The Villain's Counterattack

"If someone from Songshan asks you if you know the demon sect's Qu Yang, how will you answer?" Lin Pingzhi spoke directly, trying to find out the details.

"Brother Qu Yang is the only confidant and the best friend in my life. Brother Qu and I hit it off right away and became close friends. Whenever we meet, we always play the zither and the flute together, and we never talk about martial arts. However, in today's world, Liu Zhengfeng believes that no one can match Brother Qu in playing the zither and music, and when it comes to playing the flute, I don't think of anyone else." Liu Zhengfeng looked very happy when he mentioned Qu Yang.

"In other words, you admit that you have colluded with the elders of the Demon Cult?" Lin Pingzhi's words were very direct, and Liu Zhengfeng was stunned.

Lin Pingzhi pointed at Liu Zhengfeng, feeling rather disappointed: "Even three-year-olds can lie, but you can't. Will you die if you say something as famous as "I wish we had met"?"

"I..." Liu Zhengfeng was stunned, "But I will not deny the relationship between me and Brother Qu."

"Your entire family deserves to be wiped out, and Qu Yang must be buried with you." Liu Zhengfeng may not care about other things, but he cannot care about Qu Yang's safety.

"Boy, what do you mean by that?"

"Liu Zhengfeng, you do have some ulterior motives, but you've strayed from the path of right and wrong. No one cares whether you live or die, but your pedantry is truly eye-opening. You're unwilling to deny your acquaintance with Qu Yang and value your relationship with him. Isn't Qu Yang the same? Your entire family has been wiped out, and he's about to be killed by the Songshan Sect. How could he sit idly by and watch?"

"Although you two are good at martial arts, if he rescues you in front of the three great protectors of Songshan and so many masters from Mount Tai, Mount Hua, and Mount Heng, what are the chances of him surviving?" Lin Pingzhi asked in return. Liu Zhengfeng remained silent. He knew clearly that if he was really in a desperate situation, Qu Yang would definitely stand up for him.

Do we have any chance of winning against so many masters with just the two of us?

Just as this kid said, the final result is nothing but harming others and himself, and causing Brother Qu Yang to be buried with him.

"What do you think?" This kid said so much, he must have his own ideas.

"I'll give you two options. One is to openly and loudly organize the event, but secretly send everyone around you away in disguise. Then, before you retire, take Qu Yang and hide in the mountains and forests. After a year or two, you can disguise yourself and quietly go out to sea or to the desert or grassland. As long as it's not the Central Plains, there's room for you two."

"What about the second one?" Liu Zhengfeng didn't want to invite so many friends who had given him face to come here for nothing.

"Contact Qu Yang and gather all the people you can. Strike first and defeat all the people from Songshan Sect before you retire. Once you've retired, get out of here. The Songshan Sect is no pushover. If they can't support you openly, they'll come back secretly afterward. They won't care whether you've retired or not."

"Brother Qu is my confidant, and the Five Mountains Sword Sect is also my friend. I will not harm Brother Qu for the Five Mountains Sword Sect, nor will I harm the friends of the Five Mountains Sword Sect for Brother Qu." Liu Zhengfeng directly rejected this opinion.

"You're so arrogant!" Lin Pingzhi angrily raised his thumbs. "To survive, for my family's survival, I can lie to everyone in the world. But you'd rather your entire family die because you don't want to lie. Liu Zhengfeng, I'm convinced of you!"

"Get lost!" Lin Pingzhi raged. "With a pedantic person like you who's been fooled by books, this young master really has nothing in common. I will watch helplessly as your entire family is wiped out. But when that time comes, please forgive me for being powerless and unable to do anything."

"Boy, I appreciate your kindness, but a real man has his ways and his limits. I have used so many people to withdraw from the vortex of the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Demon Cult for my own selfish reasons. I really don't want to rely on lies to get through this difficult time anymore. Boy, a man cannot stand without integrity. If you tell too many lies, you will lose yourself in the world of lies and end up hurting others and yourself." After saying this, Liu Zhengfeng turned and left.

Lin Pingzhi pointed at Liu Zhengfeng's back and couldn't say a word. He had an MMP in his mind that he couldn't help but say.

"Come out, I didn't invite you here to watch a show. Liu Zhengfeng is extremely pedantic. What about you, the elder of the Demon Cult, Qu Yang? How far can you go for your best friend? Will you sit back and watch the entire Liu family die out, and your granddaughter die at the hands of the so-called famous and upright people?" Lin Pingzhi glanced at the side door.

"You will die at the hands of a famous and upright family. Your whole family will die at the hands of a famous and upright family." A thirteen-year-old girl in green fir came out skipping and jumping, glaring at Lin Pingzhi with her hands on her hips.

Lin Pingzhi took a closer look. The girl had delicate features and was quite lovely, with her eyes dancing around. It was clear she was a clever little creature, but she was still young and her martial arts skills were not very advanced. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "What a pity."

"But I have made a solemn oath for Brother Liu that I will never harm those who follow the chivalrous path, and I will not break the oath even if the situation is dangerous." Although Qu Yang is old, his martial arts skills are not weak at all. He still has the strength of a first-class master, and is even not worse than any of the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan.

"Forget it. I'm drunk trying to save two people who are determined to die. You should get out too. Take this little girl with you and get out as soon as possible. Oh, and throw this little girl as far as you can. If you were still here, it wouldn't matter if she's a bit sharp-tongued. But once you die, no one will protect her. If she continues to be so sharp-tongued, it will only lead to her death. Intelligence must be used in the right place. Small cleverness won't lead to great things."

Is Qu Feiyan smart?

This little girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but she was able to make Yu Canghai run around in circles, taking advantage of her young age and weakness. She was obviously a little smart, but she didn't know how to endure, and was eventually killed by Fei Bin with a sword. It was really a pity.

How difficult is it to save someone who is only seeking death and is determined to commit suicide?

"Hehe, do you think other families are begging you to save them? Are you that powerful? In the end, your home is still broken into and you become a wandering ghost." Qu Feiyan seemed to see that Lin Pingzhi would not do anything to her, so she made a face and became even more rude.

Lin Pingzhi shook his head slightly, and his figure flashed in front of her. He lightly touched her forehead and returned to his seat. The speed was so fast that Qu Yang couldn't react, let alone Qu Feiyan. It was not until he felt a pain on his forehead that he realized he had been hit.

"The weak should have the awareness of being weak. To ordinary people, your martial arts skills are indeed quite good, but facing a true master, even a second-rate master, it would be easy to kill you. Your grandfather can't protect you forever. Moreover, he and Liu Zhengfeng don't have many days to live. If you don't want to be buried with your grandfather, you should find a way to escape as soon as possible."

As if he had thought of something, Lin Pingzhi shook his head slightly and said, "You are a stubborn girl. Few people who come from the Demon Sect are normal. Well, go and die."

The last few words were originally meant to be curses, but Qu Yang looked at his granddaughter with pity, and his face did not waver in the slightest.

"Although Feiyan is my granddaughter, no one outside knows her. You may look cunning, but you are not a wicked person. Originally, entrusting Feiyan to you was a good choice, but this girl is stubborn by nature and will not give up until the last moment."

"Don't tell me so much. Since you all don't want to live anymore, I don't need to waste my breath. Just wait for the retirement ceremony and deal with Yu Canghai. The rest is up to you."

"Brother Liu will not allow you to cause trouble at his retirement ceremony."

"Let's wait until he passes the Songshan Pass. There's no need to worry about a dying man."
