Chapter 158 Asking for the sword, asking for the way! Deciding the winner, deciding life and death!
"Are you finally unable to hold back?"

On the top of Mount Huashan, a slight murmur came from Gao Changsheng's mouth.

At this time, Gao Changsheng was standing on the cliff of Mount Huashan, his deep eyes staring at the white clouds that were constantly expanding in front of him.

It was as if I saw some very interesting pictures through the endless void.

"General Gao, our Huashan Sect has decided to respond to the call of Master Miejue of Emei and head to Guangmingding to fight the Demon Sect."

"Although our Huashan sect cannot compare to the big sects like Shaolin and Wudang, we will never lag behind in promoting the righteous way and slaying demons and monsters."

"Yue has made a decision. This time, the Huashan Sect will send out all its elite members, vowing to live and die with the righteous people of Jianghu. If this mission fails, we will die."

After saying that, Yue Buqun raised his head and looked at Gao Changsheng again, with a strange emotion in his eyes.

"Master Miejue's message is very urgent, so Yue will lead all the disciples to join them immediately. I hope General Gao will forgive me for my delay. I wonder if General Gao has other plans."

"Of course, if General Gao is interested in coming along, it would be an honor for Yue and the Huashan Sect."

Hearing this, Ning Zhongze, who had been standing beside Yue Buqun, couldn't help but show a strange look.

Of course, she knew Yue Buqun quite well.

Ever since the day Gao Changsheng went up the mountain, she could sense his irritability and anxiety.

But from Yue Buqun's words at this time, she keenly noticed that her husband's mentality seemed to have changed slightly.

But Ning Zhongze didn't think much about it.

She knew very well that Yue Buqun had always been in a heavy mood. After all, the entire Huashan Sword Sect was under the pressure of one person.

In her opinion, Yue Buqun's change might be due to what was happening right before his eyes.

The siege of Guangmingding by a major righteous sect is no small matter.

Although from the message sent by Master Miejue, they vaguely received support from Shaolin and Wudang.

It seems that the righteous path definitely has the upper hand.

But even a fool would know that the Ming Cult would not just sit there and wait for death.

Although the Ming Cult fell apart after Yang Dingtian disappeared, only Yang Xiao was left to support Guangmingding.

But the Ming Cult masters were just scattered, they were not dead.

Faced with the crisis of extinction, those scattered Mingjiao masters are likely to gather together again.

Most importantly, who knows if other evil forces will come to join in the fun.

Just like the Sun and Moon Sect, it is said to have the same origin as the Ming Sect.

Plus there are other evil forces in the world.

God knows which direction this war will develop.

Top sects like Shaolin and Wudang are naturally fearless.

But their Huashan Sword Sect now only has two or three cats and kittens, and they really can't withstand the storm.

As for refusing, that is obviously impossible. Other righteous forces are involved, and even Xian Yutong's Huashan East Sect has nodded in agreement. If only their Huashan Sword Sect refuses, it will not only offend the Emei Sect, but may even offend the entire righteous path.

In this situation, even if he gritted his teeth, Yue Buqun had no choice but to go ahead, because this was what it meant to be in the world of martial arts.

So in Ning Zhongze's eyes, Yue Buqun's sudden change of mood was most likely because he wanted to borrow the power of Gao Changsheng.

If Gao Changsheng is really willing to go with them.

Even if he did not take action, the presence of a great grandmaster in the formation would be a huge deterrent to any other force. Moreover, in addition to his own strength, Gao Changsheng also had an extraordinary identity.

Gao Changsheng chuckled and looked at Yue Buqun meaningfully.

"That's not necessary."

"Gao is an outsider after all, and is incompatible with the Ming martial arts world. If he were to get involved, it would only cause discomfort to everyone."

"What's more, the Bright Summit is too far away, and I don't have that much time."

After saying that, Gao Changsheng raised his hand slightly.

"All good things must come to an end. It is fate that I can meet Master Yue this time. I hope we can meet again someday."

"Gao will not send you off. I wish that Master Yue can lead the Huashan Sect to a great victory and bring glory to the martial arts world."

Hearing this, Ning Zhongze couldn't help but frowned.

Because from Gao Changsheng's words, it seems that he is not ready to leave Huashan.

Moreover, the other party's words sounded as if they were guests and Gao Changsheng was the host of Mount Hua.

"My husband and I are about to take our disciples on a journey to fight demons. General Gao is the only one on Mount Huashan, so I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."

Ning Zhongze spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Before they got married, Ning Zhongze, the Jade Girl of Mount Hua, was quite famous in the martial arts world.

After all, there are not many female warriors in the martial arts world, and there are even fewer women who are beautiful, powerful, and unique.

So when Ning Zhongze was traveling around the world, he had impressed many people. However, later when Huashan encountered a great chaos, Ning Zhongze got married and gradually put away her original edge.

At this moment, hearing Gao Changsheng's words, Ning Zhongze was so excited that he once again showed some of his former charm.

"Haha, it's an honor for Huashan that General Gao can stay here."

Yue Buqun laughed loudly: "But what Junior Sister said is right. Huashan is deserted, and the general's life is bound to be inconvenient. Why don't I leave one or two useless disciples to take care of the general's daily life."

After these words were spoken, Ning Zhongze's eyes once again showed a strange look.

In such a short period of time, Yue Buqun's attitude changed completely.

If they had not been together recently, Ning Zhongze would have suspected that the Yue Buqun in front of him was impersonated by someone else.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master Yue."

Gao Changsheng waved his hand.

Then he smiled and looked at Ning Zhongze.

"Please rest assured, Miss Ning. The reason why Gao stayed in Huashan is just to wait for something."

"One thing?"

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze both looked puzzled.

“Is General Gao looking for something? I wonder if I can be of any help?” Yue Buqun asked enthusiastically.

"Don't look for it, someone will bring it to you."

Gao Changsheng didn't turn his head, but just looked at the clouds in front of him and said lightly.

After saying that, he turned around and smiled:
"The reason why I stayed in Huashan is because the news has already spread. If I leave now, it would be bad if the other party can't find me."

Yue Buqun didn't understand a word Gao Changsheng said.

However, he noticed one thing, that Gao Changsheng was in a very good mood at this moment.

The other party actually opened his mouth and explained the reason to them.

You have to know that in the past few days, the total communication between them was only four or five sentences, and most of them were perfunctory.

"I wonder what General Gao is waiting for. Is it his subordinates? Or..."

Yue Buqun asked.

Ning Zhongze on the side also showed curiosity.

She could also feel that Gao Changsheng was very much looking forward to what he was waiting for.

If you think about it, you will know that something that can make someone of Gao Changsheng's status so excited is not an ordinary item.

Of course they were curious.

"I don't know."

Unexpectedly, Gao Changsheng actually shook his head.

This made the two of them stunned.

Gao Changsheng actually gave an answer of unknown, but since the other party didn't know, why would he choose to wait here, and why would he smile like that?
The minds of both of them froze almost at the same time.

Gao Changsheng didn't care about their emotions. His voice remained

Slowly coming out.

"It could be a letter, it could be a person."

"It could be a knife..."

It was a rather casual voice, but it made the two people's hearts tremble involuntarily.

Especially the last sentence, the sonorous sound unconsciously carried over into those plain words.

The two of them unconsciously felt a sense of oppression as if a storm was about to come and the world was changing.

Just on top of Mount Hua, Gao Changsheng felt something in his heart.

Somewhere in central Ming Dynasty, a monk with a bun on his head, carrying a huge package on his back, sneaked into a beautiful paradise with birds singing and flowers blooming.

"Brother, I heard that the Emei Sect's Nun Miejue is calling on fellow martial artists to besiege Guangmingding, and many righteous sects are participating."

Two young disciples in front are communicating.

"Yes, it's going to be very lively this time. It is said that Shaolin and Wudang will most likely participate, which is a rare situation."

"What about us? What about us?" the junior brother asked expectantly.

"Master Miejue did invite him, but the abbot refused."

"Ah? Why?" There was disappointment in the junior brother's eyes.

"Junior brother, you are obsessed. Our temple is a semi-secluded temple and has never participated in the wars of the martial arts world. What's the good of fighting and killing? It's not a good thing to rush into the vortex of Guangmingding." The junior brother touched his bald head and said blankly, "Shaolin, Wudang, and so many other big sects are participating at the same time. Is there still a problem? Is the Fire Worshiping Ming Cult really that strong?"

The senior brother shook his head and said, "The Ming Cult's Yang Dingtian, with his Nine Heavens Hands and the Qiankun Great Shift that protected the Cult, was a master of martial arts. I don't know how many masters he defeated."

The senior brother sighed repeatedly, but what he didn't notice was that when he mentioned the names of the two magical skills, two rays of light suddenly lit up in the grass in the distance, just like a lone wolf that had been hungry for a long time and suddenly found food.

"Didn't they say Yang Dingtian died a long time ago?" the little monk asked doubtfully.

"Yang Dingtian just disappeared. No one knows whether he is really dead or just pretending to be dead. Who knows, he might suddenly appear one day."

"Even without Yang Dingtian, the strength of the Ming Cult cannot be underestimated, and everyone knows that Shaolin and Wudang will not send out their full strength."

"Besides, the righteous can unite, are you sure the evil won't do the same?"

"In short, for all things in the martial arts world, we cannot jump to conclusions until the dust has settled."

Having said that, the senior brother smiled gently and patted the shoulder of the junior brother next to him.

"Okay, Junior Brother, don't think about that. Master asked us to go diving, so we have to do it as soon as possible, otherwise we will delay the work and Master will blame us."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them picked up the wooden barrel and galloped away into the distance.

Only after the two figures disappeared did Jiumozhi, carrying a package on his back, tiptoe out from the bushes.

"Bright Summit, Ming Cult, Great Nine Heavenly Hands, Great Shift of the Universe?"

A low whisper came out of Jiumozhi's mouth, and his eyes were shining brightly.

The words are divided into two parts.

Just when Jiumozhi once again sneaked into some unknown place.

At this time, the weather in the Huashan area had changed drastically.

At some point, the sunlight that was originally shining down disappeared completely.

The rolling dark clouds rolled down like an overwhelming force.

The fierce wind howled in the air, tearing the heart and lungs apart.

The inky black sky seemed to be about to collapse and press down downwards.

The changes in nature's celestial phenomena are always the most awe-inspiring.

Especially right now.

Not to mention ordinary people, even martial artists with true energy would unconsciously feel depressed when facing the rolling dark clouds.

At the foot of Huashan Mountain.

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze took the lead.

Behind them were a dozen disciples carrying bags.

At first glance, this lineup does seem a bit shabby.

Let’s not talk about those top sects, just take the nearby Huashan East Sect as an example. When they set out yesterday, there were nearly fifty or sixty people.

Of course, for Yue Buqun, this somewhat shabby lineup at this moment is already all the strength he can muster.

In other words, it means mobilizing the whole faction.

"We just set out and the weather suddenly changed. This is not a good sign." A young man yawned and looked at the sky casually.

As this voice fell, Yue Buqun's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Chong'er, don't talk nonsense." Ning Zhongze quickly scolded.

You have to know that this time they are going to have a decisive battle with the Demon Cult, and it is basically a fight between you and me.

Now that Linghu Chong suddenly said this, doesn't it mean that the future of their Huashan Sect is bleak and that something bad is very likely to happen?
Such remarks are no different from pointing at someone's nose and cursing them, and the person being cursed is one's own people.

"Master, Master, that's not what I meant."

Linghu Chong was just casual in character, not a fool. After Ning Zhongze spoke, he reacted immediately and said in fear and trepidation.

"It's okay. Warriors like us don't care about that. Your master never believes in it either."

Yue Buqun waved his hand and spoke in a calm tone.

As he spoke, a purple light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

After hearing Yue Buqun's words, Linghu Chong breathed a sigh of relief, took a few steps back, and dared not make any sound again.

However, after this episode, the mood of everyone in the Huashan Sect became much lower.

In particular, the celestial phenomena in the sky were changing more and more violently, and it looked like a storm was about to come.

Several people would always think of Linghu Chong's words unconsciously in their minds.

They had just descended the mountain and hadn't even set off yet, but the future of the Huashan Sect seemed to be shrouded in a shadow.

"Brother, is that person still on the mountain?"

Ning Zhongze, a kind-hearted woman, of course noticed that the atmosphere was wrong and changed the subject immediately.

After hearing Ning Zhongze's voice, Yue Buqun put away his gloomy expression and turned around and said:

"Yes, General Gao said that we have to wait for something to arrive. I think we will need to wait a few more days."

Ning Zhongze nodded. She said this just to divert Yue Buqun's attention. After all, she was also there when he was communicating with Gao Changsheng before.

However, after hearing this, she couldn't help but sigh: "I wonder what General Gao is waiting for?"

"This matter has nothing to do with us anymore." Yue Buqun shook his head.

"What we need to do now is to hurry on our way and join up with Emei or other sects. Although we are the ones besieging Guangmingding, no one can guarantee whether the Ming Cult will send people to kill us after receiving the news. To be on the safe side, it is better for us to act together with other sects."

"Brother, what you said makes sense. Then let's..." Ning Zhongze nodded, then turned around and began to greet the disciples.

But she was only halfway through her words when she was suddenly interrupted.

"Card wipe."

An extremely sharp tearing sound suddenly exploded.

Several people in the field raised their heads at the same time.

After seeing the scene clearly in the air, Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze, and the disciples behind them all changed their expressions at the first moment.

The sky, which was originally covered with rolling dark clouds, suddenly cracked at this moment.

Whether it was the dark clouds, the strong winds, or even the vast sky, it was all split into two halves in the middle.

It looked like it was torn into this shape by some force.

As for what kind of power it was, they did not wonder for too long, but soon saw it.

a knife.

A knife that is completely snow-white and emits a dazzling light.

It slowly emerged from the center of the torn sky.

The hair stood on end and the scalp felt numb.

This is the feeling that all the people from Huashan Sword Sect, from Yue Buqun onwards, have at this moment.

"This, this is..."

Ning Zhongze's voice was trembling.

The aura emitted by the giant sword was so powerful that she didn't know what level of master that was. She only knew one thing, that was a power that the entire Huashan Sect could not match.

And at this moment.

On the top of Mount Huashan, Gao Changsheng, who was originally sitting quietly, suddenly opened his eyes.

His gaze slowly turned to the sky, and then a smile appeared on his calm face.

On the other side, on a desolate cliff, an old man flew out of the cave as soon as possible and looked at the knife light in the sky with a serious expression.

"Sixty years have passed, half of my life has been covered with snow and half with frost."

The knife flashed out quickly, and the bright white light sprinkled down like snowflakes.

Along with the falling light, an old voice exploded between heaven and earth.

With Huashan as the center, everyone within a radius of hundreds of miles raised their heads at the same time.

“Thousands of miles on foot.”

"I now invite you to a fight with the sword as my guarantee."

"Half a month later, Kunlun in the Western Regions."

"Ask the knife, ask the way."

"Decide the outcome, decide life and death!"

"Liyang Qi Lianhua respectfully presents this to Duke Qi of the Great Sui Dynasty."

The voice with a breath of oldness rolled down, but there was not a trace of weakness.

Instead, it reveals endless toughness and strength.

Those sounds were like extremely sharp knives falling from the sky like raindrops.

Of course, the people who heard the voice at this time did not have the mind to think about these trivial details.

They only cared about the information revealed in the words. The sword light that shattered the sky turned out to be a declaration of war.

Qi Lianhua, the swordsman of Liyang, challenges the Duke of Qi of the Sui Dynasty to a duel.

Gao Changsheng.
