Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Chapter 74 Linghu Chong: I don’t agree!

After muttering a few words, Huang Rong began to pack up her things. She couldn't stay in this shabby place for even a quarter of an hour.

But the next moment, she paused slightly, her face showing a look of reminiscence.

"That sword energy just now looked familiar?"

Subconsciously, she recalled the scene outside the imperial capital where the cold-faced man who had stolen her unique martial arts skill and a red sword energy almost killed her.

The sword energy she had just seen was also red, except that it was a little bigger, thicker, and faster. It seemed exactly the same!

"No way, thousands of miles away, that cold-faced god has also come to Yangzhou?"

When Huang Rong thought of that guy with a weird temper who was always thinking about other people's martial arts, she became more determined to leave this place.

But as she packed her luggage and prepared to leave the guest room, hesitation appeared on her face again.

If she left like this, the little beggars she knew in Yangzhou would probably have no way to survive.

She gritted her teeth, put the luggage back where it belonged, and her expression changed several times.

"A few dozen taels of silver gave me a unique skill. There's no such good thing in the world!"

She gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and walked out of the room.

“Although that guy has a bad temper and his face is as cold as ice, his character is still reliable.

He got the upper hand in the last deal, so if I ask him to help find a few people this time, he probably won't refuse, right?"

"The worst that can happen is rejection, but human life is at stake, so I have to give it a try!"

……

In the entire Yangzhou city, if we were to say who saw Song Xuan's sword most clearly, it would definitely be the Gentleman Sword Yue Buqun.

Because the sword light, like a long red dragon, almost whizzed past his body, and the scorching heat was so intense that even with Zixia's internal force protecting his body, he still felt as if he was almost drained dry.

Landing on the top of the city wall, he put down Yue Lingshan and Linghu Chong in his arms. He stared blankly at the sword in Song Xuan's hand, and then at Song Xuan's calm expression.

To be honest, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really wouldn't be able to connect the incredible sword energy just now with the young man in front of him.

He is really too young, and looks to be only twenty years old at most, yet he is already so ridiculously strong.

What were you doing when you were twenty years old?

Not to mention the sword that killed Xiantian in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", even when I saw my junior sister Ning Zhongze at that time, I seemed to blush for a long time, right?

He has lived half his life in vain, and has struggled for half his life to continue the glory of the Huashan Sect, but the result is not as good as others' starting point. To be honest, Yue Buqun is quite ridiculous!

At this moment, Yue Buqun felt like he had given up. For the first time, he felt disillusioned with many things he had insisted on for half his life.

The martial arts world is so unreasonable. In front of a true genius, the martial arts you have worked hard for most of your life are not even as good as someone else's fingers.

"Thank you!"

Yue Buqun's voice was hoarse as he bowed deeply to Song Xuan.

On the top of the city wall, the city guards looked at this place from afar, but no one dared to move forward. There are many ways to seek death, and they didn't want to die too brilliantly.

Song Xuan glanced at Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan who were lying unconscious on the ground.

When his sword energy passed by them, the two of them were stunned by the shock waves generated by the high-speed sword energy. It is estimated that they will not wake up for a while.

Song Xuan looked at Yue Buqun, who had a very complicated expression, and said calmly, "This is not the place to talk. Sect Leader Yue, please follow me."

......

Qianhu Suo Yamen.

Song Xuan sat in the host seat, and Yue Buqun led Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan, who had woken up one after another, to sit in the guest seats.

Victoria Song sat carefree on one side and shouted outside, "Bring tea!"

Soon, two Xuanyiwei officials with centurion tokens hanging around their waists came in with tea sets and ingratiating smiles on their faces.

After filling the tea for everyone, Song Xuan nodded and said, "It's a small matter, just let the people below do it, there's no need for you to do it yourself."

The two centurions were flattered and said, "We are grateful to you for giving us the chance to live, and we have always wanted to do something for you. Even if it is just pouring tea or water, we will be satisfied."

Song Xuan smiled slightly, "It's enough that you have this kind of thought. I have something to say to a few guests, please leave!"

"promise!"

After the two centurions left, Yue Buqun said solemnly, "Young Master Song, are you the captain of this Thousand Household Division?"

"No, I only hold the title of centurion, and concurrently serve as the Imperial Prison Suppression Envoy."

"Then..." Yue Buqun hesitated for a moment, "This should be the Qianhu government office, right? Is it appropriate for us to sit here?"

"What's inappropriate?"

Song Qian said indifferently: "That captain surnamed Fang plotted against my brother and was already imprisoned by him. He's long been dead. Now this captain's office is my brother's territory."

"I see!"

A smile appeared on Yue Buqun's lips, but it was an unnatural smile, with even a hint of trembling.

This Song Xuan is really a ruthless character. Not only is he incredibly strong, but his methods are also terrifying. He can kill anyone his immediate boss says to, without any scruples at all.

He and his disciples and others have been blessed with life-saving grace from him. If we still dare not appreciate his kindness, we will probably not be able to leave the Qianhu Suo of Jiangzhe Prefecture alive today!

Yue Lingshan, however, hadn't thought of this at all. At this moment, she stared at Song Xuan with joy, "You, that sword energy before I passed out, was it you who slashed out and saved us?"

"Ok!"

Song Xuan hummed.

Yue Lingshan was delighted when she heard this. Although this villain's actions were somewhat unpredictable, he was really reliable and trustworthy at critical moments.

But the next moment, she felt embarrassed again.

How can she and her father repay the life-saving grace in the future?

Given the current situation of the Huashan Sect, there are no strong people inside, and Zuo Lengchan is eyeing them covetously from outside. Even if they want to repay their gratitude in the future, they probably won't be qualified, right?

At this moment, Yue Buqun suddenly stood up and walked to the center of the hall, his face serious. "When we were escaping earlier, I told Lingshan and Chong'er that if they could escape, they should come to you for help. Let me tell you, I agree to the proposal you made to me earlier!"

As he spoke, he bowed and said, "I, Yue Buqun of the Huashan Sect, wish to serve you as my lord! If you command, I will obey you until my death!"

Song Xuan stood up with a smile on his face.

It was not surprising for him that Yue Buqun would surrender.

Because apart from this path, Lao Yue has no other way to survive.

As long as Zuo Lengchan is alive, the Huashan Sect will never have peace. In the case of insufficient strength, Yue Buqun must find a backer to ensure the continuation of the Huashan Sect.

But at this moment, Linghu Chong, whose injuries had not yet healed, suddenly stood up and stared at Yue Buqun in disbelief.

"Master, I don't agree!"

"You are the renowned Gentleman Sword in the martial arts world, the head of a sect. How could you be a lackey of the imperial court?"

"If this gets out, won't I be laughed to death by the martial arts heroes?!"

Chapter 75 This heartless person!

After being interrupted by the young man Linghu Chong, Yue Buqun did not continue speaking. Instead, he stared at his senior disciple, whom he respected very much, with an expression of disbelief.

Song Xuan chuckled, "Master Yue, how do you feel?"

Yue Buqun sighed deeply, his expression unable to conceal the disappointment, "I'm a little disappointed, and a little disheartened."

Yue Lingshan was puzzled and said, "Dad, even if what Senior Brother said was unpleasant, it was for your own good. Don't you think that being disappointed is a bit too serious?"

Song Qian burst out laughing, looked at Yue Buqun, and said, "Old Yue, your ability to teach your disciples is really not very good. These two people look quite old, but why are they so naive?"

Yue Buqun remained silent because he could not refute what Song Qian said.

Look at the Song brother and sister, they are so young but each one is more capable than the other.

Then he looked at his eldest disciple whom he had raised as his son and his ignorant daughter. Each one was dumber than the other. From this point of view, there was indeed a problem in his teaching of his disciples.

Yue Lingshan snorted and looked at Song Qian unconvincedly, "Sister Song, I admit that you are strong, but there is no need to ridicule me like this, right?

What was wrong with what I just said?"

Song Qian pondered for a moment, stared at Yue Lingshan, and slowly uttered two words.

"Shabi!"

"what?"

Yue Lingshan didn't react for a moment.

"I say..." Song Qian's voice became louder, pointing at Yue Lingshan and Linghu Chong, and said, "You two idiots!"

"You!" Yue Lingshan was furious. "How could you say such filthy words!"

"Calling you idiots is an understatement!"

Song Qian sneered, "Your Huashan Sect is only one step away from being wiped out. As a disciple and a daughter, instead of helping your master and father with their worries and difficulties, you're only thinking about how to save face!"

She looked at Linghu Chong coldly, "Yue Lingshan is young and ignorant, and can't see the current situation of Huashan Sect clearly. Then, Linghu Chong, as the eldest disciple of Huashan Sect, don't tell me that you don't understand the current situation facing Huashan Sect!"

Linghu Chong was stunned for a moment. "What's going on?"

He frowned and said, "The Songshan Sect surrounded and attacked us today. I still don't understand why. The Five Mountains Sword Sects have always been united. By doing this, isn't Zuo Lengchan just cutting off his own arm?"

Victoria Song: “…”

Miss Song didn't know what to say. The thinking of this Huashan Sect's senior disciple really caught her off guard.

Song Xuan looked at Yue Buqun with some sympathy, "Master Yue, I have to say that your Huashan Sect disciples are truly a breath of fresh air in the martial arts world.

From an outsider's perspective, I naturally hope that there will be more people like Linghu Chong who are simple and have no bad intentions in the world.

If there were more people like this, there would be fewer conflicts in the martial arts world.

But from your perspective as the leader, I feel tired for you.

To be honest, I don't understand why you have been struggling to support the Huashan Sect until now.

Yue Buqun took a deep breath and said to Linghu Chong in a deep voice, "Chong'er, you are not young anymore. In a few years, you will be thirty years old. It is time for you to become mature and responsible.

You said that it was a disgrace for your master to be a lackey of the imperial court, and you don’t understand. That’s okay. Your master will give you time to slowly understand.

When we return to Huashan, you must go to the cliff in the back of the mountain and reflect on yourself. When you understand why your master did this, you can leave the mountain!"

"Master!" Linghu Chong was not quite convinced. He had never had a good impression of the imperial court and could not accept that the Huashan Sect had gone from being a martial arts sect to a minion of the imperial court.

"Get out!" Yue Buqun shouted coldly, "Wait outside. Master doesn't want to see you right now!"

As he spoke, he pointed at Yue Lingshan and said, "You go out and wait too. Your father has something to say to the Lord!"

Yue Lingshan opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

In fact, she didn't react that strongly to her father's surrender to the imperial court. She was just a little puzzled. After all, he was her own father, so he couldn't possibly harm her, right?

When she reached the door, Yue Lingshan paused for a moment, then turned around and glanced at Song Xuan, who had a gentle smile on his face.

She remembered that after this evil man kidnapped her, she had asked him, if he wasn't after money or martial arts, then what was he after?

When this guy said he was after people, she had been thinking about it for a long time.

It turned out that this evil man did not lie, he really was trying to kill people.

But the target was not Yue Lingshan, but her own father, the Gentleman Sword, who was quite famous in the martial arts world!

Turning around and walking out the door with a complicated expression, Yue Lingshan looked up at the sky speechlessly.

She felt that her thoughts were so messy!

in the hall,

Yue Buqun smiled bitterly, clasped his fists and said, "My Lord, I am sorry to have embarrassed you."

"Nothing, this is normal."

Song Xuan consoled him, "After all, you're young. You've been in the martial arts world for a long time, and everyone calls you 'young hero'. Who wouldn't be confused?

It's normal for him to feel uncomfortable with the fact that he went from being a young hero to a despicable lackey of the imperial court."

Yue Buqun sighed, "I knew Chong'er would not be able to accept it. I expected this. But I didn't expect him to be so brainless and so heartless!
