"Hmph! This is a one-time exception!"

With a cold snort, Wang Hao said nothing more. He drew a sword from Liu Zhengfeng's waist and unleashed a set of sword techniques. The long sword danced rapidly, and the sharp sword energy sparked countless starlight, like a sky full of stars.

This is one of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Techniques found on the Cliff of Contemplation in Mount Hua, a master-level sword technique that has been lost by the Hengshan Sword School.

Originally, this sword technique only had simple sword moves and no corresponding method for Fortune. However, Wang Hao thoroughly understood all the martial arts manuals in the forbidden area of the Mount Heng Sword Sect, including the insights and experiences of his predecessors.

One part of it is related to this sword technique, and with his current foundation, it is not difficult for him to complete it.

" The Myriad Stars Swordsmanship! This is definitely the Myriad Stars Swordsmanship!"

Seeing Wang Hao's swordsmanship, Liu Zhengfeng was so excited he could hardly contain himself.

Although only two incomplete moves of this Myriad Stars Swordsmanship have been lost within the sect, there are still many related records, and even some insights and experiences from our predecessors.

As the head disciple of the Mount Heng Sword Sect, he was naturally qualified to read the insights and experiences of his predecessors. He even once fantasized about inheriting their legacy and completing the lost sword techniques.

Unfortunately, he hasn't been able to complete even half a move over the years, which he regrets.

Although he couldn't complete these sword techniques, he still gained a deep understanding of them. After seeing Wang Hao perform this sword technique, he immediately recognized it as the long-lost Myriad Stars Swordsmanship of their Mount Heng Sword Sect.

And it seems that it's not just sword techniques, but also includes accompanying methods for Fortune.

This is a Grandmaster- level martial art that is even stronger than the Returning Wind, Falling Wild Goose Swordsmanship Technique!

"Clang!"

"This Myriad Stars Swordsmanship originally consisted only of simple sword moves, but I just finished adding a matching method for Fortune. Although it may differ slightly from the original, I believe its power will be considerable."

After completing a full set of the Myriad Stars Swordsmanship, Wang Hao casually tossed his longsword into the scabbard at Liu Zhengfeng's waist and uttered a casual remark.

However, this statement does sound a bit pretentious!

Hearing these arrogant words, Liu Zhengfeng's face twitched repeatedly.

What do you mean by "just finished it casually"?

I know you're a big shot, but there's no need to act so arrogantly!

It should be noted that this is a top-tier, Grandmaster -level martial art. Although it is originally the sword technique of their Mount Heng Sword Sect, with the relevant records and accompanying internal energy cultivation methods from the forbidden area, theoretically they could complete it according to the moves.

But the time it took was measured in years, yet this expert immediately filled in the gaps, and did it all in one go!

This made Liu Zhengfeng realize once again the gap between himself and Wang Hao, which was indeed much larger than he had imagined!

" Young Master Zhu, I, representing the Mount Heng Sword Sect, have accepted this deal. I will fully assist you in sweeping away all the major forces in Jiangnan."

Taking a deep breath, Liu Zhengfeng spoke solemnly, showing his utmost sincerity.

Since the bargaining chips Wang Hao mentioned were real, he naturally had no reason to refuse, even if it meant making the Mount Heng Sword Sect the public enemy of the entire Jiangnan martial arts world, he was determined to get his hands on those sword techniques.

Moreover, even if we are exposed, we can simply follow this Zhu guy and deal ruthlessly with those forces, crippling them completely so that they can't cause us trouble for a while.

Once the Mount Heng Sword Sect has fully digested the gains from their two transactions with this man surnamed Zhu, they will no longer need to fear those local bullies.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhengfeng's eyes flashed with a cold light, clearly indicating that he had decided to kill!

"Can you represent the Mount Heng Sword Sect?"

Raising an eyebrow, Wang Hao looked at Liu Zhengfeng in surprise.

If it were that old fellow Mo Da saying this, he might believe it, after all, Mo Da is the head of the Mount Heng Sword Sect. But Liu Zhengfeng is different.

Although this guy is Mo Da's junior brother, according to the information he has, the relationship between the two doesn't seem to be very harmonious.

Therefore, Wang Hao had some doubts about today's guarantee.

It's not that I doubt Liu Zhengfeng's determination, but rather that I doubt his ability.

"Young Master Zhu, you can rest assured. Our sect leader has entrusted me with the entire matter of assisting you, and I believe that even our sect leader wouldn't refuse the offer you've made in person."

Liu Zhengfeng spoke sincerely and confidently, and then took out a token from his pocket for Wang Hao to see.

What does this mean?

Wang Hao glanced at the token in Liu Zhengfeng's hand and raised an eyebrow again, not understanding what this guy meant.

Why are you showing Master Hao this worthless token out of the blue?

It's neither made of gold nor carved from jade, so what's so interesting about it?

"Ahem... This is the sect leader's token given to me by my senior brother, the sect leader. It can mobilize all the power of my Mount Heng Sword Sect."

Liu Zhengfeng was taken aback by Wang Hao's words, coughed lightly to explain, and felt extremely embarrassed.

He forgot that this sect leader's token only held authority within their Mount Heng Sword Sect; outsiders knew little about it, let alone a big shot like the one in front of him.

"That works!"

Wang Hao nodded slightly in realization, then thought for a moment and said, "Go and get some paper and pen. I will write down those sword techniques for you from memory right now."

He wasn't worried that giving Liu Zhengfeng payment in advance would prevent him from doing his best, because he had absolute power.

If Liu Zhengfeng dares to play any tricks, he will come back and wipe out the Mount Heng Sword Sect. He has been looking for an excuse to eliminate these potential enemies!

"I'll go right away!"

Liu Zhengfeng was overjoyed and immediately prepared to go out to fetch pen and ink. However, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly stopped and hesitated before saying, " Young Master Zhu, I have a senior martial uncle who is currently traveling abroad. He was involved in the events in the capital. I wonder if it would be possible for Martial Uncle Zhang to redeem himself through meritorious service in this operation?"

Although I really don't want to bring this up, I have to.

This is the weakest period for their Mount Heng Sword Sect. They have lost five Grandmaster- level experts at once, and every bit of strength they have left is extremely precious.

He didn't know if the guy in front of him had calmed down; if he still went after Martial Uncle Zhang, things would be bad.

Therefore, in order to protect this Grandmaster- level expert, he had to change the subject, and this was also the best opportunity.

Wang Hao remained silent, instead coldly staring at Liu Zhengfeng in front of him.

Although he didn't say anything, he put Mo Da pressure on Liu Zhengfeng, making him regret bringing it up, fearing that he might anger this person and bring trouble to the Mount Heng Sword Sect again.

"Can!"

After a long while, Liu Zhengfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief after Wang Hao calmly agreed. At this moment, his whole body was soaked in sweat, which showed how great the psychological pressure he had just suffered was.

After all, the big shot in front of us is just too strong!

"I, Liu, will go and fetch paper and pen for you, young master!"

Wiping the cold sweat from his brow, Liu Zhengfeng Earthly Dao a few words and then slipped out.

"What a courageous and clever person!"

Wang Hao's lips curled slightly; he seemed to have developed a certain appreciation for Liu Zhengfeng.

He could see through the other party's scheme, but he didn't care much about it.

Actually, his main reason for coming to the Mount Heng Sword Sect was to obtain martial arts manuals; revenge was secondary, or rather, incidental.

He had already done enough by killing the five Grandmaster- level experts from the Mount Heng Sword Sect. In fact, if Liu Zhengfeng hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have even noticed that there was still one survivor outside.

He wasn't particularly interested in that person, nor did he have the mood or time to hunt him down. However, since Liu Zhengfeng had said so, he didn't mind having another free laborer.

The reason they had remained silent for so long was to give Liu Zhengfeng a warning, so as to prevent him from plotting anything later.

Liu Zhengfeng was very efficient; he quickly found a complete set of writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Wang Hao was even more efficient, grabbing a brush and quickly sketching the Hengshan Sword Technique he had learned from the Thinking Cliff of Mount Hua.

Because it doesn't require written descriptions of the corresponding methods for circulating internal energy, only drawings are needed. Therefore, even though a brush isn't very practical, the sword techniques were drawn accurately and at a considerable speed.

A quarter of an hour later, all five sets of Mount Hengshan Swordsmanship were drawn. Liu Zhengfeng examined them one by one as if they were treasures, his face flushed with excitement.

Their Mount Heng Sword Sect has a promising future!

"I will head to the Beggars' Sect' Sect headquarters first. You should make arrangements as soon as possible!"

Without looking at Liu Zhengfeng's excited expression, Wang Hao casually said something and strode outside.

Coming to his senses, Liu Zhengfeng watched Wang Hao's rapidly departing figure with a complicated expression, unsure of what to say.

Indeed, Wang Hao killed his master and four others, severely damaging the Mount Heng Sword Sect and putting it at risk of annihilation. However, it was also this man who gave them the opportunity to revive and even surpass their former glory.

Putting aside the sword techniques they currently possess, the Divine Illumination Scripture alone was an immense opportunity.

You must know that it is an Innate skill, something that their Mount Heng Sword Sect has never possessed before, and it is the internal energy they desperately need.

This is extremely important to the Mount Heng Sword Sect!

Their gains far outweigh their losses!

"Master, should I seek revenge on this person?"

Looking up at the sky, Liu Zhengfeng felt lost.

He knew something about what happened in the capital back then, and naturally knew that their Mount Heng Sword Sect had greatly offended the Da Ming's royal family, and that it was a fight to the death.

After all, that was causing a huge scene in someone else's home, which was tantamount to slapping them in the face in public. If someone were to kill one of their people in their Mount Hengshan Sect, they would fight to the death with that person.

Therefore, it's fair to say that they were in the wrong first, and it's not wrong for others to come knocking on their door.

Although grudges cannot be calculated so simply, facing such an upright and honorable enemy, and such a powerful enemy who inspires despair, he really couldn't muster the will to seek revenge.

"Phew! Let Senior Brother Sect Leader worry about this!"

After a long while, Liu Zhengfeng finally came to his senses, let out a long breath, and also flashed away from the dilapidated courtyard where no one lived, and then rushed towards the Mount Heng Sword Sect.

The most important thing now is to get these sword techniques into the hands of our senior brother, the sect leader, so that he can immediately begin to complete them. Before that, there must be no mistakes, otherwise he will be the sinner of the entire Mount Heng Sword Sect!

Leaving aside Liu Zhengfeng's actions, Wang Hao left the town and went straight into the nearby forest. He quickly met up with Wangcai and hung the scroll of the secret manual, which was wrapped in several layers of oil paper and finally put in a large cowhide bag, on the other side of Wangcai's body.

He wasn't in a real hurry to Fortune Points, so he didn't plan to immediately send these manuals to his eldest daughter-in-law Dongfang Bai, in exchange for Fortune Points. Instead, he planned to sweep through the entire martial arts world of Jiangnan before packing them up and sending them away.

However, this time I recorded far too much, a huge scroll with a diameter of three feet and a height of six feet, which was very inconvenient to carry around, so I had to transfer it to Wangcai.

"Don't choke, no one's going to take it from you!"

Watching Wangcai wolf down his Wangcai like a starving ghost, Wang Hao tapped it on the head. The way it ate was so embarrassing that it made it seem like he had abused the guy.

As they were talking, Wangcai glanced warily at Wang Hao, then picked up a whole roasted cow and darted to the side to enjoy it slowly.

"..."

This scene left Wang Hao speechless. Too lazy to say anything more, he also started gnawing on the whole roasted lamb in front of him.

To avoid being caught off guard by the Mount Heng Sword Sect, he had not eaten the food they brought, nor had he even drunk a drop of water.

Fortunately, his innate ability expanded his stomach and intestines to a size of three cubic meters, allowing him to eat more in advance and store up supplies, which enabled him to survive.

However, half a month was already his limit. When he came down the mountain to the town, he found the only shop and asked them to prepare a large amount of meat.

Although the cooking skills weren't great, it was still enough to fill our stomachs.
