Chapter 75 Story
The Lin Zhennan couple had bluish-purple faces, clearly indicating they had been dead for some time, but their clothes were neatly arranged, suggesting they had been carefully disposed of.
Lin Pingzhi let out a heart-wrenching scream and collapsed onto the corpse.
He cried so hard he nearly fainted, and his grief moved everyone present to tears.
"I had heard rumors that someone was targeting the Fuwei Escort Agency, so I sent my disciples to protect it secretly. However, I never expected those thieves to be so cunning. Besides the Qingcheng Sect, the Four Evils, and Mu Gaofeng, there are other experts..."
According to Yue Buqun's account, there was a mastermind behind the conspiracy against Fuwei Escort Agency. He used the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual and Guo Jing's life as bait, and he had been lurking in the shadows all along.
However, Yue Buqun found a clue and followed the person behind the scenes. He even fought with him several times. But the person's martial arts skills were no less than Yue Buqun's. When it came to the person's martial arts skills, although it was not explicitly stated, it was clear from the words that he belonged to the Songshan Sect.
Some of those present were well-informed and naturally had their own guesses about what Yue Buqun was saying.
However, the Songshan Sect has become quite powerful in recent years, and no one dares to mention that name easily.
Seeing that his words had been effective, Yue Buqun only touched on the point briefly, and continued in a somber voice: "That villain was extremely skilled in lightness of foot and extremely adept at concealment. I chased him to the vicinity of a river and finally intercepted him again."
Unfortunately... it was ultimately too late.
Pointing to the corpses on the ground, he lamented with grief, "Now that I think about it, that person must have killed Mu Gaofeng, injured Chong'er, and kidnapped the Lin couple in the dilapidated temple. After I caught up with them, that villain, seeing he couldn't escape, went mad and poisoned the Lin couple! I fought them fiercely and managed to scare them away, but I only managed to retrieve these two bodies..."
At this point, Yue Buqun, with tears in his eyes, bowed deeply to Lin Pingzhi: "Pingzhi, it is my incompetence that I could not save your parents! I am ashamed!"
These words were spoken with heartfelt sincerity, each word seemingly written in tears.
This not only perfectly explained why Linghu Chong was seriously injured and why he was present at the scene, but also placed all the blame on the suspected mastermind behind the scenes from the Songshan Sect.
Yue Buqun, on the other hand, became a great hero who, despite his defeat, made a glorious journey for the sake of loyalty and camaraderie.
"Mr. Yue's noble character is truly admirable!"
"We admire Master Yue's chivalrous spirit and righteousness!"
Those chivalrous figures who had originally intended to take advantage of the situation suddenly changed their tune and began to praise him.
Wang Jiaju and Monk Yuankong looked at each other, their faces grim, but they could no longer utter a word of accusation.
They even managed to retrieve the body and nearly lost their eldest disciple's life, which explains why they planned ahead. What else can you say?
Lin Pingzhi raised his tear-streaked face and looked at the elder in front of him who had stepped forward to collect the bodies of his parents and even humbled himself to apologize to him.
His mental defenses completely collapsed.
These past few days, this young master, who used to live a life of luxury, has experienced too much.
He was surrounded by betrayal, greed, and scheming.
The appearance of Yue Buqun was like a warm sun.
"Uncle Yue..."
Lin Pingzhi kowtowed heavily, saying, "Pingzhi... Pingzhi thanks Uncle Yue for his great kindness! From this day forward, my life belongs to you! I will serve you like an ox or a horse to repay your immense kindness!"
Yue Buqun quickly helped him up, gently patting his back, his eyes full of affection: "Good child, get up. Don't be too sad, from now on Mount Hua will be your home. As long as your uncle is here, I will never let anyone bully you again!"
This scene was deeply moving.
Even Yue Lingshan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but wipe away her tears, and her admiration for her father reached its peak.
Only Chen Qianyang's lips curled into a mocking smile.
His gaze, sharp as a torch, pierced through the white cloth covering the bodies of Lin Zhennan and his wife.
Although the fatal wound was cleverly concealed, and although it appeared on the surface to be a case of severe torture.
But thanks to his exceptional knowledge of swordsmanship, he still managed to discern the clues.
The way that force penetrated the body, the swift and decisive way it severed the heart meridian.
That was clearly... instantly killed by profound internal force!
Who else could do this, and also be present at the scene, besides Master Yue who is performing the role of a "benevolent father"?
His master even fabricated a person who seemed to be the mastermind behind the Songshan Sect.
If I hadn't known that Zuo Lengchan was powerless to help others, I would have actually believed it.
But why kill the Lin couple?
Perhaps it was out of frustration and anger after failing to get the sword manual?
However, his presence here now must mean that his target is Lin Pingzhi.
These two corpses could completely win over Lin Pingzhi, allowing him to rightfully take over everything at the Fuwei Escort Agency.
We'll pry information out of Lin Pingzhi then.
Really ruthless.
Chen Qianyang sighed inwardly.
This "Gentleman Swordsman" really went to great lengths to obtain that sword manual.
However, he never expected that Lin Pingzhi knew absolutely nothing.
Just then, Yue Buqun's gaze also landed on Chen Qianyang.
"Qianyang, you did a great job..." Yue Buqun said with a gentle expression, "If you hadn't appeared in Fuzhou, I don't know how things would have turned out."
Chen Qianyang chuckled inwardly. So this guy's here to demand an explanation, blaming me for ruining his plans?
He said, "When you see injustice on the road, you should draw your sword to help. This is what you taught me, Master. How could I forget it?"
"What a fine act of helping out! You truly deserve to be my disciple, Yue Buqun." Yue Buqun stroked his beard and smiled. "That Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sect was a despicable villain. You killed him, so be it. If anyone seeks revenge against you in the future, my Huashan Sect will stand behind you. I have also heard of your feat of fighting against the Four Evils. You did an excellent job."
Upon hearing this, the martial arts heroes around him immediately began to discuss among themselves, their faces showing shock.
Many people had heard about Guo Jing's feat of fighting the Four Evils, but most believed it was due to the strength of Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
As for the sudden departure of the Qingcheng Sect, various rumors circulated in the martial arts world, but no one expected that Yu Canghai was already dead.
So, it seems that both of these things were done by this Huashan disciple named Chen Qianyang.
It's truly terrifying that someone who's only twenty years old possesses such martial arts skills.
Then wouldn't Yue Buqun, who could teach such disciples, be even more terrifying?
He noticed that the way people were looking at him had changed, with doubt, apprehension, and jealousy in their eyes.
Chen Qianyang understood perfectly well that his master's clarification of these matters served two purposes: firstly, it enhanced the prestige of the Huashan Sect and himself; secondly, it put him in a very difficult position.
Leaving aside the Four Evils, the Qingcheng Sect was still a prestigious sect. Although Yu Canghai was dead, there were still many experts in the sect, and it had been operating in Sichuan for many years, with many allies and old friends.
Who knows, one day someone might come looking for him to avenge Yu Canghai.
However, since he had already killed Yu Canghai, he naturally wouldn't think about that much.
"Speaking of which, Qianyang," Yue Buqun seemed to have thought of something, "I seem to have told you to go directly to Hengyang after you finished dealing with things in Nanyang. Weren't you supposed to be in charge of things in Fuzhou? Why are you here?"
Those deep eyes were fixed on me, as if searching for something.
