Gu Zijin, who had just escaped from the battlefield, immediately led her disciples back to the mountain. However, she arrived a step too late. The originally gorgeous palace had now turned into a mess. She was worried in her heart but did not show it on her face. She immediately ordered everyone The search for survivors begins.
The disciples did not dare to neglect and took action one after another, but the exhaustion in their eyes could not be hidden. They had just fought against the Beggar Clan. Even with the help of Gu Zijin's powerful formation, their losses were very low, but in the end they had won the battle. Now I am coming back in a hurry. Seeing my former home like this, I am really exhausted both physically and mentally.
However, they still faithfully implemented Gu Zijin's order. Soon someone came to report and found traces left by outsiders in front of the secret passage.
Gu Zijin's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
She had already expected that the battlefield between Xuehua Palace and the Beggar Clan was in front of the mountain road. If someone took this road to sneak up the mountain, she would not be unaware of it, so the enemy would most likely go up the mountain through a secret road.
At this moment, she had no time to think about the possibility of the traitor leaking the secret. Instead, she immediately divided the people into two groups. She took most of them down the mountain from the secret passage to continue the exploration, while the others stayed to pack their bags. This Xuehua Palace cannot Stayed.
By doing this, on the one hand, Gu Zijin was worried about Hong Yi's safety. On the other hand, these mysterious people destroyed all the defense facilities on the mountain road. Even if she wanted to defend herself, she couldn't do it. Unexpectedly, the Beggar Gang came back. , she must leave immediately.
Gu Zijin is not Yan Fengyun, she is not that naive. Although she also believes in Yan Fengyun's credibility, it is a pity that the current leader of the Beggar Clan is not Yan Fengyun, but that Lu Shiqi.
Since the other party had even figured out a way to secretly cooperate with Linglong and use a traitor to break into the Xuehua Palace, Gu Zijin could not guarantee whether the other party's credibility would be that reliable.
Facts have proved that her idea was right. Not long after Gu Zijin came down the mountain from the secret passage, Lu Hanjiang came up with the Beggar Clan disciples from the other side, and his efficiency was far higher than before.
The Xuehua Palace disciples who stayed behind were shocked and quickly got into position to delay. However, this time was different from the previous ones. They were overwhelmingly disadvantaged in numbers. In addition, there were experts like Elder Qi on the Beggar Clan, so they were no match at all. .
Within a few moments, all the dozen or so disciples who stayed behind were killed. Lu Hanjiang was not Yan Fengyun, and Elder Qi was not as soft-hearted as those from the dirty clothes sect. They were all killed at this time.
After taking care of these people, Lu Hanjiang asked Elder Qi to divide a small group to search the Xuehua Palace, while most of the others stayed at the entrance of the secret passage and waited.
As for why he was so sure that Gu Zijin would return, it was naturally because the exit of the secret passage at the foot of the mountain was also blocked, and the people on that side who were responsible for blocking the road were his Jin Yiwei.
Bian Guang and Ying Wushang led hundreds of Jinyi guards to block the exit, and each man had a powerful crossbow. They kept a distance and waited for the enemy to fall into the trap.
In terms of martial arts alone, Xue Luosha is not only superior to Bian Guang, the deputy Qianhu, but even Ying Wushang, the Qianhu, is no match. If she wants to leave, this group of people may not be able to stop her.
But the premise is that Gu Zijin is alone. If she has nothing to worry about, with Xiaoyao sect martial arts and a killing move like Cangyan Jiuxiao, Bian Guang and Ying Wushang will have no choice but to give in if they don't want to risk their lives.
Unfortunately, this is just an ideal vision. Gu Zijin is not alone. She also carries dozens of oil bottles behind her. When a group of them came out of the secret passage, they were greeted by a wave of arrows without warning. .
Gu Zijin reacted quickly, and she immediately launched a spinning move. The sudden red flames turned into a barrier and blocked many flying arrows. However, some disciples were caught off guard and were shot dead on the spot.
"Jinyiwei!"
Gu Zijin gritted her teeth, glanced coldly at the Jinyi guards holding crossbows, and chose to retreat without hesitation: "Go back quickly!"
It's not that she doesn't have the courage to take action against Jin Yiwei, but that she cares about the lives of the disciples behind her. If a fight breaks out at this time, she can naturally avoid the arrows and enter the formation to vent her anger, but at the same time, these disciples behind her also They are all definitely dead.
Therefore, Gu Zijin decided to retreat immediately. The secret passage was narrow, and even if the Jin Yiwei came in to pursue them, they would not be able to take advantage of their numerical advantage. Instead, they would be dragged into an embarrassing situation where they could not advance or retreat, which was beneficial to them.
Sure enough, Bian Guang and Ying Wushang did not choose to pursue them. They just asked people to guard the exit and not let any Xuehua Palace disciples come out.
Xue Luosha retreated to the secret passage again and fell into a brief confusion. She never imagined that the person who attacked Xue Hua Palace would actually be the Jin Yiwei. The opponent came so fast and suddenly, which really caught her off guard.
"Palace Master, what should we do?"
It was a weak and confused voice. Gu Zijin raised her head and saw the eyes staring at her, which made her heart inevitably sink.
It is not that Gu Zijin has never encountered desperate situations. Whether it was when she and Li Guishou, Yan Fengyun and the others were sworn brothers to Jinlan, or later when she traveled alone in the world under the name Snow Rakshasa, she had similar experiences.
But now, looking at these eyes, she felt a heavy pressure that could not be removed from her heart.
"no need to worry."
Hiding the fatigue in his eyes, Gu Zijin said calmly: "Even if the Jin Yiwei can seal the secret passage, they can't surround the entire mountain. They can't mobilize so many people silently in the North. We Let’s go back to Xuehua Palace to repair and make plans later.”
Gu Zijin is the backbone of everyone. Once her mind is set, others will naturally follow suit.
So everyone in Xuehua Palace returned along the original path of the secret passage. Unexpectedly, what greeted them at the end of the secret passage was not a rare respite, but the sticks of the Beggar Gang.
"It is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the Tao, and it is today that we become famous all over the world!"
"In order to avenge the dead brothers, we must never let them go!"
The red-eyed disciples of the Beggar Gang blocked the entrance to the secret passage and once again caught Xuehua Palace off guard. At this time, the disciples of Xuehua Palace had not yet dispersed. One was because of the spirit Gu Zijin had cultivated over the years, and the other was because of them. There is no way out.
In front are the disciples of the Beggar Clan, and in the back are the Imperial Guards! No matter how scary these beggars are, are they still as scary as those crazy dogs carrying embroidered spring knives? There are wolves in front of them and tigers in the back. They can only stand on the battlefield. Only in this way can they have a chance of survival.
But this time, even with the presence of Snow Rakshasa, they were unable to save the day. The disciples of the Beggar Clan were already many times stronger than Snow Flower Palace. They were able to win the previous battle with an overwhelming advantage because of their formations. However, the battlefield is now extremely narrow and unusual. It can't be used at all.
Secondly, it was impossible for Gu Zijin to capture the thief first because the leader of the Beggar Clan did not show up at all, and it was Elder Qi who led this group of disciples.
The elder had already set up a dog-fighting formation outside. If Gu Zijin dared to come, he would close the door and beat the dog. There were disciples of the Beggar Clan guarding the entrance of the secret passage, and it would be impossible for the opponent to use the formation to turn over.
This style of play is extremely safe, but one disadvantage is that it hurts others and themselves. Although they used their battlefield advantage to seal Xuehua Palace's formation, they also gave up their own advantage of using more to attack fewer.
In the long and narrow secret passage, it is roughly estimated that only two or three Beggar Clan disciples can replace one Xuehua Palace disciple. Although this move forced Xuehua Palace into a desperate situation, the Beggar Clan disciples also suffered heavy losses.
Elder Qi didn't feel bad. After all, the people he arranged to charge to death were all disciples of the Dirty Clothes Sect. Elders Gan and Wu were not here, and no one dared to resist no matter how he drove them.
As for Lu Hanjiang, he is even less distressed. The royal guards raised by the imperial court with real money and silver are his assets, so naturally he is reluctant to use them. And these disciples of the Beggar Clan were just taken from him by occupying the magpie's nest. Of course, he did not want to use them. Will care.
It doesn't matter that Snow Rakshasa has great martial arts skills. It's amazing that he tried so hard to kill people, ten, twenty, a hundred, and she would be exhausted to death even if he was tired!
