Chapter 21
Tiedan Divine Lord, Is He That Powerful?
The Ten Great Sects besieged Brightness Peak, and many Ming Cult experts were in critical danger. If not for Dongfang Bubai's assistance, they might have been annihilated. But because of the Yi Tian Sword and Zhao Min, the siege abruptly shifted targets halfway through.
This unexpected development truly made countless netizens widen their eyes in shock.
But because of this, everyone was even more expectant of what would happen next.
As a result, Ma-laoshi suddenly pulled a stunt that left everyone seeing nothing, which was very frustrating.
Fortunately, the audience didn't have to wait too long.
Because... in the Brightness Peak secret passage, Xiao Tuan Tuan, the old lady, and Ji Qingyin finally made it out!
The exit of the secret passage wasn't actually too far from Brightness Peak, located halfway up Zuowang Peak.
"What... is the situation here?"
Looking at the corpses around them, the gruesome scene made the girls unable to look directly, and even Zhang Wuji couldn't help but turn his head away.
In contrast, Xiao Zhao appeared the most calm. The chains on her hands and feet clinked as she even approached several corpses to examine them.
"It seems the orthodox path has already charged up. Should we go down the mountain now or?"
Xiao Zhao asked for Zhang Wuji's opinion.
"I want to find my father!"
"I also want to find my grandfather."
Yin Li had woken up by now but didn't want to go down the mountain immediately.
Through the accounts of Xiao Tuan Tuan's group, she knew of Yin Tianzheng's actions after she was struck by the sword.
It was rare to have a relative protect her like that; how could Yin Li only care for herself and run away?
"Then let's go back and see. Ladies, please help me take care of Zhu Er."
Although Yin Li had woken up, her face was still very weak. Zhang Wuji entrusted this task to Xiao Tuan Tuan and the others.
"Don't worry, we guarantee she won't lose a single hair!"
Innocent Xiao Bi Er patted her chest in assurance.
Previously, because of one of their moves, Yin Li had actually run to take a sword for Yin Tianzheng.
They had worked hard to save her, and now that the storm had subsided a bit, they had to take good care of her!
On Brightness Peak, the situation could be said to change in the blink of an eye.
When Xiao Tuan Tuan, Zhang Wuji, and the others arrived at the spot where the orthodox sects and the Ming Cult were in a standoff on Zuowang Peak, the situation had undergone a massive change.
Song Yuanqiao had been immobilized by acupoint pressure and handed over to Zhao Min's subordinates for guarding. But at this moment, Wudang was no longer the focus of the entire field.
The Ming Cult had completely shifted from the lead role to being part of the spectating crowd.
At some point, five more people had appeared.
Leading them was a middle-aged man with a righteous face and a resolute, majestic appearance.
He wore a black python robe, and the aura of a high-ranking official emanated strongly from him.
Behind him were three men and one woman, each with a unique appearance.
One held a longsword, another a long saber. The girl held a folding fan.
The last person held no weapon, but his attire and aura were somewhat out of place compared to the others.
He was dressed sloppily, even a bit dirty, with the face of a street thug.
Currently, these five people were in a standoff with Zhao Min's group.
"Princess Zhao Min has come from afar; my Great Ming should have entertained you properly."
"But the Princess has secretly pushed the Great Ming's orthodox path to besiege Brightness Peak, intending to deplete the internal strength of my Great Ming's martial forest. This Lord cannot sit idly by."
The majestic and heroic middle-aged man spoke with powerful words, his entire body radiating a steely righteousness.
But Zhao Min remained composed, stroking the Yi Tian Sword in her hand without fear.
"The one who initiated the siege of Brightness Peak was Miejue Shaitai of the Emei Sect. According to the Divine Lord's words, has Miejue Shaitai surrendered to my Great Yuan?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Miejue Shaitai, who was healing from the Xuanming Divine Palm, ignored her injuries.
"Witch, do not speak nonsense! The siege of Brightness Peak was only because the demonic path was rampant. I, Miejue, work openly and honorably! How could it be related to your Mongol Yuan!"
For a character like Miejue Shaitai, death was not scary.
But her reputation could not be ruined!
"Has the Lord heard clearly? Miejue Shaitai's siege of Brightness Peak has no connection to my Great Yuan."
Zhao Min smiled slightly, completely ignoring Miejue Shaitai's resentful gaze, and even used the Yi Tian Sword in her hand to perform a beautiful sword flourish.
"Miejue Shaitai may not be involved, but there is an internal spy from your Mongol Yuan within the Emei Sect who incited her."
"Furthermore, you have secretly pushed the Beggar Gang, Shaolin, Tianlong, and other sects from behind."
The middle-aged man's words caused the orthodox disciples to look at each other.
Zhao Min finally stopped smiling: "Is the Divine Lord so certain? Is there evidence?"
"This Lord has personally come to Brightness Peak today; naturally, there is evidence."
"Oh? Then where is the evidence?"
The majestic middle-aged man's face didn't flush, his breath didn't quicken, and his tone was natural.
"I invite the Princess to come with this Lord to the Great Ming imperial city; there, you will naturally see it."
Zhao Min's face turned cold.
"As expected of Tiedan Divine Lord Chu Wu Shi, truly overbearing."
She gently waved her hand.
The Xuanming Elders, Ah Da, Ah Er, Ah San, and a scarred-faced, long-haired brute stood in front to block him. Tiedan Divine Lord remained unfazed: "Although Princess Zhao Min's subordinates are talented, they still cannot stop this Lord."
As soon as he finished speaking, the four people behind Tiedan Divine Lord took action. The first to rush out wore tight-fitting black clothes, moving cleanly and decisively.
The longsword in his hand was like a toy, dancing like an antelope hanging its horns—natural and effortless. Only flashes of sword light could be seen.
When the sword light faded, the longsword had pierced Ah Da, Zhao Min's subordinate.
Zhao Min's expression changed slightly: "I have long heard that under the Divine Lord are the Four Great Secret Agents—Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow—each with high martial arts. Seeing you today, you indeed live up to your reputation."
"If I'm not mistaken, this is Heaven Number One, Duan Tianya."
As soon as Zhao Min finished speaking, her expression changed again.
Ah Er, her subordinate, had been enveloped by countless saber Qi, and his body exploded! Amidst a pool of blood, only a cold saber-wielder remained, slowly sheathing his blade.
"Earth Number One, Guihai Yidao."
Zhao Min gritted her teeth, speaking the man's name.
"The Princess's subordinates are brave, but unfortunately, they lack a bit of flexibility."
"That's right, I am Black Number One, Shangguan Haitang."
A gentle female voice arrived, causing Zhao Min to look back. Ah San had also been defeated.
However, compared to Ah Da and Ah Er, his luck was better; he was only immobilized by acupoint pressure. Before him, a gentle yet heroic woman in a white dress was smiling. Zhao Min gritted her teeth.
In just one exchange, her three subordinates—Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San—had all been defeated! Especially Ah Da and Ah Er, who had lost their lives!
"I am Yellow Number One, Cheng Shifei. Among the four great secret agents, I am the most powerful."
The speaker had turned into a little golden man, with skin of bronze and bones of iron—this appearance was identical to Master Fang Zheng from before. Before him, the scarred-faced monk could only retreat repeatedly.
"Vajra Unbreakable Divine Art!"
Zhao Min's expression immediately tightened: "Master Ku, be careful!"
"The Princess should worry about herself first."
Chu Wu Shi had approached Zhao Min.
The Xuanming Elders simultaneously launched palms, and Chu Wu Shi also casually struck out a palm. Vast True Qi surged, and the wind and clouds changed color!
The two were simultaneously sent flying.
These newly appeared characters had such high martial arts.
In less than half a cup of tea's time, Zhao Min's subordinates had all been defeated.
In an instant, the countless netizens who had just flooded into Xiao Tuan Tuan and the girls' livestream exploded!
