Cuiwei Temple is located on Cuiwei Mountain, nestled among the mountains. Cuiwei Mountain boasts beautiful scenery and is one of the most famous scenic spots in the world.

　　Cuiwei Mountain is not far from the mountain where Dachan Temple is located. Dachan Temple and Cuiwei Nunnery are neighbors, both Buddhist temples. The former is where male monks practice, and the latter is where female nuns practice. Both temples are very popular, and devout men and women often go there to offer incense and make wishes.

　　Cuiwei Nunnery has a history of over a thousand years. As an ancient Buddhist temple, it is also a famous martial arts sect. The current abbess, Master Suyin, became famous twenty years ago. Her palm techniques and body techniques are unparalleled in the martial arts world. At the same time, Master Suyin is also a famous beauty in the martial arts world and is known as the “beautiful nun”.

　　Master Suyin had over a hundred disciples, ranging from teenage nuns to nuns in their fifties and sixties, all of whom were skilled in martial arts.

　　After leaving Yunzhou City, Miaoyu introduced her sect to Feng Jianqing and the others.

　　Before they knew it, Cuiwei Mountain came into view. The mountain was lush and green, with hundreds of flowers in bloom. A gentle breeze carried a faint fragrance, which was intoxicating. Cuiwei Mountain was indeed beautiful and majestic, with unique scenery.

　　”Wow, what a blessed place! It can even rival our Diancang Mountain!” Li Yuyao couldn’t help but praise, and the others nodded with smiles.

　　Just as the group was about to reach the foot of the mountain, their horse suddenly stopped moving forward, circling back and forth and neighing.

　　”Huh…”

　　”There’s a murderous aura!”

　　”Everyone be careful!”

　　The six women put away their lazy attitude, focused their attention, and looked around.

　　At that moment, a “whoosh whoosh whoosh” sound rang out, and arrows flew down from all directions, whistling through the air, heading straight for the six women of Kazami Haru!

　　The six women drew their weapons, their swords gleaming as they deflected the incoming arrows one by one.

　　Kazami Haru sensed that the arrow was quite powerful; it seemed the archer was no ordinary archer, but rather a top-tier expert in the martial arts world.

　　She raised an eyebrow and glanced around, then saw soldiers in armor rushing out from both sides of the mountain path, each wielding a sword, and quickly surrounding her.

　　The leader was a middle-aged man, holding a long sword, riding a horse, his sharp eyes sweeping over the six women, and he coldly shouted: “Attack! Kill them!”

　　”Kill!” Hundreds of armored soldiers, fearless of death, charged towards Feng Jianqing and the other six women!

　　”Second Uncle, it’s you!” Ye Ruiyun looked at the middle-aged man not far away, both shocked and angry. It turned out that this person was Ye Taixuan.

　　Ye Taixuan watched the two sides fight, smiled coldly, and said to Ye Ruiyun, “Ruiyun, you’ve now sided with the Kun Kingdom and are helping outsiders to deal with your second uncle?”

　　Ye Ruiyun swung her sword and felled a soldier, angrily saying, “Second Uncle, how dare you bite back!” It was clearly the other party who had sided with Xia Yushu, yet he turned around and accused her. This person was utterly shameless.

　　Ye Taixuan said, “Your father spent his whole life fighting against the Da Gan Dynasty. Now that the Da Gan Dynasty has been replaced by the Da Xia Dynasty, I have finally fulfilled your father’s long-cherished wish. Instead of helping your second uncle, you ran to the enemy country of Da Xia. Tell me, do you have any conscience at all?”

　　”Sister Ruiyun, don’t waste your breath on this shameless old thief!” Leng Shuxue leaped up, stomped her feet, and crushed the heads of several armored soldiers several times. She pointed her slender sword and charged straight at Ye Taixuan.

　　”Jingyun!” Ye Taixuan called out calmly.

　　Suddenly, a young man in green leaped down from a pine tree. While still in mid-air, he slashed several times with his long sword, and sharp blades flashed out, sweeping towards Leng Shuxue in a fan shape.

　　Leng Shuxue flicked her longsword, unleashing the Phantom Sword Technique. The sword shadows multiplied, and with several crisp clangs, she shattered the opponent’s blade.

　　He shattered the opponent’s blade light, but his own arm felt numb, and his internal energy surged, almost causing him to be injured.

　　She thought to herself, “Wow, that’s impressive!” and quickly flew back, landing on the horse’s back.

　　Ye Jingyun landed in front of Ye Taixuan, the Golden Crow Blade in his hand shining brightly in the morning sun, dazzlingly bright, pointing directly at Kazami Haruka and the other women.

　　Ye Ruiyun was even more furious when she saw Ye Jingyun. She pointed her long sword at him and said, “Jingyun, you actually aided and abetted evil!”

　　When Ye Jingyun saw his cousin, his eyes flickered, and he dared not meet her gaze. Instead, he pointed his long sword at Feng Jianqing and the others, continuously unleashing his sword energy. A powerful aura rose from his body, and a thick layer of true energy appeared around him, enveloping his entire body.

　　At this moment, Kazami Haru and the others were still entangled with those armored soldiers. These soldiers were not only highly skilled but also well-trained. Although their strength was far inferior to Kazami Haru and the others, they had the advantage of numbers, and the six women were unable to eliminate them all in one go.

　　”Ha!”

　　Ye Jingyun let out a low shout, and his whole body transformed into a streak of light, suddenly rushing towards Leng Shuxue, who was closest to him.

　　Leng Shuxue leaped into the air, dodging his fierce attack. With a “whoosh,” her steed was cleaved in two by Ye Jingyun’s longsword and fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere!

　　Leng Shuxue moved headfirst, her long sword flashing out streaks of sword shadows, her aura shooting out and enveloping Ye Jingyun below.

　　Ye Jingyun remained fearless. He slightly raised the Golden Crow Blade in his hand, breaking the opponent’s sword move. Then, with a surge of internal energy, a crisp “clang” was heard, and Leng Shuxue’s longsword was directly cut in half. She was sent flying by his powerful internal energy.

　　”Uh…” Leng Shuxue groaned and flew several feet away. She staggered a few steps before finally regaining her footing. She threw down the broken sword in her hand, clutched her chest, and felt her blood surging and her internal organs shaking. She had already suffered internal injuries.

　　Seeing Ye Jingyun charge at Leng Shuxue again, Ye Ruiyun immediately flew over and blocked her path, pointing her long sword at Ye Jingyun and coldly shouting, “You beast, do you know what you’re doing?!”

　　Ye Jingyun said, “I was just following my elder brother’s orders…”

　　”Jingyun, wake up! Xia Yushu is not a good person at all!”

　　”I only know that my elder brother treats me very well.” Ye Jingyun would never listen to Ye Ruiyun’s words. He leaped over her and pounced on Leng Shuxue again.

　　”You beast, if you have the guts, then cut me down first!” Ye Ruiyun leaped up, his long sword falling towards Ye Jingyun.

　　With a crisp clang and sparks flying, Ye Ruiyun’s longsword was chipped by Ye Jingyun’s Golden Crow Blade, and Ye Ruiyun fell to the ground, facing Ye Jingyun once again.

　　Ye Jingyun looked at Ye Ruiyun and shouted, “Sister! Don’t force me—”

　　Ye Ruiyun’s eyes were also resolute as she stared coldly at him and said, “If you want to kill my sisters, it’s the same as killing me. Since that’s the case, then bring it on!”

　　Ye Jingyun stared at her, his eyes suddenly turning ruthless. A red light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted, “Ah… Kill!”

　　As soon as he finished speaking, he began to spin rapidly, transforming into a ball of dark light that hurtled straight towards Ye Ruiyun!

　　Ye Ruiyun knew that he had received Ye Hongyi’s true teachings and possessed profound internal strength. With her current skill, she was no match for him. She dared not confront him head-on and could only activate the Gale Blade Technique to deflect his force with each strike. After several strikes, her longsword was cut in two by the Golden Crow Blade and was no longer usable.

　　At the same time, Leng Shuxue also flew over and joined forces with Ye Ruiyun, but dared not get too close. She waved her sleeves repeatedly, using the “Flowing Cloud Iron Sleeve” technique to deal with Ye Jingyun’s fierce attacks.

　　The scene was filled with flying sand and stones, and the surrounding vegetation was drawn in by the powerful force. Upon contact with Ye Jingyun’s sword strike, the sand and stones were instantly reduced to dust and scattered throughout the sky.

　　At this moment, Kazami Haru and the others finally killed the armored soldiers around them, freeing up their hands.

　　Seeing Ye Jingyun’s incredible prowess, even Leng Shuxue and Ye Ruiyun, who were fighting together, were at a disadvantage. Feng Jianqing immediately flew over and shouted, “Sisters, retreat quickly!”

　　Leng Shuxue and Ye Ruiyun immediately retreated, their footwork becoming much more disordered than before, clearly indicating they hadn’t gained any advantage.

　　Ye Jingyun did not pursue, but watched Feng Jianqing approach, tightening his grip on the Golden Crow Blade, as if facing a formidable enemy, and becoming fully vigilant.

　　Ye Jingyun lost to Feng Jianqing at the Shaoyue Sect’s martial arts contest for marriage last time, but he was not convinced.

　　Now that he has mastered the “Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Demonic Art”, his martial arts have reached a new level. At this time, Feng Jianqing does not have the Panlong Sword in hand, and he believes that he can definitely defeat his opponent.

　　Ye Jingyun, in particular, believed that Bai Xiaosheng’s ranking was problematic, and that his martial arts skills were at least above Feng Jianqing’s, and even comparable to Qi Fei’s.

　　”Do you dare to fight me to the death?” Ye Jingyun stared coldly at Feng Jianqing.

　　”What a spirited young man!” Feng Jianqing praised, a smile playing on his lips. “You are no match for me. For Ruiyun’s sake, I will spare your life today. But next time we meet, I will not be so polite to you.”

　　”Who says I’m no match for you!” Ye Jingyun retorted angrily.

　　At that moment, Ye Taixuan’s voice came from behind: “Jingyun, let’s go!”

　　”Father, I…” Ye Jingyun really wanted to fight Feng Jianqing again.

　　”Let’s go!” Ye Taixuan urged.

　　At this moment, all the armored soldiers he brought had been killed. With the strength of the six women, Kazemi Haruka, they were more than capable of keeping him and Ye Jingyun alive here. If they did not leave, the consequences would be dire.

　　Ye Jingyun glanced at Feng Jianqing, then at Ye Ruiyun not far behind Feng Jianqing, and finally fixed his gaze on Li Yuyao, his eyes revealing a hint of admiration and infatuation.

　　He suddenly turned around, lightly touched the ground with his feet, and landed on a horse. Together with Ye Taixuan, they galloped towards the mountain path ahead and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

　　The six women watched the two leave, then looked away, composed themselves, and Feng Jianqing asked, “Is everyone alright?”

　　”It’s nothing serious,” Leng Shuxue said.

　　”I have medicine here.” Miao Yu took out a small white jade porcelain bottle from her bosom.

　　None of them were seriously injured, except for Leng Shuxue and Ye Ruiyun, who suffered minor internal injuries. However, after taking the healing medicine given by Miaoyu, they recovered quickly.

　　Feng Jianqing said with a solemn expression, “Xia Yushu definitely won’t just send these people to intercept us. I’m sure there are more experts waiting for us ahead. Everyone be careful!”

　　None of them dared to be careless, and they continued on their way step by step. Before long, they arrived at the foot of Cuiwei Mountain. From there, they could no longer ride horses and had to hike up the mountain.

　　The group tied the horses to trees at the foot of the mountain, allowing them to graze nearby without running away. Then, the six women began their ascent.

　　After walking only a few steps, Kazami Haru stopped, and the five girls behind her also stopped immediately. They knew that Kazami Haru’s senses were far superior to those of ordinary people, and that she must have discovered something, so they immediately became alert.

　　Kazami Haru said coldly to an ancient pine tree in front of her, “Sneaking around like this is too conspicuous. Do you dare to show your face?”

　　”Hehe…” an old voice came over, “This little brat does have some skill.”

　　In the next instant, four black figures leaped down from the ancient pine tree. Three old men and one old woman stood under the pine tree, lined up in a row, all with their hands behind their backs, coldly staring at the six women.

　　”So you are the renowned ‘Four Elders of Qiankun’. This junior greets you.” Feng Jianqing glanced at the four people. These four were the four guardian experts accompanying Xia Yushu, and also disciples personally taught by Jiang Yuangong. The three elders were the Old Man of Dongsheng, the Old Man of Nanshan, and the Old Ancestor of Xitian, while the old woman was the Old Woman of Beihai. They were very famous in Xirong Kingdom, and now, as guardian experts of the Great Xia Dynasty, their reputation had spread far and wide. Not only were they highly skilled in martial arts, but they were also ruthless and extremely cruel, tearing people to pieces at will.

　　The old man from Dongsheng stroked his beard and said, “You girls, if you want to go to Cuiwei Nunnery, you’ll have to get past us first.”

　　Kazami Haru thought to herself, “Xia Yushu is indeed cunning. He set up numerous checkpoints along the way, but instead of sending all his experts to surround us at once, he arranged for his men to block us multiple times. This way, he can tire us out more and more, and then with a little effort, he can eliminate us with absolute certainty. Moreover, he won’t lose too many experts in the process…”

　　Kazami Haru was extremely intelligent and figured out Xia Yushu’s thoughts, but she missed one point: Xia Yushu also wanted to capture them alive so that he could unleash his tyranny, humiliate the Kun Kingdom, and even use their bodies to reward his subordinates’ experts, which would be a win-win situation.

　　Kazami Haru sneered and said, “We just beat those two scoundrels, Ye Taixuan and Ye Jingyun, to a pulp. Now you’re coming here to die. You’re all so old, don’t you feel ashamed? I hope you won’t run away later.”

　　The old woman from Beihai sneered, “What a sharp-tongued little girl! I’ll cut your tongue off later.”

　　Zuo Meihong said, “Four seniors, you are all renowned figures in the martial arts world. How can you so blatantly bully us juniors? Aren’t you afraid of being ridiculed by the martial arts community?”

　　The old man from Nanshan chuckled and said, “We just love bullying the younger generation. How about it, are you convinced or not?”

　　”You…” The six women were speechless. It seemed that these old geezers had become cunning and had no sense of shame at all.

　　Miao Yu was secretly anxious. The other party was obviously trying to stall for time. They could stall indefinitely, but she couldn’t wait. She didn’t know what the situation was like at Cuiwei Nunnery, or whether her master and the others had perished… Thinking of this, Miao Yu shouted, “In that case, please enlighten me, seniors!”

　　As he spoke, he leaped onto the ancient pine tree and then flew down from above to pounce on the old man from Dongsheng.

　　When Feng Jianqing and the others saw Miaoyu make a move, they quickly joined in as well, afraid that their sister would suffer a loss.

　　In an instant, the two sides clashed.

　　Miao Yu fights the Old Man of Dongsheng alone, Feng Jianqing and the Old Man of Nanshan fight together, Leng Shuxue and Ye Ruiyun join forces to deal with the Old Ancestor of Xitian, and Zuo Meihong and Li Yuyao work together to fight the Old Woman of Beihai.

　　All of them were top-tier experts at the Innate Realm. The Four Elders of Qiankun cultivated the “Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Demonic Art,” a martial art with extremely strange techniques. Apart from Feng Jianqing and Miaoyu, the other girls found it difficult to fight them one-on-one.

　　In an instant, the two sides exchanged moves, and the sounds of exploding qi filled the air, destroying the surrounding vegetation.

　　Although Feng Jianqing was confident in defeating the old man of Nanshan, she did not want to end the battle too quickly. She wanted to use him to figure out the details of the “Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Demon Art” and the opponent’s martial arts style. This way, when she faced Xia Yushu and others who had practiced this martial art in the future, she would not be caught off guard and would have a greater chance of winning.

　　Kazemi Haru channeled her inner energy and focused her power into her eyes. The movements of the old man from Nanshan immediately became clear. She saw the old man clench his fist and strike quickly. Suddenly, halfway through the attack, the old man’s arm grew three feet and appeared directly in front of her face!

　　”I see!” After observing several times, Kazami Haru finally saw it clearly. It turned out that the other party had used some method to skip the distance between them. The fist appeared directly from one end to the other end, three feet away. The middle part seemed to not exist for them, but it still existed for others.

　　Although Kazami Haru didn’t understand what method the other party was using, she had seen through the changes. In this way, she could at least take precautions and not be caught off guard.

　　Kazami Haru thought to herself, “Impressive!” This demonic art was indeed strange!

　　She neither dodged nor evaded. As the opponent’s fist came, a layer of red and blue true energy shield appeared on her body. The opponent’s fist hit the shield, and with a muffled “bang”, the shield shattered. The dark light on the opponent’s fist disappeared, and the force on it also vanished.

　　Kazami Haru seized the opportunity and immediately launched a counterattack. A ball of bright moonlight appeared on her chest, and she quickly flew towards her opponent.

　　Knowing the danger, the old man from Nanshan retreated swiftly to the foot of an ancient pine tree, with Mingyue following closely behind.

　　Just as the bright moon was about to strike him, his figure transformed into a series of afterimages, quickly moving aside. A loud “boom” resounded, and wood chips from the ancient pine trunk, as thick as a water bucket, flew everywhere. A large hole was blown open in the huge trunk, and the entire ancient pine tree was about to collapse.

　　Kazami Haru secretly regretted it, but it didn’t matter; there would be plenty of opportunities to kill her opponent. She unleashed her divine power and attacked again.

　　Meanwhile, the battle among the others had reached a fever pitch.

　　When Leng Shuxue and Ye Ruiyun joined forces, they could barely hold their own against the Western Heaven Ancestor. Although they were often on the defensive, they were not completely overwhelmed.

　　This also shows that the strength of the Four Elders of Qiankun is still slightly inferior to that of Ye Jingyun, one of the top ten masters.

　　That is precisely why the two women have been able to persevere until now without being defeated.

　　Similarly, Zuo Meihong and Li Yuyao could only barely avoid defeat against the old woman from Beihai, at least managing to hold her off.

　　If Kazami Haru and Myoyu gain the upper hand and defeat their opponents, then the six women will have a chance to win this battle.
