Chapter 172. Sightseeing and Enjoying the Scenery.
Yang Ke told Yue Lingshan to pack her things, while he went to find Yu Canghai.
Well, after using someone, you can't really give them nothing in return.
Anyway, the upper limit of the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual is what it is. If Yang Ke gives Yu Canghai something else, he probably won't say anything more.
"Sect Leader Yu, I've kept you waiting."
Yang Ke spoke to Yu Canghai in a deep voice.
He's pretending to be an expert, mainly because it's not the right time for people to know about his plans here.
"It's alright, but this time our entire Qingcheng Sect is going to cooperate with you regarding the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual..."
Yu Canghai knew he was no match for the man in black before him, so he spoke in a conciliatory tone.
"The Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, hehe, I reckon Sect Leader Yu doesn't like it much."
"This is the sword technique of the Songshan School. Although it is not as good as the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, it is still good for enhancing the foundation of the Qingcheng School's sword technique."
"As for why Sect Leader Yu dislikes the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, it's because it's a sword technique developed by a eunuch. To master it, one must castrate oneself. Otherwise, how could the Qingcheng Sect have destroyed the Fuwei Escort Agency?"
Yang Ke took the Songshan School sword technique given to him by Cheng Mo Da, and then pointed out the flaws in the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, which immediately made Yu Canghai's pupils shrink.
Good heavens, no wonder this Evil-Repelling Sword Technique has such a great reputation and is so powerful.
Considering the legend that the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique is a martial art derived from the Sunflower Manual, the need for self-castration certainly makes sense.
"Thank you, sir. May I ask who you are...?"
Although Yu Canghai did not acquire the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, the sword techniques of the Songshan Sect were not weak, so he did not mention it again, but wanted to know who Yang Ke really was.
"Look at the palm!"
Yang Ke didn't answer. Instead, he gathered his inner strength in his palm and struck Yu Canghai with it.
Upon hearing this, Yu Canghai immediately used his Heart-Shattering Palm technique to counter, but Yang Ke's internal strength was far superior to his, and with one palm strike, Yu Canghai was sent staggering back several meters.
This was only because Yang Ke showed mercy; otherwise, with his late-stage Grandmaster cultivation, he could have easily killed Yu Canghai, a first-rate fighter, with a single palm strike.
"Sect Leader Yu, sometimes knowing too much isn't a good thing. This is just to give you a warning."
"If you cooperate with me, I might be able to lead the Qingcheng Sect to become a top sect in the martial arts world."
After issuing his warning, Yang Ke left behind a marker for future communication between the two of them.
With the Songshan School swordsmanship and his earlier threats and inducements, as long as Yu Canghai still harbors ambition, he will cooperate with Yang Ke's actions.
"Master, Yang Wu has already taken Lin Pingzhi to create an opportunity for them to bump into Linghu Chong."
An ordinary-looking young man in his early twenties appeared behind Yang Ke and reported the situation.
"Yes, go down and practice. Choose the sword technique that suits you best. You don't need to be an expert in the others, but at least you should know the opponent's sword moves."
Yang Ke waved his hand, signaling his men to leave.
After he transmigrated to the world of Swordsman, he took on five subordinates and used a large amount of money to acquire a lot of medicinal herbs to unlock their physical shackles.
They could no longer use the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, but they still possessed the internal energy cultivation methods of the Hengshan School.
Recently, after Mo Da handed over the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Techniques from the back mountain of the Huashan Sect to Yang Ke, he naturally had his five subordinates also practice it.
It’s also interesting to say.
Feng Qingyang didn't actually have a good impression of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, and he didn't want anyone to disturb him in the back mountain.
Mo Da's arrival solved one of his inner troubles, so he readily let Mo Da take all the sword techniques with him.
After Mo Da handed over all these sword techniques to Yang Ke, he didn't interfere much anymore; Yang Ke could give them away as he pleased.
Just kidding, which of the Five Mountains Sword Sects doesn't want to be the leader?
Even if Mo Da used his sword techniques to do favors for the other Five Mountains Sword Sects in order to ensure Yang Ke's smooth succession as the next leader of the Hengshan Sect, he could still learn them himself.
In this way, Yang Ke's five subordinates naturally became familiar with all the sword techniques of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, including the sword moves that countered them.
However, the five of them are only barely at the second-rate level right now, so it will be too difficult for them to advance to the first-rate level.
They're good at running errands, but for real help, Yang Ke only has Lin Pingzhi, and the Qingcheng Sect can also secretly call them in to help out.
After settling these trivial matters, Yang Ke returned to the inn, greeted Yue Lingshan, and then went to rest.
The two returned to the inn in the evening, so their departure would naturally have to wait until the next day.
Early the next morning.
"Lingshan, shall we go?"
Yang Ke knocked on Yue Lingshan's door at around 8 a.m.
For those who practice martial arts every morning, once it becomes a habit, their daily routine naturally involves an earlier start to the day.
"Senior Brother Yang, I'll be right out."
Yue Lingshan also responded from inside the room.
The two had a pleasant time yesterday, and Yue Lingshan is quite easygoing.
Since her parents both felt that Yang Ke was a good match for her, she naturally had no objections.
Yue Lingshan quickly changed her clothes and came out with a bag.
The Golden Basin Washing Hands Ceremony was still some time away, so the two naturally planned to travel there by sightseeing, and thus traveled by horse-drawn carriage.
However, Yang Ke also arranged for two of his men to provide cover, ensuring that he wouldn't miss the opportunity to play the hero and save the damsel in distress, while his men would deal with anyone who wasted his time. This made a big difference.
Previously, it took Yang Ke two days to travel from Hengyang to southern Fujian, but now it has taken him almost a month to get back.
Since Yue Lingshan is also quite young and hasn't been to many places, she accompanied Yang Ke to Hengyang City, and the two naturally enjoyed sightseeing along the way.
Yang Ke was also skilled in light-footed martial arts, so he took her to several deep mountains and dense forests to see the beautiful scenery.
It's just that Yue Lingshan is a rather young girl; otherwise, Yang Ke would probably have received the award long ago.
After the two arrived in Hengyang City, Yang Ke naturally took her to see Liu Zhengfeng.
Having already been informed by Mo Da, Liu Zhengfeng was naturally delighted to see his godson's future wife.
With Yang Kejia and Mo Da present, Liu Zhengfeng wasn't too worried even though he knew the Songshan Sect would come.
As for Qu Feiyan, Qu Yang was secretly rescued by Yang Ke in southern Fujian. Without Ren Yingying's pursuit, he could naturally find a place to hide for the rest of his life.
Liu Zhengfeng had already made up his mind. After retiring from the martial arts world, he would take Qu Yang and a few servants and hide in the mountains. He would spend his days playing the zither and flute, and leave the affairs of the martial arts world to Yang Ke.
Yang Ke didn't take Yue Lingshan to see Qu Feiyan. After taking her to see Liu Zhengfeng, he sent Yue Lingshan to the Huashan Sect's residence.
This time, there will be a lot of people from the five major factions, so Liu Zhengfeng naturally can't arrange for them all to stay at his home. They can only be accommodated in inns outside.
"Sect Leader Yue, Madam Yue."
After Yang Ke brought Yue Lingshan back, he also greeted Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze.
Ning Zhongze could tell from her daughter's expression that the two had been having a good time lately, so she pulled her aside to discuss the details so that she could agree to Liu Zhengfeng's marriage proposal.
Yes, Liu Zhengfeng has formally proposed marriage to the Huashan Sect on behalf of Yang Ke; Mo Da's proposal before was merely a discussion.
The two families will announce their marriage after the Golden Basin Gathering.
Of course, everyone understands.
The "Golden Basin Washing Hands" ceremony will not be able to proceed smoothly. Whether it can withstand the test is also a test that Yue Buqun is giving to Yang Ke.
