Soon, with Ma Guangzuo's translation, Wang Jiuling obtained a lot of information about the Vajra Sect from the two evil monks.

As expected, their temple abbot was also there.

Furthermore, there is a crucial piece of information: they have recently been preparing horses and camels, suggesting that some high-ranking officials may be leaving.

"Hero! Spare us, hero! We'll never bully anyone again! We'll respect the elderly and care for the young from now on!"

The two monks knelt down and begged for mercy, but the next second Wang Jiuling slit their throats with a single sword stroke.

"Respect the elderly and care for the young? Remember that when you're reincarnated, and don't forget it in your next life."

Just as Wang Jiuling finished killing someone, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he turned to look at the tree not far away.

"Who goes there? Come out!"

He moved his feet and charged towards that direction with his sword in hand.

There were two people behind the tree. When they saw Wang Jiuling charging towards them with his sword, their expressions changed immediately.

"What?! They managed to spot us?!"

But there was no time to think too much. When Wang Jiuling came over, he found that the two men were wearing gray robes and straw hats, and they were acting suspiciously.

He snorted coldly, and with a swift stroke of his longsword, he slashed at one of them.

The man's expression changed drastically. He fell backward, braced himself with his hands, pushed off with his feet, and quickly jumped backward.

At the same time, another person also made a move, his hands forming claws as he grabbed at Wang Jiuling's sword-wielding arm.

His fingers were strong and powerful, making a whistling sound as they cut through the air.

The moment she grabbed Wang Jiuling's arm, she was repelled by Wang Jiuling's protective true energy.

His expression changed drastically.

What? How can this Taoist priest have such high martial arts skills??

Wang Jiuling narrowed his eyes. "Hmph! Vajra Finger?" This claw technique reminded him of Xuanjian's moves, and he realized that this was a martial art of the Vajra Sect, so he immediately had the intention to kill.

"Wait..." The gray-robed man had barely uttered a word when Wang Jiuling struck him with a palm, forcing him to raise his hand to block.

But the next second, his face turned pale.

Before Wang Jiuling's palm strike even reached him, the powerful internal energy caused his robes to flutter and his bamboo hat to fly off.

Beneath the straw hat was a young face, in his twenties or thirties, and he was currently displaying a horrified expression.

"Junior brother!" another gray-robed man called out.

Wang Jiuling's expression changed because he heard the two people speaking Mandarin.

Moreover, when the person in front of him struck out, his entire body erupted with powerful internal energy.

Although far inferior to Wang Jiuling, his internal strength was clearly that of a legitimate internal martial arts practitioner.

And it felt somewhat familiar to Wang Jiuling.

In an instant, Wang Jiuling knew he had hit the wrong person.

Wang Jiuling knew the details of the Vajra Sect. When the Fire-Worker Monk fled Shaolin, he took some martial arts manuals with him.

However, what he took away were all external martial arts skills, while he had virtually no access to the core internal skills of Shaolin.

Therefore, whether it is Xuanjian or Xuantong, these people from the Vajra Sect mainly use external martial arts, and their internal energy cultivation is basically a mess.

His approach was completely different from the one in front of him.

At this moment, before the other person could come to the rescue, the monk in front of Wang Jiuling frantically mobilized his internal energy.

The oppressive force of the palm strike rendered him unable to muster any will to resist.

dying.

His first thought was that he was doomed.

But the next second, Wang Jiuling's palm tilted to the side. He forcibly suppressed his true energy and redirected his palm force to the side.

Bang! A nearby tree was hit and shook violently, its leaves falling.

Wang Jiuling was forced back by his own force, his arm went numb and his blood and qi surged, but he relied on the Nine Yang Divine Skill to quickly bring his blood and qi down.

The man had almost thought he was going to die, but unexpectedly Wang Jiuling suddenly stopped.

Cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He glanced back at the handprint on the tree and couldn't help but swallow hard.

At that moment, another person ran over and took off his straw hat.

"Senior brother! Are you alright?"

His senior brother shook his head.

"It's alright!" He was relieved.

The man who had exchanged palm strikes with Wang Jiuling walked up to Wang Jiuling and clasped his hands together.

"Amitabha! Thank you for your mercy!"

Wang Jiuling had basically recovered by this time. He took a deep breath, calmed his breathing, and bowed to the two of them.

"Gentlemen! I was so anxious just now that I almost hurt you!"

The two shook their heads, indicating that nothing was wrong.

Wang Jiuling looked at the two of them, who, despite having hair on their heads, had their hands clasped together. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said:

"I thought you two were from the Vajra Sect, but judging from your internal martial arts skills... you are lay disciples of Shaolin?"

Was that the Dragon Claw Hand technique you just used?

The two men paused for a moment, exchanged a glance, and nodded.

"Amitabha! We are indeed lay disciples of Shaolin, but not from the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song in the Central Plains, but from the Shaolin Temple in the Western Regions!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiuling thought to himself, "Just as I suspected."

The claw technique this person used just now looked similar to the Vajra Finger of the Vajra Sect, which almost made him misunderstand.

So it's the Dragon Claw Hand from Shaolin, no wonder it looks so similar.

Moreover, this person's internal strength is indeed based on the Shaolin style.

Afterwards, both parties introduced themselves. Wang Jiuling did not change his name or surname, nor did he conceal anything.

The two of them also signed up.

They were fellow disciples; the senior disciple was Fang Tianlao, and the junior disciple was Wei Tianwang.

This made Wang Jiuling realize that these were two of the three Shaolin elders from the Western Regions at the beginning of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber story.

Looking at their ages, the two people in front of them were only in their twenties or thirties, which made sense.

"So you're a fellow Daoist from the Quanzhen School! My apologies for my rudeness!"

"Amitabha! Fellow Daoist, you must also be here to seek trouble with the Vajra Sect?"

Fang Tianlao asked Wang Jiuling, who nodded. "Indeed, you two have come here also to seek the Vajra Sect?"

Wang Jiuling remembered that in the novel *The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber*, the Shaolin Temple and the Vajra Sect of the Western Regions were irreconcilable enemies. Sure enough, Fang Tianlao and Wei Tianwang exchanged a glance and nodded.

Since Wang Jiuling was looking for trouble with the Vajra Sect, they were now friends, so the two didn't hide anything from each other.

It turned out they had come to inquire about the Vajra Sect. They had learned that the Vajra Sect seemed to have plans to move away from this Ox Horn Mountain.

Just as he was about to leave to deliver a message, he unexpectedly encountered two disciples of the Vajra Sect on the road. He had just hidden himself when he saw Wang Jiuling make his move.

Thinking of Wang Jiuling's ability to dislocate tendons and bones, the two of them still looked at Wang Jiuling with some strangeness.

Wang Jiuling's eyes lit up; these two people were skilled in martial arts.

If he and Qiu Qianren were to fight together, Fang Tianlao, Wei Tianwang, and Ma Guangzuo would be in charge of blocking the door, and none of the Vajra Sect members would be able to escape.

That's perfect for capturing them all at once.

Wang Jiuling immediately invited the two to work together on a plan.

"What? Just the few of us are going to attack the Vajra Gate? That's not a good idea!"
