Chapter 464: Jinniang's Revenge, a Surprise Attack!
Li Qingluo leaned against the doorframe, looking down the mountain with some worry.
Perhaps she should also go take a look today.
But when the plan was spoken, Jinniang was the first to object.
"You can borrow some of my people; I guarantee I'll bring them all back unharmed. But you don't need to go."
Jinniang said this and then looked at the black-clad person who had been constantly by Li Qingluo's side these past two days.
Although he wore a black mask and refused to show his true face, Jinniang had already secretly guessed his identity in her heart.
Since he values Luo'er so much, how could I repeatedly bring Luo'er into danger?
Moreover, going to rescue A Duo is also something this master of mine ought to do personally.
Luo'er being able to borrow so many people from me already satisfies me greatly.
"Miss, don't worry."
"If they go and still can't rescue A Duo, then this Cloud Valley truly is hard to deal with; we'll have to plan for the long term."
Li Qingluo turned her head to look at Que'er.
Clearly this girl's neck is stretched longer than mine.
Wait, when did she also start caring about these things?
Is she worried about the person, or worried about those who followed Jinniang to Cloud Valley today?
Li Qingluo stared at Que'er with a half-smile.
Que'er felt her heart crawl under the gaze: "Miss, what exactly are you looking at? Do I have flower spots on my face?"
Li Qingluo sat up straight and asked: "How old are you this year?"
Que'er: "Nineteen, Miss."
Actually she's a year older than me?
Li Qingluo thought of Deng Mama, and a sour feeling welled up in her heart.
"Que'er, if you have someone you like, remember to tell me."
"I'll go make the decision for you."
Li Qingluo narrowed her eyes and smiled faintly.
Que'er gave a dry laugh: "Miss, you suddenly saying this is quite frightening."
"By the way, the pits behind the mountain have all been dug. Should we wait for Sect Leader Jinniang to return before burying them?"
They are all the disciples of the Witch Moon Sect who died miserably, prepared to be buried behind the mountain.
Li Qingluo: "Just bury them directly."
"When Sect Leader Jinniang returns, we'll burn paper together."
However, Jinniang and her group never returned all night.
Li Qingluo couldn't sleep, so she got up and looked at Duan Rongshi, who was making do on the bed: "A Shi, let's go take a look!"
Duan Rongshi knew she had tossed all night.
Hearing her finally speak, he slowly rose: "Come."
At the foot of the Witch Moon Sect mountain, Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi had just stepped down the stairs when they saw San, who was rushing back covered in blood.
Li Qingluo saw him drenched in blood and was startled.
"What happened to you?"
"Is anyone injured or dead?"
Li Qingluo anxiously couldn't catch her breath for a moment.
She could only grab Duan Rongshi's hand, her gaze fixed tightly on the lone returning San.
San: "Miss, I'm back to report."
"We need to leave MiaoJiang quickly."
Li Qingluo's brow jumped violently, knowing they must have caused trouble.
Although she had many doubts, Li Qingluo still chose to believe San.
She and Duan Rongshi hurriedly followed him back up the mountain, quickly packed their belongings, and the group prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Li Qingluo threw the candle into the pile of paper money stacked high in the front clearing.
Watching the flames shoot up instantly, she then tossed the paper money so it fluttered all over the sky.
"May the miserable disciples of the Witch Moon Sect all find smooth passage to the next life."
"Witch Moon Sect, the future is long; farewell."
After one last look at the silent mountain villa with only the roaring fire burning, the group hurried down the mountain in the dark.
On the way, San finally explained what they had done today that forced them to flee MiaoJiang overnight.
It turned out that Sect Leader Jinniang, leading her twenty-five people, did not go straight to Cloud Valley to rescue A Duo, but instead launched a surprise attack on the Five Poisons Sect.
After throwing the Five Poisons Sect into chaos, they suddenly withdrew and attacked the Union Harmony Sect.
The Union Harmony Sect was already in disarray because Sect Leader Ji Jinxue had been crippled, and being ambushed by Jinniang's people was like being caught off guard.
After they reacted, Jinniang led her people away from the Union Harmony Sect.
Finally, they attacked Cloud Valley.
Before reaching Cloud Valley, the news that the Witch Moon Sect Sect Leader Jinniang had brought martial arts masters had already arrived at Cloud Valley.
These major sects had long been angered by the Witch Moon Sect's actions to the point of near explosion.
Although they were the first to collude and use underhanded tactics to slaughter the entire Witch Moon Sect,
the Witch Moon Sect also retaliated by wiping out dozens of people from each of their sects.
Among these people were not a few elders and mainstays of the sects, and even the Union Harmony Sect essentially lost a sect leader!
I heard that although Ji Jin Xue didn't die, she also ended up crippled and was carried back to the Union Harmony Sect.
She even forbade the Union Harmony Sect from sending people to the Witch Moon Sect for revenge.
It seemed as if the Witch Moon Sect possessed something extremely terrifying, such that anyone who went there would never return.
Finally she said, "The Witch Moon Sect simply has no treasures at all!"
Moreover, they released a monster capable of devouring living people.
That was a giant poisonous beast!
Its mouth could swallow a whole person, and blades and spears could not pierce it, making it impossible to kill.
Furthermore, their sect harbored countless martial arts masters!
Especially, there were those two double evils, one black and one white.
The female one was the DaLiang County Lord.
The male one was clad entirely in black, wearing a black mask, his identity unrecognizable.
Both struck with great decisiveness, and were cruel and merciless, utterly lacking humanity!
At a glance, these masters were clearly foreigners; as a result, they ran rampant in the MiaoJiang territory, and even turned around to take revenge for the Witch Moon Sect.
Such conduct truly aroused the wrath of the several major sects to an infuriating degree!
It appears the Witch Moon Sect has no intention of maintaining a foothold in all of MiaoJiang, daring to rely on foreign forces.
Now, the several major sects hate the Witch Moon Sect so much they grit their teeth.
Cloud Valley, having heard the wind, had long been prepared; if the Witch Moon Sect dared to come raid them, they would surely give them a taste of something fierce!
However, Jin Yun had no intention of confronting Cloud Valley head‑on.
She sent the few assassins most skilled at hiding their tracks straight to Cloud Valley's prison to steal A Duo out.
Then she also set fire to Cloud Valley's prison.
When that side erupted in chaos, she then launched a sneak attack and fought her way out.
Naturally, the people of those several major sects could not be killed off today.
Her revenge has only just begun.
Moreover, she would certainly not let them have an easy time!
Jin Yun wanted those several major sects to be thrown into chaos, never to know peace!
Soon, Cloud Valley discovered that the people Jin Yun brought were each highly skilled in martial arts.
Relying solely on those female disciples of Cloud Valley, they could not possibly match them.
Moreover, ordinary poisonous insects could not even approach their bodies.
Fortunately, every member of Cloud Valley is an expert in poison arts.
When Cloud Valley had mustered its strength and intended to clash head‑on with them, Jin Yun suddenly ordered a withdrawal.
She would not needlessly sacrifice the people of Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi, so she led her forces back to slaughter the Five Poisons Sect again.
The Five Poisons Sect was once again caught off guard and slaughtered……
"Although the several major sects' countermeasures are all formidable, and they keep sending out wave after wave of masters, our people have poison‑avoiding sachets and the aid of Sect Leader Jin Yun, so in the end the martial prowess of our twenty‑five people still holds a slight edge."
"We continually provoke the three major sects, each time killing a dozen or so of them before withdrawing."
"In the end we made them so weary they couldn't even prepare in time before we dealt them a dirty blow again. Especially the Five Poisons Sect—twice they were slaughtered with no chance to respond, and we didn't expect to strike back with a returning spear."
"After going back and forth a few times, our subordinates see that they are not far from going mad."
"Now the several major sects have sent people out to gather information from the other sects; it looks like they intend to unite again against the Witch Moon Sect."
"That is why Sect Leader Jin Yun says we can no longer stay in MiaoJiang; we must withdraw swiftly."
"Otherwise, we might find it hard to leave smoothly."
