Sword from Hengshan

Chapter 123: Eliminating Poison in the Jianghu (8.313k)
Zuo Lengchan stood behind the pillar platform and the eaves with his hands behind his back, a slight smile on his face.

"Yes, Master!"

A tall man stepped out from the group of Songshan disciples, bowed to Zuo Lengchan, and then faced Zhao Rong.

Mr. Mo Da, feeling uneasy, heard Taoist Tianmen laugh and said:

"Junior Brother Shi is strong in his internal strength. Although Junior Brother Zhao is proficient in his moves, he has already fought twice. It may be difficult for him to defeat Junior Brother Shi."

"Does Mr. Mo Da have confidence?"

Mo Da's face was slightly arrogant, and he responded somewhat unconvincedly, "Brother Tianmen, the practice of our sect's internal skills requires abandoning distracting thoughts and focusing on the state of mind. My disciple is a happy and quiet person."

"Even if my internal strength is not as good as that of Junior Brother Shi at the moment, I will definitely be able to catch up in ten or eight years."

Taoist Tianmen found it funny, 'You kept silent during previous alliance meetings, but now you are even more arrogant than me.'

"If we have to drag this sword fight on for ten or eight years, there is no way we can protect it like this."

Then I heard Mr. Mo Da say:
"As for moves, my disciple is not slow in learning the Huifeng Luoyan sword. In addition, he has fought many battles with the evil sect thieves in Hengzhou Prefecture, so his attacking and killing aura is no less than that of Junior Brother Shi."

"Just now, I was fighting with the two nephews Yi Weng and used a lot of strength. I kept using the sword quickly, which consumed a lot of energy. At this moment, his blood and energy are churning, and it is difficult for him to use his full strength. If nephew Shi can infuse his internal energy to perform the Songshan sword technique."

"If he could have even a bit of Brother Zuo's majestic and profound aura, my disciple would definitely be defeated."

After Mo Da finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders. Master Ding Xian, the old abbot, and the old Taoist priest couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

They all turned their eyes to Alliance Leader Zuo.

Taoist Tianmen was dissatisfied and blushed: "Okay, okay, we haven't even started to draw our swords yet, and you're already making excuses for Junior Brother Zhao."

Lady Ning smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zuo, Mr. Mo Da is dissatisfied with Master Lunzhan."

Zuo Lengchan laughed.

As the host of this place, Alliance Leader Zuo took the opportunity to say something like "don't fight with internal force" to make the head of the family seem dignified and generous.

However, he did not buy into what they said.

"The world is extremely dangerous and unpredictable."

"The few against the many, the weak against the strong, happen all the time. The younger generation of the Five Mountains Sword Sects debate with each other, and although they stop at a certain point, they cannot get rid of the chivalrous spirit, otherwise it will just become a variety show of swordplay, right?"

Zuo Lengchan instead loudly instructed:
"Denda, you should try your best so that all the seniors can see the talent of nephew Zhao."

"If Junior-Martial-Nephew Zhao can still defeat you at this time, that would be a great story in the alliance."

"Yes~!"

Stendar on the other side responded loudly with a strong and confident voice.

Tianmen Taoist had an expression that said, "As expected."

Ning Zhongze, Sect Leader Yue, and Mr. Mo Da all had their eyelids twitching slightly.

Only Leader Zuo can speak shamelessly in such a refreshing and refined way.

Mr. Mo Da turned his head slightly, and had already cursed Zuo Lengchan in his heart.

"Junior Brother Zhao, please!"

Shi Tenda stood with a sword in his hand, his eyes shining brightly.

He was quite tall, and cast a slanting shadow on the ground, which made him look even more like a "Thousand-foot Pine Tree".

Among the young disciples of Songshan, Shi Dengda is the most powerful among his peers.

The blade of his sword was slightly wide, but it converged into a point of light at the tip, and was extremely sharp.

"Brother Shi, please give me some advice."

Zhao Rong also held his sword and bowed.

When he lowered his head slightly, the gleam in his eyes disappeared.

"Master has reminded me that it is impossible to defeat the enemy with the basic Hengshan moves. I should use the Thirty-Six Moves of the Returning Wind and Falling Wild Goose Sword."

"But you can't admit defeat hastily, otherwise it will appear that you are forbearing, which will make Zuo Lengchan even more afraid of you."

'If you win, it's because of your moves. If you lose, it's also because of your moves.'

"Shidenda is still pursuing his brother. I have a grudge against him, so he will definitely do everything he can. This battle will be the most dangerous."

His mind raced, Zhao Rong suppressed the eighteen steps he had learned from Weng Dazhang, and together with Shi Dengda, he climbed up the sword-discussing stone platform under the alliance stone pillar.

The disciples from all five sects gathered their concentration.

it has started!

"Watch the sword moves!"

Shi Tenda shouted loudly and attacked almost at the same time as Zhao Rong.

He naturally followed the instructions of Alliance Leader Zuo and poured his internal energy into the sword.

The so-called Golden Pot Tiger Head and Junji Three Cranes, among the eight sword techniques derived from the thirty-six peaks of Taishi Mountain, the Junji sword technique is the most domineering.

Climbing to this peak and leaning against the rocks to look down, you can see peaks and valleys opening up at your feet, with jagged peaks and valleys of varying heights.

The sword moves in his hands were sharp and decisive, and the momentum was awe-inspiring!

The first move was the Eternal Human Dragon, without any reservation.

When the people around saw Zhao Rong raising his sword to resist, they intercepted the sword and were immediately forced back three steps by Shi Tendada.

He raised his sword to block the attack, but Stendar pressed him down and lowered his body. Then he used his Qinggong to do a backward flip in the air.
Narrowly avoiding the sword!

Just from these two moves, one can tell the difference in internal strength between the two sides.

Disciples from Taishan, Huashan, Hengshan and others all showed strange expressions.

Many people are complaining:

"Master Hengshan has already been through two battles, and now Shi Dengda is coming up and using his sword with his Qi, filled with murderous intent. This is too bullying."

The eldest sister Yihe of Hengshan has a very bad temper. When others are grumbling in their hearts, she speaks directly:
"I should have admitted defeat to Junior Brother Zhao earlier, so that he wouldn't be bullied by someone else using his internal strength."

The Songshan disciple looked over with dissatisfaction, then turned his gaze back to the field. Yiqing at the side pulled her.

Yihe stopped talking and was attracted by the two people fighting on the field.

Shi Dengda, the ancient human dragon, used his last strength.
He turned around and slashed horizontally in half horse stance, and this momentum was so fierce that it could cut the jade pillar in half if one was not careful!

Zhao Rong crouched down and attacked from the lower body!

Stendar jumped and swept down,
Zhao Rong intercepted the attack with his sword and used all his strength to kick his Zhangmen acupoint!

"Bang~!"

This was an on-the-spot strategy of a skilled fighter. Stenda hastily raised his knee, but he was unable to arrive first and was kicked by Zhao Rong on the flank with his knee.

It's a pity that my strength was not enough and I failed to kick him over, otherwise I would have won.

Stendar was furious.
Yujing Tianchi!

This move is even more powerful.

He stabbed in front of him, turned around and hung the sword, and the sword light whizzed past, trying to lock Zhao Rong who had been dodging.

The iron ox plowed the land, and the ox stepped down to cut the ground, making a sudden sound that shook the land like the wind!
Zhao Rong retreated again, Shi Tengda shouted again, chasing the sword like a pigeon flying through the clouds, leaping forward and piercing through.

He was filled with rage and chased him more quickly. He stabbed the air with his sword and immediately used the momentum of King Wu testing the sword. He hung his feet on the river bank, chopped with the sword with one step, stepped forward and stabbed back, like an eagle flying up to Mount Song!
Zhao Rong has used the Huifeng Luoyan sword to its 'extreme', and with his agility, he was able to dodge while performing surprising moves and counterattacking with the sword in his hand, fully displaying the essence of the Hengshan sword technique.

The two of them fought with swords, which was very exciting!
Mr. Mo Da stroked his beard and nodded in the distance, and cheers came from all around.

After all, Shi Dengda did not learn the skills of Alliance Leader Zuo. He was unable to use the majestic sword power of Songshan to lock the wild geese of Hengshan. Instead, he made them cry on the peaks of Songshan.

Zhao Rong had used the Huifeng Luoyan sword twice, parried several times, and fought with Shi Dengda for more than a hundred moves.

He was out of breath.

Zhao Rong was not pretending. Fighting with Shi Dengda was many times more tiring than fighting with Taibao.

The true Qi in the body is not flowing smoothly, like a stream of water, which is intermittent and upside down.

It is not easy to hide one's strength, especially in front of a group of underworld bosses.

The disciples of the Five Mountains sects watched with great interest.

After seeing Zhao Rong's exquisite Huifeng Luoyan sword technique, Alliance Leader Zuo felt that it was not as refined as his entry-level sword technique.

Just continue to stare at Zhao Rong.

Shi Dengda swept his sword again in the field. Zhao Rong lowered his body and held the sword on his wrist. If he suddenly exerted force, he would surely sweep Shi Dengda's sword away. But at this time he had to pretend to be extremely strenuous, which made him sweat on his back.

Stendar was also sweating on his back.

"This guy is fighting me for the third time. If I can't defeat him, won't I lose face?"

"You can only jump up and down, take it head on!"

His eyes were filled with anger as he felt the force of Zhao Rong's sword. With an idea in his mind, he suddenly changed the sword's tip and pressed it down hard!
"Ah~!"

There were exclamations all around!

"Senior Brother Zhao!" Xiang Danian, Li Weijin and other Hengshan disciples shouted in panic!
however,
Shi Tenda had already changed his move and was about to rip Zhao Rong open through the chest.

The young man under the sword showed his bravery when fighting against the demon cult!

He twisted his waist, stepped sideways and followed, his arms swung, the long sword made a "clang" sound, and the force penetrated the tip of the sword, stabbing towards Shi Tenda!
He kept his strength in his feet, gathering power and tense himself, waiting to release.

Pretending to die together with Stendar!
"Brother Shi!!"

All the disciples of Songshan are shouting!

Shi Dengda didn't expect that Zhao Rong would fight to the death. He was horrified when he saw this. He was afraid when he tried to use sword skills first, and the Senluo sword force of the Songshan School disappeared immediately.

He turned his body to avoid the vital points, and the sword turned with his body, naturally allowing Zhao Rong to avoid the vital points as well.

“Sizzle, sizzle~!”

Two sharp sounds were heard!
The sleeves of Zhao Rong's shirt were cut under his armpits, and Shi Tengda's shirt was pierced between his waist and abdomen.

The two men were stunned for a moment, then stopped fighting with their swords.

Shi Dengda's face changed, his eyes flickered: "Junior Brother Zhao, why are you fighting so hard?"

Zhao Rong hurriedly bowed, his face sad, and raised his voice to let the people around him hear clearly:
"I have had several life-and-death battles with the evil cultists in Hengzhou Prefecture, and I was lucky enough to kill the enemy even though I was injured."

"Just now, Senior Brother raised his sword and slashed at me. I suddenly remembered the scene at that time."

"I thought that since I was going to die anyway, I might as well risk my life to exchange for a cult thief so that I could protect the prosperity of my righteous path."

"I woke up with a start, and then I remembered to discuss swordplay!"

"Brother Shi, I really offended you a lot," Zhao Rong sighed again, "If you hadn't put away your sword in time, I would have been in great trouble."

Upon hearing this, the Five Mountains disciples all sighed.

I didn’t expect that Senior Brother Hengshan had such a mental journey.

The fight between the Hengshan Sect and the Southern Demon Sect was also extremely brutal.

Shi Dengda felt both hateful and regretful. "If I had not sought a quick victory and continued to fight him, I would have been able to defeat him in another fifty moves."

"This is really embarrassing for Master."

His heart was in turmoil, and Zuo Lengchan in the distance couldn't help but look at Zhao Rong again.

Even if the moves were a little more sharp, Zuo Lengchan would still find it hard to be at ease.

only.
Stenda's final change of move did not lead to the chop, but it felt like something stuck in his throat, making it difficult for him to move freely for a moment, as if he had something else on his mind.

A flash of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he turned around and smiled to Mo Da and asked tentatively, "Mr. Mo Da, Junior Brother Zhao risked his life to fight, but on the sword arena, it is important to stop at the right time. With such a trick, who do you think will win?"

"Of course my disciple won," Mr. Mo Da said firmly, "Hengshan swordsmanship is all about winning by surprise. The more tricks he uses, the more it conforms to the essence of our school."

"Songshan swordsmanship is magnificent and ruthless. How can I defeat Junior Brother Shi without using tricks?"

"Senior Brother Zuo also said that the martial arts world is dangerous and we cannot get rid of the martial arts spirit. Where in the martial arts world is there no fighting and bloodshed?"

Mr. Mo Da returned the words to him.

"Okay!" Zuo Lengchan laughed and shouted, "Mr. Mo Da is right, so let's call it a draw."

"Leader Zuo, the swordsmanship is determined by who is better, there will always be a winner," Mr. Mo Da did not give in, and seemed to value his reputation very much. He turned to Fang Zheng and Chong Xu and said, "Master Fang Zheng and Taoist Chong Xu are here, so let the two masters judge the winner."

Shaolin and Wudang had just been tricked by Alliance Leader Zuo, so how could they side with the Songshan School?

Zuo Lengchan didn't care and looked at the Shaolin abbot with a smile.

He doesn't seem to care whether Stendar wins or loses.

Master Fang Zheng smiled kindly, "If you ask me, at this time, Young Master Zhao should have won."

The leaders followed his words and looked at the place where Stenda's clothes were pierced.

It is exactly the outside of the "Qi Hai Acupoint"!
How could the leaders of various sects not understand the methods of hitting the vital points?

At this time, according to the prescription and symptoms, the time is close to the Shen time, which is when qi and blood are injected into this point.

As the saying goes: At the Shen hour, the Qi Hai acupoint is attacked, the kidneys are severely damaged and the blood and Qi are blocked.

It only takes a stream of true energy to flow into the fatal point. If it is not dissolved, it will be very easy to take a person's life.

With Master Fang Zheng saying this, it means Zhao Rong wins.

Upon hearing this, Shi Dengda was obviously not convinced and bowed towards Zhao Rong.

His face was grim and he left the stage without saying a word.

Zhao Rong thought to himself, "The thousand-foot pine tree has become a hundred-foot pine tree. After all, it can't learn the courage of Alliance Leader Zuo."

"Why hasn't Junior Brother Linghu of the Huashan Sect come down yet?"

Fei Bin's voice came from among the group of guards. He and Le Hou almost died in Hengzhou Prefecture, and he was full of malice towards the Hengshan School.

Seeing that Zhao Rong had won three battles in a row, he naturally wanted to intervene and cause trouble.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rong looked at Linghu Chong.

"It's just right that Brother Linghu comes up, so I can pass on the pot and the fruits of victory to him."

Among the group of Huashan disciples, Linghu Chong took three steps forward, and the disciples from all factions looked at him.

At the last Five Mountains Alliance meeting, he was the number one of the younger generation.

Linghu Chong bowed to all the sect leaders and said loudly:

"Master always teaches his disciples that taking advantage of others' misfortunes is not a gentleman's behavior. Junior Brother Zhao has fought three rounds in a row and is almost exhausted. I, of course, cannot compete with him."

"Besides."

Linghu Chong smiled calmly and said, "I have fought with Junior Brother Zhao in private before, and I lost half of the move. How can I have the nerve to fight again now?"

After saying that, he bowed to Zhao Rong.

Zhao Rong was slightly stunned, as he was blocked by this statement.

At this moment, I can only bow in return.

He then walked down the sword-discussing stage, on guard against the arrival of other uncles or senior brothers to give him instructions.

but,

The title of the best of the younger generation of the Five Mountains Sword Sect has been firmly carried on his shoulders.

There was much discussion among the disciples around.

Mr. Mo Da on the other side looked at Zhao Rong with a look of relief in his eyes.

Taoist Tianmen blushed and stood a few steps away from Mo Da.

Linghu Chong glanced in the direction of his master and found that Sect Leader Yue nodded slightly at him, which made him feel relieved.

Zuo Lengchan smiled at Yue Buqun and said:
"Brother Yue, Junior Brother Linghu is quite a gentleman."

Yue Buqun smiled but said nothing. Lady Ning did not like Zuo Lengchan's sarcasm. "Chong'er has been following his master all his life, so he is naturally influenced by him."

After she finished speaking, she looked in the direction of Stenda.

"What a great example of being influenced by what one sees and hears, wonderful!" Zuo Lengchan looked towards the direction of Mount Shaoshi, turned around and said to Master Fang Zheng with a smile, "I, Zuo, was also influenced by what one sees and hears on Mount Taishi, which enabled me to gather the righteousness to slay demons and defend the Way."

The old monk and the old Taoist priest both laughed. They were the ones who were most reluctant to discuss these things with Zuo Lengchan.

Afterwards, there was a fight on the sword-fighting arena.

Linghu Chong then defeated Zuo Lengchan's second disciple Di Xiu, and Lao Denuo also won a match for the Huashan Sect, defeating a Taishan disciple.

The leaders of each sect looked at it for a while and then walked away.

To them, the disciples' discussion of Wudang was just a small matter.

No matter who is the best young disciple, it is hard for them to worry about him.

The sword discussion among the Five Mountains disciples ended, and Zhao Rong could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Linghu Chong led the Huashan disciples to visit the small courtyard in Hengshan.

"In previous years, I could occasionally see Master and his men take action. This time, we have to save some energy to deal with the Demon Sect."

Linghu Chong felt a little regretful.

Before Zhao Rong could reply, Lao Denuo, who was standing by, curiously asked, "Big Brother, when you fought against Brother Zhao, which move did you lose?"

"Hahaha" Suddenly, Zhao Rong laughed and said to Lao Denuo: "Brother Linghu lost a move, who said it was half a move."

Linghu Chong, who knew the whole story, thought to himself.

"Junior Brother Zhao is really cautious, and he was very careful when talking to Second Junior Brother. Junior Brother is very knowledgeable, but I have never fought with Junior Brother Zhao before, so it would be difficult for Linghu Chong to come up with a few tricks in a flash."

He then remembered that he had promised to keep it secret for Zhao Rong, and said in his heart, "I'm sorry, Junior Brother."

He immediately smiled and explained to him, "Junior Brother Zhao cheated and stabbed my wine gourd. He won this half move, but I don't recognize it."

The two smiled at each other and got away with it.

Nan Shanshi nodded secretly, thinking, "This is probably true. Linghu Chong can't possibly be on guard against me."

Lao Denuo looked at Zhao Rong's reaction and thought, "This is probably true. Zhao Rong can't be on guard against me."

In the evening, the sky is full of bright rays of light.

The Koelreuteria trees in the small courtyard of Hengshan are covered with a layer of rosy-colored clothes, which seems to inject vitality into the yellow leaves.

There are several small tables under the trees, with food on bamboo plates.

For example, there is the baogao made from buckwheat flour, and the noodle which tastes similar to the baogao.

There are beard cakes, which are made by frying red hawthorn fruits from Songshan Mountain and adding sugar. The hawthorn skin looks like a beard on the outside.

There are also some sugar balls, which are also simple to make. Crush the dried apricots from Songshan Mountain, mix them with the dregs of brown sugar, and roll them into balls.

Linghu Chong talked with Zhao Rong, and most of the topics they talked about were related to Hengzhou Prefecture.

Yue Lingshan sat next to Linghu Chong, occasionally taking a candy ball to eat, while Nan Shanshi and Lao Denuo both pricked up their ears.

Lu Dayou stared at Zhao Rong, curious and admiring.

Hearing him talk about the Hengshan Sect's experiences in Hengzhou Prefecture, it was indeed more difficult and tragic than their experiences on Mount Hua.

"Senior Brother Zhao is younger, but he has experienced many life-and-death battles. It is not unfair for Senior Brother to lose half a move."

"Alas, Senior Brother should also practice hard."

So he deliberately interrupted and said:
"Senior Brother Zhao is extremely talented, but there is one aspect in which he cannot compare to our Senior Brother Huashan."

"Drinking?" Xiang Danian asked.

"No," Lu Dayou said, "Catch fireflies."

"Lu Houer, what are you talking about?" Yue Lingshan glared at him.

"Catching fireflies?" Zhao Rong muttered, and suddenly touched his chin, "Does Brother Linghu have many romantic relationships?"

"What's the logic behind this?" Everyone looked confused.

"In the land of Xiaoxiang, young knights and knights-errant of marriageable age will catch fireflies and give them to their lovers."

Linghu Chong was anxious, "Is there such a thing?"

"Of course," Zhao Rong said seriously, "Fireflies flash at night, don't they look like stars in the sky?"

"Yes." Everyone nodded.

Zhao Rong added, "Then the flying stars must be shooting stars. Shooting stars carry people's good wishes. The young knights and heroines send their wishes to the people they love. Isn't that love?"

He chanted again: "I have been wandering around for a long time, fireflies fly into the window. The northwest wind blows my slender waist, the southeast moon rises and floats my delicate hands."

Lu Dayou said "oh" and suddenly saw Linghu Chong waving his hand towards Zhao Rong.

"Hey, why are Senior Brother's hands moving back and forth?"

Zhao Rong said harmlessly, "It must be that your senior brother has thought of a wonderful relationship."

Yue Lingshan, who was standing by, blushed and stopped Zhao Rong from continuing the topic. She hurriedly said:

"I heard from Senior Brother Xiang that Senior Brother Zhao loves music and is knowledgeable. How about I ask you a lantern riddle?"

Zhao Rong nodded.

Yue Lingshan looked at Lu Dayou and Linghu Chong, and asked Zhao Rong:
"There's a puppy on the left and a fool on the right. What kind of word is this?"

"The word 'Hu' in Brother Linghu's name." Zhao Rong answered immediately, but looked at Linghu Chong on the right and Yue Lingshan on the left.

Yue Lingshan waved her hands and said with a smile, "Brother Zhao, don't look at me. Look at my senior brother with your left eye and look at Lu Houer with your right eye. Only then can you solve the riddle."

Linghu Chong laughed loudly, while Lu Houer on the side looked depressed and muttered, "You are the fool."

The disciples of the two factions played together without any barriers between them.

They had dinner together in the evening, and the dishes included donkey meat.

Just as Yue Lingshan was saying that the food was delicious, Lu Houer said:

"I don't know whether it's true or not."

"For example, in Yangcheng, there are people selling horse jerky on the street. They set up stalls in the busy market. I heard that a lot of it is the meat of horses that died of disease. There are even more outrageous ones. The stall owner who sells cooked beef actually uses the meat of dead camels."

Yue Lingshan said angrily, "Lu Hou'er, why are you saying these things while eating? Look, you've ruined the appetites of Senior Brother and Senior Brother Zhao."

Zhao Rong smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not surprising that the donkey meat is fake."

He said this but kept eating.

Are you kidding? How dare a butcher cheat Master Zuo?
Every time you eat a piece of Songshan meat, you earn money.

After the meal, Zhao Rong talked with them about music again. Many Hengshan disciples expressed their opinions and the atmosphere was very heated. However, Lao Denuo, who was originally very interested, felt drowsy.

Shen Bo and Chai Jinshi took out their suonas.

If they were not on Mount Song at this moment, they would definitely play a song.

……

The hour of Hai is deep.

In Zuo Lengchan's training room, Lu Bai used his Qinggong skills to take Nan Shanshi away, who had not yet relaxed.

Then, a second person came.

"Master," the one who called Zuo Lengchan "Master" was naturally Lao Denuo, who was Zuo Lengchan's third disciple.

"Deno, thank you for your hard work."

Lao Denuo was somewhat moved. "My disciple has not made any progress, so why should I talk about his hard work?"

"Did Yue Buqun doubt you?"

"No."

"Yeah, but be careful."

Lao Denuo said: "Disciple, please be very careful. It's late tonight. My junior brother in the same room has fallen into a deep sleep because of the smoke I blew. Yue Buqun's room is at the back of the courtyard, so he won't notice me coming out."

"It's fine at the moment. Your Uncle Ding is watching over there. He will be aware of any unusual movements."

Only then did Lao Denuo feel relieved and reported some situations of Huashan Sect and Hengshan Sect in person.

Seeing that Zuo Lengchan had been listening without any response, Lao Denuo could not help but feel confused:
"Master, don't you care about Zhao Rong from the Hengshan School? His talent is much greater than Linghu Chong's. Although he is good at music, he also likes to practice swordsmanship."

"Hengshan disciples practice swordplay very hard. I see that they all have solid basic skills."

The flesh on Zuo Lengchan's face stood up, revealing a domineering smile, "If I always focus on these young people and look left and right, how can I achieve great things?"

"If this old fox Mo Da was ten years younger, I would care about him more."

"When you have an outstanding disciple, you want to wait for your old horse to rest in the stable, but it's too late."

Laudeno hesitated to speak.

Zuo Lengchan saw through it and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Lao Denuo looked fierce and said, "Master should kill Zhao Rong."

"Oh?"

"It's not because of Hengshan, but Huashan. Master is on guard against Yue Buqun, so that disciple will make Yue Buqun unable to handle the situation alone. His disciples are stubborn, and if I can lure them a little, it will be difficult for them to become useful."

"But since Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze met Zhao Rong, they have felt pressure from the Hengshan Sect and have urged their disciples even more."

"It is better to kill Zhao Rong to prevent future troubles."

Zuo Lengchan nodded: "Denuo does have a different point of view."

"In that case, it is up to you to get rid of Zhao Rong."

"Me~~?"

Lao Denuo was a little surprised and didn't know why his master made such arrangements.

Thinking of Zhao Rong's swordsmanship, there would be no 100% chance of success unless he launched a sneak attack.

But all the Hengshan disciples and Mo Da were there, so how could he have that ability?

"When the people from Shaolin and Wudang arrive at Songshan, I will take action against the Demon Sect. This matter is of great importance. The Hengshan Sect and Huashan Sect have not sent many people. If it goes as I expected, they will act together and take care of each other."

"You are caught in the middle, and leave messages along the way."

"If the people from the Demon Cult are attracted here, you should protect yourself."

Zuo Lengchan's face was full of sinisterness. "This time, I will not only use the Demon Sect to weaken the power of the four sects, but also involve Wudang and Shaolin in the dispute."

"They can be the leaders of the righteous path, but I want to be the leader of the martial arts world."

"Master, your great cause will be accomplished!" Lao Denuo stepped forward and bowed, his heart boiling with excitement.

Then Zuo Lengchan said, "Nan Shanshi of the Hengshan Sect is my man, but he is a disciple of Lu Lianrong. How could that old fox Mo Da not be on guard?"

"Nan Shanshi doesn't know you exist."

"Deno, this is the scapegoat I found for you."

"Save your life. I will entrust you with important tasks in the future."

"Master!" Laodenuo shouted excitedly again, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Go."

"Yes!"

Not long after Lao Denuo left, footsteps were heard outside Zuo Lengchan's training room, and a third person came.

"Leader Zuo," the visitor bowed respectfully.

Zuo Lengchan said, "Sit down."

The man sat down upon hearing the sound.

"Has the relationship between Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng eased?"

"No, Mr. Mo Da, Liu Zhengfeng, and Lu Lianrong are still at odds. Liu Zhengfeng, like before, never shows up at the mountain gate. The last time the two guards came to Hengzhou Prefecture, they just happened to catch up with the Demon Cult heading south."

"The survival of the Hengshan sect depends on it. Mr. Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng have no choice but to join forces."

Zuo Lengchan nodded, "I already know about this."

"Why did Mo Da suddenly change? Is it really because of Zhao Rong?"

The man said, "The three branches of the Hengshan Sect are not in harmony, so Mr. Mo Da wants to have a successor to continue the Hengshan Sect. Looking at the entire sect, only Zhao Rong has the chance to inherit his legacy and learn the swordsmanship."

"That's not surprising."

"This kid has a very solid foundation and is still young. Even I have a liking for his talent," Zuo Lengchan said. "Given time, he can cultivate his internal strength and has a chance to master the essence of Hengshan swordsmanship."

"It's a pity that the end of Hengshan Sect can be seen at a glance."

"It would be a waste of materials if it were in Mo Da's hands."

The man was surprised and asked, "Leader Zuo also wants to accept a disciple?"

Zuo Lengchan snorted and laughed: "Mo Da is about to die, how can I put my mind on a young man. If I have the ability, I will wait until he lives to the time when the Five Mountains are united."

"You should send less messages and keep them hidden."

"Elder Qu Yang of the Demon Cult disappeared when he arrived at Hengzhou Prefecture. You should keep a close eye on this matter. I suspect it has something to do with Liu Zhengfeng. In the whole of Hengyang, he is the only one who is obsessed with music and has great courage."

"Yes."

……

On the afternoon of the eighth day after the Five Mountains Alliance Meeting.

Zhao Rong was meditating and practicing in the house. He had been thinking a lot these days.

His mind was filled with thoughts of the Eighteen Bends of Mount Tai, the sword circle of Mount Heng, etc. He really wanted to dance with the sword, but he had to do it right under Zuo Lengchan's nose.

I don’t know which bodyguard came three times yesterday, but Zhao Rongquan treated him as air.

After practicing for two weeks, when Ling Zhaoheng came running over, Zhao Rong had already finished the practice.

"Brother, people from Shaolin and Wudang are here, and the master wants you to go to the main hall."

"it is good!"

He had just responded when Linghu Chong's voice was heard from the outer door, and they went there together.

The same people were still present at the small meeting in the Songshan Hall, and Zhao Rong was still standing.

In addition to the leaders of the Five Mountains sects, there were also several strangers.

A big monk with a serious face, much younger than the abbot.

He is Master Fang Hai, the junior fellow of Master Fang Zheng, and his seniority in Shaolin is slightly lower than that of Fang Sheng.

However, as they are both great monks of the Fang generation, no one dares to underestimate his skills.

There are more than a dozen such Fang-generation masters in Shaolin. This is the foundation of the leader of the righteous path!

He brought five Shaolin monks with him, carrying crescent shovels.

There are also eight lay disciples.

Wudang sent Taoist Chongxu's junior brother Taoist Qingxu, Taoist Qingxu's nephew Taoist Chenggao, and seven Wudang disciples.

Although Taoist Master Cheng Gao was one level lower in seniority, Alliance Leader Zuo gave him a big task right from the start.

"This time we destroyed the Luzhou branch and cut off one of the demon cult's arms. When we get to the Xiaoyaojin branch headquarters, we still have to rely on Taoist Master Cheng Gao to help."

"After killing the evil cult thieves, we will blow up the Xiaoyaojin headquarters and cut off their roots."

Wudang Taoist Master Cheng Gao chuckled and said, "How difficult is this?"

That’s right, Taoist Cheng Gao is not only proficient in the Yin-Yang sword technique, but is also good at making explosives.

Zhao Rong secretly looked at Taoist Cheng Gao, as if he smelled gunpowder and wanted to know where he hid the gunpowder.

A sense of crisis filled my heart.

"The Wudang Taoist priest directly used explosives."

'The demon cult also used explosives to destroy birthday banquets, killing countless people.'

"No, I still need to practice the Golden Bell Cover."

Now that everyone was present, Alliance Leader Zuo assigned tasks.

The Luzhou branch was naturally nothing in their eyes, so they sought a quick victory.

The headquarters of this branch is in Xiaoyaojin, and there are five flags under the headquarters: black, purple, blue, white and yellow.

Each flag burns one incense stick, for a total of five incense sticks. There are five incense masters, two deputy incense masters, five flag masters, and ten deputy flag masters. The number of people in a flag varies.

"The headquarters has the largest number of people and is also holding a yellow flag, so we will send Songshan Sect, Shaolin, and Wudang together to suppress them."

"The black flags in the north are given to Mount Heng, the northernmost mountain; the white flags in the west are given to Mount Hua, the westernmost mountain; the blue flags in the east are given to Mount Tai, the easternmost mountain; and the purple flags south of Xiaoyaojin are naturally given to Mount Heng, the southernmost mountain."

Leader Zuo added: "If we are short of manpower, we can call on subordinate forces from the local area when we approach Luzhou."

"Do you have any questions?"

Taoist Tianmen shook his robe and said, "We can act sooner rather than later. I am about to avenge Junior Brother Ji and several of my disciples."

"Amitabha," Buddhist monks are compassionate, and Master Dingxian obviously does not like killing.

Zuo Lengchan said, "Master, why should you mind it?"

"These evil cult thieves are capable of all kinds of evil. Master, just by asking them casually, you will know that they are a cancer in the martial arts world."

"Our Righteous Alliance has eliminated this poison from the martial arts world and restored peace to Xiaoyaojin. This is a great good deed."

Nun Dingxian stopped talking, obviously agreeing.

Sect Leader Yue, Lady Ning, and Mr. Mo Da also nodded.

Zhao Rong looked at the map from afar.

The two flags of troops that the Huashan Sect and the Hengshan Sect wanted to attack were not due south and due west, but were very close.

With such a big fanfare, how could the Demon Cult not hear any news?

Blackwood Cliff must take action.
This time, the battle between good and evil is unavoidable.
