Chapter 154

Write down the name and birth date of the deceased, and you can summon the soul of the deceased!

"Soul-Summoning Banner? Is this, is this really a treasure that can appear in the Comprehensive Martial Arts World?"

Looking at this eerie little banner before him, Li Lianhua widened his eyes!

Good guy, with this little banner, can he be promoted to a Necromancer?

"Eh, wait, this prop is of extraordinary value to me!"

After secretly complaining to himself, Li Lianhua suddenly remembered that this little banner was exactly what he needed right now!

If nothing else, when he opened the treasure chest before, he got one of the Eight Miraculous Skills: Restraining Spirits and Commanding Generals!

Up until now, he hadn't seen any other spirits.

So, he hadn't had the conditions to use this move yet!

But now, he had opened the Soul-Summoning Banner prop; wouldn't this prop and his Restraining Spirits and Commanding Generals be a seamless combination?

Just like the Youth-Preserving Pill and the All-Encompassing Hand's plastic surgery effect were a seamless match!

The combination of the Soul-Summoning Banner and Restraining Spirits and Commanding Generals is also seamless!

"Sure enough, there are no skills that can't be used; as long as the conditions are sufficient, this Restraining Spirits and Commanding Generals can also be put to use!"

Although the Soul-Summoning Banner looked a bit eerie and terrifying, thinking of the combination with Restraining Spirits and Commanding Generals, Li Lianhua nodded silently, feeling it looked much more pleasing to the eye!

However, although he wanted to try out the new skill, the Soul-Summoning Banner required not only the name but also the birth date, which was a slightly harsh condition.

Currently, Li Lianhua had no target to use the Soul-Summoning Banner on!

Having finished what needed to be done, Li Lianhua had no intention of staying in this inn, so he went straight back to the Dragon-Protecting Villa to rest!

……

Not to mention the situation in the capital!

On the side of the Huashan Sect, after a period of practice, the Huashan disciples had initially mastered the two exquisite sword techniques brought out by Feng Qingyang.

Plus, Nephew Linghu Chong's internal injuries were completely healed, and there was a big shot like Feng Qingyang sitting in charge!

It could be said that the current overall strength of the Huashan Sect had undergone an earth-shattering change compared to before!

Of course, Feng Qingyang had not yet come out of seclusion openly.

However, on this day, Nephew Linghu Chong, leading Yue Buqun and many Huashan disciples, had already arrived at the Cliff of Repentance!

On the surface, Nephew Linghu Chong was telling his master and fellow disciples that he had discovered a stone chamber and secret cave at the Cliff of Repentance and had found many lost sword moves and counter-moves of the Five Mountains Sword Sect!

In reality, Nephew Linghu Chong had already discussed with Yue Buqun to come to the Cliff of Repentance to invite Feng Qingyang to come out of seclusion!

With so many people coming to the Cliff of Repentance in such a grand manner, Feng Qingyang naturally noticed it, but he did not appear, just hiding in the dark and peeking!

Yue Buqun let the disciples record the many sword moves in the stone cave and practice diligently!

Feng Qingyang saw all of this!

As a descendant of the Qi Sect and now the leader of the Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun not only let Nephew Linghu Chong teach the two sword techniques he brought out, but was also willing to let them learn the sword moves in the stone cave.

This made Feng Qingyang nod silently, feeling that Yue Buqun had indeed changed and was different from the impression he had of him!

Regarding the sword moves, Nephew Linghu Chong and Yue Buqun chatted for a few words.

Then, Nephew Linghu Chong, acting as if by accident, revealed that his Nine Swords of Dugu were learned from his Grand-Uncle-Master Feng Qingyang!

Afterwards, Yue Buqun naturally asked about Feng Qingyang's whereabouts!

"Grand-Uncle-Master Feng, your disciple's disciple accidentally let it slip today and revealed your tracks. Please punish me, Grand-Uncle-Master Feng!" Having revealed that Feng Qingyang was living in seclusion at the Cliff of Repentance, Nephew Linghu Chong called out loudly!

If it were in the past, Feng Qingyang would never have met Yue Buqun!

But now, seeing that Yue Buqun had changed, and his tracks had been exposed, hiding seemed to have no meaning.

After a moment of hesitation, Feng Qingyang jumped out!

Naturally, Yue Buqun led many Huashan disciples to pay respects to the senior of the Huashan Sect!

"You brat, you did that on purpose, didn't you?" After meeting Yue Buqun and the others, Feng Qingyang pulled Nephew Linghu Chong to a corner and blamed him!

"Hehehe, nothing can escape your sharp eyes, Grand-Uncle-Master!" Nephew Linghu Chong scratched his head and said with a cheeky smile!

"You brat..." Seeing Nephew Linghu Chong's look, Feng Qingyang knocked him on the head!

"Uncle-Master, our Huashan Sect has been drifting in the wind for so long; now we have finally waited for your appearance. Please come out of seclusion!" After paying respects to Feng Qingyang, Yue Buqun spoke up, inviting Feng Qingyang to come out of seclusion!

A sword master at the Grandmaster level—for the Huashan Sect, this was simply a protective umbrella!

"The Huashan Sect is now for you young people. This old bone of mine won't get involved in these Jiang Hu matters!"

However, regarding Yue Buqun's invitation, Feng Qingyang shook his head and refused.

Although Feng Qingyang had changed his view of Yue Buqun slightly!

But it had only changed from previous disgust to being slightly displeased!

So, thinking about coming out of seclusion but having to listen to Yue Buqun, the sect leader?

Feng Qingyang was naturally unwilling!

"Uncle-Master, don't be in such a hurry to refuse..."

Hearing what Feng Qingyang said, Yue Buqun spoke up, looked around at everyone present, and said, "Today, Uncle-Master Feng is here, so it's perfect for him to be a witness!"

"I want to announce two things today!"

"The first thing is, as a father, I announce that I am betrothing my daughter Yue Lingshan to Nephew Linghu Chong!"

"My daughter and Chong'er are childhood sweethearts and are in love; the whole Huashan Sect has seen this!"

In this era, marriage is a matter of the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words!

Since Yue Buqun, as a father, had said so, and Ning Zhongze had also nodded, and Yue Lingshan didn't dislike Nephew Linghu Chong—besides being shy—she naturally didn't refuse!

In the original work, it was because Yue Buqun turned evil and wanted to kill Lin Pingzhi, so Lin Pingzhi specifically tried to woo Yue Lingshan for self-preservation!

Now Yue Buqun hasn't turned evil, and even the family's Evil-Warding Sword Manual has been found, so Lin Pingzhi naturally has no sense of crisis.

Without his interference, Nephew Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan's relationship is quite stable!

"Congratulations, Senior Brother!"

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, this is truly a happy event for our Huashan Sect!"

"Chong'er, for this great happy event, Grand-Uncle-Master will definitely go down the mountain to have a cup of wedding wine!"

……

After Yue Buqun announced the marriage of Nephew Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan, the Huashan disciples offered their congratulations one after another.

Even Feng Qingyang smiled and indicated he would go down the Cliff of Repentance to have a cup of wedding wine!

"Alright!" Seeing everyone having a lively time, Yue Buqun reached out and pressed down, signaling everyone to be quiet!

Then, Yue Buqun continued: "In addition, there is a second thing!"

"This second thing, I am announcing as the leader of the Huashan Sect!"

"That is, I announce that I am passing the position of Huashan Sect leader to Nephew Linghu Chong!"

As soon as Yue Buqun said this, everyone on the Cliff of Repentance had their expressions change!

Nephew Linghu Chong, however, showed no surprise!

The master and disciple had actually already discussed this matter!

After a brief silence, the atmosphere of the Huashan Sect suddenly exploded, and the disciples were all eating and asking Yue Buqun why he was doing this!

Although everyone knew that Nephew Linghu Chong succeeding as the Huashan Sect leader was a certainty!

But suddenly letting him take over now was something no one had expected!

Facing everyone's questions, Yue Buqun said: "First, although Chong'er is my disciple and young, his martial arts have already surpassed mine, which makes me very gratified!"

"Secondly, Chong'er's conduct recently shows that his temperament has become steady, so I am relieved to hand over the Huashan Sect to him!"

Yue Buqun put forward two points, but in fact, there was a third, most important point he didn't mention!

That is, only when Nephew Linghu Chong becomes the Huashan Sect leader will Feng Qingyang come out of seclusion without reservation to sit in charge of the Huashan Sect!

Even with Feng Qingyang as a banner, those Sword Sect members who are wandering outside, like Feng Buping and Cheng Buyou, will be willing to return to the Huashan Sect!

It must be said that Yue Buqun, without turning evil, is indeed a very qualified sect leader!

He sees that if Nephew Linghu Chong becomes the sect leader, it will be more beneficial to the Huashan Sect, so he very decisively expressed his abdication!

Besides, even if he abdicates, Nephew Linghu Chong is still his disciple and his son-in-law; what else does he have to worry about?

Finally, Nephew Linghu Chong also indicated that he is still young, and even if he becomes the Huashan Sect leader, he still has to rely on Yue Buqun's guidance for many things.

Yue Buqun naturally nodded and agreed!

From then on, the matter of Nephew Linghu Chong succeeding as the Huashan Sect leader was settled!

Then, Nephew Linghu Chong, as the Huashan Sect leader, invited Feng Qingyang down the mountain!

Reasoning and appealing to emotion, he said that the Huashan Sect needs Feng Qingyang to sit in charge and also needs him to guide the disciples in sword techniques! ===== CHAPTER 156 =====

Reasoning with him and appealing to his emotions, they said that the Huashan Sect needed Feng Qingyang to hold the fort, and also needed him to instruct the disciples in sword techniques!
