Shi Potian travels through Linghu Chong

Chapter 69 The fish takes the bait
When the people in Hengshan heard Yue Lingshan's guess, they were all stunned, with shock and disbelief on their faces.

The Songshan Sect taking advantage of others' misfortune to sow discord was already the worst they could imagine, and they never thought that the Songshan Sect might be the culprit.

Yue Lingshan also added: "Master, these are just my guesses, not necessarily the truth. It's just that all this is too coincidental, and Master Zhong Zhen's behavior is too abnormal, it's hard not to be suspicious."

Master Dingjing had never thought about this before, but after Yue Lingshan's reminder, the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. She felt a chill on her back and her hands and feet were cold. She was shocked and angry, and she wanted to go to Zhong Zhen immediately to find out what was going on.

But she knew that if she really did that, she would completely break off relations with the Songshan Sect. Regardless of whether this was true or false, the other party might attack her directly.

The situation will only get worse!
Nun Dingjing took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and said, "My dear niece, there is no need to explain. I understand everything you said. Your guess is indeed possible."

"After we received the Five Mountains Alliance Leader's Order from Zuo Lengchan, we immediately set out to Mount Hua. The Demon Cult shouldn't have gotten the news so quickly and summoned so many experts to ambush us. On the contrary, if the Songshan Sect had planned to do something, it would have been much easier."

"I just can't understand why the situation in the martial arts world has only improved slightly, but Alliance Leader Zuo is acting so recklessly and sapping the power of the righteous martial arts world. Isn't he afraid of a counterattack from the Demon Cult? By then, let alone the Five Mountains Sect Leader, I'm afraid he won't even be able to save his Songshan Sect."

Yue Lingshan understood the principle of overdoing it, so she didn't say anything more. Instead, she said, "Perhaps I am overthinking. Senior Master Zhong Zhen is just anxious to promote the merger of the Five Mountains, and he is not the mastermind behind it."

Yiyuan, as the eldest disciple of Master Dingjing, always said whatever he thought, and said: "Impossible. Master, you said that 'greed can blind people's minds'. Zhong Zhen can ignore the Five Mountains alliance and take advantage of others' misfortune to sow discord. Zuo Lengchan may not do such a thing to harm his fellow Taoists and disregard the overall situation just for the position of the head of the Five Mountains."

Master Dingjing said, "That's enough. Before the truth comes out, they are still your uncles and aunts. Don't say these words anymore."

"Master."

Yiyuan was about to say something, but Yue Lingshan stopped her and said, "Senior Sister Yiyuan, whether those demons from the evil sect at the foot of the mountain are disguised by people from the Songshan Sect or not, it makes no difference to us. The most important thing for us now is to find a way to break out. Other things can wait. After all, the truth will come out sooner or later."

Yue Lingshan picked up a branch, drew a few simple strokes on the ground, and said: "Uncle, before my senior brother and I went up the mountain, we secretly observed the situation of those demons from the demon sect. There are a total of eighty-seven of them guarding the front, forty-nine of them..."

Yue Lingshan first talked about the situation of the members of the Demon Cult, and then brought up the affairs of the Songshan Sect.

"We didn't see anyone from the Songshan Sect when we came. They may have disguised themselves as demons from the Demon Sect, or they may have nothing to do with this matter and we just didn't encounter them. But, no matter what, we must be more careful."

Master Dingjing looked at the simple and clear diagram and could not help but nod her head repeatedly, praising: "I heard from Junior Sister Dingyi earlier that Master Yue of Huashan Sect is a famous teacher and has raised a good disciple and a good daughter, both of whom are rare young talents in the martial arts world. Seeing it today, it is indeed true."

Yue Lingshan was about to say something humble when she suddenly saw the mountainside light up. It turned out that the members of the Demon Cult had lit up bonfires. The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the area of ​​several hundred meters in radius.

Immediately afterwards, the masked and black-clad members of the Demon Cult pushed a dozen Hengshan disciples who were tied up to the fire.

"That's Senior Sister Yi Guang. She, she's still alive!"

"And Senior Sister Yiwen and Senior Sister Yifeng...they are not dead!"

……

The people in Hengshan are simple-minded. When they see that their fellow disciples who they thought were dead are still alive, they all show joy on their faces.

Only Master Dingjing guessed what these evil cult members wanted to do. Her face turned ashen, and she stared at the captured Hengshan disciples. Veins popped out of her right hand as she gripped the sword.

Sure enough, a tall and thin demon sect member who was as thin as a bamboo pole jumped onto a large rock in front of the fire and said loudly: "Dingjing, I heard that you Buddhists like to cremate the dead, and those who are deeply versed in Buddhism can even burn out relics. How many of your disciples do you think can be burned out?"

The Hengshan disciples only then realized what the demon cult members were going to do. They were terrified and panicked: "Master (Uncle Master)."

Master Dingjing shouted sternly: "Everyone, be quiet."

The Hengshan disciples had never seen their master so stern before, and they dared not say anything. They just looked nervously at their fellow disciples who had been captured.

The tall and thin man waited for a while and saw no response, so he continued to shout, "Dingjing, I'll count to three. If you don't answer, I'll throw one in and try it first." He turned around and winked.

A member of the Demon Cult behind him immediately made a move to push the Hengshan disciple in front of him into the fire.

Nun Dingjing could no longer bear it, so she mobilized her inner strength and said through gritted teeth, "What do you want me to answer you? You are such a shameless and hopeless person. You should have been sent to the Avici Hell to pay for your sins and be reborn as an animal to work like a cow or a horse in the next life. It's a waste of words to scold you."

"Listen carefully. Although all of my Hengshan disciples are girls, they are no worse than any man in the world. You can kill them if you want. You can dream of making us surrender with such a trick."

Many Hengshan disciples already had tears in their eyes, but after hearing these words, they clenched their teeth to hold back the tears, with a look of firmness and determination on their faces.

Shi Potian was unwilling to see these Hengshan disciples die heroically. He wanted them to live, so he said, "Junior sister, I will go and rescue them." With a flash of his body, he disappeared into the darkness.

"Big brother."

Yue Lingshan was horrified.

Although she couldn't bear to watch these Hengshan disciples die tragically at the hands of the Demon Cult, this was obviously a trap set by the Demon Cult, and going there at this time would be tantamount to walking into a trap.

Master Dingjing also heard Shi Potian's words. Just as she was about to open her mouth to stop him, she found that Shi Potian had disappeared.

"Junior Brother Linghu, come back quickly! Don't be impulsive!"

Master Dingjing's expression changed, and she used her lightness skills to leap after him.

Yue Lingshan subconsciously wanted to follow, but she stopped not far after rushing out.

Although she has mastered the Hunyuan Qigong during this period, she is still far behind her senior brother and uncle Dingjing. If she follows them rashly, she will only cause trouble for the two of them and will not be of any help.

It would be better to stay and find a way to distract the evil cult monsters and create opportunities for them!
Yue Lingshan looked at the Hengshan disciples who were at a loss because of Master Dingjing's departure, and became more determined to think so. She immediately activated her inner strength, pretending to be a Hengshan disciple, and said loudly: "Master, you are talking to these stupid demons, they won't understand."

"Their leader Dongfang Bubai is a boaster, but his subordinates are all such cowards! They don't even dare to fight head-on, so they can only resort to these conspiracies. It's better not to call him Dongfang Bubai, but Dongfang Bibai!"

If those Hengshan disciples who were captured alive were their weak points, then Dongfang Bubai was the sword hanging over the heads of the cult members.

The rules of the Demon Cult are far stricter than those of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. If someone insults the name of the leader, and they hear the news and do not come out to risk their lives to defend the reputation of the leader, it is considered a heinous crime. Not only will they die, but their families will also be implicated.

This was also Yue Lingshan's way of testing whether the people on the other side were from the Demon Sect or the Songshan Sect.

The result made her heart sink.

When the tall and thin man heard her words, he immediately started cursing, using extremely obscene words.

But, he did not rush forward recklessly.

This person obviously can't be someone from the Demonic Cult; he can only be someone from the Songshan Sect!
The tall and thin man cursed for a while, and seemed to feel that he had not done enough. He walked over to a Hengshan disciple and was about to push her into the fire and burn her to death.

At this moment, there was a bang sound, and the tall and thin man suddenly flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

Blood was gushing out of his mouth, nose, and seven orifices, and his breath was almost cut off. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Almost at the same time.

There were several more noises.

The members of the Demon Cult standing behind the Hengshan disciples fell down one after another.

Some, like the tall and thin man, flew backwards several meters, while others just fell on their backs on the ground.

It can be clearly seen that the later a person falls, the lighter his injuries are.

It was not until this moment that the others saw clearly what had knocked them away.

A few wild walnuts that can be seen everywhere on the mountain.

And the person who took action was Shi Potian!

Shi Potian had never learned how to use hidden weapons, but he had been using stones to shoot birds and catch sparrows since he was a child. Combined with his current internal strength, except that his posture was not cool and handsome enough, his lethality and accuracy were no worse than those of hidden weapon masters.

However, it was his first time using it on someone, and he failed to calculate the strength well at the beginning. When the wild walnut hit the body, it shattered into debris directly, and also seriously injured the cult members.

Later on, he gradually got the hang of it and found the opponent's acupuncture points, and only then was the wild walnut left intact.

Just when the people from the Demon Sect, or more precisely the gangsters recruited by the Songshan Sect, were looking at Wild Walnut, Shi Potianren had already arrived. He pulled the Hengshan disciple back from the fire and injected a stream of Zixia Qi into him.

The Hengshan disciple felt a warm current rushing into her body, and her injured and weak body instantly regained some strength. She had followed Master Dingyi to Hengshan City before, and recognized Shi Potian at a glance. She was surprised and happy, and said, "Amitabha, Senior Brother Linghu."

Shi Potian exerted force with his hands and broke the hemp rope tied to her, saying, "Go to the mountain quickly, I will stop them." With a flash of his body, he came to another Hengshan disciple and did the same thing to him.

In the blink of an eye, seven Hengshan disciples were rescued by Shi Potian, and under Shi Potian's urging, they fled up the mountain with all their might.

It was at this moment that the gangsters finally reacted and were all overjoyed.

Immediately, a man rushed forward and shouted, "Finally, a fish is caught!" The knife flashed, and a steel knife chopped down in the firelight, straight for Shi Potian's neck.

Bang!
Shi Potian didn't even turn his head and swung his palm into the air.

The man didn't even have the chance to react. He just felt a huge palm force coming at him, and his body flew into the air and fell heavily to the ground.

But this did not scare off others.

Almost at the moment when the man wielding the knife fell, three more people rushed in front of him and attacked Shi Potian together.

They held different weapons in their hands, some were knives, some were swords, and one even used a strange walking stick, but without exception they all had profound internal strength, and when they swung their weapons, strong winds whistled.

The moves are either nimble and light, or powerful and heavy, or strange and changeable, and each is different.

Bang!
Shi Potian slapped the air again.

The three men had just rushed to within three feet of Shi Potian when they were hit by the palm force. Except for the one with the crutch, he reacted quickly and hurriedly placed the crutch horizontally in front of him.

The other two didn't realize something was wrong until they were hit by the palm force, and it was too late to resist.

In an instant, both the people and their weapons flew backwards, knocking down several people who were following closely behind them.

That made the cane react quickly, but the result was even worse.

He used all his internal energy to try to block Shi Potian's palm, but it was no different from hitting a rock with an egg; the harder he used, the worse it would be for him.

Under the recoil of the true qi, his arms were broken instantly, his internal organs were severely damaged, and blood spurted out of his mouth.

This immediately frightened the rest of the people.

Some of them joined Songshan Sect to escape from their enemies, some for the martial arts secrets promised by Songshan Sect, and some for wealth and glory, but none of them came to die.

They looked at each other in confusion and watched Shi Potian rescue the remaining Hengshan disciples one by one, not daring to step forward.

At this moment, a sharp and piercing whistle suddenly sounded, extremely harsh.

When the gangsters heard the whistle, they were delighted and retreated immediately as if they had been pardoned.

Almost at the same time.

Countless sounds of breaking through the air came from the darkness.

For an instant.

All kinds of hidden weapons shot out from the front and the left and right sides, covering Shi Potian and the Hengshan disciples behind him.

Under the light of the fire, these hidden weapons flashed a blue light, obviously they were all poisoned.

The timing of launching this hidden weapon was obviously carefully calculated.

It happened to be the moment when Shi Potian rescued the last few Hengshan disciples.

If he dodges, the Hengshan disciples behind him will surely die.

Shi Potian took a step forward without thinking, standing in front of the Hengshan disciples. He gently rotated his palms above his head, and the vast true energy turned into palm power and whizzed out, forming a visible cyclone above his head.

Although Shi Potian has not yet mastered the skill of controlling the sword with Qi, he has already figured out how to use his Qi to gain advantage over the opponent.

The speed of the flying hidden weapon suddenly slowed down, and then it was sucked into the cyclone. Shi Potian shook his hands violently, and the force was reversed.

In an instant, the hidden weapon flew back at a speed even faster than when it came.

puff! puff! puff! puff! puff!
Those gangsters who shot the hidden weapons never expected such a thing to happen. In such a hurry, they had no time to dodge and were directly hit by the hidden weapons they themselves shot. Screams rang out one after another.

There were also a few ruthless people who simply grabbed the people in front of them and used them as human shields.

In just a moment, these meat shields were shot into a hornet's nest by hidden weapons and were killed to the point of being dead.
