Someone comforted him, saying, "Brother, you don't need to worry. The leader of the Demonic Cult, Dongfang Bubai, is known as the number one martial artist in the world. Even if Ren Woxing makes a comeback, it won't be so easy for him to become the leader."

"They might just die. Even if they don't, they'll probably have to go back and recover."

Everyone agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "That's right. No matter how powerful Ren Woxing is, if he could defeat Dongfang Bubai and reclaim the position of sect leader, he might just lose his life this time."

"That's right! If Ren Woxing had that ability, he wouldn't have lost his position as leader back then. He couldn't beat him before, so naturally he can't beat him now."

After talking for a while, everyone felt that this was very likely, and they began to discuss the topic.

After leaving the tavern, Li Mu returned to Mount Hua, where news of the Five Mountains Alliance was spreading like wildfire.

On Mount Hua, however, all was peaceful. When Yue Lingshan saw Li Mu return, she ran over with a joyful expression.

"Seventh Senior Brother, practice swordsmanship with me."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Alright, shall we practice the Jade Maiden Nineteen Swords again this time?"

Yue Lingshan said with a proud look, "Hmm! Mother said that once I've mastered the Jade Maiden Nineteen Swords, she'll teach me a new sword technique?"

Li Mu teased her deliberately, "New sword technique? Which sword technique?"

Yue Lingshan said, "Take a guess?"

Li Mu feigned ignorance and asked, "The Yangwu Sword?"

Yue Lingshan said, "No."

Li Mu then asked, "Could it be the Xi Yi Sword?"

Yue Lingshan glared at Li Mu and said in a coquettish voice, "Seventh Senior Brother... I was talking about how Mother taught me swordsmanship, not how Father taught me swordsmanship."

Li Mu chuckled and said, "The Jade Maiden Nineteen Swords, unparalleled and unmatched, the Ning Clan's One Sword, and my master's wife's signature sword technique, the Lady's Sword..."

"You have already learned the Nineteen Jade Maiden Swords. Do you want me to teach you the Unparalleled Ning Clan Sword?"

Yue Lingshan pouted and said coquettishly, "Seventh Senior Brother..." drawing out her voice.

Li Mu feigned sudden realization: "Your master's wife is planning to teach you her signature sword technique, the Lady's Sword!"

Yue Lingshan snorted smugly, "Once I learn the Lady's Sword, when I roam the martial world, everyone who sees me will call me Lady Yue."

Li Mu laughed heartily and said, "Alright, let me meet the future renowned Heroine Yue."

Yue Lingshan gave a haughty snort: "Seventh Senior Brother, this time you're going to use a sword technique I've never seen before."

Li Mu said, "Alright, Miss Yue, please make your move."

Yue Lingshan didn't stand on ceremony. She drew her sword and thrust it forward. Li Mu used a set of sword techniques widely known in the martial arts world to practice his moves on her.

The essence of this set of Jade Maiden Nineteen Swords lies in its unpredictable and wondrous variations, which is quite different from the school's method of emphasizing the control of swords with qi.

Although there are only nineteen moves, each move is complex and varied. If you don't remember them well, you won't be able to perform even one move correctly.

At the same time, this sword technique has another characteristic: it is specifically designed to counter various sword techniques. As long as you frequently use certain sword techniques to practice moves, you will be able to counter those techniques.

This is quite similar to the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword of the Ancient Tomb Sect, but the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword is specifically designed to counter the Quanzhen Sword Technique.

Previously, Li Mu often saw his master Yue Buqun practicing swordplay for his mistress Ning Zhongze. His master would use different sword techniques from various schools to attack, but his mistress would always parry with the "Nineteen Forms of the Jade Maiden Sword".

As Ning Zhongze became more and more familiar with Yue Buqun's swordsmanship, they would sometimes spar, and with her nineteen forms of the Jade Maiden Sword, she fought Yue Buqun to a standstill.

The disciples were mesmerized and greatly amazed.

Of course, this is under the condition that the two people suppress their internal energy to the same level.

Later, when the junior sister learned the Jade Maiden Nineteen Swords, her master Yue Buqun specifically instructed her not to use the Huashan Swordplay to practice the Jade Maiden Nineteen Swords moves every day, otherwise the Jade Maiden Nineteen Swords would eventually become a counter to the Huashan Swordplay.

You should find more popular sword techniques in the martial arts world, or sword techniques from other schools.

In this regard, among the Huashan disciples, Li Mu and Linghu Chong, who are already able to walk down the mountain, are the best to be counted. Usually, it is the two of them who train Yue Lingshan.

Putting aside everything else, the Five Sacred Mountains stone carvings on Siguo Cliff alone would be enough for Yue Lingshan's Jade Maiden Nineteen Swords to use for several years.

After practicing with Yue Lingshan for more than half an hour, Yue Lingshan felt her Jade Maiden Nineteen Swords becoming increasingly refined, and her confidence soared: "Seventh Senior Brother, shall we have a sparring match without using internal energy?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Okay!"

Yue Lingshan's longsword trembled, producing a soft hum, and she unleashed the nineteen sword techniques of the Jade Maiden Sword in a flowing motion.

The sword's edge hissed and crackled wherever it pointed, much to Li Mu's surprise!

Before anyone knew it, Junior Sister Yue Lingshan's swordsmanship had reached such a level. No wonder Master's wife Ning Zhongze planned to teach her the Lady's Sword Technique.

Li Mu didn't want to defeat her in a few moves, so he simply treated it as a way to hone his swordsmanship and leisurely unleashed a set of Yangwu Sword techniques.

This sword technique emphasizes non-competition; the sword light never strays more than three feet from the person's body. For a time, the two fought quite well.

After a short while, Li Mu won by a small margin, ending the sparring match under Yue Lingshan's suspicious gaze, who felt he had deliberately let him win.

Back in the courtyard, Li Mu continued his usual routine of drinking tea and reading.

Today he was reading a book called "The Deadly Three Immortal Swords" that he had just borrowed from Yue Buqun. It was a famous sword technique of their sect. The book seemed to be quite old, and it contained many annotations from senior masters.

Although the sword technique consists of only three moves, they are executed in a continuous, seamless sequence, making it a rare and deadly move.

By the time Li Mu reached this level, all the martial arts of the Huashan Sect were already open to him. Some time ago, he even found a Taiyue Sanqingfeng technique to practice, which is also a well-known sword technique.

Not only that, but in the past year or two, Li Mu had more free time, so he even went so far as to study the sword manuals for his master's wife Ning Zhongze's Jade Maiden Nineteen Swords and Lady Sword. There were also all sorts of miscellaneous martial arts secrets on Mount Hua, and even some sword techniques. After all, it was a major sect with hundreds of years of history, which broadened Li Mu's knowledge and horizons considerably.

Chapter 568 Fengchan Terrace

Amidst the turmoil in the martial world, Li Mu remained calm.

There was no other reason than that he had been in this world for nearly ten years, and his so-called mission was already completed. As long as it didn't endanger the Huashan Sect or the Fuwei Escort Agency, he was somewhat indifferent to many things, even showing a lack of desire.

The only thing I still have a little pursuit of is martial arts.

That day, Li Mu was strolling down the mountain, also inspecting the area around Mount Hua. When he reached the border between Shaanxi and Henan provinces, he was about to enter a teahouse when two men quickly came to greet him.

The man in front was short and stout, with a sallow and swollen face, and looked to be about fifty years old. His hands were small and thick with a lot of fat. Behind him was a young man, who, judging from his attire, belonged to the Songshan Sect.

The man in front asked with a smile, "Are you Junior Nephew Lin from the Huashan Sect?"

Li Mu asked, "And who are you two?" He already had a guess in his mind.

The young man stepped forward and introduced himself: "Senior Brother Lin, I am Chu Qing, and this is my Uncle Yue from the Songshan Sect."

Indeed, Li Mu cupped his hands and said, "So it's Uncle-Master Le Houle, the Great Yin-Yang Hand, and Junior Brother Chu Qing. Uncle-Master, is there something you need?"

Knowing that Li Mu was a powerful figure, Le Hou dared not put on airs and said very politely, "It's nothing. I heard that my nephew is an outstanding person with a handsome appearance, so I came to meet him."

Li Mu smiled faintly, saying he didn't believe Li Mu's claim of coming specifically to see him. Although Li Mu's whereabouts were public knowledge, waiting for him here wouldn't be easy; it would require considerable thought and effort.

"Uncle-Master, you're too kind. Is everything alright?"

Le Hou hesitated for a moment before saying, "There is something I would like to trouble you with, my nephew."

Li Mu said, "Please speak."

Le Hou opened his mouth: "Um... Alliance Leader Zuo wants to see you."

Li Mu was taken aback; Zuo Lengchan wanted to see him.

It sounds a bit strange at first, but it makes perfect sense in a little bit.

After all, the strength he displayed, whether it was fighting Ding Mian and Fei Bin alone in Hengyang City, or killing the two heroes of the northern desert and the famous camel of the northern frontier, Mu Gaofeng, was impossible for anyone to ignore.

They've already gained the power to be won over and divided.

This is also why Zuo Lengchan was unaware that Yue Buqun's martial arts had already broken through to a higher level, even surpassing his own. Once he knew, he would no longer have the mind to deal with such matters.

"It's an honor for me, Master Zuo, to actually want to see me. May I ask what business Master Zuo has with me?"

With a smile, Le Hou said, “Our Five Mountains Sword Sects are of one mind and one branch. I heard that when my junior nephew went down the mountain to travel, he went to the Northern Mountain Hengshan and the Southern Mountain Hengshan, but forgot about the Central Mountain Songshan. The scenery of my Songshan is also unique and can be seen by my junior nephew.”

Li Mu smiled and said, "I know that the scenery of Mount Song is excellent, but the timing is not right now. In a few months, when the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance is held, that will be the best time to view the scenery."

Le Hou cupped his hands and said, "Nephew, Alliance Leader Zuo has heard that our Five Mountains Sword Sect has produced a young genius, but has never had the chance to meet him, which is a great pity."

"He specifically asked me to invite my nephew up the mountain for a chat; please do not refuse!"

Li Mu said, "Why bother my uncle with making the trip? When the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance is held, I will naturally go to Mount Song."

Le Hou continued, cupping his hands in greeting, "Nephew, my senior brother Zuo really has something to discuss with you. He asked me to invite you over. If there's anything you need, I'll do it for you. Just name your terms."

Li Mu was speechless; this guy had stuck with him.

He didn't think going to Mount Song was a big deal; it was just a way to win people over and sow discord, or perhaps to use some underhanded tactics.

He was still somewhat confident in his own safety. Even if he faced Zuo Lengchan, his internal strength might be lacking, and with the Dugu Nine Swords, it was hard to say whether he would win in a real fight, but he was more than capable of protecting himself.

Moreover, his reliance wasn't just on martial arts skills; he also possessed a ten-cubic-meter spatial dimension. He had long realized the dangers of the martial world. Over the years, using the channels of the Fuwei Escort Agency, he had collected a considerable number of weapons within his space.

Before his last mission to destroy the Qingcheng Sect, to ensure everything went smoothly and avoid any mishaps, he made further preparations, acquiring a considerable number of powerful weapons as backup.

For example, dozens of crossbows with their strings cocked can pierce cowhide from 150 paces away, and with his martial arts skills, he can hit the bullseye almost every time within 100 paces.

We also prepared a lot of various hidden weapons, including unusual and poisoned ones, enough to keep us busy for half a day.

He also prepared several sets of full-body armor, which he could use if necessary.

They also obtained a considerable amount of powerful gunpowder from the Shenji Battalion, which they made into explosive packs so they could be used when necessary.

There are also some miscellaneous pieces of equipment. Even if you encounter Dongfang Bubai, you might not be able to defeat him or catch up with him, but you can still protect yourself for a short time.

Mount Song is not a place that one can come and go freely, nor is it considered dangerous.
