Chapter 147 A sudden wave of trouble!
The basic sword skills of these disciples are not bad compared with those of Lu Dayou of Qi Sect.
This is not a disparagement. After all, Lu Dayou and his companions have been in the Qi Sect for at least ten or more years, and they have been practicing basic sword techniques for ten years at a time.
These disciples have only been around for less than a year and their foundation is no worse than theirs, which is enough to show the gap.
Xin Zhen was thinking about when to let these disciples compete with the Qi Sect disciples to see how strong they were.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt something and looked towards the mountain path. He saw a figure climbing up the path quickly.
Xin Zhen was suddenly shocked. The mountain path of Huashan is steep. Generally speaking, in such heavy snow weather, no one would risk climbing unless there was something important.
Seeing that the figure was gradually slowing down, Xin Zhen took a deep breath and flew down the mountain.
Xin Zhen's internal strength was now extraordinary, and his leap made the disciples who were practicing exercises exclaim in surprise. They saw Xin Zhen flying down the mountain path as if he didn't need to touch the ground, and he soon met the man. Then Xin Zhen carried the man up the mountain quickly.
The disciples wanted to gather around, but were driven away by Xin Zhen: "Have you finished practicing? If not, continue practicing. If you are done, go eat. After eating, go back to class!"
As he said that, he carried the person into the Jianqi Chongxiao Hall.
After seven or eight months of construction, the buildings on the mountainside have been connected into one, with guest houses, schools, meeting halls, etc., and large buildings are constantly being expanded.
After a while, Feng Ping and others heard the news and rushed over.
Feng Buping came in and asked, "Master, what happened?"
Xin Zhen said, "This is a Taoist brother from Taishan Sect. He is holding a token from Taoist Tianmen. He said that the Demon Sect is besieging Hengshan Sect, and Hengshan Sect is fleeing south. The next target of the Demon Sect is Taishan Sect, and he is asking for support from all sects."
Feng Buping asked in surprise: "Has the Demon Cult finally taken action?"
The shivering Taishan sect disciple hurriedly said, "This must be Master Feng Buping, right? Before I set out, the Demon Cult had already entered Shandong and fought with the Taishan sect brothers stationed there. Now that the Demon Cult is strong, our Taishan sect may not be able to hold out for too long. Please hurry up and send someone to support us."
Feng Buping nodded and said, "That's right."
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Zizhi, take this brother to the cafeteria, eat a full meal and warm up your body first."
Chen Zichi hurried over, but the Taishan disciple said, "Don't eat yet, I have to go to Huashan Sect's Qi Sect to ask for help immediately."
Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "Your body can't take it anymore. You need to eat first and then have a good rest. Otherwise, you will definitely get a serious illness. I will arrange for you to go to the Qi Sect to inform them."
Xin Zhen looked at Lin Pingzhi and said, "Junior Brother Lin, can you come with me?"
Lin Pingzhi nodded and said, "I'll go right away."
Xin Zhen nodded, looked at the Taishan disciples and said, "Can you give Senior Brother Tianmen's token to Junior Brother Lin? Let Junior Brother Lin go."
The Taishan disciple gave the token to Lin Pingzhi without hesitation, and then followed Chen Zichi to the cafeteria. Only Xin Zhen, Feng Buping and Ren Yingying were left in the Jianqi Chongxiao Hall.
Ren Yingying asked, "Brother Zhen, the Shanxi branch of the Fuwei Escort Agency did send back news that the Hengshan Sect fled south for refuge. The Shandong branch also sent back news that the Sun and Moon Sect members have been making frequent movements recently. I guess this is true."
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "There is no need to doubt the truth of this matter. The recent disturbances have long shown that the Sun Moon Sect has completed its preparations and should be ready to start a big battle. I just didn't expect them to do it in the middle of winter." Feng Buping said, "Should we go to support them?"
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Of course we have to go, but we have to make sure everything is in place, lest we be lured away from the mountain and have our base stolen. Except for us, the rest of the Sword Sect are old and weak. The disciples are the future of the Sword Sect, so we can't afford to make any mistakes."
Cheng Buyou nodded and said, "How about this? Senior Brother Feng, Junior Brother Cong and I will go to provide support, and you all will stay on the mountain. With the headmaster and Junior Uncle in charge, as well as Yingying and Junior Brother Lin, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Xin Zhen thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Brothers, you should stay on the mountain. With such a big incident, it would be bad for me, the head of the sect, not to go."
Ren Yingying said, "Yes, Brother Zhen and I will go."
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Yingying, you stay on the mountain. You are very smart and resourceful. Stay on the mountain to assist Master and the brothers. Junior Brother Lin and I will take a few disciples to gain some experience."
As they were talking, Feng Qingyang also came over after hearing the news. After listening to Xin Zhen's arrangement, he nodded and said, "You guys can go on your own. I'll help you watch over this mountain. Even if Dongfang Bubai comes, I won't be afraid of him."
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "With you, Master, in charge, I am naturally relieved. If things go wrong, we must focus on preserving our strength. As for the mountain gate, there is no need to be stingy. As long as people are still there, the mountain gate can be rebuilt at any time."
"Of course." Feng Qingyang nodded.
At noon, Yue Buqun followed Lin Pingzhi over.
Yue Buqun said to Xin Zhen: "Brother Xin, let's go together so that we can look after each other."
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Who does Qi Zong plan to send?"
Yue Buqun said: "My wife and I will definitely go. I am worried about the other disciples staying on the mountain. It would be more reassuring if we all go together."
Xin Zhen could understand and nodded, saying, "Okay, Junior Brother Lin and I will take a few disciples with us. But Senior Brother Yue, we have to go quickly to rescue them. It may be inconvenient to have too many people. It would be better to streamline the personnel. If you are worried about the other disciples, let them come to the Sword Sect. With my master taking care of them, there shouldn't be any big problems."
Yue Buqun said happily: "This is the best. Some disciples have only been here for a short time and their martial arts skills are weak. If we go there, we won't be able to help. Instead, we have to spend time taking care of them."
Having agreed upon this, they set out during the day.
Yue Buqun and his wife brought eight disciples with them, including Linghu Chong, Lao Denuo, Liang Fa, Shi Daizi, Gao Genming, Lu Dayou, Ying Bailuo, and Yue Lingshan.
Xin Zhen brought Lin Pingzhi, as well as his disciples Chen Zichi, Jiang Zicheng, Xu Jianping, and Yan Xianglin. These four were a little older and did not require much care from them.
Qu Feiyan was a little unhappy when she saw that Xin Zhen did not choose her to go with him. Xin Zhen smiled and said, "You are the eldest sister, you have to stay at home to take care of the younger brothers and sisters for the master and the mistress. There will naturally be a time for you to go down the mountain in the future."
After hearing this, Qu Feiyan's sadness turned into joy.
As soon as he got down the mountain, Xin Zhen understood why the Sun and Moon Sect launched the attack in the middle of winter when it was snowing heavily. Because of the heavy snow, the road was very slippery and the horses could not run at all, making it very difficult to provide quick support.
Seeing this situation, Xin Zhen discussed with Yue Buqun and decided to walk first, and then ride on horseback after leaving the snow-covered area.
As the group traveled along this path, the level of their internal strength became apparent.
