Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 122 Return to Mount Hua
Huashan.

The imperial edict of the Jiajing Emperor also greatly shocked all the disciples of the Huashan Sect.

None of the disciples expected that their sect leader, whom they hadn't seen for so long, had gone to destroy the Eastern Kingdom.

"I never imagined that Master hadn't returned to the mountain for so long, but it was all for the purpose of destroying Japan."

Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong was also stunned.

"Master's divine might is invincible. He wiped out the Japanese pirates who were harassing our Great Ming Dynasty. Such a feat is probably something no one will be able to do in the future!"

"That's right, that's right! Master is a true immortal of this world, unmatched by anyone!"

"It's a pity that Master didn't let us follow. Those Japanese pirates have been ravaging the coast of our Great Ming for a long time. I've wanted to kill them for a long time!"

Lu Dayou, Liang Fa, Lin Pingzhi and others were all thrilled and excited.

They all wished they could fight alongside Xu Qing.

Unfortunately, it's all over now.

"Master's wife and Grandmaster Uncle have kept this a secret for far too long."

Everyone only learned of this matter when the Jiajing Emperor issued an imperial edict granting amnesty to the entire country.

But they knew in their hearts that Ning Zhongze and Feng Qingyang must know about this.

However, neither of them has revealed a single detail in the past two years.

Many disciples have also asked Xu Qing why he hasn't returned to the mountain for so long.

All of these were blocked by Ning Zhongze on the grounds of spiritual practice.

But in reality, it was a major event like the destruction of a country.

In the courtyard.

Yue Lingshan rushed towards Ning Zhongze, who was practicing her swordplay, shouting, "Mother! Mother!"

Ning Zhongze's swordsmanship was exquisite, her cultivation was profound and pure, and her temperament was extraordinary, just like a female sword immortal.

Hearing his daughter's exclamation, he slowly sheathed his sword and stood still.

"Lingshan, you're so old already, why are you still so flustered? What kind of behavior is that?"

Ning Zhongze shook her head slightly and gently tapped Yue Lingshan's forehead.

"Mother, there are rumors everywhere that my father destroyed Japan and all the Japanese pirates are dead!"

Yue Lingshan pouted and said.

Ning Zhongze's heart trembled slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on her beautiful and mature face. She excitedly grabbed Yue Lingshan's hand and said:
"Is this true?"

"That's certainly true. The imperial edict, personally issued by the current emperor, has already spread throughout the land."

"Mother, you're really good at hiding things! My father hasn't come back for the past two years, and without saying a word, he's done something so big."

Yue Lingshan pouted in dissatisfaction. It was really too much to keep it from even her own daughter.

Ning Zhongze smiled and ignored Yue Lingshan's complaints.

"In that case, your father will be back soon."

Yue Lingshan nodded. She had missed her father terribly after not seeing him for two years.

Ning Zhongze's longing for Xu Qing was even more intense.

For the past two years, she has been thinking about Xu Qing day and night, and many times she has thought about going down the mountain and going to Japan.

But she finally endured it.

Two years passed, and her senior brother was finally coming back.

Ning Zhongze was filled with immense joy and anticipation, something she looked forward to almost every day.

Xu Qing did not keep Ning Zhongze and the other disciples waiting long. Not long after the imperial edict spread throughout the land, Xu Qing returned to the Central Plains by ship.

Subsequently, everything was handed over to Qi Jiguang to handle.

He then quickly headed towards Mount Hua.

Having not returned for over two years, he naturally missed it terribly.

Therefore, they traveled very quickly.

It only took a little over half a month to reach Mount Hua.

However, his return was not too flamboyant, but rather extremely low-key.

As they entered the gates of Mount Hua, the two disciples guarding the gates were extremely excited.

"No need to disturb them, everything remains the same." Xu Qing waved his hand slightly, indicating that the two disciples should not be too alarmed.

"Yes, Master!"

The two disciples forcibly suppressed their excitement and elation, watching Xu Qing enter the sect with eyes full of reverence.

Xu Qing did not pay attention to the cultivation progress of the disciples. As soon as he returned, he sensed Ning Zhongze's location. His figure was as fast as the wind and as swift as lightning, and he went straight to the courtyard.

"Junior sister, long time no see."

Xu Qing gazed at the stunningly beautiful woman in the courtyard, a smile playing on his lips, and softly called out her name.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Ning Zhongze could barely hold her sword. She turned around excitedly, saw Xu Qing, dropped her sword, and rushed towards him.

"Brother!"

Xu Qing opened his arms and embraced the beauty. The familiar fragrance made his heart soften even more.

At this moment, Ning Zhongze revealed all her longing, wanting only to hold Xu Qing tightly, to inhale Xu Qing's scent, her heart pounding uncontrollably.

She raised her head slightly, a thousand words swirling in her heart, but in the end she only uttered one sentence: "Senior brother, I miss you so much!"

This one sentence is enough to express a thousand words.

Xu Qing smiled: "Me too."

The two embraced and lingered for a long time before calming down.

Just then, a cough suddenly rang out: "Cough cough..."

Feng Qingyang appeared in the courtyard with a slightly awkward expression. As a powerful figure who had comprehended the unity of heaven and man, he was naturally able to sense Xu Qing's return.

Therefore, he immediately descended the Cliff of Repentance.

I just didn't expect to see the two of them embracing and whispering sweet nothings to each other.

This made him, a virgin, somewhat embarrassed.

Xu Qing was aware of Feng Qingyang's arrival, but he remained calm and showed little embarrassment.

Ning Zhongze blushed slightly and left Xu Qing's embrace.

She was shy and didn't have the guts to be so promiscuous in front of her elders.

Xu Qing looked at the energetic Feng Qingyang and smiled, "Uncle Feng, you've become even younger in the two years since we last met."

His gaze fell on Feng Qingyang. The old man was still dressed in a blue robe, but his beard and hair had returned to black, no longer as white as they used to be.

It is obvious that Feng Qingyang's martial arts skills have improved again in the past two years, and he has achieved the effect of rejuvenating.

At this moment, Feng Qingyang looked like he was only in his forties, and it was hard to imagine that he was an old man who was nearly a hundred years old.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyang revealed a smug look and laughed, "I've made some progress, but I'm still not as good as you, Yue boy."

Even so, Feng Qingyang was still quite satisfied with his own rate of progress.

With the completion of the Pure Yang Limitless Skill, the pure Yang true energy in his body became increasingly refined, and his physique and blood energy became robust. He had reached the stage where he could begin to temper his internal organs.

His current strength is even greater than that of Dongfang Bubai back then.

He's not much different from Xu Qing when he killed Dongfang Bubai back then.

Such a pace of progress is also very fast.

After all, the Huashan Sect has no shortage of top-tier martial arts and precious cultivation medicines.

Given Feng Qingyang's exceptional talent, such progress is to be expected.

However, to truly become a grandmaster...

Feng Qingyang still wasn't confident.

This requires a deep understanding of the power of heaven and earth, as well as a sufficient amount of spiritual inspiration from heaven and earth, to succeed.

Despite significant progress, we are still some distance from that crucial step.

This is the limitation of heaven and earth.

Becoming a powerful figure at the pinnacle of one's domain is naturally incredibly difficult.

Even those with exceptional talent need to spend a great deal of time immersing themselves in the subject and accumulating knowledge before they can possibly reach their limit.
