Shi Potian travels through Linghu Chong

Chapter 89 Give me an explanation (ask for a monthly ticket~)

Master Ding Xian was a Buddhist master, and had never seen someone like Zuo Lengchan who could confuse right and wrong. Her face turned pale and she said coldly, "Zuo Lengchan, the treacherous villain you are talking about is probably you!"

As she said these words, her eyes met Zuo Lengchan's closely, to see if there was any guilt or shame, or anger or hatred on his face.

Zuo Lengchan's face didn't even move a muscle. He turned to look at Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu and said, "Master Fangzheng, Taoist Chongxu, am I right? Master Dingxian was bewitched by a villain and has a deep misunderstanding of me. She won't listen to any explanation from me."

Fang Zheng and Chongxu looked at each other, helplessness in their eyes.

They were well aware of Zuo Lengchan's ambitions, and they also understood that Zuo Lengchan invited them here to use them.

However, the activities of the Demon Cult have been rampant in recent times and there is a sign of a resurgence. They cannot sit idly by and watch the internal strife among the Five Mountains Sword Sects. They can only accept Zuo Lengchan's invitation and participate in the Five Mountains Sword Conference together with the Songshan Sect.

Nun Dingxian was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, her face turned pale with anger, and she said, "You...you...you are shameless!"

Zuo Lengchan said, "Master, you said such things because you were provoked by others. I don't blame you."

When Master Ding Xian heard the words "I don't blame you", she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, and she suddenly raised her left palm, ready to slap Zuo Lengchan.

Zuo Lengchan was delighted and did not plan to dodge. He was ready to use his shoulder to block the palm strike to prove that Master Ding Xian had been bewitched by someone and had a deep hatred for him.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yue Buqun suddenly stepped forward, stopped Master Ding Xian, and advised: "Master, if you take action now, it will only give him an advantage. We all know the truth, and the evidence is solid. There is no need to argue with him. With Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu here, they will definitely do you justice."

Zuo Lengchan was slightly surprised.

In his impression, Yue Buqun is a hypocrite who appears humble but is actually cowardly, and only likes to hide behind the scenes and use some unsavory tricks. He didn't expect that Yue Buqun would take the initiative to step forward this time.

Nun Dingxian was originally angry, but after hearing what Yue Buqun said, she quickly calmed down and said, "Senior Brother Yue is right. With Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu here, the true colors of some people will only be exposed faster."

Zuo Lengchan said: "I hope so."

Nun Dingxian looked at Zuo Lengchan coldly. She said nothing, but veins on her hands were bulging and she fiddled with the rosary beads much faster.

Master Fang Zheng said, "Before we came here, we didn't know exactly what happened. We can only discuss the matter based on facts and try to be impartial and fair as possible. If there are any biases or omissions, please forgive me."

Yue Buqun said: "Master Fang Zheng is really too modest to say this."

Taoist Chongxu sighed and said, "Master Fangzheng is telling the truth. We two old guys came here today just because we don't want to see the Five Mountains Alliance, which has been friendly for nearly a hundred years, end up with swords and fratricide."

Yue Buqun said in a clear voice: "Master Chongxu, rest assured. We have already discussed that today we will only execute the main culprit and will not investigate the rest."

The venue of the Five Mountains Sword Meeting was very large, and the mountain wind was howling, but Yue Buqun's voice was clearly heard by everyone.

Zuo Lengchan sneered, looked around the venue, and said loudly: "The current situation of our Five Mountains Alliance is all caused by that treacherous villain. The rest of the people were deceived by him and have no fault. As long as they are willing to reform themselves, this leader can forgive them for their past mistakes."

Cong Buqi, Cheng Buyou, Yu Jizi, Yu Yinzi and others were all startled, as they all realized that Zuo Lengchan was hinting at them.

Master Fang Zheng saw that the two were confronting each other and refused to give in. He put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, this is very good. Mr. Yue, it is noon now. Mr. Yue, please hold a sword meeting."

These words seemed fair, but in fact they handed the initiative to Yue Buqun, the host, rather than Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Five Mountains.

Yue Buqun was overjoyed when he heard Master Fangzheng's preference. He immediately invited Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu to take the seats of honor, and also asked Master Dingxian and the other three to return to the stage and take their seats.

Yue Buqun thought that Zuo Lengchan would do something weird, but he didn't expect that Zuo Lengchan just gave him a cold look, strode onto the platform and sat in the center.

Yue Buqun's heart trembled, and he felt even more uneasy, but at this point, he could only take one step at a time. Except for the people from the Five Mountains Sword Sect, most of the outsiders present, such as Master Fangzheng, Taoist Chongxu, and the large group of people from the martial arts world, were brought here by Zuo Lengchan.

Yue Buqun didn't say too many polite words, and said directly: "Everyone, we are holding the Five Mountains Sword Meeting in advance today with only one purpose, and that is to seek justice for the disciples of Hengshan Sect who died unjustly." He glanced at Yue Lingshan next to him.

Yue Lingshan nodded and immediately ordered the Huashan disciples to bring the gangsters captured by Shi Potian and Zhong Zhen and others to the stage.

Before going on stage, many gangsters had already decided to curse and expose Zuo Lengchan, but when they were given a cold look by Zuo Lengchan, they were afraid to speak.

Zhong Zhen and other people from the Songshan School had different expressions. Some looked happy, some asked for help, some were ashamed, and some closed their eyes and said nothing.

Zuo Lengchan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his right hand in his sleeve suddenly clenched into a ball, with veins bulging. He could see that Zhong Zhen and the others' martial arts had been abolished, and his hatred for Yue Buqun and the Huashan Sect instantly reached its peak.

Yue Buqun said: "Master Dingjing, Master Dingyi."

Upon hearing this, Master Dingjing and Master Dingyi walked onto the stage, first clasped their hands in greeting towards Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu, then bowed to the people around them. Then they began to talk about how the Hengshan Sect had received a message from Zuo Lengchan to come to support the Huashan Sect.

Unexpectedly, just as they opened their mouths, Zuo Lengchan interrupted them and said, "Wait a minute. Two nuns, I did send a message to nun Dingxian, asking her to send people to support Huashan. But I didn't just send the message to your Hengshan sect, I also sent messages to Taishan and Hengshan sects. It's just that something unexpected happened on the way, so the message was not delivered to the leaders of the two sects in time."

Tang Ying'e, the deputy leader of Songshan Sect and the sixth of the Thirteen Guardians, stood up and said, "It was my negligence that I did not send more disciples. As a result, they were killed by the demons on the way. Not only did they fail to pass on the message, but they also lost their lives in the hands of the demons."

Zuo Lengchan said, "Brother Tang, don't blame yourself. We are not saints, and there are always times when we are careless. You can correct it in the future."

When Master Dingyi saw the two of them singing the same tune, her two light eyebrows immediately raised up.

Nun Dingjing knew very well that her junior sister had a bad temper, so she reached out and grabbed Nun Dingyi, signaling her not to fall into Zuo Lengchan's trap. She continued the story, saying that they were trapped on the cliff of Wan'an Mountain, Yilin escaped by chance and went to Huashan for help, and Shi Potian, Yue Lingshan and Zhong Zhen appeared one after another.

"I originally thought that Zhong Zhen came to rescue us, but I didn't expect that he wanted to take advantage of the situation and threaten the safety of Hengshan disciples to force me to agree to the merger of the Five Mountains and instigate me to usurp the position of Hengshan Sect Leader from Junior Sister Ding Xian. This was witnessed by my nephew Linghu of Huashan Sect, Miss Yue, and all the disciples of Hengshan Sect."

Zuo Lengchan did not wait for Master Dingjing to continue and interrupted again, "My Five Mountains Sword Sects have always been of the same blood. We have been working together for more than a hundred years and have been like one family. I have seen that there have been many major incidents in the martial arts world recently, and I do want to unite the five sects into one, unify the command, and resist the disaster in the future."

"But I sent Junior Brothers Ding Mian, Lu Bai, and Le Hou to support Huashan Sect, not Junior Brother Zhong. If he really did what Master said, adding insult to injury and sowing discord, then he is truly guilty of a heinous crime. I will punish him severely."

Zhong Zhen originally closed his eyes and said nothing, but upon hearing this, he suddenly opened his eyes and shouted loudly: "Senior Brother Zuo, I'm sorry for you."

"I heard you talk about the idea of ​​uniting the Five Mountains that day. I felt that this matter was related to the fate of the Central Plains martial arts world and the prosperity of our Five Mountains Sword Sect. I couldn't delay it for a day, so I took the initiative to find these brothers who were on good terms with me and wanted to persuade the leaders of each sect to agree to this matter. I never thought... Alas, I was eager for quick success and forgot the righteousness of the Five Mountains Alliance. I acted improperly and I am willing to accept the punishment from my senior brother."

The other sixteen people from Songshan immediately understood what Zhong Zhen meant and started to agree. Their words were different, but the general meaning was the same as Zhong Zhen's.

They were dedicated to the public good but used the wrong means. Now they have repented and are willing to accept punishment in order to get rid of Zuo Lengchan completely.

Zuo Lengchan said coldly: "You have done something wrong, and you should be severely punished. However, it will never go to the point of destroying your martial arts. Yue Buqun, you need to give me an explanation for this matter."

Zuo Lengchan knew that his method was not very clever, but he knew that it would definitely work.

What he relied on was never any truth, but the disciples of Songshan behind him, his own martial arts and the Sun Moon Demon Sect.

As long as Shaolin and Wudang still want the Five Mountains Sword Sect to be at the forefront of the fight against the Demon Sect for them, and do not want to see the Five Mountains Sword Sect erupt in internal strife and suffer a serious loss of strength, they can only choose to compromise and persuade both sides to put the overall situation first.

At times like this, the party that is more reasonable and more concerned about face will suffer more.
