Tian Boguang's Road

  Apart from these three main fighting groups, the battles on both sides were endless and exhausting. The Huashan Sect was outnumbered and at a slight disadvantage.

  In the blink of an eye, Yue Buqun was struck by another sword. The man with the most whiskers, Feng Buping, looked up at the sky and let out a long whistle: "Yue Buqun, look! After all these years, you've turned Mount Hua into this?! Your own martial arts haven't improved, and your disciples are weak and incompetent. You're a degenerate, specializing in scheming and manipulating, bringing our sect to such weakness! Return the Sword Sect's Mount Hua to me!!"

  Ning's family on the side made a false move to distract Cheng Bu'an, and then attacked Feng Buping.

  Feng Bu Ping's swordsmanship was exquisite, with an air of confidence and fearlessness. He laughed and taunted, "Well done, junior sister! Your skills have indeed improved significantly!"

  "Stop, don't make another mistake!" Ning shouted angrily as she wrapped Fan Ping in the Jade Maiden's Nineteenth Sword. "We're both from Mount Hua, if we keep fighting, outsiders will take advantage of our weakness!"

  "Hmph." Feng Buqi's sword dance was neither gentle nor soft, his long sword flashing wildly as he unleashed the Hundred and Eight Styles of the Windy Fast Sword, a technique he had painstakingly practiced. "The Hua Shan sect led by Yue Buqun is not worthy of being called Hua Shan!!"

  The Wind and Thunder Sword has 108 moves, while Ning's Jade Maiden Sword only has 19. The overwhelming numerical advantage quickly puts Ning at a disadvantage. Meanwhile, Cheng You Rou also arrives on the scene, resulting in Ning fighting against two big bearded men.

  Cheng was not worried, with a heart full of shame and humiliation. On one side, he bullied Ning Shi, while on the other side, he sneered: "Yue's great master's management skills are useless, but his choice of wife is quite accurate. Cheng admires him."

  Yue Buqun's face was expressionless, but his heart was filled with resentment. He thought that killing Lao Denuo was too early, and it must be that Zuo Lengchan had already known that he had obtained the sword manual, which is why he instigated the people of the Sword Sect to make a surprise attack before his sword skills were fully developed... As long as he could withstand this wave... there was still hope.

  "Ah!" The Third Battalion heard a woman's scream, and it turned out that Yue Lingxuan had been stabbed in the leg.

  "Sister!" Leng Huachung's heart was in great turmoil, but he couldn't shake off his opponent and was forced to retreat step by step.

  This confusing battle situation made Fang Xian somewhat bewildered, and he subconsciously asked -

  "What do you think of this situation, Yu Yan?"

  "Why do you always ask me?"

  "I'm giving you an opportunity to show your character and intelligence."

  Wang Yu Yan bit her finger and pondered for a moment: "What to do next depends on your ambition."

  "Without ambition, Tian Boguang just wants to laugh proudly in the rivers and lakes."

  "That's what I said, but the condition for getting the other half of the book is still unknown. The first half was given by Lin Pingzhi. This has already gone far beyond the game you played before. In this situation, the more resources you can grasp in your hands, the greater the chance of winning."

  Fang Xian nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the current strategy is no longer effective. Except for the large map which hasn't changed much, all the characters inside have become demonized..."

  "So, the victory condition depends on our own analysis." Wang Yuyan's eyes lit up, "The first half of the book was obtained after helping Lin Pingzi put down his hatred, and the theme is about hatred and forgiveness... while the other half may be about other themes in 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'... but I haven't fully read this book yet..."

  "No need to read on, it's too obvious." Fang Xian clenched his fists, "Power and artistry. In the world of martial arts in 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer', there are only two kinds of people: those who pursue power, like Yue Buqun and Left Cold Mountain; and those who pursue artistry, like Linghu Chong and Mo Da."

  "It seems that our remaining efforts should focus on these two aspects."

  "So...the current situation...should I maximize my own rights?"

  "Hmm." Wang Yuyan nodded heavily, "It's up to you now, Uncle Tian. At this moment, it would be easy to take Yue Buqun's head. This is the true path of a villain. But if we save Huashan Sect at this time, then it would be the hypocritical path."

  "Is there really no way for a true gentleman?!!"

  "Who made you a lone wanderer of ten thousand miles... and yet still a true gentleman..."

  He sank into thought for a while: "Still have to keep Yue Buqun, otherwise Zuo Lengchan will dominate the family. Since we want to fight for power, we naturally have to revolve around the Five Mountains Sword Sect... In order to reshape my Jianghu image and establish my Jianghu prestige... There's no other way!"

  Ning stopped in front of Yue Buqun. Yi Ping and Cheng Yu had already been forced into a corner, their bodies battered and bruised, but still struggling to hold on. Yue Buqun, half-crippled as he was, couldn't offer much assistance.

  Linghu Cong and Yue Lingshan were even more miserable. The soft-footed crab version of Linghu Cong relied solely on a man's bloodlust to fight, in order not to let his little sister get hurt again, he used his body to block the attacks, with blood spraying everywhere.

  "Feng Bu Ping had enough, and finally shouted: "Listen up, Qi Zong disciples! If you put down your weapons now and surrender to my Sword Sect, we will treat you with the same courtesy as our own brothers; but if you continue to resist, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

  As soon as these words came out, the effect was very obvious. The disciples on the periphery were hesitant, and it was just a shrimp soldier and crab general, there was no need to gamble with their lives, and winning would not bring them any credit.

  At this moment, a steady and elegant male voice echoed through Mount Hua.

  "Huashan disciples, listen up! If you put down your swords now and surrender to me, Tianzong, I will treat you with the same courtesy as my own brothers. But if you continue to resist stubbornly, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!"

  At the same time, a white-robed hero floated down from the sky, holding a braided girl.

  Yue Buqun's expression turned stern, his eyes fixed intently on Tian Boguang, his heart as cold as ashes. Today was a day when all his enemies had gathered together.

  Ning thought it was just some high-ranking official who had arrived and didn't associate the aura with Tian Boguang, the Lone Traveler of Ten Thousand Miles.

  Linghu Chong was overjoyed: "Tian Daxia! You've saved me from Mount Hua!"

  Yue Lingxuan was enraged because his father said Tian Boguang killed Lin Pingzhi: "You scoundrel! How dare you still come to Mount Hua!"

  Covered in a calm and collected manner, they had been dormant for so many years, not daring to take any risks. From the agility of this figure's movements, it was clear that he was an extremely ruthless individual. At this moment, the three big beards also retracted their sword moves, using stillness to control the situation.

  "Ugh... looking at your reactions, you're really stupid. Yuelingshan, why don't you just die?" Fang Xian put down Hatsune Miku, turned around and grasped his sword, facing the three bearded men, "Go back and tell Zuo Lengchan that once he completes the Evil-Expelling Sword Manual, I, Tian Boguang, will personally exchange blows with him. Don't let these stray dogs come out and cause trouble."

  "Who are you calling a stray cat and dog!" Cong Buqi was about to get angry when he was stopped by his senior brother, Cheng Bu You.

  "Junior brother... this villain doesn't seem to be ordinary, let's take a look..."

  Feng Buping stepped forward and said, "What's the matter with Guan Zong's cold and stern expression? This is a family affair, let us handle it ourselves. Tian Daxia, this is an internal matter of Mount Hua, we brothers all admire your reputation in Jianghu. Now that we are purging our sect, as the leader of Wulin, you must have come today to observe and bear witness?"

  "What a sharp tongue!" Fang Xian said, two sentences that made himself a generation of rascals rise to the sky, making it difficult for him to participate in it.

  At this time, it's up to Yu Yan again.

  "Feng Qianbei, you should know that after Jianzong was defeated by Qizong more than ten years ago, it announced its withdrawal from Huashan. In other words, you are no longer part of the Huashan faction now. You are neither a Huashan person nor an insider, so where does this internal conflict come from? Don't distort the facts!"

  Three big beards took a step back at the same time: "As expected of Hatsune Miku!"

  Fang Xian also felt a sense of melancholy, the hypocritical route is just a bit more refined - everything is proper and in order, making it seem like whatever he does is correct. For many years, Yue Buqun has indeed been doing this, tirelessly creating a positive image of himself on the big stage, to the point where people have formed a habitual impression of his character, so that no matter what he does, it's always right.

  Feng Bu Ping calmed down and stepped forward, saying: "Since ancient times, the winner becomes king and the loser becomes a bandit. My Sword Sect lost in the decisive battle, so it's not unreasonable to retreat from the mountain. However, now that Yue Buqun is poorly managing the sect, Mount Hua can't produce any more talented individuals. At this time, it's appropriate to change the dynasty."

  Cheng Bu You stroked his small mustache, his beady eyes fixed on Wang Yu Yan as he smiled and said: "Today, no one can stop us. Tian Bo Guang, Chu Yin sister, if you insist on meddling, don't blame us for being unreasonable!"

  Cong Buqi wants to enhance his presence: "Don't blame us for being unreasonable!"

  It's Tian Boguang's turn now.

  He drew his sword, with a heroic spirit in his eyebrows.

  "I am a member of the orthodox school of martial arts, and we are all connected by a common breath! How can I, Tian certain, sit back and watch Huashan fall without taking action?! You have gone too far in your pursuit of power, and have become indistinguishable from the demonic sect. If you were to occupy Huashan, would there be any peace left in the martial arts world?!"

  "Good!" Linghu Chong's wound spouted blood as he applauded and exclaimed, "I told you, Shifu, Tian Boguang is a good person."

  Yue Lingshan was finally moved: "It seems... he didn't need to kill Little Linzi."

  Ning's eyes widened in shock and she was speechless. The once carefree Tian Boguang, who had traveled thousands of miles alone, had actually done such a thing. It would take her a long time to digest this.

  Only Yu Fang didn't look well, his face had lost even more color. He could see clearly that Tian Boguang was doing all this not for the sake of Huashan's fame. If he succeeded in making a name for himself through this move, the consequences would be unthinkable. In this desperate situation, he chose to turn the tables:

  "Cough... cough... Tian Boguang! Don't pretend to be a good person!" Yue Buqun spat out a mouthful of blood in anger, "You killed my Huashan disciple Lin Pingzhi, snatched the Evil Sword Spectrum, and kidnapped Chunyin girl. In the martial arts world, everyone can kill you! Even if Huashan is poor and I, Yue, am incompetent, we don't need you to... Cough..."

  Yue Buqun portrayed the resentful gaze and the mournful howl of justice to perfection, almost deceiving Fang Zhen himself.

  "Never mind..." Ning held onto her husband and consoled him, "As long as the green hills remain, we won't worry about having no firewood to burn."

  Yue Buqun sternly shouted: "Since ancient times, good and evil have never coexisted. If today this wicked person uses the Evil Vanquishing Sword to help us defend Mount Hua, how can our Mount Hua still be called a righteous sect of the martial world?"

  What a "hating evil as an enemy", "single-minded" Grandmaster Yue.

  Linghu Chong has really become "single-minded", completely unaware that this is a public opinion struggle between Tian Boguang and Yue Buqun. At this time, he only feels that Tian Boguang's chivalrous bones have been misunderstood by his master, which is very sad, and this young man who pursues truth cannot bear it.

  "Master!" Linghu Chong spat out blood as he knelt down, "Master! Tian Daxia is a truly good person! Don't misunderstand him again. Although he bears the notorious title of 'Flower Plundering Thief', I've never heard of him bullying any woman from any family. Recent events have proven time and time again that everything Tian Daxia has done is for the sake of the martial arts world!"
