Shi Potian travels through Linghu Chong

Chapter 114: Demon Sword

"Your subordinate Lin You greets the young lady."

Sun and Moon Sect, Changsha branch.

Fenglei Hall Master Lin You bowed respectfully towards Ren Yingying.

Ren Woxing had just been out of the West Lake dungeon not long ago, but he had already brought six of the ten elders of the Demon Cult back into his fold. In order to prevent them from betraying him again, he also forced them to take the Three Corpses Brain Pill.

Lin You is one of them.

"Uncle Lin, there's no need to be so polite. I'm the younger generation, so I should be the one to greet you."

Ren Yingying said a few polite words and asked, "Uncle Lin, do you know about the Black Wood Cliff?"

Lin You nodded quickly and said, "I know." He told him everything he knew.

Unlike Yan Ruhai, although Lin You had been in Changsha City, he had already received a pigeon message from Tong Baixiong and learned what happened at Heimu Cliff. Tong Baixiong also asked him to lead his troops to immediately support Heimu Cliff and avenge Dongfang Bubai.

When Lin You received the letter, he was completely stunned.

He could understand why Shi Potian colluded with Yang Lianting, who was deeply favored by Dongfang Bubai, to kill Dongfang Bubai.

However, he just couldn't understand how Shi Potian alone could destroy the martial arts of nearly two thousand people in the headquarters.

Lin Youli ignored Tong Baixiong's request for help. Not to mention that he had been forced to join Ren Woxing, even if he didn't, he didn't have the courage to get involved in such things.

He only sent a few trusted people to Black Wood Cliff to gather information, but before these trusted people came back, Ren Yingying arrived first.

Lin You said, "I wanted to report this good news to the leader as soon as possible and ask him what to do next, but it is really hard to find the leader. I was just wondering what to do, and then you came, young lady."

Ren Yingying said, "Uncle Lin, you are well-informed, but you are wrong about one thing. Linghu Chong did not collude with Yang Lianting to kill Dongfang Bubai. Instead, he killed Dongfang Bubai first and then coerced Yang Lianting."

Lin You asked in confusion: "How does the young lady know all this?"

Ren Yingying asked, "Have you never thought about why Linghu Chong has such profound inner strength at such a young age?"

Lin You was startled for a moment, then he opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief: "Could it be the Star Absorbing Technique?!"

Ren Yingying said, "That's right. Linghu Chong learned my father's Star Absorbing Technique and also inherited the inner strength of my father and Uncle Xiang. That's why he went to Black Wood Cliff alone to avenge my father. Now he has inherited Dongfang Bubai's inner strength, and he is already the undisputed number one in the world."

Lin You exclaimed, "Ah," and said, "This, this..." He stuttered for a long time and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Ren Yingying continued, "My father intended to pass the position of the leader of the Demon Cult to him, but he was concerned about Yue Buqun's upbringing and refused to agree."

Lin You gradually calmed down from his shock and thought to himself, "Ren Woxing must have known that he was no match for Dongfang Bubai, so he and Xiang Wentian passed on the inner strength to Linghu Chong. He spared no expense to train Linghu Chong and wanted to help him become the leader of the sect. He must have wanted to take Linghu Chong as his son-in-law. And Tong Baixiong, Jia Bu and the more than 2,000 followers, they must not have had their martial arts abolished, but had their inner strength sucked dry by Linghu Chong's Star Absorbing Technique!"

When Lin You thought that Shi Potian contained not only the internal energy of Dongfang Bubai, Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian, Jia Bu, and Tong Baixiong, but also the internal energy of more than 2,000 followers, he felt his scalp tingling and his whole body trembling.

This kind of internal strength is no longer that of an ordinary person, it is probably close to that of a god!

Lin You's expression changed, and he said, "Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely find a way to get Master Linghu to return to my Holy Sect."

Ren Yingying shook her head and said, "No. We must find a way to have him take over the position of the head of Huashan as soon as possible and become the new leader of the Five Mountains."

Lin You looked confused.

Ren Yingying continued, "Then, we will learn from Qu Yang and turn over a new leaf and join him. Then..."

Lin You took a deep breath and murmured, "When the time comes, Master Linghu will be able to combine the power of the Five Mountains Sword Sect and our Holy Religion to sweep across Shaolin and Wudang and unify the martial arts world."

Ren Yingying said calmly: "Unify the martial arts world? By then, even if you want to sit on the throne of emperor, it may not be impossible."

Lin You just felt his heart tremble.

In the past, he often shouted in the sect: "Combining civil and martial virtues, unify the world", but it was not until today that he truly saw the hope of unifying the world, and it was right in front of him and within his reach.

Ren Yingying said, "Fenglei Hall Master Lin You, the leader has ordered: from today on, you must do everything you can to improve Linghu Chong's prestige in the martial arts world and help him take over the position of leader of the Five Mountains as soon as possible." As she spoke, she raised her right hand high, and in her hand there was indeed a black wooden token.

Lin You knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "The leader is a man of both civil and military virtues, benevolent and wise, with a plan that is perfect and illuminates the world. I am willing to go through fire and water for you, even if I die."

Ren Yingying said, "Uncle Lin, Brother Chong still has some grudges against our Holy Church. Don't let him know what we are doing. Before he takes over as the leader of the Five Mountains, don't let anyone know about his relationship with our Holy Church."

When Lin You heard the word "Brother Chong", he was more certain that his idea was correct. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Miss. I will do this carefully and will never let you down." After hesitating for a moment, he whispered, "Miss, I heard that Master Linghu has a little junior sister..."

Ren Yingying shook her head and said, "The overall situation is the most important thing."

Lin You admired her even more, and felt that the young lady's mind and bearing were indeed different from those of ordinary women. He said seriously, "I understand."

Ren Yingying was not surprised by Lin You's reaction. She had said the same words six times. She said, "Uncle Lin, I have to go back and report to my father. I'll take my leave first." She turned and left the Changsha branch of the Sun Moon Sect, went all the way back to the Five Poison Ridge in Miaojiang, and came to the graves of Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian.

Previously, the Five Poison Sect used their unique method of keeping alive the Five Poisons to stimulate the last bit of life in Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian's bodies, allowing the two to regain a last glimmer of life and live for fifteen days.

However, with the news that Dongfang Bubai had died, the Sun Moon Sect's headquarters had been destroyed, and more than a thousand sect members had lost all their martial arts, Ren Woxing was so overwhelmed with joy and sorrow that he could only hold on for less than seven days.

Xiang Wentian followed suit and fulfilled his vow to die on the same day of the same month of the same year.

"Dad, I have done everything you told me to do."

Ren Yingying took off her hat, arranged the offerings, lit incense, and poured the fine wine she brought on the ground in front of the grave.

He picked up a jar and started gulping it down.

Ren Yingying was smart and precocious since childhood. She had long since noticed Dongfang Bubai's ambition and had warned Ren Woxing, but Ren Woxing did not take it seriously.

After Ren Woxing was ambushed by Dongfang Bubai and imprisoned in the West Lake dungeon.

She pretended to be ignorant and carefully tried to please Dongfang Bubai, causing Dongfang Bubai to relax his vigilance towards her. He left her behind to appease those old subordinates who were loyal to Ren Woxing, and named her the Saint Lady, raising her to a transcendent position.

But she never let her guard down. While trying to find out her father's whereabouts, she also tried her best to preserve the power left by her father. She rarely drank, and she never got drunk. But today, she just wanted to get drunk.

After drinking half a jar of wine, Ren Yingying's face was flushed and her eyes were wandering. She looked at the rising green smoke. She seemed to see Ren Woxing's face again and her ears rang with the words Ren Woxing said to her that day.

"Dongfang Bubai is just a villain who usurped the throne. Dad is the leader of the Sun Moon Sect. Dad can't watch the hundreds of years of foundation of the Sun Moon Sect destroyed in my hands..."

"As long as Linghu Chong is alive, our Sun Moon Sect will never be able to recover..."

"Dad knows that you are no match for him. No one in this world can be his opponent. There is only one way to deal with him..."

"Praise him! Praise him high! The higher the better! Praise him to the sky! Tell everyone that Linghu Chong's martial arts is the best in the world, Linghu Chong is wise, brave, benevolent and righteous, and the Five Mountains Sword Sect is the largest sect in the martial arts world. Help him dominate the martial arts world and unify the martial arts world..."

"You must remember to help him sincerely. Only sincerity can serve as evidence! The martial arts world is so small that good and evil each occupy half of it. Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Kongtong and other so-called famous and upright sects can tolerate our evil sect, but they will never tolerate the Five Mountains Sword Sect, which they see as an upstart, climbing over their heads..."

"They will help us deal with Linghu Chong and the Five Mountains Sword Sect..."

……

"Dad, what if...what if Shaolin and Wudang are no match for him?"

"Then you should really bring our Sun Moon Sect to join his army and become the great contributor who helps him to the top! Leave a little spark for our Sun Moon Sect, and there may be a chance for it to make a comeback in the future!"

"Yingying, you don't have to think too much. You are helping him. It's not evil, nor does it hurt innocent people. It's not a violation of your oath! On the contrary, if he can dominate the martial arts world, you can bring people from my sect to join him. It can also reduce many disputes in the martial arts world, which is a great good deed!"

Ren Yingying picked up the jar of wine and drank all the remaining wine. Then, because she drank too fast and too quickly, she choked and coughed continuously.

"father!"

Ren Yingying was unsteady on her feet. She leaned against Ren Woxing's tombstone, letting the wine jar roll away. She muttered to herself, "What you said is all right, but... he is the enemy who killed my father!"

When she thought of how she had deliberately called him "Brother Chong" in front of others, Ren Yingying couldn't stop her tears from falling from the corners of her eyes.

Ren Woxing attached great importance to the martial arts and power of the Sun Moon Sect, but Ren Yingying only cared about Ren Woxing as her father. After enduring for many years, she finally rescued Ren Woxing from the West Lake dungeon, but ended up killing Ren Woxing.

Even though Ren Woxing comforted her several times and told her that it was better for her to live happily outside for two months than to die of old age in the dungeon, she still couldn't let it go!

Ren Yingying stared blankly at the three words "Ren Woxing" on the tombstone, drew out the dagger she carried with her, stayed in silence for a while, and then slashed it towards her neck.

Snapped!
A whip came from a distance and knocked the dagger away.

Lan Fenghuang rushed over, looked at the faint bloodstains on Ren Yingying's neck, and quickly took out some medicine to help Ren Yingying apply it, saying, "Sheng... Yingying, what are you doing? If you don't want to get involved in martial arts anymore, just stay with us five..."

Before she could finish her words, Ren Yingying had already fallen into a deep sleep due to the long journey and drunkenness. She could only mutter intermittently, "Ling... Hu Chong... Linghu Chong..."

Lan Fenghuang's face was full of heartache. She picked up Ren Yingying and sent her back to the room, muttering, "I told you I would help you get revenge, but you refused. No matter how powerful Linghu Chong is, can he stay alert all the time? Even if he is the best in the world, what will happen if he is poisoned?"

He ordered the maids, "Go and boil some sobering medicine and put it on the stove. When Saint Lady wakes up, if she asks about me, you can tell her that I went to the mountains to catch some poisonous insects and will be back in a few days."

Afterwards, Lan Fenghuang summoned the elders of the sect and told them that she was going to the mountains to look for poisonous insects, and asked them to take charge of the sect's affairs temporarily.

In fact, he took his personal weapons, carefully prepared poisons, and poisonous insects he fed himself, changed into the clothes of a Han woman, and headed towards the Central Plains.

The Five Poisons Sect and the Sun and Moon Sect have deep roots, but the relationship between the two sects is not close.

The elders of the Five Poisons Sect were willing to abide by their previous oaths and refine various poisons for the Sun-Moon Sect, but they were not willing to get involved in any of the Sun-Moon Sect's affairs.

Revenge for Ren Woxing is no exception.

Although Lan Fenghuang is the leader, he still has a group of senior teachers and uncles above him. He cannot and is unwilling to act arbitrarily, so he can only go and avenge his friend on his own.

Before leaving, Lan Fenghuang also left behind the identity token representing the leader of the Five Poison Sect.

In this way, even if she accidentally died at the hands of Shi Potian, it would only be her personal vendetta and would not involve the Five Poison Sect.

……

The Sun Moon Sect, following Ren Yingying's instructions, regarded Shi Potian as Ren Woxing's son-in-law and the next leader of the Sun Moon Sect, and began to fully cooperate with Shi Potian's actions.

Wherever Shi Potian arrived at a place, before he could go to find those who had taken the Three Corpses Brain Pill to deliver the antidote, the local people and those in the surrounding areas who were on guard against taking the Three Corpses Brain Pill had already gathered together in advance, preparing all kinds of generous gifts such as gold, silver, jewelry, ginseng, deer antlers, etc., and their attitude was extremely flattering.

Shi Potian was startled, and also vaguely sensed something was wrong, so he asked several times.

But these people thought that Shi Potian had a close relationship with the Demon Cult, and they had received strict orders from the Demon Cult's elders not to disclose anything related to the Demon Cult. They just kept saying words of gratitude and kept silent about other things.

Shi Potian had no choice but to put down the antidote and prescription, refuse the generous gift, and leave in a hurry.

at the same time.

The five branches of Huashan, Songshan, Hengshan, Taishan and Hengshan also converge in Pingding Prefecture, Hebei.

The original plan for the five factions to siege Black Wood Cliff turned into a celebration banquet.

Under the chairmanship of Yue Buqun, the leader of the Five Mountains, the disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sects paid tribute to the spirits of their ancestors and carved four large characters "Evil cannot defeat good" on the stone wall of the Black Wood Cliff.

The news that Shi Potian went up to the Black Wood Cliff alone, killed the Demon Cult leader Dongfang Bubai, and razed the Demon Cult's headquarters also spread.

For a moment, the entire martial arts world was shaken.

Countless martial artists from all over the country were discussing the name "Linghu Chong".

With the instigation of the Sun Moon Sect, the three words "Linghu Chong" were soon tied together with "number one in the world".

Shi Potian also has a nickname recognized by the world:

The demon-killing sword!
Eradicate all the evil spirits in the world!
