Chapter 91 coincides with Master Zuo's
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Lao Yue still hasn't returned.
I still remember when I was in Fuzhou, I was punished by being sent back to the mountains to live in seclusion, but after I returned, I didn't mention it at all.
At the summit of Chaoyang Peak, Li Che finished his practice and stood up.
It's been over three months since my last breakthrough in the Purple Cloud Divine Skill, a long time indeed...
Li Che was a little anxious.
Now that things have come to this point, he can hardly predict how the story will unfold.
Autumn is already here, but we still haven't received any news from Hengyang. Should Uncle Liu wash his hands or not?
It would be a real shame to miss such a golden opportunity to make Huashan famous.
It's even more regrettable that they missed the opportunity to give Master Zuo a chance to increase the intensity of the game.
While he was pondering, Li Che had already walked into the courtyard.
Seeing his fellow disciples practicing diligently, Li Che was quite pleased.
Upon arriving at the Hall of Righteousness, Lu Dayou rushed over, saying, "Senior Brother, a letter from Uncle Liu of Hengshan."
Ok?
They just showed up like that?!
The letter was addressed to Brother Yue of Mount Hua.
"Junior Brother Lu, immediately send someone to Qianjin Manor in Chang'an. If Master and Mistress have gone elsewhere, ask Manor Lord Huo to search for them. Tell them... the situation at Mount Hua is urgent, and we hope Master and Mistress will return soon!"
Seeing his solemn expression, Lu Dayou didn't dare to hesitate and quickly turned to leave.
Li Che gripped the letter, pondered for a moment, and murmured, "How should I play this move?"
He walked slowly into the hall, sat down in a chair, and tapped his fingers on the table, pondering whether to use righteousness or evil to harm the enemy.
This Uncle Liu was an upright man, but also a fool and an idiot.
With a knife to his neck, he willingly accepted his fate.
If it were someone like me, Li, the enemy probably wouldn't even have a chance to draw their sword!
However, retiring from the life of a con artist is different from the life of a镖局 (bodyguard agency).
With the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects gathered and heroes from all directions attending, this is the perfect opportunity for Mount Hua to distinguish itself.
Although Huashan, this "broken boat," is still under repair, it's worthwhile to invite guests to join us in advance.
Therefore, it's not advisable to use underhanded tactics... cough, clever schemes.
After a moment's thought, Mr. Li decided to "go with the flow." If the man surnamed Zuo could intimidate others without any evidence, then the man surnamed Li could certainly leverage his influence.
He then chuckled to himself and said, "Treating someone with their own methods, aiming to damage their reputation, won't delay the time to draw my knife."
""
The grudge against the twelve assassins remains etched in my memory to this day...
Meanwhile, on the Shengguan Peak of Mount Song.
"Has Junior Brother Lu's body been found?"
Ding Mian, standing beside him, shook his head, but said doubtfully, "Senior brother, Ning Zhongze of Mount Hua is definitely no match for Junior Brother Lu, and Yue Buqun won't be able to catch up."
Is it possible that those few members of the Sword Sect harbor ulterior motives?
Zuo Lengchan stood with his hands behind his back on the hilltop, his hawk-like eyes gazing northward, and said in a deep voice, "They wouldn't dare! At least Cheng and Cong wouldn't have the guts!"
"With Junior Brother Lu's strength, if he wanted to leave, neither Feng Buping nor the other two could stop him!"
Zuo Lengchan frowned and stared intently. The feeling of the enemy being in the shadows and difficult to control made him quite irritable.
"Who else could it be?"
A chilly night breeze swept by, causing his cloak to billow up to his knees. Zuo Lengchan remained silent for a long time, then slightly opened his narrowed eyes. "We...it seems we've overlooked someone!"
"Who?"
"Li Che, a direct disciple of Mount Hua!"
"Impossible! We have already investigated this person. He is eighteen years old and has only been practicing martial arts at Mount Hua for a little over three years. Even a martial arts prodigy could not become the leader of the Five Mountains Sect in just three years."
Moreover...
""
Seeing his senior brother raise his right palm, Ding Mian quickly stopped talking.
"Junior Brother Ding, you are right. I also think it's impossible."
However, from the moment Zizi appeared in Luoyang, many events coincided with his whereabouts.
Including the matter of the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual!
"Suppose this young man possesses the strength of Yue Buqun, then think about it, wouldn't those ambiguous matters then make sense?"
Ding Mian was silent for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head and said, "Leaving aside other matters, I believe that the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual and Junior Brother Lu were definitely not the work of this boy."
These days, if we trace the origins of these rumors, we'll find that most of them come from unorthodox sources, and the Huashan Sect can't control them.
Furthermore...
""
"This is just my guess."
"Very well, let's put the Huashan matter aside for now. It's just a pity we lost Lu Lianrong; now we've lost a great ally in dealing with the Hengshan Sect."
"Senior brother, could we make contact with Liu Zhengfeng? Could we use the charge of colluding with the demonic sect to force him to submit?"
Zuo Lengchan pondered for a moment, "No! To want to retire from the martial world for such a strange and ingenious skill shows that this person has no ambition whatsoever. Coercion and enticement will not only be ineffective, but will also alert the enemy."
Mo Da, that old fox, is even more cunning than the man surnamed Yue.
The unification of the Five Sacred Mountains is imperative!
However, how to act must vary from person to person.
Since Liu Zhengfeng has set up this platform himself, let's do it fair and square, defeat his reputation and weaken his power.
When the Five Mountains Alliance convenes, that old bastard Mo Da will be powerless to resist, even if he is unwilling!
"Senior Brother Zuo's insight is brilliant, Junior Brother understands!" Ding Mian complimented, then frowned and said, "Hengshan is easy to deal with, and Taishan also has its weaknesses, but those nuns on Beiyue Hengshan are stubborn and self-willed. Senior Brother, how do you think we should deal with them?"
Zuo Lengchan turned around, his voice laced with contempt, and said, "Those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish. If words fail, then let some people shut up. The Five Mountains Sword Sect is as loose as sand; when will it ever rise above Shaolin and Wudang? Since they disregard righteousness, what use are they?!"
Ding Mian bowed and agreed, but then heard Zuo Lengchan ask, "Have Qu Yang of the Demonic Sect and his granddaughter been found?"
Ding Mian looked ashamed and replied, "No, this person appeared in Luoyang a few months ago and has been missing ever since."
"Keep an eye on Liu Zhengfeng's residence. Ha~ How could Bo Ya and Zi Qi resist the elegant pleasure of playing the zither and flute together?"
Ding Mian respectfully replied, "Yes," but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "I hadn't noticed before, but when Qu Yang appeared in Luoyang, Li Che from the Huashan Sect also arrived in Luoyang with the caravan."
"Oh? Do the two of them have any connection?"
"I don't know. I'll send someone to investigate tomorrow."
After a moment's thought, Zuo Lengchan said, "The disciples of Mount Hua colluded with Qu Yang of the Demonic Sect. My men, Di Xiu and Wan Daping, discovered the clues and were tragically killed."
On the day I retire from this life of crime, there will be witnesses to prove it!
"clear!"
"Well, when the time comes, Junior Brother Ding, you should make the trip yourself, bring some good men, deal with Liu Zhengfeng, and also test the strength of the Huashan Sect."
Ding Mian understood perfectly well that this intention was aimed at Li Che of Mount Hua!
Three days later, Lao Yue returned to the mountain, accompanied by Huo Shiyu.
Old Yue rode at breakneck speed, covered in dust, and thought that Feng Buping had once again harbored evil intentions and attacked the Huashan disciples, even suspecting that it was Feng Qingyang's doing.
To his surprise, upon reaching Jade Maiden Peak, he found a peaceful scene, with his disciples diligently practicing their skills, even more so than when he was there.
All affairs within the faction proceeded smoothly and in an orderly manner.
What's the urgent matter?!
"Che'er, what happened?"
"A letter from Hengshan!"
Lao Yue: That's it?
After carefully reading the letter, Yue Buqun's expression changed slightly.
"Senior brother, what happened at Hengshan?"
"Junior Brother Liu Zhengfeng is retiring from the martial world, scheduled for next March. He's invited the Huashan Sect to attend the ceremony. Alas, what a pity."
O
"Senior Brother Liu is in the prime of his life, why has he decided to retire?"
"What else could it be but the five tones and six rhythms! Although Junior Brother Liu's words in his letter were polite, his intention to leave the martial world was very firm."
The Hengshan Sect is only slightly stronger than the Huashan Sect of the past. Their lack of ambition is simply giving the Zuo family an opportunity.
Ning Zhongze secretly regretted it, "I wonder what Senior Brother Mo thinks."
"Everyone in the martial arts world knows that the two brothers are at odds, so how can we stop them? Fine, we'll bring our disciples along and give the Hengshan Sect enough face."
While listening to the two talking, Li Che was mentally calculating the time.
Subtracting the time spent on travel, there are still about six months left.
Perhaps because of the holiday season in between, there was plenty of time.
"Master and Mistress, your disciple wishes to go into seclusion for a period of time."
Yue Buqun was taken aback. "Another period of seclusion?"
