Chapter 441 Under the Blackwood Cliff
A group of thirty-six cavalrymen, each equipped with bows, crossbows and muskets, led by Zuo Lengchan, traveled quickly all the way and it took them five days to reach Xingxing Beach.
In front of me is a long beach with fast-flowing water and blood-red rocks. It looks dangerous and strange.
“Is this the entrance to the Black Wood Cliff of the Demon Cult?” Yue Buqun stroked his beard, looking a little solemn.
"Yes," Mo Da nodded and said, "I have seen the description in the notes left by the elders of the sect, and it is exactly the same as the scenery in front of me."
At this point, the two couldn't help but look at Zuo Lengchan, wondering how he knew such a secret location.
Zuo Lengchan smiled and said with some regret: "To be honest with you, Junior Brothers, I once thought that after unifying the Five Mountains Sword School, I would attack Black Wood Cliff and decide the outcome in one battle, so that the Five Mountains Sword Schools would be on par with Shaolin and Wudang."
"It can be considered as preparing for a rainy day. While I was planning the merger of the Five Mountains, I was also looking for the location of the Black Wood Cliff. Unfortunately, life is unpredictable. The plans before the age of sixty were blown away like smoke. However, it also allowed me to achieve another career. This uncle is a little different from the leader of the Five Mountains!"
Yue Buqun and Mo Da looked at each other again. They both thought that Zuo Lengchan was so boring. It was as if he was afraid that others didn't know that he was a noble now. With just a glance, he would bring up the topic of title.
Mo Da couldn't help but ask, "Then will Alliance Leader Zuo's plan to merge the Five Mountains still be implemented?"
Zuo Lengchan laughed heartily: "Hahaha, I think being the commander of Liaodong is more challenging than being the leader of the Five Mountains. If Junior Brother Mo is interested in merging factions, I, Songshan, fully support it."
Yue Buqun almost pulled out a few hairs of his beard. This old guy is so shameless!
However, his son Zuo Ting seems to be average. He should train his son Yue Lingfeng well, and hope that he can surpass Zuo Ting one day and then suppress Zuo Lengchan's arrogance.
Going further north from Xingxing Beach, there are stone walls on both sides, with only a stone path about five feet wide that can be used for passage. Cavalry naturally cannot enter, but Zuo Lengchan, Yue Buqun, and Mo Da are all highly skilled in martial arts, so they simply let the cavalry wait where they are, and they take their disciples with them to continue forward.
When they reached a checkpoint, a dozen or so disciples of the Demon Sect saw three strange old men with extraordinary temperaments and three young men approaching. They immediately picked up their weapons, pointed at the three people and shouted, "Do you six know where this is? Are you looking for death?"
Cheng Baiyu saw that his master and uncle's faces darkened, and he immediately said, "Master, why don't I go and talk to them first!"
"Well, go ahead!" Mo Da nodded and agreed.
Cheng Baiyu stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Everyone, this is the leader of the Five Mountains, the head of the Songshan Sect, Master Zuo, this is the head of the Huashan Sect, Mr. Junzi Jianyue, and this is the head of the Hengshan Sect, Mr. Xiaoxiang Yeyu Moda. I am Cheng Baiyu from Hengshan, and we have come to Blackwood Cliff specifically to visit your sect's leader Ren to discuss important matters."
"Hahaha, he's Zuo Lengchan? I'm still Ou Zanghua, one of the Three Great Masters of Hengshan!"
"Then I am the elegant young hero of Mount Hua, Linghu Chong!"
"Hahaha"
Looking at the disciples of the Demon Sect who were laughing loudly, Cheng Baiyu snorted coldly, kicked off his feet and rushed forward. He pulled out a long sword from somewhere, and with a flick of the sword, he knocked out all the teeth of the man who was talking nonsense.
When the others saw this, they became furious and rushed forward with their weapons raised.
Cheng Baiyu was not afraid at all. His long sword appeared and disappeared mysteriously, seemingly in a disorderly manner, but in fact it contained hidden tricks, and he often struck out from places that the opponent did not expect.
In just a few breaths, the weapons of several people were knocked to the ground by Cheng Baiyu.
He turned around, sheathed his sword, and said in a cold voice: "This time I am only teaching you a lesson. If there is a next time, I will kill you without mercy!"
There were also some knowledgeable people among these people. They looked at Cheng Baiyu in surprise and asked, "Are you really the Hengshan White Knight Cheng Baiyu?!"
"My name remains unchanged, it's me!" Cheng Baiyu said indifferently.
Everyone was shocked, and then they realized that what the young man said was true, so the three people behind him.
Thinking of this, one of them cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry for the offense just now. I'll go and inform the messenger in the church. You all wait here."
Cheng Baiyu snorted coldly, returned to Mo Da and explained the situation to him.
"Then wait!" Zuo Lengchan said, looking at Cheng Baiyu and gently said: "Junior Brother Cheng's Hundred Changes and Thousand Illusions Hengshan Clouds and Mist Thirteen Styles are well practiced, but they lack a bit of freedom. It's better to be braver."
"Be braver." Cheng Baiyu looked bewildered after hearing this.
Zuo Lengchan did not say anything more. After all, he was a disciple of Mo Da, and it would be bad to say too much. Moreover, there was a true genius in Hengshan Sect. If Cheng Baiyu could not figure it out, he could go to the capital to ask their senior brother for advice.
At this moment, in the Wencheng Hall of Heimu Cliff, Ren Yingying sat on a high place, listening to the twelve hall masters of the Sun and Moon Sect and the master of the Seven-Colored Flag reporting on their work.
Although Dongfang Bubai of the Sun Moon Sect is dead, the righteous martial arts world has also lost two great masters, Fang Zheng and Chongxu. In addition, Zuo Lengchan does not interfere in the affairs of the martial arts world, so to some extent, the Sun Moon Sect has become stronger.
However, Ren Yingying is different from Dongfang Bubai's laissez-faire approach. It can be said that she is concerned about everything, which in turn restrains the followers and prevents them from doing anything big.
Linghu Chong was leaning leisurely on the seat below Ren Yingying. As the leader's companion and the Left Envoy of the Light, he had never been interested in the affairs of the sect. The reason why he was here now was also because of Ren Yingying's request.
After all, he is now the number one master in the Sun Moon Sect, and his strength is enough to make everyone below sit down and report their work calmly.
At this time, a member of the sect came running in, bowed and said, "Reporting to the leader, Yue Alliance Leader, Songshan Sect Leader Zuo Lengchan, Huashan Sect Leader Gentleman Sword Yue Buqun, Hengshan Sect Leader Xiaoxiang Yeyu Moda, and their disciples have come to pay a visit!"
Linghu Chong, who was originally listless, suddenly sat up after hearing his master's name and asked excitedly, "Are you serious?!"
The disciple turned to Linghu Chong and said, "In reply to the Left Envoy, the identities of the disciples at the first checkpoint have been confirmed."
"Yingying, I'll go down and pick up Master, Uncle Zuo, and Mr. Mo Da!" Linghu Chong looked at Ren Yingying and said happily.
Ren Yingying looked calm, with various thoughts flashing through her mind. She first asked the Twelve Hall Masters and the Seven-Colored Flag Master to leave, and then she looked at the member of the sect and asked, "How many people are there in Mr. Zuo's group?"
The disciple replied, "Six people, in addition to Mr. Zuo, Mr. Yue, and Mr. Mo Da, there are also Qianzhangsong·Shi Dengda, Liuhouer·Lu Dayou, and Hengshan White Knight·Cheng Baiyu."
Ren Yingying smiled and said softly, "The three gentlemen are all Chong's elders, so it is only natural for them to come down the mountain to greet you. I will make some arrangements on the mountain so that I can entertain you three."
"Yingying, thank you!" Linghu Chong was very moved and immediately turned around and left Wencheng Hall.
After Ren Yingying lowered her head and pondered for a moment, she finally gave up the plan to ambush the swordsmen and axemen in the hall.
She had seen Zuo Lengchan's strength. Ordinary masters could not do anything to him. If he escaped, Heimu Cliff would inevitably face a devastating disaster.
After making the decision, she simply acted more openly and ordered people to pull open the curtains in the hall to let the sunlight in.
In this way, the furnishings in the hall can be seen at a glance, and there is not much room for people to hide.
After Linghu Chong got down to the bottom of the cliff in the hanging basket, he used his Qinggong to run all the way to the first checkpoint. When he saw his master and fellow apprentice, he was even happier: "Master, you finally came to see me."
Yue Buqun looked at Linghu Chong with an expression as awkward as if he had eaten shit. He really couldn't understand why the eldest disciple he had raised since childhood had become involved with the evil cult.
If there is something wrong with my education, why is my daughter so well-behaved?
I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out at all.
Mo Da, who was standing by, saw that the atmosphere was a bit dull, so he said, "It's been a while since we last met, Young Master Linghu is still as charming as ever!"
"Hello, Mr. Mo Da!" Linghu Chong hurriedly bowed and saluted, then looked at Zuo Lengchan and greeted him awkwardly, "Hello, Master Zuo."
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a little, Lu Dayou mustered up the courage to step forward and chat with his senior brother Linghu Chong. However, he was confused as to why his senior brother had such a problem with the Demon Cult.
At this time, Cheng Baiyu saw that Linghu Chong seemed to be planning to have a long chat with Lu Dayou, so he had to politely interrupt him and reminded him, "Young Master Linghu, my master, Master Zuo, and Master Yue are here in person today to discuss important matters with Master Ren. I hope Young Master Linghu can lead the way?"
Linghu Chong heard this and smiled heartily, and quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, I almost missed something important. Master, Uncle Zuo, Mr. Mo Da, please follow me."
I took the wrong key when I went out today. After picking up my son, the father and son were locked outside the door. They waited until my wife came home before entering the house. I didn't have enough time to write two chapters, so there is only one chapter. Sorry.
