Yue Buqun returned to the mountain
Early the next morning, Shazo bid farewell to the two men and returned to the Mount Hua Sect Main Hall with Tian Boguang's body.
When Shazo dragged the corpse back to the Main Hall, he immediately disrupted the morning training in the martial arts training ground.
The mangled corpse terrified the disciples, who screamed in panic. Even the most experienced Lao Denuo, was at a loss for what to do.
Lao Denuo, Liang Fa, Shi Daizi, Gao Genming, Lu Dayou, the senior brothers, were at a loss and shocked by Shazo's ruthlessness and strength in killing, and dared not utter a word of rebuttal.
Although Yue Lingshan is usually arrogant, she goes completely blank when faced with a major event. When she sees a bloody corpse, her calves tremble uncontrollably, and she is unable to offer any opinions.
As for his junior brothers, Tao Jun the eighth brother) and Ying Bailuo the ninth brother), they no longer dare to look Shazo in the eye.
As for the younger Shu Qi and Lin Pingzhi, they were even less able to speak.
Shazo suggested, "If you fellow disciples can't solve this problem, then first use lime to preserve the corpse and hang it up, waiting for Master and Mistress to return and handle it."
"Those two won't be fooled for long; they'll be back soon."
Everyone accepted Shazo's suggestion, letting him hang Tian Boguang inside the Main Hall's Main Gate, covering him with an old Bedsheet, waiting for the sect leader and his wife to return.
Yue Buqun was able to single-handedly shoulder the reputation of Mount Hua and carve out a place for himself in the treacherous world of martial arts, proving that his strength and intelligence were both highly reliable.
However, Tian Boguang's elaborate trap and the Silk he left behind were so realistic that they left Gentleman Sword completely bewildered for a long time.
However, after 13 days, Yue Buqun saw through Tian Boguang's scheme and hurriedly returned to Mount Hua on the 15th day.
Upon arriving at the foot of Mount Hua, Yue Buqun and Ning Zezhong were filled with apprehension, wondering the extent of their sect's losses due to Tian Boguang's Sneak Attack.
Ning Zezhong was even more worried about his disciples and his daughter Yue Lingshan. These were all beautiful young women, exactly the kind of prey Tian Boguang loved to hunt. What if...?
Ning Zezhong dared not think any further and desperately quickened his pace until he returned to the foot of Mount Hua Mountain Gate. Seeing the crowds coming and going as always, he finally felt relieved.
Ning Zezhong was overjoyed but also surprised. "Senior brother, could it be that Tian Boguang didn't come to Sneak Attack our Mount Hua?"
"That's impossible. He went to great lengths to plan and create so many illusions to lure us out of Mount Hua and make us travel back and forth in Shaanxi for more than ten days. He couldn't have just been playing around with us, could he?"
Yue Buqun, now regaining his usual composure, replied with a smile, "Lone Traveler of Ten Thousand Miles Tian Boguang 'Lone Wanderer,' has roamed the martial world for so many years without being hunted down by righteous forces; he must possess considerable skill."
"Junior sister, let's go home first."
The leader and his wife of the Mount Hua Sect were chatting and laughing as they walked slowly. However, as they approached the Mount Hua Sect's Main Hall, they both smelled a faint stench of corpses in the Liao Kong, and their hearts jumped again.
Yue Buqun disregarded all decorum and immediately used his movement technique to take three steps through the Main Gate, where he saw his fifth disciple Gao Genming, guarding the entrance.
He asked solemnly, "Genming, is everything alright within the sect?"
When Gao Genming saw Yue Buqun, he burst into tears like a lost child seeing his father, crying out, "Master! You're finally back!"
"Aaaaaah--, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened at home!!"
Yue Buqun was terrified. He grabbed Gao Genming by the neck and shouted, "What happened? Who in the family is dead?"
Gao Genming, instead of being frightened by Yue Buqun, stopped crying and replied blankly, "No one in the family died. It was just that Tian Boguang came, and then he died."
Yue Buqun: "..."
Ning Zezhong: "..."
The couple were relieved to hear that no one in their family had died, but when they heard that Tian Boguang had arrived, their hearts leaped into their throats. Finally, when they heard the words "he is dead," they were momentarily unable to comprehend who had actually died.
Yue Buqun, being the sect leader, reacted the fastest, inquired about the details from Gao Genming, and found Tian Boguang's body.
Although the body had been hanging for more than ten days, and even with lime, it had dried out and rotted, it was still vaguely recognizable as Tian Boguang.
Yue Buqun and Ning Zezhong exchanged a glance, both shocked and overjoyed.
Ning Zezhong sighed, "I only found out Shazo was a genius before I came down the mountain. In the blink of an eye, he even killed Tian Boguang. It's unbelievable."
Yue Buqun was extremely excited at this moment, and an unprecedented happiness welled up in his heart. He tried his best to hold back his tears.
Only one voice cried out in his heart: The Mount Hua Sect's revival is finally in sight!
After a long while, Yue Buqun sighed and said, "It turns out I had a problem with my judgment; I didn't discover Shazo's talent for five whole years."
"I had clearly noticed something unusual before I went down the mountain, but I arrogantly overlooked too many details, assuming it was just another genius like Linghu Chong."
"Hehe, it seems like a blessing in disguise, as it inadvertently preserved the foundation of the Mount Hua Sect."
He straightened up and ordered, "Genming, have all the disciples gather in the Main Hall; I need to ask them something."
Gao Genming loudly accepted the order and rushed to the Back Mountain, where he struck the chime to summon his disciples.
A moment later, Yue Buqun sat down in the Righteous Qi Hall, with Ning Zezhong sitting beside him. All the disciples of the Mount Hua Sect arrived and stood in their assigned positions on both sides of the Main Hall.
Shazo was summoned by Yue Buqun and carefully questioned about how he discovered Tian Boguang.
Shazo made no secrets, recounting the entire process of discovering Tian Boguang spying on the Mountain Gate, then tailing, blocking, and killing Tian Boguang.
Everyone in the Mount Hua Sect felt as if they were in a dream.
Tian Boguang is the most notorious Evil Person in recent years. Countless righteous people in the Martial World want to kill him in order to gain both fame and fortune.
But this guy's Qinggong is unparalleled in the Martial World, and his Fast Blade is equally unmatched.
So Righteous Sects organized Pursuit of Tian Boguang, but he repeatedly broke through their encirclements and escaped easily, even turning the tables and slaughtering the righteous people.
If it weren't for the fear of Tian Boguang's infamous reputation, Yue Buqun wouldn't have traveled with his wife, leaving the Mountain Gate undefended and vulnerable to Tian Boguang's attack.
Who would have thought that Shazo, whom no one really knew, could kill him so easily, like slaughtering a chicken in the kitchen.
Shazo explained, "It's not that Tian Boguang is easy to kill, but rather that I took advantage of the unique environment of the Siguo Cliff to restrict Tian Boguang's Qinggong, forcing him to fight me head-on."
"On the narrow Mountain Path, I was able to fully utilize my True Qi and Swordsmanship, which is why I was able to easily kill Tian Boguang."
Oh, I see... what a load of rubbish.
Linghu Chong, the Eldest Senior Brother of the Mount Hua Sect, also used numerous schemes to successfully limit Tian Boguang's Qinggong in order to rescue his junior sister Yi Lin from the Mount Heng Sect.
But in the end, Linghu Chong was seriously injured and on the verge of death, while Tian Boguang escaped unscathed.
