Chapter 125 Liu Jing Seeks Help
Not long after Sun Zecheng returned to his residence, he received a sound transmission note from his master Li Huayuan, asking him to come over.
"Master, you're looking for me? Oh, when did Master's wife come too?" It seems that the situation at the Jinguyuan front has been stable during the time when he was in seclusion to modify the magic weapon, otherwise Li Huayuan would not have let Master's wife come to the front as well.
"Your Master's Wife has been here for a while. You were in seclusion for ten months, so naturally I didn't know. You didn't even tell me when you came out. It was only when your Master's Wife happened to go to Master Hongfu's place that I knew you had come out."
"Hehe, I was just about to come and pay my respects to Master, when I received a message from Master."
"Zecheng went to pick up Xuan'er, which is his duty! However, how are you going to explain Xuan'er's matter to Nie Ying later?" The master's wife interrupted, speaking for Sun Zecheng while gossiping.
"Hello, Master's Wife! There is no need to explain anything. Just tell us what happened."
"Okay, let's talk about business first." Li Huayuan interrupted his master's wife from gossiping.
"It's like this, your third senior brother Liu Jing and seventh senior sister Zhong Weiniang encountered a group of evil cultivators in Yuejing..."
Sun Zecheng finally understood after listening to Li Huayuan's explanation.
It turned out that Li Huayuan had a senior brother named Qin, who saved Li Huayuan's life. After senior brother Qin passed away, his only son had no spiritual roots and could not practice Taoism. Li Huayuan was grateful for senior brother Qin's life-saving grace and vowed to keep his son rich and prosperous for the rest of his life.
Recently, Li Huayuan learned that the people from the six evil sects might send some low-level disciples to infiltrate the secular world of their country to purge the mortals secretly supported by the seven sects.
Upon hearing the news, he was worried about the safety of his senior brother Qin's descendants. It happened that Liu Jing was ordered to help Zhong Weiniang eliminate those independent and evil cultivators who took the opportunity to cause trouble. When the two of them walked near Yuejing, he ordered the two of them to protect the Qin family as well.
Naturally, Liu Jing and Zhong Weiniang discovered the evil cultivators in the capital. They tracked them all the way to the palace and found that the housekeeper and the young prince were both evil cultivators. Both of them hated evil and naturally would not miss the opportunity to kill the evil cultivators.
Liu Jing and Zhong Weiniang first captured the young prince and the housekeeper. After interrogation, they learned that there was a Black Evil Sect leader named Tie Luo hiding in the capital, and the leader had four great guards under him.
At this time Tie Luo came to rescue the butler and the little prince. After a fight, although he killed the butler and the little prince, Tie Luo left calmly.
One of the guards of the Black Demon Cult leader has such strength! What if there is a Black Demon Cult leader above the four guards?
After witnessing the strength of the Black Evil Sect, Liu Jing had no choice but to write a letter to his master Li Huayuan for help.
……
"This is the situation. As a teacher, I have a responsibility and cannot leave the front line. Zecheng, are you willing to go and support third brother?" After the explanation, Li Huayuan asked Sun Zecheng.
"As long as Master gives the order, I will go through fire and water without hesitation! Even if Master doesn't give the order, it is my bounden duty to support Third Brother! I will take care of this matter!" Sun Zecheng patted his chest and took the responsibility.
"Okay! I knew that fighting and killing suits you!" Li Huayuan was very happy that his number one thug was willing to take action. After all, Liu Jing was already a stronger disciple under his tutelage, but he was helpless when he met one of the opponent's four guards. Needless to say, the leader of the Black Evil Sect must be even stronger. He could not go, and Li Huayuan felt uneasy without his number one thug Sun Zecheng.
"However, the opponent's strength should not be underestimated. I will let your senior and junior brothers go to help you." Li Huayuan said as he summoned Song Meng, Wu Xuan, and Han Li, asking them to follow Sun Zecheng to support Liu Jing, Zhong Wei Niang.
"Also, several of your uncle Huiming's disciples are also on a mission to Nanwu City near Yuejing. You can ask them for help."
……
The capital of Yue State, Qin Palace.
"Master, isn't here?" Liu Jing asked as soon as they met.
"Master has duties to perform and cannot leave the Jinguyuan camp, so he specially sent a few of us to provide support," Sun Zecheng replied.
Liu Jing was silent after hearing this. "Maybe... the power is not enough." Zhong Weiniang said hesitantly.
"What's going on?" Song Meng, Wu Xuan, Han Li and others didn't know the situation yet. Li Huayuan just asked them to come with Sun Zecheng to help without explaining the situation to them in detail.
Liu Jing explained the situation to several people with a wry smile. The evil cultivator had at least four foundation-building guards, and a leader whose cultivation level was unknown.
"What?" Wu Xuan was furious when he heard it. "Senior Brother Liu, should we ask Master for instructions and then call some people from the sect? It would be difficult for us to catch the leader of the Black Evil Sect alone."
Han Li nodded repeatedly, looking as if he agreed with it.
"Oh, speaking of calling for help again, when we came out, Master said that several disciples of Uncle Huiming were also on a mission in Nanwu City near Yuejing, so we can ask them for help." Sun Zecheng added.
"Okay! With the help of Uncle Huiming's senior brothers and junior brothers, I think it's almost done," Liu Jing said happily.
Sun Zecheng looked around.
Wu Xuan remained silent, but his expression showed that he was unwilling.
There was also Han Li, who looked troubled.
Only Song Meng looked eager to try.
"Oh, and we discovered that the Black Evil Cult's headquarters is inside the imperial palace," Zhong Weiniang added.
Now Wu Xuan can find an excuse!
"Breaking into the palace without permission violates the ban of the seven sects! Master didn't tell us this when we came here! I think we should ask Master for instructions before making a decision!" Wu Xuan said.
Han Li nodded and said, "I think Sixth Senior Brother is right. The Black Evil Sect won't run away anytime soon anyway, so it's safer to ask Master for instructions."
"What's wrong? Are Sixth Junior Brother and Ninth Junior Brother afraid?" Liu Jing raised his sword-like eyebrows and asked unhappily when he heard Wu Xuan and Han Li say this.
"I'm not afraid of the Black Evil Cult members, I just don't want to violate the ban of the seven sects!" Wu Xuan pretended to be a good boy.
Han Li touched his nose and said nothing.
"Since we already know that the imperial palace has become a den of filth and corruption, how can I, Liu, let it go without asking any questions? Just follow my lead. If the higher-ups blame you for trespassing into the imperial palace and violating the seven sects' ban, I, Liu Jing, will take full responsibility!" Liu Jing said righteously.
Sun Zecheng looked over.
With this remark,
Han Li and Wu Xuan had disdainful expressions on their faces, probably because they thought that their third senior brother Liu Jing was a big idiot!
And the seventh senior sister Zhong Weiniang showed an admiring look, obviously she shared the same values and aspirations as Liu Jing!
Good girl! Good brother!
As long as I, Sun Zecheng, am here, I won't let anything happen to you! Sun Zecheng swore secretly.
Song Meng was eager to try, and when he heard Liu Jing's words, he said boldly: "Okay, since Third Senior Brother has said so, then I, Song Meng, am willing to fight alongside you!"
"I will not leave you either. I will definitely take down the Imperial City with you!" Zhong Wei immediately voiced his support.
When Liu Jing heard his two junior brothers and sisters speaking in support, he smiled slightly, thanked them, and then turned to Sun Zecheng, Han Li, and Wu Xuan and asked:
"I don't know what the three of you plan to do. If you feel it's inappropriate and don't want to participate, I won't force you!"
