Chapter 41: I have no way to repay your life-saving grace, so I will repay you with my body.
Chapter 41: I have no way to repay your life-saving grace, so I will repay you with my body.
Li Ping laughed and said, "There's nothing you can't say to others, Sect Leader Yue, just speak freely."
Yue Buqun sized up Li Ping and his group. If he spoke directly, wouldn't that be telling everyone that the "Purple Cloud Divine Skill" had been stolen?
Although he had already thoroughly mastered the "Purple Cloud Divine Skill" and could rewrite it at any time, did the Huashan Sect still have any face to save?
However, since Li Ping killed Jiang Yulang, the "Purple Cloud Divine Skill" is very likely in his hands, and these people probably know that...
Yue Buqun gritted his teeth and said, "My traitorous disciple was misled by a villain and let a wolf into the house, which led to my Huashan Zixia Divine Skill being stolen by the villain Jiang Yulang."
"Now that Master Li has killed Jiang Yulang, then..."
Li Ping's face darkened: "Yue Buqun, I saved your daughter and killed your enemy, and you thank me verbally, but then you turn around and ask me for things?"
"Is this an attitude of gratitude?"
"Do I seem too amiable and easy to talk to?"
Clang...
Ren Yingying drew her sword, and Lan Fenghuang was immediately covered with various poisonous insects, baring their fangs and claws at the Huashan group. The sedan chair bearers of the Sun Moon Sect also glared fiercely at the person in front of them.
Yue Buqun and his wife felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. It seemed that no matter whether the "Zixia Divine Skill" had fallen into Li Ping's hands or not, it would not be so easy to get it back.
Li Ping's martial arts skills are both divine and demonic, even capable of killing Dongfang Bubai, so he must have some hidden trump cards that others don't know about...
If a fight really breaks out, my husband and I are afraid we won't be able to handle it.
Moreover, Ning Zhongze thought, "This person just saved my daughter. If I attack them, wouldn't that be ungrateful?"
Of course, we need to find the "Purple Cloud Divine Skill," but this...
The atmosphere on the scene was tense, and a battle was about to break out.
Just then, Yue Lingshan woke up with a soft "hmm," as Ning Zhongze helped her by pressing her acupoints, finally releasing her pressure points.
Ren Yingying couldn't solve it, but Ning Zhongze could; the Huashan Sect still has some tricks up its sleeve.
Yue Lingshan felt herself being embraced. She was startled at first, but when she saw that it was her mother, she breathed a sigh of relief, tears welling up in her eyes: "Mother, did you save me? Where is that villain?"
Ning Zhongze said, "It wasn't me who saved you, it was Hero Li who saved you."
At this moment, Yue Lingshan also saw Li Ping sitting in the sedan chair. Before, she didn't know why she disliked Li Ping, but now that she saw Li Ping, her heart was pounding like a deer.
She immediately bowed and said, "Thank you so much, Hero Li, for saving my life..."
She paused here, then stammered, "This humble woman owes Master Li a life. If Master Li ever asks for anything in the future, I will not dare to refuse, even if it means going through mountains of knives and volcanoes."
Seeing the girl trying so hard to act like a seasoned veteran, Li Ping smiled slightly: "I've heard that if you save a female knight-errant in the martial arts world..."
"If you are good-looking, the heroine will say, 'I have nothing to repay you with but my body.' If you are ugly, the heroine will say, 'I will repay you in the next life.'"
"So, does that mean I'm good-looking or not?"
Upon hearing this, the little girl's heart pounded even harder, and her pretty face flushed bright red.
She almost blurted out "I'll repay you with my body," but seeing so many people around her and thinking about the two beautiful older women with Li Ping, she felt a little discouraged.
I just remembered some rumors circulating in the martial arts world, and I started to imitate their ways.
Ren Yingying blinked. "Master Li doesn't seem honest. He's so good at teasing young girls."
I heard he has two beautiful women by his side; he must be a master of womanizing!
Hmph, this daughter of the Huashan Sect Leader is clearly only average-looking...
Lan Fenghuang was somewhat discouraged. It seemed that Master Li wasn't just kind to her; he was kind to everyone he saw who was pretty...
What a dashing figure!
This finally eased the tense atmosphere that had been building up.
Yue Buqun clasped his hands and said, "Hero Li, I was presumptuous just now and misspoke. Please forgive me."
He realized that if the "Purple Cloud Divine Skill" fell into Li Ping's hands, there was no way he could snatch it away. If he tried to forcibly take it now, the Huashan Sect would probably be wiped out.
Therefore, there is only one way: to turn Li Ping into one of our own.
How do we turn them into our own people?
It seems that Li Ping has a good impression of Ling Shan. If he becomes his son-in-law, wouldn't the Zixia Divine Skill return to Mount Hua?
Not only has the "Purple Cloud Divine Skill" returned, but the "Evil-Repelling Sword Technique" has also arrived.
Although Li Ping has two other women by his side, my Ling Shan is no less beautiful. At worst, she can be my concubine.
Although being a concubine is shameful, Li Ping killed Dongfang Bubai, making him the greatest in the world. Therefore, being the concubine of the greatest in the world is not shameful.
In the original timeline, Lao Yue was willing to use his daughter to create the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique; now he's even more willing to do so.
Seeing the way Yue Lingshan and Li Ping were talking, Linghu Chong felt a pang of sadness. How did things turn out like this?
Then, realizing that he was the culprit behind all of this, he said, "Since Junior Sister is safe and sound, Linghu Chong has committed a grave crime this time and has no face to live on..."
After saying that, he was about to draw his sword and commit suicide...
when……
His longsword flew out, but Ning Zhongze knocked it away, angrily saying, "A true man should stand tall and be indomitable, how can you act like you're going to die at the first sign of trouble?"
"How can one survive in the world without experiencing some hardships?"
"Chong'er, you're usually so unruly, associating with all sorts of shady characters, and you never listen to me..."
"This is a lesson learned, and we should take it as a warning!"
Linghu Chong stood there, stunned, a warm feeling lingering in his heart.
Yue Buqun snorted coldly and didn't say anything more. After all, this was the boy he had raised and the next generation leader he had nurtured with all his heart and soul. He would be reluctant to kill him because of this.
Not worth it!
Li Ping shook his head. Compared to Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze was much more magnanimous and bold, which perfectly matched his image of a chivalrous woman.
It's a pity that I entrusted the wrong person!
Li Ping said, "Since we've run into each other, let's go back to Hengshan together. By the way, what exactly happened?"
Linghu Chong said bitterly, "When I was traveling in the martial world before, Jiang Yulang saved my life."
"He was a man of great literary talent and superb martial arts skills. He said he had always admired his master's demeanor, so I introduced him to my master."
"Who would have thought he would be so heartless as to launch a sneak attack on Master? Fortunately, Master's martial arts skills are superb, and he failed..."
Yue Buqun was always wary of Jiang Yulang, suspecting he was Zuo Lengchan's man, which is why he didn't fall for the trap. However, the "Purple Cloud Divine Skill" was still stolen in the same way, and Yue Lingshan was even taken hostage during the escape...
However, no one knows why Jiang Yulang did this, since the "Purple Cloud Divine Skill" could not possibly have been his original goal.
Now, I'm afraid no one can answer this question.
……
Hengyang City.
Even though Li Ping is "immortal," Huang Rong and her companion were still very worried and uneasy when Li Ping went to hunt down Dongfang Bubai.
Just then, someone from the Liu family came to invite them, saying that Liu Zhengfeng wanted to retire from the martial arts world and hoped that the two female knights would participate. Since they had nothing else to do, the two accepted the invitation.
Everything was normal until Liu Zhengfeng decided to retire from the martial arts world. The Songshan Sect intervened, accusing him of colluding with Qu Yang, an elder of the Demonic Sect, and threatened him with the lives of his family.
Originally, Huang Rong and Su Ying didn't want to get involved, since they were just there to watch the excitement; this was an internal matter of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.
But this is really going too far!
Although Huang Rong is the daughter of the Eastern Heretic and Su Ying comes from the darkest rat hole, both of them have a kind heart.
Huang Rong intervened and saved Liu Zhengfeng's daughter.
Fei Bin, the master of the Songyang style, said, "Miss Huang, you and Master Li fought against Dongfang Bubai before. Your martial arts were superb. You are a role model for the righteous path. I admire you the most."
"But this is an internal matter of our Five Mountains Sword Sect, please do not interfere!"
Huang Rong said, "What's this talk of righteousness and wickedness! I heard you say before that the Demonic Sect is cruel, commits countless evils, and indiscriminately kills innocent people. How is your behavior any different from that of the Demonic Sect?"
Fei Bin argued vehemently: "Liu Zhengfeng colluded with the evil cult, so how could his wife and children be exempt? Since they colluded with members of the evil cult, everyone has the right to kill them..."
"If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext!" Huang Rong laughed angrily, and was about to speak.
At this moment, a voice rang out: "I've been puzzled by this question before, and I still want to ask: what exactly is the demonic path, and what is the righteous path?"
Everyone was taken aback and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a sedan chair appear on the roof, which was Dongfang Bubai's vehicle.
Everyone was shocked. Dongfang Bubai had returned?
Huang Rong and her companion were overjoyed, for they recognized Li Ping's voice.
Does Li Ping returning in Dongfang Bubai's sedan chair mean he won?!
He actually won!
