Feng Qingyang let out a long breath, barely calming down the ups and downs of his mind that was stimulated by Xu Yin.
"You are right. Between you and Linghu Chong, I prefer Linghu Chong because he is more like me when I was young.
If I hadn't seen you as the heir of the Sword Sect that day, I wouldn't have been able to teach you the swordsmanship!
In my heart, Linghu Chong is my direct descendant. So I felt happy that he learned faster than you that day."
Xu Yin didn't expect Feng Qingyang to admit it so frankly, and he frowned for a moment.
Then another sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"If I hadn't mastered the Dugu Nine Swords back then, with Linghu Chong's spirituality, then our sword sect would most likely not be able to defeat the qi sect. Is this what you want to see?"
Feng Qingyang said, casually sucking Yue Buqun's sword and holding it in his hand.
"Whether it is Sword Sect or Qi Sect, in the final analysis, they are all inherited from Huashan. To me, they are no longer that important.
For the rest of my life, I just hope that there will be someone I admire who can pass on my swordsmanship, and that person...can't be someone as ambitious and violent as you."
Xu Yin put away the water-avoiding sword, walked step by step to the heavy sword, and pulled it out.
"Haha, I almost doubt whether Linghu Chong is your illegitimate son!
In this case, there is nothing to say! Feng Qingyang, let me learn your Dugu Nine Swords!"
Even Dongfang Bubai didn't expect Xu Yin to have such a strong temperament. Faced with a generation of martial arts legend, he would directly challenge him if he disagreed!
"Wait a minute!"
Feng Buping stopped between the two of them, "Uncle Master, you said before that Ding Liaoluo from the Huashan faction could no longer kill each other, but what about now?"
"No, get out of the way!"
"If you want to touch my disciples, my uncle might as well kill all the descendants of my Sword Sect! Anyway, you betrayed me once twenty-five years ago, so why should you have any scruples!"
What happened twenty-five years ago was a scar in Feng Qingyang's heart. Today, it was repeatedly revealed, and he was already furious.
Everyone around looked at each other, and Mo Da whispered to Tianmen: "Senior Feng of the Huashan Sect, his actions are... too emotional."
Tianmen sneered in a low voice: "But he may not feel that he is wrong."
Feng Qingyang naturally heard it in his ears. Of course it was extremely harsh, and his face gradually darkened.
Feng Buping knew how powerful this uncle was, and thought that Xu Yin must have paid a price for his victory over Zuo Lengchan, so he immediately said: "Since uncle wants to be an enemy of my sword sect, it doesn't matter.
But now Xu Yin is a junior, and he has just fought a battle with human beings, and is weak in energy and strength. Will my uncle take advantage of others' danger and do despicable acts?"
Dongfang Bubai laughed loudly after hearing this, "Yes, it's eye-opening that Feng Qingyang, who was so powerful in the martial arts world decades ago, is actually such a thing."
Feng Qingyang turned around and said, "You are right. If I attack him now, I am indeed taking advantage of others' danger. Then I will come back to take your life in three months!"
Previously, he said that martial arts was abolished, but this time he wanted to take Xu Yin's life.
Xu Yin held his sword proudly and was not threatened. He was about to speak, but was stopped by Feng Buping.
"Three months is not enough, it will take at least one year!"
Feng Qingyang sneered and turned around, "Just give him a year to practice, how much do you think he can improve?"
Feng Buping looked at Xu Yin. He naturally saw that this disciple was high-spirited to fight, but he did not want him to fight against a strong enemy at this time. There was a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Xu Yin's heart softened, and he thought to himself: In his current state, there is no absolute certainty that he can win against Feng Qingyang.
If you give yourself a year to absorb and refine the practical experience in epee techniques and deepen your innate skills at the same time, the outcome may not be certain.
He looked at Feng Qingyang and said, "One year later, I will be waiting for you at the top of Mount Huashan."
This is a formal fight of equal status, not a cleansing of the family as Feng Qingyang said.
Feng Qingyang looked at the current situation. If he really wanted to take action, he was afraid that the entire Huashan Sect would come out to help that person. Besides, there was no telling how other people in the Wuyue Sword Sect would react.
Although his martial arts skills are high, he is very old and his energy is not as good as before. He is unable to cope with a long-term siege.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, let's make it one year from today!"
After saying that, Feng Qingyang threw away his sword and prepared to leave.
At this time, Feng Buping suddenly bowed from all sides and said loudly: "All my martial arts comrades are invited! As the leader of Huashan, Feng Mou has something to announce to all the heroes present today!
From now on, my Huashan senior, Feng Qingyang, is no longer a descendant of our sect! This person has selfish motives. In order to protect our abandoned disciple Linghu Chong, he turned his sword against the direct disciple of our sect. He is not worthy of being an elder!
Whatever Feng Qingyang does in the future has nothing to do with this sect, and all the heroes present can witness it!"
No one expected that Feng Buping would be so bold as to expel Feng Qingyang from the sect in public.
Even Fang Zheng Chongxu was stunned in place, speechless for a long time.
Dongfang Bubai was stunned for a moment, not expecting Feng Buping to be able to do such a thing, and then he laughed, "Feng Buping, you are worthy of being Brother Xu's master, you are really interesting!"
Xu Yin, like everyone else in the Huashan faction, looked at Feng Buping with wide eyes.
"Master, why do you do this?"
"If he harbors personal feelings and disregards the righteousness, he is not worthy of being our senior Huashan!"
Feng Buping stared at Feng Qingyang without taking a step back. Feng Qingyang had lived in seclusion for decades and never expected that he would encounter many blows just after he came back to the world.
Shen Sheng said to Feng Buping: "You, the leader of Huashan, have done a great job!"
After saying that, he turned around and left. His light skills seemed to be able to shrink the ground to an inch. In just ten steps, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Above and below the stone platform, there was no peace for a long time.
Only then did Xu Yin notice that Yue Buqun had quietly left at some point.
After a long silence, he walked to the middle of the high platform and said to the leaders of each faction: "Seniors, according to the agreement, I defeated Zuo Lengchan. Today, my Huashan faction will take on the responsibility of being the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance. Do you have any opinions?"
Mo Da was the first to come out. Although he, like the other two factions, wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to suppress Xu Yin first, at this moment Xu Yin's situation was already established.
Although the overall strength of the Huashan Sect is not strong, having a top-notch master like Xu Yin is enough to determine its status as a sect.
It only takes a few years to develop. Rather than letting him feel dissatisfied with the sect, it would be better to add icing on the cake and support it early.
"We, the Hengshan faction, support Mr. Xu in assuming the position of leader of the Five Mountains Alliance."
Taoist priest Tianmen only hesitated for a moment and then stood up to agree.
Hengshan Sanding looked at each other. They didn't like Xu Yin's bloody style. They felt that he was the second Zuo Lengchan and were reluctant to support him.
But now they can no longer help it...
Xu Yin only glanced at the surviving Ding Mian. As a lucky survivor of the Thirteen Taibao of Songshan, Ding Mian was already terrified of Xu Yin.
When Xu Yin looked at him like this, his whole body trembled. Since Zuo Lengchan died, the Songshan Sect had lost all power and could no longer be used.
If you don't want to die, you'd better be obedient now.
Therefore, as the default acting leader of the Songshan Sect, he could only endorse it postscript.
It is difficult for a single tree to stand alone on Mount Hengshan, the northern mountain, so we can only agree with the crowd.
Of course Xu Yin knew that these people were dissatisfied verbally and heartily, but it was only a matter of time before the Huashan Sect gained strength.
Of course, he learned Zuo Lengchan's lesson and would not merge the factions.
He also couldn't understand why Zuo Lengchan wanted to forcibly merge the sects. The five mountains were divided into different parties, and their faiths and inheritances were all different. How to merge? How to manage after the merger?
There are many difficulties and hidden dangers, and it takes a lot of energy to manage. If you are not careful, you will get backlash. It is not as good as the current situation, where each faction is autonomous, and if there is a problem, they follow the orders of the leader.
In order to calm the hearts of the various sects, Xu Yin said: "Since you all support the appointment of this alliance leader, I will definitely fulfill the responsibility of the alliance leader and protect our Five Mountains Sword Sect from being bullied by others!
The leader of this alliance can also promise never to merge factions, and each faction will be autonomous. When necessary, just follow the orders of the alliance leader!"
This promise is exactly what each faction wants. No matter what they think in their hearts, at least on the surface they truly surrender to Xu Yin.
