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

Upon hearing Ren Yingying's words, Linghu Chong was slightly taken aback. He opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak. He had always been fearless, but at this moment he had lost his composure.

He was captivated by Ren Yingying's beauty and noble bearing, which he had never seen before. Although they were of different kinds, righteous and demonic, and were on opposing sides, he could not figure out where the demonic aspect of this girl lay.

Killing her was something I would never want to do under any circumstances.

Linghu Chong understood that Zuo Lengchan was forcing him to kill the Holy Maiden because he hoped Linghu Chong wouldn't do it, so that he could use the pretext of colluding with the Demonic Sect to attack the Huashan Sect, just like he had done with Liu Zhengfeng's family. Thus, Linghu Chong found himself in a dilemma.

Yue Buqun coldly said, "Chong'er, why aren't you making a move? Do you really want to cut yourself off from my Huashan Sect?"

Linghu Chong exclaimed in surprise, "Master, why is it like this? The Songshan Sect has ulterior motives. If I kill her, her friends in the martial world will definitely retaliate against my Huashan Sect. If I don't kill her, they will say that I am colluding with the Demonic Sect. Either way, we might as well fight the Songshan Sect to the death!"

"Haha..." Zuo Lengchan laughed loudly.

Tang Ying'e said coldly, "Senior brother, this Linghu Chong is a slippery fellow. He doesn't have the gentlemanly demeanor of Master Yue. He is clearly blinded by lust, disregards the teachings of his predecessors, and betrays the sect, yet he is still here beating around the bush. We don't need to waste words with him. Let's kill the traitor together." As he spoke, he took a few steps forward.

Yue Buqun knew that the Songshan Sect was going to kill Linghu Chong. If he didn't intervene, he wouldn't be worthy of his master. But if he did intervene, how could he and his companions possibly withstand the five great protectors of the Songshan Sect and Zuo Lengchan? With Linghu Chong's swordsmanship, Zuo Lengchan could easily defeat him with a single punch or palm strike.

Linghu Chong raised his sword and shouted, "Master, I dare not betray our sect, but I believe that as a member of the martial arts world, one should use one's skills to eliminate evil and uphold justice, rather than stirring up trouble in the martial arts world for personal gain. Using a weak woman is even more despicable!"

Upon hearing this, Zuo Lengchan's laughter ceased, and he turned his gaze to Yue Buqun, coldly saying, "Mr. Yue, the Five Mountains Sword Sects of us formed an alliance to deal with the Demonic Sect. Since the Sword Qi War, your Huashan Sect has been weakened, but all the heroes of the world admire your Huashan Sect's Senior Brother Yue for upholding justice and never hesitating to act for righteousness. However, I never expected your disciple to say that he killed the witch and was afraid of retaliation from the Demonic Sect."

Alright, our Five Mountains Sword Sect has always taken it upon itself to uphold the righteousness of the martial arts world. I have also listened to Yun Changkong's words and feel that I was also at fault in the matter of Liu Zhengfeng.

As the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions, and one cannot force them. I will not coerce you, but from this day forward, your Huashan Sect's Qi Clan must not dabble in the martial world again, lest you bring shame upon the ancestors of the Huashan Sect and dishonor to all the Five Mountains Sword Sects. Brother Tan, you bear witness to this!

Tan Diren smiled slightly and said, "Indeed, we martial artists live on the edge of death. Although the Huashan Sect is small in number, it has been able to maintain its reputation thanks to the teachings and blessings of countless predecessors. But I never expected that today I, Tan Diren, would have my eyes opened. Mr. Yue's disciple is clearly blinded by lust and has been having an affair with a demonic woman from the Demonic Sect, yet he keeps talking about upholding justice. I have seen it all. I will definitely tell my sect and the martial world!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Linghu Chong retorted angrily, "I've only just met this young lady, how could I possibly talk about any passionate love affair!"

Tan Diren sneered, "If you weren't blinded by lust, Mr. Yue would still be your master. How could you betray your own people for a demonic cult member like her?"

Then, her gaze shifted: "This Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect is second only to Dongfang Bibai in status. If it weren't for romantic feelings, would she have gathered so many people at Wubagang?"

Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong saw that Ren Yingying's face had turned deathly pale, her lips tightly pressed together, clearly agitated, whether from anger or shyness, he couldn't tell. He then thought, "For a young woman like the Holy Maiden to have so many heroes fawn over her, she must be an extraordinary figure. But I'm just an unknown nobody in the martial world. I've only known her a few times across the boat; I can't say there's any affection between us. Could it be that their idle gossip has greatly angered the Holy Maiden?"
Seeing Linghu Chong staring intently at Ren Yingying, Ning Zhongze thought to herself, "This woman is stunningly beautiful and a first-rate martial artist. It's not surprising that Chong'er, abandoned by Shan'er, would be attracted to her."

At this moment, Yue Buqun said, "Linghu Chong, I'll ask you one last time, will you kill this demoness from the Demonic Sect or not!"

He understood Linghu Chong, and he understood Zuo Lengchan's thoughts even more.

Linghu Chong's rambling explanations ultimately boiled down to his reluctance to kill the demoness from the Demonic Sect. This in itself wasn't a problem, but if I remained indifferent to his actions, it would be tantamount to declaring to the world that I, the "Gentleman Sword" who upholds justice, am a hypocrite.

If he lost the reputation of "Gentleman's Sword" to protect him, Zuo Lengchan would immediately destroy the Huashan Sect and wouldn't be afraid of giving others a reason to criticize him.

Yue Buqun knew that this was not the time to turn against Zuo Lengchan, so he had to make Linghu Chong kill the Demon Sword Demoness. This was a matter of his very survival.

Linghu Chong glanced at Ren Yingying, lowered his head, and said, "Master, please forgive me for being unable to comply!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun's face suddenly turned purple, and he shouted, "You actually dare to disobey your master's orders, which is extremely rebellious! I will kill you!" He then struck Linghu Chong on the top of the head with a palm.

Linghu Chong didn't want to kill Ren Yingying, nor did he want to become a traitorous disciple. He felt that closing his eyes and waiting for death was a kind of liberation.

Seeing this, Ren Yingying was about to step forward to help, but Zuo Lengchan shifted his foot slightly, and Ren Yingying instantly realized that she was not capable of getting past him.

But at this critical moment, Ning Zhongze stretched out his palm to block and called out, "Senior Brother!"

Seeing his wife's eyes brimming with tears, Yue Buqun coldly said, "Junior sister, this beast has been bewitched by women and can no longer distinguish right from wrong. He has also learned Uncle Feng's Dugu Nine Swords. If I do not cleanse the sect today, he will bring disaster to the martial arts world in the future, and you and I will surely be disgraced. Let him go!"

Ning Zhongze clung tightly to Yue Buqun's arm and said, "Senior brother, Chong'er joined my Huashan sect when he was ten years old, and it's been fifteen years now. You and I raised and taught him. Are you really willing to kill him?"

Tang Ying'e sneered and said, "Madam Yue is right. You raised him for fifteen years, but how can that compare to the slight smile of the demoness from the Demonic Sect? Look how mesmerized he was just now, as if he had seen a fairy. He didn't even remember that he was a disciple of Mount Hua."

Linghu Chong was furious and shouted, "What kind of seniors in the martial arts world are you to say such things!"

Zhong Zhen laughed and said, "Senior brother, you can't blame nephew Linghu for this. You're not married, so you don't know about the affairs between men and women in this world. They're hard to explain."

This holy maiden has always been high-minded, looking down on no man in the world. Yet, for her nephew Linghu, she risked everything alone. She possesses both beauty and loyalty, yet she cannot win the affections of her future daughter-in-law. It's no wonder she couldn't resist the allure of the demonic sect's enchantress.

Tan Diren nodded vigorously: "This Holy Maiden is as beautiful as a flower, with a waist as slender as a willow, and a sword as clear as autumn water. Just now, her leap was like a willow breaking in the wind, and her fall was like a shooting star trailing on the ground. It's no wonder that Nephew Linghu was moved by her."

"But nephew Linghu, I've heard you're always been frivolous and slippery, with a touch of heroic air about you. Why don't you dare admit it? That's not the behavior of a true hero!"

Suddenly, Ren Yingying said coldly, "You bunch of rats, fearing Linghu Chong's divine swordsmanship, want to use Mr. Yue's hand to get rid of this thorn in your side. How despicable!"

"Hmph, no wonder the Songshan Sect doesn't dare seek revenge on Yun Changkong for his brother's death, only daring to use my fabricated story with him to kill him!"

Upon hearing this, everyone from the Songshan Sect was shocked and enraged.

It should be noted that they all deeply regretted Yun Changkong's killing of Ding Mian and the others.

However, while Zuo Lengchan was an extremely cunning and ruthless person, he was also a wise, profound, and stubborn individual. Everything he did was for the purpose of leading the masses and achieving hegemony in the martial arts world.

Yun Changkong rose to prominence in the martial arts world. He thought that since the other party was so young, he must be determined to make a name for himself, and thus become his rival. He decided to strike first and spread rumors that he had something going on with the Holy Maiden. This would not only isolate him from the righteous sects of the martial arts world, but also, because of Ren Yingying's ruthless personality, make him full of enemies even within the Demonic Sect.

Unexpectedly, Yun Changkong disappeared from the martial world for nearly a year, which made Zuo Lengchan realize that he had made a mistake. In addition, Yun Changkong challenged him. As a well-known master in the world, and with the ambition to unify the Five Mountains, he had no choice but to accept the challenge. However, he had no confidence in winning, so he went down the mountain ahead of time to meet Yun Changkong.

Therefore, he adopted a conciliatory approach, trying his best to appear dignified and elder-like, hoping to win over Yun Changkong with his wishful thinking in order to achieve his long-cherished ambition of dominating the martial arts world.

Unexpectedly, Yun Changkong had no ambition and remained unmoved. But upon closer examination, Zuo Lengchan understood that this man simply wanted to be free from all constraints.

Zuo Lengchan's lips twitched, and he said coldly, "You say I'm afraid of Linghu Chong? That's a joke. With just my bare hands, I could kill ten Linghu Chongs."

"I'm only giving him a chance to reform because of the Huashan Sect. As for Yun Changkong, Miss Ren, how dare you even mention him?"

Zuo Lengchan was a man who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He couldn't outwardly express his fear of Yun Changkong, nor did he have absolute certainty of defeating Yun Changkong. Instead, he resorted to conciliatory methods to cultivate a relationship, which was a common practice for him to adapt to circumstances. However, he was extremely dissatisfied with Ren Yingying repeatedly using Yun Changkong to pressure him.

Ren Yingying snorted coldly: "You've already done it, so why can't I bring it up?"

Zuo Lengchan said sternly, “Miss Ren, in terms of seniority, it is indeed beneath my dignity to attack you. However, you are second only to Dongfang Bibai in the Demonic Sect, so we are evenly matched. It’s just a pity that my brother Yun suffered a loss without realizing it. I feel bad for him and think it was not worth it.”

Ren Yingying snorted, "Honeyed words, dagger in the heart!"

Zuo Lengchan said, "That's still better than you being fickle, indecisive, and toying with men."

Ren Yingying was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "You...you're shameless, you're spouting nonsense." Her face flushed red.

Yun Changkong felt that Ren Yingying was not a promiscuous woman, and Zuo Lengchan's words were a personal attack, so he naturally had to retaliate.

Zuo Lengchan snorted coldly and said, "Am I spouting nonsense?"

Do you think I don't know? You first sent your monstrous subordinates to cause trouble for Yun Changkong. He's a man of principle, upright and honorable, and felt that dragging a woman like you into this mess would damage your reputation. To give you an explanation, he made a big show of challenging me. Furthermore, to save you from Yang Lianting's wrath, he killed your subordinates. What a heart he had for you! Yet you only used him!
Yun Changkong's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world. Even Dongfang Bibai would be defeated if he met him. Yet you used your beauty to manipulate him and make him run around in circles, so you could profit from it.

That's fine. Yun Changkong has no taboos and is unrestrained by heaven and earth. As long as he's happy, he doesn't care.

But you're trying to curry favor with Linghu Chong again. Haha, if anyone in the martial arts world says he likes the Holy Maiden...

The Holy Maiden disregarded him, yet turned to embrace the disciples of Mount Hua. Where did that leave his face?

"I am not a young man like Yun Changkong or Linghu Chong. The only reason I haven't exposed your scheme is out of respect for Yun Changkong. You dare to act so arrogantly? Today, I will rid my brother Yun of this scourge!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Changkong thought to himself, "These people who claim to be from prestigious sects are such a nuisance. They'll go to great lengths to justify their actions, but could it be that Zuo Lengchan knows I'm here and is trying to curry favor with me?"

Yun Changkong understood everything perfectly. He knew that Zuo Lengchan wouldn't kill the Holy Maiden; he wanted Linghu Chong to protect the Demonic Sect so that they could launch an attack on the Huashan Sect without giving them any grounds for criticism. In the original story, the Songshan Sect had captured the Holy Maiden, but didn't kill her; instead, she was rescued by Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian.

Yue Buqun knew Zuo Lengchan's thoughts and was also in a dilemma. If he really killed the Holy Maiden, he would inevitably suffer the revenge of those from the Three Mountains and Five Peaks. But if he didn't kill her, he would inevitably be accused of colluding with the Demonic Sect. If the Songshan Sect destroyed the Huashan Sect, no one in the martial arts world would say a word against it.

But Ren Yingying's chest heaved as she listened, her eyes sparkling, and she shouted sharply, "If you want to kill, then kill! Don't mention Yun Changkong! Don't you know I'm determined to take his life? What nonsense are you spouting here!"

Ren Yingying's reputation spread throughout the martial arts world, and naturally, Sha Yun Changkong and his ilk knew about it.

Suddenly, Tang Ying'e gave a sinister laugh and said, "Nephew Linghu, isn't this Holy Maiden beautiful?"

Linghu Chong's heart skipped a beat, but he couldn't lie through his teeth, so he nodded and said, "This young lady is exceptionally beautiful, so what?"

Tang Ying'e said, "Since that's the case, if Nephew Linghu wants to marry her, as long as your master agrees, we will let her go for the sake of the Huashan Sect!"

Linghu Chong glanced at Ren Yingying, and Ning Zhongze suddenly exclaimed, "Chong'er, you mustn't talk nonsense!"

She knew this disciple was always reckless and was afraid that he might be provoked and say something outrageous!
Linghu Chong said solemnly, "It is true that this young lady saved my life. To put my Huashan Sect in an unjust position and to bully an injured woman is something I, Linghu Chong, would rather die than do. That is the behavior of a true man who can face the world with a clear conscience."

"All of you present are masters of your craft, leaders in the martial arts world, yet you've joined forces to attack a mere woman. Even if you kill her, wouldn't that make him look down on the heroes of the Five Mountains Sword Sect?"

These words were spoken with such boldness and eloquence that Ren Yingying secretly admired them and was deeply impressed.

But to outsiders, it was a huge irony.

"You scoundrel!" Yue Buqun shouted, "You traitorous wretch, how dare you talk about having a clear conscience? Did Uncle Feng teach you the Dugu Nine Swords so you would protect the Demonic Sect? If you weren't a disciple of Mount Hua, what right do you have to be taught such a sword technique?"

When he and Ning Zhongze heard Ren Yingying mention the Dugu Nine Swords and Feng Qingyang, they suddenly realized that Linghu Chong's great progress in swordsmanship was due to this.

The name "Dugu Nine Swords" was known to Yue Buqun and his wife, but they thought Feng Qingyang had already passed away. They never expected that it would be passed on to Linghu Chong, so they naturally vented their dissatisfaction at this moment.

It's simple, why didn't you send it to me?

"Senior brother, don't get angry." Ning Zhongze also scolded Linghu Chong: "Chong'er, I think you're too badly injured and have gone mad. Come with your master's wife!"

She didn't want to pressure Linghu Chong, and while scolding him, she gave him meaningful glances, signaling him not to act rashly. "I understand, I understand!" Tan Diren clapped his hands and said, "This vixen is probably no match for Senior Feng's unparalleled swordsmanship, so she resorted to a honey trap!"
"This nephew Linghu, it turns out he's received the true teachings of Senior Feng. No wonder he doesn't respect his mentor! Mr. Yue, if I were you, I would have stepped down long ago! Why are you still interfering?"

The Tandi people watching the spectacle were gloating.

In the past few decades, the Five Mountains Sword Sects have risen to prominence in the martial arts world. The Kunlun Sect, originally a major sword sect, has been overshadowed. Now that it has the opportunity, it is jumping up and down to watch the joke.

Linghu Chong shouted angrily, "You're talking nonsense!"

Tan Diren laughed and said, "I'm talking nonsense? Your master ordered you to kill the demoness, but you refused to do so even if it meant death. Isn't that disrespecting your master and betraying your ancestors?"
"Heh, and all this because of that vixen who injured a Shaolin disciple with her sword! In my opinion, if your master didn't allow you to marry that vixen, you'd probably draw your sword and kill her yourself! Mr. Yue, I advise you to quickly hand over the sect leader's token and protect yourself. After all, these are the words of your first disciple, you can't ignore them!"

The members of the Songshan Sect exchanged knowing smiles, feeling that bringing him along to Wubagang was truly a stroke of foresight.

Yue Buqun's face flashed purple. Recalling the times at the Medicine King Temple when people said his swordsmanship was inferior to Linghu Chong's and that he should step down, he said sternly, "Linghu Chong, you beast! To prevent you from tarnishing the reputation of our Huashan Sect, from this moment on, you are no longer a disciple of the Huashan Sect. Our master-disciple relationship is severed!"

Everyone was stunned. Even Zuo Lengchan was shocked. Would Yue Buqun actually pull this stunt?
In their eyes, Linghu Chong was raised by them from childhood, and they would never expel him from their sect under any circumstances.

Therefore, he would fight against them in order to protect his disciple, which is why he had previously taken the opportunity to test Yue Buqun.

Unexpectedly, they actually expelled Linghu Chong from the sect.

Only Yun Changkong thought it was perfectly normal.

Yue Buqun had long been dissatisfied with Linghu Chong and wanted to expel him from the sect; now he was merely taking advantage of the situation.

But Linghu Chong didn't understand. His face turned deathly pale, and he cried out, "Master, Master, please retract your order, your disciple..."

Ning Zhongze also turned pale and said, "Senior brother, Chong'er has been raised by us since he was a child. You are expelling him from the sect. Isn't that worse than killing him?"

Yue Buqun angrily said, "Junior sister, the Seven Precepts of Mount Hua deceived us and disobeyed our master's orders; relying on his superior martial arts, he bullied the Qingcheng Sect; he is lecherous and flirted with the nuns of Mount Heng, and just now he made a complete fool of himself in front of this vixen; he was jealous of Pingzhi and Shan'er, and knocked away the birthday gift you gave to Shan'er; he was also greedy and ungrateful, following his uncle from the Sword Sect to learn swordsmanship without reporting it; he was arrogant and conceited, offending his fellow Shaolin disciples; he colluded with a group of evil people, calling each other brothers, saying that they would share hardships and blessings, and you saw all of this."

He has violated every single one of the seven precepts that have been passed down through the Huashan Sect for centuries. Our reputations have been ruined by this beast. I can no longer tolerate this!" As he spoke, the long sword in his hand broke in two.

"No, Master!" Seeing his master break his sword to show his resolve, Linghu Chong knew there was no turning back. In an instant, the world turned upside down, his blood rushed to his head, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted to the ground.

Yun Changkong thought to himself, "This works? One knockout solves everything?"

Ning Zhongze was still trying to persuade her disciple, saying, "Senior brother, Chong'er has misbehaved. You can punish him by making him meditate in seclusion for three or five years, or even prevent him from ever stepping out of Mount Hua again. Why must you expel him from the sect? Doing so will inevitably push him onto the evil path and ruin his life!"

Yue Buqun remained unmoved and said loudly, "Has he not yet strayed onto the evil path? He's full of wicked schemes. Just now he was talking about Yun Changkong and all that. Yun Changkong is just a wandering soul who hasn't received any favors from the sect, so naturally he can do whatever he wants."

But what about him? We've nurtured him for fifteen years, and as a disciple of Mount Hua, instead of bringing honor to our sect, he's brought trouble upon ourselves!

"Junior sister, have you forgotten? Master has entrusted us with the heavy responsibility of bringing glory to our sect. If we don't expel such an unworthy disciple from the sect as soon as possible, let alone fulfilling our predecessors' last wishes, my husband and I may not live much longer!"

Ren Yingying snorted coldly: "You are so pedantic. As the leader of a sect, how are you any different from ordinary people?"

Even if Linghu Chong becomes the leader of the Huashan Sect, he won't stand out from the crowd, and you're more afraid of ruining your reputation, aren't you? Your expulsion of him from the sect is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Her tone clearly showed that she didn't take the martial arts of the Huashan Sect seriously.

"Shut up!" Ning Zhongze pointed at Ren Yingying and roared, "You lewd and shameless slut, isn't this your fault?"

Ren Yingying flew into a rage and shouted, "Who are you insulting?"

"You!" Ning Zhongze said angrily, "It's understandable that you've been stirring up trouble in the martial world and harming Yun Changkong, but my disciple is penniless. What could possibly be so worthwhile for you to go to such lengths to frame him!"

Yun Changkong thought to himself, "Madam Yue, there's something wrong with what you're saying. How can it be excused to harm me?"

Ren Yingying disliked arguing with people by nature, and upon hearing this, she blushed and didn't know how to retort.

It should be noted that Ning Zhongze was strong-willed, unlike Yue Buqun. She had hoped that the woman would not admit her identity so as not to give the Songshan Sect any reason to criticize her, and that she would take Linghu Chong away herself. However, the woman insisted on admitting her identity in public, which made the situation unmanageable. Ning Zhongze became angrier and angrier as she thought about it, which is why she became so furious and disregarded her status as a female knight-errant.

Ning Zhongze raised her voice and said, "Old Demon Ren used to use the Star Absorbing Technique to harm fellow martial artists. You despicable woman are just like him, hypocritical and cunning, causing my master-disciple relationship to end. If my disciple won't kill you, I will!"

However, Ren Yingying was even more furious. She only wanted to save Linghu Chong's life, but who knew that Zuo Lengchan would come here? Since he mentioned Ren Woxing, she couldn't possibly disown her own father as his daughter.

Arrogant and conceited, she had no reason to tolerate insults and provocations. She sneered, "Very well, Lady Ning is a heroine of the Huashan Sect, while I, a mere woman, am a great demon. I'm just waiting for you to avenge my disciple. Make your move!"

Yun Changkong sighed inwardly, "Linghu Chong is indeed the son of God. In a situation that would normally leave him helpless, he just fainted, thus avoiding seeing the situation altogether. Isn't that great fortune?"

Ning Zhongze drew her sword with a whoosh, but Yue Buqun pressed her hand down and said, "Junior sister, don't be reckless, think of Shan'er!"

Ning Zhongze was originally furious, but upon hearing this, it was as if cold water had been poured over her head. Yes, if this witch was killed, then all the Huashan disciples would be doomed.

Zuo Lengchan had two plans: first, he would not kill Ren Yingying, but would use the pretext of colluding with the Demonic Sect to kill them himself; second, he would let them kill Ren Yingying, and then he would release the news so that the Huashan Sect would be destroyed by unorthodox sects without him having to lift a finger. Why not do that?

But Yue Buqun could see through Zuo Lengchan's intentions. He clasped his hands in a fist and said to Zuo Lengchan, "Leader Zuo, it is a misfortune for our family. Today I have expelled Linghu Chong. All his actions have nothing to do with the Huashan Sect anymore. Are you satisfied?"

Zuo Lengchan sighed and said, "It's truly unexpected that the eldest disciple taught by Master Yue has become an accomplice of the Demonic Sect. Master Yue's courage to cut off his own arm and scrape the bone to remove poison is truly admirable. Very well, since Linghu Chong is not a disciple of the Huashan Sect and does not belong to our Five Mountains Alliance, this traitor is from now on our Five Mountains Alliance's common enemy and must be killed without exception."

Ning Zhongze sneered, "It's ridiculous that a mere Linghu Chong can cause such panic among the prestigious Songshan Sect."

Zuo Lengchan said calmly, "Madam Yue is right. Linghu Chong is nothing to worry about, but he is greedy for beauty, colludes with the Demonic Sect, and betrays his sect. This is a scourge to the martial arts world! Tell me, if all the disciples of my righteous sect were to follow the example of your sect's eldest disciple, what would become of us? If the Demonic Sect found a few beauties, wouldn't they have become their own world? At the very least, your sect's disciples wouldn't be able to resist such temptation, would they?"

Ning Zhongze glanced at Linghu Chong and said, "Yes, someone's blind. It seems that the Left Alliance Leader has been planning to kill Linghu Chong for a long time. No wonder he insisted that my wife and I hide in the sidelines. The Left Alliance Leader is probably seeking revenge for someone else!"

When Zuo Lengchan heard her mention blindness, he knew that she suspected that the group of underworld figures who besieged the Medicine King Temple were sent by him. He coldly smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not just me who wants to kill Linghu Chong. If it weren't for your intervention just now, your husband would have already sent him to the Western Paradise."

Ning Zhongze glared at her husband and picked up Linghu Chong's belt.

"Put him down!" Ren Yingying cried out anxiously.

Ning Zhongze snorted and floated towards Zuo Lengchan, saying, "Alliance Leader Zuo, Linghu Chong is here. Kill him!"

Zuo Lengchan's eyes flashed, and he snorted, "He is seriously injured, and I disdain to kill him. But since he has turned to the Demonic Sect and is willing to be a traitor, he will be the common enemy of the Five Mountains Sword Sect in the future. I will kill him sooner or later!"

Yun Changkong sighed: "This Zuo Lengchan is also burdened by fame. What's wrong with him? You're the villain. Taking advantage of his illness to kill him is the right thing to do. Why pretend to be a hero and a chivalrous gentleman?"

He knew that Zuo Lengchan had countless opportunities to kill Linghu Chong. Even in front of the Medicine King Temple, when Linghu Chong blinded fifteen people with a single sword strike, the Songshan Sect felt that one-on-one combat was not feasible, but a group attack would certainly be possible. However, fearing that it would damage their reputation, they left.

In the end, Zuo Lengchan met his end by dying from Linghu Chong's swordsmanship. But the most ridiculous thing is that when he attacked, he didn't care that Zuo Lengchan was blind and crippled. You, a villain, even had the nerve to talk about magnanimity. If you don't die, who will?

Ning Zhongze knew that Zuo Lengchan would have to be mindful of his reputation in front of so many people. Hearing what he said, the Songshan Sect members made way for him, grabbed Linghu Chong, and hurried away.

Yue Buqun clasped his hands in farewell and said, "Farewell."

Zuo Lengchan said calmly, "I wish Mr. Yue a safe journey."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted, and two piercing eyes swept over Ren Yingying from head to toe. He suddenly said coldly, "I suppose you are well aware of your father's battle with me, Zuo, back then, relying on his superior martial arts skills." His voice grew colder and colder, with a hint of murderous intent lurking beneath.

Blue Phoenix pulled on the clouds and the sky.

Yun Changkong glanced over and saw the anxiety in her beautiful eyes. He knew she was afraid that Ren Yingying would lose her life. He smiled slightly and said in a secret voice transmission, "You can rest assured. Zuo Lengchan still needs her to do things. I'd like to hear what this guy is planning!"

Seeing that Zuo Lengchan's tone was unfriendly, Ren Yingying quietly moved aside and coldly replied, "If you want to collect a debt, then come on!"

Zuo Lengchan shook his head and said, "You can't collect debts from me. Have you found out anything about Yun Changkong?"

It turns out that he also intended to use Ren Yingying's help to find out Yun Changkong's background, and today he took this opportunity to find out the truth.

Ren Yingying gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know, but I'll tear him to pieces sooner or later!"

Seeing the murderous intent in her eyes, the crowd exchanged glances.

Yun Changkong was even more confused by these words, because he felt that the woman's murderous intent was genuine!
Zuo Lengchan laughed and said, "It seems that you have a deep grudge against Yun Changkong, young lady?"

Ren Yingying's lips trembled as she coldly said, "My hatred for him runs deep. Only by tearing him to pieces and dismembering him can I appease your anger, young lady. What do you say?"

Yun Changkong cursed inwardly, "That damned woman, she really doesn't know what's good for her."

Zuo Lengchan laughed loudly, "Brother Yun's martial arts are unparalleled, how could you possibly compare? You even want to kill him, what a boastful statement!"

Ren Yingying coldly said, "Enough nonsense. You've already used me to make Linghu Chong a public enemy of the martial arts world. What else do you want to use me for? To kill Yun Changkong? If that's the case, I'm willing to be your weapon!"

Zuo Lengchan laughed and said, "As expected of Ren Woxing's daughter, she is heroic and forthright. I admire her greatly!" Suddenly, his expression changed and he said, "But Brother Yun and I have already made peace. What you do is none of my business."

However, Linghu Chong is right. Even if I disregard my status, I shouldn't attack you. You may leave!

He was unwilling to provoke the Holy Maiden, a hot potato, because killing her would be doing a good deed for the Demonic Sect. Capturing her wouldn't be enough to blackmail Yang Lianting's Demonic Sect, but would instead cause trouble for the Songshan Sect among those from the Three Mountains and Five Peaks.

His purpose in coming here was to deal with the Huashan Sect. He would have been better off killing Linghu Chong than doing this.

Ren Yingying sneered and said, "Now that's the demeanor of a grandmaster. Your magnanimity and methods are extraordinary. Farewell!" With that, she swayed and floated away.

Suddenly, Zuo Lengchan's gaze shifted, and with a whoosh, a withered branch shot out from the pine forest, striking Ren Yingying squarely on the shoulder.

Ren Yingying let out a soft moan, her body paused, and she landed lightly, but her legs gave way and she fell to the ground.

Everyone was taken aback. The withered branch was so light and light, weighing only a few ounces, yet it managed to knock Ren Yingying down.

Such a tactic of using the small to defeat the large, and the light to defeat the heavy, shocked everyone present.

A voice sneered, "You're beautiful, woman, that's enough. You're dreaming, aren't you? Well, you're not leaving!" (End of Chapter)
