Nuan Yin's question was very knowledgeable. He wanted to know which sect these people were from. Were there several sects working together, or was there only one sect that wanted to deal with them?
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. A single sect wouldn't dare to touch us. I think it might be three sects working together this time. Although it's impossible for the three sects to unite like before, it's still possible for them to cooperate. After all, we're the only ones who haven't suffered any losses since we entered Zhongshi Mountain. They must be angry and want to deal with us before they leave."
Nuan Yin nodded and said, "It's possible. It seems like they'll be coming soon. They already know that we won't be running away. Therefore, they can slowly think of ways to attack us from the outside."
Zhao Hai said, "We don't need to worry about them. No matter how they attack, we'll make our own preparations. As long as they attack, we'll beat them back."
Nuan Yin nodded, then Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Divide our people into two groups. I'm afraid that the other party will attack us in batches. If that happens, then we wouldn't be able to hold on for long. Divide into groups, one group will defend while the other group will rest. The other group won't have too many people left, at most a hundred. We have all kinds of formations and traps outside as well as talismans in our hands. We can force them to retreat from a distance, but don't let them engage in close combat for the time being. Also, the stones that I told everyone to pick up are all of us from the Iron Buddha Temple. Although some of us haven't learned how to use concealed weapons, with our strength, we can still throw the stones. Therefore, when necessary, we can throw the stones first. If those fellows really reach us, then it wouldn't be too late to fight them. As long as we can hold on for a few days, then we would win."
If we can't hold on, then we'll immediately retreat from the passage and enter the forest. It won't be too late to deal with them. "Everyone nodded. Zhao Hai said," As for the passage we left behind, we must guard it well. If someone is injured, then they can immediately enter the passage. If we can't hold on, then we can immediately retreat from the passage and enter the forest. It won't be too late to deal with them. "
Nuan Yin and the others nodded. They knew what Zhao Hai was talking about. In the innermost room, there was a passage that they had dug out in the past few days. The passage wasn't very long, it was L-shaped. First, it went straight down, then it went to the side, leading to a forest at the foot of the mountain. If they couldn't defend this place, then they could retreat from there.
Zhao Hai wasn't the kind of person who would just sit and wait. Because of this, he began to prepare an escape passage when the base was being built. This passage was meant to be used as a last resort.
Seeing Nuan Yin and the others nod, Zhao Hai opened his mouth and said, "Alright, then we'll have to be careful. Everyone, divide into two groups. Let's move." Nuan Yin and the others nodded. Then they immediately divided everyone into two groups. One group was to rest in the room while the other group was to stand guard outside.
The other party didn't make them wait for too long. After three hours, the people on guard outside had already discovered that a lot of cultivators had arrived in the forest below. There were people from the Nightwalker Sect wearing black clothes, people from the Sword Dance Sect wearing colorful clothes, and people from the Dao Sect wearing Daoist robes. They all came. However, there didn't seem to be too many of them. The three sects combined didn't even have a hundred and fifty people.
At this time, the people standing guard outside were Nuan Yin, Nuan Ren, and Nuan Zhang. Zhao Hai and Nuan Zhen were resting inside. When they saw the other party, Nuan Yin immediately stood up and stood by the wall, quietly looking towards the direction of the forest.
Nua Ren and Nua Zhang also stood up along with the other monks of the Iron Buddha Temple. Everyone's expression was very heavy. They knew that this was the most important battle. If they could hold on without losing anyone, then they would have a complete victory. This was because they were the only ones who didn't lose anyone out of the four sects that entered Zhongshi Mountain.
Four Sects entered Zhongshi Mountain together and only the Iron Buddha Temple didn't die. This was a great honor. When the time comes, not only would the Temple reward them, Nuan Gu and Nuan Yun would also reward them.
At this time, the people from the three Sects were about a li away from the base. However, they still haven't entered the formation trap set up by Nuan Yin and the others.
Nuan Yin looked at the people from the three Sects and couldn't help but mutter a Buddhist chant. Then he looked at the people from the Solitary Tranquility Dao Sect and the Sword Dance Sect and said, "Fellow Daoists from the Solitary Tranquility Dao Sect and the Sword Dance Sect, I didn't expect you to join forces with the Nightwalker Sect. This really makes this Poor Monk very disappointed."
A cultivator from the Sword Dance Sect looked at Nuan Yin and said, "Monk, stop pretending. Your Iron Buddha Temple is really shameless. You actually entered Zhongshi Mountain and said that you've always been together. Tell me, is this a competition?"
Nuan Yin looked at the people from the Sword Dance Sect and said in a deep voice, "This Poor Monk doesn't understand what this Fellow Daoist is saying. Is there a rule that states that we can't gather together in this competition? In this competition, the final goal is to see which sect has the most survivors, not to see which sect has the most kills. Our Iron Buddha Temple doesn't want to kill too many people. Therefore, after we entered Zhongshi Mountain, we gathered together to prevent others from killing us. We didn't take the initiative to attack anyone. When you attacked us, we counterattacked. After that, in order to avoid fighting with you, we hid here and didn't go out. How can you blame us for this matter? "
The person from the Sword Dance Sect looked at Nuan Zhen and said, "Cut the crap. I didn't expect your Iron Buddha Temple to be so shameless. Today, our three Sects will teach you an unforgettable lesson. Go, attack with talisman papers first. Be careful of their formation traps."
The people from the Sword Dance Sect responded. Then, they took out their talisman papers and threw them forward. For a moment, talisman papers fluttered outside the base. Many of the ordinary formation traps that Zhao Hai and the others had set up were activated.
Of course, the people from the Serenity Dao Sect and the Nightwalker Sect weren't idle either. They also attacked with talisman papers, preparing to deal with the people from the Iron Buddha Temple together.
There was a disadvantage to using talisman papers. This was especially true for ordinary talisman papers. Their attack range was very short, about ten meters. The furthest they could reach was twenty meters. Therefore, if they wanted to advance to the base, they would have to keep moving forward and using talisman papers to clear the path ahead.
Not long after throwing the talismans, they began to slowly walk forward. But just as they walked a few steps, they encountered Zhao's high-level magic traps. The people from the three sects were attacked by magic traps. Zhao's magic traps were mostly powerful, such as explosive traps, earth spike traps, icicle traps, and so on. They were all traps that were relatively fast to activate. Like quicksand traps, vine traps, and so on, Zhao didn't use them. The other party wasn't alone. Even if they were caught in such a trap, they would immediately be rescued by others, so there wouldn't be any lethality. Therefore, such a trap was useless.
Zhao Hai's arrangement of these traps was correct. These traps were quite powerful, and in unexpected situations, they caused a lot of casualties among the people from the three Sects. More than ten people were injured, and some of them were even killed.
When these casualties appeared, the people from the three Sects couldn't help but become restless. At this point, the casualties of the three Sects weren't small. If there were more casualties, then they wouldn't have a good ending. Because of this, they couldn't help but hesitate to move forward.
The people from the three Sects didn't really want to form an alliance, they were just a temporary alliance. Everyone had their own thoughts. In this case, they naturally couldn't work together to deal with the Iron Buddha Temple. In the beginning, they were angry and wanted to teach the Iron Buddha Temple a lesson. But with so many casualties, they didn't know what to do.
At this time, a person from the Serenity Dao Sect said, "Jump to the place where the traps exploded. There won't be any more traps there."
When the others heard this, they were stunned. Then they nodded and felt that it was reasonable. They immediately jumped to the place where the traps exploded.
Their method was really useful. The places where the traps exploded were all ordinary traps that Zhao had placed to confuse them. Under those ordinary traps, it was impossible for there to be more traps. Because of this, they were able to avoid being attacked by traps.
However, by doing so, their speed was greatly affected. Especially when they were about a hundred meters away from the base, there were no more ordinary traps. The people of the three sects looked at the nearby base with hatred in their hearts.
But now, no one dared to move forward. If they were to move forward, then it would be tantamount to walking into a trap. They didn't know when they would be attacked by another trap. That wasn't a joke.
A black-robed Cultivator from the Nightwalker Sect saw this and couldn't help but coldly snort. Then he took out his Ten Thousand Ghost Banner and waved it. Malicious Ghosts immediately flew out of the banner. However, these ghosts didn't attack Nuan Yin's group. Instead, they began to dig the path in front of them, causing the traps to explode. This way, the people from the Malicious Ghost Sect could directly attack.
The people from the Serenity Dao Sect also took out several beast talismans and followed the Nightwalker Sect's method. The Sword Dance Sect was the same. Although they were Sword Cultivators, this didn't mean that they couldn't use talismans.
When Nuan Yin saw this, he softly chanted a Buddhist chant and said, "Amitabha." Then he waved his hand and a small golden bell appeared in his hand. This bell was the Vajra Bell. This bell belonged to Zhao Hai and was lent to him.
After Nuan Yin rang the bell, several disciples immediately focused on chanting. At the same time, they slowly prepared talismans and stones. Then they quietly watched as the disciples of the three Sects got closer and closer.
Before long, the disciples of the three sects were about ten meters away from the base. Nuan Yin and the others immediately used various talismans to attack them. Naturally, the people of the three sects weren't idle, they immediately used talismans to counterattack. However, before the talismans could reach the base, they were blocked by a layer of transparent light. Ripples appeared on the light barrier, but it didn't affect the barrier at all.
Seeing this, the expressions of the people from the three Sects couldn't help but change. They didn't think that the disciples of the Iron Buddha Temple would have a defensive formation. How were they supposed to attack?
Although they knew that the defensive formation couldn't be too advanced, after all, they were all outer disciples. However, having a defensive formation was still better than not having one. If they wanted to attack the people of the Iron Buddha Temple, then they would have to break the formation first. Otherwise, they would only be able to get beaten up.
The people of the Nightwalker Sect originally wanted the malicious spirits in the Myriad Ghost Banner to attack the defensive shield, but Nuan Yin had already thought of this. The Vajra Bell wasn't for nothing, and the scriptures of the monks weren't for nothing. As soon as the malicious spirits of the Nightwalker Sect touched the shield, they immediately screamed in pain like a piece of butter meeting a hot iron. The black smoke on their bodies directly flew up. If they didn't retreat, they would be turned into ashes.
Seeing this, the people from the three sects couldn't help but curse the Iron Buddha Temple for being shameless. They said that they wanted to fight, but they actually brought along a defensive formation. Were they trying to cause trouble? How could they play around like this?
Just as the people from the Three Sects were angrily cursing, several stones flew out from the Iron Buddha Temple. Both sides were very close to each other, and the stones that the Iron Buddha Temple threw out were very powerful. It was impossible for them to dodge. Several people were directly hit by the stones. Moreover, the stones that the Iron Buddha Temple threw out were very powerful. Those who were hit by the stones were all seriously injured. The places that were hit by the stones would definitely have their bones and tendons broken.
Seeing the Iron Buddha Temple's attack, the people from the three Sects became even more angry. They didn't think that the people from the Iron Buddha Temple would be so despicable as to use stones to attack. These stones were like hidden weapons. At such a close distance, these stones were even more lethal than hidden weapons. One must know that the people from the Iron Buddha Temple were all Body Cultivators. Their strength wasn't something to joke about.
Although the people from the three Sects were cursing, they had no way to attack the base. They could only retreat. When they retreated about a hundred meters, the attacks from the Iron Buddha Temple stopped. The two sides were once again in a stalemate.
The Solitary Dao Sect's leader angrily looked at Nuan Yin. The leader of the Solitary Dao Sect wasn't the female disciple of Hua Qing Feng, Ming Xin. In fact, Ming Xin only came out to take a look. She didn't want to participate in this battle. Moreover, she was Hua Qing Feng's disciple, not an outer court disciple. She couldn't participate in this battle. Hua Qing Feng only brought her out to see the situation. At this time, the leader of the Solitary Dao Sect was a male Cultivator from the Solitary Dao Sect. This male Cultivator looked to be around 28 or 29 years old. He was very handsome, but at this time, his handsome face was ashen. His eyes seemed to be spitting fire as he looked at Nuan Yin and loudly said, "Monks from the Iron Buddha Temple, you're shameless. You actually used a defensive formation during a battle.
