Chapter 467 The battle between good and evil
"Luo Tianjin and Liu Xunyi, one colluded with a heretic and indulged in depravity. The other was fickle and shameless. Birds of a feather flock together!"

Qin Ming knew that Luo Tianjin and Liu Xunyi were behind all this, but the Shaolin competition was over and "Xuan Shui Xia Juan" was nowhere to be found. Now he could only watch them pretending to be good and singing the same tune. He couldn't help but get angry and started cursing.

"Master Qin, be careful of the trouble caused by your words!" Yan Bugui said coldly.

"Now that the Xianwang Mansion has colluded with the pagans, as a righteous man, how can I be afraid of you?" Qin sneered, "Don't forget, your mansion master still owes me a satisfactory explanation."

"Cough cough!"

Ren Wuya coughed twice and said in a deep voice: "Palace Master Qin keeps saying that we are a heretic. I would like to ask you, what is the right way? What is a heretic? Who made the distinction between good and evil?"

"Right is right, and evil is evil. Since ancient times, right and evil cannot coexist..."

"What? Are heretics the only ones killing people in the martial arts world, while you righteous people are all compassionate and help the poor?" Yun Zhuiyue said, "Little do you know that in terms of being despicable and shameless, and having ulterior motives, who can compare to you hypocritical hypocrites who appear to be righteous?"

Tang Xuan echoed, "Besides, after the martial arts conference, who is righteous and who is evil will be re-determined. Why should Palace Master Qin rush to draw a clear line?"

"Tang Xuan, when will it be your turn to speak here, a traitor?" Tang Yuan said angrily.

"When is it your turn to speak here?" Tang Xuan was not willing to be outdone and sarcastically said, "Which of the four great families is not guilty of blood debt? How dare you speak so arrogantly here!"

"Yun Zhuiyue, if you hadn't spoken, I would have almost forgotten that there is something I want to ask you!" Qin Ming stared at Yun Zhuiyue and questioned, "You sent Xu Ren to Yingchuan, pretending to be the 'Lame Swordsman' to target the Pan family everywhere, but you coveted the 'Xuan Shui Xia Juan'? Last year in Shaolin Temple, the culprit who snatched the 'Xuan Shui Xia Juan' from the young monk Wuchan, were you the one?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Chan's expression suddenly changed, and a hint of nervousness appeared in his eyes as he looked at Yun Zhuiyue.

Qin Ku, on the other hand, looked gloating and watched the excitement with great interest.

"That's just a bunch of nonsense!" Yun Zhuiyue said angrily, "What is 'Xuan Shui Xia Juan'? Don't slander me like that."

"If you didn't steal the 'Xuan Shui Volume 2', why did you let Xu Ren pretend to be me?" Qin Tianjiu asked sternly, "What is your intention?"

"My intentions have nothing to do with you!" Yun Zhuiyue's eyes turned cold, and he asked in a bad tone, "As for taking away the 'Xuan Shui Volume 2', it is completely false. Who is so bold as to make up rumors about me?"

"Luo Tianjin!" Qin Ming turned his contemptuous eyes to Luo Tianjin and sneered, "Last year on the second day of August, in the Qin Mansion in Hexi, he personally pointed out that it was Longxiang Mountain that took away the "Xuanshui Lower Volume". The six major sects and the four major families can all testify to this."

"It's you again!" Yun Zhuiyue's eyes were like knives, shooting straight at the gloomy Luo Tianjin, and she said darkly, "The old debt between you and me has not been settled yet, and now a new debt has popped up! After so many years, you still haven't changed your bad habits, you like to gossip and stir up trouble."

After that, Yun Zhuiyue smiled coldly and said sarcastically: "The six major sects and the four great families are also a bunch of idiots. You believe whatever Luo Tianjin says. Do you have pig brains?"

"How dare you!" Yin Baimei was furious and shouted, "When will it be your turn to comment on the six major sects and the four great families?"

At this moment, Lu Tingxiang turned his gaze to the silent Teng Sanshi and said hesitantly: "Chief Teng, you are a martial arts elder and the leader of the Teng clan. How can you let them talk nonsense and remain silent?"

Facing Lu Tingxiang's instigation, Teng Sanshi hesitated to speak, looking torn. Especially when he heard someone pointing the finger at Jueqing Valley, the entanglement on his face became more intense.

"enough!"

Seeing the two sides arguing, Qingfeng suddenly felt upset and said in a deep voice: "The martial arts conference has its own rules. There is no distinction between good and evil today. We are all from the Central Plains martial arts world. Since it is a martial arts competition, we must rely on our own abilities. The capable ones will be promoted and the mediocre ones will be demoted. Don't make up some messy excuses. Insulting each other, slandering each other, and digging up old accounts to argue back and forth are the dirty deeds of market scoundrels. If you can't control your personal grudges, you can leave Huashan and go somewhere else to have a good time. Don't be a clown in front of the heroes of the world!"

Qingfeng was a man of high status and position in the martial arts world. So when he spoke up, the increasingly fierce confrontation suddenly became much more sober and gradually calmed down.

"Amitabha!" Xuanming put his hands together and tried to calm things down. "Master Qingfeng is right. Since the rules of the martial arts conference have been set, all donors must abide by them. Don't act on impulse and turn the martial arts event into a joke."

Seeing Qingfeng and Xuanming express their positions one after another, even though Qin Ming, Lu Tingxiang and others were unhappy, they did not dare to speak rashly.

Although Ren Wuya and Yun Zhuiyue disdained the intimidation from Shaolin and Wudang, they were not interested in what Wen Qingfeng and the other man said, as they were fair and just.

Although the storm has subsided, the atmosphere lingering on the top of Mount Huashan at this time is very different from before.

Seeing that both sides had made concessions, Xu Qingnian stepped forward slowly and said in a friendly manner, "Please consider the overall situation and refrain from stirring up unnecessary disputes."

Having said this, Xu Qingnian asked Ren Wuya again: "Palace Master Ren, what do you think..."

Ren Wuya stared at Qin Ming, Lu Tingxiang and others expressionlessly and ignored Xu Qingnian's questions.

"Well then!" Xu Qingnian said in a clear voice, "It's getting late. If Palace Master Ren and Saint Master Yun are ready, please get started!"

After saying that, Xu Qingnian said no more and turned to leave.

"Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace, Jade Dragon Hall Master Dong Yuan, would like to learn from the friends of Longxiang Mountain."

With a loud shout, Dong Yuan flew onto the stage, and quickly came to the center of the sword arena, swinging the three-foot-long sword to his side. Dong Yuan was born with big ears and a burly figure, and he looked quite majestic and domineering when he stood on the sword arena.

"Xu Ren from Longxiang Mountain, please teach me!"

Immediately afterwards, Xu Ren, with a gloomy face, flew out from the sidelines and turned over and landed in front of Dong Yuan.

The two men did not exchange much greetings. As soon as they met, they showed their abilities and fought with swords and sabers in a clanging sound.

"He is the person who pretended to be me in Yingchuan?"

On the sidelines, Qin Tianjiu looked at Xu Ren who was fighting hard with Dong Yuan and said quietly, "What a courageous guy!"

"Xu Ren is one of the Ten Impermanences of Longxiang Mountain, and Dong Yuan is the leader of the Twelve Hall Masters of Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace. Both of them are good fighters." Qin San explained, "In terms of scheming, Dong Yuan, who is in charge of a hall, may be more capable. But in terms of martial arts alone, I'm afraid Xu Ren has the upper hand."

"Longxiang Mountain is different from Yulong Palace. One is huddled in a corner and meticulously carved. The other is rapidly expanding and swallowing everything whole. From the Saint Lord to the 100 Dragon Elephant Envoys on Longxiang Mountain, the total number of people may not be as many as a branch of Yulong Palace." Qin Ming said, "Dong Yuan rose to power by relying on his cunning and scheming, plus a little favor from his skirts. Don't forget, his sister is Dong Xiaoer, the leader of the Fire Phoenix Banner of Yulong Palace. On the other hand, Xu Ren was able to rank among the Ten Impermanences by relying on real killing and means. Therefore, in a one-on-one, head-on confrontation, Dong Yuan is not as good as Xu Ren."

"I've heard that the status of Longxiang Mountain is determined by the number of kills. Is it true or not?" Lu Tingxiang watched the battle with curiosity and asked Jin Fuyu who was not far away.

"That's true!" Jin Fuyu said with a smile, "The four great Dharma protectors of Longxiang Mountain are 'the unrighteous divine monk' Si Wudao, 'the evil tiger of Nanshan' Shao Yuanqing, 'the ghost hand Rakshasa' Tang Xuan, and 'one blood every ten steps' Wuming. They are all murderous demons who regard human life as worthless and have their hands stained with blood. Rather than saying that they have walked to this day by stepping on corpses one after another, it is better to say that under the feet of each of them, there is a pile of corpses filled with wronged souls. There is a saying in the martial arts world, 'the dragon and the elephant build a monument building, the ten impermanence swim in the sea of ​​blood, the four great Dharma protectors take turns to sit, and millions of people will not get to the end.' Although it is a joke, it can also show the strictness of Longxiang Mountain in training masters."

"No wonder a sect with only a hundred people can have such a huge influence in the martial arts world."

While expressing emotion, the winner and loser in the sword-fighting arena had already been decided.

As everyone expected, Xu Ren defeated Dong Yuan in just sixty rounds, leaving him without the strength to fight back.

After Dong Yuan, the Jade Dragon Palace sent out the head of the Jade Rat Hall, Yang Huai.

Yang Huai's martial arts skills were on par with Dong Yuan's, and he was no match for Xu Ren. However, Xu Ren had just fought a big battle with Dong Yuan, and had consumed a lot of energy. In addition, Ren Wuya ordered Yang Huai to take Xu Ren down, so Yang Huai was determined to fight Xu Ren to the death, and his desperate fighting style not only added a lot of momentum to himself, but also made Xu Ren lose his composure.

Therefore, the fight between Xu Ren and Yang Huai was far from being as easy as the previous one. The two fought quite fiercely until the 130th round, when both were injured.

After two consecutive matches, one draw and one loss, Tianshan Yulong Palace was temporarily at a disadvantage, but the gap was not big. The last two matches were just contests between juniors, and none of the real masters from both sides appeared.

"Palace Master, who shall we send next?" Seeing that the battle was not going well, Dong Xiaoer couldn't help but look worried.

"What do you think?" Ren Wuya didn't seem to be worried, and asked calmly, "Why don't we send you to the field?"

Dong Xiaoer was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "If you send me to the field, Xiaoer will definitely help the Palace Master to win back a game!"

"Since you are willing to fight, there is no harm in giving it a try." Ren Wuya said nonchalantly, "I expect Yun Zhuiyue to send a guardian to fight. This time, Yun Zhuiyue only brought two masters, Si Wudao and Tang Xuan. Of the two, Si Wudao has higher martial arts skills, but fighting with Tang Xuan is more dangerous. If we meet, how confident are you?"

"This..." Dong Xiao'er hesitated and said, "If I meet Si Wudao, I may have a 50% chance of winning. If I meet Tang Xuan, I may have a 70% chance of winning."

"Oh? Aren't you afraid of his hidden weapons?"

"Although Tang Xuan is very good at developing hidden weapons, his skills in using them are far inferior to his brother Tang Yuan. Let's not talk about secretly hurting people, but in a face-to-face fight, Tang Xuan is not to be feared."

Ren Wuya smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "It is worthy of my making an exception to promote you. You are indeed courageous and wise."

"That……"

"Come here!"

Without waiting for Dong Xiaoer to accept the order, Ren Wuya suddenly waved at her with a hint of secrecy on his face.

Seeing this, Dong Xiaoer quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "What do you want, Palace Master?"

"Remember, you can only lose this battle, not win!"

"Hiss!" Dong Xiao'er was horrified and said in astonishment, "You can lose... but not win? Why is that?"

"No need to ask, I have my own arrangements, go ahead!"
