Chapter 330 Hardships and Difficulties Lead to the Void Sect
What is the situation in Yuzhou, and how is Yan Shouyi doing?
These are all what Zhou Heng cares about and worries about.
If he just waits outside for news in vain, he will feel guilty and his thoughts will not be clear.
Although his current cultivation level is not high, he has special skill cards and special permissions obtained by opening the lucky bag, as well as the projection card of the magic weapon "Fan Tian Yin".
Even if he really encounters a strong enemy that even Yan Shouyi can hardly deal with, these can be of some use and can solve some problems.
As for how to break through the Dao Ying mist and enter Yuzhou, he has already thought about it.
Go to Zhixu Sect to find Chen Yingyu first.
Give the Zhixu Sect inheritance obtained from the Qingyu statue to Chen Yingyu, and then obtain the secret method to enter the Dao Ying mist.
However, at the last Zhoutian Xunjiesi gathering, Chen Yingyu seemed a little absent-minded, which made Zhou Heng a little worried about her strong will and whether she could lead the Zhixu Sect to develop and become stronger.
Originally, Zhou Heng wanted to find an opportunity to observe Chen Yingyu's situation carefully, but now the situation is urgent, and he can't care too much.
It is true that he had received the favor of Zhixu Sect and had the responsibility to find a suitable successor for Zhixu Sect, but he had received a greater favor from Yan Shouyi.
The most urgent task was to obtain a method to enter Daoying Mist as soon as possible.
…
In the territory of Yueling County, Tongzhou.
Qingwei Mountain.
This is the mountain gate station of Zhixu Sect.
In fact, originally this place was not called Qingwei Mountain with a Taoist name, but was just called Santou Mountain, which was no more than a hundred feet high and was not even considered a mountain peak.
Three years ago, the severely damaged Zhixu Sect moved its mountain gate here and changed its name to Qingwei Mountain.
It was the original mountain gate of Zhixu Sect, which was more than three thousand feet high, stretching for thousands of miles, magnificent and magnificent, but it no longer exists and was razed to the ground in the attack of Jiusi Fa Sect.
Now they can only take solace in Qingwei Mountain, which is no more than a hundred feet high.
But even if the mountain gate station has been moved to such a place, the life of Zhixu Sect is still not easy.
There are six other mountains around Qingwei Mountain, including Sifang Mountain, Yuanwang Mountain, Dayang Mountain, etc., with various sects and mountain strongholds.
Among them, there are many forces with the sixth-grade secret master.
The two strongholds and four sects are the strongest forces in the six mountains, among which the Shenhou Village and the Canglang Sect are the leaders.
Both forces have innate masters of the sixth-grade secret master, which are considered to be the top masters in this small world of the six mountains. The strength of other forces cannot be predicted at all.
Qingwei Sect is at the bottom of the four sects, and even because only Chen Yingyu, the head of the sect, is at the top of the seventh grade, and he has only been here for two years, he has not yet established a firm foothold and is facing challenges at any time.
Especially in the "Shenfu Village", the strongest in Santou Mountain, it has been eyeing Qingwei Sect from the position of mountain master and ascending to the position of the long-awaited Santou Mountain Master.
Moreover, because the deputy village master of Shenfu Village has reached the top of the seventh grade by some unknown opportunity, and the big village master who was originally at the top of the seventh grade, his strength has surpassed Qingwei Sect.
This made the minds of the Qingwei Sect, which had not yet settled down, even more panic. Some time ago, there was even an incident where a new disciple ran away directly.
Chen Yingyu was very worried about this. Even the number of tasks she went out to complete in the Zhoutian Patrol Division was reduced a lot. As the head of the sect, she had the responsibility to maintain the stable development of the Zhixu Sect.
There was a jade platform in front of the Shoujing Hall on the top of Qingwei Mountain. This was where Chen Yingyu often sat when she thought about things.
Today, she still sat here.
On the jade platform, the 22-year-old head of the Qingwei Sect looked at the sky helplessly, watching the white clouds floating in the sky quietly. After a long time, she gently closed her eyes and exhaled a long breath.
Many times, she would involuntarily think of the time when her father was still there, the life in the original Qingwei Mountain, and the time when the Qingwei Sect was still considered a top sect in the world.
At that time, she was the daughter of the head of the sect, loved and carefree.
In terms of martial arts, she had excellent guidance and practiced martial arts that countless casual martial artists dreamed of. At the age of nineteen, she reached the peak of the seventh rank and was expected to compete for the top spot on the list.
But all this changed three years ago.
The evil Nine Deaths Sect suddenly attacked, and the head elders and other strong men of the third rank were all killed, and the sect's classics were almost looted, and the entire Qingwei Mountain was smashed to pieces.
She was protected by her father before his death, and she barely escaped under the protection of some servants and true disciples. In the end, there were only twenty or thirty disciples of the Zhixu Sect who gathered around her.
She, who was at the peak of the seventh rank, became the strongest one.
In order to avoid the attack of the Nine Deaths Sect, she even took those twenty or thirty people to live in anonymity for a while.
If it weren't for the fact that Chunyang Palace suppressed and warned the Nine Deaths Sect because of its friendship with the Zhixu Sect in the past, and found Santou Mountain, a place that was temporarily more suitable for development, the Zhixu Sect might not have had a chance to rebuild.
But even if it is rebuilt, it is only an empty shell. If it wants to truly revive and seek revenge on the Nine Deaths Sect, there is still a long way to go.
"Fortunately, I got the opportunity to join the Zhoutian Patrol Division. I can make a wish in the wishing pool and get various resources and martial arts guidance. In this way, the hope of reviving the Zhixu Sect is much greater."
Chen Yingyu was full of emotion and was full of gratitude to the person who had lured her to join the Zhoutian Patrol Division. This person really changed her fate and also changed the fate of the Zhixu Sect.
"It is very difficult for Qingwei Sect to rebuild, Shenfu Village, I will not let you succeed!" Chen Yingyu's eyes were firm, and she said in a deep voice: "I must lead Zhixu Sect to revive, and then take revenge on Jiusi Fa Sect!"
Her eyes seemed to be burning with flames, and her whole body was like a big ball of flame, exuding an extremely strong fighting spirit, and she had made up her mind to fight to the death with Shenfu Village.
Now this Qingwei Mountain is small and not large in scale, but it is extremely important to the current Zhixu Sect.
Whether it is forging weapons or cultivating medicinal herbs, a place is needed, even practicing martial arts and recruiting disciples. Without a place, it is like a rootless duckweed.
Here are the ores they need and the disciples suitable for cultivating medicinal herbs. There are also many villages at the foot of the mountain, which are suitable for recruiting disciples. Naturally, they must be held tightly in their hands and cannot be snatched away by others.
"However, the chief of Shenfu Village, Peng Kang, and the second chief, Yu Liang, are both at the peak of the seventh rank. This is just the strength on the surface, and it is not easy to deal with them." Chen Yingyu frowned slightly, and was worried and confused at the same time.
Yu Liang, the second leader of the Divine Axe Village, was only at the eighth level half a year ago, not even at the peak of the eighth level. How could he have reached the peak of the seventh level in such a short time?
It was incredible.
"Alas, I can't figure it out, but the enemies I have to face will eventually have to be faced. I should first think about how to deal with their attacks." Chen Yingyu temporarily put aside her distracting thoughts and concentrated on thinking.
At this moment, she suddenly saw a figure appear in the clouds in the sky, and then she saw this figure falling from the sky and flying towards her.
"Who is it?!" Chen Yingyu was surprised and alert at first, but after seeing the look of the figure clearly, she was immediately shocked and full of surprise, "Xing... Zhou, Taoist Zhou?!"
She originally wanted to call him Star Lord, but then she realized that this was not in the Zhoutian Patrol Division and the two of them were in normal status, so she quickly changed her words.
"Master Chen, how are you?" Zhou Heng landed, bowed and smiled, "I'm sorry for coming here uninvited."
"I can't welcome you enough, welcome, welcome." Chen Yingyu shook her head quickly, and took Zhou Heng to the jade platform, invited him to sit down, and smiled, "Master Zhou, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Well, there are indeed some things that I need to discuss with Master Chen, it's like this..." Zhou Heng nodded directly, without beating around the bush, and was about to explain the situation to Chen Yingyu directly.
But just as he was about to explain the situation, a young disciple suddenly rushed over and interrupted him.
"What's going on?" Chen Yingyu frowned.
"Master, it's bad, it's terrible!" The disciple was panting and very anxious. "There are warriors from the Shenfu Village challenging us in front of the mountain gate. They said they want to block us like Zhou Heng blocked the gate of Changxing Sect. They will hurt one of us if we go out."
"What?!" Chen Yingyu was furious when he heard this, and his body was shaking with anger. "Okay, in that case, I will go out and meet them in the Shenfu Village. Tell all the disciples to follow me out of the mountain gate!"
"Yes!" The disciple was immediately excited. After bowing, he hurried down to pass the order.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh." Chen Yingyu said with a wry smile.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Heng looked outside and asked.
"It's just a trivial matter of the sect. I can handle it." Chen Yingyu smiled and said, "Please wait here for a while. I'll be back soon."
"Why don't we go together?" Zhou Heng said.
"How can I have the nerve to involve you." Chen Yingyu shook her head gently and refused.
"Master Chen, have you forgotten? Chunyang Palace and Zhixu Sect have always been on good terms." Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Now that Zhixu Sect is in trouble, I just happened to be here. How can I just stand by and watch?"
"This..." Chen Yingyu was a little touched and nodded, "Okay, thank you very much, Taoist priest. Please follow me."
She felt a little complicated.
It is true that Zhixu Sect and Chunyang Palace have always been on good terms, but that was when the two sects were equally powerful.
Now that Zhixu Sect is in trouble and does not even have a sixth-grade secret master, Zhou Heng, as the junior uncle of Chunyang Palace, still remembers this favor, which is rare.
Of course, this may also be because Zhou Heng is a member of the Zhoutian Patrol Division, but in any case, she firmly remembers this favor in her heart.
...
On the way to the mountain gate, Zhou Heng also asked about the grievances between Zhixu Sect and Shenfu Village.
Originally, Chen Yingyu and other Zhixu Sect disciples who had escaped death were thinking of finding a secluded place to develop steadily and slowly rebuild the Zhixu Sect, but the great man from the Chunyang Palace who helped them through the disaster made them come to Santou Mountain.
And they had not left their names, nor had they used the prestige of the Chunyang Palace to intimidate the sects and strongholds that were originally here, which led to the Zhixu Sect still having to rely on its own strength to gain a firm foothold step by step.
Although Santou Mountain was originally ownerless, Shenfu Village was considered the most powerful stronghold in this mountain, and only another Cangtian Gate was on par with it.
Originally, the position of the mountain master was only fought for by Shenfu Village and Cangtian Gate.
But when the Zhixu Sect came, Chen Yingyu's strength far exceeded that of an ordinary seventh-grade peak, and he defeated the two families alone, won the position of mountain master, and truly gained a foothold here.
Seeing that Chen Yingyu was powerful, Cangtian Gate was unwilling to compete with him, and directly led the crowd to leave Santou Mountain, but Shenfu Village refused to give up, and has been fighting against the Zhixu Sect for the past two years.
Recently, the second leader of the Shenfu Village inexplicably broke through to the peak of the seventh rank, which made them more confident and wanted to directly bring down the Zhixu Sect.
This led to the frequent fights between the two families during this period of time.
After this understanding, Zhou Heng almost knew what the fellow disciple of the Chunyang Palace who helped the Zhixu Sect out of trouble meant.
Born in adversity, die in comfort.
Nothing more than this.
Just want the Zhixu Sect to rise in difficulties, this is the real revival.
…
Zhou Heng and Chen Yingyu walked quickly, and soon arrived at the gate of the Zhixu Sect.
Chen Yingyu walked in front, Zhou Heng lagged behind a little, and hid his breath.
He did this on purpose, and always had to show Chen Yingyu's status as the leader in front of the disciples of the Zhixu Sect.
At this time, the gate of the Zhixu Sect was already tense.
More than 20 disciples of the Zhixu Sect stood here with swords and knives, some old and some young, and were confronting the fifty or sixty strong men holding axes on the opposite side.
In terms of individual strength, the disciples of Zhixu Sect are much stronger than those of Shenfu Village, but Shenfu Village is larger, with a total number of more than three times that of Zhixu Sect.
It is said that two fists cannot beat four hands. In the lower third-grade stage, the advantage of numbers is still great.
"Master!"
"You are here, Master!"
"Master, these bandits of Shenfu Village are unreasonable!"
"They actually want us to give up the mountain gate!"
When the disciples of Zhixu Sect saw Chen Yingyu coming, they all shouted in indignation and were very dissatisfied with the people of Shenfu Village.
"Be patient." Chen Yingyu behaved very calmly in front of the disciples.
She gently pressed her hand, signaling everyone not to speak, and then looked at the Shenfu Village. Her eyes stayed on the two middle-aged men in the front, and smiled: "Peng Kang, Yu Liang, the two village masters actually came in person, I am sorry for not welcoming you."
Zhou Heng stood behind her, watching quietly. If it was not necessary, he would not take action.
"Little girl, don't use these flowery words with us brothers, we don't buy it!" Peng Kang sneered. He was a strong man eight feet tall. Although he was over sixty years old, he was very good at martial arts and practiced horizontal training. He looked like a man in his forties.
"That's right, don't talk nonsense. We brothers came here to take over yours, hahaha!" Yu Liang laughed. He was skinny and looked like a monkey. He also looked like he was in his forties.
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Yingyu wantonly, licked his lips with his tongue, and looked greedy.
"Master Chen, it's not difficult for you to keep your Zhixu Sect. As long as you agree to be my eldest brother's wife, everything will be fine!"
