Chapter 117 Hengshan Three Destinies
Zuo Lengchan frowned when he heard this and looked at Fang Zheng, but saw that there was no other expression on Fang Zheng's face, as if he didn't hear it. He could only suppress the anger in his heart and said nothing.
Chongxu said, "Alright, alright. It's a great thing that we scared Dongfang Bubai away this time. As long as we can deal with Dongfang Bubai, we don't have to be afraid of the demon cult members who are besieging us outside. The righteous reinforcements have already gathered at Taishi Mountain. When they attack together, we will cooperate from inside and outside and it won't be a problem to repel them."
However, no reinforcements arrived to attack the cult members. At night, the cult members suddenly withdrew. The righteous people were a little surprised, fearing that it was a trick of the cult, so they insisted on staying until dawn.
After daybreak, all the major leaders went down the mountain to investigate, only to find that all the members of the Demon Cult had already withdrawn completely, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the enemy had retreated, the major leaders did not lead their teams away because they were afraid that the Demon Cult would set an ambush on the way back. It would be better to stay for a while, so everyone stayed.
On that day, disciples from various major sects also went to Shaolin Temple. Xin Zhen also met the Huashan Sect's entourage. Everyone in the Huashan Sect was very happy to see Xin Zhen, especially Linghu Chong.
Linghu Chong found Xin Zhen's residence and said with a smile, "Brother Xin, I have heard a lot of your legendary deeds these days. Wow, you blocked the entrance to Songshan Mountain and defeated the world's number one Dongfang Bubai. It's really admirable!"
Xin Zhen laughed and asked, "How did you know about the Songshan incident?"
Linghu Chong chuckled and said, "Someone saw it, and the Songshan Sect is not a monolithic group, so there will always be news leaking out.
We came from Huashan and heard it on the way. They all said Zuo Lengchan was the best in the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the third best in the world. I didn't expect him to be defeated by Brother Xin. Hahaha, let's see how arrogant he is this time."
Xin Zhen asked Linghu Chong about the Dugu Nine Swords: "How is your practice of the Dugu Nine Swords going recently?"
Linghu Chong said with some joy and some annoyance, "I'm familiar with them all, but I rarely encounter heavyweight opponents.
You said that in order to improve this sword technique, one needs a strong enough opponent.
But along the way, there were no opponents except some thieves.
I originally thought that I would have a chance to fight the Demon Cult this time, but the Demon Cult retreated completely overnight.
I just realized that it was Brother Xin who scared Dongfang Bubai away. Ha, that's really amazing."
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "There will be opportunities in the future. When I fought against Dongfang Bubai, it was also Dugu Jiujian who made the difference. You should practice sword skills well. Your comprehension is not inferior to mine. One day you will definitely be better than me."
Linghu Chong laughed and said, "Brother Xin, please stop laughing at me. My understanding is nothing compared to yours. I used to boast of my extraordinary talent, but after practicing Dugu Nine Swords, I realized how big the gap is between you and me.
My master often expresses his admiration for your swordsmanship in front of us, saying that you have surpassed him countless times in Yangwu swordsmanship. "
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "It's just borrowing the concept of Dugu Jiujian."
Linghu Chong shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. I also know the Dugu Nine Swords, but my Yangwu Swordsmanship is still only on par with Master's. I don't know when I can reach your level."
Xin Zhen smiled and said nothing.
He had no special feeling about his talent, probably because there was no comparison. Although Feng Qingyang said many times that his talent was rare in a century, he himself still had no idea to what extent it was. He thought that it was probably because he was a scholar, so his comprehension ability was extraordinary.
Linghu Chong did not dwell on this question anymore and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xin, I heard that you and the Saint Lady of the Demon Cult have decided to spend your life together?" Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Yes."
Linghu Chong said happily: "Congratulations, I heard that the Saint of the Demon Sect is extremely beautiful and intelligent, and is especially admired by heroes all over the world. Only a woman like this can be worthy of Brother Xin."
Xin Zhen smiled, chatted with Linghu Chong for a while, and then Hengshan Sanding came over.
Upon seeing this, Linghu Chong quickly said goodbye and left.
When Master Dingjing saw Xin Zhen, she was about to kneel down. Xin Zhen was startled and quickly helped her up, saying, "Master Dingjing, why are you doing this?"
Master Ding Jing said gratefully: "If it weren't for your help, the disciples of our Hengshan Sect would have encountered great disaster this time. Our Hengshan Sect has no way to repay you for the time being, so I can only kowtow to you to express my gratitude."
Xin Zhen waved his hands repeatedly and said, "It's just a small favor. You already thanked me last time, so you don't have to thank me this time."
Master Dingjing said: "Kowtow is just to show my respect, not to repay you. Your help is like saving our lives. If you need anything in the future, please send me a letter and I will be your vanguard!"
Xin Zhen even said he dared not.
At this time, Master Dingyi and Xin Zhen bowed and said, "Master Xin, I was wrong when we were in Hengshan before. This time, I am even more ashamed that you saved me from Hengshan. I would like to express my apologies here. If you have any instructions in the future, I will do my best!"
Xin Zhen didn't care much about this and said with a smile, "Master Dingyi, you are too serious. I didn't take it to heart. It was just a misunderstanding. I was not strong enough at the time and couldn't hold back. Instead, Master Dingyi lost face. That was my fault."
Master Dingyi said ashamedly: "I have to thank Master Xin for showing mercy."
Ding Xian, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Master Xin, your great kindness to Hengshan Sect is remembered by all of us in Hengshan Sect. If you have any other orders in the future, everyone in Hengshan Sect will obey them."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xin Zhen was suddenly awed. Ding Jing and Ding Yi only represented themselves, while Master Ding Xian made this promise on behalf of the Hengshan Sect. This promise was extremely heavy.
Xin Zhen and Master Ding Xian bowed and said, "Xin Zhen has no intention of repaying a favor, but he hopes that Hengshan Sect and Huashan Sword Sect can be on good terms and help each other. If Hengshan is in trouble, it means that the Sword Sect is in trouble. If the Sword Sect is in trouble, I hope Hengshan will be willing to help!"
Nun Dingxian responded with joy, "That would be great. In my opinion, the martial arts world is in a turbulent time. It is a great joy for Hengshan Sect to have a top master like Sect Leader Xin to help and support us!"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "This is also a blessing for our Sword Sect."
Xin Zhen's mind moved, and then he said: "Three masters, I have some sword techniques, I would like to ask you to teach me."
Nun Dingxian smiled and said, "Master Xin's swordsmanship is superb. We can only look up to him, so how can we teach you?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "You three will know it at a glance."
