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

Zhu Yuanzhang was poor in his early years and had no choice but to become a monk, but by this time he had already returned to secular life.

He has made many contributions in the battles with the Tartars over the years and has now become the leader of the Ming Cult in Huaibei and Haozhou. When he spoke, his eyes were bright and his face was expressionless, revealing the aura of a great general.

"We brothers disguised ourselves as rickshaw drivers, but we ran into a group of unreasonable strongmen, wielding knives and clubs. We thought they were blind thieves who came from nowhere to rob us poor people."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Da beside him and said, "Fortunately, Brother Xu saw that this group of people were very vicious, so he gave us a signal to let everyone see the reason first, so it won't be too late to take action then."

"In the end, those people asked us to drive the carriage to a valley. It turned out that they were going to escort a large number of monks."

When Zhang Wuji heard this, he immediately thought of the four major sects where he could not find any clues, and asked, "Is he a monk from the Shaolin sect?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Yes, those monks look weak, with their heads down and silent, but most of them are of sturdy build."

"Either his temples are bulging or his muscles are knotted. He must be a highly skilled martial artist."

"After that, we headed north until we reached Hejian Prefecture, where we encountered a dozen large carts carrying hostages, but most of them were nuns."

Zhou Dian had no good feelings towards the people of the four major sects, and he cursed: "These Tartars have nothing better to do than to be matchmakers and help monks and nuns?"

Everyone was amused by his strange words and couldn't help but smile. The Taoist priest Tieguan, who was also one of the Five Wanderers, shouted, "Zhou Dian, don't be rude in front of the leader!"

Zhou Dian stuck out his tongue and said nothing more. Zhang Wuji did not pursue the matter, but continued to ask, "Are you the nun of the Emei Sect?"

"I didn't recognize you at first, but when the two parties met, a monk from Shaolin Sect called out, 'Master Miejue, you are here too!'"

Zhang Wuji saw that it was undoubtedly Nun Miejue, so he wanted to ask if there was a girl named Zhou Zhiruo with her, but he immediately realized that it was not appropriate.

"The nun of the Emei sect was just like the senior monk of the Shaolin sect. She didn't seem to be injured anywhere, but she was listless and even wobbled a little when she walked."

"But I and others only saw him once. After that, we arrived in Dadu and didn't have the chance to meet him again."

Zhang Wuji sighed softly, "Song's guess was correct. The four major sects have been taken to Dadu."

"And according to what Brother Zhu said, the masters of each faction were obviously poisoned, which is why they allowed themselves to be manipulated by the people in the imperial court."

The purpose of this Butterfly Valley Conference was to announce that the Ming Cult followers would rise up together to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. Saving the four major sects was secondary, so after Zhang Wuji received the news, he could only put it aside temporarily.

It was not until the end of the conference and the Ming Cult heroes said goodbye and left one after another that Zhang Wuji discussed with Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao how to proceed to Dadu.

Yang Xiao pondered for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Master, since the people from the four major sects have been captured in Dadu, they must be guarded by the masters under Zhao Min's command."

"A'er and A'san were severely injured by Young Master Song of the Wudang Sect. I think they are not a big deal, but we still have A'da, who was once an elder of the Beggars' Sect, and the Eight Heroes of the Divine Archery who we met at Green Willow Villa."

"But the most difficult ones are the two Xuanming Elders. We are outnumbered and the capital is the lifeblood of the Tartar court. We must not be careless!"

Wei Yixiao chuckled and said, "How come after the battle at Bright Summit, Yang Xiao, the Left Protector of Bright Summit, has become a frightened bird? I said our leader is so powerful that the two Xuanming Elders and the turtles and tortoises can only get lost when they meet the leader."

Yang Xiao did not argue with him, and continued: "In my opinion, we can stop by Wudang Sect and Huashan Sect on the way to Dadu. Firstly, these two sects are the righteous ones in the martial arts world, which will be convenient for explanation after the four major sects are rescued." "Secondly, Dadu must be heavily guarded. If too many people go there, it will be bad. The ancients said that the quality of soldiers is more important than the number. As long as we can get three or four more masters to help, great things can be accomplished."

Zhang Wuji's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Left Envoy Yang and I have the same idea. We can go back to Wudang Mountain to see how Uncle Yu San and Uncle Yin Liu are doing, and then go to Huashan Mountain to ask Brother Song to help. We can defeat thousands of troops!"

The plan was set, and the three of them set off as soon as they said they would. As expected, they first went back to Wudang Mountain to meet Zhang Sanfeng and Song Yuanqiao, and explained in detail how they would go to Dadu to rescue the four major sects.

"Wuji, if the Ming Cult and the Central Plains martial arts world can make peace and jointly fight against the Yuan court, it will be twice as effective with half the effort."

As the leading force in the martial arts world, the Wudang Sect naturally could not stand by and watch the other sects perish. Moreover, Zhang Sanfeng had deep roots with the Shaolin and Emei sects, so there was no reason for him to stand idly by.

So after the discussion, Song Yuanqiao stayed on Wudang Mountain to take charge of the situation, while Yu Lianzhou, Zhang Songxi and Mo Shenggu went down the mountain together and headed for Dadu.

"Wuji has met Senior Brother Song, no, he has met the head of Huashan Sect, Song!"

"Wuji, there's no need to be so polite. Just call me Senior Brother Song, it sounds more friendly."

Zhang Wuji and his companions did not stay in Wudang Mountain for long. After a short rest for one day, they headed towards Huashan.

Having seen natural disasters and man-made calamities in various parts of the Central Plains, with corpses of famine everywhere, everyone was surprised to find that most of the people in the Huashan area could live and work in peace.

After further inquiries, I learned that it was due to the blessing of the Huashan Sect. Thinking about the fact that it was only four months since they left Wudang Mountain, it was truly amazing that Song Qingshu could achieve such a level.

Therefore, when they arrived at the Jade Maiden Peak of Mount Huashan, after the two sides exchanged greetings, everyone praised Song Qingshu again and again, saying that he had the talent to save the world.

"Big brother actually has some complaints about you taking charge of Huashan Sect, but knowing that you can do this, he must be very pleased!"

"Fourth Master, your words are very important. Qingshu is ashamed to accept them. I am only trying my best to help you."

The reason why the area around Huashan is so peaceful and stable now is due to Zhao Min's contribution. Otherwise, no matter how high Song Qingshu's martial arts skills are, he will not be able to deal with the attack of the imperial army.

But this matter could not be discussed openly, so after just a few words, he turned to ask everyone why they came to Huashan this time.

"Brother Song, the whereabouts of the four major sects are exactly as you speculated before. They are now being held in Wan'an Temple in Dadu."

Zhang Wuji explained his intention, then clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Brother Song, please lend us a hand!"

Song Qingshu had anticipated this in his mind. Whether it was to help the Ming Cult resolve its past grievances with the four major sects, or to help Xiao Zhao resolve the troubles caused by the Persian Grand Master, it was necessary to go to Dadu.

In addition, the secrets of the Sword of the Heavenly Conqueror and the Dragon Slaying Sword should also be obtained, which can be regarded as fulfilling the last wish of Guo Jing and his wife.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Wuji, I will definitely do my best to help you."

"But there is one thing that needs to be confirmed. Does the Ming Cult have anyone who is good at naval warfare?" (End of this chapter)
