The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 102 Rescue! Rescue!
The fight in the courtyard stopped, and the martial artists, who were already confused by what happened tonight, were hit hard again.

The Shaolin Temple has been well-known in the martial arts world for nearly a thousand years. While other martial arts schools have experienced their ups and downs, births and deaths, only Shaolin Temple is the true evergreen tree of the martial arts world and a well-deserved leader.

To be honest, even if the Five Mountains Sword Sect was destroyed by the Sun Moon Divine Sect, these martial artists would be shocked, but would not be surprised. After all, over the years, many sects had been destroyed by the Sun Moon Divine Sect.

But if it was the Shaolin Temple that was destroyed by the Sun Moon Sect, these martial artists would not only be shocked, but would also feel a strong sense of panic and uneasiness.

If the Five Mountains Sword Sect is the backbone of the resistance against the Sun Moon Sect, then the Shaolin Temple and the Wudang Sect are the last support for the righteous people.
If even a thousand-year-old sect like Shaolin Temple was destroyed by the Sun Moon Divine Sect, it would be like draining the confidence from the hearts of all righteous people, making them lose the will to resist.

When that time comes, the day when the Sun Moon Sect unifies the world will not be far away!

Therefore, all the martial artists in the courtyard pricked up their ears, listening to every word spoken by the monk who reported the news, for fear of missing a single word.

Zuo Lengchan asked someone to bring a bucket of water to the monk. After the monk gulped down the water, which was burning like a charcoal, he continued to ask, "The distance from Shaolin Temple to Hengshan City is more than 2,000 miles. How long did it take you to get here?"

The monk put down his water scoop, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied, "My disciple used Qinggong to run or ride a horse along the way, and it took him three days and three nights in total!"

Zuo Lengchan looked at the monk's bloodshot eyes and frowned, "It's been so long, I'm afraid that the demon sect has already taken over your Shaolin Temple!"

The monk licked his cracked lips and said confidently, "Master Zuo, please rest assured. Our abbot said that it won't be a problem for Shaolin Temple to resist for a few days."

"However, it would be best if Alliance Leader Zuo could bring all the masters of the Five Mountains Sword Sect and rush there as soon as possible, otherwise something unexpected might happen."

Zuo Lengchan is a heroic figure after all. At critical moments, he can distinguish the priorities of things. What's more, things tonight are already beyond repair, so he can just take advantage of the situation to back off.

Tonight, all the masters of their Songshan Sect were out, but they were unable to defeat anyone from the Huashan Sect. If the battle continued to be stalemate, their Songshan Sect would become a complete joke.

Saving Shaolin Temple is definitely a very correct reason and step!
Turning to look at Yue Buqun and the others not far away, Zuo Lengchan said in a cold voice: "Junior Brother Yue, how about we put aside the internal disputes of our Five Mountains Sword Sect for the time being?"

Yue Buqun said calmly: "Everything depends on what the leader says!"

If Yue Buqun had answered like this before the battle tonight began, it would definitely be a sign of weakness and submission to Zuo Lengchan; but now, after a evenly matched battle, if he continued to speak like this, it would become a manifestation of his knowledge, manners and courtesy.

The same sentence, when said when you have the ability and when said when you don't, will have two completely opposite meanings in the ears of others.

The atmosphere eased, and people from Taishan Sect and Hengshan Sect also came over. The four major sword sects began to discuss the idea of "rescuing Shaolin".

To sum up, there are two main points: first, the speed must be fast! Second, the strength must be strong!
Just as everyone was discussing who should stay and who should go, people from the four major sword sects came one after another in a hurry and said anxiously: "Our mountain gate has been surrounded by the demon sect members. We urgently need other sects in the Five Mountains Sword Sect to send people to rescue us!"

Whether it was Songshan, Huashan, Hengshan or Taishan, people came to report and ask for help, which happened to arrive at the same time as the message for help from Shaolin Temple, and the timing was just right.

After everyone discussed it, they analyzed that this was a conspiracy of the Demon Cult to "besiege Wei to save Zhao".

Those members of the Demon Cult who besieged the gate of the Five Mountains Sword Sect should be just some miscellaneous soldiers. Only Ren Woxing and others who besieged the Shaolin Temple were the main target of this incident.

But to be on the safe side, the four major sword sects had to arrange personnel to rush back to rescue their respective mountain gates.

As for Hengshan Sect? The King of Heaven Xiang Wentian made such a fuss tonight and took away Liu Zhengfeng's entire family. This is enough to make Hengshan Sect fuss for a while.
At the same time, most of the martial artists who were watching the battle left Liu's house, and a few of them joined the discussion.

These people are either elders of the Beggars' Sect or leaders of their own factions. Both their strength and reputation are well-known in the martial arts world. Even people from the Five Mountains Sword Sect have to look up to them and give them some face.

After discussion, Hengshan Sect decided to send Master Dingyi and two junior sisters to the Shaolin Temple for rescue. As for the other disciples, they would continue to stay in Hengshan City and wait for the three to return, in case they were ambushed and killed by the people from the Demon Sect when they returned alone!

The Taishan Sect sent its leader, Taoist Tianmen, his junior fellow Taoist Tiansong, and another junior fellow Taoist Tianbai, to lead the remaining disciples back to their own mountain gate.

There is no need to say much about the Songshan Sect, which is a neighbor of the Shaolin Temple. The Sect Leader Zuo Lengchan and the Thirteen Guardians will certainly all rush back. Let the disciples walk back slowly!
The Huashan Sect, with its many members, from the leader to the youngest disciple, is all here. There is no need to worry about what will happen on Huashan. I believe that those people from the Demon Sect will not go there with the servants on the mountain, right? !
As for the Siguo Cliff in the back mountain that records the sword techniques of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, with Master Feng watching over it, what else can happen? !
After some discussion, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze decided to send the couple, their eldest disciple Linghu Chong, and their youngest disciple Xu Xingchen, a group of four people, to Shaolin Temple for the rescue!
The other disciples, as well as his daughter Yue Lingshan, were still somewhat weak in martial arts, so he let them stay in Hengshan City with the disciples of Hengshan Sect and wait for their return. In addition to the four major sword sects, the martial artists who stayed behind to discuss the matter also sent out a dozen masters.

After the discussion, people in the courtyard gradually dispersed.

In order to send personnel to monitor Liu Zhengfeng's every move, the Songshan Sect rented a house in the city early on, so they had their own place to stay tonight.

The Hengshan Sect, Taishan Sect, and Huashan Sect have been living in Liu Zhengfeng's yard for the past three days. The restaurants and inns outside have also been filled with martial artists who came to participate in the "Golden Basin Washing Hands" conference.
Fortunately, when Xu Xingchen and Zuo Lengchan fought, they only demolished the house in the backyard and the lobby in the middle courtyard, without affecting the side courtyards on the left and right sides. This gave the people from the three major sects a place to sleep and rest.

At midnight, the bright moon moved to the middle of the sky, still casting its cool silver light on Hengshan City.

The front yard of the mansion was in a mess.
Wooden tables, benches, bowls, plates, cups and pots were all shattered into pieces on the ground, and were pushed to the corners by the strong wind from the previous fight.
On one side of the courtyard wall, a man appeared silently. He was tall and thin, with a haggard face, and was wearing a blue cloth shirt that had been washed so much that it looked bleached.

The moonlight shone between his brows, and the deep sorrow in his eyes was very impressive!

He looked at the dilapidated scene in the courtyard, and after a while, he sighed silently. The sad sound of the huqin sounded faintly, just like the smell of sadness on his body, spreading out with the night wind.
When the people from the three major sword sects who were resting in the side courtyard heard the sad sound of the huqin coming from the wind, their hearts were moved!
In a dark room
Xu Xingchen lay in bed, staring at the mosquito net above his head, unable to sleep.

Some of the things that happened tonight were within his expectations, some were within his imagination, and some were completely beyond his expectations.

What was foreseen was the plot in the book; what was envisioned was the involvement of the Demon Cult; what was beyond expectation was the arrival of Zuo Lengchan, the head of the Songshan Sect, and the gathering of the Thirteen Guardians.
When he came to attend Uncle Liu Zhengfeng's "washing hands with gold basin" meeting, he had imagined that this meeting would be more complicated than the plot in the book, but he did not expect that the reality was so much more complicated than he imagined.
It's true, you finish your performance and I'll take the stage, the Songshan Demon Cult will come together!

The scene was high-energy, hot and full of fierce conflicts.
He had never thought that the Huashan Sect would fight the Songshan Sect so soon, and in the process of head-on confrontation, they were evenly matched with the Songshan Sect.
His arrival changed the fate of all the people in Huashan Sect, changed the trend of the entire Jianghu, and also changed the time of the Songshan Sect.
At this moment, the sad sound of the erhu, spreading with the night wind, also floated into the room and reached his ears.

".Is this song Xiaoxiang Night Rain?"

"Uncle Liu and his family managed to survive tonight and were not killed by the Songshan Sect."

"But, I wonder how life will be like when I get to the Sun Moon Sect?"

"Given Xiang Wentian's personality, he shouldn't make things difficult for them."

".That's good! It's a good ending tonight!"

A speechless night!
Early the next morning, everyone gathered at the gate of Hengshan City.

Unexpectedly, the head of the Hengshan School, Mr. Mo Da, was also present, carrying a huqin and looking sad.

He was also accompanied by a fellow apprentice, who was none other than Lu Lianrong, the man known behind the scenes as "Golden-eyed Crow".

While Mr. Mo Da was talking with everyone, "Golden-eyed Crow" Lu Lianrong's face remained indifferent, and he even ignored everyone from the Huashan Sect.

Obviously, the embarrassing incident that happened on Mount Huashan was enough to make him bear a grudge for the rest of his life!

As the head of the Hengshan Sect, Mr. Mo Da's prestige is not as high as that of his junior brother Liu Zhengfeng, but he still has some power. In addition, now that Liu Zhengfeng has "colluded with the Demon Sect", his disciples are in disarray.

Mr. Mo Da's appearance immediately calmed the hearts of his disciples!

At the same time, as a member of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, he had to respond to the Shaolin Temple's request for help. Therefore, he brought his junior brother Lu Lianrong and went out in person.

As for the Hengshan Sect, there are still a few of his disciples taking care of it, so there is no need to worry.
Mr. Mo Da arranged more than forty good horses. Everyone did not delay, mounted their horses, and set off quickly!
