Chapter 149 The miserable Hengshan Sect!
Nothing happened all night.

On the second day of the journey, Yan Xianglin realized the Zixia Gong.

On the third day, Xu Jianping realized the Zixia Power.

On the fourth day, the team entered Henan Province, and Chen Zichi also realized the Zixia Power.

Yue Lingshan felt something was wrong because on the first day, the disciples of the Sword Sect were weaker than her.

But on the second day, Jiang Zicheng no longer showed signs of fatigue, and on the third day, even Yan Xianglin was walking with ease.

By the fourth day, Yue Lingshan felt like she was about to die. After several days of running around, she could no longer hold on.

But Xu Jianping also felt relieved. Fortunately, there was Chen Zichi who was also trying hard to hold on.

But after entering Henan, Chen Zichi regained his respectful appearance.

After entering Henan, the wind and snow seemed to have subsided, the snow on the ground was not too heavy, and people were seen riding horses on the road. Xin Zhen immediately went to buy horses to continue their journey. Otherwise, if they had to rely on manpower to travel, the Taishan Sect would probably have been destroyed several times by then.

In fact, they were much slower. It took them four days to reach Shaanxi alone. But there was nothing they could do about it. The road was icy and the horses could not move. Walking was also difficult. The fact that they were able to get out of Shaanxi in four days showed that they had very good leg strength.

With horses, the speed finally increased. The group quickly passed Henan and then entered Liaocheng, Shandong.

One day, the group arrived at a town in Yanggu County. It was getting dark. Yue Buqun said, "Brother Xin, it's getting late. Why don't we take a rest here? We will soon reach the Taishan area. I'm afraid we will encounter enemies ahead. We should take a good rest tonight and recover from the hard work of these days' journey."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Okay."

Xin Zhen looked at Lin Pingzhi and said, "Junior Brother Lin, take the disciples to quickly inspect the town to see if there are any people from the Demon Cult."

Lin Pingzhi nodded and said, "Okay, Zichi, Jianping, follow me."

Yue Buqun also said: "Chong'er, take your junior brother with you to patrol."

Linghu Chong took the order and left with Lu Dayou and others.

Xin Zhen and others found an inn to check in. Just as they finished, they saw Lin Pingzhi coming back with a few nuns.

When the head nun saw Xin Zhen, she said happily, "Master Xin, you are really here. Master Yue, Madam Yue, hello."

Xin Zhen was somewhat surprised and asked, "Master Dingyi, why are you in Yanggu?"

Yue Buqun and his wife quickly greeted him.

Lin Pingzhi said: "The masters of Hengshan Sect are in the north of the town. They are all here to support Taishan Sect."

Master Dingyi chanted a Buddhist name and said, "The members of the Demon Cult besieged Hengshan, and Hengshan was defeated, so we moved south. When we reached Henan, we heard that the Demon Cult was besieging Taishan Sect, so we thought of coming to support them as soon as possible to prevent the Demon Cult from getting too rampant."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "How much damage has your sect sustained?"

Master Dingyi looked a little gloomy: "Fortunately, we retreated quickly, so the damage was not too serious."

It’s not a big deal… but the damage is quite significant.

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Has the injured nun been treated? Several of my disciples here know some medical skills and have brought a lot of medicine with them."

Master Dingyi said, "I have already found a doctor to treat it. It is fine for now."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Your sect should have arrived here a few days earlier. Do you know what the situation is now, Master?"

Ding Yi said, "We are staying here because there are many wounded, so we have to stay temporarily. Senior Sister Ding Jing took some disciples to investigate first, and she hasn't come back yet." Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Is Senior Sister Ding Xian in the north of the town now?"

Master Dingyi nodded.

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "I want to go see Master Ding Xian. Can you lead the way?"

Master Dingyi said, "Please follow me."

Yue Buqun also said: "Master Dingxian is here, so I will naturally go to pay my respects to her."

Master Dingyi nodded: "Everyone, please come in."

The group followed Master Dingyi and quickly arrived at the north of the town. To the north was a dilapidated wild temple with lights coming from inside. There were some nuns outside on guard. When they saw someone coming, they asked nervously, "Who is coming?"

Master Dingyi said loudly: "It's me, don't be nervous."

"Ah, it's Uncle Dingyi."

Xin Zhen followed Ding Yi into the ruined temple. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strong smell of blood and a complex mixture of Chinese medicine. He couldn't help but frowned. Of course, it was not because he disliked the uncleanness, but he secretly thought that the Hengshan Sect was estimated to have suffered heavy casualties.

Sure enough, there were quite a few nuns standing or sitting in the dilapidated temple, and quite a few were lying down. Almost everyone was injured, and many of them had bandages wrapped around their bodies. Everyone looked sad, and many of them had tears on their faces, as if they had just cried.

Master Dingyi shouted, "What's there to cry about? It's just a smelly skin. It's dead. All we need to do is chant sutras to make it go to paradise!"

The nuns suddenly fell silent.

When Xin Zhen entered, someone exclaimed in surprise, "It's Uncle Xin!"

Xin Zhen heard a familiar voice and saw that it was indeed the little nun Yi Lin. He smiled and nodded and said, "Hello, Master Yi Lin."

Yi Lin nodded shyly and said, "Hello, Master Xin."

A weak voice came from behind the statue in the ruined temple, "Is this Master Xin of the Huashan Sword Sect? I am seriously injured and unable to greet you. I am sorry for being so rude."

Xin Zhen was surprised and asked, "Master Ding Xian is seriously injured. Is it inconvenient now? Can I go in?"

Ding Yi said: "It's not inconvenient. Master Xin, please follow me..."

She paused and said, "...Master Yue and his wife, please come along as well."

Ding Yi was in front, and Xin Zhen followed in with Yue Buqun and his wife.

Behind the statue was a side room, probably where the temple keeper lived, but it had long been dilapidated and smelled of dust. In the cold weather, Ding Xian was lying on a bed made of dry grass, his clothes stained with blood, and his face looked very listless under the light.

Xin Zhen took a quick look and saw no signs of bandages, so he asked, "What injuries did the nun suffer?"

Nun Dingyi said, "Sister Dingxian stopped dozens of followers by herself to cover our rear. Later, she was besieged and hit hard on the back by an elder of the Demon Sect. I'm afraid her internal organs were all injured. Fortunately, Sister Dingxian released her strength in time, otherwise she would have died on the spot."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Has Master Ding Xian adjusted the alien Qi in your body now?"

Ding Xian said weakly, "The palm power of this demon elder is quite strange. After entering the body, it is sometimes hot and sometimes cold. I can't drive it away with my internal force. Instead, I have consumed a lot of my internal force, which is why I am so weak."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Our Huashan Sect's Zixia Gong is quite effective in dissolving alien true qi. Master Dingxian, why don't you let me lend you a hand?"
