Wuxia: Ning Zhongze, who became a disciple of Mount Hua, is shrouded in blue silver.

Ning Zhongze knew that Zhao Qing's cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of the Acquired Realm.

How could Zhao Qing, a mid-stage cultivator in the Acquired Realm, possibly defeat Hua Wuque, a master of the Innate Realm? That's impossible.

"What are you talking about?"

Yue Buqun suddenly walked into the room.

The mother and daughter were both startled.

Yue Lingshan breathed a sigh of relief after recognizing Yue Buqun.

She immediately told Yue Buqun the whole story in detail.

After hearing this, Yue Buqun pretended to be calm on the surface, but was shocked inwardly.

He took the scroll from Yue Lingshan's hand and examined it carefully.

Ning Zhongze noticed that Yue Buqun's hands were trembling.

After watching the details of the duel, Yue Buqun remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was shocked and thought: Zhao Qing's martial arts are so strong!

His swordsmanship was already unpredictable, and now he's learned this lightning technique... This lightning technique must have been taught to him by Uncle Feng.

Yue Buqun began to doubt what Zhao Qing had said earlier.

Feng Qingyang's swordsmanship was both exquisite and unpredictable, a fact that Yue Buqun had known for a long time.

But he had never heard that Feng Qingyang was proficient in thunder magic.

Zhao Qing's martial arts skills have far exceeded Yue Buqun's expectations.

Feeling worried, Yue Buqun turned and left the room, heading straight for the Cliff of Contemplation.

We must master the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique as soon as possible; there is no other choice.

……

Embroidered jade valley, moved flower palace.

The palace was magnificent and resplendent.

A petite woman sat on the throne, exuding an imposing aura that made it difficult for anyone to look directly at her.

Her appearance was stunningly beautiful, like a fairy in a painting.

His eyes were icy, and his demeanor was as cold as ice.

A female disciple dressed in plain clothes knelt in front of the main hall, holding a scroll in her hands, and said respectfully.

"Palace Master, this is the Innate Ranking and a duel details recently released by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, which are related to the Young Master."

Yaoyue frowned slightly, raised her fingers lightly, and sucked the scroll into her hand from a distance.

Unroll the scroll, sharpen your eyes, and examine it carefully.

After reading it, Yaoyue, who was usually calm, frowned.

According to the records of Tianji Pavilion, Hua Wuque lost to Zhao Qing because of the peculiar cultivation technique that Zhao Qing practiced.

The Yihua Palace holds a prestigious position in the martial arts world, entirely due to its Yihua Jieyu martial art.

Now, a technique has emerged that can counter the Flower Shifting Technique, directly suppressing the Flower Shifting Palace's ultimate skill.

Yaoyue could no longer remain calm.

"Zhao Qing of the Huashan Sect... Thunder Magic..."

Yaoyue whispered that she was beginning to be interested in Zhao Qing.

As soon as she finished speaking, the maid felt a strong gust of wind.

When she looked up again, Yaoyue had already disappeared from the throne.

……

Mount Song.

Zuo Lengchan's face was gloomy.

The reason is Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing defeated Hua Wuque and replaced him as the thirteenth on the list of innate talents.

Zuo Lengchan already knew about this.

The Five Sacred Mountains Conference is about to be held, and he has been preparing for it for many years. He absolutely cannot allow it to fail.

However, the Huashan Sect encountered a series of misfortunes.

First there was Linghu Chong, a master swordsman, and now there's Zhao Qing.

Zuo Lengchan was not worried about Linghu Chong because his martial arts skills were inferior to his own.

But one thing is certain: his cultivation level is no match for the young master of the Yihua Palace.

Zuo Lengchan didn't know how high Zhao Qing's martial arts skills were, given that he could defeat Hua Wuque.

But Zhao Qing's martial arts skills are definitely no worse than his, and may even be stronger.

Zhao Qing's martial arts skills are completely different from Linghu Chong's; they do not use the same sword techniques.

Zhao Qing may have used the Lin family's Evil-Repelling Sword Technique.

"Are the rumors circulating before true?"

Zuo Lengchan became suspicious of Zhao Qing's martial arts skills.

A few days ago, he obtained the Lin family's Evil-Repelling Sword Technique through a spy from the Huashan Sect.

The Lin family's Evil-Repelling Sword Technique is not as powerful as the Songshan Sword Technique, which defies common sense.

Suddenly, the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual appeared in bookstores.

Zuo Lengchan bought it for comparison and found that the version on the market had eight extra characters: "If you want to practice this skill, you must first castrate yourself."

Zuo Lengchan suspected that the sword manual was fake.

Zhao Qing's appearance made him even more hesitant.

If the sword manuals on the market are genuine, then the one he has is fake.

But it's also possible that someone deliberately gave him a fake sword manual.

If that's the case, his undercover identity within the Huashan Sect has been exposed.

After much deliberation, Zuo Lengchan made a decisive decision: "The Five Mountains Assembly must succeed!"

"No one can stop Zuo Lengchan's plan!"

"Tell Laudenau that he went to test Lin Pingzhi's martial arts skills!"

Zuo Lengchan immediately ordered his men to contact Laudenuo.

The method to distinguish the authenticity of the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual is very simple—just find a practitioner and test it to determine its authenticity.

The Evil-Repelling Sword Manual is now widely circulated. Although not everyone has it, anyone who can afford it has certainly obtained it.

Lin Pingzhi, burdened by deep hatred, knew that the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual was circulating in the world and would definitely try to obtain it.

After obtaining the sword manual, Lin Pingzhi will likely risk practicing this forbidden sword manual.

If Lin Pingzhi's martial arts skills suddenly improved significantly, then he must have already practiced the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, and it is very likely that he has castrated himself to practice the skill.

Why am I so sure? Because Zuo Lengchan has always practiced the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual without self-castration, which is significantly less powerful.

If the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual truly requires self-castration to master, Zuo Lengchan must decide whether he should take action...

……

Los Angeles.

Zhao Qing led Ren Yingying and Huang Rong to Luocheng.

After traveling all day, the three found an inn to rest.

As soon as Zhao Qing entered the inn, he heard his neighbors talking.

"Zhao Qing of the Huashan Sect has made rapid progress in martial arts; he must have obtained the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual."

"That's right, the sword manual disappeared after the Lin family massacre."

Everyone knows that the Huashan Sect took it.

"Zhao Qing's swordsmanship was already very powerful, and with the addition of the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, it's normal for his martial arts to improve by leaps and bounds."

"But does the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual truly exist, or is it merely a legend?"

"Whether it's real or fake, do you still want to practice?"

"I can assert that this is true."

"I won't lie to you, I have a friend who works in the palace and saw it with his own eyes."

"Are you telling the truth?"

"It's absolutely true! He said that he used this sword manual to break through from the Acquired Realm to the Innate Realm in just five days!"

"You're also a master who has achieved mastery through training. Your friend..."

Hearing the crowd's discussion, Zhao Qing's lips twitched slightly.

Ren Yingying and Huang Rong tried their best to hold back their laughter.

Everyone believed that Zhao Qing's martial arts skills had improved so quickly entirely because he had practiced the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual.

The master ranked thirteenth on the list of innate talents was actually called a eunuch.

Rumors are circulating in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas that Zhao Qing is a eunuch...

Zhao Qing walked into the inn with a gloomy face, surrounded by people whispering among themselves.

Zhao Qing had no desire to accept the title of "eunuch".

He couldn't defend himself; the more he explained, the more guilty he seemed.

Unable to clarify, should he be forced to strip naked in public to prove his innocence?

Zhao Qing decided to let them talk as they pleased.

That night, a fierce fight broke out in Zhao Qing's room.

……

Tianji Pavilion.

A spy rushed into the main hall, knelt on one knee, and handed over a secret report.

"Reporting, Deacon, latest intelligence."

"Zhao Qing of the Huashan Sect, together with Hua Wuque of the Yihua Palace, Linghu Chong of the Hengshan Sect, Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian of the Sun Moon Cult, defeated the cult leader Dongfang Bubai!"

The deacon immediately took the confidential report and read it carefully.
