Xiaoyouzhutian, send Yi Xiaochuan to the palace to start

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Liu Hao shook his head.

Even if he went into the room, Ning Zhongze would never agree.

Let's wait until Yue Buqun strikes the target, lest Dongfang Bai accuse him of being too hungry to choose his food...

the next day.

Master Dingyi of Yue Buqun and Ningzhong Ze led their disciples to leave the inn early.

Liu Hao and Dongfang Bai and his group did not follow them. It would be too early to listen to their meaningless nonsense. It would not be too late for them to show up after the people from Songshan School showed up.

The Liu Mansion was very lively today. Liu Zhengfeng and his disciples were at the door to welcome guests.

Yue Buqun brought Ning Zhongze and his disciples to Liu's mansion. After Liu Zhengfeng exchanged a few words with them, he asked his disciples to take them inside to rest for a while.

The Liu Mansion is quite large. As the junior brother of the Hengshan Sect's leader, Mo Da, Liu Zhengfeng's status in the Hengshan Sect is definitely not low, and the place where he lives in Hengyang certainly can't be small.

The Liu Mansion compound alone occupies an area of ​​about two acres, and this retirement ceremony was held in the compound.

At this time, the courtyard was filled with rows of seats, and many people were already sitting on them.

"Hey, Madam Yue, long time no see. How have you been these days?"

"Hey, Master Dingyi, you are here?"

Yue Buqun and his companions as well as Master Dingyi were all well-known figures. When the martial artists who had arrived earlier than them saw the three of them coming, they began to greet them.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Liu Zhengfeng asked a disciple to greet them at the door, and he walked into the courtyard alone.

"Everyone, thank you for coming to my retirement ceremony. I will remember the kindness of all my fellow martial artists today."

"Brother Liu, you are too polite. Brother Liu wants to retire from the martial arts world and not be involved in worldly affairs. This is a great loss to our martial arts community."

"I heard that Brother Liu wanted to retire because he wanted to be a general in the imperial court? The imperial court and I, the people of the martial arts world, have always kept our distance from each other. Why would Senior Brother Liu want to wade into this muddy water?"

"Alas, what a pity! Hengshan Sect has lost a master from now on, and the court has gained a great general."

"Everyone has their own aspirations. We should support Brother Liu's choice."

Liu Zhengfeng only said one sentence, and the martial artists present began to speak out, some in favor and some in disagreement.

"Everyone, please listen to what I have to say. I don't want to be involved in the affairs of the martial arts world anymore. I am also tired of the days of fighting and killing, so I want to find an idle position in the court and spend the rest of my life there."

"Liu has no great ambitions. He just likes playing some musical instruments. A life of fighting and killing is not what Liu wants."

"I have thought about this matter for a long time and reported it to the head brother. With his nod, I made this decision."

"If you need my help in the future, please feel free to tell me. Although I am no longer a member of the underworld, I will never forget our friendship over the years."

What Liu Zhengfeng said made the martial artists present nod their heads. Everyone has their own aspirations, so they didn't know what to say.

Besides, those who can come here are all friends with him, and we can’t embarrass him in front of so many people.

"The only one missing is the brothers from Songshan Sect. Please wait for a moment. The Retirement Ceremony will begin soon."

At this time, Liu Hao and Dongfang Bai, along with Liu Xuan and other Xiaoyao Guards, were walking slowly towards Liu Zhengfeng's mansion on the street.

"Huh? Why is he here?"

Dongfang Bai looked forward at this time. A few dozen meters away, there was a middle-aged man with graying hair.

Behind the man followed a petite girl who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old. She had an innocent smile on her face and was very lively.

"Him? Is he Qu Yang, the elder of your Sun Moon Sect?"

Liu Hao followed Dongfang Bai's gaze and smiled indifferently at the man. He was one of the protagonists of this conference, so how could he not come?

Dongfang Bai nodded: "Yes, the one next to him is his granddaughter, Qu Feiyan, nicknamed Feifei. I have met her a few times. This little girl is quite lively."

"But why are they here? Are they also going to Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony?"

The more Dongfang Bai thought about it, the gloomier his expression became. Perhaps he had already labeled Qu Yang as a heretic.

"Why think so much? Just go and take a look and you'll know." After Liu Hao said that, he took her little hand and walked towards the Liu Mansion.

The scene changes.

Liu Zhengfeng and others have been waiting for the Songshan Sect for a long time, but the people from the Songshan Sect still haven't come. Liu Zhengfeng's temper is getting impatient.

He stood up and walked to the center of the compound, looked at the hundreds of martial artists in the compound and spoke.

"Everyone, it's getting late. Liu's retirement ceremony is officially about to begin!"

Just as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside the mansion gate: "The disciples of Songshan Sect have arrived!"

As soon as the voice fell, Taibao Da Songyang Shou Fei Bin, wearing the light red clothing of Songshan School, holding a colorful flag, followed by several disciples, swaggered into the courtyard.

"Left Alliance Leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect has issued an order that Senior Brother Liu postpone the retirement ceremony for now."

"Why is this? Liu wants to retire because he is tired of the fighting in the underworld. Why is Alliance Leader Zuo trying to stop him?" Liu Zhengfeng's heart tightened when he saw the person coming. What he worried about was coming true.

He was afraid of being interrupted at this conference. Once interrupted, nothing would go smoothly.

"Brother Fei, I hope you can tell Alliance Leader Zuo that Liu's decision to retire is purely out of personal will. Now that Liu has gathered so many fellow martial artists today, it is impossible for him to give up easily."

"Brother Liu, Alliance Leader Zuo has repeatedly asked me to do as I ask." Fei Bin narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, with a strong threatening tone in his voice.

"So what if Liu doesn't accept? Isn't Alliance Leader Zuo meddling too much? Does he want Liu to lose his credibility in front of his fellow martial artists?"

After Liu Zhengfeng finished speaking, he stretched out his hands towards the golden basin on the table in front of him.

Upon seeing this, Fei Bin drew out the sword carried by his disciple and threw it directly towards the basin. The basin was immediately knocked to the ground by the impact of the sword.

Liu Zhengfeng was furious. He looked at Fei Bin and shouted, "Fei Bin! What do you want to do?"

At the same time, Liu Zhengfeng's family and a group of servants were held hostage by a group of disciples of the Songshan School and walked into the compound at sword point.

When this incident happened, all the martial artists were in an uproar.

"What are you doing!"

"Release Madam Liu immediately!"

"Songshan Sect, aren't you going too far?"

Fei Bin looked at the people's scolding and sneered, his eyes full of disdain. He stretched out a hand to signal everyone to calm down.

"My fellow martial artists, we in Songshan Sect have just received news that Liu Zhengfeng is secretly colluding with the Demon Sect elder Qu Yang. This is why Alliance Leader Zuo wants to stop him."

"Liu Zhengfeng, do you admit this or not?" Fei Bin looked at Liu Zhengfeng jokingly after he said this.

"Yes, a real man should take responsibility for his actions. I do know Brother Qu Yang, and he is my best friend in life. However, we have never colluded with each other. We just made friends through music!"

Liu Zhengfeng was a very honest man and admitted it directly.

As expected, his admission caused an uproar among all the martial artists again, and they all looked at him with shocked eyes.

"Brother Liu, Alliance Leader Zuo hopes that you will turn back and kill Qu Yang, so that..."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, I will never do such a despicable thing!"

Before Fei Bin could finish his words, Liu Zhengfeng directly rejected him.

"Humph! You are so stubborn! Alliance Leader Zuo has issued an order that if Liu Zhengfeng admits his mistakes and refuses to mend his ways, the Five Mountains Sword Sect will be purged immediately, leaving no one alive!"

"Qu Yang is here! It's me you want to arrest, why make things difficult for my brother Liu!"

A loud shout was heard, and Qu Yang jumped down from the roof, came to the courtyard and looked down upon the crowd.

Qu Feiyan, who was still on the roof, saw Qu Yang going down, and her little face was filled with worry.

I am so grateful for the support from my family. I can’t express it in words. Thank you so much!
