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

Chapter 25 Time to Settle the Accounts, Sister Lin V Sister Yu

Tong Baixiong clapped his hands, and a man in black behind him lifted his cloak and walked to the front of the stage.

The man had a fair complexion and no beard, with sinister eyes. He held a handkerchief in his hand and wiped his face from time to time, behaving in an extremely strange manner.

"Yu Canghai, Yu Canghai, I never imagined you would be after my Lin family's Exorcising Manual. No wonder you refused all the gifts I offered. I should have known better."

Yu Canghai recognized the person instantly, "Lin Zhennan!"

"Are you surprised to see me? Oh, by the way, you didn't manage to kill me back then, do you regret it now?"

Yu Canghai understood the principle that "if you don't kill a snake, it will cause endless trouble."

But he never imagined that this day would come so soon.

Lin Zhennan, holding a handkerchief, gently wiped the sword in his hand and said, "Yu Canghai, why aren't you saying anything? Didn't you want the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual? It's on me, come and get it!"

Seeing Lin Zhennan's provocation, Yu Canghai steeled his heart, drew his long sword, pointed it at Lin Zhennan, and said, "I was able to kill dozens of people from your Fuwei Escort Agency, and I never intended to let you go. I didn't go looking for you, but you still came to me on your own. Then die."

As soon as Yu Canghai finished speaking, he leaped into the air and unleashed his ultimate technique, the Heart-Shattering Palm, at Lin Zhennan, only to have Lin Zhennan easily dodge it.

Then he used the Qingcheng Pine Breeze Sword Technique, but Lin Zhennan was incredibly fast. Yu Canghai's sword didn't even touch the hem of Lin Zhennan's clothes. Lin Zhennan toyed with Yu Canghai like an old cat playing with a mouse.

"With this little skill, you dare to covet the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual? Yu Canghai, you'll pay for the lives of the dozens of people from my Fuwei Escort Agency!"

In an instant, sword light flashed everywhere, and all the onlookers moved away from the battlefield, making way for the two.

Under Lin Zhennan's lightning-fast attacks, Yu Canghai was completely unable to defend himself. After more than a dozen moves, all the tendons in his hands and feet were severed, and he lay on the ground like a dead dog.

Lin Zhennan looked at Yu Canghai lying on the ground and burst into laughter. The laughter was eerie and grating.

"Yu Canghai, Yu Canghai, did you think of this day when you slaughtered my entire family? But suddenly, I don't want you to die. I want you to watch your Qingcheng Sect disciples die one by one in front of you."

"So, who should we kill first?" He held Yu Canghai's head, looking at the group of Qingcheng disciples. "Him, or him?"

The disciples whose swords were pointed at by him all dodged to the sides, afraid of being hit.

Meanwhile, the group of righteous leaders sitting in the back remained silent.

"Heh heh, or how about I kill your son?"

"Renyan, let's go!"

"Go? Is it possible to get away?"

Lin Zhennan released Yu Canghai, and with his sword, he cleaved out a sword aura.

Yu Renyan no longer cared about conserving his strength. He also unleashed a sword aura. The two sword auras collided, and the force of the impact tore apart all the surrounding tables, chairs, and benches, sending dust flying everywhere.

Tong Baixiong pointed at Yu Renyan and mocked the group of righteous people, "These are the righteous people? They all pretend to be virtuous, but in reality, they're full of wicked and immoral thoughts. Where did Yu Renyan get his swordsmanship?"

After being scolded by Tong Baixiong, the hot-tempered Abbess Dingyi could not bear it. She slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "Senior Brother Yue, Senior Brother Tianmen, let's join forces to capture this scoundrel."

Unexpectedly, Yue Buqun closed his folding fan, pointed at Yu Renyan, and said, "Senior Sister Dingyi, Senior Brother Tianmen, the Lin family is indeed the aggrieved party. Let's help them take down Yu Renyan first, so as to restore the reputation of the righteous path. The rest of the clowns are not worth fearing."

Yue Buqun was extremely envious of the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual. Yu Renyan had only practiced it for a short time, yet he already possessed such strength. If he captured Yu Renyan now, he would have plenty of ways to make him reveal the manual.

The Five Sacred Mountains were originally of the same lineage, and now that Yue Buqun proposed to clean house first, Tianmen and Dingyi naturally agreed.

They leaped into the fray, joining the four others, and positioned themselves in four different directions, completely surrounding Yu Renyan.

Upon seeing that he was surrounded by four top experts, Yu Renyan was extremely panicked.

He's just a spoiled brat; even if he mastered the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, he'd only be a slightly stronger one.

He might be able to handle a one-on-one fight, but when faced with the combined attack of several top experts, he immediately lost his confidence. He cupped his hands to the group and said, "Seniors, all of this was done by my father. I am also a victim."

Yue Buqun smiled contemptuously and questioned sternly, "Then where did you learn this Evil-Repelling Sword Technique?"

"Yes, it is..."

Just as he was about to reveal Yue Yuan's identity, Yue Yuan shot out several steel needles, disrupting their positions. He couldn't let Yu Renyan's disguise be exposed.

"Who are you, you coward, hiding your face and showing your face?"

"Hahahaha~~ Yu Renyan, is the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique any good?"

Upon hearing Yue Yuan's voice, Yu Renyan stumbled, pointing in terror at the distant rooftop, "It's him, it's him, he's the one who gave me the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual."

Everyone turned to look, and there appeared on the roof at some point. The Taoist was wearing a dark red Taoist robe, his hair was messy, and his face was covered by a copper coin mask.

The Taoist priest leaped a few times and arrived directly opposite Yu Renyan, looking him up and down.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Sister Yu, how's it like being a woman?"

Yu Renyan had always felt inferior since his disability, and when this was pointed out by him, he was both anxious and angry. In addition, practicing the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual could indeed affect one's mind and drive one insane.

At this moment, Yu Renyan was on the verge of madness.

"Oh, Sister Yu, you want to lay a hand on me? Want me to cut you again?"

Yu Renyan gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment, "If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up like this?"

"Oh dear, you're blaming me? I was only doing it for your own good! I'm so heartbroken, waaaaah~~"

Abbess Dingyi could no longer tolerate his mad behavior. Pointing her sword, she shouted, "You Taoist, how dare you feign madness here! Take this!"

But she was nowhere near Yue Yuan's speed. Yue Yuan caught Yu Renyan and flew onto the roof the moment her sword came at him.

"You can't hit me, oh dear, you can't hit me!"

Master Dingyi wanted to give chase, but Yue Buqun quickly stepped forward to stop her, saying, "Senior Sister Dingyi, this thief has superb lightness skills; we must not act rashly."

He then looked at Yue Yuan and asked, "I wonder why this Taoist priest would save the murderer who killed dozens of people from the Fuwei Escort Agency?"

Yue Yuan rubbed his messy hair and let out a sharp, piercing sound: "Ah~ I recognize you, you are the Huashan Sect Leader, the hypocrite Yue Buqun, hahaha~~ hypocrite."

Yue Buqun's face darkened. "I have never met the Taoist priest. Why are you slandering me like this?"

Yue Yuan covered his copper coin mask. "Oh dear, you're angry! Dare you say you don't covet the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun's face turned black then white, then white then black again, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing that Lao Yue remained silent, Yue Yuan pointed at Lin Zhennan: "Lin Zhennan, what is the first line of the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual? Can you read it to our Sect Leader Yue?"

Lin Zhennan kept his head down, wiping the sword, completely ignoring him.

"Read but not replied? Fine then, Yu, you do it!"

Yu Renyan shook his head vigorously, "No, I won't say, I won't say."

"Hey, since you won't say it, then I will. You'd better listen carefully, especially you hypocrite."

He cleared his throat and then loudly proclaimed, "The first line of the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual is: 'If you wish to practice this divine skill, castrate yourself with your sword.'"

"How about that? Surprising, isn't it? Unexpected, isn't it? Yue Buqun, how about you cut that thing off?"

As soon as he said this, everyone turned their gaze to the sinister and wicked Lin Zhennan.

So that's what he cut that thing off. No wonder he talks like an old man.

At this moment, Lin Zhennan also realized, "Was it you who gave me the booklet that night?"

"How about it? Shouldn't you thank me? If it weren't for me, how would you have gotten your revenge?"

"May I ask your esteemed name, benefactor? I will repay your kindness next time we meet."

Yue Yuan thought for a moment, then squatted down with his hands behind his head. "What's my name? What's my name? Let me think... Hehe, I've got it! Zuowang Dao, Li Huowang."

The Way of Sitting in Oblivion, Li Huowang.

These six words were successfully imprinted in the hearts of everyone present.
