Lady, let me explain.

Chapter 28 Attacked
The Mongols were mainly cavalry, but the terrain in the Tubo area was high and steep, making it impossible for the cavalry to pursue.

This is also an important reason why Lin Yi chose this route.

The group walked for more than a month, crossed the Tanggula Pass, and passed through the Qiangtang grassland before they left the Tubo territory.

After walking for a few more days, they entered the territory of Song State, only a few dozen miles away from Xiangyang City. The Huashan Sect members were excited, but Lin Yi did not relax.

The most dangerous steps in tightrope walking are the last few steps.

If Zhao Min is not satisfied with capturing the five major sects, she will definitely ambush him along the way after guessing his route.

At noon that day, the Huashan Sect passed by a market but did not enter. They just ate some dry food and continued on their way.

An hour later, the group was resting in a green forest when suddenly several monks walked in on the official road.

When he saw everyone, he went up to ask.

"May I ask which faction you heroes belong to? You look exhausted, as if you've traveled a long way from the West."

The Huashan Sect had been traveling in foreign lands for a long time, and finally heard Chinese. They all replied, "We are the Huashan Sect. We went to Guangmingding to wipe out the Demon Sect and returned!"

After months of hard work and travel back and forth to achieve this achievement, they can't wait to show off to everyone they meet.

"Huashan Sect!" The monk was shocked. "But it was Master Lin who defeated all the heroes on Guangming Peak and brought back the Huashan Sect?"

The Huashan Sect was proud of this and quickly asked these monks where they got the news.

It turned out that some Mingjiao members who had escaped or were released after being captured returned to the Central Plains and brought back news.

The destruction of the Ming Cult was enough to cause a huge shock in the martial arts world. Even though the Huashan Sect had not yet returned, Lin Yi had already become famous in the martial arts world.

Through word of mouth, Lin Yi of the Huashan Sect, who wiped out the Demon Sect, and Guo Jing, the hero who defended Xiangyang for several years, became two righteous heroes praised by the world.

"My name is Yuanchen. You all have come from Guangmingding. Have you seen Master Kongzhi and his group?"

Everyone in the Huashan Sect was stunned.

Zhou Zhiruo and Yue Lingshan looked at Lin Yi at the same time, but saw a bitter look on his face... The two women were puzzled.

Ning Zhongze asked curiously, "It's been so many days, and Master Kongzhi and the others haven't returned to Shaolin Temple yet?"

Monk Yuanchen came over and said, "They're not just returning to the temple. They haven't even made it past Xiangyang City. That's why the temple sent me west to meet them. Do you know why?"

Ning Zhongze was about to reply when he heard Lin Yi laugh and say, "I do know. Come here and I'll tell you."

Yuan Chen was delighted and quickly walked towards Lin Yi...

The other Huashan disciples had not yet reacted, but the experienced Ning Zhongze had already felt something strange in Lin Yi's words and secretly grasped the hilt of his sword.

Yuan Chen approached: "Sir, may I ask..."

He was halfway through his words when he suddenly raised a finger and stabbed it towards Lin Yi's dantian.

"Be careful!" Ning Zhongze was shocked.

But just as she drew her sword, she saw Yuan Chen flying backwards, a black shadow flashed before her eyes, and the remaining monks fell to the ground with blood spurting from their throats.

boom!
Yuan Chen fell to the ground.

Everyone looked over and saw Lin Yi standing still and swinging his sword, using his strength to flick out the blood on the sword, leaving a bloodstain on the ground.

After a few moments of silence, the group finally reacted.

Yue Lingshan asked, "Where are they from? How could they disguise themselves as Shaolin monks and attack us? How despicable!"

Lin Yi put away his sword: "He should be a disciple of the Vajra Sect in the Western Regions, and now he is working for the Mongols."

"Mongol!"

The Huashan Sect disciples were in an uproar.

Ning Zhongze said anxiously: "The Mongols must be around, let's run away quickly."

Lin Yi shook his head, but sat down where he was.

Zhou Zhiruo said, "Miss Ning, most of the Mongols are cavalry. We can't outrun horses on flat ground. We can even prevent cavalry charges in the woods." "That's true!" Ning Zhongze reacted.

Zhou Zhiruo's face suddenly turned pale, with traces of sadness between her brows.

"It seems that Master and the others, as well as the people from other factions, have all perished..."

Lin Yi said, "The Mongols won't kill them, they'll probably imprison them."

After hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo felt a little relieved.

Lin Yi looked in front of him.

[Flying Catkins and Blue Smoke Skill: 75]

His root bone has reached 80 points. He has been constantly practicing light skills while traveling these days, so he has made great progress.

"Adding the powerful internal energy brought by the Nine Yang Manual, even if Wei Yixiao were alive, he wouldn't be as fast as me, right?"

But Lin Yi was still not satisfied.

[Flying Catkins and Blue Smoke Skill: 75 → 80]

"Now, even if we are surrounded by enemies, we are not afraid..."

Lin Yi is not a pedantic person. As long as he escapes, Yue Lingshan and others will be safe even if they fall into Zhao Min's hands.

The people of Huashan Sect knew that they were surrounded and became anxious.

Yue Lingshan, Zhou Zhiruo and Ning Zhongze were secretly impressed when they saw Lin Yi sitting cross-legged on the ground, recovering his strength, with no emotion on his face. Their hearts gradually calmed down.

In just half a minute, there was movement outside the green forest, followed by the sound of horse hooves. Two teams of fully armed elite cavalry surrounded them from the front and back.

The Huashan Sect panicked and quickly drew their swords.

Lin Yi was still sitting there, looking extremely calm.

The Mongolian cavalry surrounded the Huashan Sect but did not launch an attack. Naturally, the Huashan Sect did not dare to attack either. The two groups remained deadlocked for another half a quarter of an hour...

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard again, and the cavalry in front separated, and a young man rode out slowly.

She was wearing a royal blue silk shirt, gently waving a folding fan, with a smile on her face, and an air of grace and elegance came over her.

"Mount Tai collapses before him, yet his expression remains unchanged; a deer rises to his left, yet he remains unblinking... Sect Leader Lin truly possesses great courage. I admire him greatly."

Her voice is clear, delicate and tender.

Everyone in the Huashan Sect was a little surprised that the one leading these Mongolian cavalry was actually a woman!
Lin Yi pretended enough before he slowly stood up.

He looked at Zhao Min and found her to be extremely beautiful, even more so than Zhou Zhiruo, who had been by his side for a long time.

Zhou Zhiruo was startled: "The Heavenly Sword..."

Everyone then saw that the sword hanging on her saddle was the Yitian Sword held by Nun Miejue. They felt a sinking feeling in their hearts as they thought that a figure like Nun Miejue might fall into her hands and her life or death might be uncertain.

Lin Yi was not surprised, and he smiled.

"I've long heard that Prince Ruyang has a daughter named Princess Shaomin, who is considered the most beautiful woman in Mongolia. Seeing her today, I can see that her reputation is well-deserved."

Zhao Min smiled and said, "Master Lin was able to predict the future and lead the Huashan Sect to escape the Ruyang Palace's army. He also knew my background. I admire him even more."

Lin Yi waved his hand, signaling the Huashan Sect members to lower their swords. Their resistance was futile; it would be better to surrender and avoid casualties.

"I wonder why the princess came here today?"

Zhao Min closed her fan and clapped it against her palm. The fan had a white jade handle, and her hand, gripping it, was so white it was indistinguishable from the handle.

"I came here today to invite Sect Leader Lin and everyone from the Huashan Sect to visit the Ruyang Palace."

Zhao Min smiled and said, "The other five sects have already arrived and are just waiting for the Huashan Sect to join them."

Although Ning Zhongze and others had a vague premonition in their hearts, they were all shocked when they heard the confirmation from her mouth!
The five sects of Wudang, Shaolin, Emei, Kunlun, and Kongtong were so powerful in the martial arts world, yet they were all swept away by the woman in front of him...
