Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

"So that's it!" Song Xuan nodded suddenly.

In terms of strength, he is countless times stronger than Yue Buqun, but in terms of experience and combat instincts, he still seems a little immature compared to this old man who has been in the martial arts world for decades.

"Thanks for clearing up the confusion!"

Song Xuan smiled, and then said to Yue Lingshan, who was standing by the river with a wooden pitchfork in hand and a confused look on her face, "You are free, you can leave now!"

"what?"

Yue Lingshan was stunned for a moment, then she threw away the fork in her hand with a dazed mind, muttering "liar".

Where are the people you promised to bring?

Now they let me go without asking for anything. They tied me up and released me as they pleased. Is this guy sick?

"Thank you, young man!"

Seeing that Song Xuan was really going to release the person, Yue Buqun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was really scared of the young man in front of him.

He knew very well that with his own strength, if the other party really didn't intend to let them go, he would have no way to deal with it.

Song Xuan walked on the water until he reached the center of the river, then he said calmly, "Master Yue, can we talk alone?"

"it is good!"

Yue Buqun followed without any hesitation.

Standing on the shimmering water, Song Xuan smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself first. I'm Song Xuan, from the Imperial Capital's Xuanyi Guard, and I'm currently serving as the Pacification Envoy of the Xuanyi Guard in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefecture.

I've only recently taken up this position, and I don't have many people I can use. I wonder if Sect Leader Yue would be interested in working for me?"

Upon hearing Song Xuan's identity as a Black Guard, Yue Buqun's expression changed, and he quickly waved his hands, saying, "So you are from the imperial court, young man. I'm so sorry!"

He said disrespectfully, but his eyes were full of vigilance. "Young man, you should also know that Yue is now the head of the Huashan Sect and has many things to deal with within the sect. I really can't spare the time to help you."

Song Xuan laughed and said, "I know a little about your sect. Apart from you two, the number of serious disciples in the entire sect can be counted on one hand.

To put it bluntly, the entire Huashan Sect does not have any outstanding disciples. If it were not for you, Yue Buqun, the Huashan Sect would not even be considered a sect.

Sect Leader Yue said he was very busy, so what exactly are you busy with?"

Yue Buqun looked unhappy, but he knew that what Song Xuan said was true. Huashan Sect had declined to this point, and he, as the leader, really had no face left.

"Master Yue, if you don't say anything, then let me speak. Master Yue sent his disciples and daughter to Fuzhou County this time because of the Lin family's Exorcism Sword Manual, right?"

Yue Buqun instinctively wanted to deny it, but after seeing Song Xuan's half-smile, he paused and then nodded slowly.

"Young man, you are a wise man. I will not lie in front of a real person. I do have some thoughts about the Lin family's Sword Manual of Exorcism."

Having spoken out, Yue Buqun no longer tried to hide his feelings, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "The Lin family's Seventy-Two Evil-Exorcising Sword Technique was once a renowned skill that swept the martial arts world, but its descendants haven't achieved anything remarkable. I'm truly curious."

Song Xuan smiled and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Not only you are thinking about him, but also Yu Canghai. Even I am no exception."

Yue Buqun was stunned. "Even a congenital master like you would care about a sword technique?"

Song Xuan nodded. "After all, it's a sword technique that once caused a sensation in the martial arts world. Even if I don't practice it, it's always okay for me to take a look at it, right?"

"Then I wonder what you feel after reading this, young man?"

"Amazing, truly a peerless sword technique!"

There was a look of desire in Yue Buqun's eyes. Even though he always emphasized that Qi was the main thing when teaching his disciples, and swordsmanship was only auxiliary, the order must not be messed up.

But that was just a way to educate his disciples. After all, swordsmanship without the support of internal strength is just a decoration.

But Yue Buqun is not short of internal strength now. The internal strength cultivated by Zixia Gong has almost reached the extreme. As he has been unable to break through to the innate realm, he urgently wants a powerful swordsmanship to improve his own strength.

"I don't like those roundabout ways of talking to smart people." Song Xuan stared at Yue Buqun and said in a deep voice, "Come work for me, and I'll give you the Sword Manual of Exorcism!"

"This..." Yue Buqun instinctively wanted to refuse again.

Yue Buqun still can't get over the hurdle of being transformed from the leader of a famous and upright sect into a lackey of the imperial court.

If this matter were to spread to the martial arts world, how would Yue Buqun live his life in the future?

Gentleman Jian has become a lackey of the imperial court. Will he still be able to maintain his dignity?

If this matter were to spread to the martial arts world, how would the people in the martial arts world view him?

Not to mention that people in the martial arts world look down on him, even his own daughter would probably look down on him!

"Don't rush to refuse!"

Seeing Yue Buqun about to refuse, Song Xuan continued, "I also understand the situation of your Huashan Sect. To be honest, it is in imminent danger!"

Chapter 71 Young Master Song, help me!

Yue Buqun remained silent. He did not doubt the Xuanyiwei's ability to obtain information.

"Although your Five Mountains Sword Sects claim to be of the same bloodline, in reality, there is also fierce competition within. I can tell you clearly that Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan Sect has cultivated the Ice Qi and entered the Xiantian Realm.

Sect Leader Yue, you should know better than anyone that Zuo Lengchan wants to annex the other sects. Now that he has made a breakthrough in his cultivation, he will definitely take action. Do you think the Huashan Sect can stay out of it?

To put it bluntly, with only a few big and small cats in the Huashan Sect, Zuo Lengchan probably doesn't even need to take action. The Thirteen Guardians under his command alone can take care of the Huashan Sect!

A man who knows the current situation is a hero. It is time for you to think carefully about finding a backer for yourself and the Huashan Sect!"

After saying that, Song Xuan turned and walked towards the shore. "You can take your people away now. When you figure it out, come find me at the Xuanyiwei Qianhu Office in Yangzhou City!"

...

The sounds of carriages and horses gradually disappeared. Yue Buqun stood on the shore, looking at the convoy that was gradually moving away, and remained silent for a while.

"Dad, what did he tell you?"

Yue Lingshan was extremely curious at this moment. The evil man tied her up and then released her inexplicably. What did he talk about with her father that made her father so sad?

Yue Buqun didn't answer. Instead, Linghu Chong, who was being carried on his back, spat out a mouthful of blood and asked, "Junior Sister, during the time you were abducted, has Song Xuan ever given you any hardship?"

"Not really. As long as I didn't run away, he didn't do anything inappropriate... This guy is really weird. I thought he was plotting to steal our Huashan Sect's secret manual!"

Yue Buqun shook his head, "This person doesn't look very old, only about twenty at most, but his strength has already reached the Xiantian realm.

Such a brilliant and talented person would not even consider ordinary martial arts."

Yue Lingshan nodded subconsciously, "That's true. He did say that he looked down upon the Huashan Sect's martial arts... Dad, Senior Brother looks seriously injured. Should we find a place for him to recover first?"

"It doesn't matter!"

Linghu Chong coughed a few more times. "I feel much better after spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood... That man didn't intend to kill me. Although I look seriously injured, they are all external injuries with no internal damage. I feel much better after spitting out the blood."

Yue Lingshan breathed a sigh of relief. "Dad, what did that evil man say to you? Did he threaten you?"

Yue Buqun looked worried. "Let's leave here first and find a safe place for your senior brother to heal. We can talk about other things later!"

"Well, listen to Daddy!"

However, just as they were about to leave, a laugh suddenly arose from the hillside.

"Master Yue, where are you going?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of wind suddenly all around, and a figure rushed over from the surrounding hills like the wind, surrounding Yue Buqun and the other two.

"The Thirteen Guardians of Songshan!"

When he saw who was coming, Yue Buqun was shocked.

Not long ago, Song Xuan said that Zuo Lengchan of Songshan Sect had made a breakthrough in his cultivation and would sooner or later attack Huashan Sect. He never expected that the other party would come so quickly!

Yue Buqun looked at the crowd surrounding him, his eyes fixed on the leader, and angrily asked, "Ding Mian, what do you mean by this?"

Ding Mian, the Pagoda-Handed Ding, is Zuo Lengchan's second junior brother. His palm is as powerful as a falling pagoda. Anyone who is hit by his palm will have their tendons and veins broken and die. He is also the Great Protector among the Thirteen Protectors.

At this moment, he brought the second protector, the Crane Hand Lu Bai, the third protector, the Great Songyang Hand Fei Bin, and more than ten disciples of the Songshan School to block the surrounding retreat routes.

At this moment, a scene that made Yue Lingshan furious appeared. Behind the group of Songshan Sect disciples, the Huashan Sect traitor Lao Denuo walked out with a smile.

"Master, it's not easy to catch up with you. I almost didn't catch up with you even though I was trying so hard!"

Yue Buqun stared at Lao Denuo with a gloomy face. He had known for a long time that the other party was a spy planted by the Songshan Sect and had been on guard against him before. But this time, because his daughter was captured, he rushed here in a hurry and ignored this guy.

I never thought that a negligence would put me in a desperate situation.

The main reason was that he didn't expect that the Songshan Sect would be so direct in tearing off their relationship with him, without any regard for the ethics of the martial arts world!

Ding Mian looked around with a smile. This place was quite remote and there were few passers-by. It was a perfect place to kill and rob.

He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Master Yue, my master brother has something to discuss with you. Please stay here and wait for my master brother to come."

Yue Buqun ignored him and glanced at his eldest disciple Linghu Chong and his daughter Yue Lingshan beside him, then spoke in a low voice.

"I will keep them busy later, and you can take the opportunity to leave."

"Dad!" Yue Lingshan was extremely anxious.

escape?

Where to escape?

Even if they escaped, what would it matter? If even their father was dead, could the Huashan Sect still escape the clutches of the Songshan Sect?

"Remember, flee to Yangzhou City and find Song Xuan at the Xuanyiwei Qianhu Division! Tell him that I agree with his suggestion!"

Without waiting for Yue Lingshan and the other two to answer, Yue Buqun frantically activated the Zixia Gong. The purple aura on his face became extremely dense. Then, a long rainbow sword technique soared into the sky, raising a purple glow and rushing straight towards Ding Mian.

Ding Mian didn't dare to take it head-on and dodged and retreated. The reputation of the Gentleman Sword Yue Buqun was not exaggerated. If it weren't for the leader brother breaking through to the innate realm, their Songshan Sect really wouldn't dare to easily break off relations with the Huashan Sect.

Ding Mian was forced back by a sword, and a gap appeared in the encirclement instantly. Yue Buqun was overjoyed when he saw this. He immediately sheathed his sword and rushed out, holding Yue Lingshan and Linghu Chong in each hand.

It is impossible to wait for death here. The only chance of survival is to escape from here in time before Zuo Lengchan arrives!

It has to be said that the reputation of Gentleman Sword Yue Buqun is indeed not exaggerated. Although he cannot be compared with the leaders of major sects like Shaolin and Wudang, he is definitely one of the top ones among the acquired martial artists.

Ding Mian, Lu Bai, and Fei Bin are also well-known acquired martial artists in the martial arts world, but when faced with Yue Buqun who was carrying two people, they could only follow him from a distance and could not catch up at all.

After running all the way, finally, the ancient and majestic city of Yangzhou County came into Yue Buqun's sight.

But before he could show any joy, his heart suddenly started beating wildly, and an extremely strong sense of life and death crisis enveloped his heart.

He subconsciously looked back, but saw a tall and burly masked figure rushing towards him with a heart-pounding aura a hundred meters behind him, and was getting closer and closer.

Yue Buqun secretly cried out in dismay, they were about to enter the city, but he never expected that Zuo Lengchan would actually catch up with him.

This guy can be recognized at a glance even if he turns into ashes, let alone wearing a mask!

Zuo Lengchan was also a ruthless character. After closing the distance, he said nothing and raised his hand to slap out.

But then an icy and violent palm force slapped out from his hand, and a silver-white streak was like a long dragon, instantly covering the void, and the breath of death enveloped Yue Buqun and the other two.

Yue Buqun believed that he could not withstand the palm force condensed by the innate warrior with his true energy. Facing the crisis of life and death, he took a deep breath and suddenly shouted towards the city in front of him.

"Young Master Song, help me!!!"

Chapter 72: One sword shocked the vastness!

It was late in the evening, the moon was high in the sky, and the moonlight covered the entire Yangzhou city like a gauze curtain.

In a carriage near the city gate, Victoria Song stared at her brother curiously.

"Why do you keep looking at me?"

Song Qian said with a strange look on her face, "Brother, what did you mysteriously call Lao Yue over to talk about? Could it be a proposal of marriage?"

Let’s make it clear first, it doesn’t matter if Yue Lingshan is the younger one, but my sister Lu must be the first wife.

Brother, you don't want to have a headache because of the sister-in-law problem in the future, right?"

Song Xuan waved his hand and said, "I'm not in the right situation to think about women yet."

For Song Xuan now, the most important thing is to improve his strength, gather manpower and increase his survival capital in this world.

As for women, there is no need to spend time flirting with them.

"Not proposing marriage?"

Song Qian pondered, "So you're interested in the Huashan Sect?"

Song Xuan nodded, "I invited Yue Buqun to work for me, but he didn't agree."

"This is perfectly normal. He's a good leader. If it were me, I wouldn't want to be inferior to him!"

Song Xuan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I believe he will come to his senses soon!

If nothing unexpected happens, the people from Songshan School should have reached Yangzhou.
