Closed-Door Seclusion
Liu Zhengfeng's Washing Hands in a Golden Basin ceremony has finally come to an end.
The many upheavals and changes that occurred at the conference were spread throughout the world by the mouths of the thousands of martial arts practitioners present.
Every sect and school in the world was deeply shocked upon hearing this.
Who could have imagined that this ceremony to mark the end of Washing Hands in a Golden Basin would be so full of twists and turns, so fraught with danger?
This great battle, which involved thousands of people from both the righteous Demonic Cult, was full of intrigues and deadly plots. Liu Zhengfeng, who was accused of colluding with the Demonic Cult sect, was innocent.
The Mount Song Sword, which has always been at the forefront of fighting against the Sun Moon Demonic Sect, has actually become colluding with the Demonic Cult.
The fierce fighting resulted in the deaths of sixty or seventy top-tier martial arts masters.
Almost half of the masters in the martial arts world were lost, and most of them died at the hands of Ji Boying of the Mount Hua Sect.
Such a formidable fighting spirit commands respect and admiration.
The prestige of the Mount Hua Sect suddenly rivaled that of thirty years ago.
It was as if the sword had been drawn from Mount Hua, overwhelming the Five Sacred Mountains and Three Great Mountains, and once again vying with Shaolin Wudang.
However, the situation this time is slightly different from that of decades ago.
Decades ago, the entire Mount Hua Sect was powerful, but now Mount Hua Sect is in decline and only a few top masters are holding it together.
However, it's not easy to tell which one is higher and which one is lower.
Yue Buqun fought valiantly against three masters from the Sword Faction, subduing them, and then defeated two elders from the Demonic Cult who were aided by experts in hidden weapons.
Faced with Zuo Lengchan's sudden attack, the company defeated Zuo Lengchan in three rounds, and exchanged injuries with the Thirteen Taibao through offensive exchanges.
Such strength clearly far surpasses that of Zuo Lengchan.
The martial Wudang world generally acknowledges that Zuo Lengchan's skill level is similar to that of the abbot of Shaolin Temple.
Perhaps the leaders of Shaolin Wudang are more skilled, but Zuo Lengchan is more ruthless, and the outcome of the fight would be at least 40/60.
When faced with a powerful enemy's siege, Yue Buqun was able to react quickly to Zuo Lengchan's sneak attack and immediately suppress him. This strength seems to be slightly surpassing that of the leaders of Shaolin and Wudang.
No one knows the limits of Heroine Ning of the Mount Hua Sect, except that she easily defeated two bodyguards from the Songshan Sect.
Although Linghu Chong of the Mount Hua Sect did not achieve much on the battlefield, he managed to tie down four top-tier masters of the Demonic Cult Sect for a period of time, two of whom were the renowned Twin Bears of Mo Bei, forcing them to exchange injuries for injuries.
Although he failed to defeat these four masters, Linghu Chong could still be considered to have suffered a glorious defeat.
His skill level may be still shallow, but his combat prowess is enough to make him a top-tier fighter in the martial arts world.
The other disciples of the Mount Hua Sect also performed exceptionally well in this battle, but unfortunately, they were overshadowed by the brilliance of their master, Mistress, Senior Disciple Brother, Junior Disciple Brother.
As for Ji Boying's skill level, no one in the martial arts world can draw a conclusion.
He has already become the number one master of the righteous path.
As for whether he can be considered invincible, that depends on whether Dongfang Bubai of the Demonic Cult Sect agrees.
The Demonic Cult's power was truly immense, almost single-handedly contending with the entire righteous path of the martial world.
As for Dongfang Bubai, who firmly holds the position of leader, his skill level is naturally unfathomable.
While Ren Woxing's skill level could be somewhat estimated to be slightly superior to Fang Zheng Chong Xu's, Dongfang Bubai had not appeared for many years.
The Mount Hua Sect has built its great reputation on the back of just a few people, and countless people in the martial arts world want to become its disciples.
But at this moment, Yue Buqun put on his airs again.
Even when the Mount Hua Sect was in decline, it refused to accept mediocre members. Now that it has prospered, Yue Buqun has the opportunity to choose from all the world's talents, and naturally, he would rather have none than accept inferior ones.
On the way back to Huayin from Hengyang, I saw countless people seeking an audience.
He waited by the roadside with his children and nephews.
Yue Buqun felt that his hands were calloused from touching bones so many times.
I touched at least several hundred pieces along the way.
The exact number of people was not counted, and it's hard to say whether it reached a thousand.
However, Yue Buqun still did not accept any more money.
In total, six junior brothers were rescued for Ji Boying, two of whom were found in the homes of farmers in the villages they passed through.
As for Ning Zhongze, besides picking up two homeless girls from two mountain villages that had been ravaged by bandits, he also followed a clever little girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.
It was Qu Yang's granddaughter Qu Feiyan.
Yue Buqun was initially somewhat hesitant.
However, Ji Boying felt that the Mount Hua Sect was really lacking in clever people, and this little girl was thirteen or fourteen years old but as tall as fifteen or sixteen.
He has never joined Demonic Cult, nor has he ever done anything immoral or heinous.
He has a solid foundation in martial arts and is also very talented.
She then tried to persuade Yue Buqun to accept her as a concubine.
Ji Boying racked his brains for reasons to persuade the stubborn Yue Buqun, but none of them worked. He only said one sentence, "Master, please accept her, she..."
"Okay, I'll take it."
Before he could even state his reason, Yue Buqun readily agreed.
This naturally earned Ning Zhongze another eye roll.
A girl as delicate and clever as her naturally wins Ning Zhongze's heart the most.
This little girl is tall, and she looks almost like Yue Lingshan's sister.
Ning Zhongze held her small hand and talked for a long time about wanting to take her as her disciple, but Yue Buqun just stroked his beard, looking thoughtful and hesitant, and refused to agree.
Well, as soon as Ji Boying opened his mouth, without even giving a reason, Yue Buqun agreed.
This really earned Ning Zhongze a roll of her eyes.
And so, everyone on Mount Hua returned to Mount Hua in high spirits.
With this connection to the Mount Hua Sect, Fuwei Escort Agency's business flourished.
They quickly expanded their escort agency to Shanxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan-Shu, Yunnan-Guizhou.
They immediately divided the profits of these escort agencies, drew up contracts, and sent them to Mount Hua.
Meanwhile, Lord Zhang and his group, both openly and secretly, gave Fuwei Escort Agency some conveniences out of respect for Ji Boying.
Liu Zhengfeng also held the title of a Brigadier General, which gave him considerable prestige in official circles.
Having received a great favor from the Mount Hua Sect, he naturally became more accommodating to Mount Hua business dealings and developed a much closer relationship with the Fuwei Escort Agency.
Such favors did not result in anyone losing out. Officials supported the business of Fuwei Escort Agency, and Fuwei Escort Agency would naturally spend enough money to bribe them in return. Everyone was happy.
Liu Zhengfeng said he had retired from the Washing Hands in a Golden Basin and entered officialdom.
Every day, he would play the flute and zither with an unknown old man.
However, because of his influence, Mount Heng, Hengshan and Mount Tai always received a lot of convenience, and the local government also gave him a lot of face.
And finally, they returned to Mount Hua.
Ji Boying picked up a long sword, bid farewell to his master, Mistress, and fellow disciples.
With a few leaps, he disappeared among the peaks of Mount Hua, heading towards the Cliff of Contemplation.
