Chapter 99

After Lan Fenghuang completely surrendered herself to Nie Yun, it was as if some seal had been broken. She stayed by his side from morning till night, and every night she accompanied him, engaging in endless passionate lovemaking.

Nie Yun was captivated by her charm, so different from that of women from the Central Plains, especially her soft, boneless body, which gave him a feeling of soaring to the clouds every time he lay on it.

In the past few days, Nie Yun felt inferior and wanted to use this to reassure herself, so she did not stop her. She also smiled and mediated when Yue Lingshan was jealous.

However, after ten consecutive days, not only Yue Lingshan and the other girls, but even the gentle and virtuous Min Rou felt uncomfortable, and Ning Zhongze, who regarded Nie Yun as her own son, was even more furious.

After dinner that day, Ning Zhongze said sternly, “Lan Fenghuang, Yun’er is young and impulsive and doesn’t know how to control himself. You are so much older than him, how can you be so immature? If you keep indulging in pleasure, can Yun’er’s body take it? If you continue like this, you should go back to your Five Immortals Sect and not stay on Mount Hua.”

Min Rou and Yue Lingshan sat upright to one side, their faces also frosty.

Lan Fenghuang was not resigned and was about to retort when she felt a cold gaze fall upon her.

She looked up and saw Nie Yun staring at her expressionlessly, his eyes filled with a seriousness she had never seen before.

“Yun… Brother Yun, I…” Lan Fenghuang opened her mouth, but finally lowered her head, looking resigned and aggrieved. She also glanced at the other girls from time to time, revealing a timid and aggrieved look in her eyes.

“Hehe…” Nie Yun sneered when he saw that this beautiful Miao girl was still trying to outsmart him. He said to Ning Zhongze, “Master’s wife, you should go and rest first. I will handle this matter.”

Ning Zhongze nodded, got up and walked towards the door.

Min Rou and the others followed behind, exiting the room one by one. Qu Feiyan walked at the very back. She paused as she passed Lan Fenghuang, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately left without uttering a word.

After the others left, Nie Yun stared calmly at the table without saying a word.

However, this calm made Lan Fenghuang feel uneasy. She felt that the air around her was becoming heavier and heavier, making her feel like she couldn’t breathe.

“Tap…tap…tap…” Nie Yun pointed her fingers downwards and gently tapped the table with her fingernails. In the quiet room, the sound was exceptionally loud.

As Lan Fenghuang listened to the unhurried tapping, she felt her heart pounding in rhythm with it, the beat growing louder and louder, as if it were about to burst out of her mouth.

Seeing a flush rise to Lan Fenghuang’s face, Nie Yun suddenly quickened the pace of his knocking. This made Lan Fenghuang even more uncomfortable. She grabbed Nie Yun’s hand and pleaded, “Stop…stop knocking!”

Nie Yun grabbed her soft little hand and pulled her into his arms, letting her lie on his lap.

Looking at that raised buttocks, Nie Yun raised his other hand without mercy and slapped it hard.

Her plump buttocks swayed back and forth as they were slapped, creating waves of alluring flesh.

“Slap… slap… slap…”

“Ah! It hurts! Brother Yun, what are you doing, you naughty boy… Ouch… Let me go… Ah… It hurts…” Lan Fenghuang never dreamed that she would be spanked by a man one day.

It should be noted that at this time, the Miao region still preserved matrilineal villages, so she did not believe that male superiority over females was a matter of course. On the contrary, she believed that women were superior to men in many ways, so she could not accept being treated like this by Nie Yun.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Lan Fenghuang quickly shouted loudly, desperately trying to break free from Nie Yun.

Nie Yun remained unmoved, simply holding her firmly down with his hands. Although his left hand was not large, it pressed down on Lan Fenghuang like a mountain, rendering her completely immobile, while his right hand continued to slap her hard.

“Waaah… Brother Yun, please stop hitting me! I’ll never do it again! Please forgive me!” Seeing that Nie Yun didn’t react, Lan Fenghuang started crying again, trying to arouse his pity.

“Hehe…” Nie Yun already knew this woman’s personality, so he wouldn’t fall for it.

“Nie Yun, let me go, or I’ll make you regret it!”

Seeing that her feigned injury had no effect, Lan Fenghuang’s tone changed, and she began to threaten, “Otherwise, I’ll make you eat frogs every day, gnaw on bugs every meal, and have your body itchy from morning till night! Let go right now, do you hear me! Nie Yun, you bastard, I mean what I say!”

But no matter whether she threatened or begged for mercy, Nie Yun ignored her and just kept spanking her buttocks.

In the end, Lan Fenghuang’s voice was a little hoarse, and all that could be heard was sobbing. Her body trembled with each slap from Nie Yun.

Seeing that the phoenix had lost its arrogance, Nie Yun released her. The blue phoenix tried to stand up, but just as she was about to exert herself, she cried out, “Ouch!”

She gritted her teeth and endured the pain to stand up and walk to the side, feeling the burning pain in her buttocks. Although she couldn’t see it with her own eyes, she was certain that her buttocks must have become red and swollen.

She looked at Nie Yun with teary eyes, her small mouth tightly pursed, her nose twitching, and she would occasionally blow a bubble.

Her tearful, aggrieved look would surely make any man rush to her side and comfort her.

“Come here!” Nie Yun’s voice wasn’t loud, but it made Lan Fenghuang shudder and instinctively cover her back with her small hands.

“Don’t worry, I won’t hit you!” Nie Yun was both angry and amused, and gently waved to her.

Lan Fenghuang moved slowly, tears welling up in her eyes. Seeing her approach, Nie Yun pulled her close, his touch much gentler than before.

“Does it hurt a lot?” Nie Yun still let her lie on his lap, gently stroking her buttocks with one hand.

“Hmm…” Lan Fenghuang buried her head in her arms and gave a tearful reply, “You hit it yourself, and you’re asking me!”

Nie Yun shook her head and gently lifted her skirt from behind. The first thing that caught her eye was a pair of slender calves, followed by rounded thighs, and finally two full and rounded buttocks.

However, it was covered with purplish-red handprints, and the swelling looked like fermented dough.

Nie Yun gently stroked it with his hand and began to circulate his inner energy to help reduce the swelling and relieve the pain.

“Ah…” The caress of the hand and the warmth of the internal energy made Lan Fenghuang tremble involuntarily, and her pretty face, which was covered in tears, turned red as if it were about to bleed.

She awkwardly brought her legs together, and her buttocks tensed up.

Perhaps because this made the injury even more painful, Lan Fenghuang’s tears flowed again.

Nie Yun shook his head and said irritably, “I’m not so blinded by lust. Relax, I’ll heal you!” As he spoke, he reduced the pressure on his hands again.

“Is it swollen?” Lan Fenghuang asked, turning around with a wronged expression.

“Yes, it’s a bit red and swollen.” Nie Yun sighed. “Do you know you made a mistake?”

“…” Lan Fenghuang turned her head away, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and remained silent.

“Hehe…” Nie Yun lowered his head, continuing to stroke and heal her wounds while gently kissing the back of her neck. “Phoenix, I have never looked down on you because of your age or your Miao identity. If I looked down on you, why would I bother to help you remove the Three Corpse Brain God Pill? If I looked down on you, with my martial arts skills and immunity to all poisons, do you think you could have escaped if I forced myself on you?”

Lan Fenghuang sniffed, but still didn’t say anything, only her body seemed a little more relaxed than before.

“Since you have given yourself to me, why belittle yourself and make trouble for yourself?” Seeing that the redness and swelling on her buttocks had subsided, Nie Yun helped her sit up on his lap.

Lan Fenghuang bit her lip, turned her head to the side, but leaned against Nie Yun’s chest without any resistance.

“Shan’er, Feifei, Shuanghua, and Sheng’er are all my women. I don’t want the house to be a mess all the time.”

Nie Yun’s tone became more serious, “We still have a wonderful journey ahead of us, and you will meet many new sisters…”

Lan Fenghuang buried her head in Nie Yun’s arms and muttered something softly.

“What did you say?” Nie Yun asked with a smile, lifting her chin with his hand.

Lan Fenghuang gave him a reproachful yet angry look, her slender fingers pointing at his chest, “Your women also include the Holy Maiden, your Master’s Wife, and your Godmother…”

Nie Yun took her hand in his, smiling faintly without saying a word.

Lan Fenghuang sighed, rested her head on his shoulder, and said sadly, “I know everything you said, but you are so outstanding, Brother Yun, I’m really afraid that one day you will leave me! You Han people say that we Miao girls are passionate, but we are even more devoted! Many of the sisters around me have been deceived by Han people and ruined their lives.”

She sat up, cupped Nie Yun’s face in her hands, and looked straight at him. “I don’t know how long your journey will be, nor how many women you will find in the future. I only ask that you, my little brother Yun, always keep a corner in your heart for me… um…”

Nie Yun silenced her with a kiss…

********************

After settling things off in his own backyard, Nie Yun focused his attention on the disciples of Mount Hua.

When he first took the position of sect leader, he selected a group of outstanding talents from among the disciples of Mount Hua, cleansed their marrow and bones, and taught them a simplified version of the Ziyang Divine Skill.

Now, almost a year later, these disciples have undergone a complete transformation, and each of them has reached the level of the Thirteen Protectors of Mount Song in the original novel.

Even the disciples who were not chosen have made significant progress, each of them reaching the level of a master.

Although Mount Hua’s historical foundation cannot yet compare to martial arts giants like Shaolin and Wudang, its overall strength is still terrifying, having recovered to the level of its former glory that shook the Five Sacred Mountains and made it famous throughout the martial arts world.

However, Nie Yun knew the importance of keeping a low profile, so the Huashan disciples did not go out to perform chivalrous deeds and make a name for themselves like in Yue Buqun’s time. Instead, they were arranged to anonymously join nearby escort agencies or go masked to the lair of notorious bandits to hone themselves through real bloody battles.

Although this will result in the death or injury of some disciples, as long as they survive the test, their strength will experience a qualitative leap.

Moreover, after experiencing life and death, the disciples’ temperament and adaptability have improved, and they are no longer inexperienced Boy Scouts.

“I wonder how Yingying is doing now?” Nie Yun stood with his hands behind his back, missing the beautiful, lovely, yet reserved and shy Miss Ren.

After Ren Woxing returned to the martial world, he stirred up a bloody storm.

Although he didn’t flaunt it, in order to improve his strength, he would use the Star Absorbing Technique to drain his opponent’s internal energy every time he faced a foe.

Only he knows this martial art, so almost everyone in the martial arts world knows that this great demon has appeared. Everyone is on guard, fearing that he will come after them. In doing so, Zuo Lengchan found an excuse to use it.

********************

“I have decided to convene a meeting of the Five Mountains Sword Sects to discuss the matter of merging the sects,” Zuo Lengchan said to his fellow disciples in the main hall of the Songshan Sect.

“Senior Brother Sect Leader, after the Liu Zhengfeng incident, the other four sects have become wary of our Songshan Sect. Moreover, all our strategies to weaken and divide them have failed, so I’m afraid they won’t agree to the proposal to merge the sects!”

Fei Bin advised from the side, “Moreover, Nie Yun’s martial arts are extraordinary. In my opinion, he has already surpassed Yue Buqun back then. I’m afraid he will ruin Senior Brother’s important matter.”

When he mentioned Nie Yun, his eyes were full of resentment, and his face showed a gritted-teeth expression.

On the day Ding Mian, the Pagoda Bearer, was knocked back by Nie Yun’s palm strike, his heart meridians were severed before he could even return to Mount Song, and he died a violent death on the way.

Fei Bin and Ding Mian had always been on good terms, and Fei Bin thought about avenging Ding Mian every day.

However, he also knew that his martial arts skills were only about equal to Ding Mian’s. Nie Yun could kill Ding Mian with one palm, and even if he tried his best, he probably wouldn’t fare well. So he could only suppress his hatred and persuade Zuo Lengchan not to force the merger.

“Hmph! Nie Yun is Yue Buqun’s disciple, belonging to the Qi Sect lineage, so it’s normal for him to have high internal strength. Moreover, I heard that Yue Buqun was already paralyzed in bed before he died, so he must have used the Enlightenment Technique to infuse his internal strength into Nie Yun’s body. Otherwise, how could he have such powerful palm strikes that harmed Junior Brother Ding Mian?”

Although Zuo Lengchan was somewhat wary of Nie Yun, he did not truly take him seriously.

Nie Yun was too young, so although people in the martial arts world knew that he was highly skilled, they didn’t have a clear idea of ​​just how powerful he was; they simply measured him by the standards of a so-called young genius.

But no one would have guessed that this guy possessed a powerful cheat code.

How could an ordinary person possibly predict the fate of Nie Yun, who is so powerful?

“This…” The group of bodyguards looked at each other, and finally all turned their attention to Fei Bin and Lu Bai, because only the two of them had personally witnessed Nie Yun’s martial arts skills.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Bai said, “What Senior Brother Sect Leader said makes sense. Nie Yun is not even twenty years old yet. Even if he started cultivating from the womb, he couldn’t have reached that level. His powerful internal energy certainly wasn’t obtained through normal cultivation. It must have been Yue Buqun’s unwillingness to accept his fate before his death, which is why he passed on his skills to him. Moreover, he is so young that he probably doesn’t have much experience. I think our five fellow disciples could take him down.”

Fei Bin pondered for a moment and continued, “Although Nie Yun is not a threat, the Hengshan, Taishan, and Hengshan sects will not agree. At that time, only our Songshan sect will be able to suppress everyone.”

Zuo Lengchan was also frustrated upon hearing this. All his previous plans had failed. His plan to launch a sneak attack on Hengshan Sanding had been thwarted, and he had lost contact with the Taishan elders he had made contact with. His attempt to weaken the Hengshan faction by leveraging the relationship between Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang had also failed.

Now that the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance is opposed by four factions, we may have no choice but to resort to some means.

“Back then, our Five Mountains Sword Sect fought a great battle against the Demonic Sect. The other four sects suffered heavy losses, and the Huashan Sect was weakened by the struggle for sword energy. That’s why our Songshan Sect was able to ascend to the throne of the alliance leader.”

Zuo Lengchan drew his longsword, his fingers tracing the blade lightly. “I gathered the remaining elders of our sect and recorded all the sword techniques they remembered, regardless of their quality. Over the past few decades, I have refined and perfected our sect’s seventeen sword techniques. The other four sects have never had such an opportunity, and many of their exquisite sword techniques have been lost. Based on this alone, our Songshan Sect is enough to surpass the other four sects.”

A short, stout, sallow-faced man in his fifties shouted, “Senior brother is right! The swordsmanship of our Songshan Sect is far more complete than that of the other four sects. Moreover, with our help over the past few decades, our sect leader has not had to struggle like Yue Buqun to support the sect. He has been diligently practicing day and night, and his icy true qi is unparalleled in the martial arts world. He is also one of the three great masters of the righteous path. Even if the sect leaders of the other sects disagree, it is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.”

This person was none other than Yue Hou, the Great Yin-Yang Hand, whose palms possessed the power of one yin and one yang, making them extremely powerful.

Zuo Lengchan smiled slightly, clearly agreeing with his words.

Lu Bai added, “However, Dingxian, Tianmen, and Mo Da are all stubborn. If we force them, it might backfire. Senior Brother Sect Leader can arrange for Qinghai Yixiao and others to assist them secretly, which will ensure that nothing goes wrong.”

With the plan settled, Zuo Lengchan arranged for his disciples to deliver the message to the four major sects of Mount Hua. At the same time, he personally wrote invitations and sent them to all the major sects in the martial arts world, while he secretly made his own preparations.

********************

“The Left Alliance Leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sects has issued an order: On the morning of May 15th, all the masters and disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sects shall gather at Mount Song to discuss important matters. Everyone must arrive on time and must not be late.”

The messenger who came to Mount Hua to deliver the message was once again an old acquaintance, Lu Bai. Holding the Five Mountains Command Flag, he said loudly to Nie Yun, “Sect Leader Nie, this alliance is a matter of life and death for our Five Mountains Sword Sect. Please be sure to attend.”

Ning Zhongze sneered from the side, “What kind of tricks does Zuo Lengchan have up his sleeve this time?”

Lu Bai was furious upon hearing this and said sternly, “Madam Yue, how can you be so disrespectful to Alliance Leader Zuo!”

After discovering that Lao Denuo was a spy for the Songshan Sect, Ning Zhongze no longer regarded Zuo Lengchan as the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Alliance, but instead regarded him as a mortal enemy.

Hearing Lu Bai reprimand him, he immediately wanted to get up and teach him a lesson.

“Master’s wife, there’s no need to be angry.”

Nie Yun reached out to stop her, then turned to Lu Bai and said, “Uncle-Master Lu, my mistress has a rather impatient temperament, please don’t take offense. As for the alliance meeting, since Alliance Leader Zuo has given the order, our Huashan Sect will definitely attend on time.”

Lu Bai was also worried that Nie Yun would make a move against him, so he went along with it and nodded, saying, “In that case, I’ll take my leave.” After saying that, he turned and left.

Seeing him walk away, Ning Zhongze turned to Nie Yun and said, “Yun’er, why did you agree to participate in the alliance? Zuo Lengchan harbors evil intentions and must be after the Five Mountains Alliance.”

“Don’t worry, Master’s wife. Zuo Lengchan’s elaborate schemes are nothing more than a wedding dress for me!” Nie Yun smiled slightly. “This alliance meeting will be the time for my Huashan Sect to regain the throne of the Five Mountains Sword Alliance Leader.”

Looking at his confident and radiant face, Ning Zhongze’s unease suddenly subsided. She smiled slightly and said softly, “Yun’er, go ahead and do it. Your master’s wife will always support you!”

********************

With nearly three months until the alliance meeting, Nie Yun, despite having absolute confidence in his martial arts skills, remained vigilant.

He wrote to the leaders of the other three sects of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, reminding them not to go out recently and to be wary of any schemes that Zuo Lengchan might use.

Just as he was busy making preparations, news came from down the mountain.

“Tong Huajin is looking for me?” Nie Yun was momentarily stunned when he heard this name.

“Tong Huajin… Tong Huajin… Why does this name sound so familiar? I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere before.”

Nie Yun pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead. “Oh my god, isn’t that the alias Xiang Wentian used when he brought Linghu Chong into Plum Manor in the original story? Could it be that Xiang Wentian is looking for me?”

Nie Yun arrived at the inn at the foot of the mountain and, as expected, met Xiang Wentian.

“Brother Nie, I’m so glad to finally see you! I was so worried!” Xiang Wentian said anxiously, and as soon as he saw Nie Yun, he grabbed his hand tightly as if he had seen a savior.

“Old Xiang, calm down, let go of me first. I’m not interested in men.” Nie Yun quickly took a few steps back and pulled his hand away. “What happened? Why isn’t Yingying here? Are you alone?”

Xiang Wentian sighed and said, “Brother Nie, the leader and the young lady are preparing to go to Blackwood Cliff to find Dongfang Bubai and reclaim the leader’s position. The young lady said that this matter is too dangerous and refused to ask you for help. Although this is somewhat disrespectful, based on my deduction, the leader’s martial arts are probably no match for Dongfang Bubai. If they rashly go up the mountain, I’m afraid they will not succeed.”

Nie Yun was taken aback upon hearing this; he hadn’t expected Ren Yingying to go to such lengths for him.

“That silly girl!” he thought to himself, then asked Xiang Wentian, “Where are they now?”
