136: Threatening Yu Canghai (seeking full subscription)”Father, Mother, save me!”

Seeing Ning Yuan and Ning Zhongze, Yue Lingshan immediately shouted in excitement.

”Lingshan!”

Seeing Yue Lingshan, Ning Zhongze couldn’t help but take a step forward.

Abbess Dingyi raised her hand holding her sword scabbard, blocking Yue Lingshan, and said coldly, ”Headmaster Yue, Heroine Ning, although I admire the character of you two, Linghu Chong cannot represent you. Hand over Linghu Chong, and I will release her.”

”Abbess Dingyi, there must be some misunderstanding. Chong’er is definitely not that kind of person, and it is even more impossible for him to plot against your sect’s Disciples,”

Ning Zhongze said hurriedly.

But Abbess Dingyi remained unmoved.

At this moment, someone suddenly walked in from outside, came before the people of the Mount Tai Sect, and said, ”Could it be that I, Tiansong, am lying?”

Daoist Tiansong was the Junior Brother of the Mount Tai Sect’s Sect Head, Daoist Tianmen. He had a fiery personality but was also clear about gratitude and grudges. ”Linghu Chong and Tian Boguang drinking and chatting happily was seen by my own eyes. There was also a little nun beside them, which I also saw with my own eyes.”

”Even my sect’s Disciples died under the Mount Hua Swordplay. Headmaster Yue, what explanation do you have?”

Daoist Tiansong glared with wide eyes at Ning Yuan.

”My Disciples were also killed by Linghu Chong. Yue Buqun, today you must give me an explanation and hand over the murderer, Linghu Chong.”

Yu Canghai echoed from the side.

”If you want me to hand him over, I must at least wait until I understand the full picture. Now, based only on your one-sided words, if I were to conclude that my Disciple is associating with the dregs of the Jianghu and persecuting your Disciples, it would be unfair to the innocent.”

”If you want an explanation from me, I hope you will give me time to investigate and gather evidence personally, find Linghu Chong, and confront him with all of you. How about that?”

Ning Yuan cupped his fists, his expression unchanged as he spoke.

Abbess Dingyi and Daoist Tiansong looked at each other, showing hesitation.

Seeing this scene, Yu Canghai couldn’t help but get anxious and immediately snorted, ”By the time you find Linghu Chong, it will be too late. I think you are intentionally shielding your Disciple.”

Hearing this, Ning Yuan’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said coldly, ”Yu Canghai, as for the deaths of those few Disciples of yours, I will simply admit it; they were killed by my Disciple.”

”Good, you finally dare to admit it!”

Yu Canghai slapped his thigh and immediately jumped up, shouting excitedly.

”Heh...”

Ning Yuan sneered, ”What do I have to be afraid of admitting? My Disciple was eliminating evil for the people, acting heroically, and standing up against injustice. Naturally, it should be done openly and honorably.”

”Yue Buqun, what do you mean by that?”

Yu Canghai was instantly furious upon hearing this and questioned in a shrill voice.

”Your four Disciples are called the Four Heroes of Qingcheng, but their actions have nothing to do with being ’heroes’. They commit crimes, harm the common people, and kill without mercy. I think they should be called the Four Beasts of Qingcheng instead. Since Linghu Chong eliminated these four beasts, I, Yue, not only want to applaud but also encourage him. In the future, when encountering such evil people, they should be killed!”

Ning Yuan said indifferently.

As soon as these words were spoken, Yue Lingshan, who was detained by Mount Heng, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

”What?”

Hearing this, Yu Canghai became even more furious. After glaring at Yue Lingshan, he looked at Ning Yuan, feeling somewhat humiliated and exasperated. ”Yue Buqun, you have long had the name of the Gentleman Sword, but in my eyes, you are a complete hypocrite. Didn’t you send your Disciple and daughter to Fuzhou also to plot for the Lin family’s Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual?”

Yu Canghai questioned loudly, directly stating Yue Buqun’s hidden thoughts.

These words made the Disciples of Mount Heng, Mount Tai, and even Mount Hua look at Yue Buqun.

Facing the suspicious gazes of the crowd, Ning Yuan remained composed and not at all flustered, saying calmly, ”If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext. Yu Canghai, in order to seek the Lin family’s swordplay manual, you slaughtered the entire Lin family. Such a crime, I, Yue Buqun, will surely eliminate you for it.”

”My Disciple killed your Disciples, and I, as his Master, will naturally kill you to rid the Martial Forest of evil!”

Ning Yuan flicked his finger, and the long sword in his hand made a crisp clanging sound as it suddenly entered his hand.

”You dare?”

Yu Canghai shouted in shock and anger, also drawing his long sword.

Just as both sides were at daggers drawn, a small, thin figure suddenly stumbled over.

”Sect Head Junior Martial Uncle, Senior Brother Linghu did not harm me. Instead, I was captured by Tian Boguang, and it was Senior Brother Linghu who saw the injustice and stepped in to help. But because he was injured and was no match for Tian Boguang, he could only use his wits to save me.”

After Yilin arrived, she hurriedly explained the whole story.

Hearing this, a look of embarrassment appeared on Abbess Dingyi’s face. She hurriedly ordered someone to release Yue Lingshan, then cupped her fists to Ning Yuan and said apologetically, ”Headmaster Yue, it was I who failed to investigate clearly and misunderstood Linghu Chong.”

”Abbess Dingyi, there’s no need for that. I also know it was because you were anxious that it happened.”

Ning Yuan said nonchalantly.

At this time, Yue Lingshan also ran over to Ning Zhongze’s side.

And Daoist Tiansong of the Mount Tai Sect also looked embarrassed.

His lips moved a few times, as if he had something to say.

”Daoist Tiansong, there’s no need to say more. I have always known your character to be one that distinguishes right from wrong. You were also blinded by outward appearances in your quest to eliminate evil and promote good, rather than intentionally escalating the conflict.”

Ning Yuan raised his hand to stop Daoist Tiansong from speaking and said calmly.

Daoist Tiansong immediately turned his head in shame and cupped his fists, saying, ”Headmaster Yue is truly magnanimous. This time, I failed to distinguish right from wrong and caused your sect to suffer an injustice. I will surely repay this in the future.”

”The Gentleman Sword’s magnanimity is indeed extraordinary; we are ashamed!”

Abbess Dingyi also said immediately, presenting a bottle of Medicinal Pills. ”Headmaster Yue, this is our Mount Heng’s Spirit Medicine, the White Cloud Bear Gall Pill. Taking it can treat internal injuries. Please accept it, Headmaster Yue and Heroine Ning.”

”Abbess Dingyi is too polite, but since I happen to need it right now, I will accept it.”

Ning Yuan took the pill bottle but did not put it away. Instead, he went to the side of the heavily injured Mount Tai Sect Disciple and gave him the medicine.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt even more admiration for the Gentleman Sword’s chivalrous heart.

Subsequently, Ning Yuan looked at Yu Canghai.

Yu Canghai’s face was ashen. He raised his sleeve to change into a mask and snorted, ”Yue Buqun, sooner or later, I will make you lose your reputation.”

Yu Canghai sheathed his sword and sat down directly.

In the crowd, Lin Pingzhi, disguised as a hunchback, was greatly heartened by this scene.

”The reputation of Yue Buqun of the Mount Hua Sword Sect is actually this great. If I could take him as my Master, wouldn’t there be hope for revenge?”

Lin Pingzhi thought to himself.

His entire family had been killed, and his parents captured, all by Yu Canghai and his Disciples from the Qingcheng Sect. Now that Yu Canghai was so wary of the Gentleman Sword, it made Lin Pingzhi feel as if he saw hope.

”If the Gentleman Sword lends a hand, my parents will surely be rescued.”

Lin Pingzhi felt a surge of excitement, but after a moment, he suppressed his restless mood.

Because he was a stranger to the other party, it might be difficult to get them to help him. Most importantly, if the other party didn’t help and he was exposed to Yu Canghai, he would surely become a bargaining chip for the other party to threaten his parents.

Just then, Yu Canghai discovered Lin Pingzhi and grabbed his wrist, ”Kid, was it you who just injured my Disciples?”

Yu Canghai questioned sternly, because the people who returned said that the one who injured the Qingcheng Sect was a hunchback.

”It wasn’t me.”

Lin Pingzhi thought his identity had been discovered, but after realizing it was a misunderstanding, he immediately shook his head.

”Yu Canghai, this is my grandson. It’s not your place to teach him a lesson.”

At this moment, an ugly hunchback suddenly appeared, grabbing Lin Pingzhi’s other wrist and asking with a chuckle, ”Isn’t that right? My dear grandson?”

”Hmm?”

Seeing Mu Gaofeng, Yu Canghai’s expression changed slightly, ”It’s you—the Desert Camel!”

Although the Desert Camel Mu Gaofeng was someone who fawned over the powerful, changed with the wind, and had low character, his martial arts were quite good. Even Yu Canghai did not dare to underestimate him.

”Is he really your grandson?”

Yu Canghai looked suspicious.

Mu Gaofeng looked at Lin Pingzhi, grinned, and asked, ”Grandson, tell me, are you my grandson?”

Although Lin Pingzhi was full of reluctance, seeing Yu Canghai, he could only nod, ”Yes, yes, yes, Grandpa, I am your grandson!”

Lin Pingzhi gnashed his teeth in his heart, but on the surface, he could only accept it.

”Hahaha! Good grandson, let’s go!”

Mu Gaofeng pulled Lin Pingzhi and quickly left the Mount Heng Inn.

Ning Yuan watched all this coldly and did not stop it.

He naturally knew Lin Pingzhi’s identity.

But now was not the time for him to act.

To bestow a favor, one must bestow a great favor.

Only by stepping in to save someone when they are in the most danger and despair...

...can one truly make them feel deeply grateful.

After Mu Gaofeng left, Yu Canghai frowned and thought, ”Where did he get a grandson... Wait!”

Yu Canghai suddenly became alert, then abandoned his Qingcheng Sect Disciples and immediately left.

After seeing the two disappear, Ning Yuan also said, ”Junior Sister, you all stay here. I’ll go see what they’re up to.”

”Senior Brother?”

Ning Zhongze’s eyebrows twitched, showing astonishment and confusion.

At this time, Liu Zhengfeng walked in. Ning Zhongze had to suppress her doubts until after Liu Zhengfeng left. Yue Lingshan whispered a few words in Ning Zhongze’s ear, and Ning Zhongze’s face darkened slightly, ”We’ll go too.”

Obviously, Yue Lingshan had already recognized Lin Pingzhi’s identity... ”Kid, hurry up and take me as your Master.”

After Mu Gaofeng brought him to the Qunyu Courtyard in Mount Heng, he immediately threatened him impatiently.

”Taking you as my Master is fine, as long as you can kill Yu Canghai, I will take you as my Master.”

Lin Pingzhi said immediately.

Although he knew Mu Gaofeng also had designs on him, Lin Pingzhi had no choice now.

His own strength was insufficient, so he could only pray for help from others to take revenge and rescue his parents.

”Good, good, good!”

Mu Gaofeng agreed immediately. Anyway, agreeing verbally didn’t mean he had to act.

After all, Yu Canghai’s strength was not inferior to his.

He wasn’t easy to deal with, and he didn’t truly want to take Lin Pingzhi as a Disciple; he just wanted to get the location of the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual from Lin Pingzhi’s mouth.

”Who wants to kill me?”

Just then, a voice came from afar, and at the same time, a palm strike boomed over.

Mu Gaofeng’s eyes sharpened, he threw Lin Pingzhi back, and the Hunchback Sword in his hand flew out spinning.

Yu Canghai arrived and clashed with Mu Gaofeng.

”Mu Gaofeng, hand over the person.”

Yu Canghai shouted loudly, and the Qingcheng Swordplay was unleashed.

”In your dreams!”

Mu Gaofeng sneered, and both sides instantly engaged in combat.

Mu Gaofeng wielded his Hunchback Sword, his swordplay being vastly different from the martial arts of various sects in the Jianghu and incredibly bizarre. After just dozens of exchanges, Yu Canghai fell into a disadvantage.

”What a Desert Camel, no wonder you have such a reputation.”

Yu Canghai’s expression changed drastically. He silently channeled his Internal Energy and struck out with a palm from under his long sleeve.

Unexpectedly, Mu Gaofeng sneered, caught the Hunchback Sword, and thrust it out.

With a boom, both sides retreated a step.

Yu Canghai silently withdrew his arm, his palm trembling slightly, clearly having suffered a small loss.

”Mu Gaofeng, I’ll remember this.”

Yu Canghai snorted and immediately retreated.

Mu Gaofeng then looked at Lin Pingzhi, ”Kid, did you see that? Yu Canghai is no match for me. As long as you take me as your Master and hand over your Lin family’s swordplay manual, I can help you get your revenge.”

Mu Gaofeng tempted him.

But how could Lin Pingzhi know where the swordplay manual was?

Seeing Lin Pingzhi hesitating and remaining unmoved, Mu Gaofeng couldn’t help but reveal his true face. He grabbed Lin Pingzhi’s collar and threatened sternly, ”Kid, if you still don’t hand over the swordplay manual, don’t blame Grandpa for being heartless.”

”You really are also plotting for my Lin family’s swordplay manual; you never intended to help me with my revenge. If you really want to know the whereabouts of the manual, you’ll find out once you kill Yu Canghai.”

Lin Pingzhi shouted, suppressing his fear.

”Hmph, killing Yu Canghai isn’t as easy as interrogating you. Since you refuse to do things the easy way, then Grandpa will let you experience my methods.”

Mu Gaofeng grabbed Lin Pingzhi’s wrist, and with a crisp crack, Lin Pingzhi’s arm was instantly broken.

”Ah!”

Lin Pingzhi couldn’t help but scream in pain.

”Little guy, are you going to talk or not?”

Mu Gaofeng continued to threaten.

Such pain caused cold sweat to break out on Lin Pingzhi’s forehead, his face full of fear, but he truly didn’t know the whereabouts of the swordplay manual.

”Good kid, your mouth is quite stubborn. It seems you don’t want your other arm either.”

Mu Gaofeng sneered and grabbed Lin Pingzhi’s other hand.

Just then, a grand palm strike suddenly tore through the air.

Mu Gaofeng immediately released Lin Pingzhi and exerted all his power to resist.

Bang!

With just one palm strike, Mu Gaofeng was shaken back several steps. Yue Buqun’s figure appeared in the distance, ”Mu Gaofeng, what do you think you’re doing?”

Ning Yuan shouted coldly.

Seeing Yue Buqun, Mu Gaofeng couldn’t help but look wary, ”Yue Buqun, it’s you!”

”Hmph! Yue Buqun, we shall meet again.”

Mu Gaofeng’s eyes flickered a few times. Thinking of the other’s reputation, he could only snort and leave quickly, not even having time to take Lin Pingzhi with him.

After all, he was still unwilling to go up against Yue Buqun.

A person’s name is like the shadow of a tree.

The Gentleman Sword’s fame was carved out through killings in the Jianghu.

Watching Mu Gaofeng leave in a panic, Ning Yuan smiled disdainfully, ”If it weren’t for the fact that you still have a use, I should have killed you long ago.”

Ning Yuan thought to himself, then walked into the clearing.

Seeing Ning Yuan appear, Lin Pingzhi suddenly knelt before him, ”Junior Lin Pingzhi begs Headmaster Yue for mercy. Please take me as your Disciple; I am willing to join Mount Hua.”

Lin Pingzhi shouted excitedly.

After all, the other party was so powerful that just showing his face scared off an expert like Mu Gaofeng and made Yu Canghai suffer. If he joined Mount Hua, his safety would be guaranteed.

Moreover, the Gentleman Sword’s reputation was widespread and he was an upright person, so he didn’t have to worry about the other party plotting against him for anything.

”My Mount Hua has a requirement for taking Disciples; you had better inform your parents first and seek their opinion.”

Ning Yuan said calmly.

”But my parents have already been captured by Yu Canghai and the others, and their fate is unknown. I beg Headmaster Yue for mercy, please save my parents.”

Lin Pingzhi wept bitterly and pleaded.

At this time, Ning Zhongze also arrived with Yue Lingshan and other Mount Hua Disciples.

”Father, what he said is true. That Yu Canghai wiped out the entire Fuwei Escort Agency, and the Lin Couple were also taken by him. He is truly too wicked.”

Yue Lingshan also said from the side.

Ning Yuan stroked his long beard and then nodded slightly, ”Now that I know of this matter, I naturally will not tolerate him continuing his evil deeds. You get up first. After I rescue your parents, we can talk about the matter of you becoming a Disciple.”

”Thank you, Headmaster Yue!”

Lin Pingzhi immediately kowtowed with great excitement.

Sorry, there is only one update today!
