The Counterattack of the Villains

Fifteen or sixty feet, more than fifty meters in height, Li Mu reached the top in less than ten breaths.

After everyone waited for a moment, the three ropes were thrown down a few feet apart.

Zuo Lengchan became energetic and ordered: "Everyone go up the cliff immediately and move quickly."

After speaking, the first one grabbed a rope and pulled hard. When he saw that it was very strong, he no longer hesitated, grabbed the rope and quickly climbed up.

There is a tacit understanding between the members of each sect. In this case, the most powerful martial artist must be the first to come forward. In this way, if there is any emergency, they can withstand one or two and ensure the safety of subsequent disciples.

Therefore, the heads of each sect took the lead and climbed up the cliff first, followed by the heads' brothers and sisters, and the junior disciples came last.

The disciples of each sect participating in the crusade against the Demon Sect this time are all elite disciples with relatively strong martial arts skills.

With the rope as a support and the assistance of Qinggong, it is not difficult to climb the cliff.

It took more than an hour for more than 900 people to climb up the cliff.

The scene above the black wood cliff was completely different from the bare scene below. The trees were deep and the vegetation was dense, which made it easier for them to hide their traces.

It's just that the terrain on the cliff is steep, and dangerous cliffs can be seen everywhere. In terms of danger alone, it is not at all inferior to Mount Huashan.

At that moment, everyone in the Five Mountains remained silent and sneaked towards the stone path.

After walking for about two miles, everyone came to the edge of the forest. Zuo Lengchan ordered everyone to hide in the forest and sent a master of light skills and proficiency in hiding as spies to investigate the situation.

About half an hour later, the spies sent returned, and the heads of the Five Sacred Mountains and their fellow disciples gathered around to listen to his information.

"Masters, this black wood cliff is hundreds of feet high. Where we are at the moment is just the lowest level."

"The end of the stone path over there is under a dangerous cliff a hundred feet high. There is no way up the cliff at all. The demons of the demon sect rely on big bamboo baskets hung by nooses and winches to go up and down the cliff."

When people from all factions heard what the spies said, they took a deep breath.

I originally thought that the stone path was a natural hazard. After all, even the walls of the big city were only two or three feet high, but this cliff was as high as fifteen or six feet high.

Unless the imperial court is willing to use thousands of troops and horses to pile up and use a lot of human lives to fill the stone road, it will be impossible to attack the cliff.

But this is actually only the lowest level. If you want to go up to the main altar of the Demon Sect, there is a natural chasm with a height of hundreds of feet.

In this way, even if the imperial court was willing to use thousands of troops to attack, it would be impossible to attack the Blackwood Cliff Main Altar.

Even if there is a million-strong army, how can we attack if there is no way up the cliff?

Such an extremely favorable geographical location cannot be broken by human power!

Zuo Lengchan frowned and asked, "How is the guard situation on the stone road?"

The spy said: "There are three iron gate checkpoints on the stone path from the foot of the mountain to the cliff. Each checkpoint is guarded by a large number of demon sect thieves."

"This mountain range is very wide. There are many houses in the mountain. It is roughly estimated that there are no less than a thousand demon cultists entrenched here."

"Those three checkpoints are open to the outside but not to the inside. If we attack from behind, the Demonic Cult's defensive measures will not be effective."

"With the power of our five sects, we can easily destroy the demon cultists here and seize control of the stone path. The retreat from the cliff is not hindered."

People in each faction feel a little at ease. Since there is no problem with their retreat, the most they can do is return without success and not get stuck here.

You can climb the rock without anyone noticing when you go up, but if something unexpected happens, it won't be that easy when you go down.

When you are being hunted and surrounded, how can you have the time to slide down calmly? If you dare to go down the cliff along the rope, just a stone on top can kill you.

Jumping directly off the cliff is even more of a joke. At a height of more than ten feet, no matter how brilliant the light body technique is, it will be useless. If you don't die, you will be disabled.

Mo Da solemnly said: "The biggest problem now is that we can't go up the cliff at all. Even if Senior Brother Yue can still use the Gecko Wall Skill to go up, our rope is not long enough."

"Even if Senior Brother Yue can seize the winch, he can only transport a few people up at a time. How long will it take for us to transport more than 900 people?"

"If during this process, the demon sect dispatches a large number of people to besiege, how can Senior Brother Yue resist it no matter how high his martial arts skills are?"

After hearing Mo Da's words, people in each sect suddenly felt that it was quite difficult. There is indeed a reason why the demon sect can exist for so many years.

Taoist priest Tianmen sighed: "If it really doesn't work, let's kill all the more than a thousand Demon Cult monsters on this mountain and then go back home! At least we didn't return in vain."

Mo Da echoed: "If you lose more than a thousand people at once, the Demon Sect will also be greatly weakened. At least it will allow them to calm down for some time."

Master Dingxian said helplessly: "But in this case, as long as the demon sect remains entrenched in Heimu Cliff, won't it mean that it will never be eradicated?"

The leaders of each sect all fell silent with ugly expressions on their faces, and Zuo Lengchan was even more unwilling.

With his ambition, he was naturally unwilling to do anything but destroy more than a thousand demon cultists.

But the terrain of Heimuya is so unreasonable that even if everyone wants to eliminate the demon, they can't.

Li Mu suddenly coughed and said nonchalantly: "If it doesn't work, I will go up with all the Huashan disciples first, seize the winch and hold on to it, and then help everyone go up."

"But everyone, please think clearly. Once you go up there, you will have no choice but to fight the Demon Cult until death, and there will be no way out."

"..."

The place suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Li Mu in confusion. A breeze blew by, causing the leaves to sway gently.

After a while, Master Dingxian said quietly: "Senior Brother Yue means that everyone in the Huashan Sect knows the Gecko Wall Skill?"

Li Mu smiled awkwardly and said weakly: "I have never said that I am the only one who knows the gecko wall-walking skill?"

"..."

Seeing his senior brother's appearance, Ning Zhong suddenly wanted to laugh.

She suppressed her smile and said seriously: "Senior brothers teach disciples and never hide their personal interests. They treat all disciples equally and teach each other with everything they have."

"It's because of the senior brothers' association. Most people in the Huashan sect know it well. Now it's just a difference in skill level."

Hearing Ning Zhongze's words, all the Huashan disciples were filled with endless gratitude, while the other disciples were envious and the heads of each sect were somewhat resentful.

People in the martial arts community basically have the scruple of "teaching their apprentices and starving their masters to death". In order to maintain their majesty as masters, they always keep a few secrets at the bottom of the box and refuse to teach them easily.

This is a shortcoming of Chinese warriors that has lasted for thousands of years, and it is not easy to eliminate.

This is also the reason why so many martial arts skills have been lost.

It's not that there are no selfless masters at all, it's just that there are very few. Even if they teach with all their resources, they are only for individual disciples.

There is no one like Li Mu who teaches all his disciples everything he has.

Facing the incomprehensible looks from the leaders of each sect, Li Mu sighed: "Our Huashan sect has been losing its talents since the sword energy battle."

"Except for his junior sister, Yue has no other senior brothers to help and support him. If he continues to be self-reliant, won't the Huashan Sect be completely destroyed?"
