Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 41 Development and Planning

In the blink of an eye, one year has passed.

During this period, Liu Mang tried many ways to help Lin Pingzhi poach people, but always failed for various reasons. Although he tried his best to save the situation, he was powerless.

Liu Mang got used to the long-term failures. In the constant failures, he realized that this was not only a test from God, but also his subconscious pity for Yue Lingshan.

In the original trajectory of her fate, Yue Lingshan was devoted to Lin Pingzhi, but was eventually brutally murdered by Lin Pingzhi. This undoubtedly made Liu Mang extremely indignant!

Therefore, in promoting the relationship between Yue Lingshan and Lin Pingzhi, he could be said to have tried his best, or he could be said to have not tried his best.

If Liu Mang simply wanted Lin Pingzhi to marry Yue Lingshan, it would undoubtedly be very easy given his strength, identity and status.

But what he wanted was for Yue Lingshan to find true love and live a happy life, which ruled out all methods of force.

He didn't want to hurt Yue Lingshan!
Just as he always wanted to help Lao Yue and save Liu Zhengfeng's family, the regrets that could not be changed in his previous life now have a chance to be reversed, and he cherishes this opportunity.

After traveling through time and space, the original body's mission must be completed and one's own wish must be realized.

He, Liu Mang, is the host of the system, not a tool for the system to complete tasks!

"Let's wait and see. If Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan can be together, then it will be together. If not, there is no need to force it," Liu Mang decided.

In one year, Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan made rapid progress in martial arts, especially Linghu Chong, who was recognized by Feng Qingyang and taught the Dugu Nine Swords. In terms of strength, he could at least blind fifteen people with one sword!
In the original novel, during the siege of Yaowang Temple, fifteen masked men captured more than twenty people from Huashan, including Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, which shows how powerful they are.

All fifteen people are at least at the top second-rate level. Two of them can maintain a tie against the first-rate Ning Zhongze. In addition, the leading old man is also first-rate, so their strength can be said to be very strong.

This battle also showed how powerful Lao Yue was. Fifteen people besieged Lao Yue and he injured four or five of them. He was really strong.

Linghu Chong now has the possibility of defeating these fifteen people. It can be said that he is now even stronger than Yue Buqun who exploded with Zixia in the original novel. Similarly, he is also stronger than the current Lin Pingzhi. The protagonist is really unreasonable!

Although Yue Lingshan also made rapid progress and her Quanzhen swordsmanship was as good as any other first-rate one, she was ultimately different from the Dugu Nine Swords which did not rely on true Qi. Her second-rate internal skills greatly limited her strength. She was still slightly inferior to Yuan Yue Buqun, but stronger than Yuan Ning Zhongze. Out of the fifteen people in the Medicine King Temple, she could beat six by herself!

At the same time, the overall strength of Huashan Sect has also been greatly enhanced. The more than 30 disciples of Huashan are all talented people carefully selected by Yue Buqun. The Bone Tempering Chapter of the Book of Changes and the Five Mountains Sword Technique have been passed down for a year. All of them have advanced to the second-rate in terms of internal strength, and in terms of swordsmanship, they are all as good as Cong Buqi, the remnant of the Sword Sect!

This Cong Buqi is a remnant of the Huashan Sword Sect, of the same generation as Yue Buqun. He has practiced swordsmanship for decades and is a top second-rate master based on his swordsmanship alone.

After Yue Buqun broke through to the top, his mind was greatly opened. He no longer cared about sword energy and required his disciples to always use swords. With the help of the Yijing Bone Tempering Chapter to strengthen their aptitude, the accumulation of seven or eight years burst out in one day, and in a short period of time he traveled the path that the Sword Sect had never given up for decades.

If the Songshan Sect still looks for the remnants of the Sword Sect to cause trouble like in the original novel, the Huashan Sect can now let them know why the flowers are so red!

But this shouldn't happen. Yue Buqun's breakthrough is known to everyone in the world. It's also easy to find out that Liu Mang is in Huashan. Zuo Lengchan shouldn't have to attack Huashan.

But sometimes reality is always unexpected.

On this day, Liu Mang was discussing with Yue Buqun how to deal with the inevitable suppression from Shaolin and Wudang, when a disciple came to report outside the door: Shaolin Fangzheng, Wudang Chongxu, Southern Shaolin Du Chi Zen Master, Songshan Zuo Lengchan and their disciples as well as masters from Taishan School and Hengshan School are here to pay a visit!

Hmm? Liu Mang and Yue Buqun looked at each other. Are you so impatient?
Contrary to expectations, the Songshan School's trick still came true.

Perhaps in order to deal with the increasingly powerful alliance between the Fuwei Escort Agency and the Huashan Sect, Zuo Lengchan actually asked Shaolin and Wudang to join him.

In fact, it is hard to say whether it was Zuo Lengchan who looked for him. It is also possible that Shaolin or Wudang took the initiative to look for him, and this possibility is not small.

When enemies come, we will fight back; when water comes, we will block it with earth. Liu Mang is no longer someone that can be controlled by any force. It would be fine if he is willing to reason, but if he is not willing, the Ming Dynasty will collapse even if it comes!
As soon as he entered the Jianqi Chongxiao Hall, Yue Buqun saw Feng Buping, Cheng Buyou and Cong Buqi. He thought for a moment and immediately guessed the plans of Shaolin, Wudang and Songshan today.

Yue Buqun told Liu Mang his guess in secret, and he sat in the main seat without saying a word, while Liu Mang sat in the guest seat at the front.

“What important matter has brought you all to Huashan today? With such a scene, I thought it was a cult attacking the mountain!” Yue Buqun looked calm and pretended not to know.

With peerless perception scanning the entire place, Liu Mang immediately sneered. It was a grand ceremony, with six top-notch people and nearly a hundred first-rate people. It was even more luxurious than the one used to deal with the Demon Cult who attacked the mountain!

The so-called six top masters, besides Fang Zheng, Chongxu, Du Chi and Zuo Lengchan, the other two are Feng Buping unexpectedly and the other one is unknown and no one knows where he was found.

Add to that Liu Mang and Yue Buqun, this is one peerless, seven top masters, and hundreds of first-rate masters gathered at Huashan! With this lineup, it will be easy to destroy the Demon Cult!
Unfortunately, people’s hearts are divided. Although the righteous have absolute strength, they are always fighting among themselves and watching the evil sect grow stronger.

Hearing Yue Buqun's question, Zuo Lengchan took the lead in attacking Yue Buqun: "Yue Buqun, your Huashan Sword Sect disciples Feng Buping, Cheng Buyu, and Never Abandoned reported to you that the 'Qi Sect' excluded the 'Sword Sect' in the past and used conspiracy and trickery to win the sword duel and occupy the position of the head of Huashan. Do you have anything to say?"

“Haha!” Yue Buqun chuckled, “In the battle of sword energy, the winner and loser have already been decided, and everyone in the martial arts world knows it. I don’t bother to refute it. But Senior Brother Zuo is too presumptuous to interfere in the internal affairs of Huashan!”

“That’s wrong!” Zuo Lengchan shook his head, his face showing compassion. “As the leader of the Five Mountains, I, Zuo Lengchan, have the obligation to correct the injustice in the alliance! The Sword Sect accused you of a conspiracy in the sword fight with the Qi Sect, so I have the obligation to find out the truth and defend those who were wronged! If what the Sword Sect said is true, then I hope that Junior Brother Yue will give up the position of the head of Huashan and entrust the Sword Sect to Feng Buping as the new head of Huashan!”

High-sounding and specious words! Everyone in Huashan was secretly complaining that Huashan was upright and honest, and our master was a well-known gentleman swordsman in the martial arts world. There was no possibility that he would use conspiracy or trickery.

But in fact, Yue Buqun knew that their Qi Sect had indeed used conspiracy to defeat the Sword Sect!
At that time, the head of Huashan was Ning Qingyu of the Qi Sect. He felt that the Sword Sect was becoming increasingly powerful and posed a threat to the Qi Sect's rule, so he planned to suppress the Sword Sect with a sword fight.

But Feng Qingyang of the Sword Sect is almost invincible in the world, and there is no way that the Qi Sect can defeat the Sword Sect by strength.

So Qi Zong started planning early and spent more than a year on the layout. He sent people to Feng Qingyang's hometown in Jiangnan to approach Feng Qingyang's parents and arrange a marriage for him.

His parents didn't know that the girl was a famous courtesan. When they saw that she was both beautiful and talented, they wrote a letter asking Feng Qingyang to return home and get married immediately, otherwise they would sever the father-son relationship.

Feng Qingyang had no choice but to go home and get married.

Huashan Qi Sect took the opportunity to challenge Jian Sect to a duel, stipulating that the loser could only obey the orders of the other party and could not quarrel again in the future.

The Sword Sect agreed immediately, but they did not expect the Qi Sect to be ruthless and kill three of their outstanding disciples in succession!
The clever Sword Sect disciples recalled that Feng Qingyang had suddenly returned home to get married, and they immediately realized that this was a conspiracy by the Qi Sect. After the news spread, the Sword Sect disciples became restless.

The situation got completely out of control after the elders of the Qi Sect killed several young talents of the Sword Sect who were leading the questioning. Disciples of the two sects fought each other, and the elders of both sides also died.

In the end, Huashan suffered heavy casualties, leaving only the leader Ning Qingyu and five disciples of the "bu" generation, namely Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze, Feng Buping, Cheng Buyou, and Cong Buqi!

The three surviving members of the Sword Sect were afraid of Ning Qingyu, and in a fit of rage they announced that they were leaving Huashan, and went down the mountain together and disappeared.

The seriously injured and dying Ning Qingyu was filled with regret. His plan almost wiped out the entire Huashan family. He was overwhelmed with self-blame and watched the three people from the Sword Sect leave.

Afterwards, he handed over the position of the head of Huashan to Yue Buqun, and asked Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze to stay dormant after getting married. He would leave after he had redeveloped Huashan.

After Feng Qingyang got the news, he felt that everything was over. He was disheartened and suppressed his desire to kill Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze. He lay dormant on the Cliff of Repentance and never asked about the affairs of the martial arts world again!

Therefore, what the three people from the Sword Sect said was indeed correct. His Huashan Qi Sect defeated the Sword Sect by using conspiracy and tricks!

But Yue Buqun didn't want to mention the past events from decades ago. He had been the head of the sect for more than 20 years, and Huashan had just begun to recover its heyday. It was impossible for him to hand over the position of head of the sect to Shaolin, Wudang or even Zuo Lengchan at this time!

So, Yue Buqun made his attitude clear, "What nonsense! My Qi Sect is better than the Jian Sect in sword fighting, there is no way we can give up the position of the leader! Everyone, please go back!" His words were fierce and tough.

"Amitabha!" Fang Zheng said, "The truth of decades ago is hard to know. Since both sides hold their own opinions, I think it would be better for them to fight with swords again. The loser will obey orders, and the winner will control Huashan."

Chongxu also agreed, "That makes sense! If you, Sect Leader Yue, win, Huashan will have three more masters; if the Sword Sect wins, although you will lose the position of the Sect Leader of Huashan, the overall strength of Huashan will increase greatly, which is a good thing anyway!"

"Amitabha, I think it will work!" This is to save the fool.

"Junior Brother Yue, what do you think?" Zuo Lengchan asked Yue Buqun, and then turned to Liu Mang, "What does Chief Escort Lin think?"

After thinking for a while, Liu Mang grinned and said, "I think it's okay, but we have to set some rules!"

Zuo Lengchan's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Of course. I wonder what Chief Escort Lin wants to decide? You can tell us and let us discuss it. If it's reasonable, Master Fangzheng, Taoist Chongxu, and Zen Master Duchi will naturally have no objection. If there are any problems, we can also discuss and solve them!"

This was clearly Huashan's business, but the rules of the competition were not decided by Huashan himself. Yue Buqun clenched his fists so tightly that his palms were almost bleeding!

In the end, both sides agreed to send out three people each, and the winner of three games would be decided by the best of two!
