Chapter 63 Spiders and Centipedes
For the sake of his own career, Wan Tong was very dedicated. Not to mention that he and Cao Jinxing had no direct grudges, even if they did, they would have to work together now.
The rest will come later.
The same was true for Qingming and Baidu. Not for Yan Shaoting, but for Yan Shifan, they also had to fully assist the government troops in suppressing the rebellion in order to build roads and obtain wood.
After a while, twenty elite soldiers arrived.
All of them are the best among the two camps of officers and soldiers!
Everyone was on full alert and lined up on the side.
A murderous aura rose straight into the sky.
Cao Jinxing stood at the front with a sword and a saber, looking around. He saw the local generals, chieftain superiors, official army commanders, Jinyiwei, and Five Poison disciples. They had different identities and positions, and different thoughts, but they all had the same goal.
Everyone looked at Cao Jinxing.
"There are three targets: Wu Mengshan, Feng Wushi, and Long Xichuan. Kill the first two and capture the third! This time, we must hit the target with one strike!"
Cao Jinxing waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
Everyone jumped on their horses and rushed out of the Jueziping camp!
But the sound was like thunder, the men were like tigers, the horses were like dragons, and the thirty riders rolled towards Laer Mountain like a hurricane. Their momentum was as strong as that of thousands of troops!
A moment.
Thirty riders have arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Cao Jinxing pulled the reins and looked up.
Laer Mountain is high and densely forested with ancient trees towering into the sky, but at this moment, there are strange green poisonous miasma like clouds and fog floating in the air at the foot of the mountain, stretching for dozens of miles.
This is the poisonous miasma.
Ordinary people will be hurt if they touch it!
Everyone dismounted.
Cao Jinxing turned around and said, "Mr. Wen, thank you for your help."
"You are too polite, sir."
Wen Yulin strode forward, came to the front, raised one hand high, and suddenly a dark gas floated out from his palm, turned into a column of smoke, and soared into the sky!
Lu Jiaming at the back was amazed and whispered, "It is said that in the Five Poison Sect, controlling insects with sound waves is only an inferior method. The real superior method of controlling insects is to release unique internal force to attract thousands of insects to gather! This Mr. Wen must be a true disciple of the Five Poison Sect, and his status in the sect is not low."
"certainly."
Gu Yanzhu said: "Most people don't have the capital to dare to say the four words 'clean up the house' to the Left Protector. He may be one of the Five Envoys. This is just the tip of the iceberg."
Buzz buzz buzz!
Suddenly, all kinds of poisonous bees and butterflies gathered from all directions. In the blink of an eye, they covered the sky and were countless.
Wen Yulin took out the bottle of purple potion, uncorked it, and poured it into the sky!
There was a loud buzzing sound.
All the poisonous insects rushed towards the potion and were contaminated by the water vapor.
Before the water line hit the ground, countless poisonous insects had been killed! Every poisonous insect began to emit a faint purple fluorescence.
Wen Yulin raised his hands in the air and suddenly swung them down!
All the poisonous insects obeyed orders like fierce soldiers on the battlefield, turning into a black whirlwind and rushing towards the poisonous miasma!
The poisonous miasma was tangible and intangible, and could not be dispersed. But at this moment, wherever the black wind passed, all the poisonous miasma disappeared, revealing the true appearance of Laer Mountain!
Poisonous insects clear the way.
The poisonous miasma dissipated!
Everyone looked delighted.
The moves of a master are different. Compared with the chaotic insect-controlling competition between Peng Zongshun and Long Xichuan in the morning, his technique has the artistic beauty of splashing ink with a brush!
"Mr. Wen has great means!"
Cao Jinxing praised it.
"It's just a side trick."
Wen Yulin smiled modestly, then spread out his palm, revealing a dragonfly-like insect in it. He said, "This is the [Flowing Traces] insect. It has eaten the blood of the old thief Wu Mengshan, and can sense his blood and find him."
Everyone was startled and prepared for battle.
The real show is coming!
Cao Jinxing nodded.
Wen Yulin released the poisonous insect, [Liuzong Gu], which was extremely fast. Its four transparent wings flapped lightly, and it rushed straight to the top of the mountain like a green lightning!
"Get started!"
Cao Jinxing gave a low shout and the others responded immediately, Heifeng was in front, Liuzong Gu was behind, and behind them were thirty masters!
Everyone hurry up the mountain!
…
at the same time.
In the largest courtyard of the Miao village on the mountainside, several leaders of the rebel army were discussing matters with Long Xichuan.
As the leader of the Miao people in Tongren Prefecture and the flag-raiser of this uprising, Long Xichuan held an extraordinary status.
"The troops from Yongshun have already joined forces, and those from Chenzhou and Tuozhou are also on the way, but I'm afraid those corrupt officials will still try to stop us." A man in a coarse Miao shirt said in a rough voice.
“Don’t be afraid!”
Another short and capable young man said excitedly: "Brother Long has asked the big figures of the Five Immortals Sect for help. At worst, we can just set up another ambush... It's a pity that only one guard died this morning."
"It's still early."
Another old man who was smoking a pipe tapped his pipe and said, "There is water and food in the mountains. They dare not set fire to the mountains. This battle can only be fought, but..."
The old man looked at Long Xichuan hesitantly: "Xichuan, the guardians of the Five Immortals Sect are such important figures, how did you convince them? And those two living dead, they..."
" Uncle Depan."
Long Xichuan interrupted him, looked at him and said, "The Han people have a saying: If you want to accomplish great things, you can kill even your closest relatives!"
“…”
Everyone was startled.
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone's heart, and everyone's face turned solemn.
"The court and the officials won't give us a way out, so we must earn a living for ourselves!"
Long Xichuan said: "The government army is powerful, everyone has seen it. The two battalions of 5,000 people are just the vanguard. The follow-up troops are endless. If there is no surprise force, we will be trapped in Laer Mountain! We can only take risky measures..."
Everyone was silent.
Long Xichuan comforted him, "The protector didn't ask for much. He just wanted to borrow a few masters temporarily. He promised to help them recover afterwards. So, there's no need to let people from other states know about this... For the ultimate success, this is just a necessary sacrifice."
Still silent.
"so……"
The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Wu Laoge, the leader of Yongshun, was killed by you under the pretext of healing his wounds... Alas..."
He let out a long sigh.
Long Xichuan picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, then said indifferently: "We need Yongshun's troops, but... we don't need the seriously injured Wu Laoge. He is at a very high level and is a very good material... Let's just let him recuperate for a while..."
The courtyard was quiet.
The atmosphere became increasingly depressing.
If those present here were not friends and relatives of Long Xichuan, they would probably be frightened by his actions!
But it’s not incomprehensible…
In order to succeed, you have to do whatever it takes...
suddenly.
"Oh no!"
A Miao soldier rushed into the courtyard in a hurry: "The poisonous miasma, the poisonous miasma is gone!"
"What!"
Everyone stood up suddenly!
Long Xichuan's face changed drastically: "Master Feng Wu said that only people from the Five Immortals Sect can cure this miasma... Could it be that they are here? Oh no! Tell everyone to be on guard! I'll go find them now!"
He turned quickly and rushed into the secret room in the back hall.
The rest of the people looked at each other in bewilderment, knowing that disaster was imminent. They did not care about anything else and quickly dispersed, each leading their own troops to be on alert.
boom!
Long Xichuan pushed open the door and shouted, "Master Feng Wu, the Five Immortals..."
"No need to shout."
A Miao youth in his thirties stood in the room, followed by the two bronze corpse puppets. He said calmly, "I already know..."
His voice is exactly the same as the one in Windless Valley!
Long Xichuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He Xiangyun, the Wind Centipede Master, looked outside the door: "The breath of the Blood Weaving Spider... Wen Yulin, is it you who came? Let's see, who is stronger, the spider or the centipede!"
