Ren Yingying and Lan Fenghuang Join the Party

Yue Lingshan no longer doubted that this was a fabricated coincidence; how could someone immediately admit to being a member of the Demonic Sect?

Instead, they pricked up their ears.

Civil War the demonic sect, huh? It happens all the time.

"Do you all truly wish to become enemies of my Five Immortals Sect?" That captivating voice rang out again from the Miaojiang Woman's mouth. She stepped forward, revealing her enormous, alluring eyes and her skin, which shimmered like warm jade.

The Five Immortals Sect!

The Mount Hua Sect, led by Yue Buqun, were momentarily stunned.

The Five Immortals is merely a self-designation used within the Five Poisons Sect.

They were skilled in using miasma, witchcraft, and poisons. Most of their disciples were Miao people, and they were on par with the "Hundred Herbs Gate" in the north and south.

When it comes to poisoning, these two are the real experts.

Even the Demonic Sect cannot compare.

If we say that the "Hundred Herbs Gate" uses poisonous schemes that are difficult to guard against, then if one survives the poisoning and examines the reasons carefully, one will suddenly understand.

The Five Poisons Sect, on the other hand, uses poisons in a simple and straightforward manner, while the poisons themselves are mysterious, strange, and difficult to fathom. Even if the poisoner explains in detail, it is often still hard to believe.

These members of the Sun Moon Demonic Cult Sect were clearly aware of the power of the Five Poisons Sect.

While the Three Corpses Brain God Pill is terrifying, the poisons of the Five Poisons Sect are no less potent.

"Please write a letter by the Saint Aunt so that we can explain to Yang Bu and the Eastern Cult Leader."

Yue Buqun was surprised: Yang should refer to Steward Yang of the Sun Moon Demonic Cult Manager Yang. (His gaze swept over several members of the Demonic Sect with severed hands.) However, many of these members of the Demonic Sect were humble. Even though they were already fighting each other, they still paid attention to their words and actions. It seems that this Saint Aunt must dislike Manager Yang very much, but she has a close relationship with Dongfang Bubai.

"Handwritten? That's so troublesome?" The Miaojiang Woman still Yingying, but for some reason, she was incredibly cold.

She didn't seem to make any move.

But the burly men at the front, with their years of experience tasting blood and danger, sensed something was wrong.

In an instant.

The burly men retreated abruptly, and the few people behind them, though unaware of the reason, quickly made way for them.

But it was too late.

Several burly men stood frozen in place, with a few glistening little insects clinging to their necks.

Yue Buqun had already activated the [Purple Cloud Qi], which greatly enhanced his senses. Even the finest details a dozen feet away could be seen as easily as the lines on the palm of his hand.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly: What an exquisite technique! It's even possible to use such a curse.

Li Lin sighed at Lan Fenghuang's thoughtfulness towards him.

He could tell at a glance that the two people had appeared for him.

In order not to offend Li Lin, Ren Yingying repeatedly emphasized that she wanted to leave the Demonic Sect, while Lan Fenghuang chose the Gu worm, which looked better but was not very practical.

"Damn it, going back means death, and messing with these two little wench means death too, let's fight!"

A thin, dark-skinned man wearing an ill-fitting, oversized robe waved his hand, and a cloud of colorful light shot towards the two of them.

His sudden action shattered the brief calm.

The other members of the demonic cult also launched hidden weapons.

Poisonous smoke, darts, fine needles, lime powder, chili powder, and all sorts of other hidden weapons are available.

Even though the woman in black wielding her swords with both hands could not penetrate the ink-splashed ground, and the Miaojiang Woman poisoned seven or eight people in an instant, she could only fight and retreat.

The disciples of Mount Hua were shocked: not only were the two women's swordsmanship and poison skills astonishing.

These members of the demonic cult truly disregard the rules of the martial world. They are covered in hidden weapons and poisons, using whatever they can find on the spot. They even use the corpses of their comrades as shields. If someone's arm is poisoned, they immediately cut it off without batting an eye. If the situation were reversed, even if they outnumbered these two, they probably wouldn't have lasted longer than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea before they were forced to die.

Yi Lin hesitated: It is said that Heaven cherishes life, and these two female benefactors have turned back from the wrong path. Their opponents are even treacherous members of the Demonic Sect, so I should intervene. But if it implicates Brother Li...

Although Brother Li possessed unparalleled martial arts skills, the karmic burden he accumulated from his excessive killings would affect him after his death.

Amitabha, I hope the Bodhisattva will bless Brother Li. He doesn't claim to be a god; he's just a good person in the martial arts world. Brother Li is a good man.

If Li Lin could hear Yi Lin's innermost thoughts, he would definitely be unable to resist pulling her into his arms.

At this moment, however, he couldn't care less about that.

"Brother Li, let's go kill these troublesome demons." Yue Lingshan's style was completely different from Yi Lin's.

Yi Lin was constantly agonizing over her thoughts, but she only ever said "yes" or "no," making her a bit of a quiet, reserved person.

Lingshan, on the other hand, is bright, generous, and straightforward.

She never thought there was anything wrong with it; she had long considered Li Lin as her husband and wife.

At this moment, she transformed into a pale blue phantom.

Even minor characters like Li Renyong, passersby like Lin Pingzhi, and crony characters like Yue Buqun all acquired their superb skills through Li Lin.

Yue Lingshan was no exception.

Every sword move he made was graceful and elegant, so much so that it was more like dancing than wielding a sword.

Even though she is moving incredibly fast now, leaving only a series of afterimages, her beauty is still dazzling.

"Such a fast sword."

The last pursuer died by Yue Lingshan's sword, and less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea had passed.

She turned around and gave a charming smile, as if she suddenly remembered that she had just said "we" to Li Lin, and then she killed all of them herself.

"What kind of sword technique is this?"

Even though she was momentarily blinded by love and forgot about the deceased Xiang Wentian and her imprisoned father, Ren Yingying, whose heart was only for Li Lin, couldn't help but ask this question.

"Flying Immortal," Brother Li said, "Who are you?" Yue Lingshan asked.

Although she turned around, the tip of her sword was still faintly pointed at the two of them, showing that she had not let go of her fear.

As Ren Yingying spoke, her beautiful eyes were fixed on Li Lin.

"Saint Aunt, no!" Lan Fenghuang stopped her at just the right moment.

Although she felt that the young man opposite her seemed to have seen through the hearts of the two young ladies, she still played along.

"Don't call me Saint Aunt anymore, I've already escaped the Demonic Sect. My name is Ren Yingying." Ren Yingying took a deep breath, remained silent for a moment, and then continued, "My father Ren Woxing."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

All the disciples of Mount Hua drew their swords in unison.

"Put it down." Yue Buqun quickly rebuked, "Our Huashan sect is a righteous sect, not a member of the demonic sect. The person here is not that demon Ren Woxing, but an orphan girl he left behind who was being hunted down by the demonic sect."

He has always perfectly and secretly played the role of a jester.

Since Emperor Li Lin allowed Yue Lingshan to take action, this courtier naturally understood His Majesty's intentions.

As for whether there might be a conspiracy.

Immortal Li is a true immortal; any mortal who thinks they can deceive him is simply laughing.

"My father," Ren Yingying suppressed the urge to stab Yue Buqun right now, her eyes welling up with tears, "I didn't see him much. He passed away when I was five or six years old. I don't know what kind of person he was."

"Miss Ren." Lan Fenghuang's eyes reddened as she quickly looked at everyone. "You are all from Mount Hua. Yingying was orphaned at a young age. Fortunately, she was helped by Sect Leader Ren's former subordinates and was able to stay away from the Demon Cave and grow up in Luoyang."

But now

"I hope you will allow Yingying to stay at the foot of Mount Hua."

"Of course, it's not impossible. The Demonic Sect and the Five Peaks Sword Sects are inherently irreconcilable, and we are happy to cause them trouble and oppose them." Yue Buqun politely cupped his hands and said, "I am Yue Buqun, the head of the Huashan Sect. I am highly regarded by the people of the martial arts world and have earned the elegant title of 'Gentleman Sword'."

"Mr. Xie Mister Yue, I am Lan Fenghuang, the leader of the Five Immortals Sect. Yingying and I have been very close since childhood. The Five Immortals Sect will surely repay your great kindness," Lan Fenghuang said softly.

"This is not my doing. It was Young Master Li who instructed me to do it," Yue Buqun quickly said.

"You are Immortal Li?" Lan Fenghuang's eyes shone brightly, as if she was about to faint. "I have never seen a man like you before. I wonder if I, Fenghuang'er, will have the honor of Yi Xi with you."

Before Yue Lingshan could get angry, Ren Yingying scolded, "You shameless little vixen, be more reserved. You can't say what you're thinking."

"I am a Miao person." Lan Fenghuang didn't care at all. "We don't have as many formalities as the Han people. If you meet someone you love, you should tell them everything in your heart and be honest with each other. Only in this way can you grow old together."

"Moreover, a person's life is only a hundred years, and if you take away the time to grow up, eat, and sleep, it is less than fifty years."

"If you get bogged down in the details, you'll have even less time to spend with your lover."

"I can't wait."

"Miss Lan, I am deeply grateful for your kind words," Li Lin said. "While I do not care about formalities, I must consider the opinions of Lingshan and Yi Lin. Therefore, I would be extremely eager to spend the night with you, but I must reluctantly decline."

"I have no objection, Brother Li," Yi Lin said.

She started internally battling again, engaging in self-pity. "It's already a great blessing that your elder brother doesn't mind that I'm a nun. Having multiple wives and concubines is quite common, especially with someone as outstanding as Brother Li, and Sister Lan is very beautiful."

"Little Lin ~" Yue Lingshan was furious at her lack of ambition.

Just as we were about to engage in a team fight, my teammate suddenly dropped to the ground.

"So, all I need to do is persuade Miss Yue?" Lan Fenghuang was overjoyed, her face blooming like a spring flower, becoming even more beautiful.

"You—" Yue Lingshan glanced at her own slight bulge and Lan Fenghuang's ample figure, and was speechless for a moment.

Ren Yingying: Ah, that really works!!!

Mount Hua, Cliff of Contemplation.

"Are there people on Lotus Peak?"

An elderly man with a white beard and a green robe focused his inner energy and gazed into the distance.

His Divine Aura was depressed, and his face was as pale as gold paper; he was none other than Feng Qingyang, who still hadn't forgotten the marriage fraud.

The next moment, he disappeared into the steep cliff face.

Like a ghost, it left no trace.

At the foot of Jade Maiden Peak.

Ning Zhongze of the Mount Hua Sect and his disciples came down the peak to greet them.

It is worth mentioning that Li Renyong and a group of Qingcheng disciples have reluctantly left and returned to western Sichuan, where they still need to deal with the matter of the change of leadership.

Also, the number of disciples of Mount Hua is not as small as depicted in TV dramas.

Including Ning Zhongze, there are about twenty of them.

Furthermore, the disciples ranged in age from over thirty to just fifteen or sixteen.

Linghu Chong was able to become the senior disciple in his twenties entirely because the Mount Hua Sect's rules were based on the order of entry into the sect, and he was the first to join.

As for Yue Lingshan, because she is the sect leader's daughter, she is not included in the Protégé ranks.

Everyone calls her Junior Sister.

Furthermore, Yue Lingshan was not the only female disciple of Mount Hua.

Besides her, there were six others. As soon as they saw Yue Lingshan, they surrounded her, chattering incessantly, and occasionally glancing at Li Lin with slightly flushed eyes.

"This is Young Master Li," Yue Buqun quickly introduced his junior sister.

Li Lin smiled Yingying he looked at the middle-aged beauty opposite him, without a trace of guilt in his heart.

That's why I feel guilty.

It was because Yue Buqun, in order to increase his skill level as quickly as possible, asked Li Lin for a method of "Refining Essence to Qi".

This "essence" does not refer to the broad range of physical blood and qi, or the essence of grains obtained from food, but rather to the Essence of Kidney Yang.

Although Yue Buqun's current martial arts skills are enough to defeat several parallel world versions of himself who practiced the "Bixie Sword Manual," his current state is no different from that of someone who has castrated himself; he's just a figurehead.

There are reasons why Li Lin feels no remorse for ruining his mother-in-law's happiness.

This is because the [Purple Cloud Divine Skill] already possessed similar characteristics before it was fully mastered.

Yue Lingshan's daughter was born before she practiced the [Purple Cloud Art]. After practicing it, her desires were greatly reduced, so she only had one daughter and no son to carry on the family line.

Furthermore, without Li Lin's help, Yue Buqun would have debuted as one of the "Mount Hua Four Sisters".

Ning Zhongze, the second sister, also committed suicide because of Yue Buqun, the eldest sister.

To be honest, Li Lin also saved Ning Zhongze's life.

Therefore, Yue Buqun's [Refining Essence] and the use of [Evil Warding True Qi] as the foundation of [Purple Cloud Art] greatly increased the value of the [Zixia Divine Skill], making it even more difficult to achieve. It was something that Li Lin probably wouldn't be able to accomplish in this lifetime, so he didn't plan to mention it anymore.

As people get older, they should naturally cultivate their character and temperament.

This is for the good of my father-in-law.

"Hello," Li Lin greeted him with a polite smile.

"Hello." Ning Zhongze suppressed the palpitations and jealousy that welled up from somewhere, and looked away from Li Lin after a brief eye contact.

She learned Li Lin's identity from Lu Dayou, who had regained his composure.

She couldn't let down her senior brother, Shan'er.

"This is Pingzhi, the young escort of the Fuwei Escort Agency, the leading art caster. Junior sister, you should know it from those two beasts." Yue Buqun did not notice anything unusual about his junior sister.

In order to advance his qigong skills, he has long since developed the ability to regard beautiful young female disciples as junior brothers and has long since abstained from lust.

Ning Zhongze's fiery temper and her lightning-fast, thunderous "Peerless Ning-style Sword" were also related to her long-term widowhood.

"Sigh," Ning Zhongze sighed, "Chong'er is one thing, but Six Monkeys..."

"Hmm?" Yue Buqun was about to introduce Lan Fenghuang and Ren Yingying, couldn't help but become curious. "Junior Sister, you're not showing favoritism towards Chong'er this time. What happened to that monkey?"

"He—" Ning Zhongze turned her head, "You should go and see for yourself. That monkey has already learned its lesson."

"Chong'er is probably the same. Since he came back, he has been in a daze, staying by Six Monkeys's side, and he has lost all his former energy and spirit."

"These two are Leader Lan of the Five Immortals Sect and Miss Ren. They are friends of Young Master Li and will be staying at Mount Hua for a while," Yue Buqun quickly changed the subject.

After all, Linghu Chong was raised by him from childhood.

He also regarded him as a son and son-in-law.

He had long since tacitly accepted his relationship with his daughter.

After all, they are the senior brother and junior sister.

This is a kind of inheritance.

That's how it was between him and his junior sister back then.

The only difference is the greater age gap between him and his junior sister.

As for the destruction of the tradition, I can only apologize to Chong'er.

"Greetings, both of you." Ning Zhongze sighed again.

She shared the same feelings as Yue Buqun.

They did not stop walking while they were talking, and had already reached the Jade Maiden Peak.

The surrounding trees are serene, birds sing sweetly, and streams murmur gently, making for a pleasant scene.

But she couldn't be happy.
