The Villain's Counterattack

Looking at his two fellow disciples who died in a foreign land, Lu Bai felt like crying but had no tears. Tonight, they suddenly saw a fire on Mount Hua, and thought they had an opportunity, so they came together. However, before they even reached the battlefield, they heard a call coming from far away, heading straight for them.

Yue Buqun's roar could be heard from afar, as he mentioned the theft of the "Exorcism Sword Technique" and led the Huashan people in a desperate charge to retrieve it. Feng Buping and Cheng Buyu seemed to have completely integrated into Huashan, bravely leading the charge and even beheading two men in black right in front of him. Just as Lu Bai was about to jump out, six strange men suddenly appeared from the side, grabbed Ding Mian, and cut him into four pieces.

Tang Ying'e was also chopped down by the oncoming man in black. The martial arts he used were somewhat familiar to him. Lu Lianrong was kicked, the Taoist priest of Mount Tai was hit by a palm, and he himself was hit on the face and waist. This group of people had no rules at all and just started killing people. If the people from Mount Hua had not arrived quickly, they would have all been killed.

Huashan was attacked by surprise and the library was almost burned down. The other secret books of advanced martial arts were hidden more secretly. Only the Lin family's "Bixie Sword Technique" obtained from Lin Pingzhi was of great importance, but it was stolen.

The men in black were not having a good time either, leaving behind six corpses. Lu Bai looked at the six familiar faces, his teeth clenched and his face was ferocious. No wonder the figure, martial arts and tone of that person just now were so familiar. It turned out that it was really them. But why did these bastards suddenly retaliate?

Wait, the Lin family's "Evil-Defeating Sword Technique"?

"How did Senior Brother Yue get the Lin family's "Sword Technique to Exorcise Evils"? " Lu Bai's tone was a little stiff.

Yue Buqun's face showed a look of surprise as he whispered, "Brother Lu, are you confused? Back then, Lin Pingzhi first went to Shaolin, then to Songshan, then to Wudang, and finally to Huashan. He traded the Lin family's 'Bixie Sword Technique' for Huashan's basic internal energy and sword techniques. Brother Lu should know this. In Hengyang City, Brother Fei knows quite a bit about the 'Bixie Sword Technique'; apparently, this secret manual is also preserved in Songshan."

Yue Buqun said with deep emotion, "The Exorcism Sword Technique is mysterious and unpredictable, but as Junior Brother Fei said, it can be improved as one's strength increases. Even first-rate masters, or even top-tier masters, can use it. It's a rare and wonderful sword technique. However, the techniques are quite complicated, which is not suitable for my Huashan Qi Sect. It just so happens that Junior Brothers Feng and Cheng are new to Huashan, and they know more about our Huashan sword techniques than I, the Sect Leader. I had no choice but to take the Exorcism Sword Technique to show off. Who would have thought..."

"Who would have thought that these scoundrels would suddenly show up, steal the "Sword Technique to Exorcise Evils", and almost burn down my Huashan Library. These people are good at martial arts, and they move in an organized manner. Such a powerful group of people is rare in Shaanxi, and I don't know any of these people." Yue Buqun's face looked a little bad, and he seemed a little hesitant.

Feng Buping and Cheng Buyou suppressed their complaints. "Brother Yue, we came to you and you treated us with the 'Exorcism Sword Technique'? If we hadn't known what was going on, we might have been grateful." Their legs clamped together involuntarily, their legs chilled by the mere mention of the 'Exorcism Sword Technique'.

But the show still had to go on, so Feng Buping asked in time, "Brother Yue, have you thought of anything?"

"To be honest, there are only a few big and small people on my Huashan Mountain, but no outstanding disciples. During this period, Lin Pingzhi led twenty flying cavalry to help maintain order. These flying cavalry are not only of second- or third-rate strength, but also skilled in archery and horse riding, and they are always victorious in charging into battle. They are quite intimidating to us people in the martial arts world. Lin Pingzhi took his men away early this morning, and this group of thieves appeared after nightfall. I'm afraid they have been lurking for more than a day or two, and have been waiting for an opportunity." Yue Buqun looked a little embarrassed, but his eyes were cast on Lu Bai.

"As for Lin Pingzhi's departure, it has something to do with Junior Brother Lu."

Lu Bai was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he was involved, and asked hurriedly.

"Lin Pingzhi said that if you go to Huashan, the competition for the position of sect leader is secondary. Although Junior Brothers Feng and Cheng are good, they are definitely no match for my "Purple Cloud Divine Art". Lin Pingzhi suspected that Junior Brother Lu was here to find him. The Fuwei Escort Agency has a large foundation in Henan, and he is having trouble coordinating between the Golden Sword Sect, Shaolin, and Songshan. That's why he hid out in Huashan. However, he also knew that hiding forever was not appropriate. After meeting Junior Brother Lu, he began to arrange to go down the mountain, preparing to go to Shanxi first, then to Henan, to completely eliminate the Fuwei Escort Agency."

Lu Bai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said, "My Songshan Sect doesn't care about those little things." The implication was that you Huashan are poor, so don't treat us Songshan as poor too.

"Haha, Junior Brother Lu, you underestimated the financial and material resources of the Fuwei Escort Agency. Henan has been the core area of ​​the Central Plains since ancient times. Lin Pingzhi said that the annual profit alone is around 80,000 taels. If a big deal is caught, it may even reach 100,000. It is indeed twice as high as our poor Shaanxi. My second disciple works hard and is willing to work hard, but he only earns more than 30,000 taels of silver in a year, and what I get from Huashan is not even 10,000 taels." Yue Buqun's sour words made Lu Bai in a good mood.

One hundred thousand taels a year? Oh my god, is the Fuwei Escort Agency that profitable? No wonder the Golden Sword Sect is so reluctant to give up. The Shaolin Temple chants "Amitabha" over and over again, their eyes fixed on this piece of fat meat. So there's such a saying. Songshan may not be poor, but how can they give up a business that makes one hundred thousand taels a year?

"So that's how it is. No wonder Lin Pingzhi reacted that day and didn't even take the initiative to greet me. He must be feeling guilty. I didn't come here with this intention. He is too suspicious." Lu Bai shook his head slightly. He didn't have this intention originally, but now he has it. He must write a letter as soon as possible to inform the head brother about the changes here.

That bunch of ungrateful people actually rebelled just for the fake "Sword of Exorcism". Did they really think that they could escape from the control of Songshan just by having advanced martial arts?

However, it's true that the allure of top-tier martial arts is considerable. Lin Pingzhi was already a seasoned master, having single-handedly slain Yu Canghai with his sword. Though injured, his brisk descent from the mountain revealed he'd almost fully recovered. With twenty flying cavalry, ordinary masters wouldn't dare to challenge him. Consequently, he'd found the unfortunate Huashan Sect. Lu Bai secretly rejoiced at the thought, unaware that Yue Buqun was also secretly chuckling.

Not only will your Songshan Sect lose a hidden chess piece and two bodyguards today, but I'm afraid there won't be many left of the many elite disciples you brought with you. The black-clothed men who were just killed were all real. They were captured by Linghu Chong, Yue Lingshan, and Monk Bujie. They had their acupoints pressed and were used as shields to commit suicide.

Because the Six Immortals of Taogu suddenly jumped out to disrupt the situation, Lu Bai and others were thrown into disarray and did not notice anything strange. However, these six corpses were real. Yue Buqun glanced at Lu Bai's reaction and knew that they definitely knew each other.

The leader of the men in black is still imprisoned. With Uncle Feng watching him, there is no need to worry about him escaping. After getting some secrets of Songshan from him, we can release him as bait, which can be considered as making good use of waste.
