The Prodigal Disciple of Mount Hua: Seizing All Opportunities

The torrential rain in Hengyang City intensified.

Chen Qianyang followed Fei Bin through the alley.

The disciples of the Songshan Sect remained hidden in the darkness behind them, but maintained an encirclement.

Chen Qianyang appeared drunk and unsteady on his feet.

In reality, thanks to the ability of "Sword Heart Clarity", he had already memorized the surrounding terrain and the distribution of sentries.

It's a big gamble.

He used himself as bait to lure out Zuo Lengchan, this big fish.

Although his current strength makes the outcome against Zuo Lengchan uncertain.

However, it's likely that Zuo Lengchan's strength is only one level higher than that of Tianmen Daoist, Master Mo, and others.

After all, in the original work, Zuo Lengchan's strength lay in his wisdom and cunning, not in his martial arts prowess.

He had anticipated the attack but was caught off guard, relying on the surprise attack power of the Dugu Nine Swords.

As long as Zuo Lengchan dares to show himself, he will have a chance to find a weakness and kill him in one blow!

He was about 40-50% confident.

It's not high, but it's enough.

As long as Zuo Lengchan dies, his great revenge will be fulfilled.

The situation in Hengyang is bound to change.

Furthermore, my current identity is fake.

If the attack fails, we can simply take the opportunity to escape.

"arrive."

Fei Bin stopped in front of a villa.

This villa is located in a secluded spot in the north of the city.

It's easy to overlook it if you're not specifically looking for it.

There were only two men dressed in black guarding the door.

Upon seeing Fei Bin, the two immediately bowed in greeting.

"Taoist Master, please."

Fei Bin made a "please" gesture.

Chen Qianyang looked up at the gate.

Is this what they call a "dragon's den and tiger's lair"?

Without the slightest hesitation, he strode across the threshold.

The sound of the door slamming shut shut out the sound of the rain outside.

The courtyard was quiet, with only a few lamps casting a dim yellow light under the corridor.

After passing through the front yard, we arrived at a spacious hall.

The hall was brightly lit, but completely empty.

"Where's Zuo Lengchan?" Chen Qianyang casually found a seat and sat down without any regard for being a guest.

"Master, please calm down."

"Slap! Slap!"

As the applause subsided, the screen at the back of the hall slowly moved aside.

A chilling aura instantly filled the entire hall.

Chen Qianyang's eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Behind the screen, a tall figure sat upright in a grand chair.

The man wore a bright yellow robe, had a broad face, thick beard and hair, and his eyes shone brightly with a confident and smug look.

He was just sitting there, and he gave people a sense of awe and awe.

It was none other than Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance and the head of the Songshan Sect!

Behind him stood two men with stern expressions.

One was Ding Mian, the Pagoda-Bearing Hand, and the other was Lu Bai, the Crane-Hand.

With Fei Bin added, the three strongest members of the Thirteen Protectors of Songshan have gathered here!

This was Zuo Lengchan's grand display, and it also showed how much he valued this "Tian Shu Dao Ren".

"Master Tian Shu."

Zuo Lengchan spoke slowly, his voice booming, "I've long admired your name. Meeting you today, I can see you are indeed extraordinary."

His gaze pierced Chen Qianyang's face, as if trying to see right through him.

Chen Qianyang felt a sharp pain on his skin, and his internal energy seemed to stagnate slightly.

What domineering icy true energy!

Zuo Lengchan's strength is even greater than expected!

But he showed no fear on his face, and said lazily:

"Leader Zuo, you must have only recently come to know me by name, right? After all, I'm just a country bumpkin, and I'm a rough fellow who doesn't understand your roundabout ways. Let's get straight to the point."

"Tian Boguang said that your Songshan Sect is plotting something sinister, trying to create conflict at Liu Zhengfeng's retirement banquet, and even claiming that Liu Zhengfeng bought his official position, which was actually fabricated by you. Is this true?"

Lu Bai, standing beside him, wanted to retort immediately, thinking to himself that Tian Boguang had indeed told the old Taoist everything.

Regardless, we must take down this old Taoist priest today.

"Haha, so what if it is?" Zuo Lengchan did not deny it. He slowly stood up and walked down the steps.

With each step, the chill intensified.

"If you wanted to say it, you would have said it long ago. Since you haven't, you must want to talk to me, right?"

Chen Qianyang chuckled and retorted sharply to Zuo Lengchan, "Then we'll have to see how sincere Alliance Leader Zuo is."

"Tell me whatever you need, Taoist priest."

"How about 50,000 taels of silver?"

"What!" Lu Bai and Ding Mian both looked surprised.

Has this old Taoist priest gone mad?

"Wealth is but an external thing. How could a mere fifty thousand taels of silver be worthy of a divine figure like the Taoist priest?"

"Oh? What does Alliance Leader Zuo mean?"

Zuo Lengchan stopped in front of Chen Qianyang, a meaningful smile on his face.

"What I want is the Daoist Master himself."

"Don't be silly, I have no interest in men!"

Zuo Lengchan paused upon hearing this, and it took him a while to react.

He laughed heartily, "Daoist Master is indeed interesting! I mean, Daoist Master's martial arts are unparalleled, and his wisdom is extraordinary. If you could join my Songshan Sect, I would be willing to treat you as the Vice Sect Leader! After the Five Mountains Alliance, Daoist Master would be second only to the leader, above all others! Gold, silver, beautiful women, wealth and glory would be within your grasp!"

Zuo Lengchan spread his arms wide, displaying the boldness and domineering presence of a powerful figure.

"Isn't this better than that little bit of silver?"

Chen Qianyang looked at Zuo Lengchan and sneered inwardly.

Is this an attempt to recruit me?

Zuo Lengchan is indeed a ruthless and ambitious man. If I disagree, I will surely be attacked by the masses.

However, since you insist on acting, I will play along to the very end.

He feigned interest: "That vice sect leader? Is he really that good?"

"That's natural." Zuo Lengchan nodded.

"good!"

Chen Qianyang slapped his thigh and walked towards Zuo Lengchan with a big smile on his face.

"Originally, I had some prejudice against Alliance Leader Zuo, but after meeting him today, I realized that he is such a hero."

Since Alliance Leader Zuo thinks so highly of me, it would be ungrateful of me to refuse! From now on, I will obey any orders from Alliance Leader Zuo.”

He approached Zuo Lengchan with a fawning expression.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The distance is getting shorter.

Zuo Lengchan looked at the approaching old Taoist priest, a hint of contempt flashing deep in his eyes.

The wages of avarice is death.

So-called reclusive masters are nothing more than this.

Lu Bai and the others standing nearby also showed expressions of relief.

I thought this old Taoist was a tough guy, but I didn't expect him to be just like that Yu Jizi.

Chen Qianyang sensed the energy around him.

I knew the opportunity had arrived.

As long as I get within these three steps...

Just as the two were about to be separated by only one step.

An unexpected change occurred!

Chen Qianyang's originally murky and greedy eyes instantly became clear and sharp.

The sharp blade, hidden in its sheath for many years, has finally revealed its edge!

He twirled his broadsword, then unleashed a powerful strike that blocked his view.

Amidst the swirling sword light, a dragon suddenly burst forth without warning!

"Zheng—!!!"

The broadsword was drawn, its killing intent soaring to the sky!

This sword strike was devoid of any fancy moves, only extreme speed and extreme ruthlessness!

That was the [Nine Swords of Dugu], which Chen Qianyang had painstakingly developed over a long period of time!

That was Chen Qianyang's long-awaited, decisive strike, a move he had prepared for all in one fell swoop.

"Zuo Lengchan! Prepare to die!"

As the saying goes, "The true dagger is revealed when the map is unrolled!"
