Chapter 106 Warning
Xin Zhen carefully sorted out his thoughts and decided to head northeast.

Xin Zhen believed that after Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying rescued Ren Woxing, they would definitely rush to Heimu Cliff to take back power in the Sun and Moon Sect.

Heimu Cliff is located in Pingding Prefecture, Hebei Province, just in the northeast direction.

Xin Zhen bought a horse and went straight to Hebei.

He started from Luoyang, crossed Zhengzhou and arrived at Kaifeng, then turned north. One day he arrived at Daming Prefecture and wanted to cross Shalu Mountain to continue north. Suddenly he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the front. Xin Zhen had an idea and immediately let go of the horse and patted it lightly on the horse's buttocks. The horse slowly walked towards the valley.

Xin Zhen hid behind a tree. After a while, he heard footsteps approaching on the mountain path. There seemed to be quite a lot of people. One of them had a yellow belt around his waist and judging by his attire, he was a member of the Demon Sect. The rest, more than 30 people in total, tall and short, followed him silently.

Xin Zhen frowned and thought, if Yingying and the others were on Heimu Cliff at this moment, why were these people suddenly heading south? If they didn't hurry back to Heimu Cliff, would the matter of Heimu Cliff be over?

Xin Zhen waited until these people went far away, then quietly followed them.

After walking for a few miles, the mountain road suddenly became steep, with peaks standing tall on both sides, leaving a narrow mountain road in the middle, and two people could no longer walk side by side.

Xin Zhen thought to himself that this place was perfect for an ambush. Could it be that they were going to ambush someone here?

Xin Zhen did not dare to follow too closely because there was no shelter here. He just watched them from afar as they climbed up the mountain path, and then these people suddenly hid themselves there.

Xin Zhen smiled knowingly, it was just as he expected, but who were these people going to ambush?

Xin Zhen was too lazy to think too much. The people that the Sun Moon Sect wanted to ambush were either from the righteous path or Ren Yingying and her group. Anyway, they were all people who should be saved, so he found a secret place with a good view and hid there.

It was almost dusk, and Xin Zhen had been hiding for an hour. When the moonlight shone in, he heard some sounds.

Xin Zhen concentrated and listened carefully. The voice gradually became clearer. A sharp and old voice said loudly: "...Going to help Shaolin is an extremely dangerous thing. The Demon Cult has already launched a large-scale siege. And I heard that the Demon Cult's cubs have ambushed and attacked the righteous people who came to help. This mountain road is steep, which is a very suitable place for ambush. Everyone must be careful!
After we pass this mountain road and enter Kaifeng, the road will be easier to travel. Today, everyone will work hard and travel overnight. We will rest when we reach Kaifeng, but we still need to be careful. "

Dozens of women responded in unison.

Xin Zhen secretly exclaimed in his heart. From what he heard, the Sun Moon Sect had surrounded the Shaolin Temple. Why was this? Could it be that Ren Woxing had already seized power and wanted to surround Shaolin, then attack the reinforcements, set up ambushes on the road, and wipe out all the major sects in one fell swoop?

It's not impossible.

As for who is above him, Xin Zhen has already made up his mind. Currently, there is only one sect with a large number of female disciples, the Hengshan Sect, which came from the north of Daming Prefecture and moved south. Who else could it be except the Hengshan Sect?
Since they are from Hengshan Sect, we cannot let them fall into the encirclement of Sun Moon Sect. We still have to inform them of the news, and it would be best if we can get some information.

Xin Zhen had made up his mind, so he jumped out of his hiding place and headed towards the direction of the sound.

Xin Zhen went around to the side of the hillside, used his lightness skills to leap up the hillside, and he could already see a group of people on the road.

It’s just that Xin Zhen’s internal strength has reached a certain level, and his lightness skills are extremely advanced.

In addition, it was a dark night, and although there was a bright moon in the sky, Xin Zhen was shaded by trees.

So even though they were only two or three feet away, no one in the group noticed him. They couldn't see Xin Zhen, but Xin Zhen could see them clearly. They were indeed nuns from the Hengshan School.

Xin Zhen stood for a moment, and seeing that they hadn't noticed him yet, he coughed lightly.

This light cough was like a bolt from the blue to the people who were traveling in this desolate mountain. Everyone from Hengshan Sect was immediately shocked. An old and sharp voice shouted, "Who is it?"

Xin Zhen walked out from under the shade of the tree, bowed to the old nun in charge, and said in a loud voice: "Xin Zhen from Huashan Sword Sect greets all the nuns from Hengshan Sect!"

"Ah! It's Master Xin Zhen from the Huashan Sect!"

A tender voice blurted out, and Xin Zhen smiled and said, "But is it Young Nun Yilin?"

Yilin said happily: "Yilin meets Uncle Xin."

She greeted Xin Zhen, then turned to the old nun and said, "Uncle Master, this is the Uncle Master Xin from the Huashan Sect that I told you about."

The old nun felt a little relieved. She looked at Xin Zhen in the moonlight. He was a tall, graceful and handsome young man. The old nun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So you are Brother Xin from Huashan Sect. I am Dingjing. Brother Xin, how come you are in this desolate mountain?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "So it's Master Dingjing. I had something important to do in the north. I passed through Shalu Mountain and happened to see the people of the Demon Cult setting up an ambush on the mountain road ahead. I thought the people the Demon Cult wanted to ambush must be people of the righteous way, so I waited here. But I didn't expect it to be the masters of Hengshan."

Ding Jing was surprised and asked, "Are there some demon cult members setting up an ambush ahead?"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "That's right. After turning this corner, there is an extremely narrow mountain road ahead. Two people can hardly walk side by side. With so many people in your sect, they must climb up in a long snake formation. If they set an ambush at the top, your sect will be unable to take care of both ends. I'm afraid it will be overthrown in an instant!"

Master Dingjing was really shocked and asked, "Is this really the case?"

But her expression suddenly became a little serious, and there was some doubt in her eyes when she looked at Xin Zhen.

Xin Zhen knew that since he suddenly appeared in the middle of the night to give a warning, it was natural for the other party to be suspicious, so he smiled and said, "Master Dingjing, the ambush is ahead, you will know it at a glance."

Ding Jing nodded and followed Xin Zhen. After turning the corner, she saw a very long and narrow mountain road. Ding Jing frowned immediately.

She could see clearly that if someone really set an ambush on this mountain road, the people of Hengshan Sect might really suffer great losses.

But, what should we do now? Forcing our way through is definitely not an option, but if we want to bypass Shalu Mountain, it may take a day or two. The situation in Shaolin is urgent, and if it is too late, something big might happen.

Xin Zhen wanted to get the news, so he said, "Master Dingjing, the demon sect is lying in ambush on the top. If we force our way through, we will suffer heavy losses. It is better to retreat and bypass Shalu Mountain. That way, even if the demon sect sets an ambush, we won't have to be afraid of them in an open area."

Master Ding Jing frowned and said, "But Shaolin is in imminent danger. If we can't get there in time, I'm afraid something serious will happen."
