While on Mount Hua, my mind is at peace!

Chapter 31 Thus he earned the reputation of a scoundrel.

Everyone agreed it was fair. Yi Lin couldn't help but chuckle when she found Yue Feng's words amusing. Everyone turned to look at her; Yi Lin's face was flushed, she lowered her head, clasped her hands together, and began chanting Buddhist scriptures.

Feifei had a good impression of Yilin, so she went up to her, helped her up, and brushed the dust off her clothes. Yilin thanked Feifei, and the two beauties stood together, looking into the cave. Their radiant beauty made the dilapidated cave seem extraordinary.

Enraged, Tian Boguang drew his sword and charged at Linghu Chong, shouting, "Fine, then I'll make you my first target!" In his fury, he held back, and Linghu Chong barely managed to take the blow, only to feel his arm go numb and involuntarily take a half-step back.

Deng Jun said, "It's my turn for the second move!" He strode forward and used the Demon-Subduing Palm technique that he and Yue Feng had painstakingly adapted on the road. A powerful and fierce palm strike hit Tian Boguang's knife from a distance.

Tian Boguang was shocked: "Where did this master of the Splitting Palm come from?!" His tiger's mouth split open, but luckily his skill was profound, so he was not immediately disarmed.

Linghu Chong was secretly alarmed, realizing that Deng Jun's palm strike was intended to prevent Tian Boguang from pursuing him. He quickly thanked Deng Jun. Deng Jun smiled slightly and returned to Yue Feng's side. Tian Boguang dared not pursue and took the opportunity to recover his strength.

Chen Ji stepped forward leisurely, looked Tian Boguang up and down, and his eyes lit up when his gaze fell on Tian Boguang's knife.

"A fine knife!"

"It's a fine knife, of course." Tian Boguang was extremely pleased with himself. Tonight was an unlucky night; he had run into these strange people, but at least one of them knew his stuff.

Chen Ji clicked his tongue twice, then said, "It's a pity that he didn't meet a wise ruler."

Tian Boguang flew into a rage, when suddenly something flashed between his legs. Tian Boguang was stunned for a moment, then looked down and saw that his crotch was stained red with blood. Several breaths later, a piercing pain struck him like a heavy hammer.

"ah--"

Tian Boguang screamed in agony and collapsed to the ground. Yilin felt a little scared and hid behind Feifei. Feifei and the old man shared a sense of pleasure. However, when they looked at Yue Feng and the others, their expressions remained unchanged, as if they had only done something insignificant.

Chen Ji planted Kato Ichi's Japanese sword in the ground, picked up Tian Boguang's single-edged sword, wiped it on his clothes, and tucked it into his belt before returning to Yue Feng's side.

Linghu Chong was stunned. Where did his junior brother find so many experts? How come each one of them was more powerful than the last? And these people even seemed to regard his junior brother as their leader? He couldn't help but cast an expectant gaze at Lin Pingzhi, thinking that according to the pattern just now, Lin Pingzhi should be the one with the highest martial arts skills.

Lin Pingzhi looked around blankly, then stepped forward and plunged his longsword into Tian Boguang's heart. Linghu Chong was disappointed for a moment, but then thought that Tian Boguang was indeed powerless to fight back, and there was no need for Lin Pingzhi to use any miraculous swordsmanship, so he was relieved.

Chen Ji chuckled sarcastically, "Congratulations, Young Master Lin, for ridding the martial arts world of a great scourge!"

Lin Pingzhi looked dejected and remained silent. Yue Feng said to him, "The fact that Chen Ji was crippled but not killed is a fitting punishment for Tian Boguang, that lecherous scoundrel. And his death by your sword is for the same reason." Lin Pingzhi suddenly understood and nodded.

Yilin came over and bowed to Yue Feng and the others to express her gratitude. The group exchanged a few words of humility. Yilin raised her head, and her eyes met Yue Feng's by chance. She froze, completely stunned.

Deng Jun and the others, all experienced in such matters, smiled. Yue Feng, however, wore a wry smile, thinking to himself, "This little nun was supposed to fall for Linghu Chong, what's going on now?"

"Junior Sister Yilin, your senior sisters are searching for you all over the world. Why don't you come back to town with us and reunite with them?"

Now that things have come to this, Yue Feng thought to himself, "We can only take it one step at a time."

Yilin's eyes widened: "Young hero, are you also from our Five Mountains Sword Sect? How come I've never seen you before?"

Linghu Chong chuckled from the side, "Junior Sister Yilin, this is our Huashan Sect's young leader, Yue Feng. He usually only stirs up trouble in Huayin County; this is his first time venturing far from home, so he's not yet well-known in the martial arts world."

Upon hearing this, Deng Jun, Chen Ji, and Lin Pingzhi exchanged glances and smiled without saying a word. Linghu Chong did not notice. When Yi Lin learned that Yue Feng was actually the son of the famous "Gentleman Sword," she felt extremely flustered and couldn't even utter a polite word.

Yue Feng glared at Linghu Chong: "What do you mean by stirring up trouble? Do you have a single word of truth in your mouth?"

Linghu Chong chuckled: "I'm just telling the truth. Junior brother, when it comes to being mischievous, even I, Linghu Chong, have to admit defeat. Don't be modest."

Yue Feng ignored him, greeted Yi Lin, and led her out of the cave. Fei Fei and the old man had already left sometime earlier, but Yue Feng didn't care and returned to the town.

Having not encountered any members of the Hengshan Sect along the way, Yue Feng had no choice but to take Yi Lin back to the restaurant first, ordering her some vegetarian dishes so that she could fill her stomach first.

Yilin was very embarrassed and wanted to pay, but she had no money. Yue Feng invoked the righteous cause of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, which finally persuaded her. Yue Feng and the others set up another table and played drinking games. To avoid disturbing Yilin, Yue Feng deliberately chose a seat far away from her.

Yilin took a few bites of her food and glanced at Yue Feng. Yue Feng pretended not to notice. Linghu Chong nudged Yue Feng with his elbow: "You're doomed. That little nun has probably taken a liking to you. Sigh, youthful infatuation is always a sin!"

Yue Feng angrily retorted, "Stop talking nonsense! Junior Sister Yilin has just escaped from the jaws of death and is still in shock, so she wants to check if we're still around. If Master hears this, see if he'll give you a good beating."

Linghu Chong chuckled twice, then suddenly remembered something and frowned, asking, "Huh? Where's Second Junior Brother? Didn't he go to Fujian with you? Why haven't I seen him?"

For the past few days, Yue Feng had been pondering how to explain the killing of Lao Denuo. The key issue was that even if he told the truth, not everyone would believe him. Yue Buqun, being shrewd and well aware of the Songshan Sect's schemes, would most likely believe him; but for someone like Linghu Chong, it would be much more difficult.

"Second Senior Brother... was killed by Yu Canghai with a single sword while trying to stop the villains of the Qingcheng Sect." Yue Feng said, wiping the corner of his eye.

"What!" Linghu Chong stood up angrily, but Yue Feng pulled him down.

"Senior Brother, don't make a fuss. Very few people know about this. Let's consult with Master before making a decision."

Linghu Chong reluctantly sat down, took a swig of wine in silence, and was about to say something more when he suddenly heard several martial arts figures beside him say:

"Hey, have you heard? Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sect led all his disciples out to Fujian to cause trouble for the Fuwei Escort Agency. Guess what?"

"What? Could it be that the Lin family of the Fuwei Escort Agency can actually touch the Qingcheng Sect?"

"That's right! I just got the news, they're dead! Yu Canghai and his disciples all died in a small fishing village near Fuzhou, it's awful!"

With a loud crash, the wine cup in Linghu Chong's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
