Chapter 170: Some things cannot be said casually. Cutting off your tongue is for your own good!
"Leader Zuo, there are some things you can't say carelessly."

Nun Dingxian spoke with a serious face.

Compared to Zuo Lengchan's personality and what he had done, she was more willing to believe in Jun Zijian's character.

"Master Dingxian, if you don't believe me, you can go ask Master Fangzheng."

Zuo Lengchan was not in a hurry.

"Although Zuo's behavior is somewhat biased, he would not go so far as to speak nonsense and spread rumors and slander in front of fellow martial artists."

Zuo Lengchan sat down slowly and said lightly.

Calm and relaxed.

"If Master Dingxian doesn't believe it, why not ask Yue Buqun?"

"I just don't know if Yue Buqun is a man who will tell the truth."

Zuo Lengchan's words were playful, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"Don't worry, I'll ask."

Nun Dingxian snorted coldly and sat down.

"Then please speak frankly about today's topic, Leader Zuo."

Taoist Chongxu spoke at this time.

"Yes, Alliance Leader Zuo asked us to come all the way to Luoyang. It shouldn't be just to talk about this old incident, right?"

Taoist Priest Tianmen also agreed.

"Now that the people from Huashan Sect haven't arrived yet, could it be that the topic that Alliance Leader Zuo is discussing this time is targeting Huashan?"

Mr. Mo Da, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

No matter what, Liu Zhengfeng is his junior fellow apprentice. Although he had connections with the Demon Cult and was helped by Zuo Lengchan to eliminate demons and defend the Way, he could not openly accuse him of anything.

But Liu Zhengfeng is his junior fellow apprentice, and the one he has always wanted to take over as the head of Hengshan.

Even if he was wrong, his crime was not punishable by death, and it was not the turn of the people from Songshan to execute him.

Therefore, Mo Da had no good feelings towards Zuo Lengchan.

On the other hand, Yue Buqun of Huashan helped Liu Zhengfeng many times. Although Liu Zhengfeng died in the end, he, as his senior brother, had to accept this favor.

I have to pay it back.

Otherwise, if word gets out, wouldn’t everyone in Hengshan be considered ungrateful?
Zuo Lengchan looked at Mo Da.

Three months ago, in the entire Five Mountains Sword Sect, the person he feared the most was not Yue Buqun, but Mo Da.

His immense strength has always made him extra vigilant. He can be said to be the number one person under him in the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

Fortunately, Mo Dashen is elusive and doesn't like the affairs of the underworld, so he seldom gets involved in them.

Although he is more wary of Yue Buqun now, he will never relax his vigilance against Mo Da.

The opponent's strength is also unfathomable. He rarely reveals his true strength, making it difficult for people to figure out his cards.

And such opponents often need to be taken more seriously.

"Although Mr. Mo Da has been away from the martial arts world for a long time, his insight is as sharp as ever."

Zuo Lengchan chuckled, then his expression suddenly became serious, "Yes, this time I want to talk about Huashan's affairs."

"Yue Buqun's eldest disciple colluded with the Demon Cult, and Yue Buqun also protected his own disciple and also interacted with the Demon Cult. I think he had ulterior motives long ago."

"Plus, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds. I'm afraid he has already practiced the Sword Manual of Exorcism and received support from the Demon Cult. His goal is to steal the position of the leader of the Five Mountains, thereby dealing a blow to our righteous path and achieving his long-cherished wish of unifying the martial arts world."

Zuo Lengchan said directly.

"I'm afraid what the leader said is inappropriate."

Nun Dingxian immediately stood up and objected, "We all know Master Yue's character very well. Perhaps his disciples did something out of line, but I think Master Yue would naturally discipline his disciples. As for joining forces with the Demon Cult, I'm afraid it's completely false, right?"

Nun Dingxian expressed her suspicion of Zuo Lengchan without hesitation.

"Master Ding Xian, it's better not to say some things too early."

Zuo Lengchan said indifferently, "I have met Yue Buqun in Fuzhou. This man's swordsmanship is evil. He must have practiced evil swordsmanship."

"Since the Exorcism Sword Technique comes from the Sunflower Manual, I'm afraid Master Ding Xian still doesn't know where the evil lies in the Exorcism Sword Technique?"

Zuo Lengchan sneered.

Upon hearing this, Master Dingxian frowned and felt something was wrong. But she still asked, "What do you mean?"

"Some of you here don't know, but I think Master Fang Zheng must know, right?"

Zuo Lengchan did not answer directly, but looked at Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng's hand holding the Buddhist beads tightened slightly, his eyelids drooped slightly, and after a moment he nodded slightly, "I know a thing or two."

"Hahaha……"

Zuo Lengchan laughed loudly upon hearing this, "In fact, there is no need to ask Master Fang Zheng. The example of the Sunflower Manual is right beside us. Don't you all know what Dongfang Bubai looked like and what price he paid?"

"Since the Sword Manual of Exorcism comes from the Sunflower Manual, then some training requirements are naturally unavoidable."

"What does the leader mean?"

After these words were spoken, everyone looked thoughtful, and then their faces changed.

The sun rises in the east, and I am invincible!
Ever since Dongfang Bubai became the leader of the Demon Cult, his power has been even greater than that of the former Demon Lord Ren Woxing.

Naturally, they had already investigated the information about Dongfang Bubai.

Therefore, it is natural to know that Dongfang Bubai had already castrated himself in order to practice magic skills, making himself neither male nor female.

Since the Sword Manual of Exorcism comes from the Sunflower Manual, shouldn't it be...

Thinking of this, many people felt a chill down their spine.

shudder.

"Leader, what you mean is that Yue Buqun has castrated himself and become a eunuch in order to practice the Manual of Exorcism Sword?"

Yu Jizi of Taishan School said it without any hesitation.

Instead, he gloated over it, "If this is true, it would be a huge scandal for Huashan, the Five Mountains, and even our righteous path!"

At this moment, even Master Dingxian frowned and said, "Whether Sect Leader Yue has practiced the Sword Manual of Exorcism is still unknown. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for us to criticize him like this, right?"

"I agree with what Master Ding Xian said. Master Yue is the head of a sect and has advanced martial arts. It's nothing strange. You can't suspect someone of practicing evil skills just because someone can defeat you, Master Zuo, right?"

Mo Da said calmly.

Zuo Lengchan glanced at Ding Xianyu and Mo Da. These two people always contradicted him.

If it weren't for these two people, he would have been able to unify the Five Mountains long ago.

"Whether it is true or not, we can find Yue Buqun and ask him and we will know."

Yu Jizi interrupted.

The atmosphere at the scene was a little solemn for a moment.

At this time, a steady voice came, "Who wants to ask Yue a question? What do you want to know?"

As the voice was spoken, a tall figure walked in from outside the door.

Ning Yuan walked in with Ning Zhongze, with a long sword on his waist.

"Yue Buqun!"

Upon seeing Yue Buqun, Yu Jizi couldn't help but take a half step back.

After all, he was just saying bad things about someone, and now he has been caught by the real person, so it is inevitable to feel embarrassed.

"Master Yue!"

Mo Da, Ding Xian and Taoist Tianmen all stood up to greet them.

Even Fangzheng and Chongxu nodded slightly.

"Yue Buqun, you came just in time."

Zuo Lengchan still sat in the first seat and did not stand up. His face looked a little ugly. Then he snorted coldly, "Since you are here, I will explain it to you."

"explain?"

Ning Yuan sneered, "Why, Sect Leader Zuo, are you going to publicly try Yue?"

"I don't know what crime Yue has committed? And what is the identity and qualifications of Sect Leader Zuo to interrogate Yue?"

Ning Yuan's words were indifferent and not polite at all.

This made Zuo Lengchan's face even more gloomy.

Obviously, he didn't expect the other party to be so disrespectful to him and not even do the superficial work.

"Yue Buqun, don't assume that others don't know about your practice of the Sword Manual of Exorcism."

Zuo Lengchan simply stopped talking nonsense and made it clear directly.

"I practice the Sword Manual of Exorcism?"

Ning Yuan looked surprised and said to Zuo Lengchan, "I wonder where Sect Leader Zuo heard this rumor from? How could he think that Yue would practice the Sword Manual of Exorcism?"

"My Huashan martial arts are extensive and profound. I haven't even comprehended them completely yet, so how can I have the time to practice other people's martial arts?"

Ning Yuan had never practiced cultivation, so it was reasonable for him to say this.

"Yue Buqun, you don't have to deny it. If you haven't practiced the Sword Manual of Exorcism, how can you break my swordsmanship?" Zuo Lengchan snorted coldly, "Even if you pretend, there are some things that cannot be disguised."

Zuo Lengchan glanced downwards, and everything was self-explanatory.

"nonsense."

Ning Zhongze's face was filled with anger. After all, this was a humiliation to her husband, herself, and Huashan.

"Zuo Lengchan, my senior brother is the head of Huashan. How can I allow you to humiliate him at will?"

Ning Zhongze shouted loudly.

"Lady Ning, you don't have to defend Yue Buqun so much. As his wife, I think you are the one who knows Yue Buqun's physical condition best. He can no longer give you happiness."

Zuo Lengchan said calmly.

Ning Yuan remained calm about this.

Ning Zhongze was furious and could not help but angrily said: "Of course I know best, I am already pregnant with my senior brother's child again, what you said is completely false and slanderous."

"As the leader of a sect, you are so disgraceful to attack your fellow disciples. People in the martial arts world say that you, Zuo Lengchan, are a real villain. I think it is true."

Ning Zhongze scolded angrily.

Given her personality, she would never say something that directly attacks others.

But Zuo Lengchan's words were too extreme.

If she was not the person involved, she might really doubt it, but other people in the world might believe it.

Sometimes, the truth is not important to the general public. They just like to watch the fun, like to see the high and mighty people fall into the dust, and like these gossips.

Even if it is obviously unbelievable, people still talk about it with relish.

Once this rumor spreads, if it is spread too often, it might be taken as true.

Therefore, Ning Zhongze couldn't help but tell his private affairs.

"Lady Ning is pregnant?"

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

Many people looked at Ning Zhongze and Ning Yuan in surprise.

Although Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze are husband and wife, there is nothing unusual about Ning Zhongze's pregnancy, but they have been married for so many years, their daughter is already sixteen or seventeen years old, and they have not had a second child for so many years. It is surprising that she is pregnant again at this time.

"Do you think I would lie about something like this?"

Ning Zhongze snorted, "I just don't want my brother to be slandered by others. Otherwise, why would I talk about such a private matter in public in front of you all?"

"Therefore, Zuo Lengchan's statements are all personal speculation, fabrication, and groundless accusations."

"You said you were pregnant?"

Zuo Lengchan's heart sank when he heard this, but on the surface he snorted coldly, showing his dissatisfaction.

Of course, he couldn't believe the other party just because of what he said.

"Zuo Lengchan, I tolerated you for such a long time, not because you are strong, but just to give you a chance to speak and see what you can say. But now you keep slandering me. Do you really think I have a good temper?"

Ning Yuan finally spoke at this time.

He placed his left hand on the long sword and stared at Zuo Lengchan coldly.

Zuo Lengchan also stood up and looked at him bluntly, "Master Yue, what you said is wrong. The Sword Manual of Exorcism is too deeply involved with Dongfang Bubai's Sunflower Manual. For the sake of the righteousness of the martial arts world, Zuo has to be cautious."

"Although Zuo is unwilling to believe such rumors, and feels that with the character of Master Yue, Gentleman Sword, he would never do such a thing, but people in the martial arts world don't believe it. Without evidence, I'm afraid they will make groundless speculations and create even bigger rumors to slander Master Yue."

"Zuo did all this for the sake of Sect Leader Yue. As long as we can get everything clear today, the rumors will be broken. Isn't that good for Sect Leader Yue?"

Zuo Lengchan said this with a smile on his face.

"Ok?"

Ning Yuan raised his eyebrows, then snorted coldly, "Is it that the people in the martial arts world don't believe it, or does Sect Leader Zuo deliberately want to humiliate Yue?"

"Zuo Lengchan, it seems to me that you have been deliberately spreading rumors to hurt my senior brother. I haven't heard of other people in the martial arts world spreading these rumors."

Ning Zhongze spoke again, coldly.

"Leader Zuo, you've gone too far today."

Nun Dingxian also spoke in agreement.

"I wonder how Alliance Leader Zuo is going to prove it. You can't ask Sect Leader Yue to take off his pants to see, right?"

Suddenly, Yu Jizi from Taishan School spoke with a laugh.

But as soon as she finished her words, a sword energy flashed by.

"what!"

With a scream, Yu Jizi fell to the ground in pain, his mouth full of blood, and then half of his tongue came out.

"My tongue... ah... it hurts!"

Yu Jizi rolled on the ground and his words became unclear.

Taoist Tianmen also stood up suddenly, his face changed drastically, he squatted down and shouted quickly: "Uncle Master, how are you?"

Yuqingzi and Yuyinzi standing by were also shocked and angry, "Yue Buqun, you are so bold that you dare to hurt my brother!"

Zuo Lengchan saw this and immediately shouted, "Yue Buqun, you actually openly hurt the brothers of Taishan Sect in front of so many fellow martial artists. Isn't that too much?"

"Such arrogant behavior, if there were no one else present, wouldn't it be even more arrogant?"

Zuo Lengchan shouted angrily.

Ning Yuan said indifferently: "Yue is the head of Huashan, and he has not made any mistakes. Even if he has made mistakes, it is not his turn to judge, let alone humiliate him."

"To humiliate me is to humiliate Huashan and all the ancestors of Huashan."

"I only cut off his tongue and didn't kill him, because Taishan Sect is one of the Five Mountains."

"Some things should not be said carelessly. Cutting off his tongue is also for his own good, so that he won't get into more trouble in the future and lose his life!"

Ning Yuan said as his eyes fell on Taoist Tianmen, "What do you think, Taoist Tianmen?"

"This……"

Taoist Tianmen frowned. Although it was shameful and offensive to Taishan Sect that Yu Jizi had his tongue cut off in public, the fact was that Yu Jizi was outspoken.

As the head of the sect, he also felt that something was wrong when Yu Jizi said that, and as the person involved, Yue Buqun's anger was understandable.

The leader of a sect cannot be humiliated.

His Taishan sect is not in the right.

"Tianmen, you are the head of my Taishan Sect. Now your uncle's tongue has been cut off in front of you. Don't you want to avenge him?"

"If this gets out, my Taishan Sect will become a laughing stock among fellow martial artists. How can you still sit securely in your position as the Sect Leader? How can the disciples of the Sect be convinced?"

Yu Yinzi immediately started to scold.

They had been coveting the position of the leader of Tianmen, so they would not let go of such an opportunity.

Whether Tianmen goes to fight with Yue Buqun and is killed, or Tianmen does not take action and gives them a handle, it will be beneficial to them.

Therefore, the two of them immediately urged Taoist Tianmen.

Or it could be said to be forcing the emperor to abdicate.

"My two uncles, it was Uncle Yujizi who was rude first."

Taoist Tianmen said hesitantly.

"Tianmen, no matter whether it's reasonable or not, it's our Taishan Sect's business. It's not his turn as the Huashan Sect Leader to teach our Taishan people a lesson."

Yu Yinzi said loudly.

As he said that, he looked at Zuo Lengchan and immediately cried, "Alliance Leader Zuo, you are the leader of the Five Mountains, you should be the one to make the decision for my fellow disciples of the Five Mountains. Yue Buqun hurt my brother, you must intervene!"

"Yes, that's right. Yue Buqun was too cruel. My brother just said something he shouldn't have said. It was just a joke, but he cut off my brother's tongue. If we don't take revenge, our Taishan Sect will become a laughing stock."

"Leader Zuo, you must make the decision for our Taishan Sect!"

Yu Qingzi came in front of Zuo Lengchan and shouted loudly.

"Rest assured, two elders. I, Zuo, will definitely make the decision for Brother Yu and Taishan Sect, and will never allow Yue Buqun to be so presumptuous."

Zuo Lengchan immediately made a loud assurance.

Taoist priest Tianmen looked rather ugly, with his brows furrowed.

By doing this, Yuqingzi and Yuyinzi were putting the leader of Mount Tai on the spot.

Zuo Lengchan's attitude forced him, the leader of Mount Tai, to have no way out and he could only turn against Mount Hua and Yue Buqun.

Otherwise, wouldn’t I become Taishan’s sinner?

As the head of a sect, if I cannot protect my fellow disciples, how can I face the disciples of Mount Tai?

At this moment, the people from Shaolin and Wudang were looking at Ning Yuan in surprise. They obviously didn't expect that Ning Yuan's actions today would leave no room for any maneuver.

This has never happened before.

They are very familiar with Jun Zijian. He is a graceful man who also takes the overall situation into consideration.

But today's impulsive behavior directly and seriously injured the elder of Mount Tai. Although Yu Ji Zi was at fault first, many people still did not expect that he would directly attack and injure others.
