The Counterattack of the Villains

Seeing Zhan Lan and his entourage looking at her with strange eyes that had no clear meaning, Zhiqiu Yiye smiled sarcastically and said with an embarrassed look on her face: "Sorry to bother you."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly a clear female voice sounded from behind: "Mah, la, la, la, wind, fire, thunder and lightning."

Zhiqiu Yiye suddenly turned around, scanned everyone with wide eyes, and finally cast his gaze on Zhan Lan's face, asking: "Did the girl recite the spell just now?"

Zhan Lan tilted his head slightly, looked at Zhiqiu Yiye and said with a smile: "It's me. It seems that you have really obtained the Kunlun inheritance."

She was already extremely beautiful, but this tilt of her head was like hitting Zhiqiu Yiye's heart, making his heart beat wildly.

However, after realizing the meaning of Zhan Lan's words, he was greatly surprised. He clasped his fists again and said, "It seems that the girl is very familiar with Kunlun magic and has not asked for advice."

Zhan Lan lowered his voice, cupped his fists and returned the salute: "Zhan Lan, a disciple of the sixth generation of Emei, please give me your advice."

When Zhiqiu Yiye heard this, he immediately exclaimed: "You are..."

"Shhh"

Zhan Lan raised a finger and made a silence gesture. Zhiqiu Yiye quickly stopped talking, and then whispered: "Are you Emei disciples? Why don't you identify yourself?"

At this time, all the monks in the audience were waiting for the Emei sect to show up. Unexpectedly, the Emei disciples had already entered the hall calmly.

Zhan Lan said: "Our head brother and the great elder are still discussing matters with His Highness King Xin and Master Fu, so they asked us to come over first to take a look at the situation."

Zhiqiu Yiye was suddenly enlightened and asked doubtfully: "Since you are disciples of Emei, how come you are so familiar with Kunlun magic?"

Zhan Lan smiled and said: "Xuan Tianzong, the founder of your Kunlun sect, is the second generation head of my Emei sect. Speaking of which, the Kunlun sect and the Emei sect are the same family."

Zhiqiu Yiye said in surprise: "Is there such a thing? But how can I, the Kunlun Patriarch, become the head of the Emei Sect?"

Zhan Lan explained: "Thousands of years ago, the old monster Youquan, a giant in the demonic way, trained the Withered Bone Tianluo Formation, and his combat power greatly increased for a while, making him unbeatable."

"It first destroyed Qingcheng, then Huashan, and then attacked Kunlun. Your Kunlun sect has always been a single lineage, with only two people in the sect, the master and the apprentice."

"Master Gu Yue, the master of the Xuantian Sect, was killed by the old monster Youquan. Only the Xuantian Sect was left alone. He went to Emei and joined forces with the Emei Sect to fight against the old monster Youquan..."

Zhan Lan roughly told the story of "The Legend of Shushan" and let Zhiqiu Yiye know the origin of the Kunlun Sect and the Emei Sect.

After listening to Zhan Lan's story, Zhiqiu Yiye said happily: "In this way, the Kunlun sect and the Emei sect are really the same family."

Zhan Lan sighed: "It's a pity that after a thousand years, Emei's Thunder Sword, Kunlun's Sun and Moon Golden Wheel and Nanming's Lihuo Sword were all lost."

"Otherwise, with just a few demons like Pudu Cihang, Black Mountain Old Demon, and Yin-Yang Dharma King, why would I, the Righteous Way, need to mobilize troops like this?"

Zhiqiu Yiye also felt deeply regretful after hearing Zhan Lan's words.

Judging from the story she told, the two swords of heaven and thunder were combined to destroy the Youquan Blood Demon whose cultivation was at the peak of Mahayana and who had also practiced the Blood River Formation. Its actual combat power was comparable to that of an immortal.

The Nanming Lihuo Sword is a fairy sword that Patriarch Baimei found from the fairy world. Needless to say, its power is so powerful.

Not to mention the Twin Swords of Heavenly Thunder and the Nanming Lihuo Sword, even if Kunlun's Sun and Moon Golden Wheel is still there, it is enough to easily obliterate those three demons.

Zhiqiu Yiye suddenly remembered something and asked tentatively: "Senior Sister Zhan, since my Kunlun Patriarch once served as the head of Emei, I wonder if the Emei Sect still retains the Kunlun Kung Fu?"

Zhan Lan shook his head and said: "When Patriarch Baimei asked Xuantian Sect to be the head of Emei, he mainly wanted to have someone who could lead the group and prevent the righteous path from becoming a mess."

"After the Youquan Blood Demon was eliminated, the Xuantian Sect resigned as head and went back to rebuild Kunlun. Lian Xing succeeded him as the third head of the clan, but he did not leave behind the Kunlun Kung Fu."

Zhiqiu Yiye secretly said: "That's it, that's such a pity."

Zhan Lan rolled his eyes and continued: "But if you are interested, junior brother, you might as well come to our Emei sect to practice."

"My Emei Kung Fu is no worse than Kunlun Kung Fu. Coupled with the connection between our families, I believe that the head brother will not refuse."

Hearing what she said, a smile flashed in the eyes of Li Xiaoyi and others, knowing that Zhan Lan was eyeing Zhiqiu Yiye's Kunlun spell.

Although Zhiqiu Yiye is only a dabbler, the Kunlun Sect spells he masters are also very impressive.

What they are most jealous of is Zhiqiu Yiye's earth-escape technique, body-holding technique, and mountain-moving technique.

These three spells are very practical. If you can learn them, the overall strength of the Zhongzhou team will be strengthened.

Hearing what Zhan Lan said, Zhiqiu Yiye was overjoyed and asked repeatedly: "Really? Can I really do it?"

Zhan Lan smiled and nodded: "It should be no problem. I will introduce you to the senior brother and the elder when they arrive in a while."

Zhiqiu Yiye clasped his fists in excitement and said, "Thank you, senior sister."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the field whose cultivation level was above the golden elixir stage suddenly looked towards the northwest sky.

Because they all just sensed that a strong wave of spiritual power suddenly erupted over there.

In less than a breath, everyone saw a stream of light flying from the northwest, like a meteor coming to the world.

Everyone focused their eyes and immediately saw clearly what was happening inside the streamer. It was a group of sword cultivators coming with swords, and they knew that the real master had shown up.

Now everyone returns to their respective sect masters and stands in a square formation with the sect as a unit.

The casual cultivators consciously stood behind or on both sides of each sect's square formation, and the place quickly became quiet.

In an instant, the stream of light fell in the field. After the light flashed several times, it converged and the person inside was revealed.

The leaders are naturally Li Mu and Yan Chixia, and behind them are all the members of the Zhongzhou team except for newcomers such as Gao Hongliang, Xiao Honglu, Zhang Heng, and Qin Zhuyu.

Naturally, Shi'er and General Xiahou were also among them, both of whom were also wearing white clothes at this time.

Among the people, those who can control the sword naturally can control the sword by themselves. For those who cannot control the sword, Li Mu, Zheng Zha, and Yan Chixia will control their swords respectively and fly with them.

Whether they are strong enough or not is another matter, but their temperament must be shown. At least they showed off their performance this time.

Zhan Lan greeted Zhiqiu Yiye, led Li Xiaoyi and others, bypassed the phalanx of each sect, and took the initiative to get close to Li Mu and Yan Chixia.

After the ceremony, he pulled Zhiqiu Yiye and stood behind the two of them. This was obviously not a good time to introduce him.

Seeing that Zhan Lan and his entourage were dressed the same as Li Mu and others, everyone was shocked to realize that the Emei disciples had already arrived and were mingling among the school grounds.

Fortunately, no one in the crowd said anything disrespectful towards the Emei sect.

Even if there are a few words of doubt occasionally, it is within the normal range, and the Emei sect will not cause trouble for them.

Having said that, if the Emei Sect is really so small-minded, then it is not worthy of people's respect.

Li Mu and Yan Chixia led the disciples forward and stood three feet away in front of each sect's square formation.

He cupped his hands and turned around, and said loudly: "Comrades, I am Li Mu, the sixth generation leader of the Emei Sect. This is polite."

The people in the Taoist sect held their swords in front of their chests and said in unison: "Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Lord."

The Buddhist monks chanted together: "Namo Amitabha."

The casual cultivators cupped their fists and said, "I've seen Master Li."

"Hehehe..." Yan Chixia let out a burst of signature laughter and said loudly: "Old Taoist Yan Chixia, I believe that many of you here know me, and some of you are my old friends for many years."

"Those who are familiar with Lao Tao know that Lao Tao once obtained the Emei inheritance by chance and has always regarded himself as a reincarnated disciple of Emei."

"Now the Emei sect has returned from overseas. Thanks to the head disciple who never abandons me, he has accepted me into his sect, taught me the techniques of the Emei Town sect, and appointed me as the great elder."

"So now the old Taoist can legitimately call himself a disciple of Emei."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elders of the major sects burst out with good-natured laughter, and some even congratulated him.

Master Liu Ren, the current leader of the Shenxiao Sect of the Maoshan Sect, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Yan Chixia, I haven't seen you for more than twenty years. You are getting younger and younger with each passing year. You don't look like an old Taoist, your beard has turned white."

Yan Chixia laughed and said: "Old Taoist Liu Ren, you are an old monster over a hundred years old, how can you compare with me? Who told you not to break through the realm earlier?"

Master Liu Ren laughed and shook his head. He stretched out his fingers and nodded at Yan Chixia. He laughed and cursed: "You old boy still remembers that I am several dozen years older than you. You don't know how to respect your seniors at all."

Yan Chixia spat: "Fuck you, I'm on a par with your senior brother Taiyi, how dare you pretend to be your senior in front of me?"

Hearing Yan Chixia mention her senior brother, the smile on Master Liuren's face dropped slightly, and he asked with a serious look: "Have you heard any news about my senior brother in these years?"

Yan Chixia sighed and shook her head, saying: "There is no news, and I don't know where I am in retreat, or if I have already..."

"Well, if we have his help in this battle between good and evil, we will really be sure of success."

Master Liu Ren also sighed repeatedly. The three brothers and sisters grew up together, and their master named them after Huang Lao's "Three Styles".

The eldest brother, Master Dunjia, died more than fifty years ago. The second brother, Master Taiyi, left his master more than 20 years ago and went into hiding in the mountains. There has been no news from him again.

Now, he is the only one left in their generation.

They and Yan Chixia were already close friends when the senior brother was still in the school. Seeing each other again after more than 20 years was quite emotional.

After communicating with Master Liuren, Yan Chixia said hello to Zen Master Deqing, the abbot of Xiantong Temple in Mount Wutai.

He was also an old friend of Zen Master Deqing for many years, and he was asked to teach him the "Breaking Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra" at that time, which enabled him to practice both Buddhism and Taoism, and his cultivation level greatly improved.

Even though he has no core skills and is unable to condense the golden elixir and Yuanying, he still has combat power comparable to that of a transformed god. Zen Master Deqing deserves the greatest credit.

Moreover, he also learned how to make Demon-Conquering Nails and Demon-Conquering Arrows from Zen Master Deqing, which can be said to have benefited a lot.

Master Taiyi and Zen Master Deqing are the two people that Yan Chixia is most grateful for in her life, and they are also the best friends in his heart.

Except for the two of them, Yan Chixia had quite a lot of old friends among the people present. Not only from famous sects, but also from casual cultivators, there were also many old friends of his, but their relationships ranged from distant to distant.

But today, regardless of the distance between them, as long as they were acquaintances, he made a point of greeting them all.

Even those who didn't know him but took the initiative to talk to him, he responded cheerfully, without any cold demeanor at all.

Li Mu did not bother anyone else and waited quietly with a smile on his face the whole time.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Yan Chixia said loudly: "After today's business is over, I will invite all of you old friends to have a cup of vegetarian wine. Now it is better to invite my junior brother to talk about the business first!"

As he spoke these words, the harmonious and lively scene gradually calmed down.

Li Mu took two more steps forward and said loudly: "I know that some of you are here today to join the Demon Slayer Division and eliminate demons for the country."

"Some simply want to do their part in subduing demons, while others may have doubts about our Emei sect and have come here to seek confirmation."

"But no matter what your purpose is, whether you are willing to come here in this current situation, you have the same heart to eliminate demons, defend the law, and support justice."

"I am here to thank you all on behalf of all the people in the world."

After he finished speaking, he clasped his fists and bowed deeply. As soon as he said these words, everyone present felt very comfortable.

The people in the Taoist sect chanted "Heavenly Lord of Infinite Blessings" again, and the Buddhist monks kept saying "Good, good, good!"

Although there are some people among the casual cultivators who join the Demon Slayer Division just to gain a future, they have nothing to do with supporting justice.

But no one in this world doesn't like to put themselves on the high ground of justice.

When Li Mu spread the news, he had already explained the reason for the Emei Sect's reappearance, so there were not many people who doubted their origins.

Those who want to come for verification just want to see if this group of people who claim to be Emei disciples really have the Emei inheritance.

Seeing the scene where they came with swords and Yan Chixia's golden sign, everyone's doubts had disappeared.

The main sects of Zhengdao are talisman magic. There are not many people who practice flying sword skills. Even if they are, they only have some superficial skills. There is no comparison with the real Shushan Sword Immortal.

It can be said that Li Mu and others' appearance this time has completely achieved what they wanted.

Things became simple after that. Li Mu invited people from various famous sects to the main hall to discuss matters, and those who wanted to join the Demon Slayer Division arranged for people to register.

These people who came here gave Li Mu some surprises. There were eight Nascent Soul stage major cultivators alone and more than twenty Jindan cultivators.

Li Mu's biggest surprise came from Zen Master Deqing.

The realm of Buddhist cultivation is divided into: building the foundation, removing dust, relics, Buddha's mind, perfect enlightenment, transcending kalpas, contemplating, all are empty, and the right fruit.

Zen Master Deqing's own level of cultivation is not very high. He is only in the early stage of Buddha's mind, which is equivalent to the early stage of Yuanying in Taoism.

But he brought a powerful magic weapon, which was the golden Buddha that Zen Master Baiyun and his apprentice, the young monk Shifang, were responsible for escorting in the third part of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

If this golden Buddha is used well, it can kill the Black Mountain Old Demon and his underworld army.

In "The Legend of Shushan", the Master Zunsheng of Wutai Mountain who single-handedly blocked the Blood River Formation for a moment was the ancestor of Zen Masters Deqing and Baiyun.

Of course, Zen Master Baiyun does not exist today, but according to his seniority, he should be of the same generation as Zen Master Deqing’s disciples and grandsons.

Since the Wutai Mountain lineage is enough to defeat an old Black Mountain demon, their chances of victory are even greater.
