The Villain's Counterattack

He rode at full speed to Mount Hua, where Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze happily welcomed him. Old Yue was delighted to have Huang Zhonggong join them. He was a true master, a man of exceptional character and refinement, and he even had some connections with Shaolin Master Fang Zheng. Even Lin Pingzhi's claim that he was from a demonic sect couldn't stop Huashan from welcoming him.

Friends of Shaolin Master Fangzheng, do you dare to slander him as a member of the evil cult?

In any case, Yue Buqun would not dare to do so, and this old man and Feng Qingyang surprisingly got along well with each other. The two old guys are now living in seclusion, and they give advice to the younger generations from time to time, which makes the Huashan Sect more excited.

Lin Pingzhi's arrival alarmed Feng Qingyang, Huang Zhonggong, and the others, but Linghu Chong, Yue Lingshan, and Feng Buping were absent. They had received word from Zuo Lengchan that a large number of demonic cultists were gathering and appeared to be planning a surprise attack on the righteous sect. Yue Buqun, no longer the once-dominant Yueshan Sect leader, sent with a wave of his hand to Huashan Sect elder Feng Buping, leading five of his elite disciples and ten outer disciples (half of whom were registered disciples Feng Buping had taken on outside of the sect) to support them.

Lin Pingzhi, Feng Qingyang, Yue Buqun, Huang Zhonggong, Ning Zhongze, and Cheng Buyou, six masters gathered in the Jianqi Chongxiao Hall, and Lin Pingzhi then told them his plan.

"Ren Woxing is undoubtedly no match for Dongfang Bubai. His true strength is comparable to mine, and in a real fight, he might even be slightly inferior. He's already old, after all." Lin Pingzhi spoke eloquently. "The Demon Cult is powerful. The Five Mountains Sword Sects combined are no match for them. It's just that Dongfang Bubai has been in seclusion for years, and Yang Lianting has been acting perversely and with little talent, which has forced the Demon Cult to remain inactive for a while. But Ren Woxing is not Dongfang Bubai. He has a stronger character. If he were to seize power, I'm afraid it would unleash a bloodbath on the martial arts world."

Feng Qingyang glared at the boy and said, "Didn't you release Ren Woxing? If you have the guts, go and take care of him yourself. No hero should be underestimated. It's no coincidence that Ren Woxing was able to suppress the righteous path during his reign. He is definitely not a simple man. Dongfang Bubai was able to imprison Ren Woxing and successfully seize power, so he is obviously no ordinary person. How dare you try to plot against both of them at the same time? You simply don't know how to spell the word death."

Lin Pingzhi ignored Feng Qingyang's accusations and said calmly, "Old Master Feng also knows the nature of the Sunflower Manual. It has a profound influence on people when practiced to a high level. If I'm not mistaken, then Yang Lianting must be Dongfang Bubai's lover. Dongfang Bubai should be dreaming of raising a husband and children on Black Curtain Cliff right now."

Ning Zhongze and others felt a chill in their hearts when they thought of a grown man pinching his throat to serve another man. After Cheng Buyu became an elder of Huashan, he had a general understanding of the whole story of the sword energy dispute. He knew a lot about the special features of "Sunflower Manual" and "Bixie Sword Manual", but it still felt a little incredible at this moment.

"After all, evil ways are evil ways. They may be extremely lethal, but at the same time, they will cause endless troubles, unless Buddhist or Taoist thoughts are integrated into them. Just like our ancestor Yuantu, he used his Buddhist inner strength and profound Buddhist cultivation to suppress all these negative influences." Lin Pingzhi was quite impressed with Lin Yuantu. After that thing was cut off, he did not show any distorted psychology that was different from that of an ordinary person.

His father wasn't completely unaffected by this. After thoroughly mastering the "Bixie Sword Manual," he still practiced the "Quanzhen Dao Ge" most of the time, using the authentic "Bixie Sword Manual" only in combat. Afterward, he relied on Madam Lin, Wang, and two concubines to help him cool down his internal heat. This not only made things less of a problem, but actually added a touch of fun. Lin Zhennan now felt like he was getting younger and younger.

To borrow a phrase from Taoism, the harmony of yin and yang is the natural way, which at least does not violate human nature. However, Dongfang Bubai's attempt to combine yin and yang into one was a bit greedy.

"What are you going to do? Let me make it clear first, I'm an old man, I'm old, and it's not a big problem for me to be trapped in Huashan. But it's wishful thinking to ask me to follow you to Heimu Cliff." Feng Qingyang hurriedly got himself out. It seemed that this kid really wanted to form a team to fight monsters.

Lin Pingzhi snorted disdainfully, "You old man are the most cunning, always taking advantage of others. Linghu Chong is exceptionally gifted and a master swordsman. His foundation was exceptionally solidified by Sect Leader Yue. You, old man, have only taught him swordsmanship for a month. In the future, when he roams the martial arts world, he only needs to unleash the 'Nine Swords of Dugu'. Who can stand against him? By then, it won't be Sect Leader Yue's fame that will be celebrated, but yours, old man."

"But you have miscalculated this time. Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan's swordsmanship are working together, and the Jade Girl Pure Heart Sword Technique can also achieve the same effect. Moreover, because of the combined power of the two swords, they can handle dozens or even hundreds of people at the same time. This time, the two of them will surely become famous in the martial arts world, but it is the name of Sect Leader Yue and Huashan that will be spread. You, old man, can only wait for the next time." Lin Pingzhi chuckled, making Feng Qingyang want to beat him up. Is he the kind of person who seeks fame?

"Grandpa, this is actually a question of closeness. Linghu Chong is Sect Leader Yue's direct disciple and future son-in-law. He is definitely coming back this time to marry Yue Lingshan. In the future, Sect Leader Yue will only become closer and closer to him. You, old man, will have to be ranked behind. What do you think? Do you want to accept a direct disciple for fun? In fact, my qualifications are better than Linghu Chong's." As soon as Lin Pingzhi's intention was revealed, everyone burst into laughter. This kid said so much, but he just wanted to become a disciple of Grandpa Feng.

Feng Qingyang glanced at Lin Pingzhi and said calmly, "You're the most shameless brat, always irritating people. You learned a lot of Huashan Kung Fu before you officially joined us. When I was teaching Linghu Chong the swordsmanship, you shamelessly followed me. If I really accepted you as a disciple, who knows what kind of chaos you would cause to the entire Huashan Sect. I guess you're trying to recruit people to go overseas, right?"

After being exposed by Feng Qingyang, Lin Pingzhi remained unfazed. "Huashan was once merely a branch of the Quanzhen Sect. The world's foremost sect was eventually destroyed, but the legacy was preserved. This speaks volumes about the foresight of our ancestors. Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone humans? Shaolin Temple in Songshan also has the Southern Shaolin Temple as a retreat, but what about Huashan? The world is at peace now, but throughout history, the Hu tribes outside the Great Wall have never truly pacified themselves. Every few hundred years, there's always a Hu disaster, which damages the legacy of the Han people."

"In the past, there was the Five Barbarians' invasion of China. More recently, there was the Mongol Yuan Empire. Even before that, there were the Liao and Jin dynasties. Throughout history, when scholars favor military power and the military declines, a nation will eventually collapse. Things must decay before worms can eat them. The Ming Dynasty, ravaged by those greedy and short-sighted pseudo-literati, weakened its military prowess and declined day by day, giving the barbarians outside the Great Wall a chance to recuperate. As long as they slowly grow and rise, history will repeat itself." Lin Pingzhi said solemnly, "From my observations in history, horses in the north and boats in the south meant the north was most vulnerable. But now, the south is becoming increasingly developed and can even run horses, so the safest places have become overseas."

Feng Qingyang, Yue Buqun, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. "We're talking to you about the Jianghu, and you're talking to us about the world. You're really exaggerating, aren't you?" But thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Looking back at history, it seemed to be true. But what could they do? As warriors, they naturally didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, but those in power were all corrupt scholars, and that group was the real power holder.

"So my goal is to gather people with lofty ideals, establish a Han foundation overseas, and completely surround the entire coastal area of ​​the Ming Dynasty. With both civil and military means, over ten years, a hundred years, we will surpass the Ming Dynasty and leave it far behind. We will not take the initiative to invade the Ming Dynasty. We will just wait for the Hu people outside the Great Wall to invade again, and then we will relocate the refugees. When the Ming Dynasty dies, it will be the time for the overseas Han people to counterattack and return home." Lin Pingzhi's voice was sonorous and powerful, but it shocked Feng Qingyang, Yue Buqun and others.

A century-long plan swept across the Ming Dynasty!

This kid has such a big appetite, but there is still hope for success. It just requires a lot of effort.

"What do you want from me, kid?" Faced with the greater good, Feng Qingyang's father was helpless.
