Chapter 104

Following the other members of the Five Mountain Sword Sects as they came to pay their respects to Feng Feng Qingyang, several middle-aged swordsmen rushed up in delight!

It was none other than Feng Buping and his fellow Sword Sect disciples!

Although they had previously been used as pawns by Zuo Zuo Lengchan to stir up trouble at the Huashan Sect, they had ultimately been defeated by Nephew Linghu Chong. Having lost face, they had left the mountain!

However, upon hearing that Feng Feng Qingyang had re-emerged into the Daxi Jiang Hu and was right here at the Huashan Sect, Feng Buping and the others naturally came uninvited!

"Chong'er, go and pay your respects to your uncles!" After glancing at Feng Buping and the others, Yue Buqun did not find it strange and simply spoke to Nephew Linghu Chong beside him.

Naturally understanding what his master meant by having him pay his respects, Nephew Linghu Chong walked over and greeted Feng Buping and the others.

Looking at Nephew Linghu Chong, the expressions of Feng Buping and his group were somewhat awkward. As seniors of the Huashan Sect, being defeated by a junior like Nephew Linghu Chong was indeed a loss of face!

However, upon learning that Nephew Linghu Chong was actually the successor of Feng Feng Qingyang, the reaction of Feng Buping and the others changed immediately, and they became much more enthusiastic toward Nephew Linghu Chong.

If he was the disciple of Uncle Feng, then in a certain sense, wasn't he a successor of the Sword Sect?

"So, Nephew Nephew Linghu has actually received the true teachings of Uncle Feng. Truly a young hero!"

"I was just saying, how could a disciple of the Huashan Sect have such superb swordsmanship? So it was the true teachings of Uncle Feng. No wonder!"

"It is only right that Nephew Nephew Linghu succeeds as the leader of the Huashan Sect!"

Viewing Nephew Linghu Chong as one of their own from the Sword Sect, Feng Buping and the others were not only enthusiastic but even expressed their support for Nephew Linghu Chong taking over as the Huashan Sect leader!

Following this, Nephew Linghu Chong took the opportunity to suggest that Feng Buping and the others stay at the Huashan Sect, saying that the sect was currently in need of manpower!

Upon hearing this, Feng Buping and the others turned their gazes toward Feng Feng Qingyang!

What reaction could Feng Feng Qingyang have? Naturally, he nodded.

Thus, Feng Buping and the others very readily expressed their willingness to return to the Huashan Sect!

After all, with Feng Feng Qingyang presiding over the Huashan Sect and Nephew Linghu Chong viewed as a Sword Sect disciple, he was now the leader of the Huashan Sect.

In such a situation, these Sword Sect members, who had originally been like wandering ghosts, were naturally more than willing to return to the Huashan Sect!

"Indeed, one must give to receive. The Huashan Sect will surely flourish in the future!"

Watching Nephew Linghu Chong win over Feng Buping and the others with just a few words, Yue Buqun nodded with satisfaction!

For Yue Buqun, revitalizing the Huashan Sect had always been his obsession!

And having not turned evil as in the original story, seeing the Huashan Sect develop into this situation now, he was naturally happy from the bottom of his heart!

"Everyone..." At the succession ceremony, Nephew Linghu Chong began to speak: "To reach this day, I must first thank my master and mistress for their earnest teachings!"

"Secondly, I must naturally thank Grand Uncle-Master Feng Feng Qingyang for passing down his peerless sword techniques to me!!"

"Finally, I must express special gratitude to one person here!"

"That is, the Master of the Lotus Tower, Li Li Lianhua!"

Today, as the absolute protagonist of the Huashan Sect, Nephew Linghu Chong naturally had to say a few words!

Thanking Yue Buqun and his wife was only right; after all, Nephew Linghu Chong could be said to have been raised by them, and the grace of upbringing is as vast as the heavens!

Then, thanking the senior Feng Feng Qingyang was also necessary, as the grace of instruction was equally vast!

However, what surprised everyone in the Huashan Sect was that Nephew Linghu Chong actually wanted to specifically thank the Master of the Lotus Tower, Li Li Lianhua?

Once these words were spoken, everyone present looked at each other in astonishment!

The name of the Master of the Lotus Tower was now renowned throughout the Daxi Jiang Hu; as people of the Daxi Jiang Hu, everyone had naturally heard of him!

But, what connection was there between the Master of the Lotus Tower and Nephew Linghu Chong?

And more importantly, what had the Master of the Lotus Tower done for Nephew Linghu Chong that he had to specifically thank Li Li Lianhua here?

"Leader Nephew Linghu, may I ask why you specifically thank the Master of the Lotus Tower?" The Daoist Priest Tianmen of the Taishan Sect had a rather straightforward personality and, feeling curious, asked.

"Because some time ago, my body was deeply eroded by strange Qi, and I was on the verge of death. It was the Master of the Lotus Tower, Li Li Lianhua, who intervened to save my life, allowing me to survive!"

"With such a life-saving grace, how could I not express my gratitude properly?" Nephew Linghu Chong explained in response to the Daoist Priest Tianmen.

"So that's how it is!" Upon hearing this, the Daoist Priest Tianmen nodded in realization!

A life-saving grace indeed deserved proper gratitude!

However, regarding the reason Nephew Linghu Chong gave, both Feng Feng Qingyang and Yue Buqun looked somewhat skeptical.

Others might not know Nephew Linghu Chong's character, but they knew it very well.

If it were merely a life-saving grace, why mention it specifically at this ceremony, and why place it alongside the kindness of his master and Grand Uncle-Master?

"I had previously heard about Leader Nephew Linghu's internal injury from strange Qi and his travels seeking treatment!"

"Yes, I heard about it too. I was originally curious which famous physician had cured Leader Nephew Linghu's internal injuries; I didn't expect it to be the Master of the Lotus Tower!"

"It is rumored that the Master of the Lotus Tower's medical skills are profound and extraordinary. It seems the Daxi Jiang Hu rumors were correct!"

"Yes, not only medical skills, but he even possesses the method to regrow severed limbs!"

Others did not know Nephew Linghu Chong very well, so they did not doubt his explanation.

However, the topic had shifted to the Master of the Lotus Tower, and everyone was discussing it, expressing great amazement at Li Li Lianhua's medical skills!

This time, the Huashan Sect's ceremony was held very successfully and was very lively!

Even Zuo Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan Sect felt very unhappy seeing the Huashan Sect rise so strongly.

However, facing a big shot like Feng Feng Qingyang presiding over the sect, he did not dare to make any moves!

After officially succeeding as the leader of the Huashan Sect, Nephew Linghu Chong changed into festive robes and completed the wedding rites!

The three leaders of the Hengshan, Hengshan, and Taishan sects also received a message from Nephew Linghu Chong that evening, saying there were important matters to discuss and inviting them to meet at the back of Mount Huashan that night!

On his wedding night, why would Leader Nephew Linghu not be hugging his bride but instead inviting them to meet at the back of Mount Huashan?

The Daoist Priest Tianmen and the others secretly wondered!

However, since Nephew Linghu Chong had invited them, there must be a very important matter, and information that could not be easily known by outsiders.

Therefore, after the three leaders discussed it privately, they could roughly guess a thing or two!

Of the Five Mountain Sword Sects, only the Songshan Sect was not invited; wasn't the purpose of this very obvious?

Thus, late at night, Nephew Linghu Chong and Yue Buqun, master and disciple, arrived at the back of the mountain together.

Following that, they recorded the sword moves that the three sects had lost over the years into secret manuals and delivered them to the three leaders!

Looking at the manuals in their hands, which indeed contained their own long-lost sword moves, the three leaders were naturally very happy!

Although neither Nephew Linghu Chong nor Yue Buqun took the opportunity to ask the three sects to support them in dealing with the Songshan Sect.

However, with these martial arts manuals presented, the Huashan Sect immediately gained the goodwill of the other three sects.

Without Nephew Linghu Chong and his master needing to take the initiative, the leaders all spoke up, saying that such kindness would definitely be kept in mind!

With this, Nephew Linghu Chong's secret meeting with the other three sect leaders that night was considered a complete success!

"Phew, being this leader is truly not easy!" Watching the Daoist Priest Tianmen and the others leave, Nephew Linghu Chong suddenly sighed with emotion!

"This is only the beginning? There will be many more tiring things for you in the future!" Standing beside Nephew Linghu Chong, hearing his sigh, Yue Buqun glanced at him sideways and shook his head!

"Master, I still miss the old days, carefree and happy, being the senior brother of the Huashan Sect, how good that was!" Nephew Linghu Chong sighed sincerely!

As a carefree wanderer, now that he had become the leader of the Huashan Sect, although he was very moved by his master's expectations and importance,

such a life indeed made him feel constrained!

"So, where is there any carefree life? It was just that your master helped you block the wind and rain!" Hearing Nephew Linghu Chong's sigh, Yue Buqun continued to shake his head and said!

These words left Nephew Linghu Chong silent!

Indeed, before he became the leader of the Huashan Sect, he didn't feel anything!

But after becoming the leader, Nephew Linghu Chong clearly felt the weight of the burden on his shoulders!

He was not only bearing the heavy burden of the Huashan Sect, but also the heavy burden of his family!

Only at this moment could Nephew Linghu Chong understand some of Yue Buqun's previous difficulties!

Yes, where is there any carefree life? Before, it was just that his master had already blocked the wind and rain!

Just like many people who, after becoming adults, miss their childhood!

Actually, are they really missing their childhood at this time?

They are just missing having parents to shield them from the wind and rain, and their own carefree childhood!

"Chong'er..." Just as Nephew Linghu Chong was looking down at the scenery below the mountain, sighing to himself, Yue Buqun suddenly called out!

"Master!" Hearing this, Nephew Linghu Chong pulled his wandering thoughts back!

"You specifically thanked that Li Li Lianhua earlier, it wasn't just simply because Li Li Lianhua intervened to treat your injuries, right?" Yue Buqun then asked!
