Chapter 274 Siege



The White Lotus Sect has a large number of members in Fancheng. The city has been filled with the bloodshed and countless heads have been chopped off.

Yang Cheng looked down at the city walls and said in a deep voice, "Let everyone set up camp and rest."

Chen Da asked in surprise, "Boss, shouldn't we take advantage of this and capture a few more cities? Although the brothers have been traveling all day, they still have energy to spare."

Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. The White Lotus Sect's forces outside the headquarters will definitely come out in full force to find us."

We've already conquered three cities and killed three White Lotus Sect envoys. If the White Lotus Sect were to simply stand there waiting for us to take them down one by one, they'd be incredibly foolish.

Chen Da immediately became vigilant: "Then tell the brothers not to sleep for now, and to stay alert."

Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "Let everyone get some rest. Even if the White Lotus Sect comes, they'll only be after me."

They should realize now that numbers mean nothing to me.

Just as Yang Cheng said, the members of the White Lotus Sect were indeed united at this time, discussing how to deal with Yang Cheng.

In a small town at the border of Henan and Hebei prefectures, the White Lotus sect had now completely occupied the area.

Inside the former county government office, the remaining six holy envoys of the White Lotus Sect gathered, all with gloomy expressions.

"With his own strength, he fought across three hundred miles in a single day, conquered three cities, and killed three of my White Lotus Sect's Holy Envoys. More than 100,000 followers of the sect collapsed."

"Tell me, are all the followers of my White Lotus Sect pigs? Even if there were hundreds of thousands of pigs, the Zhenwu Hall couldn't catch them all in a day!"

A boy, only a teenager with rosy lips, white teeth, and delicate features, was pointing at and cursing at several other envoys of the White Lotus Sect.

He wore a black cloak embroidered with nine golden lotuses on the back. Although he looked like a little boy, his voice sounded like that of an old man, hoarse and aged.

He is the Nine Lotus Saint Envoy of the White Lotus Sect. In reality, he is already seventy or eighty years old this year. He used a secret method to rejuvenate, which is why he appears like this in front of outsiders.

The other holy envoys also had somber expressions.

The White Lotus Sect had been operating in Henan Prefecture for decades, and finally, when the world was in chaos, they prepared to rebel. At first, things went very smoothly, and in less than a month, they seized three prefectures.

But who would have thought that they would be reduced to their original state in a single day, and the other side was almost pushed back to Henan County.

One of the women, with a charming and alluring appearance and a gauze dress embroidered with eight lotus flowers, snorted, "What's the use of you shouting at us?"

That is indeed the case. Yang Cheng broke through three of my White Lotus Sect's cities and killed three of my White Lotus Sect's Holy Envoys in a single day.

The question we should be discussing now is whether we should go back to Her Majesty the Holy Mother for help, or intercept them before they enter Henan County.

The Nine Lotus Saint Envoy said coldly, "Henan Prefecture is now the stronghold of my White Lotus Sect. We absolutely cannot allow the enemy to invade Henan Prefecture!"

We six may have disagreements in the past, but with a formidable enemy at hand, let's put aside our differences for now, join forces to deal with Yang Cheng, and then consider other matters.

Otherwise, the foundation of my White Lotus Sect might be destroyed in an instant!

The holy envoys present all nodded.

They all shared this opinion.

With a formidable enemy at hand, they naturally couldn't afford to fight amongst themselves; they had to deal with Yang Cheng first.

Moreover, the White Lotus Sect has strict rules. Don't be fooled by their status as holy envoys of the White Lotus Sect. In reality, the White Lotus Holy Mother's cultivation is unfathomable, and it wouldn't be difficult for her to create a few more holy envoys.

If they mess this up, their fate might be even worse when they return to the White Lotus Sect.

This is why the Seven Lotus Saints did not flee, even though they knew the battle was dangerous.

“Sanlian, you were in Qinghe County before, which is closest to the heart of the Great Zhou. You don’t have any detailed information about Yang Cheng there.”

The Holy Envoy Sanlian hurriedly said, "Before coming here, I specifically had someone gather information about Yang Cheng. This Grand Commander of the Zhenwu Hall is definitely not to be underestimated!"

This person suddenly rose to prominence in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty three years ago. He once fought against the master of the Vajra Bright Wheel Temple, killed three of the Thirty-Six Great Bandits, and even the divine messenger under the Holy Duke Zhang Liang died at his hands.

Strangely, after establishing the Zhenwu Hall in the capital, this person disappeared without a trace and went into seclusion, which lasted for more than three years.

For more than three years, Zhenwu Hall developed at will, and Yang Cheng did not interfere at all. It was not long ago that he officially came out of seclusion, and immediately after coming out of seclusion, he killed Pei Shixiong, the general of Wuwei Army.

Back then, Yang Cheng's strength was already comparable to that of a martial arts grandmaster. Now, after three years of arduous training, judging from his initial strength, he should have reached the level of a martial arts grandmaster.

He is comparable to Luo Fei, the swordsman of the Heavenly Sword Sect; Fa Kong, the abbot of Shaolin Temple and the venerable monk Du'e; and Xuanwei Zhenren, the leader of the Xuanzhen Daoist Sect!

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the White Lotus Sect's holy envoys present all became solemn.

These are all legendary figures, top experts in the martial arts world. It's quite unexpected that the Grand Commander of Zhenwu Hall would give such a terrifying assessment of his strength.

The Nine Lotus Saint Envoy suddenly sneered, "You made this assessment based on everyone's strength three years ago, but in these three years, everyone should have been able to sense that the spiritual energy has become increasingly abundant, and everyone's cultivation progress has also become faster and faster."

Powerful figures like Sword Master Luo Fei might be even stronger now, far surpassing their strength from three years ago. Can any of you be certain of the current strength of Luo Fei, Fa Kong, and others?

Three years ago, Yang Cheng was able to kill three of the thirty-six bandits, but he might not be able to do so now.

"With the combined strength of the six of us, plus the secret techniques of my White Lotus Sect, even a Grandmaster of Martial Arts might not be unable to kill us!"
