Mount Hua is in chaos right now, and Yue Buqun knows he's probably not going to survive. The three people beside him are all from powerful backgrounds, while he's just a nobody without any backing. Grandmaster Murong Bo will definitely choose him, and Yue Buqun can only hope that the Grandmaster will choose to kill his disciple, so that he might be able to escape death.

Ning Zhongze looked at her husband, feeling utterly helpless. This time, the Huashan Sect was likely in grave danger. Whether Murong Bo chose to kill Yue Buqun or his disciple, the Huashan Sect would suffer a severe blow. Fortunately, her daughter and Linghu Chong hadn't come here; otherwise, they would likely have met with the same fate.

Murong Bo looked at the names on the list, feeling a bit of a headache. Of those, only Yue Buqun seemed to lack any real background; the other three had incredibly powerful backers. If he were to kill even two of them here, he'd probably have to continue hiding. But then he thought, since he'd already killed so many martial artists, and grandmasters might come knocking on his door in the future, he wouldn't be able to avoid living in hiding anyway. With that in mind, killing these people didn't feel so bad.

Murong Bo realized he couldn't shoulder this responsibility alone; he had to drag Su Qingfeng into it as well. "Lord Wu Xiang, are you deliberately trying to make me offend these powerful forces?"

"Murong Bo, will you kill him or not?"

"Lord Wu Xiang, can't you just let these people go?"

"**A life for a life, a debt must be repaid, don't you understand this principle? Murong Bo, you old cunning bastard, are you going to kill me or not?"

Murong Bo chuckled at Su Qingfeng: "Kill them. But of these four, you pick two, and I'll kill them."

Su Qingfeng listened with an indifferent expression and sneered, "An old cunning bastard is an old cunning bastard. First one, Song Qingshu of the Wudang Sect, kill him."

Su Qingfeng had long disliked Song Qingshu's shifty-eyed appearance. This man had been staring at the woman beside Su Qingfeng with undisguised glint in his eyes, and Su Qingfeng had wanted to teach him a lesson for a long time.

Murong Bo was taken aback, not expecting that Su Qingfeng's first target for him to kill was Song Qingshu of the Wudang Sect. Was Su Qingfeng not afraid of Zhang Sanfeng of the Wudang Sect? "Lord Wu Xiang, Zhang Sanfeng is a super expert at the Celestial Realm. Aren't you afraid he'll seek revenge?"

Su Qingfeng smiled: "I'm not afraid, are you?"

Su Qingfeng knew Zhang Sanfeng's temperament very well. If Zhang Sanfeng knew that Song Qingshu had attacked the imperial army first, he would never have stood up for him. Even if Zhang Sanfeng really wanted to, Su Qingfeng had ways to persuade him.

Murong Bo retorted defiantly, "What a joke! Why would I be afraid? I've been hiding for decades and no one has found me. Even if Zhang Sanfeng is a master of the Celestial Realm, he can't do anything about it if he can't find me."

"Then kill them."

At this moment, Murong Bo was only concerned with who Su Qingfeng would choose next.

"Just tell me who you want to kill next, and I'll take care of them all at once." Su Qingfeng glanced at the timid Yue Buqun beside him and chuckled. "The second one is Yue Buqun from the Huashan Sect."

Su Qingfeng wasn't sure if Yue Buqun had practiced the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique; he simply felt disgusted by the hypocrite's appearance and would rather kill him. Murong Bo glanced at Yue Buqun's terrified expression and said:

"Alright, Yue Buqun is the one with the least backing here, so I'll make my move."

Just then, Yue Buqun suddenly rushed to Su Qingfeng's side, kneeling on the perimeter and pleading repeatedly, "Lord Wu Xiang, please spare my life, please don't kill me..." Su Qingfeng looked at this hypocritical man, pondered for a moment, and asked:

"Yue Buqun, what reason do you have for me not to kill you?" Yue Buqun hurriedly replied:

"I am willing to pay for my life and also offer the Huashan Sect's top-tier internal energy cultivation manual, the 'Purple Cloud Manual,' to Lord Wu Xiang!"

Ning Zhongze, enraged, rushed to Yue Buqun's side and loudly questioned him:

"Senior brother, how can you be so cowardly? To save your own life, you're even willing to hand over the sect's most prized possession, Huashan Town! I'm utterly disappointed!" Su Qingfeng glanced at Ning Zhongze, whose figure was still full and beautiful, and said to Yue Buqun:

"Yue Buqun, your wife is quite beautiful, but unfortunately you won't have the fortune to enjoy her later. I have no interest in the money and martial arts manuals you mentioned earlier. You should travel with Song Qingshu of the Wudang Sect later."

Seeing that Su Qingfeng refused, Yue Buqun panicked and grabbed Ning Zhongze, shouting to Su Qingfeng:

"No! I don't want to die! Lord Wu Xiang, since you praised my wife's beauty, I will offer her to you! Just spare me, and my wife will be yours from now on!"

"I**……"

Su Qingfeng was taken aback by Yue Buqun's words. This hypocrite, in order to save his own life, was even willing to give away his wife, and of all people, he had to give her to him. At that moment, he felt as if several gazes were piercing his back, threatening to kill him.

Wanwan beside him clenched her fists, glaring at Su Qingfeng and coldly said:

"Su**, you're really something. Just a casual compliment, and they're rushing to send you their wife. Now you've got a beautiful woman for free!" Wanwan was furious. She hated Yue Buqun for pushing his wife onto Su Qingfeng, and she was also angry that Su Qingfeng would praise another woman's beauty—she herself had never received a single compliment from him. Thinking of this, she wanted nothing more than to give him a good beating right then and there.

Seeing that Wanwan seemed about to attack, Su Qingfeng quickly explained:

"I was just saying it casually, who knew that this cowardly Yue Buqun would actually push the madam forward. Wanwan, don't do anything rash."

At this moment, Su Qingfeng wished he could kill that hypocrite Yue Buqun immediately. Although Yue Buqun's wife, Ning Zhongze, was indeed exceptionally beautiful, which woman beside him wasn't prettier? And that cunning old man, Murong Bo, hadn't made a move yet; was he just watching the show?

Wanwan glared coldly at Su Qingfeng and said sarcastically:

"Ha, you bastard, do you think I'd believe that? Tell me, is it because you're attracted to Madam Yue's beauty? Otherwise, why would you praise her so highly? I've never heard you praise anyone from our area before."

Su Qingfeng hurriedly turned to look at Lin Shiyin, who was glaring at him:

"Wow, who said I haven't complimented you? Lin Shiyin, have I never complimented your beauty?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiyin immediately tensed up. She didn't know if Su Qingfeng had praised others before, but she knew he had praised her. However, with Wanwan and the others watching closely, if she admitted it, they might have a problem with her.

She looked at Su Qingfeng with a slightly apologetic expression:

"Have you ever praised me? I don't remember. You're not using me as an excuse to absolve yourself of your 'crimes,' are you?"

Su Qingfeng felt a headache coming on when he saw that this wicked woman wouldn't admit it.

"What crime have I committed?! Is casually complimenting someone's looks a crime?"

Su Yan, standing to the side, pulled Huang Rong along, fanning the flames:

"Dad, I'm going to tell Mom when I get back that you're finished this time."

Su Qingfeng glared at Su Yan, who was joining in the fun, ignored her, and turned to look at Shi Feixuan and the others—if she really agreed to Yue Buqun's request, she would probably be stabbed in the next second.

He quickly pulled Shi Feixuan aside and explained:

"Feixuan, I really don't have that intention, you have to believe me."

Shi Feixuan looked at him quietly for a while, then nodded. She knew Su Qingfeng wouldn't have any designs on Madam Yue, but it seemed... he had never praised her beauty before. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Lin Shiyin, whose face was flushed.

Seeing Shi Feixuan nod, Su Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. With her there, even if Wanwan wanted to take action, Shi Feixuan would stop her. He glanced at the other women, preparing to call on Murong Bo to act.

Su Qingfeng merely glanced at Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min—they were now like strangers to him, and he didn't care what they thought at all.

He completely ignored Huang Rong. Right now, all he needed to do was keep Wanwan and Shi Feixuan calm.

Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min were furious when Su Qingfeng glanced at them and then ignored them. Although they had no connection with Su Qingfeng, they were helping this bastard. He completely disregarded them, and the two women wanted nothing more than to beat him up.

Huang Rong was a little dazed. Su Qingfeng glanced at the women present, but deliberately overlooked her, which made her furious. She wanted nothing more than to confront Su Qingfeng immediately. This guy, who used to claim he wanted to marry her, dared to pretend he didn't see her? The more Huang Rong thought about it, the angrier she became, her cheeks flushing red.

Seeing Huang Rong's sullen expression, Su Yan leaned over and added fuel to the fire, asking, "Sister Huang, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to vent?"

Huang Rong could tell what Su Yan was up to just by looking at her mischievous expression. She reached out and lightly tapped Su Yan's forehead, saying irritably, "Hmph, stop stirring things up! Your father is a bastard, thankfully I have nothing to do with him."

Su Yan asked with a grin, "Then why were you so angry just now?"

Huang Rong glared at Su Qingfeng through gritted teeth and said to Su Yan, "Was I angry? I was extremely angry! Your father looked at all the women here, why didn't he look at me? He clearly looks down on me!"

"Hehe, Sister Huang, there's another woman here that my dad hasn't seen yet."

"Huh? Who?"

"It's Abbess Miejue! Hahaha—"

"What the hell! Su girl, are you looking for death? Do you think Abbess Miejue can compare to me?"

"Just kidding, Sister Huang, don't mind it."

On the other side, Ning Zhongze froze, stunned by Yue Buqun's words. She never imagined that Yue Buqun would intend to hand her over to that Lord Wu Xiang just to save his own life. Ning Zhongze looked at Yue Buqun, her eyes filled with hatred. She took a deep breath and, forcing herself to remain calm, asked the kneeling Yue Buqun, "Yue Buqun, what you just said... wasn't true, was it?"

Yue Buqun grabbed Ning Zhongze's hand and pleaded, "Madam, I really have no other choice this time... I don't want to die! The Huashan Sect hasn't yet flourished; I can't die. Just now, Lord Wu praised your beauty; he must have feelings for you. Only you can save me!"

Ning Zhongze flung his hand away and roared, "Get out! Yue Buqun, from this day forward, our marriage is over! I, Ning Zhongze, have no husband like you who clings to life and fears death!"

Seeing that Ning Zhongze refused, Yue Buqun threatened, "Madam, think of our daughter. If I don't go back, Lingshan will die on the Cliff of Contemplation—only I can open that secret room."

Ning Zhongze's heart was breaking. Pointing at Yue Buqun, she cried out in a trembling voice, "You...you bastard! You actually dared to use your own daughter to blackmail me!"

Yue Buqun glanced around in a panic. Fortunately, only Wu Xiangjun's soldiers and Murong Bo's group were present. If other martial artists knew he had offered his wife to save his life, his reputation would be completely ruined. He stared at the grief-stricken Ning Zhongze and continued to press, "Think it over carefully..."

"Don't let me die! Ning Zhongze, if you're willing to save me, I'll release our daughter immediately when we get back. You know that even a Grandmaster can't break into that secret chamber—if you don't save me, I'll take this secret to my grave!" "I promise! I promise you! Yue Buqun, you damned hypocrite, I, Ning Zhongze, was truly blind back then!"

Just as Su Qingfeng was about to order Murong Bo outside to make a move, Ning Zhongze suddenly raised her voice and shouted, causing Su Qingfeng and Shi Feixuan to turn around and look.

Ning Zhongze, her face streaked with tears, squatted on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. Shi Feixuan and the others immediately understood that Yue Buqun was once again using his wife as leverage. Su Qingfeng glanced at the weeping Ning Zhongze and said to Murong Bo beside her, "Have you watched enough of the show, Murong Bo? It's time to make your move."

Murong Bo, however, was secretly hoping that the women behind Su Qingfeng would fall out with her and wasn't in a hurry to act—perhaps they would turn their love into hatred and kill Wu Xiangjun for him, wouldn't that save him trouble? He smiled and replied:

"Haha, Lord Wu Xiang, the show isn't over yet, why don't we wait a little longer?" Su Qingfeng frowned.

"What are we waiting for? Seeing this hypocrite makes me sick. Let's do it now!"
