Indeed, in other people's hearts, Xiao Ning alone is worth more than a thousand troops!
"Gentlemen, there's no need for such formalities. How did the discussions go?"
Xiao Ning gestured with his hands to help everyone up, then turned and asked.
Abbess Miejue sighed and replied with some helplessness, "This place is the only way to reach Bright Peak. The demonic cultists are hiding in the shadows. We have no better options than to grit our teeth and attack!"
"Yes, these treacherous cultists are too insidious. Hiding in the shadows and shooting arrows from the dark, what kind of heroes are they!"
"It's not that we value our lives, but such reckless actions will only result in the needless sacrifice of our disciples' lives!"
"If you have the guts, come out and fight us fair and square. What kind of person hides like this?"
As soon as the words "Extinction" were spoken, a barrage of complaints and curses erupted from the crowd, with all sorts of opinions being expressed.
Xiao Ning observed coldly, his mind clear as day. These people were trying to provoke him into taking action.
but.
Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Do you think I'd fall for that?
Seeing that Xiao Ning did not respond, the atmosphere suddenly turned cold. Miejue and the others exchanged glances and finally made a decision.
Extinction gritted her teeth and said, "Our martial arts are weak, so we are helpless against the demonic cultists. However... however, I think that if... the True Man is willing to take action, these demonic cultists are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs!"
When it came to asking Xiao Ning for help, Miejue found it a bit difficult to bring up.
Xiao Ning waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "I'm just here to relax and take my disciples for some training. I don't plan to make a move unless it's absolutely necessary!"
"So, you should discuss what to do yourselves!"
After hearing Xiao Ning's words, and looking at the still-childish Zhang Wuji and Song Qingshu behind him, everyone couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.
After discussing it for a while, they still couldn't come up with a good solution.
Abbess Miejue suddenly turned around, drew her Heaven-Slaying Sword, raised it high, and said, "There's nothing to say, let's just charge in. There's strength in numbers. Are we going to turn back now?"
Miejue is short-tempered and ruthless even in old age. She has a strong desire to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path, and she also has a great grudge against the Demonic Sect. This expedition to Bright Peak is driven by the idea that she will die if she fails, and she has long since disregarded life and death.
"Emei disciples, follow me and charge forward!"
With a wave of her hand, she rushed forward.
Xiao Ning turned his head and said to Zhang Wuji and Song Qingshu, "You two come along too, let's see some blood! Test your courage! Be careful!"
"Yes, Grandmaster Uncle!"
Zhang Wuji and Song Qingshu both accepted the order, drew their longswords, and rushed forward.
Abbess Miejue took the lead, wielding the Heaven-Slaying Sword, and charged directly into the One-Line Sky. Immediately, a loud bang was heard, and many members of the Five Elements Banners charged out from inside the One-Line Sky.
As Abbess Miejue wielded the Heaven-Slaying Sword, countless sword energies shot out, instantly cutting more than a dozen elite disciples of the Five Elements Banner into pieces and killing them by dismemberment.
Disciples from the six major sects then joined the fray, and the two sides were locked in a chaotic battle.
People were falling to their deaths from time to time; some were from the Six Major Sects, and others were from the Five Elements Flags.
The Five Elements Banners were ultimately no match for the elite forces of the major sects, and could only fight and retreat.
The six major sects, led by their respective leaders, acted like arrows, quickly breaking through and breaking through the Five Elements Flag forces.
We passed through the narrow gorge and went straight to Bright Summit.
…………
On Bright Summit, however, the scene is quite different.
Upon receiving Yang Xiao's distress message, Green-Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao and the Five Wanderers immediately rushed to Bright Peak. They were closer to the peak than Yin Tianzheng, so they arrived a day or two earlier.
Yang Xiao was happy to welcome them, but unexpectedly, during the banquet, after everyone had drunk some wine, the old matter was brought up again, and they wanted to elect a leader, but Yang Xiao refused.
Then, a disagreement broke out among them, and a fight broke out.
Unexpectedly, a monk suddenly appeared from the shadows and launched a sneak attack with the Illusionary Yin Finger, severely injuring Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao, and the Five Wanderers.
Then, the monk, believing he had the situation under control, began to boast about his family and friends, and everyone realized that it was all a conspiracy.
This monk came from Shaolin Temple, his Dharma name was Yuanzhen, and he was the master of Xie Xun, the Golden Lion King, and Cheng Kun, the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand.
Just as Cheng Kun was proudly recounting a long-buried story and explaining why he had ambushed everyone and intended to destroy the Ming Cult, a loud shout suddenly came from behind him:
"Cheng Kun, you treacherous dog, prepare to die!"

Chapter 51 Discovering the Conspiracy
On that day, Zhang Cuishan, Xiao Ning, and others traveled westward from Huguang Province to the First Line of Sky below Bright Peak to join the other five major sects.
As they approached the narrow pass, Zhang Cuishan left the group and did not follow them, instead acting alone.
Zhang Cuishan abandoned his horse and used his lightness skill to travel, leaping several meters in a single bound. With all his might, he sent a figure flying away in an instant, leaving behind billowing dust.
Before long, Zhang Cuishan hopped across the mountain stream and leaped over the cliff, arriving at the back of Bright Summit with practiced ease.
Just then, Zhang Cuishan had a sudden thought. He quickly buried himself in the shadows, held his breath, and minimized his presence.
Suddenly, he saw a figure flash past in the woods ahead. The figure was extremely swift and appeared to be moving erratically, displaying excellent lightness skills.
Zhang Cuishan's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself: At this time, the six major sects are besieging Bright Peak, so who would come to this back mountain?
