After the turmoil on Yingzhen Mountain calmed down for a few days, Qiong Li and other disciples of the Yingzhen Sect came to Wang Dalu and several others to discuss how to deal with Wuwei Fort's crazy revenge.
Wang Dalu believes that the top priority is to wait for the leader of the Yingzhen sect, Rong Ying, to come out of seclusion. The other disciples can pack their bags and follow Qian Dayong, Zhao Gensheng, and Xue Xiaocui back to Nanshan City.
Qiong Li also felt that Wang Dalu's method was feasible.
Now we can't stay in Yingzhen Mountain any longer.
Although now that Head Nie has returned, his cultivation is far superior to Qin Wei of Wuwei Castle at the peak level of Ningxu, but there is still a super sect Dao Chi Sect standing behind Wuwei Castle.
There are great monks in Daochi Sect.
Qin Wei's son Qin Lang is the apprentice of one of the three supreme elders of the Dao Chi Sect. No one can guarantee whether Qin Lang will invite his master to come and settle accounts with them in person.
The great monks have been able to mobilize some of the power of the real head in their bodies, which is far beyond what they can compete with.
Xue Xiaocui was a little reluctant to leave. Under Li Shishi's persuasion, she talked with Sun Er all night before following the others down the mountain this morning.
Now the only ones left behind in the Yingzhen faction are Wang Dalu, Li Shishi, Sun Er, Xiang Guang, Jiang Hongyu, Qiong Li, Qu Min, and Nie Zi and Rong Ying from the back mountain.
Everyone was waiting for Rong Ying to come out of confinement before leaving.
Wang Dalu asked Sun Er and Xiang Guang to guard the area near Yingzhen Mountain and pay attention to the suspicious people hovering near Yingzhen Mountain.
Among the few people, only Master Li was a good cook, so he took care of everyone's meals.
Nie Zi built a simple thatched house next to the entrance of Rong Ying's retreat, and Qu Min brought him three meals a day.
Days like this passed without realizing it for more than two months.
Qiong Li counts the days when her master Rong Ying will be released from confinement every day.
"It seems that the master will be released from seclusion in three months."
Wang Dalu was overjoyed to hear what Qiong Li said, and at the same time, he hoped in his heart that Wuwei Fort would discover the situation here later.
But his wish was not fulfilled. When Li Shishi asked everyone to eat in the dining hall in the evening, he found that Sun Er and Xiang Guang had not returned.
At this time in the past, the two of them had already come back, so they couldn't help but feel a little worried.
They waited for more than an hour. Just as Wang Dalu was about to get up and take a look at the bottom of the mountain with his sword, he heard Qu Min shouting from outside the door to the house.
"They're back! Huh? They seem to be back with someone."
Wang Dalu and others walked out of the dining hall, and sure enough they saw Sun Er and Xiang Guang walking along the avenue towards this business.
Sun Er also held a thin middle-aged man in his hand.
When he arrived in front of Wang Dalu, Sun Er threw the man in his hand to the ground and said to Wang Dalu.
"The young master has been sneaking around Yingzhenshang for more than two hours, so we caught him and interrogated him. Unfortunately, he never told the truth."
"Oh, really."
Wang Dalu asked, looking at the people at his feet.
"I just want to ask you, do you want to recruit or not?"
The man lay on the ground and said angrily to Wang Dalu.
"Who are you and why did you arrest me here? I've already told you that I'm just a passerby passing by here accidentally."
Xiang Guang said from the side.
"That's nonsense. If you passed by, you should have left early. Why are you still sneaking around here? Don't tell me that you are still a monk who has reached the realm of Yuanyuan."
"I..."
Wang Dalu smiled and said loudly to Jiang Hongyu who was behind him.
"Brother Jiang, you alchemists should have poison on your body, right?"
Jiang Hongyu nodded.
"That's right. I don't know what kind of thing you want, Brother Wang? I brought a lot of self-defense items when I was going down the mountain."
Wang Dalu thought for a while, looked at the man who was a little frightened, and said.
"The kind that makes people feel the pain of bone-eroding pain without dying."
Jiang Hongyu stretched out his hand, spread his fingers, and with a thought, a medicine bottle with a red cloth lid and a porcelain white body appeared.
He opened it, poured out a black pill, and said something.
"Brother Wang, please take a look. This pill is called Bone Erosion Pill. It is made from seven or eight kinds of poisons. Ordinary people will die within three days after taking it."
Jiang Hongyu pointed to the thin man kneeling on the ground and said.
"If I give it to him, he should be able to survive for six or seven days."
Seeing Wang Dalu picking up the pills from his hand and looking at them, Jiang Hongyu said again.
"This medicine can make the person who takes it feel the pain all over the body and heart all the time. When using it, it is best to tie him up and gag him to prevent him from being unable to bear the pain and commit suicide."
This Jiang Hongyu is an elixir fanatic. When it comes to elixirs, he talks endlessly and explains all the effects of this bone-eroding pill in detail.
The few people nearby didn't feel numb after hearing this, and they couldn't help but feel cold when they looked at the black pill in Wang Dalu's hand.
Wang Dalu smiled.
"You two, feed this brother as Brother Jiang said."
Before Sun Er and Xiang Guang could take the pills from Wang Dalu's hand, the man who was kneeling and listening was already paralyzed with fear. He kept kowtowing to Wang Dalu and begging for mercy, speaking straightly.
"I said, I said...Hero, spare your life!"
After hearing this man's truth, everyone knew that there was probably going to be another fierce battle in Yingzhen Mountain.
Qin Wei, the owner of Wuwei Fort, had already left the border two months ago.
He has been waiting for the news that Qin Ming, Feng Wanli and Ying Wang came to Yingzhen Mountain to capture Rong Ying for him.
After waiting for a month without seeing the letter, Qin Wei knew that something must have happened to these people, otherwise there were no masters in the Yingzhen sect, and the leader Rong Ying was injured and should have returned long ago.
He sent people to the Luo Feng Sect and the Iron Hand Gang respectively to inquire about information, and the reports revealed that there were only some old and weak members left in those two sects.
Feng Wanli, the leader of the Luofeng Sect, and Ying Wang, the leader of the Iron Hand Gang, took their disciples out and have not returned yet.
Moreover, both factions are clamoring for Wuweibao to give an explanation.
The masters of the two factions went out to do things for Wuwei Castle, but now they don't know where to go, so how can they not be in a hurry.
Qin Wei was immediately furious and wanted to bring someone to check it out in person, but was persuaded by a counselor beside him.
The counselor's name was Ma Su. It is said that he was a scholar who failed many times in Wu Zonggong's dynasty because he only had a lot of knowledge but no practice.
In the imperial court, such people have always been looked down upon. Cultivation is the main focus, and knowledge is only a supplement.
Ma Su traveled through half of the dynasty and did not receive any appreciation from anyone. On the contrary, he was either ridiculed or beaten with sticks, and he was mistakenly thought to be a madman.
Frustrated, he went to an unnamed barren mountain to commit suicide, but he was accidentally saved by Qin Wei and Qin Lang, his father and son who were passing by.
From then on, Wuwei Fort had an additional military advisor named Ma Mou, who helped Wuwei Fort continue to expand its power.
In more than ten years, the strength of Wuwei Fort has doubled, becoming a large sect with a radius of thousands of miles.
Some even said that Qin Lang's ability to be appreciated by the Supreme Elder of Daochi Sect was not accidental but the result of Ma Mou's careful planning.
Using some benefits to let Luofengmen and the Iron Hand Gang work for Wuwei Fort was also done by Ma Mou.
When Ma Mou learned that the Luo Feng Clan and Iron Shou Gang people had not returned and there was no news at all, he knew that something big had happened to the destruction of the Ying Zhen Sect, so he persuaded Qin Wei.
In his opinion, Feng Wanli and Eagle King were both good at cultivation, and if they could retain them, the Yingzhen Sect must have found a master to help them.
When Rong Ying went to participate in the Mangdang Mountain Group Cultivation Conference, hoping to find helpers to deal with Wuwei Fort, Ma Mou secretly sabotaged it.
Ma Mou was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he asked Feng Wanli and Ying Wang to sneak attack and capture Rong Ying on her way back from Mangdang Mountain. Unfortunately, Rong Ying was injured and fled back to the sect.
There are experts on Yingzhen Mountain, so naturally the owner of Wuwei Fort should not be put in danger.
This time Ma Mou brought a dozen people to Yingzhen Mountain to investigate the situation.
Wang Dalu learned this from the disciples of Wuweibao who had captured Ma Mou, and he couldn't help but change his impression of those sour scholars.
Wang Dalu felt a little relieved knowing that Wuwei Castle did not send high-level monks.
He asked Sun Er to put the captured man back.
The other people didn't know, and Wang Dalu didn't explain, so he asked Qu Min to find Nie Zi and follow him secretly to the bottom of the mountain to explore.
The disciple from Wuweibao ran down the mountain and walked for more than two hours and fifty miles to a grass temple.
The disciple knocked on the door twice, and someone opened the door from the inside to welcome him in, and then closed the door of the Cao Temple.
From behind, Nie Zi saw the firelight shining through the crack of the door that had just been opened and closed, and could vaguely see seven or eight people sitting inside, with a middle-aged Confucian scholar wearing a white robe sitting in the middle.
Nie Zi slowly walked to the roof of the thatched temple, opened a small piece of rubble, and lay down to take a closer look inside.
Nie Zi saw the Wuweibao disciple who had been captured before standing in front of the middle-aged Confucian scholar and describing what he had seen in the Yingzhen Sect.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar is about six feet tall, has thin eyebrows and a high nose. The most noticeable thing about this Confucian scholar is that he has a black mole between his eyebrows.
Just listen to what he said to the Wuweibao disciple in front of him.
"Oh, so there are several strange monks in the Yingzhen Sect?"
The disciple said hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, disciple saw many strange faces."
"Well, I sent you there precisely because you have met the disciples of the Yingzhen Sect before."
The Confucian scholar thought for a while and said again.
"Then have you ever seen those ordinary disciples of Yingzhen Sect?"
"this…"
This disciple of Wuweibao thought for a while and said.
"Except for the eldest disciple Qiong Li and the second disciple Qu Min of the Yingzhen sect, I haven't seen any of the other disciples."
The Confucian scholar sighed after hearing this.
"It seems that they have been prepared for a long time and have transferred the ordinary disciples. It seems that we will not be able to complete the tasks assigned by the castle master this time."
The Confucian scholar pointed at the disciple and said.
"Take me up the mountain tomorrow. I'm going to make amends with them. I hope I can resolve some of the grudges between Wuwei Fort and Yingzhen Sect."
Someone next to me said in shock.
"But the fort master's order is for us to investigate the situation on the mountain and wait for him to make the final decision."
"If you are not going to accept your order, this matter is no longer possible. Don't force it. I will bear all the responsibilities when I return to the castle, so you can rest assured."
After listening to what the Confucian scholar said, the others felt at ease and sat on the ground again.
At this moment, Nie Zi stood up on the top of the temple and disappeared into the dark night.
