Chapter 191 Listen Quietly
"My dear friend Buqun, my dear friend Buping, long time no see!"
Just as Feng Buping glanced behind Cui Shuyun, a familiar voice rang out, which made Feng Buping's heart tremble and a bitter look flashed in his eyes.
Then a familiar yet unfamiliar figure of Feng Buping appeared.
Even though they hadn't seen each other for 28 years, the moment Feng Buping saw Zhu Chengwu, he still felt as if the last time he met Zhu Chengwu was just yesterday.
Zhu Chengwu left a very deep impression on Feng Buping!
Or perhaps it was Zhu Chengwu's strength after his reappearance that forced Feng Buping to recall the past, and he remembered clearly the scenes of his previous meetings with Zhu Chengwu, as if it were yesterday.
Now that he really saw Zhu Chengwu appear, a look of bitterness flashed across Feng Buping's eyes, but Yue Buqun's expression was clearly filled with joy.
As the true successor designated by Feng Qingyang, Yue Buqun, who was familiar with the friendship between Feng Qingyang and Zhu Chengwu and knew how much Feng Qingyang had done for the Fu'an Marquis Mansion, understood that since Zhu Chengwu appeared today, Huashan would be stable.
Now let’s not talk about Zuo Lengchan’s plan to push Feng Buping to be the leader of Huashan Sect in order to control the Huashan Sect.
Even Zuo Lengchan’s position as leader of the Five Mountains Alliance might have to be given up.
"Buping/Buqun has met the Marquis!"
Although they had different thoughts in their minds, the moment Zhu Chengwu appeared, Yue Buqun and Feng Buping both chose to bow to Zhu Chengwu as soon as possible.
"My friend Buqun, my friend Buping, it's been 28 years since I last saw you!"
Zhu Chengwu glanced at the entire room, and finally returned his gaze to Yue Buqun and Feng Buping.
With the appearance of Zhu Chengwu, everyone fell silent. Even Ding Mian, one of the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan who had just questioned Cui Shuyun, did not open his mouth to question or doubt again. Instead, he waited for Zhu Chengwu to communicate with Yue Buqun and Feng Buping.
This is the power of Zhu Chengwu after the aftermath of the formation of Yang Lei Zhenyan in the Elbru Mountains.
Anyone who meets Zhu Chengwu at any place and under any circumstances must respect Zhu Chengwu and first think about Zhu Chengwu's attitude and position.
Because Zhu Chengwu alone is enough to change the situation on the scene.
As long as Zhu Chengwu is present and speaking, everyone except Zhu Chengwu and the person Zhu Chengwu calls upon to respond must automatically keep silent, leaving space and time for Zhu Chengwu to communicate and converse.
“Thank you for your concern, Lord. I didn’t expect that I only met Uncle Feng a few times before the Jiuhua Mountain Martial Arts Test Conference, but you have troubled me to worry about you until now!
It’s just that Master Feng passed away early. Otherwise, if Master Feng saw your unrivaled strength in the world, he would definitely be very happy! "
As soon as Zhu Chengwu finished speaking, Feng Buping immediately answered before Yue Buqun could.
Just as Feng Buping said before, Zhu Chengwu now has such unrivaled military power that he can easily turn black into white.
Therefore, if Feng Buping wants to realize his previous plan, he must win the support of Zhu Chengwu who has now appeared.
Of course, what was more important was that Feng Buping himself knew that he was really involved in the action of snatching the high-level rare treasure of heaven and earth - the Earth Core Fire Lotus, which was presented to Zhu Chengwu by the Cui family. From what Cui Shujun said just now, it seemed that Cui Shujun already knew that he was involved, although he was masked at the time.
Now that Zhu Chengwu and Cui Shuyun appeared together, Feng Buping had to speak first and use Feng Qingyang as a banner in order to ask Zhu Chengwu to ignore his previous behavior.
otherwise…
"The passing of Senior Feng is indeed a tragedy for the Ming Dynasty martial arts world, but there is no need to be too sad. Those who caused Senior Feng's early death will pay a price corresponding to their evil deeds!"
Zhu Chengwu said this while looking at Feng Buping and Yue Buqun.
“Uncle Daifeng and the Huashan Sect would like to thank you for your generosity!
If the Marquis needs it, I am willing to be his vanguard and seek justice for Uncle Feng!"
This time, it was Feng Buping who rushed to bow and answer.
While Feng Buping was replying, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Wang Taoshan and Yang Yanwu who were standing behind Zhu Chengwu as he appeared.
As Grandmaster Yangshen-level masters, Wang Taoshan and Yang Yanwu were no strangers in the eyes of first-rate mid-to-late-stage warriors like Feng Buping.
Ordinary warriors may not be able to access information about Grandmaster Yang Shen, but Feng Buping, who is a first-rate mid-to-late-stage master, has access to relevant information!
He carried a master and a Yang God with him, and the two masters and Yang Gods were completely led by Zhu Chengwu, standing and speaking like a servant.
In the more than 300 years since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, perhaps only Zhu Chengwu had such power and pomp.
Even the former Taoist Sanfeng might not have the power and majesty that Zhu Chengwu has now!
However, although Feng Buping was extremely flattering to Zhu Chengwu, this time Zhu Chengwu did not continue with Feng Buping's words, but instead turned his gaze to Yue Buqun standing aside.
"Friend Buqun, did Senior Feng leave any instructions when he passed away?"
Zhu Chengwu looked at Yue Buqun and asked.
Although Feng Buping's words were flattering and his tone was fawning, how could Zhu Chengwu not sense the panic in Feng Buping's heart?
The true Qi has reached the pinnacle of the Grandmaster, and the strongest in martial arts have even truly stepped into the realm above the Grandmaster. Now Zhu Chengwu is in the middle position between the Grandmaster and above the Grandmaster, just like the middle position between the first-rate and the Grandmaster - the Junior Grandmaster.
Zhu Chengwu felt that this state, which was between the Grandmaster and above the Grandmaster, could be called the Supreme Grandmaster.
Zhu Chengwu, who has reached the realm of supreme grandmaster, has a spiritual perception that is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Although Feng Buping's facial expression and body movements were very well controlled and there was no visible flaw from the outside, Zhu Chengwu could still sense the guilt and panic deep in Feng Buping's heart through his keen spiritual perception.
On the contrary, Yue Buqun, who had been silent on the side, was filled with surprise when Zhu Chengwu suddenly appeared.
Therefore, to Zhu Chengwu, it is self-evident who is the true successor of the Huashan Sect recognized by Feng Qingyang.
"My Lord, Master Feng didn't give me any special instructions before he passed away. He just asked me to take good care of Huashan and preserve the inheritance of the Huashan Sect! If I have the chance to see you again, Master Feng asked me to say hello to you on his behalf!"
Hearing Zhu Chengwu's question, Yue Buqun stepped forward and answered.
Yue Buqun's words made Zhu Chengwu nod silently. This was indeed the impression Zhu Chengwu had of Feng Qingyang's character after coming into contact with him.
Feng Qingyang was very rational and smart even at the last moment of his death.
Since the choice had been made, no matter what the reason for Zhu Chengwu's disappearance, Feng Qingyang and the Huashan Sect would have to endure whatever difficulties and costs they had to pay because of their original choice and Zhu Chengwu's disappearance. Feng Qingyang did not make a single overt complaint until his death.
Because the choice was made by him voluntarily!
Moreover, Feng Qingyang was very smart. This intelligence was reflected in the fact that even though he had done a lot for the Fu'an Marquis Mansion, there was no trace of seeking credit or asking Zhu Chengwu to take care of the Huashan Sect in Feng Qingyang's last words.
If Zhu Chengwu disappears and never appears again, then everything will be over!
But even if Zhu Chengwu reappears, whether Zhu Chengwu admits what Feng Qingyang did depends entirely on Zhu Chengwu's thoughts.
Since the choice is in Zhu Chengwu's hands, what difference does it make whether Feng Qingyang mentions it or not?
And who knows, sometimes, mentioning it might even cause Zhu Chengwu to be disgusted.
"My Lord, Yue Buqun is lying! When Master Feng passed away, Yue Buqun was not by Master Feng's side at all. It was me who was by Master Feng's side at that time!
Uncle Feng's last words were that he hoped I would inherit the Huashan Sect and carry it forward. In his last words, he also said that he hoped the Marquis would take good care of me and the Huashan Sect and help the Huashan Sect get through this difficult period without a Grandmaster. "After Yue Buqun finished speaking, Zhu Chengwu was nodding silently when Feng Buping suddenly interrupted him in a fierce tone.
"Hmm~"
Feng Buping's interruption made Zhu Chengwu frown in displeasure, and then the energy in his body exploded.
Bang~~~
A stream of scorching true energy hit Feng Buping's body directly, causing him to spit blood and fly backwards, finally falling heavily to the ground.
"Buping, why are you so anxious? Your haste to interrupt me will only make me think you are guilty!
When I don't ask you to speak, just listen quietly! Don't interrupt me and interrupt my questions and thoughts! That will make me angry!
And didn’t you say that with my unrivaled force, I can turn black into white!
That is to say, the truth of the facts is not important, what I think is the truth is the final truth!
You see, you clearly understand this truth, why do you still want to interrupt?
Isn't this asking for trouble?"
Zhu Chengwu turned his head to look at Feng Buping, who had fallen to the ground and was seriously injured by his hot breath, and spoke calmly.
Seeing Zhu Chengwu's attitude, everyone present was suddenly silent.
"Just the burst of true qi, a stream of true qi leaving the body, has seriously injured Feng Buping, a first-class master who is famous and powerful, and whose combat power is almost as strong as mine. Marquis Fu'an really deserves the title of martial arts legend. This time, the master brother's plan may fail!"
Ding Mianyu, the tower-holder, sensed Zhu Chengwu's attitude and said in his heart.
Ding Mian, whose strength was only at the first-rate level and who had seen the strongest master burst out with his full strength, his head brother Zuo Lengchan, who was only at the minor grandmaster level, did not know that the current situation was the result of Zhu Chengwu showing mercy.
If Zhu Chengwu really burst out with all his strength, a stream of true qi leaving his body would be enough to defeat Feng Buping, who was only at the first-rate level.
Regarding this point, among all the people present, Wang Taoshan and Yang Yanwu, who had personally experienced the Battle of Elbrus Mountains, were the two people who had the most say.
"My Lord, what I said is true..."
Even at this time, Feng Buping was still stubbornly defending himself.
Perhaps Feng Buping has no other choice except to defend himself stubbornly!
By making a stubborn defense, Feng Buping might be able to make Zhu Chengwu change his mind and position.
If he changes his words now, Feng Buping will be dead.
But who is Zhu Chengwu?
He was a selfish and ruthless person with a will as hard as iron. In order to ensure that the breeding process of Yang Lei Zhen Yan would not go wrong, he disappeared for no reason and put Fu'an Marquis Mansion and many relatives and friends in danger.
Feng Buping thought that he could make Zhu Chengwu question his own speculation and overturn his own position by just talking tough. Feng Buping was really overthinking!
Even if what Feng Buping said was true and Zhu Chengwu's spiritual perception and speculation were wrong, it didn't matter!
As Zhu Chengwu himself said, what is important is what he thinks in his mind, and everything else is just details.
Zhu Chengwu's strength is enough to make Zhu Chengwu's inner thoughts become the final truth. Zhu Chengwu's purpose of coming to Huashan is just to resolve the guilt in his heart, not to find out the truth about Feng Qingyang's death.
It's all about the heart, not the facts!
"Hmm~~ Still want to quibble?"
Before Feng Buping's intermittent words had finished falling, another stream of Qi burst out from Zhu Chengwu's body and hit Feng Buping's throat, causing further injuries to Feng Buping and depriving him of his right to speak.
"My Lord, please stop!"
At this moment, Yue Buqun, the host of this place, bowed to Zhu Chengwu and called Zhu Chengwu.
"Hmm~"
Zhu Chengwu turned to look at Yue Buqun, with obvious doubt in his eyes.
After all, Zhu Chengwu's current attitude tends to be towards Yue Buqun.
Yue Buqun shouldn't have called out to him or stopped him at this time!
"Brother Feng, it's meaningless for you to be so stubborn!
When Uncle Feng gave up on you, he thought that one day you would be unwilling to be ordinary and let a wolf into the house!
I also thought that you might make excuses in front of the Marquis one day, so Master Feng left behind witness evidence to let the world know who is the one who is making excuses and lying! "
After Yue Buqun called out to Zhu Chengwu, he saluted him, then turned to look at Feng Buping who was lying on the ground seriously injured, and uttered words that made Feng Buping despair.
Hearing Yue Buqun's words, Feng Buping's eyes first showed a look of shock, but immediately turned into calmness and indifference.
As if fearless!
“Uncle Feng obviously values me more. Even if Uncle Feng didn’t pass on the position of Huashan Sect Leader to me because of what happened before, Uncle Feng would never leave Yue Buqun a way to completely kill me. Absolutely not!
This hypocrite Yue Buqun must be deceiving me! Yes, he must be deceiving me!"
Deep in his heart, which no one could fathom, Feng Buping was constantly comforting himself in this way.
But at this moment, Yue Buqun winked at his wife and junior sister Ning Zhongze.
Then Ning Zhongze bowed to Zhu Chengwu, apologized, and left quickly.
“My Lord, Madam, Wang Yangshen, Grandmaster Yang, please wait a moment!
The truth will be revealed soon!"
After Ning Zhongze left, Yue Buqun clasped his fists and said to everyone present.
"Master Yue, since this is an internal matter of your Huashan Sect, and Marquis Fu'an, who is a close friend of Senior Feng, is here, we will not bother you any more. Goodbye!"
Seeing the situation on the field change drastically, Ding Mian, the tower-holder standing nearby, suddenly said goodbye to Yue Buqun.
As for Zhu Chengwu, Cui Shuyun and others, they were deliberately ignored by Ding Mian.
It’s not that Ding Mian was so bold as to ignore Zhu Chengwu, but after thinking about it, Ding Mian felt that once he greeted Zhu Chengwu, he might not be able to leave.
Therefore, Ding Mian had to deliberately ignore Zhu Chengwu and pray that Zhu Chengwu, a great master who was powerful enough to influence the situation of the six dynasties in this world, would ignore him, a mere first-rate little man.
"Wait a minute! Since you, Mr. Ding, are here as a representative of the Songshan Sect and the Five Mountains Alliance to witness the internal dispute of the Huashan Sect, it's better to clarify the matter before leaving!"
What are you afraid of?
Zhu Chengwu spoke out to stop Ding Mian from leaving.
"My Lord, it's not that I don't want to stay, but the disciples down the mountain are still waiting, so I have to leave!"
Ding Mian paused involuntarily because of Zhu Chengwu's words, then turned around and explained to Zhu Chengwu.
It’s not that Ding Mian wanted to listen to Zhu Chengwu, he would stay if Zhu Chengwu asked him to, but Zhu Chengwu’s martial arts force Ding Mian to take Zhu Chengwu’s words seriously.
Feng Buping, the previous example, is still lying on the ground, and Ding Mian doesn't want to be forced to stay by Zhu Chengwu's true energy.
