At this point, Mo Dalian sighed a few times, about to continue.

A waiter's loud voice called out from downstairs: "Five guests, please come in."

A loud voice rang out: "Waiter, five superior rooms, and a few of your signature dishes, bring them to our rooms."

Li Mu suddenly felt that the voice sounded familiar, and Master Mo probably felt the same way and looked over.

After a moment's thought, he said, "It seems to be Junior Brother Ding from the Songshan Sect."

Li Mu recalled Ding Mian's voice, and it really was him.

"Why is he everywhere? I wonder what he wants to do here at Mount Hua?"

Mo Da shook his head: "I don't know, but it's probably not a good thing."

Li Mu guessed that they were probably bringing the Sword Sect to Mount Hua to cause trouble. He wasn't worried, though; with Yue Buqun and his wife there, plus Linghu Chong, going up there would just be suicide missions.

As they were talking, the group followed the waiter to the second floor, whispering to each other as they went. With Li Mu and Master Mo's skills, even in the noisy inn, they could faintly make out the voices of the group.

There were five voices in total. Three were unfamiliar, and he couldn't recognize them. Of the remaining two, one was Ding Mian's, and the other made Mr. Mo's face gradually change color—he recognized the voice very well.

He couldn't help but sigh, "I'm ashamed to say that one of them is my junior brother Lu."

Li Mu suddenly realized that he also vaguely felt that the voice was familiar. He then remembered that this was Lu Lianrong, whom he had taught a lesson to a few years ago. His nickname in the underworld was Golden-Eyed Crow. He was talkative and disliked by everyone.

"No wonder it looked familiar, it turns out to be Uncle Lu."

Mr. Mo suddenly became restless.

"People from my Hengshan Sect have actually come. What is the matter that Junior Brother Lu is involved in?"

He glanced at Li Mu and said, "Nephew, why don't we do what those thieves do and go up to the rooftop to listen to what they're saying?"

Li Mu put down his wine cup: "That's exactly what I was thinking!"

Both of them were top-notch in both internal strength and lightness skills. After waiting for a while, it got completely dark outside. Downstairs, there was a sound of drinking and playing drinking games. The two of them floated up to the roof and found the room where the group was drinking. They sat down next to it.

As he channeled his inner energy, he faintly heard voices.

One of them said, “Don’t worry, Senior Brother Ding, our friends from the Taishan Sect have arrived. We’ll go up Mount Hua together.”

Ding Mian instructed, "Everyone, remember that we went up the mountain to reason with them and to stand up for the Sword Sect, not to fight. It's just that the Huashan Qi Sect is too outrageous, forcing the Sword Sect to this point. We, the Five Mountains Sword Sect, are of one mind and will seek justice for the Sword Sect. No matter how domineering Yue Buqun is, he can't say anything."

Clearly, Ding Mian was still shaken by Liu Zhengfeng's defeat at the hands of Li Mu on the day he retired from the martial arts world, and had given up any thought of using force. Moreover, there were the even more formidable Yue Buqun and his wife; he really didn't think he could defeat them even with the Sword Sect's help.

His main purpose in coming here was to cause some trouble and chaos for the Huashan Sect. He did not think that the Sword Sect could take over the Huashan Sect.

After listening for a while, Mo Da frowned and was surprised. He hadn't expected that the Huashan sword qi dispute, which had lasted for so many years, would be brought up again by the Songshan Sect.

After a short while, when nothing new was being discussed, the two flew down from the inn.

Li Mu said, "Uncle Mo, do you want to stay at my Mount Hua for a while longer? There's going to be a big show coming up."

Mr. Mo shook his head with a wry smile: "I won't go then, I'll leave tonight."

Li Mu exclaimed in surprise, "Tonight? So soon?"

Mr. Mo sighed: "I never expected Lu Lianrong to do such a thing. I'd better take him away to avoid further embarrassment."

Li Mu said, "That's fine too."

……

After the banquet, Lu Lianrong lay in bed. It was late at night, but he was wide awake. This trip to Mount Hua was a chance for him to turn his life around, a chance to make a name for himself and establish his reputation. He could not afford to fail.

After thinking for a while, Lu Lianrong gradually felt sleepy and was about to close his eyes and fall asleep.

Just then, the moon emerged from the clouds, and a sliver of moonlight shone through the window, illuminating the room and making it much brighter.

Lu Lianrong suddenly stiffened. Before he knew it, a thin figure was standing by the bed, silently watching him.

Lu Lianrong felt a jolt of fear, and his right hand instinctively reached for the longsword lying beside him. Suddenly, a series of blue lights flashed before his eyes, and in an instant, more than ten acupoints on his body were sealed. The cotton quilt covering him, however, remained intact, without the slightest tear.

His eyes widened, his face filled with horror.

A moment later, he recognized it as the signature move of the Hengshan Sect, "One Sword Shoots Down Nine Wild Geese," and realized that it was none other than his senior brother, the sect leader.

Just as he was about to get up and speak, he remembered that his acupoints had been sealed, rendering him unable to speak or move his hands and feet. He could only stare at Master Mo with a somewhat panicked look in his eyes.

Mr. Mo was too lazy to look at him anymore. He snorted coldly, reached out and lifted him up, and leaped out of the window. In just a few steps, he was already out of the inn's territory.

In the blink of an eye, it had vanished.

Li Mu watched Master Mo leave, not wanting to meet those people. The next morning, before dawn, he got up early and rode his horse towards Mount Hua.

In the Suoyoubuwei Pavilion, Yue Buqun listened to Li Mu's report on the situation in Hengyang Prefecture. Knowing that all the Jianghu people had retreated and that the Liu family was no longer in great danger with the Hengshan Sect's presence, he nodded in agreement.

Li Mu continued, "On my way back to the mountain, I met Master Mo Da in the vicinity yesterday."

Yue Buqun said, "Senior Brother Mo has been lingering on Mount Hua for many days. I never expected to run into you."

Li Mu said, "Not only Master Mo, but yesterday I also met Uncle Ding from the Songshan Sect, Uncle Lu from the Hengshan Sect, and several others who are said to be from my Huashan Sword Sect."

Yue Buqun was taken aback for a moment, then immediately became serious.

So Li Mu recounted how he had met Master Mo the previous night, climbed onto the roof, and eavesdropped on their conversation.

Yue Buqun snorted and said, "Senior Brother Zuo really won't let Mount Hua have any peace and quiet! It would be good to meet them."

Li Mu said, "They are now waiting for a senior uncle from the Taishan Sect. Once the person arrives, it is said that they will visit in the name of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. However, Senior Uncle Lu was taken away by Senior Uncle Mo overnight, so we don't know if there will be any changes."

Yue Buqun smiled calmly: "We'll meet force with force and water with earth. The Sword Sect was defeated more than 20 years ago. Now, with the help of Mount Song, they're stirring up this sword qi dispute. It's just a farce."

Li Mu said, "How about my senior brother and I go down the mountain and drive them away?"

Yue Buqun shook his head: "If it weren't for the support of the Songshan Sect, this would have been a farce. There's no need to drive them away. Let them finish their act, otherwise, who knows what other tricks they might have up their sleeves."

Li Mu nodded: "What Master said makes sense."

Yue Buqun sighed, "The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease!"

"Over the years, Senior Brother Zuo has always had the idea of ​​unifying the Five Mountains Sects. He said that only by merging the Five Mountains Sects can they stand alongside Shaolin, Wudang, and the Demonic Sect in the martial arts world. However, apart from his Songshan Sect, no one has ever agreed to this."

"When the Songshan Sect failed to persuade us, they began to recruit heretics in recent years, constantly plotting and scheming. Our Huashan, Hengshan, Hengshan, and Taishan sects have all been victims of their schemes. This so-called Sword Sect's return to Huashan to compete for the leadership is nothing more than preparation for the unification of the Five Mountains Sects."

He chuckled coldly, "If the Sword Sect's successor and I, Yue, are not handled properly in this struggle for the leadership of Mount Hua, what will people say when word gets out?"

"With the Songshan Sect adding fuel to the fire, could it be that our Huashan Sect has started an internal conflict?"

"He's doing this only to prepare for a forced merger in the future. How much damage can these rumors in the martial arts world do to our faction? Let's just watch his performance."

As he spoke, he suddenly took a deep breath and said, "For more than twenty years, Huashan has been tolerant in every way, and some people think that we are weak and easy to bully. Don't they know that today is different from the past? It is time to let them know the strength of Huashan and show Huashan's edge."

……

In the afternoon, upon learning that Linghu Chong was at the Cliff of Contemplation, Li Mu carried a jar of wine, a roast chicken, and two catties of braised beef, and hurried over there.

Before they even reached the destination, they heard what sounded like fighting coming from the summit. After walking several dozen feet, they saw Linghu Chong wielding a long sword, fighting with six strangely-looking people.

"These are the Six Immortals of Peach Valley!"

Linghu Chong, holding a long sword, moved leisurely around the six men, his sword flashing casually, often neutralizing their combined attacks.

"This is the Dugu Nine Swords technique being used."

Seeing this, Li Mu did not go forward to disturb them, but watched silently.

With the help of six people, the Peach Valley Six Immortals were able to hold on at first. However, as Linghu Chong's Dugu Nine Swords became more and more fierce, one sword after another, the formation formed by the six people was completely suppressed. The six people felt powerless to advance or retreat, and the more they fought, the more awkward they became.

After fighting for a while, one of them shouted, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting! We can't beat you!"

The six men retreated in unison, sheathing their weapons. Linghu Chong, holding his longsword, smiled faintly and said, "My six brothers, you have been defeated. Please descend the mountain."

One of them said, "We never said that if we lost, we would have to go down the mountain. Why should we go down the mountain? We won't go down, we won't go down."

The other person said, "We beat the little nun, and we promised to take you to see him, but you won't go. How can we get down the mountain?"

Linghu Chong said, "The six of you should go back. If there is an opportunity to go to Hengshan, I will explain things to Junior Sister Yilin."

One of them said, "No, no, we promised the little nun we would take you to see her."

Linghu Chong sighed helplessly, brandishing his longsword: "Since that's the case, let's have another fight."

This time, Linghu Chong held back and attacked first, focusing solely on offense and neglecting defense, fully displaying the essence of the Dugu Nine Swords.

The six men were constantly being subdued, and for a time they were in grave danger, which inevitably made them feel fearful.

The youngest one exclaimed, "Brothers! It's a ghost! It's a ghost! How come this kid is even stronger than before?"

The other man, while defending himself, said, "It's not a ghost, this kid might have had an epiphany."

The youngest one cried out, "We can't beat them! We can't beat them! Brothers, let's run!"

Make it look like you're ready to run away at any moment.

Another person said, "Okay, let's go, let's not fight anymore."

Another person asked, "What about the little nun?"

The youngest one shouted, "Let the little nun do it herself. She's a nun, and Linghu Chong won't fight her."

The man who asked the question suddenly realized and said, "Linghu Chong won't fight her, so the little nun won't lose. That means the little nun is even more powerful than us."

"Yes! Yes! The little nun is so capable, let her do it herself."
