Chapter 49 contains both good and bad news.
Master Dingyi's words made Yue Yuan frown.
But Yilin patted his hand, "You have important things to do next. My cultivation is too low to help you much. I'll stay on the mountain so you won't be distracted."
"Can......"
Yilin covered his mouth, "Listen to me, I'll wait for you in Hengshan. When you're done with your work, come find me at the Hanging Temple. I'll also work hard to practice the sword technique you gave me and wait for your return."
Having said all that, Yue Yuan had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Then you wait for me on the mountain. I'll come find you when I'm done with my work."
"Um!"
Although Yue Yuan was reluctant, he still led his men down the mountain.
Yilin stood at the mountain gate, smiling as she watched the departing figure, her hands clasped together in prayer for Yue Yuan.
Abbess Dingyi appeared behind her without her noticing.
"What a tragedy!"
Upon hearing her master's voice, Yilin quickly turned around and bowed, "Master!"
"Why don't you go down the mountain with him? If you do, he'll definitely take you with him."
Yilin smiled and said, "No, he has his ambitions, and I cannot become his weakness."
Moreover, he had his junior sister, Yue Lingshan, and he had promised her that he would never have anything to do with Yue Yuan again, but he had broken his promise...
Seeing her like this, Dingyi sighed and said, "From now on, you can cultivate at the Hanging Temple. Anyway, the Buddhist hall has been destroyed."
Yilin lowered her head and didn't dare to reply.
On the other side, Yue Yuan was leading a group of people down the mountain when Monk Bujie appeared before them with several strangely dressed martial arts figures.
Seeing this, everyone placed their hands on their swords, waiting for Yue Yuan's command to launch their attack.
However, Yue Yuan thought that since Monk Bujie was Yilin's biological father and also his future father-in-law, he should treat him with courtesy first and then resort to force.
He stepped forward with a smile, cupped his hands in a respectful greeting to the monk Bujie, and said, "Master Bujie."
"Hmph, don't call me. Yilin protected you on the mountain. Let's see who can protect you this time."
Upon hearing this, Liang Fa and the others immediately drew their swords and aimed them at Monk Bujie.
Yue Yuan first reached out to stop Liang Fa, then continued to say to Bu Jie, "Master, Yi Lin and I are in love. You are Yi Lin's biological father, so you are my father-in-law..."
"Who is your father-in-law? Don't try to claim kinship with me. Today I will get rid of you so that Yilin will give up on you."
Liang Fa roared in anger, "You think you can get rid of us with just a few ugly and worthless people? You're delusional!"
Monk Bujie clapped his hands, took two steps back, and revealed the four strangely shaped people.
One of the leaders walked up to Yue Yuan and asked, "Is it you who killed our disciples, the Six Immortals of Peach Valley?"
Yue Yuan smirked, took out his sword, and slashed at the Yellow River Demon, the sword piercing right through its chest.
The Yellow River Demon stared wide-eyed, its face filled with disbelief.
"Hmph, I'm patient with my father-in-law only because he's my woman's father. Who do you people think you are, daring to block my way?"
After saying that, he kicked the dried corpse on the sword several feet away.
He raised his sword at the other three ghosts, "Your eldest brother is dead, so you can all die too!"
Man and sword became one, transforming into a red light that flashed past the three bodies. Three heads flew into the sky, and three corpses fell heavily to the ground.
The monk Bujie stood there dumbfounded, trembling as he asked, "What...what kind of sword technique is this?"
"Sword One." Yue Yuan sheathed his sword, looked away from Monk Bujie, and walked straight down the mountain.
Seeing this, Liang Fa and the others also put away their swords and followed Yue Yuan down the mountain.
Taiyuan City.
Tongfu Inn.
Liang Fa knocked on Yue Yuan's door with a note in his hand.
"Enter!"
"Young Master, something terrible has happened! Master Tianmen of the Taishan Sect has been killed, and Yu Jizi has taken over. Master's wife and Junior Sister have returned empty-handed."
What?
They reacted very quickly, but unexpectedly they still didn't get there before Songshan.
Yue Yuan thought for a moment and quickly made a decision.
"Third Senior Brother, you take some men to meet Master's wife and Junior Sister. I'm afraid the people of Songshan are so ruthless that they might attack them on the way."
"Young Master, you..."
"I have my own business to attend to. I need to go to the Central Plains to find someone. You can lead the team without any problem. Have confidence in yourself. Besides, I've killed almost all of the Thirteen Protectors of Songshan. Surely it wasn't Zuo Lengchan who did it himself!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Fa felt reassured.
"By the way, what's the situation at Mount Heng in Nanyue? Has Linghu Chong written to us?"
"No, Nanyue is farther away than here, and we haven't received any news yet."
"No news is good news. Forget about Mount Heng in the south. Take your men and set off immediately to meet your master's wife. I'll figure something out over there."
Liang Fa then accepted the order and set off.
Yue Yuan thought for a moment, then sent a letter to Qingcheng Mountain by carrier pigeon, ordering Yu Renyan to go to the Central Plains and Liu Zhengfeng to return to Hengshan in the south to take charge.
Hengshan cannot afford to lose now. Linghu Chong is an outsider, and Liu Jing is not enough to support Hengshan. We need a strong person to step in.
Now that Liu Zhengfeng has mastered his swordsmanship, it's time for him to come out and take revenge.
Having done all this, he set off for the Central Plains.
The Three Corpse Brain God Pill in my brain must be removed, otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble when the Double Ninth Festival comes.
Meanwhile, Linghu Chong, whom Yue Yuan had been longing to see, had just arrived at the Hengshan Sect.
Although the Hengshan Sect still had its gates at this time, the disciples had long since left or scattered, leaving only a handful of people in the entire sect.
When Linghu Chong arrived, Master Mo was sitting in the training ground playing his erhu, the sound of which was as desolate as that of the Hengshan Sect.
"Linghu Chong pays his respects to Master Mo." Linghu Chong stepped forward and bowed.
However, the Liu family members standing behind him did not react at all, especially Madam Liu, who directly led her son to the backyard, as if Mo Da did not exist.
Mo sighed and slowly stopped what he was doing.
"Linghu Chong, Liu Jing, now that you've already left, why are you going back to Hengshan?"
Linghu Chong was about to speak when Liu Jing spoke first.
"Senior Uncle, although you are the sect leader, Hengshan is the Hengshan passed down from our ancestor. I am also a member of Hengshan. Hengshan does not belong to you alone."
"Alas, what a tragedy!"
He got up shakily, picked up his erhu, and went out the door, disappearing without a trace.
"Junior sister, Uncle Mo, he..."
"Hmph, ignore him. He's never really been involved with the Hengshan Sect anyway."
She stood on the high platform and called over the disciples who were waiting nearby.
"Waiter, notify all disciples to return to Hengshan. My father is not dead and will return in a while."
The waiter was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly dropped the broom in his hand, rushing outside.
Linghu Chong asked, puzzled, "Is Uncle Liu really not dead?"
Liu Jing nodded. "Not only did he not die, but he's also doing very well."
She said this with her teeth clenched so tightly that it was almost a sound squeezed out of her throat.
She hated Mo Da, and she hated Liu Zhengfeng even more.
In order to get involved with Qu Yang, he abandoned his wife and children, disregarding the lives of his entire family.
Since he loves music so much, why doesn't he just go out and perform on the streets? Instead, he gets married and has children, and then doesn't care whether they live or die.
Could it be that, as Yue Yuan said, the marriage was only for the purpose of continuing the family line?
Seeing that she looked unwell, Linghu Chong didn't know how to comfort her. He could only find a stone bench to sit down, take out his wine bag, and savor the monkey wine he had taken from Yue Yuan.
This wine is only found in heaven; it is a rare treat to be tasted on earth.
Just as he was enjoying his drink, Deng Bagong, the Divine Whip of the Twelve Protectors of Songshan, led a group of Songshan disciples into the mountain gate and ran into Linghu Chong and his companion.
"Hahaha!" After a burst of wild laughter, Deng Bagong pointed his whip directly at Liu Jing, "You really have a way to heaven but you don't take it, and you barge into hell when there's no way out. I never thought you'd be in Hengshan."
Liu Jing sneered, "Hell, this is indeed hell, a place specifically for prisoners like you. Senior Brother, make your move."
