Volume 3: Shu Zhong. Orthodox Evil Volume 1. Waiting for the Moon. Heaven and Earth Darkened Chapter 12: Helpless, Alarming Sight

  "Hmph, what's wrong with the demonic sect? What's so great about your esteemed schools? The demonic sect kills and sets fires, but does that mean they're completely devoid of conscience? Are your killings and arsons just natural disasters, meant to eliminate evil? When others launch sneak attacks, it's despicable and shameless, but when you do it, it's righteous and justified... Lin Meng'er recalled the sneak attack by the various schools at the White Emperor Temple that day, and her indignation flared up as she cut off He Zhuo's words: She was originally articulate and knowledgeable, with a strong sense of justice in her heart, so naturally her words flowed freely and eloquently!"

  She only mentioned that it was her senior fellow apprentice who saved the Silver Spear Elder by the Yangtze River, killing a disciple of the Kunlun Sect. She was afraid to continue speaking and quickly changed the subject: "Hmph, besides, what business is it of yours who the Devil Cult chooses as their new Holy Maiden? It's an internal matter of the Devil Cult, what does it have to do with you? You don't see the Devil Cult snooping around when you choose your sect leader. How did you find out so quickly? What good intentions do you have?" She knew that there was a traitor within the Devil Cult, and the two words "traitor" on the letter left behind by Silver Spear Elder before his death had shocked her. However, she didn't dare to speak up, knowing how cunning and intelligent she was, and how ruthless Lie Chi Yan was. If there were any clues, she feared that he would be able to infer the truth, so she stopped speaking and instead spoke sarcastically.

  "Hey, you little girl, the grudges of Jianghu, you're not young anymore, what are you talking about that you don't understand? Are you going to back down today or do I need to take action for the sake of the people in your so-called Demon Sect?" Hei Zhuo let out a sigh and said.

  Liu Hei Meng suddenly remembered what was written in the letter, and indeed felt a twinge of shame. On the ninth day, he coldly observed that Lie Chi Yan's expression remained unchanged, his eyes slightly closed as if he hadn't heard anything at all. This person's mind was unfathomable; who could understand the thoughts of a generation's leader?

  He Zhuo suddenly remembered the great war between Zheng Dao and Mo Jiao eighteen years ago, so he turned back to ask Lie Chi Yan: "Lie Zhangmen, eighteen years ago, after the new Holy Maiden was elected in Mo Jiao, she led the ten great elders of Mo Jiao to forcibly enter Zhongyuan. This time, could it be the same?"

  Lie Chi Yan seemed to have not heard his question, still only slightly furrowing her brow, as if thinking about something.

  Lin Meng'er had been used to calling it 'Demon Sect' for over a decade, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she said 'Demon Sect'. She hadn't even realized it herself, but now that He Zhuo had pointed it out, her face turned red. How could she possibly abandon Wu Gou Long Lao, Wan Dao Fu Ren, Bai Zhu Ye, and Xiao Qing?

  She has been following her father and Shifu since she was a child, so for everything, they are the ones who make decisions. Even for big things, they take responsibility. Now it's only natural that she would look to Chujiu and wait for him to speak up.

  Everyone saw Lin Meng'er's clear and handsome appearance, dressed in men's clothing, elegant and unparalleled. When speaking, she was innocent and lovely, unlike the usual image of a demonic cult member. Now seeing her expectantly looking at the unremarkable black-faced servant boy by her side, it seemed that this boy was her main concern. It was all strange, and their eyes involuntarily looked at Chu Jiu!

  The flames of passion, just then, went to see the ninth day, and as soon as they saw it, their eyes slightly narrowed, as if they had also trembled. This young man seemed crystal clear, yet seemed hazy at the same time. Why did he give him such a strange feeling?

  He didn't know that on that day, at the top of Cangshan Mountain, Kunlun Sword had also felt this way when he first saw Jian Wucheng!

  On the ninth day, my heart was also in a state of confusion. I was on Mount Cangyan, although my master and the old man from the back mountain rarely mentioned how to deal with the demonic sect, but my fifth uncle was always educating us on the mountain that the two factions of righteousness and evil could not coexist. The disciples of Cangyan, when encountering people from the demonic sect, would kill without pardon!

  It was only in the past few days that he had gone through Master Chu Qi, and now there were rumors of a Bone-Eating Dragon at the Eastern City Temple, the White Emperor Temple, the Long River Bank, the Heavenly Pit Earth Crack Demon Cult's treasure, the Fat Inheritance Fire Beast and other things, which made him waver in his distinction between good and evil. Now this important decision had to be made by himself, a young boy, what should he do!

  Everyone and his sister were staring at him with rapt attention, so he said: "Seniors, matters between the Orthodox and Devil Sects are not something that juniors like myself and my little sister should be talking about. But the vendetta in Honghu has been going on for generations, with revenge breeding more revenge - when will it ever end?"

  Good heavens! The two factions of Qingcheng disciples burst out laughing, and Liu Hei Meng laughed even louder: "You young man, so ignorant! In the Jianghu world, good is good, evil is evil. If you're in a righteous sect, you're righteous; once you enter the demonic path, you'll forever be demonic! How can they not be opposed to each other?"

  He had just heard the beginning of the ninth saying that the magic teaching was also said to be "magic teaching" two words, and then continued: "It turns out that you and your teacher's mouth are called magic teaching, it must not be a person in the magic teaching, so quickly retreat and let go!" "Everyone, I and Wu Gou Long Lao, Wan Dao Fu Ren have come all the way, deeply understanding that they are not great evil people, hoping that everyone can put down their weapons, talk well, and maybe the two paths of righteousness and magic can sit down to discuss and negotiate, resolve grievances! " Chu Jiu really couldn't bear to see both sides fighting, the tragic cries in the White Emperor City seemed still vivid in his ears, the scene of Yin Qiang Long Lao and the high-ranking officials of the Cang Tuan Sect being killed also seemed like it had just happened, knowing that such a proposal was extremely childish, but he wanted to try one last time, and continued to persuade.

  Liu Hei Meng snorted coldly and said, "Resolve the grudges? A hundred years of grudges? You young man, how dare you speak so loudly! Who do you think you are? Are you the master of Shaolin, Wudang or Emei? Or perhaps... Mount Wu?"

  As soon as the two words "Wu Shan" left his mouth, Lie Chi Yan suddenly turned his head, his sharp eyes scanned, and Liu Hei knew that his senior brother disliked him mentioning the two words "Wu Shan", so he immediately stopped talking.

  Lin Meng'er was puzzled and asked, "What can the leaders of Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei do?" He Zhuo burst out laughing and said, "Miss, you don't know? The leaders of Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei are the pillars of the martial arts world, Buddhism, and Taoism. If they say so, it's still worth considering. But you two young people speaking like this can only make a joke out of yourselves in front of everyone!"

  Lin Meng'er's face turned red again, and she asked, "What about Wu Shan?"

  He Jingbao's expression changed as soon as he heard the two words "Wu Shan". The smile on his face immediately turned serious, and he said: "Today, we will not discuss the sacred name of Wu Shan!"

  The disciples of Qingcheng and Congying, two sects that had been at odds for over a decade, were finally facing off against the demonic cult. For years, they had trained tirelessly on the mountain, awaiting this day. Their battle spirit was high, and they couldn't bear to listen to Chujiu's words. The sound of swords being drawn filled the air as they prepared to charge forward.

  The crowd erupted into a cacophony of shouts: "Are you going to leave or not?" Amidst the chaos, one young brother stood out for his calm demeanor. Though he hadn't made a move, an aura of divine light emanated from him, and his internal energy flowed freely throughout his body. It was clear that this young man's cultivation was exceptional, and few of his peers could match it.

  Liang Chiyan descended from the upper floor, only to discover that the black-clad youth was remarkably composed, with a subtle yet powerful flow of internal energy coursing through his veins. This was not something he had seen before in any of his own top disciples. He couldn't help but wonder: How could this be? The person who sent the flying letter hadn't mentioned anything about such a talented disciple...

  It wasn't until now that he realized the two people, Shi Xiong and his sister, were not actually disciples of the Devil Cult. Lie Huo Yan took a closer look at Shi Jiu and Lin Meng Er, and suddenly understood who they were affiliated with.

  Everyone saw the fierce red flame always high above, looking down on everyone, even ignoring Wu Gou and Madame Yanjian, but now suddenly had a spare heart, gently asking about the origin of this dark-faced young man, all were shocked.

  At the beginning of the ninth day, on the mountain, he heard Wang Shifu and the other brothers mention that Lie Chi Yan, the leader of the Kongtong Sect, was a vicious person, but his martial arts skills were truly among the best in the Taoist sect. The Nine Heavens Cultivation Method was also a top-notch technique in the Taoist school. Now, hearing him speak so humbly and politely was unexpected, and he felt honored and surprised. However, he wondered how Lie Chi Yan dared to reveal his own sect's secrets. He quickly bowed and said: "Senior, your words are truly excessive praise. How could my humble Taoist skills enter your eyes?"

  He was also afraid in his heart, thinking of the incident that happened on the banks of the Yangtze River. If the Kunlun School were to investigate, he and his fellow disciple would be no match for them. He himself might not mind dying or getting injured, but if his fellow disciple were to suffer injustice, how could he live with himself?

  After circling around, he gritted his teeth and continued: "Since junior brother and I just passed by here, everyone has already made up their minds. The great battle between the righteous and evil is unavoidable. I bid you farewell!"

  He finished speaking, pulled up Lin Meng'er's wrist and started walking away, wanting to go downstairs. He strongly restrained himself from looking at Wu Gou Lao Lao, Wan Dao Fu Ren, Bai Zhu Ye, Xiao Qing again. In his heart, he kept saying sorry to Wu Gou Lao Lao, Wan Dao Fu Ren, who both slightly lowered their heads, but in their hearts, there was not a single thread of blame!

  However, on the ninth day, he thought to himself that there must be masters from various sects nearby Emei, and he had to find someone to mediate as soon as possible! The Abbess of Emei Sect? Master Kong of Shaolin Temple?

  Just as he saw his senior brother and sister about to reach the staircase, he suddenly heard another voice ringing out, which was Lie Chi Yan saying: "Wait!"

  Lin Meng'er stopped in her tracks, and Leng Qiu continued coldly, "Why must you hurry so? The magical treasure that emerged from the earth crack may be on one of you!"

  Wu Gou's old man, Wan Dao's wife, at the beginning of the 9th day, Lin Meng'er suddenly felt a chill in her heart, as if she had arrived in the harsh winter of the North Pole. Even though they had brought the magical treasure with them on this trip, it was unthinkable that Lie Chi Yan would know about it.

  Liu Hei Meng suddenly remembered what Dugu brother said in his letter, and hastily called out to the two sworn brothers at the staircase, who then went to pull away Chu Jiu and Lin Man Er with their swords.

  On the ninth day, Lin Ming'er is now in a situation where he can't even escape by running and has no choice but to fight. As a direct disciple of the prestigious Mount Hua Sect, he is unexpectedly forced to join forces with the demonic sect's elder to counter two major righteous sects?

  A great war is imminent, on the verge of breaking out!

  The outcome of this war? Only heaven knows!

  Who was it that betrayed the Demon Sect?
