Lady, let me explain.

Chapter 73 Parting on bad terms
A group of Songshan School disciples drew their swords and surrounded them.

The Huashan Sect disciples also drew their swords and confronted him.

The scene immediately became tense and all the guests were horrified.

"Master Zuo, the overall situation is more important!" someone advised.

Zuo Lengchan was extremely confused for a moment. After this incident, the Songshan Sect lost face and was at odds with the Huashan Sect. How could the Five Mountains Sect Conference be held?

Regardless of whether the other four mountains agree to the merger or not, if they really merge into the Five Mountains Sect, Zuo Lengchan will not be able to become the leader.

Just now, in public, all the heroes saw him being defeated by Lin Yi in one move. If the Five Mountains Sect really chose a leader, it would only be Lin Yi who got the upper hand!
If a fight really breaks out now, the Taishan and Hengshan sects will not intervene, but the Hengshan sect led by Linghu Chong will definitely help.

In addition, the Songshan Sect was attacked a few days ago and its strength was greatly reduced. Even if they won the fight, there would not be many people left in the Songshan Sect!
The most important thing is that after receiving Lin Yi's sword, Zuo Lengchan was a little scared!

Ding Mian angrily shouted, "Lin Yi, you killed a guest of the Songshan Sect in public. That's really going too far! If you don't give us an explanation today, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

Ning Zhongze said loudly, "The Five Mountains Sword Sects are of the same blood. Yu Canghai and our sect leader have a deep blood feud, yet the Songshan Sect treats him as a distinguished guest. How can this be possible? The Songshan Sect hasn't explained to us yet!"

Lin Yi sneered and said, "Let me give everyone an explanation? Okay!"

"Yu Canghai wiped out my entire Lin family. It is only natural for me to kill him. If anyone here thinks that what I did was wrong, please stand up!"

As he spoke, he secretly used his internal energy, and his voice echoed in the courtyard. People with weak internal energy only felt it was deafening. For a moment, the whole place was silent, and the heroes looked at each other in dismay.

In recent months, the reputation of Lin Yi from the Huashan Sect has risen rapidly. Everyone has heard of him. In addition to his unparalleled chivalry and superb martial arts skills, he is also young and unruly. Who would dare to offend him now?

Besides, the hatred of annihilating an entire family is irreconcilable and cannot be reconciled. People in the martial arts world are always happy to take revenge, and what Lin Yi did is in line with their values.

However, as the host, Songshan Sect's move was undoubtedly a breach of relationship.

Seeing the silence in the room, Lin Yi laughed out loud: "It seems that everyone thinks I did a good job!"

Everyone's faces darkened. They just didn't want to condemn him, but in Lin Yi's mouth, it became support for him.

"As for the Songshan Sect's objections, please speak to my heavy sword."

The faces of the people from Songshan Sect turned black and they were furious.

Lin Yi continued, "The Songshan Sect invited the Huashan Sect's enemy as a distinguished guest. The Five Great Sword Sects have been allied for over a hundred years. How ridiculous is that? How can we even talk about merging the sects?"

The situation of the Five Mountains Sword Sects is complicated now. The Songshan Sect is the only one that dominates. It takes the combined strength of the other four sects to barely fight back.

Lin Yi knew that even if he became the leader of the Five Mountains Sect, it would be difficult for him to command the other four sects.

His sights have always been on the vast martial arts world, and even the entire world. Why should he be hypocritical and fight for power and profit in a small Five Mountains Sword Sect?
Lin Yi said, "Today, our sect leader has decided that the Huashan Sect will withdraw from the Five Mountains Sword Sect. From now on, I will be unable to obey Alliance Leader Zuo's orders!"

"The Huashan Sect must leave the mountain immediately. If the Songshan Sect attempts to stop us, I will be glad to learn from the Zuo Sect Leader's superior tactics."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he waved his hand and walked out first, and the Huashan Sect people quickly followed.

He was seen holding a heavy sword, looking very majestic. The people from Songshan Sect retreated again and again. Seeing that Zuo Lengchan remained silent, no one dared to take action.

The Emei Sect now has a close relationship with Lin Yi. They are in Shu and have nothing to do with the Songshan Sect. Seeing the Huashan Sect leaving, they also said goodbye.

Seeing this, Linghu Chong thought to himself, "Emei Sect and Huashan Sect are both on the same page. Junior Brother Lin has been very kind to me, and Master's Wife has raised me since I was a child. How could I possibly fall behind?"

He immediately bowed and said, "Uncle Master Zuo, the Hengshan Sect also disagrees with the merger. I'll take my leave now." After saying that, Linghu Chong also left with a group of nuns.

The Taoist priest Tianmen of the Taishan Sect also said, "The Taishan Sect has been passed down for over three hundred years. I am incompetent and cannot carry forward the Taishan Sect, but I will never destroy the legacy of our ancestors!"

Mo Da of the Hengshan Sect had never wanted to merge, and since three of the four sects had already expressed their opinions, he refused without hesitation.

The situation changed rapidly, and all the heroes who came to watch the ceremony were shocked. A meeting of the Five Mountains to unite the sects turned into a farce. Seeing that the Songshan sect was in a mess, the heroes had to leave one after another.

……

After descending the mountain, the Huashan Sect found a small town nearby and found a small inn to stay in.

We also have to attend the Lion-Slaughtering Festival on the Double Ninth Festival, so we need to stay in Songshan for a while.

"Pingzhi, you were too impulsive to withdraw from the Five Mountains Sword Sect today," Ning Zhongze said. "This is a matter of great importance. How could you act on impulse?"

At that time, on the mountain, in front of all the heroes of the martial arts world, Lin Yi was the leader, and she couldn't refuse his face.

Yue Lingshan hurriedly said, "Mother, Brother Ping must have his reasons... I think it's best for us to withdraw from the Five Mountains Sword Sect. We in the Huashan Sect can live our own lives and avoid Zuo Lengchan's evil intentions."

"What do you know?" Ning Zhongze sighed. "If we tear our faces apart in public today and embarrass the Songshan Sect, how could Zuo Lengchan let it go?"

Lin Yi smiled. He hadn't yet settled the score with Zuo Lengchan for the attack in Luoyang! Zuo Lengchan wouldn't let it go. Wasn't he trying to strike first?

"Master's Wife, what is the most important matter for our sect?"

Ning Zhongze said firmly: "People like me who practice martial arts must, of course, eliminate demons and defend the Way!"

"And then?"

Ning Zhongze gave a bitter smile: "You're still asking about me... Secondly, it must be to carry forward the Huashan Sect."

Lin Yi said, "When the Sword and Qi sects fought, the Huashan Sect suffered heavy losses and has yet to recover. In the past two years, our eldest brother was expelled from the sect, and Master and a number of our brothers and sisters were killed in the Battle of Bright Summit. Our Huashan Sect's strength has declined, not improved."

"I am now the one who roams the world, fighting demons and defending justice. The Huashan Sect is poorly endowed and can no longer withstand the turmoil. What we need now is a period of recuperation. As the saying goes, flowing water does not compete for the lead, but for its continuous flow."

As the head of the sect, Lin Yi set the tone for development, and Ning Zhongze had no choice but to support it regardless of his opinion.

Lin Yi then decided that after the Lion-Slaying Conference, he would return to Huashan, close the mountain gate, and the Huashan Sect would rest and no longer participate in the affairs of the martial arts world. He would only allow his disciples to enter the martial arts world for training.

Lin Yi also thought that this time when he returned, he would ask Feng Qingyang to help look after the Huashan Sect, so that he could wander around the world without any worries.

As long as we appeal to his emotions and reason with him, it should not be difficult to convince Feng Qingyang.

Previously, the Six Immortals of Taogu had caused trouble in Huashan, and Feng Qingyang had also tried to capture them.

The conditions in this small inn were difficult, and there was a foul and moldy smell in the house. After dinner, Lin Yi went out for a stroll, preparing to take Yue Lingshan out for a tour.

Suddenly, he met Zhou Zhiruo on a small path. Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Yi invited her to walk around.

The two walked out of the town and walked side by side.

"Junior Sister Zhou, do you have something to talk to me about?"
