The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun.

The person who was refuted also said, "Since the other side has experts guarding the mountain, then we will also organize experts to attack the mountain."

They have several thousand people on their side. Although most of them are not very skilled in martial arts, there are quite a few experts, and they can even gather a lot of top-notch fighters.

"Island Master Sima, Chief Shi."

At this moment, Ji Wushi stepped forward and spoke to the two of them.

"In my opinion, it would be very difficult to attack Mount Hua from the front. Perhaps we could try to attack it from other places."

"Other places?"

Sima frowned.

"But Mount Hua has sheer cliffs on three sides. How can we get up here from anywhere else?"

Ji Wushi smiled upon hearing this and said, "I observed Mount Hua during the day and went to the back of the North Peak. I found that although it is steep there, the terrain is perhaps a little more manageable compared to the other sides."

Upon hearing this, Sima Da frowned and remained silent, looking at the others.

The others remained silent, lost in thought.

"You can give it a try."

"That's what Chief Shi said."

When others saw that someone had offered an opinion, and since they didn't have any better solutions, they all said they could give it a try.

Ji Wushi smiled upon seeing this.

He had originally intended to say these things during the day, but after being rebuffed by that brute, he coldly watched them suffer. He wouldn't make these brutes listen unless they were taught a lesson.

Ji Wushi only spoke again after they had suffered a great loss.

Chapter 194: The Emotional Expert

"In that case, let's take a break for now."

After attacking for several hours, it was already late at night. Now it was dark and the road was steep, so we couldn't make any progress. We'll have to wait until tomorrow morning.

"Dispose of the bodies properly."

After reaching an agreement, Chief Shi of the Jiujiang White Dragon Gang ordered his men to dispose of the bodies of those who had been burned to death under the Thousand-Foot Cliff.

"Yes, boss."

Upon hearing this, the members of the White Dragon Gang bowed and agreed, and then went to the foot of the Thousand-Foot Cliff to carry the corpse.

As soon as they approached, a strong, acrid smell filled the air. Piles of charred corpses caused many people to gag. Even when they covered their noses with cloth, the smell still assaulted their nostrils. In the end, they had no choice but to hold their breath and carry the corpses away.

"vomit!"

One of the gang members approached a corpse and immediately vomited.

The corpse was half burned; the body wasn't charred, but half of the face had melted, and the features were fused together. Upon seeing this, the gang member couldn't help but vomit.

"Brothers, brothers."

At this moment, several martial arts figures came over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Let us help you."

The gang member looked grateful.

"Thanks, bro."

Upon hearing this, the martial arts figures chuckled, their smiles somewhat sinister.

"It's alright, let's lend a hand."

The White Dragon Gang member and the others carried the corpse away and never returned.

"After dawn, I will go around to the back of the North Peak to scout the way. Tomorrow morning, you can continue to attack Qianchizhuang, making the enemy think we have no other options. Then we will launch a surprise attack."

Ji Wushi smiled and said, "However, the attack doesn't need to be too fierce. The purpose is to distract them. Just let them know that we've been down the mountain without making any other moves."

Unaware that his gang members had vanished without a trace, Gang Leader Shi replied, "Alright."

After agreeing on their strategy, these martial arts figures from various places began to camp at the foot of the mountain, waiting to launch a new offensive the next day.

"The Holy Envoy has arrived!"

Just then, a group of figures moved in the distance, and a sharp voice rang out. The Four Immortals of Peach Valley swaggered over.

"Your subordinate pays respects to the Holy Envoy."

Sima Da, Ji Wushi, and others immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

When the Four Immortals of Peach Valley saw a large group of people kneeling respectfully before them, a smug and excited smile appeared on their faces.

Peach Leaf Fairy whispered to the other Peach Root Fairies, "Big Brother, it's so prestigious to be a Holy Envoy!"

Tao Genxian whispered: "Shh."

Approaching the crowd, Tao Genxian cleared his throat, puffed out his chest, and raised his head, feigning authority as he asked, "How did it go?"

Sima Daxiao cautiously replied, "Your Majesty, the enemy is too tenacious, and we have not yet been able to advance."

"what?"

Tao Ganxian's eyes widened, and he became anxious: "Then hurry up!"

Sima Da replied nervously, "Your Majesty, please allow me to report that Mount Hua has a steep terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The enemy is guarding the top of the Thousand-Foot Cliff. We have been attacking for several hours and have suffered hundreds of casualties, but we are still helpless."

Seeing the result, the Four Immortals of Peach Valley lost their attention. They thought that so many people could easily defeat a single Huashan, but they did not expect this situation.

The Four Immortals of Peach Valley lost their bearings and panicked, running around in circles. Forgetting all about maintaining their composure, they hurriedly asked, "What should we do?"

After General Sima explained the results of their discussion, the Four Immortals of Peach Valley were relieved and beamed with joy.

"That's good, that's good, let's do it your way."

Seeing the four people's emotions change so quickly, like children, Sima Da and the others felt a little strange, but still nodded and said, "Yes."

"Alright, you can continue. Report any new developments immediately."

After saying a few words in his usual serious manner, Tao Genxian left with his three brothers.

"Respectfully seeing off the Holy Envoy."

Sima Da and the others remained kneeling on the ground and shouted, only standing up after the four left.

"..."

"..."

Everyone looked at each other.

After a while.

The leader of the White Dragon Gang, Shi, couldn't help but frown and say something.

"These four holy envoys..."

He didn't say it explicitly, but others like Sima Da and Ji Wushi already knew what he meant.

'How could the Holy Maiden send these four naive people as holy envoys...?'

Ji Wushi frowned as he watched the departing figures of the Four Immortals of Peach Valley.

Logically speaking, this siege of Mount Hua by martial arts practitioners was the biggest event in the past decade or so of unifying the martial arts world. In such a grand occasion, the Holy Maiden should definitely have come out to take charge. Even if she didn't show up herself, she would have sent a trusted confidant with exceptional intelligence to lead them. However, the Holy Maiden not only didn't show up herself, but also appointed these four people as Holy Envoys without giving any orders, leaving them like a disorganized mess, as if she deliberately sent them to their deaths.

This strange behavior aroused Ji Wushi's suspicion.

He was not alone in having doubts, but the tokens in the hands of these four people were genuine, and they could only swallow their suspicions.

Completely baffled, Ji Wushi shook his head and then walked aside to prepare for scouting the route early the next morning.

……

"Junior brother, it seems they won't be coming up for the time being."

Linghu Chong approached and looked down at the pitch-black Thousand-Foot Cliff, but there was still no movement.

It was already past midnight, and many disciples from the three sects were too sleepy to stay awake and leaned against the rocks to rest. Only Ning Zhongze, the Taoist of Tianmen, and Master Dingyi, among others, were not sleepy at all.

Compared to their disciples, they cared more about the outcome of this battle.

"Probably."

Jiang Ning was adjusting his breathing to relax his body, and when he heard Linghu Chong's words, he simply replied casually.

He was not mentally fatigued and had plenty of energy. Even now, his physical condition was excellent. Given his condition, if the group of people down the mountain continued to attack as before, he could hold out for another day without any problem.

Linghu Chong observed Jiang Ning up close and suddenly noticed something was wrong.

He noticed that Jiang Ning's breathing was strange, rhythmically beating in a peculiar way.

This is a breathing technique. Linghu Chong found that this breathing technique was somewhat similar to the Zixia Divine Skill, but also somewhat different. He couldn't quite put his finger on the differences.

However, although Linghu Chong felt something was strange, he was more concerned about something else.

"Junior brother, why do you think junior sister is angry with me?"

"what?"

Jiang Ning, who was adjusting his breathing, was also momentarily bewildered upon hearing Linghu Chong's words.

Is he being treated like a relationship expert?

Is it appropriate to ask him this kind of question, given that he's destined to be single forever?

Seeing Jiang Ning's surprised look, Linghu Chong felt a little embarrassed.

He knew it was inappropriate to ask this question now, but he felt too uncomfortable if he didn't ask.

For some reason, Linghu Chong always had a mysterious trust in Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning did not answer, but asked, "How did you meet Senior Sister Yilin last year, Senior Brother? What happened in the process?"
