Chapter 173 Rumors, gossip can melt metal!
Yue Buqun also felt very complicated at this moment.

He has a lot of things to think about.

First, he hasn't figured out how to face Ning Zhongze.

Secondly, he hasn't figured out how to face Lin Pingan yet.

After all, Lin Pingan's strength is too amazing.

He is no longer an ordinary disciple of his.

So you have to think about how to arrange it.

Logically speaking, with Lin Ping'an's current strength, he is qualified enough to take over Huashan, but Yue Buqun does not want to retreat behind the scenes.

He paid such a heavy price and finally gained his current strength. Seeing that Zuo Lengchan was about to be defeated, Huashan was about to flourish in his hands and become the top of the Five Mountains.

If we ask him to retreat behind the scenes now, wouldn't that be giving up halfway?

All the achievements will be handed over to others?

From now on, people all over the world will think that it was Lin Ping'an who revitalized Huashan, and will praise Lin Ping'an highly, making him famous throughout the world and a powerful figure in the martial arts world.

As for him, Yue Buqun, no one would know him and he would remain unknown.

This is something Yue Buqun absolutely cannot tolerate.

"Then let's go to Luoyang to find Ping Yizhi. He is a great doctor in the world. Maybe he can find a way to heal your eyes."

Ning Zhongze said immediately.

"I know my eyes have been blinded. Even if a god came, he couldn't heal them, let alone a miracle doctor."

Yue Buqun's mouth twitched slightly and he said.

Then he changed the subject, "I've been to Luoyang and met Lin Zhennan. Lin Zhennan's eyes were blinded by the poison and he couldn't recover completely, let alone an injury like mine. There's no need for us to waste our efforts."

Although he was very unwilling, Yue Buqun was also a rational person.

Don't have unrealistic expectations.

Since there is no cure, there is no need to waste time asking for help.

"But Brother, your internal injuries..."

Ning Zhongze was still worried.

Although she is in a complicated situation now and has done those things, she also feels even more guilty towards Yue Buqun because of this.

No matter what choice Yue Buqun made, at least he did not betray her.

But she has already...

"Don't worry. Give me enough time. With my Purple Cloud Divine Art's ability to control the Ice Qi, I will be able to recover sooner or later."

Yue Buqun said calmly.

"Then we will stay with you. If Zuo Lengchan continues to send out assassins, they won't be able to hurt you at all with us here. You can rest assured and heal your wounds."

Ning Zhongze continued.

Yue Buqun's eyes flickered, and then he nodded, "Okay, wait until I recover from my injuries, then I'll settle the score with Zuo Lengchan, humph!"

Yue Buqun snorted coldly, but no one knew what he was thinking.

"Dad, let's find an inn to rest now."

Yue Lingshan immediately stepped forward to help.

Yue Buqun did not stop him this time.

The group left the place quickly.

However, the bodies on the ground were discovered soon after.

Some people recognized the identities of some people on the ground and were all surprised.

"They are from the Songshan Sect. They are all masters of the Songshan Sect."

"They are all dead. Looking at the injuries, do they look like they were caused by flying knives?"

"Could it be Lin Ping'an from the Huashan Sect? Has he come down the mountain?"

"It must be him. In the whole world, the only one who has such flying knife skills is Lin Ping'an. And the only one who dares to kill people from Songshan Sect so recklessly is him, Lin Ping'an!"

Many people showed a look of confidence.

After all, even high-ranking figures like the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan were killed by Lin Pingan without mercy, so the other disciples of Songshan Sect were killed without any scruples, just like cutting melons and vegetables.

"I heard before that people from Songshan Sect were chasing Huashan Junzijian. Could these people be the killers?"

"After all, this road is the only way to Mount Hua."

People from all walks of life looked at the corpse on the ground and made guesses.

Combined with what some other people saw, the general picture of the matter was quickly restored.

"The dispute between Huashan and Songshan has now reached the point where fire and water cannot coexist. If it were a few months ago, no one would have thought that Huashan would have such power to bring the arrogant Songshan Sect down to the ground!"

Someone sighed quietly, with a look of sadness on his face.

After all, the Songshan Sect used to be overbearing and unscrupulous. As the leader of the Five Mountains, although he could not completely command the Five Mountains sects, the other four sects did not dare to offend Songshan.

Because none of the four sects can compare with the Songshan Sect. Even if the four sects join forces, they can only barely compete with the Songshan Sect.

Therefore, the Songshan Sect behaved in a domineering manner in the martial arts world, exterminating families at will without any scruples.

However, although this kind of work style has been criticized and made many people angry and furious, no one dares to say anything to their face.

I can only swallow my anger.

I didn’t expect that in just these few short months, the world would change so much.

The once domineering Songshan Sect, which was full of masters, is now in decline, has suffered successive setbacks and suffered heavy losses.

Everyone sighed.

But some people chuckled, "Everyone, this is a good thing!"

Hearing this, many people looked in the direction of his gaze.

A middle-aged man stood up and said, "The Songshan Sect has committed many evil deeds. Although it is called an upright sect, Zuo Lengchan has absorbed many wandering cultivators in order to expand his power. Among them, there are many evildoers. With the support of the Songshan Sect, these people are more unscrupulous. Over the years, I don't know how many sects have been endangered and how many people who did not obey the Songshan Sect have been killed. It can be said that those who follow me prosper and those who go against me perish."

"Zuo Lengchan is so domineering, he is no less than the former demon lord Ren Woxing. Now that Songshan is in decline, he can no longer do evil. Isn't this a good thing?"

"Hahaha, that makes sense."

After hearing this, many people nodded in approval, "Zuo Lengchan is known as the leader of the righteous path and is fighting against the Demon Cult, but what their Songshan Sect has done over the years is even more harmful than the Demon Cult."

"Master Yue of Huashan is known as the Gentleman Sword in the martial arts world. He is a chivalrous man with a kind heart and has helped many weak people. With the rise of Huashan, if Gentleman Sword becomes the leader of the Five Mountains, he will surely enable us, the righteous people, to wipe out the evil and miasma of Zuo Lengchan's time."

"It's hard to say. People change. Maybe Yue Buqun will become the leader of the Five Mountains and do something extreme in order to develop and expand Huashan."

Some people shook their heads and were not optimistic.

"Yes, human nature is the most unpredictable. Master Yue used to be chivalrous, but that was because the Songshan Sect was doing evil. If he wanted to gain fame, he naturally had to do good things. If the Songshan Sect was destroyed, Huashan would become the number one of the Five Mountains, and Yue Buqun would become the leader. Without the pressure of Zuo Lengchan, it would be uncertain what Huashan would do at that time."

"What's more, there are rumors in the martial arts world that Huashan Junzi Sword secretly learned the Lin family's Exorcism Sword Manual, which is closely related to the Sunflower Manual. It is also an evil skill that requires self-castration to practice. If Yue Buqun really castrated himself, how can a disabled person be qualified to lead the Five Mountains Sword Sect?"

"That makes sense. Since ancient times, eunuchs have been on duty in the imperial palace. How can they suppress people like us? If that happens, I'm afraid that people like us in the righteous path will all become the laughing stock of the Demon Cult."

People around were talking and whispering.

"What do you think? Will Yue Buqun take this opportunity to push Young Master Lin to the front and take over as the head of the sect? After all, Young Master Lin is so young, yet he has such strength. I'm afraid it won't be long before he can conquer the martial arts world, defeat Dongfang Bubai, and become the best in the world."

Someone suddenly said.

These words made many people hesitate, or even feel surprised and uncertain.

They almost forgot that there was another master in Huashan, a master who was even more unfathomable than Yue Buqun, and who was younger and had a brighter future.

"What a joke! If it were you, after working so hard all your life and finally reaping the rewards of your hard work, would you be willing to step back and hand over your achievements to others?"

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly sneered.

The person who spoke was a young man in white, very elegant.

"Saint Aunt, aren't we here to look for Young Master Lin? Why are you making such a fuss here?"

A maid beside him whispered.

"rest assured."

Ren Yingying tapped her palm with the folding fan in her hand and continued, "Why aren't you talking? It seems like you all support my opinion!"

"Kid, who are you? No matter what, Gentleman Sword is an upright gentleman. You have no right to insult him."

Some people were dissatisfied with Ren Yingying's behavior and immediately stood up and scolded her.

"Humph, weren't you the ones who were talking about Yue Buqun's castration just now? If it's really an insult, I'm afraid it's you who are humiliating him, right?"

Ren Yingying chuckled.

This made many people blush, but they couldn't say anything.

Because it's true.

Compared to what Ren Yingying said, their remarks were even more humiliating.

"Let's go!"

Ren Yingying waved her folding fan lightly, then turned and left.

Some people were indignant and wanted to step forward to stop it, but were held back by the people around them.

"This person is quite impressive, maybe he is a master from some big sect. If you go up to him, you will only bring disgrace upon yourself."

After hearing this, many people suppressed their eager thoughts.

When dealing with the world, the most important thing is to have vision and know how to judge the situation.

……

"Master, Zuo Lengchan is already blind and can hardly exert his full strength in martial arts. Why do you still keep him here?"

the other side.

Xiang Wentian asked Ren Woxing with a puzzled look on his face.

"Everyone has his own uses. Although Zuo Lengchan is blind, his strength is still there. Keeping him might be more effective than killing him."

Ren Woxing narrowed his eyes slightly and said lightly.

Although absorbing Zuo Lengchan's skills will increase his skills again.

But Ren Woxing also knew very well that he had actually reached his limit.

It was in order to seek a breakthrough that he absorbed the inner strength of various masters, wanting to refine it together to help himself take a further step. However, he did not expect to go astray and almost lose all his strength, which gave Dongfang Bubai an opportunity to take advantage of, and he was imprisoned in a water prison for more than ten years.

Although continuing to devour other people's internal energy will be helpful to him, the benefits are not as great as before.

This is the main reason why he did not absorb Zuo Lengchan's skills.

Especially, Zuo Lengchan practiced the Ice Qi, which was a different kind of Qi. Swallowing such Qi would do him more harm than good in the short term.

"So that's how it is, Master Sheng Ming."

Xiang Wentian pretended to be surprised and at the same time flattered him subtly.

"But Master, Zuo Lengchan has a deep hatred for Huashan Sect and Lin Ping'an, and he wants you to avenge him. But Young Master Lin has a close relationship with Saint Aunt. What should we do?"

Xiang Wentian showed a worried look, "Especially recently, it is widely rumored that Lin Ping'an is the future leader of Huashan and the future leader of the Five Mountains. With his strength, if he is hostile to our Divine Religion, he will definitely be a great enemy of our Divine Religion."

"Especially, sometimes when he is in a position like that, he can no longer make the final decision on many things. If they are on different sides, it may be difficult to reconcile them."

Xiang Wentian said in a deep voice.

After all, the righteous have always regarded the Sun and Moon Sect as their mortal enemy.

Many times they just do it without any explanation.

As the two sides continued to fight for a hundred years, some of their predecessors died at the hands of each other.

Such a contradiction is difficult to reconcile.

Therefore, if Lin Ping'an becomes a pillar of the righteous path in the future, his relationship with Ren Yingying will become extremely complicated.

"We'll talk about the future later. It's not easy to marry my daughter, Ren Woxing. No matter what, this guy's current strength is indeed very important to us. With him, our chances of killing Dongfang Bubai will be much greater."

Ren Woxing raised his hand to stop Xiang Wentian.

How could he not know Xiang Wentian's worries?

With Lin Ping'an's strength, he no longer has enough power to suppress or threaten the other party.

He could see that although Lin Ping'an was very respectful to him on the surface, that was because there was no irreconcilable conflict between the two sides.

Once it happens, I'm afraid...

Ren Woxing shook his head. At least before getting rid of Dongfang Bubai, he and Lin Pingan had no conflict.

As for the future, with Yingying here, I can take my time.

"What the leader said is true. Our biggest enemy is still Dongfang Bubai. He has not made a move in Blackwood Cliff for many years. No one knows how strong he is now, so we must be cautious."

Xiang Wentian said with a serious expression.

Speaking of Qiu Lai, during Ren Woxing's period, he and Dongfang Bubai were Ren Woxing's right-hand men and had equal status. But now the opponent's strength is far beyond their ability to match.

This also made Xiang Wentian feel complicated.

……

the other side.

After a few days of treatment, Yue Buqun's injuries recovered a lot and his complexion became much rosier.

But today, when he was sitting in the restaurant and heard the discussions around him, his face turned pale with anger.

His fists clenched involuntarily.

Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan on the side were also a little nervous.

After a while, Yue Lingshan broke the silence, "Dad, don't listen to their nonsense. People in the underworld love to exaggerate and make up rumors."

"You are right. Ping An hasn't even received your instruction on the Purple Cloud Divine Art yet. How could he possibly take over the position of the head of Huashan so soon?"

Ning Zhongze also said immediately.

Because the discussions they just heard were all about Yue Buqun might have to abdicate and let someone else take over.

Some even said that Yue Buqun was old and not as good as his disciples, so he should step down and let more capable people take over.

Many of the words were extremely harsh to the ear.

"Don't worry, this little thing is not enough to make me angry."

After a moment, Yue Buqun forced himself to calm down and glanced at Lin Pingan.

Lin Pingan still appeared extremely calm.

It seemed as if he was not moved at all by the previous words.
