The Path to Immortality of Silly Pillar in the Courtyard

He Yuzhu's palm strike just now made him feel a deadly danger; he now knew the significance of the secret manual.

Yue Buqun took out a yellowed book and threw it to He Yuzhu.

"The two of us cannot copy it; we must memorize it from memory. We have half an hour," He Yuzhu said after receiving the manual.

"It's entirely up to you to decide," Yue Buqun said.

The two then began memorizing the secret manual.

The Purple Cloud Divine Skill truly lived up to its reputation; He Yuzhu benefited greatly from watching it for a while.

The manual states that the best time to cultivate the Purple Cloud Divine Skill is during the "Mao Shi" period, which is around 5 to 7 AM. At this time, the true energy cultivated is purple.

Its greatest advantage is its extremely long endurance; its internal energy is inexhaustible, its true qi is gentle and persistent, and it circulates automatically throughout the body, so it will hardly ever run out of energy in a prolonged battle.

Its initial movement is as light and gentle as clouds, but after accumulating power, it becomes powerful and overwhelming, belonging to the category of internal energy that grows stronger the more it is fought. It is the best internal energy in the Five Mountains Sword Sect in terms of endurance.

Most importantly, it can strengthen the body's foundation, prolong life, heal wounds quickly, and make one immune to all poisons!

He Yuzhu was very excited. This Purple Cloud Divine Skill can be described as an unparalleled divine skill of Taoism! It's just a pity that it is extremely difficult to cultivate, and even Yue Buqun did not cultivate it to the Great Perfection realm.

He quickly finished reading the manual and memorized all the formulas and operational routes.

At this moment, Yue Buqun finished reading the manual, the Great Compassion Mantra of Heaven and Earth Intersecting Yin and Yang, which only has three forms and is easy to read.

The two returned the secret manuals to each other.

Yue Buqun smiled and said, "Your Excellency, I have benefited greatly from this manual. It is indeed exquisite, but every move seems to be too murderous!"

He Yuzhu said, "Even the most severe punishment depends on who is using it, doesn't it?"

That makes sense.

Yue Buqun nodded and continued, "You are so young yet possess such cultivation; may I ask which sect or school you belong to? Can you sense your presence?"

"I am from overseas, but my ancestors were from the Central Plains."

"Oh, I see. Would you be willing to visit my Mount Hua? I, Yue, will certainly treat you with the utmost hospitality!"

"We'll talk about it later. I don't plan to stay in the Central Plains for long. I might leave soon," He Yuzhu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun was overjoyed. He truly did not wish to encounter such a master again in the martial world.

"Alright, Sect Leader Yue, let's go back." After saying that, He Yuzhu stood up and disappeared in a moment.

"A master! A peerless master!" Yue Buqun murmured to himself as he watched He Yuzhu's disappearing figure.

At the same time, he was excited and jumped up. He wanted to go back and study the Great Compassion Ode of Yin and Yang that symbolizes the interplay of heaven and earth.

Time flies, and soon it was time for Liu Zhengfeng to retire from his criminal life.

That day, He Yuzhu followed the Hengshan Sect's group. The Hengshan Sect Leader, Abbess Dingxian, treated He Yuzhu very politely, after all, he was her disciple's savior.

In Hengyang City, there is a grand mansion with five courtyards, pavilions, and towers, which looks extremely impressive.

He Zhuzhu also lamented that his No. 88 compound was far inferior to Liu Zhengfeng's.

Countless heroes from the martial arts world came to witness the ceremony, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere. Liu Zhengfeng, dressed in brocade robes, personally greeted the guests from the Five Mountains Sword Sect at the entrance.

As the plot unfolds, when Liu Zhengfeng tries to retire from the martial arts world, Fei Bin knocks the golden basin away, saying, "Liu Zhengfeng, the leader has ordered that you are not allowed to retire from the martial arts world."

Liu Zhengfeng was determined to leave the martial arts world. "So what if it's the Alliance Leader's order? It has no effect on me, Liu Zhengfeng, now."

He Yuzhu stood in the Hengshan Sect's ranks watching the excitement; he knew the real show was about to begin.

Fei Bin had already arrested Liu Zhengfeng's entire family and threatened to kill them all. When the disciples of Songshan Sect brought Liu Zhengfeng's family out, the whole place was in an uproar, but no one dared to stand up and speak for Liu Zhengfeng.

Later, Abbess Dingyi couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for Liu Zhengfeng, while also condemning Fei Bin. People from other sects also criticized Fei Bin's behavior.

Fei Bin also knew that forcibly killing someone would likely provoke public outrage, so he fabricated charges against Liu Zhengfeng and colluded with Qu Yang, an elder of the Demonic Cult.

Everyone fell silent. Although some people knew Liu Zhengfeng's character, they dared not stand up for him anymore.

Liu Zhengfeng, of course, argued his case, saying that he was tired of the conflicts in the martial arts world and only wanted to befriend Qu Yang with his qin and xiao.

Fei Bin would not let him go, and immediately ordered Liu Zhengfeng to kill Qu Yang to prove his innocence.

Liu Zhengfeng, of course, refused and forcibly retired from his criminal activities.

Just as Fei Bin was about to make trouble for Liu Zhengfeng's family, a voice suddenly rang out, "Leader Zuo has arrived."

As the voice faded, a tall, robust man in brocade robes walked into the scene.

"Leader Zuo..." All the heroes of the martial world clasped their fists in salute.

"Why is this guy here?" He Yuzhu wondered, but now was not the time to think about it. He continued to watch the show.

"This Zuo Lengchan is indeed a remarkable person, with a dignified appearance and extraordinary demeanor!" He Yuzhu thought to himself.

Liu Zhengfeng, are you going to remain obstinate? Go kill Qu Yang, and you'll still be a disciple of the Hengshan Sect. Otherwise, the Five Mountains Sword Sect will have to clean house.

"On what grounds? Just because I've befriended an elder of a demonic sect? I've said it before, we only want to retire from the martial world and stay out of the conflicts." Liu Zhengfeng was not afraid of Zuo Lengchan's threats at all and argued his case logically.

"Hahaha..." Zuo Lengchan laughed loudly, "What a fine retirement from the martial world! Liu Zhengfeng, do you know what Qu Yang has done?"

Before Liu Zhengfeng could answer, Zuo Lengchan looked at the hundred-plus martial arts heroes and continued, "That old devil Qu Yang colluded with Dongfang Bubai to kill Yu Canghai of Qingcheng!"

"What?!" The entire audience erupted in shock. Even Yue Buqun was taken aback. Yu Canghai had actually been killed by Dongfang Bubai.

He Yuzhu was taken aback upon hearing this, then laughed. He wasn't ready to watch the show anymore and stepped forward, asking, "Alliance Leader Zuo, what evidence do you have?"

Zuo Lengchan glanced at He Zhuzhu, assuming he was just a disciple of some faction, and didn't think much of it. "Do you want evidence?"

After speaking, Zuo Lengchan produced evidence—a cylindrical object. He said, "This is the object that killed Sect Leader Yu, and the person who used this kind of hidden weapon..."

After he finished speaking, he shouted loudly to those behind him, "Bring him up here."

A dozen burly men wielding long knives escorted an old man and a young girl into the courtyard.

When He Yuzhu saw the old man and the young girl, he was struck dumb. Qu Yang, Qu Feiyan!

Things have deviated from the plot, and Zuo Lengchan has actually captured Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan.

At this moment, both of them had their pressure points sealed, rendering them unable to move or speak.

He Yuzhu had already sentenced Zuo Lengchan to death in his heart, but he did not kill Zuo Lengchan immediately. Instead, he stepped forward and looked at him coldly, saying, "Alliance Leader Zuo, you have arrested the wrong person. I am the one who killed Yu Canghai."

After He Yuzhu spoke, everyone present was stunned. Could the young man in front of them really kill Yu Canghai? Countless people couldn't believe it!

"Benefactor He, come back quickly!" At this moment, Yilin ran to He Yuzhu's side and grabbed his sleeve anxiously.

"You step back first..." He Yuzhu said with a gentle push, and Yilin flew backward into the Hengshan Sect's camp.
