Chapter 61 The Battle of Huashan

Chapter 62 The Battle of Huashan

Behind Mount Hua, at the Cliff of Repentance.

This time, Linghu Chong was willing to be punished by being confined to his room to reflect on his mistakes. The last time he let a wolf into his house, which almost caused a serious mistake, it really made him start to reflect on himself.

Just then, he suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Senior Brother, look, who's come to see you?"

Upon hearing Yue Lingshan's voice, Linghu Chong was overjoyed and immediately rushed out. When he saw Li Ping and the other two, his heart skipped a beat, but he still politely clasped his hands and said, "Greetings, Hero Li, Heroine Huang, and Heroine Su."

Li Ping and his two companions arrived at Mount Hua, and Yue Buqun was overjoyed.

Li Ping was outwardly very warm towards him, but inwardly he was wary.

Li Ping and the other two analyzed the assassination together. What was strange was why those people knew they would take this route.

Li Ping was certain that it was impossible for someone with hostility to have been following him without his knowledge.

So those people knew they were going to Mount Hua and set up an ambush in advance, but very few people actually knew they were going to Mount Hua.

Li Ping even suspected that this matter was related to Lao Yue!

But later it was discovered that Yue Buqun had actually leaked this information long ago, clearly intending to use Li Ping to create momentum for him.

rely on it!

If it weren't for the Dugu Nine Swords, I wouldn't have come!

So Li Ping finally managed to get rid of Yue Buqun's "enthusiasm," and Yue Lingshan led them to the Cliff of Contemplation.

When Linghu Chong arrived, he naturally brought along fine wine and meat, but Linghu Chong surprisingly said, "Thank you, Master Li, but I have decided to give up drinking."

Li Ping was taken aback. Linghu Chong had actually given up drinking?

The sun rose in the west.

It seems that Jiang Yulang's last experience left him with a deep psychological scar. Can a person's experiences really have such a significant impact on their personality?!

Li Ping said, "Not drinking is a good thing; drinking leads to promiscuity and mistakes."

"Speaking of Mount Hua, it truly is a wonderful place. I wonder if you've heard the story of Emperor Taizu of Song losing a game of chess at Mount Hua?"

Yue Lingshan laughed and said, "Of course, I've heard the story of Ancestor Chen Tuan so many times since I was a child that my ears are practically calloused."

Li Ping continued, "Many interesting things have happened at Mount Hua in the martial arts world. Have you heard of the Mount Hua Sword Tournament?"

Linghu Chong and the other man were somewhat bewildered.

Li Ping said, "During the Southern Song Dynasty, a martial arts manual of unparalleled skill appeared, called the Nine Yin Manual."

"The Nine Yin Manual caused a bloodbath in the martial arts world, and was eventually obtained by Wang Chongyang."

Yue Lingshan exclaimed in surprise, "Did Patriarch Chongyang obtain the Nine Yin Manual? No wonder he was so powerful—"

Li Ping took out the juice he had prepared, poured several bowls for everyone, and said, "No, he was already very powerful before he obtained the Nine Yin Manual."

"At that time, the five most outstanding masters in the world held a sword competition here to determine the ownership of the Nine Yin Manual. This event was known as the Mount Hua Sword Competition."

"Interestingly, of all the masters who participated in the Mount Hua Sword Tournament, it seems that only Master Chongyang used a sword, and he ultimately won the title of the best in the world."

"But among all the masters of swordsmanship throughout history, Master Chongyang may not be the most outstanding."

Li Ping almost wiped a cold sweat from his forehead. Had I been too long in my preparation?

I just wanted to be natural.

Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan were both a little unconvinced. Yue Lingshan said, "Since Patriarch Chongyang has already won the title of the best in the world, how come his swordsmanship isn't the most outstanding?"

Li Ping said, "If we're talking about the most outstanding swordsmanship in the world, in my opinion, it's very likely to be Dugu Qiubai's Dugu Nine Swords."

Yue Lingshan exclaimed in surprise, "Dugu Qiubai? What an arrogant name! Is the Dugu Nine Swords even stronger than the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique?"

Li Ping shook his head and said, "The essence of the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique is actually an internal energy cultivation method. If we're just talking about the sword technique itself, it might not be as good as the Dugu Nine Swords."

Li Ping came seeking sword techniques, and naturally he was very humble.

Yue Lingshan clicked her tongue in astonishment: "Even the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique can't compare? How powerful must the Dugu Nine Swords be?"

Li Ping said, "It's not difficult to see the Dugu Nine Swords, because those who know the Dugu Nine Swords are the masters of your Huashan Sect."

Originally, Li Ping wanted to elaborate on the four-fold sword theory of the Dugu Nine Swords, but he sensed the presence of a master early on. Who else could it be but Feng Qingyang?

So, I really don't want to waste any more words.

He said, "Mr. Feng Qingyang, I, Li Ping, humbly request an audience."

Then, a sigh rang out: "Young friend, your cultivation is so advanced that you were able to detect my presence so easily."

An old man in a green robe appeared from behind the rocks, his expression somber and his face as purple as gold.

Yue Lingshan and the other woman were taken aback. Feng Qingyang?

Senior from Mount Hua, of the Qing generation, isn't this our Grand Uncle?

Why have I never heard my father (master) mention this?

Yue Lingshan asked in surprise, "Senior, are you really my grand-uncle?"

Linghu Chong was also skeptical, and he became very cautious.

Feng Qingyang chuckled: "Even if I admit it, that brat Yue Buqun might not acknowledge me."

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingshan's face fell. Why did he start by talking about my father like that?

Li Ping said, "This matter is very complicated, stemming from some things that happened in the early days of your Huashan sect, so I won't go into details."

"Master Feng, I have come here only to seek the Dugu Nine Swords."

Yue Lingshan was taken aback, then felt a little disappointed. So, Master Li had come to Mount Hua only for the Nine Swords of Dugu!

I thought—

Yue Lingshan, you're so silly.

She felt so sad that she almost burst into tears.

Feng Qingyang said, "The Dugu Nine Swords should indeed be passed down, otherwise I'll take it to my grave."

"But why should I send it to you?"

Li Ping said, "Because I found you three disciples who are most suitable for the Dugu Nine Swords."

Feng Qingyang looked at Li Ping and the other two and said, "The three of you?"

Li Ping pointed at Huang Rong, Su Ying, and Linghu Chong, saying, "The three of them."

Linghu Chong was taken aback. Why am I involved? This is clearly not the Huashan sword technique!

Li Ping mainly thought that if he directly asked someone to pass on the sword technique to an outsider, Feng Qingyang might feel awkward and would have to spend a lot of time explaining. However, if he included a disciple of the Huashan Sect, Feng Qingyang should be more willing to accept it.

Although he said he had nothing to do with Mount Hua, it's clear from the plot that he had a deep affection for it.

Li Ping continued, "Moreover, I can promise that if Mount Hua encounters a crisis, I can save Mount Hua once."

At this moment, Yue Lingshan said, "Hero Li has already saved Mount Hua once before—"

She recounted how Li Ping had exposed Laudlow as an internal traitor and told them about Zuo Lengchan's plot against the Huashan Sect, but she didn't mention anything about herself.

Although she was heartbroken, she still wanted to help Li Ping learn the sword technique.

After a long silence, Feng Qingyang said, "Zuo Lengchan harbors wolfish ambitions. Sword Sect disciple, Sword Sect disciple, what is the point of all this?"

"I can grant your request, but how can I be sure you can keep your promise?"

In any case, he didn't want to see the Huashan Sect be merged into another sect!

Li Ping drew his sword and said, "I humbly request your guidance, Elder Feng—"

Feng Qingyang said, "Very well, I have long heard of the profound mysteries of the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique. It's just a pity that when Lord Yuan Tu was renowned throughout the martial world, I was still young and had no chance to witness it!"

Li Ping stopped talking and thrust his sword, appearing to the right one moment and then suddenly to the right the next, making it impossible to predict!

Feng Qingyang's eyes lit up, but he didn't even have a chance to praise the swordsmanship.

Because it's too fast!

He was so focused that he dared not be distracted for even a moment.

Li Ping seemed to transform into a wisp of smoke, like a dense net, enveloping Feng Qingyang.

Feng Qingyang's sword speed didn't seem particularly fast, yet he exchanged over a hundred sword blows with Li Ping in the blink of an eye.
