Volume 3 Huashan Xiaoao Chapter 27: Leader, Leave
Fang Zheng was repelled by Yue Buqun with a palm in front of the leaders of the other three Five Mountains Sword Sects. When he learned that Feng Qingyang was already half a step into the innate realm, he realized that the rise of the Huashan Sect was inevitable and unstoppable.
Under such circumstances, he couldn't plead for Zuo Lengchan and the Songshan Sect, but he had no choice but to do so.
He took advantage of the moment when Yue Buqun led Ding Yi and others to the front yard to prepare for the "public trial" to say a few words to Feng Qingyang.
"Senior Feng, Zuo Lengchan plotted to unite the Five Mountains, and his methods were despicable and vicious, so he is guilty. But most of the Songshan disciples who accompanied him made mistakes under Zuo Lengchan's instigation.
Moreover, the Five Mountains Sword Sects have been closely connected for nearly a hundred years, so I hope that the Huashan Sect can show some mercy this time and give the Songshan Sect disciple who made the mistake a glimmer of hope."
Feng Qingyang stroked his beard and smiled, saying: "Master Fangzheng, you worry too much. Even if you didn't say this today, my Huashan Sect would not have planned to kill Zuo Lengchan and others.
But since Zuo Lengchan has done such a conspiracy against his fellow disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, I'm afraid he won't be able to be the leader of the alliance anymore."
After hearing what Feng Qingyang said, Fang Zheng and Chongxu looked at each other and couldn't help feeling ashamed.
Previously, they thought that the Huashan Sect would use this incident to exclude the Songshan Sect from the Five Mountains Sword Sects, and then suppress it and make it disappear from the martial arts world.
Unexpectedly, the Huashan Sect just wanted to remove Zuo Lengchan's title as the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sects.
So he couldn't help but put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name, saying: "Amitabha, Huashan Sect has such a broad mind, which is truly the style of a famous and upright sect. I admire it."
"Master Fang Zheng, thank you for your praise."
After this conversation between Feng Qingyang and Fang Zheng, the matter was finally settled.
Therefore, the upcoming public trial of the Five Mountains Sword Sects was actually just a formality.
Regardless of whether the people of Songshan Sect were willing or not, Zuo Lengchan was stripped of his title of leader by the four sects headed by Huashan Sect and his leader's flag was taken back.
Then, a new leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sects would be elected.
This time there was no need for even a martial arts competition, as the other three factions all elected Yue Buqun as the new leader.
Yue Buqun pretended to be humble and declined the position at first, but when hundreds of people from Huashan Sect and the other three sects unanimously invited him to take over the position of leader for the third time, he smiled and agreed...
After the public trial, Ding Mian and Tang Ying'e of the Songshan School took Zuo Lengchan and other disciples of the Songshan School away directly.
Among these people, except Zuo Lengchan whose Dantian was destroyed and whose power was lost, the others also had their meridians damaged and blood flow in their limbs blocked because Su Yan's innate true qi had controlled their acupoints for more than a month. Not only did their martial arts skills become useless, they even had difficulty moving, and were no different from being disabled.
There were only 12 of the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan Sect left after Fei Bin's death, and now 10 more have been disabled. In addition, the dozens of elite disciples who were taken to Fujian have also been disabled. It can be said that their strength has been reduced by 70% to 80%.
However, in addition to Zuo Lengchan and the Thirteen Guardians, the Songshan Sect also has hundreds of disciples, and its strength is stronger than the other four sects combined.
Therefore, even though their strength has been greatly reduced this time, they are still stronger than the Hengshan, Taishan, and Hengshan sects.
Of course, it is obviously inferior to Mount Huashan.
Although the Huashan Sect still has only about a hundred people, it has left the Songshan Sect far behind in terms of masters.
The people from Songshan Sect left, but the people from the other three sects stayed in Yuquan Courtyard and had a banquet to celebrate Yue Buqun's succession as the new leader.
Not only that, even Fang Zheng and Chongxu did not leave, but took the opportunity to ask Feng Qingyang some questions about martial arts practice.
In this way, the people of Huashan Sect stayed with the other three sects as well as Fangzheng and Chongxu in Yuquan Courtyard until night, and arranged for them to stay before returning to Huashan.
After returning to Mount Huashan, Yue Buqun had just taken a break and was about to wash his feet when he heard Lin Pingzhi asking for a meeting outside.
Yue Buqun thought about it for a moment and let him in.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Pingzhi entered the room, he knelt down and handed an old cassock to Yue Buqun.
Seeing this, Yue Buqun probably guessed Lin Pingzhi's intention, but he deliberately frowned and asked: "Pingzhi, what do you mean?"
Lin Pingzhi lowered his head and said, "Disciple is willing to present the Sword Manual of Exorcism to the sect, and only asks Master to accept this disciple as his true disciple."
If it were a year ago, Yue Buqun might have been very excited when he saw the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism right in front of him.
But now that he knew the training requirements of the Sword of Exorcism, and he had practiced Xiantian Gong himself, as well as several exquisite martial arts left by the Quanzhen Sect, he no longer envied the Sword of Exorcism, and even felt a little disgusted.
If there is a choice, who would practice a martial art that requires castration?
Do you think that beards are unsightly? Or do you think it is uncomfortable to pee while standing?
Although he disliked the Sword Manual of Exorcism, Yue Buqun did not show it in front of Lin Pingzhi. He sighed and said, "Pingzhi, this Sword Manual of Exorcism is an heirloom in your family after all. How can you give it away casually?"
After Lin Pingzhi's family was destroyed, his emotional intelligence rose sharply. Upon hearing this, he said, "Since the day Master accepted me into Huashan, Huashan has been my home. This Sword Manual of Exorcism belongs to Pingzhi, and also to Huashan."
Look at what you said. Doesn’t it contradict what you said before?
However, Yue Buqun liked Lin Pingzhi's attitude, so he sighed and said, "Hey, kid... Well, I will keep the Sword Manual of Exorcism for you, and in a few days, I will officially accept you as my true disciple."
Lin Pingzhi burst into tears of joy and immediately kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Master! I will never forget your kindness!"
…
Su Yan knew that Yue Buqun had received the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism and accepted Lin Pingzhi as his true disciple, but he did not say anything.
Because as early as when Linghu Chong went to Fuzhou to get the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism, he had read it once and memorized all its contents.
In his opinion, the Book of the Sword of Exorcism certainly has its unique features, such as the rapid circulation of true energy, which makes the practitioner's body movements like a ghost, and his attacks are swift and difficult to guard against.
But if you compare it carefully, it is not as good as Xiantian Gong in terms of internal strength, and it is far inferior to Dugu Nine Swords in terms of swordsmanship.
Unless the defect of "If you want to practice this skill, you must castrate yourself first" can be solved, it can only serve as a reference material for others.
For example, when he had nothing to do, he would refer to the Sword Manual of Exorcism and research a method that could speed up the circulation of true Qi. Although it only had 30% to 40% of the effect of the Sword Manual of Exorcism, it was still quite useful.
Apart from studying martial arts, Su Yan has nothing to do on weekdays.
Since Yue Buqun became the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, the Huashan Sect's reputation has greatly increased, and the simulation achievement value has also soared by several hundred points, breaking through the 5,000-point mark again.
But then, the increase in simulation achievement value became extremely slow.
Seeing this situation, Su Yan thought of a way, which was to let the Huashan Sect increase its external forces.
Just like what Zuo Lengchan of Songshan Sect did before, he bribed and recruited wandering people from all walks of life to serve as the sect's periphery, that is, as thugs.
The Huashan Sect is now rich, powerful, and prestigious, and with the addition of elixirs like the Yunqi Pill, it is not difficult for it to recruit people from the martial arts world.
As a result, after Yue Buqun tried to do it according to Su Yan's requirements for two months, the simulation achievement value actually decreased instead of increased!
Seeing this, Su Yan quickly stopped the action and even asked Yue Buqun to directly disband the recruited people from the martial arts world, which allowed the simulation achievement value to rise again.
'It seems that the sect's achievement value cannot be increased simply by improving the sect's strength and influence. Expanding the influence carelessly may even be harmful.
In this case, doesn't it mean that if I continue to stay in the Laughing Proud World, the simulation achievement points I will gain in a few years will be very limited?'
Realizing this, Su Yan knew it was time to leave.
So, one and a half years after entering the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer, Su Yan instructed Yue Buqun, Feng Qingyang, Linghu Chong and others on some things , and then used his spiritual consciousness to touch the vortex of "The World of All Heavens" below the sect's page.
An information box immediately appears on the simulator interface——
"Dear user, you have been in this world for eighteen months and three days. Do you want to leave?"
Su Yan chose "yes".
Then I "saw" another message -
"We are calculating your gains from this simulated tour of the ancestors of the heavens. Please wait..."
