Chapter 35: Treat others the way they treat you (Please read~Please collect~)

Seeing Lu Bai like this, Li Anran instantly lost interest in taking action and sneered, "Forget it, let him take revenge himself!"

Lu Bai's face flushed red.

He knew very well that he should be furious and attack Li Anran immediately.

But, he simply couldn't do it!

When Li Anran looked at him coldly just now, he had a feeling of being stared at by a prehistoric ferocious beast, as if he would be torn to pieces in an instant if he dared to move.

He believed in his hunch very much!
He doesn't want to die!

Compared with life, what is face worth?
Lu Lianrong and Taoist Tianfeng crawled up from the ground in a panic, looking at Li Anran as if he were a ghost, trembling with fear and extreme terror.

They originally thought that Zuo Lengchan was invincible!
I didn’t expect that there was an even more terrifying monster hidden in Mount Huashan!

Compared to him, Zuo Lengchan seemed insignificant!
Li Anran asked again: "How did you find this place?"

The three of them looked at each other, and after a brief silence, they rushed to speak.

They didn't trust each other, and they were all afraid that Li Anran would kill them to silence them. They just hoped that if they said more, Li Anran would show mercy.

"Lu Bai asked us to come!"

Lu Lianrong reacted the fastest, selling out Lu Bai without hesitation, saying, "He said that Linghu Chong's strength improved so quickly, it must be because there is some secret on the Cliff of Regret that we don't know! He insisted on bringing us to the Cliff of Regret to find out!"

"Yes, this was all Lu Bai's idea."

Taoist Tianfeng nodded in agreement and threw the blame on Lu Bai: "In order to control Huashan Sect, the Songshan Sect found Feng Buping, Cheng Buyou and Cong Buqi from the Sword Sect and wanted to support them to become the leaders of Huashan Sect."

He then excused himself: "I didn't want to come at first. The leader's affiliation is a private matter of Huashan Sect. Even if Zuo Lengchan is the leader of the Five Mountains, he has no right to interfere. But I really can't afford to offend Songshan Sect, so I had to follow him up the mountain."

"Lu Lianrong! Taoist Tianfeng!"

Lu Bai's face changed and his eyes were about to spit fire. He wished he could kill this fence-sitter with a sword. But when Li Anran glanced at him indifferently, it was as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, and he shivered all over.

Lu Bai said hurriedly: "Young Master Li, I was also forced! I had no way to refuse the order of the Sect Leader! Don't worry, when I go back this time, I will persuade Senior Brother Zuo to support your Qi Sect to continue to serve as the Huashan Sect Leader..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Bai saw Li Anran's face darken. He then realized that he had said the wrong thing. It was too late for him to change his words. His legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground in fright.

Li Anran snorted coldly and said, "Whoever becomes the leader of Huashan Sect has nothing to do with you Songshan Sect. It is not your turn to support it."

Lu Bai's face turned pale, and he nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice: "Young Master Li is right! That's right!"

"Big Brother? Big Brother?"

At this moment, Li Anran faintly heard someone shouting outside, and then heard a cry of "Ah": "Why is there such a big hole here?!"

"Third Junior Brother, I'm in here! Wait a moment, I'll be out right away!"

Li Anran recognized it was Linghu Chong's voice, and without further ado, he sealed their acupoints and crawled out through the passage.

Li Anran said: "Third Junior Brother, you stay here, I will go and inform Master."

Linghu Chong nodded subconsciously, and then suddenly realized: "How did Senior Brother know that Master is back?"

Just as I was about to ask, Li Anran's figure disappeared.

The Huashan headquarters has its own rules.

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze sat on the main seats, with a group of disciples standing on both sides.

Yue Buqun's usual skills in cultivating his Qi were completely gone at this moment. With a smile on his lips and a look of joy on his face, his brows showed an impatience that he could not conceal. From time to time, he would walk to the door and look in the direction of the Cliff of Repentance.

When he looked around, a hint of purple appeared on his face, obviously he was using the Zixia magic skill.

After learning from Linghu Chong that Feng Qingyang was defeated by Li Anran and that he admitted that the Sword Sect was inferior to the Qi Sect, Yue Buqun immediately ordered all his disciples to prepare incense and candles as offerings, and wait for Li Anran to come back so that they could offer sacrifices to the ancestors and tell them the good news.

Unexpectedly, the wait lasted from noon to evening.

If Yue Buqun had not been worried that his sudden appearance would make Feng Qingyang unhappy, he would have gone to the Cliff of Regret to wait for Li Anran long ago.

Just now, Yue Buqun vaguely saw a fire on the cliff, guessing that it might be Li Anran, so he immediately asked Linghu Chong to go to the cliff. Sure enough, less than half an hour later, Li Anran appeared at the door of Yousuobuweixuan.

"Ran'er, you're back!"

Yue Buqun greeted them with a smile, and pulled Li Anran along. He was about to listen again to Feng Qingyang's admission that the Sword Sect was inferior to the Qi Sect from the perspective of the person involved.

Li Anran stepped forward and whispered to him what happened in the cave at Siguo Cliff.

Yue Buqun was shocked.

He knew that seventy years ago, the ten elders of the Demon Cult were trapped and died under the Cliff of Repentance.

I didn't tell Li Anran before because I felt that this matter was not very glorious.

They never expected that the Tenth Elder of the Demon Cult would leave them such a great gift before his death.

As for Lu Bai and the other two, Yue Buqun didn't take them seriously.

His eldest disciple has already defeated Feng Qingyang, so it should be easy for him to deal with Lu Bai and the others.

"God bless our Huashan Sect! God bless our Huashan Sect!"

Yue Buqun was so happy that he kept repeating to himself. But soon, he seemed to have thought of something. He dismissed all the disciples and said to Ning Zhongze, "Junior sister, you can go to the cliff with Ran'er. I will go down the mountain and will be here later."

After saying this, Yue Buqun was about to display his Qinggong skills and go down the mountain.

Li Anran stopped him and asked, "Master, are you worried that Feng Buping might leak the news and attract the covetousness of the Songshan Sect?"

Yue Buqun hummed and said, "Besides Lu Bai, Lu Lianrong, Tianfeng Taoist and our Huashan Sect members, only Feng Buping knows what happened today. As long as we capture him and deny to the death that he had seen Lu Bai and the others, Zuo Lengchan will not be able to do anything to us."

Li Anran said: "Disciple thinks this is an opportunity."

Yue Buqun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening. His eyes lit up and his voice trembled a little: "Ran'er, what you mean is..."

Li Anran nodded and said, "It's time to take back the position of the Five Mountains leader that belongs to our Huashan Sect."

"Zuo Lengchan can instigate Feng Buping to seize the position of the leader of our Huashan Sect, and we can also let Lu Bai compete for the position of the leader of the Songshan Sect."

"Lu Bai is afraid of death. As long as he sees that the strength of our Huashan Sect is superior to that of Songshan Sect, and we promise to give him the position of the leader of Songshan Sect after the matter is accomplished, he will definitely be willing to betray Zuo Lengchan."

"Then we can legitimately take back the position of leader of the Five Mountains from Zuo Lengchan!"

Yue Buqun took a deep breath, tapped the table unconsciously with his fingers, and fell into deep thought.

If you want to become the leader of the Five Mountains, having high martial arts skills and strong strength are the most important, but having high martial arts skills and strong strength is not enough.

The Five Mountains Sword Sect is a famous and upright sect, not an evil cult. You have to do things in a legitimate way. You can't forcibly take away Zuo Lengchan's position as leader just because you think you are stronger than Zuo Lengchan.

They must find a legitimate reason to drive Zuo Lengchan off the position of leader of the Five Mountains.

The Songshan Sect had previously slaughtered Liu Zhengfeng's entire family in Hengshan City, exposing Zuo Lengchan's evil ambitions and causing the other four sects to feel grief and resentment.

If Lu Bai, the Crane Hand, one of the Thirteen Guardians, were to "kill his own relatives for the sake of justice", it would certainly prove that Zuo Lengchan was using all means to murder his fellow sect members in order to annex the other four sects.

And letting Feng Buping go to Songshan would induce the Songshan sect to continue taking action, so that more people would know that the Songshan sect supported the abandoned disciple of Huashan sect in seizing the position of the head of Huashan.

Which family doesn’t have a few unfilial disciples?

If the Songshan Sect can support the abandoned disciples of Mount Hua to seize the position of the leader of Mount Hua, then they will certainly also support the abandoned disciples of their own sect to fight for the position of the leader!
This would not only further prove Zuo Lengchan's crime of trying to annex the other four sects by any means necessary, but would also make the other three sects unite with the Huashan Sect and stand on the same front.

It is also possible to put the Huashan Sect in a weak position, creating a situation where "the Songshan Sect was pressing forward step by step, and the Huashan Sect was forced to fight back", and gain more support from righteous people.

In addition, the lost sword techniques of the Five Mountains Sword Sect in the cave on the Cliff of Repentance can be used to win over Shi En and the other three sects.

The Huashan Sect can sit on the position of leader of the Five Mountains with dignity, and no one can find any fault with it!
Yue Buqun thought about it and felt that there was great potential in this matter. He also thought that since Li Anran was already able to defeat Feng Qingyang, it would not be a problem for him to deal with Zuo Lengchan, so he made up his mind immediately.

"Okay! I will write a letter to the leaders of the three sects of Hengshan, Taishan, and Hengshan, and tell them that the lost sword techniques of each sect were found in the mountains behind the Cliff of Repentance!"
