Chapter 95: Conspiracy in the Woods

Chapter 95: Conspiracy in the Woods
To the north of Pingding City, there is a ten-mile bamboo forest with rustling leaves.

There is a semi-circle fence surrounding three wooden houses, creating a very quiet environment.

At this time, there were dark shadows among the bamboo forest, and birds circled in the sky for a long time, not daring to land and return to their nests.

The room is not big and is separated by a curtain.

There were four people sitting in the outer room. They were not loaches in a small pond, but heroes with reputations in the world.

Sima Da, the owner of Changjing Island.

Huang Boliu, leader of the Tianhe Gang.

There was also a middle-aged beggar with dishevelled hair and a dirty face, two green snakes coiled on his shoulders, a triangular head, and from time to time he uttered long letters. He sat alone in the corner, his eyes wandering on the pearl curtain.

Sitting at the table with Sima Da and Huang Boliu was a fat monk wearing a blood-red robe, with a bowl and a cymbal hanging from his waist, both made of pure copper. The edges of the cymbals were extremely sharp and emitted a cold glow.

The four people's eyes were focused on the bamboo curtain swaying in the wind.

The young man came out from behind the bamboo curtain, and in an instant, they vaguely saw three people sitting behind the curtain.

"Everyone, according to reliable information, Dongfang Bubai is not in Pingding Prefecture at this time."

"On Blackwood Cliff, there are only 300 Purple Cloud Guards under Yang Lianting and 200 palace warriors."

"The three city gates below the cliff are all loyal to our brothers. Yang Lianting is a waste. As long as we sneak up the cliff and destroy the Purple Cloud Guard, Chengde Hall will be under our control, and the entire Sun Moon Divine Sect will obey Miss Ren's orders."

"By then, even if Dongfang Bubai had three heads and six arms, facing tens of thousands of followers, he would be helpless!"

The young man spoke passionately, but the four people sitting there didn't even raise their eyelids. They were all experienced gangsters, not young men. They were so eager to risk their entire fortunes and lives after being instigated by a few words.

"Four seniors, my name is Luo Shuan, but I am a nobody. But my father was the elder of Suzaku Hall. Perhaps some of you still remember that he was killed by that bastard Tong Baixiong to establish his authority just because he questioned the legitimacy of Dongfang Bubai's accession to the throne and the mysterious disappearance of Ren Jiaozhu."

"You are all outstanding people, gang leaders and island masters who dominate a region. When you were the leader, you formed a pact with the Divine Religion. The leader regarded you as brothers."

"But what about now? Dongfang Bubai forced me to take the Three Corpses Brain Pill, and my life and death are controlled by others. On the Black Wood Cliff, I let Yang Lianting, that bastard, order me around, and I am at his mercy like a slave."

"Are the four seniors really willing to do this?"

Luo Anshu is now a young incense master affiliated with Feifeng Hall and is in charge of the Luoyang branch. He is a loyal supporter of Miss Ren.

Seeing that the three of them were silent, the middle-aged beggar who was playing with snakes in the corner sneered. He ignored Luo Shuan who was spitting all over the place and looked directly at the bamboo curtain: "I am an old beggar who is vulgar and uneducated. My words are not pleasant to hear. If I have offended you, please forgive me, Saint Aunt. Just treat it as an old beggar farting."

A beautiful female voice came from behind the bamboo curtain. Although it was still a little childish, it contained the bearing of a superior.

"But you can say it, and the speaker is not guilty."

"Well, the old beggar started talking."

"Even if Dongfang...he is not on the Blackwood Cliff right now, how can Saint Aunt be sure that the antidote to the Three Corpses Brain Pill is hidden in Chengde Hall? What if he takes it down the mountain with him? Wouldn't we be empty-handed?"

Yan Sanxing's nickname in the martial arts world is 'The Evil Beggar with Two Snakes'. He has a bad reputation, but he still doesn't dare to mention the name of Dongfang Bubai easily.

"After we capture Blackwood Cliff, if we don't get the antidote, the Dragon Boat Festival will come, and we will be in a state of suffering. My life is worthless, but my disciples will also be implicated, and I can't bear it."

He was a disciple of the Beggars' Gang in his early years, but was expelled from the gang due to bad conduct. After that, he still engaged in the ancient profession of begging, but he completely let himself go, gathered a group of evil men and women, and under the guise of begging, they cheated and did all kinds of evil.

Monk Xibao, who was sitting at the table, also laughed and said, "In theory, based on our friendship with Master Ren and the care of Saint Aunt over the past few years, as long as Saint Aunt gives an order, we old guys will naturally follow him through life and death. But like the old beggar said, if we can't find the antidote for the Three Corpses Brain God, once Master Dongfang comes back, he won't have to do anything, as those masters in the sect who have taken the drug will defect to him. Our death is a small matter, but if we delay Saint Aunt's plan, Amitabha, that would be a sin."

Their meaning was very clear. It was easy to take advantage of the emptiness of the Black Wood Cliff and break into the Chengde Hall. However, how to remove the control of the Three Corpses' Brain Pill was the key to whether they could overthrow Dongfang Bubai and control the Sun Moon Sect.

"I understand your intentions."

"Doctor Ping, can you tell us about this?"

When they heard the word "Doctor Ping", the four people sitting outside immediately showed surprise on their faces, which was completely different from their attitude towards Luo Shuan. Even the unruly beggar with two snakes couldn't help but look sideways.

Sima Da even stood up and bowed to the bamboo curtain, saying, "But is it the 'famous doctor who kills people' Ping Yizhiping who is in front of us?"

"Boss Sima, I came to Kaifeng Prefecture three years ago to seek medical treatment for your son. Is the pill I prescribed still effective?"

The voice came from behind the bamboo curtain, a little hoarse.

"It worked, it worked. Half a year later, my son was already well again. Later, I took my family to Kaifeng to express my gratitude, but I heard that Doctor Ping had left and was traveling around the world."

Sima was overjoyed. Ping Yizhi was the best doctor in the Sun Moon Sect. In terms of medical skills alone, no one in the whole world could match him.

Huang Boliu smiled and said, "It's really Doctor Ping! If Doctor Ping is willing to help, we will be saved."

The voice behind the bamboo curtain continued, "When Dongfang Sect Leader refined the 'Three Corpses Brain Pill', there were a total of thirty-six steps. I assisted on the first eighteen steps, but the last eighteen were completed by Sect Leader Dongfang alone in the medicine room." "As long as that medicine room still exists, there must be clues left behind. Give me some time, and I can deduce the last eighteen steps."

This statement is a bit exaggerated, but coming from the mouth of Ping Yizhi, the "famous doctor who kills people", it seems so natural.

Monk Xibao smiled and said, "With Doctor Ping here, I have nothing to worry about. It's okay for the Eastern Sect Leader, but we have been bullied by that jerk grandson Yang Lianting for many years. If this is successful, I will spank Yang's butt with my sword 100 times."

The Twin Snakes Evil Beggar sneered, "The last time I went to Blackwood Cliff, I was punished to kneel in front of the Chengde Hall for three hours because I smelled bad. This bastard is very evil, we can't let him off easily."

Sima Da and Huang Boliu looked at each other, nodded slightly, and thought it was feasible.

The four of them did not completely believe Ping Yizhi's words, but when they thought that even the famous doctor who had a high status in the sect had betrayed Dongfang Bubai, they could not help but guess that the strength of this Miss Ren was really unfathomable. If Dongfang Bubai was not in Heimu Cliff, he could easily deal with Yang Lianting alone.

The four were just about to discuss their next move when they heard the sound of weapons clashing in the woods. Shouts and cries of killing were gradually approaching, and from time to time they could hear a loud bang, like thunder falling from the sky, in the bamboo forest.

At the same time, a man covered in blood rushed into the bamboo house with a look of fear.

"Master Luo Xiang, the Purple Cloud Guards are coming to kill us. They...don't care about their lives. The brothers from each family can't resist them at all."

Luo Shuan's expression changed drastically. He looked at the bamboo curtain and the four people in the hall and said, "You go first. I'll lead the others to hold them off."

In the bamboo forest, Luo Shuan and the four others brought disciples, at least two hundred in total, all of whom were elite disciples. However, in front of the Purple Cloud Guards, they were completely defeated and had no power to resist. They didn't even have time to buy Ren Yingying, Sima Da and the others time to leave calmly.

The entire Purple Cloud Guard only has about 300 people.

"The Purple Cloud Guards are arresting the apostates and traitors. Anyone who resists will be punished by the three clans!"

After leaving the bamboo house, Luo Shuan saw that his troops were in disarray, and there was a faint movement of purple-robed figures in the surrounding bamboo forest.

The male and female beggars under the Twin Snakes were killed so badly that they cried for their parents and fled everywhere.

The troops under Sima Da and Huang Boliu were still struggling to resist.

Those Purple Cloud Guards were well-trained and had good teamwork. Their martial arts skills were not particularly high, but they had one thing in common: they were fearless and unafraid of death.

Sima Da had a man under his command who was very brave and wielded a harpoon made of pure steel with great vigor.

A Ziyun Guard seized the opportunity, rushed to him, thrust out the steel knife in his hand, and stabbed the man in the abdomen. He twisted his body violently a few times, completely ignoring the iron fork that was smashing down on his head.

The next moment, the Ziyun Guard's head split open like a watermelon, and red juice burst out on the spot, and the two of them fell together in the woods.

This attitude of treating life and death as if it were drinking tea or eating was obviously frightening even to Luo Shuan's elite disciples.

Luo Shuan didn't have time to think, he drew out his long sword with a clang, and ran out of the courtyard gate with flying toes, confronting the two Ziyun guards who were in the front.

He inherited the family's sword skills since he was young. In less than twenty rounds, he cut off the arm of the man holding the weapon on the left with one sword. With the flash of the sword, he chopped down another Ziyun Guard to the ground, but he was unharmed.

"Damn Purple Cloud Guards, nothing more than that!"

Luo Shuan just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly heard a strange chanting sound.

"What joy is there in life, and what sorrow is there in death. With my remaining body, I will build a divine religion."

The injured Ziyun Guard threw away the fire starter in his hand and showed the bundle of explosives tied to his body.

He pounced towards Luo Shuan with a grim smile.

Luo Shuan couldn't dodge in time and was held tightly by his hands on his legs, with sparks sizzling from the fuse.

"Go away!"

"madman."

A look of fear appeared on Luo Shuan's face, and he quickly swung his long knife and chopped at the arms that were holding his legs. In his panic, he cut a deep wound on his leg before he could swing the knife a second time.

With a loud bang, fire and smoke exploded in all directions, and blood rained from the sky.

The Purple Cloud Guard had disappeared, or rather, was everywhere.

Luo Shuan was lucky, as he still had half of his body left. More and more people in purple robes stepped over him. He used up his last bit of strength, turned around and looked towards the bamboo forest.

I hope that by buying time, the Saint Lady can escape.

As long as you are not afraid of being caught on the spot, there is still room for maneuver.
