I am Zhao Zhijing, a poor Taoist priest, and I have disciples all over the world.

Chapter 225: Passing through Bashu
After Song Qingshu had given his instructions, he set off westward along the original route directly from outside the city of Xianyang without stopping.

Song Yuanqiao and others will go ahead and also leave Wudang Sect's unique mark symbols along the way to make it convenient for Song Qingshu to meet up as soon as possible.

Therefore, it took less than three days for the two sides to meet in Bazhou area of ​​the Bashu region.

"Qingshu, why must it be done at this critical moment? Why do we have to accommodate you?"

Song Yuanqiao was relieved to see his son finally catch up, but he still had the heavy responsibility of leading the Wudang Sect to the Western Regions on his shoulders and he must not be careless.

"It happened too suddenly, and I didn't have time to report it in person. I beg father and my four uncles to forgive me."

Song Qingshu knew that this matter would be exposed sooner or later, so he explained the situation directly, but omitted some details.

"That night in the inn, I overheard someone trying to harm the Guan family's ancestor, and Master Tai has mentioned more than once that he received a favor from the Condor Hero Yang Guo."

"The Guan family's ancestor is the junior brother of the Condor Hero, so I naturally cannot stand idly by. But if too many people go, it will inevitably alert the enemy."

Song Yuanqiao and others were shocked. Their master was 110 years old, which was rare in the world. If the ancestor of the Guan family was still alive today, wouldn't he be 130 or 140 years old?

But on second thought, Song Qingshu had no reason to make up this story, and the story of Immortal Zhao of Mount Hua ascending to heaven was well known in the martial arts world. Maybe his sect really did have a method of immortality.

"well done!"

Mo Shenggu was a man of sharp edges and never flattered others. He immediately praised, "Master is very kind. If I were in this situation, I would definitely take action."

"Thank you, Sixth Uncle."

Song Qingshu continued, "My disciples helped them capture the group of seven people. We stayed for another day because we were worried that there might be an ambush. After we were sure that there was nothing wrong, we immediately rushed over here."

After hearing this, Yin Liting realized that his previous guess was just overthinking, and said with a smile: "Qingshu's actions are exactly what a person of my generation should be like. He deserves to be called the Jade-faced Mengchang in the martial arts world."

Yu Lianzhou and the others also thought so. Since the small misunderstanding had been explained, there was no need to waste any more time. The most important thing now was to hurry on their way.

Logically speaking, the shortest route for the Wudang Sect to reach Guangmingding is via Yongzhou when they set out from the Huguang area. The reason they have to change their route to Bashu now is because of some grudges from their early years.

The Kongtong Sect is located in Kongtong Mountain, Pingliang, Yongzhou. Its influence covers the entire Yongzhou. More than 20 years ago, the Golden Lion King Xie Xun injured several people and stole the Seven Wound Fist boxing manual, thus forming a great feud.

Later, Xie Xun and Zhang Cuishan of the Wudang Sect became sworn brothers. The Five Elders of Kongtong went to the Wudang Sect to demand an explanation for the crime, and indirectly forced Zhang Cuishan and his wife to death, so the two sides have had little contact since then.

Although the original Seven Heroes of Wudang have become Five Heroes of Wudang, they are not afraid of the Five Elders of Kongtong. It's just that this time the six major sects have joined forces to wipe out the Demon Sect. If an internal conflict breaks out before reaching Bright Summit, everyone will lose face and become a laughing stock in the world.

Not only that, there are also grudges between the Kunlun Sect and the Kongtong Sect, and between the Shaolin Sect and the Wudang Sect. Although Zhang Sanfeng is the founder of the Wudang Sect, he betrayed the Shaolin Temple.

Therefore, although the six major sects united, they each went their own way and did not interfere with each other, and only waited until they reached Kunlun Mountain before taking action together.

"Now that we are in Shu, we may meet the Emei Sect's Nun Miejue and her group. If you are traveling with the Emei Sect's disciples, you must be careful and cautious and don't do anything rude."

The Emei Sect is located in Mount Emei in Shu. It was founded by Guo Xiang, the daughter of the great hero Guo Jing. It has been passed down to Nun Miejue for the third generation. Most of the disciples are women, so Song Yuanqiao has to give instructions in advance to avoid misunderstandings. Zhang Songxi smiled and said, "Brother, you are right, but in my opinion, with Nun Miejue's temperament, I am afraid she has already led her disciples to set off and will not lag behind."

Nun Miejue's secular surname was Fang. Her brother Fang Ping lived in Kaifeng and never associated with people in the martial arts world. However, he still died for no reason at the hands of Xie Xun.

In addition, Nun Miejue's senior brother Gu Hongzi was defeated by the Ming Cult's Left Protector Yang Xiao in a duel, and finally died in depression due to the humiliation.

Therefore, Master Miejue and the Ming Cult have an irreconcilable feud, and it was she who strongly promoted the alliance of the six major sects this time.

Mo Shenggu, who was standing by, saw that Yin Liting looked depressed, and knew that he was thinking of someone because of the things he saw, so he asked in a low voice: "Sixth brother, are you thinking of Miss Ji again?"

Yin Liting was originally engaged to Ji Xiaofu, a disciple of the Emei sect, but more than ten years ago, they received news that Ji Xiaofu had died at the hands of the Ming Cult.

"This time when I reach Guangmingding, I will definitely kill Yang Xiao!"

Although Yin Liting ranks sixth among the seven brothers, he is now the most skilled in swordsmanship. In order to avenge Yang Xiao, he even created a sword move called "Heaven and Earth Live Together" in which he is willing to die together with the enemy.

Song Yuanqiao and others knew his intentions, but even their master had been unable to persuade him over the years. However, the Five Wudang Heroes were like brothers, so they would definitely try their best to protect him.

"Sixth brother, don't be too impatient. This is a life-and-death battle between the righteous and the evil sects. Both sides rely on their own abilities. Naturally, this is different from ordinary battles in the martial arts world."

"The Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation that our master taught us is just right for subduing demons and monsters. No matter how powerful Yang Xiao is, he will definitely not be able to resist it."

Song Qingshu listened silently. As a junior, it was not appropriate for him to interrupt, but he knew exactly what was going to happen next. When he saw Yin Liting's expression, he became a little unsure.

The six major sects and the Demon Cult have had a long-standing grudge. Over the decades, countless loved ones, relatives, and friends, as well as disciples and followers on both sides have been killed or injured, and it has become an irreconcilable deep hatred.

As the Left Protector of the Light, Yang Xiao had acted arrogantly and radically in the past. He had forced Ji Xiaofu to give herself to him alone. Whether he died at the hands of Nun Miejue or Yin Liting, it was all his own fault.

"With Zhang Wuji and Yang Buhui around, Yin Liting probably wouldn't have been able to kill Yang Xiao. But if he hadn't been injured by the Vajra Finger, Yang Buhui wouldn't have developed feelings for him because of taking care of him."

Song Qingshu shook his head secretly. Although the injuries caused by the Vajra Finger could be cured by the Black Jade Fracture Ointment, the pain of having all the bones in the body crushed was chilling just to hear about it.

Because I will leave Wudang and return to Huashan to take charge of the overall situation in the future, I must repay the Wudang Sect for its upbringing and teaching.

Besides, Zhang Sanfeng and the Seven Heroes of Wudang were also respected heroes in later generations, so Song Qingshu naturally wanted to make things as perfect as possible.

As for the attitude towards the Ming Cult, as the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor, it is not yet decided whether to kill or keep the leading figures like Yang Xiao.

On the contrary, the Five Elements Flag of the Ming Cult is a rare force to fight against the Yuan army, so we should try to preserve it if possible.

"If the Ming Cult had not been divided over the years, the six major sects would not even be able to pass the Five Elements Flag, let alone besiege Bright Summit."
