Li Yao smiled and said, "You come with me. We'll go to Shaolin first, and then to Wudang."
Wei Yixiao was overjoyed upon hearing this.
It is a great honor to work with the leader!
He quickly bowed and accepted the order.
Actually, the main reason Li Yao let Wei Yixiao follow him was because he valued Wei Yixiao's superb lightness skills.
If anything happens on the road and someone needs to run errands, Wei Yixiao is the best candidate.
Having arranged everything, Li Yao added, "Everyone, you must persuade the various sects to form an alliance with our Ming Cult. If anyone objects, you can resort to extreme measures. Those who do great things do not concern themselves with trifles."
"yes!"
Yang Xiao and the others were all seasoned veterans of the martial arts world, so they naturally understood the reasoning behind it, and they readily accepted the order.
Just as everyone was preparing to descend the mountain and go to their respective sects, a member of the sect suddenly ran up to Yang Xiao and said, "Something bad has happened, Left Envoy Yang, Miss has secretly run down the mountain."
"What?"
Yang Xiao's eyes widened, and he hurriedly tried to chase after him.
Li Yao quickly stopped Yang Xiao and said, "Left Envoy Yang, there's no need to chase after her. Bu Hui is already so old. Let her go out and gain some experience. Besides, with Brother Wu Ji around, Bu Hui won't be in any danger."
Yang Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said apologetically, "Master, I have failed to properly educate my daughter, and I apologize for making you laugh at me."
Li Yao smiled slightly, then asked the messenger, "Did that maid, Xiao Zhao, also go down the mountain with Young Master Zhang?"
The follower was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Master."
It seems that Xiao Zhao has become dependent on Zhang Wuji, and may even have developed feelings for him.
×××
Bright Peak is located in the Kunlun Mountains, outside the pass, while most of the major sects are located inside the pass.
In other words, if Li Yao goes to Shaolin Temple, he will inevitably travel with Yang Xiao and others for a period of time.
However, Yang Xiao and his group, who were accompanied by many Ming Cult members, traveled at a slower pace.
Therefore, Li Yao and Wei Yixiao set off first, walking ahead of each other.
After Li Yao and Wei Yixiao descended the mountain, they crossed a desert, passed Jiayuguan Pass, and entered the area inside the pass.
They did not encounter Zhang Wuji on the way.
It must be because we took different paths.
After entering the pass, they rode their horses along the official road, heading southeast.
Although we've entered the interior of China, this area is located in the northwest and is sparsely populated. Occasionally, we'll encounter some merchant caravans on the official roads.
It was nearly noon that day.
As the two approached a grove of trees, Li Yao reined in his horse and said to Wei Yi with a smile, "Let's rest here for a bit and get something to eat."
After saying that, he dismounted.
Wei Yixiao also dismounted.
As he led his horse, he glanced back and frowned, saying to Li Yao, "Master, why do I keep feeling like someone is following us?"
Li Yao tied his horse to a large tree nearby covered with tender grass, and smiled, saying, "You're quite alert, not bad, not bad!"
Wei Yixiao also tied his horse nearby and asked with a surprised look, "Could it be that the sect leader had already discovered it?"
"Shh!"
Li Yao's ears twitched, he raised a finger to his lips, and his gaze fell on a patch of grass in the distance.
He picked up a pebble from the ground and tiptoed closer.
All that could be heard was a rustling sound coming from the grass.
Whoosh!
Li Yao flicked his finger, sending the stone in his hand flying.
Immediately afterwards, a scream of an animal came from the bushes.
Wei Yixiao was overjoyed and rushed over.
A moment later, he had a big, fat rabbit in his hand.
Wei Yixiao gave a thumbs up and said, "Master, your finger-flicking skill is much more powerful than Yang Zuoshi's finger-flicking skill."
Li Yao chuckled and pointed at the big, fat rabbit, saying, "This is what we'll have for lunch today."
Wei Yixiao quickly went to a stream and cleaned the big fat rabbit's fur and internal organs.
Li Yao then started a fire.
When Wei Yixiao returned, he put the big fat rabbit on the fire to roast.
While turning the large, fat rabbit over the grill, Li Yao said, "They've been following us since the desert; they're really patient."
"What?"
Wei Yixiao was startled and asked in confusion, "They've been following us since the desert? Who are they? What do they want?"
Li Yao's expression suddenly changed, and he said, "They're here!"
After saying that, he put down the big fat rabbit and turned around in a flash.
Chapter 102 Ambush, Tohshoku Muscle-Softening Powder
"They're here? What's here?"
Wei Yixiao was stunned for a moment, then he understood.
Because he could already hear the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air behind him.
Whoosh whoosh!
Arrows flew in like a torrential rain, densely packed and swift.
When he turned around, he saw that the cult leader had a large knife in his hand, which he was swinging in the air, knocking the arrows to the ground.
Wei Yixiao rarely used weapons, carrying only two short knives with him.
At that moment, he pulled out two short knives, intending to knock down the rapidly approaching arrows.
However, he found that he couldn't get involved at all.
As the cult leader walked forward, he brandished his broadsword. Every arrow that struck him was either cut in half or knocked away.
At this moment, the cult leader was like a mountain, impenetrable by any arrow.
Before long, the enemy had run out of arrows.
At this moment, a group of people dressed as hunters suddenly appeared from both sides of the road.
They swarmed in, wielding long knives.
Li Yao brandished his embroidered spring knife, charging into the crowd like a god of war.
All that could be heard was a continuous series of thuds as Li Yao slashed left and right, seemingly without any method, but in fact, he brought out the essence of speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness to the fullest extent.
Every cut marks the end of a life!
Soon, a large number of corpses lay on the ground.
Wei Yixiao was dumbfounded.
He hasn't had a chance to make a move yet!
Just when Wei Yixiao thought that Li Yao was about to eliminate all the ambushers, he suddenly noticed a strange noise coming from behind him.
He quickly turned around and saw seven or eight Tibetan monks suddenly leap out of the woods.
He was overjoyed, thinking to himself: This time I finally have a chance to make a move!
Just as he was thinking this, a blur flashed before his eyes and a figure streaked past.
His eyes widened, and he saw the cult leader had already appeared in front of him, fighting with seven or eight Tibetan monks.
Seeing that the seven or eight Tibetan monks were all unarmed, Li Yao did not want to take advantage of them, so he threw his embroidered spring knife and nailed it to a big tree.
He then fought seven or eight Tibetan monks with his bare hands.
Li Yao discovered that the kung fu used by these Tibetan monks was actually the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm.
This was the first time he had ever encountered someone using the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm technique.
Judging from their skills, their Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm technique has reached about level five or six.
That's already amazing!
Generally, only those who practice the esoteric sects of the Western Regions would specifically cultivate this skill.
How come so many Tibetan monks who can use the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm have suddenly appeared?
Previously, Li Yao suspected that the person following him was from the Prince of Ruyang's mansion.
Could it be that these Tibetan Buddhist monks also sought refuge with the Prince of Ruyang's mansion?
While using the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm to fight these Tibetan monks, Li Yao was lost in thought.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
Could these Tibetan monks be disciples or grand-disciples of the 'Golden Wheel Dharma King'?
In the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, the Golden Wheel Monk sided with the Menggu people.
The Tibetan monks were all greatly surprised to see Li Yao also use the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm.
What shocked them even more was that Li Yao's Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm was far more powerful than theirs.
In the blink of an eye, five of their companions were killed by Li Yao with a single palm strike.
The remaining Tibetan monks looked at each other in bewilderment.
One of the Tibetan monks turned his gaze to the embroidered spring knife nailed to the tree.
