No Wonder He Couldn't Say It-Sect Leader Yue Truly Considered the Bigger Picture
"What do you mean? Could it be that Sect Leader Yue didn't recognize you? Or did you notice something else?"
Dingyi and the other two were all very interested.
Their stance isn't entirely impartial either. Even though they reluctantly admitted that it wasn't the Demonic Cult that did it, they still hope that the blame will fall on the Demonic Cult.
Looking at Ji Boying, he seemed both aggrieved and bewildered, clearly upset because he had been wronged. He seemed convinced that the Sun Moon Demonic Sect was responsible for this.
"I called those people members of the Demonic Cult because their kung fu was too bizarre. It didn't look like the kung fu of righteous people like us! But Master disagreed, insisting that their kung fu was upright and honorable, unlike that of Demonic Cult. However, he wouldn't explain it clearly, and just scolded me. This must be a treacherous scheme by the Sun Moon Demonic Sect Cult. They must have used those bizarre methods to make me get scolded in front of Master. The Sun Moon Demonic Sect truly lives up to its Demonic Cult; they are ruthless and insidious!"
Ji Boying said with some indignation.
This really piqued Dingyi and Tiansong's curiosity.
It's really agonizing.
Even the ordinary Mount Tai Sect disciples sitting at the nearby tables were all leaning to the side, trying to hear everything clearly.
"Nephew, tell me quickly, tell me quickly, what kind of skill did they use?"
Daoist Tiansong urged him on.
Ji Boying looked slightly embarrassed.
"I haven't been on the mountain long enough to recognize the martial arts of our own Mount Hua Sect. I know nothing about the other sects. How could I possibly tell what kind of martial arts those other people are using?"
"I called them the Demonic Cult only because of their strange style. The palm techniques these people used were all heavy and powerful, with a hint of righteousness. Perhaps Master saw this and thought that the martial arts of the Demonic Cult sects might have been stolen by the Demonic Cult."
"Their palm techniques are upright and honorable, but their swordsmanship is dangerous and vicious, with a strange style. They can even make a thin iron sword seem like a tragic scene of yellow sand. Before I went up the mountain, the older generation had some connections with some of the young generals on the other side of the pass and had seen their martial arts on the battlefield."
"The swordsmanship used by those four men in black was clearly like that of a spearman. They wielded a thin iron sword like a long spear or halberd. Where in the martial arts world can you find such skill? That's why I said these people must be from the Demonic Cult."
Ji Boying lowered his voice and quietly leaned closer, adding some more mysterious assessments to Dingyi and the other two.
"Maybe it's not the Demonic Cult, maybe it's someone from the government. It's just that my master is afraid of getting into trouble, so he doesn't dare tell me."
Hearing Ji Boying say this, Dingyi and the other two had no reaction at all.
Three renowned martial arts masters sat at the table, their eyes wide with astonishment.
Hearing this, the three of them could hardly believe it.
I had my suspicions about Ji Boying, but Ji Boying was a young man who had not yet reached adulthood and was new to the world of martial arts. He was not familiar with the affairs of the martial arts world and should not have the ability to fabricate such a story.
In particular, Ji Boying had a good reputation and excellent character, which was evident to everyone.
Looking at Ji Boying, who was still angrily cursing the Demonic Cult and also suspicious of the government, he was clearly a simple young man.
Who would have thought that Ji Boying would have such good acting skills?
Dingyi and Tiansong are both straightforward and not good at observing details.
Ji Boying guided them step by step to this conclusion. Their guesses were all deductions they came up with themselves, so they naturally believed them even more.
The three martial arts masters looked at each other in bewilderment, their expressions clearly revealing their mutual surprise.
Upon further reflection, it becomes clear that only the Songshan Sect possesses the capability to dispatch four such experts.
Even if Ji Boying's knowledge of the Songshan Sect came from Yue Buqun, he shouldn't have known it with such precision.
Without spending a long time together and engaging in some physical combat, it's impossible to perceive the subtleties of such skills.
Just like Ji Boying misjudged the strength of the Mount Tai Sect, assuming that because they had many older members, they were strong. This is clearly another example.
The three of them felt a buzzing in their heads and their ears were throbbing, leaving them at a loss.
No wonder Yue Buqun didn't dare to explain things clearly to his disciple.
It's connected, everything is connected.
Among the major martial arts sects today, only Shaolin, Wudang, and Songshan Sect can produce four such masters at once.
Therefore, the leader of these four men in black is stronger than Yue Buqun, so there's no need to doubt anyone else; Zuo Lengchan fits the bill perfectly.
This matter, involving both the legitimate and illegitimate factions, was indeed not done by the Demonic Cult.
That makes the Songshan Sect the most likely suspect.
In addition, considering Ji Boying's description of the characteristics of the Songshan Sect's martial arts, the suspicions shifted from the Demonic Cult to the government, but clearly did not extend to the Songshan Sect itself.
The three remained silent for a long time, but the atmosphere was rather strange, and even the disciples of the Mount Tai Sect sensed that something was wrong.
Some senior disciples of the Mount Tai Sect, represented by Chi Baicheng, all had strange expressions on their faces.
They clearly already had their doubts.
"Then, since these four men in black haven't been found, what are your master's plans?"
Even the usually straightforward Tiansong became hesitant and stuttering when he spoke.
Dingyi and Tianbai also turned their gazes over, clearly wanting to know what Yue Buqun was thinking.
"My master didn't have a good plan either. Although those people came to steal the Bixie Sword Manual, they have made enemies of us. My master could only tell us to be careful, because they are too strong. If they really want to attack our Mount Hua Sect, it will be a big problem."
Dingyi and Tiansong exchanged another glance.
They did indeed harbor resentment towards Zuo Lengchan.
Where is the spirit of unity among the Five Great Mountains Sword Sects in this person's behavior?
Although trying to forcibly seize the Bixie Sword Manual is not something that righteous people should do.
But now that the Mount Hua Sect has stepped forward, it's time to stop.
This person still disregarded their status and wanted to take action. Dingyi and Tiansong dared not imagine that if Ji Boying had not been there, and it had been someone from another Mount Hua Sect, they would have been killed by Zuo Lengchan and his junior brothers long ago.
Even if it were a different Sect Leader Yue Buqun... or someone from their Hengshan Sect or Mount Tai Sect... or even themselves...
Thinking about this, who wouldn't feel a chill down their spine?
Dingyi and Tiansong both turned pale.
If the Alliance Leader Zuo truly harbors any ill intentions, it's likely that none of the other four factions could stop him...
Just as the two of them were feeling unsettled, they heard the old man's laughter coming from the corner again.
"Hehehehaha..."
Qu Yang was there, smiling, but there was a hint of irony and desolation in his smile...
"The righteous path? The Demonic Cult? Hahahaha..."
After saying that, he grabbed Qu Feiyan and lightly stepped on the window frame, then drifted away, his laughter still echoing in the street.
By this point, how could Abbess Dingyi not understand that this person was probably a member of the demonic path?
But both she and Tiansong, who were known for their strong sense of justice, were now filled with bitterness and confusion.
Even though the members of this Demonic Cult were mocking them, they remained dejected and unmoved.
