The Villain's Counterattack

"I haven't left the mountain for a long time, practicing in seclusion, but I didn't expect that the outside world has already forgotten my reputation." The person sitting on the bed had a sharp voice and a rough throat, like a man and a woman, which made people's hair stand on end when they heard it.

Although I couldn't see her face clearly, her pink dress was particularly eye-catching, and the faint scent of incense made people feel a little weird. Could it be that she had come to her daughter's boudoir?

"Are you really the Demon Sect's Dongfang Bubai?" Taoist Tianmen of Mount Tai couldn't help but stand up. If we talk about his hatred for the Demon Sect, it is indeed not small at all.

"From the way you walk, I can tell your martial arts skills. You must be the young Taoist priest of Tianmen from the Taishan Sect. Your kung fu is pretty good, but not even five times as good as your master. The Taishan Sect has fallen into decline." The man sitting on the bed seemed to be sighing, but he didn't take the people present seriously at all.

"Everyone says that the famous and upright sects are upright and honest, but the people in my Holy Church are cunning and treacherous. But I say that you so-called famous sects are full of hypocrites and villains. Liu Zhengfeng, let Qu Yang come out. Since I am here today, your conspiracy will definitely not succeed." The words of the man sitting on the bed were a little confusing.

Fei Bin said that Liu Zhengfeng was colluding with the Demon Cult to plot intrigues, but the person who was suspected to be the leader of the Demon Cult also said that Liu Zhengfeng was plotting intrigues, which made people confused for a moment.

"Who are you? Why are you pretending to be the Eastern Sect Leader? The Eastern Sect Leader of the Demon Sect is the best master in the martial arts world, and he is not someone who can be offended by just anyone. My friend, please leave now. Liu Zhengfeng is doomed to die today, why do you have to interfere?" Liu Zhengfeng could not help but shook his head.

The man sitting on the bed seemed completely unconcerned, chuckling softly, "I have no interest in caring about your life or death. However, you are plotting against the elders of my Holy Sect. If I, the Sect Leader, turn a blind eye and others follow suit, how many useful people will be left on my Blackwood Cliff?"

Liu Zhengfeng couldn't help but wonder, "You keep saying I was plotting against Brother Qu, but you don't know how I did it? Brother Qu and I hit it off right away and became close friends. We only discussed music, mostly playing the qin and the flute, but never discussed martial arts."

"You so-called reputable and upright people are the most cunning. You and Qu Yang are both of similar martial arts skills and have equal status, so retiring together would seem to have little impact on either side. However, while Qu Yang holds a position in my Holy Church, he has no close associates. He lived in seclusion with you, and who knows, he might have been seduced by you to come to Hengyang City."

"You won't seek information openly, but as we spend every day together, your conversations will inevitably reveal some information about the Holy Church. Over time, I believe that within ten years, you will be familiar with every plant and tree on Black Curtain Cliff. By then, you can pass this information on to other sects through Hengshan Sect, and the reputation of Hengshan Sect will surely rise greatly."

"That idiot Qu Yang has nothing left after leaving Black Cliff. Although you're a hermit, you're surrounded by disciples. You say you no longer fight, but how can you refuse to teach them when they ask for your advice? Since you've taught them martial arts, how could Qu Yang, seeing your love for them, not show any appreciation? You've just gotten a top-notch instructor for free. And a top-notch instructor who's well-versed in our Holy Sect's martial arts and techniques."

"With this free instruction, the Hengshan Sect's strength will undoubtedly increase significantly. It will also have a significant advantage against our Saint Sect disciples in the future. Liu Zhengfeng, oh Liu Zhengfeng, you, the nameless yet powerful leader of the Hengshan Sect, are truly too shrewd." The man sitting on the bed sighed softly, "It's a shame, though your idea was good, it was seen through by those two."

"I wonder who can see through such a secret matter?" Yue Buqun was also stunned by this man's guess.

"You must be Yue Buqun of Huashan, right? You have practiced internal energy well, but unfortunately your footwork seems a little clumsy, and there are still some difficulties in your moves. The battle of Huashan sword energy is really ridiculous." The man sitting on the bed revealed a huge secret in one sentence, which made the people in the martial arts world around him prick up their ears.

Yue Buqun's face darkened slightly, and he sneered, "This is our internal affairs of Huashan, there is no need for you to say more."

"You've been hiding your illness and refusing medical attention. You deserve the decline of Huashan." The man sitting on the bed said calmly, unconcerned. "Although Liu Zhengfeng has some tricks up his sleeve, he can't hide them from discerning eyes. The first person to see through this wasn't me, but Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan Sect. It was only because he sent so many people in such a high-profile manner that I became alert and discovered Liu Zhengfeng's conspiracy."

"Impossible!" Fei Bin shouted, "If Liu Zhengfeng really had this intention, the headmaster would only support him and would definitely not make things difficult for him. It must be you who spread rumors and caused trouble."

"You are not worthy of my lying. In this world today, there are not many people I admire. The shrewd Master Fang Zheng is one, the smooth Taoist Chongxu is one, the reclusive Feng Qingyang is one, but the ambitious Zuo Lengchan can only be considered half, and the other half is the former leader of my Holy Church." The man sitting on the bed talked eloquently, which was refreshing, but the name Feng Qingyang made many people feel unfamiliar.

"Zuo Lengchan is extremely ambitious and wants to unite the Five Mountains Sects to expand his own power. Naturally, he won't tolerate the growth of other sects. Liu Zhengfeng's plan is quite sinister, a self-torture scheme. He wants to first remove himself, and then secretly help the Hengshan Sect. If his plan succeeds, the Hengshan Sect will surely prosper in the next ten years. This is not what Zuo Lengchan wants to see, so he is desperate to destroy Liu Zhengfeng's plan."

"Although Qu Yang is conservative and values ​​his word, he is no fool. If Liu Zhengfeng shows even the slightest sign of abnormality, he will see through it. That's why Liu Zhengfeng has been hesitant and trying to find a way out. Even if all his disciples are killed or injured, even if his family members die for him, as long as he can gain Qu Yang's trust, the Hengshan Sect will be the biggest winner. Unfortunately, Zuo Lengchan will not allow the Hengshan Sect to prosper, and I also don't want the secrets of the Holy Religion to be leaked. So..."

"Qu Yang, come with me." The man sitting on the bed raised his hand, and a silver light flew out and headed straight for the roof in the distance, and a figure flew down.

"Who are you? Why are you pretending to be the Eastern Patriarch of our Holy Religion?" The person who came was Qu Yang, but his face looked rather ugly.

"Elder Qu Yang, we haven't seen each other for ten years, but you don't even recognize me? It's true. Ever since I got the "Sunflower Manual", I have practiced day and night, and finally realized the realm of heaven and man. Today I am no longer myself, but you, as an elder of the Holy Church, left without permission, so I had to come. Do you want to go back to Black Wood Cliff with me, or do you want me to capture you and take you back?" The man sitting on the bed spoke in a calm tone but with a loud voice.

Qu Yang bowed and said, "Since you claim to be the leader of our sect, then let me learn from your skills."

After saying that, he rushed straight to the bed. The curtain opened gently, and a pink figure appeared quietly. Wearing a conical hat, he walked to Qu Yang's side. Without seeing him make any movement, Qu Yang lost his balance and fell to the ground, unable to move.

"I have taken away the people from our sect. Liu Zhengfeng has ulterior motives. Since Zuo Lengchan reminded me, I will give him to you." The pink figure came and went like the wind, making it difficult to see clearly, but the speed was absolutely astonishing. Everyone was shocked. Qu Yang was definitely a senior first-class master in martial arts, but he was captured alive in just one encounter. This person's martial arts skills were beyond the reach of two people.

"The Sunflower Manual." Yue Buqun spoke each word with his eyes full of horror.

"What? The "Sunflower Manual"? Is this person really Dongfang Bubai?" Fei Bin and others were shocked. This person seemed to be too powerful.

"Leave Brother Qu behind." Liu Zhengfeng saw Qu Yang being captured in one move and rushed forward, shouting, "This man possesses the Sunflower Manual. Even if he's not Dongfang Bubai, he must be a high-ranking member of the Demon Sect. Fellow Daoists, please help me."

"It is our duty to eliminate demons and defend the way of righteousness." Taoist Priest Tianmen of Mount Tai was the first to respond, and Master Dingyi was the second to stand up, but everyone from the Songshan Sect retreated together.
