Shi Potian travels through Linghu Chong

Chapter 60 Evil prevails over good

Chapter 60 Evil prevails over good
The big man's face was covered in blood, and he was shaking in pain. He shook his head desperately and said, "I...I figured it out myself."

Yue Buqun looked coldly at the other three people kneeling on the ground.

The three men were so frightened that they trembled and kowtowed, begging, "Master Yue, please spare our lives! We, we know nothing, ah!" Their eyes unconsciously glanced towards the direction of the cave.

Yue Buqun understood what was going on in an instant. He stretched out his hands and pressed the acupuncture points of several people, and said to Shi Potian: "Chong'er, you are here..."

He wanted to say "You watch them here", but noticed the shocked and unbelievable expression on Shi Potian's face. He was stunned for a moment, then he realized what was going on and asked, "Chong'er, did I scare you?"

Shi Potian nodded hesitantly.

In Shi Potian's eyes, Yue Buqun has always been a gentle, easy-going and kind man. Today, he suddenly used such brutal means to injure and kill people, which made Shi Potian dumbfounded. He even forgot to step forward to stop it.

Yue Buqun asked: "Do you think Master was too harsh and shouldn't have killed them?"

Shi Potian nodded desperately and said, "Master, they want to come to our Huashan to do bad things. We just need to drive them away, and there is no need to kill them."

If any other disciple dared to question him like this, Yue Buqun would have scolded him harshly with a dark face.

But when he heard Shi Potian say this, his face was full of relief.

Chong'er could see that they had ulterior motives and did not believe their lies about going up the mountain to see the scenery. This was great progress!

Yue Buqun asked: "What if they come again next time? What if they bring more people? You can drive them away once, twice, three times, even ten times, a hundred times... But there will always be times when you can't drive them away. What should you do then? Just let them do bad things and hurt the people you care about?"

Shi Potian was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining: "Master, why don't we destroy their martial arts and prevent them from doing bad things? That way no one will die!"

Yue Buqun: “…” That would only make his death more miserable!
Yue Buqun thought about it and realized that whether these people died or not after their martial arts were destroyed had nothing to do with the Huashan Sect, so he changed his words and said, "That's fine."

Shi Potian didn't know all this, but when he heard that his master agreed with his idea, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Since he himself doesn't care about martial arts, he subconsciously thinks that others don't care about martial arts either.

But they don't know that for many people in the martial arts world, losing their martial arts skills would be more satisfying than killing them directly.

Yue Buqun said: "Chong'er, you stay here and watch over them. I'll go to the cave over there and take a look."

The four big men who were pressing the acupoints next to them could not speak or move. When they heard Yue Buqun's words, their eyes revealed expressions of extreme fear and despair.

Yue Buqun became even more curious about what was in the cave, so he walked in quickly. With a quick glance, he discovered that the big rock on the ground had been moved.

Yue Buqun used his inner strength to move the stone away, and he saw a passage on the stone wall behind the stone, extending diagonally downwards. It was pitch black inside and no one knew where it led to.

Yue Buqun found a stone and threw it down, but he heard continuous banging sounds and the stone kept rolling down with a faint echo. It was obvious that there was a large empty space behind it.

Is there such a place below the Cliff of Repentance?
How come I have never heard Master talk about this?
Yue Buqun was confused, but did not rush in. Instead, he walked out of the cave and instructed Shi Potian: "Chong'er, you guard the entrance of the cave and don't let anyone in." Then he returned to the cave, lit a torch, and carefully went in.

Unexpectedly, this trip took nearly two hours.

Shi Potian saw that it was getting completely dark and still Yue Buqun hadn't come out, so he became a little worried. He walked to the entrance of the passage, activated the Zixia magic skill, and began to observe inside.

The passage was winding and there was no end in sight. Only the faint sound of swords swinging could be heard.

Shi Potian shouted loudly: "Master, are you okay? It's already dark outside, when will you come back?"

Soon, Shi Potian heard footsteps coming from the passage, getting closer and closer.

After a while.

Yue Buqun crawled out from the tunnel. Apart from some dust on his body, he was safe and sound. His eyes were filled with joy and he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips. It was obvious that he was in a very good mood.

After coming out, Yue Buqun immediately blocked the hole with a big stone, then went outside the cave to destroy the martial arts of the four men, untied their acupuncture points, and said: "Take these corpses and walk as far away as possible. Don't let me see you again."

The four men's martial arts were crippled and their faces were ashen, but when they heard that they could save their lives, it was as if they had been pardoned. They gritted their teeth, carried the body on their backs, and regardless of the darkness and danger of the road, they hurriedly descended the Cliff of Repentance and fled down the mountain.

Yue Buqun watched them leave and warned Shi Potian, "Chong'er, from now on, you stay in this cave and don't let anyone in."

"If anyone dares to barge in, you will kill him...you will destroy his martial arts. I will bring you food, clothing and other necessities later."

After saying that, Yue Buqun displayed his Qinggong skills and floated down the Cliff of Repentance.

However, Yue Buqun did not rush back, but followed the four people closely.

After the four people were far away from the Cliff of Repentance, Yue Buqun rushed forward without hesitation and killed the four people to silence them.

Afterwards, Yue Buqun returned to Yousuobuweixuan and asked Ning Zhongze to prepare meals, kettles, mattresses and other daily necessities for him.

He went to the study to prepare the writing brush, ink, paper, inkstone, etc. Ning Zhongze was puzzled: "Brother, what do you want these things for?"

Yue Buqun smiled slightly, picked up the wolf-hair brush in his hand, first moved it horizontally to the left, then stabbed it forward, and then rotated it in a circle, and stabbed it diagonally upward and downward twice.

Ning Zhongze saw that this was a very advanced sword technique, and he also felt that it was somewhat familiar, but he did not understand what Yue Buqun wanted to express. He immediately became anxious: "Brother, please stop playing dumb with me. What do you mean by this? Is this a new sword technique you created?"

Yue Buqun smiled and said: "This is not a new sword technique I created. This move is called 'Blowing the Flute to Attract the Phoenix'."

Ning Zhongze was stunned, then suddenly remembered something and cried out, "The 'Blowing the Flute to Attract the Phoenix' in the Shenyou Sword Technique? Hasn't it been lost?"

Yue Buqun could no longer suppress the joy in his heart, and laughed out loud, which was rare for him, and said: "It's not just the flute that attracts the phoenix, there's also the flying dragon in the blue clouds, the frost on the lotus peak..." He waved the wolf hair in his right hand and performed several sword techniques, all of which were the lost sword techniques of the Huashan School.

Ning Zhongze was surprised and delighted: "Brother, where did you find these sword techniques?"

Yue Buqun did not hide anything from Ning Zhongze, and said with a bit of complacency: "Thinking Cliff. Junior Sister, didn't I tell you yesterday that although our Huashan Jade Maiden Peak is big, there are not many places to hide."

"Siguo Cliff is located at the top of Yunv Peak. There is nothing around it, no rocks or trees to block it. You can see most of Yunv Peak clearly. Those evil thieves who want to attack our Huashan Sect will most likely go to Siguo Cliff to inquire about the situation."

"I quietly climbed up the Jade Maiden Peak near dusk, and happened to see eight people in gray clothes walking out of the cave on the Cliff of Repentance..."

Yue Buqun started with his own guesses, then talked about the appearance of Shi Potian, and then about the gray-clothed man who was desperate and used strange moves to break his Cang Song Welcoming Guests and Jin Yan Heng Kong. He kept talking about how he entered the stone cave at Siguo Cliff, where he saw the corpses and weapons of the ten elders of the Demon Cult, as well as the sword techniques and methods of breaking them carved on the stone wall.

Ning Zhongze was stunned. He never expected that so many things would happen in less than half a day. He never thought that the ten elders of the Demon Cult who died in Huashan seventy years ago would die in this way.

——Killing the ten elders of the Demon Cult was the most glorious achievement in the battle between the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Demon Cult, but the means used to kill the Demon Cult were really not up to par.

The leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect at that time strictly ordered the few disciples who knew the truth to keep it secret, and only said to the outside world that the masters of the Five Mountains Sword Sect joined forces to kill the ten elders of the Demon Sect.

Decades later, not to mention outsiders, even the Five Mountains Sword Sect themselves believed the latter version.

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze are no exception.

Upon hearing the truth that the Five Mountains Sword Sect had killed the Ten Elders of the Demon Cult, Ning Zhongze couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Yue Buqun was completely different. He was filled with emotion: "Junior sister, although I used to say that good can never prevail over evil, every time I heard about fellow martial artists being killed by the evil cult, I would inevitably feel confused. But today, I finally understand what it means that good can never prevail over evil."

"After being trapped in the cave, the ten demons tried every possible means to carve out a way out, but they stopped when they were less than half an inch away from chiseling through the cliff wall."

"After that, they carved the sword techniques of our Five Mountains Sword Sects on the wall and put all their energy into cracking them, one move at a time, racking their brains and forcing them to copy. They thought that this would prove that they had won, but in the end, they helped us preserve these lost sword techniques, and I discovered them in such an incredible way."

"If this is not God's will, I really can't find any other possibility."

Ning Zhongze was stunned for a moment, and the disappointment he had just felt disappeared in an instant.

Yue Buqun was obviously stimulated by this incident, and he was rarely emotional, saying: "Seventy years ago, there was such a huge gap between the strength of our Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Demon Sect, but we were still able to fight them to a draw."

"Now that the Taoist demon has been eliminated, the century-long feud between our Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Demon Sect may be ended in our generation."

When Yue Buqun thought of the exquisite sword techniques of the Five Mountains sects engraved on the stone walls of the Cliff of Regret, his heart was once again filled with ambition.

He had always thought that the Huashan Sect would prosper under Shi Potian's leadership, regain the position of leader of the Five Mountains, and even step by step reach a position on par with Shaolin and Wudang.

But now, if the latter one remains unchanged, the former one may change.

Why couldn't he lead the Huashan Sect to regain the position of leader of the Five Mountains, and then pass the position to Shi Potian?
The more Yue Buqun thought about it, the more hopeful he felt this matter might be.

If one wants to sit on the position of leader of the Five Mountains, the three most important things are one's own strength, two is prestige, and three is the overall strength of the sect.

Among these three points, personal strength is the most important and indispensable, and as for the other two, just one of them will suffice.

The overall strength of a sect is strong, which means that there are enough people and power to obey your orders.

The same can be achieved if one's prestige is high enough.

His master had lost his position as the leader of the Five Mountains because of an internal conflict in the Huashan Sect, which had caused a great loss of strength, but the more important reason was that he himself had been seriously injured and his own strength was no longer sufficient to be the leader of the Five Mountains.

Otherwise, even if their Huashan Sect had to give up the position of leader of the Five Mountains, it would not be so embarrassing and undignified.

Now, the tyranny of Zuo Lengchan of Songshan Sect made the other four sects feel fearful. He took advantage of the faction of retiring to unite the other four sects, and he no longer lacked prestige.

With the lost skills and methods of breaking the enemy from the Five Mountains Sword Sect, and knowing both himself and the enemy, his strength will surely surpass Zuo Lengchan.

Then next, as long as there is a suitable opportunity, he will be able to seize the position of leader of the Five Mountains from Zuo Lengchan.
