Xie Xun pondered for a moment and said: "The imperial court should only come here for my Mingjiao. It shouldn't be difficult for everyone to come down the mountain."
Peng Yingyu said anxiously from the side: "Leader, let's..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Xun waved his hand and stopped him.
As soon as Xie Xun said this, Huashan Mountain was silent, and no one knew how to answer his words. That's what happened, but if it was revealed, it would be difficult to handle.
The Beggar Gang once made huge sacrifices to resist the Mongols. The two gang leaders, Huang Rong and Yelu Qi, both died on the front line. If Yelu Yuanru retreated in front of the Yuan soldiers, he would not only be sorry to his ancestors, but also find it difficult to convince the public after he went out.
Patriarch Emei is the daughter of the hero Guo Jing and the heroine Huang Rong. Although Master Miejie is a monk, she also hopes to defeat the Mongols and restore the Han family. If she could take out the "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" inside the dragon-slaying knife, she would also like to hand it over to an anti-Yuan patriot and contribute to the great cause of anti-Yuan. This is also her ideal. So even if she hated Mingjiao, she couldn't just live under the heavy pressure of the court.
Shaolin is concerned about the reputation of the sect. You don't have to compete with the court head-on, but if you really get into the Mongols' crotch, then Shaolin will no longer be the largest sect in the world, and its thousands of years of good reputation will be in vain.
The remaining people looked at these giants without saying a word, and they did not dare to speak casually for fear of getting into trouble.
At this moment, a loud shout came from the bottom of the mountain: "We only want the Mingjiao, others can come down the mountain at any time."
As soon as these words came out, the imperial court's thoughts were made clear. Even if everyone didn't say it with their mouths, their minds started to act.
Xie Xun stood up and said, "In that case, let's go down the mountain now."
No one moved. This first step was not easy to take. If you took it, you would be scolded.
Peng Yingyu whispered: "Leader, if they really leave like this, we are afraid of being outnumbered!"
Xie Xun said: "We can't force them to tie us up. Even if they stay, they may not have bad intentions. Besides, even if they stay to help us, can we really trust them? What if they take advantage of the chaos and attack us? If we use evil hands, our losses will be even heavier. We are the only comrades who can safely hand over our backs. In this crisis moment, human nature cannot stand the test, and we can only rely on ourselves."
At this time, Song Yuanqiao led the Wudang Five Heroes to stand up and come to Xie Xun, saying: "Thank you, Master, let's rush down together."
Xie Xun did not refuse, but patted Song Yuanqiao's shoulder with a smile and said, "Okay, let's fight side by side today."
Wudang's step forward made other sects a little bit embarrassed.
The rise of Wudang puts the greatest pressure on Shaolin. Zhang Sanfeng was born in Shaolin, but he excelled in his skills and is known as the best in the world. If he is defeated by Wudang in front of the Mongols today, it will be difficult for Shaolin to compete with Wudang in the future.
Today they were beaten up by the Mingjiao Fatty. Even if they were reluctant to help the Mingjiao, they had to stay.
As the largest gang in the world, the Beggar Gang has no choice but to stay. The Beggar Gang has always been the mortal enemy of the Mongols, and its current decline is all related to the Mongols. Yelu Yuanru also admired Xie Xun's martial arts. He was injured by Mananda just now, and Xie Xun was the first to rush up and heal himself. From every aspect, I have a reason to stay, and there is no reason to be greedy for life or fear of death.
The strongest ones all chose to stay, and Xie Xun was actually quietly relieved that the possibility of these two sects plotting against him was very small. The more shameful a person is, the more scruples he will have. Moreover, their strong strength also increases their chances of winning. It doesn't matter whether others stay or not.
There are also many people with lofty ideals, full of enthusiasm, who are willing to fight against the imperial court with Mingjiao here.
Xie Xun said: "Thank you for your high righteousness. Mingjiao will bear it in our hearts."
Xie Xun said to everyone again: "You are not familiar with this kind of battlefield fighting. It is too confusing. Please listen to the orders of my Ming Cult for the time being. These brothers of mine are all proficient in battle formations and can command teams of more than a thousand people. We With unified command, we can kill the enemy more effectively and reduce our own damage."
These elite soldiers of the Ming Cult were all trained for the army. They learned the skills on the battlefield. They were not trained to be brave and ruthless in the arena. Everyone was a qualified officer.
Everyone was aware of the Ming Cult's combat prowess. The martial arts of these members were nothing in their eyes, but their team fighting skills were far superior to theirs, so they agreed.
Xie Xun said: "Then let's take the first step."
Xie Xun held the dragon-slaying knife and took the lead. Under the unified command of the Mingjiao elite, this group of martial arts masters showed unparalleled lethality. The individual soldiers have strong combat capabilities and can cooperate with each other. They look at each other from head to tail, which makes all the masters in the court look even more scattered.
Xie Xun was able to contain several masters by himself, and while he was moving around, he was still harvesting Yuan Bing's lives at will.
It was also the first time for Xie Xun to kill so many people. At first, he was frightened. He never thought that human life was really like a piece of grass. Each living life disappeared into thin air with the wave of his hand. Later, even he himself They were all numb and could only swing the knife mechanically.
This fight was really bloody and bloody.
Mongolian elites suffered tens of thousands of losses here, and there were not many martial arts masters left. Only a few of the most skilled martial artists escaped.
The Central Plains martial arts community also suffered a lot of losses. Although they were commanded by professional officers, these martial arts masters were not disciplined troops after all. When they got excited about killing, they forgot to obey orders. There were many casualties, and almost everyone alive was injured.
The Huashan Sect suffered the greatest losses. Other sects only brought some disciples here. As the host, the Huashan Sect was wiped out by Yuan soldiers from top to bottom. Most of the ordinary disciples were killed or injured. This time, their vitality was really seriously damaged.
The losses in Emei and Kongtong were not small, and most of the elite disciples they brought out were lost.
As for gangs like the Beggar Clan and Wushan Clan, countless members were killed or injured.
Only five heroes came to Wudang, and they were all slightly injured, nothing serious.
Shaolin also worked hard for the Dragon Slaying Sword this time. A large number of masters came out, and they were indeed very skilled. Only a few died, which had little impact on Shaolin.
Although the Mingjiao side was the key target of the imperial court's attack, Xie Xun alone attracted most of the firepower. Except for Lu Zhixi and Lu Zhiqing, who were taken care of by Xie Xun, everyone else suffered injuries to varying degrees. The elite congregation lost more than forty people, which made Xie Xun heartbroken. This was a disciple he carefully cultivated who could be assigned an officer position in a group army. For the Mingjiao, the loss was not small.
The enemy retreated, leaving behind a field of chicken feathers.
The imperial court should regret arranging this operation. There were not many Mongolians in the first place, and even fewer elites were lost here. It will be even more difficult to suppress the rebellion in the future.
The martial arts community in the Central Plains should also regret it, blaming themselves for coveting the dragon-slaying knife and ultimately losing their wives and soldiers.
Mingjiao was considered the final winner. Xie Xun's strength scared everyone, and many people fought with passion in this fight. After the enemy retreated, they rallied around Mingjiao and were willing to follow Mingjiao in the anti-Yuan cause.
Xie Xun proposed that this Huashan sword debate not only clarify the ownership of the Dragon Sword, but also unite the martial arts forces to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.
After the war, they really gathered a lot of people, but it is impossible for sects like Shaolin, Beggar Clan, and Emei to obey the Ming Cult. Even if Xie Xun's martial arts is the best in the world, even if he really becomes the leader of the martial arts alliance.
However, Xie Xun was already very satisfied. He had never thought that such a sect could follow him in rebellion. His targets at the beginning were those who had little power and lived alone.
All the major sects left the mountain one after another, and the Mingjiao remained at the end.
Xie Xun continued to Hao De: "Master Hao, Huashan has indeed suffered a great loss this time. It was I who proposed the sword debate in Huashan, and it was I who provoked the imperial court. I am very strict about the reconstruction of the Huashan sect. You want Guangda Huashan, if you need money or people, our Mingjiao will do our best to help. Our Mingjiao will soon officially raise the banner of anti-Yuan. If anyone from your Huashan sect wants to join the army, our Mingjiao will also welcome it. To be honest, Kongtong Some people have been sent to serve in our army a few years ago, and after today, more martyrs will defect to our Mingjiao. Meng's vitality is approaching, and this battle is proof that it is time to restore the Han family."
Hao Deji pondered, Xie Xun's words were quite pleasing to the ear, and he also wanted to get closer to the Huashan Sect. Looking at the momentum of the Ming Cult, they might really be able to take over the world, so it's not impossible to invest in them now. It might be a great opportunity for the rise of the Huashan Sect. Since he shoulders the heavy responsibility of inheriting the Taoism, he naturally cannot join his army, but his outstanding disciples can. Didn't he also say that someone from the Kongtong Sect has already joined their camp?
Hao De continued: "We will discuss it later. I would like to thank the Ming Cult for lending a helping hand. The Huashan Sect would like to express my gratitude here."
Xie Xun said: "Headmaster Hao is too polite."
The Mingjiao people took a short rest and then went down to Mount Huashan.
Generally speaking, the results of this Huashan sword debate were satisfactory. They crippled the Mongolian elite and dragged the Central Plains martial arts into the battlefield. Xie Xun also shocked the heroes and laid a good foundation for his future entry into the Central Plains.
Peng Yingyu returned to the White Lotus Sect, Xie Hu went back to integrate the Haisha Sect and the Giant Whale Gang, and Yin Tianzheng also went back to deploy his Sky Eagle Flag, and finally gathered at the tip of the ship.
Yang Xiao led the Four Sects of Heaven, Earth, Wind and Thunder, and his own elites quickly came to the Central Plains.
Ruijin Banner commander Zhuang Zhong became the governor of the Western Regions and led the Five Elements Banner to take charge of Xie Xun's rear area.
This year, Xie Xun was thirty-six years old. He had a thick light yellow short mustache on his lips, which looked like an official script character "一" written in thick ink. With his broad body and tall figure, he looked even more majesty.
Lu Daoyuan felt that he was old and weak, and his health was deteriorating. He followed his daughter and son-in-law back to the south of the Yangtze River. Wanting to return to his roots, he called Xie Xun to him.
