Fire Captain

Mo Yan summoned Bai Ziyang to the main hall to discuss matters. Bai Ziyang dozed off on his chair as usual, when he suddenly heard Mo Yan's roar: "Stop sleeping!"

Bai Ziyang was startled, and when he got up in a hurry he accidentally fell to the ground with a thud. After he came to his senses, he slowly got up and adjusted his hair crown, apparently deciding to just throw the jar into the air.

Mo Yan watched Bai Ziyang trying to gather his strength, and it seemed that he was suppressing his anger.

Bai Ziyang could only say: "Brother, I've heard it all. Isn't it that Qi Sha has issued a declaration of war to all the sects and plans to attack all the sects at the same time in a month..."

Mo Yan said, "Oh? What do you think?"

Bai Ziyang said: "I agree with what Third Senior Brother said. With the strength of the Seven Killers, it is impossible for them to attack all the sects at the same time. This is just a trick they use to deceive people."

Mo Yan said: "What do you mean? The Seven Killers actually only intend to attack one of the factions?"

Bai Ziyang said: "Yes, but our question now is which faction will Qi Sha attack?"

Bai Zihua said, "I agree. I will be in charge of Changliu Mountain, so the possibility of Qi Sha attacking is not great... Pass on my order to send Changliu disciples to fight the enemy together and support his faction."

Mo Yan and Sheng Xiaomo said, "Okay!"

Bai Ziyang said, "Changliu, Tianshan, Taibai, Yuzhuo Peak... If Changliu, Tianshan, Taibai, Yuzhuo Peak are not counted, which one is it?" After saying that, he looked up at the three people and said, "Send the disciples to Tianshan and Yuzhuo Peak, and I will go to Taibai."

Bai Zihua said: "Okay! Be careful!"

Bai Ziyang grinned: "Don't worry."

Luo Shiyi and his group who were training at the foot of the mountain received a letter from Chang Liu and went to Taibai Gate for support. When they arrived at Taibai Gate, the sect leader Fei Yan came out to greet them in person.

Luo Shiyi led all the disciples in saluting and said, "Master Fei Yan!"

Fei Yan smiled in return and said, "During this extraordinary period, there is no need for courtesy! Now the disciples from other sects such as Wei Yu Mountain and Yun Pan Mountain have arrived to support us, and Taoist Master Bai Ziyang from Chang Liu Mountain has also arrived in person. Now that you are here too, I feel much more at ease."

Hua Qiangu, who was standing behind him, heard this and said happily: "Master is here too?"

Fei Yan said: "The Taoist Master is in the hall, no more words, please... please come in quickly!"

Hua Qiangu happily pulled Qingshui towards the main hall. As soon as she entered the main hall, she saw Bai Ziyang holding a cup of tea. She let go of Qingshui's hand and ran over: "Disciple, I greet the Master."

Bai Ziyang raised his eyebrows, put down his teacup and looked at Hua Qiangu carefully, then nodded and said, "You are really different after going out. You have grown up a lot!"

Hua Qiangu stood up and said proudly, "That's right, Xiaogu has killed demons and monsters along the way and never embarrassed Master!"

Bai Ziyang tapped Hua Qiangu's head and said with a smile: "Look at what you can do."

At this time, Luo Shiyi, who had just finished talking to Sect Master Fei Yan, led all the disciples to greet him: "Greetings to the Dao Zun."

Bai Ziyang waved his hand and said, "Alright, you've worked hard all the way here, go down quickly and take some time to rest, you won't be able to rest for a few days..."

"This..." Luo Shiyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes!"

Sure enough, the next morning, Bai Ziyang was listening to Luo Shiyi's speech to the disciples out of boredom when Sect Leader Fei Yan came hurriedly.

Bai Ziyang immediately sat up straight and asked excitedly: "Master Feiyan, is there any unusual movement from Qisha?"

Fei Yan nodded and said hurriedly: "Just now, Tianshan sent an urgent message that the Seven Killings Army suddenly attacked at 11:00 am today, and requested emergency support from the immortals who came to Taibai."

Luo Shiyi asked in confusion: "Today is only August 13th, why did they advance it by two days?"

Ni Mantian rolled her eyes and said, "Seven Killers is treacherous and cunning, and has done many evil things. How can he be trustworthy? He just took advantage of the factions' lack of support to catch us off guard."

Qingshui asked, "Then why did they openly challenge us in the first place? Wouldn't it be easier to just launch a sneak attack?"

Hua Qiangu analyzed carefully and said: "I think they want to deliberately disrupt our vision and hearing, tie down our manpower and strength, and make us mistakenly think that they are going to attack Tianshan, so that other immortal friends can go to support them. The bumpy journey will take at least two days. Then they will take this opportunity to attack Taibai Mountain, Changliu or Yuzhuo Peak by surprise, and then we will fall into their trap!"

"Well said!" Bai Ziyang clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Xiao Gu is absolutely right. It's exactly what I thought."

Sect Leader Fei Yan said, "It's very possible, but after all, the Seven Killers have limited manpower. This time, it seems that all the troops, including Shan Chunqiu and his Seven Killers followers, have all left Tianshan Mountain. There is no more ambush force to attack Taibai Mountain. Even if they want to return, it will take at least two days. By then, I think it will be in time for the various factions to rush back."

Everyone thought that what Sect Leader Fei Yan said made sense, but Bai Ziyang shook his head and said, "It's too late."

Fei Yan was stunned and said, "Why does Daoist Master Zi Yang say this?"

Bai Ziyang said: "Shan Chunqiu should have the Bugui Inkstone in his hand!"

"Not returning to the inkstone?" Fei Yan was shocked.

Bai Ziyang said: "Shan Chunqiu can use the Bugui Inkstone to quietly come to Taibai, attack Taibai and then turn back to attack Tianshan. When Tianshan is caught off guard, he can attack Yuzhuo Peak or Changliu Mountain... At this time, all the immortal friends will be led by Shan Chunqiu like dogs, following Qi Sha's ass."

Fei Yan was already pale with fear from Bai Ziyang, and said, "What should we do? All the immortal friends have already rushed to Tianshan."

Bai Ziyang patted Feiyan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, we haven't left yet... I can't say that we can repel the Seven Killing Sect, but at least we can hold on for a while. If an enemy comes, we will stop him. If a flood comes, we will block it... Relax, Sect Leader Feiyan."

Fei Yan was no longer relaxed, and wanted to quickly call back all the immortal friends. Unfortunately, before she could act, a disciple outside the door came to report: "Master, the Seven Killers are coming!"

Shan Chunqiu led the Seven Killers to break into the mountain gate and said arrogantly: "Little Feiyan, if you hand over the Huansi Bell today, I will spare your life!"

Bai Ziyang walked out from behind the crowd and sneered, "Shan Chunqiu, if you retreat down the mountain obediently, I can spare your life for Sha Qianmo's sake."

Shan Chunqiu waved his sleeves and angrily said, "It's you again, Bai Ziyang!"

Bai Ziyang smiled and said, "So what if it's me? Don't think that no one knows about your little trick. You just want to use the Bugui Inkstone to attack Taibai, and then attack Tianshan while everyone is rushing back. No matter what you think, you won't succeed as long as I'm here."

Shan Chunqiu was gloomy and silent. He glanced at Kuang Yetian beside him. Kuang Yetian understood and waved his hand and shouted, "Attack!"

Upon seeing this, Fei Yan also said, "Disciple Taibai, set up a demon-subduing formation!" After saying that, she flew out and joined the other disciples in fighting against Qi Sha.

Bai Ziyang and the Changliu disciples watched the battle from behind. Bai Ziyang said, "The Changliu disciples should be divided into two teams. They should take care of each other and do not separate. Ni Mantian and Shuofeng will lead one team, Luo Shiyi will lead another team, and Xiaogu will stay behind!"

Hua Qiangu and the others said together: "Yes, disciples will obey your orders." Ni Mantian, Shuofeng, and Luo Shiyi led their disciples away. Hua Qiangu stood behind Bai Ziyang.

Suddenly, a streak of light flashed across the field. Wherever the light passed, all the Taibai disciples retreated. Bai Ziyang's originally tight lips suddenly revealed a cold smile, "She finally appeared." It turned out that the "light" was actually a woman. Seeing that she was heading straight for Sect Leader Feiyan, Bai Ziyang suddenly shouted, "Xiao Gu, go... let Master see your skills!"

Hua Qiangu quickly said: "Yes! Master!"

Bai Ziyang slapped Hua Qiangu on the waist, and a hidden force sent Hua Qiangu straight to Feiyan. Hua Qiangu swung out with her palm, immediately resolving Feiyan's crisis, and turned around to draw out the Xuanyuan Sword in her hand.

With the battle situation unfavorable, Bai Ziyang looked up at the horizon, put his hands behind his back, drew out the jade flute from his waist, and played it softly. As the sound of the flute rose and fell, the Seven Killings disciples present suddenly convulsed, and the serious ones suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground. Except for Shan Chunqiu who barely stood up, the Seven Killings had no strength to fight anymore.

Changliu and Taibai's followers all turned around to look at Bai Ziyang, only to see Bai Ziyang standing alone on the steps, with an elegant demeanor and fluttering clothes, looking like a god.

Bai Ziyang's usual style of doing things was too joking, so although there were rumors that the Taoist Master Bai Ziyang of Changliu Mountain was very powerful, almost no one had ever seen Bai Ziyang in action. So today, when they suddenly saw Bai Ziyang being able to single-handedly resist so many Seven Killings disciples, including Shan Chunqiu, they were all stunned and found it unbelievable.

The sound of the flute gradually became louder, Shan Chunqiu suddenly pressed his chest, took three steps back, and spurted out a mouthful of blood. Unexpectedly, a barrier of rosy clouds suddenly appeared in front of the Qi Sha people, blocking Bai Ziyang's flute sound, and the Qi Sha people were able to breathe.

Bai Ziyang put away his flute and looked up.

A man descended from the sky like a god, and his beauty was enough to captivate everyone.

Hua Qiangu shouted unconsciously: "Kill sister!"

The Seven Killers immediately bowed to the ground: "Greetings to the Holy Lord!"

"Bones!" Dongfang Yuqing came running from somewhere and ran to Hua Qiangu.

Hua Qiangu subconsciously asked: "What do those demon disciples call me? Saint Lord?"

Dongfang Yuqing said: "Don't you know? He is the Saint Lord Sha Qianmo!"

Hua Qiangu was surprised and asked, "What?" Then she turned around and shouted, "Master!"

Bai Ziyang walked up to Hua Qiangu and looked at her as if she was greatly frightened. Maybe, just like a long-cherished dream was shattered, he said softly: "He is the Saint Lord Sha Qianmo, and also your sister Sha!"

"Master! You... have always known?" You always knew that he was the Seven Killings Sage King? You always knew that I knew him?

"Hmm..." Bai Ziyang touched the top of Hua Qiangu's head and said, "I don't know much..."

After teaching his subordinates a lesson, Sha Qianmo came to Bai Ziyang and Hua Qiangu and said, "Little one, Bai Ziyang!"

Bai Ziyang nodded and said, "Sha Qianmo, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still as charming as ever!"

Sha Qianmo laughed loudly and said, "Bai Ziyang... you are still so good at talking!"

When Bai Ziyang met Sha Qianmo for the first time, he was being besieged by the Seven Killers. He was in extremely danger, but when he saw Sha Qianmo, he was surprised and blurted out: "As the saying goes, appearance reflects the heart. You are so beautiful, so I guess your heart is not that bad!" Sha Qianmo laughed out loud and not only let Bai Ziyang go on the spot, but also treated him as a close friend. Few people knew that the two had been friends for many years. After all, their sects were not compatible with good and evil.
