Chapter 174 Uprising
Zeng Jianqiu said nothing more, and together with Qi Sheng and Yu Fenghu, he quietly cut the ropes on his hands, but still held them in his hands. Lou He picked up the three people one by one and placed them in the corner. When he was sure that no one was looking at them, he reached into his arms, took out the pills and fed them to the three swordsmen.

Among the three, Yu Fenghu was the most seriously injured. His legs were amputated when he was hiding in the cave. Although his wounds have healed now, his legs have not yet grown back, so he walks slowly and inconveniently, making it difficult for him to take part in the battle.

Qi Sheng had only broken an arm, which was not a big deal for a swordsman, as he still had the strength to fight. Zeng Jianqiu was in the best condition, with only many shallow and deep wounds on his body. After taking the elixir Lou He found and practicing breathing exercises for a while, his injuries were mostly healed.

At this time, there was a flickering light outside the building, and the building was shaking slightly. Zhou Ruixin and Yu Shunzhen seemed to be engaged in a fierce fight. Listening to the occasional conversation between the two and watching the reactions of the True Form Sect monks in the building, it should be that Zhou Ruixin has gradually gained the upper hand.

At this moment, suddenly there was another more intense burst of light - Miao Yi and others on the upper floor all came forward, showing joy on their faces, and cheered. The disciples outside the building were in an uproar, and were no longer as calm as before.

Zhou Ruixin's original body was still standing on the railing on the rooftop, and the voice of the wandering Yin God came from afar: "Yu Shunzhen, things have come to this point. Considering the friendship between fellow disciples, I will give you another chance - in front of many disciples, as long as you admit the evil deeds you have done and give up your cultivation, I will spare your life and let you live out your life in Tianxin Sect."

After a while, Yu Shunzhen laughed bitterly: "Zhou Ruixin, you keep throwing dirty water on me, so I have no way to defend myself. But now that things have come to this, if you really care about the friendship between fellow disciples, then ask the Supreme Sect Master and Guiyin Zhenjun to judge my crime and punish me! Can you ask her to come out?!"

Zhou Ruixin's Yin spirit said coldly: "Master Jin is in meditation, so he doesn't need to care about your dirty deeds."

Yu Shunzhen laughed even louder: "Is it for meditation, or you can't invite him out? Such a big thing happened in the sect and we were attacked by foreign enemies, but you said that our sect's supreme master is too lazy to care?! Fine! You want to let all the disciples know, and I want to let all the disciples know too, that our sect's supreme master is actually-"

Another flash of light and several vibrations followed. Yu Shunzhen's voice was heard, but it sounded even weaker: "Hahaha! Good! In front of everyone, you are afraid that I will finish what I want to say, right? Listen, disciples of Tianxin Sect! I have no way to defend myself against the dirty water Zhou Ruixin threw at me, but naturally someone knows whether it is true or not. However, our sect's supreme leader Jin Zijiu had his true spirit suppressed and his divine weapon taken away by Zhou Ruixin! This is the great crime of betraying one's teacher and destroying one's ancestors! Zhou Ruixin, do you admit it?! If not, please invite the supreme leader out!"

Zhou Ruixin could no longer be heard talking, but the light outside the building shone more fiercely, as if he was determined to put Yu Shunzhen to death. Then there were several more cries of pain and screams, and Yu Shunzhen cried out in sorrow: "Changji, Xinxing!"

Then there were more voices, mixed together, but Lou He and Zeng Jianqiu could hear a few of them more clearly -

"Master, please explain!"

"Master, it's not too late to spare Elder Yu's life for now!"

"Master! Please invite the Grand Master out! The rumors will be refuted on their own!"

"..."

But just as these voices became louder, they were replaced by screams of agony!
Zhou Ruixin's hazy spirit returned to its original state. He took a deep breath, stood on the railing and looked down from above, shouting, "I've already said it! Anyone who pleads for Yu Shunzhen will be considered a traitor to the sect! This is what happened to those people just now - Tianxin Sect disciples, listen up, anyone who follows Yu Shunzhen will be killed without mercy!"

The Tianxin Sect was about to start a fight. Lou He immediately retracted his gaze and looked at Zeng Jianqiu, and found that the ropes that bound him, Qi Sheng, and Yu Fenghu had completely fallen to the ground. The three of them had already connected the sword lines and wrapped them around their wrists, ready to go.

He immediately shouted in a low voice: "Zeng! I said——"

Zeng Jianqiu hid his figure in the shadow of the screen and looked at him: "You said you would wait for Li Wuxiang. Senior Brother Lou, I don't know what you think is the right time, but now is the right time for me! You said that you want to let the thirty-six sects know what the consequences of surrendering to Xuanjiao are, right?"

"Yes!"

"Then Zhou Ruixin is fighting with Yu Shunzhen now. If we help Yu Shunzhen kill Zhou Ruixin, isn't that what you want? Yu Shunzhen has the highest cultivation level among Zhou Ruixin. If we watch him being killed by Zhou Ruixin, won't we have no chance of winning?"

Lou He shook his head: "It's not chaotic enough! Let's make it more chaotic!"

Zeng Jianqiu suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Lou He's shoulder: "Brother Lou, since when did you stop taking human life to heart?"

Lou He was stunned.

Zeng Jianqiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "If we follow your method, what's the difference between Jianzong and Xuanjiao? You may think that I am just being sentimental and not considering the overall situation, but I think if we look at the bigger picture - our people have been chased to the west, You Jiuyuan has been lost, but Tianxin Sect still has people like Yu Shunzhen and other disciples who will speak for us - is it because of how terrifying the Jianzong's power is, or because everyone in the world knows what kind of people we swordsmen are?"

Lou He was silent for a moment, then turned to stare at Miao Yi, turned his head back, and sighed: "Okay."

Zeng Jianqiu was about to move, but Lou He held him down: "Don't fight again, do you understand? You don't have to worry about me. If the situation gets bad, just retreat. I have my own way!"

Zeng Jianqiu squeezed the hand that grasped his shoulder: "I believe you."

“Okay. Miao Yi is a spiritual cultivator, I will deal with him. The three of you kill everyone else in the building, don’t leave any alive—if there are people rushing in from outside, don’t worry about it, but remember, don’t leave any alive in the building! But! Listen carefully, but! Don’t touch Miao Yi! I have a way to control his mind, so don’t touch him from now on!”

Zeng Jianqiu, Qi Sheng, and Yu Fenghu all had fierce gleams in their eyes: "Okay!"

Lou He immediately stood up, walked to Miao Yi, and whispered, "Zhen Shou, let me talk for a moment."

As he spoke, he looked outside the building—the disciples of Tianxin Sect were already fighting in a group, and the pavilions and towers were filled with shouts of killing and the mysterious light of magic. Just as he walked to Lou He's side, Zhou Ruixin's original body had already stretched out his body, his sleeves bulging, and rushed towards Yu Shunzhen who was standing on the top of a large roof.

Miao Yi didn't turn around, his breathing became a little faster, and he stared outside: "If you have anything to say, just say it here. Now is not the time to borrow a step." Lou He moved closer and lowered his voice: "Li Wuxiang is here, the guard should follow me quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave now."

Miao Yi reacted after a while and turned his head suddenly: "In——"

He squeezed out the next word from his throat: "Where?!"

Lou He slowly pointed upwards, and the sound of his voice seemed like air flow: "Up."

After saying this, he took two steps back and looked up again. Miao Yi no longer hesitated, and followed him with all his strength. Lou He's face was solemn, and he walked slowly towards the stairs. When Miao Yi followed him to the corner of the stairs, Lou He stopped and said, "Guardian, I have a treasure that may be able to capture Li Wuxiang's Yin Spirit. If we capture his Yin Spirit, we can ask Zhou Ruixin to take action."

Miao Yi was delighted at first, but then asked worriedly, "Are you sure? Why didn't you tell me before?"

Lou He sighed: "Because this thing is not easy to show to others. Zhenshou, look here——"

As he spoke, he untied his belt and opened his chest. Miao Yi immediately leaned forward with full concentration.

The entire person's head and upper body were immediately wrapped up!
Before Miao Yi even had time to feel anything else, he found that his entire upper body was stiff and numb, as if it was wrapped in a very thick layer of armor!

Before he had time to feel anything else, he knew that something was wrong!
Every True Form Sect monk must practice the skill of "Stone Embryo" from the beginning. This is to slowly absorb the mountain and earth energy between heaven and earth, nourish it in one's own flesh, and gradually integrate it with one's life. Generally, when one reaches the realm of Qi Refining, this skill is considered to be a minor success. When encountering a situation where death is inevitable, one can turn oneself into a stone embryo and save a life.

When it comes to refining the spirit, it is equivalent to having a second life - after using the stone fetus to save one's life for the first time, if the next blow is fatal, the whole person's body can be transformed into a stone fetus again. However, this time the stone fetus no longer consumes the mountain and earth energy that has been nurtured in the body for a long time, but a person's qi, blood and spirit.

At this point, this person can only live for another two quarters of an hour. However, under normal circumstances, these two quarters of an hour are enough to invite the true spirit of the Five Mountains True Form Emperor to make a final desperate struggle.

Now Miao Yi knew that he had just died - his mind was confused for a moment, and he didn't even know who had done it. Was it Li Wuxiang?
But when the stone shell on his body shattered and his flesh was exposed again, he realized that the person who had just tried to kill him was Lou He in front of him!
However, he didn't even know what means the other party used!
If he hits me again, I will die! As soon as this thought came to Miao Yi's mind, he immediately turned around and rushed up the stairs, shouting: "Help--"

The Five Mountains True Form Sect disciples upstairs turned around after hearing the sound and saw countless white silk ribbons bursting out from behind Miao Yi like a suddenly blooming Epiphyllum, wrapping him tightly in an instant, and then Miao Yi and these silk ribbons disappeared in an instant!
The realms of these True Form Sect monks were not as high as Miao Yi's, but since they were shouldering the duties of attendants, their reactions were countless times faster than his. Without even a second's hesitation, the seven of them immediately flew over.

But just as their figures passed over the sand table in the room, three sword lights suddenly shot out from behind the screen. In an instant, the bodies of the three True Form Sect monks fell heavily on the wooden floor and slid forward for a distance before the stone shells on their bodies were broken into pieces.

The other four monks immediately flew forward to protect the three people behind them, but three sword lights were emitted from the darkness, and in an instant a layer of stone shell appeared on the body surface of the three people in front, and then collapsed again - within two breaths, if it were not for the protection of the stone fetus, six people would have died!
The seventh monk shouted angrily: "Swordsman!"

He abandoned the remaining six companions and rushed behind the screen. Another sword light came, but he didn't even look at it, letting it pierce his head. At the moment when the stone body protected his body, he stretched out his arms and twisted them in the air, and suddenly wrapped his arms around the second sword line.

At this time, the stone body on his body also shattered, revealing his flesh body. The third sword light pierced into the back of his head again, and the man fell down and died.

But his life-threatening gamble bought time for his companions behind him. Six tablets were suspended in the air, and six monks chanted incantations quickly. Then the fifth floor of the entire Wenxin Pavilion made a rumbling sound and suddenly sank!
A heavy burden was placed on everyone except them. When the other two sword lights shot out from behind the screen, they only flew halfway before they swerved and fell to the ground.

The two True Form Sect monks tapped their fingers on the tablet again. A faint yellow light flashed, and the screen exploded with a bang, revealing three swordsmen behind it.

The four monks behind them drew their swords and threw them fiercely. Qi Sheng and Yu Fenghu were seriously injured, so it was not convenient for them to dodge, but Zeng Jianqiu roared, and blood light spread from the sword line to the flying sword, making the small sword shine brightly, almost turning the whole floor blood red!

This blood light suddenly rose up, and with a clang, it smashed the four long swords that were thrown at it into iron chips all over the sky. It then passed through the iron chips and blasted the head of a monk into a flower of blood. It then swung and pulled the sword line, cutting off the head of another monk next to it!
But the blood on the sword had already dissipated, and the remaining four True Form Sect monks immediately used their tablets to block his sword. The one behind him reached out and grabbed the flying sword.

With the energy infused into it, the flying sword was extremely sharp, and it immediately cut the flesh in the palm of his hand. But the monk simply inserted the flying sword into his metacarpal bone, stuck it firmly in the bone gap, and turned his body, letting the sword line cut into his flesh and tighten it, and shouted in pain: "Go and kill!"

The remaining three monks pushed their tablets again, and the top floor, which had already fallen to the fourth floor, sank half a floor further. Zeng Jianqiu, Qi Sheng, and Yu Fenghu seemed to have aged a lot in an instant - the flesh on their faces and bodies were pressed down by the huge force of this magical power, and even their lower eyelids were exposed, and they could no longer move. The monk who had entangled himself with the sword line also had the sword line severely pulled by the sudden force of the fall, and it broke into several pieces in an instant.

His blood splashed on the three monks, almost dyeing them red. The three men drew daggers from their waists, held the tablet in one hand and the knife in the other, strode towards the three swordsmen, and raised their hands to shoot into their heads.

But at this moment, they heard a loud shout: "Wait! Misunderstanding! They are our own people!"

The three of them were stunned for a moment, then turned to look - Miao Yi, the Deyang garrison commander they served, had climbed up the half-broken floor with his arms, and had propped up his upper body from the collapsed stairs. He looked extremely anxious, and shouted again: "Retreat! We are one people! Are you going to disobey orders? You have ruined the sect's plan!"

Then he turned to look at the three swordsmen: "Zeng! One of us!"

The six people were all stunned by his two words. Two breaths later, the three True Form Sect monks turned to look at the swordsman, hesitated for a while, and put down the tablets they were holding.

Three sword lights flew over, and the three men fell down with confusion and shock on their faces.
