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

Linghu Chong said, "Mount Heng is beautiful, and Mount Song is majestic; both are very beautiful."

The man continued, "Mount Song is located in the center of the world, and it was the foremost of all the mountains in the Central Plains hundreds of years ago."

"Look at this imposing presence, no wonder ancient emperors built their capitals near Mount Song."

What he meant was that Mount Song is the head of all mountains, and the Songshan School should be the leader of all schools.

Linghu Chong smiled slightly and said, "What relationship do we Jianghu people have with emperors and officials?"

"Does the Left Sect Leader frequently associate with government officials?"

The disciple from Mount Song blushed and fell silent.

The mountain path became increasingly treacherous, and the Songshan Sect disciple leading the way provided guidance and detailed explanations along the way.

"This is Qinggang Peak, Qinggangping."

"This is the Great Iron Ridge Gorge, and the Small Iron Ridge Gorge."

"The right side of Tieliang Gorge is full of strange rocks, and the left side is a bottomless abyss."

A disciple from Mount Song picked up a large rock and threw it into the deep valley; the rock hit the mountain wall.

It started out as loud as thunder, then the sound gradually faded, and finally there was no sound at all.

At this point, Yihe asked, "Brother, how many people will be going up Mount Song tomorrow?"

The disciples of Mount Song replied, "There are at least two thousand people!"

Yihe immediately said, "If every guest who comes up the mountain protests with stones, it won't be long before this valley is filled with your faction."

Although Yihe was young, she was extremely eloquent.

She refuted the Songshan disciple until he was speechless; the other party could only snort coldly and remain silent.

The group continued onward and arrived at the place where the two mountain peaks were separated.

A natural gateway has formed here.

A strong wind blew from the cliff, swirling up clouds and mist that rushed towards us.

The disciples of Mount Song said, "This place is called Chaotianmen (Gate of Facing Heaven)."

He led the way, and the group climbed in a northwest direction.

Soon, an open area appeared at the summit, where many people gathered.

The Songshan disciple leading the way immediately quickened his pace and went up the mountain to report.

After a while, the sound of drums and music began, welcoming Linghu Chong and his party.

Linghu Chong soon met Zuo Lengchan, who was wearing an earth-yellow cloth robe.

Zuo Lengchan led more than twenty disciples forward a few steps and bowed.

Although Linghu Chong is now the head of Hengshan Sect, he still refers to Zuo Lengchan as "Uncle Zuo".

Linghu Chong bowed to Zuo Lengchan and said, "Linghu Chong greets Senior Uncle Zuo."

Zuo Lengchan smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I last saw you. Nephew Linghu is even more illustrious than before."

"You became the head of Hengshan Sect at such a young age, setting a precedent in the martial arts world. Congratulations!"

Zuo Lengchan and Linghu Chong had a bad relationship and were constantly at odds.

When he said "congratulations" just now, he didn't really mean it on his face.

Linghu Chong understood the sarcasm in his words.

When he said "setting a precedent in the martial arts world," he was actually mocking a man for becoming the head of a nunnery.

The phrase "handsome and young" can also conceal malicious intent.

Linghu Chong immediately said, "I became the sect leader according to the dying wish of Abbess Dingxian, with the aim of avenging her. I will abdicate after I have avenged her."

He stared at Zuo Lengchan with sharp, direct eyes, trying to discern whether Zuo Lengchan's face showed any remorse, anger, or hatred.

Zuo Lengchan showed no reaction; his facial muscles remained completely still.

"The Five Mountains Sword Sects were originally one family, and from now on, the five sects will unite as one."

"The blood feud of the two nuns, Dingxian and Dingyi, is the feud of the entire Five Mountains Sect."

"It's good that Junior Nephew Linghu has this ambition."

Zuo Lengchan paused for a moment, then said, "Brother Tianmen from Mount Tai, Master Mo from Mount Heng, Master Yue from Mount Hua, and the martial arts friends who have come to observe the ceremony are all waiting for you. Please invite Nephew Linghu to come and meet them."

Linghu Chong nodded and replied, "Yes."

Then he asked, "Have Abbot Fangzheng of Shaolin Temple and Daoist Chongxu of Wudang Temple arrived yet?"

Zuo Lengchan said coldly, "Although the two of them live close by, they think too highly of themselves and will never come."

After saying that, Zuo Lengchan glared fiercely at Linghu Chong, his eyes filled with hatred.

Linghu Chong was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

"When I took over as sect leader, these two martial arts seniors came to congratulate me in person. Zuo Lengchan originally thought they wouldn't come today, so he harbored resentment towards Master Fangzheng and Daoist Chongxu, and hated me even more."

Soon after, two disciples in yellow robes came running down the mountain path. They were moving very fast, clearly indicating that something extremely urgent had happened.

Everyone on the summit looked at the two people.

The two quickly ran to Zuo Lengchan and bowed to report.

"Master, Abbot Fangzheng of Shaolin Temple and Master Chongxu, the leader of Wudang Sect, are leading their elite disciples up the mountain."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Lengchan said calmly, "They actually came too?"

"That's too kind of you. I should go down the mountain to greet you."

Judging from his tone, he didn't care about the matter at all.

Linghu Chong noticed that his sleeves trembled slightly, revealing his undisguised joy.

When the heroes at the summit of Mount Song heard that Master Fangzheng and Daoist Chongxu had arrived together, they immediately became agitated.

Many people followed Zuo Lengchan down the mountain.

Linghu Chong told the Hengshan Sect disciples to step aside and let the others go down the mountain.

After descending the mountain, he saw that Tianmen Daoist of the Taishan Sect, Master Mo Da of the Hengshan Sect, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, and Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sect had already arrived.

As Linghu Chong bowed to the crowd, a group of people emerged from behind the yellow wall.

They are Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze, and other disciples of the Huashan Sect.

His heart ached, and he quickly stepped forward, knelt before Yue Buqun, and kowtowed, saying, "Linghu Chong greets you both."

Upon seeing Linghu Chong, Yue Buqun immediately turned aside and said coldly, "Sect Leader Linghu, there's no need for such a grand gesture; it's utterly absurd."

After Linghu Chong finished bowing, he immediately stood up and stepped aside.

Ning Zhongze looked at Linghu Chong with mixed feelings.

Among the disciples of Mount Hua, Linghu Chong was the one she was most satisfied with.

Upon seeing her former disciple, she said, "I heard you've become the head of the Hengshan Sect. As long as you don't cause any more trouble, you can live a peaceful life."

Yue Buqun sneered from the side: "He's not causing trouble anymore?"

"The sun must rise in the west."

"On his very first day as sect leader, he recruited over a thousand members of evil sects. Isn't that outrageous enough?"

"He also joined forces with the demon lord Ren Woxing to kill Dongfang Bubai, allowing Ren Woxing to become the leader of the demonic sect again."

"The Hengshan Sect leader's interference in the affairs of the Demonic Sect is going too far."

Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong immediately looked at Zhao Qing and retorted, "Master... Sect Leader Yue, it was Junior Brother Zhao who killed Dongfang Bubai, not me."

Linghu Chong was furious.

He couldn't stand seeing Zhao Qing and Ren Yingying being intimate.

At the same time, he didn't understand why Zhao Qing hadn't been expelled from the sect.

If he can marry Ren Yingying and return to Mount Hua, why can't I?

This is so unfair.

Yue Buqun immediately replied, "Zhao Qing went to the Sun Moon Cult to kill Dongfang Bubai for the sake of the righteous path of the martial arts world."

"His affair with Miss Ren..."

Yue Buqun was speechless.

He initially wanted to protect Zhao Qing, but then he thought that doing so would ruin the image he had worked so hard to build.

He could find no reason to defend Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing continued, "I made a mistake, but fortunately my master forgave me, and I am very grateful."

Yue Buqun said, "It's human nature for you to be easily tempted. From now on, you must stay true to your place and not make the same mistake again."
