Shi Potian travels through Linghu Chong

Chapter 74 The situation is complete
Yue Buqun said: "Junior sister, you just told me that the rumor about the Sunflower Manual might have been spread by the Demon Cult, and we misunderstood Zuo Lengchan. Now it seems that this is not the case."

It was late at night and he had just returned to Yunu Peak less than half an hour ago when Ding Mian and his companions hurried over to pay their respects.

It could only be that Ding Mian and the others had been keeping an eye on the movements of Yunu Peak, waiting for him to return to the mountain, which is why they could have arrived so timely and so quickly.

Ning Zhongze also reacted, somewhat incredulously: "Brother, you mean that the people who ambushed Hengshan Sect were not from the Demon Sect but from Songshan Sect? How is this possible! Why would they do this?"

Yue Buqun said: "We will know soon."

He raised his voice and instructed the disciples outside: "Tao Jun, take them to the Zhengqi Hall to sit down first, prepare tea and snacks, and don't be negligent. Then notify everyone to gather outside."

"Yes." Tao Jun responded and turned to leave.

Yue Buqun smiled at Ning Zhongze and said, "Ding Mian and his gang are ignorant of etiquette. They came to our house so late at night as rude guests. We can't treat them like that. Junior Sister, find me some clean clothes. Let's go meet them."

Ning Zhongze was a little nervous at first, but seeing Yue Buqun so calm, he felt relieved and said, "Okay." He helped Yue Buqun wash up simply, changed into clean and formal clothes, and swept away the dust from the days' travel, and then they walked out of Youshou Buwei Xuan together.

"Master, Master Wife."

The Huashan disciples had been waiting outside the pavilion for a long time. When they saw Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze coming, they all bowed.
Yue Buqun nodded slightly, and after a quick glance, he noticed that two people were missing, and asked, "Where are Dayou and Bai Luo?"

Tao Jun hurried forward and said, "Sixth Senior Brother has gone to the Cliff of Repentance. I have asked Ninth Senior Brother to go and call him."

Yue Buqun frowned and said, "Your senior brother has already gone down the mountain, what is he doing on the cliff?" Without waiting for the disciple to answer, he said, "Forget it, don't worry about him, just follow me."

But he remembered that his sixth disciple liked to imitate his eldest disciple in everything, and this time he should also learn from him to practice in seclusion on the Cliff of Repentance.

After Yue Buqun finished speaking, he and Ning Zhongze walked towards Zhengqi Hall.

All Huashan disciples followed the two men in the order of entry.

Soon, everyone arrived outside the Zhengqi Hall.

Yue Buqun looked into the hall and his pupils suddenly shrank.

In addition to Ding Mian, Lu Bai, Le Hou, Lu Zhengrong and Tianan Taoist mentioned by Tao Jun, there were three other people sitting in the guest seats of Zhengqi Hall.

Among the three men, one had a yellow face and was tall, one was a fat dwarf with dark skin, and the other was a skinny man with sunken cheeks. They were all in their fifties or sixties, with Huashan Sect's long swords on their waists.

They were none other than his former fellow disciples of the Huashan Sword Sect, Cheng Buyou, Feng Buping, and Cong Buqi.

Yue Buqun guessed the Songshan Sect's plan almost instantly. He was shocked and angry, but he was very shrewd and did not show it on his face. Only the smile on his face unconsciously turned a little colder.

Ning Zhongze did not have the ability to cultivate his qi. When he saw the three people, his face changed drastically and he cried out, "Why are they here? Senior Brother?" He looked at Yue Buqun worriedly.

Yue Buqun said: "It doesn't matter, let's see what tricks they can come up with." He led everyone into the hall.

Everyone in the hall had already heard the footsteps outside and knew that Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze had arrived.

As guests, Ding Mian and others were under the Huashan leader Yue Buqun in status. Logically, they should have stood up and greeted them. However, they just sat in their seats without moving, as if they had not noticed the two people at all, with undisguised malice.

Feng Buping, Cheng Buyou and Cong Buqi stared at Yue Buqun fiercely, their faces full of hostility, as if they were ready to attack at any time.

Seeing that they didn't even care about the superficial harmony, Yue Buqun ignored them and sat on the main seat. He said in a cold voice: "Brother Feng, you three have no connection with Huashan Sect for a long time. What are you doing here in Huashan?"

Feng Buping sneered, "It was your Senior Brother Yue who bought Mount Hua? You don't allow others to go up the mountain? Was it given to you by the Emperor?"

Yue Buqun snorted and said, "If you all want to go to Huashan for fun, of course you are welcome to do so. However, Yue Buqun is no longer your senior brother. I will return the three characters 'Senior Brother Yue' to you as they are."

Feng Buping said, "Yue Buqun, your master used trickery to seize the Huashan sect. Today we have to settle this old score. You don't want me to call you 'Senior Brother Yue'. Humph, after we settle the score, even if you kneel on the ground and beg me to call you again, it will still be hard to move me."

Yue Buqun said calmly: "You want to settle accounts? What accounts? How do you calculate it?"

Feng Buping shouted, "Your Qi Sect has usurped the position of the leader of Huashan for more than 20 years. It is time for you to give up the position. I have already informed the Five Mountains Alliance Leader, Leader Zuo, and I have received the flag order to take charge of Huashan." As he spoke, he took out the Five Mountains flag from his arms.

The Huashan disciples knew nothing about the Sword and Qi sects, but they were all shocked when they saw the Five Mountains Flag.

Only Yue Buqun was delighted.

With this incident today, the alliance of Huashan, Hengshan, Taishan and Hengshan to fight against Songshan Sect has been completely completed, and the day when Huashan Sect will regain the leadership of the Five Mountains has been brought a big step closer.

As for how to deal with today's incident...

Yue Buqun was not afraid at all, but was eager to try.

He has been studying the Five Mountains Sword Techniques and the corresponding methods to break them on the stone wall of Siguo Cliff these days. Today he can use Ding Mian and others to practice against Zuo Lengchan in the future.

Yue Buqun ignored Feng Buping and said to Taoist Tianan and Lu Zhengrong, "I have probably guessed why Taoist Tianan, Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Ding, and Senior Brother Lu came here today. What are you here for? Do Senior Brother Tianmen and Mr. Mo Da know about this?"

Taoist Tianan felt a little guilty, his eyes were evasive, and he didn't dare to respond.

Lu Zhengrong said righteously, "Of course, it is to maintain the reputation of our Five Mountains Sword Sect and uphold the righteousness of the martial arts world. Brother Yue, we outsiders should not interfere in the affairs of your sect, but our Five Mountains Sword Sects have formed an alliance and share honor and disgrace. If one sect does not handle things properly, the other four sects will also be disgraced and laughed at by the world."

Yue Buqun said: "Brother Lu, Taoist Tianan, there are some things you don't know the truth about and you are deceived by others. This is not your fault. You should go back and ask Mr. Mo Da and Taoist Tianmen first, and don't let others use you as a gun."

Lu Bai couldn't listen any longer and said in a cold voice: "Yue Buqun, what do you mean by this? Do you think that Senior Brother Zuo has wronged you? And you deliberately used Junior Brother Lu and Junior Brother Tianan to deal with you?"

Yue Buqun said bluntly: "Shouldn't you know these things better than me?"

Lu Bai's face changed, and before he could say anything, Lu Zhengrong had already hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "Yue Buqun, Alliance Leader Zuo has worked so hard for our Five Mountains Sword Sect and has done so many things, yet you actually slandered Alliance Leader Zuo like this!"

“No wonder Alliance Leader Zuo issued this Five Mountains Alliance Leader Order, asking us to seek justice for Senior Brother Feng and clean up the evildoers in the sect.”

Before he finished speaking, he heard an angry shout from outside: "Shut up! Who the hell are you? How dare you speak nonsense in front of our Huashan Sect!"

It is not far from Siguo Cliff to Zhengqi Hall, only about ten miles of mountain road.

Lu Dayou and Luo Yingbai had already arrived outside, but they did not dare to barge in because they saw their master talking to someone.

It was not until he heard about Lu Zhengrong’s disgrace and his mentor that Lu Dayou could no longer bear it and started cursing.

Ding Mian and others were startled and turned around quickly. They were relieved when they saw that the person coming was not Shi Potian.

But they didn't want to delay any longer.

Ding Mian winked at everyone. Lu Zhengrong immediately understood, raised his left foot, and kicked the chair next to him towards Lu Dayou, cursing: "Little bastard, is this how Yue Buqun taught you to talk to your elders? It's true that the top beam is crooked and the bottom beam is crooked!"

"Alliance Master Zuo made the right decision in issuing the Five Mountains Alliance Leader Order. If we don't rectify the situation as soon as possible, Huashan Sect will sooner or later become a laughing stock of the world, and by then our Five Mountains Sword Sect will also lose face. Today, I will first destroy you, the little beast, and then help Senior Brother Feng to eliminate the evil in Huashan Sect."

As he said that, Lu Zhengrong pounced towards Lu Dayou.

Ning Zhongze saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, trying to stop Lu Zhengrong, but as soon as she took a step, Cheng Buyu blocked her way: "Madam Yue, things here haven't been clarified yet, where are you going?"

Ning Zhongze was anxious to save people and shouted, "Get out of my way." He swung his sword forward, trying to force Cheng Buyou to retreat.

But, this was exactly what Cheng Buyou wanted!

Cheng Buyou had heard a lot recently about how Yue Buqun's disciple Linghu Chong defeated Ding Mian and others alone, and he had also witnessed with his own eyes how strong Ding Mian and the other two were. He was very wary of Yue Buqun.

If he could capture Ning Zhongze first, he would definitely disrupt Yue Buqun's mind, and maybe even force Yue Buqun to surrender and give up his throne!

Cheng Buyou said, "Madam Yue, I see that you are a woman and I don't want to argue with you, but since you are so ungrateful, don't blame me for being rude."

Ning Zhongze couldn't stand hearing someone look down on a woman like that, so he flew into a rage and said, "If you have the ability, just use it."

Cheng Buyou shouted "Okay" and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed. There was a flash of silver light and a clanging sound. He and Ning Zhongze started fighting.

Yue Buqun wanted to train Lu Dayou into a sharp weapon to kill people and establish his authority for Shi Potian, so he would naturally not sit idly by and watch Lu Dayou get into trouble.

But just as he was about to step forward, Feng Buping and Cong Buqi stood in front of him.

Although Ding Mian, Lu Bai and Le Hou did not stand up, their aura was already tightly locked on him, and they were obviously ready to take action at any time.

Yue Buqun paused and didn't care about Lu Dayou anymore.

One-on-one, one-on-two, or even one-on-three...

He was not afraid at all, but if the other party was completely shameless and five people attacked him together, he would almost certainly be defeated.

Feng Buping said, "Senior Brother Yue, are you going to give up the position of the head of the sect or not?"

Yue Buqun said: "In the sword duel at Jade Maiden Peak, the winner was decided, and right and wrong were determined. Twenty-five years have passed, and what's the point of you bringing up the past again? If you really have the ability..."

"How was the outcome of the sword fight that day, and who saw us? The three of us are all disciples of the Sword Sect, but we didn't see anyone."

Cong Buqi interrupted Yue Buqun and asked, "If it was really your Qi Sect that won, why did the old leader Zuo issue this order and ask you to step down and let the wise take over?"

Yue Buqun's heart moved, and he followed Cong Buqi's words and said, "Since you are not satisfied with the result of the sword fight 25 years ago, I will give you another chance today. No matter who among the three of you can beat me, the position of the head of Huashan will be given to you. How do you think?"

He was not sure of winning against five people alone.

However, if these five people were to attack separately, it would be different!

There was murderous intent in Yue Buqun's eyes. The stone wall of Siguo Cliff also had the method of breaking the Sword Sect's moves engraved on it. He was ready to kill the enemy with one blow and not give Ding Mian and the others a chance to join forces.

Cong Buqi, like Cheng Buyou, was determined to rely on Zuo Lengchan's help to regain the position of the head of the Huashan Sect. He did not dare to respond when he heard this.

Feng Buping is different.

He didn't know about Zuo Lengchan's ambition to merge the Five Mountains, but the mere fact that the Huashan Sect had become a puppet vassal of the Songshan Sect was already something he couldn't accept.

He was naturally overjoyed to be able to regain the position of the leader of Huashan Sect openly and honestly at this time, and agreed without hesitation: "It's a deal. Senior Brother Yue, if you can defeat the sword in my hand today, I will never set foot in Shaanxi again in my life."

Yue Buqun said "OK" and was about to take action to kill Feng Buping first.

The winner has already been decided between Lu Dayou and Lu Zhengrong.

Lu Zhengrong did not take the young disciple Lu Dayou seriously. He did not even draw his sword. He put his right hand into a sword shape and swung it towards Lu Dayou's dantian, wanting to destroy Lu Dayou's internal strength.

And joining fingers together to form a sword is the move that Feng Qingyang uses most often when teaching Lu Dayou!

Lu Dayou responded almost instinctively. He did not retreat but instead moved forward, swinging his sword towards Lu Zhengrong. His force was not too great, and his speed was not too fast, but he got stuck in Lu Zhengrong's path.

Before Lu Zhengrong could even react, his chest was pierced by the sword.

The whole process looked extremely weird, as if Lu Zhengrong suddenly went insane and committed suicide by hitting himself on the tip of the sword.

Zhengqi Hall fell silent instantly.

Everyone stared at Lu Dayou in amazement, their faces full of disbelief.

Yue Buqun is no exception.

In other words, Yue Buqun was the most surprised!
He usually doesn't show his emotions on his face, but this time he couldn't help showing it, and a look of obvious surprise appeared on his face.

As Lu Dayou's master, he knows Lu Dayou's strength best.

Three months ago, when he returned to Huashan from Hengshan City, he had just tested Lu Dayou's martial arts.

His internal strength is mediocre and his swordsmanship is above average. Among the younger generation of Huashan Sect, he is considered outstanding, but in the martial arts world, he is at most third-rate.

Although Lu Zhengrong is not well-known in the martial arts world, he is still a fellow apprentice of the same generation as Mr. Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng, and his strength should be far superior to Lu Dayou.

But the results of the fight between the two were completely opposite!
Lu Zhengrong couldn't even take on Lu Dayou's move.

This was certainly due to Lu Zhengrong's carelessness, but it was also obviously unreasonable.

Lu Dayou himself was also shocked.

He had been fighting with Feng Qingyang all this time, and subconsciously treated Lu Zhengrong as Feng Qingyang. He never thought about winning, let alone winning with one move.

As he swung his sword, he had already thought about how to change his moves, how to dodge, and how to deal with counterattacks.

In the end, none of this was used.

He killed Lu Zhengrong with just this simple sword strike, without even expending much internal energy!
