A righteous young hero? But I am a demonic cultist.

Chapter 33 The Ultimate Sword - Sword 1

Huashan Cliff of Contemplation.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and beneath it lay an old man with white hair on a boulder, staring blankly at the sky, lost in thought.

A sudden roar interrupted his thoughts, and he frowned as he looked toward the source of the sound.

I wonder what those two rascals are up to now.

He initially didn't want to pay attention, but the noise grew louder and louder, making it impossible for him to stay quiet.

When he entered the cave, he saw Yue Yuan clutching his head and banging his head against the walls, while Linghu Chong had already been knocked into a cave.

We can't let him keep crashing into it; he might actually die in this hole.

He rushed forward, intending to subdue Yue Yuan, thinking it would be a piece of cake. However, Yue Yuan's strength exceeded his expectations, and he was instead knocked in the stomach by Yue Yuan.

He almost coughed up a mouthful of blood from the impact.

Damn, I was careless.

Fortunately, Linghu Boy had already fainted, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to maintain his masterful demeanor.

Good lad, you actually managed to hurt him.

This time he used all his strength, grabbing Yue Yuan and pinning him against the wall, giving Yue Yuan a "wall slam".

"Good lad, he actually has such strength. Yue Buqun must be blind to have put such a talent on the Cliff of Contemplation."

But since it's come to him, wouldn't it be a waste of Yue Buqun's good intentions if he didn't take advantage of it?

He then patted several acupoints on Yue Yuan's body to calm him down, and then led him back to the straw mat, beginning to inject true energy into Yue Yuan's body.

But as soon as he lost, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

This kid is actively absorbing his true energy.

The key question is, how did this kid manage to lose consciousness?

Fortunately, with Feng Qingyang's help, Yue Yuan survived this ordeal.

At this moment, Yue Yuan was immersed in the world of swords.

What is a sword?

The sword is the king of all weapons, and a virtuous person is upright, honest, and incorruptible.

The same applies to those who wield swords.

Only by forging ahead bravely and facing death head-on can one comprehend the true essence of swordsmanship.

Like Yang Guo's Xuan Tie Heavy Sword, like Xie Xiaofeng's sword, like the Sword Saint's sword, like Chen Ping'an's sword.

Yue Yuan began to slowly comprehend the true meaning of the sword in his mind, starting with drawing the sword and swinging it, practicing step by step.

He practiced the Huashan Sword Technique and the Seventy-Two Styles of the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique over and over again, as if he were tireless.

At first, he practiced very quickly, mastering the Huashan Sword Technique and the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique one move after another. But gradually, he began to slow down, his movements becoming like those of an old man in a park.

A series of insights began to emerge in his mind. With each new understanding, his swordplay became faster. Finally, all his swordplay techniques were combined into one move. He drew his sword and struck.

This attack exhausted all of Yue Yuan's strength, and the space began to crumble, but he was awakened from his slumber.

But as soon as he woke up, he was stared at by four angry eyes.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" He had barely finished speaking when he felt pain all over his body, the kind of pain from superficial wounds. "What did you do to me? Why does my whole body hurt?"

Linghu Chong grabbed him by the collar and roared angrily, "You have the nerve to say that? I don't know what went wrong with you last night, you kept banging your head against the wall, and when I tried to save you, you just sent me flying."

Yue Yuan wiped the drool from his face and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"If it weren't for your grandmaster's intervention, you would have lost your life here."

Upon seeing this, Yue Yuan immediately broke free from Linghu Chong's control and came to Feng Qingyang's side.

"Thank you so much, Grandmaster Uncle, for saving my life. Tell me what you need, and I'll do it for you, even if it's just to steal the courtesan."

The first sentence was fine, but the second sentence hit Feng Qingyang's wound directly. He waved his long sleeves, snorted coldly, and flew out of the cave.

*Slap slap* He slapped himself twice.

That stubborn mouth of hers, always bringing up the most sensitive topics, talking about the most beautiful courtesan, making Old Feng sad again.

Sigh, next time he sees Ren Woxing, he'll definitely slap him.

Why did you have to steal the old courtesan's heart?

Seeing that Feng Qingyang had left, Linghu Chong plopped down next to Yue Yuan and whispered something.

"Junior brother, do you know that last night I turned misfortune into blessing and learned all the sword techniques of the Five Mountains Sect?"

"Really? Where is it?"

Linghu Chong pointed to the cave he had sealed off.

"It's right there, I've sealed it off, no one will find it."

"Are you crazy? Why did you ban him?!"

"Junior brother, you don't understand. Although the Five Mountains Sword Sects are closely connected, sword techniques are very private matters. If you learn someone else's sword technique, it's like stealing their skill."

Yue Yuan was both amused and exasperated by him. How could there be such a naive and foolish young man?

Scholars don't even consider stealing as stealing, yet these江湖人士 (jianghu figures) actually talk about morality. If they cared about morality, wouldn't they have released Tian Boguang long ago?

Executing Tian Boguang would maximize his benefits, allowing him to gain a good reputation while also seizing his martial arts skills.

He shook his head, looked at Linghu Chong seriously, and said, "You, how can you be so superficial? Did you steal the martial arts techniques in this cave?"

Linghu Chong considered it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It doesn't count as stealing knowledge; I learned it openly and honestly."

"That settles it then. Did you go to Hengshan? Taishan? Or Songshan? No, you studied at Huashan. What does it have to do with them?"

Linghu Chong nodded and said, "That's true. What does the martial arts I learned at Mount Hua have to do with other sects?"

"That's the right way to think about it. Not only should you learn it, but you should also call everyone in the entire Huashan Mountain community to learn it. That way, it won't just be your business, it will be the business of the entire Huashan Mountain community."

Linghu Chong thought for a while, "No, junior brother, you're using a fallacy."

Just after he said that, a clear female voice rang out from outside.

"Senior Brother Linghu, Senior Brother Yue, are you inside? I've come to bring you food."

Linghu Chong glanced at Yue Yuan, "This is Junior Sister Liu? Tsk tsk tsk, you've got a way with women..."

"Don't look at me, I don't know what happened either!"

Linghu Chong rolled his eyes. "Stop pretending. I saw you faking your death that day. You're a heartless man. You can forget about Junior Sister Liu."

After saying this, he immediately tidied his appearance, flashed what he thought was a very handsome smile, and rushed out of the cave.

"Junior Sister Liu, you've finally brought us food! You have no idea how hungry we were. It's all thanks to your kind heart, Junior Sister Liu."

"Senior Brother Linghu!"

Since arriving at Mount Hua, Liu Jing has put away her previous fiery temper. Now, dressed in a white brocade robe, she has become intellectual and beautiful, captivating Linghu Chong's attention.

Liu Jing couldn't really say anything, after all, Linghu Chong had done a lot to rescue her.

She couldn't say it, but Qu Feiyan, dressed as a maid behind her, was anything but polite.

"Hey, snap out of it, you're drooling over this."

Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong scratched his head sheepishly, "Well, it's too sunny outside, let's talk inside."

He took the food box from Liu Jing and led the two of them into the cave.

Once inside the cave, he hurriedly began setting out the food, unaware that Liu Jing behind him was heading straight for Yue Yuan.

"Brother Yue."

Yue Yuan nodded indifferently.

She shouldn't get to know him. Judging from Linghu Chong's expression just now, it seems like he's taken a liking to her. She's already taken his fire extinguisher, so it wouldn't be fair for her to get to know him again.

Unfortunately, Liu Jing didn't know how to be discreet at all. "What does Senior Brother Yue mean by this? Are you pretending not to know me?"

Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong felt as if the sky had fallen. How could a girl be so familiar with Yue Yuan, and judging from her resentful tone, the two of them...

Seeing Linghu Chong's expression, Yue Yuan immediately said, "Senior Brother, it's not what you think. I'm really not familiar with her."

Linghu Chong was no longer willing to speak. After glaring at him, he grabbed a chicken leg and stormed out of the cave.

Seeing this, Qu Feiyan covered her mouth and chuckled.

Liu Jing waved to her, "Feifei, you go out too. I have something to say to Senior Brother Yue."
