A man stands before the heavens, his sword emerges from the Emei Mountains.

Chapter 106 The Devil is One Foot Tall, the Righteous One is Ten Feet Tall

"Wonderful!"

A faint smell of blood lingered in the morning breeze blowing up the hillside. As the sky gradually brightened, the outlines of the mountains and bamboo forests became clear. Wei Yixiao breathed in the air greedily.

Beside him were Yang Xiao, Bai Xilou, and Tang Yang, while a little further away in the woods were dozens of elite Hongshuiqi disciples.

Bai Xilou witnessed the entire process, and in some places the fighting was clearly visible. In more distant areas, she could only judge based on the sounds of battle. When the Thunder Gate, the Azure Phosphorus Cave, and the Five Poisons Sect were defeated, she thought to herself that following Wei Yixiao might not be a bad thing. Otherwise, besides Cheng Wei, she might have been another one to die in the bamboo forest.

Yang Xiao's gaze swept across the hills below, sometimes landing on Ji Xiaofu, sometimes on Yin Liting, his expression somber, his thoughts unreadable.

Wei Yixiao received no response from Yang Xiao, and smiled coldly, "The Emei Sect has become a force to be reckoned with. The six major sects see my Holy Sect as a thorn in their side. One day, there will surely be a great war, and Extinction and Chen Yu will be major threats."

Yang Xiao then laughed dismissively, "That is, if everyone is still alive by then."

"Well said."

"Slap, slap slap—"

The monotonous sound of clapping rang out from between Wei Yixiao's hands.

The light of the stars and moon in the sky gradually dimmed, and a figure moved in the sparse light of the forest.

"Wanting to sit back and watch the tigers fight! A brilliant idea." Chen Yu chuckled softly.

The two teams from Emei met up, and Chen Yu disappeared into the mountains.

His behavior was related to his cautious nature. He encountered Wei Yixiao, Tang Yang, and Bai Xilou in Dongting Lake, and Yang Xiao, Zhuang Zheng, and others in Hengyang.

According to Chen Yu's deduction, the appearance of Yang Xiao and the Ruijin Banner people is mostly related to Ba Shu Ming Yu Zhen Cun. However, with Bai Xilou of the Five Poisons Sect by Wei Yixiao's side, it is hard not to speculate that the Green Winged Bat King will get involved when the Emei Sect attacks the Five Poisons Sect. As for the motive, it is possible that he will use the martial arts techniques, the Five Immortals Wine, or take advantage of the situation to harm himself.

The more information Wei Yixiao learned about the Five Poisons Sect from Bai Xilou, the more motivated he became to interfere, a fact Chen Yu had no doubt about.

He never underestimated the Ming Cult's envoys and Dharma Kings. In the world of Yitian, everyone fell into Cheng Kun's hands. It wasn't that Wei Yixiao, Yang Xiao, and others lacked talent; it was because Cheng Kun was cunning and knew the Ming Cult too well. Knowing himself and his enemy, he was able to strike decisively.

Chen Yu searched stealthily in the mountains and, unsurprisingly, spotted Wei Yixiao and Yang Xiao.

As the iron-gray sky gradually faded, disciples from the Emei and Hengshan sects began to clear the battlefield. Wei Yixiao and the others quickly withdrew, while Chen Yu lingered in the spot for a long time before heading down the mountain.

As dawn broke, the air still carried the chill of the previous night. As more and more bodies of disciples from the Five Poisons Sect, Thunder and Lightning Sect, and other sects who had been secretly killed by Chen Yu were found and gathered together, the Hengshan Sect disciples' high spirits, which had been surging since their departure from Hengyang, finally cooled down considerably, as if doused with cold water.

The Hengshan Sect leader, Shao Xishan, did not miss the opportunity to teach, and his loud voice slowly pierced through the thin mist floating in the forest.

"You've all seen it. This is the martial world. Traps, ambushes, poisoning—they'll use any means necessary. All talk of white robes and martial arts rules is just a mirage. If it weren't for the Emei Sect's warning, do you think you could have dodged the bamboo arrows and crossbows? People's hearts are chaotic. When you underestimate your opponent, you're essentially handing yourself over to their blade. Remember, when you meet on a narrow path, there's only one goal: take your opponent's life, no matter the means."

Chen Yu sighed and said to Elder Yuan beside him, "Every word is insightful."

Elder Yuan said meaningfully, "The Hengshan Sect has been content with its isolated corner for too long."

Chen Yu nodded, "That's true. Senior didn't mention that Tang Qianhuan was skilled in using Thunderbolt Bombs when he was in Qiantang."

"My oversight was a technique I honed from observing and practicing fireworks."

"It's impossible to guard against."

Elder Ape grinned, "Fourth Brother didn't get any advantage from you, kid."

Chen Yu spoke frankly, "The main reason was that my master, the second master Yu, and the senior arrived in time. Tang Qianhuan covered the retreat of the Thunder and Lightning Sect leader and the Bilin Cave Master."

Elder Ape's eyes widened. "I can clearly see that you, kid, have mastered the trick of using sound to break the Thirteen Swords of the Hundred Transformations and Illusions."

"A first glimpse into the basics."

Elder Ape laughed heartily, "Exceptional talent, truly remarkable."

After giving a speech from afar, Shao Xishan saw that his disciples and followers were deeply moved and began to summarize and reflect in twos and threes. He was quite satisfied with the effect and turned around to stroke his beard and walk over.

Chen Yu stood up. "I would like to invite you, senior, my master, and the two heroes of Wudang, Yu Erxia, to discuss how to attack Changqing Valley."

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Elder Yuan stood up, and the three of them walked towards the bamboo shed. As Chen Yu walked forward, he looked around and saw Ji Xiaofu, Zhou Zhiruo, Ding Minjun, Tang Zhihu, and others busy treating the injured disciples.

The battle in the bamboo forest was over by the time ordinary disciples arrived, thanks to Chen Yu's prior warning and the participation of experts from the Hengshan Sect. There were no casualties. On the contrary, Yang An fought against the defeated disciples of the Five Poisons Sect and the Thunder and Lightning Sect. Although the fighting was brief, the opponents were desperate and injured many of their disciples.

Bei Jinyi, along with more than ten female disciples, was busy preparing breakfast.

Yin Liting and Song Qingshu walked together towards Ji Xiaofu and Zhou Zhiruo to help. Chen Yu looked back and quickly went to the bamboo shed.

The CD player disperses the thin mist over the mountains and fields, and the morning breeze carries away the stench of blood.

Miejue, Yu Lianzhou, Shao Xishan, Master Ji, and others gathered in the thatched hut.

"Second Master Yu, Sect Leader Shao, and Master Ji, please tell me how to attack Changchun Valley of the Five Poisons Sect."

All three of them turned to look at Chen Yu.

"Yu'er, tell me."

"Alright." Chen Yu didn't refuse or feign politeness and got straight to the point: "Since the Five Poisons Sect set up an ambush, they must know our whereabouts. However, they probably didn't expect that both ambushes would be completely defeated. My idea is that time is of the essence, and we shouldn't give them another chance to calmly gather their forces."

"Good idea." Yu Lianzhou nodded.

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war, good." Shao Xishan had no objections.

Seeing that everyone agreed with Chen Yu's words and found them even more agreeable than if she had spoken herself, Miejue decided, "So we will head straight for Evergreen Valley after breakfast."

Breakfast is simple.

Yang An's group of Emei disciples carried iron pots. In autumn, it was easy for the disciples of Yaowang Cave to find edible wild vegetables and mushrooms in the mountains.

Ding Minjun diligently brought over a bowl of noodles with vegetables and mushrooms for Miejue and Chen Yu, while Bei Jinyi, Su Mengqing, Ji Xiaofu and others gave priority to the disciples of Hengshan Sect and Ji Zhuang.

One sect, one manor, mostly male disciples, and there was another round of polite deference.

Yin Liting held the bowl of noodles, glancing around several times. He had the urge to give his portion to Ji Xiaofu, who was eating dry rations and fruit, but he was also shy and meticulous. In front of everyone, he was afraid that Ji Xiaofu would be embarrassed.

Yu Lianzhou kicked him.

"What are you doing, Second Brother?"

"If you want to go, then go."

Yin Liting was overjoyed, feeling emboldened by his second brother's support. He carried the bowl of noodles to Ji Xiaofu's side and said, "Xiaofu, have some noodles."

""

Su Mengqing, Bei Jinyi, and others nearby laughed good-naturedly, and Ji Xiaofu hurriedly stood up.

Yin Liting's face turned red. Without saying a word, he put down the bowl and said, "I'm going to discuss with my senior brother how to kill the Five Poisons Sect."

He flew away as fast as he could.

Su Mengqing smiled and said, "Sixth Hero Yin would never lie."

"Senior sister, have some, we're still waiting for your celebratory noodles." A smile spread across Bei Jinyi's dimples.

"Don't talk nonsense." Ji Xiaofu stepped forward to deliver the noodles.

"Senior Sister, with your gift, Sixth Hero Yin will truly be ashamed," Su Mengqing said.

"That makes sense. Senior sister, just eat it freely."

Ji Xiaofu was caught in a dilemma, but she thought that her junior sister's words made sense, and thought to herself, "Sixth Brother, what have I done to deserve this?"

Chen Yu glanced at Ji Xiaofu, then looked at Yin Liuxia who was walking happily toward Yu Lianzhou, sighed inwardly, and brought his thoughts back to Miejue, saying, "Master, I have something to say."

"Just tell me."

"I saw Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao and others this morning."

The posture of the Extinction Noodles was frozen in mid-air, the raised eyebrows twitching little by little, and a fierce and murderous aura began to spread.

"Master, I have an idea," Chen Yu said hurriedly.

"explain."

"Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao and the others must be sitting on the sidelines watching the fight. Even if we find them now, a fight will only result in mutual destruction, and the Five Poisons Sect will benefit."

"What do you think, disciple?"

"Perhaps we can let the Five Poisons Sect fight Yang Xiao and the others first."

"Disaster."

With his ears twitching, the ape elder, with his keen hearing, suddenly grinned and interjected.

"Senior, let's discuss this together."

Elder Yuan brought over a bowl of noodles. Chen Yu offered him a seat, and he squatted down. "Senior and I will act alone, following Yang Xiao and the others to lure the enemy over."

"This approach does have a chance of success."

Chen Yu looked at Miejue.

Miejue put down the bowl and handed the Yitian Sword, wrapped in silk cloth, to Chen Yu.

"Take this, disciple, just in case."

"Master, rest assured, I was merely luring the enemy. Escaping will not be difficult, and I have already made some preparations." Chen Yu pondered for a moment and took out the "Crimson Diamond Pattern Gloves" from his bosom.

"Master is carrying this."

"This is?"

"It was found on an old man in the Bilin Cave. I don't know what material it is made of, but it can be used to catch blades with bare hands and also protect against poisonous palm strikes."

"Ha, what use do I have for this? You take it."

"Xia Jingzhe, the vice leader of the Five Poisons Sect, possesses astonishing poison palm skills. Lian Zhenjia makes a living by tomb raiding; how could she not know poison techniques? The demonic monk's cultivation must surpass Yunze's. We must take precautions."

"Master, this boy is right. We have to rely on you to help us when we encounter Lian Zhenjia. I will take my junior sister with me."

Abbess Miejue was very pleased to hear this. She thought that Chen Yu was quick-witted, Yuan Gong had superb lightness skills, and Lan Caidie from Hengshan Sect had extraordinary swordsmanship. She believed that the three of them could protect themselves without any worries when practicing together.

"it is good."

Chen Yu was overjoyed and comforted his master, An Ding, saying that the mission was accomplished.

As the wind blew across the hills, the forests and fields stirred. Yunze's figure appeared, and he leaped up the grass in eight steps, reaching the stone cave in a few leaps.

"Senior brother."

"I messed up."

Lian Zhenjia, tall and slender, walked out of the stone cave unhurriedly, blocking the light in front of the demonic monk Yunze.

Yunze's Adam's apple bobbed. "How did you know, Senior Brother?"

"I want to see what kind of superhuman abilities Guo Xiang's disciples and grand-disciples possess." Lian Zhenjia took a step forward, and the four or five zhang in front of her seemed to disappear into thin air. "The news came so quickly; they must have failed, and suffered a crushing defeat at that."

Yunze turned around and followed closely, filled with admiration. "Senior brother is wise."

As the sun blazed down in mid-September, Miejue, Yu Lianzhou, Shao Xishan, and the others ventured deep into the Wuling Mountains. The towering peaks blocked out the scorching sun, making it quite cool and refreshing.

Following the route provided by Bai Xilou, we continued for more than ten miles until dusk. The valley gradually opened up, and after another mile or so, we saw green mountains like dark eyebrows, with swaying cypress trees of varying heights. The valley was filled with colorful flowers, and the sunset, river, and waterfall created a picturesque scene.

-

As the setting sun sank westward and disappeared into the forest, the temperature gradually dropped, and the coolness refreshed everyone.

The mountains are high and the forests are dense, making it difficult to travel at night.

Disciples from the Emei Sect, Hengshan Sect, and Jizhuang Sect began setting up camp and dispatched elite personnel to guard the area.

Shi Jinkui then led the disciples of the Medicine King Cave to place medicinal powder to repel snakes and insects throughout the area.

No campfires were lit in the camps, and the disciples of each sect ate dry rations and the simple fruits they carried with them.

As Ding Minjun recounted Chen Yu's victory over the Dong Sect and the Qinghai Sword Sect at the Liuhe Pagoda, she couldn't help but gesture with her hands when she reached the most exciting part.

Zhou Zhiruo sat quietly beside Bei Jinyi, listening to Chen Yu's heroic deeds, her eyes bright and lively. Song Qingshu walked over and stood beside Zhou Zhiruo, saying, "When my father was teaching the younger generation swordsmanship, he said that our sect's ancestor was the best swordsman in the world, followed by the Emei Sect's leader, Senior Miejue. The other day, when I saw my uncles wielding their swordsmanship, I realized how exquisite it was, difficult to describe in words."

Knowing that Zhou Zhiruo was a disciple of Miejue, Song Qingshu said according to etiquette, "The sword strike that Uncle Zhou used to turn around and kill the enemy was truly like a deer hanging its horns, leaving no trace."

Su Mengqing smiled and said, "This is the killing move of our sect's 'Willow Dance in the Wind Sword' technique."

Ding Minjun chimed in, "Junior Brother Chen's use of this move was truly unconventional and incredible."

"Actually, Wudang swordplay also has moves that are similar in concept to 'Willow Dance in the Wind'."

"Brother Song, why don't you let him come out and take a look?" Ding Minjun said.

"Of course."

Song Qingshu stood not far from Zhou Zhiruo, drew his sword, raised his knee to pull the sword, stepped forward and pointed the sword, suddenly turned the long sword to his chest with the tip pointing diagonally downward, stepped forward and swung the sword backward with a backhand.

With a whoosh, the longsword pierced through the air, leaving a clear ripple.

Song Qingshu was tall and slender with handsome features. His swordplay was elegant and unexpected, which drew cheers from the female disciples of Emei.

Miejue glanced around and thought to herself that when she was in Xiangyang, the whole city was full of praise for the Jade-Faced Mengchang. Now, it seems that he is not as composed as Yu'er. Suddenly, her pupils shrank, and she saw a person standing on the treetop in the distance, wearing a bright yellow cassock. The distance was not close, so it was difficult to see his appearance clearly.

"Who are you, sir, playing tricks on me?"

Upon hearing the sound, Yu Lianzhou and Shao Xishan both stood up and looked over.

"Extinction, you're not looking for the old monk."

The old monk on the treetop swayed his body as if walking on thin air, and his figure floated to the camp of the Emei Sect disciples. Zhou Zhiruo looked over and saw that half of the old monk's face was as red as a baby's, while the other half looked like a withered tree.

It's neither human nor ghost.

She was still quite young, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The old monk smiled grimly, "The child has good potential."

"Sword Formation"

Ding Minjun, Ji Xiaofu, and Jingxu shouted in unison, and the clanging of swords being drawn echoed incessantly. Suddenly, streaks of green light flew up in the arena, and the old monk was surrounded by the Four Symbols Sword Formation.
