Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 129: Fun in the Chaos, Target: Ancient Tomb
The night is getting darker.

Chongyang Palace was completely dark, without even a light. Everyone else had been sent to the back mountain, leaving only Yang Guo and seven others inside.

At this moment, a black shadow jumped in from outside and walked silently into the depths.

After a while, another black shadow jumped over.

Two more.

Another one.

Seeing this, Yang Guo sneered in his heart: "I thought these were just two groups of people, but who would have thought that there are so many groups of people."

Just like when the Sun Moon Divine Sect and those other three religions and nine groups came together, it was said to be a large force of three thousand people, but in fact it could be divided into two thousand people of the Sun Moon Divine Sect and one thousand people of the other three religions and nine groups.

Among all those people from all walks of life, although seven innate people were elected as leaders, in fact, there were many different factions and there were hundreds of people.

This was naturally not what Yang Guo had imagined. They rushed in in groups of one or two, or at most three people. They arrived one after another, and there were four or five groups in total.

This is just now, and I don’t know how many people are behind us.

At this moment, another group of people came over. There were more than twenty of them. I think they were from the Sun and Moon Sect.

These people were all wearing dark night clothes, but they were not in uniform. Although they were all dressed in black, their heads and faces were covered, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, and they were not wearing any standard equipment.

In addition, they were the ones who launched the surprise attack, and their target was the Taoist priests in Chongyang Palace, so they did not assume that they could not distinguish their own people.

Perhaps in their opinion, this possibility does not exist at all.

Naturally, there was no way to distinguish them and they just went straight into Chongyang Palace.

Yang Guo said, “Sister Liu, your cultivation is extremely profound. Hurry over and kill one or two people quickly. Don’t linger in the fight. Turn around and run, leading them towards the people before.

Everyone else, wait until the chaos is over, then go out together and fish in troubled waters. However, you must pay attention to your own safety. If you can't fight, run away. If you can fight, run away too! "

"Ok!"

Liu Yuru nodded first and rushed out using light skills.

She was worthy of being the only grandmaster on the mountain. With her light Kung Fu, she passed by like a floating light and arrived next to the Sun and Moon Sect's troops. She landed directly in the middle of the entire team, stabbed one to death with one sword, and then killed another with the other sword. She turned around and ran away without wanting to fight.

When the people from the Sun and Moon Sect saw this, they gave chase without saying a word.

Although they come from the same school, their cultivation levels vary, their abilities are superior or inferior, and their speeds naturally vary.

As the chase progressed, the entire team became scattered and collided with all kinds of people. In the tension, they couldn't help but fight.

Upon seeing this, Yang Guo and the others mixed in directly, attacking left and right.

In this dark night, everyone was wearing night clothes and could not be clearly distinguished. Not to mention that they were different groups, even if they were all members of the Sun and Moon Sect, they could not tell who was their own people.

Not to mention that Yang Guo and others were causing trouble.

The whole scene was in extreme chaos for a while.

Suddenly someone said, "Stop fighting, I am..."

As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, Yang Guo reacted quickly, drew his sword and thrust it straight at him, interrupting him.

It was bad luck, because that person also used a sword. Yang Guo immediately used the Dugu Nine Swords to break his sword moves.

A flash of sword light passed by, and the man fell to the ground.

In the darkness, few people could see clearly what was happening. They only heard someone shouting, and then there was no sound the next moment, which made them even more nervous.

This kind of tension will naturally make people even less rational.

When Yang Guo and others attacked them at this time, even if they did not aim at their vital points, the others would naturally start fighting under the pressure.

Of course, there are also many people who have no intention of fighting. They dodge everywhere to avoid danger while also wanting to complete the task.

In an instant, the entire Chongyang Palace was in chaos!
Yang Guo watched in secret, laughing in his heart, but also feeling a little proud: He didn’t expect that the first time he planned such a plan would go so smoothly!

Luck plays a big part in this kind of plan, so even he couldn't be sure that it would succeed.

Therefore, before this, most of the people in Chongyang Palace had been transferred away, and it was confirmed that the remaining people were masters with extremely high martial arts skills and capable of escaping, so such a plan was made.

I just thought that even if I failed, no one would be affected.

I didn't expect the plan to be implemented so smoothly.

The smooth progress made him a little suspicious.

Yes, why is it so smooth——

Thousands of meters above the sky, a golden boat that seemed to be made of gold was floating, with wings woven of silver spread out and countless emerald gems inlaid on its surface.

“Hahaha…the fight has started…it’s really started!”

Gin stared down with shining eyes and said, "It's no wonder I stuffed a few people in there. They really started fighting!"

Dongfang Bubai stood aside and said, "Is it necessary to be so excited?"

"Hahaha, they're clearly on the same side, but because it's dark and everyone's wearing night clothes, they start killing each other. Don't you think this is funny?"

Well, I hope the organization can develop smoothly into this situation in the future, so that I can have fun watching it.

"You call this kind of thing interesting?"

Thinking that two of the people below were his own men, Dongfang Bubai's face turned grim: "Those two idiots!"

Jin Jiu said, "The fact that they're stupid is actually a good thing for us. If they weren't stupid, how could you have used this opportunity to get rid of Xiang Wentian and his subordinates?"

Dongfang Bubai said, "Xiang Wentian does have problems, but Shangguan Yun is very loyal."

"Yes, he is very loyal, but being loyal to the Sun Moon Divine Sect and being loyal to you are two different things! Don't forget how you got the position of Sect Leader? What did you do after becoming Sect Leader?"

Dongfang Bubai suddenly fell silent.

The reason she was able to become the leader was that she lured Ren Woxing out of seclusion and made him go astray, then she was able to capture him and successfully become the leader.

Like all those who usurped the throne, she initially claimed that her ascension to the throne was the orthodox way, and after stabilizing herself, she began to eliminate dissidents.

However, later on, she became obsessed with studying the Sunflower Manual and felt desperate about the current predicament of the Sun-Moon Sect, so she appointed Yang Lianting as the chief steward to take charge of the entire Sun-Moon Sect on her behalf.

This is obviously not a wise decision.

Yang Lianting has no strength at all. He is a lucky person. In order to maintain his status and show his power, he often acts recklessly.

Xiang Wentian is a loyal supporter of the previous leader and has never been convinced by Dongfang Bubai from the very beginning.

As Jinjiu said, Shangguan Yun is loyal, but his loyalty is to the Sun Moon Sect, not to any particular person.

In the original plot, after the former teacher Ren Woxing reappeared, he joined Ren Woxing.

It doesn’t matter what happened in the past.

But now Dongfang Bubai has joined the organization, and the Sun Moon Sect is a subordinate of the organization, so Jinjiu naturally has to help Dongfang Bubai screen the forces within the Sun Moon Sect.

"After this incident, the imperial court will definitely hold you accountable no matter what. When the time comes, you can simply put the blame on Yang Lianting and take the opportunity to deal with those who have disloyalty."

Jinjiu said, "Those remaining by then may still be insects, but they will at least be loyal insects... Oh, the Yuan people are here too. The timing is perfect!"

below.

Looking at the situation inside Chongyang Palace, Zhao Min immediately realized something was amiss. "Oh no! There are no Taoist priests in Chongyang Palace, but only men in black... trying to take advantage of the situation!"

Her clever little brain immediately figured out the reason.

This is what is called "those involved are confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see clearly."

Those who actually participated in it were unlikely to remain rational when it was pitch black around them, the terrain was completely unfamiliar, and someone could suddenly jump out and attack them with a sword at any time.

Not to mention seeing through the scheme.

Even if someone can see through it, in such an environment, it is not easy to escape!

Once you are in the situation, you have no choice.

Of course, time is also a factor.

These people... are mainly from the Sun and Moon Sect, and they have been in Chongyang Palace for less than a quarter of an hour.

Perhaps with a little more time, they would be able to calm down and think things through.

But just when they might be about to calm down, a group of people suddenly jump out and they will inevitably be shocked.

Without saying anything else, it is basically certain that this group of people are not our own.

In this way, we can naturally start the war with confidence.

Zhao Min looked anxious.

Because of the death of the two Xuanming Elders, her father reduced the number of her subordinates. If another group of them died, she might not have the chance to act alone in the future.

She quickly looked at Ah Da and said, "Ah Da, they've fallen into a trap. Let them retreat immediately!"

"Yes!"

Ah Da immediately poured his true energy into his throat and shouted, "Stop! Everyone retreat!"

The sudden loud noise made everyone in the Yuan Kingdom recognize it instantly, and they quickly stopped and retreated.

Yang Guo, who was in the crowd, saw this and immediately shouted, "Qiu Chuji ran to the east!"

When everyone heard this, they instinctively chased to the east.

But there were several figures who immediately fled to the west.

That’s right, the sentence ‘Qiu Chuji ran to the east’ was the code we had agreed upon before.

As soon as someone shouted this, they would retreat immediately.

As for the direction of retreat, it is naturally the opposite west!
Outside, Zhao Min, looking down from above, was naturally the first to realize this and immediately shouted, "You idiots! We were kidding you! They're running west!"

When the people below heard this, they all reacted and chased to the west.

Zhao Min said, "You guys chase after them too!"

All the previous preparations were for tonight. If you miss today, you don’t know if there will be another chance next time.

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the Quanzhen Sect will definitely be on high alert.

Moreover, although others may not know that the Ming court is dispatching troops, she is definitely very aware of it.

Once the Ming army arrives, there will be no chance at all.

So, she must seize this opportunity tonight.

However, just this period of time was enough to create a gap between the two sides, making it impossible for the people behind to catch up, and they could only watch those in front escape into the mountains and forests.

Now it will be even more difficult to chase after him.

Zhao Min was furious, feeling that all her plans had gone to waste, and for a moment her eyes were covered with mist.

But at this moment, one of the men in black suddenly took out a firework and lit it. The flames shot straight into the sky and were extremely conspicuous in the dark night.

Then, flames began to light up little by little in the darkness in the distance, gradually interweaving into a fire dragon.

"It's those people from the Sun Moon Sect. They've made other preparations!"

Zhao Min was surprised and said, "How audacious! Aren't you afraid of the Quanzhen faction's revenge later?"

Why are so many people wearing night clothes and wearing masks and not daring to reveal their identities? Isn’t it because Chongyang Palace is the ancestral home of Quanzhen and no one dares to offend the Quanzhen faction in the world?
Even for their Yuan Kingdom, it’s the same!
"But this is a good thing!" Zhao Min thought to herself.

The fire dragon came from far away.

Among the woods.

Everyone gathered together, their faces looking very ugly.

"The Sun and Moon Sect actually prepared such a backup plan, so blatantly..." Qiu Chuji gritted his teeth.

Liu Yugu also frowned: "According to their speed and search density, if we are surrounded, there is no way we can escape."

Yang Guo hammered his head and said, "This isn't right. They did those things during the day just to get rid of me. Why are they doing it again now..."

This is indeed puzzling.

If we act like this now, doesn't it mean that everything we did during the day is meaningless?
However, they don't have time to dwell on this issue now.

"Master Changchun, is there a place to hide in the mountains now? Or is there a way for us to escape?"

Qiu Chuji looked at the flames blazing around him and said with a wry smile, "With the intensity of their search right now, is there any way to escape?"

"Then, I'm afraid we can only charge out... We can do it, but the others in Chongyang Palace..."

Yue Buqun, Yin Zhiping and everyone else are actually hiding in the mountains now.

These masters might be able to break out of the encirclement, but others cannot.

In fact, the best way is to let everyone evacuate Chongyang Palace at the beginning.

But as Qiu Chuji said before, as Quanzhen disciples, how could they abandon the Quanzhen ancestral temple just because of the threat from the enemy?
Besides, the enemy was sent to attack the ancient tomb, but ended up scaring them all away. If the news got to the world, how could they survive?
Finally, no matter the three religions or the Sun and Moon Sect, they all showed enough respect for Chongyang Palace, and even handed over visiting cards to discuss with them before going up the mountain.

It was precisely because of this attitude that paralyzed them, leading them to mistakenly believe that these people did not dare to openly target Chongyang Palace.

But now it seems that they are not brave enough to do so!
Not only do they dare, but they are also very brave!
So, why did you have that attitude before?

At this time, Yue Songtao asked, "Master Changchun, do you know where the ancient tomb is?"

"Of course I know that." Qiu Chuji nodded, already understanding Yue Songtao's meaning: "You mean, we hide in the ancient tomb?"

"Yes, this is our only way out right now."

Qiu Chuji sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, let's meet up with the others and then go hide in the ancient tomb!"

Although this method is helpless, it is their only way to survive at the moment.

Just as everyone was about to take action, Yang Guo suddenly clapped his hands and said, "That's right, it's the ancient tomb!"

"What?" Everyone was puzzled.

Yang Guo said: "Target! Those people's target has been the ancient tomb from the beginning! And now, we are going to hide in the ancient tomb!"

Liu Yugu immediately understood: "Young Master Yang is saying that they will follow us to the ancient tomb? Is this their conspiracy?"
