Sword from Songshan

Chapter 103: Five sects gather on the cliff of remorse

"Thinking Cliff!"

Zuo Feiying and Le Hou had been on the journey for several days and were expected to have reached Huashan, but no news came in. While Zuo Lengchan was thinking about this, he suddenly received a secret letter.

The exquisite sword moves of the Five Mountains can be found at the Siguo Cliff of Jade Maiden Peak, Mount Huashan!
The rumor has been around for a while, but it only mentioned the Jade Maiden Peak. It is not easy to find some sword moves within hundreds of miles.

Now that this secret letter points out the Cliff of Repentance, the scope has been reduced by more than a hundred times!
Zuo Lengchan had doubted the authenticity of the rumors before, after all, there were too many doubts.

Now that we have identified the Cliff of Repentance, regardless of who released the news, since they dared to narrow the scope so much, it is somewhat credible.

"……no!"

Zuo Lengchan was about to send a pigeon to send a letter to Zuo Feiying, but then he stopped.

If Zuo Feiying was the only one on Mount Hua at this time, there would be no problem, but with Le Hou accompanying him, there would be many inconveniences.

Furthermore, Yue Buqun of the Huashan Sect is a shrewd and cunning man, and Zuo Lengchan is also worried that Zuo Feiying will not be able to handle it.

"Denda!"

After a brief hesitation, Zuo Lengchan shouted.

"Pick a few capable disciples and follow me to Huashan!"

"……Yes!"

Zuo Lengchan actually wants to go to Huashan in person. Could something have happened?
Shi Dengda was surprised and suspicious, but he didn't dare to ask more questions and hurried to do it.

In less than half an hour, he selected ten elite disciples and prepared to go down the mountain with Zuo Lengchan.

"you?"

Unexpectedly, just as he arrived at the mountain gate, he met Ding Mian and Fei Bin. The two of them were accompanied by a dozen skilled fighters and were also about to go down the mountain in a hurry.

"Is the Sect Master going down the mountain?"

Ding Mian looked at Zuo Lengchan and asked with a smile.

"I don't know why you bother the Master."

"Is the big boss going down the mountain too?"

Zuo Lengchan did not answer, but asked a question directly.

"Where are you going?"

The two looked at each other in silence for a while, both frowning.

It seems that he was not the only one who got the news.

In other words, the person who delivered the message told both of them at the same time!
"The leader is of noble status, so you should stay in the sect and take charge. I will handle the minor matters down the mountain."

"Some things still need to be done personally."

Zuo Lengchan snorted lightly, ignored Ding Mian, and went straight down the mountain.

Although everyone in Songshan knew that he and Ding Mian were competing against each other, on the surface, he was still the head of the sect and Ding Mian was just the chief protector. If he forced Ding Mian to stay on the mountain, Ding Mian would have to obey.

However, he couldn't stay on the mountain and watch Ding Mian all the time. As long as he came down the mountain, who could stop Ding Mian?

As for the subsequent accountability for why he disobeyed orders and went down the mountain, Ding Mian could just make up a random excuse and Zuo Lengchan could not punish him severely for it.

In this case, Zuo Lengchan was too lazy to waste any more words. The most urgent task was to get to Huashan as soon as possible!

As for what to do at that time, it depends on the situation.

Zuo Lengchan and Ding Mian went down the mountain at the same time and rushed to Huashan together.

Both sides were afraid of being overtaken by the other side, so they rode at full speed day and night without rest. In less than two days, they arrived at the foot of Mount Hua!

After the dispute over sword energy, the Huashan Sect declined. Only Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze were left from the Bu generation, and they had only 20 to 30 disciples. It was far from being as majestic as the Songshan Sect.

There was an inn at the foot of the mountain, but there were only two farmers there, who were responsible for taking care of the horses.

As for the entrance to the mountain path, there was not even a guard.

"Go up the mountain!"

Taking a look at the steep mountain road, Zuo Lengchan shouted and walked ahead.

Ding Mian followed closely behind, not far behind.

The two men were anxious, and if they hadn't been worried that the disciples behind them wouldn't be able to keep up, they would have probably already used their lightness skills.

In less than an hour, they arrived at the Zhengqi Hall of Huashan Sect.

After entering the Huashan Sect's mountain gate, there were disciples on duty. When they saw someone from the Songshan Sect coming, they hurried to report to Yue Buqun.

"Leader Zuo! Senior Brother Ding!"

Yue Buqun came out to greet them, thinking that it was another guard who came. After all, Zuo Feiying and Le Hou had been in Huashan for several days but found nothing.

I never expected that Zuo Lengchan and Ding Mian would come in person!
"I didn't expect that the two elder brothers would come in person. I apologize for not welcoming you in person!"

"Mr. Yue, you are too kind. We came here rashly and are really disturbing you."

"Master Zuo, what are you talking about?"

Yue Buqun smiled and immediately invited Zuo Lengchan and his party into the hall.

This is Huashan, and Yue Buqun, as the host, should have sat in the main seat. But Zuo Lengchan was the leader of the Five Mountains, and his status was extraordinary, so Yue Buqun took the initiative to give up his seat and sat on the right.

Ding Mian and Fei Binbin took their seats, while the rest of the Songshan School disciples had to stand.

Seeing Zuo Lengchan occupying the high position, the Huashan Sect disciples were indignant, but seeing that the Songshan Sect was coming with such a strong momentum that even their master had to accompany them carefully, they did not dare to say anything for a while.

Ning Zhongze was in the back hall, secretly disciplining his disciples.

"Where is Feiying now?"

"Junior Brother Zuo is extremely diligent. He has been searching everywhere on the Jade Maiden Peak since he came to Huashan."

Yue Buqun smiled, then shook his head.

"But little do you know that there is no Five Mountains exquisite swordsmanship on my Jade Maiden Peak. Someone with bad intentions deliberately fabricated it, and Junior Brother Zuo has worked hard for nothing these past few days."

"Denda, go and call Feiying over."

Zuo Lengchan ignored him and gave another order.

A disciple behind Ding Mian also walked out of Zhengqi Hall quickly, obviously going to look for Le Hou.

Seeing that the two of them were not in harmony with each other, Yue Buqun laughed in his heart but did not show any expression on his face.

"Mr. Yue."

Zuo Lengchan spoke again, holding a teacup in his hand, and said slowly.

"Huashan is extremely dangerous, and Yunv Peak has many beautiful scenery. I wonder what they are all."

“The Changkong Plank Road, Baichi Gorge, Jinsuo Pass, and Canglong Ridge are all worth seeing.”

Obviously, Zuo Lengchan came here for the sword moves. Yue Buqun knew it very well and was not in a hurry.

"If you are interested, I can accompany you to visit and enjoy the sights."

"So good."

Zuo Lengchan nodded and asked seemingly unintentionally.

"I heard there is a cliff called Siguo Cliff, which has the best scenery. I wonder if it is true."

"Thinking over the cliff?"

Yue Buqun was slightly startled, wondering why he suddenly mentioned this place, and then continued.

"There is indeed such a place, but that is where our disciples face the wall to reflect on their mistakes. The cliff is bare, without even a plant or tree. It is really not worth seeing."

"No! Let's go to the Cliff of Repentance!"

Zuo Lengchan's face darkened and he was about to stand up immediately.

"correct!"

Yue Buqun wanted to persuade him, but with a loud shout, a large group of people walked in.

Mr. Mo Da, Master Ding Xian, and Elder Tianmen were actually the leaders of the other three sects, as well as the senior masters of the sect!
"This is……"

Yue Buqun was filled with surprise. How come after Zuo Lengchan, other sect leaders had also arrived?

And judging from the posture, it's clear what they're coming for!
What they rushed for was naturally the so-called exquisite sword moves of the Five Mountains.

But long before that, people from the four sects had gone up to Mount Hua one after another and searched various places at the Jade Maiden Peak for several days, but to no avail.

They suddenly came together today, and were so serious, as if they had discovered something.

How is this going?

"Mr. Mo Da, Brother Tianmen, and Master Ding Xian."

No matter what, since the person has come to your door, you cannot be impolite.

Yue Buqun quickly stood up to greet him and ordered someone to serve tea.

"I've met the leader."

Everyone greeted Zuo Lengchan and then took their seats.

Although he showed respect to Zuo Lengchan on the surface, he was secretly wary in his heart.

After all, this time, everyone came here for swordsmanship!

Zuo Lengchan looked at the leaders of the various sects and frowned secretly. Judging from the current situation, they should have also received the news and knew that the sword moves were hidden in the Cliff of Repentance.

How did he know that? Of course, someone sent a letter.

Moreover, the person who delivered the letter was extremely clever. Compared with the Songshan and Hengshan sects, the Taishan sect and the Hengshan sect were farther away from Huashan. However, the four sects arrived at Huashan on the same day, within less than an hour of each other.

It was obvious that the person who delivered the letter had calculated the journey time accurately, and wanted them to meet at Mount Huashan!

What's in your heart?

But no matter what, let’s find the sword moves first!
"Mr. Yue."

Zuo Lengchan opened his mouth and said in a deep voice.

"Why don't we go to the Cliff of Repentance now?"

"Not bad!"

Taoist Tianmen nodded and spoke directly.

"Now that everyone is here and we all have the same goal, there's no need to be secretive or procrastinate!"

Although Mr. Mo Da and Master Ding Xian did not say anything, they had already put down their teacups, and it was obvious that they meant the same thing.

Only Yue Buqun was confused.

But looking at the situation, and everyone unanimously wanting to go to the Cliff of Repentance, he guessed something.

Could it be that those sword moves are on the Cliff of Repentance?
Although they didn't believe it in their hearts, the other four factions must have received some news.

"it is good."

If you refuse, you will appear guilty.

Then he stood up and spoke directly and openly.

"I will accompany you brothers to the Cliff of Repentance for a look."

Next, under the leadership of Yue Buqun and the Huashan Sect disciples, people from various sects went to the Cliff of Repentance together.

On the way, Zuo Feiying, Le Hou, and Liu Zhengfeng, Master Dingyi, Taoist Tiansong and others who had arrived earlier from the other three sects also came together. When all the people gathered together, there were as many as two to three hundred people.

Zhengqitang was only eleven miles away from Siguo Cliff. Although the mountain path was difficult to travel, all the people there were experts from the five sects, so they walked quite fast.

It didn't take long before they arrived at a dangerous cliff on the top of the Jade Maiden Peak, which was the Cliff of Repentance.

"Master!"

In a cave on the cliff, a man saw someone climbing up the cliff and hurried out to greet them. It was Linghu Chong who was punished to face the wall.

Linghu Chong was excited when he saw Yue Buqun.

But then he saw the rest of the people and was stunned.

He didn't recognize most of these people, but he had seen some of them in Liu Mansion in Hengshan City and knew that they were elders from various sects of the Five Mountains.

He was also surprised as to why the elders from the five sects came together to the Cliff of Repentance.

Could it be that his problem was so serious that it caused the elders from the five sects to denounce him together?
"Disciple of Huashan Sect!"

When they saw Linghu Chong, Zuo Lengchan and the others' faces instantly darkened.

There is actually a Huashan Sect disciple on this cliff!
If the news is true, the sword moves are at the Cliff of Repentance. Has this Huashan disciple seen them?
In other words, the exquisite skills of various sects may have been secretly learned by the Huashan Sect!

"Hmph~!"

Thinking of this, the already hot-tempered Taoist priest Tianmen snorted coldly.

"Step aside!"

Master Dingyi stepped forward even faster and pushed Linghu Chong away.

"Master, this is..."

Linghu Chong walked up to Yue Buqun with a puzzled look on his face.

"Chong'er."

Yue Buqun was also suspicious and couldn't help but ask Linghu Chong.

"What kind of sword moves have you seen on this cliff?"

"Sword move..."

Linghu Chong was startled and couldn't help but avoid looking.

If someone asked him, he would definitely deny it without showing any sign of cowardice.

But Yue Buqun not only taught him, but also raised him. He was both a master and a father.

He was extremely unwilling to deceive Yue Buqun.

"you……"

Seeing Linghu Chong's reaction, Yue Buqun was immediately shocked. Could it be that there really were the Five Mountains' exquisite sword techniques here?

"really!"

The people from the other four sects were all veterans, so they naturally saw it as well.

At the same time, he had already looked around the cliff.

The place was not big and there was nothing surprising about it, except for the cave that Linghu Chong had just come out of, which was extremely suspicious.

"Stay inside!"

Following a cold shout from Tianmen Daozheng, everyone rushed towards the cave.

"No!"

Linghu Chong came to his senses and shouted loudly, blocking the entrance of the cave.

Some time ago, he was filled with anger and pierced the cliff with a sword. He discovered a cave behind it and saw the diagram of the Five Mountains Sword Technique carved by the ten elders of the Demon Cult.

Over time, I have practiced it consciously or unconsciously.

Afterwards, he was taught the Dugu Nine Swords by Feng Qingyang, and used these sword techniques to verify them, so he learned even more.

Stealing and learning martial arts from other sects is a big taboo.

What's more, according to Yue Buqun, the Huashan Sect should focus on training Qi and supplement it with sword skills.

Previously, because of his strange swordsmanship, Yue Buqun was furious and accused him of entering the evil way.

Now that I know that he only practices sword-fighting, wouldn't I be completely disappointed in him?

It was because of this thought that he subconsciously stepped forward to stop him.

“It’s true!”

But this not only proves that there are indeed sword moves in the cave, but also proves that he has already learned them.

Everyone sneered and looked at Yue Buqun with a look of accusation.

Yue Buqun frowned and looked at Linghu Chong with a stern look. Linghu Chong had discovered the Five Mountains Sword Moves, but he actually hid it from him!
Not only did the Huashan Sect fail to obtain the Five Mountains' exquisite sword techniques, but it is now in such a passive position!
After being glared at by Yue Buqun, Linghu Chong immediately came to his senses and thought to himself that he had been on the cliff for so long that even his brain was not working well. Isn't this just a case of revealing one's true intention?
"Get out of my way!"

Taoist Tiansong shouted coldly and tried to force his way in.

"no!"

He was in a difficult situation for a moment, so Linghu Chong subconsciously picked up a branch nearby and used it as a sword to stop Taoist Tiansong.

"Crazy youngster!"

Taoist Tiansong sneered and struck Linghu Chong with his scabbard, wanting to let him know how powerful he was.

Unexpectedly, Linghu Chong used the branch to circle around his scabbard and press the Shenmen acupoint on his wrist.

The acupoints were touched and Taoist Tiansong was caught off guard. His right hand went limp and the scabbard fell to the ground.

"you!"

He originally wanted to teach the younger generation a lesson, but he ended up humiliating him in front of everyone from the Five Mountains, and was filled with resentment.

"This boy has indeed learned the exquisite sword moves of my Five Mountains Sword School!"

For a moment, everyone frowned.

The sword strike that Linghu Chong had just made was indeed extremely skillful. Not to mention that Taoist Tiansong was caught off guard, even in a normal fight, he might not have been able to defend against it.

How could a junior comprehend such exquisite sword moves on his own? They must be the exquisite sword moves of the Five Mountains hidden in the cave!
Everyone looked at Yue Buqun again, asking him to give an explanation.

"Chong'er!"

Yue Buqun's face was filled with anger and he shouted loudly.

"Let me ask you, are there any exquisite sword moves of the Five Mountains in it?"

"Yes!"

Seeing that his master was angry, Linghu Chong dared not hide anything and knelt down in panic.

"It does contain the sword technique that can break through the Five Mountains, which was carved by the ten elders of the Demon Sect!"

"The Tenth Elder of the Demonic Cult?"

"Break the Five Mountains Sword Technique!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions!
