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

When Yun Changkong and Lan Fenghuang saw Ren Yingying's state, although it was inconsistent with her usual status, they understood why Ren Yingying was like this!
Including why he hated Yun Changkong so much.

It was only because they had heard Zuo Lengchan say that there were rumors in the martial arts world that the Holy Maiden was fickle and unfaithful, and that when they were at Wubagang, they had heard people talking about the Holy Maiden's change of heart.

In reality, Yun Changkong and Ren Yingying had no romantic relationship whatsoever; the two disliked each other from the moment they met.

Yun Changkong's skin was as thick as a city wall, so he naturally didn't take it seriously when he heard it.

However, Ren Yingying must have heard it too. Although she came from the Demonic Sect, she was shy and timid. She seemed bold in matters of love between men and women, but she was extremely shy. How could she listen to such words?
Lan Fenghuang said in a low voice, "Holy Maiden, what's the big deal? Only your own happiness and joy are real; empty fame will only do you harm!"

Ren Yingying burst into tears, and said bitterly, "Everyone laughs at me, and you're just like them. What kind of friend are you?" With that, she stood up and walked away.

Blue Phoenix followed behind and said, "If you keep crying, you'll be even more embarrassed if others see you. Holy Maiden, you don't want everyone to know, do you?"

Saintess's heart pounded like thunder, her mind a jumbled mess, utterly at a loss. She slowly sat down under a tree, buried her face in it, and said, "From now on, I will have no face left in front of you."

Yun Changkong thought to himself, "Face, face, face can feed you! How many people have lost their lives for the sake of face!" But then he thought, "If this woman cares about face, I can control her. If she doesn't care about face, I'll just kill her!"

Yun Changkong understood that face could restrain people's behavior.

Because a person who cares about their reputation will consider how others will think and talk about them when they do things, they will restrain their own behavior.

Therefore, when associating with this kind of person, it's better to suffer a loss yourself than to take advantage of them. Protecting your reputation is the only way to have principles in your actions.

Therefore, Yun Changkong was willing to watch Ren Yingying make a fool of herself, and even though he knew she had murderous intentions towards him, he still wanted to get to the bottom of things because he knew she valued her reputation.

If it were a shameless person, they would stop at nothing to gain personal profit or pleasure at the expense of others.

They can just send him straight to the Western Paradise.

Lan Fenghuang chuckled and said, "You, you, are still thinking about saving face at a time like this. Those people know you care about face, that's why they're making trouble for you!"

Ren Yingying said calmly, "Phoenix, I'm thirsty. Can you get me some water?"

Knowing that she was trying to get rid of her, Lan Fenghuang said, "Then sit for a while, I'll look for you!"

"Wait a minute!" Yun Changkong snorted, "The Sun Moon Sect calls itself a god, and you are known as the Holy Maiden. As long as you dare to do things, you should not care about the opinions of others. But I did not expect that most of them are narrow-minded people!" His words implied that Ren Yingying was narrow-minded.

Ren Yingying was incredibly intelligent and could tell what was going on. She snorted coldly and said, "I may be petty, but you're not much more magnanimous!" Another crystal tear fell from the corner of her eye, and she quickly reached out to wipe it away.

Yun Changkong chuckled: "It seems that you can forget your troubles by scolding me. No wonder you not only wanted to kill me, but also instigated Linghu Chong to kill me. It turns out I am a panacea!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Yingying felt as if she had been punched in the heart, leaving her feeling quite uncomfortable. She couldn't help but sneer and coldly snorted, "You told Ji Wushi and the others on Wangniu Hill outside Kaifeng that I am your friend!"

Yun Changkong said, "Yes."

Ren Yingying said, "And then you killed my subordinates. Is this how you treat friends?"

Lan Fenghuang suddenly said, "Holy Maiden, those people are not good people. They captured the Yue family's daughter and Lin Pingzhi, but took the opportunity to interrogate her for the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual, ruining your reputation. I was afraid you would be angry, so I asked my elder brother to take action!"

Ren Yingying glared at her with her beautiful eyes and said, "You're just taking his side!"

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "She's my woman, so naturally she's thinking of me!"

"Your woman?" Ren Yingying sneered, "You make it sound so nice, but don't you know what marriage is? What makes you think Phoenix is ​​your woman? Just because you, Yun Changkong, are skilled in martial arts, can you just say a word and represent all the proper etiquette? What do you take us women for?"

Yun Changkong smiled calmly and said, "Miss Ren, in terms of reputation, I, Yun Changkong, am not worth anything. In terms of character, I am frivolous and shallow, and I am criticized by many. Even my father was extremely dissatisfied with my marriage in the past."

Ren Yingying sneered, "You do have some self-awareness, so all the wives you've married were ones your father disapproved of?"

Yun Changkong said calmly, "As the saying goes, 'People's hearts are united when they are impartial, but varied when they are selfish. Therefore, a gentleman values ​​the elimination of selfishness.' However, I am neither a gentleman nor a hypocrite. So I love my wives. The moment I am moved by them, I will not hide my desires, nor will I be controlled by anyone. It doesn't matter who comes."

While you may appear to be a witch from a demonic sect, you are actually bound by many things.

For example, if your father didn't want you to marry Linghu Chong, even if you loved him deeply, you probably wouldn't marry him and become an unfilial person!

Although he spoke casually, Ren Yingying seemed to have been struck by a blow, her cold and beautiful face showing complete bewilderment.

It's important to know that she was raised in a cult, and all she witnessed were conspiracies, schemes, and cruel acts. However, Ren Yingying's innate conscience could not be concealed. Therefore, she was willing to seek medicine for those suffering from poison. Although she harbored feelings for Linghu Chong, even though her love deepened later in the original story, it ultimately couldn't overcome her father's influence.

This is because in the original storyline, Ren Woxing forced Linghu Chong to join the Demonic Sect, otherwise he would destroy the Hengshan Sect.

Linghu Chong once asked Ren Yingying if she could come with him.

Ren Yingying said, "If I go with you, I will be unfilial; if I betray you, I will be unjust. Filial piety and righteousness are hard to reconcile. From now on, do not think of me anymore."

Linghu Chong wanted to marry Ren Yingying on Jianxing Peak, but Ren Yingying refused, so Linghu Chong had to leave alone.

Ren Yingying felt that Linghu Chong wouldn't live much longer, and she wouldn't live alone either. She could commit suicide for love, but she wouldn't disobey her father. This was very different from other love-struck women.

Therefore, the union of Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying is unlike other couples in the "Golden" family, such as Huang Rong and Guo Jing, or Zhao Min and Zhang Wuji, whose fathers strongly opposed their relationship.

Their union was a compromise, but it also felt more real. There is no such thing as a perfect marriage in this world.

Ren Yingying hadn't considered this question, because she believed her father was dead, which confused her. She only felt that although Yun Changkong seemed frivolous, what he said made a lot of sense.

Therefore, although she was proud and arrogant, she also felt ashamed of her own inferiority.

But she was proud and aloof, and then she was secretly annoyed, thinking to herself, "What's so great about that guy surnamed Yun? Does he know everything?" She composed herself and said, "This matter is ultimately not realistic, so let's not talk about it."

Yun Changkong chuckled: "How is it not reality?"

Ren Yingying sighed and said sadly, "If only my father could stop me from marrying someone else..." As she spoke, she was stunned and tears welled up in her eyes.

Lan Fenghuang also sighed and said, "Yes, if Master Ren were here, who would dare to bully you?"

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "You think this way now that your father is gone, but if he were still alive and had truly opposed your marriage, then perhaps you would blame him then..."

"Pfft—" Ren Yingying suddenly smiled brightly and said, "Although I really want to scold you, then I think, maybe that's how it is!"

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "That's right, you should smile more. You're so young and beautiful, why pretend to be so profound!"

Ren Yingying was already exceptionally beautiful, and in Yun Changkong's eyes, apart from Zhao Min and the Purple-Robed Dragon King, there was no other woman in the world who could compare to her.

Although Zhou Zhiruo, Xiao Zhao, and Yilin each have their own beauty, none of them can compare to her in terms of pure charm.

Especially since Ren Yingying was usually dignified and had a dignified expression, this smile was like a hundred flowers blooming and the morning glow shining brightly, so beautiful that it was hard to look directly at her. This scene was completely different from her cold smile just now.

Seeing him looking at her, Ren Yingying said calmly, "If I were to attack you now, I'm afraid you'd die a confused ghost."

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "I'm not afraid of death, it's just a matter of how I die. So, I'm determined to die. I've already planned out my own way of dying!"

Blue Phoenix snorted, "Why bring up such depressing things?"

Yun Changkong thought to himself, "Your friend keeps saying he wants to take my life!" He smiled but remained silent.

Ren Yingying replied, "As the ancients said, 'A true man should die on the battlefield,' without losing his heroic spirit and lofty ambitions. I suppose that's what you've been hoping for?"

"No," Yun Changkong smiled slightly. "The so-called 'dying on the battlefield' sounds impressive, but it has nothing to do with me."

"How many brave men risk their lives simply to fulfill the ambitions of those in high positions and to advance their own ambitions? How many are truly selfless and devoted to the public good? I, for one, am not so noble."

Ren Yingying said, "Do you still want to die a natural death?"

Yun Changkong shook his head and said, "If you live in the martial world and practice martial arts, you will have blood on your hands and die a bad death sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. To think that you can die peacefully in your old age is just wishful thinking."

Ren Yingying was shocked by these words, because Yun Changkong's words struck a chord with her. She believed that she would die sooner or later in the midst of the grudges and feuds of the martial world.

Lan Fenghuang retorted, "It's neither this nor that, Holy Maiden, stop guessing."

Seeing the two laughing and chatting, one handsome and the other charming and pretty, they looked like a couple, while she felt like an outsider.

Ren Yingying was incredibly intelligent. She felt that Yun Changkong's implication was that if she were to die, she should die at the hands of a beauty like herself. However, to say it out loud would be to overestimate herself and underestimate Yun Changkong.

Little did they know that this was exactly what Yun Changkong was thinking.

He had long thought that if he had to die someday, he would commit suicide if he had no other choice, but if he had a choice, he would follow Duan Zhengchun's example and say, "To die under the peony is to be a romantic ghost."

Ren Yingying continued, "Your martial arts are superb, but I've always been curious about just how high your skills are!" She referred to herself as "this humble woman," which was quite modest.

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "It's hard to say who is better at martial arts. We'll only know if we force our opponent to use their full strength!"

Ren Yingying's eyes flashed, and she said, "Have you ever encountered this?"

Yun Changkong thought for a moment and said, "If it's a one-on-one fight, then I haven't encountered one yet."

Lan Fenghuang laughed and said, "Then who do you think can force you to use your full strength in this world?"

Yun Changkong laughed and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lan Fenghuang retorted, "It's just a question, what's the point?"

Ren Yingying pursed her lips and said, "In terms of swordsmanship alone, you are no match for Young Master Linghu, that's the truth!"

Yun Changkong said calmly, "Although Linghu Chong has learned a bit of the 'Dugu Nine Swords,' he is not in my eyes. However, in terms of swordsmanship, I cannot use internal energy when I fight him, so the methods in my 'Entangle' and 'Adhere' techniques are useless, which limits my performance."

Ren Yingying asked, "What about Feng Qingyang?"

Yun Changkong said, "If I were to encounter Feng Qingyang, in terms of swordsmanship, I might indeed be inferior to him, but he is old and not as durable as I am, so he might not be able to win either."

Lan Fenghuang asked, "Then what about the Eastern Cult Leader?"

Yun Changkong thought to himself, "Are they trying to use me to deal with Dongfang Bubai by bringing up this topic? Anyway, I'm going to meet him anyway, and do Phoenix a favor, so it doesn't matter."

He nodded and said, "Yes, Dongfang Bubai is indeed a formidable rival in my heart. If there is a suitable opportunity to compete with him, and if the orchid can continue to bloom and be appreciated by the world, that would be wonderful!"

Ren Yingying's heart skipped a beat. She remembered Yun Changkong saying that she was a secluded orchid in a valley, exuding fragrance alone and should not be appreciated by the world. Now, upon hearing these words, for some reason, a blush appeared on her face, and she lowered her head.

Little did people know that Yun Changkong seemed easygoing and indifferent to everything. In addition, he acted on his own whims, which often made people unpredictable about his true intentions, leaving them at a loss.

For example, from the moment Ren Yingying was born, everyone in the Sun Moon Sect treated her like a princess, and no one dared to disobey her in the slightest. As she grew older, she became even more domineering, doing whatever she wanted.

Dongfang Bubai was extremely strict with the heroes of the martial world. If they displeased him even slightly, he would withhold the antidote to the Three Corpse Brain-Controlling Pill, always sending Ren Yingying to plead for it and obtain the antidote for them. Not all of them had actually taken the antidote Ren Yingying had obtained. But as long as one person had received her favor, their family, friends, disciples, and allied members would naturally also be indebted to her. This force made it no exaggeration to say that she carried half of the martial world on her shoulders.

However, after meeting Yun Changkong, she felt that the various rumors circulating in the martial arts world damaged her reputation and made her lose face. Furthermore, although Yun Changkong claimed to be beautiful, he was not only unmoved by her beauty but also explicitly stated that she was not enough to win his heart. Ren Yingying, who was arrogant by nature, was thus aroused by resentment.

The saying goes that people share the same heart and the same principles. This mentality is the same as when Yun Changkong sees a "lickspittle" licking someone else.

Furthermore, Ren Yingying's return to Blackwood Cliff this time was met with the "Three Corpse Brain God Pill" from Dongfang Bubai. Ultimately, the cause was most related to Yun Changkong, so naturally she harbored resentment towards him.

But whether she could actually tear Yun Changkong to pieces or dismember him is still unknown.

After all, Yun Changkong didn't actually do anything to him as rumored!

Seeing Ren Yingying's girlish demeanor, Yun Changkong couldn't help but think: "She says that the Holy Maiden is majestic and arrogant, but in reality, she is just a pitiful woman whose fate is not in her own hands."

I suppose she wasn't having an easy time in the Sun Moon Sect either, which is why she came to Luoyang to live in seclusion. But I dragged her into a conflict that wasn't hers to handle, and I even watched her humiliate herself. That's truly shameful."

Feeling disheartened, he sighed and said, "Alright, now that we've laid everything out, I won't pursue the matter of you trying to kill me."

As for you being poisoned by the Three Corpse Brain God Pill, that's alright. Once we capture Yang Lianting, it won't be difficult to obtain the antidote formula."

Ren Yingying was taken aback, thinking to herself, "You make it sound so easy to say you'll capture Yang Lianting."

But then I thought, "His nonchalant attitude makes me seem petty, while I take it so seriously!"

However, given her temperament, she wouldn't allow herself to change her mind so easily.

Lan Fenghuang said, "That man surnamed Yang won't come down from Blackwood Cliff, what can I do? Besides..." At this point, she showed a hint of sadness and shook her head.

She knew that if Yun Changkong followed the Holy Maiden to Blackwood Cliff, capturing Yang Lianting would be easy, but extremely dangerous.

After all, on Blackwood Cliff, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, even if you surpass Dongfang Bubai, those tens of thousands of followers can still tear the intruder apart.

Yun Changkong was well aware of this principle. In the original story, Ren Woxing and others killed Dongfang Bubai and quickly stabilized the situation because Ren Woxing was the former leader of the sect, and many elders had been subdued by him in advance.

That was a natural outcome; if it were me, it would be absolutely impossible. Challenging Dongfang Bubai at Blackwood Cliff would have been suicidal.

Because once you get there, even if you don't want to fight anymore, you have nowhere to run.

Ren Yingying calmed herself down and slowly said, "Phoenix, you don't need to worry about me. Actually, Yun Changkong is right. It's not entirely his fault that I ate the Three Corpse Brain God Pill!"

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "I knew it. Tell me, what is the reason?"

Seeing his curious expression, Ren Yingying glared at him and said loudly, "Are you really that curious? Did you come all the way to Wubagang just to see me make a fool of myself?"

Yun Changkong was taken aback, thinking to himself, "Does this woman also know how to read minds?"

Lan Fenghuang knew that Yun Changkong had only come to see Ren Yingying make a scene, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Wubagang. She smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Anger is bad for your health. Even if you're angry at yourself, it's not good. Why would you be angry?"

Ren Yingying gave a bitter smile: "When I returned to Blackwood Cliff this time, I happened to arrive just as the sect was holding its opening ceremony. Yang Lianting said that Uncle Xiang was plotting to betray the sect..."

"The Right Envoy has betrayed the religion?" Blue Phoenix exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that utter nonsense?"

Ren Yingying nodded and said, "Uncle Xiang was an old acquaintance of my father when he was in power. He has always been at odds with Yang Lianting, and the situation within the sect is very different now. Everyone showers Dongfang Bubai with flattery, it's nauseating."

Last spring, I asked my nephew, Green Bamboo Elder, to accompany me on a scenic trip, both to avoid the trouble of disciplining him and to spare me the shameless words I'd utter to Dongfang Bubai. Unexpectedly, he's now issued the Blackwood Decree, ordering me back to Blackwood Cliff, and even…”

As he spoke, he raised his sleeve, wiped his face, paused, and said, "I didn't expect that the main altar was announcing the crimes of Uncle Xiang and his accomplices. I pleaded for Uncle Xiang and the others, but unexpectedly, the man surnamed Yang imprisoned Uncle Xiang, killed several people, and made me take the 'Three Corpse Brain God Pill,' saying that I was too young and easily bewitched. He told me to take the pill to calm my mind. Dongfang Bubai just watched without saying a word, but there were axemen all around, so I had no choice but to take it."

Lan Fenghuang sighed and said, "Actually, the Eastern Cult Leader had always wanted to eliminate dissidents, so he just found an excuse." She paused and said, "As long as you take the Three Corpse Brain God Pill, that Yang guy will no longer be afraid of you causing trouble. Regardless of whether you have a relationship with my elder brother, you are indeed blaming him wrongly."

Ren Yingying said solemnly, "You're saying I'm wrong?"

Lan Fenghuang said in a flustered manner, "It was my moment of panic, I was wrong..."

Yun Changkong interrupted, "She ate the Three Corpse Brain God Pill, that's just the natural order of things, why are you apologizing to her?"

Ren Yingying's eyebrows furrowed with anger as she stared at Yun Changkong and said in a deep voice, "If you intend to mock me, then you will only suffer five steps of bloodshed!"

Yun Changkong smiled and said, "At first I wanted to make fun of you, but now I'm talking to you about the principles of nature and humanity!"
"Tell me, has your father, Ren Woxing, ever fed anyone the Three Corpse Brain-Controlling Pill? Who did Dongfang Bubai learn it from?"

Ren Yingying blushed as if burned, and stammered, "What, what do you mean?"

Yun Changkong snorted: "Others may submit, so why can't you? What do you have that others don't?"
Hmph, besides, you, Ren Yingying, are beautiful, but your name seems rather unlucky.

So even if you're a princess of the Sun Moon Cult, and you finally meet a lover, but he still has someone else in his heart, that's the greatest fairness from heaven. Don't you understand?

Lan Fenghuang glared at him and said in a reproachful tone, "What do you know? What's wrong with the name 'Ren Yingying'? What do you mean by 'unlucky'!"

Yun Changkong said, "As the saying goes, fullness leads to loss, and prosperity leads to decline. Miss Ren is exceptionally beautiful, intelligent, skilled in martial arts, and powerful. Therefore, she is destined to be envied by the heavens and suffer a tragic fate."

Her surname was Ren, yet she named herself Yingying, which is just letting herself be full of herself. Fortunately, fate was kind to you, allowing you to meet Linghu Chong, a traitor to your sect.

As the saying goes, "Great fullness appears empty," so although your relationship isn't a great choice, let alone a perfect match, it can still bring you good fortune. This is the unpredictable principle of fate; learn from it!

Ren Yingying trembled upon hearing this, but quickly regained her composure and said, "Playing tricks and turning misfortune into good fortune? If what you say is true, then Linghu Chong won't die?"

Yun Changkong sighed, "You really are a romantic. Instead of asking yourself if the Three Corpse Brain God Pill can resolve this, you asked Linghu Chong. Tsk tsk, I have to say, I'm quite envious of that kid."

Upon hearing this, Ren Yingying's face showed displeasure, and she looked at Lan Fenghuang.

Lan Fenghuang showed no anger, but smiled gracefully and said, "The Holy Maiden is so beautiful that no man would not want to win your favor."

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "That's true, but it's a pity. Once a woman like you falls in love, she'll never forget you. Otherwise, I could be like Tian Boguang, that wouldn't be so bad!"

"Pah, pah, pah!" Ren Yingying's face suddenly flushed red, and she said loudly, "You are also a fine young man, yet you want to learn from a villain like Tian Boguang. Aren't you afraid of losing your dignity?"

"Indeed!" Lan Fenghuang laughed, "If you become a flower thief, the martial world will likely be in turmoil from now on. No one, not even Zuo Lengchan, could cause as much harm to the martial world as you!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Changkong chuckled and said, "Miss Ren, if Tian Boguang hadn't died and had instead become friends with Linghu Chong, would you still have said those words? I'm afraid you would still be protecting the flower thief at every turn."

Ren Yingying blushed even more deeply and retorted, "You're talking nonsense!"

Yun Changkong laughed, "Very well, I regret letting a woman befriend a womanizer." He thought to himself, "Damn it, why did I let Tian Boguang do this ahead of time? It would be much more interesting if he befriended Linghu Chong and then bullied this woman!"

Seeing the change in his expression, Ren Yingying frowned and asked, "What bad thing are you thinking about?"

Yun Changkong was taken aback at first, then laughed and said, "I was thinking, why are you so stubborn? This has made me competitive, and I seem to have become even more jealous of Linghu Chong. I said some bad things. You wretched thing, you've really hindered my cultivation! Amitabha!"

As he spoke, he clasped his hands together, looking just like a virtuous and eminent monk, radiating divine light.

He was an open and honest person, and there was nothing he couldn't say. Since he felt that he shouldn't have been the one being pursued by Ren Yingying, he called her a simp and said it out loud. As for whether it was shameful, he didn't consider that at all.

That's what Yun Changkong thinks, says, and does!

Suddenly, Ren Yingying added, "According to you, Young Master Linghu will be alright."

Yun Changkong smiled slightly and said, "Of course. Don't forget, Lady Ning and Yue Buqun are not on the same side. She knows that Shaolin internal energy can save Linghu Chong, and she took Linghu Chong away after he was expelled from the sect. Do you think she will go to Shaolin Temple?"

Lan Fenghuang nodded and said, "Yes, Yue Buqun has been pressuring Linghu Chong, while Lady Ning has been protecting him."

Ren Yingying said, "What if Zuo Lengchan really believes you and tries to ambush us on the way?"

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "Sure enough, women in love are all fools. If Zuo Lengchan believed me so easily, there was no need to test me just now."

Ren Yingying fell silent for a moment, then her face suddenly turned red. Seeing that her jaw was clenched and her breath was incredibly weak, Lan Fenghuang said, "Holy Maiden, you should heal your injuries first. We will protect you."

"Well, thank you."

Ren Yingying leaned against the tree trunk, closed her eyes, and made a hand seal with her right thumb, index finger, and middle finger, remaining motionless in that spot.

Yun Changkong thought to himself, "Her method of meditation is different from the orthodox internal energy sitting cross-legged." Thinking this, he also sat cross-legged, circulating his true energy along the Ren and Du meridians throughout his body.

He had injured the old man last night, which had depleted his vital energy. That's why Zuo Lengchan sensed something was wrong as soon as he opened his mouth, and that's why he made a move to test him. Yun Changkong knew exactly what was going on.

The leader of the Blue Phoenix Sect naturally understood this as well, which is why he directly killed Tan Diren of the Kunlun Sect. He did not want to show weakness and was afraid that Zuo Lengchan would see through his scheme.

……

While Yun Changkong and the others were recuperating, Zuo Lengchan and the others had already descended from Wubagang.

Zhong Zhen said, "Senior brother, let's go and wipe out the Huashan Sect!"

Zuo Lengchan said with some regret, "Destroying the Huashan Sect is easy, and killing Linghu Chong is even easier. But we know that Linghu Chong learned Feng Qingyang's Dugu Nine Swords. If we kill his successor and that old man comes out, I'm afraid it will be a loss for us!"

Teng Bagong said, "What does Yun Changkong mean by this? He's trying to incite us with his words!"

Tang Ying'e said, "Could it be that they really just want to watch the show?"

"What do you mean?" Le Hou and the others asked in unison.

Tang Ying'e said, "He said something about Linghu Chong being limitless, but if he wanted to take Linghu Chong's life, why would he need to talk so much? We have many disciples, so we are inevitably a little wary of Feng Qingyang, but he is all alone and possesses such martial arts skills, so why should he be afraid of an old man?"

Zuo Lengchan nodded and said, "Junior Brother's words make sense. Yun Changkong may seem young, but I always feel that he is a man who has experienced the ways of the world. He doesn't care about any martial arts world, fame, or prestige. So he kills people from our righteous sects and people from the demonic sects and unorthodox sects. He is not afraid of offending anyone. How else can we explain his actions if he is not interested in anything and just plays around in the mortal world?"

After thinking for a while, they all nodded.

Tang Ying'e said, "Senior brother, what should we do next? Please advise."

Zuo Lengchan pondered and said, "Yue Buqun is using the excuse of sightseeing to actually go to Fuzhou. That old man must be after the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual. We must keep a close watch on his and Lin Pingzhi's every move and not allow any mistakes!"

Tang Ying'e said, "I have already instructed Bu Chen and Sha Tianjiang to disguise themselves and follow the Huashan Sect. Please rest assured, Senior Brother."

Zuo Lengchan's eyes were sharp as he coldly said, "Yue Buqun is known as the Gentleman Sword, but I think he is just a hypocrite. In order to obtain the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual, he secretly separated Linghu Chong and his daughter, so as to use a beauty trap to win over Lin Pingzhi."

Now, to protect his own reputation and avoid giving others any ammunition against him, he actually expelled the disciple he raised himself, whom he claimed to regard as his own son, from the school. Heh, this man's ruthlessness is evident.

If Lin Pingzhi hadn't possessed such a fierce temperament despite his low martial arts skills, I wouldn't have wanted to keep him alive for even a moment. But precisely because of this, remember, as long as the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual hasn't appeared, don't alert him! Once it appears, we must obtain it, even if it costs us our lives.”

"Yes!" Tang Ying'e accepted the order and left. (End of Chapter)
