The Villain's Counterattack

On March 15th, the Songshan Sect was filled with jubilation, and countless people from the martial arts world came to join in the fun. While the selection of the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect was in progress, there was also a rumor that the Songshan Sect was going to forcibly merge the Five Mountains, and change the Left Leader to the Left Sect Master.

All the masters from Huashan, Hengshan, Taishan and Hengshan came out, and the heads of Shaolin and Wudang also attended, giving enough face to the Songshan School.

Wang Yuanba of the Golden Sword Sect has lived a very comfortable life in the past two years. With the help of Huashan's Yin-Yang sword technique, the strength of his disciples has greatly improved. His two sons are now also able to perform well, and he is no longer struggling alone. The most important thing is that he has a grandson who dares to claim to be the best in the world, which makes him proud.

This time, he threw his son and grandson aside and followed his grandson to Mount Songshan. There were hundreds of people with him, most of whom were people from the martial arts world who were defeated by him and "voluntarily" surrendered to him. There were also two charming girls with him, one was Lan Fenghuang from the Five Poisons Sect, and the other was Ren Yingying who had disguised herself with makeup.

This time the Five Mountains Conference was grand, with masters from Kunlun, Emei, Kongtong, and Qingcheng sects coming. However, the people from Qingcheng sect immediately hid far away when they saw Lin Pingzhi. The Qingcheng sect was still carrying a wanted warrant from the imperial court. Although the people behind them tried their best, they were all resolved one by one by Lin Pingzhi. They would rather pay more money to confirm the identity of Qingcheng sect as an outlaw.

Lin Pingzhi came with great fanfare, and Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu jointly welcomed him, which attracted countless people's attention. Taoist Chongxu was fine, but Master Fangzheng knew that this kid had also practiced Shaolin's "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art", and his martial arts skills might really be called the best in the world. But no one knew why he deliberately showed weakness and refused to fight to the death with Dongfang Bubai.

Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan School was well prepared. He first silenced Mr. Mo Da with the death of Fei Bin, and then colluded with the Three Jades of Mount Tai to seize the position of the head of the Tianmen Taoist Priest. However, this time he underestimated the martial arts of the Tianmen Taoist Priest, and the Qinghai Xiao was directly killed by the Tianmen Taoist Priest. The Three Jades were unable to gain any advantage despite joining forces.

"The Five Doctors Sword of Mount Tai. I didn't expect to see this magic sword again. Zuo has admired this sword technique for a long time. I wonder if Taoist Tianmen could teach me something." The conspiracy was exposed, and the five sects failed to defeat even three of them in the end, which made Zuo Lengchan a little embarrassed.

Lin Pingzhi suddenly spoke up, "Master Tianmen, he who understands the current situation is a hero. The unification of the Five Mountains will greatly enhance their prestige, and future business will be much more convenient. Besides the inconvenience of command due to distance, there are many advantages. Furthermore, the general trend of the world is that long periods of unity will inevitably lead to division, and long periods of division will inevitably lead to unity. The Five Mountains were united by people, and naturally they can also be divided by people. How can you not see this and act against the will of heaven? Furthermore, when the Five Mountains are united, the leader must be elected, not forced into a fight."

Lin Pingzhi's words raised eyebrows, and someone nearby asked loudly: "Why didn't you win the first place in martial arts among all the martial arts sects by fighting?"

"If it is a sect, martial arts will naturally be the best if it is close at hand. However, the Five Mountains are spread all over the country. At this time, martial arts is no longer the most important thing, but wisdom and talent are. We have only heard of conquering the world by force, but never heard of ruling the world by force. Later, Master Fangzheng, Taoist Chongxu and I will give you a test paper, listing some questions about developing the righteous way. You can answer them one by one. Whoever wins will become the head of the Five Mountains." Lin Pingzhi's words seemed nonsense, but they were refreshing to everyone.

"Nonsense! We are the people of Jianghu who are content to avenge our enemies and are the best at martial arts. How can we learn from that sour scholar and indulge in literary tricks?"

"An incompetent general can bring ruin to the entire army. Some people are exceptionally talented, more than enough to manage a village, but struggling to manage a town. Some can only manage thirty or fifty people, and managing hundreds or even thousands will only lead to disaster. Some people, with extraordinary martial arts skills, can bring resentment to even the largest forces. The previous number one martial artist, Dongfang Bubai, was unrivaled in martial arts, but he ultimately favored a male prostitute and brought chaos to the Demon Cult. We should all be cautious, and those of us in the martial arts world should not only value martial arts but also morality. The Five Mountains are one. We should all politely elect a highly respected person to be the leader. Martial arts and other things are secondary. Isn't that right?"

Zuo Lengchan felt a pang of annoyance because Lin Pingzhi directly recommended Taoist Tianmen as the new leader of the Five Mountains Sect and asked the other sects one by one whether they had any objections. Yue Buqun praised him a few times, Mo Da said nothing, but Ding Xian asked Taoist Tianmen to ensure that the nuns of Hengshan were not disturbed, and then she also voted in favor, which made Taoist Tianmen a little confused.

What is even more bizarre is that the fence-sitters who had previously agreed with the Taishan Sect began to praise Taoist Tianmen.

"The merger of the Five Mountains is a family affair of the Five Mountains. There is no need for Master Lin to make comments. For people in the martial arts world, martial arts are the most important. If martial arts cannot convince the people, how can you be the leader of the Five Mountains?" Zuo Lengchan was determined to seize power by force.

Lin Pingzhi walked up to the Taoist priest of Tianmen and said, "How about you accept me as your disciple on my behalf? I'll help you beat them all down. Then you'll be the head of the Five Mountains Sect, and I'll be the chief steward in charge of finances. I'll make sure everyone makes a profit."

"When the Five Mountains compete in swordplay, it's natural to use the martial arts of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Young Master Lin's "Bixie Sword Technique" is not suitable." Zuo Lengchan deliberately glanced at Lin Ping's lower body while speaking, the meaning was self-evident.

"I really want to spar with Sect Leader Zuo. I've learned quite a bit of the Five Mountains Sword School's sword techniques. Without a doubt, I know the martial arts of the Central Mountain Songshan, the Southern Mountain Hengshan, the Western Mountain Huashan, the Northern Mountain Hengshan, and the Eastern Mountain Taishan. This young master is the most suitable candidate to be the Sect Leader of the Five Mountains." Lin Pingzhi stood on the stage with a carefree attitude. "Tianmen Sect Leader, am I considered a disciple of Mount Taishan?"

Although the Taoist priest of Tianmen was a stubborn person, he was no fool. He knew that Lin Pingzhi could not become the head of the Five Mountains Sect, so he nodded and said, "Mr. Lin has indeed learned my Taishan martial arts and is worthy of being an outer disciple."

Lin Pingzhi gave him a thumbs-up, then turned his gaze to Mr. Mo Da, "Mr. Mo Da, my Hunan Fuwei Escort Agency has given you quite a bit of money. Am I considered a Hengshan disciple?"

Mr. Mo Da thought of the Hengshan secret manual he had sent him, nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Lin's Hengshan swordsmanship has also amazed me. Mr. Lin, can you be my Hengshan disciple?"

Lin Pingzhi nodded, then blinked at Yue Buqun. "Master Yue, I traveled extensively throughout the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, and the first internal energy I acquired was the Huashan Basic Internal Energy. Later, I learned the Huashan Basic Sword Technique, and then I stole the Huashan Yin-Yang Sword Technique. During my time as a guest at Huashan, I also learned a lot of other martial arts. You wouldn't deny me as a Huashan disciple, would you?"

Then, without waiting for Yue Buqun to speak, he added, "I can transfer some of the shares of the Fuwei Escort Agency in SX Province."

"Deal." Yue Buqun's mind moved. Although he didn't understand why he did this, it didn't stop him from joining in to disrupt the situation. He had received news from Lin Pingzhi before that the imperial court intended to suppress the martial arts sects. If he stood out too much at this time, he would be punished.

Lin Pingzhi turned his gaze to Nun Dingxian, who spoke first, "Mr. Lin is so young and has extraordinary martial arts skills. He single-handedly manages the business of over a dozen provinces, and he's able to satisfy everyone. This shows his ability. I have no objection to you becoming the head of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, but I cannot accept your request to be my Hengshan disciple."

Lin Pingzhi nodded and said, "Thank you, Master Dingxian, for your support. Now that the four sects of the Five Mountains Sword Sect have agreed, I wonder what Sect Leader Zuo has in mind."

"I, Songshan, object." Zuo Lengchan remained silent, but Le Hou stood up. "You have a nefarious relationship with the Demon Cult. I have accurate information that Ren Woxing was released by you. Later, Dongfang Bubai was driven off the Black Wood Cliff by Ren Woxing, which was also your handiwork. And Ren Woxing even spread the word that you were the Demon Cult's deputy leader. Good and evil cannot coexist, so you cannot be the head of the Five Mountains Sword Sect."

Lin Pingzhi scratched his head and said, "That's not right. When the Demon Cult besieged the Hengshan disciples, didn't the Demon Cult's Left Elder also take action? But in the end, it was thwarted by Linghu brat."

"Stop slandering me." Zuo Lengchan's face changed drastically. "Although Linghu Chong is a rising star, if I personally take action, how can I let him escape unscathed?"

"Whether you can escape unscathed or not, you'll know after trying. Linghu Chong, Yue Lingshan, some people are questioning your Huashan martial arts. Would you like to ask Alliance Leader Zuo for some advice? I'm very optimistic about your Jade Girl Pure Heart Sword Technique." Lin Pingzhi pointed the gun directly at Linghu Chong and his wife.

"I have learned the Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword Technique from Quanzhen Sect, and when combined with my wife's double swords, it is indeed quite powerful. I was not able to fully enjoy it that day due to the rush. Now that everyone is interested, I would like to ask Alliance Leader Zuo for some guidance." Linghu Chong got the hint from Yue Buqun, asking him to cooperate with Lin Pingzhi, and pulled Yue Lingshan to stand up.

"Junior Brother Linghu, are you doing this to represent the Huashan Sect?" Zuo Lengchan put a hat on him.

Yue Buqun said calmly: "Chong'er is the eldest disciple of Huashan Sect and the future leader of Huashan Sect. To some extent, he can indeed represent our Huashan Sect." Yue Buqun had already advanced to the ranks of top masters. Coupled with his familiarity with the swordsmanship of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, he believed that he was not inferior to Zuo Lengchan. However, he was still no match for the combined swordsmanship of his daughter and son-in-law. Knowing that the merger of the Five Mountains Sects would do more harm than good, he simply disrupted the matter.
