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

Zhao Qing stood up and walked towards Ning Zhongze, handing her the kettle and saying that.

"Master's wife, are you thirsty? Have some water."

"I'm not thirsty."

Ning Zhongze refused outright.

Zhao Qing boldly squeezed in between Ning Zhongze and Yue Buqun to sit down.

There was originally only a small space between the couple, but as soon as Zhao Qing sat down, Yue Buqun was pushed to the side.

Yue Buqun was furious and glared at Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing completely ignored him and grabbed Ning Zhongze's hand, saying, "Master's wife, don't lie."

"Your lips are dry, and you still say you're thirsty? Drink up."

Ning Zhongze panicked; she clearly saw the murderous intent in Yue Buqun's eyes.

Looking at Zhao Qing again, he feigned innocence, and Ning Zhongze couldn't tell whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally.

But Yue Buqun was certain that Zhao Qing was deliberately provoking him!

Yue Buqun immediately gripped the Changhong Sword tightly!

Zhao Qing turned around and saw Yue Buqun's face was red. He asked directly.

"Master, your face is so red, is there something wrong with your practice?"

Yue Buqun suppressed his anger and said coldly, "It's nothing."

"It's time, let's go."

Unable to bear this humiliation, Yue Buqun immediately led his men to set off.

He didn't want to watch Zhao Qing and Ning Zhongze flirting anymore, afraid he wouldn't be able to control his emotions.

None of the other disciples of the Huashan Sect slept well.

But their master had given the order, so they dared not say anything more and quickly followed the group.

Linghu Chong stopped in a small town with the female disciples of the Hengshan Sect.

They had traveled a long way and were both hungry and thirsty.

They found a dilapidated ancestral hall in town, lit a fire, cooked, and rested.

……

Hengshan School.

"Brother Linghu!"

Hearing someone call his name, Linghu Chong immediately turned around.

The visitor was Yilin from the Hengshan Sect.

Yilin was not at Hengshan Sect before; she was out on business.

"Junior Sister Yilin, how are those two junior sisters doing now?"

Linghu Chong immediately asked, referring to the two junior sisters who had been captured by the Huashan Sect.

"I was just about to tell you this."

Yilin said with difficulty, "After you went to Blackwood Cliff, the junior sisters sent Bu Ke Bu Jie to Mount Hua to gather information."

"But several days have passed, and there's still no news."

"Later, I found the body of Bu Ke Bu Jie near Mount Hua..."

Linghu Chong's expression changed drastically: "What?"

"Tian Boguang's lightness skill is excellent; he's difficult to detect when gathering information, and even if he is, he can escape. How could he...?"

"Tian Boguang's wounds were not caused by the Huashan sword technique."

Yilin hurriedly said.

After thinking for a moment, Linghu Chong said, "Something must have happened at Mount Hua, and it's related to my junior brother!"

Yilin then said, "Brother Linghu, I know two more things."

"What is it?"

Linghu Chong asked anxiously.

He was in Hengshan, but he was always worried about Huashan.

"Your junior brother defeated Hua Wuque of the Yihua Palace and is now very famous. He is ranked thirteenth on the Tianji Pavilion's Innate Ranking."

"As a result, the Huashan Sect became famous, and many people went to become its disciples."

"Sect Leader Yue is very happy. He has taken on many disciples. The Huashan Sect is doing very well now."

"but……"

Yilin stopped, looking very embarrassed.

Linghu Chong urged, "Just say it, it's okay!"

Seeing his anxiety, Yilin continued.

"However, when Zhao Qing returned to Mount Hua, he brought two women with him."

"One of them was Ren Yingying, a girl from the Sun Moon Sect. He said that Miss Ren had already married him."

Yilin looked at Linghu Chong with concern.

Linghu Chong said very calmly, "I know about this. Yingying didn't do it willingly; she was forced."

"My junior brother also went astray and his personality changed."

"He will be attending the Five Sacred Mountains Conference this time, and we must deal with him then."

Yilin clearly saw that Linghu Chong's eyes were filled with murderous intent, which was terrifyingly cold.

She had never seen Linghu Chong so terrifying.

Yilin was very worried, fearing that Linghu Chong had also changed his personality.

"Is there anything else?"

Linghu Chong asked.

"It's about the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual. Recently, many bookstores in the city have been selling this sword manual."

"All bookstores are selling it; now everyone in the martial arts world knows about the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual."

"To practice the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, one must first castrate oneself."

Yilin blushed as she said this.

This condition was something she found difficult to talk about.

Linghu Chong asked directly, "Does one have to castrate oneself before practicing this sword technique?"

"Brother Linghu, you know about this too?" Yilin asked in surprise.

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head.

Linghu Chong realized she had misunderstood and immediately explained, "My swordsmanship is not the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique; I heard it from the people of Blackwood Cliff."

"The Evil-Repelling Sword Technique comes from the Sunflower Manual, which was created by a eunuch."

"To practice the Sunflower Manual, one must first castrate oneself."

Yilin understood: "So that's how it is..."

After a while, Yilin said again, "Brother Linghu, there have been many rumors about Sect Leader Yue and your junior brother lately."

"What rumor?"

Linghu Chong asked anxiously.

"The Evil-Repelling Sword Technique has reappeared in the martial arts world. Everyone thinks that your junior brother's martial arts have suddenly become stronger, so he must have learned this sword technique."

"The first person to steal the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique was most likely Sect Leader Yue, so..."

"Therefore, many people suspect that both Sect Leader Yue and Zhao Qing have learned the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique."

Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "Nonsense!"

"Although my junior brother's personality has changed, his swordsmanship is still powerful and fierce; it's definitely not the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique!"

"As for my master, he is an upright man. How could he possibly steal and practice the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique?"

Linghu Chong didn't believe it at all; his guess was only half right.

Zhao Qing indeed did not learn the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique.

But Sect Leader Yue...

He himself was the one who stole and practiced the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique back then!

In the afternoon, Linghu Chong had already arrived at the foot of Mount Song.

They climbed the mountain directly, and when they reached the halfway point, four disciples from Mount Song came to greet them.

The four disciples from Mount Song were very polite and respectful.

"We are the juniors of the Songshan Sect, and we respectfully welcome Sect Leader Linghu of the Hengshan Sect."

"Master Zuo has been waiting on the mountain for a long time."

They continued, "The senior and junior disciples from the Taishan and Hengshan sects arrived yesterday."

"The martial arts brothers and sisters of the Huashan Sect arrived safely half an hour ago."

"It is an honor for our Songshan Sect to have Sect Leader Linghu and all the senior sisters here today."

Linghu Chong replied with a smile, "My fellow disciples from Mount Song are too kind. Please lead the way."

Led by the disciples of Songshan, Linghu Chong and the others continued up the mountain.

The mountain road was very clean, and every few miles, disciples of Mount Song would prepare tea and snacks to warmly welcome the guests.

The Songshan Sect was very well prepared this time.

Zuo Lengchan is determined to become the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

Linghu Chong walked for a while longer before several disciples from Mount Song came to greet him, bowed, and said...

"The leaders and senior masters of the Kunlun, Emei, Kongtong, and Qingcheng sects have all arrived at Mount Song and will participate in the election of the Five Sacred Mountains sect leaders tomorrow."

"Sect Leader Linghu, you've arrived just in time. Everyone is waiting for you on the mountain."

These people seemed arrogant, and their tone of voice suggested that they believed the leader of the Five Mountains Sect must be the leader of the Songshan Sect.

As we continued walking, we suddenly heard a loud splashing sound.

Two white waterfalls hung from the cliff, their waters rushing swiftly and winding their way down.

The group continued their ascent from beside the waterfall toward the mountaintop.

The disciple from the Songshan Sect who was leading the way said, "This is Shengguan Peak."

"Sect Leader Linghu, what do you think of the scenery compared to Hengshan?"
