Lady, let me explain.

Chapter 70 Only Speed ​​Can Invincibility
At this moment, the world was silent. Although the group of people outside the yard tried their best to lighten their steps, they still seemed very abrupt.

Lin Yi had good hearing and could even hear the trembling of swords as they walked.

It was a dark and windy night, and with weapons in hand, it was obvious what these people were here for.

He listened carefully and found that there were more than twenty people!

Sure enough, as he expected.

If he had not been one step ahead of the conspiracy, the Huashan Sect would have been wiped out.

A voice rang out from behind the courtyard gate: "You guys guard the back door. Don't let anyone escape. Keep an eye on that mother and daughter. Capture them alive!"

After a few breaths, there was a light sound of landing, and then the man went to open the gate.

Behind the tree, Lin Yi slowly stood up.

A group of people filed in from the courtyard gate, their footsteps brisk. Lin Yi made his move only after they approached.

He used the Lingbo Weibu technique to constantly flash through the crowd, shooting out invisible sword energy and reaping lives, just like the King of Hell calling the shots.

Lin Yi was very fast, and it was dark, so the group of people didn't see him until he killed seven or eight people. Then they reacted.
Some people were frightened out of their wits and screamed, while others picked up weapons to fight back. The peaceful night was disturbed and the courtyard was in chaos.

But their resistance was in vain. In the darkness, the invisible sword energy was almost impossible to resist. Blood splattered everywhere, and in just a few breaths, more than 20 people were killed.

The Huashan Sect members had been awakened by the sounds of fighting, and there was a commotion in the inn. Lin Yi flew to the back door and saw four people hiding outside.

He flashed out and pressed the acupoints of the four men.

"Who are you?" someone asked in surprise.

Lin Yi's face was gloomy, and he said coldly, "Everyone in the front yard is dead. Now I ask questions, and you answer them. Those who cooperate can live tonight."

All four of them broke out in cold sweats, and one of them exclaimed, "How is that possible... Even if there were twenty pigs, they wouldn't be able to be killed so quickly."

"die!"

Lin Yi pointed his finger, and blood spurted out of the man's heart and chest, and he died instantly.

He then looked at the second person: "What sect are you from? Who sent you here?"

"This...I..." The man hesitated and was indecisive.

Lin Yi silently counted to three numbers.

"die!"

Lin Yi shot out another invisible sword energy.

Blood splashed on the faces of the other two, and they were so scared that their faces turned pale!

"My name is Sima Lin. I don't belong to any sect. My nickname is 'Three Heroes of Northern Ji'. It was... Alliance Leader Zuo who sent us here to invite the distinguished guests from the Huashan Sect to come up the mountain..."

"Zuo Lengchan?" Lin Yi asked coldly, "The Three Heroes of Jibei? Have you ever attacked and killed the Hengshan Sect?"

"Yes Yes!"

Lin Yi asked a few more questions, and the man was already frightened to the point of spilling his guts, and he told everything like pouring beans.

Lin Yicai looked at the last person. This person was short and fat, with a bald head, and looked like a monk.

"There are seven bald monks among the group in the front yard. Where do you come from?"

"We are disciples of Master Yuanzhen. He asked us to come..." The short and fat monk was so scared that his lips were trembling and he spoke haltingly.

Yuanzhen is Cheng Kun's Buddhist name.

Lin Yi asked, "Are you from Shaolin Temple?"

"No, we only took Master Yuanzhen as our master and haven't entered Shaolin Temple yet."

Lin Yi realized that Shaolin had strict discipline and every time they accepted a new disciple, they would interrogate him thoroughly. This was Cheng Kun's power building outside the temple.

Zuo Lengchan and Cheng Kun joined forces to deal with him, which surprised Lin Yi.

Zuo Lengchan is vying for the position of leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, while Cheng Kun is plotting to obtain the Dragon Slaying Sword. These two have the same interests.

Lin Yi raised his hands and struck them twice, knocking them unconscious.

When the Huashan Sect members saw the corpses scattered all over the front yard, they were shocked. Then they heard questions coming from the back door and hurried over with swords drawn.

When they opened the door and saw Lin Yi, they were all shocked.

"Head?"

"Pingzhi!"

A figure rushed out, it was Yue Lingshan.

Lin Yi hugged her and said, "Let's talk inside." He then ordered several disciples to carry the two survivors inside.

Arriving at the inn, Lin Yi immediately ordered: "Pack up your things, and when the city gates open at dawn, we will leave the city and head to Songshan."

The disciples agreed and retreated.

Ning Zhongze then asked, "Pingzhi, did you kill those people in the front yard?"

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Those people harbor evil intentions and intend to attack and kill our Huashan Sect. I think there are three or four of them whose martial arts skills are no less than that of Master's Wife."

Yue Lingshan asked, "Who are they from? Who is our Huashan Sect's mortal enemy?"

"I just found out from the interrogation that it was sent by Zuo Lengchan."

Ning Zhongze was furious: "This evil villain is still ruthless! The people at the Medicine King Temple that night were most likely sent by him."

"Pingzhi, why don't we contact the other three factions and have a fierce battle with him? With you here, I estimate we have a 70% chance of winning."

Ning Zhongze is a person of true character. He treats his disciples gently and has a strong and upright temper.

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "Master's Wife, we can't act rashly on this matter. We need to think it over carefully."

Zuo Lengchan cannot be convicted based solely on the confession of a living person.

Ning Zhongze took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, nodded and said: "You are the leader now, you are the one who makes the decision."

Ning Zhongze knew very well that his son-in-law's chivalry, martial arts and talents were superior to his own, so he didn't say a word and left everything to Lin Yi to arrange.

...After comforting the mother and daughter, Lin Yi began to ponder.

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Yue Lingshan thought he was thinking about the merger of the Five Mountains, so she did not disturb him and just watched him quietly.

But at this moment, Lin Yi had no idea about Zuo Lengchan and Cheng Kun's conspiracy, or how to deal with them.

He was thinking about the battle just now... It would be more accurate to say that it was a one-sided massacre.

The battle in the front yard just now was so easy.

Taking advantage of the right time, place and people, it was not difficult for Lin Yi to kill more than 20 low-level fighters while strolling in the garden at night.

This battle cannot be compared with the previous ones against Sha Tongtian, Zhang Wuji, Xuanming Erlao and others.

But in a flash of inspiration, Lin Yi came up with some ideas.

Although these twenty-odd people were all inferior to him, if he fought them openly, he would have to rely on his brute force to crush them all, and it would take him a while to kill them all.

The reason why he solved the problem so easily was because he attacked by surprise.

Secondly, he was quick in action, his attacks were quick, his body movements were quick, and his invisible sword energy was quick. These people had no time to resist and were turned into sandbags.

"No... I was still too slow just now."

Lin Yi pondered for a moment, "If I could kill twenty people in a single breath... or even in an instant."

That day in the cave, he comprehended Dugu Qiubai's sword intent of being better without moves, and gradually integrated it into his practice through the actual combat over the past few months.

He had been thinking about what his sword intent should be.

Until this moment, he was sure.

fast!
In the world of martial arts, nothing is invincible, only fast is invincible.

"I want to master the fastest Qinggong, the fastest body movements, and the fastest sword in the world!"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Lin Yi felt refreshed and felt that he would no longer be bound by any constraints.

All sword techniques and sword moves are no longer important.

It seems to combine the idea of ​​no moves being better than having moves with the simplicity and ingenuity of the Xuantie sword.

He wanted to kill people as quickly as possible using the simplest, most plain and direct way with a sword.

With his understanding and aptitude, he had gained a lot just by rehearsing those scenes in his mind.

"What I lack now is actual combat. I need to use it to constantly sharpen my swordsmanship!"

Lin Yi slowly calmed down. The Five Mountains Unification Conference and the Lion-Slaying Heroes Conference were about to take place, so there was no shortage of opportunities for fighting.

……

The next morning, Lin Yi led a group of people from the Huashan Sect out of Luoyang and headed towards Mount Song.

The Songshan Mountain Range is vast. The Songshan School is located at Shengguan Peak of Taishi Mountain, while the Shaolin Temple is located at Shaoshi Mountain.

The Huashan Sect first settled in Shaolin Temple.

This place is about sixty or seventy kilometers away from Luoyang. The official road in the Central Plains is very flat. The group traveled for a whole day and finally arrived in the evening.

Ning Zhongze ordered all the disciples to put away their weapons in wooden boxes and cloth bags to show their respect for the Shaolin Sect.

Now Shaolin is holding a lion-slaying hero conference, and security is tight inside and outside. Seven or eight miles away from Shaolin Temple, the Huashan Sect encountered three waves of monks for interrogation.

When we arrived at the mountain gate, a group of monks were already waiting there.

An old monk in the lead stepped forward, clasped his hands together and saluted: "The Shaolin monks respectfully welcome Master Lin and Madam Yue."

Ning Zhongze hurriedly returned the greeting, "Greetings, Abbot Xuanci."

Lin Yi looked at Xuan Ci twice and returned the greeting.

Another old monk came forward with a smile on his face. It was Kongzhi from the Guangmingding group.

After everyone exchanged greetings, they entered the temple. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lin Yi ordered someone to bring out the short and fat monk who was captured last night.

He also revealed his identity and the attack that took place last night.

The monks were startled, thinking that he had come to call them to task.

Kong Zhi said, "Master Lin, Yuan Zhen was a disciple of Senior Brother Kong Jian. He died in the battle at Bright Summit. This matter is most likely a misunderstanding."

Lin Yi said, "According to this person, he saw Yuan Zhen a few days ago. It's possible that he faked his own death to escape. The details of this matter still need to be verified by Shaolin. This person will be handed over to Shaolin for disposal. The Lion-Slaying Hero Meeting is imminent, so make sure nothing goes wrong."

In addition to the monks of the Kong generation, Shaolin Temple also has a group of monks of the Xuan generation, so Cheng Kun's influence is also limited.

Cheng Kun was hiding in the dark, and Lin Yi couldn't do anything to him for a while, so he could only ask Shaolin to cause trouble for him.

At this point, Lin Yi doesn't want to cause trouble for Shaolin, and is willing to do them a favor - of course, the premise is that Shaolin Temple does not offend him.

For nearly a hundred years, the martial arts world has been led by Shaolin, whose power is deeply rooted and has an extremely profound foundation.

Lin Yi had no intention of being hostile to Shaolin Temple. What he wanted to do was to suppress Shaolin's popularity at certain critical times.

Let this most influential sect in the martial arts world be silent for a while.

It would be best if he could replace Shaolin's influence during this vacuum period...

Lin Yi took the initiative to show goodwill and had no intention of asking for punishment, so the monks breathed a sigh of relief.

Xuan Ci immediately stated: "Master Lin, please rest assured that Shaolin Temple will thoroughly investigate this matter and give an explanation to the Huashan Sect."

Lin Yi knew that it was impossible to deal with Cheng Kun by relying on Shaolin Temple, and at most it could only interfere with him for a period of time.

Afterwards, Shaolin Temple settled all the Huashan Sect members in a courtyard.

Lin Yi was a little surprised. Shaolin Temple must have known that the Dragon Slaying Sword was in his hands, but after the meeting, they didn't even ask a single question.

He knew in his heart that Shaolin Temple was now the leader of the martial arts world, and he hoped to obtain the Dragon Slaying Sword to increase his influence and command the world.

But not asking only shows that these people still have some shame.
