After marrying his master's wife, he reached the peak of his life

Chapter 133 We Respectfully Welcome the Young Master Back to the Mountain (Subscription Request)
Yuncang Mountains, Qingyun Peak.

Taoist Xuanyang looked at the thick stack of letter papers in his hand, with a complicated expression on his face, "He is truly an unparalleled evildoer!"

He glanced down again.

June 28th, Hexian Mountain, 9:00 p.m.

Thousands of heroes gathered, the place was bustling with noise. Li Chungang arrived with a dozen clan elders, looking relaxed and composed.

Not long after, Tianyou arrived, alone, wearing a black robe and jade belt, with a solemn expression, and walked slowly up the mountain, surrounded by the heroes.

Li Chungang confronted him on the top of the mountain, shouting at him in an attempt to shake the enemy's morale.

At that time, the wind and clouds in the sky were changing rapidly, dark clouds were rolling, lightning was exploding, and heavy rain was about to come.

Everyone was in an uproar. Under this celestial phenomenon, the power of the Li family's Fengyun Thunderbolt Palm increased greatly, and was no less powerful than that of a half-step celestial being. Could this be God's will?
Li Chungang's palm attracted wind and thunder, lightning raged, and he laughed three times, "God help me!" He struck out with his palm, wind and clouds stirred, thunder followed, the heroes around him were horrified, they felt that the power of heaven had descended, and it was unstoppable.

Zhao Tianyou held the steel spear and stabbed it with one thrust. Flames swirled around the spear like a dragon or snake. Wherever the sharp edge passed, the thunder dissipated, the wind and clouds disappeared, and a bloody hole was pierced in Li Chungang's hand.

Li Chungang was horrified and suddenly drew a knife from his waist. The knife was shining brightly and was flowing like water waves, with a layer of mist covering it.

"I created the Mother-Child Lightning Sword Technique myself, and forged this precious sword with a special iron. It is called Lightning Attractor. It can draw the wind and thunder from the nine heavens to the lower world. The sword light can destroy demons, and nothing can stop it."

"Zhao Tianyou, if you know what's good for you, surrender immediately!"

Tianyou ignored him and just raised his gun. There was a faint roar of a dragon, and flames blazed on the spear, which then tore through the sky.

Li Chungang was forced into a corner and used his self-created unique skill, the Lightning Sword Technique, to draw the wind and thunder from the nine heavens down to the mortal world. Lightning and thunder fell from the sky and landed on the precious sword.

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, thunder roared, and the top of the mountain was so bright that it was impossible to see.

When the wind and clouds dissipated, the lightning sword fell to the ground, without any halo, as if it was scrap copper and iron, no longer sharp.

Li Chungang's whole body was charred, but he still stood up. He only had one breath left and refused to go back.

Tianyou's clothes were intact. He walked towards him with a spear in his hand and pierced the man's head with one spear, killing him instantly.

The heroes on the mountain top were horrified and there was a dead silence. It was only after Tianyou had left for a long time that there began to be a great uproar and discussions. Everyone started to get red-faced and refused to believe it.

After the news spread, everyone said that Tianyou killed Li Chungang with three shots and his fame spread throughout the world.

……

This letter contains a very detailed record of the battle at Hexian Mountain, and even includes an appendix that provides a deduction of the combat moves, techniques, and realms of both sides, as well as an assessment of their power.

Taoist Xuanyang has read the letter many times, but still finds it hard to believe.

"If it were me, without the magic sword, I would probably be shot to death."

He knew very well that Li Chungang, who had borrowed the power of the celestial phenomena, had definitely reached the half-step heavenly realm with his attack at that time. If it were him, he would have had to retreat.

But Lu Chengfeng broke it head-on, and more importantly, it was clearly written on the letter that the clothes were intact.

Such a result is truly shocking!

As for the subsequent battle with the Li family in Zhongdu, it was an even more naked massacre. No one could block Lu Chengfeng's shot, and blood flowed like a river wherever he passed.

Therefore, on the desks of various forces, only two words were used to describe the fate of the Li family: the end of the clan.

"Superb martial arts skills, and ruthless!" Taoist Xuanyang murmured. He didn't know much about Lu Chengfeng. Just the contents reflected on these letters made people see a man who was a genius, extraordinary martial arts skills, and ruthless.

Especially after Lu Chengfeng entered the Wanxiang Pagoda, everyone knew that a fierce battle had taken place, but they were not clear about the specific situation, especially what happened after Lu Chengfeng met Zhentian King.

"Did he meet the Heavenly King?"

"What did the two of you say to each other?"

Since Taoist Xuanyang received the news, he has been tossing and turning for several days, almost unable to sleep at night, with his heart full of contradictions and struggles.

"If you hand over the Fulong Rope, with Lu Chengfeng's cultivation and strength, he will be able to control the life and death of our Yuncang Sword Sect. Even if we don't respect him as the leader, he has the power of the leader. It's just a cover-up."

"Therefore, if we want to use this person to control the Fulongsuo, our Yuncang Sword Sect must respect this person as the headmaster."

"But can this person really be trusted?"

He paced back and forth, feeling very uneasy.

“In a few hours, he and Zhu Yuxian will arrive at Yuncang. Both the master and the disciple have achieved half-step heavenly beings. If they have any evil intentions, the thousand-year inheritance of our Yuncang Sword Sect will fall into the hands of the bad guys.”

"Well, this matter is not something I should be the only one to decide."

He couldn't make up his mind, sighed, and went to Huanglong Peak.

When he arrived at Huanglong Peak, he met Old Man Kuzhu and told him all his worries.

Elder Kuzhu was not worried at all, but said calmly: "At this critical moment of our sect's survival, inheritance should be the most important thing. As long as you can inherit the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, you will be my Yuncang disciple."

"As for who he is and what his background is, it doesn't matter."

"How can this be possible?" Taoist Xuan Yang frowned upon hearing this. "If the sect's inheritance falls into the hands of evildoers, how can we be worthy of the sect's founder?"

The old man looked at him and asked, "What is righteousness? What is evil? What is treachery? What is goodness?"

"We are all from the martial arts world. Who doesn't have blood on our hands? The Yuncang Sword Sect also seized control of Liangzhou under our control, plundering the resources of the state to supply the mountain."

"It's just that we have the output of Kunlongyuan, so we can eat better, but what qualifications do we have to talk about the distinction between good and evil?"

"Junior brother, is it really because you don't trust him that you don't want him to be the head?"

Before Taoist Xuanyang could speak, Old Man Kuzhu said in a somewhat indifferent tone: "The sect has been without a leader for decades, and the heads of each peak have monopolized power. I think you have become accustomed to a carefree life and don't want another powerful master to appear above you."

Taoist Xuan Yang was furious at these words, and felt that the most secret part of his heart had been exposed. He said in a sharp tone, "Brother, I am loyal to my sect. I will not hesitate even if I die for my sect. How can you say that to me?"

Elder Kuzhu was unmoved, "Whether it is true or not, you know it best in your heart. The foundation of the Yuncang Sword Sect is inheritance. As long as the inheritance is not lost, the sect will survive forever."

"As for whether the person who inherits the sect is trained, trusted, or selected by you, Xuan Yang, that is not important."

"You regard the sect as your own private property and want to designate the succession of the throne like the emperor."

Taoist Xuanyang's face turned pale, and his hand unconsciously placed on the hilt of the sword, with veins bulging.

“But once the sect is destroyed and Youdu invades, all the power you cling to now will vanish into thin air.”

"There are many people like you in the sect, clinging to power and being blinded by greed. Even though you know that a powerful enemy is coming and the sect is in danger of being overthrown, you still can't bear to sacrifice your own interests."

"We have neither the strength to defeat the enemy nor the will to perish together with them. We hold on to our own interests and have no idea how to advance or retreat. If no one else breaks the impasse, we will surely perish and become the laughing stock of the world."

Every word spoken by the old man Kuzhu was as sharp as a knife, stabbing Taoist Xuanyang and causing him to retreat several steps. He boasted that he worked day and night for the sect and was willing to sacrifice his life for it, but who would have thought that he would be evaluated like this? He was truly devastated.

"I'm not that bad, I'm just doing this for the sake of my sect's inheritance!"

But the old man Kuzhu said calmly, "It is only for the power you control to be passed down in the way you expected. If it is beyond your control, you will be uneasy and you will not know how to advance or retreat."

"If there hadn't been the disaster in Youdu, the appearance of this boy would have probably caused a strife within the sect."

"Now there is a powerful enemy pressing in, and the sect is in danger. You are still so hesitant. It is really disappointing!"

Taoist Xuanyang looked pale and did not speak for a long time.

His master was a celestial being of the previous generation in the sect. Although he did not achieve that status by using the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, he also made Qingyun Peak prosperous among the five inner peaks and its power grew.

Although the previous generation's head master was half a step away from becoming a god and practiced the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, he still had some power taken away from him.

In order to consolidate the position of the headmaster, the previous headmaster appointed the extremely talented Xun Shuijing as the young headmaster early on, so as to stabilize the sect's inheritance.

Unexpectedly, not long after the celestial being of Qingyun Peak fell, Xun Shuijing was surrounded and killed.

The undercurrent in this almost caused civil strife in the sect, so much so that Xun Shuijing's death became a taboo, and even his name was sealed and no one mentioned it again.

It is now difficult to find the truth as to whether what happened back then was the result of external enemy conspiracy, internal power struggle, or both.

It's just that the current sect leader has been in seclusion in Kunlongyuan for more than 20 years. Except for Xuanhe Peak, the four peaks and eight halls jointly manage the sect, which has gradually become commonplace for many people.

It is no longer clear who was right and who was wrong in those days!
The words of the old man Kuzhu were like a naked tearing off of the sect's fig leaf, making Taoist Xuanyang feel uneasy. "Brother, what is your intention? You can't just blame me, right?" Taoist Xuanyang was silent for a long time before finally calming down. At this point, there was no choice at all.

Elder Kuzhu said in a firm tone: "If you still care about the sect's inheritance and still care about the sect, you should respect Lu Chengfeng as the young sect leader. If he can survive the catastrophe, he should be respected as the sect leader and all five peaks should respect him together."

Taoist Xuan Yang said, "What if he is really a chess piece cultivated by Youdu?"

Old Man Kuzhu sighed, "If that's the case, even if you don't respect him as the young master, do you think you can save the sect? In any case, he has mastered the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, and the sect's heritage has not been cut off. There will always be a time for it to rise again in the future."

"What's more, he has a clean background. I don't believe he is a pawn of Youdu. Youdu would never use such a peerless evildoer as a pawn."

"With Lu Chengfeng's current strength, even if he was really a chess piece in the beginning, he would have his own ideas and goals now. As the head of the Yuncang Sword Sect, is he no better than being a dog for Youdu?"

Taoist Xuanyang had nothing more to say and left with his face covered.

An hour later, the four peaks and eight halls gathered together and had a fierce argument.

But with the firm support of Old Man Kuzhu, Taoist Xuanyang, and Du Hongyue, the head of the Fighting Hall, as well as the tremendous pressure from Youdu, they finally reached a consensus after a series of exchanges of interests.

……

Lu Chengfeng and Zhu Yuxian stopped at the reining stone at the foot of the mountain, and then walked up the mountain together. Not long after, they arrived at the mountain gate. They saw a towering white jade gate with evergreen pines and cypresses on both sides. Waterfalls cascaded down, converging into streams and pools, surrounding the mountain gate. The predecessors used this to open the Sword-Unlocking Pond and the Welcoming Pavilion.

In the past, this place must have been guarded and patrolled by disciples from the Mountain Guarding Hall to prevent invasion by foreign enemies.

However, when Lu Chengfeng and Zhu Yuxian arrived at the mountain gate, they couldn't help but be shocked.

In front of the open space at the mountain gate, the abbots of the four peaks and the eight hall masters gathered, followed by dozens of true disciples standing on both sides along the mountain path.

Everyone present was dressed in the sect's ceremonial robes, looking solemn and dignified. The invisible aura connected together made the birds in the sky dare not fly across the sky, and the wild beasts in the mountains dare not roar. The clouds were shattered, and the sky light was hanging. It was truly terrifying.

When Zhu Yuxian saw this situation, her heart suddenly moved, and soon she stopped as if she was thinking about something.

Before Lu Chengfeng could react, Zhu Yuxian gave him a subtle push from behind, allowing him to walk in front.

At this time, the heads of the four peaks and the great elders of the eight halls bowed their heads and held their swords. Dozens of true disciples in the sect knelt on one knee with their hands holding swords. Everyone shouted in unison, "We respectfully welcome the young master back to the mountain."

Lu Chengfeng was completely stunned. He really didn't expect such a scene to happen. He subconsciously turned around and glanced at Zhu Yuxian.

But I found that she was smiling and her eyes were full of joy.

Lu Chengfeng felt a little relieved. When he turned around, he heard the sect's golden bell ringing, echoing among the peaks for a long time.

The sect's high-ranking members who were kneeling at the mountain gate shouted continuously, and the shouts combined with the sound of the bells, resounding in all directions and shaking the mountains and forests.

The bell rang eight times, and the king bowed nine times, and the sound continued.

Lu Chengfeng had never experienced such a scene before. He felt his blood boiling, his energy rushing to his head, a surge of heroic spirit surging in his chest, and he felt indescribably happy and excited.

"No wonder so many people pursue power. This feeling is like drinking fine wine or having sex with a beautiful woman. It is truly intoxicating!"

This thought flashed through his mind, but his face showed a respectful expression, his true energy was surging, and his voice echoed clearly in everyone's ears.

"Disciple Lu Chengfeng is young and ignorant. How dare I take on this great position? How dare I accept this courtesy from my fellow disciples? Elders and fellow disciples, please stand up quickly."

When he said this, the golden bell had already rung eight times and the nine prostrations had been completed. According to the rules of the sect, the ceremony was complete.

Lu Chengfeng's words were mostly humble words, and also meant to test the attitude of the sect's top leaders towards him.

The four leaders in the lead stood up, and the disciples beside them brought trays one by one. They held them up in their hands and then walked towards Lu Chengfeng.

At the same time, a true disciple of Xuanhe Peak presented a tray to Zhu Yuxian. Zhu Yuxian took it with both hands and stood at the end of the four chief seats.

This all happened naturally, without any discussion or rehearsal. Lu Chengfeng saw it clearly and understood that from today on, Zhu Yuxian would be the head of Xuanhe Peak.

This is an attitude!

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and felt even happier.

At this time, Old Man Kuzhu was at the top, followed by Xuanyang, then the heads of Chixiao and Baihong peaks, and Zhu Yuxian was at the last.

The five people held the jade plate in both hands and came to Lu Chengfengshen Mountain.

The old man with withered bamboo took a step forward, holding a jade plate in his hand. On the seal was a carved red dragon surrounded by an iron chain, looking ferocious and fierce, as if it were a living creature.

His voice was like thunder, resounding in all directions.

"Now there is Lu Chengfeng, a disciple of Yuncang Xuanhe Peak, who is also a talented person in the sect."

"He has been extremely intelligent since he was young, quick-witted and studious, and he has learned everything about swords and Taoism. From the day he entered the sect, he has been diligent and self-motivated, working day and night without slacking off, aiming to reach the top and bring glory to the sect."

"He has a pure and kind nature, loves his fellow disciples, and is praised by everyone for his benevolence."

"And the speed at which they progress in their practice is astonishing. Some study the classics to comprehend their mysteries, while others practice swordsmanship to strengthen their skills. Their practice has deepened day by day, like bamboo shoots growing in spring, and their momentum is unstoppable."

"The elders of the sect all said: This boy is a natural talent, he will become a great man in the future."

"I have now mastered the sect's divine skill, the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword. The power of this sword is so great that it shakes the heavens and the earth; the magic of this sword is beyond the comprehension of ghosts and gods. With this sword, the sect is as stable as Mount Tai in defending the way. Its contribution is immeasurable."

"According to the ancestral system, he will be appointed as the young leader."

"The talent and virtue of riding the wind are enough to shoulder this heavy responsibility."

"Everyone in the sect is eagerly looking forward to this. This is what everyone wants!"

After saying that, the old man withered bamboo bowed, raised the red dragon seal on the tray, and said respectfully: "Young Sect Leader, please accept this jade seal, shoulder the heavy responsibility of the sect, and inherit the sect's inheritance. Do not refuse, which will hurt the elders' feelings and the wishes of your fellow disciples."

Lu Chengfeng said solemnly, "I am ashamed of what you said, elder. I am willing to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the sect with all the chief monks, and live up to the ancestors, the headmaster, and my fellow disciples."

The old man with withered bamboo replied, "Good!"

Lu Chengfeng then breathed a sigh of relief and took the seal respectfully.

Then the other four leaders came forward one by one, tied the young leader's sword, the Red Dragon, around his waist, presented him with the inherited jade pendant, and made him wear a five-colored lotus crown and a five-colored cloud brocade robe.

After Lu Chengfeng took them one by one, the sect members bowed three times from top to bottom before the ceremony was completed.

Lu Chengfeng entered from the mountain gate surrounded by a crowd of people. Along the way, disciples from the outer peaks greeted him respectfully with swords in hand. Whenever he arrived at a place, the disciples on both sides would extend their swords three inches out, making a buzzing sound, kneel on one knee, and call him Young Master.

From the mountain gate to Kunlongyuan, disciples from all the peaks kowtowed and the sound of swords continued.

When they arrived at the ancestral temple, Lu Chengfeng paid homage to the ancestor, offered incense, and officially became the young master of the Yuncang Sword Sect.

After all this trouble, it was already dark and all the disciples from various peaks had dispersed, leaving only five abbots and eight hall masters gathered in the Patriarch's Hall.

Lu Chengfeng knew very well that the reason why he was able to become the young master so smoothly was not only because he had mastered the power of the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, but more importantly, because Youdu was forcing the sect and the sect was in danger of overthrow.

They just want to push themselves out to avoid disaster!
At this time, the sect’s top leaders gathered together to discuss the next countermeasures.

It is now July 7th, and there are only a few days left until July 15th. Everyone present is worried and can hardly sit still.

After Lu Chengfeng paid his respects to the ancestor, he arrived at the hall. Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, a smile appeared on his face.

"All the elders are gathered here, Chengfeng is here to ask for advice!"

After saying this, a five-colored halo spread between his eyebrows, and in an instant a five-colored sword light rushed up, tearing the night sky apart. The sword light was sharp and as fast as thunderbolt, and with just a slight turn, it cut off a green water cloud bamboo leaf outside the hall and dropped it into its palm.

The green water cloud bamboo leaves were extremely tough and could not be damaged by sword energy. They were one of the precious materials for forging weapons, but they were easily cut off by a ray of sunlight.

Lu Chengfeng picked up the bamboo leaves and everyone in the room was speechless. Even though they had expected it, they still couldn't help being shocked and surprised.

The sword light was so sharp and swift that almost no one present could stop it.

After looking at each other, everyone laughed.

"It is indeed the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, and it is indeed a Half-Step Heavenly Man. Yun Cang can be saved!"

"Hahahahaha!"
