Tian Boguang: "???"
It's outrageous that a robbery would target a lecherous thief.
What are you trying to steal? Your tools for the crime?
Tian Boguang laughed in anger, his gaze towards Xu Long filled with murderous intent.
An ordinary person might actually be scared by him, but Xu Long is no ordinary person.
If I can't find it, I won't bother looking for it; since I've already encountered it, I might as well just die.
Heaven and Earth One Sword!
A dazzling sword light spanned dozens of meters, tearing through the air.
"Court death!"
Upon seeing Xu Long attack, Tian Boguang was immediately enraged.
The longsword was drawn and slashed fiercely at Xu Long's sword light.
laugh!
The sword flashed, directly shattering Tian Boguang's attack and severing his arm.
The excruciating pain filled Tian Boguang with extreme horror.
He couldn't believe that a complete stranger could be so vicious.
puff!
White goes in, red comes out; this infamous flower thief finally died.
[Defeat Tian Boguang! Obtain the treasure chest - Tian Boguang!]
This guy is on the same level as Mu Gaofeng and Yu Canghai, at the Early Innate, and can be killed with ease.
Upon opening the treasure chest, besides four Low-Grade Spirit Stone, there was a secret manual.
" The Fast Saber " uses speed to overcome slowness, relentlessly pressing forward.
This was Tian Boguang's signature skill, and also the capital that enabled him to roam the martial arts world freely.
Unfortunately, the surname has now been changed to Xu.
"Thank you so much for saving me, senior!"
Still reeling from the shock of being chased by the flower thief, Yilin witnessed Tian Boguang being stabbed to death with a sword.
"Go find your master quickly. This place is full of all sorts of dangerous people; it's too dangerous for you."
Xu Long waved his hand, signaling Yilin to leave quickly.
Yilin is very beautiful, and her delicate and fragile temperament is also very attractive.
But Xu Long isn't a womanizer who sleeps with every woman he meets; he's a very principled and principled person.
Furthermore, Weak Water stays by her side, and can transform into whatever form she desires.
After seeing Yilin off, Xu Long quickly arrived at the Mount Heng Sect.
Liu Zhengfeng's "Golden Basin Retirement Ceremony" involved the entire martial arts world. Apart from the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects, other forces, large and small, also sent people to attend.
Abbess Jingyi of the Mount Heng Sect and Daoist Tianmen of the Mount Tai Sect both came with their disciples, while Xu Long from the Mount Hua Sect came alone.
"Uncle Liu!"
Upon seeing Liu Zhengfeng, Xu Long bowed respectfully.
"I didn't expect it would be my nephew who came in place of Sect Leader Yue. It seems that you will soon be in charge of the Mount Hua Sect."
Liu Zhengfeng's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile.
"Uncle-Master is too kind. My master is in his prime, and my fellow disciples are all working hard and striving for excellence. How could it be my turn?"
Xu Long smiled modestly.
"As expected of the successor of the Gentleman Sword, you truly possess the demeanor of a gentleman. Come and sit down!"
The Qingcheng Sect was wiped out, and Mu Gaofeng and Tian Boguang were also killed. Xu Long is now clean and innocent, without any of the messy things that happened.
The ceremony to wash one's hands of worldly affairs began smoothly, with representatives from all the various sects arriving.
"Huh? Where's the Qingcheng Sect? Why is there no one here?"
Liu Zhengfeng looked around but couldn't find any trace of the Qingcheng Sect.
"They were probably delayed by something on the way!"
The group looked at each other, none of them able to give a clear answer.
squeak!
A clear whistle rang out from the sky, and Liu Zhengfeng leaped up and caught the carrier pigeon.
"This..."
Untying the note tied to the carrier pigeon's leg, Liu Zhengfeng couldn't help but frown.
"Senior Brother Liu, what happened? Could it be that something happened to the Qingcheng Sect?"
Abbess Jingyi couldn't help but ask.
"See for yourselves."
Liu Zhengfeng handed the note to Abbess Jingyi, who was immediately thrown into a panic after reading it.
" The Qingcheng Sect was wiped out?"
"What? The Qingcheng Sect has been wiped out?"
The once quiet scene instantly became noisy, and everyone's expressions were solemn, their thoughts unknown.
Although the Qingcheng Sect is not as powerful as the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects, it is still considered a top-tier sect among Second-rate forces.
Yet this sect, with a Innate talent at its helm, was quietly wiped out.
"Could it be Demon Cult?"
Someone suddenly spoke up.
"Not necessarily. Although the Qingcheng Sect has some strength, it poses no threat to the Demon Cult Sect. Besides, the Demon Cult is far away from the Qingcheng Sect Qingcheng Sect; they would be crazy to go to such lengths to destroy it."
The crowd discussed it amongst themselves, but no one could come to a conclusion.
"We'll discuss the Qingcheng Sect matter later. Today is my, Liu's, retirement ceremony."
As soon as Liu Zhengfeng spoke, the room fell silent again.
"From this day forward, I, Liu, will not utter a single word about the grudges of the martial world or the disputes between sects. If I break this vow, may my sword be wielded like this."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zhengfeng took the longsword handed to him by his disciple and broke it into pieces.
The so-called "washing hands of the martial arts world" ceremony is, to put it bluntly, just a way for fellow martial arts practitioners to witness the event.
Once you retire from the underworld, you're completely out of the game.
Whether you follow the righteous path or the evil path, you must not cause him any more trouble, otherwise you will be looked down upon by all the martial arts masters in the world.
After breaking the sword, Liu Zhengfeng walked to the golden basin, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to wash his hands.
But just then, a loud shout came from outside the door.
"Wait!"
Everyone looked up and discovered that it was Fei Bin, the third of the Thirteen Grand Protectors of the Mount Song Sect, known as the Great Songyang Hand.
Holding the command flag of the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance Leader in his hand, his face full of arrogance, he said, "Senior Brother Liu, I am acting on the orders of the Left Alliance Leader of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects. I request that you temporarily postpone your plan to retire from the martial arts world."
"What is the alliance leader's intention? He's even brought out the command flag?"
Liu Zhengfeng asked with an unfriendly expression.
"I was merely following orders and had no idea of Alliance Leader Zuo's intentions. I beg Senior Brother Liu for forgiveness."
"Back then, the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects formed an alliance, agreeing to cooperate in offense and defense and uphold justice in the martial world. If anything happens that involves the five sects, we should obey the orders of the Alliance Leader. This command flag was also made jointly by the five sects, and seeing the flag is like seeing the Alliance Leader. However, I, Liu, am retiring from the martial world today, which is purely a personal matter. It has neither violated the code of the martial world nor has it been related to the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects, so naturally I do not need to be bound by the Alliance Leader's command flag."
Liu Zhengfeng bowed to Fei Bin and said, "Please tell Alliance Leader Zuo that I, Liu, have disobeyed orders. Please forgive me, Alliance Leader."
Liu Zhengfeng spoke with force and conviction, showing no regard for Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance.
Indeed, Zuo Lengchan's rise to the position of leader of the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance was not due to his qualifications, but purely due to good luck.
When the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects formed an alliance, Ren Woxing, the leader of the Demon Cult Sect, attacked. Everyone else was defeated, but Zuo Lengchan and Ren Woxing remained locked in a stalemate.
Although his skills were very profound, he was far inferior to Ren Woxing.
The reason for this was simply that Ren Woxing was seriously injured, and his Icy Internal Force just happened to worsen Ren Woxing's injuries.
"Alliance Leader Zuo repeatedly urged that Senior Brother Liu must postpone his retirement from martial arts. The Alliance Leader said that the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects are of one mind and are like brothers. He issued the order to preserve the friendship among the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects, to uphold the righteousness of the martial arts world, and most importantly, for the good of Senior Brother Liu."
