Chapter 335

Zhang Chengyue listened with his hands down and nodded repeatedly.

How could he not know in his heart that at this time, other than Ou Peng, he, the chief disciple, should be the one to straighten his back in front of all the disciples. He did not have the slightest room to retreat. He was also clear about what Eldest Martial Uncle wanted to do, but this very important matter could not be done by him. He could only stand beside Master with a smile.

This was the pride of a direct disciple, but also the sorrow of a direct disciple.

After Ou Peng finished speaking, Zhang Chengyue regained his composure and said in a low voice, "Great Sect Master, the disciples of the Divine Mechanics Hall have sent news that there are countless masked people surrounding the Misty Mountain Villa. They are advancing towards us. They failed to break through the encirclement and lost a few brothers. They have already retreated."

"What about the back mountain of the Misty Mountain?

Have they found any traces of the enemy? "

"Not at the moment. I have already sent people to check."

"Good. Quickly inform Eldest Martial Uncle and let him take action as soon as possible. Also, inform all the brothers in the sect to prepare for the enemy."

"Yes, Master."

After hearing this, Zhang Chengyue quickly walked out. His footsteps were very steady, and he was more confident than when he had just entered.

Looking at Zhang Chengyue's back, Ou Peng smiled for the first time of the day. Danger was not always a bad thing. The Misty School after its nirvanic rebirth might have a new atmosphere. However, he still had a trace of doubt in his heart. The army was already at the border and they were about to meet with weapons, but the Righteous Alliance still wanted to cover their faces. What kind of medicine were they selling?

After thinking, Ou Peng pulled himself together and quickly walked out of the Divine Mechanics Hall.

In the Misty Mountain Villa, from the memorial archway to the square, the disciples had already formed a formation. They were all holding various weapons and were waiting for battle. In the pavilions behind the square, there were also many disciples moving things and setting up traps. Although there were many people and things were complicated, they were still in good order. There was no unnecessary panic, just like the tension before the battle.

Seeing such a situation, Ou Peng was extremely gratified. Even though these disciples did not have as much information as Zhang Chengyue, causing them to feel a heavy psychological pressure, but this passion to serve the Ethereal Sect, as long as they could get through this hurdle, would definitely be synonymous with iron and blood in the future.

In an instant, Ou Peng was even more confident that he could survive this ordeal.

Before Ou Peng could return to the meeting hall, Zhang Chengyue came over to report, "Sect Master, according to the scouts of the Divine Mechanics Sect, not only has the front of Misty Manor been surrounded, but there are also traces of enemies at the back of Misty Peak."

"There are even Righteous Dao Alliance disciples at the back of the mountain?

How many are there? "

"There's a lot of vegetation at the back of the mountain, so I can't see clearly. However, they're about to surround us."

"Where are your Eldest Martial Uncle and the others?"

"Disciple has already informed Eldest Martial Uncle of the situation. They are preparing to enter the secret passage."

"Alright, quickly send someone to inform them to break out of the encirclement immediately. If they are surrounded, it will be even more difficult for them to break out. Let the disciples of the various halls mix with the elite disciples. Let them be led by the Hall Masters of the various halls. Let the female disciples of the Mingcui Hall, the third generation disciples, and the other disciples set up a defense on the Misty Peak. Their martial arts are limited. If they face the enemy at the frontline, they will only be killed."

Zhang Chengyue accepted the order and left. He returned not long after.

Ou Peng frowned and asked, "Chengyue, don't you think the Righteous Dao Alliance is being too ostentatious this time?

Our Misty School, Misty Mountain Manor, and Misty Peak occupy such a large area. They actually want to surround us. Don't tell me Zhang San of the Righteous Dao Alliance is not afraid of the Dalin Temple and the Incense Cult?

What if the two sects send a mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind? Won't the Righteous Dao Alliance go for wool but come home shorn? "

Zhang Chengyue was also puzzled and said, "That's right, Sect Leader. Disciple has also been thinking about this problem. Don't tell me the Righteous Dao Alliance also had a fortuitous encounter in the past few years?

Even if they have more disciples than us, if they kill a thousand, they will lose eight hundred of their own. If they don't have full confidence, why would they dare to do such a desperate thing? "

"That's right, there's something fishy about it. That's right, Chengyue, did you notice that the Righteous Dao Alliance is covering their faces in broad daylight? Aren't they trying to hide something?"

"Hahaha, Sect Leader is right. This kind of small fry, I'm afraid they don't dare to see the light."

Both Master and disciple laughed heartily. However, their laughter hid deep sorrow.

If something was out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy about it. It's just that they didn't know about it.

Time passed bit by bit and it was already close to noon. In front of the memorial archway, there were already many masked people in martial attire. They were all armed and just by looking at their figures, one could tell that they were all valiant people.

It was as if they were waiting for something!

Sure enough, when noon came, a whistling arrow rose from the back mountain of the Misty Peak. With a loud bang, the masked man immediately shouted and drew his weapon, rushing towards the Misty Mountain Manor. Like a tidal wave, he charged towards the defensive line that the Misty School's disciples had already set up.

Hearing the whistling arrow from the back mountain, Ou Peng's expression changed. He immediately said calmly, "Chengyue, how is the defensive line at the back mountain?"

"Don't worry, Sect Leader. I've already sent the elite disciples over. The back mountain is easy to defend and hard to attack. It shouldn't be a problem."

Ou Peng nodded slightly. He knew that the back mountain of the Misty Peak was mostly steep cliffs and there were many paths that didn't lead up. They only needed to send a few elite disciples to block the enemy.

The battle was very fierce. Not long after, there were casualties and screams could be heard from time to time. Ou Peng stood there with his hands behind his back. His eyes were slightly narrowed and his teeth were slightly clenched. He had a rare impulse in his heart. He really wanted to swing his sword and fight side by side with his brothers in the sect. However, he knew that a Sect Leader wasn't meant to swing his sword …

Sensing the change in Ou Peng's expression, Zhang Chengyue said, "Sect Leader, I'll take command here. You should go to the Misty Peak first. Fifth Uncle and Miss are both there. You can only take command of the situation if you go there."

Ou Peng nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll leave this place to you. Chengyue, if things don't work out, retreat to the Misty Peak. As long as there's life, there's hope."

"Yes, Sect Leader. I understand."

After saying that, Ou Peng looked at the stalemate of the battle and returned to the Misty Peak.

Along the way, Ou Peng saw many disciples with weapons lying in ambush by the side of the road and behind the rocks, waiting for the enemy to attack. Looking at the nervous expressions of many female disciples, Ou Peng shook his head slightly.

As he was walking, Ou Peng suddenly saw a figure that he had almost forgotten. He waved his hand and said, "Zhang Xiaohu, come here for a moment."

"Sect Leader." Zhang Xiaohu walked over quickly.

Ou Peng asked, "Zhang Xiaohu, why are you here?"

Zhang Xiaohu said in surprise, "I heard from the Sect Leader that the third generation disciples are required to set up a defense in the mountains. So I came. My master and the others are in front with the Sect Leader."

"Oh …" Ou Peng realized that although Zhang Xiaohu was old, he had just joined the Sect and could only be considered a third generation disciple. Moreover, his martial arts were indeed weak. If he fought the enemy in the front line, he would be killed within a few moves. So, he smiled and said, "Didn't the Sect Leader choose the first and second rank disciples?

Why didn't you leave? "

"Sect Leader." Zhang Xiaohu was a little excited. At this time, Ou Peng still remembered him. How could he not be grateful?

He said, "My talent is limited. It's better not to compete with those children. Besides, I have the strength to fight. I can contribute to the Misty School when the Misty School is in danger. I'm willing to live and die with the Misty School. I'd rather die together with the Misty School than drag out an ignoble existence!"

Ou Peng nodded and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Good. However, your martial arts are indeed weak and you're dragging out an ignoble existence. It's not necessarily a bad thing for a hero."

After saying that, he left Zhang Xiaohu, who was still pondering the meaning of his words, and went up the peak.

On the Misty Peak, the autumn noon sun was still scorching. Even with the whistling mountain wind, it still made people feel uncomfortable.

Many family members and disciples of the Misty School had already gathered here. Seeing Ou Peng come up, the Sect Leader's wife, who had never asked about the affairs of the Sect, took the initiative to ask quietly, "How is it?

What's the situation down there? "

Ou Peng smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry. It's just a clown. How can he be a match for our Misty School?"

The Sect Leader's wife smiled and did not ask any more questions.

At this time, Ou Yan walked over and said, "Big Brother."

Ou Peng looked at Ou Yan kindly and said, "Yan 'er, you don't blame Big Brother, right?"

Ou Yan was extremely intelligent. How could she not understand Ou Peng's meaning? She smiled and said, "Big Brother, Yan 'er has lived under Big Brother's protection since I was young. Today, when the Sect is in danger, I should go through thick and thin with the entire Misty School."

Ou Peng smiled and said, "Yan 'er has such feelings. Our Misty School's danger is not for weak girls like you to bear.

However, you're the sister of the Sect Leader of the Misty School. How can the Righteous Alliance let you go?

If we let you go, the Righteous Alliance will definitely send more people to search for you. It's not safe at all. On the contrary, Big Brother and the others won't be able to escape. Therefore, rather than leaving you outside, it's better to let you stay by Big Brother's side. You don't have the strength to truss a chicken. Even Zhang San of the Righteous Alliance can't force himself on you. "

"I understand Big Brother. You don't have to explain."

Ou Yan's face was obedient. However, her slightly thin body under the hot sun and the mountain wind made people feel pity for her.

Without waiting for Ou Yan to leave, Liu Qingyang and Old Fifth Liu came over again. Holding a large axe, they arrogantly said, "Third Brother, how can you let me go up the mountain?

Rather than waiting here, it's better to let me go down the mountain and kill a few Righteous Alliance thieves with Shi Niu and the others! "

Ou Peng smiled and said, "Old Fifth, I'll need you later. Look, our family members and the disciples of Mingcui Hall need your protection. If it weren't for the fact that your martial arts are much better than Shi Niu's, how could I let you take on such a heavy responsibility?"

Old Fifth Liu opened his mouth and said, "I knew Third Brother wouldn't be biased. Don't worry. As long as I'm here with this pair of axes, that Zhang San won't be able to take even half a step into Misty Peak."

After saying that, he carried his axe and walked to the mountain path, making a 'one man can hold back ten thousand men' stance.
