To be promoted from outer sect to inner sect, one must make meritorious contributions and undergo further trials.
Only inner disciples are allowed to enter the Hall of Righteousness.
"Mount Song, Mount Tai, Mount Heng, and Mount Hengshan, along with many martial arts figures, are heading up the mountain."
“From a distance, I can see that they are numerous and powerful, and their intentions are clearly not good.”
Lu Dayou calmed himself down and quickly reported the news.
"Oh? Is Zuo Lengchan tired of living?"
With the support of the Azure Dragon Society, Yue Buqun's strength had long surpassed that of Zuo Lengchan and others.
Not to mention that the Green Dragon Society stands behind Mount Hua.
Shaolin Temple angered Wudang and was massacred by the Green Dragon Society—the lesson of the past is still fresh, how dare these people act recklessly?
As an external force of the Azure Dragon Society, Yue Buqun was unaware that Ximen Yu had already left this realm.
"Yue Buqun, come out here!"
Zuo Lengchan's shout suddenly rang out.
"Fine, since they're courting death, I'll grant their wish."
Yue Buqun's face flushed with a purple aura, which vanished in an instant—the Purple Cloud Divine Skill had reached its peak with the help of the Azure Dragon Society.
“Dayou, come with me to teach these arrogant fools a lesson.”
When Mount Hua was in decline, Mount Song was repeatedly bullied.
After the restoration, Yue Buqun hesitated to take action against Songshan because he was speculating about the attitude of the Qinglong Society.
Today, Zuo Lengchan led his men up the mountain, which suited his wishes perfectly.
Yue Buqun activated the Purple Cloud Divine Skill, and the wind from his sleeves shook open the gate of the Righteous Qi Hall.
With his hands behind his back, he lightly stepped into the air and floated out.
"What?! Yue Buqun can actually fly through the air... He has reached the pinnacle of immortality?!"
The crowd, which had been initially aggressive, suddenly erupted in gasps of surprise.
Previously, Yue Buqun was at most at the Grandmaster level, but now he has broken through several levels and reached the unparalleled peak.
He's just one step away from becoming a legendary terrestrial immortal!
Such a change could hardly fail to shock everyone!
"Gentlemen, am I still the leader of the Five Mountains Sect?"
"Your manner of brandishing knives and swords, as if you're here to interrogate me, is probably inappropriate."
Yue Buqun, known as the "Gentleman's Sword," naturally believed in the principle of using courtesy before resorting to force.
"Yue Buqun! What leader of the Five Mountains Sect? We were merely forced into this situation before."
Zuo Lengchan was the first to jump out and refute.
"You've allied yourself with the Azure Dragon Society, using their power to oppress us."
"We only obey you out of respect for the Azure Dragon Society."
"But after you seized power, you acted perversely and became tyrannical and domineering."
"Not only did they forcibly demand the sword manuals and secret techniques of the four sects, but they also transferred the elite disciples of each sect to the outer sect of Mount Hua."
"Such actions are tantamount to severing the lineage of our four schools."
"How can we tolerate this any longer?"
272 - Exterminate them all!
"Oh? Zuo Lengchan, have you forgotten?"
Yue Buqun spoke calmly and deliberately.
"We are now the Five Mountains Sect, not the Five Mountains Alliance."
"Since I am the leader of the Five Mountains Sect, what's wrong with mobilizing the sect's resources and integrating martial arts classics?"
"Shut up! That was all because you coerced me."
The Taoist priest from the Taishan Sect spat and drew his sword.
"Our Taishan School was founded by the Eastern Spirit Ancestor and has been passed down for a thousand years."
"The lineage of Mount Tai must not be ruined in my hands."
"Yue Buqun, as long as you return the Taishan disciples and the sword manual, I will leave with my men immediately."
"Otherwise, I will certainly settle things with you today."
"Master Dingxian, Master Mo, is this what you mean too?"
With a smile on his face, Yue Buqun turned to the leaders of the Hengshan and Hengshan factions.
"Sect Leader Yue, each sect has its own traditions; why force a merger?"
Chapter 142 Purple Cloud Divine Skill
"Master Dingxian said in a deep voice."
"I apologize, but I had no choice but to do this today."
Mr. Mo sighed and took out his erhu.
"Alright! Let's all attack together then!"
With his Zixia Divine Skill already at its pinnacle, Yue Buqun would never take these people seriously.
Since they're determined to die, let's grant their wish.
"Wanyue Chaozong!"
"Seven stars fall from the sky!"
"Phantom Sword Style!"
"A needle hidden in cotton!"
Zuo Lengchan and the others immediately unleashed their respective sects' exquisite sword techniques.
Among the four, Zuo Lengchan, who had the highest cultivation level, was only at the Grandmaster level.
Yue Buqun has reached the pinnacle of his abilities, and only his ultimate techniques can defeat him.
"Fancy and flashy! Take this!"
Yue Buqun casually drew Lu Dayou's sword and effortlessly executed a basic Huashan sword move.
This move was originally a polite opening move used when sparring with fellow disciples, and its power was mediocre.
But at this moment, Yue Buqun had already mastered the Zixia Divine Skill to a high level.
Where the sword's edge passed, purple mist swirled and condensed into the shape of a phoenix!
Before the four men could even touch Zi Feng, their swords broke and their moves were thwarted.
The four men coughed up blood and flew backward, knocking down many disciples behind them.
Yue Buqun used this popular phrase from the Green Dragon Society with ease.
Seeing the power of such a single move, he couldn't help but feel smug and self-satisfied.
"You think you can just come here to die with such meager skills?"
"Since you're here, don't even think about leaving this mountain alive."
He was not a soft-hearted person, so how could he let such a good opportunity pass by?
"Triple-layered peaks!"
This is a unique skill created by Yue Buqun, consisting of three sword strikes executed in a continuous sequence.
The second sword strike is twice as powerful as the first, and the final move combines the power of the first two strikes.
With the enhancement of the Purple Cloud True Qi, the sword aura enveloped hundreds of people.
Those who disobey will die!
"Yue Buqun, cease your arrogance!"
At the critical moment, a figure stepped forward with a sword.
Its sword path faintly shows traces of Mount Hua, yet it is also mixed with a fierce wind.
In the blink of an eye, he unleashed one hundred and eight sword strikes, each one swift and powerful.
In the end, all the swords merged into one, transforming into a hurricane that swept in.
Although Yue Buqun sensed something was wrong, the sword strike was as swift as lightning.
Where the hurricane passed, the Three-Layered Mountain range crumbled instantly.
The sword flashed like the wind, and Yue Buqun was instantly torn to pieces.
"You're actually a terrestrial immortal..."
On his deathbed, Yue Buqun finally saw through his opponent's cultivation level, but it was too late.
Feng Buping sheathed his sword and arrogantly surveyed his surroundings.
"Senior Brother Feng's martial arts are divine; he killed Junior Brother Yue with a single sword strike. Truly a cause for celebration!"
Zuo Lengchan, still shaken, hurriedly stepped forward to flatter him.
"Feng Buping of the Huashan Sword Sect is here! Today, I will cleanse our ranks and slay the traitor of the Qi Sect."
"Anyone who disagrees may step forward and face death."
No one expected that the once mediocre Sword Sect disciple would now have reached the realm of a terrestrial immortal. Yue Buqun's body was nowhere to be found, and Mount Hua fell into complete silence.
"Since there are no objections, why don't you come and pay your respects to the new sect leader?"
Upon seeing this, Zuo Lengchan sternly rebuked his disciples.
The people of Mount Hua, trembling with fear, were about to kneel and pay their respects—
"You're courting death!" Feng Buping's expression suddenly changed. "Since they refuse to submit, they're all traitors! Sect Leader Zuo, kill them all!"
"Yes, sir! Uh... what?"
Zuo Lengchan was stunned and paled. This was clearly an attempt to exterminate the Huashan lineage!
"Kill!" Tianmen Daoist had already led the Taishan Sect into the crowd.
Amidst the flashing swords and blood-soaked shadows, the disciples of Mount Hua suffered a crushing defeat.
"Does the Left Alliance Leader intend to defy me?"
When Feng Buping's icy gaze swept over, Zuo Lengchan felt a chill run down his spine.
"So be it! It's a matter for the Huashan family anyway..."
He gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Disciples of Songshan, heed my command! Wash away Mount Hua in blood!"
Shouts of battle echoed across the mountain peak. Under the combined attack of the five major sects, the once sacred martial arts land was transformed into a battlefield of carnage in the blink of an eye.
273 - Wudang Robbery!
Undercurrents surged across the Ming Dynasty's territory, and the shadow of the Azure Dragon Society quietly loomed over the imperial court.
The person sitting on the dragon throne was not the real emperor, but the heir of the Prince of the South who looked exactly like Zhu Houzhao. Apart from that, everything inside and outside the court was as usual.
However, today, the situation within the territory of the Ming Dynasty has changed dramatically.
"Your Majesty! Urgent report from the Embroidered Uniform Guard: The entire Huashan Sect has been wiped out, and Yue Buqun is dead."
Inside the imperial study, the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom listened to the reports from his ministers with his eyes lowered, his expression unreadable.
"According to reports from spies, more than 5,000 people from both the legitimate and criminal factions have gathered around Wudang Mountain."
"Based on our deductions, they will surely take action in the coming days."
"Have these people gone mad?"
