The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 84 Who is Xu Xingchen? Hand over the Star Absorbing Technique!

In Xi'an, on the second floor of a restaurant.
The Huashan people, who had been traveling for a whole day, were having a meal when the casual conversation of two people from the martial arts world at a nearby table caught their attention!
"Have you heard? There is a disciple named Xu Xingchen in Huashan Sect. He is very young but has mastered profound internal skills."

"Of course I have heard about it. Rumor has it that the boy has acquired the Star Absorbing Technique from the Demon Cult leader, Chang Woxing, which is why he has such incredible cultivation at this age."

"This news has been spreading like wildfire in the martial arts world recently. I'm afraid that the Huashan Sect's disciple surnamed Xu will suffer many disasters in the future and everyone will want him to be beaten!"

"As a disciple of a righteous martial arts sect, how can you learn such an evil martial art as the Star Absorbing Art? If you allow him to continue to grow, how many people in the martial arts world will have their hard-earned internal energy sucked away by him and die at his hands?!"

"That's true. The evil power of the Star Absorbing Technique is terrifying and weird. It shouldn't exist in this world at all."

When the people at Huashan heard the conversation between the two, they stopped eating and looked at each other, with shock and surprise in their eyes.

Yue Buqun coughed and said softly: "Don't talk, continue eating!"

The disciples then resumed their eating, but they pricked up their ears and carefully listened to the conversation between the two people.
By the time they finished their meal, the two gangsters had already paid the bill and left.

The Huashan group found an inn nearby to stay in, and then all gathered in Yue Buqun's room.

Yue Lingshan was impatient and couldn't hold back any longer. She angrily said, "Those two people are just talking nonsense. How could my junior brother learn the Star Absorbing Technique that the leader of the Demon Cult, I, can do?!"

Sixth Senior Brother Lu Dayou also said indignantly: "Little Junior Sister is right. They are openly discussing this matter in a restaurant where many people gather. Who knows, they may have evil intentions and do it on purpose!"

Fourth Senior Brother Shi Daizi frowned and said, "Junior Brother, you have been staying well in the mountains for the past year. Where did this rumor suddenly come from?"

"As soon as we came down the mountain, this incredible rumor started spreading. What a coincidence in timing."

The eldest senior brother Linghu Chong thought for a long time and said to his master and his mistress suspiciously, "Master, mistress, since I was a child, I have only traveled down the mountain once. I have never heard that he has offended anyone. If he really offended anyone, it was only the time when the three uncles from the Sword Sect went up the mountain."

Yue Buqun looked at his eldest disciple Linghu Chong with appreciation, then turned to look at his younger disciple who had remained calm, and raised his hand.

The disciples immediately shut their mouths and the room returned to silence.

"This rumor appeared out of nowhere, and it happened just when we were going down the mountain. The person who spread it is treacherous and has bad intentions!"

"As for whether it is related to the three people from the Sword Sect, that is another matter!"

"All you need to know now is that we in the Huashan Sect should be careful in what we say and do when we travel the world, and we must not fall into the enemy's trap!"

All the disciples bowed and said, "Yes, Master!"

Yue Buqun waved his hand: "Okay, Xingchen stays, everyone else go back to your rooms and rest!"

The disciples all gave their junior brother comforting looks and turned away. Even Yue Lingshan returned to her room.

In the corner, the candlelight in the lantern emitted a bright glow.

Ning Zhongze, who had been frowning since entering the room, finally spoke: "Xingchen, don't be afraid. Your master and your mistress will take care of this matter for you. They will never let those people succeed in their conspiracy!"

Yue Buqun also said a few words of comfort, telling him not to take it to heart!
Xu Xingchen said gratefully: "Thank you, Master! Master's Wife!"

When the young disciple left the room, Yue Buqun's face suddenly darkened. He snorted coldly and said, "Some people are going too far. Seeing that a genius has emerged among my Huashan disciples, they want to plot and destroy him. This matter must not be let go!"

Ning Zhongze was also angry and said: "Brother, you are right! I think this matter may be related to the Songshan Sect."

Xu Xingchen returned to the room, lit the oil lamp, sat on the chair, and began to think about what happened today!
"I do have the secret formula of the Star Absorbing Art on me. The person who spread the rumor did not wrongly accuse me."

"However, my senior brothers and sisters, my master and his wife will definitely not believe this kind of gossip that comes out of nowhere."

".This should be the work of your Songshan School, first throwing dirty water, and then using a legitimate reason to do so."

". You caught Liu Zhengfeng from the book's world with rumors of making friends with the Demon Cult elders, and arrested him without any substantial evidence."

".Will my future be the same?"

"Haha, interesting! Interesting!"

When Xu Xingchen thought about what happened next, he actually started laughing.

People with weak martial arts skills are afraid of being framed by rumors and being ostracized by their peers; but for a true master, with a sword in hand, what's the harm in becoming an enemy of everyone in the world? !

Haven’t you heard that wild beasts always travel alone, while cattle and sheep travel in herds?
After figuring out what might happen in the future, he actually started to look forward to it.
The next morning, everyone at Huashan checked out of their rooms, left the inn, and headed toward the city gate. Not far from the city, some martial artists with strange behavior followed them.

When they arrived at a forest, hundreds of martial artists were chasing them.
Yue Buqun frowned and stopped, and the others from Huashan also stopped.

Upon seeing this, the martial artists behind them immediately gathered around and surrounded Huashan's group, making it impossible for them to get through.

Yue Buqun's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he asked in a deep voice, "My fellow martial artists, why are you following me?"

The martial artists around were swept by Yue Buqun's gaze and couldn't help but step back half a step, causing some commotion. Then, someone shouted loudly: "Are you Yue Buqun, the leader of Huashan Sect?"

Yue Buqun looked at the person who was shouting loudly in the crowd. He saw that he was hiding behind others, with only half of his shoulder exposed, hiding his face tightly. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes: "Yes, it is me. My friend from the martial arts world, what do you have to say? Why don't you stand up and have a good talk!"

The man laughed and said, "I dare not show my face, let alone teach you, Gentleman Sword. I just heard that among your disciples, there is a man named Xu Xingchen who has learned the Star Absorbing Technique that the leader of the Demon Cult, Zhang Xing, has done. That's why I wanted to come and see it for myself!"

As soon as this person finished speaking, people in the crowd around him immediately started shouting.

"Yes! We heard that one of your disciples has mastered the Star Absorbing Technique, so we wanted to come and see it for ourselves!"

"The Star Absorbing Technique is so famous. Let your disciples demonstrate it to us so that we can broaden our horizons!"

"Master Yue, your disciple has learned such an evil technique. In the future, he will surely become like Ren Woxing, bringing disaster to the martial arts world and causing great suffering to all living beings. We must be on guard against this!"

Some people even glanced at the young disciples of Huashan and shouted loudly, "Who among you is Xu Xingchen? Come out and show us what you look like. Why would Ren Woxing teach you the Star Absorbing Technique?"

"Xu Xingchen, quickly hand over the Star Absorbing Technique and then abolish your own martial arts to save your life!"

"Xu Xingchen, please stand up quickly and admit your mistakes. Don't be stubborn!"

"Xu Xingchen"

Listening to these deliberately misleading shouts, all the Huashan disciples were flushed and gnashed their teeth in anger, wishing they could rush into the crowd and pull out those guys who were hiding.

Seeing more and more people being instigated and joining the shouting, Yue Buqun snorted coldly, like a muffled thunder exploding in the air, shaking the eardrums of everyone around him and making them dizzy. The shouting and yelling suddenly stopped.

"What an amazing inner strength!"

By the time the martial artists around came to their senses, they were horrified and no longer dared to speak casually. Even though there were still one or two voices clamoring, the others had learned their lesson and no longer followed blindly.

Yue Buqun looked around and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, don't let others deliberately lead you into a trap!"

"My Huashan Sect, as one of the Five Great Sword Sects, is an upright and dignified sect in the martial arts world. How could our disciples want to learn the Star Absorbing Technique from the Demon Sect leader, Ren Woxing?"

"This lie is extremely absurd. My fellow martial artists should be able to see through it at a glance!"

"What's more, our Huashan Sect has a long history and countless martial arts. Why would we need to learn the martial arts of his demon sect?"

"The most important thing is that my disciple Xu Xingchen stays in the mountains all year round and rarely comes down. How can he get to know the leader of the Demon Cult?"

At this point, Yue Buqun's face showed a dignified look, his voice was like thunder, and every word boomed: "Such rumors that can be easily debunked not only insult my Huashan disciples, but also insult my Huashan Sect, and even more insult the Five Mountains Sword Sects, and make fun of my fellow righteous people in the martial arts world like monkeys."

"I, Yue Buqun, swear here that I will find the person who spread the rumors and execute him on the spot without mercy!"

The martial artists around were shocked by Yue Buqun's words and their faces changed drastically.

Many people thought about what Yue Buqun said and found that it was indeed true. They looked at each other in bewilderment and were speechless.

Ning Zhongze stood up at this time and said loudly: "My fellow martial artists, this must be a conspiracy of the Demon Cult. Today they are spreading the news that the disciples of our Huashan Sect have learned the magic skills of the Demon Cult. Tomorrow they may spread the news that Brother Zuo of the Songshan Sect, who is also the leader of our Five Mountains Sword Sect, has colluded with Dongfang Bubai and is preparing to join forces to kill Ren Woxing and all those who oppose them and divide the world equally."

"What about the day after tomorrow? Will they say something bad about Shaolin Temple? Will they say that Wudang Sect is wrong?"

"You fellows should not easily believe such absurd remarks. However, there are some vicious guys among you who are eager to cause chaos in the world. They are deliberately spreading rumors and misleading everyone, hoping to make us, the righteous martial artists, lose our footing and doubt each other. In this way, they can defeat us one by one and destroy us."

"So, fellow believers, don't just believe everything you hear, you must be able to discern the evil intentions of those people."
