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

After recognizing each other, Dongfang Bubai was displeased to see that Yilin was eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures every day, and was brainwashed by Buddhist scriptures like a block of wood.

They forcibly took her out of Hengshan and forced her to return to secular life.

Even after returning to secular life, Yilin remained sullen and absent-minded.

Under Dongfang Bubai's persistent questioning, he finally learned that this young girl actually harbored feelings for Yue Zhuoqun.

That's why he angrily forced Yilin to come to Mount Hua to demand an explanation from Yue Zhuoqun.

There were too many disciples of Mount Hua, and those who came from the front of the mountain were too talkative and noisy. In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, they used their lightness skills to fly up to the Cliff of Contemplation.

But as soon as they arrived, Feng Qingyang blocked their path, and a battle broke out.

Chapter 88 A new generation

Ever since Dongfang Bubai learned that Yilin admired Yue Zhuoqun, he had been inexplicably filled with anger.

Not only was he stopped by Feng Qingyang when he reached the top of the cliff, but Feng Qingyang also spoke to him in an interrogative tone, which made him even more agitated, so his response was also very harsh.

Both were top-tier experts with similar strength. Their powerful internal energies surged continuously, yet it was difficult to determine a winner.

After fighting fiercely for over a hundred rounds, they really got into a heated argument.

Only then did Yue Zhuoqun finally arrive, belatedly displaying his lightness skill.

Upon seeing the furious Dongfang Bubai and Yilin dressed as a common woman, his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

The feeling of a creditor coming to my door welled up inside me, and I instinctively wanted to turn around and hide.

However, Yilin, who was watching the battle, was facing this direction and saw him at a glance.

Her anxious gaze shone brightly, but when she thought of her sister's purpose in bringing her here, her cheeks suddenly flushed red, and she shyly buried her head in her chest.

Seeing that Yue Zhuoqun was about to turn and leave, she could no longer care about being shy and called out, "Uncle Yue!"

Yue Zhuoqun froze, and could only turn around awkwardly, forcing a smile: "Junior Nephew Yilin, it's been a long time."

"Mmm!" Yilin nodded happily, then, remembering something, quickly said:

"My sister has been fighting that senior for a long time, Uncle-Master, please try to persuade them!"

Yue Zhuoqun reluctantly stepped forward and said, "Uncle-Master Feng, the Eastern Cult Leader is my friend, please stop!"

Feng Qingyang raised his hand and exchanged a palm strike with Dongfang Bubai before retreating.

He scrutinized Dongfang Bubai for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Leader Dongfang? You are Dongfang Bubai of the Sun Moon Cult!"

"Not bad!"

Dongfang Bubai stood proudly on the edge of the cliff, her long red dress swaying in the wind, like a red peony that outshone the world.

"Hahaha, I never expected that the famous Dongfang Bubai is actually a woman, and that she has even become friends with the leader of our Huashan Sect."

Feng Qingyang laughed loudly, then looked strangely at Yue Zhuoqun and the other two: "Young Yue, you always pretend to be a gentleman in front of others, yet you still manage to get into romantic entanglements. What a strange thing."

Although he had lived in seclusion atop Mount Hua for many years, he was a wise and experienced man, and he saw through the problem at a glance from the strange atmosphere between the three of them.

Yue Zhuoqun smiled awkwardly: "Uncle-Master, please don't talk nonsense."

"Heh!" Feng Qingyang curled his lip, his eyes full of mockery.

He didn't have a good impression of Yue Zhuoqun before, but after getting to know him better over the years, he realized that Yue Zhuoqun wasn't as inflexible and rigid as he had imagined, and his opinion of him gradually changed.

However, despite the change in attitude, I still don't quite like Yue Zhuoqun's always serious approach to things.

Seeing Yue Zhuoqun entangled in romantic entanglements at this moment, I felt inexplicably pleased.

However, he wasn't the kind of person who would be disrespectful to elders and enjoy gossiping about the younger generation. He waved his hand and said, "You can handle your own romantic affairs. This old man is going to find some peace and quiet."

After saying that, he vanished in a flash, leaving Yue Zhuoqun and the other two in a silent atmosphere.

Yilin's face flushed, and she looked down at her toes, not daring to speak. Dongfang Bubai, on the other hand, glared at Yue Zhuoqun with annoyance in his eyes.

“Ahem, Miss Dongfang, you can just climb Mount Hua from the main gate. Why did you climb the cliff from the back?” In the end, Yue Zhuoqun spoke first.

"Hmph, don't try to change the subject. I came to Mount Hua today to demand an explanation for my sister."

Yue Zhuoqun felt a headache coming on: "Where do I even begin to ask for an explanation..."

"You dare say you have no idea about Yilin's feelings for you?"

"She's still young, and she's my junior apprentice..."

"She has already left the Hengshan Sect and returned to secular life. She's no longer your junior disciple. What do you have to worry about?"

Yue Zhuoqun sighed. He was not someone who cared about status at all; he had just been focused on developing the Huashan Sect and had never considered accepting others.

Yilin's eyes were red, and she said in a disappointed tone, "Sister, you...you mustn't force Master Yue..."

"Little girl, what are you afraid of! Also, you're not allowed to call him 'Master Uncle' anymore."

Dongfang Bubai interrupted Yilin directly, coldly saying to Yue Zhuoqun, "You must explain this matter to me clearly. If you can't explain it clearly, Yilin and I will stay on Mount Hua forever."

Yue Zhuoqun remained silent for a moment, then solemnly said, "In that case, you two can stay in the cave on the Cliff of Repentance for now. We will definitely give you an answer after some time."

He is not a naive person, but he is certainly not a promiscuous one either.

Besides, having lived happily with Ning Zhongze for over ten years since coming into this world, even if he were to accept someone else, he would have to give Ning Zhongze a heads-up first.

This wasn't out of fear of Ning Zhongze, but rather out of respect for her.

Unsurprisingly, after telling Ning Zhongze about this, Ning Zhongze was quite upset with him, but fortunately she didn't say much.

Of course, the price he paid was that he couldn't get out of bed for three days.

……

Time flies, and another eight years have passed.

Since defeating Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Wushi, the main quest progress has increased to 90%, and it hasn't increased since then in the past eight years.

Some time ago, there were over a hundred Huashan disciples whose strength had reached the first-class level, but the system only rewarded them with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.

In the martial arts world, a new generation replaces the old, and the younger generation takes over.

The most prominent figures recently are Ye Gucheng, the Lord of Baiyun City; Ximen Chuixue of Wanmei Manor; Yan Shisan, the Thirteen Deadly Swordsman; Xie Xiaofeng of Shenjian Manor; and Yue Xuan, the Flawless Young Master.

These five were known in the martial arts world as the five strongest swordsmen of their time. Of course, this automatically excludes Yue Zhuoqun.

Below the five are the Eight Swords of Mount Hua.

Of these thirteen people, nine were from the Huashan Sect, and one was related to Huashan.

The phrase "Swords emerge from Mount Hua" is frequently on the lips of people in the martial arts world, and the Mount Hua Sect has become a sacred place in the martial arts community.

On this day, Mount Hua was bustling with activity. Many martial arts students and young disciples gathered in front of the mountain gate, their eyes constantly gazing into the distance.

"Senior Brother Yue Xuan has been traveling for four years, and he's finally returning today." A female disciple covered her face with her hands, her cheeks as red as peach blossoms.

"When Senior Brother Yue Xuan didn't graduate from the Martial Arts Hall, he spoke to me. I wonder if he still remembers me."

"Tch, so what if he spoke to you? What's there to be proud of? Senior Brother Yue Xuan said before he left that he would bring me the most beautiful flowers in the world when he came back."

"He even said he'd give me a hairpin!"

A group of female disciples were vying for attention, their jealousy palpable.

Several hours passed, but Yue Xuan still did not appear.

And at this moment, on the Cliff of Repentance.

Yue Zhuoqun, Ning Zhongze, Dongfang Bubai, and Yilin were chatting together in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

Among the group was a six- or seven-year-old girl wearing a red padded jacket and with two small lanterns tied in her hair as headdresses. Her chubby little face was extremely cute.

"Father, Mother, and Aunts, I'm back."

Suddenly, a dashing young man appeared not far away, holding a skewer of candied hawthorns in his hand.

Two pretty girls followed behind him, one carrying a sword and the other carrying a bundle.

Upon hearing this, the little girl making lanterns immediately turned around, her bright eyes revealing surprise:

"Pot~"

With a few quick movements of his two legs, he suddenly appeared two or three meters away.

"Haha, little Dongdong, did you miss your big brother?"

Yue Xuan instinctively opened his arms, wanting to hug the little girl.

But a flash of red light and she found herself holding nothing; the candied hawthorn in her hand had been snatched away: "Hehe, my favorite candied hawthorn~"

Chapter 89 The Battle of Huashan

Yue Xuan stared at Yue Dongdong, who was standing not far in front of him, proudly shaking a candied hawthorn, and his eyes widened slightly.

Then, with a flick of his arm, he used his inner strength to pull her into his arms, reached out and pinched her soft, chubby face, and laughed:

"Wow, little Dongdong, you have such amazing light-foot skills at such a young age."

"Hmph~ Of course!" Yue Dongdong wrinkled her little nose, looking smug.

"Xuan'er has really grown up after traveling for a few years."
