Sword from Songshan

Chapter 158 Yu Yinzi passes on his position to the head of Taishan Sect

"As expected of Master Ding Xian!"

Looking at Master Ding Xian collapsing on the stage, the crowd was filled with admiration.

It was not until this moment that everyone saw clearly what Master Ding Xian was planning. She sacrificed herself and died together with Zuo Lengchan in order to save the Hengshan Sect!
It was called a merger, but in reality it was equivalent to being annexed. Master Dingxian and the disciples of the Hengshan Sect naturally refused to agree.

However, facing the high pressure from the Songshan Sect and Zuo Lengchan, the Hengshan Sect, which had lost Master Dingjing and had already split, was completely unable to resist.

If it were anyone else, they would have accepted their fate long ago. At least among the heroes present, most people thought they were unable to cope with it.

But Master Ding Xian was determined to fight for a way out for the Hengshan Sect, and the price was her own life.

If the Hengshan Sect forcibly resists this time, it will only end up with the death of its members and the destruction of its sect. It will be meaningless except for leaving behind a good reputation of refusing to surrender but dying.

I simply agreed, just for the sake of the upcoming competition.

Nun Ding Xian challenged Zuo Lengchan right away. In fact, she didn’t think too much about it. She just wanted to die together with Zuo Lengchan!

Zuo Lengchan is still here. Even if the merger fails this time, there will be a next time, and the Hengshan Sect will not be able to escape the disaster.

As long as Zuo Lengchan dies, the Songshan Sect will be in chaos and its strength will be greatly damaged. Even the merger that has already been approved can be terminated.

On the Hengshan Sect's side, the only one to be sacrificed is Master Dingxian.

"Ding Xian..."

Master Dingyi was stunned for a while, then immediately stood up and left the table, quickly running towards the Fengshan Terrace.

Tang Ying'e originally wanted to stop her, but seeing that Master Dingyi was fighting desperately, and the competition on the stage was already over, he tactfully retreated.

At the edge of the Fengchan Terrace, all the Hengshan disciples had already gathered there, supporting Master Dingxian and forcing her to sit down.

Ding Yi separated the crowd and went in, hugging Master Ding Xian.

"Senior sister! Why are you doing this?"

"Junior sister..."

Master Ding Xian smiled. At this time, the poison had spread throughout her body and she was almost breathing.

"You finally called me Senior Sister again."

"You... why did you act on your own? Why didn't you tell me in advance? If we were together, we could share some of the burden!"

"Blame it on me this time."

"No, it's all my fault."

Master Dingyi burst into tears, then turned around and shouted.

"Master Lu! Please help me!"

"coming!"

Lu Nanxing had already stood up and ran over immediately.

Without waiting for Master Dingyi to say too much, he reached out and grasped Master Dingxian's wrist, sucking out all the toxins from her body.

After the poison was sucked out, the pain on Master Ding Xian's face instantly eased a little.

Lu Nanxing then walked around to the back, placed his hands on Master Ding Xian’s back, and used the Shenzhao Gong to heal her wounds.

"Master Lu is truly amazing. I feel much better right away."

Looking at Lu Nanxing with gratitude, Master Ding Xian smiled and continued.

"That's all. No need to waste your energy on me."

"Senior sister, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Master Dingyi's face was filled with anxiety, and she quickly turned to Lu Nanxing, her eyes full of pleading.

"how's it going."

Lu Nanxing frowned, but withdrew his hand and shook his head without saying anything.

Although all the toxins had been sucked out, the corpse poison was extremely powerful. During the previous duel, it had already corroded Master Ding Xian's meridians and internal organs. With such severe injuries, not to mention Lu Nanxing, even a god would find it difficult to save her.

"No! Master Lu, you have the power to bring the dead back to life! Please save my sister!"

Master Dingyi's face was filled with anxiety, and she grabbed Lu Nanxing and begged him.

The disciples of Hengshan Sect gathered around, whether they were from Wu Se Temple or Bai Yun Temple, all of them were shedding tears.

"Junior sister, you have practiced for so many years, how come you still can't see through life and death."

Ding Xian had a calm expression on his face, and then suddenly spoke solemnly.

"While I still have a breath left, I, as the head of Hengshan Sect, declare that Dingyi and all the disciples of Baiyun Temple will be taken back into the sect!"

"Sister, you..."

"Junior sister."

Nun Dingxian stopped Nun Dingyi with a smile on her face.

"I'm tired. From now on, Hengshan Sect will be handed over to..."

Before she could finish her words, Master Ding Xian opened her hands and left with a smile.

"Senior sister!"

Holding the body of Master Dingxian, Master Dingyi burst into tears.

"Master."

"Uncle."

The Hengshan Sect disciples nearby were also crying bitterly.

"The sublime Dharma is profound and subtle, and is hard to encounter in a hundred thousand aeons. I now see and hear it and am able to uphold it. I wish to understand the true meaning of the Tathagata..."

"Thus I have heard, once the Buddha was in Trayastrimsa Heaven, preaching to his mother..."

Then, the body of Master Ding Xian was laid flat, and Master Ding Yi clasped her hands together and led everyone from the Hengshan School in reciting the Ksitigarbha Sutra to pray for the soul-stirring life of Master Ding Xian.

"If chanting scriptures is useful, why bother practicing martial arts!"

With a cold shout, Zuo Lengchan stood up.

Looking at him now, the black air on his face had disappeared, and the poison had actually been forced out!

No matter the people from the Five Mountains or the heroes present, they were all shocked.

That's corpse poison, a highly toxic substance that will infect anyone who even slightly touches a corpse, and it's said to have an infinite poisonous effect.

Although Zuo Lengchan was a highly skilled martial artist, it was unbelievable that he could force out such a deadly poison so quickly and yet he didn't seem to suffer any damage.

"You've put in so much effort, but it's all in vain."

Taking one look at the corpse of Master Ding Xian, Zuo Lengchan showed disdain.

"Zuo Lengchan!"

Master Dingyi's face was filled with rage. She immediately stood up and was ready to fight Zuo Lengchan.

The rest of the Hengshan Sect disciples were also filled with hatred.

Facing the people from Hengshan, Zuo Lengchan ignored them all. Then his face darkened and he snorted coldly.

"Hengshan has been incorporated into the Five Mountains Sect! Once I defeat the others, I will be the leader. Do you want to commit treason?"

"Bah! The worst that can happen is death!"

Nun Dingyi cursed and was about to draw her sword without any fear.

"Master Tai."

Lu Nanxing stood by and held Master Dingyi's wrist.

"Don't act on impulse."

"But……"

Master Dingyi was filled with grief and anger, but after looking at Lu Nanxing, she gave up after a moment.

Although she would not hesitate to sacrifice her own life, what about these disciples of the Hengshan Sect?

If at this moment, she and Zuo Lengchan were to fight for their lives, these Hengshan disciples would never retreat.

By then, I am afraid that not only she, but all these disciples will die in Songshan.

"Humph."

Seeing Master Dingyi stop, Zuo Lengchan snorted again and then turned to Lu Nanxing.

"Knowing that you are good at using poison, I have specially trained myself to avoid poison. I didn't expect that before I tried it on you, it would work on this old nun first."

"Thank you for your appreciation, Sect Leader Zuo."

Lu Nanxing said lightly, his expression normal.

What Zuo Lengchan said was simply to tell him that even if he knew how to use poison, Zuo Lengchan was not afraid at all.

Lu Nanxing didn't take it to heart, but he had to admit that Zuo Lengchan was indeed a rare martial arts genius in today's martial arts world.

In order to deal with Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Art, he created the Ice Qi.

Now, in order to deal with his poison, he has even developed martial arts to avoid poison.

It’s a pity that because of this, Master Dingxian’s plan, which she risked her life for, ultimately failed.

It really is a matter of timing and luck.

"The competition continues!"

Zuo Lengchan no longer paid attention to Lu Nanxing and Master Dingyi, stepped down from the Fengchan platform, and spoke to the other three sect leaders.

"I have already defeated Ding Xian. If any of you still want to challenge me, just come over!"

Seeing Zuo Lengchan like this, everyone's faces became serious.

He had just fought with Master Ding Xian, and was poisoned, but he still dared to challenge her. Although he was arrogant, his confidence was evident. For a moment, the other three sect leaders were all silent, and no one dared to challenge Zuo Lengchan again.

"In that case, then I will..."

Zuo Lengchan sneered and was about to take the initiative to challenge others.

"Wait a moment!"

Yu Yinzi's face was filled with panic, and she quickly shouted to interrupt Zuo Lengchan.

"Before that, I have one thing to say!"

"Ok?"

Zuo Lengchan looked displeased, but he held it back for the time being.

"What's the matter? Tell me!"

"Now, I declare this as the head of the Taishan Sect."

Yu Yinzi took a deep breath, and suddenly his face became serious and solemn. He held the iron sword of the leader in his hand and raised it up.

"I will now pass the position of Taishan Sect's leader to Lu Nanxing!"

"what!"

"Who?"

Zuo Lengchan, other leaders of the Five Mountains, and all the heroes present were all shocked.

Even Lu Nanxing himself was quite surprised.

No one expected that at this time, Yu Yinzi would announce the passing of the throne to Lu Nanxing.

"interesting!"

“This is getting even more lively!”

Then they came to their senses and couldn't help but feel excited.

If Lu Nanxing became the leader of Taishan Sect, this competition would be even more interesting.

It seems absurd, but Yu Yinzi did make a brilliant move.

With Yu Yinzi's strength, he is simply unable to compete for the position of leader.

At first he still had some hope, but after seeing the death of Master Ding Xian and Zuo Lengchan's cruelty, he no longer dared to have any delusions.

If you continue to fight, not only will you not win, but you might even lose your life if you’re not careful!

Passing the position of headmaster to Lu Nanxing at this time would be like throwing away a hot potato.

Of course, there are also people who cannot understand.

Even if Yu Yinzi cannot win the competition, he can just withdraw. There is no need to give up the position of the head of Taishan Sect to someone else.

"Oh, I didn't expect that."

Lu Nanxing chuckled. He had really underestimated Yu Yinzi before.

Some time ago, Taoist Tiansong was poisoned in Taishan Sect, and he knew that it was the mastermind of Songshan Sect. But if someone wanted to poison Taoist Tiansong in Taishan, there must be an insider, and Lu Nanxing immediately thought of Yu Yinzi.

It’s hard to guard against a thief in your own home, so Lu Nanxing simply went straight to find Yu Yinzi.

In order to get the position of the head of the sect, Yu Yinzi naturally joined the Songshan Sect, but how could power be as important as life?

When he was injured by Tian Boguang, Lu Nanxing took the initiative to heal him, but actually took the opportunity to poison him.

After the showdown, Yu Yinzi was afraid of death and obeyed Lu Nanxing's orders. He swore that he would never poison Taoist Tiansong again.

In this way, everything went peacefully until they arrived at Mount Song.

But unexpectedly, Taoist Tiansong still couldn't escape death.

What Lu Nanxing didn't expect was that at this time Yu Yinzi actually passed the position of the head of Taishan Sect to him.

Apart from not wanting to fight with other sect leaders, he just wanted to please him and wanted him to detoxify him.

"nonsense!"

Zuo Lengchan's face turned pale and he shouted loudly.

"The Five Mountains have already merged, so how can there be a Taishan Sect? How can there be a Taishan Sect leader?"

"The new leader has not yet been chosen, and the Five Mountains Sect has not yet been established. The Taishan Sect is still there!"

Although Yu Yinzi is not good at martial arts, he is good at speaking.

"Besides, I just agreed to merge the sects. Taishan Sect has not yet been officially merged into the Five Mountains Sect. How can there be no Taishan Sect leader?"

"you!"

Zuo Lengchan's face was filled with anger, and he shouted coldly again.

"Even so, Lu Nanxing is not a disciple of Taishan Sect, so how can we pass the position of Sect Leader to him!"

"Why not? I will accept him as my disciple now. I am the head of the sect and I have the final say on everything."

Yu Yinzi raised the iron sword high and turned to the Taishan disciples.

"I am now recruiting Lu Nanxing to join me and passing the throne to him. Do you have any objections?"

"We...will obey the orders of the Sect Leader!"

Everyone from the Taishan Sect looked at each other, without any objection at all!

Although Lu Nanxing is not from the Taishan Sect, his martial arts prestige, character and other aspects are many times better than Yu Yinzi!
If Lu Nanxing became the head of Taishan Sect, it would definitely be beneficial to Taishan Sect!
Moreover, if Lu Nanxing were the head of Taishan Sect, he would most likely prevent the merger.

In this way, Taishan Sect will not be annexed!

"That's it."

Yu Yinzi's face was full of pride. He then quickly walked up to Lu Nanxing and presented him the Dongling Iron Sword with both hands.

"Master, please accept the token."

"..."

Lu Nanxing looked at Yu Yinzi, then looked around at everyone.

Zuo Lengchan glared at them, and everyone from the Songshan Sect also had gloomy expressions.

Yue Buqun sat there without moving, but frowned slightly.

Master Dingyi showed a look of joy and signaled Lu Nanxing to take the sword quickly.

Most of the heroes were just watching the fun, while Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu nodded slightly to him.

"it is good."

Lu Nanxing smiled and took the iron sword.

"I will take the position of the leader of Taishan Sect!"

"Meet the leader!"

Yu Yinzi shouted loudly and immediately paid homage.

"Meet the leader!"

Tianbai, Tianyi, and other Taishan disciples also stepped forward to pay their respects.

Although it seems absurd, it is true. Lu Nanxing has transformed himself into the leader of Taishan Sect!

Then, surrounded by the people of Taishan Sect, he came to the seat of the Sect's leader and sat down.

He glanced at Yue Buqun and Liu Zhengfeng beside him, then looked at Zuo Lengchan opposite him.

Zuo Lengchan's face had become extremely gloomy, but suddenly he showed a grim smile with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Everyone, continue."

Lu Nanxing said calmly with a calm expression.

According to previous statements, the leader of the Five Mountains Sects was decided through a martial arts competition, and now Lu Nanxing has taken over as the leader of the Taishan Sect.

In other words, whoever wants to be the leader of the Five Mountains must defeat him first!
"Then continue."

Before Zuo Lengchan could speak, Yue Buqun stood up, looked at Lu Nanxing and Zuo Lengchan, and finally turned to Liu Zhengfeng.

"Brother Liu, how about we spar with each other?"

"it is good."

Liu Zhengfeng did not refuse and immediately stood up.

The two men went up to the Fengchan platform and began to compete.

Both of them used swords, one used the Hengshan sword technique and the other used the Huashan sword technique.

As the leaders of a sect, there is no need to say much about their sword skills and martial arts, and the crowd of people who watched praised them continuously.

But that's all.

The competition was normal and there were no major ups and downs.

After about seventy or eighty moves, Liu Zhengfeng made a mistake and was pressed against the chest by Yue Buqun's sword.

"Concession."

"Mr. Yue is a master swordsman. I admit defeat."

Unlike Nun Dingxian and Zuo Lengchan who fought to the death, the two of them were not hurt at all and did not even expend much effort before the victory was decided.

The two then came back and sat down again, as if it was just an ordinary sparring match.

But in this case, the only three people who are still qualified to compete for the leadership of the Five Mountains Sect are Lu Nanxing, Zuo Lengchan, and Yue Buqun!

Looking at the three people sitting there, the atmosphere on the field suddenly became extremely solemn, and the heroes couldn't help but become nervous.
