Zongwu: After reading my diary, my master's wife collapsed

"Ah? This, it's not really any kung fu, it's just our Huashan swordsmanship. It's just that I'm too powerful, so the Huashan swordsmanship can exert such a strong power in my hands." Linghu Chong looked around and finally attributed everything to his own strength.

Hearing Linghu Chong's answer, Yue Lingshan felt a little disappointed, and Ning Zhongze sighed imperceptibly.

As for Yue Buqun, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

How could Linghu Chong's seemingly disorganized martial arts be the Huashan swordsmanship? Although Yue Buqun couldn't understand it, he knew that Linghu Chong had learned a profound martial art from somewhere.

To be honest, this was Linghu Chong's own adventure. If Linghu Chong didn't want to donate this martial arts to the sect, Yue Buqun could understand it to some extent. But Linghu Chong was so secretive, even not telling him what martial arts he learned, when he learned it, and from whom, which made Yue Buqun feel uncomfortable.

That’s right, Yue Buqun now regards Ye Xiu as the next leader of the Huashan Sect, and even teaches the Zixia Gong to Ye Xiu.

But this is only for a month.

Before that, for more than ten years, Yue Buqun thought he had treated Linghu Chong well. Even Yue Lingshan did not spend as much time and energy on Linghu Chong as he did. But now, Linghu Chong was hiding things from him.

What's more, Yue Buqun suspected that Linghu Chong was using the legendary sword technique to ward off evil spirits!

After all, when Linghu Chong was in Hengyang City, he had come into contact with Lin Zhennan and his wife before they died. Maybe he got the Exorcism Sword Technique from them.

As for the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism, it was something Yue Buqun had been eyeing for a long time.

Now, Linghu Chong may have obtained the Sword Manual of Exorcism, but he did not share it with him at all and instead hid it privately. This made Yue Buqun feel disappointed and angry towards Linghu Chong.

Yue Buqun hoped that Linghu Chong would be able to be honest with him and tell him what martial arts he had learned, and preferably would be able to share it with others. Then Yue Buqun would pass on this martial art to Ye Xiu, the man he favored to be the next leader of the Huashan Sect, so that Ye Xiu's strength could be improved quickly and he would have the ability to protect himself sooner.

Chapter 89: Disappointed Ning Zhongze

"Chong'er, congratulations on your breakthrough to the innate realm. Now, you can become the pillar of the Huashan Sect." Ning Zhongze said to Linghu Chong in a gentle and kind tone.

"Master's wife, when you say that, I feel a huge pressure. Hahaha." Linghu Chong scratched his head and said with a smile, but in his heart he was very proud and even very proud.

After all, for the Huashan Sect, innate masters are indeed very important.

"Chong'er, since you have become an innate master, it is time for me to tell you about the current situation of our Huashan Sect." Ning Zhongze continued.

"Huh? What's the current situation of Huashan Sect?" Linghu Chong looked at Ning Zhongze in confusion.

“Chong'er, let me first tell you about the origins of the three people who came up the mountain today and claimed to be the Huashan Sword Sect. In fact, the Sword Sect was originally a branch of our Huashan Sect, but…” Ning Zhongze began to tell about the existence of the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect of the Huashan Sect, and the conflict between the two, which led to the huge Huashan Sect becoming what it is today.

Linghu Chong widened his eyes and looked at Ning Zhongze in surprise. He did not expect that the Huashan Sect would be like this.

When he first joined Huashan Sect, there were only Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze and his junior sister Yue Lingshan in the entire sect. It was only after he was accepted as a disciple by Yue Buqun that more and more disciples joined the sect, and Huashan Sect gradually became more populated.

But Linghu Chong had never thought about these things before, and had never thought about why.

It seems like this is what the Huashan Sect should be like.

"...Your master has paid a lot and finally made the Huashan Sect what it is today." Ning Zhongze said and couldn't help but sigh.

"It is indeed not easy for the old master." Linghu Chong nodded.

"Yes, in fact, if this is the case, it would not matter if your master and I worked harder and tireder, and let Huashan Sect develop slowly. However, the situation of Huashan Sect is actually more dangerous than you think."

"Is the Huashan Sect in danger?" Linghu Chong was stunned.

"Let's not talk about those people and forces who are jealous of Huashan Sect and want to replace it. As long as Zuo Lengchan talks about the situation of our Five Mountains Sword Sect, he has been eyeing our Huashan Sect. If there hadn't been an accident in Hengyang City before, Liu Zhengfeng would never have been able to retire so smoothly. Then, Zuo Lengchan started to attack our Huashan Sect, so they found the three people from the Sword Sect who were living in seclusion and tried to drive us away." Ning Zhongze said, with a bit of fatigue between his brows, he was tired in his heart.

"This, we are all of the same bloodline in the Five Mountains Sword Sect, how could it be possible that -"

"The Five Mountains Sword Sects are of the same blood, maybe it was true in the past, but people's hearts always change. Zuo Lengchan now wants to merge the Five Mountains and turn them into one. Their action failed this time, but the next action may be even more vicious. If our Huashan Sect does not prepare early, we may be wiped out by Zuo Lengchan." Ning Zhongze's expression became more and more bitter.

Linghu Chong frowned. He had not expected that the Huashan Sect's situation would be so difficult and dangerous. However, the Songshan Sect would attack the Huashan Sect? Linghu Chong was still a little unpredictable.

After all, the slogan that the Five Mountains Sword Sects are of the same blood has been shouted for so long that Linghu Chong has become accustomed to it.

"Master's wife, then, what can I do?" Linghu Chong calmed himself down a little and asked Ning Zhongze.

"Of course, you have to improve your strength as quickly as possible, so that you can protect our Huashan Sect from the conspiracy of the Songshan Sect."

"I will, Master. I will practice diligently and seriously." Linghu Chong nodded vigorously.

At this time, Linghu Chong felt a little regretful. He should not have been so playful before and should not have worked hard for three days and rested his net for two days. In this way, he could have entered the innate realm earlier and contributed to the Huashan Sect.

"It's good that you can figure it out. You should practice well in the future and don't always think about playing." Ning Zhongze's tone became more and more kind.

"Master's wife, rest assured. I will work hard on my training from now on." Linghu Chong promised, patting his chest.

"It's good that you can practice hard. In fact, although our Huashan Sect's kung fu is not bad, it still emphasizes gradual progress, and the improvement of strength is relatively slow. It would be great if there was some method that could allow disciples to improve their strength in a short period of time." Ning Zhongze said, looking at Linghu Chong.

After hearing what Ning Zhongze said, Linghu Chong felt a little guilty, especially the look in Ning Zhongze's eyes, which made Linghu Chong dodge and turn his head away, not daring to look at Ning Zhongze.

In fact, Ning Zhongze's words also made Linghu Chong somewhat moved.

The situation of Huashan Sect, according to what Ning Zhongze said, is very dangerous, and what is needed is to quickly improve the strength, both for himself and for Huashan Sect as a whole.

The Dugu Nine Swords did indeed greatly increase his strength in a short period of time.

But, let Linghu Chong take out the Dugu Nine Swords and teach it to the disciples of Huashan Sect?

Linghu Chong hesitated for a moment and directly rejected this idea.

On the one hand, it was because he had promised Feng Qingyang that he would not reveal his information to outsiders, including Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze. Therefore, Dugu Jiujian could not accept it. Telling it to others would be a violation of his oath, which was difficult for Linghu Chong to do.

On the other hand, it is absolutely true that Dugu Nine Swords is a sword technique, and even Linghu Chong himself became much stronger after learning this sword technique. But——

Dugu Nine Swords is a martial art that requires extremely high comprehension. People with lower comprehension may not be able to learn Dugu Nine Swords.

In Linghu Chong's eyes, even his master and his mistress might not have this level of understanding.

Since he had obtained the Dugu Nine Swords, it was impossible for it to have much impact on the overall strength of Huashan, so in the end, Linghu Chong simply kept silent.

Ning Zhongze originally had some expectations for Linghu Chong. After all, Linghu Chong had been raised and cultivated by Ning Zhongze as his own son for so many years.

In order to make Linghu Chong wake up, Ning Zhongze even went out of her way to tell Linghu Chong about the crisis that the Huashan Sect was facing, hoping that Linghu Chong would put the overall situation first and tell him about the Dugu Nine Swords.

However, Linghu Chong kept silent and did not say a word!

Ning Zhongze felt choked up and felt particularly uncomfortable.

If she hadn't told Linghu Chong what kind of crisis the Huashan Sect would be facing, Linghu Chong would have kept silent and just treated it as a personal adventure.

But now, Linghu Chong already knows that the Huashan Sect may be destroyed by the Songshan Sect at any time, and is facing this disaster of annihilation that may happen at any time.

But Linghu Chong still didn't mention Dugu Jiujian at all. It was obvious how disappointed Ning Zhongze was.

(In the original novel, the Huashan Sect was almost wiped out in the Yaowang Temple, but Linghu Chong still did not mention the Dugu Nine Swords. He never thought of teaching the Dugu Nine Swords to enhance the strength of the Huashan Sect to protect itself.)

Chapter 90 Magical Skills

"Senior Brother, why is Chong'er--Alas!" Ning Zhongze couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong with Junior Sister?" Yue Buqun was slightly stunned.

"I just found Chong'er and told him about the situation of our Huashan Sect. I was thinking that he would tell me something, but he said nothing. Brother, we are not that bad against Chong'er, why is Chong'er..." Ning Zhongze originally didn't want to say this to Yue Buqun. After all, Ning Zhongze herself was not a gossipy woman.

But this time, Ning Zhongze was so sad that he could hardly control his emotions.

After hearing what Ning Zhongze said, Yue Buqun was slightly stunned, and his expression became a little gloomy, but he still took a deep breath and suppressed the gloom in his heart: "Perhaps Chong'er has his own considerations."

"I just feel--ah." Ning Zhongze couldn't help but sigh again.

"Okay, Junior Sister, let Chong'er think whatever he wants. We should focus on training Xiu'er from now on. Xiu'er has great talent and character, and is very suitable to be the next leader of the Huashan Sect. We should focus our energy on Xiu'er." Yue Buqun didn't want to talk about Linghu Chong anymore, so he directly shifted the topic to Ye Xiu.

Sure enough, after hearing the name Ye Xiu, Ning Zhongze's frown relaxed.

"Yes, with Xiu'er here, our Huashan Sect will surely rise." Ning Zhongze thought of Ye Xiu's diary. As long as she had that diary, her strength would continue to grow, and Ye Xiu's cultivation would improve even faster. As long as Ye Xiu was given some time, it wouldn't even take too long, even just a year, Ye Xiu would be able to grow up.

Yue Buqun couldn't help but smile when listening to Ning Zhongze's words. He didn't know as much as Ning Zhongze, but he also knew that Ye Xiu could lead Huashan to go higher and further.

As long as Ye Xiu is here, he, Yue Buqun, will be worthy of the ancestors of the Huashan Sect.

After Linghu Chong returned to his room, he couldn't help but think of what Ning Zhongze had said to him. He didn't expect that the situation of Huashan Sect was so bad.

However, Linghu Chong did not regret not telling anyone about the Dugu Nine Swords. Even though his master's wife Ning Zhongze had a look of disappointment on her face when she left, Linghu Chong still did not regret it.

Because Linghu Chong had once promised Feng Qingyang that he would never reveal Feng Qingyang's existence.

"Then next, I will definitely practice hard and work hard to improve my strength. As long as my strength is improved, I will naturally be able to help the Huashan Sect overcome the crisis." Linghu Chong's eyes flashed with determination, and then for the first time in his life, he did not rest at night, but began to sit cross-legged in meditation and began to practice internal skills.

Linghu Chong didn't know that Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze, and even Yue Lingshan, the three of them, were extremely disappointed in him.

Originally, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze still treated Linghu Chong as their own son, but now, Linghu Chong has begun to lose the weight of their own son in their hearts, and even Linghu Chong has lost the position of their personal disciple in their hearts. If it weren't for the affection they had for raising Linghu Chong since he was a child, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze might have driven Linghu Chong away from Huashan.

……

"The three guys from the Sword Sect are here, along with Lu Bai from the Songshan Sect and Lu Lianrong from the Hengshan Sect."

"This is not unexpected to me. After all, if Zuo Lengchan didn't look for trouble, he wouldn't be Zuo Lengchan."

"Linghu Chong came down from the Cliff of Repentance, and his martial arts skills improved greatly. Not only did his cultivation level break through the innate level, but his swordsmanship also became more powerful. I'm afraid Linghu Chong has already learned the Dugu Nine Swords."

"From this time on, the gap between Linghu Chong and Lao Yue began to build up. No, the gap seemed to have been built at the Medicine King Temple when Linghu Chong blinded the eyes of fifteen masters with one sword."

"But those are all plots from the original novel. This time, Linghu Chong did not have the opportunity to learn the Five Mountains Sword School. So when Linghu Chong competed with Cong Buqi, he should have used the Dugu Nine Swords."

"I'm afraid Linghu Chong will not reveal the information about Dugu Nine Swords, so there will be a rift between him and Yue Buqun. After the Medicine King Temple, the rift between Linghu Chong and Old Yue will become deeper and deeper."

"In fact, if I were Old Yue, I would probably be so angry that I would want to kill someone if I met a bastard like Linghu Chong."

"In the storyline of Medicine King Temple in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Zuo Lengchan sent so many masters to attack the Huashan Sect. The Master's Wife was injured and lost her combat effectiveness, the Junior Sister Yue Lingshan was captured, and some Huashan Sect disciples died under the enemy's swords. Those people even wanted to insult the Master's Wife. Only Old Yue was still barely holding on."

"How desperate must Lao Yue be at that time? Lao Yue must have wanted to kill everyone at that time, but he was powerless to do anything."

"Although later on, Linghu Chong jumped out and, with all his martial arts skills gone, used the Dugu Nine Swords to blind the eyes of fifteen masters with one sword, allowing the Huashan Sect to survive the crisis."

"But that scene of being powerless in the face of a powerful enemy must have been deeply imprinted in Lao Yue's heart. At that time, Lao Yue must have been very eager to become stronger. At that time, Lao Yue's desire to become stronger must have surpassed everything else."

"But Linghu Chong said nothing."

"Even though he lost all his martial arts skills, he was still able to blind fifteen masters with one sword. How could Old Yue not be interested in such martial arts? But Linghu Chong said nothing."

"If it were me, I would have to kill this traitor."

"Linghu Chong, Linghu Chong, you are trustworthy and loyal, but you should also look at the situation. Aren't you worried that the Huashan Sect will be wiped out? And Feng Qingyang didn't allow you to leak his information, but he didn't forbid you to spread the Dugu Nine Swords, right? What? Do you still want to hide the Dugu Nine Swords for the rest of your life? Even if you die of old age, you won't let anyone know?"

"Tsk, hypocrisy - um, well, I don't think I told Lao Yue about the Blood Knife Sutra and the Wind God Leg - it seems like the pot calling the kettle black."

"Okay, let's find a chance to give the Blood Knife Sutra and Wind God Leg to Lao Yue."

"Or should I write down the martial arts and hide it where Lao Yue can find it, and let him discover it himself?"

"That's possible. It would be more appropriate to let Old Yue discover it himself rather than for me to hand it over to him. So, let Old Yue have an adventure."

"It's a wonderful encounter, this is a treatment only the protagonist can enjoy. Old Yue, I'm completely worthy of you."

"After you get the Wind God Leg, don't even think about the Sword Manual of Exorcism. After all, the Sword Manual of Exorcism has too high a cultivation requirement. What's more, the Sword Manual of Exorcism is only a fragment of the Sunflower Manual."

"The Purple Cloud Secret Manual is the basics. The Sunflower Manual is the pinnacle. I don't know if there is any connection between the Purple Cloud Skill and the Sunflower Manual in this world. Otherwise, I can find a chance to find the Sword Manual of Exorcism from the old house in Xiangyang Lane and take a look."

"What if there is a real connection between Zixia Gong and Sunflower Manual in this world? Maybe Sunflower Manual can be practiced without castration?"

"Although I can get a martial arts skill every month, I still feel a little uncomfortable if I don't take advantage of it."

"But speaking of martial arts secrets - the Great Song Kingdom and Dali Wuliang Mountain have the Bei Ming Divine Art and Ling Bo Wei Bu. How about finding a chance to take them out?"

"After all, the Bei Ming Divine Art is not a simple art. Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Art is only a fragment of the Bei Ming Divine Art. Duan Yu, that kid, relied on the Bei Ming Divine Art to absorb hundreds of years of cultivation, and then relied on the Lingbo Microsteps to travel the world."

"I just don't know if Duan Yu has already obtained the Northern Divine Art and Light Footsteps."

"I should have gotten it. Duan Yu is a pure protagonist. He encountered peerless martial arts after falling off a cliff, and then he started to meet beautiful women one after another, and every beautiful woman was his sister."

"And every mistress became a real sister. Duan Zhengchun is really awesome."

"Whenever Duan Yu meets a beautiful woman who makes his heart beat, she is the daughter of Duan Zhengchun. Fortunately, Duan Yu is not Duan Zhengchun's biological son, otherwise Duan Yu would be a bachelor for the rest of his life. Well, no matter what, Duan Yu will be the emperor of Dali in the future, so he can't be a bachelor forever."

"Wang Yuyan, Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling, Ah Zhu, Ah Zi. I don't know if Duan Zhengchun has any other daughters besides these five. Given Duan Zhengchun's romantic personality, he shouldn't have more than five lovers, right?"

"Uh, how come I strayed off to the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils while writing? Forget it. I won't write any more. I've written enough today."

"I've become addicted to writing this diary."

Ye Xiu finished writing his diary and closed it. Then, his internal Qi began to grow for a month. Then, his understanding of the Wind God Leg came to his mind again. His control over the Wind God Leg became deeper.

After Ye Xiu finished writing his diary, Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan on Mount Hua were very surprised when they saw that Ye Xiu wrote in his diary that he would find a way to pass the Blood Knife Sutra and the Wind God Leg to Yue Buqun.

Looking at what Ye Xiu was going to do and then comparing it with what Linghu Chong had done, in their hearts, Ye Xiu became more and more reliable, and the impression of Linghu Chong in their minds became worse and worse.

……

"Northern Sea Divine Art? The Star-Absorbing Art originated from the fragments of the Northern Sea Divine Art? It's really interesting." Dongfang Bubai was a little interested in this news.
