Sword from Songshan

Chapter 104: Competition among fellow disciples for a place in the cave

I thought it was just the exquisite sword moves of the Five Mountains, but who would have thought that it could actually break all the exquisite sword moves of the Five Mountains!

There are sword moves, but there are also ways to break them.

When they came to their senses, everyone had a frown on their face.

The reason why they went to so much trouble to find this sword move was naturally to improve their sect's sword skills, but it has already been completely broken, so what's the point of practicing it?

"Boy!"

After a moment's silence, Mr. Mo Da spoke up and questioned Linghu Chong in a deep voice.

"Besides you, has anyone else seen those sword moves?"

"I discovered that cave accidentally. The dirt inside is extremely thick and there is no other exit. No one has ever seen it before me."

Linghu Chong's face was full of confidence, as if he was about to swear or make an oath.

Although Feng Qingyang had seen it, it was after him, so he was not lying. Moreover, with Feng Qingyang's swordsmanship attainments, he did not look down on those swordsmanship moves at all, so it made no difference whether he saw it or not.

"If that's the case, then it's fine."

Master Dingxian pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

Even though there are methods to break them, they are not passed on to others. They only use exquisite sword moves to hide all the methods to break them.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Linghu Chong again with gloomy expressions.

Linghu Chong has already read those methods in advance, how to ensure that he does not leak them!

"Brothers."

Seeing that everyone was about to attack Linghu Chong again and worried that the Huashan Sect would be implicated again, Yue Buqun quickly spoke up.

"In addition to the bad disciple, we will also enter this cave. Won't we all see the methods to crack the cave? By then, it won't just be the bad disciple who will see it. We all have to agree not to reveal the methods to crack the cave."

"Yes, that's the truth."

Liu Zhengfeng echoed and looked at Linghu Chong kindly.

On that day in Hengshan City, facing the oppression of the Songshan Sect, Linghu Chong also spoke up for justice. Although he did not provide any practical help, Liu Zhengfeng still remembered his favor.

"In this case, we should control the number of people entering the cave!"

"That's right, the fewer people the better!"

"Why not just let the leaders of each sect in?"

"No, there is only one person, and with so many sword moves, it is inevitable that there will be omissions and mistakes. If the wrong sword moves are passed on, won't it backfire?"

"The Huashan Sect disciples have already seen these sword moves, so what else can we say?"

In order to prevent the secret from being leaked, the number of people entering the cave must be strictly controlled. If there are only a few spots available, there will be a dispute over who will enter.

Taoist Tianmen proposed that only the leader of each sect should enter, and the other leaders naturally supported it.

But how could the "deputy leaders" like Ding Mian and Yu Jizi be willing to do so? They strongly opposed it.

Everyone refused to give in and the words became increasingly heated.

"Everyone! I have an idea."

Seeing that there was no conclusion yet, a loud shout was heard, and a group of soldiers went up the cliff along the mountain path.

Everyone frowned instantly. Why is there a government official here?
This was an internal matter of their Five Mountains Sword Sect. Even other sects in the martial arts world did not get involved, let alone the government!
"General Lee."

When he saw the person coming, Yue Buqun straightened his clothes and quickly bowed to greet him.

Although the underworld is clearly separated from the imperial court, people in the underworld and court officials do not necessarily have no contact with each other.

The fact is just the opposite. If a sect wants to survive, in addition to status in the martial arts world and martial arts disciples, it also needs the care of local authorities, otherwise you won’t even have a sect headquarters.

Therefore, each sect and faction had some private contacts with the government.

For example, in Hengshan City back then, if the local government had not deliberately let the enemy go and the East Factory had not made arrangements in advance, how could Mr. Mo Da have passed the blockade so smoothly and brought people to provide assistance.

The general who came at this time was probably stationed not far from Mount Hua, so he was familiar with Yue Buqun.

Although they all understood the truth, they still disdained to associate with the imperial court, and showed some contempt for Yue Buqun. It is said that scholars are noble and care about their reputation, and these martial artists are the same.

"Everyone, let me introduce you."

How could Yue Buqun not know what everyone was thinking, but as the head of the Huashan Sect, he could not offend either side. This embarrassment was only his to bear. He led the people over and introduced them solemnly.

"This is General Li Xiaoqian, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi."

"The commander-in-chief..."

The people from the five sects, who had shown disdain just now, couldn't help but look stern.

He is a second-rank official, in charge of the military affairs of a province, and can be regarded as a high-ranking official!

I thought he was just an ordinary military general, but I never expected that he was such a powerful person.

He was still despising Yue Buqun just now, but now he was secretly surprised that Yue Buqun could actually climb up to such a high-ranking official. Gentleman Sword really had some skills.

At the same time, everyone was confused.

Why would a high-ranking court official like the Commander-in-Chief climb to the top of Mount Huashan with so much effort instead of staying at home to enjoy beauties and wine?
Could it be that it's just like the last time in Hengshan City!
Everyone was startled again.

But if you look more closely, Li Xiaoqian only brought some personal soldiers with him, and he is quite close to Yue Buqun. Even if he has bad intentions, he probably won't take direct action.

"General Liu Zhengfeng, I pay my respects to the Commander-in-Chief."

Although Liu Zhengfeng is the third master of the Hengshan Sect, he is currently still the lieutenant general. He did not care about his face among his peers and hurried forward to salute.

"No need to be polite. This time I am not here on military business."

Li Xiaoqian waved his hand, looked around at the people of Wuyue, and said with a smile.

"I just heard that you are competing for a place to enter the cave. Why don't I give you an idea?"

"It would be great if General Li is willing to take charge of this matter."

Yue Buqun's face was full of smiles and he was flattering her.

The rest of the people, however, had cold expressions on their faces. When would it be the turn of the imperial court to make decisions on the internal affairs of the Five Mountains Sword Sect!

Although everyone was unhappy, no one said it out loud.

Li Xiaoqian holds a very high official position, and even the leaders such as Zuo Lengchan and Mr. Mo Da do not dare to offend him easily.

As for the so-called "deputy leaders", they were originally appointed by the imperial court. Even if they did not become the imperial court's running dogs, they always had to be cautious and did not dare to directly come forward to undermine the imperial court.

"It's actually quite simple."

In fact, Li Xiaoqian gave orders without waiting for the other leaders to reply.

"I think this cave is not big, and ten people are enough to go in. The five heads of the Five Mountains will take up five places first, and the rest can be chosen by yourselves."

"so……"

Everyone was slightly stunned and pondered in their hearts.

Although I don't like the court's intervention, it is indeed a solution.

First of all, the number of people is not large and is still within the controllable range.

The five leaders each got a seat, so naturally they would have no objection.

As for the deputy heads, they were deputies after all, so they had to give some face to the head head on the surface. Besides, this was Li Xiaoqian's proposal, so they couldn't say anything.

That leaves only five seats left.

Originally, each of the five factions had one person, with two people from each faction, impartial.

However, Li Xiaoqian did not specify how the remaining five places should be allocated, and some people couldn't help but start calculating in their minds.

Human nature is selfish, who doesn’t want to eat more and take more?

Regarding the remaining five places, everyone first discussed it, and then, as expected, started arguing.

"If we keep quarreling like this, there will be no end in sight until dark. Why not fight it out!"

You will never reach a conclusion just by talking.

Ding Mian shouted coldly and looked around at everyone with a gloomy look.

"There are five seats left, and I want to take one, but some people disagree! If anyone disagrees, you can challenge me!"

"What a great tower-holding hand..."

Everyone frowned, but no one spoke.

It is common sense for people in the martial arts world to settle a matter through fighting.

Everyone had actually anticipated this, so it didn't matter that Ding Mian brought it up at this time.

The key point is that Ding Mian wants to take a seat and challenged everyone, but no one dares to accept. As the chief guardian of Songshan Sect, Ding Mian has deep internal strength and a pair of tower-holding hands with great strength. Under the five sect leaders, no one dares to say that he has defeated Ding Mian.

"In that case, I'll take a seat!"

No one said anything, and Ding Mian looked very proud.

Although the others were indignant, what could they say if they were not as skilled as others?

Fortunately, there are still four seats left.

"Since Senior Brother Master and Senior Brother Ding have both gone in, although I am not talented, I would also like to go in and take a look."

Unexpectedly, Fei Bin stood up again and looked at everyone with a sinister look.

"I'll take a seat too, if you have any opinions."

"you!"

There are ten seats in total, and the Songshan Sect has already occupied two. If Fei Bin were to occupy one, wouldn't one have to be squeezed out from another sect?
For a moment, everyone's faces looked extremely ugly.

Besides, if Fei Bin takes one, then Le Hou must also take one!
Although Fei Bin's skills are inferior to Ding Mian's, he is also a master of the Songshan School. The reputation of the Great Songyang Palm is well-deserved.

Everyone was reluctant to give up this spot, but if they were to say that they could beat Fei Bin, most people didn't have the confidence to do so.

For a moment, only Liu Zhengfeng and Master Dingyi were wondering whether to challenge Fei Bin.

"Master uncle is really very impressive."

Just as Master Dingyi was about to speak, a voice suddenly sounded from below.

Following the sound, I saw a young man walking up to the Cliff of Repentance.

Seeing the person coming, everyone was startled.

Yilin, who was standing behind Master Dingyi, instantly opened her eyes wide and her face was filled with joy.

"Lu Nanxing!"

Fei Bin frowned and his face looked gloomy.

Wasn’t he kidnapped by six weirdos? Why did he suddenly appear at the Cliff of Repentance at this moment?

"Master, all the masters and uncles."

When Lu Nanxing came up, he first met Zuo Lengchan and the leaders of various sects.

Seeing Lu Nanxing, Zuo Lengchan nodded slightly, with a hint of joy on his face.

It is true that Fei Bin is from the Songshan School, but he is now on Ding Mian's side!
Ding Mian has already obtained the qualification to enter the hole. If Fei Bin also gets it, wouldn’t there be two of them, which would surpass him?

This was quite detrimental to his reputation within the Songshan School.

If Zuo Lengchan wanted to overwhelm Fei Bin, he only had Zuo Feiying. Although he had high hopes for his son, Zuo Lengchan knew that Zuo Feiying was no match for Fei Bin.

When Lu Nanxing appeared at this time, there was some turning point in the situation.

"It's really lively."

Lu Nanxing looked around, his gaze lingered slightly on Li Xiaoqian, and he couldn't help thinking.

These people from the Five Mountains were brought here by him.

As for the reason, of course it is to learn the exquisite sword moves of the five schools.

But the people in the court had nothing to do with him.

He was quite surprised to see people from the imperial court appear at the Cliff of Repentance.

He comes with bad intentions and seems to be trying to stir up trouble again.

According to Li Xiaoqian's proposal, the five factions would have already started arguing and even fighting each other.

But think about it, given the character of the five sects, even if no one instigates them, the end result will probably be the same.

As for why Li Xiaoqian appeared at this time, Lu Nanxing guessed that it must be related to the East Factory!

The factory guards are spread everywhere and have an extremely large and sophisticated intelligence network.

The news of the Five Mountains' exquisite sword moves had spread like wildfire, so how could we not know about it?

So it makes sense to send Li Xiaoqian here to fan the flames.

Lu Nanxing was too lazy to think about this. His current focus was on fighting for a spot in the cave.

Although Lu Nanxing had never practiced the Exorcism Sword as a unique martial art, it had greatly broadened his horizons. Even with his current attainments in swordsmanship, it was not inferior to the so-called exquisite sword moves of the Five Mountains.

Otherwise, why would he release this news and let others take advantage of it.

But after all, they are all pretty good sword techniques. One can learn from others' experience, so he always has to take a look.

"Uncle Fei."

Lu Nanxing turned to Fei Bin and said with a smile.

"How about giving this spot to my nephew?"

"you……"

Fei Bin's face was full of anger, but he didn't respond for a moment.

He was unwilling to give in, but if he didn't give in, he would have to fight. After a fight at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, Fei Bin saw how powerful Lu Nanxing was, and at this moment he had no confidence in winning.

"Ok?"

Ding Mian was standing by, and when he saw Fei Bin hesitating, he couldn't help but feel confused.

Why did Fei Bin hesitate when he took this opportunity to teach Lu Nanxing a lesson and slap Zuo Lengchan in front of everyone from Wu Yue?

The people from other factions looked at Fei Bin with the same confusion.

The people of Songshan Sect started arguing among themselves. It seems that the discord between Ding Mian and Zuo Lengchan is not just a rumor. If that's the case, why shouldn't Fei Bin respond?

It seems that Fei Bin is a little afraid of Lu Nanxing?
"There are four spots left, I'll take one!"

When he was in doubt, Yu Jizi from the Taishan School suddenly spoke loudly.

"I'm not convinced!"

Taoist Tiansong shouted coldly and said immediately.

"Uncle Master, if you want to enter the cave, you must compete with me first!"

"There are spots left, I want one."

"I don't agree!"

"I am poor and I have one, who has any objection?"

Soon after, Liu Zhengfeng, Master Dingyi and others from other sects also spoke up.

But surprisingly, the voices of opposition often come from fellow students.

It seems that all factions are in the same situation now, and factional struggles are becoming more and more intense.

After some debate, there were only five spots left. Ding Mian took one, leaving four, but there were eight people competing for it.

Fei Bin, Le Hou, Lu Nanxing, Yu Jizi, Taoist Tiansong, Liu Zhengfeng, Lu Lianrong, and Master Dingyi.

On the Huashan Sect's side, Ning Zhongze could have also competed for it, but Yue Buqun had already taken one spot, and Linghu Chong had already seen that it was equivalent to the Huashan Sect already taking two spots, so she did not compete anymore.

There are eight people left, and they can just duel in pairs to determine the winner.

Yu Ji Zi and Tian Song Taoist are both from Taishan Sect.

Liu Zhengfeng and Lu Lianrong are both from the Hengshan School.

"Master Dingyi, let me learn the Hengshan Sect's advanced techniques."

Fei Bin saw the opportunity very quickly and took the lead in challenging Master Dingyi.

Master Dingyi had a bad temper, so she was not afraid and agreed immediately.

In this way, only Le Hou and Lu Nanxing were left.

"Nephew Lu, swords have no eyes. If I hurt you later, don't blame your uncle!"

Looking at Lu Nanxing, Le Hou showed a proud expression.

Although Lu Nanxing is very popular, in Le Hou's opinion, he is just a second-generation disciple who has just reached the first-class level.

With his pair of big Yin-Yang hands, it would be easy for him to deal with Lu Nanxing. Even if he couldn't kill Lu Nanxing in public, he would still teach him a severe lesson!
But he didn't think about why Fei Bin rushed to fight with Master Dingyi instead of taking advantage of this opportunity?

"Then please show some mercy, uncle!"

Lu Nanxing smiled, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
