Chapter 23

Inside the Great Hall of Huashan.

Seeing everyone log off one after another, Yue Buqun logged off himself to cultivate.

After all, he had already felt the opportunity to break through after the world level increased, so naturally he was going to try now.

He was seen sitting cross-legged on a cushion, quietly cultivating along the meridians of the Purple Mist Divine Art.

Previously, with the help of the Thousand-Year Spirit Marrow, Yue Buqun had long ago opened the Ren and Du meridians, gathered his internal energy into his dantian, and become a master of the Primordial Realm.

However, after cultivating to the peak of the Primordial Realm, even after using the Thousand-Year Spirit Marrow and the Hundred-Grass Liquid successively, he still could not break through.

But now it was different!

Yue Buqun quickly took a small lump of Thousand-Year Spirit Marrow from the Chat Group space, then swallowed it in one gulp.

With the support of the Thousand-Year Spirit Marrow, the internal energy in his body quickly began to boil, then constantly expanded within his dantian.

Boom!

Under the continuous impact, the internal energy in Yue Buqun's dantian instantly gushed out, actually appearing directly on the surface of his body!

At the same time, Yue Buqun involuntarily threw back his head and let out a long whistle!

That whistle startled the birds flying in the forests above and below Huashan, even reaching several li away.

Outside, a group of Huashan Sect disciples practicing the Huashan Sword Technique under Ning Zhongze's guidance were all stunned; they did not yet know what had happened.

"Senior Brother succeeded!"

A trace of joy instantly appeared on Ning Zhongze's face: "Could it be that Senior Brother really broke through to the Primordial Realm?"

Yue Buqun's strength had increased greatly recently, which naturally could not be hidden from her, his bedmate.

However, Yue Buqun himself had no intention of hiding anything from Ning Zhongze.

After all, Ning Zhongze's affection for him could be said to be heavier than Mount Tai!

In his original fate...

Although the eldest disciple Linghu Chong never forgot the grace of his master in his heart, he successively hid the Five Great Mountains Sword Techniques in the cave on Si Guo Cliff and the news of Feng Qingyang from him, and this became one of the reasons for his continuous darkening;

His daughter Yue Lingshan was also very good, but ultimately chose to spend the rest of her life with her husband Lin Pingzhi, and was later killed by him;

Only his junior sister Ning Zhongze, even after guessing he cultivated the Sunflower Manual, still continued to support him; even after later knowing he had done all manner of evil, in the end she only committed suicide!

Therefore, Yue Buqun had previously shown Ning Zhongze a certain level of strength, and also told Ning Zhongze that he was going into seclusion to cultivate, so recently it had been Ning Zhongze guiding the Huashan Sect disciples in cultivation.

Precisely because of this, after hearing Yue Buqun's long whistle, Ning Zhongze felt that Yue Buqun had broken through to the Primordial Realm.

But what she did not know was that Yue Buqun had now become a Grandmaster powerhouse above the Primordial Realm, a realm not even the founding ancestor of the Huashan Sect had ever reached!

At the same time, on Si Guo Cliff.

"This is..."

An old man in a green robe with white beard, thin in build, depressed in spirit, and with a face like gold paper, upon hearing Yue Buqun's whistle, could not help but show a look of surprise and doubt on his face.

Then, with a thought, his figure instantly shifted, and he rushed rapidly toward the direction of the Great Hall of Huashan.

He was seen walking between dangerous cliffs and precipices as if treading on flat ground, extremely fast, even quicker than martial arts masters of the Jianghu, looking nothing like an elderly man.

"Hahaha!" Yue Buqun let out a burst of hearty laughter, then slowly stood up.

"Finally broke through!"

Yue Buqun thought silently in his heart: "My current strength should have reached the legendary Grandmaster realm! Even if the former Mohist Sect Leader escapes, he absolutely will not be my match!"

After reading the Smiling Proud Wanderer uploaded by the Group Owner, Yue Buqun naturally knew the news that Ren Woxing was still alive.

That Ren Woxing was obviously a Primordial Realm powerhouse; combined with the strangeness of the Star-Sucking Great Art, even though he had previously cultivated to the peak of the Primordial Realm, he did not dare to say he could surely defeat the opponent.

But now it was different!

After breaking through to the Grandmaster realm, his internal energy could be projected outward, forming a body-protecting aura!

And although this body-protecting aura shared the same root and source as internal energy, it was actually not the same; that Ren Woxing's Star-Sucking Great Art should be unable to absorb it.

Of course, if that Ren Woxing could really absorb Yue Buqun's body-protecting aura, then he would have to congratulate Ren Woxing even more, because at that time Ren Woxing would be able to witness terrifying weapons from other worlds!

"Senior Brother!"

Just as Yue Buqun was thinking about what to do next, the voice of his junior sister Ning Zhongze suddenly rang in his ears, so he quickly stepped out of the Great Hall of Huashan.

At this time, Ning Zhongze had already led a group of disciples to Yue Buqun's presence; seeing Yue Buqun walk out of the hall, she could not help but ask: "Senior Brother, was that whistle just now your breakthrough?"

"That's right!"

Yue Buqun nodded slightly, then his gaze quickly fell upon the second disciple, Lao Deno.

Actually, he had long known that this Lao Deno was a spy sent by Zuo Lengchan to the Huashan Sect; previously, when the Huashan Sect was weak, he could only choose to feign friendship with the opponent.

As for now?

"Deno!" Yue Buqun said softly.

"Master!" Lao Deno hurriedly stepped forward two paces and respectfully greeted him.

"Pack your things and go down the mountain!" Yue Buqun said calmly.

Seeing this, Lao Deno hurriedly asked: "I do not know what business Master is sending this disciple down the mountain for this time?"

Lao Deno naturally did not know that Yue Buqun had seen through his identity; instead, he thought Yue Buqun wanted to send him down the mountain to handle affairs as before.

"The master-disciple fate between us has ended; you may go down the mountain!"

Yue Buqun looked at Lao Deno and continued: "When you return to Songshan, remember to convey my greetings to Alliance Leader Zuo on behalf of Yue!"

Hearing Yue Buqun's words, Ning Zhongze and the surrounding disciples were all stunned.

It must be known that since Lao Deno came to the Huashan Sect, he had always worked hard without complaint.

Yet such a person would actually be a spy of the Songshan Sect?

At this moment, Lao Deno's heart was even more struck as if by lightning, yet he still forced his face to maintain calm, even showing a trace of expression as if wrongly accused: "Master, I do not know what you mean by this? This disciple has absolutely no connection with the Songshan Sect!"

"Lao Deno, you are originally a disciple of the Songshan Sect; later, due to Alliance Leader Zuo's orders, you brought your skills and sought a master, bowing to become a disciple under my Huashan Sect!"

Yue Buqun said calmly, "What, do you want me to continue?"

Seeing that Yue Buqun had exposed all his secrets, Lao Deluo instantly lost any hope of luck.

"Junior Uncle Yue, I never expected you to know everything!"

Lao Deluo stepped back two paces, separating himself from the Huashan Sect disciples, then looked at Yue Buqun warily: "That's right, I am indeed a disciple of the Songshan Sect! But the reason I bowed to become your disciple, Junior Uncle Yue, is mainly because my master feared your Huashan Sect's strength was too weak, leaving room for the Mohist Sect to take advantage, and ultimately leading to total annihilation!"

"You..."

"Shameless!"

After hearing Lao Deluo's words, the disciples all glared at him in anger.

This Lao Deluo was clearly a spy sent by the Songshan Sect, yet after being discovered by his master, he still gave such a high-sounding excuse; it was simply the height of shamelessness!

"Enough!"

Yue Buqun waved his hand to signal the disciples to be quiet, then continued, "The affairs of our Huashan Sect do not require the Zuo Alliance Leader's concern; you may leave the mountain!"

"In that case, this disciple takes his leave!"

Lao Deluo bowed slightly, then retreated downward very warily, as if fearing Yue Buqun and the others would attack him.

After Lao Deluo's figure disappeared, Ning Zhongze could not help but look at Yue Buqun with some worry: "Senior Brother, that Lao Deluo..."

"Junior Sister, you need not worry!"

Yue Buqun said calmly, "With me here, the Huashan Sect will naturally be fine!"

Just then, Yue Buqun suddenly sensed a strange sound coming from a distance.

This strange sound was very faint; if he had not broken through to the Grandmaster realm, he would likely have been completely unable to detect it.

He looked over without showing any emotion and indeed faintly spotted a figure in a green robe.

"The one who can appear here at this time must be Junior Uncle Feng!"

Yue Buqun thought silently to himself: "It seems my howl earlier must have alerted him!"

Yue Buqun did not intend to reveal Junior Uncle Feng Qingyang's whereabouts!

After all, during the Sword and Qi dispute back then, the Qi Faction's victory was not particularly honorable, and Yue Buqun currently did not know how to handle his relationship with Feng Qingyang, so it was better to simply pretend he knew nothing!

As for the "Nine Swords of Dugu" in Feng Qingyang's hands, although Yue Buqun was somewhat curious, compared to the techniques within the Chat Group, it was completely insignificant!

At the suggestion of several readers, the points system for the previous chapters has been slightly modified; mainly, after uploading a secret technique, someone must purchase it to earn points. The next chapter will be a little later.
