Chapter 126 Vacuum Hometown
When they actually attacked the White Lotus Temple, Yue Hongling was glad that she was cautious enough when she was lurking here to observe and did not take action directly.
This temple looks like there are not many monks, only about a hundred, but in fact they are all elite and powerful, and Fa Yuan and Gong Chaoqun are equally matched. This person was caught off guard and responded to the challenge in a hurry. Under the all-out attack of the Demon Suppression Division, he was still able to withstand the attack and slowly retreated to the back of the temple.
If it weren't for the army's deployment of hundreds of archers for support, the Demon Suppression Division alone would not be able to clean out the thief temple's den. It's no wonder that Gong Chaoqun was basically unable to do anything in the past.
Yue Hongling found it difficult to understand why the monks of Bailian Temple were so strong.
The Maitreya Religion is not like the major sects and families that cultivate seeds from a young age, nor is it like the Demon Suppression Division that selects the world's pure martial arts masters to join the iron rice bowl.
Their "soldiers" were basically recruited from gangs and innocent people. Only some of them had their own martial arts skills. Most of them were poor farmers and fishermen, and they were already adults or even middle-aged. How did they manage to survive in such a short period of time? In a short period of time, all these sources of chaos have been trained to the point where they are all at level one or two, and the ones as high as six or seven. How do you train like this?
Are all of them Zhao Changhe?
And because of their teaching of "killing to become a Buddha", these monks are all extremely brave. They are all people who have killed people with blood on their hands, and are not honest farmers who have never fought with others.
There are countless Maitreya sects with this kind of power, spread all over the south of the Yangtze River. Once something happens, everything will turn upside down.
Not to mention the whole of Jiangnan, Yue Hongling doubted that if Fa Yuan was determined to run away, the crossbows from outside might not be able to stop him at the Bailian Temple.
“Huh!” Yue Hongling slashed the throat of a Maitreya cultist with a sword, then covered her shoulders and frowned slightly.
This injury does not affect the movement very much, but it is still a bit of a drag in actual combat, which is worse than expected.
Looking up, Fa Yuanzheng was leading a few core monks in the night, fighting and retreating back to the mountain under the attack of Gong Chaoqun and others.
It is late at night, and it is very easy to be run away once you enter the forest. Zhao Changhe has the most experience in this regard.
Can't let such a leader run away!
Yue Hongling gritted her teeth, endured the dull pain on her shoulder, stood up, and stabbed with her sword.
Fa Yuan is fighting against Gong Chaoqun. He knows that Gong Chaoqun is extremely difficult to fight, and he may not be able to win in a single fight, let alone when the opponent is so powerful and his own people are in chaos, there is basically no way to fight. But Fa Yuan is confident that he can escape. In the dark night, he only needs to look for an opportunity to drill into the mountains...
He stood up and wielded his sword. The dazzling light of the sword shrouded Gong Chaoqun's vital points, which was the start of the Maitreya Sect's secret skill, White Lotus, to purify the world.
Gong Chaoqun's center of gravity shifted slightly, and he held his sword and concentrated on alert.
He knew how powerful this sword was. Thousands of illusions were attacking at the same time. The lotus petals in the sky and on the earth were all swords. The spiritual platform must be stabilized to be able to withstand the illusion in order to deal with such a blow.
However, just as he took half a step back, the sword light suddenly disappeared, and Fa Yuan had already flown back. It was actually a false move!
"The Demon Suppressor is nothing more than that! Hahahaha...uh..."
A sword light struck under the moonlight, and under the full moon, Yue Hongling's figure descended like a moon palace, falling straight into the sky.
"Dang!" Fayuan fought hard with a knife, and his escape stopped. He shouted angrily: "Yue Hongling! Don't let me fall into my hands one day and have you kneel on the ground like a dog begging me..."
Before he finished speaking, an arrow shot through the sky like a rainbow, with a terrifying sharp roar, and went straight to his throat!
Fa Yuan didn't even have time to finish his words. He quickly turned around and the arrow grazed his shoulder, scraping off a large piece of flesh.
Yue Hongling had a slight smile on her lips and struck out with her sword again.
Behind him, Gong Chaoqun had already pierced Fa Yuan’s heart with his sword.
How can Fayuan withstand the three-party attack?
Blood spattered on his left shoulder and back at the same time. Fayuan stumbled to the side in great embarrassment, shouting angrily: "Maitreya came to the world and killed himself to become a Buddha!"
Following the words, the other high-level monks who were resisting the Demon Suppressor in the surrounding area muttered at the same time: "Maitreya came to the world, died and became a Buddha..."
“No birth mother, empty hometown…”
Just as Yue Hongling was about to give Fa Yuan a blow, she saw a monk with red eyes rushing toward her like a mad tiger.
Yue Hongling stabbed the opponent in the chest with her sword. She didn't want to entangle her but wanted to force her back. Unexpectedly, the monk refused to dodge and let the sword penetrate her chest and grabbed her sword blade with all her strength.
Crazy…
Yue Hongling drew her sword, but she couldn't pull it back for a while.
Looking around, all the monks were crazy.
This is simply not a fanatic believer anymore. Fanatic believers still know pain at least. They seem to have lost the sense of pain. This is the secret method that has deprived him of his reason and turned him into a beast that only sacrifices everything for his faith.
This is their vacuum hometown? It was indeed bliss because there was no pain. When people withdrew their weapons from these beasts, Fa Yuan had already taken advantage of the moment of confusion to escape into the mountains and forests without a trace.
Gong Chaoqun was so angry that he shouted: "Everyone is searching the mountain! He was seriously injured and can't hide his vitality. He can't run far!"
Yue Hongling held her shoulders weakly and took a few breaths. The shock of the sword that intercepted Fa Yuan just now was aggravated by the opponent's parry, which aggravated her injuries again. She had been pressing hard, but now she could no longer suppress it, and the wound began to burst. Blood gurgled out.
Remembering the timely support of the arrow just now, Yue Hongling felt some unspeakable emotions in her heart. She raised her head and looked into the temple, looking for Zhao Changhe.
Zhao Changhe did not come to participate in the siege, because he himself had a lot of opponents, and his main opponent was his old acquaintance, the goddess Nianhua.
When he was shooting the arrow, he had already restrained the flower-carrying goddess. He had just fired an arrow to support her, but before she had time to rush over, the situation suddenly changed and Fa Yuan had already left.
Zhao Changhe's dragon bird pressed down on the shoulders of Nian Hua Tiannu, forcing her to kneel on the ground helplessly. He sighed: "Fayuan said such cruel words to Yue Hongling, so you just kneel down on me... There is an injustice and a debtor, so why bother?" in this way?"
Yue Hongling, who was flying over to discuss with Zhao Changhe, paused slightly, looked at him with a complicated expression, and did not pass.
Actually, Zhao Changhe did have the intention to take revenge for Yue Hongling on the spot, but not entirely.
Because through previous interactions, he felt that the belief of this flower-wielding goddess was not so fanatical, and she would do some clever things to cover herself up before, and she was not so single-minded in dedicating herself to the sect. This pressure is also a test. If she is like other beasts who voluntarily die, they will not kneel down and will only commit suicide holding the dragon bird.
However, she knelt down, indicating that this was not some fanatical believer who had been brainwashed into fanaticism and devotion, and could be persuaded to surrender.
But I heard the Flower Goddess continue to say: "Our holy religion has always treated you well, and we want to absorb you into the religion. Why are you doing this..."
Zhao Changhe finally spoke: "Absorb? Become a believer? Are you going to die like these beasts?"
The Flower Goddess was startled, and whispered: "You can't do it... As a hidden dragon, you have unlimited potential. The teacher only wants to cultivate you, which is different."
"It's no different. I sent you to dress up as my wife to "preach" to me. Isn't it hiding the idea of secret control?"
The goddess holding the flowers said: "The degree is different...forget it, if the young master thinks so, I have nothing to argue with."
Zhao Changhe said: "It's not that I want to argue with you, but I think you are different from them. You have not been brainwashed into fools and lunatics, and you can communicate. Let me put it bluntly, Fa Yuan is not injured now. He may have escaped under Gong Chaoqun's siege. If we can't find him, it means there must be a secret cave or secret passage hidden in the mountains. I highly doubt that everyone is still searching in the mountains and the others are already several miles away."
The Flower Goddess’s eyes moved slightly, a little surprised.
Zhao Changhe said: "So I guessed it right? It's impossible that the Demon Sect's lair that has been run for so long does not have some secret cave or something like that. As long as you tell me where this secret passage is, I can make the decision to let you live. You can change your appearance and live somewhere else in the future, and don't mess with the Maitreya Cult anymore... Seeing what happened to these people, you really don't have any hesitation in doing it, and then go and die when something happens, I feel sorry for you just thinking about it."
The Flower Goddess was very surprised: "You... can torture me severely, or even treat me as harshly as Fa Yuan did to Yue Hongling, but why do you let me go and persuade me to be a good person?"
Zhao Changhe's old face was a little red again, and his voice was low: "You... once gave me a boost, hugged her, and gave her a nice sip."
The flower-carrying goddess' eyes widened, her frightened expression of being captured was almost gone, and she almost stopped laughing.
Zhao Changhe became angry: "Speak quickly, or I will really torture you!"
"You don't have to be like this." The flower-carrying goddess smiled and said, "Not only do I know where the secret passage is, I can even take you there now."
Zhao Changhe asked curiously: "So easy to talk to?"
"Because you are right, I don't want to end up like them in the future." The Flower Niannu smiled, and her voice became a little more charming: "And... you are very cute. The bloodthirsty Shura in people's hearts is actually Such a little brother... Besides, I am not a toilet person..."
"What does it have to do with me?" Zhao Changhe felt a little embarrassed and subconsciously looked around, but was shocked to find Yue Hongling standing not far away, listening.
Zhao Changhe: "...when did you come?"
"Just got here." Yue Hongling walked over expressionlessly, and kicked the flower goddess for some unknown reason: "Where is the secret cave? Tell me quickly."
Have you really just arrived?
Zhao Changhe tilted his head, pretending not to guess.
The goddess Nianhua smiled and said: "Actually, there are underground secret caves and secret passages in the temple, which are used for secret rituals and to lead to the back mountain for escape. You came suddenly, and they had no time to enter the secret passages in the temple, so they had time to retreat. Go to the back mountain. On the contrary, if he enters the secret passage from the back mountain, he will come out of the temple. If you focus on searching for the back mountain, he will actually run away from here. "
Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling looked at each other, and the slight embarrassment in their hearts was instantly thrown away.
The Flower Goddess added: "By the way, there are many restoration things down there, and the means of restoring the Holy Religion are far beyond your imagination. I suggest you not to give him a chance, but to do it as soon as possible."
