Sword from Songshan

Chapter 154: Various Factions' Plans
Clang clang~!

At the Siguo Cliff on the Jade Maiden Peak of Mount Huashan, Yue Buqun thrust out a sword, and the swords of more than a dozen disciples around him all fell to the ground.

"Congratulations, Master!"

Everyone stepped back, and Linghu Chong came over and congratulated them with a happy face.

"One sword can break all laws. Your swordsmanship has reached perfection!"

"This sword technique is extremely profound. Without twenty to thirty years of hard work, how can one claim to have mastered it?"

Yue Buqun's face was calm, but his eyes could not hide the pride.

"I have been training hard for several months, and I think I have made some progress."

"Even if it's a small success, it's not far from a big success."

"Haha, I hope so."

Yue Buqun couldn't help but smile, looked at Linghu Chong, and then his expression became serious again.

"With this sword technique, you and I, as master and disciple, can work together to promote the Huashan Sect."

"I will definitely live up to Master's high expectations!"

"Ah, very good."

Yue Buqun patted Linghu Chong's shoulder heavily and then said something to everyone.

"gone back."

The sword technique has been mastered, and the date of the Five Mountains Conference is approaching, so there is no need and no time to practice hard in the Cliff of Repentance.

A moment later, Yue Buqun walked into the Zhengqi Hall, sat down, and called his third disciple Liang Fa.

"How is the spy now?"

"Master, during your absence, Lao Denuo initially yelled and struggled, but he has been quiet for the past two days. I guess he has completely given up. According to your instructions, we will use Lao Denuo's handwriting and tone to pass false information to Songshan from time to time to confuse Zuo Lengchan."

"it is good."

Yue Buqun nodded and asked another question.

"Is there anything special happening during this period?"

"Everything is as Master expected. There is no problem."

Liang Fa smiled, paused slightly, and continued.

"However, we have news about our junior sister."

"Shan'er?"

Yue Buqun's face changed slightly and he asked quickly.

"Where is she now!"

"Some time ago, someone saw her with people from the Huangshan Sect."

"Huangshan Sect? Lu Nanxing..."

Yue Buqun frowned instantly and fell silent for a while.

Yue Lingshan suddenly ran away and there was no news for several months. As a father, Yue Buqun could not help but be worried.

But Huashan had limited manpower and was facing the consolidation of the Five Sacred Mountains, so he could not go down the mountain to look for it.

Now that I finally have news about Yue Lingshan, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But I didn't expect that she would be involved with Lu Nanxing.

"Even I can't figure out Lu Nanxing. It's not a good thing for Shan'er to be with him."

Yue Buqun sighed softly and spoke again.

"But at this moment, I have no time to take care of other things and cannot bring her back from Huangshan."

"Master."

Linghu Chong stood at the side, looking anxious, and spoke after a moment of hesitation.

"There is still some time before the Five Mountains Conference. Why not let me go and find my little sister?"

"No!"

Yue Buqun's face suddenly darkened and he said in a deep voice.

"This time, Zuo Lengchan is determined to win the annexation, and he has prepared countless sinister schemes for our Huashan! If you go down the mountain at this time, it will be exactly what the Songshan Sect wants!"

"But Junior Sister..."

"No need to say more, how can we lose the big picture for the small one!"

Yue Buqun waved his hand to interrupt Linghu Chong, his face gloomy, then turned to the disciples in the hall and gave orders.

"All Huashan disciples, you must be fully alert and prepare for this Five Mountains Conference!"

"Yes!"

Everyone stood up to receive the order, each with a serious expression.

Only Linghu Chong looked dazed and depressed, and it was obvious that he was still thinking about Yue Lingshan. But Yue Buqun had already spoken, and he couldn't disobey his master's order, so he didn't dare to go down the mountain rashly, and could only feel anxious.

The Huashan Sect was already on high alert, but the Hengshan Sect, also one of the Five Sacred Mountains, was completely silent.

In the quiet room of Wu Se Nunnery, Master Ding Xian sat cross-legged with two empty bottles in front of her.

After a moment, her brows suddenly furrowed and her face showed pain. Even with Master Dingxian's strong willpower, she couldn't bear it anymore. She fell forward and knocked over the empty bottles.

Then, he simply lay prone on the ground, his whole body tense. He was in so much pain that his ten fingers curled into chicken claws and he kept scratching the ground fiercely.

But even so, the pain did not lessen at all, but became more and more intense, like a fish that had been dehydrated and floated ashore, rolling and thrashing in the quiet room.

"Master."

Outside the door of the quiet room, two of Master Ding Xian's direct disciples were guarding. When they heard the noise inside, their faces were filled with worry and distress.

But Master Ding Xian ordered that no one could go in until she got through it.

Even though they were worried, they did not dare to disobey their master's orders.

Besides, they also knew that Master Ding Xian definitely didn't want her disciples to see the scene inside at this moment.

For the sake of their master's reputation, they were determined not to go in.

"Master, are you feeling better?"

Because they were worried, the two couldn't help but ask quietly through the crack in the door.

But unfortunately, there was no response.

It seems that at this moment, Master Ding Xian was completely unable to respond, and she couldn't even hear what they were saying.

Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but feel more distressed, and couldn't help but shed tears.

I couldn't enter the room, nor could I share the burden for Master Ding Xian. I could only recite Buddhist scriptures silently in my heart, hoping that the Buddha would bless my master and help her get through these sufferings as soon as possible.

This went on for more than an hour before the noise inside stopped.

The two looked at each other and quickly pushed the door open.

The originally tidy meditation room was now in a mess. Not only were the tables and items overturned, but the floor and walls were also covered with scratches.

Looking at Master Dingxian again, she was sitting cross-legged on the ground with her head drooping limply, her hands holding the Buddhist beads were still trembling slightly, her ten fingers were worn and stained with blood.

"Master."

Seeing such a tragic scene, the two men could no longer bear it and threw themselves in front of Master Ding Xian with a shout.

Nun Dingxian did not speak or make any movement.

Knowing that Master Dingxian was extremely weak at the moment, the two of them stopped disturbing her, forced themselves to hold back their tears, and began to tidy up the meditation room.

After a while, the garbage was cleared away and everything was put back in place. After all, there weren't many things in there to begin with.

"I'll go get some porridge, Master. Please have some."

Then, the two of them knelt in front of Master Ding Xian and spoke softly with heartache.

"You haven't eaten in two days."

"My internal organs feel like they are on fire. How can I eat?"

Nun Dingxian's breath was weak, and she was trembling slightly like a rotten wood. It was not until half a while later that she gathered enough strength to say another sentence.

"Tomorrow, same as usual."

"Master!"

Just four words, but the two of them looked anxious.

"Stop for a few days!"

"There's no time."

Nun Dingxian uttered one more sentence reluctantly, and then there was no more sound.

The two looked at each other. Although they felt sorry for their master, there was nothing they could do.

Then exit the quiet room and close the door again.

One went to get the porridge and rice, and the other stayed to guard it, not allowing anyone to get close. Although Master Dingxian said she didn't want to eat, they still had to find a way to get the master to eat some, even if it was just to taste the food.

Master Ding Xian had been in seclusion for too many days and did not allow anyone to approach him. No one was allowed to send any news. For a time, everyone in the Hengshan Sect was in a panic.

After all, the Five Mountains Conference is just around the corner, and once the two sects are merged, the Hengshan Sect will no longer exist.

Without a backbone, many people couldn't help but wonder how great it would be if Master Dingyi were still alive.

If Master Dingyi were here and worked together with Master Dingxian, the Hengshan Sect would definitely be able to overcome this difficulty.

But unfortunately, Master Dingyi might never come back. Not only Master Dingyi, but also the fellow sisters and fellow disciples of Baiyun Temple are no longer disciples of Hengshan Sect.

Speaking of which, since everyone from Baiyun Temple left Hengshan, many people from the sect have left, not only disciples, but even some servants, such as the mute old woman.

A scene of decline and desolation.

"Master Liu!"

Just when everyone in Hengshan Sect was missing Master Dingyi, Master Dingyi was already in Hengshan City.

Just as he said to Lu Nanxing before, he went straight to Liu Zhengfeng and wanted to make the Hengshan faction oppose the merger.

"What do you mean? Give me a definite answer!"

But after Master Dingyi came for several days, Liu Zhengfeng initially refused to see her. When he finally met her, she either evaded the question or hesitated, and there was no conclusion on the merger of the two factions.

Given Master Dingyi's personality, how could she endure this? She had to force the truth out of her.

"Master Dingyi, you have already left Hengshan Sect, why are you still meddling in these matters?"

Liu Zhengfeng was forced into a corner and had a headache.

"If I could retire from society like you, I would be so happy."

"I can't be as open-minded as you and watch my sect being swallowed up by other sects!"

Master Dingyi snorted coldly and spoke again.

"Just tell me, do you from the Nanyue Hengshan Sect object to this merger?"

"This... this is not up to me!"

"What nonsense!"

Master Dingyi was full of annoyance, thinking that Liu Zhengfeng was still trying to fool her.

"You are the head of Nanyue Hengshan. You have no say. Who else has the final say?"

"I have the final say!"

Before Liu Zhengfeng could speak, a cold voice suddenly sounded, and then a young man in a red robe, surrounded by a group of factory guards, walked in.

Seeing this person, Liu Zhengfeng hurriedly stood up to greet him.

The red-robed young man took big strides and sat down directly on the main seat.

Liu Zhengfeng stood beside him, not to mention the seat, he didn't even dare to sit down.

Master Dingyi frowned. This was the Hengshan Sect, and Liu Zhengfeng was the Sect Leader. Who was this person in front of her that made Liu Zhengfeng so afraid even in the Hengshan Sect?

In fact, before coming here, Lu Nanxing had already told Master Dingyi that the Hengshan Sect was different now and might have been controlled by the imperial court, so she should be more careful.

Originally, Master Dingyi thought that Lu Nanxing was exaggerating. How could the Hengshan Sect be completely manipulated by the imperial court? Master Dingyi did not take it too seriously.

But now it seems that the real situation is probably far more serious than what Lu Nanxing said.

The Hengshan Sect now seems to have become a minion of the imperial court!
"Hmph~!"

Thinking of this, Master Dingyi's face became even gloomier. She snorted coldly and ignored the people from the East Factory. Instead, she questioned Liu Zhengfeng loudly.

"Liu Zhengfeng! Not to mention that you are the head of the sect, even if you are just an ordinary disciple of Hengshan Sect, how can you be a lackey of the imperial court? How can you let your master and the ancestors of Hengshan Sect save their reputation!"

"I……"

"What a hot-tempered and outspoken Master Dingyi."

Wang Tiandong smiled, looked at Master Dingyi, and said lightly.

"It is not the place for others to comment on what is happening at the Southern Peak Hengshan, let alone the abandoned disciples of the Northern Peak Hengshan."

"shut up!"

Master Dingyi could no longer suppress her anger and glared at Wang Tiandong.

"Say another word and I'll kill you!"

"Kill me? Haha."

Wang Tiandong smiled again, then his face darkened and he looked at Liu Zhengfeng beside him.

"……Yes."

Liu Zhengfeng hesitated slightly, gritted his teeth and responded, then turned to Master Dingyi with a gloomy face.

"excuse me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zhengfeng rushed towards Master Dingyi and slapped her with his hand.

"you!"

Master Dingyi was shocked. She could never have imagined that Liu Zhengfeng was sent by the East Factory to attack her.

Then his face darkened again, full of resentment.

Since Liu Zhengfeng was being unjust, she didn't need to show any mercy and could just raise her hand to meet him head on.

With the dull sound of palms colliding, the two men came into combat in the hall.

“The truth is rare.”

Wang Tiandong sat there, watching the two of them with interest.

Both of them are masters of swordsmanship, but now they are fighting with fists and feet. Isn't this a rare sight?

But Wang Tiandong didn't say much, nor did he interrupt, he just watched.

Both of them are first-rate masters. If they fight for their lives, Liu Zhengfeng is probably stronger than Master Dingyi. However, both of them are still holding back, so it is difficult to tell the winner for a while.

The two men fought from the hall all the way to the yard outside, exchanging nearly a hundred moves.

"Master Dingyi! Hurry up and leave!"

With his hands crossed, Liu Zhengfeng turned his back to the hall and suddenly whispered something to Master Dingyi.

Master Dingyi was slightly startled, then suddenly came to her senses.

Then he withdrew his hand and struck Liu Zhengfeng with a palm.

Liu Zhengfeng resisted instinctively, but was deliberately a little slow, so the palm hit him right in the chest, and he fell to the ground.

"Liu Zhengfeng! You are willing to be a lackey of the imperial court. I will settle accounts with you later!"

Master Dingyi shouted loudly, took the opportunity to jump over the wall, and then disappeared.

Liu Zhengfeng took a look, then got up, staggered back to the hall, and looked at Wang Tiandong with a guilty look on his face.

"Please forgive me, sir. I was incompetent and let her escape."

"How can you be incompetent? You sang this play better than those famous actors in the garden."

Wang Tiandong smiled lightly, but his eyes were extremely cold.

"It's just that you're too stupid to act like that in front of me."

"Young ones don't dare!"

Liu Zhengfeng was shocked and lowered his head quickly.

He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. After this period of contact, he already knew that although Wang Tiandong was young, his scheming and skills were far beyond what ordinary people could compare to.

If not for this, he wouldn't have been held so tightly and couldn't break free at all.

"Sir, do you want to chase me?"

A soldier next to Wang Tiandong said in a low voice.

"I will lead my brothers to chase after her and we will definitely be able to capture the old nun."

"If I wanted to capture her, why would I have waited until now?"

Wang Tiandong glanced at him with a cold look.

"Yes, I was too talkative."

The man's face was filled with fear and he quickly lowered his head.

Wang Tiandong had a blank expression on his face as he looked outside with a deep gaze.

After a moment, he turned to Liu Zhengfeng and suddenly said.

"You must behave well in this Five Mountains Conference. If you behave the same way as before, you will be severely punished."

"Yes!"

Liu Zhengfeng was shocked all over and responded quickly, secretly groaning in his heart. This time he was in a difficult situation.
