Chapter 43 Don't Be Too Harsh (Please Read~Please Collect~)

Master Ding Xian was so worried that she even forgot to care about the lost sword skills of the Hengshan School. She asked Lu Bai, Lu Lianrong and Taoist Tianfeng a lot of questions about Zuo Lengchan and the Songshan School.

Lu Bai and the other two did not lie about these matters, so they answered these questions fluently and covered all the details one by one.

After hearing this, Master Dingxian no longer had any doubts and just waited for the leaders of the Taishan and Hengshan sects to arrive to discuss countermeasures.

Three days later, the head of Taishan Sect, Taoist Tianmen, came to Huashan with his fellow apprentice Taoist Tianbai.

Seven days later, Mr. Mo Da, the head of Hengshan School, came to Huashan alone.

Taoist Tianmen of Taishan Sect has a temperament very similar to that of Master Dingyi. He hates evil and has a strong character. When he saw his junior fellow Taoist Tianfeng in Huashan Sect, he was stunned at first.

After learning about Zuo Lengchan's actions from Tianfeng and others, he became furious. He pointed at Taoist Tianfeng's nose and cursed him, wishing he could go to Songshan to kill him right away.

He was extremely opposed to Yue Buqun's suggestion that "if Zuo Lengchan is willing to reform himself, then let the past be turned over a new leaf."

"Senior Brother Yue, you are kind-hearted and a modest gentleman, but you are totally wrong to judge Zuo Lengchan with your gentleman's heart!"

"As the saying goes, 'It is difficult to change a person's nature'! If we leave Zuo Lengchan as this poisonous sore, what if he colludes with the Demon Cult one day and sets a trap for us? What shall we do?"

There is no need to say more about the great Hengshan School.

When his fellow apprentice Liu Zhengfeng's entire family was wiped out by the Songshan Sect, he launched a surprise attack and killed Fei Bin, the "Great Songyang Hand" among the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan.

He is the one among the four sect leaders who most wishes Zuo Lengchan to die immediately!
He immediately agreed with Taoist Tianmen's words.

The attitudes of the two also directly affected Master Ding Xian.

Master Dingxian also felt that Zuo Lengchan should be held responsible for his actions and step down from the positions of leader of the Five Mountains and head of the Songshan Sect so that the other four sects could feel at ease.

Seeing that the general trend had already been established, Yue Buqun naturally went with the flow and expressed his agreement.

After some discussion, the four of them all agreed that this should be done as soon as possible, as the longer it was delayed, the greater the variables would be.

It was decided immediately that Taoist Tianmen, Master Dingyi, and Mo Da would immediately send a message back, asking their fellow disciples who stayed behind in the sect to lead their disciples to Huashan.

Yue Buqun reported to Zuo Lengchan the discovery of the lost sword techniques of the Five Mountains Sword Sect in the back mountain of Huashan.

After Zuo Lengchan arrived at Mount Hua, they convened the Five Mountains Alliance in advance.

At that time, if Zuo Lengchan is willing to retire from the world, he will be given some dignity. If he is unwilling, he will be forced to retire.

During this process, Lu Bai and the other two "inadvertently" mentioned the matter of Feng Qingyang.

Under Yue Buqun's instruction, Lu Bai and the others only said that they saw Feng Qingyang instructing Huashan disciples in swordsmanship, and did not mention that Li Anran defeated Feng Qingyang.

When Master Dingxian and Taoist Tianmen heard that the old Mr. Feng, who once dominated the world, was actually in Huashan, they felt relieved about the upcoming Five Mountains Alliance.

Mo Da suddenly realized.

Unlike Ding Xian and Tian Men, Mo Da is a man of deep thoughts. He guesses that Yue Buqun is not as kind as he appears to be, and is probably aiming for Zuo Lengchan's position as the leader of the Five Mountains.

The only thing he couldn't figure out was how Yue Buqun forced Lu Bai and the other two to betray Zuo Lengchan when there were only a few of them in Huashan Sect? And why did he think he could take over the position of the leader of the Five Mountains after overthrowing Zuo Lengchan?

Now it seems that the confidence of Huashan Sect lies in Feng Qingyang!
Not only has he helped various sects to find the lost sword techniques, he also has the reputation of being an upright and modest gentleman. Coupled with Feng Qingyang's strength, Yue Buqun's position as the leader of the Five Mountains is indeed a sure thing!
Mo Da figured it all out, but he didn't mind.

Yue Buqun has clearly expressed his opposition to the merger of the Five Mountains, so it’s fine to let him be the leader of the Five Mountains!
It’s better than the ambitious Zuo Lengchan!
After the matter was settled, Mo Da, Tian Men and Ding Xian immediately wrote a letter to Yue Buqun, asking him to deliver it to their respective sects on their behalf.

Afterwards, they used paper and ink to copy out the sword techniques on the wall one by one, and destroyed all the carvings on the wall. Then they temporarily stayed in the Huashan Main Hall and began to practice these lost sword techniques.

After Yue Buqun came down from the cliff of remorse, he immediately summoned Li Anran and told him everything he had discussed with Mo Da and others. Li Anran naturally had no objection to this.

Professional matters should be done by professionals!

His master has rich experience in the martial arts world, and the leaders of the other three factions are no less experienced. There will naturally be no problem with what they decide. All he has to do is to be a good thug!
Two days passed in a flash.

That afternoon, Li Anran was discussing and gaining experience with Feng Qingyang when they suddenly heard a "bang" in the air.

Looking up, I saw a silver-white sword-shaped firework blooming. It stayed in the air for a long time before slowly falling down. After descending more than ten feet, it turned into a sky full of meteors.

This is the fireworks used by the Huashan Sect to recruit disciples!
Feng Qingyang already knew Yue Buqun's plan, so he waved his hand and said, "Go! Don't lose them..." After a pause, he changed his words and said, "Don't be too harsh! After all, our Huashan Sect is a famous and upright sect. It would be bad if news got out that we killed them all!"

Li Anran: "...Disciple understands." After saying that, he used his Qing Kung Fu to run quickly.

Although Li Anran did not practice Qinggong deliberately, he used Qinggong even when walking in his daily life.

Especially after learning a superior light skill from Feng Qingyang, the level of his light skill gradually broke through to level 5.

Although it is far inferior to [Internal Power] and [Techniques], the speed is much faster than before.

In just a moment, he had arrived outside the Huashan Main Hall and saw a crowd of people gathering in the Zhengqi Hall from afar.

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze sat on the main seats, with a group of Huashan disciples standing beside them.

Most of these Huashan disciples had never seen such a grand scene. They all looked nervous and their right hands unconsciously pressed on the long swords at their waists.

Opposite them, sitting at the head of the guests was a fat man with a sturdy build. Judging from the clothes he was wearing, he must be a member of the Songshan School.

Below him were four people also dressed in Songshan school attire, and behind them stood more than a dozen young disciples of the Songshan school.

Further down was a short Taoist priest, the size of a child, probably weighing less than 80 kilograms.

Li Anran did not know this Taoist, but behind him stood about twenty young disciples wearing green robes, white cloth wrapped around their heads, and earless hemp shoes.

Li Anran had heard Linghu Chong mention that this was the attire of Qingcheng Sect disciples.

This short Taoist must be Yu Canghai without a doubt.

And from behind Yue Buqun, Lin Pingzhi glared at him with gritted teeth, which also confirmed this.

There were seven people sitting below Yu Canghai.

Except for the last long sword on the waist, which is the weapon of Huashan Sect, it should belong to Feng Buping of the Sword Sect.

As for the other six who can sit here, I think even if they are not the leaders of a sect, they are also well-known masters in the world.

In addition to those who were qualified to sit, there were also many people from the underworld who were not wearing uniform attire. They should be the evildoers recruited by Zuo Lengchan.

The two sides are clearly divided and the atmosphere is full of tension.

"No wonder it took so long! It must be difficult for Zuo Lengchan to gather so many people!"

Li Anran glanced over and noticed that there were still a few hidden auras in Zhengqi Hall. They should be Taoist Tianmen, Master Dingxian Dingyi, Mo Da and others.

Now, the disciples of the three sects are still on the road. They don’t want to alert the enemy, so they didn’t show up.
