Although the Huashan Sect's people were invincible because of the Huashan Sect's two elders, they were not serious assassins. One could imagine the consequences of their inexperience. Not long after they charged into the Yuan army, a disciple's mistake exposed their whereabouts, causing them to be besieged by the soldiers.
"What's going on in the rear?" Sei Itō asked the officer beside him.
"Sir, the Huashan Sect's people ambushed the rear and were discovered by the guards. They are currently being arrested," the officer said respectfully.
"Okay." Sei Itō nodded and turned to Ya Ye, who was beside him, and said, "Go to the rear and help. Although the Huashan Sect's people are a little stupid, their martial arts are not weak. Relying on the soldiers alone might not be enough to suppress them."
"Okay." Ya Ye nodded and led two or three soldiers to the rear.
After Ya Ye arrived, he carefully observed the Huashan Sect's people who were surrounded by soldiers. He lowered his body and whispered a few words into the ears of the soldiers he brought. Then, he jumped off his horse and blended into the crowd. From time to time, he would kill the Huashan Sect's disciples.
Slowly, the situation in the rear began to change. Because the Huashan Sect's disciples were killed by Ya Ye's sneak attack, the Huashan Sect's people were greatly reduced. The originally small number of ambushers was reduced to two or three kittens. The Huashan Sect's two elders did not pay attention to the situation of their disciples. They only cared about preserving their lives. After they killed another soldier, they suddenly realized that they were surrounded. Outside the encirclement, several groups of archers on horseback pulled their bows into the shape of a full moon. Cold arrows were aimed at the surrounded Huashan Sect's people.
"Senior Brother, the situation is bad. What should we do?" The junior brother of the Huashan Sect's two elders whispered in his ear.
"What else can we do? Charge!" Eldest Senior Brother said in a low voice before shouting fiercely. The remaining Mount Hua disciples immediately rushed toward the soldiers in front of them. However, the two elders of Mount Hua waited for the disciples to run in front of them before they quickly turned around and broke out of the encirclement.
Caught off guard by this sudden change, they missed the opportunity to surround the two elders of Huashan. Only Ya Ye's blade managed to cut the second elder of Huashan's body, leaving behind a deep wound. The two elders of Huashan rushed out almost unscathed. As for the disciples who were left behind, their desperation gave them an even stronger survival instinct. They killed the surrounding soldiers again and again, and actually achieved good results.
After clearing out all the Huashan disciples, the soldiers at the rear cleaned up the battlefield. Some of them were assigned to guard the surroundings, while the rest returned to their original positions, waiting for Sei Itō's orders to attack.
"The two elders of Huashan escaped," Ya Ye returned to Sei Itō's side and said gloomily.
"It doesn't matter. Those two cunning bastards won't be able to do anything. It doesn't make any difference if we have more of them," Sei Itō said indifferently.
Looking at the army that was gradually advancing toward the Kongdong Sect's mountain gate, Sei Itō waved his hand. Immediately, another batch of new forces joined the army and accelerated their advance toward the Kongdong Sect.
"Reporting, Sir." At this moment, a mounted scout came to Sei Itō. He dismounted and half-knelt as he reported, "500 li away from the army, a group of people is rapidly approaching. From the looks of it, it seems to be Prince Ruyang's army."
"Prince Ruyang's army? Isn't Prince Ruyang's army in Hebei Province? Why are they here? "Sei Itō muttered to himself with a frown.
A slightly smarter officer at the side hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sir, I remember that Prince Ruyang's young princess led a group of troops out of the capital and headed toward the Western Regions. Could it be …"
"Zhao Min?" Sei Itō raised his eyebrows and said.
"Yes, that seems to be her Chinese name," the officer said with a nod.
"That's right. It really could be her." Sei Itō thought for a moment and nodded. He looked at the officer at the side with admiration and said to the mounted scout, "Let's go down and investigate."
"Yes." The mounted scout got up and quickly disappeared from sight after receiving the order.
"Zhao Min, Zhao Min. My actions must have affected her plans, so she can't change her plans. I just don't know why she came here," Sei Itō thought to himself.
A speed of five hundred miles per hour was neither too far nor too close. However, to Zhao Min's troops, this distance was nothing. Before the army could even enter the Kongdong Sect's mountain gate, Zhao Min had already led several dozen cavalry and several martial arts experts to Sei Itō's banner.
"Oh, isn't this little Zhao Min?" Sei Itō looked at Zhao Min, who was dressed as a man, and teased her.
Sei Itō and Zhao Min met in a very dramatic way. Back then, Zhao Min's intelligence was widely known among the Mongolian nobles. In addition, she often helped her father, Prince Ruyang, come up with strategies. This caused little Zhao Min to be very proud when she was young. Therefore, when Sei Itō mysteriously appeared a few years ago and his subsequent influence on the Yuan Dynasty, Zhao Min naturally noticed it. Then, she used her identity to secretly investigate. In the end, she was captured by Sei Itō and Ya Ye, who went to the translation center one day.
Looking at the man in front of her, who looked like a demon, who had not changed his appearance at all in the past five years, Zhao Min felt gloomy for a moment. Then, she put on a smile and said, "Greetings, Sir Yi."
Sei Itō nodded and said with a smile, "Little Zhao Min, why are you here?"
"Of course, I'm here for Mr. Itochu's action." Zhao Min didn't hide anything when she heard Itochu's question.
"Oh?" Sei Itō deliberately raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Min with a dignified expression.
"Because Sir Yi's actions ruined my plans," Zhao Min was quite familiar with Sei Itō, so she did not care that Sei Itō deliberately put on a stern face.
"What plans do you have?" Sei Itō looked at Zhao Min with interest and asked.
"Originally, I wanted to use spies to sow discord between the Six Major Sects and the Ming Cult. Then, I wanted the Six Major Sects to besiege Guang Ming Peak. When both sides were injured, I wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop. But … "Zhao Min paused and looked at Sei Itō before continuing," Because of Sir Yi's sudden actions, my plans were disrupted. Right now, Guang Ming Peak is still very powerful, but aside from the Wudang Sect, which I don't know why, the other Six Major Sects have all been destroyed by Sir Yi. So, I had no choice but to change some of my plans to achieve my goal of eliminating these rebels. "
"So you still blame me?" Sei Itō said calmly.
"I wouldn't dare." Zhao Min would not admit it. Although she was quite familiar with Sei Itō, she was not familiar enough with him to understand his temperament. If he really stirred up trouble, she or Prince Ru Yang's Residence, which she represented, would be in trouble.
"Hmm, what do you plan to do?" Sei Itō asked.
"I will cooperate with Sir Yi and do my best to eliminate these rebels," Zhao Min answered straightforwardly.
"Thank you, Little Zhao Min." Sei Itō smiled and said casually, "I've heard that there are many strange people around Little Zhao Min. I wonder if you can broaden my horizons."
"Of course." Zhao Min's heart trembled, but she immediately smiled. She turned around and said a few words to a few old men around her. Then, the old men immediately jumped out and blended into the soldiers as they charged toward the Kongdong Sect.
Sei Itō looked at Zhao Min's performance and smiled inwardly. 'Smart people really think a lot …'
With the addition of these powerful soldiers, the Kongdong Sect's defenses were almost immediately penetrated. A large number of soldiers poured into the Kongdong Sect from the mountain gate and fought with the disciples of Shaolin Temple, Emei Temple, Huashan Temple, and Kongdong Sect. As for those old men, they instantly found a few Sect Leaders and started fighting.
"As expected of experts," Sei Itō said with a smile.
"You're too kind. Compared to Sir, they really can't be considered as experts," Zhao Min said respectfully. Although she had seen Sei Itō's martial arts before, that was when she was young. How could she tell if he was strong or not? Saying that Sei Itō was stronger than her subordinates was just flattery. She conveniently changed the topic so that it would not lead to anything else.
Time slowly passed, and red clouds appeared on the horizon. The red light shone on the ground, dyeing the cold corpses with a layer of warm color, adding a touch of art to the scene.
The battle had completely ended seven minutes ago. In the Kongdong Sect, only the Sect Masters of Shaolin Temple, Emei Temple, and Huashan Temple managed to escape with a few disciples. The Sect Master of the Kongdong Sect died in battle, and most of the Kongdong Sect disciples were killed. Blood washed the ground of the Kongdong Sect's mountain gate.
After cleaning up the Kongdong Sect, Sei Itō led Ya Ye and several soldiers into the Kongdong Sect, along with Zhao Min and a few others.
