Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

For example, a Shaolin monk who practices the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic) may only increase his internal strength by one year, but the quality of his internal strength is extremely high, comparable to the total internal strength of an ordinary martial artist who has cultivated for several years or even more than ten years.

This is precisely why those older, third-rate masters in the martial arts world, despite having cultivated diligently for decades, cannot even defeat newly emerged disciples from major sects.

"Boom boom boom..."

When Suzuki Seimei left Plum Manor, he casually set it on fire, engulfing the entire manor in flames.

A textbook example of disposing of a body and erasing all evidence!

"Zuo Lengchan, are you ready? I'm coming!"

Suzuki Seimei looked up in the direction of Mount Song, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. He suddenly exerted force with both feet, turning into a blur and disappearing from the spot.

After absorbing the lifelong internal energy of Huang Zhonggong and the others, Suzuki Seimei's pure internal energy had exceeded 140 years, so he didn't need to worry about running out of internal energy and could fully unleash "Divine Speed ​​Transformation".

……

Mount Song is located in the center of the world and is the Central Mountain of the Five Sacred Mountains.

It is bordered by Zhengzhou, the provincial capital, to the east; Luoyang, the ancient capital, to the west; the Ying River to the south; and the Yellow River to the north.

Mount Song is located in the Central Plains, lying horizontally from east to west. It was called "Waifang" in ancient times, "Songgao" or "Chongshan" during the Xia and Shang dynasties, and Tianshi Mountain during the Western Zhou dynasty.

After King Ping moved the capital to Luoyang in 770 BC, he designated Mount Song as the "center of heaven and earth," with Mount Tai to the left and Mount Hua to the right.

Mount Song is composed of Mount Taishi and Mount Shaoshi, with a total of 72 peaks, the highest of which is Liantian Peak at 1512 meters. It stretches more than 60 kilometers from east to west.

The Songshan School takes its name from the two characters "Songshan," and as the name suggests, the school is located on Songshan Mountain.

However, the vast Mount Song is not home to only the Songshan Sect. There is another, even more powerful sect, the Shaolin Sect!

The Songshan School is located on Shengguan Peak of Mount Song, while the Shaolin School is located on Wuru Peak.

Because it is located in the Shaoshi Mountain area in the heart of Songshan Mountain, where there are many dense forests, it is called the Shaolin School.

As the saying goes, "How can one tolerate another snoring beside one's bed?"

It was precisely because of the powerful Shaolin Sect that Zuo Lengchan was eager to unify the Five Mountains Sword Sects.

Although the overall strength of the Songshan Sect far surpasses that of the other four sects, it can only be considered a junior compared to an established power like the Shaolin Sect.

Only by combining the strength of the Five Mountains Sword Sects can Zuo Lengchan be confident in contending with the Shaolin Sect and making the Songshan Sect the true number one sect in the world!

In the original story, Master Fangzheng even wanted to teach Linghu Chong the Yi Jin Jing in order to help him heal his injuries. This was not because he simply admired Linghu Chong, but because he wanted to use Linghu Chong to stop Zuo Lengchan from unifying the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

do not forget!

The Wudang Sect's Zhenwu Sword and the Taijiquan Classic are still kept in the Demonic Sect's treasury, which shows that there is an irreconcilable hatred between the Wudang Sect and the Demonic Sect.

However, in the current martial arts world, the main force against the Demonic Sect is not the two elder brothers, Shaolin and Wudang, but the weaker united force, the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

Suzuki Seimei did not believe that the Wudang and Shaolin sects were not behind this incident.

Therefore, if Suzuki Seimei was not mistaken, the Five Mountains Sword Sect was actually a weapon used by the Shaolin and Wudang sects to openly confront the Demonic Sect.

Perhaps some members of the Five Mountains Sword Sect have realized this, but the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Demonic Sect have been fighting for so many years that they have long since formed a blood feud.

Even if the Five Mountains Sword Sect wanted to back down, the Demonic Sect would not be willing to let them go.

Since the Five Mountains Sword Sects are a sharp weapon that the Shaolin and Wudang sects openly use to fight against the Demonic Sect, Master Fangzheng and his group naturally do not want to see the Five Mountains Sword Sects unified, thereby threatening their position as the leaders of the righteous path.

The Huashan Sect was the most likely to achieve the unification of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects, but instead, two fools, Cai Zifeng and Yue Su, emerged.

Because of an incomplete copy of the "Sunflower Manual," a conflict arose between the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect, causing the Huashan Sect to split apart and fall from the top of the Five Mountains Sword Sects to the point of near extinction.

This "Sunflower Manual" happened to originate from the Putian Shaolin Temple, and Zen Master Hongye happened to accidentally let slip the secret when Cai Zifeng and his companions were visiting, which made the two of them want to peek at it.

If this is truly a coincidence, then it can only be said that the Huashan Sect was incredibly unlucky, having produced two unworthy disciples, Cai Zifeng and Yue Su.

If this incident is not a coincidence, then the various secrets hidden behind it are truly terrifying to contemplate.

Looking across the entire martial arts world, only the Shaolin Temple and the Wudang Sect are capable of using a top-tier martial art like the Sunflower Manual as bait.

Chapter 444 Let's Dance Together

Songshan Shengguan Peak

In the Songshan Sect's meeting hall, Zuo Lengchan was all smiles as he warmly welcomed three distinguished guests.

The three distinguished guests before us were none other than the sword masters of the Huashan Sect: Feng Buping, Cong Buqi, and Cheng Buyou.

Decades ago, the successors of the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect held a great sword competition at Jade Maiden Peak of Mount Hua. In the end, the Sword Sect was defeated. Some of the strong-willed individuals committed suicide on the spot, while others went into seclusion in the mountains. Feng Buping was one of them.

Apart from Feng Qingyang, who lived in seclusion in the back mountains of the Huashan Sect and was indifferent to worldly affairs, Feng Buping was the strongest among the successors of the Sword Sect.

Since the Sword Sect suffered a crushing defeat in the sword qi contest, Feng Buping has secluded himself to train diligently, vowing to avenge this humiliation.

Feng Buping lived in seclusion in the deep mountains for fifteen years and created a set of swords called "Raging Wind and Swift Sword".

The "Swift Wind Sword" consists of 108 moves. The sword strikes emit a faint sound of wind, and each move is faster than the last, with the wind generated becoming stronger and stronger, making it extremely powerful.

This sword technique is not only exquisite in its moves, but also imbued with a fierce aura. It does not rely solely on sword moves to win. The opponent is like a small boat in a hundred-foot-high raging torrent. The wind howls and the waves are as high as mountains. One after another, towering white waves crash against the small boat, which is tossed about by the waves until it is finally swallowed up by the waves.

It was precisely because Feng Buping had mastered the "Raging Wind and Swift Sword" technique to a high level that he believed he could defeat Yue Buqun, which is why he brought his two junior brothers out of the mountain in an attempt to reclaim the position of leader of the Huashan Sect.

Zuo Lengchan was looking for an excuse to attack the Huashan Sect, and he and Feng Buping hit it off immediately, preparing to help him become the new leader of the Huashan Sect.

In fact, Zuo Lengchan also knew that Feng Buping was ambitious, not only coveting the position of the Huashan Sect leader, but also wanting to further covet the position of the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Alliance.

However, compared to the old fox Yue Buqun, Feng Buping is at most a lone wolf, and is obviously much easier to deal with.

Even if Feng Buping could defeat Yue Buqun and regain the position of Huashan Sect Leader, he would not be able to threaten Zuo Lengchan's position as Alliance Leader without decades of hard work.

Apart from Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, the remaining disciples of the Huashan Sect totaled only about twenty people.

The Huashan Sect, now in such decline, was no match for Zuo Lengchan.

The only person Zuo Lengchan truly feared was Yue Buqun. Over the years, Yue Buqun had cultivated many good relationships in the martial arts world and earned a considerable reputation; otherwise, he wouldn't have earned the nickname "Gentleman Sword."

To become the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, one must not only possess sufficient strength, but also have a great reputation in the martial arts world.

Among the current leaders of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, Master Mo Da of the Hengshan Sect is obsessed with music and has little interest in power struggles, so he is unlikely to threaten Zuo Lengchan's position.

Furthermore, Tianmen Daoist of the Taishan Sect and Dingxian Shitai of the Hengshan Sect are both nuns, so they are unlikely to threaten Zuo Lengchan's position.

Therefore, the person that Zuo Lengchan was most wary of among the Five Mountains Sword Sect was actually only Yue Buqun.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically sent Laudenuo to infiltrate Yue Buqun's side for so many years.

Zuo Lengchan had met Yue Buqun in his early years and knew that although Yue Buqun appeared to be a virtuous gentleman, he was actually a cunning and scheming person.

In particular, not long ago, Laudenuo sent a secret letter, truthfully reporting the matter between the "Sunflower Manual" and the "Evil-Repelling Sword Technique" to Zuo Lengchan.

Originally, Zuo Lengchan wasn't very interested in the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, but when he learned that it was actually a fragment of the Sunflower Manual, he became quite restless.

Others may not know how strong Dongfang Bubai is, but Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, is well aware of how terrifying Dongfang Bubai is.

If Zuo Lengchan could have a 20-30% chance of winning against Ren Woxing, then he would have absolutely no chance of winning against Dongfang Bubai.

After all, Dongfang Bubai's title of being the best in the world was not something he boasted about; it was a reputation he earned step by step through battle.

If it weren't for Dongfang Bubai's sudden loss of interest in expanding his influence in recent years, the Five Mountains Sword Sect would probably have been wiped out by the Demonic Sect long ago.

The more Zuo Lengchan understood how terrifying Dongfang Bubai was, the more he coveted the "Sunflower Manual" that Dongfang Bubai practiced.

However, Zuo Lengchan was also very clear that even if the entire Songshan Sect mobilized, it would be impossible to snatch the cultivation manual of the "Sunflower Manual" from Dongfang Bubai.

Upon learning that the Lin family's "Evil-Repelling Sword Technique" was actually created based on a fragment of the "Sunflower Manual," Zuo Lengchan dispatched two bodyguards from the Songshan Sect to lead some Songshan Sect disciples to Fuzhou Prefecture in secret to try and obtain the genuine Evil-Repelling Sword Manual.

Unfortunately, by the time the disciples of the Songshan Sect arrived in Fuzhou, the Qingcheng Sect had already attacked the Fuwei Escort Agency, and the Lin family of three had vanished without a trace. The Songshan Sect had no choice but to return empty-handed.

This incident also served as a wake-up call for Zuo Lengchan, making him increasingly wary of Yue Buqun.

If it weren't for the secret letter sent back by Lao Denuo, Zuo Lengchan would never have known the connection between the "Evil-Repelling Sword Technique" and the "Sunflower Manual".

If the complete Evil-Repelling Sword Manual really fell into Yue Buqun's hands and he secretly learned the real Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, then Zuo Lengchan would definitely suffer a great loss.

That is why Zuo Lengchan was so enthusiastic towards Feng Buping, wanting to use him to bring Yue Buqun down.

Once Yue Buqun loses his position as the leader of the Huashan Sect, no matter how high his reputation is in the martial arts world, he will no longer be able to threaten Zuo Lengchan's position.

After Feng Buping seized the position of sect leader from Yue Buqun, he did not have much reputation in the martial arts world, so he was not qualified to threaten Zuo Lengchan.

"Ta-da~ Ta-da..."

Just as Zuo Lengchan and Feng Buping were seemingly having a pleasant conversation, but in reality each harbored their own ulterior motives, a strangely rhythmic melody suddenly rang out, covering the entire Songshan Sect.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Lengchan and Feng Buping felt their internal energy surge and their blood flow, as if they wanted to sway to the music.

Meanwhile, the female disciples responsible for serving tea and water in the hall felt their blood rush to their heads, their cheeks flushed red, and they began to raise their hands uncontrollably, rhythmically kicking their feet in time with the magical music.

Damn it!!!

Seeing the strange dance moves of the female disciples, Zuo Lengchan's eyes turned red with anger. He forcibly suppressed the urge to go forward and dance with them, and turned into a blur as he rushed out of the hall.

When Zuo Lengchan stormed out of the meeting hall in a fit of rage, he was horrified to discover that not only the female disciples in the hall, but all the disciples of the Songshan Sect whose internal strength was not deep enough were dancing that strange dance.

Chapter 445 Frost Palm

At this moment, Zuo Lengchan was not only extremely angry, but also felt a strange fear.

Although the disciples' dance moves were strange, they exuded an indescribable magic that made people want to dance along.

If this continues, even if Zuo Lengchan can suppress the surging internal energy within him, he will likely succumb to this demonic dance.

What Zuo Lengchan didn't know was that the "Dance of Demons" that he feared so much had another resounding name: the "Source of All Evil"—the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss!

The uniquely cheerful rhythm of "Gokuraku Jodo" has a special, brainwashing magic.

Now, Suzuki Seimei is wielding the "Seven-Stringed Invisible Sword" and playing a seven-stringed zither version of "Gokuraku Jodo" with his inner strength infused into the music. It possesses an inexplicable and mysterious magic that makes listeners want to dance involuntarily.

Veteran powerhouses like Zuo Lengchan, with their unwavering resolve, could barely put up a fight for a while, but the Songshan Sect disciples, whose cultivation and willpower were not strong enough, were directly reduced to puppets of Qin Yin.

"Who goes there?!"

Zuo Lengchan looked around and quickly fixed his gaze on Li Maozhen on the rooftop not far away.

Li Maozhen, dressed in a magnificent robe with gold trim, was sitting cross-legged on the roof of the adjacent pavilion, his ten white, jade-like fingers dancing as he intently played the seven-stringed zither in front of him.

It's you!
