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

Upon hearing Liu Zhengfeng's words, Ding Mian retorted sharply, "What right do you, a demonic disciple, have to speak?"

Yun Changkong's expression darkened, and his eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

Lu Bai smiled sadly and said slowly, "Liu Zhengfeng, you won. Are you very proud of yourself?"

Liu Zhengfeng shook his head and said, "I am not proud, nor have I won."

Lu Bai sneered, "Our Songshan Sect has suffered a defeat today, but it's not because we lost to you. Do you understand that?"

Liu Zhengfeng sighed and said, "Your Songshan Sect certainly didn't lose to me; it's just that your martial arts are no match for the Nameless Hero. But am I, Liu Zhengfeng, also a weaker opponent in the face of your Songshan Sect? Aren't you also relentlessly pressuring me?"

Ding Mian snorted coldly.

Liu Zhengfeng clasped his hands and said, "Fellow disciples of the Songshan Sect, I, Liu Zhengfeng, swear to the heavens today that I will take my family and disciples and flee overseas. As long as I live, I will never set foot on an inch of the Central Plains. Let's leave it at that. Is that not enough?"
Everyone was baffled by this situation. Yun Changkong was suppressing the entire scene at this moment. If you say this, wouldn't it be like bowing down and admitting defeat to the Songshan Sect?

Liu Zhengfeng's gaze swept across the entire room as he said, "Brother Qu Yang and I are determined to retire from the martial world and live a secluded life in the countryside. This isn't just about indulging in music and escaping responsibility. We've also discussed sectarian disputes, always believing they're pointless feuds!"

It's not worth taking so many lives. Will this kind of vendetta ever end?

Are they really all demons? Are we, the heroes of the righteous path, truly so innocent and pure?
Unfortunately, Leader Zuo refused, and things have come to this point. I, Liu, want to uphold my friendship and protect my family and disciples. However, seeing my fellow disciples from the Songshan Sect suffering here, I cannot bear it. I implore you all, I beg you to allow me, Liu Zhengfeng, to end this matter by not returning to the Central Plains. Is that acceptable?

Master Dingyi was a person who was tough on the outside but kind on the inside. Although she had a fiery temper, she was extremely kind-hearted. She put her hands together, said "Amitabha," and said, "Since Brother Liu has gone overseas and there is no one left in the world, and several of my fellow disciples from the Songshan Sect have also been injured, it is best to end things here. There is really no need to hurt anyone else!"

Upon hearing this, Tianmen Daoist nodded and said, "That's good!" He then turned to look at Yue Buqun and asked, "Brother Yue, what do you think?"

Yue Buqun said, "That would be best. Today was supposed to be Brother Liu's wedding day, but instead, bloodshed has occurred. When will this cycle of revenge end? Everyone, let's not resort to violence again and have a drink to reconcile!"

The assembled heroes could understand a few of them; after all, they were allied members of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, and this was a matter of principle. It would be too shameful to stand by and watch the Songshan Sect be slaughtered by Yun Changkong.

If we're talking about making an enemy of Yun Changkong, let alone the people from the Five Mountains Sword Sect, even if all the thousand or so people present rushed at him, with Yun Changkong's incredible lightness skill, who could possibly catch him?

If he gets away, he will be an endless threat to anyone or any sect. So, to deal with this kind of person, you either have to treat him well or kill him with one blow!

Never offend them lightly!
Ding Mian was about to speak when he heard Lu Bai lower his head and sigh, saying dejectedly, "Forget it, since the Huashan Sect, Taishan Sect, and Hengshan Sect all say so, what can we say?"

"The matter of Liu Zhengfeng is settled here. Who told us we were inferior in skill? It's said in the martial arts world that our Five Mountains Sword Sect's martial arts are weaker, and that we were held hostage, so we had no choice but to admit defeat. That's the only way."

Upon hearing this, everyone thought, "That's right. After today, the Songshan Sect will certainly lose face, and the Taishan Sect, Huashan Sect, and the other three sects will also be disgraced!"

But some people thought, "Lu Bai has ill intentions!"

Yun Changkong's gaze swept over the crowd, and he saw that each person's face was either extremely surprised or silent and saddened, with all sorts of different expressions.

Yun Changkong suddenly burst into laughter, but halfway through, his face darkened and he said coldly, "Lu Laosan, even at this point, you still want to incite the Five Mountains Sword Sect to attack me? You're quite something!"

Lu Bai exhaled and slowly said, "I don't care what kind of martial arts you used. From today onwards, you will face thorns at every turn. What do you have to be proud of? Do you think we are all cowards who fear death?"

Yun Changkong sneered, "All Songshan Sect disciples, listen carefully! If you want to live, you must tell us everything about Zuo Lengchan's conspiracy."

The ordinary disciples stepped forward and pointed out the faults of Ding Mian, Lu Bai, and Fei Bin, such as their behavior that violated the code of chivalry, saying that they deserved to die and that they could leave!

Otherwise, none of you will be able to return to Mount Song. Even if Zuo Lengchan himself came, he couldn't protect you!

Upon hearing this, everyone was instantly horrified and moved.

Let the younger generation of martial arts expose the crimes of their elders.
Master Dingyi said, "You've gone too far."

Yue Buqun sighed, "Although your cultivation is high, you are so cruel and bloodthirsty that you are not worthy of respect."

Yun Changkong's longsword trembled, and he said coldly, "I've never sought admiration, only fear. Heh, why do you think I'm here? Is it because Liu Zhengfeng has so much influence that he can persuade me to come out of seclusion?"

Yue Buqun said, "I would like to hear the details!"

Yun Changkong looked at Liu Zhengfeng: "Do you think the Songshan Sect is bluffing you by arresting your family?"

He wanted to kill him and destroy his spirit!
"If it weren't for me, they would have made your family kowtow and beg for mercy, saying you deserved to be killed. If they didn't comply, they would have gouged out your eyes and cut out your tongue. How would you have felt?"

Liu Zhengfeng and the others were increasingly shocked as they listened. The Songshan Sect members turned ashen-faced, and everyone frowned as they stared at the Songshan Sect members. Were they really that ruthless?

Master Dingyi raised her voice and said, "How could the Songshan Sect be so vicious? And how do you know this?"

Liu Zhengfeng sighed, "If the nameless hero didn't know, why would he have come here? He knew about the Songshan Sect's conspiracy long ago and told me in advance, but I didn't believe him. I never expected... alas!"

Upon hearing this, the Songshan Sect finally understood why their actions had all been predicted by others!
Master Dingyi exclaimed in surprise, "So you came here because you heard about the Songshan Sect's plot!"

Yun Changkong sighed, "Yes, I learned of the Songshan Sect's conspiracy and was afraid of causing a catastrophe in the martial arts world, so I had no choice but to do this!"

Ding Mian shouted, "Everyone, don't listen to his nonsense!"

"I'm talking nonsense?" Yun Changkong sneered, "Your Songshan Sect claims to be a prestigious and righteous sect, upholding the integrity of the martial arts world. Yet, for the sake of merging sects, you've planted spies in various sects. And it's not just Lu Zhengrong! Do you expect me to find all the spies from the Huashan and Taishan Sects?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

The Taishan School values ​​its fellow disciples, and the Huashan School does the same.

Yun Changkong continued, "Those of the Five Mountains Sword Sects who obey your orders, then win them over; those who do not, then do everything in your power to kill them!"

You call yourselves the Way of Chivalry? What is 'chivalry' anyway!
The saying goes, "The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people." If you can't live up to that, that's understandable. However, those who are utterly wicked and prey on the people deserve to be killed!

But what about you? You've been keeping those wicked gangsters around for your own use, eliminating dissidents!

Even if Liu Zhengfeng colluded with the Demonic Sect, it's one thing if you want to kill him, but you can't even manage to spare innocent women and children. You want to exterminate the entire Liu family, and then force Liu Zhengfeng's favorite youngest son to say he deserves to die?

They're worse than animals!
You are even more wicked than the Mongol Tartars of yesteryear!

"I'll tell you the truth: do as I say today, and I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, none of you Songshan Sect disciples will escape. No amount of pleading will help!"

The three bodyguards of the Songshan Sect were completely stunned. They had no choice but to believe that Yun Changkong had indeed discovered their sect's secrets, and there was no point in denying it anymore.

Yun Changkong pointed his longsword and said, "Hey you, the one holding the Five Sacred Mountains Command Flag, come here!"

This man, named Stendhal, also known as "Ten Thousand-Foot Pine," was deathly pale and dared not take a step forward.

Yun Changkong sneered, "Tell me about the Songshan Sect's conspiracy, drop down the command flag, and you can leave!"

Ding Mian turned and glanced at Stendhal: "Are you afraid of dying?"

Stendhal immediately cursed, "You devil..."

Yun Changkong raised his right hand, and a sword light flashed. With a soft thud, Shi Dengda was cleaved diagonally from the shoulder to the waist by the sword. Blood splattered all over the ground, and the Five Mountains Command Flag in his hand fell to the ground, the gems making a tinkling sound.

Everyone was horrified; such a brutal method of murder was truly rare. Yet, no one dared to intervene!

Yun Changkong smiled warmly and slowly raised his sword, pointing it at a Songshan Sect disciple: "What's your name?"

However, at this moment and in this place, his smile made everyone uneasy, because they had never seen the terrifying killing intent emanating from Yun Changkong's phoenix eyes before.

The saying goes, "One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand soldiers." Generals are said to have an aura of menace, but they are just giving orders and having their subordinates carry them out.

Who has killed more people with Yun Changkong's own hands?
In one battle, he personally killed a thousand people; compared to him, they were nothing but kind-hearted little rabbits.

The disciple from Mount Song's heart pounded, sweat poured down his face, and he couldn't help but say, "My name is Di Xiu!"

Yun Changkong coldly said, "You people from the Songshan Sect have committed so many evil deeds, shouldn't you be killed?"

Everyone could see the fine beads of sweat on Di Xiu's forehead.

Di Xiu knew that no matter what answer he gave, he would die!

If he said he shouldn't have been killed, Yun Changkong would have severed his head and body with a single stroke of his sword. If he said he should have been killed, he would have become a traitor, despised by everyone, and even his master, Zuo Lengchan, would have killed him, perhaps bringing disaster upon his entire family.

Just as they were in a dilemma, Lu Bai shouted, "Enough! I'll talk!"

Di Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Changkong sneered, "You won't listen to a toast, so you'll have to drink a penalty cup!" He flicked his two fingers lightly, and with a soft hiss, a small hole appeared in Di Xiu's chest, blood flowed out, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Everyone was shocked: "What kind of finger power is that?"

Abbess Dingyi couldn't bear to watch any longer and immediately stepped forward, but Liu Zhengfeng stopped her, shaking his head and saying, "Abbess, you can't go."

Abbess Dingyi angrily asked, "What are you doing?"

Liu Zhengfeng sighed, "You should know that I am not qualified to invite him to the ceremony to wash his hands of his past life."

Master Dingyi was taken aback, then realized that this person, using the pseudonym "Nameless," had come specifically for the Songshan Sect.

Ding Mian cursed, "If you're so capable, then kill us all!"

Yun Changkong waved his left hand and said, "I don't have time to deal with you right now. Just you wait!"

He walked unhurriedly toward Lu Bai: "Speak, I'm listening. As long as you obediently tell me about Zuo Lengchan's conspiracy, I can let bygones be bygones. But if even a single word is untrue, I'll cut off your arm first."

In the original storyline, the Songshan Sect forced Liu Zhengfeng to agree to kill Qu Yang. When Liu Zhengfeng refused, the Songshan Sect made Liu Zhengfeng's disciples betray him. The disciples Xiang Danian and Mi Weiyi refused to betray their master even unto death.

Ding Mian killed them. Liu Zhengfeng captured Fei Bin and begged the Songshan Sect for mercy, hoping to save his family and the rest of his disciples. Master Dingyi, Daoist Tianmen, and Yue Buqun also pleaded for mercy, but the Songshan Sect was still relentless, killing one and questioning another until they had wiped out Liu Zhengfeng's entire family.

If we're talking about two massacres in *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*, Yu Canghai's destruction of the Fuwei Escort Agency had a somewhat shady element to it. But the Songshan Sect's attack was completely open and aboveboard, turning the Liu residence into an execution ground with utter arrogance. Yun Changkong's blood boils whenever he recalls this scene. His current move as "Nameless" is a clear indication of his determination to emulate the Songshan Sect.

Not to kill, but to destroy their spirit!

Lu Bai's eyes bulged out, and streaks of blood flowed down his eye sockets, revealing a desolate smile.

Everyone knows this is no easy feat; one would never have such an expression unless they were extremely grief-stricken and indignant.

Lu Bai slowly raised his head and said, "Our Five Mountains Sword Sects are of one mind and are originally inseparable. However, in today's martial arts world, Shaolin and Wudang are the most respected, but they ignore the Demonic Sect, which has allowed the Demonic Sect to grow stronger and become extremely arrogant."

The Left Alliance Leader said, "We martial artists should eliminate demons and evil spirits. However, although our Five Mountains Sword Sect is becoming increasingly prosperous, we are scattered in different places, with inconsistent commands, like piles of sand."
As the saying goes, unity brings strength, division brings weakness. If our Five Mountains Sword Sects could unite as one, the Demonic Sect would be no match for us, and even Shaolin and Wudang would be far inferior in power.

As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sects around him immediately booed.
Tianmen Daoist, the most opposed to the merger of the Five Mountains Sects, blew his beard and shouted, "Fortunately, the nameless hero saw through your wolfish ambitions. Humph, I didn't see it. Who is the traitor of our Mount Tai Sect?"

Liu Zhengfeng shook his head, and Yue Buqun also sighed.

Master Dingyi chuckled coldly, "No wonder a master like Master Zuo would interfere in Brother Liu's retirement at such a opportune moment. He truly has grand ambitions!" It should be known that the Five Mountains Sword Sect Alliance only cooperates in times of great importance; there is no rule that all sect affairs should be reported to Master Zuo. Therefore, Liu Zhengfeng's retirement from the martial world is none of the Songshan Sect's business, let alone the fact that it happened just as he was about to reach into the golden basin.

Ding Mian's forehead veins bulged as he cursed, "My Songshan Sect intends to merge with other sects. Shouldn't those treacherous members of the Demonic Sect be killed?"

His eyes suddenly sharpened as he swept over the crowd: "It is because of people like you that evil people run rampant in the world. Even if my Songshan Sect wants to kill Liu Zhengfeng's entire family, it is to make an example of them and warn others! So that the Five Mountains Sword Sects can work together to destroy the evil sect. What's wrong with that?"

Yun Changkong sneered, "You think you can fool others with your faces, but can you fool me? You clearly want to drive Liu Zhengfeng to the brink, to expose the ugly side of their entire family, to kill them and destroy their spirit. It is indeed a case of killing one to warn a hundred, but it is also a case of killing the chicken to warn the monkey. Liu Zhengfeng's whole family are chickens, and the Huashan Sect and the Taishan Sect are monkeys!"

There was one more thing he didn't say: that the Songshan Sect hadn't expected Liu Zhengfeng to remain unyielding even in death.

Yun Changkong paused, then his voice suddenly rose, carrying an arrogant air of looking down on the world, and said: "Most of you self-proclaimed chivalrous people are no different from the Demonic Sect in my eyes!"
The Qingcheng Sect wiped out the Fuwei Escort Agency, sparing not even the cooks and porters. Their actions were so wicked, and not one of you has uttered a single word in defense of the Fuwei Escort Agency! Especially you, the Songshan Sect, waving a tattered flag, claiming to uphold justice in the martial arts world—how utterly shameless!

As he spoke, he pointed his longsword at the Songshan Sect disciples lying in pools of blood and said, "Wasn't killing them evil enough for me? But what about you?"

Aside from Abbess Dingyi, who else would dare to stop me? Who would dare to step forward?
not a single one!

why?
Because you are all afraid of provoking me, which would bring you death! Similarly, even without me today, the Songshan Sect slaughtered the entire Liu family, and no one came out to stop it. Why? Because you were all just trying to protect yourselves.

With your character, where is the chivalry? Where is the righteousness? It's no exaggeration to say that you call yourselves unworthy of the title of chivalrous!
"And all that talk about chivalry and justice, what a load of crap! I'm a monster, but I'm way more chivalrous than you guys!"

Yun Changkong's words were forceful and dismissive, showing no regard for the assembled heroes and displaying an extremely arrogant attitude. Many people were so enraged that they placed their hands on their weapons, but then they remembered that Yun Changkong, alone, moved freely within the Songshan Sect and was unmatched by anyone.

Even if they managed to kill Yun Changkong by virtue of their superior numbers, they would lose all face, and besides, they might not even be able to kill him!

Amidst their anger, the crowd felt even more humiliated, and many unconsciously lowered their hands in response.

Linghu Chong stared at Yun Changkong, thinking, "This man has a gentle face, but he is ruthless and vicious. He is truly wicked." But then he thought, "He speaks out about injustices and acts on them without hesitation. He is upright and honest, which I cannot match!"

At this moment, Abbess Dingyi suddenly waved her hand and said, "Let's go!" Without touching the ground, she floated away. The Hengshan disciples all followed suit.

They were Buddhists who practiced vegetarianism and chanted Buddhist scriptures. They were not afraid to kill people, and in their daily lives, they were so careful that they would "sweep the floor for fear of harming the lives of ants and protect the moths by covering the lamps with gauze." Seeing that Yun Changkong was clearly about to start a massacre, they naturally could not stand by and watch.

Liu Zhengfeng bowed deeply to Yun Changkong and said, "On behalf of my entire family, Liu Zhengfeng thanks the great hero for his life-saving grace."

Yun Changkong said slowly, "What talk of a life-saving grace is more like a predestined fate than a kindness. You don't need to care about it."

Liu Zhengfeng said, "I wouldn't dare!"

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "As the saying goes, the Buddhist gate is vast, and only those with affinity are saved. I have my eye on your family property. Whether it is your family or your belongings, everything is mine. Is that alright?"

"Fine!" Ding Mian glared at Yun Changkong: "You scoundrel, you're the one who's after Liu Zhengfeng's whole family!"

Yun Changkong smiled and said, "Of course, is there any free lunch in this world?" He then raised his voice and said, "From now on, anyone who dares to touch a single blade of grass or tree of the Liu family is not only going against me, but also against the Songshan Sect and the Five Mountains Sword Sect!"

The crowd was taken aback at first, but some of the smarter people understood his implication: if the Liu family got into trouble, he would settle accounts with the Songshan Sect, which is also known as the Five Mountains Sect!

So, if anyone wants to harm the Five Mountains Sect, they can also target the Liu family. Would the Five Mountains Sect hate you?

This is a naked conspiracy!

Yun Changkong's gaze fell on Ding Mian. With a flick of his sleeve, a surge of mellow and peaceful internal energy instantly released Ding Mian's acupoints. He said, "Ding Lao Er, I'll let you and your fellow disciples go today. Go back and tell Zuo Lengchan that I know all about the underworld figures under his command. If they dare to cause trouble again, I'll personally go to Mount Song to take their lives. Get lost!"

Ding Mian looked into Yun Changkong's deep, dark eyes, then at his two blind junior brothers, and then at the corpses of his fellow disciples. His heart ached as if it were being torn apart.

But we also know that this twenty-year-old has unfathomable skill. As long as he lives, or until we find a way to resist his martial arts, everything will be in vain!
Today's campaign has gone awry; it is truly a matter of timing and fate. Alas, what more can be said?

Ding barely suppressed his resentment and anger, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "The green hills remain unchanged, and the clear waters flow forever!"

He helped Lu Bai and Fei Bin up: "Let's go!"

Fei Bin said coldly, "If you spare my life today, you'd better take care of yourself. One day, I, Fei Bin, will repay your great kindness and generosity in the end!"

He said it was to repay a debt of gratitude, but his voice was as deep as iron soaked in frost.

Yun Changkong suddenly sighed, "Old Fei, do you really not want to live anymore?"

As he spoke, he gently patted the hilt of the longsword with his palm.

With a whoosh, the longsword, like a bolt of lightning or a white rainbow, shot straight at Fei Bin's back.

Fei Bin, Ding Mian, and Lu Bai heard the strong wind behind them and tried to dodge.

With a "whoosh," the longsword pierced through Fei Bin's body. Its force had not diminished and it continued to shoot forward, carrying Fei Bin forward. With a "clang," the longsword pierced straight into the gatepost.

Fei Bin was pinned to the wall, with only the sword hilt at his back, which trembled violently.

Even though everyone had already witnessed Yun Changkong's divine skills, seeing this lightning-fast sword strike again still caused their expressions to change drastically, their eyes to dazzle and their spirits to waver. They were filled with envy, admiration, and fear, all thinking, "Who can withstand his thunderous blow?"

If it weren't for the fact that the deceased was innocent, everyone would have cheered. Of course, some people were trembling with fear, such as the disciples of the Songshan Sect, who were afraid they wouldn't be able to return to Songshan.

Yun Changkong surveyed the surroundings with a fierce gaze, his cold, lightning-like eyes landing on the faces of the Songshan Sect disciples. He snorted coldly and said, "It would only take a wave of my hand to wipe you all out!"

"It's only because Heaven cherishes life that I don't want to be ruthless; but if you insist on seeking death, I, Yun Changkong, will certainly grant your wish."

Yun Changkong was already furious about Fei Bin's killing of Qu Feiyan, and now that he heard that Fei Bin was still so reckless and was making threats, how could he not send him on his way?

Upon hearing the last sentence, many people breathed a sigh of relief and were overjoyed. They thought to themselves that even if this person was young and successful and had mastered divine skills, once they knew his name, it would not be difficult to find out his family background. Therefore, no matter how high his martial arts skills were, he would not be a threat.

Ding Mian also realized this, his facial muscles twitched a few times, and he suddenly burst into wild laughter.

Yun Changkong sneered, "Judging from that arrogant laughter, they're not convinced!" His body swayed, like an arrow released from a bow, with astonishing speed, and he brought down a palm.

Ding Mian exerted all his strength and still used the "Great Songyang Palm Technique," raising his left and right palms simultaneously. Unexpectedly, Yun Changkong's palm technique suddenly changed speed, striking first and already hitting the top of his head.

With a thud, Ding Mian's laughter came to an abrupt halt, causing everyone to gasp in shock, as his head was slapped directly into his chest cavity, and he fell straight to the ground.

Yun Changkong stepped on Ding Mian's back and said calmly, "Keep laughing!"

Yun Changkong is not inherently combative and prefers a peaceful life, but once he makes a move, he is ruthless!

It's a pity that no one understands Yun Changkong.

What he wants is obedience.

If you lose, admit it and stand at attention to take the beating!
If you keep using that old-fashioned trick from the martial arts world, like "even after a tiger dies, it still has its dignity," then you're just asking for trouble!

Because Yun Changkong dislikes trouble. Casually mentioning his name "Yun Changkong" was also to avoid trouble.

because……

"Master!" The disciples of the Songshan Sect could no longer contain their indignation. Two of them rushed over from the side, but Yun Changkong didn't even look at them and just waved his sleeve.

An invisible force struck the two men squarely in the chest.

Bang! Bang! He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, spitting blood as he landed, clearly not going to live.

Several more disciples of the Songshan Sect also had red eyes.

Even murder is just a matter of beheading someone; how can you bully people like this?
Seven or eight more people rushed forward, but Yun Changkong split his palms apart, and two gusts of wind solidified into something tangible. With a series of bangs, they were all sent flying.

"Stop!" Lu Bai shouted. His once upright figure was now hunched over, his chest heaving violently, and his breathing heavy like a bellows.

Two disciples from the Songshan Sect rushed forward to support him, barely managing to keep him upright. Lu Bai gritted his teeth and shouted, "My Songshan Sect is convinced! Are you from Shaolin Temple, Wudang Sect, or the Demonic Sect? If you can tell me, I will die with a smile!"

Lu Bai had roamed the martial world for decades, but now he had been defeated by someone whose background he knew nothing about. He was extremely unwilling to accept this.

Yun Changkong laughed loudly: "I've said it before, I'm neither a hero nor a demon, I'm both. Which side do you think I am? I'm on the side I'm happy with, and I'm not on the side I'm unhappy with. Do you understand?"

Lu Bai roared, "Well done, Yun Changkong! Let's go!"

Yun Changkong's lips curled into a calculating smile, but his face was filled with horror: "Ah, how did you know my name was Yun Changkong!" With a flick of his sleeve, Lu Bai groaned, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

The two disciples from Songshan who were helping him were also thrown back by the shock, their backs slamming heavily against the courtyard wall, causing a section of the wall to collapse instantly.

The three of them then slid to the ground, blood continuously spilling from Lu Bai's mouth. He struggled to get up, but felt a fiery energy coursing through his body, causing aches, pains, numbness, and aches, and his meridians and internal organs were torn apart by waves of pain.

He couldn't even muster a trace of true energy and could only tremble on the ground.

"You...you destroyed my internal energy?" Lu Bai's voice trembled.

Yun Changkong put his palms together and said, "Amitabha! I am just a kind-hearted person. I know that your kind heart has been clouded by desire. Chivalry is not only about fighting in the martial world. If you can protect your family's safety, that is also a great righteousness."

Without martial arts skills, you're reunited with your family in peace, which is good too! As the saying goes, "If I don't go to hell, who will?" Amitabha.

It would have been better if he hadn't said those words. As soon as he did, Lu Bai spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

Everyone found it truly absurd and laughable that these words came from Yun Changkong's mouth. They all thought, "This is what you call crocodile tears and feigned compassion! He's even more hateful than the Songshan Sect."

The disciples of the Songshan Sect picked up the bodies of Ding Mian, Fei Bin, and others, and carried Lu Bai out of the Liu family compound, secretly thinking, "Knowing that he is Yun Changkong, we must find out his family background!"

Yun Changkong knew this all too well, and thought to himself, "Go ahead and investigate. If you can find any information about me, then you'll be truly capable!"

He knew that he had offended the Songshan Sect today and displayed such high martial arts skills, so there might not only be awe, but also covetousness.

So, by cleverly revealing his name, he could make the Songshan Sect and even the entire martial arts world search for information about "Yun Changkong," which would not only divert attention but also be quite interesting.

I went through all that trouble to find an empty space. Aren't you angry?
The Songshan Sect members left the Liu residence with heavy steps.

They arrived with unparalleled arrogance, and though their faces were now pale, they still stood tall, unwilling to show the slightest weakness in front of the assembled heroes.

Suddenly, Yun Changkong clasped his hands together and sighed, "In today's martial world, an entire sect is destroyed because of one person. Nothing is more heinous than this. I have done this despicable thing today, but my intentions are truly good. I hope you will all forgive me."

When everyone heard that he knew he was "hated by everyone," they all gave a wry smile, thinking that he still had some self-awareness, and they all filed out of the Liu family's house.
They didn't want to see Yun Changkong, this unpredictable and ruthless god, for even a moment longer.

Because he can kill someone with a gentle expression and a smile!
And they are extremely brutal!

Who wouldn't be afraid?
They didn't even dare to make friends!

That day, Liu Zhengfeng and his family packed their valuables, left the city, boarded a ferry, and sailed away. (End of Chapter)
