Chapter 68 Dongshan Sword Sect
"Whirlwind Willow Sword?" Gu Mo was puzzled.

"Yes," Zhuo Qingfeng said, "When I first entered the Six Gates, I followed my master around the world. Basically, I have been to all the famous sects in the entire Yunzhou and witnessed the unique skills of each sect.

The Dongshan Sword School is most famous for its Cloud and Mist Illusion Sword, followed by its Whirlwind Brushing Willow Sword. The Cloud and Mist Illusion Sword emphasizes the word "illusion". The sword shadow is like fog, which can confuse the opponent's vision, disturb his mind, and make him have the illusion of path and distance, as if he is trapped in a maze.

The Whirlwind Willow Sword and the Cloud and Mist Illusion Sword share similar characteristics, both aiming to confuse the opponent. A single strike is light, followed by a double strike, followed by a final killing blow. The Whirlwind Willow Sword is incredibly difficult to defend against, striking directly at the opponent's vital points, confusing them. It's actually a feint, with the focus on the second strike. However, the second strike also aims to confuse the opponent, striking at their vital points with significant force. However, the true killing move is yet to come. Once the second strike is blocked, the user will employ footwork to escape, paralyzing the opponent, causing them to let down their guard and think they've run out of tricks, when in reality, the killer is yet to come.

Gu Chudong asked, "But, Mr. Ma's body was covered in wounds. How can you be sure it was caused by the Whirlwind Willow Sword?"

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "The other party was too anxious. He must have known we were investigating and deliberately rushed to kill Ma Jichang before us. To avoid revealing his whereabouts, he inflicted many wounds on Ma Jichang's body to hide his presence. But he was unlucky. I once sparred with Senior Zhao Congwu, the head of the Dongshan Sword Sect. I lost to him using the Whirlwind Willow Sword, and I was so confused. So, I deliberately stayed in the Dongshan Sword Sect for a long time, pondering the Whirlwind Willow Sword for a long time, and only left after I broke it. I was deeply impressed."

Gu Chudong asked in surprise, "Is the leader of the Dongshan Sword Sect so powerful? He can actually defeat you?"

Zhuo Qingfeng chuckled and said, "It would be strange if you couldn't beat me. You two brothers and sisters have been in Linjiang County and don't know much about Qingyang County. The Dongshan Sword Sect is one of the four leading sects in the Qingyang County martial arts world.

Qingyang County is different from our Linjiang County. Linjiang County is where several major rivers converge, and business is prosperous. Relatively speaking, families, business houses, etc. are the main forces in Linjiang County.
However, Qingyang County is different. The mountains in Qingyang County are undulating and the terrain is uneven. It has been prone to banditry since ancient times. The government's management is also very restricted, and the people are fierce. Therefore, there are many martial arts sects, each occupying the mountain, fighting for territory, and dividing power.

Among the numerous martial arts sects, the Four Directions Sword Sect is at the forefront. These four sects share the same lineage and have always been closely connected. To some extent, they can be considered the martial arts alliance of Qingyang County. They are the Dongshan Sword Sect, the Xichuan Sword Sect, the Beihu Sword Sect, and the Nanhai Sword Sect. The Dongyue Sword Sect is the leader among them, so you can imagine its status!

Gu Mo nodded and said, "I have an impression of the Four Sword Sects you mentioned. It is said that the leaders of these four sects are brothers."

"Yes," Zhuo Qingfeng said, "I once heard from Senior Zhao Congwu of the Dongshan Sword Sect that the four of them learned their martial arts in Qingzhou. Their master was a reclusive master who only accepted them as disciples. Later, after their master passed away, the four of them came to Qingyang County to establish their own sects. Although the four of them all learned the Cloud and Mist Illusion Sword, each of them learned it differently. There are rumors in the martial arts world that the Cloud and Mist Illusion Sword of the four sects is a combined attack skill, and the four sect leaders can defeat a master together!"

Gu Chudong asked in confusion, "Then why did they establish their own sects separately? Why don't they join forces? Even if the four of them established their own sects separately, they could still become the leading sect in Qingyang County. If they joined together, wouldn't they be the top sect in all of Yunzhou?"

Zhuo Qingfeng smiled and said nothing more.

Gu Mo explained softly, "In early winter, people's hearts are complicated. No matter how good the relationship is, once interests are mixed in, it is best to separate. If you get involved together, it is easy to end up not communicating with each other for the rest of your life."

Gu Chudong frowned and said, "But aren't the four of them brothers?"

"Even brothers can become enemies, let alone fellow disciples?" Gu Mo said.

Gu Chudong was silent.

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's get down to business. Just now, when I looked at Ma Jichang's body, I deduced that the murderer used the Whirlwind Willow Sword. The tilt and position of the fatal wound suggest he was most likely left-handed. Also, I reviewed the scene of Ma Jichang's murder. From his height and seat position, I can infer that the murderer was about eight feet tall (based on the Han Dynasty). There was a tiny footprint on the windowsill, so he weighed about 130 kilograms."

Gu Chudong asked, "He's eight feet tall and weighs 130 kilograms. He's not fat, but didn't Young Master Ma say he was a very bloated person?"

"Disguise." Zhuo Qingfeng said, "The other party must have stuffed something in his clothes, or he is wearing too big clothes. This further proves that he knows a lot of people in Fang County, so he needs to hide it. The Dongshan Sword Sect is located in Fang County. The other party can use the Whirlwind Willow Sword, so his status in the Dongshan Sword Sect must be high."

immediately,

A few of them headed straight for Dongshan Sword Sect and arrived the next morning.

The Dongyue Sword School is located on a steep mountain on the border of Fang County. No one remembers its original name. After the Dongyue Sword School was established here, the mountain was renamed Dongyue Mountain. The mountain is majestic and looks like a coiled dragon.

When Gu Mo and his sister and Zhuo Qingfeng arrived at the gate of Dongshan Sword Sect, they found that the sect was decorated with lights and was in a festive mood. There was a constant stream of people at the gate, and many people from the martial arts world went up the mountain in groups of three or five.

Upon asking, he learned that the leaders of the other three sects of the Four Directions Sword Sect had come to the Dongshan Sword Sect in person, and each of them brought their most promising disciples to compete in a martial arts competition. The four sects were of the same origin and very close to each other, and they would hold a martial arts competition every year to allow their disciples to communicate with each other.

For other martial arts forces, this is a rare opportunity. Many sects will let their young disciples come to broaden their horizons. Of course, the four sects' martial arts competition is also a disguised way for the four sword sects to show off their muscles.

However, in previous years it was held at the end of the year, but this year it was held so far in advance.

As soon as Gu Mo and his companions parked the carriage, they prepared to go to the side to register. After all, the carriage and the horses needed to be looked after by the people of Dongshan Sword Sect. In addition, Dongshan Sword Sect also needed to maintain order, so naturally they needed to register before being allowed to go up the mountain.

However, what Gu Mo and his companions did not expect was that Zhuo Qingfeng was recognized as soon as they arrived at the registration office.

He was a middle-aged man with a slender figure and a gaunt face. His three long strands of beard fluttered in the wind, adding a touch of elegance to his demeanor. His eyes were gentle and peaceful. When he saw Zhuo Qingfeng, he was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "Master Zhuo, you..."

"shush"

Zhuo Qingfeng immediately whispered, "Brother Zuo, I was on a mission and passed by here, so I thought of visiting your master. It's inconvenient to expose myself."

The middle-aged man surnamed Zuo quickly said, "I understand, I understand. Then come with me and I'll take you up the mountain." Zuo Yue looked at Gu Mo and Gu Chudong and asked, "Who are these two?"

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "Gu Mo, the Linjiang Sword Master, and his sister Gu Chudong." After that, Zhuo Qingfeng introduced Gu Mo and Gu Chudong, saying, "This is the Dongshan Sword School's senior brother, Zuo Yue!"

Zuo Yue had heard of Gu Mo's name before, and he quickly said, "So this is the Gu Mo who killed the Silver Fox. My apologies, Master Gu, Master Gu, and Miss Gu, please come in!"

"Master Zuo, excuse me!"
