After hesitating for a long time, Murong Fu decided to stand aside and look at the situation first. He judged that it would be better to help Song Qingshu hold back his enemies from a distance, and he didn’t really want to join the battle.
If the general situation got worse, it would easy for him to escape since he would be far away. Then, he would go back to Gusu and practice the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms in earnest, so it wouldn’t be too late to avenge Song Qingshu in the future.
Seeing Murong Fu standing far away, the Xuanming Elders also didn’t step forward. It was important for them to protect Zhao Min at the moment. However, when he saw Ren Yingying standing next to Zhao Min, Lu Zhangke couldn’t stop himself, and stretched out his hand to touch her face, “Hey, who is this girl, why is she so beautiful?”
“Ba*tard!”
“Stop!”
Several voices from the crowd cursed out one after another, it turned out that the Sun Moon Holy Cult members were keeping their eyes on Song Qingshu from the start. And now, seeing that he was now being attacked, and the guy with the strange staff wanted to be rude to their saintess, they couldn’t bear it anymore, so they drew their weapons and attacked .
Fortunately, they were concerned about Ren Yingying’s safety, otherwise they would have shot a volley of poisonous darts, and the two Xuanming Elders and Zhao Min, would have died on the spot.
Although the Xuanming Elders had high martial arts skills, the members of the Sun Moon Holy Cult were all elites, and the more they fought, the more the two elders had to take care of Zhao Min’s safety.
Ping Yizhi noticed the changes in the situation, and knew that he now had the chance to escape with his life. Success or failure depended on one action, as he tried his best to consume his internal energy, and pointed his One Yang Finger force at Bing Xue’er, temporarily forcing her away. Then he immediately raised his sleeves and threw a handful of poisonous powder into the air, taking the opportunity to escape.
Bing Xue’er knew that the opponents was an expert in using poison, so she didn’t dare to take it head-on. She quickly stepped aside, and missed the chance to catch him again.
Song Qingshu knew that Murong Jingyue was the one Bing Xue’er had been chasing for a long time, and he was now running away. Although the two were far apart, Song Qingshu was determined that he would never let Murong Jingyue escape from his grasp.
But just as he moved, Monk Jinlun appeared in front of him, and angrily scolded, “Hey! You little thief, last time you took advantage of our danger to take the Princess away, today I want you to experience the power of the golden wheels!”
As soon as the words ended, Monk Jinlun shook his body, and the five wheels made out of gold, silver, copper, iron and tin flew shot forward and attacked from up and down, left and right, with different angles.
Seeing Murong Jingyue disappear into the distance, Song Qingshu became furious, and he no longer held back his strength. He watched a wheel fly towards him, and smashed the wheel to pieces with a palm strike.
Monk Jinlun turned pale with shock, and led the other four wheels to attack him.
Murong Fu saw the situation clearly, and he quickly shouted out, “Brother Song, Murong Jingyue is a traitor of the Murong family, so I will go after him.”
He could clearly see that Murong Jingyue’s martial arts were better than his. But now that he was seriously injured, it wouldn’t be that difficult for him to beat the traitor. He judged it better to go after him than to stay here, and Song Qingshu also wouldn’t be able to refuse his reason as well.
Sure enough, Song Qingshu hesitated for a moment, and had no choice but to say, “Brother Murong, be careful of his poison.”
But before he could even finish speaking, he was attacked by Monk Jinlun again. This time Monk Jinlun didn’t dare to continue with his weapon to attack and he quickly took the remaining golden wheels in his hand. Then he held the wheels in one hand, and used the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Technique with the other hand.
Song Qingshu dodged the extremely lethal edge of the golden wheels, while dealing with Monk Jinlun’s right hand. The two exchanged more than ten moves in the blink of an eye. Song Qingshu gradually felt his hands turn numb, and was horrified at the power of his opponents attacks.
The Dragon-Elephant Prajna Technique, just like its name suggested, granted the power of a dragon and an elephant to its user after it was practiced to a great extent. Although its reputation was exaggerated to a certain extent, Song Qingshu still felt that it was a little difficult to deal with it with just the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. So, the Wooden Sword slipped from his sleeve as he grabbed it with his hand.
It didn’t mean that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was not as good as the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Technique, but it was Song Qingshu who couldn’t bring out the true power of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. If he could use the full power of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, it would become uncertain who would end up dying at the end.
At that moment, Zhao Min yelled, “Stop everything!”
Zhao Min has been in a position of power for a long time, therefore her words and deeds are naturally majestic, so apart from her subordinates, even the members of the Sun Moon Holy Cult stopped and looked at her blankly.
Zhao Min watched as Murong Jingyue run away, and trembled with anger. Then she glared at Xuanming Elders and the others, “Who told you to come here to make trouble?”
The two Xuanming Elders looked at each other, and said with a smile, “The State Teacher and your subordinates are just to save the Princess.”
Seeing the frosty look on their faces, Zhao Min didn’t act too harsh, and said, “Master Song is my old acquaintance, and what happened in the inn last time was just a little joke between him and this Princess, you don’t have to be too concerned.”
Anger flashed in Monk Jinlun’s eyes, he snorted, and didn’t say anything. The Xuanming Elders were originally supported by the Ruyang Palace, so they also wouldn’t go against her wishes.
“The man who escaped just now wanted to harm this Princess several times. Master Song had been protecting me, but when you came, he was able to escape in the chaos.”
Hearing Zhao Min’s words, the three masters looked at each other, and cursed in their hearts, especially the two Xuanming Elders, who were connected with each other, ‘Didn’t you ho*ok up with that Zhang Wuji from the Ming Cult? But why are you so concerned with this man? Hey, this is great anyway! We don’t like Zhang Wuji, so we can count on Song Qingshu to put a big green hat on him later.’
Zhao Min naturally didn’t know what they were thinking, otherwise her stomach would probably explode from anger. She then look at Ren Yingying and said with a pleasant tone, “There were many misunderstandings between this Princess and the Saintess, so I hope the Saintess wouldn’t mind the rudeness of my subordinates just now.”
In fact, if it wasn’t for the poisonous darts of the Sun Moon Holy Cult, Zhao Min would have taken this great opportunity to take Ren Yingying captive and take her to the Ruyang Palace as a guest.
Ren Yingying had already been snatched back by her subordinates just now. Although the Sun Moon Holy Cult had many people, but the martial arts realm on Zhao Min’s side was way too high, so she had no choice but to nod her head, “Yingying really admires the demeanor of the Princess. May we meet on a later date.”
Although she smiled on the surface, but Ren Yingying was very annoyed in her heart. If she had known that this woman was Princess Shaomin of Mongolia, she would have asked her subordinates to bring her back to Heimuya even if she had to take a risk.
Besides… in the bottom of her heart, she didn’t believe that Song Qingshu would really hurt her.
Ren Yingying took a deep look at Song Qingshu, frustrated at the fact that she wouldn’t be able to take revenge today. So she tightly bit her lower lip, raised her hand, and hurried away with her subordinates.
Zhao Min glanced at them, slightly nodded, and said, “Thank you Master Song for taking care of me these few days, and may we meet again on a later date.”
“Princess, think twice!” Hearing her words, Monk Jinlun and Xuanming Elders expressions changed. They really wanted to take advantage of this great opportunity to besiege Song Qingshu, who was still within their reach.

I’m quite disappointed in the way the MC has handled pretty much everything since entering Kaifeng. Still like him, though.
