The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun.

"People in this world talk about sons but not fathers, yet you speak so much about my faults. Have I wronged you? Can't a father have his own ideals? Must I live my whole life for you?"

"You are unworthy of being a son, not even as good as your sister Jing'er. Jing'er was able to sacrifice herself for righteousness. Do you think you can get them to let you go by saying these things? Having a son like you has ruined my reputation. What use is your life as a rebellious son? You might as well be dead!"

Liu Yin simply shook her head silently: "I didn't say anything bad about you, nor will I. My father doesn't treat me as his son, my sister doesn't treat me as her brother, and now that my mother is gone, what use am I to the world? If my father wants me to die, I have no choice but to die. But if there is an afterlife, I don't want to be your son again. If there is a Yellow Springs, I will never see you again when I reach the Yellow Springs."

After saying that, Liu Yin snatched a sword from a Songshan Sect disciple next to her and committed suicide by cutting her throat.

Liu Zhengfeng was stunned and speechless upon seeing this.

Liu Yin's last words before she died pierced his heart like a sharp sword.

Was I really wrong?

But I just want to do what I like to do, what's wrong with that?

Looking at Liu Yin's corpse, Ding Mian shook his head: "She was someone with backbone."

After saying that, he looked at Liu Zhengfeng's youngest son, Liu Qin, who was only fifteen years old, and said, "What your brother said before he died proves that not everyone in your Liu family is colluding with the Demonic Sect. Since that's the case, I'll give you a chance. As long as you sever ties with your father, I won't kill you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengfeng immediately looked up, staring intently at his young son, hoping for his support.

Liu Qin was usually a timid and cowardly person. After seeing the deaths of his mother, brother and sister, his legs began to tremble. He was about to speak after hearing Ding Mian's words, but the next second his eyes fell on Liu Yin's corpse, and he froze.

He thought of Liu Yin's words before she died, and how his father, Liu Zhengfeng, had neglected them and disliked Liu Yin during this time, and how his sister, Liu Jing, had distanced herself from Liu Yin. He stood there, stunned.

"Qin'er".

Liu Zhengfeng looked at Liu Qin with a certain expectation in his eyes, and his lips trembled slightly as he spoke.

Liu Qin turned to look at Liu Zhengfeng, her eyes carrying a meaning that made Liu Zhengfeng uneasy.

"Father."

Liu Qin spoke up, his face filled with doubt: "What am I to you? What is your brother to you? Is your family really not as important to you as Qu Yang? Not as important as your music?"

Liu Zhengfeng's heart sank.

Liu Qin did not continue speaking. Instead, he picked up the sword that Liu Yin had used to commit suicide and called out loudly, "Brother, wait for me."

He was about to follow Liu Yin's example and commit suicide by drawing his sword.

next second.

Ding!

Liu Qin's sword was deflected by a pebble, knocking it to the ground.

Before anyone present could see what was happening, a figure flashed and someone stood beside Liu Qin.

Liu Qin stared blankly at the person who had suddenly appeared before her.

"Uncle Ding, could you please let Liu Qin go?"

Jiang Ning looked at Ding Mian and said.

Jiang Ning originally had no intention of getting involved in the matter between Liu Zhengfeng and the Songshan Sect. People have to consider the consequences when doing anything. Since Liu Zhengfeng did this, it already represents his choice.

What Jiang Ning didn't expect was that his son, Liu Yin, would say those words.

Family or ideals, which is more important?

Jiang Ning wanted to save Liu Yin when he attempted suicide, but Liu Yin moved too quickly and Jiang Ning didn't have time to act.

Moreover, for Liu Yin, what Liu Zhengfeng had just said to him had made him too ashamed to live in the world. He had already made up his mind to die and could only go to his death.

Liu Yin was dead. Jiang Ning had been preparing to act until his younger brother Liu Qin finished speaking and was about to commit suicide.

Ding Mian looked Jiang Ning up and down. The other party had rushed out from Yue Buqun's group, so he must be a disciple of the Huashan Sect.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Ding Mian sneered, "He hasn't even said he's severing ties with his father, Liu Zhengfeng. How can I keep him here?"

"Brother Ding, why be so aggressive?"

Yue Buqun, who was not far away, frowned and spoke.

"The fact that this child said he wanted to die with his brother already shows that he doesn't approve of Liu Zhengfeng's actions. If that's the case, why are you being so harsh on him? As a son, you're forcing him to break with his father verbally. That's against human ethics. Even if he survives, with so many people from the martial arts world here, how will this child have the face to live on in the future?"

"good."

Tianmen Daoist also spoke up: "This was done by Liu Zhengfeng alone. What does it have to do with the child?"

Although he disliked Liu Zhengfeng's association with members of the Demonic Cult, the behavior of Liu Zhengfeng's two sons prevented him from feeling any ill will towards them.

Master Dingyi looked at Ding Mian and said, "I don't care how you deal with Liu Zhengfeng, but you can't kill this child."

Seeing that the three sect leaders and representatives, who had been watching silently from the sidelines, had all expressed the same stance, Ding Mian frowned and remained silent.

After a while.

"Ok."

Ding Mian nodded.

"In that case, spare his life."

With the exception of the Hengshan Sect, the other three sects among the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects were now on the opposite side, so he could not continue.

Having received a reply, Jiang Ning pulled Liu Qin aside and took her hand.

At this moment, Liu Qin still had that blank expression on her face, as if she had no idea what had just happened.

He must be feeling incredibly hurt right now.

There's nothing to comfort Jiang Ning about; only time can heal the wounds.

Although the Songshan Sect released Liu Qin under pressure from the crowd, Liu Zhengfeng is still alive.

Lu Bai looked at Liu Zhengfeng with a cold smile, his long sword, stained with blood, pointing at him.

"Liu Zhengfeng, if you remain stubbornly unrepentant today, then you can't blame the Songshan Sect."

After saying that, Lu Bai shouted and rushed towards Liu Zhengfeng, his long sword aimed directly at Liu Zhengfeng's face.

But at that moment, several whooshing sounds came from behind.

Lu Bai's ears twitched, sensing the strangeness behind him. He turned around and swung his longsword, clattering as more than a dozen black needles were cut down to the ground.

Just then, a masked man in a black bodysuit flew down from the outer wall, grabbed Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Feiyan's hands, and said urgently, "Quick, come with me!"

No one knew who this person was, but Liu Zhengfeng's next words stunned them.

"Brother Qu?"

Liu Zhengfeng was extremely surprised; he recognized the voice as belonging to someone else.

Qu Yang said urgently, "Let's go."

After saying that, he grabbed Liu Zhengfeng and pulled him away before Liu could react.

Seeing that they were about to leave, the martial arts practitioners closest to them tried to stop them, but Qu Feiyan took out several round stones the size of eggs from her bosom and smashed them to the ground.

The ground exploded with a deafening roar, and smoke billowed up.

By the time everyone realized what was happening, Qu Yang, dressed as a masked man, was already leading Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Feiyan away from the Liu residence.

Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng had disappeared from sight.

"How dare you!"

Ding Mian, Lu Bai, and the others then realized what was happening and were immediately enraged.

"That scoundrel Qu Yang from the Demonic Sect is incredibly audacious! If he doesn't die here today, I, Ding Mian, will change my name!"

"Chase after me!"

Ding Mian led the Songshan Sect members to give chase, and some martial arts figures who had grudges against the Demonic Sect also followed.

"I never imagined that such a perfectly good retirement ceremony would turn into this in an instant, sigh."

Looking at the blood-soaked Liu residence, Abbess Dingyi couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing this, the other martial arts practitioners also left one after another, and Yu Canghai and his Qingcheng Sect disciples also prepared to leave.

"Abbot Yu, where are you going?"

Yu Canghai had only taken two steps when a voice rang out from not far away. He turned around and saw that it was Jiang Ning speaking.

"Where I go is none of your business."

Yu Canghai said indifferently.

"Oh."

Jiang Ning chuckled: "Where you go is none of my business, but there is one thing my Huashan Sect has to settle with you about."

Ok?

Another juicy story to tell?

The other martial arts figures who were about to leave looked at Jiang Ning and Yu Canghai in surprise upon seeing this.

We just heard about the Hengshan Sect's second-in-command's friendship with a Demonic Sect elder, and now we have another story about the Huashan Sect and the Qingcheng Sect.

Upon hearing this, Yu Canghai was somewhat surprised and uncertain: "Settle accounts? What accounts? I believe I have never offended your Huashan Sect."

Jiang Ning said expressionlessly, "Your son, Yu Renyan, harassed my Huashan disciples in Fujian. Aren't you going to give my Huashan Sect an explanation?"

"Nonsense!"

Yu Canghai was furious: "My son has already been killed by Lin Pingzhi of the Fuwei Escort Agency. When did I ever harass your Huashan disciples?"

Jiang Ning didn't look at him, but looked at Yue Lingshan instead.

"Senior Sister Lingshan."

"what?"

Yue Lingshan didn't react for a moment, but after seeing Jiang Ning's eyes, she immediately understood, her expression turned angry, and she turned to look at Yu Canghai.

"Yes! Your son can't say anything nice, and he's not clean either. He even tried to take advantage of me."

Upon seeing that it was Yue Buqun's own daughter, Yu Canghai immediately assumed that Jiang Ning's sudden attack was at Yue Buqun's behest. He looked at Yue Buqun, frowned, and asked, "Sect Leader Yue, what is the meaning of this?"
