The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun

Page 296

The entire audience was shocked by Yue Buqun's words.

what?

Zuo Lengchan froze on the spot, his mind blank, as if struck by lightning.

Fang Zheng also slightly widened his eyes.

Even though it had been expected, Yue Buqun was still taken aback when he said it himself.

The Five Mountains Sword Sect, a powerful force that had been allied for a century and had caused headaches for successive abbots of Shaolin Temple, has finally come to an end under his leadership.

Fang Zheng felt that his heart, which had been as calm as still water for many years, was beginning to stir again.

If even he is like this, then others are even more so.

"Yue Buqun, what do you mean? Do you know what you're saying?"

Lu Bai pointed at Yue Buqun in disbelief, his hand trembling.

However, Yue Buqun ignored him.

"What did Sect Leader Yue just say?"

"Leave the Five Mountains Sword Sect?"

The martial arts figures who came to attend the Five Mountains Alliance Leaders Conference began to discuss it.

Just as everyone was still discussing, Mr. Mo delivered another heavy blow.

"My Hengshan School also withdraws from the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance."

Mr. Mo rarely expressed his opinions, but every time he spoke, he surprised everyone.

Upon hearing that the Hengshan Sect was also withdrawing from the Five Mountains Sword Sects, the exclamations of surprise from the crowd rose even higher.

Does this mean the Five Mountains Sword Sect is going to disband starting today?

"The Hengshan Sect has also withdrawn from the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance."

After Mr. Mo finished expressing his opinion, Abbess Dingxian sighed and followed closely behind.

As soon as she finished speaking, three sects were already withdrawing from the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

The onlookers, mostly martial arts practitioners, were so shocked they were speechless.

From this day forward, the Five Mountains Sword Sect, renowned throughout the martial arts world for a century, ceases to exist.

The Five Mountains Sword Sect consists of five sects in total. Three of them have already withdrawn from the alliance, leaving only the Mount Tai Sect, which has not yet expressed its stance.

But everyone shook their heads when they saw the expression on Tianmen Daoist's face, as if he wanted to devour Zuo Lengchan.

Forget it, if we can keep the Taishan Sect and Songshan Sect in the same alliance, then let's just disband the Five Mountains Sword Sects.

Chapter 395: Inform them to go up Mount Song at night.

"you!"

Ding Mian, Lu Bai, Fei Bin, and the others were both shocked and furious.

They were truly shocked that the four sects of Huashan and Hengshan would openly withdraw from the Five Mountains Sword Sects. Originally, they were furious because Zuo Lengchan was forced to abandon his martial arts, but now they were too shocked to calm down.

After regaining their senses, they were all furious.

Do you know what you're saying?

"Withdraw from the Five Mountains Alliance? You just withdraw from something this big like that?"

Lu Bai and Fei Bin questioned him repeatedly.

Mr. Mo raised his eyelids and glanced at them.

"What? Do I need your permission to withdraw from the Five Mountains Sword Sects?"

Lu Bai and the others started arguing, their faces turning red, showing how angry they were.

Their anger stemmed not from the fact that these factions wanted to withdraw from the Five Mountains Sword Sect, but from another reason.

Even if we were to withdraw, it was our Songshan Sect that proposed it first. Why should you withdraw first?

If it weren't for my Songshan Sect upholding the reputation of the Five Mountains Sword Sects in the martial arts world, do you think your four sects could have such a great reputation?

At this moment, Ding Mian and the others were furious.

Fang Zheng, Chong Xu, and the other outsiders remained silent, and no one offered any advice.

The disintegration of the Five Mountains Sword Sects may have some impact on the Huashan and Songshan sects, but it will have no impact on them or on the righteous path. In fact, it could be said that the disintegration of the Five Mountains Sword Sects will be of great benefit to them.

The Five Mountains Sword Sects finally disintegrated under my leadership, and no force can threaten Shaolin's position anymore.

Fang Zheng appeared calm, but his heart was pounding.

He doesn't dare to offer any advice now, for fear that if he does, Yue Buqun and the others will regret it and not disband the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

We can now arrange for someone to win over the Hengshan and Hengshan sects.

Fang Zheng thought to himself silently.

At this moment, everyone in the Songshan Sect had different emotions, some surprised, some delighted, and some overjoyed.

Only Zuo Lengchan, after a moment of surprise, reacted and his expression became even calmer.

"Since everyone has already made their decisions, it's no use for my Songshan Sect to try and persuade them to stay."

Zuo Lengchan said softly, "In that case, let the Five Mountains Sword Sect disband."

"From this day forward, the name of the Five Mountains Sword Sect will no longer exist in the martial arts world."

Zuo Lengchan's statement definitively declared that the Five Mountains Sword Sect had become history.

Fang Zheng, Chong Xu, Zhen Shanzi, Jie Feng, and the others remained silent, suppressing their joy.

Hearing Zuo Lengchan speak, Lu Bai and the others were still angry, but they didn't say anything more.

"You'll regret this."

Fei Bin glared hatefully at Yue Buqun and the others.

Yue Buqun didn't even bother to respond to his words.

"Ugh."

Fang Zheng sighed.

"This old monk originally came today to witness the Five Mountains Sword Sects congratulate their new leader, but I never expected things to turn out this way. Amitabha."

Fang Zheng then looked at Zuo Lengchan.

"Sect Leader Zuo, many things have happened today. I suppose you still have things to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer."

Zuo Lengchan nodded to him.

"Thank you, Abbot, for accepting my invitation to visit today. I am deeply grateful."

Fang Zheng nodded, and then extended an invitation to Chongxu Zhenshanzi Jiefeng and the leader of the Diancang Sect to visit Shaolin Temple.

These sects had close ties with Shaolin, and none of them refused to join them.

Fang Zheng originally wanted to invite Abbess Dingxian and Mr. Mo Da to visit his Shaolin Temple, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything.

Now that the Five Mountains Sword Sects have just disbanded, his eagerness to contact the Hengshan and Hengshan sects inevitably arouses suspicion.

There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Fang Zheng smiled.

After the Shaolin, Wudang, and Kunlun sects left, those martial arts figures also departed from Fengchantai.

These people left with expressions of surprise, and it wasn't long before the news of the Five Mountains Sword Sect's disintegration spread throughout the martial arts world from their mouths.

"Let's go too."

Yue Buqun addressed Jiang Ning, Ning Zhongze, and the others.

He didn't announce the alliance between the four factions and the Emei faction right now. There was no rush. He wanted to talk to Abbess Dingxian first. Although he had mentioned it in his previous letters, they still needed to communicate face-to-face.

Moreover, the current occasion is not suitable for announcing this news.

Master Mo and Abbess Dingxian and the others were also preparing to leave.

"Everyone, please stay."

Zuo Lengchan then called out to them.

"What? Is there something else, Sect Leader Zuo?"

Mr. Mo said.

Zuo Lengchan calmly said, "Although the Five Mountains Sword Sect has disbanded, the five sects have been allied for a hundred years. Let's part amicably. It's getting late, and it would be troublesome for you to go down the mountain for accommodation. Why don't you stay at my Songshan for the night? Let me do my duty as a host. Tomorrow, I will arrange a farewell banquet for you all. Let's put a period to the Five Mountains Sword Sect and wish each other well from now on."

The weasel paid New Year greetings to the rooster, which was not a good intention.

The same thought echoed in everyone's mind.

Just as Master Mo was about to refuse, Daoist Tianmen spoke first.

"it is good."

Everyone looked at the Taoist of the Heavenly Gate in astonishment.

Logically speaking, you should be the least likely to agree, so why did you agree so quickly?

Tianmen Daoist's expression calmed down, making it impossible to discern his inner thoughts.

"In that case, let's stay another night."

Yue Buqun hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

When Master Mo and Abbess Dingxian saw that both the Huashan and Taishan sects had agreed, they exchanged a glance, said nothing, but did not refuse either.

When Master Qingzhu saw this, she frowned slightly and wanted to persuade them, but seeing that all four sects planned to rest for the night on Mount Song, she said to Zuo Lengchan.

"Sect Leader Zuo, it's getting late, and it's getting late for our Emei Sect to find a place to stay. Surely Zuo Lengchan won't refuse us our hospitality?"

Lu Bai immediately replied, "You can go to Shaolin Temple."

Zuo Lengchan stopped him from continuing, looked at Abbess Qingzhu, and said.

"Please make yourself at home, nun."

"Thank you very much."

Master Qingzhu smiled slightly.

Despite having decided to stay, the people from the Huashan sects did not give the Songshan sect a friendly look, and all went down from the Fengchan Terrace to their rooms where they had rested the night before.

"Senior brother, why are you letting them stay another night?"

After the Huashan sects left, Fei Bin couldn't help but say to Zuo Lengchan.

"Yes, they embarrassed our Songshan Sect in public today and even forced you to cripple your martial arts. Why should you still be so nice to them?"

Another bodyguard spoke up.

“Without my Songshan Sect, what would they think they are? Without my Songshan Sect bearing the name of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sect, their Huashan Sect would have been swallowed up by other sects long ago.”

Ding Mian was even more furious.

Lu Bai said to Zuo Lengchan, "Senior brother, since they want to withdraw from the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Five Mountains Sword Sect has now been disbanded, in our opinion, you don't need to step down as the head of the Songshan Sect. We, your fellow disciples, all respect you and will obey your orders."

Faced with his fellow disciples' resentment, Zuo Lengchan remained calm and did not respond to them. Instead, he turned to look at Tang Ying'e.

"How are those people I asked you to arrange doing?"

Tang Ying'e nodded.

"Senior brother, they are all hiding in the mountains not far from Shengguan Peak, waiting for your orders at any time."

Zuo Lengchan nodded, took a deep breath, and remained calm.

"Inform them that they should all go up Mount Song tonight."
