Chapter 42: No Escape

The Arashiyama sect is built on a steep mountain with cliffs on three sides, and only one side of the slope leads to the top.

This kind of terrain can be said to be unique, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But as long as they are attacked by someone, by the same token, the people of the Arashiyama Sect have nowhere to escape.

Because of this, the Arashiyama Sect secretly built a secret passage on the cliff of the back mountain, which could lead to the bottom of the mountain.

This secret passage of the Arashiyama sect is to dig a circular stone step on the vertical cliff that can only accommodate one person. Since it is a secret passage, ordinary disciples must not know about it, and only the sect master and a few elders know about the existence of this secret passage.

Now, after Beihe and the others left the apse, they embarked on a mountain road, and finally came to a cliff.

The secret passage is built three feet below the cliff, and because the cliff is partially protruding, it is impossible to see the secret passage when you stand on the cliff and look down. You can only descend by rope to the location of the secret passage.

In the pouring rain, after several people came here, a figure standing with his hands in his hands seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

When everyone saw this person's appearance clearly, Gu was a little surprised, because they recognized the one on the edge of the cliff, who was Elder Wang, one of the Void Realm martial artists of the Lanshan Sect.

This person looks to be in his fifties, a little thin, and has a mustache. In the torrential rain, Elder Wang's robe was soaked. But his eyes were looking at everyone, without the slightest fluctuation.

"Elder Wang!"

After seeing this person, the older middle-aged man was a little surprised, but he still arched his hand, and then said, "The elite soldiers of Fengguo are coming, Elder Wang and I will escape from the secret passage." ”

Hearing this, the Elder Wang sneered, and the mustache on the corner of his mouth also curled, "Jiang He, Jiang Hai, you don't want to go anywhere today, just wait here." ”

"Huh?" the middle-aged man frowned, "What does Elder Wang mean by this." ”

"Your father and I have a good relationship, so I don't want to hurt you. Elder Wang said.

"You ......," another middle-aged man was furious, "you were bribed by the people of the Fengguo Imperial Court." ”

Elder Wang didn't say anything about this, just smiled and didn't say anything.

After seeing this person's expression, even if he didn't answer, everyone knew the answer. When I think of this, I am all annoyed. There is a Void Warrior guarding this place, and none of them can escape through the secret passages.

"I'll fight with you!"

The younger middle-aged man couldn't suppress the anger in his heart at the moment, this person held a spear in his hand, rushed towards Elder Wang, and stabbed Elder Wang in the chest as soon as he got closer.

The smile on Elder Wang's face when he saw this scene disappeared, and he saw that this person stood still, and the next moment the head of the spear stabbed him in the chest.

But the sharp spear only pierced this person's clothes, against his skin, unable to break through his cover door, and injured Elder Wang in the slightest.

Facing Elder Wang's cold gaze, the middle-aged man turned his spear back and stabbed it into the person's eyes instead.

This time, Elder Wang finally moved, he reached out with extremely fast movements, grabbed the head of the spear, and pulled it violently.

The middle-aged man only felt a huge force coming, and his figure couldn't help but stagger forward, seeing that this person seemed to take the initiative to send it, Elder Wang's spare other hand grabbed his front door.

"Whew!"

A short arrow burst through the air and landed in Elder Wang's palm.

Receiving this blow, Elder Wang's palm retracted, and the middle-aged man also took the opportunity to retreat, and he didn't even have time to retract the spear.

When Elder Wang looked up, he saw a young man in armor, and at this time he raised his cuffs to aim at him, it was Bei He who inspired the Hidden Arrow.

When he saw that Beihe was wearing the armor of the Fengguo cavalry, Elder Wang was a little surprised, but then he recognized Beihe's identity, a member of the Lanshan Sect, and a disciple of Lu Hou. He had seen Beihe several times over the years.

"Senior Brother Jiang, let's run away separately!" The blow missed, and Beihe suddenly shouted.

Hearing this, the two middle-aged men clenched their teeth, obviously a little unwilling. It's just a Void Realm martial artist blocking this place, they definitely can't escape through the secret passage, and now there is only one way, and that is to find a way to escape separately.

"Let's go!"

After making a decision, the older middle-aged man immediately gave the order, and the group fled in the direction they came, disappearing into the rainy night.

If it was dark today, it was pouring rain, and they were familiar with the Arashiyama Sect, so there was still a chance to escape.

Seeing Beihe and the others fleeing back along the same route, Elder Wang, who was guarding the cliff, did not chase and kill, but stood in place and did not move, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Sect Master Jiang can't help it, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, and Wang has no choice but to do it. All I heard was the man muttering to himself.

"Boom!"

In response to this person, there was a thunderclap that resounded on the top of the entire Arashiyama Sect, and the dazzling lightning illuminated the Arashiyama Sect as if it were daylight in an instant.

Beihe and the others, who returned to the apse, were already soaked at this time, and the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely solemn. If the secret passage was guarded by Elder Wang, then they would have nowhere to escape, and even if they could hide temporarily, they would eventually be found by Fengguo's cavalry.

"I still know a way. ”

Just when the middle-aged man and the others were almost in despair, they only heard Beihe speak.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at him one after another, and their eyes were full of light.

"On the east side of the mountain, it was opened by my master's own hands. "North River Road.

"Okay, then kill it. The older middle-aged man said.

But at this time, I heard Beihe speak, "The goal of waiting together is too big, and there are many Fengguo cavalry, the only way is to go separately and find a way to converge." ”

After a little silence, everyone felt that what Beihe said was reasonable.

It's just that when the two middle-aged men saw Jiang Qing, Leng Wanwan, and the middle-aged woman, they showed hesitation again.

If they were alone, they would have a good chance of breaking out of the encirclement, but with these three weak women, how could they run.

The three girls obviously saw everyone's thoughts, and lowered their heads for a while, they were a burden at this moment.

"I came up in disguise as a Fengguo cavalry before, and now I can pretend to capture Jiang Qing and Leng Wanwan to see if I can escape. "Listen to the North River again.

"This ......"

Everyone looked at him with some surprise, but then saw the older middle-aged man nodding, "Okay, bet." After that, the man continued: "Second brother, you and I will take my wife to kill together. ”

"Good!" said another.

"Let's go!" After making a decision, Bei He didn't hesitate, and then grabbed Leng Wanwan and Jiang Qing's wrists and rushed towards the direction of the front hall.

While running, he tore off Jiang Qing's two long sleeves and tied the second girl's wrists from behind.

After coming to the front hall, only the shouting and killing sound in the square seemed to be gone, only the sound of thunder and rain was connected.

And a war horse that had lost its master, at this time happened to wander in the main hall, wandering as if no one was around. Seeing this, Beihe put his helmet on his head and turned over his horse.

"Dada...... Click......"

The next moment, I saw him rushing out in the form of a war horse. And Jiang Qing and Leng Wanwan's two daughters were tied behind their backs, lying on horseback, and were taken out by him.

"Hahahaha...... These two daughters and seven princes asked for their names, and they all got out of the way for me. ”

When the war horse rushed to the bloody square, Beihe on horseback laughed wildly.

The next moment, the smile on his face froze.

Because the battle in the square had ended, the corpses of countless Lanshan Sect disciples were lying on the ground. Red blood mixed with the rain, pouring out of the wounds on the men's bodies, staining the vast square red.

The Fengguo cavalry also lost most of it, and at this moment only more than a hundred people were still on horseback.

And more than 100 people formed a circle, trapping a white figure in the middle. Take a closer look, the white figure is a white-haired old man, the sect master of the Lanshan Sect, Jiang Muyuan.

Now Jiang Muyuan knelt on one knee, and the long sword in his hand pierced the stone slab under his feet, supporting him from falling. On him, there are hidden arrows stuck in him, making him look like a hedgehog.

His eyes opened, and his cloudy eyes did not have the slightest brilliance, this Lanshan Sect Master was already dead.

But even so, these Fengguo cavalry were very jealous of him, and no one dared to move forward immediately even if it was a corpse, just because Jiang Muyuan was so powerful that he was afraid to kill them. This can be seen from the dozens of corpses of Fengguo cavalry scattered around Jiang Muyuan.

At this moment, apart from the sound of rain, only the sound of horses' hooves resounded in the square. Beihe galloped across the square with Leng Wanwan and Jiang Qing, but the eyes of the three of them all fell on Jiang Muyuan, who was kneeling on one knee and was full of arrows.

"Grandpa......"

"Father-in-law......"

The second daughter on horseback was so sad that she couldn't cry.

Seeing this scene, Beihe was also about to crack his teeth, but he whipped the horsewhip in his hand on the horse's back, turned his grief and anger into strength, accelerated his speed and rushed across the square, galloped towards the bottom of the mountain in the heavy rain, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

In the process, none of these Fengguo cavalry came to stop him, and it was obvious that Beihe's plan was successful.

With the arrival of the Seven Princes' troops, Jiang Muyuan died, and the Arashiyama Sect would cease to exist.

No wonder Lu Hou once said that no matter how powerful a martial artist is, it is impossible to be invincible, and under the iron cavalry of the dynasty, the power of the sect can only be a bubble.

At this moment, the North River galloping on horseback has never been more real.
