Liver into a martial arts legend: starting with Embroidered Spring Blade

Chapter 149 Left Sect Leader, How Have You Been? [Two Chapters Combined]

Mount Song, bathed in the cold moonlight.

Zuo Lengchan had just settled the leaders of various sects and several martial arts masters who had come up the mountain today when he received a report from his junior brother Ding Mian.

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, the Embroidered Uniform Guards have arrived and are stationed at the garrison in Dengfeng County!"

Ding Mian, the "Pagoda Bearer," had a very solemn expression.

"It's just as I expected!"

Zuo Lengchan's gaze turned slightly cold as he said, "I have already given an explanation, but he still doesn't want to let me go."

"The Overlord Blade? It truly is incredibly domineering!"

Ding Mian said in a deep voice, "Senior brother, since the Embroidered Uniform Guard did not go up the mountain immediately, they may be waiting for the Five Mountains Alliance. At that time, things may not be peaceful!"

Zuo Lengchan nodded and said coldly, "It's alright, I was prepared!"

"Right now, people from all the major sects are on the mountain, and the Shaolin people have also promised to stand up for us. I don't believe he would dare to make a move in front of everyone!"

"There's no need to worry about this anymore; just send someone to keep an eye on it."

"I will continue to persuade the other sects in the next few days, and then we will put pressure on the imperial court together. At worst, we will pay a price to settle this matter."

Although he was unwilling, Zuo Lengchan understood that this was ultimately due to his carelessness, which gave the court an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Even though he acted decisively, eliminating Fei Bin and his followers, and sending a large amount of jewelry to the court to show his remorse, he still failed to deliver on his promise.

He could fool others, but he couldn't fool Jiang Xuan, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Because Lin Pingzhi is still alive.

Therefore, no matter how indignant and resentful he was, he could only grit his teeth and pay a higher price, using both soft and hard tactics in the hope of resolving the matter.

The Songshan Sect is now far from being able to offend the imperial court.

But it doesn't matter, temporary honor or disgrace is nothing.

If he can resolve this crisis and successfully take control of the Five Mountains, his status in the martial arts world will be completely different.

One day, when the Five Mountains Sword Sect has grown strong enough to rival top sects like Shaolin and Wudang, it will have the right to negotiate with the imperial court.

The humiliation I have suffered today, I will surely avenge myself in the future!

Zuo Lengchan took a deep breath, looked at Ding Mian, and asked, "How's the matter I asked you to handle going?"

"The matter with the Mount Tai Sect has been settled!"

Ding Mian said, "Elder Yu Jizi of the Taishan Sect intends to seize the position of sect leader, and he also has the support of Yu Qingzi and Yu Yinzi. As long as we help him seize the position of sect leader, he will agree to the merger of the Five Mountains Sects and support Senior Brother to take the position of alliance leader."

"Over at Mount Heng in Nanyue, 'Golden-Eyed Eagle' Lu Lianrong also agreed to support his senior brother, but his position in the sect is not high and he cannot compete with Master Mo, so he cannot provide any substantial help."

Zuo Lengchan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "It's alright. I will handle the matter with Mo Da myself. Liu Zhengfeng still hasn't given me an explanation for colluding with Qu Yang of the Demonic Sect last time. If he dares to jump out again this time, how can I tolerate him?"

"What about Mount Hua and Mount Heng (the Northern Peak)?"

Zuo Lengchan continued to ask.

"Over at Mount Hua, I have found Feng Buping and two other former disciples of the Sword Sect and persuaded them to challenge Yue Buqun, but there has been no news from them yet."

Ding Mian shook his head helplessly: "As for Mount Heng in the north, those three old nuns did come, but they didn't reply. They just said they would talk about it on the day of the alliance meeting. Most likely, they won't agree to send anyone."

Zuo Lengchan frowned: "It's already this late, and there's still no news?"

Ding Mian pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps something has delayed him. Senior brother, there's no need to worry. The inside man would never betray us."

Zuo Lengchan narrowed his eyes and said, "If there is any news, report it immediately. Yue Buqun is a man of deep cunning, not as simple as he appears. Moreover, he has considerable prestige in the Five Mountains Sect. If he opposes the merger, the Northern Hengshan Sect will most likely not agree either. In that case, all our efforts will be in vain."

“Yes, senior brother.” Ding Mian nodded.

……

Five days later, the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance was held as scheduled.

Before dawn, martial arts practitioners in Dengfeng County had already begun to ascend the mountain, some even arriving overnight to witness this rare spectacle in the martial arts world in recent years.

Jiang Xuan and his group mingled with the crowd and climbed the mountain together.

Unlike Mount Hua, Mount Song is not as steep and precipitous; it is much gentler. However, the scenery is equally serene and beautiful. The mountains rise and fall, towering majestically, displaying a grand and imposing atmosphere.

Mount Song has a total of 72 peaks, with two main peaks: Mount Taishi to the east, which is the site of the Songshan School of Taoism; and Mount Shaoshi to the west, which is the birthplace of Shaolin Temple.

The group of martial arts practitioners are currently climbing Mount Taishi in the East.

"There are quite a few people here this time!"

Looking at the long line of people climbing the mountain, everyone felt a sense of emotion.

The martial arts world has not been this lively for a long time.

Upon reaching the summit, people were even more awestruck.

At a glance, the mountains and fields were filled with people, no less than several thousand, dressed in all sorts of clothes mixed together. Those dressed in more uniform clothes were obviously people from various sects, and some of them even held the banners representing their sects, which fluttered in the wind.

The Songshan Sect's training grounds were also very spacious, with residences built against the mountain, and the more open areas in the middle were built into square platforms connected by bluestone staircases, which looked very magnificent.

"Everyone who's supposed to be here has arrived," Jiang Xuan murmured, his gaze sweeping across the area closest to the Songshan Sect's courtyard.

Shaolin, Wudang, Emei...

And the main figures of this Five Mountains Alliance, the people of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, are all gathered there at this moment, and can be identified by their clothing and flags.

"The martial arts world of the Central Plains is truly full of talented people!" Ye Kai stood next to Li Xunhuan, feeling somewhat emotional, his eyes filled with anticipation and longing.

He grew up in the border region and longed for the prosperity of the Central Plains.

What he sees now has a great impact on him, and fills him with hope for the future.

"Don't be fooled by the number of people; there aren't many true masters among them. No more than twenty people could catch your flying knife!" Lu Xiaofeng curled his lip, clearly having some knowledge of these martial arts figures.

He had already sparred with Ye Kai in the past few days. This guy had received Li Xunhuan's true teachings. Although his cultivation level was only in the Innate Realm, his throwing knives were as fast as lightning. He had even developed the momentum of throwing knives, which was quite formidable.

If it's a sneak attack, even a grandmaster can break through the defense and kill them, which is quite outrageous.

"Brother Jiang, shall we go in and join the fun?" Lu Xiaofeng asked Jiang Xuan.

"Let's go."

Jiang Xuan did not refuse. Everything was ready, and there was no rush to wipe out the entire family. He would go in first and see what was going on.

The group made their way through the crowd and soon arrived at the innermost mountain temple of the Songshan Sect.

The area was already crowded with martial arts figures from various factions, but upon seeing the group of people arrive, they all made way for them.

Some came out of respect for Lu Xiaofeng, while others recognized Li Xunhuan. They all looked surprised and came forward to greet him.

Lu Xiaofeng and Li Xunhuan responded one by one, in a very low-key and polite manner.

It's clear that the two have a wide circle of friends in the martial arts world, ranging from sect leaders to wandering rogues; quite a few of them are acquainted with them.

"Brother Lu, Brother Hua, you've come too?"

A surprised voice rang out from the side.

The group turned around, their faces showing surprise.

"Brother Jianchen, you've actually come to join in the fun too?" Lu Xiaofeng greeted him.

Jian Chen smiled and stepped forward: "Such a grand event is rare in the martial arts world. I just happened to be stuck in a bottleneck in my martial arts recently, so I came out for a walk to see if I could gain anything."

As Jian Chen spoke, he cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Jiang Xuan, but seemed unsure of how to address him, and hesitated somewhat.

"Brother Jianchen, how is your master?" Jiang Xuan asked, putting his doubts at ease.

Jian Chen breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Jiang Xuan. My master is doing well, but..."

Jian Chen hesitated for a moment, then said, "My master asked me to pass on a message to Brother Jiang, hoping that he would be lenient and not provoke any conflicts in the martial world."

Jiang Xuan's smile faded, and he said calmly, "Thank you for reminding me, senior."

He genuinely disliked Wuming's saintly, compassionate attitude.

Jian Chen noticed that Jiang Xuan's attitude had cooled down a bit, sighed inwardly, helplessly cupped his hands in greeting, walked to Lu Xiaofeng's side, and stopped talking.

"Everyone!"

Just then, a disciple from Songshan walked out of the courtyard, cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd, and shouted loudly, "I am Shi Dengda, the eldest disciple of Songshan. My master is Zuo Lengchan, the head of Songshan."

"As you all know, today is a great day for the merger of our Five Mountains Sword Sects. We, the entire Songshan Sect, are deeply grateful to all of you for coming to Mount Song to witness this ceremony."

"Because there are too many people, the dojo can no longer accommodate everyone. But since you have come from afar to witness this grand event, we don't want to disappoint you."

"Therefore, my master has made a last-minute decision to hold the conference at Fengchan Terrace so that all martial arts friends can see it. Please come to Fengchan Terrace for a chat. My master will be there soon."

After Shi Dengda finished speaking, many disciples came out of the Songshan Taoist temple to lead the way to the Fengchan Terrace.

The Fengchan Terrace is located on a mountain peak adjacent to the Songshan Taoist temple. It is surrounded by well-constructed mountain roads and squares, with a huge circular platform in the middle that can accommodate hundreds of people.

A short while later, the people from the Five Mountains Sword Sect also came out of the dojo, led by a group of older, distinguished figures, heading towards the Fengchan Platform.

Among the leading figures were none other than Zuo Lengchan, Yue Buqun, and other leaders of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, as well as people from various top sects such as Shaolin and Wudang.

Soon, everyone gathered around the Fengchan Terrace, and as far as the eye could see, there was a sea of ​​people, densely packed together.

The Songshan Sect set up chairs on the Fengchan Platform and arranged personnel from various top sects.

Then, Zuo Lengchan, dressed in a yellow brocade robe, walked out from behind, stood at the highest point, looked at the grand scene, smiled, cupped his hands in greeting to the surroundings, and said, "Welcome, friends from the martial arts world, to Mount Song. I am deeply grateful."

"Today is a great day for the Five Mountains Sword Sect to be united as one. It is an honor for the Five Mountains Sword Sect to have all of you martial arts friends here to witness this."

"Our Five Mountains Sword Sects have always been of one mind and one branch, and have been allied together for hundreds of years. We are already one family."

"I am unworthy, but I have been elected as the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Alliance and have served for many years. However, in recent years, many major events have occurred in the martial arts world."

"In order to better develop and benefit the martial arts world, I discussed with my senior brothers from the Five Mountains Sword Sect and we all felt that merging the Five Mountains Sword Sect into one was the best choice."

Zuo Lengchan's voice wasn't loud, but it carried throughout the area around the Fengchan Platform. Many people present were secretly astonished, marveling at his impressive internal strength.

"I wonder which senior brothers Alliance Leader Zuo has discussed this with?"

Just then, a voice rang out, interrupting Zuo Lengchan's passionate speech.

Everyone looked over and saw that the speaker was none other than Master Mo Da, the leader of the Hengshan Sect, also known as "Xiaoxiang Night Rain".

Zuo Lengchan looked down and said calmly, "I haven't discussed this with Mr. Mo, but as I just mentioned, many major events have occurred in the martial arts world in recent years. My actions are also to ensure that the Five Mountains Sword Sects can unite under one command and resist powerful enemies." A hint of sarcasm flashed in Mr. Mo's eyes as he cupped his hands and asked, "I would like to ask, what major events have prompted Alliance Leader Zuo to mobilize such a large force and decide to unify our Five Mountains Sword Sects?"

Zuo Lengchan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "For example, last year your junior brother Liu Zhengfeng colluded with Qu Yang, an elder of the Demonic Sect, causing harm to the martial arts world. Everyone knows this!"

"Even now, Mr. Mo has yet to give the martial arts world an explanation for this matter!"

A flash of anger crossed Master Mo's eyes as he said, "It is true that my junior brother has a private relationship with the elders of the Demonic Sect, but Alliance Leader Zuo, tell me, who has he harmed?"

Zuo Lengchan said indifferently, "As a righteous sect in the martial arts world, colluding with the demonic sect is already an outrage against heaven and earth. As for who he has harmed, how many martial arts practitioners have been harmed by the demonic sect in recent years? Do I need to list them all?"

"The Five Mountains Sword Sects are of one mind and have always been allies in offense and defense. Hengshan has made such a big mistake. If it weren't for my guarantee, Hengshan would have been trampled to the ground by all of you angry martial arts practitioners."

"If Master Mo still has objections to the merger, he can stand apart from the Five Sacred Mountains and resolve this problem on his own."

Mr. Mo's expression froze, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he sat back down without saying a word.

The crowd discussed among themselves, and seeing that Zuo Lengchan had persuaded the Hengshan Sect with just a few words, they couldn't help but admire him.

"It seems that Zuo Lengchan had already made preparations in advance and was determined to succeed in the merger of the Five Mountains Sects."

Lu Xiaofeng said in a low voice, "Brother Jiang, aren't you going to make a move yet? If you wait until the Five Mountains Alliance succeeds, it won't be so easy for you to attack Zuo Lengchan."

Jiang Xuan said calmly, "No rush. Even if the Five Mountains Alliance merges, it doesn't necessarily mean he has the final say."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng and the others were slightly taken aback, then their eyes flickered as they carefully pondered the meaning of his words. Could it be that Jiang Xuan had other plans?
Jiang Xuan remained silent, continuing to gaze at the Fengchan Platform.

Zuo Lengchan withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "The Hengshan Sect of the Southern Peak has no objection to the merger. I wonder what Brother Tianmen of the Taishan Sect of the Eastern Peak thinks?"

A middle-aged Taoist priest in Taoist robes stood up and said without hesitation, "Since our Taishan Sect was founded by our ancestor, Taoist Master Dongling, it has been more than 300 years. I am unworthy and unvirtuous. Although I cannot carry forward the Taishan Sect, I will never tolerate the extinction of our ancestor's legacy in my hands."

"I absolutely refuse to accept this proposal to merge the sects!"

Zuo Lengchan's expression turned cold, and he was about to speak.

At this moment, an old voice rang out from the crowd of Taishan Sect members: "Nephew Tianmen, you are wrong to say that. The Taishan Sect has more than 400 members across four generations. You cannot hinder the great cause that is beneficial to our sect for your own selfish desires!"

Master Tianmen's expression changed, and he turned around to look at him: "Yujizi, what do you mean by that? My opposition to merging factions is precisely to better preserve our Mount Tai faction. When has it been for my own selfish desires?"

Yu Jizi said calmly, "That's hard to say. Aren't you against merging factions because you're worried about losing your position as sect leader?"

Daoist Tianmen was furious: "Don't judge a gentleman by your own petty standards! What does it matter whether I remain the sect leader or not? But our Mount Tai Sect will never allow anyone to swallow us up!"

Standing next to Yu Jizi, Elder Yu Yinzi of Mount Tai sneered, "Your words are nice, but who knows if you're worried that if the Five Mountains Alliance merges, you'll have to give up your position as sect leader."

"you……"

Master Tianmen, enraged, suddenly reached behind him and pulled out the iron sword of the Taishan Sect's leader, shouting, "Do you really think this position of sect leader is mine? Let whoever wants to be the sect leader take it!"

The group looked at each other in bewilderment. They had heard about the discord within the Mount Tai Sect, but they hadn't expected the infighting to be so severe.

Moreover, this Taoist priest Tianmen was so impulsive that he resigned from his position as sect leader in front of everyone.
"This is clearly a trap set for Daoist Tianmen. Yu Jizi and the others deliberately provoked him. The Taishan Sect is finished..." Many people from various sects shook their heads and sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, a triumphant look appeared in Yu Jizi's eyes as he said, "Are you really willing to give up this position as sect leader?"

Daoist Tianmen said righteously, "As long as my Taishan Sect can be preserved, what does it matter if I give up my position as sect leader?"

"Excellent! Nephew Tianmen is indeed selfless and impartial. I admire you!"

As Yu Jizi was speaking, he suddenly flashed out and, taking advantage of Tianmen Daoist's inattention, snatched the sect leader's iron sword into his hand.

"What...what are you doing?!" Daoist Tianmen's expression changed, and he was about to grab it when Yu Yinzi and Yu Qingzi blocked him.

"Tianmen, are you going to commit treason?" Yuqingzi shouted.

Yu Jizi held up the sect leader's iron sword and sneered, "Nephew Tianmen, seeing the sect leader's iron sword is like seeing him in person. I think you must know that, right?"

Master Tianmen finally realized what was happening and hurriedly said, "I... I was just saying that, I didn't say I wouldn't be the sect leader. Quickly return the sect leader's iron sword!"

"presumptuous!"

Yu Jizi coldly said, "How can you treat the position of sect leader of my Mount Tai Sect so lightly? You voluntarily gave up the position of sect leader in front of all the martial arts practitioners. Now you just say you don't want to do it anymore? Do you think it's that easy?"

"Not bad!"

"Tianmen is not worthy to be the sect leader!"

A group of Taishan disciples shouted in unison, their emotions running high.

“You…you all…” Master Tianmen’s face was ashen. In the entire Mount Tai Sect, he was the only one who was still holding on?

"What has been the point of all my efforts over the years? How pathetic and laughable!"

Master Tianmen was utterly disappointed. He gave a bitter laugh, shook his head, staggered off the stage, and stumbled down the mountain. His Daoist heart had been shattered by the blow.

Everyone sighed with emotion, but no one sympathized with him.

A dignified sect leader, yet utterly lacking in intelligence and skill, he was completely sidelined without even realizing it.

What right does someone like that have to be the sect leader?
Holding the sect leader's iron sword, Yu Jizi turned and bowed to Zuo Lengchan, declaring with righteous indignation, "On behalf of the Mount Tai sect, I support the merger of the Five Sacred Mountains!"

A smile appeared in Zuo Lengchan's eyes. He nodded, turned to look at the remaining Huashan and Hengshan sects, and said, "Of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, three have now agreed to merge. I wonder what Mr. Yue and Abbess Dingxian think?"

Master Dingxian's expression was solemn, already sensing that the situation was not quite right today. Therefore, she did not reply, but turned to look at Yue Buqun opposite her, bowed and asked, "I wonder what insightful opinion Master Yue has?"

Seeing this, everyone realized that the key to the matter lay with the Huashan Sect, and so they all turned their attention to Yue Buqun.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Yue Buqun slowly stood up and paced back and forth, saying, "My Huashan Sect has been established for more than two hundred years. There was once a tragic internal struggle between the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect, which resulted in countless casualties within the sect. In the end, the Sword Sect retreated to seclusion. Even now, when I think about it, I still feel a chill down my spine."

"Therefore, in the martial arts world, it's better to unite than to separate sects!"

The expressions of the Hengshan group changed slightly.

However, a smile had already appeared on Zuo Lengchan's face.

Yue Buqun, with a solemn expression, continued, "For thousands of years, in the martial world, there have been endless feuds and fights. Countless heroes of the martial world have died tragically, and countless orphans and widows have wept in the dead of night."

"The reason for this is that they are all from different sectarian factions!"

"So I thought, if there were no sectarian conflicts in the martial arts world, and all sects were one family, would these tragedies still happen? Would so many fellow martial artists still die unnatural deaths?"

"Wait a minute!"

At this moment, Abbess Miejue of the Emei Sect spoke up, saying, "If we follow Mr. Yue's idea, wouldn't all the sects in the martial arts world have to unite as one family in order to get rid of this sectarian conflict?"

Yue Buqun bowed slightly to Abbess Miejue and said, "My words only represent my Five Mountains Sword Sect. Because all five of my sects are famous for their swords and share the same lineage, we have our own sectarian differences. Naturally, we dare not compare ourselves with other sects."

Abbess Miejue's expression softened slightly, and she fell silent.

Yue Buqun continued, "I dare not speak ill of other sects, but at least for my Huashan and Five Mountains Sword Sects, in order to avoid future sectarian disputes and fratricide, the merger of the Five Mountains is imperative!"

The Hengshan Sect members looked rather grim.

Master Dingxian said in a deep voice, "According to Sect Leader Yue's idea, after the merger, who should be the leader of the Five Mountains Sect? Moreover, our Five Mountains Sword Sects belong to different regions and are far apart. How should we manage them then?"

Yue Buqun cupped his hands and said, "I have carefully considered what you said, Master."

"After the merger of the Five Mountains Sects, our five sects will share resources and learn from each other's strengths. The disciples within our sects will be as close as family and make progress together. I believe that it will not be long before we can flourish and prosper."

"As for who will be the sect leader? I dare not make any rash statements on this matter; it depends on what you all think."

"but……"

Yue Buqun changed the subject, saying, "Before electing a new leader of the Five Mountains Sect, there are some hidden dangers that are detrimental to our Five Mountains Sect. I think we should resolve them first."

Zuo Lengchan was about to offer his opinion when he heard this, and frowned, saying, "I wonder what kind of hidden danger Mr. Yue is referring to..."

Yue Buqun said calmly, "What Senior Brother Zuo just mentioned refers to several major events that have occurred in the martial arts world in recent years."

"Coincidentally, some of these matters are related to Senior Brother Zuo..."

Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

Zuo Lengchan's heart sank as he sensed something amiss, and he said in a deep voice, "Mr. Yue, please enlighten me."

Yue Buqun nodded, looked at him, and said, "For example, shouldn't Senior Brother Zuo give me an explanation in front of all the martial arts practitioners for sending his disciples to infiltrate my Huashan sect and steal my Huashan sword techniques?"

As Yue Buqun spoke, he waved his hand, and the crowd dispersed. A group of Huashan disciples stepped forward, and Feng Buping and his companions were among them.

In Feng Buping's hand, there was a figure who was bound hand and foot, which was none other than Yue Buqun's second disciple, Lao Denuo.

"Get up there and confess your crimes!" Feng Buping said, throwing Laudenuo onto the stage.

Yue Buqun smiled and said, "In order to avoid any doubts, let me first introduce you. These are my senior brothers from the Huashan Sword Sect. They have now returned to our sect."

"And he is Yue's second disciple, Lao Denuo."

Yue Buqun pointed at Lao Denuo and said, "Seven days ago, he stole our sect's supreme secret manual, the Zixia Divine Skill. I caught him on the spot. After interrogation, he claimed to be the third disciple under Senior Brother Zuo. He said that he was sent by Senior Brother Zuo to enter the sect with his skills and to monitor me and steal my Huashan sword techniques."

Yue Buqun looked at Zuo Lengchan with a smile and said, "I don't quite understand. What is it about me that makes you want to monitor me, Senior Brother Zuo? The Songshan sword technique is so advanced, why would you send someone to steal my Huashan sword technique? I would appreciate your guidance, Senior Brother Zuo."

The crowd was in an uproar.

It is not uncommon in the martial arts world for disciples to join other sects and secretly learn their martial arts.

Unexpectedly, the Songshan Sect also did such a thing, and was caught red-handed by Yue Buqun.
Zuo Lengchan's face darkened, and he said, "I don't quite understand what Mr. Yue is saying. If you just pick any disciple and say that I ordered it, am I supposed to admit it?"

"So, Senior Brother Zuo is denying it?"

Yue Buqun was not surprised. He smiled and said, "Then, shouldn't you admit to the matter of Senior Brother Zuo leading men to ambush the Imperial Guards in the capital a month ago?"

Everyone's expressions changed.

This matter has caused quite a stir in the community, but wasn't it Fei Bin who did it?

Is it...

Seeing that Zuo Lengchan was about to make excuses again, Yue Buqun interrupted, "I know, Senior Brother Zuo wants to say that this matter was done by Senior Brother Zuo's junior brother 'Great Songyang Hand' Fei Bin, and that Senior Brother Zuo has already taken action to clean up the sect and given an explanation to the court."

"But while we can believe these words, the imperial court may not."

"Since ancient times, the martial arts world and the imperial court have always been clearly separated and have not interfered with each other."

"Now that Senior Brother Zuo has killed a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard has personally led the guards here. Senior Brother Zuo should explain things to that commander first, so as not to implicate the other factions after the merger."

As Yue Buqun spoke, he bowed slightly toward a certain spot in the crowd and then retreated.

Following his gaze, everyone saw a tall, handsome young man slowly walk out from the crowd, look at Zuo Lengchan, and say indifferently, "Sect Leader Zuo, how have you been?"
