As the four entered, they stood on either side. Then, a tall man in a yellow robe walked in from between them. He held high in his hand a five-colored silk banner, adorned with pearls and gems. When he unfurled it, it emitted a brilliant light.

Many people who recognized the flag were shocked: "The banner of the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect has arrived!"

The man walked up to Liu Zhengfeng, raised his flag and said, "Uncle Liu, I have received an order from the Left Alliance Leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect: Uncle Liu, please postpone your retirement for the time being."

Liu Zhengfeng's heart trembled slightly, knowing that today might not be so smooth, but he still had to put in enough effort to appear smooth. He bowed and said, "But I wonder what the purpose of this order from the leader is?"

The man said, "I was just following orders, I didn't know the leader's intention, please forgive me, Uncle Liu."

Although this man was polite in his words, his expression was extremely arrogant and he didn't show any apology at all.

Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "You're welcome. My dear nephew, you are Qianzhang Songshi, right?"

This man was none other than Qianzhangsong Shi Dengda, a disciple of the Songshan School.

Hearing that Liu Zhengfeng knew his name and nickname, he couldn't help but feel proud, and his expression softened a bit. He bowed slightly and said, "Disciple Shi Dengda greets Uncle Liu."

Shi Dengda rushed forward a few steps and bowed to Tianmen Taoist, Yue Buqun, Master Dingyi and others, saying, "I, a disciple of Songshan, pay my respects to all the uncles and uncles."

The other four men in yellow followed suit and bowed at the same time.

Although the Songshan Sect is arrogant, they also know that too much is as bad as too little. Today they have ill intentions and want to force Liu Zhengfeng to submit.

Let the Five Mountains Sword Sects and other people in the martial arts world see the majesty of his Songshan Sect.

However, forcing Liu Zhengfeng had already offended the Hengshan Sect. If he did not behave politely, he would offend several other major sects.

No matter how powerful the Songshan School is, it is not Wudang or Shaolin after all, and cannot withstand the public anger.

Liu Zhengfeng's face was solemn. He knew that if he didn't retire from the underworld today, he would not be able to escape unscathed if he stood here as a court official, and his family might even be implicated.

It is easy to enter the world of martial arts, but difficult to leave!

He immediately said solemnly, "Back then, the Five Mountains Sword Sects formed an alliance, agreeing to help each other in attack and defense to maintain the righteousness of the martial arts world. When encountering matters related to the five sects, everyone must obey the orders of the alliance leader."

"This five-colored flag was jointly made by our five sects. Seeing the flag is like seeing the leader, which is true. However, I am retiring today. This is Liu's personal matter. I have not violated the moral rules of the martial world, nor have I anything to do with the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Therefore, I am not subject to the leader's flag order. Please tell our respected master, nephew Shi, that I will not obey the flag order. I ask Senior Brother Zuo to forgive me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked straight to the golden basin and plunged his hand into the basin like a shuttle.

As long as he wet his hands, he would be free from the disputes in the martial arts world. No matter how arrogant and domineering the Songshan Sect was, they would not dare to offend the imperial court.

Seeing this, Shi Dengda's figure flashed and rushed to block the golden basin. He held the banner high in his right hand and said in a stern voice, "Uncle Liu, my master has repeatedly urged you to postpone your retreat. My master said that the Five Mountains Sword Sects are of the same blood and we are all like brothers."

"My master issued this banner order out of consideration for the friendship of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, to uphold the righteousness of the martial arts world, and also for the good of Uncle Liu."

Liu Zhengfeng's hands were stopped, his brows furrowed, but he couldn't get angry and kill Shi Dengda with a palm.

He immediately flicked his sleeves and said in a deep voice, "How could Liu's retirement to focus on his official career affect the friendship of the Five Mountains Sword Sects and the righteousness of the martial arts world?!"

Shi Dengdaben was still worried that Liu Zhengfeng would get angry and slap him.

Seeing him swallowing his anger, his expression regained its arrogance and he sneered, "Uncle Liu, why are you pretending to be stupid? The Ming Dynasty has always been hostile to people like us in the martial arts world. During the martial arts era, although they didn't issue a ban on martial arts, they still made trouble for our fellow martial artists everywhere. The slightest movement would result in arrest and interrogation. At the very least, your martial arts skills would be crippled, and at the worst, you would lose your head."

"If Uncle Liu were to serve the imperial court, wouldn't that put you in trouble with your fellow martial artists? Not only would that affect the camaraderie of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, but it would also make the Hengshan Sect, your home, a target of public criticism."

The threat in Shi Dengda's eyes was very strong, and he said gloomily: "Uncle Liu, please think twice."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengfeng's brows were squeezed into a "川" shape, and he hurriedly thought of how to deal with it.

After a few breaths, he suddenly pulled out a sword that had been tempered a thousand times and was shining with cold light from his waist and held it horizontally in front of him.

Immediately, he pointed his finger like a dragon, bit the sword body tightly with two fingers, and with a snap of his hands, he broke the sword into two pieces. He broke the long sword and let the two broken pieces fall. With two light "chi" sounds, the broken sword was inserted into the blue brick.

"Disciple Liu Zhengfeng was accepted as a disciple by my benevolent master and taught martial arts. I am deeply ashamed that I have not been able to strengthen the Hengshan Sect. How could I allow the Hengshan Sect to fall into an unjust situation?"

Liu Zhengfeng turned around, glanced at all the guests present, and said loudly, "I swear to my master that after retiring from the underworld, I will focus on my official career and will not seek promotion or advancement by learning martial arts from my master. I will never interfere in the grudges and disputes between sects in the martial arts world. Even if the imperial court orders me to embarrass any of you, I will never obey!"

"If you go against this, there is such a sword."

The sound was like a huge bell, rolling and resounding, spreading throughout the Liu Mansion.

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent, you could hear a pin drop, and no one talked or chatted anymore.

Mr. Liu Sanye is well-known for his righteousness. He has even sworn to keep his promise, so there is naturally no reason to stop him.

Liu Zhengfeng glanced at Shi Dengda, whose face was a little pale, and sneered in his heart. He wanted to tell the Songshan School about his extraordinary martial arts skills by breaking the sword.

Although Mr. Liu is a good guy, he also has a temper.

Chapter 155 Aggressive! And Automatic!

Seeing that no one looked at him and responded, Liu Zhengfeng walked towards the golden basin again and reached in.

At this moment, a sinister voice came from the back hall.

"Uncle Liu, your young master doesn't seem to want you to quit your job. He's crying loudly in frustration."

Liu Zhengfeng trembled all over as if struck by lightning. He turned his head suddenly and saw a man with a gloomy face slowly walking out from the back hall and pointing the dagger in his hand at his youngest son Liu Qin.

This person is also one of Zuo Lengchan's direct disciples, Wan Daping.

Wan Daping smiled sinisterly, bowed slightly, and said, "I am Wan Daping, a disciple of Songshan, and I pay my respects to Uncle Liu."

Seeing his child pale with fear, he burst into tears.

Liu Zhengfeng was so angry that his body trembled slightly. He shouted loudly: "How many disciples have been sent from Songshan? Everyone, please show up at once!"

This time, the Songshan Sect was obviously well prepared, and even his family members had been taken hostage by their second-generation disciples in advance.

Instead of being passive everywhere, it is better to speak frankly and call them all out.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard dozens of people on the roof, outside the gate, in the corners of the hall, in the backyard, around him, and in front of him, all responding in unison: "Yes, disciples of the Songshan School greet Uncle Liu."

Dozens of voices shouted simultaneously, their voices so loud and unexpected that the other warriors were startled. They saw more than ten people standing on the roof, all wearing yellow shirts.

The people in the hall were dressed in various clothes. It was obvious that they had sneaked in long ago and were secretly monitoring Liu Zhengfeng. Among the more than a thousand people, no one noticed.

Nun Dingyi, who hated evil, was the first to lose her temper. She frowned and shouted, "What...what does this mean? This is so insulting!"

He was really too domineering. Not only did he prevent others from serving as officials in the court and forcibly control their will, but he even resorted to such despicable tactics to deal with Liu Zhengfeng.

It's simply a discredit to the famous and upright people!

Shi Dengda smiled slightly and said disapprovingly, "Master Dingyi, please forgive me. My master has issued an order to dissuade Master Liu from retiring. I'm afraid Master Liu might disobey my order, so I've offended him greatly."

At this moment, more than a dozen people came out from the back hall. They were Liu Zhengfeng's wife, one of his young sons, and seven disciples. Behind each of them was a disciple from Songshan, holding a dagger in his hand, holding it against the backs of Madam Liu and others.

Liu Zhengfeng's eyes were bloodshot and his fists were clenched so tightly that they made crackling sounds.

The Songshan School is really going too far!

Immediately, he became ruthless. All the heroes in the world have gathered here, and there are many forces that are not weaker than the Songshan Sect. Could the Songshan Sect dare to offend the public and hurt his wife and children?

At that moment, he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "My friends, it's not that I am stubborn. Today, Senior Brother Zuo is threatening me with my family. If I give in to force, how can I stand in the world with dignity? Senior Brother Zuo will not allow me to retire. Hehe, I can behead myself, but I will not bend my will!"

As he said this, he took a step forward and reached his hands into the golden basin.

"Wait a minute!"

Shi Dengda's pupils shrank. He didn't expect Liu Zhengfeng to be so stubborn and unyielding. He immediately shouted, unfurled his command flag, and blocked his way.

Liu Zhengfeng could no longer bear it, so he quickly stretched out his left hand and stabbed two fingers into his eyes, intending to blind him on the spot.

Shi Dengda was shocked and quickly raised his arms to block. Seeing this, Liu Zhengfeng retracted his left hand and stabbed two fingers of his right hand into his eyes again.

Stendar was unable to resist and had to retreat.

As soon as Liu Zhengfeng pushed him away, he reached for the golden basin again. He heard the sound of wind behind him, and two people rushed forward. Without even turning back, Liu Zhengfeng lashed out with his left leg, and with a thud, he kicked one of the Songshan disciples far away. Then, with a sound, he reached out with his right hand, grabbed another Songshan disciple by the chest, lifted him up, and threw him towards Shi Dengda.

These two kicks with the left leg and grabs with the right hand were like having eyes on the back of the body. The positions were accurate and the movements were incredibly fast. He was indeed a master of internal martial arts and was very extraordinary.

Dozens of Songshan disciples were stunned, and for a moment no one dared to come forward. The Songshan disciple standing behind his son shouted, "Uncle Liu, if you don't stop, I'm going to kill your son."

Liu Zhengfeng turned around, glanced at his son, and said coldly: "The heroes of the world are here. If you dare to touch my son, all your dozens of Songshan disciples will be turned into meat paste."

After hearing this, the disciples of Songshan became somewhat hesitant.

This was not an empty threat. If they really hurt his young son, it would surely arouse public outrage and people would attack them. The Songshan disciples would then have difficulty escaping justice.

What's more, even if the heroes of the world are really indifferent, Liu Zhengfeng will officially become a general of the court after he washes his hands of the imperial court. If they come to settle accounts again, the entire Songshan School will be burned down.

Seeing that no one could stop it this time, suddenly a silver light flashed, and a tiny hidden weapon broke through the air.

Liu Zhengfeng's ears moved slightly when he heard the sound of breaking air. As a warrior, he subconsciously stepped back.

There was a soft ding as the hidden weapon struck the edge of the golden basin. The basin tipped over and fell to the ground with a clang. The basin flipped over, bottom to the sky, and the full amount of clear water spilled onto the ground.

At the same time, a yellow shadow swayed, and a man jumped down from the roof. He kicked the bottom of the golden basin with his right foot, and the golden basin immediately turned into a flat piece.

Immediately afterwards, two more figures came together and landed on the ground.

These three people looked to be in their thirties or forties, in their prime.

Everyone present raised their eyebrows. Even Zuo Lengchan's junior brothers, Da Songyang Hand Fei Bin, Pagoda Hand Ding Mian, and Crane Hand Lu Bai had come. It seemed that this time, Zuo Lengchan was not just trying to establish his authority.

Fei Bin took a few steps forward, his expression cold, and bowed, saying, "Senior Brother Liu, by order of the Alliance Leader, you are not allowed to retire."

Liu Zhengfeng's expression was as gloomy as water. Since he had kicked the golden basin into pieces, it was no longer feasible for him to retire. The current situation was to fight with all his strength or endure the humiliation for the time being?

His mind raced instantly, and he shouted, "Although the Songshan Sect holds the Five Mountains Alliance flag, they are so aggressive. Isn't anyone among the hundreds of heroes here going to stand up and speak a word of justice?"

After a while, the courtyard fell silent.

"Hahaha, Brother Liu, why do you need to count on these hypocritical villains? I'm here to help you!"

Chapter 156: Tensions are high! And automatic!

It's too late to say.

As soon as he finished speaking, palm shadows came down from the sky, divided into dozens of them, and hit the second generation disciples of Songshan School.

The second generation disciples of Songshan Sect are all weaklings at the level of the Four Beauties of Qingcheng. How can they withstand the mountain-destroying and sea-breaking attack of Qu Yang, a master of the innate level?

Qiqi's mouth spurted with blood and he flew backwards several meters.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow swept past like a gust of wind and abducted Madam Liu and Master Liu.

The seven disciples of the Liu family were not weak people to begin with. Once they were no longer restrained, how could they not run away?

In just a few breaths, the situation took a turn for the worse.

Among the hundreds or thousands of people present, only a handful could see clearly what had just happened.

Fei Bin was shocked to see that the trump card he used to threaten someone was taken away. He wanted to step forward and snatch it back, but he knew that he was only half a step into the innate realm. If he wanted to fight Qu Yang, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

His mind raced, and his expression suddenly turned grim.

Liu Zhengfeng's golden basin has been trampled on by himself. As long as he does not wash his hands of the golden basin, he will still not be an official of the court and will have to do things according to the rules of the underworld.

If you want to eliminate him and Qu Yang, why do you need to do it yourself?!

He immediately took the command flag, raised it high, and shouted, "Senior Brother Liu, Alliance Leader Zuo has already discovered that you have close ties with the Demon Cult's Right Emissary Qu Yang. That's why we're here today to stop you from retiring."

"The demon has already arrived, and there's evidence. What else do you have to say?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was shocked and many of them exclaimed in surprise.

The evil sect and the heroes of the white world are irreconcilable. The two sides have been enemies for more than a hundred years, fighting endlessly with both sides winning and losing.

Among the more than a thousand people in this hall, at least half of them had suffered from the evil cult. Some had their fathers and brothers killed, and some had their teachers murdered. When the evil cult was mentioned, everyone hated it with a vengeance.

The biggest reason why the Five Mountains Sword Sects formed an alliance was to deal with the Demon Cult.

The Demon Cult has a large number of people and powerful martial arts. Although the famous and upright sects have their own unique skills, they are often no match for them. The leader of the Demon Cult, Dongfang Bubai, is even known as the "number one master of the world". His name is "Bubai", and it is true that he has never been defeated since he became an expert in martial arts. This is truly extraordinary.

When the heroes heard Fei Bin accusing Liu Zhengfeng of colluding with the Demon Cult, their sympathy for Liu Zhengfeng immediately disappeared, and they no longer believed in the oath he had just made.

Liu Zhengfeng ignored it and looked at the face in front of him with a bright smile. He felt excited and helpless.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Qu, this place is now a den of dragons and tigers. Today, the Songshan Sect seems to be forcing me, but in fact they want to deal with you."

"I can handle this crisis by myself. Why are you bothering me?"

Qu Yang laughed freely, his laughter resounding like bells and drums, reaching everyone's ears: "Hahahaha, Brother Liu, you are looking down on me."

"The villains from the Songshan Sect are coming for my elder brother. If my family and I are to bear the consequences, then how can I, Qu Yang, still stand in this martial arts world?"

"Big brother!"

"Good brother!"

The two of them looked affectionate, trembling slightly with excitement, and hugged each other.

Nun Dingyi, who was already furious and wanted to rush forward to defend Liu Zhengfeng, saw this shocking change and her beautiful eyes narrowed. She said in a lost voice: "Junior Brother Liu, are you really entangled with this demonic cult monster?"
