Chapter 330 Hardships and Difficulties Lead to the Void Sect
How is the situation in Yuzhou? 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 "Fantian Seal".
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 Daoying mist and enter Yuzhou, he has already thought about it.
First go to Zhixu Sect to find Chen Yingyu.
Give the Zhixu Sect inheritance obtained from the Qingyu statue to Chen Yingyu, and then obtain the secret method of entering the Daoying mist.
However, at the last Zhoutian Xunjie Division 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 was thinking of finding an opportunity to observe Chen Yingyu's situation carefully, but now the situation is urgent and he can't care too much.
Admittedly, he has received the favor of Zhixu Sect and has the responsibility to find a suitable successor for Zhixu Sect, but he has received more favor from Yan Shouyi.
The most urgent task is to obtain a way to enter the 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, which is full of Taoist meanings. It was just called Santou Mountain, which was no more than a hundred feet high and was not even considered a mountain.
Three years ago, the severely damaged Zhixu Sect moved its mountain gate here and changed its name to Qingwei Mountain.
It used to be 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 now. It was razed to the ground in the attack of Jiusi Fa Sect.
Now we can only take solace in this Qingwei Mountain, which is no more than a hundred feet high.
But even though the mountain gate station has been moved to such a place, the life of Zhixu Sect is still not easy.
There are six 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 others 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 peak 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" with the strongest strength in Santou Mountain, it has been eyeing Qingwei Sect from the position of mountain master and ascending to the position of Santou Mountain Master that it has always expected.
Moreover, because the deputy leader of the Shenfu Village had reached the peak of the seventh rank by chance, and the leader of the village was already at the peak of the seventh rank, his strength had surpassed that of the Qingwei Sect.
This made the already unsettled minds of the Qingwei Sect even more panicked. Some time ago, there was even an incident where a new disciple ran away directly.
Chen Yingyu was very worried about this, and 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 usually sat when thinking 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 alive, the life in the original Qingwei Mountain, and the time when Qingwei Sect was still considered a top sect in the world.
At that time, she was the daughter of the head of the sect, and was doted on and had no worries.
In terms of martial arts, she had excellent teachings, practiced martial arts that countless casual martial artists dreamed of, and reached the peak of the seventh rank at the age of nineteen, hoping to compete for the top spot on the list.
But all this changed three years ago.
The people of the evil Nine Deaths Sect suddenly attacked, and the head of the sect and other middle-third-rank strongmen were all killed, and the sect's classics were almost looted, and the entire Qingwei Mountain was smashed to pieces.
She was desperately 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 gathered around her.
She, who was at the peak of the seventh rank, unexpectedly became the strongest one.
In order to avoid the attacks of the Nine Deaths Sect, she even led those twenty or thirty people to live in hiding for a while.
If it weren't for the fact that the Chunyang Palace, because of its past friendship with the Zhixu Sect, suppressed and warned the Nine Deaths Sect, and found Santou Mountain, a place that is temporarily more suitable for development, the Zhixu Sect might not have had the opportunity to rebuild.
But even if it was rebuilt, it would only be 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, where 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 sighed in her heart, full of gratitude to the person who had lured her to join the Zhoutian Patrol Division. This was the person who really changed her fate and also changed the fate of the Zhixu Sect.
"It's very difficult for the Qingwei Sect to rebuild. Shenfu Village, I won't let you succeed!" Chen Yingyu's eyes were firm and she said in a deep voice: "I must lead the Zhixu Sect to revive, and then follow the Nine Death Method Send for revenge!"
Her eyes seemed to be burning with flames, and her whole person was like a big ball of flames, exuding an extremely strong fighting spirit, and she was determined to fight to the death with the Divine Ax Village.
Although this Qingwei Mountain is small and not large in scale, it is extremely important to the current Zhixu Sect.
Whether it is forging weapons or cultivating medicinal herbs, space is needed. Even practicing martial arts and recruiting disciples also requires space. Without space, it would be nothing.
There are the ores they need and disciples suitable for cultivating medicinal herbs. There are also many villages at the foot of the mountain suitable for recruiting disciples. Naturally, they must hold them tightly and cannot be snatched away.
"However, Peng Kang, the leader of the big village of Shenxu Village, and Yu Liang, the leader of the second village, are both at the top of the seventh rank. This is just their strength on the surface, and it is difficult to deal with them." Chen Yingyu frowned slightly, feeling worried at the same time. Confuse.
Yu Liang, the second leader of the Divine Ax Village, was only at the eighth level half a year ago, and had not even reached the peak of the eighth level. How could he be promoted to the peak of the seventh level in such a short period of time?
It's incredible.
"Oh, I can't figure it out. However, the enemies we have to face will eventually be faced. Let's think about how to deal with their attacks first." Chen Yingyu put aside distracting thoughts for the time being and concentrated on thinking.
At this time, she suddenly saw a figure appearing in the clouds in the sky, and then saw the figure falling from the sky and flying towards her.
"Who?!" Chen Yingyu was surprised and wary at first, but after seeing the figure's gaze clearly, she was immediately stunned and full of surprise, "Xing... Zhou, Taoist Master Zhou?!"
She originally wanted to call Star Master, but then she realized that this was not in the Zhoutian Xunjie Division, and the two of them were in a normal status, so she hurriedly changed her tune.
"Master Chen, you're welcome." Zhou Heng landed, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I hope you'll forgive me for coming uninvited."
"It's not too late to welcome, welcome to welcome." Chen Yingyu shook her head quickly, and at the same time brought Zhou Heng to the Yutai, invited him to sit down, and said with a smile: "Do you want anything, Master Zhou?"
"Well, there are indeed some things that we need to discuss with Head Chen. It's like this..." Zhou Heng nodded directly, without beating around the bush, and was about to explain the situation to Chen Yingyu straight to the point.
But just when he was about to explain the situation, a young disciple suddenly rushed over and interrupted his speech.
"What's going on?" Chen Yingyu frowned.
"Master, it's bad, something bad has happened!" The disciple was panting and very anxious. "There are warriors from the Shenaxe Village calling for formation in front of the mountain gate, saying that they will follow the example of Zhou Heng who blocked the gate of the Changxing Sect. Block us up and they will hurt each one who comes out."
"What?!" Chen Yingyu was furious when he heard this, and his body was shaking with anger, "Okay, if that's the case, then I will go out, meet with their Divine Ax Stronghold for a while, and order all the disciples to follow me out of the mountain!"
"Yes!" The disciple suddenly became energetic, bowed his hands and hurriedly went down to deliver the order.
"It made the Taoist priest laugh." Chen Yingyu said with a bitter smile.
"What's going on?" Zhou Heng looked outside and asked.
"It's just trivial matters for the sect. I can handle it." Chen Yingyu smiled and said, "Please, Taoist Master, please stay here for a while. I'll be back soon."
"Why don't you go with us?" Zhou Heng said.
"Why do you have the nerve to involve the Taoist priest?" Chen Yingyu shook her head gently and refused.
"Have Master Chen forgotten? Chunyang Palace and the Zhixu Sect have always been on good terms." Zhou Heng smiled and said: "Now that the Zhixu Sect is in trouble, and I happen to be there, is there any reason to stand by and watch?"
"This..." Chen Yingyu was moved and nodded, "Okay, thank you so much, Taoist Priest. Please come with me."
Her mood was a little complicated.
Zhixu Sect and Chunyang Palace have always been on good terms, but that was when the two sects were equally powerful.
Nowadays, the Zhixu Sect is in trouble and does not even have a sixth-level secret. As the junior uncle of Chunyang Palace, it is rare for Zhou Heng to still remember this affection.
Of course, this may be because Zhou Heng is also a member of Zhou Tian Xunjie Division, but no matter what, she will keep this kindness firmly in her heart.
…
On the way to the mountain gate, Zhou Heng also asked clearly about the grudges between Zhixu Sect and Shenfu Village.
Originally, Chen Yingyu and other disciples of the Zhixu Sect who had narrowly escaped death wanted to find a secluded place to develop steadily and slowly rebuild the Zhixu Sect, but the powerful figure of Chunyang Palace who helped them survive the disaster asked them to come. Arrive at Santou Mountain.
Moreover, it has not yet left a name, and it has not used the prestige of Chunyang Palace to deter the sects and copycats originally here. This means that the Zhixu Sect still has to rely on its own strength to gain a foothold step by step.
Although this Santou Mountain was originally ownerless, Shenfu Village was considered to be the most powerful village in the mountain, with only one other Cangtian Sect being comparable to it.
Originally, only two families, Shenfu Village and Cangtianmen, were competing for the position of mountain master.
When the Zhixu Sect came, Chen Yingyu's strength far exceeded that of the ordinary seventh-grade peak. He directly defeated two families by himself and won the position of Mountain Lord, truly establishing a foothold here.
Seeing Chen Yingyu's strength, Cangtian Sect did not want to compete with him and led the crowd directly to leave Santoushan. However, 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!"
