Volume 3: Qiongzhou ? Wu Xing Volume Chapter 12: Blood Light White Emperor Temple

  On the ninth day, he couldn't help but ask: "Seventh Uncle, why were the demonic sect people so quiet in the White Emperor Temple earlier?"

  "Ah, the Demon Sect never expected to be ambushed by the Kunlun and Wudang sects today. In order to avoid detection, they didn't even dare to post sentries outside the sect. It's likely that the Demon Sect only began to set up defenses after the Kunlun and Wudang sects had already surrounded the White Emperor Temple." Mr. Chu Qi saw that Lin Fei'er and Chu Jiu's faces were both pale, naturally because they were witnessing the brutality of the martial world for the first time, and he let out a sigh.

  He suddenly felt a sense of disgust with the Jianghu, the righteous path, the evil path, the killings, the sneak attacks, and it was all just a thrill.

  On the ninth day of awakening, it seemed to be muttering to himself: "That is to say, there are traitors in the demonic sect?"

  "But... but, such a sudden siege, it seems... how..." Lin Meng'er heard the faint cries of agony from afar, although they were low and continuous, her teeth chattered as she spoke.

  At the beginning of the ninth hour, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and slowly calmed down. Far away, the sound of killing in the temple grew more intense, but he was hundreds of meters away and couldn't hear it clearly. Lin Meng'er's internal strength was even weaker than before, and she could only hear a faint cry for help!

  "This demonic sect has been lurking for nearly twenty years, and everyone's martial arts should have made great progress. I didn't expect that in the midst of chaos, they could still set up the 'Six Harmonies Heavenly Demon Formation'. It seems that the disciples of the Kongtong Sect and Wudang Sect will not be lightly wounded either!" Mr. Chu Qi's internal strength was several times higher than that of the initial nine, but he could still hear the sound of distant weapons and the continuous sound of wooden arrows and poisonous water arrows coming from afar. He knew that the disciples of the Kongtong Sect and Wudang Sect did not have such weapons or hidden instruments, so it was naturally the demonic sect's disciples who set up the "Six Harmonies Heavenly Demon Formation" to injure people with arrows.

  Qī Jiù Qí Dào: "Seventh Uncle, what power does this 'Six Harmonies Heaven Demon Array' possess?"

  "Master Chu Qi said: "The Demon Sect's 'Six Quavers Heaven Demon Array' has six layers of changes, winding and interconnected, based on the five elements' changes to practice and become. The five halls of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are controlled by ten great elders, each with their own strengths. The Wu Jin Hall is skilled in using hidden weapons to kill enemies, while the Lie Huo Hall's black oil stone liquid can turn everything it touches into ashes. If the Demon Sect's ten great elders were to join forces, their power would be enormous!"

  Lin Meng'er disliked the sight of blood, but she was also worried about the righteous path's cultivators. She couldn't help but worry: "Then, isn't the demonic sect's power extraordinary this time? The righteous path's cultivators will suffer heavy casualties?"

  Mr. Chu Qi sighed and said, "Alas, only today, I think that in the White Emperor Temple, there are only two disciples of the Red Wood Hall and the Black Water Hall, and their power can only be exerted to less than one-fifth, far from posing a threat to Fei Sha Dao people, Dugu Xixin and others, unless there is a Demon Sect elder inside!"

  He finished speaking, but was also shocked in his heart, thinking: "But even with just one-fifth of the power, it can still resist the attacks of Dugu Xiong, Chu Feiyan, Cheng Man and Wudang's Fei Sandao for so long. The strength of the Demon Sect is indeed extraordinary!"

  Lin Meng'er asked in a trembling voice: "Seventh Uncle, will the Demon Sect be able to escape this disaster today?"

  "It's probably...can't be helped! Alas, inside must be a bloodbath by now! It seems that this demonic sect's power will likely be annihilated today!" Mr. Chu Qi knew that the Kunlun Sect's Du Gu Xiong, Heng Fan, Cheng Man and the Wu Dang Sect's Fei Sha Dao Ren were all top-notch experts in the Jianghu, with a large number of people, and had launched a surprise attack, catching the demonic sect off guard, and the demonic sect's defensive array was incomplete, so naturally, the righteous path would ultimately win. However, he saw that the demonic sect's followers only had the intention to fight to the death, without any pleas for mercy, and couldn't help but feel a sense of regret, saying in a low voice...

  On the ninth, he also couldn't bear it in his heart and said in a low voice: "Seventh Uncle, I've been listening to Master Wu Shang since I was young. In the righteous way, once you encounter a demonic cult, you should eliminate them on the spot. I want to ask, are the people of the demonic cult really the most evil villains?"

  Lin Meng'er also said: "Yes, in these ten or so years, Fifth Master and the other masters would mention the Demon Sect with gritted teeth, saying that they are the worst people in the world! My brother and I have been taught this way since we were young, that good and evil cannot coexist. I'm afraid that if we encounter the Demon Sect, we will also draw our swords and fight to the death!" She finished speaking and shivered with fear.

  Mr. Chu sighed and remained silent for a long time, but after hearing the cries of agony from that side, he finally said, "Who can know? The world is like this! Righteous and evil, alas... This time, the righteous sect will also suffer heavy casualties!"

  Three people at a loss for words.

  Suddenly, a loud noise came from the west sky, and three flames exploded in the air one after another. Chu Jiu and Lin Meng'er were shocked, turned their heads to look back, and saw that one of them was the signal "Tian Hua Fei Shang Shan" of Diancang Sect. Chu Jiu estimated slightly, it seemed that the high-ranking officials of Diancang, Wudang, and Kunlun three sects were already within a dozen miles outside, and they were speeding up to rush towards this side.

  Lin Meng'er said: "I'm afraid, Father, that with the arrival of Kunlun's Sword Master and Wudang's Flowing Cloud Master, the orthodox sect will gain the upper hand!"

  Mr. Chu Qi looked at the signal, even more angrily, and said: "Such siege and sneak attack can't be considered as a good deed of a reputable family. If you have the ability, you should make an appointment to duel one-on-one, which is a fair and upright behavior! This is the orthodox way of a reputable family!"

  Chu Jiu and Lin Ming'er were both stunned, looking at each other in dismay, unable to comprehend why Mr. Chu Qi was so furious!

  Mr. Chu Qi said: "I really don't want to get involved in this muddy water, I'll leave first, you all wait here for your master and fellow disciples!"

  He said to Chūjiū and Lin Biànr, then mounted his donkey and headed south. It seemed that he was also disdainful of the two people he had been fond of for the past two days, Chūjiū and Lin Biànr.

  After a while, Mr. Chu Qi rode off on his donkey and horse, gradually disappearing into the distance, leaving no trace behind.

  It wasn't until much later that Lin Ming finally came to, and he saw the cold sweat dripping from Lin Meng's face. He pulled her hand up and whispered, "Sister, don't be afraid, it's okay, Master will arrive soon!"

  Lin Meng'er was extremely frightened in her heart, and now her small hand was held by Chu Jiu, a warm current surged up to her forehead, slowly calming down, but said: "Brother Shifu, let's go too. Such an ambush attack, I'm ashamed, when I see my father, I don't know how to face the four words of 'name door and right path'!"

  "Yes, we may have been separated for a long time, but this kind of sneak attack is not the way of dueling taught by Master Bo and Father!" Chi Kui nodded in agreement.

  Lin Meng'er said: "It's come to this, let's go too. We might as well catch up with Seventh Uncle and be together. These past two days of roaming the jianghu have been quite enjoyable!"

  At the ninth hour, he nodded his head. Although he didn't have any ideas, he naturally agreed with Lin Meng'er's words. He helped Lin Meng'er, who was still trembling with fear, onto her horse and stopped paying attention to the fight in the White Emperor Temple or the faint cries of agony that were still echoing in his ears. He mounted his own horse, clamped his legs around its body, and the two of them headed straight south, hoping to catch up with Mr. Chu Qi.

  Before they knew it, the two of them had run for several miles, but ahead was only a vast emptiness, and Mr. Chu Qi's figure had long since disappeared.

  The two of them, seeing the hatred and killing between the demonic sects and the orthodox sect for the first time, felt extremely disgusted. They let their horses run again for a while before proceeding slowly and aimlessly until they came to a fork in the road, where one path was an official road and the other a small path.

  Those two horses seemed to know their master's mind as well, and didn't want to walk on the bustling official road with many people. They simply tilted their heads and went towards a small path instead.

  Two people walked side by side, about three miles away, suddenly brightened up, raised their heads to see not far ahead, a river flowing horizontally in front of them, vast and majestic, it was the world's first river - the Yangtze River!

  Lin Meng'er couldn't help but praise: "Senior brother, look at this river water, it's really majestic!" Chu Jiu saw Lin Meng'er finally speak up and was overjoyed, hastily saying: "Yes, the number one river in the world is indeed like a raging dragon, it won't stop until it reaches the East Sea!"

  Two people were sighing, when suddenly, a series of horse hoof sounds came from behind, rushing quickly. Jiǔ and Lín Biàn'ér immediately pulled the reins to the side, yielding the way. The two turned their heads back to look, and in the distance, at the foot of the mountain's bend, was a swift horse rushing over. The horse's entire body was covered in blood, its white fur now completely crimson. It was clear that it was severely injured. On its back sat a person, embracing the horse's neck, with yellow clothes also stained red all over, apparently seriously wounded.

  But behind them were seven or eight riders in pursuit, and although Chiu-yu and Lin Ping-erh were far away, they both recognized the people on horseback. They were indeed the Chung Yuen Sect's "Red Practice Palm" Cheng Man and several disciples of the Chung Yuen Sect whom they had met at the temple in East City last night! Huang Lang Tzu was also among them!

  "Be careful, sister!" Zhuo Ji urged in a low voice. Lin Meng'er looked worried, fearing that this calamity would be unavoidable, and replied softly, "En!"

  The barbarian was getting closer and closer, constantly launching palm strikes in mid-air. He was already famous for his palm strength, and wherever his palms reached, a spicy wind would be stirred up, which could be felt even two meters away. Among them were several palms that landed squarely on the horse's buttocks under the yellow-robed man, who ran for dozens of yards before the horse finally collapsed, its hind legs kneeling down, letting out a long, mournful whinny as it fell to the ground, throwing its rider off its back.

  That man in yellow clothes rolled on the ground and stood up, his two sleeves and back were covered with sword marks, still bleeding continuously, his chest was shattered, leaving a large palm print, black flesh, but he was still agile, this time standing up, just standing beside Chunjiu and Lin Bi'er!
