Chapter 207 Wudang Rebellion
Li Ming was quite surprised to see Lu Jianxing appear. He didn't expect that he would appear here so soon after they parted.
The magician gestured, and Lu Jianxing immediately told the story again.
Only then did Li Ming understand.
It turned out that people had been secretly mobilized at the foot of Wudang Mountain. Some of them were from the Eastern Depot, some were from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and there were also many elite officers and soldiers, all of whom were disguised and lurking at the foot of the mountain.
Lu Jianxing was also among them.
The operation was carried out in extreme secrecy, and even the Wudang Sect was unable to detect any clues.
It was Li Ming who felt something was wrong, so he asked the power hidden in the dark by Black Stone to investigate, and only then did they discover the abnormality.
As luck would have it, the magician met Lu Jianxing while investigating the matter.
Back then in Qixia Town, it was Cai Xishi and others who secretly followed and monitored Lu Jianxing. Even though he was in disguise now, they still recognized him at a glance.
After secretly capturing Lu Jianxing, they wanted to torture him, but he immediately said that he knew Li Ming, so the playwright brought him here. According to Lu Jianxing, a large number of imperial court troops have gathered at the foot of Wudang Mountain to cooperate with the action of the Hulong Villa and eliminate the Wudang Sect.
Even Li Ming was surprised when these words were spoken.
Although I expected there would be action, I didn't expect that Huolong Villa would be so ambitious!
Like the Shaolin Temple, the Wudang Sect is a transcendent place that has stood in the martial arts world for many years and has a special status.
For many years, no one dared to think of destroying it, but Hulong Villa planned to do so.
It seems that the court's previous easing of the crackdown on the underworld was indeed a delaying tactic.
Li Ming interrogated Lu Jianxing and roughly figured out the power distribution of the imperial court troops at the foot of the mountain. After some consideration, he let him go.
The other party was shot by his own life and death talisman, and he took the initiative to confess such a secret. He would not lie, otherwise he would not have a good ending.
But Li Ming was still worried. After letting Lu Jianxing leave, he immediately ordered Cai Xishi and others to conduct a secret investigation based on the information provided by Lu Jianxing.
Soon, news came back saying that the information they found was exactly the same as what Lu Jianxing said, and Li Ming was relieved.
Since this involves the Hulong Villa, Li Ming immediately had a direction.
Li Jiuhua was called over and given some instructions, and he immediately left.
In the evening, a figure in black appeared and met Li Ming.
It was Duan Tianya whom I hadn’t seen for a long time.
When he saw Li Ming, Duan Tianya looked distant but also complicated.
Because ever since Li Ming let him go back last time, Duan Tianya has been secretly investigating.
Sure enough, the result was exactly the same as what Li Ming told him.
His adoptive father and master, the Iron-Hearted Divine Marquis Zhu Wusi, was indeed a man with two faces and one word.
He and several other disciples were also included in the other party's plan.
This strong contrast made Duan Tianya immediately discouraged, and his loyalty to Zhu Wusi disappeared completely.
During this period of time, Li Ming has been trying to contact Duan Tianya through Blackstone's special channels, but Duan Tianya has always been lukewarm.
At this moment, knowing that the power of Hulong Villa was nearby, Li Ming immediately contacted Duan Tianya.
Sure enough, he was also at the foot of Wudang Mountain.
After a conversation, Li Ming learned a lot about the situation of Huolong Villa from Duan Tianya. He also learned that under Duan Tianya's secret contact, Gui Hai Yidao and Shangguan Haitang also saw Zhu Wusi's true face and had second thoughts.
After the two of them discussed it, they separated without anyone noticing.
A few days later, a group of grand masters gathered again in the main hall of Wudang Sect.
Zhang Sanfeng sat in the main seat with a smiling face.
It seems that his disciple Yu Daying's condition has improved recently, and he will be able to recover in time, which makes him feel much better.
"My fellow practitioners, thank you for coming here. I have gathered you all here today so that we can officially start studying the secret method of impacting the Heavenly Man Realm together."
Zhang Sanfeng said this and turned his head away.
The Taoist priest Mu, who was standing nearby, came over with a few Taoist boys and handed a few pieces of paper to each of the people present.
There is a lot of content written on it.
Zhang Sanfeng explained: "What is recorded here is part of the secret method of impact, and it is also what you need to master. With your qualifications, you should be able to comprehend it thoroughly soon."
"Once you have mastered it, let's get started. After it's done, I will hand over the complete secret method to you as a reward, and there will also be other thank-you gifts."
As Zhang Sanfeng spoke, everyone present looked at the papers in their hands intently.
Soon, they discovered the special thing.
This is a secret method to merge the true Qi of several people together.
It is not difficult. Just as Master Zhang said, I quickly mastered it.
After making sure that everyone had remembered it, Zhang Sanfeng led everyone to the back mountain.
A spacious training ground has been prepared here long ago.
After everyone took their positions according to the special formation, Master Zhang signaled everyone to prepare to perform his secret technique.
Everything seemed so smooth.
Standing closely behind Zhang Sanfeng is Mu Dao Ren, the second-in-command of the Wudang Sect.
Around them, Song Yuanqiao and other disciples were waiting with anticipation.
They were unconsciously a little nervous, worried, yet looking forward to witnessing their master break through to the Heavenly Man Realm with their own eyes.
After everything was ready, Mu Daoren looked at Zhang Sanfeng's back, and a different look suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Om..."
With a subtle sound, he condensed his true energy, but he did not follow the secret method. Instead, he condensed it into a sharp spike and pierced Zhang Sanfeng's back.
At the same time, several figures in the field, as if receiving a signal, suddenly attacked the people around them.
Huo Xiu waved his palm towards Dugu Yihe.
Dongfang Bubai faced Ximen Chuxue.
Yao Yue Lianxing took a few steps back and avoided the edge of the area.
"boom!"
The gate to the backyard was smashed open. At the same time, shouts and sounds of fighting were heard from the Wudang Sect.
"what's the situation?"
Song Yuanqiao and other disciples who were originally concentrating on their studies turned back in shock and looked outside with confusion in their eyes.
Why did a fight suddenly break out inside the door?
After Mu Dao Ren made his move, there was almost a smug smile on his face.
No one knows Zhang Sanfeng's strength better than him.
It is powerful, but it is absolutely impossible for him to be careless and avoid his fatal blow.
However, Mu Daoren's expression froze instantly.
Because Zhang Sanfeng's figure actually fluctuated and then disappeared.
The moment he attacked, the opponent had already dodged!
A familiar sigh came into Mu Daoren's ears.
"Junior brother, why are you doing this?"
Mu Dao Ren was frightened and dodged quickly. When he looked over, he found Zhang Sanfeng standing not far away.
He could have taken action just now, but he did not pursue. Instead, his eyes were full of disappointment.
Mu Dao Ren was extremely shocked.
The other party looked like he clearly knew that I was going to take action!
How is this going?
Mu Dao Ren was a little confused for a moment, not knowing which link went wrong.
Glancing sideways, he saw that Dongfang Bubai and Huo Xiu, who had joined forces with him, also failed to succeed.
Although they launched a surprise attack, Dugu Yihe and others responded in time as if they knew about it in advance.
Once the two sides fight, with their strength, it will be difficult to determine the winner within a hundred moves.
Huo Xiu and Dongfang Bubai immediately retreated and broke away from the fight.
However, there was a flash of doubt in the eyes of several people. "Could it be that the news of the operation was exposed in advance?"
This was the first thought that flashed through their minds.
But outside, inside the Wudang Sect's mountain gate, the sound of fighting did not stop. Instead, it became more and more intense and got closer and closer.
Zhang Sanfeng looked outside and a hint of worry flashed across his face.
But then, his eyes were focused on Zhu Wusi.
"Zhu Wusi? I never thought that Wudang could attract the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis to visit us. But it is really impolite of the Divine Marquis to come here uninvited and even barge into our mountain gate."
Zhang Sanfeng said in a deep voice.
"Hahaha, the world is so big, I can go anywhere, why do I need others to point fingers at me?"
Zhu Wusi smiled with a forced smile and glanced across the field.
He also found that things had changed and it seemed that the information had been leaked.
But he was only slightly panicked and immediately calmed down.
The fighting got louder.
With a scream, a Wudang disciple flew over and landed heavily at the feet of the Iron-Hearted Godly Marquis Zhu Wusi.
At the same time, a figure flashed from behind, wearing black clothes, it was Duan Tianya!
He captured the Wudang disciple and threw him aside.
Several men who followed closely rushed forward and pinned him to the ground to control him.
When Song Yuanqiao and other members of the Wudang Sect saw this scene, they could not help but stare in anger.
"Let go of my disciples!"
Just as Song Yuanqiao and others were about to rush forward, a strong wind suddenly blew.
Several dark shadows appeared and entangled them.
Liu Xi?
Li Ming immediately recognized this old acquaintance of his.
It seems that people from the East Factory are also involved.
In addition to Liu Xi, there are Zhao Jingzhong and a guy who looks like a eunuch wielding a meteor hammer.
On the other side, Gui Hai Yidao and Shangguan Haitang appeared wearing conical hats. They joined forces to stop Song Yuanqiao and other Wudang masters.
"Yuanqiao, come back."
Seeing that the other party came prepared, Zhang Sanfeng immediately scolded him.
This time Song Yuanqiao made a feint and retreated to Zhang Sanfeng's side.
But during this period of time, countless Eastern Depot men and imperial soldiers had gathered nearby.
Soon, dense crowds of figures appeared on the surrounding walls and roofs.
They held bows and crossbows, bird guns or the divine fire thunder bombs produced by Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall, and stared at the people in the field with eager eyes.
Not far away, Duan Tianya and his men, escorting a group of Wudang disciples, appeared in sight.
Witnessing this scene, Zhang Sanfeng's eyes suddenly became filled with anger.
This was the first time in hundreds of years that someone had made him so angry.
"Zhu Wusi, you are a great Divine Marquis and the current emperor's uncle. Is it beneath your dignity to use ordinary disciples of our sect as a threat?"
Zhang Sanfeng questioned patiently.
"Haha, it's not your turn to tell me what to do."
"Besides, I dare not take it lightly when dealing with you. It is normal to use any means."
When Tiedan Shenhou said this, he looked proudly at the group of captured Wudang disciples.
He had been planning today's action for a long time.
They even sent people to develop spies and insiders within the Wudang Sect early on.
Now that he has this group of Wudang disciples in his hands, even if he doesn't force the other party to submit, he will at least make them lose their minds.
Zhu Wushi's tone suddenly turned cold.
"If you want to keep your disciples alive, then surrender. Otherwise, if you fight back, I will kill one of you!"
"You! Despicable!"
Upon hearing this, Song Yuanqiao couldn't help but burst into cursing.
But he immediately turned his hateful gaze towards Mu Dao Ren who was not far away.
It is normal for the Iron-Hearted Godly Marquis Zhu Wusi to use various means, after all, he is an outsider.
But what he found most difficult to accept was Mu Daoren's rebellion!
He is his uncle and the second most important person in Wudang Sect.
Could you have the heart to collude with outsiders and watch them massacre Wudang disciples?
Mu Dao Ren was a little panicked at first, but when he saw Zhu Wusi and the imperial troops appear, especially the capture of a large number of Wudang disciples, he immediately felt relieved and his expression regained its composure.
Noticing Song Yuanqiao's gaze, Mu Dao Ren chuckled.
"It doesn't matter what you think, but the Wudang Sect has been in decline for too long under your hands. Once the cleanup is complete, I will naturally use my own way to completely revive the Wudang Sect!"
“Master Zhang, we all joined Wudang because of you, but you have been indifferent to worldly affairs for decades and passed the position of head to the useless guy Song Yuanqiao. This is really disappointing to everyone.”
Taoist Mu looked at Zhang Sanfeng and expressed his true thoughts.
"Why waste so much time talking to them? I'll give you a few seconds to give up resistance immediately."
As soon as Zhu Wusi finished speaking, Ding Peng beside him laughed disdainfully.
"Humph, you captured a group of Wudang disciples. What does that have to do with me? If we really want to leave, can you guys, like you, stop us?"
When Zhu Wushi heard Ding Peng say this, he was not angry, but smiled coldly.
"Haha, you can try. Since I'm doing this, didn't I do anything before?"
"Ok?"
Ding Peng frowned, having a bad feeling in his heart, and hurriedly checked the condition of his body.
Grandmasters of their level are not only powerful but also experienced. What kind of despicable tactics have they not seen in the world?
It is difficult to make them fall for ordinary tricks.
Zhu Wusi smiled and said, "I know you are cautious, so I used three kinds of strange medicines to lay out my plan in the past few days. I have already tricked you without you even noticing."
"None of these three miraculous medicines are poisonous, but when combined together, they can cause your true energy to condense and become unable to be mobilized..."
Zhu Wusi was very proud.
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a voice beside him.
"God Lord is really calculating, but didn't you notice that your so-called miraculous medicine has already been replaced by me?"
The person who spoke was Li Ming.
Tianshan Tonglao and Li Qiushui, who were standing beside them, also had a look of disdain on their faces.
"To play this trick in front of our Xiaoyao Sect is really showing off your skills."
Zhu Wushi's smile froze on his face.
He was about to speak when Zhang Sanfeng suddenly disappeared from the spot.
"not good!"
Zhu Wusi was startled, then gave the order without thinking.
"Duan Tianya, hurry up!"
"As ordered!"
Duan Tianya agreed, but turned around and slashed the sword to kill the imperial soldiers next to him.
This sudden betrayal caught the court officials around him off guard.
