Chapter 58: Tang Xiaoxia jumped down from Lin Yue Peak at the second watch

  Because of the weekend, I'll post two updates earlier.

  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

  Perhaps the King of Chu would soon think again: "If the crown prince really had no intention of rebelling, was all this fabricated by Fei Wuji?" He knew better than anyone that since Fei Tianji presented Meng Yansi to him, he and the crown prince had become irreconcilable enemies, each determined to destroy the other.

  The appearance of the black-clothed assassin made the Chu king, who had been startled into a cold sweat, suddenly recover. The emergence of this new crisis completely eliminated the shadow that had always existed in his heart. He no longer hesitated or regretted; he was once again the ruthless and decisive Chu king!

  The Crown Prince Jian of Jin State had a close relationship with Duke Xian of Jin, and the secret reports that he had obtained through his assistance began to flow in continuously. At this time, Fei Tianji also reported secretly that according to his investigation, the black-clad assassins were actually from the mysterious Night God Sect of Heishan Mountain in southern Chu State!

  The Night Deity Sect is a highly influential sect in the southern part of Chu State, its power and influence far surpassing that of the current Moon Deity Sect. Legend has it that the new leader of the Night Deity Sect, Mo Ye, can completely hide his figure in the dark night, with ruthless and deadly precision. Under him are four guardians who oversee the four regions where the Night Deity Sect is active in southern Chu State, each of whom is also a master of martial arts. As for the lower-ranking leaders, legend has it that there are thousands, with tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand followers.

  The situation in the vast area of southern Chu has reached a point where it is possible for officials to collect some taxes to maintain order, but it can be said that the Night God Sect has become a state within a state in Chu. Although they do not control any cities or establish any military forces that threaten Chu, their influence in southern Chu is so great that even the King of Chu himself is extremely wary of them.

  Because the Night God Sect had always been low-key in their actions, never causing any big trouble and not affecting the taxes collected by Chu State in the south, King of Chu's attitude towards the Night God Sect was the same as his attitude towards other sects - as long as you didn't cause any trouble and submitted to the local officials' jurisdiction, they would all be tolerated.

  Moreover, the national situation of Chu State is also different from that of various countries in the Central Plains. Although the politics of various countries in the Central Plains are also influenced by some powerful ministers and families, compared with Chu State which was originally formed by the alliance of many tribes, the situation of various countries in the Central Plains is much simpler and more stable.

  With the Night God Sect's matter, Fei Wuji finally started to tell Chu Wang that Taizi Jian is seeking help in Jin State, hoping to assassinate Chu Wang through Mo Ye Sect and have Jin troops escort him to Chu capital to seize the throne.

  The problem has become serious, although it is not a threat to the great country of Jin for Chu Wang, but he still has a way to deal with Ye Shen Jiao. So he decided to deal with Ye Shen Jiao first and solve the danger of assassination by Ye Shen Jiao before doing anything else.

  Of course, he wasn't foolish enough to directly declare the Night God Sect a heresy. After all, the influence of the Night God Sect in the southern part of Chu State was very great, and if that were to happen, Chu State would face a huge internal turmoil. He sent messengers to send silk letters to the Night God Sect first, expressing his doubts directly in the letter, telling Mo Ye that if he didn't want to face the situation where the sect would be destroyed and its people would perish, he should come to the capital of Chu State in person to explain clearly.

  These arrangements by King Chu were almost meaningless to Luosi Qi, and she even felt that the Mohist School and herself had the same purpose, they should be together.

  Unfortunately, two people with the same goal did not discuss it beforehand, and as a result, Luosi was forced to save the King of Chu. But this can't be blamed on her! It was clearly the black-clad man from the Night God Sect who attacked her first.

  Until she received a letter from Han Yue sent from Lin Yue Peak.

  The messenger who came was Ji Cao. This time, he was different from the usual expressionless him. His face looked very unsightly this time, giving Luosiqi a bad premonition.

  She nervously accepted the letter from Ji Cao, and after reading just a few sentences, her heart skipped a beat. By the time she finished reading the entire letter, it slipped out of Luosi Qi's hands and fell to the ground. In her mind, there was only one thought: "Is Tang Xiaoxia dead?"

  The letter was written by Han Yue himself, and it described that three days ago, Lin Yuefeng was attacked by the Night God Sect. The enemy was scattered and gathered at the foot of Lin Yuefeng Mountain, so the Moon God Sect did not discover it in advance and had no preparation for it. Of course, there were still ordinary preparations, but with the recovery of the High Priest Chen Xing, the defense of Lin Yuefeng could hardly maintain a high intensity all the time, and as day after day passed without incident, it was inevitable that it would relax slightly.

  The enemy launched a surprise attack at night, coinciding with the fact that it was raining lightly that evening and there was no moon. Unlike the previous time when only four people attacked stealthily, this time more than 300 black-clad enemies suddenly appeared, which clearly was not an ambush but rather an all-out assault aimed at annihilating the entire Lin Yuefeng sect!

  According to the letter from Han Yue, the main force of the Moon God Sect was divided into two groups. One group centered around the residence of the High Priest, and this group was very strong because the sect leader Han Yue happened to be discussing matters at Chen Xing's residence, plus the moon maidens by his side.

  Another wave was led by Tang Xiaxia, who led the guards to fight and retreat, luring a large number of enemies to the highest peak of Lin Yuefeng. Relying on the terrain to maintain the defense line, they attempted to attract most of the incoming enemy forces to the summit, waiting for Han Yue and Yuexia to clear their side of the enemy, then launching a pincer attack from Chenxing's residence, wiping out all enemies on Lin Yuefeng.

  Such tactics, according to Han Yue's letter, were also guessed by her. The tone of the letter was very self-reproachful, because after a brief exchange, Han Yue recognized the obviously different Night God Cult Master Mo Ye who served him. This resulted in despite there being only dozens of enemies outside Chen Xing's residence, she and Chen Xing took a defensive stance relying on Chen Xing's residence, not attacking unless the enemy attacked first.

  Han Yue frankly stated in the letter that she was at a disadvantage due to lack of information, as the Cult Master and High Priest were at the High Priest's residence. Except for Tang Xiaoxia's led guards by his side, most of Lin Yuefeng's forces had gathered near Chenxing's residence.

  Mo Ye's approach was to let anyone who tried to get close to Chen Xing's residence in, without much obstruction. The cult members were naturally willing to meet with their leader first before launching the next part of their plan, so the fighting power at Chen Xing's residence grew stronger and stronger, forming a standoff between the two sides inside and outside the door.

  That night, the rain grew heavier and heavier. Han Yue had no idea that at the same time she was in a tense standoff with Mo Ye, on the peak of Lin Yuefeng, Tang Xiaoxia was leading over a dozen ordinary guards to resist the siege of over 200 people led by two protectors of the Mo Ye sect!

  Han Yue said in the letter that when she could no longer bear to command the crowd to kill, the standoff between the two sides had lasted for nearly an hour. The opponent unexpectedly collapsed at a touch, and Muye, the leader of the Night God Sect, who was at a disadvantage in numbers, actually led the retreat.

  It can be said that Mo Ye took the lead in running, because it was too dark at night and raining heavily. Han Yue also didn't dare to let her subordinates chase too tightly, just like last time, she let the enemy escape again with her eyes open.

  However, when counting the number of people, she was extremely sad to discover dozens of corpses on the top of Lin Yuefeng Peak. Due to the rain, some of the corpses were guards who had been seriously injured and pretended to be dead. They told Han Yue that when Tang Youfang found out he was the only one left and there was no hope of breaking through, Tang Youfang jumped off the peak in the end. Lin Yuefeng Peak is over a hundred meters high, and it's certain that he would have been smashed to pieces without any suspense.

  Roth's body couldn't stop trembling, and even with the presence of Tsukihime and Himekusa, her tears still flowed out uncontrollably.
