Yue Buqun's Secret Booklet
The three members of the Sword Sect have wandered the martial world for 30 years, honing not only their martial arts skills but also their eloquence and platitudes.
Once they were completely convinced, all they could say were flattering words, spoken with remarkable fluency.
Although there's a lot to say, it all boils down to one point:
Yes, yes, Senior Brother Sect Leader is absolutely right!
After this incident, the Mount Hua Sect gained two and a half more experts. In addition, with the addition of disciples Linghu Chong and Shazo, the overall strength of the sect not only did not decline, but actually increased by more than two times.
These two men, who are half-"Bu" generation, should not be underestimated. They are both experts who can go toe-to-toe with Yue Buqun and are enough to roam freely in the prefecture.
Life is tough for a lone expert wandering the country.
However, as masters of the Mount Hua Sect, combined with the Mount Hua Sect's power, each person, along with seven or eight disciples and dozens of thugs from external escort agencies and martial arts schools, could reliably amass a large amount of wealth from the prefecture and local areas.
With just two more readily available experts, the Mount Hua Sect was able to completely control the four surrounding prefectures and establish a complete sphere of influence, no longer the sect that could barely protect itself.
However, the most significant improvement in the Mount Hua Sect's strength came from Linghu Chong and Shazo. These young and promising masters are the sect's greatest safety net.
After Zuo Lengchan gained fame in his battle against the Demonic Cult, he was able to patiently teach his junior disciples.
He no longer worried about the encroachment of the neighboring Shaolin Sect; on the contrary, Shaolin Temple would even take the initiative to help the Mount Song Sect.
Because young, highly skilled individuals with families and careers are controllable, while those without families are Nightmare.
After the banquet, Yue Buqun Feng Buping to hand over Tian Boguang's body to the authorities, so as to further enhance the prestige of the Mount Hua Sect.
Powerful figures from within a 500-mile radius of Mount Hua flocked to pay their respects, expressing their admiration for the Mount Hua Sect and their unwavering commitment to following its Mount Hua Sect without question.
As for those forces that occupied the Mount Hua Sect's properties, they came to apologize with utmost trepidation, expressing that they had no covetous intentions whatsoever.
For the past 30 years, I had no choice but to look after the assets of the weakened Mount Hua Sect. Now that the Mount Hua Sect has risen again, it is only natural that I should return the assets to their rightful owner.
Moreover, the profits earned over the past 30 years should also be returned to their rightful owners.
In just half a month, the Mount Hua Sect's warehouse was filled with gold and silver, Ning Zezhong's small wooden box was also stuffed with land deeds, house deeds, and shop contracts.
Linghu Chong was not injured internally and the Six Immortals of Peach Valley did not nearly tear Ning Zezhong apart, the Mount Hua Sect naturally had no sense of crisis and wanted the entire sect to leave to avoid disaster.
As for Yue Lingshan stealing the Purple Haze Divine Skill, Lu Dayou being killed while protecting the book, the attack on the Medicine King Temple by the men in black, and so on, these things will naturally not happen.
After learning about the cave within the cave on the Cliff of Contemplation, Yue Buqun personally went to examine the carvings on the cave walls. While marveling at them, he also felt immensely relieved.
He was like a survivor who had been groping in a dark cave for 30 years and finally saw the sunlight. After seeing Shazo, the ray of dawn, he also saw the ladder to climb out.
After descending from the Siguo Cliff, Yue Buqun became more composed and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the various tasks related to the revival of his sect.
He arranged for Feng Buping and his two fellow disciples to learn the lost Mount Hua Swordplay, which they then passed on to all the disciples of the sect, thus completely winning over the three of them.
He opened his Mountain Gate wide to select disciples, and in less than a month, the number of his personal disciples increased to 24, while the number of outer disciples surged to more than 300.
He met with the Huayin County, presented him with a large sum of money, recruited a large number of craftsmen and workers, and carried out large-scale construction on Mount Hua to rebuild the dilapidated buildings that had been abandoned for 30 years.
At this moment, Yue Buqun no longer cared about the Five Mountains Alliance, the Mount Song Sect, or the so-called "Bixie Sword Manual".
He even completely forgot about his own cultivation.
Yue Buqun's good mood lasted for a month and a half until Linghu Chong, the Mount Hua's First Disciple, left without saying goodbye and went down the mountain on his own, for reasons unknown.
Linghu Chong didn't even leave a single word, so the entire Mount Hua Sect didn't know why he left.
Upon learning of this, the excited Mount Hua Sect Leader was struck dumb, his face turning as black as the bottom of a pot.
That was the first time Shazo saw his composure completely crumble.
In front of hundreds of Mount Hua disciples, Yue Buqun roared, "You unfilial disciple!"
Even Master's wife Ning Zezhong had never seen Old Yue so angry before. She was so frightened that she was speechless and forgot to say a few words to defend Linghu Chong or comfort the sect leader.
Shazo carefully reviewed the plot and vaguely guessed that this matter was probably related to Little Master Yilin.
Shazo was not surprised at all by Linghu Chong's decision to leave without saying goodbye.
That's just how this guy is. All his respect is limited to his face and his thoughts. In reality, he's extremely willful and self-centered, and he never cares about the feelings of those close to him.
The better you treat Linghu Chong, the closer you are to him, the more likely you are to be ignored by Linghu Chong.
Yue Buqun spent half a month with a gloomy face.
When news spread throughout the Linghu Chong that Linghu Chong was associating with the Demonic Cult sect, Yue Buqun was furious.
He even went alone to the Siguo Cliff, crawled into an empty Cave Within a Cave, and cursed loudly for an hour.
Old Yue did this very discreetly; only Shazo knew about it within the entire Mount Hua Sect.
Two days ago, Shazo completed the coordination of mind and body, completely breaking through the limits of the Human Body and reaching the Heavenly Human Realm, thus sensing the invisible barrier of the world of low-level martial arts.
In this wondrous state, he developed a touch of the divine, and his five senses evolved to an incredible level of Heavenly Human Sensation, allowing him to completely control all movements within a radius of several miles around him.
This allowed Shazo to hear the slight noises from the Siguo Cliff from his dormitory at the foot of the mountain.
Old Yue had a very rich vocabulary of curses, which Shazo listened to with great interest.
He then discovered that the Four Books and Five Classics contained such a rich vocabulary of insults, such profound metaphors, and such vivid expressions.
Old Yue's 30 years of wearing the scholar's robes hadn't been in vain.
After Yue Buqun had completely vented his anger and regained his composure, Shazo asked him to go down the mountain and travel.
Yue Buqun nodded in agreement, saying, "Shazo, your skills are profound enough. It's time for you to go down the mountain and explore the world, broadening your horizons and gaining experience."
He returned to his bedroom, took out a notebook, and handed it to Shazo: "Disciple, I'm not worried about your martial arts skills, but the despicable methods used to harm people in the martial world are just as deadly."
Yue Buqun pointed to the nameless booklet and said earnestly, "This is my and your master's notebook. It records the various people we've encountered in our 30 years of wandering the martial world, as well as all sorts of cunning and treacherous methods."
"I know you have a photographic memory. Read this booklet here, then ask your master's wife for some travel expenses and go down the mountain."
After Yue Buqun finished speaking, he got up to leave. Before leaving, he hesitated slightly, but still emphasized, "Disciple, remember to keep the contents of this book a secret. Never divulge it."
Shazo naturally accepted the order respectfully.
