Chapter 91: Returning with a Full Load (Seeking Bookmarks)
Lin Ping's sword fell, and a generation of top-notch masters returned to the underworld. Mu Gaofeng paid the price of his life for his own arrogance.
As Lin Zhennan and his wife were rescued, the Hua Shan Sect's trip to Hengshan City came to a complete end. The Hua Shan Sect became the biggest beneficiary of the Liu Zhengfeng Jinpen Washing Hands Conference incident. The plan targets discussed by Linghu Chong and Yue Buqun were almost all achieved.
The Liu Zhengfeng family, who were originally dead and soulless, were rescued by Linghu Chong and Yue Buqun. Liu Zhengfeng, a top-notch martial artist in his later years, moved to Mount Hua, and when he recovered from his injuries, the Mount Hua School gained another top-notch master. Although Liu Zhengfeng had not explicitly expressed his intention to join the Mount Hua School, this situation was almost equivalent to it; he and his family's lives were now closely tied to the Mount Hua School, and there was no way to separate them.
Yue Yang, the brilliant and talented martial artist who was also a master of the Sun Moon Holy Cult's scriptures, managed to keep his life and would definitely become one of Dongfang Bubai's most trusted followers in the future. As Lao Denuo had a good relationship with him, and his good friend Liu Zhengfeng was also at Mount Hua, the Hua Shan Sect gained another powerful ally.
The arch-rival of the Hua Shan Sect, Song Shan Sect, suffered a great loss this time. The leader of the thirteen Taibao of Song Shan, Ding Mian, was slapped in the face by Linghu Chong and Yue Buqun alternately, losing all his dignity, which made Yue Buqun's reputation as "Junzi Sword" of Hua Shan Sect even more renowned.
Three Taibao was killed by Laodeno, becoming the stepping stone for Huashan School's rise. Laodeno avenged his great hatred and broke through the bottleneck of his martial arts, becoming another top master of Huashan School.
As for Yu Canghai, he was once again severely humiliated by the Huashan Sect. Not only did Lao Yue snatch people from him in front of his face, but he was also beaten up on the road. The disciples who were guarding Lin Zhen Nan and his wife were killed by Mu Gaofeng, with blood flowing like a river, leaving only one survivor to return and report the news. After planning for so long, Yu Canghai thoroughly became a scapegoat for the Huashan Sect, losing both his wife and soldiers.
Lin Pingzhi, this exceptionally talented martial artist with a great foundation, has joined the Huashan School. With dedication and time, he will undoubtedly become another top-notch fighter for the school. Moreover, the Lin family has been operating in Kyoto for many years, accumulating considerable wealth, and their only son has entered the Huashan School - how could they possibly let their vast fortune be taken advantage of by outsiders?
The Huashan School has gained both fame and wealth this time, taking advantage of the situation and reaping huge benefits. Yue Buqun was overjoyed, his eyes narrowing into a slit as he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. He hastily led his disciples back to the mountain gate.
The only regret is that Lin Zhen Nan and his wife were seriously injured, and Lin Zhen Nan's hands and feet were all broken. Fortunately, Linghu Chong arrived in time, and the two of them managed to keep their lives. As long as they kept their lives, everything else was easy to say. For Hua Shan Sect, one of the few hereditary sects in the world, it was not difficult to completely cure Lin's couple, but only consumed a little bit of foundation and spent some cost.
After several days of traveling through the night, everyone finally arrived at Mount Hua. Yue Lingxuan made a trumpet shape with her hands and excitedly shouted loudly: "We're back home!"
The childlike behavior also made Yue Buqun and Linghu Chong et al. laugh heartily, especially Lin Pingzhi, whose eyes were shining like stars.
Shi Niang Ningzhong received a flying letter from Yue Buqun, calculated the time, and had already made arrangements. As soon as everyone arrived, they went directly to the Huashan Grand Hall. Lin Zhennan and his wife were also arranged by the Huashan School's doctor to recuperate in a quiet small courtyard.
Inside the grand hall of Mount Hua, the atmosphere was lively and bustling. Yue Buqun remained composed and calm, unmoved by either honor or shame, sitting serenely in his seat of honor. Ning Zhongze continued to play the role of a kind mother, constantly showing concern for the many disciples of Mount Hua, asking about their well-being and offering words of comfort. Even Lin Pingzhi, who had just joined the sect, felt a strong sense of maternal love, and was delighted in his heart, thinking that he had finally found the right school to follow, as the Mount Hua Sect truly lived up to its reputation as a sacred place of martial arts in the Jianghu world.
"Brother, was this trip to Mount Heng smooth?" After confirming that his precious daughter and disciples were all safe and sound, Ning Zhong let out a sigh of relief and turned around to ask Yue Buqun.
"This is a long story, I'll tell you the details when we get back to the house and meet with Madame. Yue Buqun sighed: "Lin's parents were severely injured by Mu Gaofeng, but fortunately, our Huashan Sect has a strong foundation, so we can ensure that Lin's life is not in danger. As for the tendon injuries on his hands and feet, they are beyond medical treatment, and only seeking help from a famous doctor can bring a glimmer of hope for recovery."
"Please, Master and Mistress, save my parents. I am willing to serve your household as a servant or even a beast of burden for the rest of my life." Lin Pingzhi knelt down in front of Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, pleading with them.
"Quickly get up, Master and Mistress will definitely not stand idly by, they will certainly do their best to cure your parents." Ning Zhong then hurriedly helped Lin Pingzhi, who was kneeling on the ground with his knees bent, to get up.
Yue Buqun also thought highly of Lin Pingzhi, so he naturally went all out to cure Lin Zhen and his wife. This was also a way for him to put his mind at ease and focus on his martial arts training. He handed the key to his second disciple, Laborde, and told him to go to the storage room to retrieve two White Lotus Jade Dew Pills, a sacred healing medicine that had been passed down through the Huashan School's ancestors, for Lin Zhen and his wife to take.
Lin Ping's natural response was a thousand thanks and countless gratitude.
"Master, now our Huashan School is indeed full of talents, and there's hope for its revival." Ning Zhongze looked at the disciples in the great hall, including Linghu Chong, with satisfaction, saying to Yue Buqun.
Yue Buqun was also overjoyed in his heart. The sword and the fire had a fierce battle, causing the Huashan School to suffer greatly, and his master passed away, leaving him with the heavy responsibility of taking over as the leader of the Huashan School. He took on the task with caution, being careful at every step, and worked hard to slowly restore the vitality of the school. Now, the school is filled with talented people, and the best minds in the world have gathered at Huashan, making it a thriving place.
Apart from Linghu Chong's abnormality, Laodan has also broken through to become a top-notch master. The newly recruited disciple Lin Pingzhi is intelligent and has an excellent foundation, rarely seen in the world. With time, he will be another unparalleled master. Yue Buqun's heart is filled with joy and his mind is imagining the glorious scene of Huashan Sect dominating the Jianghu, invincible under the heavens.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Suddenly, a rhythmic and deafening crash resounded, causing the great hall to shake violently. The Huashan disciples with slightly inferior cultivation lost control of their bodies, stumbling about and unable to stand firm.
"This soul-stirring voice, this shocking scene, could it be that she has arrived?" The familiar shocking image made Linghu Chong's eyes light up, and a majestic figure like a mountain emerged from his mind.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sound grew louder and the tremors more intense, and everyone from Mount Hua turned their gaze towards the outside of the hall. Suddenly, a majestic figure burst into view, its massive body moving swiftly like flying. Its powerful legs and arms shook people's souls, and with one footstep, the ground tiles cracked open with terrifying fissures.
"Master, Big Brother, you're back! Cuihua was worried sick about you!"
