Chapter 31: Yue Buqun's Outrageous Maneuvers

Songshan Sect, on the competition platform.

"Gulp..."

Zuo Lengchan, a top-tier expert in the Wulin, silently swallowed his saliva.

Glancing sideways at the long sword behind him, he could not help but feel a lingering fear.

That sword just now had grazed his cheek.

Had Yue Buqun not held back from delivering a killing blow, he would likely have been decapitated by now.

Zuo Lengchan looked at Yue Buqun before him in horror; at this moment, the fury in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

Which two idiots were it that went to test Yue Buqun in the first place?

Didn't they say his strength was nothing out of the ordinary?

And yet, this is what you call "nothing out of the ordinary"?

This is called "nothing out of the ordinary"?

If this is called nothing out of the ordinary, could anyone else be found in the entire Wulin!

Those two who went to test his strength really should be dragged out and executed.

Though he was furious inside, the situation at hand still had to proceed.

As the Sect Master of the Songshan Sect, if he were to concede right now!

Then the face of their Songshan Sect would be completely lost!

And the face of Zuo Lengchan himself would also be completely lost.

From this day forward, how could he, Zuo Lengchan, continue to stand in the Wulin!

"Bang!"

Just as Zuo Lengchan made up his mind, a loud boom rang out beside him the next moment.

Zuo Lengchan looked over in terror, only to see that the stone tile of the platform beside him had been imprinted with a palm print by Yue Buqun using his profound internal energy.

"Gulp..."

For a moment, the entire area around the platform fell silent, and countless Wulin figures were left dumbfounded.

They stared blankly at Yue Buqun, not knowing what to say anymore.

"Sigh, sometimes being too strong isn't good; it's easy to leak out!"

With another sigh, Zuo Lengchan on the platform instantly snapped back to reality.

Who was he, where was he, and what was he doing?

Right, if he surrendered, the face of their Songshan Sect would be lost, and his own face, Zuo Lengchan's, would also be lost.

Therefore, how could he, Zuo Lengchan, refuse to surrender just for the sake of mere face?

"Sect Master Yue's cultivation has reached the pinnacle of creation, none can compare!"

Dropping to one knee, Zuo Lengchan said respectfully.

What, you say who was swearing to the death not to submit just a moment ago?

Nonsense, he, Zuo Lengchan, is not that kind of person.

How much is face worth? Would he refuse to surrender for that?

Just kidding, that's impossible!

"Hmm, so judging by Sect Master Zuo's meaning, this position of Five Mountains Alliance Leader?"

Seeing Zuo Lengchan being so sensible, Yue Buqun was very gratified.

If Zuo Lengchan were any less sensible, he would have had a headache.

As for why Yue Buqun kept Zuo Lengchan around.

That was naturally to make money!

Among the Five Mountains Sword Sects, the Songshan Sect was the most powerful!

How could Yue Buqun possibly let go of such a natural money-making tool?

And as for killing Zuo Lengchan and taking control of the Songshan Sect himself?

Yue Buqun didn't have the time to manage it.

Plus, the Songshan Sect's methods of gathering wealth were a bit excessive.

He, Yue Buqun, was the Gentleman Sword.

If he took it over, his reputation in the Wulin would be ruined.

After all, Zuo Lengchan didn't care about face, but he, Yue Buqun, did!

Zuo Lengchan, standing to the side, was speechless.

Zuo Lengchan: I f***ing thank you!

So, keeping Zuo Lengchan to help him gather wealth without damaging his own reputation—why not?

As for Zuo Lengchan refusing to do it!

He wouldn't dare not to!

Yue Buqun wore a smile, walked over slightly, and patted Zuo Lengchan on the shoulder.

"The position of Five Mountains Alliance Leader is naturally Sect Master Yue's!"

Even if he was unwilling in his heart, the situation was stronger than the man.

Zuo Lengchan might be a bit slow to react, but he wasn't blind.

Yue Buqun's strength made killing him as easy as flipping a hand!

At a time like this, if you don't grovel, are you looking for death?

"Hahaha, since that is the case, then Yue will not decline!"

Laughing, Yue Buqun directly accepted the position of Five Mountains Alliance Leader.

With his current strength, if not for the money, he wouldn't even look at the position of Alliance Leader.

"Greetings, Alliance Leader!"

The person for the Five Mountains Alliance Leader was decided.

The surrounding members of the Five Mountains Sword Sects bowed and spoke one after another.

Regarding Yue Buqun's election as Alliance Leader, people like Mo Da of the Hengshan Sect and Abbess Dingyi of the Hengshan Sect were quite approving.

They were all fairly satisfied.

After all, Yue Buqun's strength was there for all to see.

If they fought, they couldn't win.

Moreover, Yue Buqun's reputation in the Wulin had always been good.

He had the reputation of being a humble gentleman, the Gentleman Sword.

The Five Mountains Sword Sects should be much better off in his hands.

However, just as everyone was thinking this.

Yue Buqun, having taken the throne of the Alliance Leader, stood in the middle of the platform.

Sweeping his gaze over the crowd below, Yue Buqun felt it was time to carry out his plan.

He had worked hard and come all this way.

It was not for this position of Alliance Leader.

For him now, what use was an Alliance Leader position?

The old Yue Buqun might have pursued it to improve the honor of the Huashan Sect and himself.

But now he had encountered a celestial opportunity.

What honor, what glory!

Let it all go to hell.

With a celestial opportunity, he, Yue Buqun, might even be able to live as long as an immortal.

Did he still need the position of Five Mountains Alliance Leader to add to his glory?

He only wanted one thing now!

Money, glittering money!

With money, he, Yue Buqun, could live long.

Without money, he couldn't even afford a good meal.

Therefore, regarding the position of Alliance Leader, Yue Buqun had already made up his mind before coming.

"Everyone, since I have become the Alliance Leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sects today."

Now on the platform, Yue Buqun condensed his massive internal energy, and his words instantly spread across the entire Mount Song.

"Then I guarantee here that from this day forward, the Five Mountains Sword Sects will never again be harassed by the Demonic Cult!"

Yue Buqun's voice echoed throughout the platform.

For a time, the members of the Five Mountains Sword Sects cheered and applauded excitedly.

Master Mo Da and Abbess Dingyi and the others even exchanged glances and smiled with relief.

Sure enough, choosing Yue Buqun as Sect Master was the right decision.

This internal energy cultivation was likely the best in the Wulin.

They had not entrusted their hopes to the wrong person with this grand ambition!

However, just as Master Mo Da, Abbess Dingyi, and the others were rejoicing.

On the platform, Yue Buqun's tone suddenly shifted.

"However, since you have all joined the Five Mountains Sword Sects, in order to better ensure the safety of some of your sects' finances so they are not coveted by the thieves of the Demonic Cult, I, Yue Buqun, am willing to personally help you keep them safe!"

As these words fell, the cheering all around the arena suddenly ceased.

The crowd of Wulin figures looked at Yue Buqun in astonishment.

Even people like Master Mo Da and Abbess Dingyi were dumbfounded.

What do you mean by "some of your finances" and "not coveted by thieves"!

What do you mean by "hand them over to you for safekeeping"!

Damn it, do you take these Wulin figures for fools?

Yue Buqun, could what you just said be any more fake!

Master Mo Da and the others, who had previously supported Yue Buqun, changed their expressions in an instant.

May I ask, is it still too late to stop supporting Yue Buqun as Alliance Master now?
