Chapter 74: Linghu Cong Could Not Bear It Anymore

  Mount Heng's Tota Hand Ding Mian came with a fierce momentum, overbearing and arrogant, and captured Liu Zhengfeng's wife and children, forcing them to surrender. Liu Zhengfeng was afraid of being trapped, so even though he had the upper hand against Fei Bin, he didn't dare make a move, and humbly begged Ding Mian to let him and his family leave the Jianghu.

  But the Songshan faction has always been sinister and ruthless, and the leader of the Songshan faction, Tuo Taishan Ding Mian, is also a domineering and arrogant person. How could he compromise with Liu Zhengfeng? Reasoning is useless to him, he believes in fists. Whoever's fist is bigger, whoever gets to decide.

  In Ding Yan's view, Liu Zhengfeng was far from his opponent, and Mo Da, the leader of the Hengshan Sect, did not show up either. It seemed that he was also quite dissatisfied with Liu Zhengfeng. If Mo Da were present, he would have to consider one or two things. As for those so-called heroes in the Jianghu who were present, they were all wall grass, most skilled at blowing with the wind and turning over, who would dare to confront the mighty Songshan Sect for the sake of Liu Zhengfeng, a traitor who colluded with the demonic sect? Such a deal, I believe that as long as one's brain is slightly normal, he will not do it.

  The remaining few hot-headed people who hang the rivers and lakes' righteousness in their mouths, if they dare to take action, will be easily dealt with. The only one that can make him slightly concerned is the leader of the Hua Shan Sect, Yue Buqun. According to Zuo Lengchan's analysis, this Yue Buqun, although known as "Gentleman Sword", has extremely deep schemes, extremely great ambition, and his martial arts are unfathomable, having already reached the peak for many years, with the possibility of breaking through at any time to become one of the top masters in the world. Ding Meng, although quite arrogant, still lacks some confidence when facing Yue Buqun.

  The Songshan Sect made thorough preparations for this plan, taking advantage of the Liu Zhengfeng incident to deal a blow to the other sects of the Five Mountains, laying a solid foundation for the future unification of the Five Mountains Sword Sect under the leadership of the Songshan Sect.

  Zuo Lengchan was a sinister person, but he was also deeply calculating and cunning like a fox. He was very familiar with Liu Zhengfeng's temperament, so he had long prepared a big hat to pin on Liu Zhengfeng, guessing that the sentimental and righteous Liu Zhengfeng would not betray Qu Yang. This way, the Songshan Sect would have an excuse to get rid of one of Hengshan Sect's key figures.

  "Liu Shixiong, your association with the demonic sect's Qu Yang is too deep, seriously affecting the Five Mountains Sword Sect's reputation in the Jianghu. Our Five Mountains Sword Sect has always taken it upon ourselves to eradicate evil and protect the righteous path. It's not suitable for you, Liu Shixiong, to address someone from the demonic sect as 'brother' or 'sworn brother'.

  Ding Mian paced slowly, saying: "When I came, Left Alliance Master instructed me to pass on a message to Liu Shixiong. Considering Liu Shixiong's great contributions to the Five Mountains Sword Sect, Left Alliance Master is willing to give you a chance to redeem yourself. If you can bring back Qu Yang's head within a month, this matter will be forgiven and forgotten, and we'll still be good brothers of the same sect."

  "Hahaha!"

  Liu Zhengfeng burst out laughing bitterly, and after a moment, he calmed down and said in a firm tone: "You all know Liu's character, how could I betray my friends? Qu Da Ge's mastery of music is unparalleled in the world, and he is the only one who truly understands me. I will never do such an unjust thing under the threat of Mount Song Sect."

  "Gentlemen, you have all seen that it's not that the Songshan Sect doesn't uphold justice, but rather Liu Zhengfeng has colluded with the demonic sect and is obstinately refusing to awaken. Today, I, Ding Mian, will represent the Five Peaks Sword Sect and the orthodox path of the Jianghu to clean up this mess." Ding Mian loudly declared to the people present in the Jianghu.

  "Liu Zhengfeng, quickly let go of Fei Shidi, follow me to Mount Song's sect to be punished. Otherwise, don't blame Ding Mou for not showing mercy, and I'll wipe out your entire family." Ding Mian said viciously.

  "Ding's surname, you're pushing people too far. Today, if you dare to move a single hair of my family members, I'll kill this surnamed Fei." Liu Zhengfeng's mind was in great turmoil, and he tightly grasped Fei Bin's neck, shouting loudly.

  Liu Zhengfeng's hands trembled slightly, not daring to move, clearly intimidated. Ding Mian saw it clearly and made up his mind: "Ding has never been threatened by anyone, since you are obstinately refusing to let them go, then bear the consequences."

  Ding Mian finished speaking and suddenly drew out the long sword on his body, accumulating internal strength to shoot backwards at Liu Zhengfeng's wife.

  Not good, it's too late, Yue Buqun's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Ding Meng to be so shameless, actually attacking a woman who doesn't know martial arts. He was still far away and couldn't make it in time to rescue her.

  Fortunately, Linghu Chong had anticipated this and raised the stone in his hand. With a flick of his right wrist, the stone shot out and struck Ding Jian's sword, which was as swift as lightning, knocking it off course. However, due to the demands of the plot, the play still had to continue, so the small stone's trajectory was slightly weak, although it deflected Ding Jian's sword, it was unable to completely knock it down. The sharp longsword instantly slashed open a large gash on Madame Liu's waist.

  The sharp sword slashed Madame Liu and heavily struck the standing pillar behind her, emitting a tremor, revealing the ferocity of the force.

  Mrs. Liu let out a miserable cry, blood gushing out, and fell paralyzed to the ground.

  "Madam!" Liu Zhengfeng was overcome with grief, his tiger eyes brimming with tears.

  "Despicable! The matter of Liu Shidi has not been settled yet, and you, with the surname Ding, have actually laid such a vicious hand on a woman. Can it be said that there is still humanity?" Ding Yi's master shouted angrily, slapping Ding Mian with one palm, and rushed straight to the fallen Liu Fu Ren.

  Ding Yan let out a cold snort, and with a fierce gaze, he decided to take down Ding Yi Shuai. With a burst of energy, he clashed his palms fiercely against hers.

  Although Ding Yi's martial arts were extremely high, they had already reached the late stage of the ultimate peak, but they still couldn't compare to Ding Mian's profound internal strength. When their palms met, Ding Yi was undoubtedly at a great disadvantage and was instantly injured, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he flew backward. Yue Buqun quickly rushed forward and used his soft energy to catch him.

  Ding Yi's wife took a deep breath, her face filled with shame, and said to Liu Zhengfeng: "Liu Shidi, Ding Yi's abilities are limited, I'm afraid we can't do anything about this matter."

  Ding Yi's internal shock was inexplicable, having long heard that the first of the Songshan Thirteen Taibao, Tuo Taishou Ding Mian's martial arts were extremely powerful. She didn't expect it to be this strong, and in a one-on-one fight, perhaps no one from the Hengshan Sect could be his match. This time with Liu Zhengfeng's affair, she was already powerless, and could only watch as the Songshan Sect acted tyrannically. Perhaps the only one present who had the ability to resist Ding Mian was Yue Buqun.

  Ding Yi's eyes were filled with expectation as she looked at Yue Buqun, and the old man naturally wouldn't disappoint her. He had spent the whole night discussing plans with Linghu Chong, wasn't this the moment they had been waiting for? The Hua Shan sect had endured in silence for many years, it was time to shake the Jiang Hu once again.

  Yue Buqun slowly stood up, walked to Ding Meng's side who was in high spirits, and cupped his fists: "Brother Ding, our Five Mountains Sword Sects are connected by the same breath, you holding Liu Shi-di's wife and children hostage, harming unarmed women and children, is truly not right. Later it will definitely be criticized by fellow Jianghu practitioners. Brother Ding should think thrice before acting."

  Ding Bu defeated the famous Ding Yi Shuai, and at this time he was in high spirits. He raised his hand and casually said: "What Brother Yue said is very true, but Liu Zhengfeng also took advantage of my brother Fei, how can our Songshan faction be threatened by him?"

  Ding Yan was not in the Liuyue Guild, he turned around and threatened Liu Zhengfeng: "Liu Zhengfeng, if you don't surrender, don't blame me for being ruthless to your husband."

  Yue Buqun's face changed greatly upon hearing this, and just as he was about to open his mouth to stop him, Linghu Chong on the roof had already become impatient and shouted in a loud voice: "I've long heard that the Mount Hua Sword Sect's Songshan Sect is ruthless and cruel in their actions, with a level of ruthlessness comparable to that of the Devil Cult. Now that I see it for myself, it seems the rumors are true."

  "Who's there? Sneaking around, get out!" Just as Ding Meng was enjoying the pleasant spring breeze, he heard this piercing voice and his lungs nearly burst with rage, letting out a furious roar.
