A righteous young hero? But I am a demonic cultist.

Chapter 42 The Three Fools of the Sword Sect Go to the Cliff of Repentance

Yue Buqun never imagined that the accountant he casually saved would one day save the lives of everyone in the Huashan Sect and even help him eliminate his enemies.

He glanced at the Sword Sect disciples kneeling on the ground begging for life. These people made him doubt himself. What had he done all these years? Why could an accountant have such talent? Why was God so unfair!

But his disciples behind him all beamed with joy.

The first to cheer was Liang Fa, who laughed and shouted, "We won! We won!"

His shouts inspired his disciples, and they all cheered, "We won! We won!"

"Hahaha, we won! We won!"

Just moments ago they were worried about their lives, but now the situation has taken an unexpected turn.

The seemingly strongest members of the Songshan Sect were blasted to smithereens by Yue Yuan and Yue Lingshan with a single sword strike. Furthermore, the eldest disciple single-handedly fought and defeated three bandits. How could this not excite everyone?

Amid cheers, Lu Dayou, the sixth brother, pointed at Linghu Chong and said, "Senior Brother fought three bandits single-handedly; he's truly amazing!"

The third brother, Liang Fa, disagreed. He retorted, "Junior Brother and Junior Sister are truly amazing! Their swordsmanship is like that of immortals!"

"My senior brother is amazing!"

"Junior Brother is awesome!"

"It's all thanks to our senior brother; those three were no match for him!"

"Hmph, it was Junior Brother who saved Senior Brother from being tied up in that net. Junior Brother is clearly more capable!"

Unable to reach an agreement, the two turned to Ning Zhongze for help.

"Master's wife, you be the judge! Who's more capable, the eldest brother or the youngest brother?"

Ning Zhongze glanced at Yue Yuan, then at Linghu Chong holding the sword. To be honest, she couldn't tell who was stronger, but without the two of them, Mount Hua would be in trouble today!

She clapped her hands. "Everyone, stop this pointless arguing and capture these thieves first." Then, she turned to Yue Buqun. "Senior Brother, is there anything else you need?"

Yue Buqun forced a smile, "I'll do whatever my junior sister says!"

"Alright," she continued, issuing orders, "Liang Fa and Lu Dayou, you lead your disciples to take all these thieves to the Discipline Hall. Remember, they cannot be allowed to talk."

The two stepped forward to receive the order, saying, "Disciples obey!"

The two then led the disciples of Mount Hua to take these people to the Discipline Hall in batches.

Lying on the ground, Feng Buping sensed that all was lost and could only roar angrily, "Kill me! I will not go to the Discipline Hall with you!"

"Yes, if you have the guts, then kill us. It's not like this is the first time your Qi Sect has done something like this."

"A real man isn't afraid of death. Even if his head is lost, it'll just be a scar. He'll be a hero again in eighteen years."

Linghu Chong dared not make a decision on his own, and he subconsciously looked at Yue Yuan.

He immediately took a step back: "Don't look at me, you should ask your master!"

"Master, Mistress, what should we do with these three?"

Yue Buqun sneered, "The remnants of the Sword Sect deserve no pity. If it weren't for them, Mount Hua would still be the strongest sword sect among the Five Mountains. However, considering they were once disciples of Mount Hua, I'll cripple their martial arts and send them off the mountain!"

Linghu Chong was about to take action upon receiving the order, but Feng Buping burst into laughter.

"Yue Buqun, stop pretending to be a gentleman. We know each other well enough. There's no need for this 'playing hard to get' act. I'm afraid I'll die even if I go down the mountain, so why bother with your pretense?"

"Oh, I see. It's because the mask of the Gentleman Sword has been worn for so long that he can no longer face his true self!"

He struggled to his feet, pointed at Yue Yuan not far away, and said, "If it weren't for your two good disciples, today would be the day the Qi Sect perishes. I was just unlucky!"

His words made Yue Buqun's face turn from green to purple in an instant, like a Sichuan opera face-changing act, which was extremely exciting.

After a long while, he finally recovered. "You're right. If it weren't for Chong'er and Yuan'er, my entire Qi Sect would have died here on Mount Hua. And I certainly wouldn't have let you go!"

"Hahaha, that's right, that's more like you, Yue Buqun! So what are we waiting for? Come on!"

After Feng Buping finished speaking, he closed his eyes and waited for death. Cong Buqi and Cheng Buyou also struggled to get up and stood beside Feng Buping.

Yue Buqun snorted coldly upon seeing this, "Chong'er, kill them!"

But Yue Yuan saw that the men still had some backbone, and suddenly he didn't want them to die. These men were good candidates for charging into battle, and they might be a great help to him when he took control of Mount Hua in the future.

Thinking of this, he quickly stepped forward to stop Linghu Chong.

"Wait, Master, I have something to say!"

He looked at the three Sword Sect members beside him and said, "Feng Buping, what would you think if I told you that Feng Qingyang is still alive?"

"What?"

Not only did the three members of the Sword Sect exclaim in surprise, but even Yue Buqun was stunned.

Feng Qingyang was the number one expert of Mount Hua back then. Even when their Qi Sect wanted to eliminate the Sword Sect, they could only trick him into going to Jinling to get married. Facing Feng Qingyang, he had no chance of winning at all.

Feng Buping asked in surprise, "Senior Feng isn't dead?"

Yue Yuan shrugged. "Why would I lie to you? He kicked me off the Cliff of Repentance because he thought I was too noisy up there."

"This...this..."

"What is this? If you can't even speak properly, then stop talking."

He turned to Yue Buqun, cupped his hands, and said, "Grandmaster Uncle must be lonely on the mountain. Master, please spare a few lives and let them serve Grandmaster Uncle!"

His words sounded polite, but in reality, there was no room for negotiation. He was betting that Yue Buqun wouldn't dare to make a move, especially since Yue Buqun was no longer his match.

Sure enough, Yue Buqun panicked as soon as he heard the name Feng Qingyang.

Then all these years they've lived under Feng Qingyang's sword. If Feng Qingyang were to slit their throats in the middle of the night, there would be no way to even cry about it.

He could only nod helplessly, indicating his agreement to let the three of them go up the Cliff of Repentance.

Upon hearing this, the three of them knelt down before him.

Upon seeing this, Yue Yuan leaped behind Linghu Chong.

"What are you doing? I'm of a lower generation. Are you trying to shorten my lifespan so you can defeat me?!"

"Thank you so much, Young Hero Yue, for informing us of Senior Feng's whereabouts. We have no way to repay you but to kowtow to you a few times."

After saying that, Feng Buping slammed his head three times in his direction.

He was speechless. How could these people be so stupid... But then he thought, if they weren't stupid, how could they have been used by Zuo Lengchan?

He shook his head. "You guys should hurry up and leave. Remember to bring some food for your grandmaster. There's not a single bird left on the Cliff of Contemplation."

"We will remember Young Hero Yue's teachings and set off immediately!"

Linghu Chong watched the three figures disappear into the distance and asked, puzzled, "We're just letting them go like that?"

"What else can you do? Have them stay for dinner!"

Linghu Chong glanced in Yue Buqun's direction. "Master seems a little angry. Letting a few people go is like releasing a tiger back into the mountains. What if they come looking for trouble again someday?"

"They're no match for you, so why are you causing trouble? Besides, it's questionable whether Old Feng will even let them down the mountain. As for pleasing Master, aren't you the best at that?"

Before Linghu Chong could even try to appease them, Yue Buqun, seeing the three from the Sword Sect had left, also walked toward the Suoyoubuwei Pavilion with a dark expression.

Today's events dealt a heavy blow to Yue Buqun, as did the three members of the Sword Sect and the people of Songshan. Of course, the biggest blow was to Yue Yuan and Linghu Chong.

With a casual strike, Yue Yuan obliterated the people of Songshan. Linghu Chong's swordsmanship reminded him of the sword genius he once knew.

It seems that the only way to become stronger is through that path.
