“My young master is currently taking exams, and it will be a few more days before he finishes. After that, he will have to wait for the results to be released. He has no time to worry about these trivial matters.”

“That’s right. I’m not your disciple, I just paid to come up the mountain to learn martial arts. Now that I’ve learned enough, I naturally have little to do with the Huashan Sword Sect anymore. You think you can use Zhang Lingyu to intimidate me? Sect Leader Yue, you don’t have that much influence. Besides, losing before doesn’t mean I’ll lose now, nor does it mean I’ll keep losing in the future. You have to be strong yourself to succeed.” Jiang Yuyan arrogantly mocked Yue Buqun, who only knew how to use Zhang Lingyu’s influence to try and suppress her.

“It has nothing to do with Lingyu. This is the will of all the members of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. We have this much backbone. We don’t need to borrow it from others. If you have the ability, then kill all the members of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. The people of the Five Mountains Sword Sect are tough and not afraid of death.”

At this moment, Yue Buqun was completely possessed by an actor, and his performance was so righteous and benevolent that it made people in the martial arts world who did not think much of him look at him in a new light.

Although his strength may be average, his character and demeanor are truly remarkable. He is genuinely unafraid of power and death, worthy of being the head of the Huashan Sword Sect and the renowned Gentleman Sword. No wonder he is on par with Jiang Biehe, the great hero of Jiangnan.

“Brother Yue is right. Our Five Mountains Sword Sect has no spines. If you have the guts, kill us all!” Tianmen Daoist, who was straightforward and single-minded, was the first to stand up and respond.

Unlike Yue Buqun, this guy is truly fearless. With his head held high and chest puffed out, anyone who didn’t know better would really think he was some kind of expert. In reality, he’s just a weakling with a huge addiction and no fear of death.

Hengshan San Ding was naturally not afraid of death, but he was somewhat conflicted because he was considering the sect’s inheritance and his disciples. However, since he had already said all that, he responded immediately and was not afraid to confront Yihua Palace.

As for the Songshan Sect, which had already been crippled and whose very backbone had been broken, they were naturally opportunists, swaying whichever way the wind blew.

It was just bad timing. Otherwise, if Eunuch Cao had given the order, the sect would have collapsed quickly, leaving only Ding Mian and a few of his junior brothers and the original sect elders to remain in their positions, maintaining the mess and barely surviving.

“Yu Yan, that’s enough. Give me some face. Even the most powerful martial arts have their weaknesses and shortcomings. At least you’re far from being invincible and dominating the martial world. I don’t want to fight you. You were just offended by the Songshan Sect and got angry, wanting to get revenge. You didn’t really intend to be the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance. Xiao Bei isn’t suitable to manage such an alliance right now. You’ve killed quite a few people, even Zuo Lengchan. You’ve had your moment of glory and vented your anger. It’s time to stop. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being heartless. You know the power of the Cheng Ying Sword. Your Yi Hua Jie Yu won’t work on me.” As Shangguan Haitang spoke, she directly drew her Cheng Ying Sword.

Shangguan Haitang was holding a smooth sword hilt, as if she were holding an air sword.

However, those in the martial arts world who had witnessed the power of Cheng Ying before knew very well how terrifying this number one divine weapon in the martial arts world was at this stage.

At the same time, many people also noticed that Jiang Yuyan’s “Transferring Flowers and Jade” technique seemed to be useless against Cheng Ying Sword.

Some ordinary people in the martial arts world were unaware of the reason, but some top experts with keen insight instantly understood the key.

The trick of “transferring flowers and grafting jade” is indeed terrifying and magical, but it is not without flaws; there are at least two ways to break it.

The first is pure physical strength like Zhang Lingyu’s. I didn’t even use internal energy, so what can you use to deflect it? As for using someone else’s strength against them, my strength is ten or a hundred times that of yours, so how can you use my strength against me?

The second is an invisible weapon like Cheng Ying. To use Yi Hua Jie Yu, you must see the opponent’s attack and attack route, find the right time, and use a skillful technique to transfer the attack. What if you can’t even see it?

Therefore, there are two ways to restrain the practice of “switching flowers and grafting jade”.

The reason Jiang Yuyan was defeated by Zhang Lingyu in one move was not because Jiang Yuyan was really too weak, but because Zhang Lingyu was too strong and happened to be able to counter her, which is why the performance was so exaggerated, as if they were worlds apart.

Now no one dares to underestimate the eighth level of Mingyu Gong, and no one will underestimate Jiang Yuyan, who has already become a master of innate realm. Even Ye Gucheng is not very confident, and he is not sure whether his Heavenly Immortal Ascension will be affected by the Shifting Flowers and Jade.

He had heard of how terrifying Mingyu Gong was, and the intelligence network behind him was the most advanced in the entire martial arts world.

“Alright, alright. I originally just wanted to vent my anger, but I was really bothered by this brat. I was planning to dump her with the Five Mountains Sword Sect and let them play house with her. Since that’s the case, let’s leave it at that.”

After Jiang Yuyan finished speaking, she led her senior brothers and sisters, along with a dozen or so palace maids from the Yihua Palace, down the mountain.

As soon as the people from Yihua Palace left, all the martial arts practitioners present breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed.

Yue Buqun, the Gentleman Swordsman who stepped forward at the crucial moment, gained both fame and fortune, becoming a righteous hero sought after by everyone. His reputation even surpassed that of Jiang Biehe, the Jiangnan hero who was simply good at self-promotion, making him arguably the number one male internet celebrity in the Ming Dynasty’s martial arts world.

Yes, it should be second. The main reason is that Zhang Lingyu is a disciple who has surpassed his master. He is much better at packaging and hyping than Yue Buqun. The key is that he has real talent and strength.

Ning Zhongze’s heart was in her throat before, and she even had the idea of ​​living and dying with her husband. But now, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, has finally settled down.

“Lingshan, come with me. After we get down the mountain, we’ll head straight to the capital. The young master will return to the capital after the results are announced. You can come with me to meet him.” Xue Qianxun was calmly planning to leave with Yue Lingshan.

Upon hearing that she would soon be able to see her beloved junior brother, Yue Lingshan readily agreed without much thought. She skipped and hopped as she prepared to pack her belongings and set off with Xue Qianxun and the others to the capital to meet up with Zhang Weihao.
