was a bloodless corpse.

Next to each corpse, six red characters were written in blood: "If you step one mile out of the circle, you will die!"

When the righteous heroes saw the blood circle and blood words, they were immediately filled with fear.

Dongfang Bubai, a master alone, would never dare to step out of this circle. He does not have the ability to annihilate the righteous heroes of Shaoshi Mountain.

But now that the blood circle has been formed, it means that the Demon Cult is confident that it can kill all the righteous heroes.

The leaders of all the sects were worriedly thinking: "Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing must have joined hands!"
