“I, Liu Zhengfeng, am about to retire from the underworld. Why are you three stopping me?”

Yue Buqun whispered to Jiang Ning, “The three in front are Ding Mian, Lu Bai and Fei Bin, among the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan Sect.”

Jiang Ning nodded.

“Humph.”

Ding Mian, the leader, said, “Junior Brother Liu, Alliance Leader Zuo has issued an order: Junior Brother Liu cannot retire from the underworld.”

When Ding Mian said this, everyone present was shocked.

Liu Zhengfeng frowned: “Why is this? My desire to retire from the martial arts world is my own private matter. Leader Zuo can’t control it, right?”

“It is true that your desire to retire from the martial arts world has nothing to do with Alliance Leader Zuo, but Alliance Leader Zuo is responsible for the reason why you want to retire from the martial arts world.”

Fei Bin stepped forward and said with a sneer.

Liu Zhengfeng laughed when he heard this. “I, Liu, have already said before that the reason I retired from society is to become an official. Does Alliance Leader Zuo have to intervene? Did my Senior Brother Mo complain to Alliance Leader Zuo and say bad things about me?”

Yue Buqun couldn’t help but frown when he heard this. In such a situation, Liu Zhengfeng could even bring up Mr. Mo Da’s complaint. This showed that the conflict between them was deeper than he had imagined. No wonder Mr. Mo Da didn’t come.

Ding Mian said expressionlessly, “This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Mo Da, and Mr. Mo Da has not complained to Alliance Leader Zuo. Junior Brother Liu doesn’t need to talk nonsense. We are here for other reasons.”

Liu Zhengfeng’s heart skipped a beat.

Lu Bai shouted at this time: “Do you know Qu Yang?!”

Qu Yang?

After hearing this, the confused people present suddenly became agitated and began to whisper to each other.

Liu Zhengfeng was shocked and looked at Ding Mian and others with astonished eyes.

Seeing his appearance, Ding Mian and the other two sneered without saying anything. Fei Bin raised his hand and shouted, “Bring him up!”

There was a commotion when everyone heard this, and then they saw a dozen Songshan Sect disciples escorting several women and young men out from the back hall. These were Liu Zhengfeng’s family members.

Among them is a girl wearing a green dress.

Ok?

When Jiang Ning saw this girl, his eyes narrowed slightly. This girl was the one who had stuck out her tongue and made faces at him before.

At this time, Lu Bai pointed at the girl in the green dress and asked sternly, “Who is that girl? Junior Brother Liu, I don’t need to say more, right?”

“She is Qu Feiyan, the granddaughter of the Demon Cult elder Qu Yang!”

Lu Bai’s words surprised everyone even more, and they all turned their eyes to the girl in the green dress.

“Liu Zhengfeng! Someone from the Demonic Cult actually appeared in your house and played with your daughters and sisters. What else do you have to say?”

Lu Bai asked in a loud voice, “You colluded with the Demon Sect elder Qu Yang and intended to do something bad to our Five Mountains Sword Sect and the righteous path, right?”

Hearing this, before Liu Zhengfeng could say anything, a noise was heard from the side.

Taoist Tianmen stood up, and the armchair behind him was shattered by him. His face was already red, and now it was even redder than before, and he looked furious.

“Junior Brother Liu.”

Taoist Tianmen looked at Liu Zhengfeng and said his name word by word, with suppressed anger in his tone.

He was so angry because his master and his great-grandmaster were both killed by a female elder of the Demon Cult, and he hated the Demon Cult to his heart’s content.

Master Dingyi also stood up, frowned and looked at Liu Zhengfeng without saying a word.

“That’s impossible!”

Liu Zhengfeng’s eyebrows jumped at Lu Bai’s heart-piercing words, and he firmly refuted: “Brother Qu Yang and I are friends because of music, and we have never discussed murdering fellow disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect or the Righteous Path!”

However, his words further confirmed the fact that he had made friends with the Demon Cult elder Qu Yang, and everyone was shocked.

“Confused!”

Ding Mian shouted, “The Demon Cult is the mortal enemy of our righteous sect. In addition to assassinating our righteous masters, they also use money and sex to win us over. You like music, so Qu Yang from the Demon Cult became your friend. Do you think he really made friends with you through music? Have you forgotten the example of Tian Yinzi?”

The world of martial arts is not only about fighting and killing, but also full of intrigue.

The Sun-Moon Sect and the other righteous sects such as the Huashan Sect and the Taishan Sect are two camps where good and evil cannot coexist, just like two opposing countries. In addition to necessary fighting, winning over the top leaders of the enemy camp is also a very practical means.

The Tianyinzi he mentioned was a master of Taishan Sect several decades ago. He loved calligraphy and painting, and it was difficult to win him over with money and beauty, so an elder of the Demon Sect approached him with calligraphy and painting, and finally succeeded in turning him against the sect. When Taishan Sect found out about it, it was too late. This was also a shame for Taishan Sect.

When Tianmen Taoist heard Ding Mian bring up the Taishan Sect’s previous experience, he didn’t say anything, but his face became even gloomier.

“impossible!”

Liu Zhengfeng still loudly refuted: “I don’t believe he is such a person. People can lie, but music can’t!”

Liu Zhengfeng was like a love-sick girl. His words were like those of an ignorant girl defending her scumbag boyfriend by saying that he is not that kind of person and that he truly loves me.

Jiang Ning couldn’t help but shake his head. Those who are involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things clearly. This is true for everyone in the world. They can see the world clearly, but not themselves. When something happens to them, all their previous wisdom and shrewdness disappear. They only believe in their own feelings and believe that they are the exception.

Jiang Ning stepped forward and said, “Uncle Liu, I have been to Yuzhou and heard about Qu Yang. He robbed the tomb of Cai Yong, a minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in Yuzhou, stole Guangling San from it, and massacred Cai Yong’s descendants. Do you want to defend him? Do you still think he is sincere in making friends with you?”

“Yes, Junior Brother Liu, those evil cult thieves have evil intentions. You must not be deceived by them.”

“Yes, as long as you wake up in time and stop associating with the Demon Cult Elder Qu Yang, we will all support you.”

Dingyi and some people from the martial arts world also seemed to try to persuade them.

Liu Zhengfeng didn’t expect Jiang Ning to come out and persuade him. After hearing what Jiang Ning and the others said, Liu Zhengfeng was stunned at first, then shook his head and said, “Jiangning, my nephew, Brother Qu once told me about this. I know that he is obsessed with music, and he is naturally obsessed with the eternal masterpiece Guangling San. But Brother Qu would never do such a thing as slaughtering the descendants of Cai Yong. What you heard must be the slander of others against him.”

“I appreciate your kindness, but I have made up my mind.”

Hearing this, Jiang Ning said no more and took a step back with an expressionless face.

Good words can’t persuade a damn ghost.

“Liu Zhengfeng!”

Fei Bin said coldly: “Having said this, are you still stubborn?”

Ding Mian said, “Junior Brother Liu, Alliance Leader Zuo said that the Demon Cult is insidious. Alliance Leader Zuo believes that you have been deceived by something like this. As long as you are willing to turn back and prove your true intentions with Qu Yang’s head, Alliance Leader Zuo promises that he will not pursue this matter in the future.”

Liu Zhengfeng shook his head: “You don’t understand music, so naturally you don’t understand. Senior Brother Ding, there’s no need to explain.”

I don’t know if all musicians are like this. They would rather believe in music than the most basic behavioral logic of things.

If the two camps are described as politics, then the top leaders of both sides are politicians. Qu Yang was able to fight his way to the position of an elder of the Demon Cult in the environment of the Demon Cult, so he is not a simple person in himself. This kind of person suddenly finds the top leaders of the enemy, interacts with them with the music that they love and are good at, and even persuades them to retire from the world.

Jiang Ning believed that there were indeed such people in the world, but they were very few, especially since both parties were high-ranking officials in their respective camps, the probability was even smaller.

Ding Mian was furious, and Lu Bai drew his sword and pointed it at Liu Zhengfeng’s family, shouting:

“Liu Zhengfeng! We have said all the nice things we can to you, but you still don’t want to turn back?!”

Chapter 79: The Trouble with Yu Canghai

Chapter 79: The Trouble with Yu Canghai

Liu Zhengfeng’s expression changed when he heard this. Looking at the faces of his wife, daughter and son, an expression of struggle and confusion appeared on his face. Finally, he sighed and did not answer.

But silence is the best answer.

“Good, good, good.”

Lu Bai laughed fiercely and said yes repeatedly. The next second, he pointed his sword at the girl in the green skirt and said fiercely: “Tell me, what is your conspiracy of colluding with Liu Zhengfeng!”

Qu Feiyan was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but she looked calm when facing the sharp sword. She laughed and said, “What conspiracy? Didn’t you already determine it? What’s the point of asking me? If I say there is no conspiracy, will you believe it? Will you let Liu Gonggong’s family go? You are asking me now just to get confirmation from me. Is it important? If you want to kill, then kill. The Five Mountains Sword Sect claims to be a famous and upright sect, but they use the old and the young to threaten Liu Gonggong to do something unjust. It’s really eye-opening.”

Lu Bai snorted and laughed: “What a sharp-tongued girl.”

Then he pointed the tip of the sword at Liu Zhengfeng’s wife and said to Liu Zhengfeng in a stern voice: “Liu Zhengfeng, are you going to break off your friendship with Qu Yang or not?”

Liu Zhengfeng’s expression changed, but he remained silent.

“what!”

A scream was heard as Liu Zhengfeng’s wife was stabbed in the heart by Lu Bai’s sword.

“mother!”

“Mother!”

Liu Zhengfeng’s children burst into tears.

Jiang Ning frowned slightly when he saw this scene and moved his fingers, but the next second Jiang Ning realized someone was pulling at the corner of his clothes.

Jiang Ning looked down and found that it was Yue Buqun’s action.

Yue Buqun looked straight ahead without looking at Jiang Ning, but shook his head slightly.

Seeing this scene, the other people in the martial arts world also felt sorry for it.

“Follow the order of the Five Mountains Alliance Leader!”

Ding Mian shouted, took out a yellow flag, and said, “Here is the Five Mountains Flag. Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan Sect has made friends with the Demon Sect elder Qu Yang, and has not repented and is stubborn. Today, my Five Mountains Sword Sect is clearing the way. I ask all my fellow martial artists not to interfere.”

After saying this, Ding Mian looked at Yue Buqun, Tianmen Taoist, and Dingyi and said, “Master Yue, Taoist Tianmen, Master Dingyi, and all the uncles and nephews of Hengshan Sect, if you want to draw a clear line between yourself and Liu Zhengfeng, please move to the left.”

Taoist Tianmen said nothing and walked directly to the left with the people from Taishan Sect without saying a word to Liu Zhengfeng. The same went for Master Dingyi.

“Brother Liu, you…ah.”

Yue Buqun looked at Liu Zhengfeng and shook his head. He didn’t know how to persuade Liu Zhengfeng. Jiang Ning had said it just now, but Liu Zhengfeng still insisted on doing so. He had nothing to say. Then he took Jiang Ning, Ning Zhongze and other people from the Huashan Sect to the side of the Tianmen Taoist and Master Dingyi sects.

Even many disciples of the Hengshan School quietly left Liu Zhengfeng, and only a few of Liu Zhengfeng’s disciples still stood with him.

Lu Bai pointed the bloody sword at Liu Zhengfeng’s daughter Liu Jing and asked with a sneer, “Tell me, when did your Liu family start colluding with the Demon Cult?”

“I bother!”

Liu Jing spat at Lu Bai and angrily cursed, “What’s the difference between your Songshan Sect and the Demon Sect?”

Then he lunged forward and fell on Lu Bai’s sword, which pierced his chest.

“daughter!”

Liu Zhengfeng burst into tears.

Lu Bai wiped the saliva from his face expressionlessly, drew back his sword, and turned to look at Liu Zhengfeng’s eldest son.

“What do you have to say?”

Liu Yin looked numb, with traces of tears on his face. He looked at Liu Zhengfeng not far away. There was no expression on his face, but there was a heartbreaking look on his face.

“Dad, I’ve long said that your friendship with Qu Yang would harm our Liu family sooner or later, but you only love music, and you regard Qu Yang as your lifelong friend. You scolded me for not understanding music and your feelings, and you regarded him as more important than my family. You told me not to talk about Qu Yang anymore, otherwise you would sever the father-son relationship with me. You regard music as your life, and you treat us like old shoes. If that’s the case, why did you give birth to us? Wouldn’t it be better for you to laugh at the world with your best friend?”
