The Villain's Counterattack

The disciple stepped forward, bowed to Sun Yuankai, and said, "Lin Bufan of Huashan greets this friend. My ancestors were from Fujian, and I later became a disciple at Huashan. When I was young, I temporarily lived in Luoyang. I don't remember having any friends far away in the capital. I wonder who entrusted you to deliver this gift to me?"

Can't see through!

Sun Yuankai's gaze fell on him like lightning, and he suddenly took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Lin Bufan, do you still remember Sun Yuankai of the Polar Sun Family?"

The young man frowned and said in confusion, "The Polar Sun Family? Please forgive my ignorance, I have never heard of this place. As for Sun Yuankai of the Sun Family, I wonder if any of you brothers have heard of him?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, even Zuo Lengchan and others. They all cast surprised looks at Sun Yuankai. Sun Yuankai's face changed instantly, and a thought rolled through his mind: Could it be that I found the wrong person?

He had gone through so much hardship, suffered so much, even used up all six resurrection chances, only to find the wrong person? How could he accept this?

"Lin Bufan, Lin Bufan, how could you forget me? How dare you forget me? Have you forgotten the two girls, Lingmeng and Lingyue, who were devoured by me? They were your beloved beauties, but they died in my hands. How dare you forget them?!" Sun Yuankai was in a state of confusion and pointed at the young man and cursed him, but in return he received strange looks from the people around him.

However, Zuo Lengchan heard something different: swallow!

This person was hiding something. I'm afraid it wasn't copying, but devouring. It's just that he was interrupted by the demon Ge Changlao before he could complete his task, so that the leader of the Beggar Gang, Li, could escape the disaster temporarily. Although he still died in the end, he was not devoured by this person. This word sounds scary. This guy is not a decent person.

"Friend, are you sure you are looking for me, Lin Bufan? Maybe you remembered the wrong name, is it Zhang Bufan or Li Bufan?" The young man saw Sun Yuankai rushing towards him, and gently forced him back with a palm. What he used was the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm, which originally belonged to the Hengshan School. Later, Huashan exchanged it for the Hengshan School's own swordsmanship in the name of Quanzhen True Teaching.

"A top-notch expert." Le Hou muttered softly, sighing inwardly. Sun Yuankai's eyes were bloodshot as he pushed his hands towards the young man, shouting, "Lin Bufan, die! In the name of the Son of the World, I will punish you!"

Suddenly, an inexplicable and huge aura descended from the sky, enveloping the entire Huashan Mountain. The sword energy made everyone in Chongxiao Hall feel suffocated, as if a dark cloud was covering everyone. However, this feeling came and went quickly, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye. Sun Yuankai groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Impossible, impossible, I can't be wrong. Lin Bufan must be in a place with rich luck. Why can't I find him? You are not Lin Bufan, you are not Lin Bufan!" Sun Yuankai acted like a madman. The young man was stunned and shook his head gently. "I am Huashan Shuqi. I was the youngest disciple of our master before Junior Brother Lin Bufan. Junior Brother Lin, why don't you come out?"

A young man in his twenties with a baby face walked out. He was dressed in ordinary clothes of a Huashan disciple. The scabbard of the long sword at his waist looked even more worn. He had no extra accessories on his body. Except for a pair of eyes full of spirituality and a good-looking appearance, there was really nothing special about him. He was just a little fat.

"Lin Bufan from Huashan greets this friend." Lin Bufan bowed to Zuo Lengchan and said, "Greetings to Uncle Zuo. My brother once said that Uncle Zuo's talent surpasses ours, but he just hasn't found his own path. If he can leave the Central Plains to broaden his horizons and devote himself to his career, his future achievements will surely be no less than ours."

Zuo Lengchan was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "Why didn't you tell Uncle Master about this in advance?"

Lin Bufan chuckled and said, "Master won't allow it."

Zuo Lengchan laughed heartily and said, "Master, you're so kind! Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because my brother didn't forbid it." Lin Bufan's answer made Zuo Lengchan very satisfied. "It is a great honor for Zuo Lengchan to have the guidance of the best person in the world. I will definitely live up to the high expectations and at least do not fall behind Junior Brother Yue. Tomorrow I will go out of the domain, and my first stop will be the Ryukyu Islands. I hope Junior Brother Lin will take good care of me."

Lin Bufan responded, then said to Sun Yuankai, "This friend may have found the wrong person. My original name is Lin Bufan, the son of the chief escort of the Fujian Fuwei Escort Agency. When I was young, my family was invaded by foreign enemies, and my father faked his death to escape and fled overseas. I became a disciple in Huashan and took shelter under my mentor. Later, my brother fought back, avenged his father, and divided the family business. Since then, I have lived in seclusion in Huashan. Later, my father made a name for himself overseas and was granted the power by Your Majesty to establish a country and become the ruler. My brother was devoted to martial arts and had no interest in government affairs, so I became the prince and will inherit the throne in the future. To show my unwavering loyalty to Your Majesty, I changed my name to Lin Zhong and will stay in Daming for at least one month every year."

"So my friend wanted to find Lin Bufan, but he was ten years late. Ten years ago, I was Lin Bufan. Now my name is Lin Zhong, the crown prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom in the Ming Dynasty."

Lin Bufan suddenly smiled and said, "But if you want to find Lin Bufan, then you're not wrong. My name on Huashan has never changed. I occasionally use the name Lin Bufan when I travel around the martial arts world. After all, the Crown Prince Lin Zhong has important connections, so it's not suitable for him to travel the martial arts world. He's always surrounded by a group of bodyguards, and he has no freedom at all."

"You are not Lin Bufan, you are indeed not Lin Bufan. With that bastard's personality, it is impossible for him to hide and change his name. Instead of being punished by heaven, you are suffering from it. I, Sun Yuankai, refuse to accept it!" After Sun Yuankai finished speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground without a sound.

Zuo Lengchan rushed out instantly, groped his body twice, his expression slightly subtle, and slowly uttered two words: "Dead."

How can this be?

How could the man who could come back from the dead actually die so simply? His death was unclear and inexplicable.

Yue Buqun walked out slowly, approached Zuo Lengchan, and said in a deep voice, "That brat Lin Pingzhi once told me some jokes. Gods may exist, but divine grace is often a trap. The grace of a god must be repaid. If not, then the only way to pay is with one's body. He's been brought back to life several times, but he couldn't complete the so-called mission. His fate is probably even more terrible than being torn apart, assuming what he said is true."

"Junior Brother Yue, who do you think he is looking for?" Zuo Lengchan suddenly asked, very curious about the man who caused cholera throughout the world.

Yue Buqun stroked his beard and smiled, pointing at Lin Bufan and said, "Do you know where his name Bufan came from?"

Zuo Lengchan was slightly taken aback. He had originally thought that this matter had nothing to do with Lin Bufan, but he had never expected it to come back to him. Yue Buqun said softly, "Lin Pingzhi helped to choose the name Bufan. The truly extraordinary one is not my disciple Lin Zhong, but Lin Pingzhi, who named him. The world is in chaos. Haha, Senior Brother Zuo, isn't it now that the world is in chaos?"

Zuo Lengchan frowned. The Ming Dynasty was obviously thriving and strong, with foreign resources imported and the country and people living in peace and prosperity. How could there be talk of chaos in the world?

"The world is not just the Ming Dynasty. The peace and prosperity of our Ming Dynasty is built on the foundation of the chaos caused by foreign races. One can even say that the wider world outside the Ming Dynasty is in chaos, disrupted by our Ming Dynasty." Yue Buqun chuckled softly and said, "This kind of chaos is a blessing for our Ming Dynasty. I am willing to contribute my own strength to this chaos. What about Brother Zuo?"

Zuo Lengchan's entire body trembled, the barrier in his chest instantly dissipating. His aura suddenly soared, and he couldn't help but laugh. "As a senior brother, I can't always be inferior to my junior brother. Junior Brother Yue, it looks like our competition will have to continue. This time, I won't lose again! The Songshan Sect is the Songshan Sect of Henan, and it's also the Songshan Sect of the Ming Dynasty. I don't mind making the Songshan Sect the Songshan Sect of the world."

"Brother Zuo is probably a step too late. Our Huashan Sect will not expand further within the Ming Dynasty, but we have thousands of disciples overseas. The largest sect in the Ryukyu Kingdom is our Huashan Sect, and we already have 500 disciples in Luzon. Brother Zuo needs to work harder if he wants to catch up and surpass the Huashan Sect."

"Junior Brother Yue, are you finally willing to accept the challenge? I'm not afraid of a challenge, I'm only afraid of not getting a fight. Aren't you afraid that I'll join forces with the Demon Cult to fight you outside the domain?"

Yue Buqun: Brother Zuo, do you think that our Huashan Sect's overseas development is truly our own? No, apart from the Ryukyu Kingdom, our greatest support is actually the Sun Moon Divine Sect, and that kid Lin Pingzhi is the one pulling the strings.

He told me that overseas Han Chinese are one family!

Senior Brother Zuo, if you only want to compete with me, you are still a little shortsighted. Although your strength has improved, you may not be able to catch up with me. Even my son-in-law, daughter, and disciples will soon surpass you.

Our Huashan Sect has nearly double-digit numbers of top masters. Yue Buqun's gaze passed over Linghu Chong, Yue Lingshan, Lin Bufan, and Lin Feifei, and headed towards the back mountain, where Grand Master Feng was still in good spirits. His wife Ning Zhongze was preparing meals for him and trying hard to learn some sword techniques from him.

I still need to keep working hard, otherwise I will be surpassed by my wife, which will be embarrassing.

On the Black Wood Cliff, Sect Leader Yingying of Ren Sect and female disciple Yilin of Hengshan were playing chess. Suddenly, they both raised their heads and looked towards the direction of Huashan. What seemed to have happened there?

At the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Monk Fangzheng's lecture came to an abrupt halt. He gazed into the distance and muttered to himself, "This feeling is truly mysterious."

In the Wudang Military Academy, Taoist Chongxu suddenly stood up and said, "In that direction, could it be that someone from Huashan has broken through that barrier and ascended to the Xiantian realm? That's impossible!"

Lin Zhennan, accompanied by his wife, walked slowly into the Ryukyu Kingdom's meeting hall. He paused for a moment and cast his gaze in the direction of Daming. "Could it be that Pingzhi has returned to the mortal world?"

In the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, three figures rushed out of the palace to the imperial study. A moment later, an imperial edict was sent to Huashan at full speed.

Sitting on the high dragon throne, a figure in dragon robes had an inexplicable smile on his face. "It's getting more and more lively. All kinds of monsters and demons dare to run wild in my territory. Are you returning to the immortal world? Humph, you abandoned me and ran away, and now you want to come back and beg me. Whether you can help me depends on whether you can please me. The first wave was quite dedicated, but what the hell is this wave behind? You brought me back to life in the martial arts world, and you can even choose your own resurrection location? Do you really want to have fun? Believe it or not, I will make you unable to get an erection for the rest of your life, and forced to practice the "Evil-Repelling Sword Technique" since birth."
