The Prodigal Disciple of Mount Hua: Seizing All Opportunities

Someone pointed out the unconscious person.

Wang Jiaju jumped up, pointing at Linghu Chong on the ground and shouting, "Good! I knew your Huashan Sect wouldn't be so kind! See? It really was your Huashan Sect who did this!"

His shout drew everyone's attention.

The monk Yuankong also gathered around, looking at Linghu Chong with suspicion in his eyes: "Amitabha, Benefactor Chen, could this really be Linghu Chong, the eldest disciple of your Huashan Sect?"

Before Chen Qianyang could speak, Wang Jiaju shouted, "That's right! It's him!" as if he had seized upon some crucial evidence. "Look everyone! This is what they call a reputable sect!"

He pointed at Chen Qianyang, spitting as he spoke: "Tell me! Didn't you say your senior brother wasn't in Fuzhou? Why is he here? Why is he lying in the place where my uncle is being held?"

In my opinion, all of this is just a self-directed and self-acted ruse by your Huashan Sect!

What Qingcheng Sect? What Four Evils? You might have brought them all here! All for this Evil-Repelling Sword Manual!

"This Mu Gaofeng, you must have killed him to cover your tracks! You wanted to keep the sword manual for yourself!"

Although these words are illogical and full of conjecture, they are extremely inflammatory in this context.

The gazes of the surrounding powerful figures toward Chen Qianyang instantly turned hostile, and they all placed their hands on their weapons, seemingly poised to surround and attack him.

"You're talking nonsense!"

Yang Guo couldn't stand such slander. He stepped forward, blocking Chen Qianyang's path, and pointed at Wang Jiaju, cursing, "You stupid pig! Is your brain full of shit?"

If it was the Huashan Sect's doing, why did Brother Chen bring you here? Why did he help you fight the Four Evils?

If my brother Chen were after the sword manual, he could have easily kidnapped this pretty boy back at the escort agency before you even showed up.

"Who knows!" Wang Jiaju argued irrationally. "Maybe it's a dispute over the spoils? Maybe they want to use us to get rid of Mu Gaofeng? Anyway, Linghu Chong's presence here is irrefutable proof! Your Huashan Sect can't escape responsibility!"

Wang Jiaju wasn't stupid; he had already noticed Lin Pingzhi's hesitation.

His cousin clearly trusted Chen Qianyang and Guo Jing more than he did his older cousin.

If he can't drive away these Huashan Sect members, how can he take over everything from the Lin family?

Therefore, he had to resort to unreasonable arguments and use his influence to suppress others.

"You!" Yang Guo was so angry that he trembled all over, his fists clenched so tightly that they cracked, wishing he could smash that stinking face to pieces with one punch.

"What? Your secret has been exposed, and you want to kill me to silence me?" Wang Jiaju took a step back, hiding behind a servant, and shouted fiercely but weakly, "Everyone's watching here! You dare to lay a finger on me?"

Cousin! You saw it too! Those people from the Huashan Sect have no good intentions! They are the real culprits who harmed your parents!

Lin Pingzhi stood aside, looking at the unconscious Linghu Chong on the ground, then at the indifferent Chen Qianyang, his expression extremely complicated.

Although he is simple-minded, he is not completely stupid.

If it weren't for Chen Qianyang's protection, he would have died eight hundred times over along the way.

Guo Jing was seriously injured again because of his own efforts.

But Linghu Chong's appearance was indeed too strange.

In addition, the ugly girl from before was also a member of the Huashan Sect.

He had brought trouble upon himself because he saved that girl.

These people from the Huashan Sect have been lurking near Fuzhou City for a long time. What good intentions could they possibly have?

"Brother Chen... Brother Chen," Lin Pingzhi stammered, "what... what exactly happened? Your senior brother..."

Chen Qianyang slowly stood up.

He ignored Wang Jiaju's shouts and didn't rush to explain.

He simply surveyed the crowd with that calm gaze.

Finally, it landed on the face of Monk Yuankong.

"Does the master also think so?"

Yuan Kong avoided his gaze and clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, this matter is indeed full of doubts. If Young Hero Linghu does not provide a reasonable explanation for his appearance here, it will be difficult to convince the public."

The monk was wary of Guo Jing and the others' strength; otherwise, he would have already taken action to rob them. Now that he had the opportunity to slander the Huashan Sect, why would he speak up for Chen Qianyang?

That old bald monk is indeed an opportunist.

Chen Qianyang sneered.

"explain?"

He pointed at Linghu Chong on the ground, "My senior brother is seriously injured and on the verge of death. If we were to kill him to silence him, why not kill him too? Leave him alive for you to capture?"

"This..." Wang Jiaju was speechless, then tried to argue, "Perhaps it wasn't enough time? Perhaps Mu Gaofeng made a last-ditch effort?"

"Mu Gaofeng was killed with a single sword strike to the throat, without even a chance to resist," Chen Qianyang said coldly. "The person who could wield this sword strike must be far more skilled than Mu Gaofeng."

If my senior brother is the murderer, why doesn't he leave after killing someone? Why does he stay here and seriously injure himself?

He stepped forward, staring intently at Wang Jiaju, "Use your pig brain and think it over!"

This is clearly the work of a third-party expert!

They killed Mu Gaofeng, kidnapped Lin Zhennan and his wife, and seriously injured my senior brother!

My senior brother got beaten up like this because he was trying to save people!

Chen Qianyang's words were half true and half false, yet they were logically sound and carried an imposing tone.

Although it's also speculation, it's clearly much more plausible than what Wang Jiaju said.

Wang Jiaju was forced to retreat repeatedly, his face flushed red, but he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

"But," Lin Pingzhi asked weakly, "who exactly is he? Mu Gaofeng's martial arts are very high, and this Linghu... since he is Brother Chen's senior brother, his martial arts must also be quite good."

"I'd like to know too." Chen Qianyang turned to look at the deep darkness of the dilapidated temple. "But now, this is not the time to argue about it."

He bent down and carried the unconscious Linghu Chong on his back.

"My senior brother's injuries are critical and he needs immediate medical attention. As for the truth, we'll find out once he wakes up and ask him."

"No! You can't take him away!" Wang Jiaju exclaimed, blocking his way. "He's an important witness! He must be handed over to the Wang family for safekeeping!"

"Get out of here."

Chen Qianyang only said two words.

There were no unnecessary movements.

But the chilling killing intent emanating from him made Wang Jiaju feel cold all over.

Those were the eyes of someone who had truly killed and seen blood.

Wang Jiaju's legs went weak, and he involuntarily made way for her.

"Walk."

Chen Qianyang gave Yang Guo a wink, then, carrying Linghu Chong on his back, strode out of the dilapidated temple.

Yang Guo glared at Wang Jiaju and followed closely behind.

Monk Yuankong watched Chen Qianyang's departing figure, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, but in the end he did not make a move to stop him.

He also wanted to know the truth.

What's more, he also saw Chen Qianyang's hand gripping the hilt of the sword for that brief moment.

It was a resolute determination to be prepared to perish together with everything.

This kid dares to confront the Four Evils head-on; he's not someone to mess with.

Stepping out of the dilapidated temple, the night breeze caressed my face.

Linghu Chong, who was on his back, let out a painful groan.

Chen Qianyang felt his senior brother's faint heartbeat, but his heart was filled with icy coldness.

Although the palm wounds on Linghu Chong's body were disguised, he was all too familiar with them.

That was the residual internal energy of the Purple Cloud Divine Skill.

Although it was subtle and concealed, it was impossible for him to hide from someone who also practiced the Huashan Heart Sutra and possessed the [Sword Heart Clarity].

It was Yue Buqun who killed Mu Gaofeng with that sword.

It was Yue Buqun who injured Linghu Chong with that palm strike.

For the sake of that Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, for the sake of his so-called hegemony, has this "Gentleman Sword" finally been able to lay a hand on even his closest disciple?

What a cruel heart.

What a vicious scheme.

Chen Qianyang looked up at the dark night sky.

Master, it's about time you showed yourself.
