Chapter 157 One Hundred and Eight Arhats!
Sure enough, as soon as they approached, Linghu Chong immediately discovered a very secret hidden stake. Fortunately, it was night time, otherwise they would have been discovered if they came in like this.

This discovery immediately made him sweat a little, and he quickly whispered to Chen Zichi and Yue Lingshan, "There is a hidden stake in the southeast direction, be careful not to reveal any traces."

Chen Zichi and Yue Lingshan nodded quickly.

Linghu Chong whispered, "You two wait here while I go in to investigate. If you hear a fight going on inside, you must leave immediately and report back that there are members of the Demon Cult hiding here."

Chen Zichi nodded.

Linghu Chong took advantage of the night to avoid the sight of the hidden guards and sneaked into the village. He took shelter under the shadow of the wall and walked two alleys inside. Suddenly, the noise of a crowd came into his ears.

Linghu Chong was startled. From the sounds, he realized that there were quite a few people inside. He hurriedly walked in. There were people guarding the intersection ahead. Judging from their clothing, they were genuine members of the Demon Cult in black clothes and colorful ribbons, not those three ordinary people from the martial arts world.

Linghu Chong's heart perked up. All those who had been wiped out before were the scattered people that the Demon Cult had recruited in the martial arts world, but there were few regular troops of the Demon Cult. He didn't know how many members of these Demon Cults there were, and which halls they belonged to. He had to figure this out, otherwise Brother Xin would not be able to formulate a battle plan.

Brother Linghu thought for a moment, then walked around the intersection and felt his way inside from the roof of one side. After passing two or three roofs, he saw a bright light in front of him. He saw a tall bonfire inside, and many believers were drinking and dancing around the bonfire. It was very noisy. There were several hundred believers here alone.

Linghu Chong calmly observed and finally saw a member of the sect stand up and stagger into the shadows of the alley. Linghu Chong immediately touched over, and when the member was about to release himself, he suddenly felt a cold hand gripping his neck, and a man's voice whispered, "Be quiet, or you will die!"

The member of the sect couldn't help but let go of his hands, and his lower body was immediately wet. Linghu Chong immediately smelled a strong foul odor, but there was nothing to worry about at this time, so he dragged him into a house.

In the darkness, the member of the cult whispered, "Hero, spare my life."

Linghu Chong chuckled and asked, "Which sect do you belong to?"

The followers quickly said, "We are under the command of Master Qin Xiang of the White Tiger Hall."

Linghu Chong nodded, and seeing that the followers were cooperative, he asked for clarification. It turned out that the people gathered here were the 300 subordinates of Master Qin Xiang. They had been waiting for the order to attack for several days.

Linghu Chong asked again if there were any elders, and after confirming that there were none, he knocked the man unconscious and threw him next to his urine. Even if other members of the sect found him, they would just assume that he was drunk.

Linghu Chong touched another person and confirmed it again. Sure enough, there was basically no problem with the information.

Linghu Chong quietly left the manor, found Chen Zichi and Yue Lingshan and said, "Okay, let's go back."

Linghu Chong rushed back to the base, and the rest of the people who had gone out to investigate also came back.

Linghu Chong quickly reported the situation to Xin Zhen, who asked Linghu Chong to follow him and then summoned Yue Buqun and others.

Xin Zhen said: "Brother Linghu's investigation has basically yielded results. There are about two to three thousand demons lurking near us. It is obvious that this is a trap, specifically targeting Feicheng.

If we go to Feicheng and wait until the city is besieged, we won’t be able to get out. Now we have to wait for news from Junior Brother Lin.”

Yue Buqun was quite positive this time and said, "The situation is already very clear. No matter what the news is from Junior Brother Lin, we cannot throw away the last glimmer of hope.

We will annihilate the demon cult members here, just like we did before. The more cult members we annihilate, the less pressure there will be on Feicheng."

The others all nodded.

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, that's it. Let's study the intelligence that Brother Linghu and his team have found. There are about 200 members of the Demon Cult hiding in Lijia Village, but no elders.

There are dozens of demon cult members in Chenjiagou, but no elders;

There are about 700 to 800 members of the Demon Cult in Hanjiazhai, led by the leader of the Suzaku Hall.
There are 600 followers in Zhouzhuang, but no elders;

There are 500 followers in Shuangta Village and 200 followers in Liujia Village..."

As Xin Zhen spoke out the information, everyone frowned.

There are four or five sects here, with a total number of no more than four or five hundred people, and only two or three hundred of them can fight with swords.

If it is a team of one or two hundred people, it is not a big problem, but if it is a team of four or five hundred people, it may be very difficult.

By the time the battle is over, more than half of our men might be killed or wounded. There are two to three thousand followers nearby. We may not be able to defeat them if we really fight!
Wu Yunzhong said solemnly: "Brother Xin, this is not an easy fight. The intelligence says that there are no elders, but if there are, it will cause big problems.

Even if there aren't any, some teams have four, five, six, or seven hundred people. We only have so many people, so we can't beat them even if we want to.

Even if we defeat them one by one, we will always lose people at each place we attack. Maybe after hitting two or three places, more than half of our people will be killed or wounded. How can we fight like this? "

When Wu Yunzhong said this, even Ding Yi couldn't help but say, "Yes, Sect Leader Xin, Brother Wu's worries are indeed justified.

Moreover, once the demon cult realizes that we are trying to kill them, they will gather together and not give us the opportunity to defeat them one by one. What will happen then?"

Xin Zhen also frowned. This situation was indeed rather tricky. Although they were fighting in the manner of defeating the enemies one by one, there was a difference in numbers, and the overall strength of the personnel was not high. There was not much room for strategic maneuvering, and this battle was indeed not easy to fight!
At this time, a voice came from outside, and Lin Pingzhi came in with a cold look. Xin Zhen was about to greet him, but was surprised to see Master Fang Sheng from Shaolin following behind him.

"Master Fang Sheng!"

Everyone said hello.

Fang Sheng put his hands together and smiled, "I greet all the donors and masters."

Xin Zhen said happily: "Master Fangsheng, how are you?"

Master Fang Sheng and Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Master Xin, how are you?"

After a while of greeting, Master Fangsheng said, "When we were in Feicheng, Donor Lin told me about your efforts to annihilate the demon sect members. Sect Leader Zuo and Sect Leader Zhenshanzi are deeply grateful to you. This time, I brought the Shaolin disciples out to help you slay the demons and eliminate the evil spirits."

Xin Zhen looked at Lin Pingzhi.

Lin Pingzhi immediately said, "Master Fang Sheng brought out the 108 Arhats from the Shaolin Arhat Hall."

Upon hearing this, Xin Zhen was overjoyed and said, "With the help of the 108 Arhats, great things can be accomplished!"
