Chapter 1526: Retire from the Underworld (Decided to save stones for Tingyun)

Compared to Zhang Sanfeng's 100th birthday, Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony seemed much more lively. This is not to say that Liu Zhengfeng is more popular than Zhang Sanfeng, but because he did invite a lot of people. As for Zhang Sanfeng, he didn't invite anyone because he wanted to celebrate his birthday quietly, and even if others knew that Zhang Sanfeng was 100 years old, they didn't dare to disturb the celebration.

After all, they didn't invite you, so it would be obviously impolite if you go there, and it would be like trying to get in.

Of course, a strong person like Duanmu Huai would not care about such things. The main point is that if you want to rub it, you can rub it. If you rub it, it is a gift to you.

Liu Zhengfeng, on the other hand, sent out invitations widely and turned the retirement conference into a large-scale event. Therefore, in addition to the leaders of various factions, there were also many people from all walks of life. The entire Liu Mansion was crowded and extremely noisy.

However, when Duanmu Huai, Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu appeared in front of the guests, the noise in the originally noisy Liu Mansion immediately became much quieter.

A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Duanmu Huai has been in the Northern Wulin for a while and has done many earth-shaking things, not to mention that he recently killed the head of the Qingcheng Sect, Yu Canghai, and burned the entire Qingcheng Sect, making the Qingcheng Sect completely exterminated from the entire Northern Wulin. Once again, people realized that the name of this immortal killer god is not false.

Therefore, even though those martial arts disciples were staring at Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu until their souls were almost gone, no one dared to go up and cause trouble, for fear that if they were not careful, their sect would follow in the footsteps of the Qingcheng Sect.

However, some of the wushu people had somewhat strange expressions. These people had been to Zhang Zhenren's birthday banquet before, and they were also grumbling in their hearts. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand why Duanmu Huai went to celebrate Zhang Sanfeng's birthday. After all, Zhang Sanfeng is a benchmark figure in the northern martial arts world, and he is highly respected. It is not unreasonable for Duanmu Huai to celebrate his birthday.

But Liu Zhengfeng is only the deputy leader of Hengshan Sect, and his fame and status are not comparable to Zhang Zhenren. Strictly speaking, Duanmu Huai's fame and status in the martial arts world are much stronger than Liu Zhengfeng. Didn't you see that at Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony, even the Five Mountains Sword Sects only had their deputy leaders come, and only the leader of Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun, came in person to congratulate him, which was already a face for Liu Zhengfeng.

And Duanmu Huai actually came to Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony?

What is he here for?
In fact, even Liu Zhengfeng didn't know why Duanmu Huai came. When he heard that the Immortal Killer God had come to his door, his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that the Liu Mansion or the Hengshan Sect had offended the Immortal Killer God in some way, and the other party was here to cause trouble?
That shouldn't be the case. Even when it came to the incident with Master Zhang, the Hengshan Sect didn't participate. After all, they had no interest in the Dragon Slaying Sword, and Xie Xun didn't kill any of their people. The Sect Leader, Mr. Mo Da, was just slacking off, and Liu Zhengfeng certainly didn't want to get involved in such trivial matters.

Later, when Liu Zhengfeng learned about what happened at the birthday party, he was relieved. Fortunately, he did not go to Master Zhang's birthday party to cause trouble, otherwise he would have been in trouble if he had offended this evil star.

So now the Immortal God of Death has come to our door?

After calming down his inner anxiety, Liu Zhengfeng hurried out to greet them in person.

"I didn't know that His Excellency the Immortal God of Killing had arrived. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me..."

"You're welcome, Mr. Liu."

Looking at Liu Zhengfeng, Duanmu Huai also laughed and waved his hand.

"I came here mainly to see the excitement. After all, I haven't seen what the Golden Basin Retirement Conference is like. Mr. Liu won't blame me for coming uninvited, right?"

"That's not true. It's a great honor for me to have you here. ..."

Hearing that Duanmu Huai came to join in the fun, Liu Zhengfeng was relieved. Indeed, retiring from martial arts was not common in the martial arts world. This immortal killer was not very old and had probably never seen anything like it. It was understandable that he was curious and wanted to come and see the fun.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhengfeng finally felt relieved. He felt like he had survived a disaster, as if he was being taken to the execution ground at 12:30 p.m. and was about to be beheaded when someone shouted "spare his life".

There's no way around it, Duanmu Huai just gives people such a strong sense of oppression.

So Liu Zhengfeng immediately arranged seats for Duanmu Huai and the other three. Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu were actually quite curious about this ceremony, after all, they had never seen such a scene before.

Duanmu Huai sat on a chair, just drinking tea and watching the show, while the two women were talking in low voices beside him. The people around him didn't dare to approach Duanmu Huai to chat, and tacitly made way for him, which gave Duanmu Huai some peace and quiet.

Not long after that, an official also arrived with government officials. As a result, he was ordered by the emperor to give Liu Zhengfeng the title of Lieutenant General. This scene also made many heroes who came to congratulate him look complicated, not knowing what to say. After all, the martial arts world and the government have never been on good terms, and Liu Zhengfeng, as the deputy head of the Hengshan School, actually wanted to be promoted after retiring. This made many martial arts people feel betrayed, and they were somewhat disdainful of Liu Zhengfeng himself.

However, in Duanmu Huai's opinion, Liu Zhengfeng's move was not bad. After all, there are many people in the martial arts world who have enemies. Although it is reasonable that after retiring, they will not be involved in the affairs of the martial arts world, and they will not have anything to do with the martial arts feuds. But there is no such a good thing. It's like a gang feud. If you kill the gang leader and go to jail, will they not kill you?

How can such a good thing happen? After you are released from prison, won't you still be punished? The law's judgment on you is a matter of law. What does it have to do with gang vendettas?
This kind of rules are only followed by people who care about face. If you don’t care about face, no one will care whether you have retired or not.

Moreover, after retiring from the underworld, the Hengshan Sect is no longer Liu Zhengfeng's backer. If he doesn't find a new backer, won't he be killed sooner or later?

On the other hand, being an official is much better. After all, most people still respect the government. Unless there is a blood feud, they will not cause trouble for officials at will.

Moreover, the position of Lieutenant General was not bad. Duanmu Huai asked Wang Yuyan and learned that Lieutenant General was a third-rank military officer, second only to the general and deputy general. This was not a ninth-rank official. It could be seen that Liu Zhengfeng had put in a lot of effort for this.

Liu Zhengfeng also knelt down to express his gratitude, and then sent the other party away.

After this episode, the atmosphere was a little awkward, but Liu Zhengfeng didn't seem to mind it. He smiled and asked everyone to take a seat, and then he talked about being an official from now on, not caring about the affairs of the underworld, and leaving the Hengshan Sect, etc. Then he raised his hand, and then someone brought up a golden basin.

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai's eyes lit up.

"Hey, tell me, is this basin made of pure gold? Or is it gold-plated?"

Hearing this, Xiaolongnu looked around curiously, while Wang Yuyan was speechless.

“……………Is this all you care about, sir?”

"Who else can I care about? Wash your hands with a golden basin. I didn't expect that you would actually use a golden basin to wash your hands... This means you are really rich..."

Duanmu Huai shook his head with emotion as he spoke, just waiting for Liu Zhengfeng to retire so that he could feast on the delicious food and wine.

But just as Liu Zhengfeng was about to put his hand into the basin, he heard someone outside the door suddenly shouting.

"stop!"

Along with the voice, several men in yellow shirts strode in, the leader holding a five-colored silk banner. Seeing this, everyone present also understood that it was the Songshan School of the Five Mountains Sword Sects that had arrived.

"Here is the Five Mountains Sword Sect's flag. Following the order from the Left Alliance Leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, please postpone Uncle Liu's retirement from the martial arts world for now."

Hearing this, everyone around was shocked, and Liu Zhengfeng was obviously a little surprised as well.

"What is the meaning of this order from Alliance Leader Zuo? If there is anything wrong with it, please let me know."

"no need."

I saw that the disciple was also holding the command flag and waving his hand violently.

"Following the orders of the leader, keep an eye on the Liu family members and don't let anyone escape!"

Hearing this, all the heroes were shocked, and Liu Zhengfeng's face darkened.

"You, what do you mean!"

As they were talking, more than a dozen people came out from the back hall. They were Liu Zhengfeng's wife, children, and disciples. Behind each of them was a Songshan disciple, who was holding a dagger against the former's back.

Seeing this, many people have frowned. Although Liu Zhengfeng is going to be an official, most people are unhappy with his choice, but it is also his personal choice. But now the Songshan Sect is so aggressive, even threatening Liu Zhengfeng's family, which is really too much. Liu Zhengfeng's face is even more livid, staring fiercely at the Songshan disciples in front of him, and said.

"The heroes of the world are here. If you dare to touch a hair of my son, all your dozens of Songshan disciples will be turned into pulp!"

After saying this, Liu Zhengfeng reached out to the basin again, and at the same time, a hidden weapon suddenly shot out, forcing Liu Zhengfeng to step back. Then, several people jumped down again and blocked Liu Zhengfeng.

"By order of the leader, Senior Brother Liu cannot retire!"

Everyone looked at them and saw that these people were all masters of Songshan School. Judging from their aggressive appearance, they came with bad intentions. Liu Zhengfeng also frowned and looked serious.

"What exactly are you guys up to? If you want to deal with Liu, I'm afraid a few of you will be enough. But if you want to deal with Hengshan Sect and the heroes here, I'm afraid Songshan Sect may not be enough!"

Facing Liu Zhengfeng's angry rebuke, the leading man chuckled.

"Brother Liu, why do you have to sow discord? The Songshan Sect would never dare to cross the Hengshan Sect, nor would we dare to offend any hero here. I am only here to ask Brother Liu not to retire for the sake of the lives and property of millions of fellow martial artists in the martial arts world."

Hearing this, everyone was speechless, wondering how Liu Zhengfeng could have involved the lives and property of millions of fellow martial artists when he retired from martial arts. Even if Liu Zhengfeng was a little famous, how could he have done such a big thing?
Seeing this, the leading disciple of the Songshan School chuckled and was about to speak, but unexpectedly a voice rang out.

"Why are you pretending to be so arrogant? In the final analysis, it's just that Zuo Lengchan, that old bastard, found out that Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang were secretly communicating with each other, so he deliberately made this happen to slander Liu Zhengfeng for colluding with the Sun Moon Sect."

what?
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. They turned around and saw Duanmu Huai standing up and looking coldly at the people from Songshan School.

"I'm here to have a feast. I don't have time to listen to the nonsense of you Songshan Sect bastards. Even if Zuo Lengchan wants to cause trouble, he can't fucking prevent me from eating!"

"Your Excellency is wrong......"

Facing Duanmu Huai, the Songshan disciple lost his previous dignity, and even his voice trembled. Even so, he still gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Since ancient times, good and evil cannot coexist. The Demon Cult has been harming our northern martial arts world for a long time. As the deputy head of the Hengshan Sect, Uncle Liu has made a big mistake by associating with the elders of the Demon Cult..."

"Good and evil cannot coexist?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai sneered, walked up to the Songshan disciple and stared at him.

"So what do you think, am I good or evil?"

"this……………"

Facing Duanmu Huai's question, the Songshan disciple, the Great Songyang Hand Fei Bin, also broke out in a cold sweat.

This is a damn fatal question! It seems that no matter how you answer, you will die!

"Good? Evil? Where does good and evil come from in the martial arts world? In the final analysis, whoever has the bigger fist is right, right? What's the matter? You think you can control Liu Zhengfeng, so you come here so arrogantly to mess things up? Zuo Lengchan is so impressive, why doesn't he go and mess up the place of Dongfang Bubai, that androgynous dead demon! Huh? You're picking on the weak, right? I'm going to say this right here. Today, you Songshan Sect have offended me, and I'm going to destroy you when I get back! Aren't you from the Five Mountains Sword Sect, and you're of the same blood? Fine! Come on if you can, I want to see how many people from your Five Mountains Sword Sect are enough for me to kill!"

When he said the last word "kill", Duanmu Huai suddenly raised his voice. For a moment, everyone felt as if a muffled thunder exploded in their ears, and their minds were full of "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!" For a moment, they only felt the sky and the earth changing color, and everything around them was blood red, as if everyone, including themselves, had turned into a bloody corpse, as if this was a battlefield with the sound of killing, and it would be either you die or I die!

Several people could not hold on any longer and fainted. The others were also greatly shocked and stepped back. They stared at each other, still terrified, thinking.

This immortal killing god is indeed worthy of his reputation. The murderous aura he displays is as real as a substance. It is impossible for him to emit such a momentum if he had not killed tens of thousands of people.

Fei Bin was in a dilemma at the moment. He was sweating all over and gritting his teeth.

"Your Excellency, do you intend to go against the thousands of fellow practitioners in the Northern Wulin?"

"So what? I have killed 10,000 people in Xiwulin, and I still think that's not enough! So what? If you are not afraid of death, come with me. I will kill them all! Today is not Master Zhang's birthday. I have no taboos about killing people!"

Damn, this guy is a fucking lunatic!
At this moment, the others retreated one after another. If someone else said this, they would just think that they were crazy, but when Duanmu Huai said this, they dared not disbelieve it!

Because they really dare to kill!

Fei Bin was silent for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and raised the command flag.

"Since ancient times, good and evil cannot coexist. The hatred between the Demon Sect and my Five Mountains Sword Sect is as deep as the sea and we cannot live together. All my fellow Five Mountains disciples will kill him together......!"

"boom!"

However, before Fei Bin could finish his words, Duanmu Huai grabbed the command flag and inserted it directly into Fei Bin's head, then grabbed Fei Bin's body and lifted it high.

"The Songshan Sect will no longer exist. All the Five Mountains Sword Sects, if you are not afraid of death, come and die together!"

With a roar from Duanmu Huai, Fei Bin's body in his hand was torn into two pieces. Duanmu Huai then grabbed Fei Bin's body with both hands and threw it towards the surrounding Songshan disciples! !

Then he jumped up and rushed directly towards the disciples of Songshan School!
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene. Duanmu Huai clenched his fists and killed anyone who stood in his way, regardless of gender, age or status. He tore everyone who stood in his way into pieces, leaving no one alive. The Songshan disciple initially shouted, "The Five Mountains are of the same blood, let's kill this evil demon together!" However, the one who spoke was grabbed by Duanmu Huai, and then rubbed against the wall. Amid screams, everyone watched his head and face pressed against the wall and crushed into pieces.

The Songshan disciple, seeing that Duanmu Huai was like a demon, did not dare to attack, so he set his sights on Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu. They looked at each other and rushed towards them together.

However, they had just jumped up when they saw a flash of sword light. The next moment, dozens of Songshan disciples fell to the ground with blood spurting from their throats. At this time, everyone saw a sharp sword appear like a snake, turn in the air, and then fly back into the scabbard behind Xiaolongnu and fall down.

What kind of ability is this?
Seeing this scene, everyone was even more stunned. This kind of skill of controlling the sword with Qi and taking people's heads from a hundred meters away was unheard of and unseen.

The Songshan disciple who was pressing against Liu Zhengfeng's family on the other side saw his fellow disciples being killed, and his eyes turned red and he shouted loudly.

"Fight them!"

Then he raised the dagger and stabbed directly at the Liu family. However, in a flash, Wang Yuyan turned her right hand and flicked her index finger lightly. A flash of lightning emerged from her hand and turned into thunder and lightning that flashed across the Songshan disciples. Accompanied by a loud thunder, the next moment the Songshan disciples who had raised their knives to stab flew backwards together. Their entire bodies were charred black from the beating. They were dead beyond death.

Seeing this, the people around were even more shocked. If Xiaolongnu's ability to control the sword with Qi was already unheard of, then Wang Yuyan's control of lightning with her mortal body was more like a skill that only the gods in myths and legends could do.

If Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu are goddesses and fairies, then Duanmu Huai is more like a demon from hell. At this moment, the people of Songshan Sect have been killed by him. Anyone caught by Duanmu Huai cannot keep their bodies intact. They are either torn in half or crushed into meat paste. As for those who turned around and wanted to escape, they were even more miserable. The guests watched helplessly as two Songshan disciples saw Duanmu Huai rushing towards them, turned around and tried to escape by performing Qinggong, but Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand, and saw one of them fell directly from the air as if attracted, and Duanmu Huai grabbed his leg and twisted it hard, twisting the disciple into a twist.

Then everyone saw Duanmu Huai grabbing the Songshan disciple and throwing him at the man in front. Then the corpse was like a javelin, piercing directly through the chest of the former, and then exploded directly in the air. A bloody storm rushed towards them, which was even more disgusting.

The heroes present were all good fighters, but the battlefield was like hell, something they had never seen even in their most horrific nightmares. Many of his disciples had fainted on the ground, and the others were not much better. If it weren't for the face of the martial arts masters, they would have fainted like their disciples.

The most difficult one among them was the Five Mountains Sword Sect. After all, the Five Mountains Sword Sects were of the same blood. Logically, they should have gone forward to kill the enemy together. However, whether it was Duanmu Huai or Wang Yuyan, Xiao Longnu's performance was far beyond their expectations, especially Duanmu Huai's cruel and brutal killing method, which frightened many people and almost wanted to leave first.

Yue Buqun's face turned pale, and he took his disciples and hid behind. Besides, he originally wanted to be the leader of the Five Mountains, but he couldn't beat Zuo Lengchan, so he kept pretending to be a grandson. Seeing Zuo Lengchan was so stupid that he provoked the Undead God, he couldn't even light firecrackers to celebrate, so how could he go up and die. It was even a pity that Zuo Lengchan, the idiot, didn't come in person, otherwise it would be a good scene to have his head twisted off by the Undead God.

Master Dingyi of the Hengshan School and her nuns simply closed their eyes and chanted Buddhist scriptures. They did not dare to say anything, for fear that their decades of practice would be ruined if they opened their eyes.

As for Taoist Tianmen of the Taishan Sect and others, they were very embarrassed. They were in a dilemma as to whether to go up or not... In the end, they decided to follow Yue Buqun and stand back obediently.

A moment later, all the Songshan sect disciples were killed by Duanmu Huai. The others could only stand by and watch Duanmu Huai, who was covered in blood, not daring to breathe. They were afraid that this killing god would be dissatisfied and turn around to kill them too.

In fact, Duanmu Huai was naturally dissatisfied. He didn't even look at the guests. He walked among the corpses, then picked up Fei Bin's head with the Five Mountains Flag inserted in it, looked around, and then cast his gaze on Tianmen Taoist.

"Which sect are you from?"

When Tianmen Taoist heard Duanmu Huai's question, he was stunned for a moment, but finally he walked out with his head held high under the gaze of everyone.

"I'm... not Xiao... not that... Taishan Sect Tianmen. I'm honored to meet you, sir."

"Yeah, okay, come here."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand, Tianmen Taoist swallowed his saliva, and then walked over tremblingly. Then he saw Duanmu Huai put Fei Bin's head with the flag on it in his hand.

"Give this to Zuo Lengchan and tell him to wait obediently in Songshan Sect. If he dares to run away, I will destroy the entire Five Mountains Sword Sect! Do you hear me?"

“Yes, yes…”

The people present were not fools, so they naturally understood what Duanmu Huai meant. If Zuo Lengchan knew what was happening here, the Songshan Sect might also learn from the Qingcheng Sect and escape. After all, temples are dead, but people are alive. Beizhou is so big, and Duanmu Huai can't keep chasing them.

However, Duanmu Huai did not intend to hunt them down. What he meant was that he wanted the other four sword sects to keep an eye on the Songshan Sect and not let them run away. If they ran away, he would slaughter all the five sword sects!

For their own sake, the other four sword sects would not let the Songshan Sect get away!

Duanmu Huai gave the head to Tianmen Taoist, and then returned to Liu Zhengfeng. The latter stood there blankly, and when he saw Duanmu Huai coming, he hurriedly knelt down to salute.

"Liu Zhengfeng thanks His Excellency the Immortal Killer God. If it weren't for your help, Liu Zhengfeng would have died today..."

"Okay, I didn't come to see you to thank you. I only have three things for you to do."

"Your Excellency, please speak."

Liu Zhengfeng was also confused at this moment, but he still lowered his head obediently. Others also looked at Duanmu Huai curiously, wanting to know what this terrifying god of death wanted from Liu Zhengfeng.

"First, I want to know...um, is your golden basin for washing hands made of pure gold? Or is it gold-plated?"

“…………………………”

A cold wind swirled through the lobby. Everyone was speechless upon hearing this.

I thought you were going to mention something, but this is it?
Even Liu Zhengfeng was speechless, but he still answered hurriedly.

"My Lord, it is pure gold... After all, I have retired from the underworld. If it is gold-plated, wouldn't it mean that I, Liu Zhengfeng, am not sincere..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, so rich."

Duanmu Huai sighed and shook his head.

"Second, I'm still waiting for the banquet, is that okay?"

"Of course not! Your Excellency has saved my entire family, Liu Zhengfeng. No matter what banquet you want to have, it's fine."

"Oh, that's fine. Then the third one... I know Qu Yang is here too. Come out. While I'm eating, the two of you can play the song 'Swordsman' together. Is that ok?"

"How do you know...?"

When Liu Zhengfeng heard Duanmu Huai's third request, he was stunned. You know, this song "Swordsman" was a duet between him and Qu Yang, and no one else knew it except them.

"Okay, just tell me whether you agree or not."

"Hahahahaha!!"

However, before Liu Zhengfeng could say anything, he heard a laugh, and then an old man fell from the sky and landed next to Liu Zhengfeng.

No need to ask, it was Qu Yang.

"I am grateful for your kindness, Your Excellency the Immortal God of Killing. I cannot refuse!"

"Well, that's fine."

Duanmu Huai nodded, then glanced at the people around him.

"Don't even think about leaving. Stay and listen together!"

"………………………"

Faced with Duanmu Huai's request, everyone looked desperate.

Can they say no?
