Chapter 71: The Mount Song Sect Has Come To Cause Trouble

  Mu Gaofeng and Yu Canghai exchanged dozens of moves, forcibly taking away Lin Pingzhi who had wanted to reminisce with Yue Lingshan. Lin Pingzhi was easily subdued by Yu Canghai outside Liu Zhengfeng's mansion, unable to resist in the slightest, and it was clear that his martial arts skills were far inferior to Yu Canghai's. If he wanted to rescue Lin Shennan and his wife, relying solely on himself would be as difficult as ascending to heaven; he had to seek external help.

  The wooden peak in front of him, able to resist the old thief Yu Canghai without falling behind, and can leave with ease, it can be seen that this hunchbacked martial arts is unfathomable, if used well, it will certainly be a great help in dealing with the Qingcheng Sect, and the hope of rescuing Lin Zhennan's couple will also increase greatly.

  After experiencing the destruction of his family and the extermination of his household, Lin Pingzhi was no longer the same person who relied solely on his passion and sense of justice, acting impulsively. He was originally intelligent and talented, and after this period of tempering, he had become much more stable in character, and also had a very clear understanding of human nature.

  But Mu Gaofeng agreed to bring him to rescue people, it's definitely not because Lin Ping saved him. This old camel back, although his martial arts are strong, but he has a narrow mind and must repay grievances, kindness and revenge are like daily routines for him. It's absolutely impossible that he would agree to help deal with Qingcheng Sect's Yu Canghai just for this reason.

  Mu Gaofeng, this old camel back is cunning like a fox. He would only agree to help if he had ulterior motives, and now that his family is broken and destitute, there's nothing that can move him. Although I once promised him half of my family's wealth, just looking at his expression tells me that he's not interested in the slightest. This solitary old man from a remote area doesn't need so much wealth, nor does he have the energy to govern Dali.

  It seems that this old camel back must have also taken a liking to the Lin family's evil-warding sword spectrum, just like Yu Canghai. This old beast Yu Canghai is deeply calculating and since he has gone to such great lengths to deal with my Lin family, it can't be for nothing. Thus, I can confirm that my Lin family indeed possesses a supreme martial arts secret manual.

  Lin Pingzi calculated in his heart that he had never heard of this "Bixie Sword Spectrum" from a young age to adulthood, and it was certain that his father Lin Zhen Nan had hidden it somewhere, most likely in the storage room of their old home. In the past, Lin Zhen Nan had said that after Lin Pingzi got married and had children, he would be allowed to see the ancestral heirlooms.

  Mu Gaofeng wants the Lin family's Bian Xie Jian Pu, and Lin Pingzhi also plots to plot, showing a deep-seated hatred, fearless of death, luring Mu Gaofeng into his trap, using his strength to deal with Yu Canghai, the leader of Qingcheng Sect.

  So, in the midst of this, Mu Gaofeng pretended to be moved by Lin Ping's filial piety and agreed to help him rescue Lin Zhennan and his wife. However, this old camel lacked exercise, and his acting skills were really not good, Lin Ping clearly felt that his words did not match his heart. But none of these mattered, the goal had already been achieved.

  Two people secretly returned to Hengshan City, looking for an opportunity.

  ……

  Before he knew it, it was already noon. The Jianghu big shots and heroes invited by Liu Zhengfeng had all arrived at the Liu residence one after another, with only the leader of the Hengshan Sect, Mo Da, and the Songshan Sect being absent.

  The auspicious moment has arrived, Liu Zhengfeng stood up and bowed to the heroes of the rivers and lakes with a loud voice: "Thank you all for your presence at my brother's Golden Basin Washing Hands Conference."

  A group of heroes from the jianghu stood up and returned the courtesy.

  Liu Zhengfeng, although he is the deputy leader of the Hengshan Sect, one of the Five Mountains Sword Schools, is easy-going and humble, with no airs about him, and has a good reputation in the Jianghu, second only to Yue Buqun, otherwise there wouldn't be so many heroes and chivalrous men coming to support him.

  "Gentlemen, I'm sure you all know that Liu has invited all of you here today to announce his retirement from the Jianghu world and will no longer interfere with its affairs." Liu Zhengfeng said solemnly.

  Although everyone already knew, hearing it from Liu Zhengfeng's mouth still caused a stir. Especially the Master Yiyu of Hengshan School was very dissatisfied with Liu Zhengfeng's move. As the vice leader of Hengshan School, one of the Five Mountains Sword Schools, and a pillar of the righteous path, his withdrawal from Jianghu would have a great impact on the Five Mountains Sword Schools.

  Liu Zhengfeng took out a seal, which was indeed the official seal of a small official that he had recently bought from the imperial court at a high price. He glanced around and said to everyone: "I'm sure you brothers don't know, but some time ago I was appointed as a small official by the imperial court, and this is the official seal. This country has its laws, every household has its rules, when doing things for the imperial court, one must follow the rules and regulations, and strictly observe the disciplines."

  "As a member of the Jianghu, I must prioritize loyalty and righteousness. If it goes against national law, wouldn't that put my brothers in a difficult position? So, I've decided to wash my hands clean and exit the Jianghu, no longer involving myself in its affairs. The Hengshan Sect has Master Mo Da as an elder brother, who will surely keep everything in order and peaceful. Losing one person like me won't make much of a difference."

  "Brother, from today on, I will be leaving the Jianghu and becoming an official of the imperial court. From now on, I will no longer be a part of the Jianghu world and will not interfere with its affairs again. Of course, all brothers are still welcome to come visit me at Liu Manor whenever you have time, and I will definitely roll out the red carpet to greet you." Liu Zhengfeng ordered someone to place an incense burner and a golden basin in the main hall, walked slowly forward, stretched out his hands, and was about to put something into the basin.

  "Wait, Liu!"

  A loud and clear shout came from the main gate of the Liu mansion.

  Liu Zhengfeng and a group of Jianghu heroes looked out of the hall together. They saw two majestic figures leading a group of disciples, breaking in through the door and striding forward. It was the 13th Taibao of the Songshan Sect, Tuo Taishou Ding Mian and Da Songyang Shou Fei Bin, who had arrived with a group of Songshan Sect disciples.

  Linghu Chong gazed at the two leading Taoist priests on the roof, muttering to himself, "Old Yue said there were three Taoist priests coming to cause trouble, why is one missing?"

  Looking at the mighty Mount Song crowd, Liu Zhengfeng's heart skipped a beat, secretly calling out that things were not going well, and this time's plan to retire from Jianghu might not be so smooth after all.

  As expected, Daxiong Yang took out a command flag from his bosom and said to Liu Zhengfeng: "I am acting on the orders of the Left Alliance Master, instructing Brother Liu to temporarily postpone the Golden Basin Washing Hands ceremony. Therefore, I request that Brother Liu postpone today's Golden Basin Washing Hands assembly."

  "The Left Alliance Master is right, Liu Shidi is the pillar of our Five Mountains Sword Sect, free and easy to be, why bother to go and do that small official in the imperial court, subject to people's constraints." Ding Yitai saw Zuo Lengchan send someone to stop Liu Zhengfeng from leaving Jianghu, overjoyed, hastily stood out to express his stance.

  Liu Zhengfeng, as a heavyweight figure of the Wuyue Sword Sect, if he were to retire from Jianghu and no longer ask about Jianghu affairs, would also be a significant loss for the Wuyue Sword Sect. Therefore, Ding Yitai was not in favor of Liu Zhengfeng's retirement, but due to her identity, she couldn't speak out directly. Now that the leader of the Five Peaks Alliance has personally issued an order, she naturally supports it with both hands.

  Liu Zhengfeng fell silent for a moment, then resolutely and firmly said: "Liu Mou has washed his hands in the golden basin, his determination is set, and the matter of quitting the Jianghu has been settled. From now on, he will no longer ask about Jianghu affairs. Please forgive me, Master Fei, but Liu cannot follow the orders of the Left Alliance Lord."

  "Liu Shixiong, this command flag was originally forged by the five masters of the Wudang Sword Sect together, representing the personal presence of the alliance master. How dare you disobey orders?" Fei Bin said in great anger.

  Oh no, Liu Zhengfeng is going to be in trouble. The two Taibao from the Songshan Sect have come to crash the scene. Fortunately, I, Linghu Chong, am here; otherwise, the Liu family would be completely finished.
