Arhats Subduing Demons: Starting with The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber

Linghu Chong thrust his sword three times in succession, but when he thrust out the second sword, he felt as if his sword had pierced through cotton wool, and his forward momentum was hindered. He then focused his arm, increased his internal strength, and thrust out the third sword.

Yu Canghai chuckled coldly, "Linghu Chong, your 'Taiyue Three Green Peaks' move is quite impressive."

All the masters knew that "Taiyue Three Green Peaks" was the masterpiece of "Gentleman Sword" Yue Buqun. It was said that the second sword was more powerful than the first, and the third sword was even more powerful than the second.

Yu Canghai spoke casually, but he took two steps back, gathered his internal martial arts power in his right hand, and slashed at the sword's edge.

With a whoosh, their palms and swords clashed. Linghu Chong's tiger's mouth trembled, and the tip of his sword deflected, narrowly missing Yu Canghai's body.

Yu Canghai swung his left palm and slashed at Linghu Chong's chest with tremendous force.

Linghu Chong was secretly alarmed: "This Taoist priest is much stronger than his good-for-nothing disciple. I am no match for him!" He nimbly moved to the left to dodge the attack, and with a follow-up move of "White Clouds Emerging from the Peak" with his longsword, he stabbed and slashed like dancing snowflakes and flying flowers to block the incoming attack.

This move was swift and agile, and the disciples of Mount Hua cheered in unison.

Yu Canghai's palm strike was fierce, but unexpectedly it missed its mark. The cheers from the Huashan disciples made him even more ashamed and angry. He had no such outstanding talent among his own disciples, and a mysterious master had also made a harsh statement to him. He was still unsure of what to do.

Thinking of this, Yu Canghai frowned, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes, and a venomous thought arose in his mind: "Linghu Chong, today I will make you die by my hand!" With a whoosh, he raised his palm and struck at Linghu Chong again.

"Yu Canghai!" Abbess Dingyi shouted, "You bully the weak, how shameless!" She had long been dissatisfied with Yu Canghai, but considering her status, she called out first and rushed over.

With a flick of his finger, he pointed at Yu Canghai's back.

Just like Yu Canghai's previous siege of Wei to rescue Zhao, Yu Canghai's change of tactics was also very swift. He turned around quickly, his five fingers like hooks, and was about to grab Dingyi's wrist.

Linghu Chong naturally knew Dingyi's identity. Seeing her make a move, he dared not attack Yu Canghai again, lest he give others a pretext to criticize him, and immediately took a few steps back.

Master Dingyi knew that the Qingcheng Sect Leader was a formidable martial artist, and that Linghu Chong was no match for him. Her intention was to lure Yu Canghai into attacking her in order to resolve the conflict.

Seeing Yu Canghai grab at him, he pulled his arm back and retreated about ten feet like a shooting star.

In that instant, Abbess Dingyi, Yu Canghai, and Linghu Chong dodged and weaved, displaying the skill of masters.

All the martial arts elders knew that the first two had been famous for many years and were top-notch masters of the time, but when they saw Linghu Chong, they realized that he was indeed remarkable for being able to save Yilin from the clutches of "Wanli Duxing" Tian Boguang.

Tianmen Daoist felt that this was far superior to his disciple Chi Baicheng, and probably even much stronger than his junior brother Tiansong.

With such a disciple, the "Gentleman Sword" is truly renowned throughout the martial arts world.

Yu Canghai, however, was filled with malice and anger. His face was frosty as he looked up at Master Dingyi and said, "Master, my nephew Linghu is a member of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. You all speak with one voice, but my disciple Luo Renjie is not necessarily your peer. Or is it that my Qingcheng Sect has been so humiliated by him, and this old Taoist should be as magnanimous as you?"

Why did Yu Canghai have to look up? It wasn't because he was polite, but because he was less than five feet tall, while Master Dingyi was extremely tall, taller than most men. So he had to look up.

Master Dingyi understood that Yu Canghai implied that she had also attacked Luo Renjie earlier, so "bullying the weak and shameless!" was also referring to herself.

She has a fiery temper; how could she possibly give up?
If the reason for what happened earlier was to resolve the fight, then that's not it!

Everyone saw that Abbess Dingyi's delicate eyebrows immediately rose, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at Yu Canghai.

Yu Canghai immediately focused his mind and became vigilant, circulating his energy throughout his body.

He actually knew that Abbess Dingyi was highly skilled in martial arts, and that he might not be able to gain the upper hand in a real fight. Moreover, Dingyi was not the only first-generation master of Mount Heng in the north; there were also two senior sisters: Dingxian and Dingjing. The three nuns were known as the "Three Dings of Mount Heng".

Leaving aside the eldest sister, Abbess Dingjing, even the sect leader, Abbess Dingxian, though easygoing, was renowned for her exceptional martial arts skills.

Even if she defeats Dingyi today, she cannot abandon her two senior sisters, as this could lead to endless troubles.

Yu Canghai had already suffered humiliation and mistreatment at Yun Changkong's hands, which was clearly seen by Abbess Dingyi.

Now, a hunchback is bossing him around and looking hostile. Before he can even deal with that, Linghu Chong, a junior from the Huashan Sect, comes along and tries to provoke him. He has to force Yue Buqun out!
If even Master Dingyi wants to interfere, how many steps have I already yielded? If I yield any more, the Qingcheng Sect will lose all face. What kind of sect leader am I then?
Master Dingyi also knew that Yu Canghai was a grandmaster of a sect and was known for being difficult to deal with. There was no benefit in confronting him directly. However, she was a renowned expert, and even the sect leader, Senior Sister Dingxian, usually gave her some leeway. How could she allow Yu Canghai to criticize her?
These two masters are facing the heroes of the world. If they were to back down, it would be a clear sign of inferiority. Both of them are concerned with the honor and disgrace of their respective sects and are unwilling to bear such a reputation.

Therefore, even if they do not want to fight, once the words are spoken and the situation is set, they have no choice but to fight.

These two are both top-tier figures in the contemporary martial arts world. Since they are going to fight, they are naturally very different from ordinary people. They will not attack fiercely as soon as they make a move, but will instead plan the way to win.

Seeing that the two stood motionless about ten feet apart, the crowd knew that a great battle was about to break out. Some of them were secretly gloating, hoping that the two would fight each other.

The alliance of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects has made them incredibly powerful in the martial arts world for decades, receiving widespread praise and acclaim. This has made many people unhappy, and naturally, they have also been the target of much slander.

Just like when Liu Zhengfeng retired from the martial arts world, everyone said that Master Mo was narrow-minded and could not tolerate his famous junior brother, which led to Master Mo saying, "You're talking nonsense!" and slicing through seven cups with a single sword.

In the martial arts world, Yue Buqun is said to be a hypocrite, and Master Dingyi is even more so, all because they resent the reputation of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, but dare not say it outright.

As for Yu Canghai, after destroying the Fuwei Escort Agency, he became even less popular. Therefore, regardless of who won or lost, both of them secretly felt a sense of schadenfreude, hoping that the two of them would fight as fiercely as possible, so that their trip would not have been in vain.

Of course, there were also righteous people among the heroes who wanted to dissuade her, but they all knew that Abbess Dingyi had a violent temper and they had no position or status to suppress her, so how could they dissuade her?

At this moment, the only person who could persuade them was the host, Liu Zhengfeng, but no one knew where he had gone.

Linghu Chong's purpose was simply to cause trouble. He didn't want to show himself, but he stepped forward because he saw Yu Canghai bullying "Hunchback" and didn't want others to suffer for him.

But seeing that Master Dingyi had been dragged into this, and knowing that a renowned master's reputation was hard-earned, he was deeply troubled if he lost to Yu Canghai. He wanted to step forward and intervene, but he knew that Master Dingyi was an equal to his master and mistress, and had a bad temper. Being presumptuous in front of her might backfire, so he didn't know what to do.

Suddenly a clear voice said, "Master, the Qingcheng School's 'Wild Geese Descending on the Sandbank' move with your buttocks facing backward is exquisitely crafted. Be careful!"

Yu Canghai, who was already poised to strike, was enraged upon hearing this. Without turning around, he used the sound to pinpoint the location and leaped forward to grab it.

Linghu Chong shouted, "You want to kill a child too?"

Enraged, Yu Canghai lunged forward, only then realizing that the speaker was a girl in a green dress. Before he could react, he felt a gust of wind rushing towards him.

As Yu Canghai shifted his body, Abbess Dingyi had already flashed out, her five fingers hooking towards Yu Canghai's shoulder.

Yu Canghai sensed the ominous wind and knew that this attack was swift and fierce, far more powerful than his previous strikes. He channeled his inner strength and used his arm to block backward.

This was the first true exchange between two top-tier masters. Their arms touched, and a muffled "boom" resounded, like a light thunderclap from dense clouds.

The two figures separated instantly.

Yu Canghai landed gently on the ground, swayed backward, and then stood firm. Master Dingyi also took two steps back.

Although it was just one move, everyone could see that the two were evenly matched, and no one could tell who was better.

Master Dingyi was secretly surprised: "This Taoist priest's skill is truly remarkable. No wonder he was so arrogant and fearless after wiping out the Fuwei Escort Agency. His skill has indeed greatly improved."

But it was only then that he realized just how powerful the nameless kid who could beat Yu Canghai into submission was!

Yu Canghai was also secretly shocked: "This old nun's internal strength is so strong! The experts of the Five Mountains Sword Sect are truly remarkable!"

Yu Canghai was an unparalleled martial arts prodigy of the Qingcheng Sect. Although he had not yet fully mastered the "Crane's Cry Nine Heavens Divine Skill," which had been unmatched in the sect for hundreds of years, he was still on the verge of success, lacking only a crucial opportunity. That was why he launched the battle against the Fuwei Escort Agency, hoping to seize the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual" to further enhance his martial arts skills.

If he could obtain a method that could suddenly make the ordinary "Evil-Repelling Sword Technique" incredibly fast and ghostly, he would truly be able to hold his head high.

Because his Qingcheng Sect was overshadowed by the Five Mountains Sword Sect, he was very unhappy. Therefore, his disciples did not respect the Five Mountains Sword Sect much and wanted to surpass it.

Just then, the little girl screamed "Mommy!" and burst into tears.

Without a doubt, the girl was Qu Feiyan.

Yu Canghai was originally a very shrewd and calculating man, but after being humiliated one after another today, he attacked her without thinking before he heard her insulting words.

Upon hearing Qu Feiyan's cry, Yu Canghai thought to himself, "Oh no! In front of everyone, as the head of Qingcheng Sect, fighting with a little girl would be a huge loss of face for me, especially in front of all the heroes of the world."
Qu Feiyan was cunning and deliberately wanted to embarrass the Qingcheng Sect. She cried louder and louder, cursing as she cried, "Oh my god, an adult is killing a child! The Qingcheng Sect Leader is killing a child! Waaah, waaah!"

The crowd saw that the girl was at most thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in a bright green dress. Upon closer inspection, she was not only beautiful, but her crying and cursing were also quite endearing. The assembled heroes couldn't help but feel sympathy for her, thinking, "Yu Canghai, you're too cruel! How could you hit such a young girl?"

Several of the boisterous and uncouth individuals had already started drinking.

"That Taoist priest is too ruthless!"

"Yes, with such force, if it weren't for Abbess Dingyi intervening, someone would have been killed!"

"Beat up that old Taoist priest!"

"Hit him! Hit him!"

When Yu Canghai saw this, he knew that he had angered everyone, so he didn't dare to talk back. He could only whisper to Qu Feiyan, "Don't cry, don't cry, little sister, I didn't mean to hit you."

Although Yu Canghai possessed superior martial arts skills and was the leader of a sect, having experienced countless dangers and storms, how could he dare to defy the world and point a finger at this innocent and carefree girl when hundreds of accusatory and contemptuous gazes were directed at him? Apart from pleading softly, he had no other good options.

Master Dingyi, who usually adored the beautiful young girl, immediately took Qu Feiyan's hand and said softly, "Good child, don't cry. Tell me where it hurts." She touched her wrist and realized that she hadn't been affected by the palm strike, so she was relieved.

Linghu Chong said loudly, "Little sister, if the esteemed Abbot Yu said he didn't intend to hit anyone, then he didn't intend to hit anyone. Don't cry!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan stopped crying.

Yu Canghai thought to himself, "This kid is sensible and knows what's good for him!"

Just then, Linghu Chong changed the subject: "Master Yu's palm strike was powerful enough to kill ten little sisters!"

Lin Pingzhi, standing in the crowd, shouted, "Bullying the weak, how shameless!"

Yu Canghai's face immediately turned purple with anger, like stir-fried pig liver, but he had no time to pay attention to it.

He only intended to grab Qu Feiyan and had no intention of attacking her. However, he had just exchanged blows with Abbess Dingyi, and everyone could clearly see the power he displayed.

However, he attacked the girl first, so he cannot be blamed for that. He simply said, "Linghu Chong, my actions are merely to tell everyone that although our disciples were defeated by you, it does not mean that the Qingcheng Sect is inferior to your Huashan Sect!"

Linghu Chong smiled calmly: "Our Huashan Sect dares not compare itself to a tortoise!" Yu Canghai was furious, but everyone burst into laughter.

Some people spat out their tea, while others laughed so hard they bent over.

Qu Feiyan stopped crying. She was just jealous of the Qingcheng Sect and wanted to compete with them. She pointed at Yu Canghai's vest and giggled.

Everyone thought that the girl's crying and then laughing was something a seven or eight-year-old child would do, but this girl looked to be thirteen years old and quite tall. Her behavior towards Yu Canghai was clearly instigated by someone.

Yu Canghai, unaware of what was happening, found it quite intriguing and wondered, "What are you all laughing about?"

The Qingcheng Sect disciples were so angry that they were about to be enraged. Yu Renhao came up behind Yu Canghai and reached out his hand.

With a ripping sound, she tore off a piece of paper from behind her back, not daring to let Yu Canghai see it, and crumpled it into a ball.

Before Yu Canghai could do anything and why the others were laughing, he snatched the drawing from Yu Renhao's hand.

When I unfolded it, I was suddenly stunned, and then I was furious!
There was a blank sheet of paper with a large turtle drawn on it.

That is, a turtle.

The paper was clearly stuck to his back by someone earlier. Such jokes are commonplace among children, nothing unusual at all. But for Yu Canghai to be involved was truly unthinkable!
Given Yu Canghai's reputation and status in the martial arts world, being made a joke like this would be even more humiliating than being defeated by someone if word got out.

The assembled heroes were all focused on the atmosphere and no one noticed who or when had put that bastard label on Yu Canghai.

Many people couldn't help but burst into laughter as they looked at Yu Canghai's old face, which was filled with a dark aura.

Yu Canghai was feeling ashamed and indignant, but then he thought, "This isn't right. This turtle was drawn long ago. It's impossible for anyone to tamper with my vest. It must have been this little brat who cried and screamed and took advantage of my panic to stick to my back. It seems that an adult must have been secretly instructing her."

His triangular eyes widened as he saw the commotion. Tianmen Daoist, He Sanqi, and others were all there, but Liu Zhengfeng was nowhere to be seen. He couldn't help but think, "Hey, could it be that the girl's attempt to embarrass me was instigated by Liu Zhengfeng? I didn't realize that Liu Zhengfeng was also secretly plotting against me! It seems that the Five Mountains Sword Sect has gone against my Qingcheng Sect. I'd better be very, very careful!"

Thinking of this, Yu Canghai chuckled coldly twice and said, "A true man is upright and honorable. Since you want to make things difficult for this old Taoist, why not be generous and just order a child to do some pointless things? What kind of hero are you? What kind of good man are you?"

Despite his short stature, Yu Canghai's words, delivered with such force from his diaphragm, were deafening, leaving everyone in the hall with ringing ears.

Everyone was now filled with respect, their previous dismissive and jesting attitude completely gone. They thought to themselves, "Even if Yu Canghai is no better than the Qingcheng Sect Leader, we shouldn't be so happy! If someone remembers us, it could lead to endless trouble!"

At this thought, all was silent. Linghu Chong laughed and said, "Little sister, do you think Abbot Yu is easy to mess with? Once you leave the Liu residence, you'll be in for a lot of trouble!"

Qu Feiyan stuck out her tongue and said, "Then I'll just have to stay in the Liu residence forever!" Her childish manner made everyone laugh out loud again. But in their hearts, they couldn't help but think to themselves, the old saying is really true. As the saying goes, the new waves of the Yangtze River push the old waves forward. Who would have thought that such a few young people would dare to provoke Yu Canghai, the leader of Qingcheng Sect.

Yu Canghai ignored the younger generation and said loudly, "Daoist Tianmen, this is Liu Sanye's house. His master is hiding. You are the head of the Taishan Sect. Are you just going to let this go?"

The heroes were all thinking, "Yes, where is this Liu Zhengfeng?"
Such a big thing happened, and you, the owner, weren't even here.

At this moment, Liu Zhengfeng's disciple said to Da Nian, "Seniors, my master has some trivial matters to attend to and will be there shortly."

Yu Canghai snorted and sat down to the side.

Seeing Yu Canghai's embarrassed expression, Abbess Dingyi chuckled inwardly. She thought to herself that the Qingcheng Sect had already made a fool of themselves enough, and there was no point in getting entangled with them any further. She turned around and called out, "Yilin, we don't know where this little girl's parents have gone. Why don't you go with her to look for them, so that she won't be left unattended and get bullied?"

Yilin clasped her hands together and replied, "Yes!" She then took Qu Feiyan's hand and they walked out of the hall together.

Yu Canghai sneered, his gaze shifting between Linghu Chong and the hunchback, utterly perplexed. Why were so many young people making things difficult for him? Was this girl also from the Huashan Sect? Hmm, Liu Zhengfeng should be meeting with Yue Buqun by now!
To find out where Liu Zhengfeng is, we have to start from the beginning.

……

As Yu Canghai walked from the flower hall to the main hall, Liu Zhengfeng was about to follow when he suddenly heard a whoosh as he turned the corner. A white light flashed in the darkness, and with a flick of his sleeve, he caught it. It was a crumpled piece of paper with the words "Brother, see you at the usual place" written on it.

Upon seeing that it was Qu Yang's handwriting, he immediately went to tell his apprentice, Xiang Danian, a few words, and then went to the place where he often met with Qu Yang in secret.

When Liu Zhengfeng arrived at the inner room, he saw a dark figure standing in front of the door. He said, "Brother Liu, I apologize for making you leave the guests in the hall. I have something important to discuss with you."

Upon hearing Qu Yang's voice, Liu Zhengfeng frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled, and whispered, "Brother Qu, is it about the sect?"

Qu Yang looked worried and said, "Brother Liu, we both think the conflict between the righteous and the underworld is pointless and there's nothing to say about it. But today's matter concerns the lives of your whole family, so we have to talk about it!"

Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang were acquainted through playing the qin and xiao, but rarely discussed matters of sects. Upon hearing this, he quickly led Qu Yang into the inner room.

Before Qu Yang could even sit down, he asked Liu Zhengfeng, "Did you invite the Songshan Sect when you retired from the martial arts world?"

Liu Zhengfeng said, "I sent an invitation to the Left Alliance Leader a long time ago, and also sent someone to deliver a letter from Songshan to inform him of this matter."

Qu Yang asked, "What did he say?"

Liu Zhengfeng shook his head: "No response. He neither agreed nor stopped me. However, my retirement from martial arts and my seclusion are private matters. They have not violated the rules and regulations of the martial arts world, nor have they been related to the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Whether he agrees or not is none of my concern!"

Qu Yang said with a wry smile, "That may be true, but if the Songshan Sect already knows about our friendship..."

Liu Zhengfeng was taken aback: "How did the Songshan Sect know? Could it be that my senior brother saw through the clues and told the Songshan Sect?"

Qu Yang frowned deeply: "Whether it's your senior brother or not, I don't know. I only heard about this from others, but you and I both know that the righteous and evil factions are like fire and water. Zuo Lengchan is also very ambitious. If he uses this to attack you, the consequences are unpredictable. I'd rather believe it's true than not!"

Liu Zhengfeng muttered, "That's impossible. I haven't seen my senior brother in a long time. Could he be spying on me? No way!"

After calming himself down, he said, "But if this is true, and given my discord with Senior Brother Mo, it could be a very serious matter. But where did you hear this news from?"

Qu Yang glanced at him and said, "Who is the most prominent figure in Hengshan City right now?"

Liu Zhengfeng frowned and said, "Are you talking about that mysterious, nameless man who saved the little nun from Hengshan, crippled Tian Boguang, killed two of Yu Canghai's disciples in front of him, and threatened him to hand over the Lin family's Evil-Repelling Sword Manual?"

Qu Yang shook his head and said, "He is not nameless. He has a name, but he just doesn't want to tell people like Tian Boguang and Yu Canghai."

Liu Zhengfeng asked in surprise, "Brother, do you recognize him?"

Qu Yang shook his head and said, "I met him by chance."

Liu Zhengfeng was startled: "If that's the case, why would he risk the world's condemnation to tell us this? Could it be that he wants something from my elder brother?"

Qu Yang remained silent for a while before saying, "This young man is an extraordinary person. I can't guess what he's thinking, but this news is always good. Let's discuss it and make preparations in advance. If this really happens, we won't be caught off guard!"

Liu Zhengfeng nodded and said, "I am already deeply grateful that Brother Qu came to deliver the news. You should leave quietly now, why get involved in this mess?"

Qu Yang raised an eyebrow and laughed, "You are my only true friend in life. When we became friends, I knew that great misfortune would follow us. Do you think I would just run away when I learned that you were in trouble, and not have the courage to go to the gates of hell with you?"

Liu Zhengfeng was moved, but remained calm and smiled, saying, "Brother Qu, you may not know this, but I had long anticipated this day. Therefore, I bought a military officer position from the court through the governor. This has greatly damaged my reputation. I think my senior brother, the Left Alliance Leader, would not stoop to bother with a lackey like me!"

Qu Yang's eyes flashed slightly as he said, "Your senior brother is a fellow disciple of yours, so he might not be so selfish, but the Songshan Sect might be different! If Zuo Lengchan really has some conspiracy and wants to take this opportunity to make trouble, your status as a court adjutant will not be enough to deter him. I have a foolproof plan!"

Liu Zhengfeng frowned slightly: "Please give me some pointers, elder brother."

Qu Yang lowered his voice: "Heroes from all over the world are gathered here. You are also a renowned master with a wide circle of friends. No matter how domineering the Songshan Sect is, they will not dare to kill someone without cause. When they ask you whether you and I are acquainted, just say you don't know each other. Even if there is any evidence, just deny it!"

Liu Zhengfeng slowly stood up and said, "Brother Qu, if I, Liu Zhengfeng, were the kind of coward who would abandon you for my own life and safety, would we still be friends through music?"

Qu Yang sighed deeply: "I know you won't!"

Liu Zhengfeng's eyes shone brightly as he laughed and said, "What is meant to be will be! I am grateful to have Brother Qu as a confidant. Even if I were to die here, I would have no regrets!"

Qu Yang laughed heartily, his spirit soaring, and said, "To have a true friend in life is the greatest fortune. I am already seventy years old, and to have been able to create this song, 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer,' with you is enough to make me die without regret!"

It is known that a master of martial arts can deeply understand others through their skills, just as a literary person can discern a person's character from their writing. Even on a first meeting, a shared appreciation of a single poem can lead to an instant connection, and they can often exchange ideas through literature.

As for Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang's skills in playing the qin and xiao, no one in the world would discuss them with a third party, let alone the fact that they could work together. If the two were not compatible, they could never be perfect.

Therefore, knowing one's own character allows one to know the other's character. If the other person is not as virtuous and noble as oneself, how could one feel at first sight that it is worth entrusting one's life to them, let alone being an ally of the righteous and the demonic!
In fact, when things reach their peak, the principles are the same. This was evident when Zhang Wuji met Yun Changkong; a single palm strike was enough to discern the other's character.

It is only because of such a person's character that one could never reach this level through the cultivation of such righteous arts.

The two laughed heartily for a while, then Qu Yang sighed and said, "But Brother Liu, we are not afraid of life and death, but I have Fei Fei, and you have a wife, children, and disciples!"

Liu Zhengfeng was taken aback and said, "I find it hard to believe that the Songshan Sect would exterminate them all?"

Qu Yang said, "Are you going to gamble on their mercy? What Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sect did to the Fuwei Escort Agency, did he have the slightest bit of the demeanor of a righteous sect? Yu Canghai is on good terms with Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan Sect. It's probably not an exaggeration to say that they are birds of a feather."

Liu Zhengfeng was stunned.

He had heard that Yu Canghai had destroyed the Fuwei Escort Agency, killing all the escorts and porters.

Qu Yang pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Brother Wuming, what do you think?"

Liu Zhengfeng was completely taken aback by his words and asked with a puzzled look, "Wuming? Is he outside?"

As a top-tier expert of his time, his hearing was incredibly sharp. Naturally, he was extremely cautious when meeting Qu Yang!
Who would have thought that someone was eavesdropping without him noticing?

Just then, someone outside the door laughed and said, "As the saying goes, 'Only in the cold of winter do we know the pine and cypress, and only in times of trouble do we know a true friend.' The two of you are truly admirable for your friendship and sincerity!"

As he spoke, the door swung open, and a figure stood in the doorway.

Liu Zhengfeng took a closer look and saw that the man in blue was handsome and dashing, with gentle eyes, but his gaze held a fierce and intimidating quality.

Liu Zhengfeng, a renowned musician and master of internal martial arts, felt a chill run down his spine as this man seemed to be emanating an immense killing intent. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Honorable guest, I apologize for not welcoming you properly!"

Yun Changkong, beaming, walked up to Liu Zhengfeng and said with a smile, "No, no, your whole family is about to be wiped out, how could I have the leisure to argue about anything!" (End of Chapter)
