A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

The disciples of Haishan Cave were completely bewildered. Weren't they supposed to wait for them to finish speaking before engaging in a war of words and then start fighting? Why was this so-called righteous sect acting completely out of the ordinary?

After a brutal beating, Su Tiefeng clapped his hands and let out a long sigh of relief. He had finally vented his anger at these lowly thugs.

"So what are these people doing here? Just to annoy us?"

Lin Xueyi looked at the defeated disciples of Haishan Cave with a bewildered expression. She couldn't understand what these people were doing here or what their purpose was. If it was about giving away experience points, Su Tiefeng didn't seem like a protagonist in a novel.

"Who cares? These people from the Sea Cave aren't good people either. We can vent our anger before we go home."

“No, there’s definitely something wrong with these people. The people from Haishan Cave wouldn’t send people here for no reason. And how did they know you came to Mingyue Valley?”

Lin Xueyi suddenly realized that if Su Zhengxiong wanted to send someone to ask for help, he certainly wouldn't tell anyone. But the fact that these people knew to ambush them here was itself a problem.

"Are they trying to make me arrive later?" Hong Gu glanced at the group. She didn't think the people from Haishan Cave would dare to target her, but it was very likely that these were the people who were preparing to attack Flying Eagle Fortress.

She is the only strong ally of Flying Eagle Fortress. If she arrives late or is too late, then the people of Sea Mountain Cave may indeed be able to take over Flying Eagle Fortress.

"Oh no, it seems the Sea Mountain Cave is planning to attack Flying Eagle Fortress. We need to mount our horses and head back as fast as we can."

Lin Xueyi looked at the defeated disciples of Haishan Cave and still felt a little uneasy. However, since Senior Hong Gu had said so, she could only follow Su Mengsha and rush back with all her might.

Lin Xueyi was speechless, truly speechless. The journey, which should have taken only three days, had taken four and a half days. It was one thing for people to jump out while they were walking, but what was most infuriating was that people would jump out when they were drinking water or eating, not giving them any rest time at all.

Covered in dust and grime, and having not rested well for a long time, Lin Xueyi felt she had reached her breaking point. Especially since those people wouldn't let her make a move, she had nowhere to vent her anger.

However, the more frantically these people blocked their way, the more Hong Gu and Su Tiefeng felt that the other side was trying to delay them and prevent them from arriving in time.

Lin Xueyi felt increasingly uneasy about what was going on, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She could only continue following along for the time being to see what the people from the Haishan Cave were really after.

"Faster, faster, Eagle Town is just ahead. Once we get there, we can get back to Eagle Fortress very quickly."

"No, stop." Lin Xueyi suddenly sensed that something was hidden ahead, and a sense of danger lingered in her heart.

As the horse suddenly stopped after galloping, Su Tiefeng looked at the girl who had suddenly called out to him with a puzzled expression. She had been quiet the whole way, so why did she suddenly speak up at this moment?

"Sister Su, there is danger ahead. I'm afraid the people from Haishan Cave have laid a real trap ahead."

With a slight frown, Hong Gu didn't take Lin Xueyi's killing move to heart. Of course, the main reason was that there weren't many innate masters in this Hai Shan Cave. If the cave master dared to take action personally, then Hai Shan Cave would have to suffer the loss of an innate master, which was something they couldn't afford.

"Don't worry, little girl, with me here, they won't be able to cause any trouble."

"Hehehe... Everyone says that the Flying Snow Sword—Heroine Zeng Yinghong—is arrogant. I never thought she would really look down on us like this. However, you've come to the wrong place at the wrong time. You could have lived, but you've ended up on a dead end."

As soon as Zeng Yinghong finished speaking, she was met with laughter that Lin Xueyi would then criticize. At that moment, three men in black descended from the sky, their positions giving off a sense of great danger.

"Who are you? There's no way someone like you could exist in Haishan Cave."

Hong Gu stared intently at the three men in black before her. The aura emanating from them was enough to startle her. When did these three innate masters appear in Hai Shan Cave?

The three of them didn't answer Hong Gu's question at all, but instead got into a fighting stance, ready to attack them at any moment.

Seeing this, Hong Gu's long sword flew out of its sheath, and she, who was still on horseback, pounced towards the three men in black along with the sword.

"The legendary Flying Snow Sword, its blade strikes like fine snowflakes, dense and chaotic, causing people to lose their way in the sword's flair and unknowingly lose their lives. Now it seems that this is indeed true."

The three men in black were instantly enveloped by the glint of cold light, like flying snowflakes of sword flowers. However, instead of being in grave danger, they showed no signs of panic at being at a disadvantage. Instead, they strolled around leisurely, as if the attack had no effect on them at all.

"No, Senior Hong Gu used too much true energy before, which is why she is now showing less than half of her previous strength."

"As expected, the previous interception was not intended to slow down Senior Hong Gu's movements, but rather to prevent her from resting properly and weaken her strength."

Su Mengsha and Su Tiefeng then realized that they had already fallen into the enemy's trap on their way here, preventing Senior Hong Gu from fighting at full strength.

"Damn it, these rats in Haishan Cave are really awful." Su Mengsha angrily slapped the back of her horse. Seeing that Hong Gu was being repeatedly attacked and forced to retreat, Su Mengsha also felt that they were the ones who had harmed this senior.

"Alright, nothing bad has happened yet."

Lin Xueyi patted Su Mengsha's hand, then lightly leaped off her horse, her small hand gently patting the four people who were locked in combat.

The powerful palm strike instantly pulled the four combatants out of the fray. This unexpected presence appeared before the men in black, surprising them.

"May I ask who you are? And why are you interfering in our battle?"

"Xueyi? It's you! Was it you who just unleashed that palm strike?"

Hong Gu looked at the suddenly appearing girl in astonishment. She had always been well-behaved, but at this moment, she found it hard to believe.

Even at her peak, she couldn't unleash that palm strike, but judging from her expression, it seemed like she was just making a casual gesture.

"Miss, this matter is a private feud between us and Hong Gu. Please don't interfere..."

"What do you mean 'don't want'? Don't you know you're blocking our way? Hong Gu and I are heading to Flying Eagle Fortress together. You think you're right to block our way? Either get out of our way right now, or I'll beat you into moving."

"Hmph, little girl, you think you can take advantage of me? I'd like to see what you're capable of, uttering such arrogant words."

Upon hearing this, the three men in black were filled with anger. They really didn't take this little girl seriously. So what if her palm strikes were fierce? How many innate masters like her had died under their hands?

"Second brother, third brother, let's go! Today, let's make this little girl regret her meddling in the underworld."

Three men in black rushed towards Lin Xueyi in a triangular formation. At this moment, Hong Gu also realized that there was a hidden formation in the footwork of these three men in black, which explained why they were so difficult to deal with.

"Xueyi, be careful. These three are clearly using a formation. If you can't defeat them, leave first with Mengsha and Tiefeng."

"It's just a mere formation, what's there to fear?" Facing the oncoming attack, Lin Xueyi said arrogantly. However, despite her small stature and arrogance, she still gave off a haughty and spoiled vibe.

Her adorable appearance would have tempted Su Mengsha if they weren't in the middle of a battle and Su Mengsha wasn't worried about her safety.

Riding on six dragons... With a single Dragon Subduing Palm strike, she sent the three men in black spitting blood as they fled, leaving those who had been worried about her speechless.

He clapped his hands, looking at the three men in black who were already lying on the ground, and said, "That's it? You were arrogant for so long, and that's all?"

The three men, unable to rise again, were so enraged by the little girl's mockery that they coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell silent.

As for Hong Gu, Su Tiefeng, and the others, this was not the time for them to ask questions here. They should continue their journey towards Flying Eagle Fortress.

Main Text: Chapter Forty-One: The Predicament of Eagle Fortress

Su Zhengxiong was in a difficult situation. Although the people in Flying Eagle Fortress were somewhat helpless against the surprise attack on Haishan Cave, and even found it difficult to resist the attack, none of them had suggested that Su Mengsha marry into Haishan Cave.

After all, the righteous and the evil have been irreconcilable since ancient times. To think that their daughter from Flying Eagle Fortress would marry into this Sea Mountain Cave is simply a pipe dream. However, no matter how stubborn their temper or how fierce their personality, reality is still difficult.

Haishan Cave can be said to be pressing forward step by step, gradually taking down some of the strongholds outside Flying Eagle Fortress. Whether it is the furthest shops in the city or the nearest branch in Eagle Flying Town, they have all been breached.

Su Zhengxiong was in great distress. Flying Eagle Fortress was now completely out of the loop. Su Tiefeng should have arrived a day ago to find Hong Gu, but she was nowhere to be found. He didn't want to think about those terrifying things, but now he had no choice but to prepare for the worst.

"Lord, the food we have left in the fortress is only enough to last seven days. If we don't receive reinforcements soon, I'm afraid we really will..."

"Don't worry, Tiefeng has already gone to find Honggu. As long as we hold on for one more day, once Honggu arrives, the people from Haishan Cave will have to leave, even if they don't want to."

Although Su Zhengxiong was somewhat worried, he appeared calm and composed. He did not show his worries, but instead used his words to calm the concerns of others and stabilize the morale of the troops.

"Lord, Lord... reinforcements have arrived! Reinforcements have arrived!"

Just when everyone was at a loss and only hoped that Su Tiefeng and Hong Gu could arrive as soon as possible, they unexpectedly heard another piece of good news, and it was even more exciting news.

"Which sect has come to our aid?"

"Lingzang Sword Sect. The Lingzang Sword Sect of Tianfeng City."

"What did you say?" Upon hearing this disciple's words, not only the surrounding disciples and the elders of Flying Eagle Fortress, but even Su Tiefeng was shocked and stood up.

Although the Lingzang Sword Sect is not the strongest force in Binzhou, it is one of the few forces in Binzhou that can rival the Haishan Cave. It also has two innate experts.

At this moment, the support from the Lingzang Sword Sect could be said to have sealed the fate of Haishan Cave and foreshadowed the victory of Flying Eagle Fortress. However, at this moment, Su Zhengxiong calmed down.

Previously, Flying Eagle Fortress and Lingzang Sword Sect had maintained a completely separate relationship, with no interaction whatsoever. But now, they've unexpectedly come to their aid. Forget about all this talk of righteous heroes helping a brother out. Everyone knows what's going on in the martial world; many are already itching to take a bite out of Flying Eagle Fortress after its destruction.

At this time, they still need to come here to support them. Su Zhengxiong simply doesn't believe that they have no demands.

"Lord Su, I heard that your place has been bullied by evil spirits and heretics, so I came to help. I hope Lord Su will not be angry that I am late."

Just as everyone was happy to have reinforcements, they heard a deep, resonant voice filled with internal energy coming from outside the door.

"So it's Elder Ling. I was unaware of your presence. I apologize for not greeting you properly."

The other party's voice was like a show of force, reaching everyone's ears. Although it seemed harmless, if no one could respond in this way, it would only make people look down on Flying Eagle Fortress.

So even though Su Zhengxiong was still inside the main hall, his voice had already reached the ears of the Lingzang Sword Sect members who had just arrived at the gate of Flying Eagle Fortress.

The old man, known as Elder Ling, nodded after hearing Su Zhengxiong's answer. "I didn't expect there to be some experts in Flying Eagle Fortress. When you get there, you must not act rashly. We came here to ask Ling Yang to marry the little girl next to Su Mengsha."

“Elder, I don’t understand. How old is Junior Brother Lingyang? He’s already looking for a wife. Besides, that girl is only a teenager. She’s still a child.”

"Hmm? You dare disobey the sect leader's orders? Besides, that Lin Xueyi displayed remarkable poetic skills at the poetry gathering. Wouldn't she be a perfect match for our sect leader's son?"

Elder Ling glanced at the disciples who seemed somewhat resentful. Of course, he didn't think it was right to make a big fuss over a little girl at this critical juncture for an unrelated force, but since the sect leader had given the order, he had no choice but to come over.

"I wonder what that girl named Lin Xueyi looks like. If she's not pretty, I'm afraid Ling Yang will cause trouble again."

"Ha, isn't that great? It just so happens that the kid is currently learning swordsmanship. If he finds out he has a little wife, he might even learn it all at once."

Elder Ling could only shake his head helplessly at the obvious gloating sounds from his disciples. As for the people from Haishan Cave who had been following him, he simply waved his sleeve, and a strong gust of wind rose from the ground, forcing them to temporarily take cover.

The gates of Flying Eagle Fortress slowly opened, and they saw the people from Flying Eagle Fortress who had come to pick them up. The leader was none other than the lord of Flying Eagle Fortress—Iron Claw Divine Eagle Su Zhengxiong.

"Lord Su, it is an honor to meet you. Our Lingcang Sword Sect heard that the demons and monsters of Haishan Cave dared to attack Flying Eagle Fortress, so we came here to support Flying Eagle Fortress. However, the journey is long and we are too late to arrive. Please forgive us."

He was being very polite. If you asked Su Zhengxiong if he didn't have his own ulterior motives, he would never believe it. But now that the other party had arrived, and was a guest, he naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to expose him.

"I am deeply grateful for the assistance of the Lingzang Sword Sect. How could I possibly blame you heroes for arriving late? Tea and refreshments have been prepared in the main hall. Please come and enjoy them."

"In that case, we thank you."

He waved to the dozens of disciples he had brought and slowly walked into the huge fortress, while Elder Ling quietly lagged behind, walking side by side with Su Zhengxiong.

"Elder Ling, is there something you want to tell me?"

Seeing Elder Ling's actions, Su Zhengxiong naturally knew that the other party must have something to discuss with him in advance, so he signaled the others to contact the Ling Cangjian Sect people first, while he and Elder Ling would talk about business in the back.

Those from the Lingzang Sword Sect naturally knew what their elders and this Su Zhengxiong Fortress Master were talking about, so they smiled and walked towards the main hall with the disciples of the Flying Eagle Fortress.

They didn't find the matter troublesome at all. She was just a little girl they'd picked up from outside, and she was in such a useful situation that they had no right to refuse. The issue they were discussing now was probably the dowry.

Chapter 42 Xueyi Wants to Be a Child Bride? Heh!

"Xueyi, our Flying Eagle Fortress is just ahead. It's just strange that the people in the Sea Mountain Cave are holding back and not causing us any more trouble."

Holding Lin Xueyi in her arms, Su Mengsha pointed to the magnificent fortress not far away, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet my father in a while. I originally wanted you to learn the martial arts of Flying Eagle Fortress from us, but you don't think much of it now, do you?"

Hong Gu remained silent, still immersed in Lin Xueyi's astonishing palm strike. "Riding the Six Dragons"—that must be the name of that move. With the power of a single palm strike, she defeated three Innate Realm experts. Even top-tier Innate Realm experts couldn't do that.
