Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 281 Murder Case, Suspect Yue Buqun!
Feng Qingyang is a "Gold Medal Quality Inspector"!
If you suspect that there are flaws in your martial arts or weaknesses in your moves, then challenge Feng Qingyang to a fight.

Feng Qingyang will use his decades of martial arts experience and mastery of the Dugu Nine Swords to help you find weaknesses.

Of course, there are two prerequisites.

First, make Feng Qingyang show himself!
Second, don't let Feng Qingyang kill you with a single sword strike!

Li Zhaoting and others are clearly capable of doing these things.

Li Zhaoting and Feng Qingyang fought for six or seven hundred moves. When Feng Qingyang's old bones were about to fall apart, Li Zhaoting took the initiative to sheathe his sword and gave him a wink. Lan Fenghuang promptly delivered some tonics to Feng Qingyang to nourish his body.

The next step is:
"This junior, Feng Suzhen, is skilled in swordsmanship. I would like to ask Senior Feng for guidance on the moves. Also, does the Dugu Nine Swords have a sound-breaking technique? Can it break the Lion's Roar?"

"This junior, Lan Fenghuang, is skilled in whip techniques. I have heard that the Dugu Nine Swords has a move called the Rope-Breaking Technique, which can break all whip, rope, and ribbon-like moves. I would like to ask Senior Feng for guidance."

"I am Wang Shenglan, the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect. I am skilled in the Overlord Spear. I have heard that the Dugu Nine Swords has a spear-breaking technique that can break all spear techniques. I would like to ask Senior Feng for guidance."

"Junior Li Zhaoting, I've finished resting!"

Feng Qingyang felt an urge to flip the table!
Do you, your family, have even the slightest bit of humanity? I'm almost eighty years old! Being your family's sparring partner in turn, my bones are about to fall apart!
One swordsman with divine skill and exceptional stamina could easily engage in hundreds of intense battles and exchange over a thousand blows.

A master of the Demon-Subduing Zither can use sword energy to produce music that stirs up inner demons, causing this old man great distress.

One of them was covered in poison from head to toe. He stood two zhang away and whipped the other person mercilessly. The whip was covered in hidden weapons!
A person born with superhuman strength, possessing profound skills, whose every move is courageous, powerful, and indestructible!

I am an octogenarian!
Surely at least two of you are scholars?

Do you know what "respecting the elderly and caring for the young" means?

There's no need to complain like that.

First of all, Mei Zhu did not make a move.

Secondly, Jiang Yuyan did not make a move.

Finally, the tonic provided by Lan Fenghuang was enough to buy back the ancestral home in Chaoyang Peak, along with the land, three times over.

The elderly need companionship.

What's the point of living if an elderly person is left all alone in a cave, going in and out of the house all by themselves?
Li Zhaoting is quick-witted and resourceful, Feng Suzhen is erudite and eloquent, Lan Fenghuang is charming and innocent, and Miss Wang is straightforward; all of them are good at coaxing the elderly.

After fighting for so long, if the masters of the Huashan Sect hadn't discovered it, Huashan might as well disband.

People from all five peaks and five branches came to watch the battle.

Xianyu Tong was somewhat relieved, thinking that Li Zhaoting had come to challenge Feng Qingyang to a sword duel, hoping to climb higher by stepping on the shoulders of his senior, and was definitely not targeting him.

Mu Renqing sighed. His disciples were either reckless and belligerent or became constables in the Six Doors. Only his eldest disciple, Huang Zhen, was left, and he feared it would be difficult for him to inherit the lineage.

Yue Buqun's eyes gleamed. He didn't ask Feng Qingyang to teach him any unique sword techniques; he only asked that Feng Qingyang remain neutral. As long as Feng Qingyang didn't help the Sword Sect, everything would be fine.

Feng Buping angrily banged his head against the wall. "Feng Qingyang is an elder of the Sword Sect, their own elder. Why won't he pass on his swordsmanship to us? Uncle Feng! We're family! How can you help an outsider?"
How should I describe this?
When Feng Qingyang looked at Yue Buqun's lineage, he cursed and swore, but at least he was willing to say a few words of criticism and offer some pointers on sword techniques.

When Feng Qingyang looked at Feng Buping's lineage, he treated it like a pile of dog shit. He would glance at it and turn away without even thinking of cursing. Feng Buping and his ilk were not worthy of being cursed!

Li Zhaoting sneered inwardly. It seemed that his deduction was correct. The scheme against Feng Qingyang back then was not only the work of the Qi Sect, but the Sword Sect was also involved.

Jade Maiden Peak was probably involved as well.

The reason is simple: Feng Qingyang's martial arts skills are too high.

If Feng Qingyang were allowed to remain in the Huashan Sect, even if he did nothing, his mere "existence" would be enough to influence the sect's management and cause Jade Maiden Peak to be constantly hampered.

To put it more cynically, if Feng Qingyang had become famous throughout the world with his Zixia Divine Skill and Qingfeng Thirteen Styles, Jade Maiden Peak might have been able to tolerate it. However, Feng Qingyang became famous with the Dugu Nine Swords. To make matters worse, the Huashan Sect is the leader of the seven major sword sects and must maintain the status of the Qingfeng Thirteen Styles in Huashan. They would definitely scheme against Feng Qingyang.

Feng Qingyang had already figured these things out.

The more this happens, the more depressed I feel.

Being outmaneuvered by the Qi Sect can be described as the enemy's despicable act.

What else is there to say after being outmaneuvered by the Sword Sect?

For the next two days, Li Zhaoting pestered Feng Qingyang every day to spar with him in swordsmanship, which put the Huashan group at ease.

As long as they're not here to cause trouble!

I hope no one from the Huashan Sect dies!
……

"Ah! Someone's dead! Someone's dead!"

A piercing scream echoed from Lotus Peak.

Fifteen minutes later, everyone gathered at Lotus Peak.

Deceased: Feng Buping, Cong Buqi!

Cause of death: He was struck in the chest, and a chilling, malevolent energy coursed through his body, freezing his internal organs.

Time of death: No more than one hour.

Yue Buqun, Mu Renqing, Xianyu Tong and others all looked at Li Zhaoting. Even Lan Fenghuang and Miss Wang showed bitter expressions with a half-smile. Their husbands' fierce reputation had now been completely confirmed.

Li Zhaoting calmly performed the autopsy.

"Master Li, do you have any leads?"

Yue Buqun forced a smile.

They are not good at investigating cases.

To solve the case, we can only rely on Li Zhaoting.

Feng Buping's assassination at Mount Hua was a slap in the face for the Mount Hua Sect, and if the murderer was not caught in time, their prestige would be greatly diminished.

Of course, the Huashan Sect is known for its daily bombshell revelations.

If it weren't for the exquisite nature of the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng, coupled with Feng Qingyang's intimidation, it wouldn't have been long before the Songshan Sect launched an attack on the throne of the Seven Great Sword Sects. Li Zhaoting nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, Feng Buping and Cong Buqi died at the hands of the same person. The master who killed them was proficient in the Asura Yin Sha Gong."

What kind of technique is the Asura Yin Sha Gong?

Yue Lingshan asked instinctively.

"The Asura Yin Sha Technique is the peerless demonic art that the great demon Qiao Beiming used to sweep across the world. It can cultivate extremely Yin and evil Qi within the body. When a palm strikes an enemy, the Yin and evil Qi is like a bone-deep carbuncle that can never be removed."

"So awesome!"

Yue Lingshan subconsciously leaned towards He Yuntian.

He Yuntian's face turned ashen. He guessed that this was definitely not a sudden incident, but rather someone had hired someone to kill him.

He Yuntian even guessed that this was an assassination attempt targeting the five peaks and five lineages of the Huashan Sect, and the next target...

I need to keep a close eye on Li Zhaoting lately.

No one can kill someone under Li Zhaoting's nose.

Li Zhaoting laughed and said, "Most of the evil and unorthodox martial arts come at a price. The Yin and evil energy of the Asura Yin Sha Gong is too vicious. After practicing it to the seventh level, it will gradually produce backlash. If you break through to the eighth level, you will definitely suffer from qi deviation. Reaching the ninth level is almost impossible!"

He Yuntian asked, "Master Li, approximately how many levels of cultivation does the murderer's Asura Yin Sha Technique possess?"

"The lowest level is the eighth heaven!"

"what?"

"Being possessed by demonic possession can be cured. There are two solutions. One is to use drugs to stimulate the body and use the principle of 'extremes meet' to break through the eighth level of the body with highly toxic substances. This method is extremely dangerous and has a success rate of no more than 10%."

Another method is the orthodox path, which uses the authentic Qi cultivation methods of the Xuanmen sect to harmonize the Yin and evil Qi. This not only avoids going astray in Qi cultivation but also allows one to go further and enter the realm of ultimate Yin, making the body as strong as Vajra.

Analyzing from this perspective, the murderer should have obtained the "Purple Cloud Divine Skill" of the Huashan Sect. He used the Purple Cloud True Qi to harmonize the evil energy. He didn't need much; just one or two layers of the technique would be enough. You can verify this yourselves!

One last thing... never mind! I'm not going to say anything more!

You should be able to figure it out!

If you can't understand it, you don't need to know it!

Li Zhaoting turned and left, returning to Chaoyang Peak.

Yue Buqun and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Li Zhaoting's meaning is clear: the murderer was hired by a high-ranking member of the Huashan Sect to kill Feng Buping, using the "Zixia Divine Skill" as payment. Afterwards, whoever benefits the most will be the murderer!
Everyone instinctively looked at Yue Buqun.

The Purple Cloud Divine Skill was kept closely by Yue Buqun.

The Qi Sect and the Sword Sect are sworn enemies.

In addition, Li Zhaoting has been staying at Chaoyang Peak for the past few days, and his whereabouts have been kept under the control of Yue Buqun.

It's so convenient for Yue Buqun to hire someone to kill someone!

Even Yue Buqun himself felt that he might be the murderer, but he was not.

What are you looking at me for? It wasn't me!

"Who else could it be but you? You've always kept the Purple Cloud Divine Skill safe. You deeply hate Senior Brother Feng. You had someone keep an eye on Li Zhaoting's whereabouts and, while Li Zhaoting was away, you had someone assassinate Senior Brother Feng. What's so strange about that!"

Cheng Buyou glared angrily at Yue Buqun. If his martial arts skills were not far inferior to Yue Buqun's, he would have drawn his sword and fought him long ago!
Of the three elders of the Sword Sect, Feng Buping was relatively more intelligent, and Cong Buqi listened to Feng Buping.

Cheng Buyou is arrogant, narrow-minded, violent, and bloodthirsty. He is best at hindering others, and the decline of the Sword Sect in recent years is largely due to Cheng Buyou's actions.

Yue Buqun sneered: "Every peak master can learn the triple Purple Cloud Divine Skill, can't you? Now that Junior Brother Feng has been killed, you have become the Sword Sect leader. You are the one who benefits the most. I think you are the murderer!"

Cheng Buyou roared, "Yue Buqun, you damn hypocrite, you son of a bitch! I will definitely avenge Senior Brother Feng, I will make you pay with your life!"

With that, Cheng Buyou turned and left.

He went to plead with Feng Qingyang, hoping that Feng Qingyang would take pity on Feng Buping and avenge him, out of consideration for the ties to the Sword Sect!

Since things had come to this point, the withered plum tree had no choice but to reveal itself.

Looking at the corpses of Feng Buping and Cong Buqi, Ku Mei sighed and asked, "Fellow disciples, haven't you learned enough from the lesson of fratricide?"

Yue Lingshan retorted angrily, "What do you mean? Do you think my father is the murderer! I knew it, you're very dissatisfied with my father keeping the Zixia Divine Skill. You think that as the head of the Huashan Sect, everything belongs to you..."

"Nonsense! Speak like an adult! How dare you, a junior, speak like that! Junior Brother Yue, everyone says you are a gentleman, gentle and refined, how can your daughter be so ill-mannered? Have you forgotten the rules of the Huashan Sect?"

Ku Mei stared intently at Yue Buqun with her single eye.

The withered plum tree has only one eye.

That eye is terrifying.

Yue Buqun explained in a deep voice, "Senior Sister Kumei, I have not been strict with my family and you have seen this as a laughing stock. I apologize to you, but I am definitely not the murderer!"

"Junior Brother Yue, you have three days. If you cannot find the murderer within three days, for the sake of Mount Hua's dignity, regardless of whether you are the murderer or not, I will have to consider you the murderer!"

Ku Mei smirked. Feng Buping's assassination was a good thing for Ku Mei.

Ku Mei took the opportunity to strike at the Sword Qi Sect and the other two sects. Mu Renqing's disciples were dwindling, and Xian Yutong was obsequious. This was the perfect opportunity to reunite the five sects and five branches of the Huashan Sect.

Whether Yue Buqun was wronged or not is not important!
People from the underworld don't rely on evidence when solving cases.

They only believe in the motives behind the murders, in unfounded rumors, and in the transactions of mutual benefit.

"Three days! You only have three days!"

Ku Mei left, carrying her dragon-headed walking stick.

Yue Buqun's expression shifted between light and dark.

Ku Mei clearly wanted to take this opportunity to frame him, and no matter how much Yue Buqun backed down, Ku Mei would not stop!
