Lady, let me explain.

Chapter 21 Gathering
Now Huashan has put me in charge, who is in favor and who is against?

——Of course, Lin Yi still understood the principle of “three refusal and three declines”.

My father-in-law just passed away, so I can’t eat in an ugly way.

"Master's Wife, this... Now that Master has unfortunately passed away, you should take over the position of headmaster. How can I be worthy of this position... This is absolutely unacceptable!"

Ning Zhongze sighed, "Huashan is not comparable to Emei and Hengshan. How can a woman like me be the headmaster?"

Lin Yi said sternly, "As the saying goes, in an emergency, we must take the necessary measures. Master's wife is well-known for her chivalry, and a woman is as brave as a man. It is only natural that she should take on the position of headmaster!"

Ning Zhongze still shook her head. She knew very well that her personality was not suitable for being the head of the sect.

For example, when facing Zuo Lengchan's conspiracy to encroach on the other four factions, she always radically suggested uniting the other four factions and fighting Zuo Lengchan in a fierce battle, even if it meant both sides would suffer losses...

"Pingzhi, now that Bright Summit is just around the corner, the Huashan Sect is at a critical juncture. The position of Sect Leader belongs to you... Do you think my Master's Wife should beg you for help?"

When the other Huashan disciples heard this, they hurriedly advised, "Junior Brother Lin, don't refuse!"

"Pingzhi, the position of Sect Leader can only be held by you..."

Lin Yi looked around at everyone...why did he feel like he was wearing a yellow robe? Of course, becoming the leader of the Huashan Sect was just the beginning.

He looked at Ning Zhongze again and sighed, "Now at this critical moment, I am grateful for the trust of Master's Wife and all the senior brothers and sisters. I will temporarily take over the position of headmaster. When I return to Huashan in the future, I will appoint more capable people."

All the disciples had no objection and quickly bowed to greet the new leader.

Ning Zhongze smiled slightly, but his heart ached again when he thought of the dead Yue Buqun.

"Brother was determined to revitalize the Huashan Sect, but he went astray. In the future, I must persuade Pingzhi to not let him make the same mistake again..."

After becoming the previous leader, Lin Yi immediately ordered everyone from Huashan Sect to join forces with Wudang, Kunlun and other sects.

On the way, Ning Zhongze had the leisure to ask about what Lin Yi had experienced in the past two months.

Lin Yi had previously told him that Yue Lingshan should travel with the Emei Sect, so Ning Zhongze was not worried about his daughter.

Lin Yi briefly recounted what he had seen and heard in the past two months, and only briefly mentioned the reason for his sudden improvement in martial arts skills.

Ning Zhongze did not delve into it. Before Linghu Chong learned the Dugu Nine Swords, Yue Buqun questioned her repeatedly, but she always chose to believe it.

Now that she had Linghu Chong's experience as a lesson, she wouldn't ask any more questions.

Half an hour later, the Huashan Sect and the Wudang Sect reunited.

Upon learning of Yue Buqun's death, Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou, Zhang Songxi and others came to express their condolences.

"Master Yue's death is not just a tragedy for Huashan, it is a shared sorrow for all the righteous. Madam Yue, please accept my condolences. We will eradicate the Demon Sect to comfort Master Yue's spirit in heaven."

Ning Zhongze returned the greeting. She was not a delicate woman. Although she was extremely sad, she had cheered up.

Then, Song Yuanqiao looked at the remaining soldiers of the Huashan Sect and asked, "Madam Yue, what are your plans now?"

Among the six major sects, Shaolin and Wudang are the strongest, followed by Emei and Kunlun, while Kongtong and Huashan are the weakest.

Now that Yue Buqun is dead, even if the Huashan Sect wants to go down the mountain and escort his body back to the Central Plains, the other five sects will have nothing to blame.

Ning Zhongze took the opportunity to push Lin Yi forward and said, "This is my son-in-law, who has succeeded as the head of the Huashan Sect. If Senior Brother Song has any instructions, feel free to assign him to do it."

Song Yuanqiao quickly bowed and said, "I dare not." He looked at Lin Yi again, "I wonder what Sect Leader Lin's plan is?"

Song Yuanqiao was a refined and easygoing man, and he certainly wouldn't look down on Lin Yi just because he was young. Furthermore, Yin Liting had just praised Lin Yi's swordsmanship.

Lin Yi cupped his hands and said, "The demonic sect's demons knocked my master off a cliff. How can the Huashan Sect return to the Central Plains without avenging this?" Song Yuanqiao nodded, a hint of praise. He thought that although Lin Yi was young, he had considerable martial arts skills and a righteous spirit. It was not impossible for him to revive the Huashan Sect in the future.

In the past, the Huashan Sect was the leader of the Five Mountains and was no less powerful than Wudang. However, due to a battle of sword energy, it was severely damaged and has declined to this day.

Yu Lianzhou asked, "Master Lin, now that we are at Bright Summit, do you have any good strategies for defeating the enemy?"

Lin Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Guangmingding has seven peaks and thirteen cliffs, and is heavily defended. Furthermore, it is a natural barrier that is difficult to cross. The six major sects absolutely cannot act separately. I suggest concentrating our forces and attacking in one go."

Zhang Wuji came out from the secret passage, so something must have happened on Guangmingding. The Ming Cult was already leaderless, and if Yang Xiao and others had an accident, it would be even more of a mess.

Lin Yi knew that the sooner he attacked, the greater the advantage would be.

Zhang Wuji must have gone to Guangmingding. The Nine Yang Manual is a holy book for healing. If he waits for a few more days, perhaps the injuries of Yang Xiao and the others will be healed.

It’s a pity that his influence is too small to be the leader of the six major sects.

Song Yuanqiao and Yu Lianzhou both nodded in praise. After today's defeat, they also realized this.

Song Yuanqiao said, "I have sent Junior Brother Yin to meet the Emei Sect. We will discuss this matter again when Master Miejue arrives."

"it is good."

Lin Yi thought of Yue Lingshan and felt a little worried.

……

Afterwards, the five major sects gathered together, and the Shaolin, Kunlun, and Kongtong sects also came to pay tribute to Yue Buqun's body and express their condolences to Ning Zhongze.

It was not until the evening that people from the Emei Sect arrived.

Lin Yi saw Yue Lingshan from afar and finally felt relieved.

Yue Lingshan ran over, her face covered with tears and her eyes red, obviously she had just cried bitterly.

"Brother Ping, is my father really... dead?"

On the way, she learned from Yin Liting that Lin Yi was still alive - but at the same time she also learned the bad news that Yue Buqun was besieged by the five scattered members of the Ming Cult and fell off a cliff to his death.

Seeing Yue Lingshan staggering, Lin Yi hugged her, comforted her for a while, and then handed her over to his master's wife.

After that, he waited for Nun Miejue to meet with the leaders of the other four factions before stepping forward to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your care along the way, Nun."

Nun Miejue looked at him. When Lin Yi suddenly disappeared last night, she knew that she had fallen into a trap. Wei Yixiao lured the tiger away from the mountain and specifically sought out Lin Yi to avenge his broken arm.

But she never thought that Lin Yi could come back alive, which made her curious.

"What happened last night?"

Of course, everyone in the Emei Sect was curious as well, and they all pricked up their ears to listen.

Lin Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Last night, my nun and I were chasing Wei Yixiao together. Because our internal energy wasn't strong enough, we rested halfway and fell into an ambush. One of the Five Wandering Ming Cult members, Shuo Bu De, put us into his bag..."

"Then I killed Wei Yixiao and Shuo Bude and rushed here."

When Lin Yi said he was ambushed and put into a bag, everyone's heart was lifted. They were worried for him and wondered how they would escape...

But they never expected that Lin Yi's tone would suddenly change, and he said that he had killed two people to escape, which really surprised everyone!
"Wei Yixiao died?"

There was a commotion among the people of Emei Sect. Wei Yixiao's body movements and his ability to suck human blood left a deep impression on them.

A male disciple was killed by bloodsucking and Zhou Zhiruo was seriously injured. The Emei Sect and Wei Yixiao had a deep hatred for each other. Now that they heard that he was dead, everyone was very happy!
