Starting from the time when Mang traveled through Joy of Life, he fabricated the myths of the heaven

Chapter 505 Intervention (Part 2)
Everyone heard the noise from the backyard, and many could tell that something had happened. Shen Qingzhou heard this and looked at Liu Zhengfeng. He didn't see who was speaking, but he guessed it.

I probably remember the famous scene of "washing one's hands in the golden basin" very clearly because I've seen so many versions of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

The woman's voice sounded quirky and clever; she must be Qu Feiyan, who died young and was saved by every time traveler. Just from her voice, this girl was incredibly intelligent.

She spoke loudly on purpose, so that her voice could be heard in the hall. It was a warning, and Shen Qingzhou guessed that she must have discovered that the Songshan Sect had kidnapped the Liu family members, so she spoke up to warn them.

She must have been observing secretly. Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng aren't stupid; they might have been keeping an eye on things, but they certainly wouldn't have shown up at the Liu residence at this time. They must have sensed something was wrong and did it on purpose.

"I like to go to the back garden with Sister Liu to catch butterflies, why are you stopping me?" Qu Feiyan's voice rang out.

"Alright! If you want to go, go by yourself. Please, Miss Liu, stay here for a while," the man said, stopping her.

Qu Feiyan said, "Sister Liu said she hates seeing you. You should get far away from her. Sister Liu doesn't even know you. Who wants you to bother her here?"

"Sister, let's go, don't pay any attention to him." Another female voice rang out, getting closer and closer to the hall.

"Miss Liu, please wait here for a moment," the man said.

Some people with profound martial arts skills had already heard this conversation and were quite incredulous. This Sister Liu must be Liu Zhengfeng's daughter. Who would dare to stop her?
Everyone instinctively looked at Liu Zhengfeng, but said nothing. This was his territory, and no one would overstep their bounds.

Liu Zhengfeng grew angrier as he listened, thinking, "Which audacious scoundrel dared to come to my house and act so disrespectfully towards my Jing'er?"

He didn't realize the importance of the problem; before it happened, who would have thought such a thing would happen?

"Master Liu, I never expected that among all these heroes, there would be such a rogue causing trouble. Does he not underestimate us? We should see which evil sect dares to act in this way." Suddenly, a voice came from somewhere, and everyone felt that it made a lot of sense.

"Yes, Master Liu, we'll take them down right away." In the martial arts world, there's never a shortage of young people who want to make a name for themselves.

"Yes." A group of people began to echo.

Shen Qingzhou watched this scene with a little pride. Of course, this was what he did. After perfecting the Lion's Roar Divine Skill, he could reach the top with just this skill, and all sorts of tricks using sound would be easy for him.

He has now mastered ventriloquism without a teacher, which is the method he uses now. Naturally, no one can detect it and will think that someone else is speaking.

"How could I dare trouble you all?" Liu Zhengfeng said, cupping his hands in greeting. Since he had said that, no one would do anything more.

Shen Qingzhou wasn't surprised. In Liu Zhengfeng's view, this was just a family matter. It was just that he himself didn't want to see a tragedy. If someone really broke into the backyard, the Songshan Sect members would be discovered and would naturally feel guilty in advance. Some things would not have to happen. It's a pity.

Before Liu Zhengfeng could say anything, Mi Weiyi, the second disciple of the Liu family, rushed to the back hall upon hearing the commotion. He saw his junior sister and Qu Feiyan standing hand in hand in the courtyard, while a young man in a yellow robe spread his arms and blocked their way.

Upon seeing the man's attire, Mi Weiyi recognized him as a disciple of the Songshan Sect. Feeling indignant, he coughed and said loudly, "This senior brother is from the Songshan Sect, isn't he? Why don't you come up to the hall and sit down?"

The man said arrogantly, "No need. I am ordered by the Alliance Leader to keep an eye on the Liu family members and not allow a single one to escape."

These words were not spoken loudly, but they were spoken with extraordinary arrogance. Everyone in the hall heard them and their expressions changed.

It was Zuo Lengchan! Many of the young heroes who had spoken earlier involuntarily took a few steps back. Although they all wanted to become famous, they had to consider their opponents, especially Zuo Lengchan.

"What are you talking about? Your Songshan Sect dared to enter my private quarters without permission. Do you think I, Liu Zhengfeng, am someone to be trifled with?" Liu Zhengfeng was furious and rebuked Shi Dengda. Suddenly, he had a bad feeling.

The Songshan Sect is a righteous sect, a fact universally acknowledged. Yet they dared to kidnap my family members; this is absolutely not a righteous act. I am not someone to be trifled with. They dared to do such a thing in front of the whole world, they must think they have me cornered. Could it be that the matter has been exposed?

Shi Dengda said, "Junior Brother Wan, come out. Be careful what you say. Uncle Liu has already agreed not to wash his hands." He actually took it for granted that Liu Zhengfeng had given in.

At this moment, he was full of pride. A disciple of Songshan was able to directly suppress the famous Liu Zhengfeng. If he didn't know about that matter, he wouldn't dare to do this even if he had ten times the courage.

The man in the back room replied, "Yes! That would be perfect." As he spoke, he turned around from the back room, bowed slightly to Liu Zhengfeng, and said, "Wan Daping, a disciple of the Songshan Sect, greets Uncle Liu."

Everyone was a little bewildered by what they saw. Things had happened so fast, and they didn't know what was going on, but all they could do was watch.

"How many disciples have the Songshan Sect brought? Show yourselves!" Liu Zhengfeng said loudly, his body trembling slightly with anger.

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of people from the rooftop, outside the main gate, in the corner of the hall, in the backyard, and all around responded in unison: "Yes, disciples of the Songshan Sect pay their respects to Uncle Liu."

Dozens of voices shouted out at the same time, loud and unexpected, startling the crowd. They saw more than ten people standing on the roof, all dressed in yellow.

The people in the hall were dressed in various clothes. It was obvious that they had sneaked in long ago and were secretly monitoring Liu Zhengfeng. Among the more than a thousand people, no one noticed.

Master Dingyi was the first to lose her composure, exclaiming loudly, "What... what does this mean? This is outrageous!"

Shi Dengda said, "Uncle Dingyi, please forgive me. My master gave an order that I must persuade Uncle Liu not to retire from the martial arts world. I was afraid that Uncle Liu would not obey the order, so I offended him in many ways."

Just then, more than a dozen people came out from the back hall. They were Liu Zhengfeng's wife, his two young sons, and seven disciples of the Liu family. Behind each of them was a disciple from Songshan Mountain, each holding a dagger and pressing it against the back of Liu's wife and the others.

This scene unfolded so quickly that everyone was overwhelmed. At first, it was fine, but seeing Liu Zhengfeng's family members being taken hostage made everyone present feel uneasy.

Especially among the people of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, there was a certain degree of shared hatred. Many people knew that Zuo Lengchan harbored ambitions to unite the Five Mountains Sects, and Songshan's actions at this moment had provoked public anger.

However, no one was a fool, and Zuo Lengchan was no exception. He must have had a good reason for doing such a thing, so we had to wait and see. "Friends, it's not that I, Liu, am acting on my own whim, but since Senior Brother Zuo has threatened me like this today, if I, Liu, were to yield to his power, how could I face the world?"

"Brother Zuo forbids me from washing my hands of this 'golden basin' business. Heh heh, I'd rather die than bend my will." With that, Liu Zhengfeng stepped forward and reached his hands into the golden basin.

Seeing this scene, he had already guessed what was going on. Others might not know, but he certainly did. Something had happened; otherwise, the disciples of the Songshan Sect wouldn't have acted so rudely.

He suddenly regretted it. He should have listened to Shen Qingzhou and retired from the martial arts world. Now, there wouldn't be so many problems. At most, he would have offended Zuo Lengchan. But if he retired, it wouldn't be so easy for Zuo Lengchan to deal with him. It would be against the rules of the martial arts world.

Everyone is afraid of being targeted by all sorts of people after retiring from the criminal world, so naturally they have to maintain order. No one knows if they will ever reach that point. He underestimated the ruthlessness of the Songshan Sect. Of course, he didn't believe that Zuo Lengchan would actually dare to kill someone.

Stendar shouted, "Wait!" He unfurled his command flag and blocked Stendar's path, indicating that he was about to take direct action.

Liu Zhengfeng swiftly reached out with his left hand, inserting two fingers into his eyes. Shi Dengda raised his arms to block, but Liu Zhengfeng withdrew his left hand and then inserted two fingers of his right hand into his eyes.

Stendar had no choice but to retreat. Once Liu Zhengfeng forced him away, he reached for the golden basin with both hands.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from behind, and two people rushed up. Liu Zhengfeng didn't turn around. He kicked out with his left leg, sending one of the Songshan disciples flying far away with a bang. He then grabbed another Songshan disciple by the chest with his right hand, lifted him up, and threw him toward Shi Dengda.

His two kicks, a left leg back kick and a right hand grab, were as if he had eyes in the back of his head. The targets were accurate and the movements were incredibly fast. He was indeed a master of internal martial arts, and he was extraordinary.

These moves were truly impressive, and Liu Zhengfeng lived up to his reputation. With just a few moves, he managed to outwit several well-known disciples of Songshan Mountain without even using his full strength.

The disciples of Mount Song were stunned, and none of them dared to come forward. The disciple standing behind his son shouted, "Uncle Liu, if you don't stop, I'm going to kill your young master."

Liu Zhengfeng turned around, glanced at his son, and said coldly: "The heroes of the world are here. If you dare to touch my son, all your dozens of Songshan disciples will be turned into meat paste."

These words were not empty threats. If the disciples of Songshan really hurt his young son, it would surely arouse public indignation and cause a mass attack. The disciples of Songshan would then be unable to escape justice. He turned around and reached for the golden basin with both hands again.

Seeing that no one could stop them this time, a flash of silver light appeared, and a tiny hidden weapon pierced through the air, heading straight for the golden basin.

The hidden weapon was swift and fast, but unexpectedly, it seemed to hit an invisible wall and then fell limply to the ground.

That's why many people discovered this hidden weapon. Seeing this, Liu Zhengfeng no longer hesitated, reached out and washed his hands in one swift motion.

He had already realized that the hidden weapon was aimed at him, and it came so fast that even if he encountered it, he could only dodge it. But he didn't expect that something would intercept it halfway.

In this situation, besides Shen Qingzhou, he couldn't think of anyone else with such skill. He didn't think he could surpass everyone present in martial arts; at the very least, he knew he was no match for Yue Buqun.

However, he couldn't think of anyone else who could do it so quietly, except for Shen Qingzhou, who was rumored to have defeated Xiaoyao Hou. He had fought Shen Qingzhou before and felt that he had let him win every time. But looking at the other party's record, he seemed to be quite ridiculous.

"Wait, you dare?" Liu Zhengfeng washed his hands without hesitation, but voices tried to stop him, only to find it was too late.

Suddenly, Liu Zhengfeng took two steps back. With a soft clang, another hidden weapon appeared. This time, it was not intercepted and struck the edge of the golden basin. The basin tipped over and fell to the ground with a clatter. The basin turned upside down, and all the water spilled onto the ground.

However, Liu Zhengfeng had already wiped his hands. This time, he didn't dawdle or harbor any illusions. He knew the crisis was still there, but at least the other party had some reservations.

As the sound appeared, a yellow shadow flickered, and a person leaped down from the roof, kicking the bottom of the golden basin with their right foot, instantly turning the basin into a flat piece.

The man was in his forties, of medium build, and unusually thin, with a mustache on his upper lip. He cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Liu, by order of the Alliance Leader, you are not allowed to retire from the martial arts world."

Liu Zhengfeng recognized this person as Fei Bin, the fourth junior brother of Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Songshan Sect. Fei Bin was famous in the martial arts world for his Great Songyang Hand technique. Judging from the situation, the Songshan Sect had come to deal with him today not just a second-generation disciple.

He had already kicked the golden basin to pieces. Should he fight with all his might or endure the humiliation for now? In an instant, his mind raced: "Although the Songshan Sect holds the banner of the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance, they are so aggressive. Are there not any of the more than a thousand heroes here who will stand up and say a word of justice?"

He immediately returned the greeting with clasped hands and said, "Brother Fei, you've arrived. Why don't you come and have a drink with us instead of hiding on the rooftop and suffering under the sun?"

Most of the Songshan Sect likely have other experts arriving; please all show yourselves. Brother Fei alone is more than capable of dealing with Liu, but if we're to contend with the many heroes here, the Songshan Sect might not be strong enough.

Moreover, Liu has already publicly retired from the martial arts world and has no further connection with it. Does Senior Brother Fei think that retiring from the martial arts world is a joke? Liu Zhengfeng said.

Fei Bin smiled slightly and said, "Why does Senior Brother Liu need to sow discord? Even if I were to be your enemy alone, I would not be able to withstand your 'Little Wild Goose' move just now."

The Songshan Sect would never dare to have any conflict with the Hengshan Sect, nor would it dare to offend any of the heroes here, not even Senior Brother Liu. They have come to plead with Senior Brother Liu not to retire from martial arts for the sake of the lives and fortunes of millions of fellow martial artists.

Upon hearing this, all the heroes in the hall were stunned, wondering, "How could Liu Zhengfeng's decision to retire from the martial arts world be related to the lives and fortunes of millions of fellow martial artists?"

Sure enough, Liu Zhengfeng chimed in, "Brother Fei, you flatter me too much."

Liu is merely a mediocre fighter in the Hengshan Sect, with young children and only eight or nine incompetent disciples. He is utterly insignificant. How could Liu's actions possibly affect the lives of millions of fellow martial artists?

Master Dingyi interjected, "Yes, Brother Liu has given up his martial arts career to take on a minor official post. To be honest, I don't approve of that either. But everyone has their own ambitions. He wants to get promoted and make money. As long as he doesn't harm the people or break the code of honor among martial arts practitioners, no one can force him to stop."

I don't think Brother Liu has such great ability to harm so many fellow martial artists."
