Chapter 137: The Righteous Gentleman Sword! (Request for full order)
"Dad, this Lin Pingzhi is so pitiful, why don't you just accept him as your disciple?"
After returning to the inn, Yue Lingshan couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I've already said that we should consult his parents first. You don't need to ask any more questions."
Ning Yuan said calmly.
Ning Zhongze on the side also said: "Lingshan, you have been away for so long, you should have a good rest first. Your father and I have also come from a long way and are equally tired. We have to attend Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony tomorrow. There may be some trouble tomorrow. We should get enough rest today."
"I see."
Yue Lingshan pouted and said reluctantly.
……
"Brother, what exactly are your plans?"
After Yue Lingshan left, Ning Zhongze couldn't help but ask.
"Junior sister, don't worry, I have my own plans."
Ning Yuan didn't explain.
Then he looked at Ning Zhongze, and the atmosphere between them gradually became ambiguous.
After all, Ning Yuan's blessing has disappeared.
"Brother, don't do that. This is an inn. There are many people here. What if..."
Ning Zhongze felt a little embarrassed and spoke in a low voice.
"What are you afraid of? We are an old married couple."
Ning Yuan picked up Ning Zhongze and came to the bed.
Soon after……
"Brother, we have important things to do tomorrow. If anything happens, we still need to deal with it. Don't be so intense tonight."
Seeing this, Ning Zhongze could only change his request.
"Don't worry, Junior Sister. I have a plan in mind."
Ning Yuan smiled slightly.
The next day.
Ning Yuan gained five times the enlightenment.
……
Early in the morning, martial artists from various factions gathered at Liu's mansion.
The Liu Mansion had already been decorated with lights and colors.
In the pavilion inside the Liu Mansion, a brand new golden basin was placed on a stool.
There are three seats on each side below.
Ning Yuan sat on the right, followed by the Hengshan and Taishan sects.
The position on the left opposite is vacant.
Next came Yu Canghai from the Qingcheng Sect and other martial arts sects.
As all the martial artists in the Liu Mansion arrived and sat down, Liu Zhengfeng still did not see anyone from the Songshan Sect, the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sects. He felt a little uneasy, but he still smiled and bowed everywhere, "Thank you all for coming and participating in my retirement ceremony."
While Liu Zhengfeng was narrating, a north wind blew in Hengyang City, causing sand and rocks to fly. The Songshan Sect came in with murderous momentum and surrounded Liu's house.
"I will retire from the martial arts world today and will no longer participate in martial arts affairs."
As the ceremony began, the servant beside him poured rootless water into the basin, and Liu Zhengfeng was about to put his hand into the golden basin.
But then a voice of "Stop" was heard coming from outside the mansion.
Then people from the Shan faction suddenly appeared.
"The Five Mountains Alliance Leader has issued a command, and Uncle Liu is not allowed to retire."
Zuo Lengchan's eldest disciple Shi Dengda appeared holding a flag of the three religions.
When everyone present saw this, they all looked up, and many of them looked at each other in confusion.
Even Master Dingyi of Hengshan and Yu Canghai and others had frowns on their faces.
Only Ning Yuan responded calmly.
Liu Zhengfeng's heart sank, but he didn't panic at all. Instead, he cupped his hands and said, "The Five Mountains Flag was originally made by the Five Mountains Sword Sects together. Seeing the flag is like seeing the leader of the alliance. But now Liu has retired from the martial arts world and is no longer a member of the martial arts world. This is purely my personal matter, so you don't need to accept the flag."
"Humph, if the leader tells you not to leave the martial arts world, you can't leave."
Shi Dengda snorted coldly and waved his hand. Soon the entire Liu Mansion was surrounded. Then dozens of people from the Songshan School brought out Liu Zhengfeng's wife, daughter and two sons from the Liu Mansion.
Liu Zhengfeng's expression changed, and he asked solemnly, "What do you mean?"
"According to the order of the Five Mountains Alliance Leader, keep an eye on your family and don't let any of them escape."
The person who brought Liu Zhengfeng's family said coldly.
Hearing this, there was an uproar in the audience.
The people from the Songshan Sect actually implicated family members, young and old, which immediately made everyone present angry but unable to speak out.
Even Taoist Tiansong, who has always hated evil and was upright, looked angry.
Master Dingyi of Hengshan also had an unhappy look on her face.
"You are going too far. If the people of Songshan Sect want to use their numbers to bully the few, the major sects present will never allow it."
Master Dingyi stood up angrily and shouted loudly.
The situation was at a stalemate for a moment, and Liu Zhengfeng was about to wash his hands again.
A sword was kicked over, knocking over the golden basin, and then a foot stepped on the golden basin, saying coldly: "Senior Brother Liu, the leader has ordered that you are not allowed to retire from the underworld."
Ning Yuan looked at the scene indifferently and drank tea silently.
"Why not? Leader Zuo, aren't you meddling too much in some matters?"
Liu Zhengfeng asked directly.
Fei Bin, one of the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan and Zuo Lengchan's junior brother, stepped out and said, "My fellow martial artists, Liu Zhengfeng has colluded with the evil sect Dongfang Bubai, which will allow him to escape easily."
"What? Demonic Cult?"
"Dongfang Bubai?" Everyone present looked tense when they heard Dongfang Bubai's name.
"what on earth is it?"
Many people asked in confusion.
Liu Zhengfeng knew that the other party was well prepared, but he remained calm and just smiled and said, "Fei Bin, I haven't even met Dongfang Bubai, so how can there be collusion?"
"Moreover, with my strength, how can I be worthy of being in the eyes of Dongfang Bubai and collude with him?"
"You don't know Dongfang Bubai, but the Demon Cult has a guardian elder named Qu Yang. Do you know him?"
Fei Bin asked with a sneer.
Hearing his sworn brother's name, Liu Zhengfeng's heart sank, and he immediately said, "He and I are just close friends in music, and we don't want to get involved in the affairs of good and evil. We just want to retire from the martial arts world and enjoy the music together."
"So, you and the Demon Cult elder Qu Yang are indeed sworn brothers?"
Fei Bin immediately sneered, "As a disciple of the righteous sect, you became sworn brothers with the elders of the Demon Sect. And you still say that you didn't collude with the Demon Sect?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of those who had previously stood on Liu Zhengfeng's side also changed.
Even Master Dingyi couldn't help but say, "Since it's related to the Demon Cult, Senior Brother Liu, why don't you kill Qu Yang yourself, sever the connection, and make your position clear."
"Correct!"
Other martial artists also echoed this.
Liu Zhengfeng looked unhappy. He certainly couldn't do such a thing. He couldn't help but look at Yue Buqun, who was known as the Gentleman Sword in the martial arts world.
I hope to get some fair words from Gentleman Sword.
If it were in the past, he would naturally be disappointed, but unfortunately, the current Yue Buqun is no longer Yue Buqun.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, even Yue Lingshan and Ning Zhongze behind her looked at Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan put down the teacup in his hand slowly and stood up. "We are a reputable and upright sect. What makes us different from the Demon Sect is that we need to have morality."
"No matter whether Liu Zhengfeng and the Demon Sect elder Qu Yang are in cahoots with each other or whether it is hard to find a soulmate, this matter should not involve his family."
"As the saying goes, the affairs of the martial world are the affairs of the martial world. If the grudges in the martial world all involve families, then who among you present doesn't have a family?"
Ning Yuan sneered, "I see that when the time comes, everyone will be in danger."
"Yue Buqun, are you also going to collude with the Demon Cult?"
As soon as Ning Yuan said this, Fei Bin immediately turned around and glared at Ning Yuan.
Among the Five Mountains Sword Sects, Songshan has always been the most respected, and the power of this one sect overwhelms the other four.
As long as they had the moral ground, the four sects would not dare to object. But now the other party openly defied the leader's orders and refused to give them face, which naturally made the people of Songshan Sect furious.
"What a big hat!"
Ning Yuan was not afraid at all, and just said coldly: "Is Songshan trying to use this as an excuse to exclude dissidents?"
"Are you going to accuse anyone who dares to oppose you of colluding with the devil's cult?"
Hearing this, everyone in Huashan behind him immediately held their heads high and puffed out their chests.
No one from the major sects present dared to rebel against Songshan. Only their own leader dared to fight against injustice, which naturally made people feel honored.
"I didn't expect Gentleman Sword to be so eloquent. Now we are discussing Liu Zhengfeng's collusion with the Demon Cult. He has personally admitted it. Since he colluded with the Demon Cult, shouldn't his entire family be exterminated?"
As he spoke, Fei Bin suddenly stabbed a sword into the body of Liu Zhengfeng's eldest son.
Suddenly blood splattered out.
The sudden sword strike was beyond everyone's expectations.
"son!"
Liu Zhengfeng's eyes were wide open, his face full of shock and anger.
There was an uproar at the scene, and many people took a step back in fear.
Obviously, he didn't expect the people of Songshan Sect to be so cruel and decisive.
"This is the outcome of colluding with the Demon Cult, Sect Leader Yue, you should think twice!"
Fei Bin sneered at Yue Buqun.
After all, he is Zuo Lengchan's fourth junior brother and one of the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan. His strength is stronger than the leaders of the other four sects of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.
As they are both at the same level of leader, naturally they have nothing to fear.
Even Ning Zhongze was a little nervous and looked at Yue Buqun.
The other Huashan disciples were also on high alert, vigilantly staring at the people from the Songshan Sect coming from all directions.
This time, hundreds of people from the Songshan Sect came.
And their Huashan sect has only a dozen or so disciples.
There were less than ten people coming this time.
There is no way they can compare to the large population and power of Mount Song.
"Are you threatening me?"
Ning Yuan stepped forward and sneered, "Fei Bin, you are not qualified to threaten me. Let Zuo Lengchan do it first."
This made Fei Bin's face even uglier. "Yue Buqun, how dare you disrespect the leader's flag?"
"The leader's flag is revered by all the Five Mountains. Seeing the flag is like seeing the leader. Today, you not only support Liu Zhengfeng who is colluding with the Demon Cult, but also become an enemy of Songshan. It seems that you have second thoughts!"
Fei Bin scolded harshly.
Ning Yuan's face turned cold, "Fei Bin, I am the head of Huashan, not your disciple of Songshan. You are not qualified to scold me. How dare you bully the weak and look down on them today? If you spread this, do you really think that Huashan is afraid of Songshan?"
"Good Gentleman Sword, you are indeed courageous. Since you want to endorse Liu Zhengfeng, you must be prepared for backlash!"
At this time, another cold voice was heard.
But then Zuo Lengchan's third junior brother, Lu Bai with the Crane Hand, walked out.
"I know for sure that I am not Zuo Lengchan's lackey. It is impossible for me to follow Zuo Lengchan's orders unconditionally. As for the price, you must have the strength to pay it."
Ning Yuan put his hands behind his back, held his head high and spoke calmly.
Liu Zhengfeng listened to Yue Buqun's righteous words and smiled gratefully at Ning Yuan. Then he looked at the people from Songshan in front of him and said with emotion: "Three of the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan have come. It's really a big event. I didn't expect that I, Liu Zhengfeng, would be worthy of such treatment. It's really an honor!"
Thanks to SuibianX for the 3000 points reward!
