Swords emerge from Mount Hua, sweeping across the heavens from the world of Swordsman.

Cheng Buyou and Cong Buqi stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Feng Buping, bowing with their hands clasped.

[Ding! Persuaded the Sword Sect disciples to return to Mount Hua.]

Rewards: 50 Internal Energy Points, the One-Finger Divine Skill, and three Mastery Scrolls.

With the system notification, Yue Zhuoqun turned around and left with a sense of satisfaction.

Originally intended to deal with the leader of the Yellow River Gang, it unexpectedly led to the capture of Feng Ping and others along the way, a truly unexpected and delightful surprise.

Despite his defeat at Feng Buping's hands, Feng Buping's strength was truly top-notch.

Judging solely from his ability to create the Gale Sword Technique on his own, his talent and comprehension are definitely superior to Hua Shaokun's.

In the story, the three characters appear ten years later, and all possess top-notch strength.

Yue Zhuoqun has not fought Cheng Buyou and Cong Buqi, so he doesn't know their current skill level.

However, even if it's not top-tier, the difference won't be too great.

Subduing the three not only strengthens Huashan's power and prevents Zuo Lengchan from using them against Huashan in the future, but also solves Huashan's problem of lacking manpower to teach disciples.

It's like killing three birds with one stone, no, four birds with one stone, and we even got a system reward!

The two great martial arts of the Dali Duan family are One Finger Divine Skill and Six Meridian Divine Sword.

The One-Finger Divine Skill is divided into nine grades, with the first grade being the highest. Only by cultivating to the fourth grade can one reach the foundation for learning the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

Don't underestimate this finger technique just because it's the foundation of the Six Meridians Divine Sword, or think it's easy to learn.

Of all those who have practiced this martial art, only Master Yideng has reached the first rank.

However, he achieved this by referencing the Quanzhen School's Innate Skill and combining the two.

During the Condor Heroes era, he even held his own against the Golden Wheel Monk, who had reached the tenth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, using the One-Finger Divine Skill, and it is very likely that he had further improved upon the first level.

Many readers in later generations believed that the One-Finger Divine Skill at the first-grade level was no weaker than the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

There is a theory that Duan Siping, the creator of the Six Meridians Divine Sword, couldn't cultivate the One Yang Finger to the first rank, so he created the Six Meridians Divine Sword by taking a different approach.

If we were to draw an analogy between their attack methods, One Finger Divine Skill is like a Barrett rifle, while Six Meridian Divine Sword is like a Gatling gun.

One shot landed instantly, the other sprayed bullets wildly.

Of course, whether this claim is true or false, it cannot obscure the extraordinary nature of the One-Finger Divine Skill.

With this finger technique as a reward, another skill of the Nine Skills of Mount Hua can be added.

Chapter 12 Strong Contenders for the Sect Leader's First Disciple

Only after Yue Zhuoqun's figure disappeared did Feng Buping and the other two gradually calm down, and their thoughts also snapped out of the mental state of being attacked by Yue Zhuoqun.

As soon as the mind cleared, a feeling of unease immediately welled up in my heart.

"Senior brother, we've been misled by him!"

Cong Buqi's face suddenly darkened, and he said indignantly:

"Back then, the Qi Sect used underhanded tactics to defeat our Sword Sect. The three of us had no face to stay in the sect and had no choice but to leave Mount Hua."

How come in his mouth it's all our fault?

"He even said he'd return to Mount Hua if he wanted to make amends, but he's clearly just trying to trick us into serving him!"

Feng Buping and Cheng Buyou's lips twitched as well; that was indeed the case.

If I can't even stay on Mount Hua anymore, how can I repay the sect?

But since I've already promised Yue Buqun, I can't just chase him back and argue with him again!

What's the difference between that and a child arguing?

"Forget it, Huashan is our home after all, we have to go back eventually."

Moreover, resolving the conflict between the Sword and Qi factions and allowing the Huashan Sect to flourish again is of great significance, so there's no need to dwell on it too much.

Feng Buping thought for a moment and finally shook his head.

The moment Yue Zhuoqun persuaded him, he found that his desire to return to Mount Hua outweighed his dissatisfaction with Yue Zhuoqun.

Even though she realized she had been misled by Yue Zhuoqun's words, she couldn't bring herself to hate him; in fact, she felt a little grateful.

After all, misleading them is also a way for them to make a comeback.

"Ugh!"

Cheng Buyou and Cong Buqi sighed helplessly upon hearing this, exchanged a bitter smile, and then looked at each other.

"We're completely under the sect leader's control."

……

When Yue Zhuoqun returned to the Yellow River Gang's stronghold, the battle had already ended, and thirteen Huashan disciples and Yang Lin were waiting for him in the main hall.

The core members of the Yellow River Gang who participated in plundering merchant ships and causing havoc in the Yellow River area were all killed by the disciples of Mount Hua.

Those low-level gang members who cooked, did laundry, and didn't know martial arts were also arrested by the government officials who came to investigate, and were tried one by one.

"Head!"

"Hero Yue!"

Upon seeing Yue Zhuoqun return, Yang Lin and the others clasped their hands in greeting.

Yue Zhuoqun glanced at them and nodded in satisfaction.

The Huashan disciples were alright, after all, they all possessed martial arts skills, and their strength was at least at the third-rate level. They were more than capable of dealing with the Yellow River Gang members, and were basically all unharmed.

Only one disciple was unlucky; he was ambushed by a wounded member of the Yellow River Gang who was lying on the ground. He was stabbed in the calf and his face was burning.

Surprisingly, Yang Lin was the most seriously injured. He was stabbed in the arm, calf, and back. Although the wounds were not deep, his clothes were stained with blood.

But the kid seemed oblivious to pain, his eyes filled with excitement.

"Sect Leader, we originally intended to protect Brother Yang in the middle, but we didn't expect him to be even more excited than us during the battle. He brandished his broadsword and charged ahead of everyone, which is why he got injured."

A disciple with second-rate skills explained to Yue Zhuoqun.

They all had a good impression of this young master who came from a wealthy family but was passionate about martial arts.

Their temperament and personality were exactly what these martial arts practitioners wanted.

Yue Zhuoqun patted Yang Lin on the shoulder with a smile: "Not bad!"

Your bravery is commendable, but your respect for life is something you need to learn. However, these qualities can be taught gradually once you enter the martial arts academy.

Yang Lin, overwhelmed with excitement at receiving the praise, blushed deeply.

He was no fool; he could tell that Yue Zhuoqun was deliberately testing him.

Does receiving praise at this moment mean that Master Yue is going to take me as his disciple?

He couldn't help but look at Yue Zhuoqun expectantly.

After patting him on the shoulder, Yue Zhuoqun stopped talking and strode towards the corpses of the three dragons and four serpents.

When Yue Zhuoqun went to pursue Huang He's leader, three of the other six were killed and three were injured; now they are all dead.

The body was in a terrible state, covered in wounds, as if it had been hacked to pieces countless times.

Beside them were the seven women who had been tortured and ravaged.

His clothes and hands were covered in blood, and he slumped on the ground, his face ashen.

Their hated enemies are dead, three of whom they killed themselves in revenge.

But once the revenge was taken, their hearts were empty.

Not only were their families destroyed, but they were also insulted and ravaged by the three dragons and four serpents. How could they possibly survive?

"I have killed the Yellow River Boss, and all your enemies have been brought to justice. The great revenge has been achieved!" Yue Zhuoqun said with a sigh.

"Waaaaah~"

I don't know how long I've suppressed my emotions, but I finally burst into tears.

After a long while, they forced themselves to stop their grief and kowtowed heavily to Yue Buqun: "Thank you so much, Hero Yue, for your great kindness...we..."

They really didn't know how to repay them, or how they could possibly repay them.

"There's no need for such a grand gesture towards me."

Yue Zhuoqun quickly waved his hand, signaling everyone to help them up.

The purpose of this trip was to wipe out the Yellow River Gang, and it was just a coincidence that I helped them get revenge.

However, Yue Zhuoqun was somewhat troubled about how to settle them.

If left unchecked, given their current state of mind, they might just choose to die.

This isn't about being a saint or anything like that.

It would be difficult for any person to remain indifferent in this situation.

Moreover, in the Huashan Transmission Record he compiled to train Huashan disciples, there are teachings on how to distinguish right from wrong and know what to do and what not to do.

If the sect leader doesn't take the lead, how can the disciples expect to?
