Chapter 58

Three days later, Mount Hua was filled with a festive atmosphere, with lanterns and decorations everywhere, as the inauguration ceremony for the new leader of the martial arts alliance was being held!

Two years ago, Yue Buqun secretly assassinated Mo Da and the three monks of Mount Heng, framing Zuo Lengchan!

This led to a fierce battle between Linghu Chong and Zuo Lengchan, in which Zuo Lengchan was defeated!

Later, at the Songshan Conference, Yue Buqun killed Zuo Lengchan on the spot and became the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

Later, Yue Buqun secretly rescued Ren Wuxing, making him compete for the position with Dongfang Bubai, which led to Linghu Chong being trapped in the West Lake dungeon, where he learned the吸星大法 (Absorbing Star Technique)!

Finally, he was rescued by Ren Yingying, and the two secretly fell in love!

After that, Yue Buqun secretly helped Ren Wuxing regain power. When Dongfang Bubai was killed by Ren Wuxing, Ren Yingying, Linghu Chong, and Xiang Wentian, Ren Wuxing revealed that Yue Buqun had helped him escape!

This was when Linghu Chong began to suspect Yue Buqun!

After Dongfang Bubai's death, Yue Buqun used his position to secretly attack and kill Chongxu Daozhang, framing Ren Wuxing!

The Shaolin and Wudang sects, being closely allied, could not sit idly by when such a major event occurred at Wudang, so they joined forces with the Sun Moon Sect for another major battle!

In the final moments, Fangzheng Dashi fought to the death against Ren Wuxing!

Yue Buqun secretly attacked and killed Fangzheng Dashi, framing Ren Wuxing, and then killed the exhausted Ren Wuxing, beheading him!

Because of these achievements, and with the three most respected figures in the righteous path dead, Yue Buqun was able to become the leader of the martial arts alliance!

After that, Fangsheng Dashi succeeded Fangzheng as the abbot of Shaolin, and Ren Yingying became the leader of the Sun Moon Sect!

However, Fangzheng Dashi's death was highly suspicious. Eventually, Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying found evidence, and Ning Zhongze also discovered some clues, leading to the recent battle!

Yue Buqun was recognized as the leader of the martial arts alliance on the day Ren Wuxing and Fangzheng Dashi died. Due to the heavy casualties and the need for recovery, the inauguration ceremony was postponed until today!

This inauguration as the leader of the martial arts alliance was not like when Yue Buqun became the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect; almost all the righteous sects in the martial arts world were present.

However, Yue Buqun had not appeared, causing speculation among the crowd!

At the auspicious moment, Ning Zhongze and Linghu Chong appeared together at the venue!

Ning Zhongze looked at the guests and said, "Thank you all for coming to this inauguration ceremony for my husband as the leader of the martial arts alliance!

However, my husband suffered severe internal injuries in the battle with Ren Wuxing and cannot see guests!

He has passed the leadership of the Huashan Sect and the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance to my disciple, Linghu Chong!"

This statement caused a stir in the crowd!

"Is Mr. Yue really in such bad condition?"

"Mr. Yue is the pillar of the righteous path. If he is gone, what will happen to the chaos caused by the Sun Moon Sect?"

"Truly a disaster! Not only did Fangzheng Dashi and Chongxu Daozhang pass away, but Mr. Yue has also come to this!"

The crowd was in an uproar. Originally, Ning Zhongze did not intend for Linghu Chong to become the leader of the martial arts alliance; she wanted Huashan to live a peaceful life. The position of the leader of the martial arts alliance was meaningless!

But because of Linghu Chong's relationship with Ren Yingying, if they could truly unite, there would be a period of peace in the martial arts world!

She was already tired of the conflicts in the martial arts world.

At this moment, someone from the Songshan Sect stood up. It was Zhong Zhen, the Nine-Curved Sword, one of the Thirteen Protectors. He was not originally an outstanding figure among the Thirteen Protectors, but most of them had died in the battles!

He was the tallest among the dwarfs and had become the leader of Songshan. He loudly said, "Mr. Yue's misfortune is indeed a regret for the martial arts world!

However, the internal affairs of the Huashan Sect can be decided by him, but why should he be able to designate the leader of the martial arts alliance!"

Fangsheng Dashi said, "Although Linghu Chong is young, he has inherited the legacy of Feng Lao and his martial arts are extraordinary!

More importantly, he is kind-hearted. I, Shaolin, support him as the leader of the martial arts alliance!"

The new leader of Wudang, Qingxu Daozhang, also said, "If Linghu Chong becomes the leader of the martial arts alliance, Wudang has no objections!"

Linghu Chong had a great reputation and notable achievements in the martial arts world, such as defeating Zuo Lengchan, killing Dongfang Bubai, and defeating Xiang Wentian!

His relationships with Shaolin and Wudang were also good, and they knew he was not ambitious like Yue Buqun, so they supported him as the leader!

Zhong Zhen coldly snorted, "What you said is true, but Linghu Chong has a suspicious relationship with the current leader of the Sun Moon Sect, Ren Yingying. How can such a person become the leader of the martial arts alliance!"

Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sect also opposed, while most other sects remained neutral!

Xiao Ran, hearing the arguments, was somewhat impatient. He stepped forward and said, "My senior brother and Miss Ren are in love and plan to marry.

If the righteous and evil paths unite through marriage, the martial arts world can enjoy at least twenty years of peace!"

It was better to say it sooner rather than later. Xiao Ran decided to help Linghu Chong and settle the matter quickly!

His words were like a thunderbolt. The martial arts world placed great importance on the distinction between righteousness and evil!

Zhong Zhen sneered, "What are you? How dare you speak so boldly.

Everyone, did you hear? Linghu Chong wants to marry the leader of the Sun Moon Sect. What does this mean for the righteous path?

Huashan's collusion with the Sun Moon Sect is a betrayal of the martial arts world!"

But Fangzheng Dashi relaxed his brows, "This is a great virtue!"

Qingxu Daozhang, though somewhat unhappy, still agreed with Fangzheng Dashi!

However, more people disagreed, as the deep-seated enmity between the righteous and evil paths had been formed over many years!

Xiao Ran ignored the opposition and said, "The conflict between the righteous and evil paths has a long history, and it is unclear how it started.

But this ideological conflict is meaningless.

Liu Zhengfeng was killed for befriending Qu Yang, and no one spoke up for him.

Yu Canghai, as the leader of the righteous path, destroyed the Fuyi Escort Agency, and no hero stood up for the Fuyi Escort Agency!

Is Liu Zhengfeng really a bad person who deserved to be wiped out?

Yu Canghai's actions are more ruthless and cruel than those of the Sun Moon Sect, yet he is still seen as a pillar of the righteous path. Does this make sense?

Is a person's judgment based on whether they are part of the righteous path or the evil path, not on what they do, but on their position and power?

However, this is also meaningless. In my view, the martial arts world does not care about reason, but about power and alliances.

As for alliances, Huashan is a branch of the Quanzhen Sect and the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, so we are part of the righteous path!

And if power is the basis for speaking, then...

My master passed the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance to my senior brother. If anyone disagrees, let's settle it with our fists!

I will take on all challenges on behalf of my senior brother!"

Xiao Ran had no fondness for this ideological conflict and wanted to help Linghu Chong, so he directly clarified the situation!

At this moment, Yu Canghai stood up and coldly snorted, "Power is the basis for reason. If Dongfang Bubai was the strongest, then he was the reason!

You, a second-generation disciple of Huashan, dare to be so arrogant. Does Huashan really think it is invincible?"

Xiao Ran looked around, taking in everyone's reactions, and then said to Yu Canghai, "You destroyed my senior brother Lin's family and are still alive today. You must have had some luck!

Since you dare to show your face, I will seek justice for my senior brother today!

But you alone are not enough!

Anyone who has objections to my senior brother becoming the leader of the martial arts alliance, come together!

I will save myself the trouble!"

(Tomorrow is my birthday, and I have a day off. I will go to bed early today to rest and prepare for three or four updates tomorrow!)
