Chapter 87: The Difference Between Good and Evil, Just a Tool
"Yue Buqun, you actually attacked me by surprise. You have no moral principles and your actions are so despicable!"

Zuo Lengchan's beard was stained with blood, and his eyes were filled with resentment.

He didn't expect that he would die at the hands of Yue Buqun in the end.

He had also sensed Yue Buqun's ambition before.

However, as a former defeated opponent, the Huashan Sect lost the position of leader of the Five Mountains to the Songshan Sect.

So he never took Yue Buqun seriously. Who knew that Yue Buqun was so cunning, hypocritical and despicable, and even more unethical than him. When he was fighting with Yu Canghai, he actually attacked him from behind.

"Brother Zuo, this is how the martial arts world works. The winners are kings and the losers are bandits. If you defeat Sect Leader Yu, the rest of the Five Mountains will be in trouble!"

Yue Buqun looked at Zuo Lengchan, who was at the end of his strength and whose eyes were full of resentment and hatred, and he said calmly.

"Even if I die, I will drag you down with me."

Zuo Lengchan felt ruthless and turned around.

He gathered all his internal strength, ready to make a final and life-threatening attack, to pull Yue Buqun and himself underground.

But Yue Buqun was very careful about his life and didn't want to die together with Zuo Lengchan at all.

He retreated again and again, not wanting to have any contact with Zuo Lengchan.

Zuo Lengchan had just gathered some internal strength and took two or three steps when his body began to stagger.

As he had just been ambushed by Yue Buqun and had his sword pulled out, blood continued to gush out of the wound, and Zuo Lengchan was like a leaking bubble.

His internal strength and vitality were constantly draining away, and Zuo Lengchan finally lost the chance to launch a final attack.

"Zuo Lengchan, you will not have a good ending. I am waiting for you downstairs."

As Zuo Lengchan uttered a curse, his body fell to the sky, and a generation of heroes died.

Many people who came to attend Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony had not yet recovered from the recent incident. Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance and a great hero in the martial arts world, was actually killed in a sneak attack by Yue Buqun, the leader of the Huashan Sect.

"Master Yu, thank you for your help just now, which gave me the opportunity to kill the ambitious Zuo Lengchan."

Seeing Zuo Lengchan die under his sword, Yue Buqun held the sword and bowed.

He was attacking himself on the side of justice where he had no choice but to protect himself, so that others could not find fault with it.

He also thanked Yu Canghai for giving the Qingcheng Sect enough face.

"Master Yue has good tactics."

Yu Canghai's fight with Zuo Lengchan was interrupted by Yue Buqun's sudden intervention, but because Yue Buqun gave him enough face, he could not insist on it. He could only respond indifferently and walked back to the Qingcheng Sect's team.

Anyway, he proved that he had achieved his goal in this competition.

Zuo Lengchan was not related to him, and he even had some grudges against the Qingcheng Sect, so there was no need for him to stand up for Zuo Lengchan.

"Zuo Lengchan is dead now!"

"A great hero died in a sneak attack by Yue Buqun, the leader of Huashan Sect."

"Yue Buqun had no choice but to do this. Zuo Lengchan was too ambitious. He wanted to learn from the Qingcheng Sect and unite the Five Mountains."

"Can the Five Mountains Sword Sect be the same as the Qingcheng Sect? The Five Mountains Sword Sects are located in different places. Zuo Lengchan wants to merge the Five Mountains Sword Sects, unless he can move them together."

"It was his ambition that killed him!"

At the Golden Basin Conference, the heroes saw this unexpected scene and it took them a while to come back to their senses.

"Master Yue, thanks to you for being so decisive and taking action in time!"

"If Zuo Lengchan really wins, then the other four sects of our Five Mountains Sword Sect will be in trouble."

After Yue Buqun killed Zuo Lengchan in a surprise attack, when he returned to the Huashan Sect's team, Taishan Sect's head Taoist Tianmen and Hengshan Sect's head abbess Dingxian came over together. Taishan Sect's head Taoist Tianmen said.

"It's just that the means were a little too despicable."

Nun Dingxian said that she was upright in heart and behaved in a decent manner.

"Master Dingxian, you can't resort to trickery against a villain like Zuo Lengchan. He is a despicable person himself. He even sent people to capture Senior Brother Liu's wife and children to threaten him during his retirement ceremony. He also took the opportunity to attack Hengshan Sect. If it weren't for Master Yue's quick thinking and sudden action, except for Zuo Lengchan, the other four sects of our Five Mountains Sword Sect would have been in great trouble."

Taoist priest Tianmen didn't care.

"Too."

Although Master Ding Xian could not stand Yue Buqun's way of doing things, she had to admit that Yue Buqun's sword strike just now did save the other four sects of the Five Mountains Sword Sect in disguise.

"That's right, Master Dingxian, it's still Taoist Tianmen who understands me. As the saying goes, those who accomplish great things don't pay attention to trivial matters. For a man like Zuo Lengchan, only by using more ruthless means than him can we thwart his conspiracy."

After hearing what Taoist Tianmen said, Yue Buqun smiled.

"Zuo Lengchan died just like that, but the position of the leader of the Five Mountains..."

Master Ding Xian said as she looked at Zuo Lengchan's body in the field.

Zuo Lengchan’s previous surprise attack had severely injured the Hengshan Sect’s leader, Mo Da, but Zuo Lengchan was then killed by Yue Buqun’s sneak attack.

Although the strength of the Five Mountains Sword Sect has suffered some damage now, it does not affect the Five Mountains Sword Sect, and it is still a major force in the martial arts world.

Now that the leader of the Five Mountains is gone, it is natural to elect a new leader.

"I think that Master Yue has outstanding martial arts and is smart, so he can take on the position of the leader of the Five Mountains. What's more, Huashan Sect was the leader of the Five Mountains before Songshan Sect."

Tianmen Taoist priest said.

"I have no objection to Sect Leader Yue taking the position of the leader of the Five Mountains, but this matter needs to be carefully considered and we need to seek the opinions of others. Let's wait until Sect Leader Mo wakes up before making a decision."

Master Ding Xian thought for a moment and said.

In fact, she didn't really want to support Yue Buqun to take over the position of leader of the Five Mountains. Although Yue Buqun said nice things and attacked Zuo Lengchan for the other four sects of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, his methods were too despicable and he would do anything to achieve his goals. After he took over the position of leader of the Five Mountains, she was afraid that he would be another Zuo Lengchan.

However, it was not easy for her to oppose Yue Buqun openly, so she could only use the excuse that Mo Da had not yet awakened.

"Alright."

Yue Buqun remained calm and nodded.

Anyway, he has already regarded the position of the leader of the Five Mountains as a sure thing, and anyone who dares to stop him will be a stumbling block that he must get rid of.

……

"Master, are you okay?"

After Yu Canghai returned to the Qingcheng Sect team, Lin Pingzhi asked Yu Canghai.

"I'm fine. I just didn't expect Yue Buqun to be so cruel and kill Zuo Lengchan by surprise."

Yu Canghai shook his head, still a little dazed by what had just happened.

"Where are you going!"

Chu Yuan smiled.

Yue Buqun is not only cruel and ruthless, but also cruel to his enemies and himself.

His scheming and tricks, as well as his ability to manipulate people's hearts, are top-notch in the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer.

He accomplished it all by himself. Not only did Zuo Lengchan accomplish the feat of merging the Five Mountains that he had dreamed of day and night, he even reached the Black Wood Cliff and killed the Demon Cult leader Ren Woxing.

If he had not angered the protagonist Linghu Chong, who was still grateful to him, and made Linghu Chong attack him, he might have been able to accomplish the feat of unifying the martial arts world.

Especially since he appeared in this world, Linghu Chong has not yet harbored any resentment towards the Huashan Sect, and Yue Buqun has tied Linghu Chong up with his daughter Yue Lingshan.

Let’s not talk about whether Yue Buqun and Linghu Chong, the master and disciple, will become enemies in the future.

With myself, Yue Buqun in this world will only achieve higher achievements than in the original plot.

"Junior brother, you think highly of Yue Buqun?"

Yu Canghai was shocked when he heard Chu Yuan say this.

"Aren't you afraid that Huashan Sect will become a strong rival of Qingcheng Sect in the future?"

Seeing Chu Yuan smiling and not saying anything, Yu Canghai continued.

This is how the underworld works, dissidents will be eliminated by any means necessary.

As long as a new sect emerges and poses a threat to the old sect, the old sect's first thought is to completely eliminate the sect in its infancy before it develops.

Shaolin is like this!

Wudang is like this!

This was also Yu Canghai's first thought when he heard Chu Yuanzhi's words.

"Brother, rest assured. Qingcheng Sect has me. Even if Huashan Sect merges with the Five Mountains and grows stronger, it will not pose a threat to our Qingcheng Sect."

Chu originated from Xindao.

Now in the entire Qingcheng Sect, there are four people who have mastered the "Nine Heavens Gangqi", including him, Yu Canghai, Bixu, and Cuixia, the two old Taoists.

There will only be more and more in the future.

"Brother, don't you think that the martial arts world is just full of fighting and killing, you want to suppress me, I want to suppress you, it's too boring?"

Chu Yuan smiled.

"Junior brother, what do you mean..."

Hearing Chu Yuan's words, Yu Canghai felt puzzled.

"Brother, you will know later."

Chu Yuan said with a somewhat mysterious expression.

……

After this fight, Liu Zhengfeng's delayed retirement ceremony could finally proceed smoothly.

Liu Zhengfeng took his disciples and servants to the next room and sent someone to invite a doctor to treat his senior brother Mo Da's injuries.

He reappeared in the hall and continued his retirement ceremony.

No one would stop this retirement ceremony.

The remaining nine Thirteen Guardians of Songshan Sect, led by Ding Mian, the Tower-Holding Hand, and the disciples of Songshan Sect who surrounded Liu Mansion outside, retreated one after another after Yue Buqun stepped forward and said a few words.

"Everyone, Zuo Lengchan said that I, Liu Zhengfeng, colluded with the Demon Sect. My good friend Qu Yang is indeed an elder of the Demon Sect, but we both love the way of music and became like-minded friends through music. For a long time, the righteous and the evil have been fighting endlessly. The world is so big that there is no place for the two of us. In order to force me to give up my life, the leader Zuo even threatened the lives of my wife and children. And my good friend, because of his friendship with me, decided to quit the Demon Sect and was hunted by the Demon Sect. We are tired of the fighting in the martial arts world, so Liu decided to quit the martial arts world..."

"I am already at the age of 50, and I don't have many years left to live. I just want to play the piano and flute with Brother Qu and spend the rest of my life. Anyone who has grudges against me can settle them before I retire. After I retire, all the grudges in the martial arts world will be wiped out."

Before retiring from the underworld, Liu Zhengfeng once again spoke to the crowd of people who came to attend his retirement meeting today.

After hearing what Liu Zhengfeng said, some people said that Liu Zhengfeng deserved it, as he had fallen into depravity and had associated with the people of the Demon Cult.

Some people also say that the two are Boya and Ziqi. Life is short, and it would be enough if one could meet friends like Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang.

However, Liu Zhengfeng was a chivalrous man and rarely offended others. Apart from the Songshan Sect, no one stood up to stop Liu Zhengfeng from retiring.

Liu Zhengfeng put his hands in the golden basin, washed them, and then wiped them with a towel.

Just when the heroes thought that the meeting of retiring from the underworld was about to end, they saw Liu Zhengfeng walk up to Qu Yang, looked at Qu Yang and said, "Brother Qu, why don't you follow me and retire from the underworld today?"

Qu Yang's lips trembled slightly when he heard this, and he was silent for a moment. He didn't know how to answer Liu Zhengfeng.

"Grandpa, don't worry. No one will dare to embarrass you while I am here."

When Liu Zhengfeng said this, his grandfather was a little hesitant, and Qu Feiyan persuaded him.

She had long wanted her grandfather to quit the martial arts world and the evil sect.

You are already old, why would you want to get involved in the martial arts world or the evil sect?

Her parents were killed by the Songshan Sect, which might not have been due to the fact that her grandfather was an elder of the evil sect.

"Okay, I'll quit, too."

After hearing what his granddaughter Qu Feiyan said, Qu Yang put aside his worries and agreed with a smile.

"But whether I can retire from the underworld or not, Qu Yan, I'm afraid it won't count if you tell Brother Liu..."

Qu Yang continued.

If he wanted to retire, he would not only have to consider the opinions of the righteous sects, but also the opinions of the Demon Sect. Once a Demon Sect member joined, he would not be allowed to withdraw.

Just because he wanted to quit the underworld, the Demon Cult had issued a kill order against him, and the Saint Lady of the Demon Cult was hunting him down.

Qu Feiyan understood part of what Grandpa Qu Yang meant. He was worried whether the upright people would allow him to retire.

Qu Feiyan immediately looked at her master Chu Yuan with a pleading look.

She knew that with her master's current status, as long as he said a word, Grandpa Qu Yang would retire from the underworld.

Chu Yuan thought for a moment, then said to Yue Buqun who was not far away:

"Master Yue, I think the friendship between Liu Daxia and Qu Yang is sincere, and the righteous martial arts community is broad-minded. How about letting them retire?"

Yue Buqun had some friendship with Chu Yuan because Chu Yuan had given him the "Bixie Sword Manual" in exchange. In addition, at this resignation conference, many masters from the Qingcheng Sect appeared, which was far beyond the ability of the current Huashan Sect to deal with.

He smiled and said, "Of course, this is just a small matter. The righteous martial arts community is broad-minded. We can still tolerate a demon sect elder who wants to retire from the martial arts world."

After Yue Buqun said this, it seemed that Qu Yang was not going to retire from the underworld, but to leave the evil sect and join the righteous martial arts world.

However, Yue Buqun's statement is indeed more easily accepted by the righteous martial arts world.

It can be seen from the fact that Master Dingxian, Taoist Priest Tianmen and other heroes in the martial arts world kept nodding their heads after hearing what Yue Buqun said.

"Okay."

Chu Yuan turned around and said to Qu Yang.

"Thank you, Qingcheng Sword Immortal."

Seeing that Chu Yuan only said a few words and made the entire righteous martial arts world agree to this matter, Qu Yang felt extremely grateful.

Although he still had doubts in his heart, he had already walked to the golden basin where Liu Zhengfeng had just washed his hands.

At Liu Zhengfeng's signal, the servant brought another basin of water, and Qu Yang reached out to put some water into the golden basin.

"Wait, once you join my Demon Sect, there is no such thing as leaving. Elder Qu Yang wants to leave the Demon Sect, but he has to ask me if I agree first?"

At this moment, a woman's voice was heard outside Liu's house, sometimes far away and sometimes near.

Qu Yang, who was about to wash his hands, suddenly changed his expression.

A girl wearing a purple and black patterned silk skirt, a black belt around her waist, and a veil on her head, with a graceful figure and skin as smooth as a baby's, whose beautiful face can be vaguely seen, holding a long sword in her hand, jumped down from the roof, landed in the inner courtyard, and walked towards Qu Yang in the hall.

"Saint Aunt!"

"Qu Yang pays homage to the Saint Aunt!"

When Qu Yang saw this beautiful, dazzling girl wearing a veil, he was shocked and knelt on the ground to salute her.

"Qu Yang, do you want to retire?"

The girl walked up to Qu Yang, lowered her head and looked at him.

"Saint Aunt, I..."

Qu Yang was filled with fear, but at the same time he didn't want to give up this hard-earned opportunity to retire. He lowered his head for a moment, unable to speak.

"Do you remember what you promised me?"

The girl asked Qu Yang with a smile.

"I...I promised Saint Auntie that once I deliver the zither to Brother Liu, I will die voluntarily."

As Qu Yang spoke, his voice trembled slightly.

Only those in the Demon Sect knew how cruel and merciless this young and beautiful Saint Lady of the Demon Sect was and how she had killed countless people.

"Who are you? Why should my grandfather lead me to death?"

Qu Feiyan couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she walked up to the girl in the veil and asked her.

"Your grandfather? It seems that you are the granddaughter of Elder Qu?"

When the girl in the veiled hat heard Qu Feiyan's words, she walked around Qu Feiyan for two steps and looked her up and down with an interested look.

"Fei Yan, don't speak to Saint Aunt like that."

Hearing his granddaughter and the Saint Aunt quarreling, Qu Yang quickly raised his head to persuade them.

"Grandpa, you are afraid of this Saint Aunt, but I am not. I am not a member of the Demon Cult who would kill people at any time. I think she is not very old, so she should not be called Saint Aunt, but a demon girl."

Qu Feiyan said without any concern.

"You said I was a witch, I'll show you how witchy I am!"

When the girl in the veiled hat heard Qu Feiyan's words, a hint of murderous intent suddenly appeared on her face, which had been smiling like a flower just now. She drew her sword directly, and with a flash of sword light, she stabbed towards Qu Feiyan.

Qu Feiyan had the Dragon Roar Sword in her hand and was not afraid of the Holy Lady of the Demon Cult. With the dazzling sword light flashing, she drew her sword to fight.

In just a short moment, the two had exchanged nearly ten moves, and the Saint Lady was defeated step by step. The long sword in her hand had been cut off by Qu Feiyan, leaving only the hilt in her hand.

"How is it possible? How could it be this sword?"

When the Saint Lady saw the Dragon Roar Sword in Qu Feiyan's hand, which could cut through iron like mud, a hint of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

"and many more……"

The Saint Lady called a halt to the fight.

"Who is the owner of this sword?"

The Saint Lady asked Qu Feiyan.

"This sword is called the Dragon Roar Sword. It is my master's sword."

Seeing that the Saint Lady had stopped, Qu Feiyan could not draw her sword again, so she stopped.

"Who is your master?"

The Saint asked curiously.

"My master is the Qingcheng Sword Immortal."

Qu Feiyandao.

"So it's the Qingcheng Sword Immortal, no wonder..."

A hint of realization flashed across the Saint Lady's eyes.

"Master?"

Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Yuan. She thought Chu Yuan was acquainted with the Saint Lady of the Demon Cult.

"Are you the Qingcheng Sword Immortal?"

Following Qu Feiyan's gaze, the Saint Lady of the Demon Cult finally knew who the Qingcheng Sword Immortal was. She walked up to Chu Yuan and bowed.

"I am, you are the Saint of the Demon Cult, your last name is Ren?"

Chu Yuan looked at the dazzling girl in front of him, who was wearing a veil hat and a purple dress. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, her figure was very beautiful.

"The Saint of the Demon Cult, Ren Yingying, pays respect to the senior."

Ren Yingying looked at Chu Yuan. She had not expected that the Qingcheng Sword Immortal, who was rumored to be on good terms with her own leader, was actually so young. He looked only a few years older than her, and was of the same generation as her. He was also handsome, with an extraordinary temperament and picturesque features.

But this Qingcheng Sword Immortal had become famous eight years ago for defeating many masters of the Five Mountains Sword Sects with just one sword.

"Do you recognize the sword in my disciple's hand?"

Chu Yuan asked.

"That magic weapon was entrusted to me by my sect leader to recast for you, so I naturally recognize it."

Ren Yingying said.

"No wonder."

When Yu Canghai heard this, he was surprised and felt complicated.

It turned out that the junior brother had given the magic weapon to the Demon Cult to be recast.

Before, he was wondering who had given the magic weapon that his junior brother suddenly took out to forge.

I didn't expect it to be a cult.

"Could it be that in Junior Brother's mind, the Demon Sect is more trustworthy than the Qingcheng Sect?"

Yu Canghai was puzzled.

"Qu Yang is my disciple's grandfather. Can you spare his life and let him retire for my sake?"

Chu Yuan asked Ren Yingying.

"Our leader has never issued an order to kill Qu Yang. The leader considered that Qu Yang was the grandfather of the senior disciple, so he specially sent a message to me. The reason why I came to hunt down Qu Yang is because it is difficult to explain Qu Yang's matter to the members of the sect. The leader said that if he really wants to retire and leave our demon sect, he only needs to give up his martial arts."

Ren Yingying said.

"Senior, once we, the members of the Demon Cult, joined the Demon Cult, there was no such thing as quitting. The leader came up with this compromise because of your face."

Ren Yingying seemed to be afraid that Chu Yuan might be dissatisfied with the result, so she continued to explain.

"Okay, I see."

Chu Yuan nodded and looked at Qu Feiyan and Qu Yang:

"You have heard it, and it is up to you to decide."

Qu Yang slowly stood up, bowed to Ren Yingying and said, "Thank you for not killing me, Master. As for my martial arts..."

"Anyway, after Brother Liu and I retire from martial arts, we will just play the piano and flute every day, so we don't need martial arts anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Yang tapped several major acupoints on his body, and finally slapped his dantian with his palm.

As a mouthful of blood spurted out, Qu Yang's spirit suddenly became weak, as if he had aged several years in an instant.

"grandfather!"

Seeing that Qu Yang really gave up his martial arts, Qu Feiyan held his grandfather Qu Yang's arm, looking nervous and yelling.

"Fei Yan, it's okay. I just destroyed my martial arts."

Qu Yang shook his head.

Ren Yingying had a sharp eye and could tell at a glance that Qu Yang's dantian and several main meridians in his body were damaged, and his internal energy was constantly dissipating. His martial arts were considered useless.

"Qu Yang's martial arts were abolished and he was expelled from the Demon Sect. From now on, he will no longer be a member of our Demon Sect."

Seeing that Qu Yang had given up his martial arts, Ren Yingying made an announcement in front of all the heroes of the righteous martial arts world.

"It is rumored that this Qingcheng Sword Immortal and the Demon Cult leader have a close relationship. Seeing him today, it is indeed true."

"Haven't you heard that the magic weapon in the hands of the Qingcheng Sword Immortal's disciples was forged with the help of the Demon Cult?"

"Even the Demon Cult was willing to make an exception for the Qingcheng Sword Immortal and only abolished the martial arts of the Demon Cult elder who should have been killed."

"Compared to Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, I feel that the Qingcheng Sword Immortal and the Demon Cult leader Dongfang Bubai are the true best friends!"

"Aren't the famous and upright sects such as Shaolin, Wudang, and the Five Mountains Sword Sect shouting every day that they want to eliminate demons and uphold justice, and that good and evil cannot coexist? How come they have become silent now!"

"How dare they? They only dare to pick on soft persimmons like Mr. Liu San. Who dares to offend Qingcheng Sect and Qingcheng Sword Immortal so easily?"

The heroes in the martial arts world discussed this matter loudly, fearing that the Five Mountains Sword Sect could not hear it.

Naturally, these words also reached the ears of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

Nun Dingxian and Taoist Priest Tianmen did not look very happy.

Yue Buqun still had a smile on his face and stood there calmly, as if he had heard nothing and seemed to be unconcerned about the matter.

Anyway, in Yue Buqun's mind, good and evil cannot coexist, and there is a difference between good and evil. They are all just tools to achieve one's goals.
