Zhongnan Mountain, deep in the Dita Peak
Even the locals rarely know that a nunnery is hidden among these vast mountains.
Although the female disciples of Cihang Jingzhai do not shave their heads or meditate and chant sutras, they are indeed a group of nuns.
It's like some people who do nothing but still call themselves hardworking oxen.
The founder of Cihang Jingzhai was known as Dini, who integrated Buddhist and Daoist thought and co-authored " Cihang Sword Canon " with Tian Seng, the founder of Jingnian Zen Monastery.
Both were known as the righteous leaders of the martial arts world and wielded considerable influence over the martial arts community.
This is also an important reason why monks and nuns have close relationships in TV dramas.
Both sides are a group of ambitious individuals who, under the guise of "saving the world and benefiting the people," actually interfere in national affairs for their own interests and make political investments.
Even if someone dislikes them, they wouldn't lay a hand on these people.
After all, it's better to believe in fate than not.
But Xu Xiao was the first to target them, not only Cihang Jingzhai, but also Jingnian Zen Monastery, and even the entire Buddhist community in the world was to be purged.
Xu Xiao will eradicate these sects that spout empty words of compassion but actually do nothing and love to cause trouble.
Today, the Yuwen Family's private army entered Zhongnan Mountain and quickly found a cluster of buildings in the Yamanaka.
The Cihang Jingzhai is quite large; the road to the mountain gate alone has seven layers of wooden doors, not to mention the other buildings.
Some of the female disciples of Cihang Jingzhai drew their swords to block the enemy's advance, but they were no match for the army.
Those who needed to be attacked were attacked, and those who needed to be captured were captured. The army advanced without any hindrance and quickly captured about ten disciples.
You know what, they're all young and beautiful women. I don't know where Cihang Jingzhai found so many promising talents.
In response, Xu Xiao waved his hand and promised to reward the most valiant soldiers in the army afterward, which instantly boosted the morale of the entire army.
For most ordinary people, money and women are the best prizes.
However, the good times didn't last long. As the experts of Cihang Jingzhai discovered that someone was attacking the mountain gate, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
The current head of Cihang Jingzhai, Fan Qinghui, led a large group of elders to confront the Yuwen Family's private army at the mountain gate.
" The Yuwen Clan! You have led your troops to invade my mountain gate without cause. Do you intend to start a war against Cihang Jingzhai?"
Fan Qinghui demanded an explanation in a stern voice.
Speaking of which, Fan Qinghui is about the same age as Li Yuan, but she looks like a beautiful mature woman in her early thirties.
Having mastered the Cihang Sword Canon to the point of ' Clear Sword Heart,' he was just one step away from catching up with the founder of the sect, and in terms of combat strength, he was definitely Grandmaster.
Extremely confident in her own cultivation, Fan Qinghui was not afraid even if the Yuwen Family's army pressed in.
Even if it means mutual destruction, and Cihang Jingzhai suffers some losses, she can definitely wipe out the invading Yuwen Family leaders.
After all, the Yuwen Family doesn't have Grandmaster in charge, and there aren't enough soldiers here to form an encirclement.
However, Yuwen Shang, riding ahead, showed no fear whatsoever. He spoke with great interest to Yuwen Huaji beside him:
"There really is such a nunnery deep in these mountains; I never discovered it before."
"Uncle is right. If the adults hadn't reminded me, we wouldn't have known that there was such a powerful martial arts sect so close to our Yuwen Family."
Yuwen Huaji nodded in agreement.
He had just witnessed the battle between the army and the disciples of Cihang Jingzhai. Although they were all women, each of them was quite skilled.
This is enough to prove that Cihang Jingzhai has real skills.
'No wonder the adults were eyeing them; it probably wasn't just because of their looks.'
'We need to act quickly; we can't keep the adults waiting, or it will affect their perception of the Yuwen Family.'
Thinking of this, Yuwen Huaji stepped forward and accused Fan Qinghui of a serious crime.
" The Cihang Jingzhai sect spreads heresies and misleads the public. Its disciples have been spreading rumors throughout the world. Today, I, the chief steward, have come here to wipe you out. Those who know what's good for them have better surrender."
Yuwen Huaji was used to labeling people, but he didn't say he was on anyone's orders to cause trouble.
Fan Qinghui immediately pinned the blame on Yang Guang:
"Ha! That tyrant has the nerve to accuse us of spreading rumors! It's because of his cruelty, inhumanity, and extravagance that the world has been thrown into such chaos."
"Our Cihang Jingzhai upholds the principles of righteousness and is determined to choose a worthy ruler for the world to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Sui Emperor."
"You have stormed my mountain gate and injured my disciples today, and you still dare to speak so arrogantly? Do you think I will let you off?"
An inexplicable aura of pressure emanated from Fan Qinghui, causing many soldiers to consider putting down their weapons.
The power of Grandmaster is evident.
Fan Qinghui created the Stop War Sword Technique, which allows her to subdue enemies without fighting through Grandmaster- level Kamui. She can even use her status as an old lover to force back Heavenly Saber Song Que.
At this moment, she exuded an overwhelming aura, and the lower-ranking soldiers were simply unable to resist her power to stop the fighting.
Even Yuwen Huaji began to consider ceasing the use of force.
Below the level of Grandmaster, all are but ants; at this level, only a master of the same rank can contend with them.
At the critical moment, another powerful mental wave swept across the entire field, completely negating Fan Qinghui's aura and even injuring her.
'Wow!'
A mouthful of blood spurted from her mouth. Before she could wipe it away, Fan Qinghui immediately looked around and spoke sharply:
"Which Grandmaster is standing up for the Yuwen Family? Please come out and have a chat!"
" Yuwen Huaji, you guys really disappoint me. If you want to fight, then fight. Why waste your breath on empty talk?"
"Once we win, there's plenty of time to waste on trash talk."
A deep male voice rang out, and everyone in the Yuwen Family felt a chill run down their spines.
In particular, Yuwen Huaji, who was specifically criticized, stopped talking and directly raised his arms to shout:
"Brothers, follow me! Let 'Cihang Jingzhai to the ground!"
"Uncle! Give me your help and let's fight this witch together."
The soldiers formed ranks and attacked, while Yuwen Huaji and Yuwen Shang joined forces to fight against Fan Qinghui.
When Yuwen Shang was just one step away from becoming Grandmaster, Yuwen Huaji was also one of the best among the top-tier experts.
The two combined their strength, using the same inherited Ice Profound Energy, and their coordination was remarkably smooth.
True energy surged forth, and frost rippled between his palms.
The surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, and the soldiers and disciples of Cihang Jingzhai dared not get too close.
" Fire Fly dares to rival the moon's brilliance! Do you think that just because a master has broken my Grandmaster aura, you can fight me?"
"Take this!!"
Fan Qinghui used half her strength to wield her longsword and engage in a fierce battle with Yuwen and the other two, while keeping an eye on the unseen Grandmaster expert.
She prided herself on having made friends with heroes from all over the world and knowing Grandmaster from all corners of the land, yet she couldn't recognize who had just spoken!
'Who could it be? Could it be a rising star of the Demonic Sect?'
