Chapter 72: Taking the Road to Quell the Mountain

  Sorry everyone, something unexpected came up and today's update is late...

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  Liang Xin is now full of bitter water, even if he wants to follow Gao Jian's instructions and reveal the hidden facts about the three brothers' resistance against Nanyang in Sunei Mountain, which led to a feud with Donghai Qian. Now, no one listens to him anyway. Helplessly, Liang Xin can only ask Xiao Quan again: "Is there any special news from the commander's side? It's not enough to just rely on the clues I have in my hands to reverse the case!"

  Xiao Hai's face flashed a hint of impatience, but ultimately nodded slightly: "The adults have already investigated, Liu Yi and Qu Qing Shi, respectively escorted by two national masters, and there are also high-ranking officials from the imperial palace following along. The two teams should have merged into one place and are rushing to Zhen Shan Hao Dang Tai."

  The two sworn brothers were neither taken to Kyoto nor sent to the eastern sea, but were captured and taken to a town in the interior.

  Zhen Mountain is not particularly steep or majestic, nor does it have much spiritual energy surrounding it. However, its location is not far from the capital and sits right in the center of the Central Plains. In the early days of the Hong dynasty, Emperor Taizu built a grand platform on Zhen Mountain to signify the prosperity of the great nation and eternal peace under heaven. Whenever there were important ceremonies, the emperor would personally visit Zhen Mountain's Grand Platform to worship heaven, and over time it became a place for worshipping gods and thanking heaven, as well as a symbol of the imperial family's respect for immortals and Taoist masters.

  Donghai Qian and the imperial court had previously agreed to jointly try the criminals at Haodangtai.

  Liang Xin finally got some useful information, and his heart slightly relaxed. Since it was a joint trial, during this period of time, the lives of the two sworn brothers were safe.

  At this time, Xiao Qu suddenly turned around and looked at Liang Xin coldly, saying: "You'd better have a bottom line for my strength, so as not to make it difficult to cooperate." As he spoke, he pointed to the corpse of Hai Tang, which was already indistinguishable from blood and flesh mush, and continued: "Even if I exert myself to the extreme, I can only end up with him in mutual destruction."

  Liang Xin originally didn't expect much from her, but after hearing this, she was indeed shocked and asked in surprise: "You can actually fight Sea Slant to a draw?" Sea Slant had already entered the Mystic Realm, and even among cultivators of the True Way, she could be ranked among the top experts.

  Xiao Hai shook her head and replied expressionlessly: "It's not a draw, it's mutual destruction."

  Liang Xin didn't ask any more questions. The girl was crystal clear, but when she spoke, it was too laborious. She jumped onto the slide and waved her hand loudly, saying: "Departure, take the... Town Mountain path!"

  Mo Ya and Huang Gua each responded with a sound, slapping themselves with talismans, and carrying the sliding pole they set off. The two of them had followed Gao Jian for a long time and naturally also learned the art of talisman-making.

  A group of young men in green clothes also mounted their horses and followed. Xiaotai also chose a war horse for himself, his sleeves fluttering as he trailed behind the crowd at a distance of three arrows, refusing to mix with the troops.

  Two young men were dragging a sled, keeping their speed at the same level as the crowd, with Huang Gua in front. After running for a while, he couldn't help but turn his head and ask Liang Xin: "Third brother, why are we chasing after them? Are we going to rob prisoners?"

  Liang Xin shook his head, he was also muddled now, didn't think much, just sighed and said: "Let's rush over first and see if there's any chance!" After finishing speaking, he held his breath, concentrated his mind, and started to cultivate his internal energy to heal his wounds.

  The vast expanse of the Central Plains, from northwest Ningzhou to the inland town of Zhen Mountain, is a total distance of 4,700 miles. At their current pace, even if they rush with all their might, it will take them about twenty days. Liang Xin originally wanted to return to Da Si Wu within ten days, but now he can't care about that anymore, and can only pray in his heart for the heavens to have mercy and bless Da Si Wu to save Qing Mo.

  The slide was originally an extraordinary treasure, and under full force, it could travel thousands of miles a day. However, it required Gao Jian to personally take charge, and the fire control of Huang Gua's and Mo Ya's talismanic techniques was not enough, so at most, they could only bring out 30% of the slide's speed, which was roughly comparable to Qing Yi's fast horse.

  A group of people set out on their journey, with two little children carrying a stretcher in the front, followed by more than twenty green-clad men who looked like tigers and wolves, and finally, there was a white-clothed girl who was as cold as ice and frost, attracting attention wherever they passed...

  Li Qian didn't care about that, focusing on cultivating his skills to heal his injuries. As before, as soon as he moved his origin, the Seven Corpse Starsoul immediately sprang into action, as if it wouldn't rest until it had led his origin astray.

  Before they knew it, the day had passed and at night, under Qing Yi's lead, they entered the specially set up relay station in Jiulong to rest. Xiao Xi refused to enter the relay station and rested outside by herself.

  Two young boys ran for a day, pouting and constantly complaining. At this time, Liang Xin hugged the sheep's horn crisp, smiled and asked: "Before, Gao Ye praised me, saying that your brothers' fist and footwork are also quite good."

  Cucumber grinned, swinging his small arm like a flail, and said: "This isn't just us bragging, don't look at how young my brother and I are, ordinary martial artists can't get close to us, four or five of them wouldn't be able to withstand it." As he spoke, without waiting for Liang Xin to ask again, he jumped up and performed a set of Iron Wire Fist, his fists and feet whirring about, creating gusts of wind everywhere, indeed with some impressive moves.

  The grinding tooth from the side looked itchy, also laughed and jumped out: "Cucumber, come and let brother beat you up!" The two dolls exchanged moves and started a big fight in the room, with loud punching and kicking sounds.

  These two kids were quick and cunning with their fists, to say they could take on three or five strong men might be an exaggeration, but one or two adults would truly have a hard time subduing them. Liang Xin was watching from the side, just about to praise them, when suddenly he felt a chill run down his spine, and a fierce killing intent spread out before his eyes!

  Liang Xin was shocked, but before he could utter a word of warning, a shrill whistling sound pierced the night sky, and all he heard was a deafening boom, as the entire relay station exploded into pieces!

  A white figure, with the newly risen moon behind him, seemed to be a celestial being flying down from the sky. He flew towards the two children who were already frightened out of their wits! Liang Xin was shocked and angry, shouting loudly as he stood in front of the two boys, ignoring his own serious injuries, and reached out to meet the enemy.

  Following Liang Xin, he only felt a chill in his hand. At the moment of impact with the opponent, the force suddenly disappeared, and the white dress fluttered, standing quietly in front of him.

  It wasn't until then that Liang Xin realized that the one who had launched a surprise attack was Xiao Yu.

  Xiao Sai frowned, glanced at Liang Xin and the two children, and said coldly: "Not sleeping in the middle of the night, making a racket with your fists and feet, is that interesting?" As she spoke, she pulled her right hand out of Liang Xin's palm. Her left hand remained hidden in her sleeve.

  Cucumber and Molar hugged each other tightly, tears swirling in their eye sockets, their lips trembling for half a day without being able to utter a single word.

  Liang Xin's frightened soul had just calmed down a bit, and he pointed to the sheep horn crisp beside him: "Originally, I asked two children to try the little monkey's saliva..." As he spoke, he looked around and saw that the entire station had already collapsed. He stomped his foot and bitterly laughed, saying: "Even if there really was danger, you didn't have to blow up the whole house, did you?!"

  Xiao Sai heard this and looked puzzled, giving Xiao Houzi a confused glance. Liang Xin picked up the lamb-shaped cookie from beside him, explained the reaction caused by spitting it out twice with his mouth after taking it in, and then put it back.

  Two children, upon hearing this, became excited and didn't mind the dirtiness. They gathered around Liang Xin's side, jumping up and down to sign up. They insisted that Little Monkey must give them a kiss on the mouth, and Huang Gua rummaged through his own luggage and pulled out a cucumber to give to Yangjiao Cui.

  The goat horn was delighted, took over the cucumber, pouted and spat out a mouthful of water towards the grinding teeth...

  The grinding of teeth was accompanied by a loud shout, just as Liang Xin had predicted. The small face immediately turned ferocious, and from the depths of his throat, he let out a roar, raising his hand to deliver a powerful blow to the cucumber beside him.

  Cucumber reacted extremely quickly, both hands were raised, and just as he was about to kick back like usual, a huge force surged onto his arm, with a strength that was several times greater than the grinding of teeth. He let out a cry of surprise and fell backwards in all directions.

  His eyes were bloodshot and his face was red with rage, he panted heavily, after punching the cucumber into the air, his fists danced wildly in a ball, whoever appeared in front of him would be punched.

  Liang Xin immediately rushed up and took over the chaotic beating from Mò Yá. After a while, Mò Yá regained his senses and sat down on the ground with a thud. He felt his hands and feet were sore and weak, as if most of his strength had been consumed. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall what had just happened. His last memory was of the monkey swinging a cucumber and hitting him in the mouth...

  Even Xiao Quan was surprised and looked at Liang Xin, asking: "This monkey... what breed is it?"
