The Prodigal Disciple of Mount Hua: Seizing All Opportunities

Just then, a voice announced from outside the door:

"Yun Shaohua, the young master of the Diancang Sect, requests an audience!"

Everyone's eyes turned towards the doorway.

A handsome young man dressed in white stepped in.

Behind him followed Elder Yun Chuan, whose face was cold and stern.

As soon as Yun Shaohua entered the room, his gaze swept across the entire room before finally settling on Yue Lingshan, who had just arrived at the door.

He smiled and nodded to the young woman, appearing every inch the gentleman, and then bowed deeply to Yue Buqun.

"Junior Yun Shaohua greets Sect Leader Yue and all seniors."

Yue Buqun forced a smile: "Nephew, please take a seat."

Yun Shaohua's face showed a hint of embarrassment: "I have something to report here. Yesterday, my disciples saw some things in the city. It concerns the reputation of the Huashan Sect, and I originally dared not say anything, but hearing how anxious Master Dingyi was, I was afraid of causing a greater misunderstanding, so..."

"What did you see? Tell me quickly!" Master Dingyi was an impatient person and couldn't stand this.

Yun Shaohua sighed: "This junior saw... Young Master Linghu seemed to be leading a young nun into... into the 'Jade Garden'."

"Qunyu Garden?"

Master Dingyi was taken aback. She was not a local and was not familiar with the name of such a brothel.

Liu Zhengfeng, who had been sitting silently, murmured, "That's the biggest brothel in Hengyang City..."

"What?"

Master Dingyi felt a rush of blood to her head and almost fainted.

brothel!

Disciples of the prestigious Hengshan Sect, monks and nuns, were actually led into such a filthy place!

"Yue Buqun!"

Master Dingyi swung her whisk sharply and angrily pointed it at the head of the Huashan Sect.

"This is your good disciple! This is the 'top disciple of Mount Hua' you've trained! Leading monks to brothels!"

Yue Buqun's expression was also extremely unpleasant at this moment.

He never expected that Linghu Chong would cause him such a huge mess!

Bringing a young nun into a brothel is not easy to explain.

"Master, please calm down! There must be more to this than meets the eye!" Ning Zhongze simply couldn't believe that Linghu Chong would do such a thing.

"Hidden secrets? What hidden secrets could there be? The facts are all there, what else is there to say! Does the Diancang Sect think they're lying?"

Yun Shaohua sighed, "I find it unbelievable too. Although I've heard that Brother Linghu is a womanizer, he should know his limits. Perhaps... perhaps he was coerced by Tian Boguang? Or perhaps... he was drunk and confused for a moment?"

These words seem to be an attempt to exonerate Linghu Chong, but whether he was confused or forced by Tian Boguang is no longer important.

"Let's go! To Qunyu Garden!"

Master Dingyi could no longer contain herself: "I want to see what that bastard Linghu Chong is up to!"

Seeing this, how could everyone remain seated? They all stood up and followed.

Yue Buqun took a deep breath.

"Walk!"

He coldly uttered a single word, and led the Huashan Sect members to follow.

……

Qunyu Garden.

Even during the day, the place is still filled with the scent of cosmetics.

At this moment, the tranquility of this peaceful haven was shattered by a group of menacing martial arts practitioners.

"search!"

At Master Dingyi's command, the nuns of the Hengshan Sect rushed into the building.

The madam was terrified and tried to stop them, but was forced back by the gaze of Abbess Dingyi.

Not long after, a gasp came from a luxurious private room on the second floor.

The crowd surged into the room.

On the large bed, Linghu Chong lay unconscious, his body reeking of alcohol and blood.

Meanwhile, the young nun Yilin was huddled in the corner of the bed, her hands tightly gripping the blanket, her face pale, clearly terrified.

"Yilin!"

When Master Dingyi saw this scene, her heart broke.

She had always shown favoritism towards this disciple.

She rushed over and hugged her apprentice tightly, crying, "That beast... what did that beast do to you?!"

"Master..." Yilin burst into tears, "Brother Linghu...Brother Linghu did it to save me..."

"Save you?" Abbess Dingyi pointed at the unconscious Linghu Chong, her face full of suspicion. "Save you in a place like this? Save you and you're covered in the smell of alcohol?"

"No! That's not how it is!" Yilin cried as she explained, trying to clarify the whole story.

But with the crowd so agitated, who had the mind to listen to a little nun's explanation?

In addition, Yilin was not a talkative person to begin with, and when she was frightened by others, she became even more taciturn and dared not speak.

To make matters worse, a disciple of the Taishan Sect discovered a black token in a corner of the room.

"Master! Look what this is!"

Tianmen Daoist took the token and his expression changed drastically: "Blackwood Token! Demonic Sect!"

These words shocked everyone in the room.

Demonic Cult!

How could there be anything from the Demonic Cult here?

Yun Shaohua murmured from the side, "I've heard that Tian Boguang has been getting very close to the Demonic Sect lately... Now that this token has appeared here, could it be...?"

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present understood.

Linghu Chong not only colluded with lecherous thieves, but may also have colluded with the evil cult!

That's a really serious crime!

Yue Buqun looked at the token and felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.

It’s over.

Regardless of whether Linghu Chong did it or someone deliberately framed him.

This single charge of colluding with the demonic sect is enough to ruin the Huashan Sect's century-old reputation.

……

Inside the main hall of the Liu residence.

Linghu Chong, who had been in a coma, finally woke up.

Before he could figure out what was going on, he was met with Yue Buqun's angry face.

"Traitor! Kneel down!"

Yue Buqun roared angrily.

Linghu Chong instinctively knelt down.

"Master...this..."

"Linghu Chong, are you still a righteous disciple?" Abbess Dingyi spoke first, "Speak! Are you colluding with that lecherous scoundrel Tian Boguang? Are you secretly working with the Demonic Sect?"

Linghu Chong looked bewildered: "Master, what do you mean? I... I only did it to save Junior Sister Yilin..."

"Still trying to argue!"

Just then, a loud shout came from outside the door:

"Brother Fei from the Songshan Sect has arrived!"

Everyone turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a smile on his lips leading a dozen or so disciples of Songshan dressed in yellow robes striding in.

It was Fei Bin, the master of Songyang.

As soon as Fei Bin entered the room, his gaze was fixed on Linghu Chong on the ground.

"How lively!" Fei Bin smiled and cupped his hands in greeting. "Senior Brother Yue, I heard your good disciple got into some trouble, and Alliance Leader Zuo specially ordered me to come and assist you!"

Yue Buqun's heart sank.

The fact that the Songshan Sect arrived so quickly clearly indicates that they were well-prepared.

"Junior Brother Fei, this matter has not yet been investigated..."

"What else is there to investigate?" Fei Bin interrupted him, pulling out a command flag from his robes. "The Five Mountains Alliance Leader's order is here! The Left Alliance Leader has decreed: Any disciple of the Five Mountains Sword Sect who colludes with the Demonic Sect will be executed without mercy! Linghu Chong and Tian Boguang are in cahoots, and there is the Black Wood Token as proof—the evidence is irrefutable!"

He waved his hand dismissively: "Guards! Seize Linghu Chong and bring him back for questioning!"

"yes!"

Several disciples from Songshan rushed towards Linghu Chong.

"Wait!"

Ning Zhongze drew her sword and stood in front of Linghu Chong, saying, "Let's see who dares! Chong'er is a disciple of my Huashan Sect. Even if he is guilty, it should be dealt with by my Huashan Sect. It's not your Songshan Sect's place to overstep its bounds!"

"Miss Ning, this is not up to you," Fei Bin sneered. "The Five Mountains Alliance are of one spirit and one branch; the Alliance Leader's order is an ironclad one. Senior Brother Yue, do you intend to disobey?"

With this serious accusation leveled against him, Yue Buqun's face turned extremely ugly.

If he were to protect his own, he would be openly defying the leader's order and giving Zuo Lengchan an excuse.

Although there are many suspicious points in this matter, even if I wanted to speak up for Linghu Chong, it would take time.

But the Songshan Sect arrived too quickly.

But if we don't protect...

The morale of the Huashan Sect collapsed.

"Uncle Fei is so imposing!"

Yang Guo, who had been standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back any longer: "What kind of bullshit Alliance Leader's Order is this! You're arresting people without even understanding the situation? Are you Songshan Sect bandits?"

"You little beast, who gave you the right to speak here!" Fei Bin's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he raised his hand to strike Yang Guo with a palm.

"Stop!" Yue Buqun swayed and stood in front of Yang Guo, taking the blow.

"Bang!"

Both of them compromised.

"Yue Buqun! Are you really going to protect these traitors?"

Yue Buqun took a deep breath, glanced at Linghu Chong behind him, and then at the various sect leaders watching the spectacle around him.

Tianmen Daoist remained expressionless, Liu Zhengfeng remained silent, and although Abbess Dingyi was furious, she seemed to understand something and did not seize the opportunity to cause trouble.

Elder Yun Chuan of the Diancang Sect spoke up: "Sect Leader Yue, as the saying goes, the innocent are innocent. If Young Hero Linghu is truly innocent, what harm is there in going? If you insist on stopping him, it only makes you seem guilty."

Yue Buqun's heart sank little by little.

Well, we can only see if we can remedy the situation afterward.

"Junior Brother Fei... you can take him away. But if I find out you tortured him into confessing..."

"Senior brother!" Ning Zhongze exclaimed in disbelief.

"Shut up!" Yue Buqun roared.

What can he do?

He had no choice but to endure it!

Fei Bin laughed triumphantly, "Hahaha! Senior Brother Yue is indeed sensible! Guards, take him away!"

The disciples of Mount Song approached Linghu Chong.

Linghu Chong sighed and closed his eyes.

This is clearly a trap set against the Huashan Sect.

But his master actually abandoned him.
