Simultaneous Transmigration: The Re-merging of 99 Selves

Chapter 14 Leaving Blackwood Cliff

Zhao Yu stood up and looked around with a nostalgic expression.

It was here that I spent nearly twenty years of my life, which is equivalent to wasting twenty years of my youth.

Zhao Yu reached out and touched the tabletop, his hand immediately getting covered in dust.

"It seems that time did not stop in this world after I left."

With a flicker of his eyes and a moment's thought, Zhao Yu turned around, packed a few things, and pushed open the door to leave.

Now is not the time to think about the rules of time travel. I've been away for so long, and according to the rules of the Sun Moon Cult, I'm afraid I'll have been labeled a traitor long ago. I should leave first.

It wasn't that Zhao Yu was afraid of Dongfang Bubai.

According to the rules of Jin Yong's world, martial arts skills become more and more commonplace as the era progresses. Yue Nu A Qing could defeat three thousand armored soldiers with a single sword, but by the time of The Deer and the Cauldron, even people who knew internal energy were rare.

In terms of skill, even though Zhao Yu had never seen Dongfang Bubai in action, he was confident that he was no less capable than him.

However, he has limited time now and cannot afford to delay.

Moreover, the followers of the Sun Moon Cult are not like ordinary soldiers. In Zhao Yu's memory, there are many experts among them who use poison and hidden weapons.

This is someone else's base camp, and Blackwood Cliff is a terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If he gets entangled with them, Zhao Yu will inevitably be in a sorry state. It is better to get away as soon as possible.

After quickly packing a bundle, Zhao Yu found the Sun Moon Sect's standard uniform, changed into it, and then went out the door.

It was quiet outside the door; there wasn't a large group of people blocking his way.

Looking around, he saw a few figures coming and going in a hurry, and no one paid any attention to Zhao Yu.

"This Sun Moon Sect, though it's called a Jianghu sect, has rules that seem even stricter than those of a military camp."

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Yu determined the direction and headed towards the gate.

As expected of the Sun Moon Cult, which evolved from the Ming Cult, its organizational structure incorporates some religious elements.

Zhao Yu's parents in this world were members of the Sun Moon Cult, and they were extremely devout, so devout that they were willing to sacrifice themselves for the cause of the cult.

It must be admitted that this religious brainwashing method is indeed successful.

But Zhao Yu is an adult who grew up in modern times.

So even though those people brainwashed him from childhood, he only outwardly obeyed while secretly harboring his own agenda.

After figuring out his situation after being transported to another world, Zhao Yu originally wanted to escape and leave the Sun Moon Cult.

But things are never that easy.

Leaving aside how to break away, just one question: how will he live after leaving the cult?

In this world where martial arts practitioners are everywhere, do you really think that time travelers can be invincible?

Moreover, he was a member of the Demonic Cult, and those chivalrous young heroes wouldn't listen to his explanations or care whether he had left the Demonic Cult.

If things go wrong, Zhao Yu could be hunted down by both the legitimate and criminal worlds.

Therefore, even though he knew this was not a good place, Zhao Yu could only stay in the Sun Moon Cult until his cheat ability was awakened.

Over the past twenty years, Zhao Yu has tried his best. After all, with something as magical as martial arts, who hasn't dreamed of leaping across rooftops and soaring through the skies?

Don't forget where this is: the Sun Moon Cult!

What is the most famous thing about the Sun Moon Cult? Besides the Sunflower Manual, it is of course the Three Corpse Brain God Pill.

If you're just a low-level follower, you naturally won't get to eat such "good stuff." But if you really succeed in martial arts and rise above others, then you'll get to enjoy it.

Therefore, even after living in this world for twenty years, Zhao Yu's martial arts skills were still mediocre; otherwise, he could have become even stronger after the fusion.

However, although his internal strength was lacking, Zhao Yu was quite diligent in external skills, such as the hidden weapon technique of the Black Blood Divine Needle, a standard weapon of the Sun Moon Divine Sect.

In team battles, ranged units are generally more likely to survive than melee units.

This is precisely the origin of Zhao Yu's rapid improvement in his hidden weapon skills.

We walked discreetly to the front of Blackwood Cliff, where a tall white marble archway came into view, inscribed with four golden characters: "Blessing all living beings".

Zhao Yu stopped.

It wasn't that Zhao Yu wanted to admire the archway, but rather that several guards were standing below it, their temples bulging, a testament to their profound inner strength.

Once here, Zhao Yu could no longer continue forward as if no one else was around. Ordinary followers wouldn't care about their colleagues passing by, but the guards were different.

Down from here, there are three more gates, each guarded by a designated person. Passage is only permitted upon verification of the password and the church's exclusive waist tag for the day; those without valid credentials are not allowed to move an inch.

The terrain of Blackwood Cliff is a natural barrier. The main body of Blackwood Cliff is a solitary cliff that rises abruptly from the ground, more than a thousand feet high, with smooth, sheer cliffs on all sides that offer no foothold.

Such terrain naturally eliminates all climbing possibilities except for man-made passages, making it a true "one man can hold the pass against ten thousand".

There is only one man-made stone staircase leading to the top of the cliff. On both sides of the staircase are narrow stone paths, only five feet wide, and next to them is a bottomless abyss. Even the space to dodge and move around is extremely limited.

This is why, despite being called a demonic sect, no one dared to attack the Sun Moon Sect's headquarters.

Zhao Yu obviously didn't know the password to go down the mountain, and even if he captured someone and forced them to reveal the password, it would probably be difficult to get through it smoothly.

By now, his portrait has probably been distributed everywhere, and the guards at the gate should be the ones who know it best. They're afraid that he'll be recognized as soon as he shows his face.

The only option now is to force our way through.

Zhao Yu tightened the bundle on his body, bent down to tie the cuffs of his clothes, and looked up ahead.

Although Lingbo Weibu is not known for its speed, that's only because it's not fast enough in the eyes of the Xiaoyao Sect. When Zhao Yu actually uses it, his lightness skill speed is something that ordinary people can hardly match.

Moreover, the footwork based on the Eight Trigrams is best suited for quick maneuvering within a small area, making it perfect for this situation.

Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes, lightly touched the ground with his feet, and headed straight for the archway.

On the top of Mount Hua, he fought against the other four masters for several days, and his skills surpassed all others. How could he not feel proud?

Due to practical reasons, he didn't have time to waste here, but that didn't mean he would sneak away and leave.

"Before I leave, I'm going to make a scene, at least to vent my anger from the past twenty years!"

As Zhao Yu approached, the guards in front of the archway became alert. The believers coming and going were all cautious and timid, unlike Zhao Yu who was so swaggering.

"Who goes there? Stop! Password!"

Zhao Yu seemed oblivious, his body moving like a drifting catkin, and in the blink of an eye, he had passed the archway and headed straight down the cliff.

Since they were all martial arts practitioners, the guards were naturally sharp-eyed and quick-witted, and they were able to see Zhao Yu's appearance clearly in the blink of an eye.

"It's the traitor in the portrait from the other day! He's still here! Arrest him!"

One person went up to deliver a message, while the rest rushed towards Zhao Yu, determined to stop him.

Otherwise, according to the rules of the Sun Moon Cult, they would not fare well.

Having already lost the initiative, how could they possibly catch up with Zhao Yu? As Zhao Yu grew further and further away from them, those people couldn't help but show expressions of despair.

Suddenly, their eyes lit up.

"Elder Tong! That traitor is trying to escape down the mountain, and we are stopping him!"
