Chapter 70 Abdicate and give way to talents

Yue Buqun pretended to scold Li Anran, then used his lightness skills to leap onto the platform and helped Zhen Shanzi up. However, he found that Zhen Shanzi's eyes were closed, as if he had fainted.

Still want to pretend to be dizzy?

Yue Buqun sneered in his heart, pretending to be anxious on the surface, and shouted, "Master Zhenshanzi! Master Zhenshanzi!" While pressing his right hand on the back of Zhenshanzi, he continuously transferred Zixia Qi into Zhenshanzi's body.

Zhen Shanzi was helpless and could only groan and slowly open his eyes.

Yue Buqun said apologetically: "Master Zhenshanzi, I was drunk and did not use any gentle force. Please forgive me."

Zhen Shanzi felt that the gazes from the people around him were like arrows, shooting him with holes and making him feel ashamed. He struggled to stand up, covered his face with his sleeves, and hurriedly walked off the stage: "My skills are not as good as others, so I can't blame others."

Yue Buqun said loudly: "Master Zhenshanzi, the matter of Zuo Lengchan..."

Zhen Shanzi said without even turning his head: "I am only considering the overall situation and offering some suggestions. If you don't want to listen, you can do whatever you want!" He hid in the wooden shed, too embarrassed to see anyone.

Yue Buqun regretted not grabbing Zhen Shanzi and letting him stay on the stage for a while longer. He was in this state already, but his mouth was still so stubborn.

Lu Bai came up to the stage and said, "Senior Brother Yue, in a martial arts competition, it is inevitable that some mistakes will be made. Junior Brother Li Anran is unarmed and is afraid of hurting the relationship. You can't blame him for this."

Then he looked at Yu Canghai and the leaders of the Emei Kongtong sects and said, "Master Yu is right. Since none of us can convince each other, we should speak with our abilities! Taoist Master Zhenshanzi has nothing to say. What about you? Do you have anything else to say?"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Yu Canghai and his companions, with most of them having expressions of watching the fun and laughing at the joke.

Some people who like to provoke others even shouted, "Are you afraid? You don't even have the courage to go up there?" and other provocative words.

Yu Canghai and others blushed, but after seeing Zhen Shanzi's miserable condition, they were unwilling to go on stage to be slapped.

Yu Jizi's legs went weak even more. Yu Canghai and the others were just embarrassed and humiliated and they could just bear with it. But his backstabbing today might cost him his life!

"Amitabha."

Fang Zheng put his hands together, and his voice was not loud but it reached everyone's ears. It was the Lion's Roar of Buddhism. He said, "The purpose of fighting is to resolve differences, not the goal. Donors must not lose sight of the main purpose."

"Master Fang Zheng is right."

Taoist Chongxu said, "We are gathered here today, firstly to congratulate Mr. Yue on becoming the new leader of the Five Mountains, and secondly to discuss the fight against the Demon Cult. If this matter damages the harmony, it will be very inappropriate."

The Wudang Sect was at its most powerful during the lifetime of Zhang Sanfeng, and was firmly superior to the Shaolin Sect.

Although it rose and fell afterwards, it has always been regarded as one of the leading martial arts schools along with Shaolin.

However, due to the sneak attack by the Demon Cult that year, most of the Wudang Sect's masters were killed, and even the sect's most valuable treasure, the "Tai Chi Boxing Manual" and the Sect Leader's token, the Zhenwu Sword, were lost.

Today, Wudang is in a period of transition, with Chongxu being the only capable person, and he has gradually become Shaolin's follower.

The same is true for the Kongtong, Kunlun, Emei and other sects.

When Fangzheng and Chongxu spoke, no matter what everyone thought in their hearts, they had to obey them outwardly. Many of them even flattered Fangzheng and Chongxu and agreed loudly.

For a moment, people from all directions were shouting the name of Shaolin and Wudang Fang Zheng Chongxu, as if they were in the home turf of Shaolin and Wudang. On the contrary, the main Five Mountains Sword Sect and Yue Buqun, the leader of the Five Mountains, were left out.

"Master! Master!"

Just then, a loud shout came from the direction down the mountain.

A figure ran up from the bottom of the mountain, his face full of ecstasy.

Li Anran was stunned. Why did his seventh junior brother come to Songshan at this time?
"Master!"

Lu Dayou was obviously using his internal energy when he shouted. Although his method was not as powerful as the Shaolin Lion Roar, his advantage was that his voice was loud, and he was able to suppress the voices of thousands of people in an instant.

"I just received news that half a month ago, the eldest senior brother went up to the Black Wood Cliff alone and killed Dongfang Bubai and all the elders and hall masters under him!"

In an instant, it was as if a thunderbolt struck everyone's forehead.

There was an instant of silence inside and outside Chaotian Gate.

Everyone stared at Lu Dayou blankly. The news was so shocking that they could hardly digest it.

"Big...Big Brother?!"

When Lu Dayou ran closer, he noticed Li Anran on the stage, and was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Yue Buqun. This move of Lu Dayou was naturally arranged by Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun waited for Li Anran in Songshan but he didn't see him. Worried that something unexpected might have happened, he asked Lu Dayou to go down the mountain to wait for Li Anran and wrote him a secret letter.

The content of the letter was naturally about Li Anran killing Dongfang Bubai and the elders and hall masters of the Demon Cult.

Yue Buqun instructed Lu Dayou that if he saw Li Anran before noon, he should follow Li Anran upstairs and there was no need to open the secret letter.

If he had not met Li Anran, he would open the secret letter at noon and make the contents of the letter public.

As a result, in order to save time, Li Anran did not take the mountain road, but directly climbed up the cliff using his lightness skills, just missing Lu Dayou.

However, this does not have much impact.

Yue Buqun pretended to hear the news for the first time, and looked at Li Anran in shock and disbelief: "Ran'er, is what Dayou said true?"

The people around also reacted and looked at Li Anran, the real culprit.

"This year is Master's 68th birthday, and it is also a good day for Master to become the leader of the Five Mountains. I wanted to prepare a birthday gift for Master, so I went to Blackwood Cliff."

Li Anran untied the package on his back and opened the box. "This is Dongfang Bubai's head. It is the first birthday gift I prepared for Master."

Li Anran said it lightly, but to others it sounded like a raging storm!
Fang Zheng Chongxu no longer cared about being reserved. Without saying a word, he used his Qing Kung Fu to rush onto the stage and looked into the box.

After practicing the "Sunflower Manual", Dongfang Bubai began to dress like a woman, but his features did not change much.

They only took one look and were sure that this was Dongfang Bubai. They looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
"Master Fangzheng, Taoist Chongxu, is there really Dongfang Bubai's head in this box?" Everyone around shouted impatiently.

Fang Zheng took a deep look at Li Anran and said in a deep voice, "Inside the box is indeed Dongfang Bubai's head."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings became quiet again, and then there was a bustle as lively as a volcanic eruption.

"Dong-Dongfang Bubai was really killed? How is this possible!"

"Could it be that Master Fang Zheng would deceive us again?"

"Didn't you hear? Not only Dongfang Bubai, but also the leader and elders of the Demon Cult were killed by him!"

……

Everyone rushed towards the platform, stood on tiptoe, and stretched their heads out to see what the legendary Dongfang Bubai looked like.

Even Zhen Shanzi, who had been humiliated before, came out of the wooden shed.

This matter is really too important for him to ignore.

In the end, it was Yue Buqun who signaled to Lu Dayou to hold Dongfang Bubai's head high on a tray so that everyone could see it clearly, which calmed them down a little.

Everyone looked at Li Anran with different eyes.

Master Zhang eliminated the demons in the Jiazi year and suppressed the world, clearing out all the evil spirits in the world!
Li Anran is now single-handedly wiping out the Demon Sect. Although he is not as good as Master Zhang, he already has the potential to be as good as Master Zhang!
"Ran'er, you did a great job, very well! The unfinished work of our Five Mountains Sword Alliance's ancestors can now be completed in your hands. This is a blessing for your master and for our Five Mountains Sword Alliance!"

Yue Buqun said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I have something to say. Our Five Mountains Sword Alliance was originally established to fight against the Demon Cult. Now that the Demon Cult is in name only, our Five Mountains Sword Alliance has completed its mission, and it is time to end it."

Everyone was stunned.

They have only seen people fighting for power, but have never seen anyone throw away the power they have gained, let alone throw it away immediately after gaining it!
Mo Da and the others were shocked and shouted, "Senior Brother Yue!"

Yue Buqun raised his hand to signal them to stay calm, and said with a smile: "Even though the Five Mountains Sword Alliance is gone, the bond of solidarity between our Five Mountains Sword Sects will not disappear. It's just that everyone doesn't need to focus on fighting the Demon Sect anymore."

"This is also a little selfish of mine. I can't become the first leader of the Five Mountains Sword Alliance, but being the last leader of the Five Mountains Sword Alliance can also be considered leaving my name in history."

"Besides that, I have one more thing to announce."

"I have devoted all my energy to Huashan's affairs over the years, but my ability is limited and I often feel powerless. I have done my best to persevere until today. Now, it is time to step down and let others take over."

"From now on, Yue will no longer serve as the head of Huashan Sect. My eldest disciple Li Anran will take over as the head of Huashan Sect."
