With the addition of two disciples, who also grew up and became highly skilled in martial arts, Yue Buqun's heart gradually calmed down.
In the past, because of its weak strength, Mount Hua had to be tolerant and low-key in order to survive in the cracks and ensure that its heritage would not be lost.
Now that his strength has grown, he has put down all these burdens, and Yue Buqun can't help but feel relieved. His temperament has also changed a lot. In addition, now that his martial arts have greatly improved, his perspective has changed. Things that he used to have to consider carefully and had to tolerate are now taken lightly. Why would he swallow his anger anymore?
He couldn't help but cup his hands and laugh, "Junior Brother Lu, you flatter me. I certainly don't want to be enemies with Senior Brother Zuo, much less with the Songshan Sect."
Lu Bai said, "If you don't want to be enemies with Mount Song, why are you standing up for Liu Zhengfeng?"
Yue Buqun smiled faintly and said, "Junior brother, you are mistaken. My disciple said long ago that we are not standing up for Junior Brother Liu, but we do not want to harm the innocent or damage the reputation of our Five Mountains Sword Sect in the martial arts world."
Lu Bai said, "Liu Zhengfeng colluded with the Demonic Sect and refused to repent. He should be eradicated to rectify the atmosphere of our Five Mountains Sword Sect."
Yue Buqun asked in surprise, "Junior Brother Lu, how could you have such thoughts? Our Five Mountains Sword Sect has always acted openly and honestly. When have we ever done anything so insidious and vicious?"
"Junior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Zuo probably didn't mean that. You must have misunderstood."
Lu Bai opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
After a moment, looking at Ding Mian who had been subdued, he couldn't help but speak up: "Sect Leader Yue, Mount Hua is also a prestigious sect. Your disciple has actually taken my Senior Brother Ding hostage. This is not the behavior of a gentleman. Are you going to do anything about it?"
Li Mu laughed and said, "Uncle Lu, you're wrong! I'm not holding Uncle Ding hostage. It's just that Uncle Ding is too impulsive. If things go wrong, he might start fighting me again. Let him calm down."
Lu Bai angrily said, "You...you are so eloquent and flattering, you...you have ruined the reputation of my Five Mountains Sword Sect."
Li Mu said, "Uncle Lu, please calm down. Don't make fun of others like a crow."
"You've taken Uncle Liu and his entire family hostage, yet you haven't said anything about corrupting the Five Mountains Sword Sect's reputation. Compared to that, what is my little matter?"
Lu Bai was speechless.
The onlookers also thought it made sense, and many of them immediately turned around and whispered among themselves, occasionally pointing and whispering about the group from Songshan.
Li Mu said, "I think we should all refrain from doing anything that would tarnish the reputation and character of the May Sword Sect."
"Release everyone. Such despicable methods are a disgrace to the Five Mountains Sword Sect."
"Well said, that makes perfect sense." Some people in the crowd couldn't help but shout.
Master Dingyi also spoke up, "Junior Brother Lu, we are all of the same blood and spirit in the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Why can't we talk things out properly? Let's release Junior Brother Liu's family first."
Master Tianmen, the head of the Taishan sect, also began to echo this sentiment.
Lu Bai was stunned. He looked at Fei Bin, then at Ding Mian. After exchanging glances for a moment, Lu Bai said, "My Songshan Sect is a reputable and righteous sect. We would never do anything to bully the elderly, the weak, women, or children. Liu Zhengfeng's family can be released for now."
"However, Liu Zhengfeng's collusion with the Demonic Sect has violated a major taboo of our Five Mountains Sword Sect. Your Huashan Sect will not still protect him, will it?"
Li Mu chuckled and said, "Uncle Lu, rest assured, everything will be handled according to the rules of the martial world. Uncle Liu will still be dealt with by Songshan. We, Huashan, will not interfere."
Lu Bai took a deep breath: "Okay!"
After saying this, he waved his hand, and Liu Zhengfeng's family and disciples were released, and Ding Mian and Fei Bin were also freed.
Things had come to this point, and it seemed that the Songshan Sect had compromised, but Ding Mian, Fei Bin, and the others were seething with anger.
Ding Mian turned to look at Liu Zhengfeng and said with malice, "Liu Zhengfeng, the fact that you colluded with the Demonic Sect is undeniable. Today we will show leniency and not implicate your family, but you still need to give us an explanation."
"I'll ask you one last question: Will you kill Qu Yang or not?"
Liu Zhengfeng sighed and bowed deeply to Li Mu: "Nephew Lin, thank you for your generosity and righteousness today, which saved my family and disciples. I am deeply grateful."
Li Mu said, "Uncle Liu, there's no need to be so polite. I would have intervened whenever I saw such a massacre of women and children."
Liu Zhengfeng bowed deeply to Li Mu again, then turned and bowed deeply to Yue Buqun and the others: "Thank you, Senior Brother Yue and all the heroes, for your righteous words."
"Liu has no one to blame but himself for his current predicament. He should take responsibility for his actions and give everyone an explanation today. I just hope that no innocent people will be implicated."
At this point, he slowly walked to the center of the field, sat down cross-legged, turned his head to look at his wife and children again, gave a bitter smile, raised his palm and slapped himself several times, and a trickle of blood immediately flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Everyone knew that he had shattered his own heart meridian, and once his power dissipated, his life would come to an end.
Everyone was deeply moved by Liu Zhengfeng's resolute spirit. Seeing Liu's children weeping uncontrollably, many turned away, unable to bear the sight.
Liu Zhengfeng looked at everyone with a pale face, shook his head and sighed, "I love music the most in my life. Meeting Brother Qu made me feel that my life was complete. It is a pity that I cannot play a duet with Brother Qu before I die. I regret that this is all I can do."
Suddenly, a figure in black swept down from the eaves, moving like the wind, and grabbed Liu Zhengfeng's left wrist with a single outstretched arm.
"Brother Liu, who says we can't play one more duet? Let's go..."
Liu Zhengfeng exclaimed in delight, "Brother Qu..."
When the crowd heard him call out "Brother Qu," they knew that the man in black was Qu Yang, an elder of the Demonic Sect, and they were all shocked.
Qu Yang shouted, "No need to say more!" He stepped forward and took only three steps before Ding Mian and Lu Bai struck out with four palms at the back of the two men.
Qu Yang shoved Liu Zhengfeng in the back, sending him flying out of the Liu residence. At the same time, he channeled his strength into his back, taking the full force of the combined blows from two masters, Ding Mian and Lu Bai. With a loud bang, Qu Yang spat out a mouthful of blood, using the momentum to fly outwards as well.
At the same time, with a wave of his right hand, a cluster of black needles scattered like rain.
Ding Mian shouted, "Black Blood Divine Needle, dodge quickly!" and hurriedly dodged to the side.
Upon seeing the infamous Black Blood Needle of the Demonic Sect, everyone was terrified, retreating and dodging in a chaotic frenzy.
By the time Ding Mian and the others realized what was happening, Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng had already disappeared.
While sending men to pursue, Ding Mian glanced at Yue Buqun.
"Brother Yue, Liu Zhengfeng has escaped. This is what he meant by giving everyone an explanation."
Yue Buqun sighed softly: "Junior Brother Ding, why keep pressing this matter? You and I both know that Junior Brother Liu's heart meridian has been severed, and he doesn't have many hours left to live. Once his internal energy dissipates, even a god couldn't save him."
"Since he severed his own heart meridian in front of everyone, that can be considered an explanation. What's wrong with playing one last song before he dies? Why bother arguing with a dead man?"
Ding Mian snorted, "He got off too easy."
……
A grand ceremony to retire from the martial arts world ended in this way. Seeing the desolate state of the Liu family mansion, the many heroes dared not linger. With a sigh, they all took their leave.
In the blink of an eye, only the members of the Five Mountains Sword Sect were left to clean up the mess.
Chapter 554 Hengshan Divine Sword
To prevent the Songshan Sect from betraying their promise and killing the elderly and children of the Liu family, Yue Buqun and his wife, along with several disciples, stayed at the Liu residence, while Li Mu secretly followed the direction the Songshan disciples were searching.
He continued on his way, rounded a hill, and suddenly heard a noise in the distance. He used his lightness skill to rush over.
As soon as we got to the vicinity, we could hear sounds coming from afar.
Liu Zhengfeng said, "Hey Fei, you're supposed to be a respectable figure from a reputable sect. My heart meridian is broken, and Brother Qu is seriously injured. Do whatever you want with me, kill me or torture me. What kind of hero are you to bully a little girl?"
"Feifei, run!"
Qu Feiyan said, "I will die with Grandpa and Eunuch Liu; I will never live alone."
Liu Zhengfeng said, "Go, go! What does our adult business have to do with your child?"
Qu Feiyan said, "I'm not leaving!" With two swift movements, she drew two short swords from her waist and rushed forward to block Liu Zhengfeng.
Liu Zhengfeng grabbed Qu Feiyan's arm and said urgently:
"Go quickly, go quickly!"
His heart meridian was severed, and he had little strength left in his hands. Qu Feiyan easily broke free with a gentle struggle.
At that moment, Fei Bin's longsword thrust forward. Qu Feiyan blocked with her left-hand short sword, then thrust her right sword forward. Fei Bin chuckled, spun his longsword, and struck her right-hand short sword with a sharp crack.
Qu Feiyan's right arm went numb and sore, and she felt a sharp pain in the web of her hand. The short sword in her right hand immediately slipped from her grasp.
Fei Bin's longsword flashed and slashed, with a sharp crack, knocking the short sword from Qu Feiyan's left hand, sending it flying several feet away. Fei Bin's longsword was now pointed at her throat, and he laughed at Qu Yang, "Elder Qu, I'll first blind your granddaughter's left eye, then cut off her nose, then cut off both her ears..."
Qu Feiyan cried out and leaped forward, crashing into the longsword. Fei Bin swiftly withdrew his sword, then pointed with his left index finger, causing Qu Feiyan to tumble and fall.
Fei Bin laughed loudly, "These evil heretics have committed countless evils; even if they were to die, it wouldn't be so easy!"
He raised his longsword and thrust it towards Qu Feiyan's left eye.
Just then, a long sword appeared out of nowhere in the air, and with a clear hum, it thrust straight at Fei Bin.
Fei Bin quickly dodged, and just as he turned around to see who dared to ambush him, his expression froze, and he turned around in fright, wanting to run away.
He had experienced Li Mu's prowess firsthand; he was no match for him and dared not make a move.
Fei Bin leaped up, about to escape.
Upon seeing this, Li Mu sneered, thrust his long sword forward, and moved with lightning speed, instantly appearing behind Fei Bin and swiftly stabbing forward with his sword.
Fei Bin reacted extremely quickly; while still in mid-air, he suddenly leaned back and dodged the sword.
Li Mu gave him no chance to catch his breath, and with a hum, he thrust out his long sword again.
Fei Bin had no choice but to turn back and fight back, as there was no way to escape.
Among the Five Sacred Mountains, the Songshan sword style is the most profound and imposing, thus it is characterized by its grand and imposing style, using its power to overwhelm opponents.
Fei Bin wielded his longsword with wide, sweeping strokes, like an iron staff, to meet the attack. The constant buzzing of the sword echoed throughout the room. Although his life was not in danger, he could only parry.
Suddenly, Li Mu let out a clear shout, and his sword flashed. The longsword in his hand transformed into a cold light, pointing straight at Fei Bin's chest. This move was extremely fast, ruthless, and accurate, giving the impression that it was impossible to block or dodge.
Fei Bin was terrified. When Li Mu showed murderous intent, he hurriedly retreated. With a hiss, a long gash was cut into his chest by the sharp sword, his clothes were torn, and his chest muscles were also cut.
Having already achieved his goal with his first sword strike, Li Mu followed up with a continuous barrage of attacks. His long sword, like a serpentine snake, trembled incessantly, weaving through Fei Bin's sword light, forcing Fei Bin to retreat repeatedly, his face growing increasingly fearful.
Seeing Li Mu's sword moves change and become fierce and unpredictable, like a ghost, even though he already knew that Li Mu's martial arts were extremely high, he was still shocked and terrified.
He immediately channeled all his strength, taking advantage of the moment when he was dodging, and bravely endured another sword strike, shouting loudly, "Master Mo... Senior Brother Mo, this Huashan disciple actually knows your Hengshan's unique skills. It must be that Liu Zhengfeng defied the world and secretly taught him. Why did Liu Zhengfeng teach him? He must have colluded with their Huashan Sect."
