Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018: Vajra Devil Subduing Formation

The Songshan Sect, as the premier sect in Yuzhou, was not represented by only Zuo Ci as a master.

In the sect, there were also ten Elders at the Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm and one Grand Elder who had been in seclusion without emerging.

Although all the elite disciples had been captured, there were still over a thousand disciples from the Outer Sect.

The reason Long Fei came here was largely due to the Nascent Soul, as he wanted to clarify the situation of the Songshan Sect’s Patriarch Bodhidharma.

He wanted to figure out if he was a native of this world or if he had come from Long Fei’s own world.

Li Gan had once spent some time as an Outer Sect disciple at the Songshan Sect along with his brother Li Xuan.

Li Xuan, due to his exceptional talent, was discovered by the Sect Leader and was advanced into the Inner Gate.

Li Gan, with his poor talent, felt hopeless in the sect and voluntarily left, wandering the jianghu for some time.

Only afterwards did he join Wang Tianba, becoming a promising water bandit.

He briefed Long Fei, Chu Feng, and Lin Shanshan about the Songshan Sect while they were rapidly flying on the back of a giant eagle and soon saw the towering and undulating mountain range.

This place was the same as the outside, also located to the east of Luoyang, the capital city of Yuzhou.

The highest peak outside was just over a kilometer, but here it was ten times that height.

In this world, due to the abundance of spiritual energy, the atmosphere was higher than that of the outside world. Therefore, standing at an altitude of ten thousand meters, one didn’t feel anything unusual.

If it were in that world, one would have long been overcome by the lack of oxygen, the cold, and heavy snow cover.

Songshan was among the Five Sacred Mountains, lying across East to West, majestically towering over the Central Plains.

It did not have the peril of West Great Mountain, the loftiness of Mount Tai, the spirituality of Southern Hengshan, or the boundlessness of Northern Hengshan.

But it had its own moderation, touching on a bit of each aspect.

Long Fei gazed down at the peaks, musing that this world was merely the mirror image of the outside world, with positive and negative sides.

Aside from the difference in size, the other geographical features and mountain trends were virtually carved out of the same mold.

The mountain was mainly composed of two parts: Shaoshi Mountain and Taishi Mountain.

Taishi Mountain had thirty-six peaks, and the Songshan Sect was situated on top of the tallest main peak.

In the outside world, Shaoshi Mountain was home to the Shaolin Temple.

Long Fei glanced at Shaoshi Mountain and saw smoke from incense curling up, a multitude of atmospheres, and asked Li Gan curiously, "What sect is on that mountain?"

Li Gan replied, "That’s Heavenly Empress Temple, a royal monastery, where the wife of Emperor Yu, Lady Tushan, is worshiped."

In Great Xia Country, although the Daoist Sect was revered, other religions were not excluded.

The biggest characteristic of Daoism was governance through inaction: the sovereign acting through non-action, lightly taxing and conscripting, and sharing benefits with the people.

As a result, the Royal Family was weakened, and the powerful clans ruled.

However, in Great Xia, it seemed that some Confucianist thought had been absorbed.

For example, Governor Zhang Yannian of Yuzhou was a man of Confucianism.

Long Fei chuckled to himself, thinking that when Patriarch Bodhidharma came to this world, it must have been difficult to establish a sect here.

In this world, there were very few who believed in Buddhism.

In the end, he was forced to practice Buddhist techniques with Daoist arts, embarking on a unique path.

The group didn’t have time to visit the Heavenly Empress Temple and landed together on the main peak of Taishi Mountain.

The many halls of the Songshan Sect were stacked one after another, scattered along the mountain range, and the scale was quite grand indeed.

While termed a second-rate sect, its ambiance, however, resembled that of a first-rate sect.

This place was among the Five Sacred Mountains, a Daoist Blessed Land, naturally abundant in spiritual energy, no less than what the Yin Yang Sect currently had in the Mount Tai Range.

As soon as the four of them arrived, the Songshan Sect above sensed their presence.

The bronze bell boomed and vibrated with a buzzing sound.

All the birds and beasts on the entire mountain were startled, as if facing a formidable enemy.

On the square in front of the Songshan Sect’s main gate, people immediately soared into the air.

They were all individuals with graying hair, each holding a longsword, their robes flowing elegantly, followed by a group of disciples.

After landing, their longswords were simultaneously pointed at Long Fei and his party.

Among the crowd, several disciples turned their heads back, their faces flushed red, not daring to look at Long Fei.

They were the Songshan Sect disciples Long Fei had just released; Li Xuan took some away, some went back to their homes, and about five or six ran back.

Here were their brothers, their families, and they couldn’t easily disentangle themselves.

An elder glared at Long Fei and shouted coldly, "Scoundrel, I didn’t expect that without us seeking revenge, you would come knocking on our door!"

"You killed our Sect Leader, captured our disciples; how could our sect tolerate you!"

"Audacious miscreant, accept your death promptly!"

The old man’s anger was intense as he stared and fumed at Long Fei and his companions.

Long Fei scanned the crowd, stepped forward with his hands behind his back, and said indifferently to the group, "Everyone calm down, no need to get so agitated. We are here on an imperial mission to capture those who resist the Imperial Court. It has been ascertained that the support for the Yellow River water bandits comes from your Songshan Sect. Your Sect Leader has already been executed, and now it’s your turn. If you know what’s good for you, surrender and leave immediately, and I can spare your lives. If you fail to see reason, there’s only death awaiting you."

Long Fei first pinned the label of rebellion on the Songshan Sect, raised the banner of the royal family, and then he was legitimately entitled to eradicate this place.

The ten Sect Leaders of the Songshan Sect were so furious their eyes turned red; bullying could not go this far.

To kill is to kill, yet they also sought to crush their spirit.

However, there was no denying that the Songshan Sect’s support of water bandits was a confirmed fact; there was nothing to explain.

The only explanation was that they were following the orders of the Third Prince, carrying out imperial orders as the Songshan Sect.

An elder indignantly said, "I don’t care on whose orders you act, but you’ve gone too far. Not content with killing our Sect Leader, you even want to destroy our foundation. Even if we die, we won’t let you take one step into the Songshan Sect."

"That’s right, you few can’t turn the heavens upside down."

An elder shouted loudly, his longsword pointing to the sky, and bellowed at the disciples behind him, "Inescapable Net, Vajra Devil Subduing Formation!"

Disciples of the Songshan Sect who had not yet appeared acted swiftly, numbering in thousands, they pulled out their swords and completely encircled Long Fei and his party.

"This formation is not bad; I like it."

Chu Feng rubbed his hands excitedly, suggesting to Long Fei, "How about I take care of these people?"

Long Fei chuckled lightly, "Why the hurry, their trump card hasn’t even been revealed yet!"

"Trump card?"

Chu Feng frowned.

The surrounding disciples quickly changed formation, led by the Ten Great Elders, they raised a scripture into the air.

Li Gan shuddered, "Could this be their sect’s treasured Vajra Devil Subduing Scripture?"

"Take action!"

A Great Elder shouted, and a cohort of disciples raised their longswords to the sky, each drawing a golden chain of condensed spell scripts from above.

A chain of order ripped out from the Vajra Devil Subduing Scripture, turning the sky golden, so bright that it was almost blinding.

A thousand people meant a thousand chains of script, each imbued with mana.

It was like a giant golden net, trapping Long Fei and his companions inside.

A Great Elder laughed coldly, "Heaven had a path you did not take, now you’ve barged into the gates of hell. Today, you shall witness the true strength of the Songshan Sect; even if you have reached the Nascent Soul Realm, how could you escape death!"
