Begging for recommendations, begging for collections, begging for Sanjiang tickets …
Mission complete, time to rest my fingers.

Ya Ye's efforts were very successful. At least, there were no more flying pigeons along the way. Therefore, Sei Itō saved the thought of changing the marching plan and quickly advanced toward Kongdong Mountain with less than 4,000 people.
At this time, in Kongdong Mountain …
"Everyone, apart from the first disciple who sent news back, there is no news from the rest of the disciples who went out to scout. I think they are probably dead." The Kongdong Sect Leader sat on the main seat and looked at the sect leaders who were either drinking tea, closing their eyes, or laughing.
"It is time to decide whether or not we should divide our forces and go to Kunlun."
"…" The sect leaders were all silent and did not express any opinions.
"You, you!" Looking at this situation, the Kunlun Sect Leader could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He stood up and shouted to the sect leaders, "Since you are heartless, don't blame me for being heartless."
After saying that, he prepared to leave Kongdong Sect and bring the Kunlun disciples back to Konglun Mountain.
"Wait." Song Yuanqiao stood up and stopped the Kunlun Sect Leader.
"What?" The Kunlun Sect Leader looked at Song Yuanqiao angrily, waiting for Song Yuanqiao to say something.
"My Wudang Sect is willing to go with Sect Leader He," Song Yuanqiao said. This was the result of Song Yuanqiao's consideration. Now, only Wudang Sect, Kunlun Sect, and Kongdong Sect were left. Not to mention why the Yuan army went to Hubei and did not attack Wudang Sect, Wudang Sect could only contribute to defending Kongdong Sect and Kunlun Sect. Now that Kongdong Sect had enough people, it did not matter if Wudang Sect had more people. It was better to go with Kunlun Sect. Not only could they win Kunlun Sect's favor to deal with future dangers, they could also calm the hearts of the other sects.
"Thank you, Great Hero Song," Kunlun Sect Leader He Taichong said with a grateful face.
"In that case, my Shaolin Sect is also willing to send some people to go with Sect Leader He," Kong Wen, who had been keeping his eyes down, said.
"Thank you, Great Master Kong Wen." Although it was also a form of gratitude, it was clear that it was not as excited as Wu at that time. It could be seen that there was a difference in treatment between the first one who jumped out and the second one who jumped out.
"I don't have many people in Emei, and all of them are women. I can only stay in Empty Cave," Miejue said.
"Hmph." He Taichong snorted coldly and did not say anything. Who asked his martial arts to be inferior?
"Our Mount Hua Sect has also suffered heavy losses. We can only do our best to help you. My apologies," the eldest of the two elders of Mount Hua said.
"Not anymore." He Taichong looked at the people of Huashan with an ugly expression as he suppressed his anger and said.
"Brother He …" Sect Leader Kong Dong opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
"Hmph, goodbye!" He Taichong didn't expect Empty Cave to send someone, so he wasn't too resentful. He just coldly snorted, cupped his fists, and turned to leave. After that, the members of the WuTang Clan and some of the members of Shaolin Temple left the Kongdong Sect one after another and headed to Kunlun.
Right now, on the entire Kongdong Mountain, only Emei, Huashan, and some Shaolin members were left. Adding the Kongdong disciples on Kongdong Mountain, their numbers were not much different from the Yuan army under Sei Itō's control. However, it was clear that the Yuan army was much stronger when it came to the number of elites.
After marching for another day and a half, Sei Itō's army finally arrived at the foot of Kongdong Mountain. They quickly set up camp and set up camp. After resting for half a day, a muffled horn sounded, and they launched a strong attack on Kongdong Sect.
"Kill them!" The Mongolian army's shouts shook the sky. The crowd surged toward Kongdong Sect like flowing waves. In an instant, they collided with the disciples who rushed out of Empty Cave. They formed a situation where their fangs intersected, and they started killing each other.
This was the result of a discussion between the members of Kongdong Sect. Compared to an army, the people in the martial arts world were completely scattered soldiers. They might be able to crush soldiers alone, but when it came to fighting as a group, they were not as good as an army. Besides, most of the Mongolian soldiers were skilled in archery. If they only defended Kongdong Mountain, there was a high possibility that they would be suppressed by the Mongolian soldiers' arrows until they could not even raise their heads. In the end, they would end up with their gates broken and their people dead.
But if the people from Kongdong Mountain rushed out as well, they could use the agility of martial artists to charge into the group of Mongolian soldiers and bring out their individual strength. By doing so, they could bring out their advantage to the greatest degree, and they could also fend against the archers' ambushes in this crisscrossed environment.
In terms of how they reacted, Kongdong Mountain's choice was not wrong. At the very least, the current situation was one where the two sides fought against each other and fought against each other. On the surface, the martial artists still had the upper hand. However, they ignored Sei Itō, who was the general leading the army. He did not care about the lives of the Mongolian soldiers. To him, it would be a pity if they died, but even if all of them died, he would not care. After all, they were just tools to achieve certain goals, so there was no way he would cherish them. Besides, even if all of them died, he could just go back and ask the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty for another one. He did not feel any pressure at all.
"Men, get the archers ready. Allow them to scatter and shoot," Sei Itō ordered.
The military officer hesitated for a moment before he said, "Sir, our soldiers are still there."
"Just carry out my orders. Stop wasting your breath. Once we get rid of these martial artists, you will definitely get all the credit. Don't you want to be promoted and get rich?" Sei Itō said with a frown.
"Understood." The military officer thought about it for a while, and it seemed like it was just as Sei Itō said. At that time, he would be promoted, and he would be able to enjoy good wine and beautiful women. As for the soldiers who died, he would just have to compensate them more. After all, the imperial court would be the one paying for their deaths.
Soon after the military officer gave his order, the two thousand or so soldiers who had yet to enter the battlefield quickly switched to bows and arrows. They raised their bows halfway into the air and fired the arrows in their hands at a 45-degree angle.
A dense wave of arrows that looked like black clouds and sand quickly poured down from the sky. They pierced through both sides who were fighting on the ground. In an instant, the entire battlefield froze for a moment. Then, a large wave of arrows poured down and took away even more lives.
This scene stunned the people in Kongdong Sect and the soldiers on the battlefield. However, since the soldiers had supervisors behind them, they could not retreat. They could only charge forward with bloodshot eyes and kill their way out of the range of the arrow rain.
However, the martial artists did not have this kind of awareness. They knew that their lives were the most important, so before the third wave of arrows arrived, they had already done everything they could to kill or break free from their opponents, and they quickly pushed themselves up Kongtong Mountain. In an instant, they pushed the Mongolian army forward, and they reached the entrance of Kongdong Mountain.
"Bastard, what a ruthless Mongolian general," Miejue said through gritted teeth as he looked at the dead female disciples below. At the same time, he punched the bluestone in front of him, and a deep crack appeared on the surface of the bluestone.
"Amitabha." Kong Wen closed his eyes and chanted the name of Buddha while enduring the pain in his heart. These were the elites who would be used to revitalize Shaolin Temple in the future.
"Bastard." The sect leader of Kongdong Sect was the most direct. He cursed out loud.
"Oh my, what should we do? What should we do? So many people died. Who will be able to show off for us in the future?" The junior brother of the two elders of Mount Hua muttered to his senior brother. He was not sad or angry because of the death of his disciples.
"It's okay, it's okay. At worst, we can recruit more in the future. As long as the two of us are alive, Mount Hua Sect will still be Mount Hua Sect," the senior brother said in a low voice.
"Yes, yes, yes. Senior brother is right."
"What are the two of you muttering about?" Miejue looked at the two elders of Mount Hua in a bad mood and shouted coldly.
"Nothing, nothing. We are thinking about how to deal with the Mongolians," the two elders of Mount Hua said tacitly.
"Oh, then I want to hear your opinions," Miejue said mockingly.
"That, that, senior brother, you say it." The junior brother of the two elders of Mount Hua directly sold out his senior brother.
"Eh …" Looking at Miejue's cold gaze, the elder brother of the two elders of Mount Hua muttered to himself and said, "Why don't we go assassinate him? As long as we kill that general, I believe these Mongolian soldiers will not be able to do anything."
"That's right," the eyes of the sect leader of Kongdong Sect lit up and he agreed.
"Then who should we send?" Miejue asked directly, but his gaze was fixed on the two elders of Mount Hua. His meaning was self-evident.
"Buddha is merciful. How can we, a righteous sect, do this kind of shady business?" Kong Wen of Shaolin cleanly removed Shaolin from the matter with a single sentence. At the same time, his gaze fell on the two elders of Mount Hua.
"Looks like we can only trouble the two brothers of Mount Hua," Kong Dong also pushed his hand and said regretfully.
"Okay, then we will go assassinate him," the two elders of Mount Hua said sadly when they saw the three people looking at them with burning eyes.
"The two brothers of Mount Hua are indeed righteous. We admire you," the sect leader of Mount Hua said immediately.
"That's right," Miejue and Kong Wen said, "Amitabha, the two sect leaders are righteous."
The two elders of Mount Hua looked at each other and cupped their fists. They returned to the camp of Mount Hua and selected several elite disciples. Together, they quietly rushed down the mountain from another mountain path and sneaked behind the Mongolian army, preparing to assassinate Sei Itō.
