Yue Buqun was injured on his waist and back, and with the internal poison attacking his heart, his strength had greatly decreased. He struggled to get up and activated the Purple Mist inner energy to resist, but the more he used his inner energy, the worse the poison became. If he didn't use his inner energy, he would be chopped to death by Tian Boguang's chaotic knife.

  "Tian Uncle has got the old thief surrounded! Brother Biao, cut off his retreat!" Wang Yuyan saw the sudden turn of events and began directing again.

  Murong Fu followed the natural way, and his cousin's creation was also welcomed. He blocked Yue Buqun's escape route and took advantage of the gap to launch a sneak attack.

  It's really a bloody battle now.

  Yue Buqun's white shirt had been cut open in several places, with blood flowing freely, looking very disheveled. Murong Fu also occasionally shot cold arrows at him, making him extremely miserable.

  In the blink of an eye, Yue Buqun had been backed into a corner, his face's purple energy also in disarray.

  "Tiān Bó Guāng! Why are you forcing me to death!" Yue Buqun's face was ferocious, making a final resistance.

  "Right and wrong cannot coexist, I won't give you the sword manual." Fang Xian's knife skills didn't stop, in a fierce battle that was almost cruel, he felt his knife skills had improved slightly.

  "You're a discerning person, how can you not know that in this world there's no distinction between good and evil!" Yue Buqun struggled to resist, "If you spare Yue today, when Yue achieves great things in the future, he will certainly remember Tian Boguang's kindness!"

  "Cut the crap! If you succeed, I'll be out of a job!"

  "Why? You be your mistress, I'll be my master, what contradiction is there to speak of?"

  "In the martial arts world, no one family should dominate!"

  Why?

  "Passed down through generations, without competition, in the future your Huashan Sect will become tyrannical and lawless, and the martial world will no longer be fair!"

  Yue Buqun was stabbed again and if things continued like this, he would be dead in a few moves. So he said the most sincere words of his life.

  "Yue Certain obtained the sword manual, and must become a eunuch. Yue Certain has no descendants, and there is only one young daughter in the family. If you spare me today, I will marry my young daughter to you. Whether or not you love her doesn't matter... as long as she gives birth to a son... In the future, Yue Certain can only pass on the position of leader to the heir of your Tian family. From then on, the martial world will be yours, the Tian family's!"

  "What!" Fang Xian's whole body shook with a sudden movement, "How did another father-in-law come out!! Does everyone in the world want to be my father-in-law?!"

  In desperation, Yue Buqun finally played his last trump card.

  "Murong, little brother. Don't kill him yet!" Fang Xian waved his arm to stop Murong Fu's sword move, deliberately putting on a worried expression to test Murong Fu's attitude.

  "Murong Fu is naturally an extremely intelligent person, but does Yuke have a trump card that he doesn't? 'Brother Tian, Yuke has already reached the end of his rope. His vision is limited to only the Five Mountains Sword Sect... My Murong family of Suzhou wants to reclaim our nation and seize the throne! Similarly, if I obtain the sword manual, I will definitely use a grand procession to bring my sister-in-law into your Tian Manor as a bride, with betrothal gifts... Within the borders of my Great Yan Empire, you will be the supreme ruler of the martial arts world, the Grand Marshal who protects the nation!'"

  Fang Xian turned his head and glanced at Wang Yu Yan's expression. This girl's expression didn't change in the slightest, as if she had expected this scene all along.

  "Wait!!" Yue Buqun suddenly reacted. "Could it be that the newcomer is Nan Murong? Murong Shaoxia?!"

  "That's right."

  Yue Buqun suddenly flashed a sinister smile: "Murong Shaoxia, you and I are the same kind of people. My eyes are on the martial arts world, your eyes are on the throne, we should join forces to achieve our goals, why bother with this lecher?"

  "Hmph." Murong Fu sneered, his sword held horizontally. "The Murong family doesn't need an ally who constantly changes sides. We don't need a hypocritical ally either. Compared to that, I'd rather join hands with a true villain."

  Fang Xian nodded slightly, fortunately, Murong Fu's mind was clear. He knew who to trust and who not to trust.

  Yue Buqun's expression suddenly turned stern, and he pointed behind the two of them, shouting: "Someone!!"

  Just as Fang Xian was about to scold him for being a deceitful idiot, he truly felt a strange movement behind him.

  "Not good!" Fang Xian didn't hesitate and turned around to rush towards Wang Yu Yan, he couldn't lose her again.

  But saw Wang Yuyan standing still on the spot, completely unaware of what had happened.

  Murong Fu "Hmm?" turned his head back and saw a black shadow rushing towards... Lauderno's corpse!

  Yue Buqun seized this fleeting opportunity and shouted "Flowing Star Descends!", simultaneously stabbing his sword extremely quickly towards Murong Fu.

  "What!" Murong Fu was flustered for a moment, dodged to the side in a hurry, and then slapped his forehead and cursed loudly, "I've been tricked!"

  Yue Buqun had already escaped using his Mount Hua Body Shift technique.

  Fang Xian wants to guard Yu Yan, defend against strange people, and naturally won't chase.

  Murong Fu's moves are fierce, but his agility is average. Seeing that Yue Buqun has already escaped with his life, he can only gaze after him in admiration. It's strange that he knows too much, although he doesn't have the Evil-Expelling Sword Manual, he has heard of the sword moves inside it. The "Flowing Star Falling" that Yue Buqun shouted out earlier is actually the first move of the Evil-Expelling Sword Manual... Murong Fu was so flustered and panicked that he didn't dare to take the move head-on. Now thinking about it, how could Yue Buqun have practiced it so quickly? He must have hastily flipped through the manual and shouted out a fake move to intimidate him.

  So, calling out the name of a move before using it isn't stupid after all, and can actually be useful if done well.

  Looking again at the courtyard, the black shadow grabbed Laodeno's body and quickly escaped without any hesitation. Fang Xian saw that he had a steady breath and stable footsteps, also an old and cunning master, didn't dare to act rashly.

  And so, in an instant, the Lin family's ancestral home was quiet once again.

  Murong Fu sighed deeply and lamented: "What a pity... what a pity... the sword manual that was within my grasp has flown away."

  "Whose corpse did Laodan invite?"

  "Brother, are you okay?" Wang Yu Yan stared at her brother in a daze.

  "Hmm." Murong Fu's expression was cold and indifferent as he walked up to Lin Ping's side. "Young brother, you've suffered."

  Lin Ping got up dazedly, these few rounds of sudden changes left him somewhat at a loss.

  Murong Fu turned and rushed towards Fang Xian: "Tian brother, now that the sword manual has been taken away by Yue Buqun, it seems that our Huashan School is doomed."

  "That's right, we can't give him time to practice." Fang Xian nodded in agreement, it seemed that the dispute over the sword manual was far from over.

  "Hmph, I don't think it's necessary anymore." The speaker was Lin Pingzhi. No one had paid attention to him lying on the ground for half a day, and his bleeding had already stopped. "These thieves coveted my family's sword manual, but they didn't know that after all their struggles, it was actually a fake!"

  "Oh?!" Fang Xian, Wang Yu, Yan Mu and Cong Furen were shocked at the same time, exclaiming, "You still have this mind!?"

  "This time, Lin Ping smiled slightly: "Not bad, after so many things have happened, how could I still trust others easily? I had already prepared a fake sword manual beforehand. Pretending to find the sword manual and letting Lord Nuo see it, he didn't know that except for the eight characters 'to practice divine power, one must first castrate oneself', everything else was fabricated nonsense."

  "Great..." Fang Xian exclaimed in admiration, "It seems you haven't become a complete idiot yet."

  Lin Pingzi made an effort to get up and rushed towards Fang Xian, saying: "I misunderstood Tian Daxia earlier. I hope Daxia won't blame me!"

  "To be honest, I... " Fang Xian also shook his head with a bit of embarrassment, "At that time, I saw your determination and intended to kill you to silence you, not letting the sword manual fall into evil hands."

  Lin Pingzhi smiled freely: "That's right, that's why I respect you. That's why I believe you are a true hero who is truly dedicated to the peace of Jianghu, if you were determined to seize the sword spectrum, before getting the sword spectrum, it would be impossible for Lin Pingzhi to die."

  Unexpectedly, this unintentional move won Lin Pingzhi's trust.

  Murong Fu's attention was elsewhere: "Strange... Lin brothers, you said the sword manual is fake, but just now, Yue Buqun shouted out 'Flowing Star Falling'. Isn't that clearly a move from the genuine sword manual?"

  "This brother, can you recognize the sword manual of my family?" Lin Pingzhi was slightly surprised.

  "This is the master of the Suzhou Murong family, who knows all about martial arts in the world." Fang Xian finally helped to introduce.

  Lin Pingzi made an effort to get up and went to the ancestral hall: "I'll go take a look first... whether the sword spectrum is there or not..."?

  Three people helped him in. Under the spirit tablet of Lin Yuan, there was a mechanism. Lin Ping opened it with a strange technique, and inside was a golden sword manual.

  Lin Pingzhi took out the sword manual and flipped through it: "That's right, this is the real one."

  "May I borrow a read?" Murong Fu was clearly eager and impatient.

  Lin Ping turned to look at Fang Xian. Now in his heart, he could probably only believe in Tian Daxia alone.

  "We're all on the same side. Don't worry." Fang Xian nodded slightly.

  Lin Pingzhi finally handed the sword manual to Murong Fu, who stared at it with wide eyes for a long time. A surge of blood rushed to his face as he hastily closed the manual: "No wonder, this is indeed genuine. I had just begun practicing according to its principles when I felt an unusual sensation in my body. It seems... that one must castrate oneself to continue practicing."

  He then returned the sword manual intact to Lin Pingzhi.

  "May I take a look?" Wang Yuyan was also very curious.

  "Hatsune Miku is of course free to watch!" Lin Pingzhi gave it to her this time without hesitation, and Hatsune Miku's halo was majestic.

  Murong Fu was thinking of something else at this time: "It seems that the one Yue Buqun got is also fake... But his sword spectrum notes 'Flowing Star Falling' this move, which is obviously not the same as the one forged by Lin brothers... I guess... there might be more to it."

  "Anything else?" Fang Xian pondered for a moment, thinking of Lord Nuo's body being taken away, and suddenly realized, "You mean... Lord Nuo! He also secretly replaced the sword manual?!"

  "It can only be like this...” Murong Fu was also shocked, it's too messy in here, "Earlier, Brother Tian, you told me about the power struggle within the Five Mountains Sword Sect, among which Mount Song and Mount Hua are the most ruthless. The leader of Mount Song, Left Cold Tranquility, and the leader of Mount Hua, Yue Buqun, are also the most ruthless. Just now, Labor De Nuo self-destructed as a gap in Mount Song's defense, obtaining the sword manual but not escaping, instead shouting loudly here, if nothing unexpected happens, this is for...”

  "Bring out Yuezong!" Fang Xian patted his head, "Is this a trick of desperation? This is clearly just a scheme to sell himself off!"

  "Not bad, this is a desperate plan... Lao Denuo knew long ago that Yue Buqun would definitely return, and all the things he did were just for Yue Buqun to see. Once Yue Buqun appeared and killed him to take away the fake sword manual, he would start practicing and get rid of his biggest worry in life... I suppose the fake sword manual forged by Songshan is not as simple as Lin brothers', it will definitely make people go crazy...". Murong Fu said while sweating profusely, if they had killed Yue Buqun and taken away the sword manual just now, the one who would have been crippled might very well be himself, Murong Fu.

  "So it seems that in the end, the one who took away Lordano's body should be..."

  Lin Ping suddenly became clever: "Zuō Lěng Chuān?"?

  Murong Fu sighed, "It's either Zuo Lengchan or someone from Songshan. Logically speaking, he should have waited for us to leave before making a move. Perhaps because he saw too many people arriving tonight, he was afraid we would kill Yue Buqun and then examine the body of Laborde, so in his haste, he made his move first, carrying the body away... Lin Pingzhi's forged sword manual should still be on Laborde's person."

  Lin Ping's face was filled with regret: "For the sake of my family's sword manual, these people can actually scheme to this extent. At first, I fought against Yu Canghai, thinking that cultivating martial arts would allow me to personally kill that old thief... Then it was Mu Gaofeng, I thought I could use that camel... Later on, it was Yue Buqun, I fell for his treacherous plan and wronged Tian Daxia... It turns out that in the end, there is still a Laodenuo, a Zuo Lengchan. I indeed cannot defeat them..."

  Murong Fu smiled: "Wrong, in the end it was me, just now I have already memorized the entire sword spectrum."
