The righteous sects valued their reputation far more than the Devil Cult. Seeing that the Alliance Leader was unwilling to take the lead, after some discussion, the Yellow Mountain Pai's Sect Leader Liu Mujian stepped forward and said, "Laofu is not talented, but I also want to experience what it feels like to walk this iron chain in my lifetime. Four Young Heroes, could you please let Laofu take the lead? "
This was a wonderful thing that the four of them could not even ask for. Lu Qian hastily bowed and said, "Liu Shibo, among all of us here, your martial art skill is the strongest, your prestige is the highest. If you don't take the lead, who else would dare to take the lead? Not to mention the heroes can't stand it, even I would like to fight for justice. "
Liu Mujian's skin was extremely thick, after being flattered by Lu Qian, he did not feel ashamed. Instead, he said complacently, "Young Hero Lu, you flatter me. Ha ha, even if Laofu's martial art skill is better than others, I still have to be humble. Today's Wulin world is still the world of you youngsters. "
Lu Qian laughed and said, "You flatter me. People say that old steeds are still in the stable, but their aspirations are still a thousand li." Liu Mujian laughed and walked toward the iron chain. He stood on his tiptoes to see if he could bear the weight. Then he slowly put his arms behind his back, quietly took a deep breath, and stepped onto the chain.
Only after Liu Mujian safely leaped onto the opposite cliff did the righteous sects burst into thunderous cheers. A tall and sturdy young man walked out from the middle of the crowd. He stood in front of the cliff and cupped his fist toward the four people. Li Yijie recognized him as Wudang Pai's Jie Yan. The two of them could only be considered acquaintances, but Li Yijie knew that he was a true man. This time Wudang was not attacked. Maybe the Devil Cult was afraid of the Wulin world's second largest sect and did not dare to provoke them. Or maybe there was some other conspiracy.
But the Sect Leader, Lin Kong Daozhang, sent his disciples to help. He had always been a gentle and kind old man. Even when the Righteous and the Devil Cult were fighting, he was not careless. His action received a lot of praise. On the other hand, Shaolin Pai did not make any move. The Abbot, Great Master Tongchan, was in closed-door training all year round. That was one thing, but the monks in the temple did not participate.
These thoughts flashed through Li Yijie's mind. He smiled and said, "Brother Jie Yan, do you want to give it a try?" "That's right," Jie Yan replied, "It's just an iron chain. If we're afraid of it, we won't be able to deal with the Devil Cult's Big Devil. As long as you set your mind right, you don't have to worry about being unstable! "These words really had a double meaning.
Nangong Xue had already ignored them while they were exchanging greetings. She walked to the side and examined Meng Anying's injuries. Seeing that there was no more blood seeping out of her wounds and her pulse was stable, she felt relieved. "Shifu," she said softly, "Let Shixiong and the others deal with Jiang Liechen. You have not fully recovered, disciple will stay here with you." Meng Anying rolled her eyes and sternly said, "No! I must see the destruction of the Devil Cult with my own eyes. Only then will I be able to recover from the trauma of the past few decades. Otherwise, I won't be able to rest in peace even after death! If you really care about Shifu, then think of a way to help me get over there. "
Meng Anying had always handled matters calmly. Even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her, she would not bat an eyelid. But right now, her eyes were shining brightly, revealing a deep hatred and a majesty that would not allow anyone to defy her. Nangong Xue felt a faint sense of fear when being stared at by her Shifu's fierce gaze. Not only was she always obedient and had never disobeyed Meng Anying's wishes, but there was also an invisible pressure that made it difficult for her to refuse. She reluctantly nodded and replied, "Yes."
Looking around, Jie Yan already had one foot on the iron chain. She silently thought that in this place, he was the only honest and reliable person worthy of her trust. She naturally knew that this was not an easy task. Even walking on the iron chain by herself, there was the risk of losing her footing at any time. Therefore, even if the other party refused, it would be reasonable. The situation could not be worse. After thinking it over, she clenched her fists and encouraged herself in her heart. She jogged forward and called out, "Shixiong Jie Yan!" She had only called out once before she felt her face heat up. The courage that had just emerged was once again extinguished.
Jie Yan and Nangong Xue were not familiar with each other. When he heard her call out his Taoist name, he was slightly surprised. At this moment, he was about to raise his other foot, but it was unexpectedly suspended in the air. His body swayed violently. Li Yijie hurriedly reached out to support him and said, "Be careful!" Jie Yan grunted and nodded to him gratefully. Then he turned to Nangong Xue and said, "This is … Shixiong Xue? You're looking for me? What's the matter? "
Nangong Xue was scrutinized from head to toe by his slightly suspicious gaze. She felt embarrassed and said, "Shixiong Jie Yan, I have a presumptuous request. My Shifu … he's concerned about the battle between good and evil. He must see the final result with his own eyes. So … I'd like to trouble you … "As she said this, she became a bit bashful.
Jie Yan was also a careless person. When he heard her vague hints, he guessed what she wanted to say. He laughed and said, "You want me to carry Shixiong there? That's fine. Since Shixiong Xue remembered me, it means that she trusts me and gives Jie Yan a lot of face. Shixiong Xue is injured, but she still followed us on a long journey. Just her chivalrous spirit of eliminating evil and defending the Dao is enough to make people respect her. "
Nangong Xue was half happy and half worried. She said, "Thank you very much. I really don't know what to say …" Jie Yan laughed and said, "Fellow Daoists should help each other. You don't have to thank me."
Li Yijie and Nangong Xue helped Jie Yan and helped Meng Anying onto his back. They were on tenterhooks as they watched the two figures moving quickly on the iron chain, becoming smaller and smaller. Lu Qian was already unhappy. When the two of them were safely on the iron chain, he complained, "Xueer, you should've said this earlier. Why didn't you come and beg me? I could've helped carry your Shifu there too. "
Nangong Xue said indifferently, "I can't trust you." Lu Qian's face stiffened. Cheng Jiahua gloated and laughed, "Sister-in-law is right! You're already crooked to the point that your waist is parallel to your shoulders. Now that Meng Anying is crooked, she's about the same as you. You're half crooked and half crooked, so you're completely crooked. You're crooked again! If you're crooked until your ears touch the ground, you'll fall off the iron chain. No wonder Sister-in-law is worried. "
Lu Qian was so angry that he could only glare and say, "Leave it to me this time. I'll help Xueer Shimei over. Don't fight with me over her. Alliance Head Li, you know your own condition. If you don't want to harm Xueer, don't try to be brave. "Nangong Xue withdrew her hands into her sleeves and retreated a few steps. She didn't want to help him.
Another person walked over. It was Cao Zhenyan. Although the imperial court officers and soldiers who came with him fought bravely and fiercely on horseback, they didn't have the lightness skills of these martial arts masters who could cross over mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground. They knew that they wouldn't be able to pass through. Fortunately, they were only waiting to capture the criminal. They were waiting for Li Yijie to subdue Jiang Liechen and escort the number one rebel back to the capital. They weren't very interested in the life and death battle that was bound to shake the martial arts world, so they didn't want to watch.
The only one who was proficient in martial arts was their leader, Cao Zhenyan. He was highly regarded by the Prince Regent in the palace and was ordered to pay attention to the movements of Jianghu and report promptly. To prevent the common people from rebelling, the imperial court had planted many spies among the common people to pay close attention to their daily affairs. But this confidential information was only known to high-ranking officials. Cao Zhenyan had investigated a lot. Outside of official business, his interest was piqued and he was also looking forward to watching the battle.
Li Yijie had some dealings with him in the past. They could be considered acquaintances after exchanging blows. When they parted, their friendship was still good. He called out, "Official Cao, congratulations on your promotion and wealth." Cao Zhenyan was originally a prefectural magistrate, but now he was already a prefectural magistrate. But she had already flattered herself as a smart person, so she couldn't act stupid and ruin the show. She replied, "Okay, Brother Li, let's go."
While they were talking, many more people had passed through the iron chain. Lu Qian saw that there were no more martial art masters around. As long as he could get rid of his archenemy, Li Yijie, there was no one more suitable than him to escort Nangong Xue. As soon as the two of them passed, he immediately went over to Nangong Xue's side and said with a mischievous smile, "Xueer, let's go too." Cheng Jiahua stretched out his hand to stop him, saying, "We haven't decided yet."
On the other side of the cliff, An Yesun was extremely fed up with this group of upright people who were timid and didn't dare to come over. After a while, Liu Mujian finally took the lead. Not long afterwards, he saw Jie Yan carrying Meng Anying on his back and that Beggar Clan disciple Zhang Dayi carrying Yu Shuanglin on his back. He couldn't help sneering.
