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

Chapter 519 Startled and Fleeing (Part 2)
The news that your son has become a disciple of Yue Buqun of Mount Hua was heard by Mr. and Mrs. Lin Zhennan, and they were very surprised.

They were certain that this was not Mu Gaofeng's voice, but that of a master who had managed to remain undetected by Mu Gaofeng. Such a person must be a powerful individual.

Although Mu Gaofeng was also despicable, coveting their family's Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, one thing must be admitted: he was indeed a strong person.

But someone who could leap over Mu Gaofeng without him noticing must be an even stronger person, though for some reason, the other party didn't show up.

They were certain that this was not a conspiracy orchestrated by Mu Gaofeng. At this moment, Mu Gaofeng still wanted to use the information gap to get the two people to hand over the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual because of Lin Pingzhi.

This was of course Shen Qingzhou speaking. Since he perfected the Lion's Roar Divine Skill, he had become very proficient in using techniques such as telepathy and ventriloquism.

Even among top-tier experts like him, many can use the technique of transmitting sound secretly, but even Yue Buqun wouldn't dare to use it under Mu Gaofeng's nose.

Shen Qingzhou's cultivation technique was too perfect, his internal energy quality was too high, and he also knew a special sonic technique, so naturally Mu Gaofeng could ignore him.

Strictly speaking, Shen Qingzhou was able to make Mu Gaofeng flee in panic simply by relying on the Lion's Roar Divine Skill. This martial art is very powerful, and its destructive power is much stronger than the original Lion's Roar alone.

At this moment, Lin Zhennan and his wife were even more excited to hear the news about their son. If it was true, that would be wonderful.

Yue Buqun has an exceptionally good reputation. Without prior knowledge, how could you possibly suspect that he had ulterior motives? The title of "Gentleman Sword" was earned through countless trials and tribulations.

At this moment, watching Mu Gaofeng's performance, the two of them found it inexplicably funny. In fact, it was only because the two of them weren't bad people that they dragged Shen Qingzhou into this situation, even though he wasn't afraid.

At this moment, the couple did not expose Shen Qingzhou's thoughts. They had helped him, so how could he repay kindness with enmity? Besides, he couldn't expose this matter anyway.

"Well, have you thought it over? Lin Pingzhi is my disciple. If you tell me about the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual, I'll send him back to see you all. The family will be reunited, and I can even teach him the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Mu Gaofeng tempted.

He was really looking forward to it. He noticed that the two men looked a little off. Everyone loves their children; no one is immune to this.

He didn't know that the changes in the two people's expressions had nothing to do with what he said. Of course, Lin Zhennan and his wife weren't fools either. Although they believed that a master was sending a message, what if it had other purposes?

Mu Gaofeng wouldn't contradict himself, but what about other people? Lin Zhennan and his wife have endured this hardship, and it's actually quite difficult to get them to believe anyone now.

The allure of the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual is too strong. Even Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng, both renowned figures in the martial arts world, couldn't resist its temptation. How much more so for others? It might just be another trap.

"If Senior Mu doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do. My husband and I just want to see our son one more time, but it seems unlikely that we'll be able to do so."

"If there really is an Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, even if Senior Mu didn't ask, we would definitely pass it on to the child. How could we let such a unique skill be disgraced?" Lin Zhennan said, emphasizing the need for a corresponding agreement.

"That's right, your heart meridian is broken. Even if I do nothing to you, you won't survive. But you refuse to say what the sword manual is for even if you die."
"You want to preserve the Lin family's ancestral martial arts, but after you die, your family will only have Lin Pingzhi as its sole descendant. If he also dies, even if the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual still exists, without any descendants of the Lin family to practice it, the manual will be completely useless to your Lin family," Mu Gaofeng said.

"Besides, you and your husband are naturally not afraid of death, but have you thought about what Lin Pingzhi would think? Would he want to avenge you? With his martial arts skills, wouldn't he be offering himself up to be killed?"

Tell me the sword manual, and I will pass it on to him. Whether he seeks revenge or has many descendants, he will have a good outcome.

Lin Zhennan, you should know the importance of martial arts by now. In the martial arts world, martial arts are the most reliable thing.

Without the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, Lin Pingzhi would be like this rotten log, easily cleaved in two. Mu Gaofeng cleaved a thick log in two with a single palm strike.

"Are you going to split Ping'er in two?" Madam Lin was shocked. It concerned Lin Pingzhi, so she couldn't help but care. Even though there was a telepathic message that Lin Pingzhi had already joined Mount Hua, regardless of whether the matter was true or not, it would be abnormal not to care if she heard that someone was going to kill her son.

But to be honest, even if Lin Pingzhi becomes a disciple of Mount Hua, Yue Buqun is still a highly skilled person, but that doesn't mean he can protect Lin Pingzhi at all times. If Mu Gaofeng tries every means to kill Lin Pingzhi, unless he doesn't leave Mount Hua, there is a very good chance he can succeed.

Everyone could tell that while Mu Gaofeng was talking about the importance of martial arts, he was also using it as a metaphor to threaten: if you don't give me the sword manual, I can chop wood, and I can also chop off people's heads.

"Haha, he's my disciple. How could I do that? I just wanted to show you how difficult it is to survive in this martial world without martial arts skills. If only he were an ordinary person, but everyone knows that his ancestor was Lin Yuantu, who was once a powerful figure in the region," Mu Gaofeng said.

“Madam, there’s no need to say more. Our child will not be in his hands. Otherwise, it would be much better if he just brought him here to threaten us in front of us. Why bother trying to intimidate us here?” Lin Zhennan said.

He was also using reverse psychology, trying to find out where Lin Pingzhi was. Although he had joined the Huashan Sect, he still had some doubts. Nowadays, they simply didn't dare to trust anyone.

Of course, it would be best if he didn't end up in Mu Gaofeng's hands, but if he could see his son before he died, that would be a good thing.

However, he hoped it wasn't in Mu Gaofeng's hands, otherwise, it would be truly hopeless, and he himself didn't know if he would reveal his ancestors' warnings.

"Haha, what's so difficult about me, Saibei Mingtuo, killing your son? Even if he's not in my hands now, I'm determined to kill him. Do you think I can't do it?" Mu Gaofeng said arrogantly.

Madam Lin looked at Lin Zhennan with concern. Mu Gaofeng was telling the truth, while Lin Zhennan just laughed it off.

“Madam, if we tell him about the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, the first thing this hunchback will do is go and get the manual.”

The second thing is to kill Pingzhi. If we don't tell him, the hunchback will have to keep Pingzhi alive if he wants to get the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual. If Pingzhi doesn't tell him, given how much he cares about the manual, he won't dare to harm him for a single day. You know the key to this.”

Lin Zhennan bluntly stated that nowadays, it's meaningless to say that you don't have the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual at home. As for where Lin Pingzhi is now, it's unknown, but if he really is in Mu Gaofeng's hands, just as he said, Lin Pingzhi won't die.

The couple couldn't survive, but with their deaths, Lin Pingzhi would be the only remaining member of the Lin family. Anyone with ambitions regarding the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual would have to ask Lin Pingzhi.

However, they knew that Lin Pingzhi had no idea what the sword manual was, so there was still a chance to save his life; every extra day he could live was a day more.

Lin Zhennan had already regretted it. He had guessed that the ancestral instructions should be the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, something he had never thought of before.

He didn't think martial arts were that important before; his business acumen was too strong, and coupled with the reputation of Fuwei Escort Agency, it was now even bigger than the agency during Lin Yuantu's time.

He thought he was just doing business, but the massacre of his entire family made him realize what the escort agency relied on. The reason he could develop with peace of mind was because others feared the prestige left behind by Lin Yuantu. But when he truly discovered that there were no real experts left, things turned out like they are now. Lin Zhennan truly regretted it, but it was too late to turn back the tide.

Lin Zhennan possesses business acumen and a heroic spirit, but he knows very little about the real affairs of the underworld.

He taught Lin Pingzhi to make more friends and fewer enemies, so that Lin Pingzhi could have a pure heart and believe in chivalrous behavior in a loving and harmonious environment.

After Lin Pingzhi mistakenly killed Yu Canghai's son, Yu Renyan, Lin Zhennan learned the truth but did not blame him. Instead, he told him, "If this kind of person fell into your father's hands, he would kill him too."

However, he was not a fool; he was a shrewd businessman. His only failure was that he did not possess martial arts skills.

At this moment, he directly exposed Mu Gaofeng's lie, partly for Madam An's sake, and partly because he didn't want to deal with Mu Gaofeng anymore.

"Fine, fine." Mu Gaofeng was so angry he almost laughed. Now, he had exhausted all his last resorts. As for threatening Lin Pingzhi, not to mention how long those two could hold out, he would have to fight Yue Buqun, no, Ning Zhongze, before he knew.

"That's right! Hunchback, just kill us, you and your husband, already!" Seeing Mu Gaofeng's state, Madam Lin gave up any hope and spoke directly.

Mu Gaofeng was furious and had already decided to kill him. But Lin Zhennan and his wife were as firm as iron. Now that they had seen through his deception, they would definitely not fall for it.

"I'll ask you one last time, aren't you really afraid of Lin Pingzhi's death?" Mu Gaofeng asked as a final question.

“Pingzhi has already joined the Huashan Sect. If Senior Mu has the ability to kill him, then that is his fate,” Lin Zhennan said.

"Who told you that he joined the Huashan Sect?" Mu Gaofeng's question delighted Lin Zhennan and his wife. Judging from Mu Gaofeng's expression, the news that Lin Pingzhi had joined the Huashan Sect was true.

Mu Gaofeng didn't say it was fake news. He disdained to lie to a dying man. Even if he were to deceive Lin Zhennan and his wife, he would only use the information gap. Lin Pingzhi had indeed become his disciple, albeit under duress.

“Of course, some people have said it,” Lin Zhennan said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhou realized that Lin Zhennan and his wife had some sense; they didn't completely believe his information. And rightly so, after experiencing something like this, it would be crazy to trust others again.

"Hehe." Mu Gaofeng laughed. Hearing his laughter, Shen Qingzhou was also prepared. He was going to save Lin Zhennan and his wife.

And the desire to save them is far stronger than the desire to save Liu Zhengfeng. If we hadn't met them or had the chance, that would have been fine, but if we had the chance, we must save them.

Fuwei Escort Agency is not like Tianxia Escort Agency. Although Fuwei Escort Agency does not have any top-notch escorts, its reputation and experience, built up over generations, are far superior to Tianxia Escort Agency.

Whenever a镖局 (escort agency) needs to transport goods along the coastal route or to the martial arts world in the south, Fuwei镖局 can provide an excellent escort route.

Although the Fuwei Escort Agency has been dismantled by the Qingcheng Sect, its past experience remains. This knowledge may not be of much use to people in the martial arts world, or most people, but it is very useful to escort agencies across the country.

Shen Qingzhou's future development of the Tianxia Escort Agency will be much smoother, with only benefits and no drawbacks. Of course, this is Shen Qingzhou's thought after witnessing this scene.

If he hadn't seen them and had only heard that they were dead, he probably wouldn't have thought much of it; he's always been rather casual in his actions.

Whenever Mu Gaofeng makes a move, he can openly and legitimately offer assistance; there is no greater help than providing timely help in times of need.

Even if they know they have ulterior motives for saving them, their purpose isn't your sword manual, it's just the escort route. They can make it themselves, it's just easier because of Lin Zhennan's connection.

He was highly skilled in martial arts, but on the lakeside, his skills did not represent the reputation of the entire escort agency, since he could not possibly guarantee the safety of every shipment.

Mu Gaofeng was contemplating whether to kill them or hold back a little longer when a sound from outside made him change his mind.

"Senior Mu, Linghu Chong of the Huashan Sect, on his master's orders, respectfully requests that you move elsewhere, as his master has something to discuss with you."

Linghu Chong was actually listening, and he knew in his heart that Mu Gaofeng had reached a critical point. If they didn't think of a way soon, the lives of Lin Zhennan and his wife would be in danger.

Shen Qingzhou intended to offer timely assistance to maximize his own benefit, but Linghu Chong planned to leverage the situation.

Mu Gaofeng was terrified when he heard Linghu Chong's name. He had been traveling the martial arts world for many years and was confident in his skills. He rarely yielded to anyone in his life, but he was wary of Yue Buqun, the leader of the Huashan Sect.

This is not just because of the title "Gentleman Sword". The most important thing is that they have fought each other. He had personally experienced Yue Buqun's skills and the Zixia Divine Skill was still fresh in his memory.

His current threats against Lin Zhennan and his wife are something that reputable sects would certainly not approve of. Yue Buqun and his disciples have probably been listening outside the temple for a while.

His confrontational attitude towards Lin Zhennan and his wife must have been seen by others. Now he's making it sound nice to let him out, but what will happen when they meet? They'll definitely use their prestigious status to criticize him and make sarcastic remarks.

As for killing him, they had fought before. Although he knew he was no match for Yue Buqun, it wouldn't be so easy for the other party to kill him.

He also decided to leave before he could suffer a loss, but suddenly said, "I have other important matters to attend to and cannot accompany you."

You should tell your master that you'd like to come to the northern frontier for a visit sometime. I, Mu, will be waiting for you then, and I'll certainly have plans for you."

With that, he leaped from the hall to the courtyard, lightly touched the ground with his left foot, and was already on the roof. He then landed behind the temple, fearing that Yue Buqun would intercept him.

Shen Qingzhou watched this scene without saying a word. He had originally wanted to offer help in a time of need, but Mu Gaofeng had been scared away by Linghu Chong before he could even make a move. That man was a good-for-nothing.

Since that's the case, there's no need for him to intercept him. Even if Mu Gaofeng is no match for him, there's no need for him to take action for someone else.
