Chapter 173 Death of Zuo Lengchan!
"Uncle Xiang, you said that my father was trapped under the West Lake, and he has escaped now?"

Luoyang Bamboo Forest.

Ren Yingying met Xiang Wentian and learned the news from him.

"But since he escaped, why didn't he come to see me?"

Ren Yingying muttered to herself.

"Perhaps the leader still doesn't know the whereabouts of the Saint Lady."

Ren Woxing spoke truthfully.

"Since those changes happened after Yue Buqun went to West Lake, then the recent rumors in the martial arts world that Yue Buqun had seen my father and obtained the Star Absorbing Technique are also based on facts, right?"

"Uncle Xiang, how true do you think this is?"

Ren Yingying looked at Xiang Wentian.

Xiang Wentian frowned, thinking deeply, "I don't know about this either, but I believe the leader is not dead, so Yue Buqun would never have killed him."

"But now it is reported that Yue Buqun defeated Zuo Lengchan in public and has become the leader of the Five Mountains."

“Back then, Zuo Lengchan was only slightly weaker than my father. After so many years, Zuo Lengchan’s strength must have improved, but he was defeated by Yue Buqun. My father has been trapped at the bottom of the lake for more than ten years and must be weak. If Yue Buqun really has such strength, I’m afraid my father…”

When Ren Yingying said this, a look of worry appeared on her face.

Hearing this, Xiang Wentian's face changed several times, and then he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Saint Aunt, it shouldn't be possible, right?"

"Perhaps the reason why Yue Buqun has his current strength and can defeat Zuo Lengchan is because he met the leader and obtained the leader's Star Absorbing Technique, which gave him his current strength."

"It's hard to judge this matter. We can only see if we can find Daddy. As long as we find Daddy, it can prove that he is still alive."

Ren Yingying sighed softly, then said with determination, "I will also find a way to go to Huashan and get information from Yue Buqun."

"No, Saint Aunt, this is too dangerous."

"Nothing is certain yet, and Yue Buqun is now the leader of the Five Mountains and the chief of the righteous. If he knew your identity, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble."

Xiang Wentian hurriedly persuaded.

"Uncle Xiang, there is no need to tell you. Besides, my identity is secret. Apart from the top leaders of the Demon Cult, no one knows of my existence, and not many people have seen me. I think as long as I don't reveal my identity, no one will be able to detect it."

"I am acquainted with Linghu Chong of Huashan. With him, we should be able to infiltrate Huashan and look for clues."

"If father really had a deal with Yue Buqun, he might be hiding in Huashan. We can definitely find clues in Huashan, next to Yue Buqun."

Ren Yingying said with a firm look on her face.

"Since Saint Aunt has made up her mind, I will not persuade her any more. But Saint Aunt, don't worry, I will stay with you. I will hide under Mount Hua. If Saint Aunt has any problems, you can let me know."

Xiang Wentian said solemnly.

"Don't worry, uncle."

……

And the other side.

Ning Yuan left the inn late at night.

After watching Zuo Lengchan lead the people from Songshan out of Luoyang and walk into the official road in the mountains, he followed them.

"Zuo Lengchan, why do you think I didn't kill you in public?"

"Is it because you are concerned about other people?"

"No, it would be such a waste to just kill you like that!"

Ning Yuan stood on the branch, and under the moonlight, his shadow seemed even colder and more murderous.

"There are not many people in this world who have your level of cultivation. They must not be wasted easily. Now is the real time to hunt."

Ning Yuan suddenly fell from the treetop.

"who?"

Soon, as the people from Songshan approached, they immediately drew out their swords and shouted vigilantly.

Zuo Lengchan, who was meditating in the carriage, suddenly opened his eyes.

Ding Mian and Lu Bai on both sides immediately urged their horses forward, "Who are you? How dare you block my way to Songshan!"

Ding Mian rode on his horse and shouted loudly.

Ning Yuan was dressed in black, wearing a bamboo hat, and standing with a sword in his arms.

Hearing the question, he slowly raised his head and drew his sword, "I am the one who will kill you!"

As soon as the words fell, a cold light appeared.

Ding Mian and Lu Bai suddenly felt their hair stand on end and they hurriedly drew their swords to resist.

With a clanging sound, Ding Mian and Lu Bai's pupils constricted, and then the hands holding the swords suddenly fell to the ground, and blood spurted.

At the same time, miserable howls were heard.

"what!"

"my hand!"

Ding Mian and Lu Bai staggered back, and all the Songshan disciples around them were shocked.

"kill!"

Someone shouted, and all the disciples of Songshan looked at each other, suppressed their fear, drew the long swords at their waists, and rushed forward immediately.

"kill!"

"You lost your life in vain!"

Ning Yuan snorted coldly and attacked without mercy.

The long sword in his hand seemed like a living thing. With a flash of sword light, no one was left standing around.

In addition to Ning Yuan, there was the carriage in front and Ding Mian and Lu Bai with broken arms leaning on both sides of the carriage.

"Brother, this guy's swordsmanship is so fast. When did such a person appear in the martial arts world?"

Ding Mian's forehead was covered with sweat and he spoke while enduring the pain.

"Since you are dressed so mysteriously, could it be that you are an old acquaintance of Zuo and don't want your true identity to be recognized?"

Zuo Lengchan opened the curtain and appeared on the top of the carriage. "Maybe he is an old acquaintance of all of us."

Zuo Lengchan pointed his sword at Ning Yuan, "Since you are so mysterious, I will reveal your true face!"

Although Zuo Lengchan was also frightened by the opponent's swordsmanship, he had just suffered a loss at the hands of Yue Buqun. Now someone dared to block his way, killed his disciples from Songshan, and wanted to kill him. How could Zuo Lengchan, who was already full of anger, tolerate this?

"Do you really think Zuo is easy to bully?"

Zuo Lengchan roared angrily and used his sword skills fiercely.

Ning Yuan didn't waste any words and used his true energy. After just a few moves, Zuo Lengchan felt the pressure and - the suction!
"The magic of attracting stars?"

"Are you Ren Woxing? How come you suddenly appear?"

Zuo Lengchan's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.

Because in the world today, the only martial art with this kind of characteristics is the Star-Absorbing Art of the Demon Sect's Ren Woxing.

And what he said before, that Yue Buqun was colluding with Ren Woxing, or that he inherited Ren Woxing's legacy, were just casual remarks.

But now, a person who has disappeared for more than ten years and is very likely dead suddenly appears. How can Zuo Lengchan not be shocked?

Ning Yuan chuckled a few times, "Haven't you been looking forward to seeing me?"

Ning Yuan pretended to be hoarse, "Now that you have seen it, I will fulfill your wish."

"Let me see how much progress you have made in the past ten years!"

Ning Yuan used the Bei Ming Divine Art, and the suction force was so strong that it was far beyond the Star Absorbing Art.

With his high level of comprehension at that time, he had already integrated the Star-Absorbing Art into the Beiming Divine Art, taking its essence and removing its dross.

"What? Ren Woxing really showed up?"

Ding Mian and Lu Bai also looked pale.

Although they have confirmed that the deaths of Zuo Ting, Di Xiu and others were caused by the Star-Absorbing Art, there have also been speculations that Ren Woxing has returned to the world, but these are just speculations.

Now that we are facing it, Ren Woxing’s arrogant strength is still frightening.

"Ren Woxing, I've been waiting for you for more than ten years, and you finally showed up."

But facing Ren Woxing, Zuo Lengchan quickly calmed down and even laughed crazily, "It's a good opportunity for me to learn your Star Absorbing Technique, which I created myself!"

Zuo Lengchan showed ecstasy.

His Ice Palm and another secret internal skill he created were specially created to target the Star-Absorbing Technique. They could conceal his true energy and prevent the Star-Absorbing Technique from absorbing his power.

And once the Star Absorbing Art is unable to absorb his power, then the power of the Star Absorbing Art will be reduced by half.

Unfortunately, this martial art had no effect when used against Yue Buqun before.

Now, it's finally time to take effect.

Zuo Lengchan faced Ning Yuan with full confidence.

When the two palms collided, a surge of power suddenly erupted.

Zuo Lengchan, however, had a confident smile on his face. "Ren Woxing, today I will defeat you fairly and squarely..."

Before Zuo Lengchan finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.

"My skills, you..."

"How could you possibly absorb my power?"

Zuo Lengchan shouted in disbelief.

He created this unique martial art specifically for Ren Woxing, in order to counter the Star-Absorbing Art, after he was defeated by him.

I was full of confidence.

But now, the secret skills that he created seemed to have no effect at all.

"Ha ha……"

Ning Yuan did not answer, but sneered twice and silently practiced the Beiming Divine Art.

Ren Woxing only felt that his own skills were pouring into the other party's body like a flood, even more ferocious than before.

"How could this happen?"

Zuo Lengchan was filled with resentment and used the Ice Palm, but as Ning Yuan's true energy surged, the ice that had just condensed exploded.

The powerful suction of the Bei Ming Divine Art made it difficult for him to move, and he could only watch his power slip away.

"Why!"

"Why is this happening!"

Zuo Lengchan let out an unwilling roar.

"This is impossible. The Star Absorbing Technique cannot have such power!"

"No, you're not letting me do whatever I want!"

"Ren Woxing has been arrogant all his life and never hides his true identity. Who are you?"

Zuo Lengchan suddenly reacted, glared at Ning Yuan and yelled.

Zuo Lengchan suddenly made a move and knocked off Ning Yuan's hat.

Zuo Lengchan showed astonishment on his face, because under the bamboo hat was a bronze mask. He still couldn't see the other person's true face.

"Who are you anyway?"

Zuo Lengchan shouted again.

Full of unwillingness.

I thought it was Ren Woxing, but now I think that with Ren Woxing's personality, he would not do such a thing.

If it were Ren Woxing, he would have announced his comeback to the world long ago.

When facing him, he would even mock himself to his face for having made no progress in the past decade.

But the other party used a double disguise.

It is obvious that he is deliberately hiding his identity, fearing that his true appearance will be seen.

This also shows that the true face cannot be seen in public with this identity.

I also know him.

He is even a well-known figure among the upright people in the world.

"Could it be you..."

Thinking of this, Zuo Lengchan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he suddenly reacted and looked surprised, "Yue Buqun?"

Because of all the coincidences and strength, he immediately drew a portrait of a person in his mind.

That is the Gentleman's Sword.

The two sides have fought before, so it goes without saying that they have a grudge against each other.

And the opponent's swordsmanship was indeed better than his own, just like the assassin in front of him.

In this world, there are no more than three people whose swordsmanship is better than mine.

Therefore, it is impossible for a stranger to appear silently with swordsmanship stronger than one's own.

So Zuo Lengchan quickly connected the dots, and the only thing that made him shocked and angry was the Star Absorbing Technique.

"Yue Buqun, it turns out that you really have obtained Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Technique!"

Zuo Lengchan shouted in shock and anger.

Previously at the conference, he just talked nonsense and framed others. He never thought about it, nor did he think that Yue Buqun would practice the Star Absorbing Art.

But he never expected that his words would come true and his frame-up would come true.

"Zuo Lengchan, you are indeed smart, but it's a pity that your cleverness backfired."

Ning Yuan took off his mask, revealing his true face. "I didn't expect you to be able to guess that I practiced the Star Absorbing Technique. If that's the case, why are you so surprised?"

Ning Yuan looked at Zuo Lengchan with amusement.

"It's you! I never thought you would actually..."

Zuo Lengchan gnashed his teeth and reluctantly asked, "What is your relationship with Ren Woxing? Where is Ren Woxing?"

"What do you say?"

Ning Yuan sneered and continued to practice the Beiming Divine Art. Soon Zuo Lengchan turned pale, trembled all over, and could no longer speak.

"Zuo Lengchan, I gladly accept your skills. Thank you for the gift, Master Zuo."

Ning Yuan said softly.

He had long been eyeing Zuo Lengchan's skills, but had never had the chance to make a move.

Now I finally got what I wanted.

Now that Songshan has lost masters like Zuo Lengchan and the Thirteen Guardians, there will be no resistance for him to retake Songshan.

Without Zuo Lengchan, a sinister, despicable and ruthless person hiding in the dark and stirring up trouble, he can concentrate on other things.

No need to worry about fire in the back mountain.

"Yue Buqun, you really are hiding very deeply!"

Zuo Lengchan fell to the ground, gasping for breath, "I was not wrong about you, you are indeed a hypocrite!"

"Thanks for the compliment!"

Ning Yuan casually slashed Zuo Lengchan's throat with a sword.

Not long after, Ding Mian, Lu Bai and others were all killed by Ning Yuan, and their power was drained away.

……

Inside the inn.

Ning Yuan opened the panel and looked at his harvest.

[World: Swordsman, Island of Heroes]

[Countdown to leaving: 860 days (1 day in the main world)]

[Luck: 520 (can be exchanged for the main martial arts)]

[Current identity: Yue Buqun]

[Current Talent: Dual Cultivation of Blessings and Wisdom (Effective, 4 times the Comprehension)]

[Cultivation: Superb (late stage of Qi cultivation, Gangqi realm)]

[Martial arts: Bei Ming Divine Art, Seven-string Invisible Sword, Five Mountains Divine Sword...]

"From becoming the leader of the Five Mountains to killing Zuo Lengchan, my luck increased by 100 points."

"very good."

Ning Yuan showed a look of satisfaction.

After he becomes the leader of the martial arts world and defeats Dongfang Bubai, his luck will surely improve even more.

If the gains from Xiake Island are added, the luck this time will definitely exceed one thousand, or even reach more than fifteen thousand.

At that time, if I push the Bei Ming Divine Art to the level of rebirth, then this journey will be a perfect end.

“This time, after absorbing the power of Zuo Lengchan and several others, although I failed to break through again, my power has increased by nearly 30% compared to before.”

"If I can absorb the skills of one or two more masters like Zuo Lengchan, perhaps I can regain my spiritual enlightenment."

Ning Yuan thought silently, and after digesting Zuo Lengchan's skills, Ning Yuan came to Madam Wang's room.

Before leaving, he had sex with Madam Wang twice. Madam Wang had already fallen into a deep sleep and had no idea he had left. Ning Yuan undressed and lay down on the bed again.

The next morning.

When Mrs. Wang woke up and saw Ning Yuan beside her, her face immediately turned red.

"Brother Yue, why haven't you left yet? Aren't you afraid of being seen by others, by Sister Ning?"

Mrs. Wang said angrily.

"What are you afraid of? After we return to the mountain, I will let you explain the situation to Junior Sister."

Ning Yuan held Madam Wang's hand and looked at her disheveled black hair. He could not help but move, "Madam, come and clean it up for your husband."

Ning Yuan pushed Madam Wang under him without saying a word.

Soon, Ning Yuan showed a relieved expression.

When Ning Yuan left Mrs. Wang's room and met Ning Zhongze.

Ning Zhongze couldn't help but glance at Ning Yuan.

"Brother, there are many people here, you should be careful."

Ning Zhongze couldn't help but remind him.

She actually didn't want to share, but she couldn't handle it alone, so she could only acquiesce. After all, if she stopped him, she would feel ashamed seeing her senior brother in pain.

But I was worried that something might happen and my senior brother’s reputation would be damaged, so I could only remind him.

Some things can only be done in secret.

"Don't worry, Junior Sister."

Ning Yuan comforted softly.

"It's good that you understand, Senior Brother. After all, you have just become the leader of the Five Mountains. There are too many people watching you. Zuo Lengchan will not miss any clues and wants to bring you down."

"Before, they slandered me like crazy without any evidence. If they had evidence, I'm afraid the attack would be even more fierce."

Ning Zhongze was worried.

"Junior sister, what you said makes sense. Only junior sister is so considerate to me."

Ning Yuan held Ning Zhongze's hand and said affectionately.

Ning Zhongze's cheeks blushed slightly, "You and I are husband and wife, this is what I should do."

Near noon, just as Ning Yuan and other factions were preparing to set off and return to the mountains, someone suddenly ran in from outside the city.

"Report!"

A disciple carrying the banner of the Five Mountains Sword Sect rode to Huashan Inn on horseback and suddenly knelt on the ground, "Leader, Zuo, Zuo, the bodies of Sect Leader Zuo and other Songshan disciples were found outside the city."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

"What? What did you say happened to Zuo Lengchan?"

Ning Yuan walked out of the inn with a serious face.

"Alliance leader, Sect Leader Zuo is dead!"

The disciple lowered his head with a sad look on his face.

"This is impossible!"

Ning Yuan flatly denied it, "Zuo Lengchan's martial arts skills are second only to mine. Even if he was injured in the previous battle with me, there are no more than a handful of people in the martial arts world who can kill him. How could he die suddenly?"

"Alliance leader, I am not lying. I saw it with my own eyes."

The disciple who reported back hastened to explain.

At this time, people from Hengshan, Hengshan, Shaolin and Wudang also gathered together.

Apparently he had heard the news too.

"Zuo Lengchan is dead?"

"What happened?"

Everyone asked with a serious look.

"go!"

Ning Yuan's expression also became solemn. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go and take a look together."

"Yes, you will know when you go there."

Fang Zheng also looked solemn.

Zuo Lengchan was previously nominally the number one person on the righteous path.

Now that he was suddenly killed outside the city of Luoyang, everyone naturally felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
