Chapter 88

Yue Fangxing heard the sound and instantly rejoiced. The person with the gun was startled; he sensed someone quickly approaching from behind and turned around to deliver a palm strike.

His reaction was quick, but he did not anticipate the strength of the person. The moment their palms touched, he was hit by a powerful force and was sent flying, landing far away, unable to move.

The person who appeared was none other than Yue Buqun. He and Qu Feiyun had arrived together. On their way, they heard the commotion and knew something had happened. Using his lightness skill, he hurried to the scene. With a long whistle, he struck the person with a palm, saving Yue Fangxing.

Soon, Qu Feiyun also arrived. Seeing the person on the ground, she felt a wave of fear and kicked him fiercely several times.

Yue Buqun saw Yue Fangxing lying on the ground and quickly helped him up to check his condition. Sensing his internal state, he immediately began to treat his injuries. His Purple Sun True Qi was highly effective in healing, and he could certainly treat Yue Fangxing.

Yue Fangxing had been injured three times, and his injuries were indeed severe. Even with Yue Buqun's deep martial arts skills, it took him a long time to stabilize Yue Fangxing's true qi, finally bringing him out of danger.

Yue Buqun slowly withdrew his true qi and sighed, truly not expecting his son to be so seriously injured, almost to the point of being killed. He was filled with hatred and anger, thinking that if the Hua Mountain disciples had not been held back, this would not have happened!

After being treated, Yue Fangxing had recovered somewhat and asked about the situation at Hua Mountain.

In fact, nothing had happened at Hua Mountain. Yue Buqun and the others had waited for a while, but when Yue Fangxing did not return, they were about to go and check. However, they were surrounded by Ji Wushi, Yellow River Old Ancestor, and others, who invited them to drink and eat. The Hua Mountain disciples disliked them and did not want to, but the Six Freaks of Peach Valley suddenly appeared and started eating and drinking. Yue Buqun wanted to leave with the others, but they were always blocked by these people.

Since the other side did not make a move, Yue Buqun could not confront them. Considering the strength of Hua Mountain, he had to endure. After a while, these people left. Yue Buqun was truly puzzled and, seeing that it was getting dark, had to arrange for the others to rest.

Qu Feiyun soon arrived. She recognized Yue Buqun and quietly led him out, informing him of Yue Fangxing's injuries. Yue Buqun was greatly alarmed and quickly arranged for Ning Zhongze to guard the disciples, then rushed over, just in time to save Yue Fangxing.

Learning that the Hua Mountain disciples were safe, Yue Fangxing felt relieved. He was afraid that Hua Mountain would also be attacked by those people, which would certainly result in many casualties.

Seeing that Yue Fangxing could move, Yue Buqun wanted to take him back, but Yue Fangxing stopped him, saying, "Father, I will stay here to recover!"

Yue Buqun instantly understood his concern and said, "You are worried about traitors in the sect?"

Yue Fangxing nodded and added, "My injuries will not heal quickly. Even if I stay with everyone, I will be a burden. It's better to separate for now."

Yue Buqun thought for a moment and nodded. Since Yue Fangxing could not fight, and he and Ning Zhongze could not always watch over him, any lapse could result in an incident like the one that happened to Linghu Chong. Moreover, in his current state, he might not even be healed by the time they reached Fujian, where the situation was even more unpredictable. It was better to stay here for now.

Yue Fangxing continued, "This time, I have been seriously injured, and Hua Mountain's strength has been reduced. We don't know if the Song Mountain Sect has any other plans. Father, it might be better to wait here. Perhaps the Heng Mountain Sect will pass by, and then the two sects can join forces, providing mutual support." Since Zuo Lengshan had sent a message to the Five Mountains to go to Fujian to compete for the "Evil-Exorcising Sword Manual," the other sects would naturally be involved. The Tai Mountain Sect, located in Shandong, was already heading south. The Heng Mountain Sect, located in Shanxi, was much farther away. Even if the Hua Mountain Sect had rested in Luoyang for a few days, they were still ahead. Moreover, the Heng Mountain Sect, consisting mostly of nuns and a few lay disciples, would attract attention, making it easier to track them. When the two sects joined forces, their strength would be greater, and they would have mutual support in case of an attack.

Yue Buqun nodded. The Heng Mountain Sect had not sent anyone to Hua Mountain during the sword and qi competition, indicating that they had no ill intentions. Temporarily joining forces with them was not impossible. He then helped Yue Fangxing with his injuries and hurriedly left to avoid being detected by any hidden traitors in the sect, which could expose Yue Fangxing's situation.

Yue Fangxing had Qu Feiyun search the person for several scrolls, then hastily packed up and left. After the fight, he was unsure if their location had been exposed, so it was better to hide for now.

In the following days, Yue Buqun told the other disciples that Yue Fangxing had gone to search for Linghu Chong, and they continued to search the surrounding area. Secretly, he instructed a few trusted disciples to gather information about the Heng Mountain Sect and to treat Yue Fangxing's injuries to help him recover faster.

After some time, a disciple indeed found information about the Heng Mountain Sect. They were moving slowly and had only reached Henan. Knowing that Yue Fangxing's internal injuries had stabilized, Yue Buqun led the disciples to meet them. The two sects joining forces greatly increased their strength, and they headed to Fujian together.

The news of Yue Fangxing's battle with a group of evil cultivators spread quickly. Although outsiders could not confirm how some of them died, the white bear was clearly killed by the Hua Mountain Sect's Jade-Breaking Fist. The news of the black bear being killed in the same manner also spread, and Yue Fangxing's reputation as the one who killed both bears became widely known. People in the martial world were discussing it, as the Northern Twin Bears had roamed for years, and it was surprising that they were killed by a young man.

After Yue Buqun left, Yue Fangxing and Qu Feiyun moved deeper into the forest. Over the past few days, he had learned that news of his battle had spread, and it was possible that someone might come to seek revenge or investigate, so it was better to stay hidden.

They moved and changed positions frequently. After some time, they stopped, not even knowing where they were. Yue Fangxing's injuries, treated with the Purple Sun Divine Skill, had improved significantly, and he could move without difficulty. However, his internal organs were still damaged and not fully recovered, and he was not ready to fight. Although he had seen some methods to speed up recovery in Ping Yizhi's medical notes, he lacked the conditions to use them.

Besides healing every day, Yue Fangxing spent a lot of time reflecting on the recent battles. He had practiced martial arts since childhood and had over ten years of experience. Although his skills were deep, he had rarely fought with top-notch experts and had not encountered any major dangers. The recent battles had deepened his understanding of his martial arts, making his techniques more proficient. He believed that after recovering, he would reach a new level.

The Soul-Transferring Technique had played a significant role in saving his life, but it also had significant limitations and risks. Therefore, Yue Fangxing had been thinking about using the Soul-Transferring Technique in sound waves, which would make it easier to use. This way, it could be used not only against a single enemy but also in group battles. However, although he was skilled in the Soul-Transferring Technique, he did not understand music. He remembered some music books he had seen at Liu's residence and asked Qu Feiyun for help, also to keep her from being bored. The two of them were quite happy together.

One day, Qu Feiyun was practicing her sword techniques. Yue Fangxing watched and said, "Feifei, practice over there and let me see how you've progressed!" Although he had fought alongside Qu Feiyun, he did not fully understand her skills, but he felt she had made significant progress. Now, he wanted to see her progress over the past few months.

Qu Feiyun replied, "Sure, Big Brother! Watch carefully!" She then demonstrated the Jade Maiden Sword Technique she had practiced over the past few months. Her movements were light and graceful, and the technique was truly beautiful.

Yue Fangxing nodded slightly. For Qu Feiyun to reach this level in just a few months, it was indeed impressive. No wonder she could survive the attack by so many people. Her internal skills had also improved significantly, thanks to the Cold Jade Bed, which was a valuable aid in cultivation.

After praising her, he noticed that she was still standing with her sword. Curious, he was about to speak when she suddenly moved, quickly drew her sword, and thrust it forward.

The sword was like a bolt of lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it pierced a bird flying several yards away, truly swift and deadly.

Yue Fangxing was also shocked by this move. Although the technique was simple, its power was enough to threaten a top-notch expert, making it not to be underestimated. He realized that this might be the result of his previous encouragement to practice her speed and sword thrusts, which was truly unexpected.
