On this day, the Huashan faction arrived at Welin Town, and it was already getting dark. There is only one inn in the town, which cannot accommodate the Huashan group. Moreover, there are female relatives accompanying them, so it is inconvenient to stay overnight.

Yue Buqun then said: "Let's drive a little further and talk about it when we get to the town ahead."

Unexpectedly, less than three miles ahead, the axle of the cart that Mrs. Yue was riding broke. Mrs. Yue and Yue Lingshan had no choice but to get out of the car and walk.

Shi Daizi pointed to the northeast corner and said, "Master, there is a temple in the woods over there. How about we go there and stay overnight?"

Mrs. Yue said: "I'm just afraid that it will be inconvenient to have female relatives."

Yue Buqun said: "Dai Zi, you go over and ask. If the monk in the temple doesn't agree, then that's it. There's no need to force it."

Shi Daizi left in response, and after a while he ran back and shouted from a distance: "Master, that is a ruined temple, and there are no monks in it."

Everyone was overjoyed. Tao Jun, Ying Bailuo, Shu Qi and other young disciples ran over first.

When Yue Buqun and Mrs. Yue arrived outside the temple, they saw dark clouds approaching layer by layer on the eastern horizon, and the sky turned dark in an instant.

Mrs. Yue said: "Fortunately there is a ruined temple here, otherwise we would have encountered heavy rain on the way."

Walking into the main hall, I saw a green-faced statue enshrined in the hall, covered with leaves and holding dry grass. It is Shennong's Medicine King Bodhisattva who tastes hundreds of herbs.

Yue Buqun led all his disciples to salute the statue. Before he even opened his bed, lightning flashed and thunder shook the sky, followed by raindrops as big as soybeans, which only made a swishing sound on the tiles.

There was water leaking everywhere in this ruined temple, so everyone stopped unpacking their bedding and found a dry place to sit down. Gao Genming, Liang Fa and three female disciples went to make a fire to cook.

After dinner, everyone found a place to rest. The sound of rain was loud and soft for a while, but it never stopped. Everyone had fallen asleep deeply.

Only Zhao Mingyuan knew what would happen next. He was just meditating and resting with his eyes closed, adjusting his state and preparing for the subsequent battle.

In the rainy night, I don’t know the time. Suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves from the southeast, and about ten horses were galloping along the road.

Yue Buqun was heard shouting loudly: "Everyone, please be silent."

After a while, the dozen or so riders rushed past outside the temple.

At this time, everyone in the Huashan Sect had all woken up, and everyone was waiting with their swords pressed.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the sound of horse hooves passing outside the temple and gradually receding into the distance. Just as he was about to fall asleep again, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming around again. More than ten people came to the outside of the temple on horseback and stopped together.

Then, a clear voice was heard shouting: "Is Mr. Yue from Huashan Pai in the temple? We have something to ask."

Taking advantage of the light of the fire, I saw that each person had a black cloth cover on their head, with only a pair of eyes exposed.

Seeing this, everyone knew that the person coming was not good. If these people are not acquainted with us, or they are afraid that we will remember their faces, their sinister intentions are simply obvious.

Zhao Mingyuan knew that most of the people who came were the Songshan sect and the people they recruited, and that Linghu Chong could still win despite being unable to use his internal strength, so he was not worried at all.

I remember that in the original plot, they dealt a heavy blow to the disciples of the Huashan Sect, and Liang Fa died here. He also spoke dirty words to his wife and female disciples, which was quite disrespectful.

I will not show mercy this time, I will kill him if I need to.

Speaking of which, Zhao Mingyuan has never killed anyone. But since we are in the world, sooner or later it will inevitably happen.

So, let’s start from today!

Zhao Mingyuan unsheathed his sword and stood in front, standing together with his master Yue Buqun to fight against the powerful enemy.

Zhao Mingyuan showed no mercy, took the initiative and showed off his power.

I saw Zhao Mingyuan's sword thrust forward like a shooting star. No matter whether the opponent is blocking or attacking, no matter whether the opponent's weapon is a single sword, a short spear, a steel whip, a chain hammer or a long sword, Zhao Mingyuan always changes his moves and uses the corresponding Dugu Nine Swords moves to attack the weak spots in the opponent's moves. The force is as strong as a broken bamboo. Once the sword strikes, the enemy will be killed with one strike.

For a moment, no one was able to resist Zhao Mingyuan's three moves, and in a moment, seven or eight people were killed in a row.

The remaining people were all horrified. They were gangsters and gangsters gathered by Zuo Lengchan, but they had no intention of killing Zuo Lengchan.

Seeing that many of his companions were killed in front of him, he wanted to retreat, but he was still hesitant as the matter was not done yet.

Seeing this, Zhao Mingyuan remembered that they still had backup. If Jian Zong and Songshan sent them over, and they met, they would be in danger. He simply didn't do anything and rushed towards the remaining people, intending to kill them all.

All the fellow apprentices were dumbfounded when they saw Zhao Mingyuan displaying his power.

Zhao Mingyuan used all his moves to attack the enemy and save them. He only defended but did not attack, but he coincided with the essence of Dugu's Nine Swords, and his understanding of Dugu's Nine Swords reached a new level.

This is reflected in the swordsmanship, which means that the moves are more subtle, more powerful, and more unpredictable. The wonderful moves on the sword are always endless and unpredictable, leaving the opponent confused. They only feel that each sword is as fast as a sword, and each move is stabbing. Attack your own vitals.

It was late at night, and the rain had not stopped. With only the light of the bonfire in the ruined temple, although everyone in the Huashan Sect could see Zhao Mingyuan's swift moves and his sword flowing like light, they could not distinguish the specific sword moves. They just felt that they must be extremely exquisite. This talent Defeat powerful enemies.

Linghu Chong knew that Zhao Mingyuan used not only the Huashan Sword Technique, but also the Dugu Nine Sword Techniques, and the Five Mountains Sword Techniques. He did not expect that Zhao Mingyuan had mastered the Dugu Nine Sword Techniques, and was so advanced in his sword techniques. He was also surprised by the power of the Dugu Nine Swords.

Seeing Zhao Mingyuan coming towards them, the remaining men in black couldn't hold on any longer. They shouted, turned around and ran away.

Zhao Mingyuan knew that there was still an ambush nearby for the Songshan Sect, but the disciples still needed protection, so he did not dare to chase them far, and only chased them for a few dozen feet before returning.

He did some rest and inspection to check whether any of the disciples were injured. Fortunately, Zhao Mingyuan exerted his strength quickly, and only two junior brothers were slightly injured, which was not serious. Zhao Mingyuan felt relieved.

Suddenly, another sound of horse hoofbeats came. Everyone in the Huashan Sect was shocked and clenched their swords.

With the sound of horse hooves in the northeast corner, dozens of horses galloped towards them.

Under the dim light of the fire, only thirty or forty horses were seen galloping along the road. In an instant, they reined in their horses and stood still outside the temple.

Immediately someone shouted: "Turns out he is a friend of the Huashan Sect. Hey! Isn't this Brother Yue?"

Yue Buqun looked at the person who was speaking. It turned out that this person was Lu Bai, the Crane Hand, the Third Taibao of the Songshan Sect, who had come to Huashan before with the Five Sacred Flags.

To Lu Bai's right stood a tall and burly man, Ding Mian, the second eunuch of the Songshan sect. And standing on the left side of Lu Bai was the abandoned disciple of the Huashan Sect, Jian Zongfenping.

The masters of the Taishan and Hengshan sects who came to Huashan that day were actually among them, but there were many more people than when they went up the mountain. Under the dim firelight, the shadows were so blurry that it was hard to recognize them for a while.

I only heard Lu Bai say: "Brother Yue, that day you didn't accept the order flag from the leader of the Zuo Alliance. The leader of the Zuo Alliance was very unhappy and ordered me, Brother Ding and Brother Tang to accept the order flag and then go to Huashan for a visit. Unexpectedly, late at night, It's really unexpected that we will meet here."

Yue Buqun didn't answer silently.

Several people came to the temple, but saw that there were only people from the Huashan sect present, and no other people they did not expect. However, there were several corpses on the ground, all dressed in black, with only the throat and heart and other vital parts struck by swords.

Knowing that things have changed, the plan failed, and the Huashan faction is stronger than expected.

Therefore, Songshan and his party no longer carried out the original plan, but just regarded it as a chance encounter and came here to take shelter from the rain.

Yue Buqun also pretended not to know about this. Everyone stayed up all night and took precautions.

It wasn't until daybreak the next day that the two sides parted ways and went their separate ways. Only then did everyone in the Huashan Sect feel completely relieved.
