The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 66 Heading South

Five days have already passed since we started our journey.

No foolish bandits appeared along the way, perhaps because the reputation of the Huashan Sect was becoming increasingly prominent.

The events that occurred at the Huashan Sect a few days ago have already spread.

For example, the five forces named by Fang Yunhua have been attributed to the remnants of the Japanese Communist Party related to Nangong Ling and Wuhua. After the government presented some evidence at the right time, these five forces were completely sealed off.

Not to mention, there was also the Blood-Clad Scholar, who was once known as one of the Seven Great Demons alongside the White Jade Beggar, and was simply a born villain despised by the world.

As for the other forces that left the Huashan Sect, they sang praises to Fang Yunhua.

And unsurprisingly, in order to divide the inheritance of those five forces, they have been fighting each other in private, so it is impossible for them to unite and go to Mount Hua together again.

As for Fang Yunhua's combat strength, various rumors inevitably arose.

Previously, he had already been classified as being on par with Chu Liuxiang. Now, after becoming the young sect leader, coupled with his achievement of single-handedly killing more than twenty people at the summit of Yuntai Peak, he has successfully been promoted to the level of a renowned elder.

After all, Xia Muqing, the Cloud Swordsman; Du Yu, the Tiger-Eyed Divine Blade; and Li Cang, the Hero of the Vast Ocean, are all formidable opponents.

To discerning observers, Fang Yunhua's most impressive feat was easily shaking off five assassins and instantly achieving a brilliant victory of killing two of them.

The assassin organization formed by Xue Xiaoren has already caught the attention of many people and has quite a reputation. For example, in the original storyline's "Painted Eyebrows" chapter, they were hired by Li Yuhan, the young master of Yongcui Manor, and Liu Wumei to assassinate Chu Liuxiang, who had defeated Shi Guanyin. This speaks volumes.

The loss of five assassins at the Huashan Sect has sparked secret discussions among those who are paying attention to this assassin organization.

Meanwhile, some information about Yuan Suiyun, Shangguan Cangxing, and Hua Zhenzhen, who seemed to have instantly killed one of the assassins, was also noticed by some people with ulterior motives.

The fact that the Huashan Sect suddenly intervened and nearly killed the Beggars' Sect, while also giving the Southern Shaolin a slap in the face, has forced other prestigious sects to pay more attention to them.

These events were within Fang Yunhua's expectations, and he was certain that the now-retired Northern Shaolin Temple would be the one paying the most attention to the Huashan Sect, since Henan, where it was located, was one of the targets Fang Yunhua originally intended to expand his influence in.

Furthermore, Fang Yunhua was certain that no matter how much the Northern Shaolin Temple paid attention, they wouldn't dare to do anything, because even without his permission, the Southern Shaolin Temple would keep a close eye on the Northern Shaolin Temple. After all, Wuhua had an even more troublesome mess in Fang Yunhua's hands.

Although the diary had been destroyed, the fact that Fang Yunhua shared this secret with Chu Liuxiang and shared the risks made it very difficult for the Southern Shaolin Temple to handle the matter. They could only try to appease, appease, and appease again.

To be fair, the compensation offered by the Southern Shaolin Temple was quite good.

In five days, Fang Yunhua digested half a bottle of Lesser Rejuvenation Pills. One bottle contained twelve pills, and if all of them were digested, the effect of one pill would be enough to enhance his internal strength after a month of arduous cultivation.

Using the Mingyu Gong technique can completely eliminate the poison of the medicine and avoid the accumulation of drug resistance. Two bottles of Xiao Huan Dan can temporarily increase internal strength by two years. In addition, there is a Da Huan Dan that can directly increase internal strength by ten years.

Based on his current projected cultivation progress, he is currently at the bottleneck of breaking through the fourth to fifth level of the Mingyu Gong.

Meanwhile, during these few days in the carriage, Fang Yunhua and Yuan Suiyun had several sparring matches, without using internal energy, purely judging the outcome by their techniques. However, for Fang Yunhua, the greatest gain was not from the sparring, but from his exceptional comprehension, which allowed him to learn almost all of the many unique skills Yuan Suiyun possessed.

Most importantly, Yuan Suiyun deliberately revealed some martial arts techniques that he shouldn't have mastered.

The Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeves technique he usually uses was originally taught to Yuan Suiyun by the elders of Wudang Mountain to repay the kindness of Wuzheng Manor, which also allows him to use it freely outside.

But like the clapping hands of the Japanese Koga gaiters and the forty-nine moves of the Bashan Taoist Gu's Returning Wind Dance Willow Sword...
Using these techniques would pose some risks to Yuan Suiyun.

Yuan Suiyun's proactive exposure was undoubtedly a test of Fang Yunhua's attitude, because he would be facing Shi Guanyin next, and he would naturally not be able to hold back any longer. This was probably more related to the extent of his contribution to the plan.

Fang Yunhua's solution was to play dumb. He secretly memorized the moves the other party used through his superb comprehension and figured out the operating method in subsequent exchanges. He never mentioned the origin of these moves.

Yuan Suiyun also maintained this tacit understanding and displayed all twenty-seven unique skills he had mastered.

Four years later, at his peak, Yuan Suiyun possessed thirty-three unique skills. Apart from the Qingfeng Thirteen Styles, which were no longer within his reach, the remaining five were likely acquired gradually through transactions on Bat Island over the next four years.

Fang Yunhua didn't try to learn too many of these unique skills. He knew the principle of being a jack of all trades and master of none. The Qingfeng Thirteen Styles he had mastered were already top-notch sword techniques. After understanding the true meaning of martial arts that was extremely compatible with him, he could create his own Qingfeng Fourteen Styles.

Instead of focusing on the trivial, he studied the 49-hand Returning Wind and Willow Sword technique, which was not a bad match for him.

However, it's still worth learning such a dashing and pretentious move as "Flowing Clouds and Flying Sleeves," because the way those big sleeves sway back and forth is undeniably cool.

During their subsequent journey, Fang Yunhua continued to consume Xiao Huan Dan while also exchanging and secretly learning from Yuan Suiyun. The two chatted from time to time, finding it particularly enjoyable.

It must be said that Fang Yunhua is more compatible with Yuan Suiyun than Chu Liuxiang, who is a purely good person. After all, in a fundamental sense, Fang Yunhua's behavior cannot be classified as a purely good person; he only cares about the Huashan Sect.

His stance is more like a division between insiders and outsiders. He will wholeheartedly support those insiders whom he approves of, but as for those outsiders who are hostile to him, he will not care whether they are good or bad people, and he will never hesitate to take action once he takes action.

He will stop at nothing when necessary.

Time flies. It was the tenth day since Fang Yunhua finished a bottle of Lesser Rejuvenation Pills and traveled south from the Huashan Sect.

Fang Yunhua and Yuan Suiyun arrived at their destination, Zhibei Villa outside Songjiang Prefecture.

At the entrance of the villa, an old man who looked down on Fang Yunhua was glaring at him angrily.

"Second Brother Zuo!" Fang Yunhua greeted him warmly.

However, Zuo Qinghou immediately launched an attack:
“@&#￥&@##@……!”
