Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points
Chapter 94 Openly repairing the plank road while secretly advancing the Chencang pass
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the cold winter night howls.
In the west of the city, the once bustling streets were deserted. The doors and windows of the surrounding shops and houses were closed, with only a narrow gap peeking out to steal glances at the menacing soldiers approaching from the street.
"Oh dear, the Li family is probably doomed. They've attracted the city guards to enter the city."
"How could that be? The Li family is known as 'Li Half-City,' and they have a large number of skilled guards within the clan. They are not so easily defeated."
Zhou Chen followed behind Chen Wu, and a smile appeared on his lips as he heard the whispers from the surrounding houses.
He looked up towards the end of the street, where a group of warriors dressed in thin clothes and wielding various weapons blocked the entrance to the alley, displaying great courage.
Before that group of warriors, former magistrate Li Youde, dressed in military attire, rode a tall horse with a fierce expression.
Chen Wu's eyes flickered when he saw this person.
The attack on Hong Lie was indeed secretly orchestrated by the Li family.
At this moment, he wished he could wave his hand and send his troops to charge into the Li family's formation and kill the man who had injured his trusted confidant.
Unfortunately, today's large-scale conflict, ostensibly aimed at eliminating the Li family, is actually a surprise attack on the Wusheng Sect's stronghold.
Before mobilizing the city guards, he had already ordered the arrest of Chen Zhige's head steward.
Under duress and enticement, it was discovered that this person had already joined the Wusheng Cult long ago.
Therefore, apart from the Wusheng sect members, no one noticed the large-scale construction project under Chen Zhige's residence from beginning to end.
After careful consideration, Chen Wu instructed Uncle Fu to go to the Li family to inform them, which led to this wonderful show.
"Gentlemen, the Wusheng Sect is sowing discord and trying to incite conflict between my Chen and Li families. Now, the Li family and I are putting on this show to create a diversion." Chen Wu stood with his spear in hand, his aura rising.
"Hear my command and raze the Chen residence in front of us."
Having said that, he cracked his whip and rode straight towards Chen Zhige's house, which was not far from the Li family's ancestral home.
Behind them, the elite martial arts masters carefully selected from the Chen family followed closely, not lagging behind at all.
Seeing Chen Wu leading his troops forward, Li Youde, who was across the street, immediately joined forces and charged towards Chen Zhige's residence.
As a dismissed county magistrate, Li Youde wanted to make a name for himself if he wanted to be reinstated.
Therefore, when Chen Wu sent the old servant to convey his message, he understood Chen Wu's meaning.
The two sides joined forces to eliminate the Wusheng Sect. Firstly, the matter of him having someone impersonate a Wusheng Sect member to ambush Hong Lie and seriously injure him was thus settled, and from now on, any mention of this matter would be attributed to the Wusheng Sect.
Secondly, it would be a good opportunity to gain merit and plot a comeback.
All are happy.
It's just a pity that Hong Lie can no longer find the real culprit who hurt him.
-----------------
Meanwhile, inside the Wusheng Sect's stronghold.
A figure leaned back in a grand chair, looking quite content.
"Brother, this Chen Wu is truly a brave but reckless fellow. He actually mobilized the city guards to fight against the Li family just for a servant outside the main family." The old voice rang out, extremely smug.
"After tonight, I will send my son to the county town to accuse him of privately dispatching troops. At that time, his official hat will be hard to keep."
After tonight, the Li family will be severely weakened, and the entire Xingde County will belong to the Zhao family!
The man let out a few hearty laughs, clearly extremely pleased.
"Hehehe." The seventh brother, sitting at the end of the table, let out a few strange laughs. "Then my Wusheng Sect will be able to do whatever it wants in the city."
"As long as we gather enough flesh and blood of ten thousand people and hold a grand sacrifice, the Old Mother will bestow countless elixirs upon us, at which time we will also be able to glimpse the wonders of enlightenment."
At this point, laughter echoed throughout the stronghold.
Even the stern-faced man in the red-gold mask sitting at the head of the table subtly revealed a hint of a smile.
Since breaking through to the middle dantian realm using the Wanling Powder, his cultivation has remained stagnant for a long time.
Today, Wusheng Sect is sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight, but he has become the fisherman, just waiting to reap the benefits.
Suddenly, a slight tremor came from the ground above, and it seemed as if a thousand troops were galloping in from afar.
He was about to send his followers to investigate, but then he remembered that the Li family's ancestral home was not far from here, and the commotion must have been caused by the army that was attacking the Li family, so he held back.
"The chief priest of the prefecture always says that I am all bark and no bite, and that I panic in the face of important matters. Now I will calm down."
He kept his eyes down, his mind focused, like an old fisherman sitting calmly on his fishing platform.
"Report..."
Just then, a follower dressed in yellow rushed over and knelt on the ground.
"High Priest, a large number of soldiers and warriors are heading this way."
"What?!" The man in the crimson-gold mask jumped to his feet, his face filled with astonishment. "Wasn't it a bloody battle between the Chen and Li families?!"
Before them, the Zhao family members, who had just been so smug, suddenly went limp and slid to the ground.
"It's over. If people find out that I'm colluding with the Wusheng Sect, my clan will also be implicated."
The vibrations overhead gradually intensified, and the sound grew louder and louder, making everyone's heads buzz.
The man in the crimson-gold mask panicked and was about to send someone to find the second brother.
Within the entire stronghold, only he and the second brother were martial artists at the Enlightenment Realm. As long as the two of them were there, the Wusheng Sect in Xingde County would not disband.
However, before he could rush to the side and open the stone door, cracks suddenly appeared in the ground above.
"Click, click..."
With a series of loud bangs, several figures with incredibly powerful auras stormed in; they were Chen Wu and Li Youde.
The two charged ahead together, one thinking of accumulating merits to move up the ranks, and the other thinking of redeeming himself and getting a new job. They hit it off immediately.
The man in the crimson-gold mask felt a pang of panic, but upon seeing that the two leaders were only at the Marrow Cleansing stage, he immediately calmed down.
"You dare to trespass on my Wusheng Sect?" The man in the crimson-gold mask's acupoints surged with true energy, and his robes fluttered in the wind.
"Not good! The Awakening Realm!" Chen Wu and Li Youde regretted their actions the moment they saw the man in the crimson-gold mask surrounded by seemingly tangible true energy.
Just then, the golden figure flashed and appeared in front of the two of them.
He drew his fists with both hands, his true energy surging, creating endless gusts of wind.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two muffled thuds.
Chen Wu and Li Youde's weapons broke the instant they touched the force of the fist's energy.
The fist struck their chests squarely, causing both men to cough up blood and fly backward.
"Not strong, but has plenty of life-saving items." The man in the crimson-gold mask placed his fists on the chests of the two men, feeling two streams of true energy, one cold and one hot, blocking his fists and surging back.
He flicked his arm, dispelling the external true energy that the two had generated in the midst of the crisis.
After defeating the two men, the man in the crimson-gold mask did not press his advantage but instead returned to the stronghold and opened the stone door.
Inside, the second-in-command, who was in charge of researching the cannibalistic monsters, had already put on a Yama mask.
Upon seeing the man in the crimson-gold mask, he glanced longingly at the countless corpses behind him and the cannibalistic monsters yet to be unleashed, before stepping out of the stone gate.
"Second brother, hurry up, the ancestors of these two families should be arriving soon."
Before the words were finished, a distant sound came from the sky.
"You two have been hiding here for quite some time, why not stay a little longer?"
Inside the Chen residence, Zhou Chen and the others saw Chen Wu and Li Youde work together to blast open the ground and rush into it. They then coughed up blood and flew backward, their injuries extremely severe.
At this moment, an elderly man with white hair stood beside the two of them, looking at Li Youde with a sense of disappointment and frustration.
"You're always in such a hurry."
