“Linghu's nephew, the demons have broken through the last stronghold of the mountain's defense, they are already surrounding our base!”
“Nephew Linghu, the nuns of Northern Hengshan have suffered heavy losses, we no longer have many disciples left who can fight!”
“Nephew Linghu, what should we do??”
The vicious cults demolished the defense strongholds one after another and had almost reached the foot by the ti the order maintenance team had just arrived, so they even fought their way to the mountain. The elders vied with each other to report problems, so with anxiety and so with hopelessness..
With a straight face, he turned to Chu Yaoyin and asked:
“The order maintenance team can fight?”
“We will fight even if we are dead,” she replied, although she could not completely hide the desperation from her voice. “No one among ours died, but more than seventy percent were wounded, of which twenty percent will not be able to raise weapons.”
“In other words, no more than thirty percent of the team is intact? And we can say that we lost every fifth one...” Feng grew gloomy.
Never before had the peacekeeping team suffered such losses. In three years, they practically conquered the entire northwest between the Hua and Song mountains, and constantly kept the demons in check in the southern and northern Hengshan. But never before had they had to fight against opponents so superior in number and strength.
This ti, the Holy Cult spared no effort. They were clearly going to exterminate Northern Hengshan completely.
Two supre experts watched the advance of the demons, seven half-supres led the troops, more than ten experts at the peak of the first class did not allow anyone to escape.
The enemies were several tis stronger than Northern Hengshan, even taking into account the command to maintain order. However, they were designed for ergency assistance, but here their support is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
In three years, all five top disciples of the formation had reached the peak of the first class, individually they could fight against the semi-supre experts who had opened several channels between the ridians, and together they were a draw against the seven semi-supre experts of the enemy army.
But when dozens of first-class experts also piled on top, all that was left was to cover the retreating ones, gradually escaping with them.
Since their arrival at Mount Heng, all they had done was cover their retreat, but there was nowhere else to run.!
If reinforcents do not arrive, Northern Hengshan will be destroyed.
But there is nowhere to wait for reinforcents.
Linghu Feng smiled sourly. Even he felt the hopelessness of the situation.
Apparently he is not destined to catch up with his older brother. All three years without Lin Yi, the Alliance did nothing but beco weaker. They were losing students, territory, and resources.
Linghu Feng fought like a ferocious beast, leading a team to maintain order, with which he killed thousands, if not tens of thousands of demons.
But every day he felt that they were getting closer and closer to defeat.
In just three years, the Alliance went from its greatest state to its weakest..
How will he appear to his brother when his ti cos to die??
«If only Lin Yi had survived... But I swore to take revenge for him... He was right from the very beginning. I am not worthy to take the place of the head disciple of Huashan. I can't change the fate of the Five Mountain Swords...»
Under such pressure, Linghu Feng was ready to break. He had learned to hide his emotions over the years, but inside himself he was ready to finally give up and give up..
He had to fight. I had to for the sake of others.
After a long silence, Feng shook his head and made a decision:
“We have no choice. For the sake of saving the students and the legacy of the monastery, we will have to abandon the mountain. The order maintenance team with the least valuable students will create a retreat corridor to Huashan. Elders, you must choose those who will walk on it. Your survival is the only hope of return...”
The elders nodded in disappointnt, gritting their teeth..
Soone froze like a statue, soone cried silently.
They had to throw Hengshan, the monastery that was their holand, to the demons. And almost all of his students.
But they had no other choice. Only one chance to save the Hengshan legacy - and it's a shaful escape.
“I will clear the retreat corridor,” Master Jingxuan, the mistress of the monastery, suddenly said. “The bloody river will show you the way.”
“Older sister!”
“Big sister, you must survive!”
“Master Jingxuan!”
Everyone stared at her in amazent and shook their heads. Who, if not the master of the monastery, was the main bearer of the Hengshan heritage? In addition, the loss of the supre expert is a disaster for the entire Alliance.
“There’s no need to persuade , I’ve already made my decision,” she said indifferently. “All these days, I had to watch my children fight on the front lines and spare no bodies to save Hengshan. While I, an old grandmother and supre expert, could do nothing.”
“We would have been killed long ago by the enemy’s supre experts if it weren’t for you!” exclaid one of the elders, the rest supported.
Jingxuan shook her head:
“Since its founding, the disciples of Hengshan have never left their monastery. Today everything will change. From now on, you, Hengshan disciples, will be our monastery. And I won't let the demons lay a finger on you!”
She looked at the main student of the monastery and said:
“Yaoyin, I hope you will forgive , as your teacher, for not having ti to make you a supre expert. But know this: I give my life to fulfill my duty to you and all the other Hengshan disciples. The future of our monastery needs all of you, but a particularly heavy burden will fall on your shoulders. There is no worse test for a leader than difficult tis for his people. I hope you can stand them.”
“I understand, Master,” Chu Yaoyin replied, shedding tears. “I will not let you down and will not let the Hengshan legacy go to waste!”
Jingxuan nodded and looked at the next student:
“Nephew Linghu, make sure that each of you five survives. You can't die here. The future of the Five Mountain Swords rests on your shoulders. The world will bear my death, but not yours. Alas, such is fate. The heaviest load always falls on the youngest shoulders. Rember that only by surviving all the trials and becoming stronger can you return hope to the Alliance!”
Linghu Feng nodded solemnly and said in a serious tone:
“I understand, Master Jingxuan.”
The elderly woman nodded and looked at the elders of Mount Heng:
“Little sisters, do not forget your responsibility to our students. Once you reach Hengshan, listen to Yaoyin and help the students co to their senses. Don't let enemies cut off the future of our monastery!”
“I swear, big sister!” the elders answered in unison as tears stread down their cheeks.
Master Jingxuan smiled faintly.
“Don't be sad for . Is there a better fate than dying for your students? Be strong! Since ancient tis, the righteous path has always won! Survive and the glory of the Five Mountain Swords will definitely return to this world!”
At this she waved her hand:
“You can go. Have a good rest tonight, we'll make a breakthrough at dawn.”
“As the elder sister orders!” voices answered in unison.
But at that mont the walls were shaken by a deafening eagle call. Dust fell from the ceiling and columns.
There were screams outside, a panicked noise was heard.
Master Jingxuan frowned and asked:
“What's going on there?”
She was the first to rise from her seat and rush out of the hall; the others, surprised, hurried after her..
At the top of Mount Heng, the disciples pointed to the sky in amazent and stared upward with their mouths open..
At another ti, Jingxuan would have grumbled at such inappropriate behavior, but now she herself opened her mouth slightly, in amazent and horror..
From the sky, spreading wings the size of buildings, a giant golden bird, illuminated by the rays of the setting sun, descended towards them..
Jingxuan had never believed in the divine beasts of myth, but now her outlook on life was changing very quickly.
As a supre expert, she sensitively sensed the aura of a beast that surpassed herself in internal strength.!
This divine power was probably second only to semi-supre experts!
But what was even more shocking and frightening was that there was a man standing astride her, motionless as a rock. From above, he saw the entire Hengshan Mountain and tens of kiloters around.
Who could be the rider of a bird that has almost reached the legendary level of flawless experts?..
