Chapter 181 The Number One Who Laughs at Others.
"He is your junior sister's brother-in-law, so he can be considered half a member of the Huashan Sect."
"With him around, we can just let him return the Dugu Nine Swords to the Huashan Sect when the sect finds someone suitable to inherit it."
"Do you understand, Linghu?"
Feng Qingyang spoke slowly to Linghu Chong.
"I understand, Senior Feng. Don't worry, I will go find Yang Ke as you said."
Linghu Chong greatly admired Feng Qingyang, even more than Yue Buqun, who had raised him for many years, so naturally he would not refuse his dying request.
"it is good."
Feng Qingyang breathed his last after he finished speaking.
"Senior Feng!"
Linghu Chong shouted in a loss of composure.
Linghu Chong, who had been grieving for a long time, buried Feng Qingyang's body and then prepared to return to the Huashan Sect.
He had heard about the Songshan Sect and wanted to return long ago, but was held back for two days by a few newly acquainted friends in the martial arts world. Fortunately, he witnessed Feng Qingyang's deathbed.
After regaining his composure, Linghu Chong did not go to see Yue Buqun first, but instead went to find Yang Ke.
"Brother Yang."
Although Linghu Chong had come to terms with Yue Lingshan's situation, he still felt a little awkward when he saw Yang Ke again.
Since he didn't know Ren Yingying and Yilin, he naturally placed most of his hopes on Yue Lingshan.
Fortunately, it was precisely because of this relationship that Linghu Chong felt relieved and was also willing to sincerely guide Yang Ke in mastering the Dugu Nine Swords.
"Yes, I talked to Sect Leader Mo about Senior Feng before. He is indeed a senior master worthy of respect, but unfortunately I have no chance to meet him."
When Linghu Chong said he would pass on the Dugu Nine Swords to him so that he could pass it on to the next generation of the Huashan Sect, Yang Ke naturally did not refuse and even sighed a few times.
Ahem, although he killed Feng Qingyang, it doesn't mean I don't respect him, right?
In reality, Yang Ke didn't really think Feng Qingyang was a very good person, and quite a few people in Xiao Ao had problems.
Feng Qingyang felt that it was better to cultivate together than to fight a sword-qi dispute with other sects. Moreover, he was able to overpower all the other sects but did not come out to resolve the issue. Instead, he was lured away from the mountain, and by the time he returned, the Huashan Sect had collapsed.
You might say he's going to collapse, but Yue Buqun worked so hard to rebuild the Huashan Sect, yet he wouldn't let Linghu Chong tell Yue Buqun about the situation at Siguo Cliff, and he also wouldn't teach Dugu Nine Swords.
Even when the Songshan Sect led traitors from the Huashan Sect to besiege the Huashan Sect, Feng Qingyang still hid there like a carefree hermit, which was quite comparable to Linghu Chong's situation.
Linghu Chong didn't think much of it. After learning that Yue Lingshan had returned to Hengyang City, he lost all interest in reminiscing and only wanted to teach Yang Ke the Dugu Nine Swords properly.
"No wonder Brother Yang was able to take over the Hengshan Sect at such a young age. You have basically mastered the essence of the Dugu Nine Swords. Then I will take my leave."
Linghu Chong originally thought he had made some progress after being taught by Feng Qingyang for a day, which was quite remarkable. However, Yang Ke's familiarity with the Dugu Nine Swords on the first day was a huge blow to him.
He couldn't compare to others in anything, and his junior sister was gone too. After saying these polite words, Linghu Chong asked Yang Ke to take good care of Yue Lingshan and the Huashan Sect before preparing to leave.
Well, in the original series, Linghu Chong might have thought about helping the Huashan Sect to save face, but now he is disheartened and just wants to have some peace and quiet, so naturally he won't care about the Huashan Sect's affairs.
However...
"you!"
"why?"
Linghu Chong's plan to deal with Yang Ke was still a bit troublesome, so it was best to resolve it.
Just as Linghu Chong turned to leave, Yang Ke killed him instantly with a single sword strike.
"It's nothing, it's just the Dugu Nine Swords, as long as only I know it."
"By the way, I also killed Feng Qingyang. Your master's wife is now in my hands, and even Feng Qingyang was someone I arranged to impersonate."
Yang Ke's words make him a complete villain. He takes benefits from others and then tries to take them back, ultimately criticizing their character.
"Congratulations, host, for successfully making Linghu Chong die with his eyes wide open. Reward: you have comprehended the essence of the Lonely Nine Swords technique."
Not bad. The Dugu Nine Swords has several stages. Even though Linghu Chong was only a grandmaster before the later stages of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, although what he taught Yang Ke was good, he himself was still far from mastering those stages.
The martial arts of Dugu Nine Swords can be divided into five realms: sharp sword, soft sword, heavy sword, wooden sword, and no sword.
Feng Qingyang had reached the wooden sword stage, while Linghu Chong had only reached the sharp sword stage. Later, when he fought Dongfang Bubai, he relied on exchanging injuries to catch Dongfang Bubai off guard and wound him, but he still lost.
Both sharp swords and soft swords are sword techniques, which is the understanding of the Dugu Nine Swords.
When you reach the heavy sword stage, it becomes sword momentum; and the final stage of no sword naturally becomes sword intent. However, this is a low-level martial arts world, so Yang Ke naturally cannot use sword intent.
With the system's reward, Yang Ke quickly understood the true meaning of this sword move, making him undoubtedly the number one in the world of swordplay.
"It seems my cheap father-in-law is no longer of any use. After he fights Zuo Lengchan at the Songshan Sect, I can send him down to sell duck eggs."
Yang Ke couldn't be without a sword in the world of Swordsman, but he still had various martial arts and attribute bonuses such as the Yi Jin Jing, making him a well-rounded warrior.
A week later, Yue Buqun finally recovered from his injuries and mastered the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique, so he emerged from seclusion.
The two were very in sync. Yue Buqun was worried that Yang Ke would ask about Ning Zhongze, while Yang Ke didn't want to go through so much trouble. He just wanted to resolve the Five Mountains Sword Sect issue as soon as possible and finally defeat Dongfang Bubai to settle things with The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. So neither of them said much.
"set off!"
Yue Buqun took Lao Denuo and other Huashan Sect disciples with him, leaving only Lu Dayou behind, and told him to wait for Linghu Chong to return so he could go to the Songshan Sect for the appointment.
Yue Buqun is now very arrogant. He sent Linghu Chong to Mount Song just to show him that he has the ability to lead Mount Hua to its peak without relying on his so-called Dugu Nine Swords.
Well, at this stage, Linghu Chong is really no match for Yue Buqun.
Yue Buqun had cultivated the Zixia Divine Skill, and his swordsmanship was the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique derived from the Sunflower Manual, both of which were top-tier among grandmasters.
Traveling in ancient times was a waste of time, but everyone knew what the Songshan Sect was thinking, so even though they were going to be late, Yang Ke and Yue Buqun weren't in a hurry.
"I wonder if Ren Woxing will come. If he does, that would be interesting. It would be best if my old husband could help me get on my horse and see me off."
Yang Ke looked at the nearby Songshan Mountain and wondered if Ren Woxing, whom he had sent to inform others, would still be coming.
He instructed Ren Yingying to persuade her father not to come to Mount Song, lest he be besieged by the righteous sects.
Goodness, with Ren Woxing's temper, it's one thing to be unable to beat his own son-in-law, but why would he worry about others?
Yang Ke's plan this time can be considered an open strategy, because the best way for Ren Woxing to defeat Dongfang Bubai is to subdue the Five Mountains Sword Sect, so he won't come.
"Hmph, the Huashan and Hengshan sects are making quite a show of force. They can be late even though the Five Mountains Sword Sect Alliance gave us three months' notice. Do you even respect me as the alliance leader?"
Yang Ke and Yue Buqun brought people from the Hengshan and Huashan sects to Mount Song. Upon hearing the news, Zuo Lengchan immediately came out and said a few words.
Even if the Five Mountains Sword Sect is far away, you shouldn't have to travel for 3 months. At a fast pace, it wouldn't take more than a few days. Now that you're late, aren't you trying to make trouble for me?
Fortunately, Zuo Lengchan's intention this time was to eliminate Yang Ke and Yue Buqun. After making his harsh remarks, he announced that the Five Mountains Conference would be held the next day.
