Chapter 56 A fierce fight breaks out!
Zhong Yuan and Fang Liu headed towards Jianhu Palace.
However, they did not intend to go to the Sword Lake Palace, but instead planned to bypass the front of the Sword Lake Palace and go directly to the back mountain of the Sword Lake Palace.
After all, the Langhuan Paradise is hidden near the Wuliang Jade Wall behind the Jianhu Palace.
but.
Backfired.
He and Fang Liu had just approached the woods where Sword Lake Palace was located, but were not yet at the main gate of Sword Lake Palace.
Suddenly, seven or eight men wielding long swords emerged from the woods.
They blocked Zhong Yuan and Fang Liu's path.
The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, holding a long sword. His eyes gleamed coldly as he addressed Zhong Yuan and Fang Liu, saying, "Scrap from the Shennong Gang!"
"That's incredibly bold!"
"They assassinated three of my disciples yesterday, and they dare to come again today!"
"Do you really think our Boundless Sect has no one left?"
The words fell.
Without saying a word, the middle-aged man led the group of young men and attacked Zhong Yuan.
Upon seeing this, Fang Liu cried out in alarm.
"Seriously, what's wrong with all of you?!"
"We are not part of the Shennong Gang!"
However, the middle-aged man seemed to have already decided that they were members of the Shennong Gang.
Without any intention of stopping, he lunged forward, his longsword thrusting directly at Zhong Yuan.
Zhong Yuan raised an eyebrow.
broken!
Did the Shennong Gang come yesterday?
Doesn't that mean that Duan Yu has already gotten there first and obtained both the [Northern Darkness Divine Skill] and the [Lingbo Steps] from the Langhuan Jade Cave?
Zhong Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Seeing the middle-aged man approaching with a sword, he immediately raised his White Rainbow Sword without even drawing it from its sheath.
He leaped out, channeling his inner energy, transforming into a blur of motion, his sword swaying.
Dangdang Dangdang!
All that could be heard was the sound of swords clashing.
Then, the longsword in the middle-aged man's hand, as well as the longswords of the several Wuliang Sect disciples, all fell to the ground.
and.
Their bodies froze in place, each of them having had their pressure points sealed.
Chung Yuan acted swiftly and decisively.
The move he used was a variation of the "Moon Slash," which could disarm the enemy in a short time.
Of course, this tactic is only suitable for dealing with people who are less skilled than yourself.
It's not so easy when facing a master.
In just a few breaths, Zhong Yuan froze these people in place.
Fang Liu, who was standing to the side, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes sparkling with admiration, and he couldn't help but think to himself.
Fortunately, the young master is capable; otherwise, he would have been killed by these unreasonable idiots who attacked without warning.
at this time.
Zhong Yuan strolled over to the middle-aged man.
At that moment, the middle-aged man saw that Zhong Yuan's sword was not drawn.
His face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with horror.
He never expected this.
There's such a master in the Shennong Clan!
That kind of agility and lightness skill was truly incredibly fast. Moreover, this person was so young that he didn't even draw his sword; he simply used the scabbard to disarm them.
What a cunning tactic!
The Shennong Gang has such a master swordsman. Is it that Heaven is going to destroy the Wuliang Sword Sect?
"Where is Sikong Xuan?!"
"Get him out here!"
"Kill me or torture me, just say the word!"
"I, Rong Ziju, will not even flinch!"
The middle-aged man looked angrily at Zhong Yuan.
Zhong Yuan snorted coldly.
"Who said I'm a member of the Shennong Clan?"
Rong Ziju was stunned upon hearing this.
"You're not a member of the Shennong Gang?"
Zhong Yuan, too lazy to pay attention to Rong Ziju's nonsense, asked directly, "I'm asking you, wasn't yesterday the martial arts competition between the East and West factions of your Wuliang Sword Sect, which takes place every five years?"
Rong Ziju frowned.
"The martial arts competition is still more than two months away, so why was it held yesterday?"
"Why are you asking this? Are you perhaps from the Northern Sect?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, I wasn't too late.
But if he wasn't late, how come the Shennong Gang has already started fighting with the Wuliang Sword Sect?
Zhong Yuan said calmly, "What Northern School, Southern School!"
"I am Fang Zheng, and I have no connection with the Shennong Gang."
"I just heard that the Wuliang Sword Sect holds a martial arts competition every five years, and I thought it was interesting, so I came to watch."
Rong Ziju was stunned for a moment, then looked regretful and said to Zhong Yuan, "So it's Young Hero Fang."
"My name is Rong Ziju."
"Just now, I mistook Young Hero Fang for one of the villains from the Shennong Gang."
"Please forgive me, Young Master Fang."
"It's because yesterday, members of the Shennong Gang assassinated three disciples of my Wuliang Sword Sect."
"And he left a message saying that he would come today to destroy my Wuliang Sword Sect."
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Zhong Yuan's eyes.
He remembered that the Shennong Gang wanted to destroy the Wuliang Sword Sect because Tianshan Tonglao, in order to investigate the Wuliang Jade Disc, issued an order to the Shennong Gang, commanding Sikong Xuan to lead his troops to attack and occupy the Sword Lake Palace.
The Wuliang Sword Sect's martial arts tournament, which takes place every five years, is not yet time.
Why did the Shennong Gang attack the Wuliang Sword Sect ahead of schedule?
That's quite surprising.
Could it be... that my appearance triggered the butterfly effect?
after all.
Previously, after he killed Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, he made Tianshan Tonglao mistakenly believe that it was a monk from the Tianlong Temple of the Duan family in Dali who had done it.
The Heavenly Child Granny may have already visited Dali in person.
Immediately.
He turned to Rong Ziju and asked, "Tell me, has anything major happened at Tianlong Temple in Dali recently?"
Rong Ziju had no idea what Zhong Yuan was up to.
This young man's swordsmanship and agility were both superb, but his background was not discernible from the style of his attacks.
Now, the question has been raised about Tenryu-ji Temple.
He was completely baffled.
However, since they are not members of the Shennong Gang, they are not enemies.
It's best to answer the question as soon as possible so that the other party can release their pressure points and clear up the misunderstanding.
then.
He replied directly, "Young Master Fang."
"Something has indeed happened at Tenryu-ji Temple recently."
"About half a month ago, the Lingjiu Palace Master, Tianshan Tonglao, who almost never appeared in front of outsiders, appeared at Tianlong Temple."
"For some reason, Tianshan Tonglao insisted that the high monks of Tianlong Temple had killed people from her Lingjiu Palace, and no matter how Zen Master Kurong of Tianlong Temple explained, she remained unmoved."
"Then, the two sides fought fiercely. Zen Master Kurong and other senior monks of the same generation in the temple attacked at the same time. After Tianshan Tonglao killed the senior monk Benxiang of Tianlong Temple, she drifted away."
"This matter has caused quite a stir in the martial arts world."
Zhong Yuan was taken aback when he heard this.
Good guy.
The Heavenly Child Granny is really something else; she actually came to Tianlong Temple and killed Benxiang.
This time, the feud between Tianlong Temple and Lingjiu Palace has become quite serious.
Zhong Yuan remained silent for a moment, and Rong Ziju, who was standing to the side, hurriedly said, "Young Master Fang is highly skilled in martial arts and has extraordinary swordsmanship."
"We were the ones who offended you just now."
"Please release our pressure points, young hero, so we can meet at Sword Lake Palace."
Zhong Yuan raised an eyebrow, a plan forming in his mind.
If he wanted to roam the martial world freely, he could do whatever he pleased.
But his goal was not just that; he wanted to lead the Ming Cult to glory.
Then you need to make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.
Previously, killing the plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums, thus incurring the wrath of Lingjiu Palace, was a last resort.
After all, given the circumstances at the time, it would have been virtually impossible to save Ma Ruoyan from Mei Jian and Zhu Jian without offending Lingjiu Palace.
The people of Lingjiu Palace are known for their domineering nature. They set their sights on Ma Ruoyan and completely disregarded the Ming Cult.
We absolutely cannot be lenient in this matter.
He couldn't reveal his whereabouts or be targeted by the people of Lingjiu Palace.
The only option is to kill them to silence them.
