Chapter 196

It seems Abbess Dingyi must have said something to Yilin; now she didn't even dare to make eye contact.

Gu Hanyuan didn't care about this; Yilin's level was practically negative, and he could take her down at any time.

Afterward, Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Hand-Washing Ceremony was held, and he even specially donated for a nominal military rank from the imperial court.

Even the persuasion of his peers in the Five Mountains Sword Sects could not change Liu Zhengfeng's stubbornness.

Just as Liu Zhengfeng was about to complete the hand-washing, Ding Mian, Fei Bin, and Lu Bai held high the Five Mountains command flag and broke in with a large number of Songshan disciples.

After a war of words, Fei Bin had Liu Zhengfeng's family brought up.

Gu Hanyuan watched coldly from the side; seeing that the Songshan Sect was going to harm Liu Zhengfeng's family, apart from Abbess Dingyi, not a single person spoke up for them.

He looked at Abbot Fang Zheng of South Shaolin, Qiu Chuji of the Quanzhen Sect, and his Uncle-Master Chongxu with contempt.

Only Huang Rong, who had been watching Gu Hanyuan, saw the contempt in his eyes.

She was somewhat worried because she knew Gu Hanyuan was about to make a move.

Fei Bin shouted angrily:

"Liu Zhengfeng, if you don't kill Qu Yang, I will kill your whole family!"

Then he had Liu Zhengfeng's daughter, Liu Jing, brought up.

Lu Bai looked at Liu Jing and threatened:

"If you want to live, kneel and beg for mercy now, denounce Liu Zhengfeng's wrongs, and you can be spared."

Liu Jing was delicate and pretty, usually gentle, like a lady of a noble family.

Although she was in a sorry state, her spirit was high, and she cursed angrily: "Traitor, your Songshan Sect is ten thousand times more evil than the Demon Sect!"

After speaking, she closed her eyes and waited for death.

Qu Feiyan, hiding in the dark, saw her good sister about to be killed and looked anxious, wanting to save her, but was held down tightly by Qu Yang beside her.

Lu Bai saw that the first one brought up didn't beg for mercy and shouted in anger:

"Kill her!"

Wan Daping obeyed the order, raised the sword in his hand, and was about to kill Liu Jing....

Apart from Abbess Dingyi, who showed unbearable pity, everyone else remained indifferent.

Only a scream was heard, but it was a man's voice—it was Wan Daping, who was about to raise his sword to kill.

He was seen clutching his wrist, retreating with a pale face, blood trickling through his fingers.

The sudden change in the scene left people unable to react.

Even Fei Bin and the others didn't expect that there would be someone on the scene who would choose to save people.

Liu Jing saw that she hadn't died and opened her eyes.

She saw a man protecting her behind him; he was dressed in white, his face like a crown of jade, handsome and extraordinary, his long hair tied casually behind his head, standing tall and upright—truly a dashing and elegant figure.

On the tip of the long sword in his hand, there were still a few blood beads that had not yet fallen.

Liu Jing only felt that having such a person save her, she would have no regrets even if she died here today.

"It's Brother Gu!"

Qu Feiyan suppressed her excitement and whispered to Qu Yang.

Qu Yang also didn't expect Gu Hanyuan to make a move to save people.

Except for Huang Rong, who had expected it, everyone else was stunned by Gu Hanyuan.

Although Daoist Priest Chongxu was also dissatisfied with the Songshan Sect's actions, he had never thought of opposing them at such a time.

The enemy was many and he was few; Fei Bin and the others alone were not something he could deal with.

Abbot Fang Zheng of South Shaolin was the happiest, because among those present, he was the one least willing to see the Songshan Sect establish its prestige.

But he also didn't think highly of Gu Hanyuan's outcome, actually wanting to confront the Songshan Sect alone.

Qiu Chuji of the Quanzhen Sect showed disdain and smiled at the disciples following him:

"This child 0.3 will die today."

Guo Fu didn't think so much; she was the most blindly worshipful of Gu Hanyuan, and seeing him save people made her feel very excited.

Cheng Ying, Yue Lingshan, and Yilin all showed worry; although they also admired Gu Hanyuan's act of saving people, in the current situation, they were more worried.

Ning Zhongze's eyes were complex; she suddenly felt that her judgment might not be as good as Yue Lingshan's.

She was also someone dissatisfied with the Songshan Sect's style; if it weren't for her concern for the Huashan Sect, she would have chosen to save people too.

At this moment, her favorable impression of Gu Hanyuan increased greatly.

Yue Buqun was also very surprised, not expecting Gu Hanyuan to do something he would absolutely never do.

Abbess Dingyi recited a Buddhist chant; although she admired Gu Hanyuan for saving people, she felt that her disciples, especially Yilin, would likely have their practice shaken again. ===== CHAPTER 198 =====
