As for whether Feng Qingyang would stand up to help Feng Buping and the others, Ning Zhongze was not worried either. If Feng Qingyang really had ambitions for the position of Huashan Sect's leader, he wouldn't have to wait until now. As for Feng Buping, who supported the Sword Sect? Feng Qingyang was about to teach Linghu Chong the Dugu Nine Swords, so why would he care about these three Sword Sect remnants?
Of course, another reason is that Ning Zhongze received two rewards from the diary, and her strength improved by leaps and bounds.
Although Ning Zhongze is only at the seventh level of the innate realm now, she has become very proficient in the Nineteen Moves of the Jade Maiden Sword with the help of the diary. In addition, she has been studying the Jade Maiden Sword technique during this period, which has made the Nineteen Moves of the Jade Maiden Sword even more powerful.
Ning Zhongze thought that her current strength might be slightly inferior to Yue Buqun, but this was only the difference caused by Zixia Gong.
Ning Zhongze didn't think that the three people in front of him, even Lu Bai from the Songshan School, could pose any threat to him.
When Yue Buqun heard Ning Zhongze say the words "return to one's roots", his pupils shrank slightly. He thought to himself that it would be good if Feng Buping and the other two could really put aside their differences in sword energy and rejoin the Huashan Sect.
Even though Ye Xiu had amazing talent, it was only talent. It would take some time to convert talent into strength. And the Huashan Sect currently had too few experts, only him and Ning Zhongze.
You know, Songshan Sect has Thirteen Guardians.
If Feng Buping and the other three were able to trace their roots and return to the Huashan Sect, they could also provide Ye Xiu with a certain amount of protection during his growth period.
However, looking at the attitudes of Feng Buping and the other three, Yue Buqun knew that it would not be so easy to get them to return to their roots.
Yue Buqun thought, glancing at Ye Xiu from the corner of his eye. However, if Ye Xiu was used as a trump card, there might be a chance to pull Feng Buping and the others back.
Thinking of this, Yue Buqun's expression looked much better.
Yue Buqun and his group and Feng Buping and his group were about to get into an argument.
Lu Bai's eyes turned.
"Cough cough!" Lu Bai coughed, attracting everyone's attention.
"Actually, although my senior brother is the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, he is not very willing to interfere in the internal affairs of the Huashan Sect. It's just that the three people from the Sword Sect asked my senior brother for help, so my senior brother had to send me here." Lu Bai changed his previous commanding tone and said.
Hearing Lu Bai's words, Yue Buqun's eyes flashed with surprise. Cong Buqi and Cheng Buyu were both dissatisfied and almost wanted to curse. Feng Buping was relatively calm and stopped his two junior brothers.
"Senior Brother Lu, what do you mean?" Yue Buqun asked in a kind tone.
"We in the martial arts world, when it comes down to it, value martial arts. So, let's arrange a competition. Feng Buping and his three companions, and your Huashan Sect will also send three people. Whichever side wins in the end, the Huashan Sect will belong to that side." Lu Bai said clearly.
"Okay, let's do as Senior Brother Lu said." Feng Buping agreed immediately with full confidence. After Feng Buping created the Wind Blade, he had the illusion that he was invincible, and felt that Yue Buqun was no match for him, so he strongly agreed to the duel.
"That's right, it's three against three, and whoever wins will take charge of the Huashan Sect!" Cheng Buyou said loudly.
"Yes, that's right." Cong Buqi also nodded.
They both felt that Yue Buqun could not be a match for Feng Buping.
“In that case, then okay, let’s have a three-on-three competition. But I hope that if you three lose, you will no longer have any delusions about the position of the head of the Huashan Sect. But I still welcome you three to return to Huashan.” Although Feng Buping and the others’ confidence made Yue Buqun a little wary, Yue Buqun was also confident in his own strength. Of course, there was another point, that he had no reason to refuse such a competition.
Just like Lu Bai said, people in the martial arts world must ultimately conquer others with force.
Ning Zhongze was also full of anticipation for this so-called competition and was eager to try.
Chapter 84 Linghu Chong Enters Xiantian
"I wonder which three people Sect Leader Yue wants to fight?" Lu Bai said, his eyes sweeping over the many disciples of Huashan Sect, lingering on Ye Xiu for a few seconds, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness.
Although Lu Bai had never seen Ye Xiu before, he collected data and information about Ye Xiu in just one night, so he recognized Ye Xiu at a glance.
As for Ye Xiu's information, it was written very clearly, and the evaluation of Ye Xiu was very low, saying that Ye Xiu had poor aptitude and low cultivation.
The information seemed to be very complete and perfect. However, the more it seemed like this, the more Lu Bai felt that this information was deliberately released by Yue Buqun to confuse others.
This time, Lu Bai proposed a three-on-three competition to see if Ye Xiu would stand up and show his strength.
After all, according to their investigation, in the entire Huashan Sect, there are only three people who have entered the innate realm: Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze and Ye Xiu.
Of course, Lu Bai didn’t think that Yue Buqun would really let Ye Xiu fight. After all, if Ye Xiu was really that talented, if he were Yue Buqun, he would also hide Ye Xiu well.
Lu Bai's proposal of a three-on-three duel was just a test. In fact, Lu Bai had already prepared a backup plan to deal with Ye Xiu, and even to destroy the entire Huashan Sect.
"I! I, Linghu Chong, want to fight for the Huashan Sect!" Linghu Chong's voice came from far away. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Linghu Chong running towards them quickly.
And further away, there was a slightly embarrassed figure chasing Linghu Chong, it was Lu Dayou.
After the Sword Sect's people went up the mountain, Lu Dayou actually went to find Linghu Chong as soon as possible. It must be said that his behavior was really a bit strange.
After hearing Linghu Chong's voice, Yue Buqun frowned subconsciously, because Linghu Chong should be receiving punishment on the Cliff of Regret now. However, when he looked at Linghu Chong, there was a hint of surprise on his face.
Because Linghu Chong's aura was a little unstable, it seemed that he had just broken through to the innate realm.
"Chong'er actually broke through to the Xiantian realm?" Yue Buqun was somewhat shocked, but also somewhat surprised.
Yue Buqun didn't expect that Linghu Chong would break through to the innate realm at this time. Not long ago, Ye Xiu broke through to the innate realm, and now Linghu Chong also broke through.
Although Linghu Chong is much older than Ye Xiu, he is already 25 years old.
But breaking through the innate abilities at the age of 25 can still be called a genius.
At least when Yue Buqun broke through to the innate realm, he was two years older than Linghu Chong.
Therefore, as long as Linghu Chong practices well and nothing unexpected happens during the process, his final achievement will definitely be higher than Yue Buqun. It can even be said that as long as Linghu Chong does not encounter any accidents, he can definitely break through to the Grandmaster level.
One who breaks through to the innate realm at the age of eighteen may become a grandmaster in the future, and one who breaks through to the innate realm at the age of twenty-five will most likely become a grandmaster-level expert in the future.
With two such disciples, as long as nothing unexpected happens, the rise of Huashan Sect is just around the corner!
Yue Buqun's eyes flashed with joy. Then he glanced at Lu Bai and the three people from Jian Zong, his mind turning quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he had an idea.
"Chong'er, have you achieved a breakthrough?" Yue Buqun asked Linghu Chong with a look of joy on his face.
"Yes, Master. I was lucky enough to have made a breakthrough." Linghu Chong was in high spirits, with an expression of joy and pride that was difficult to conceal on his face.
Linghu Chong felt that his breakthrough to the innate realm this time was definitely outstanding in the Huashan Sect. Perhaps, by entering the innate realm, he could regain the attention of his master Yue Buqun, and also make his junior sister pay attention to him again and return to his side.
When he thought of this, Linghu Chong felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
"Congratulations, Master Yue. Your disciple has actually broken through to the innate realm." Lu Bai congratulated him with a fist salute.
“Thank you, I didn’t expect that Chong’er’s luck would be so good, hahaha.” Yue Buqun pretended to be humble, but he couldn’t help showing his happiness.
This time, Yue Buqun wanted to put Linghu Chong in the open and make him a target, so that outsiders would focus their attention on Linghu Chong. In this way, he could better hide Ye Xiu and ensure that Ye Xiu could grow up safely.
It’s just that Yue Buqun’s idea is a good one. If nothing unexpected happens, his approach can really deceive outsiders.
Unfortunately, Ye Xiu, the disciple who broke through to the innate realm at the age of eighteen, had already been known to everyone, even the three people from Songshan Sect and the Sword Sect knew about it.
Yue Buqun's plan was doomed to fail.
The three members of the Sword Sect looked at Linghu Chong with twinkling eyes. They had not expected that before they could confirm whether Ye Xiu had broken through to the Xiantian realm at the age of 18, another disciple who had broken through to the Xiantian realm had appeared.
How good is Yue Buqun at teaching his disciples? He actually trained two innate disciples.
Not to mention Ye Xiu's eighteen-year-old, the disciple in front of him who had just broken through to the Xiantian realm looked to be only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Another genius disciple!
A gloomy look flashed across Feng Buping and the others' eyes, along with a hint of relief.
They were glad that they came out early. If they had waited a few years and the disciples of Huashan Sect had grown up, they would have had no chance of taking back Huashan Sect.
As for the Huashan Sect, they were very happy that Linghu Chong had become a congenital master. After all, Linghu Chong had a very high reputation among the disciples of the Huashan Sect.
Ye Xiu, on the other hand, looked at Linghu Chong twice more, wondering, does Linghu Chong's breakthrough of the innate realm mean that he has already learned the Dugu Nine Swords?
Even though Ye Xiu felt that he already had a martial art, the Wind God Leg, that was comparable to the Dugu Nine Swords, he was still a little envious of the Dugu Nine Swords, a sword technique that was said to be able to break all innate martial arts.
Linghu Chong also looked at Ye Xiu, and even when he saw Ye Xiu, there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
"Come on, I, Linghu Chong, will be the first to appear. Who among you will go up?" Linghu Chong felt a little inflated in his heart, and without caring that Yue Buqun had not made any arrangements yet, he spoke directly to the three people from the Sword Sect in a casual manner.
Cong Buqi snorted coldly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Originally, he was full of hatred for the Huashan Qi Sect, but Linghu Chong didn't take them seriously. Cong Buqi decided that he would kill this "genius" who had just broken through to the innate level, and he wanted to make Yue Buqun feel the pain.
"Senior Brother Feng, Senior Brother Cheng, let me teach this arrogant young man a lesson." Cong Buqi's voice was a little cold.
Seeing Cong Buqi standing up, Linghu Chong was not afraid at all. Instead, he was eager to try to gain points. He was now looking for someone to test the power of Dugu Nine Swords.
Chapter 85 The Old Yue Changed
Cong Buqi's internal strength is at the fourth level of innate, which is slightly weaker than Ning Zhongze who got the diary. However, as a disciple of the Sword Sect, Cong Buqi is slightly better than Ning Zhongze in swordsmanship. But in terms of overall strength, he may be weaker than Ning Zhongze at that time.
Of course, if he is compared with the current Ning Zhongze, he is even worse.
Although Cong Buqi is not as good as Ning Zhongze, his current opponent is Linghu Chong.
Linghu Chong had only just broken through to the Xiantian realm, and even though he was extremely gifted in swordsmanship, his swordsmanship was not that great due to his habit of practicing swordsmanship only for three days and then not for two days. However, now that Linghu Chong had learned the Dugu Nine Swords from Feng Qingyang, this martial art was forcibly brought up in Linghu Chong's hands.
"Linghu Chong, right? Don't say that I didn't give you a chance. I let you, a junior, make the first move." Cong Buqi looked at Linghu Chong with disdain.
Ye Xiu, who was watching the fight from the side, couldn't help laughing at Cong Buqi's appearance. Was he going to take the initiative to put his face in front of Linghu Chong and let Linghu Chong slap him in the face?
How can I describe Linghu Chong? He is not a gentleman. After hearing Cong Buqi's words, a cunning flashed in his eyes: "Since the senior has said so, if I don't take action first, it would be disrespecting the senior. Senior, watch out for the sword!"
Cong Buqi saw Linghu Chong use the move of Welcoming Guests with Green Pines, but the move was used a little crookedly, and it looked like the Huashan School's swordsmanship was not practiced well enough. Cong Buqi couldn't help but sneer in his eyes.
"So what if you broke through to the Xiantian realm at the age of twenty? With such poor swordsmanship, what kind of combat effectiveness can you bring out? As expected of a Qi Sect disciple, you are so unbearable." Cong Buqi sneered, looking down on Linghu Chong from the bottom of his heart. It can be said that at this moment, he did not take Linghu Chong seriously at all.
In fact, Yue Buqun and even Ning Zhongze couldn't help but change color when they saw Linghu Chong draw his sword, because Linghu Chong's performance was so bad.
But just when Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze were worried, Linghu Chong's sword suddenly turned, and very cleverly, it had already stopped at Cong Buqi's throat before Cong Buqi drew his sword.
"Thank you!" Linghu Chong smiled happily. He didn't expect that the martial arts he learned from Feng Qingyang would be so useful.
Cong Buqi looked bewildered, stunned and confused. Something was wrong.
"No, you cheated. What happened just now doesn't count. Start over. Start over again." Cong Buqi shouted loudly.
His appearance made the others laugh, especially Lu Dayou and his friends, who laughed the most wildly. Cong Buqi's old face turned red because of their laughter, and his eyes flashed with shame, anger and murderous intent.
“Tsk tsk tsk, I didn’t expect that as a senior, you can’t even afford to lose when competing with a junior?” Linghu Chong said with disdain.
Cong Buqi became even more angry when he heard Linghu Chong's voice: "Asshole, I was just careless just now and didn't dodge. But you, a junior, attacked me directly."
Cong Buqi's sophistry made others despise him even more. However, the sword that Linghu Chong had just used to subdue Cong Buqi truly puzzled Feng Buping and even Yue Buqun, because they didn't see what was going on at all.
When Ye Xiu saw this scene, he was certain that Linghu Chong had now learned the Dugu Nine Swords from Feng Qingyang. Only the Dugu Nine Swords could make his sword moves so strange.
"Junior..." Cong Buqi gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, his eyes filled with flames of anger. He really felt that he was careless, and the reason he lost was entirely because of some trick played by Linghu Chong.
"Well, since you can't afford to lose, as a disciple of Huashan Sect, I will give you a chance. After all, our Huashan Sect is famous for being a reasonable place." Linghu Chong said with a smile.
"Bastard!" Cong Buqi roared, drew his sword and charged directly towards Linghu Chong.
Cong Buqi's moves were sophisticated and ruthless, and his sword was aimed at Linghu Chong's vital points.
Faced with Cong Buqi's attack, Ning Zhongze subconsciously wanted to rescue Linghu Chong, but was stopped by Yue Buqun because Yue Buqun found that Linghu Chong had become a little confusing to him.
Speaking of Ye Xiu, even though he broke through to the innate realm at the age of eighteen, the sword skills and internal strength that Ye Xiu practiced, etc., were all owned by the Huashan Sect, and were things that Yue Buqun himself knew.
However, Linghu Chong's strange move just now made Yue Buqun feel extremely unfamiliar, and Yue Buqun couldn't help but wonder if Linghu Chong had secretly learned some martial arts.
Naturally, Yue Buqun couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable at this moment.
Linghu Chong didn't know what his master was thinking yet. He was now holding a sword and starting to fight with Cong Buqi.
This time, Cong Buqi was no longer careless and began to concentrate on attacking Linghu Chong. However, the long sword in Linghu Chong's hand, or the sword techniques used by Linghu Chong, seemed extremely strange.
The perfect set of Huashan swordsmanship was torn into pieces in Linghu Chong's hands. When he launched the attack, it was still the same move, but before it was halfway through, it had already turned into another move. When his sword was about to collide with Cong Buqi's sword, the swordsmanship changed again.
Not to mention Yue Buqun, even Cong Buqi, who was fighting against Linghu Chong, was very uncomfortable with Linghu Chong's strange sword moves.
Moreover, Cong Buqi discovered that as time went by and the two of them fought more and more often, Linghu Chong's swordsmanship became more refined and his moves became more imaginative.
If we say that at the beginning, one could still see that Linghu Chong's moves were Huashan swordsmanship, but later on, Linghu Chong's moves no longer had any trace of Huashan swordsmanship, and even became more and more strange.
Cong Buqi took the initiative to attack Linghu Chong at the beginning, but later on, Cong Buqi switched from offense to defense, and even his defense began to become more and more embarrassing.
"Nine Swords of Dugu!" Ye Xiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he looked at Linghu Chong who had been completely transformed.
Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan, because they had read Ye Xiu's diary, thought of the Dugu Nine Swords when faced with Linghu Chong's swordsmanship that was completely confusing.
Compared with them, although there was no strange expression on Yue Buqun's face, his eyes became a little different.
Yue Buqun was wondering what sword technique Linghu Chong was using. Then, the four words "Bixie Sword Manual" quickly appeared in Yue Buqun's mind.
Yue Buqun's face darkened visibly, but soon returned to normal. However, even though his expression changed so quickly, Ye Xiu, who had noticed it in advance, still saw it.
"So, will Old Yue be dissatisfied with Linghu Chong because of Dugu Jiujian?" Ye Xiu couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
Ye Xiu didn’t even know whether the plot of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer would continue normally.
