Chapter - 76 Decoy Deployment On the Cliff (6) (1/2)
Not knowing how many powerful enemies were gathered in this place, she remained immobile behind the rock.
”She certainly caused us a lot of pain, but the Quanzhen Sect is always compassionate and merciful towards others. Let's give her the option of repenting.”
”The 'Sage of Tranquility' has always had a tender heart,” Zhu Cong said while laughing. ”It's not surprising that Master always said that you can reach the Way easily!”
Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen Sect, had seven disciples, whose reputations are well established in the world of martial arts. The first in rank was Ma Yu, called 'Scarlet Sun', the second Tan Chuduan, called 'Eternal Truth', followed by Liu Chuxuan, called 'Eternal Life', Qiu Chuji, called 'Eternal Spring', Wang Chuyi, called 'Jade Sun', Hao Datong, called 'Infinite Peace', and finally the last disciple, Sun Bu'Er, was called 'Sage of Tranquility', and had been the wife of Ma Yu before she entered the Taoist religion.
”Brother Tan,” Han Xiaoying asked, ”what do you think about it?”
”Her crimes deserve an extreme punishment!” replied Nan Xiren.
”Brother Tan,” Zhu Cong said, ”of late you've made much progress in your technique the 'Finger Calligrapher'. When this evil one arrives, will you give us a demonstration?”
”It's better to let Brother Wang show us his technique the 'Foot of Iron',” Nan Xiren said. ”One kick and he will send her down the cliff where she will lose both body and soul.”
Among the Seven Masters of the Quanzhen Sect, Qiu Chuji was the most well known, then came Wang Chuyi, 'Jade Sun'. Once, on a bet, he stood close to an abyss on one foot, swaying back and forth in a violent wind that blew his large sleeves wildly. Several heroes of Shandong and Hebei watched this event and were astounded. This exploit earned him the nickname of 'Foot of Iron'. He had lived as a recluse in an underground cave for nine years, dedicating himself to the practice of martial arts. Even Qiu Chuji appeared to much admire his kung fu. He had dedicated a poem to him, in which he told of the 'Nine summers standing in the sun, three winters laying down in the snow' celebrating the power of his neigong.
All of this conversation between them had been studied in advance. Only Ke Zhen'E, who had previously spoken to the 'Twin Killers of the Dark Winds', remained silent, so that Mei Chaofeng wouldn't recognize him by his voice.
'Iron Corpse' was more and more astonished. ”Apparently, the Seven Masters of the Quanzhen Sect are here! I am not really certain of being able to beat a single Taoist, how would I withstand the seven united! If they discover me, I am dead!”
At that moment, the moon illuminated the summit clearly. Zhu Cong said,
”This night, black clouds cover the sky, one can't even see the fingers of his hand! Everybody be watchful so that the witch doesn't take advantage of the darkness to escape!”
”It's a good thing that it is a black night,” Mei Chaofeng reassured herself, ”otherwise they would have discovered me already. I give thanks to the Heaven and Earth, so long as the moon doesn't appear!”
Guo Jing had not stopped looking at Hua Zheng. He suddenly saw that she had opened her eyes. Delighted to see her regain consciousness, he made signals with his hands hoping that she would remain calm. However, the girl had also seen him, and yelled, ”Help…Help!”
”Don't say anything!” Guo Jing shouted.
