The sword came out of Huashan, and swept the world from the world of swordsman

Seeing Mu Gaofeng fall to the ground and die miserably, Ning Zhongze took a few steps back in disgust, fearing that the poison would get on his body.

The people in the hall didn't have so many thoughts, but were more surprised by her skills.

That palm from the void could actually kill Mu Gaofeng on the spot. This powerful skill was already above most of them.

I used to hear "Ning's sword is unparalleled", but today I know that Ning Zhongze's fist and palm skills are also unfathomable.

I couldn't help but look at the Huashan Sect's camp, secretly guessing how high Yue Zhuoqun's martial arts should be.

There are also Feng Buping, Cheng Buyou, and Cong Buqi, who are also famous figures in the martial arts world for many years.

Huashan Sect is really silent for ten years, but it is amazing when it rises!

Ning Zhongze walked slowly towards Taoist Xushan.

He was hit by Mu Gaofeng's stick, and his left shoulder bone was smashed, but his life was not in danger.

However, he was completely frightened by Ning Zhongze's martial arts at this moment. When he saw the other party walking towards him, his body subconsciously shrank back and shouted in panic:

"Brother Liu, I came to watch you retire from martial arts. You can't let her kill me."

Liu Zhengfeng frowned and was angry.

What a fart ceremony. I came to seek revenge on Senior Brother Yue.

At this moment, his life is in danger, but he thinks of himself?

"Brother Xushan, if you come to watch the ceremony sincerely, Liu will naturally speak for you.

But you openly said that you want to seek revenge on Huashan Sect, which has become a feud between your two families. It is really difficult for me to intervene!"

"No, I won't take revenge. Please help me persuade Lady Ning." Taoist Xushan shook his intact arm wildly.

Ning Zhongze made him suffer such a big loss, how dare he continue to clamor for revenge!

"Oh, you say you won't seek revenge now, but who knows if you will go back on your word later."

Master Dingyi mocked him when she heard this: "You can even make friends with a shameless person like Mu Gaofeng, so I'm afraid your reputation is not high at all."

Not only Ning Zhongze, she also didn't like this old Taoist priest, who made him make up stories about his beloved disciple.

"I... I promise that I will never cause trouble for Huashan Sect again."

"Verbal promises are not convincing. I think it's better to hand over your Kongtong Sect martial arts to Senior Brother Yue, so that it will be convincing."

Yu Canghai couldn't help but interrupt.

He had been caught in the rain and wanted to tear up other people's umbrellas.

Unfortunately, his suggestion was not recognized by the people in the room, after all, most of the people present were upright.

Each sect regards its own martial arts as life, and taking away someone else's martial arts is no less than killing their parents or robbing their wives, which is a taboo in the martial arts world.

The head of Taishan Sect, Taoist Tianmen, thought for a while and said:

"Junior Brother Yue, how about this! All of us here will bear witness and spare Taoist Xushan's life.

If he disobeys in the future, we, the Five Mountains Sword Sect, will punish him together.

Is it okay?"

Yue Zhuoqun thought for a while and nodded: "Since Senior Brother Tianmen said so, I will give face to my fellow martial artists.

Junior Sister, spare his life for now!"

Taoist Xushan is just a clown, and the Huashan Sect has already achieved the effect of establishing its prestige, so it is too lazy to care too much.

"Humph! You are lucky!" Ning Zhongze glared at Taoist Xushan and turned back to sit next to Yue Zhuoqun.

"Come here, take the head of Xushan down to get bandaged."

Seeing this, Liu Zhengfeng waved to his disciples, then bowed and smiled:

"My fellow friends, I have prepared guest rooms, you can have a good rest for the night.

The hand-washing ceremony will officially begin at noon tomorrow, and you are all invited to attend the ceremony."

...

The next day, the gate of Liu Mansion opened early, and a steady stream of martial arts guests poured in.

There were countless well-known figures such as Zhang Jin'ao, the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect, Xia Lao, the boxer of Liuhe Sect, He Sanqi of Yandang Mountain, and Pan Hou, the leader of the Haisha Gang.

If you add the Jianghu guests who did not receive an invitation and took the initiative to join in the fun, there were as many as six or seven hundred people.

This was definitely a martial arts event.

Some of these Jianghu guests knew each other, and some had only heard of their reputations but had never met. Now they gathered together to introduce each other and greeted each other, and there was a lot of noise in the venue for a while.

When Yue Zhuoqun, Master Dingyi, and Taoist Tianmen arrived, they couldn't help but frown.

Some of them really made them look down upon them.

Among them were some people like Mu Gaofeng, who had a great reputation but did not follow the chivalrous code.

Fortunately, Liu Zhengfeng knew the seriousness of the matter and divided the guests into two areas, the inner and outer areas.

Those who came from famous and upright families went directly to the inner area and took their seats, which was much quieter.

At noon, they heard the sound of firecrackers and gongs outside the gate.

The Jianghu guests who were talking and chatting stopped talking and found their seats.

Then they saw a brand newLiu Zhengfeng, wearing a new robe, walked out of the main hall quickly. It was thought that he was going to give a speech to retire, but he walked quickly to the gate with excitement on his face.

"Strange, aren't all the famous Jianghu masters here? Who is he going to greet!"

"Could it be Zuo Lengchan of Songshan Sect?"

"It could also be the heroes of Shaolin or Wudang!"

People whispered to each other and speculated in their hearts.

However, what surprised everyone was that a big eunuch wearing a red python robe walked in from the gate, followed by a group of Dongchang guards with swords.

Liu Zhengfeng paused in his hasty steps, with a look of surprise on his face: "May I ask who this eunuch is?"

"I am Xu Jin, the third head of the East Factory. Why, Mr. Liu, do you not welcome me?"

Liu Zhengfeng was shocked and bowed quickly: "I dare not, but today Mr. Zhang was supposed to come to give the imperial edict, why did it suddenly change to Eunuch Xu?"

"My coming here can only show the importance the court attaches to Mr. Liu, right?"

"Liu Zhengfeng is terrified, please come in, eunuch."

Xu Jin then stepped into the Liu Mansion, curled his lips in disdain at the doubtful gazes on both sides, and walked up the steps of the main hall with an arrogant demeanor.

A soldier following behind him knelt down, holding up a tray with both hands, on which the scroll made of golden cloth was placed.

Xu Jin opened the scroll with both hands, revealing the embroidered dragon pattern, and said solemnly: "The imperial edict has arrived, Liu Zhengfeng will receive it."

When these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.

The reputation of the East Factory is not good. They act ruthlessly and domineeringly. Even the unruly Jianghu people are reluctant to provoke them.

Liu Zhengfeng is just a Jianghu person. How could there be an imperial decree from the court, and the Third Director of the East Factory personally announced it?

Could it be that the court wanted to clean up the martial arts world, so they colluded with Liu Zhengfeng and wiped out all the martial arts heroes at this Jinpen Retirement Conference?

Everyone's heart was hanging in the air.

There is a precedent for the Ming Dynasty court to clean up the martial arts world.

Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was born in the Mingjiao. After he ascended the throne, he cleansed the Mingjiao followers, which led to the demise of the Mingjiao that had been passed down for hundreds of years.

Many people's hearts were hanging on the spot, and they secretly held their weapons tightly.

But Liu Zhengfeng knelt on his knees, kowtowed three times respectfully, and said loudly: "I, your humble servant Liu Zhengfeng, obey your order. Long live the emperor."

"The Emperor of the Heavenly Kingdom proclaims: According to the report of the Hunan Governor, Liu Zhengfeng is eager to serve the public and is skilled in archery and horsemanship. He is indeed awarded the title of Lieutenant General. From now on, he will serve the court and live up to my expectations. I decree this."

Liu Zhengfeng kowtowed again to express his gratitude, and then stood up respectfully to receive the imperial edict: "I also want to thank Eunuch Xu for traveling thousands of miles and taking the trouble."

Xu Jin narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It's not hard to say. In addition to reading the imperial edict, I also sent a secret order from the governor to Lord Liu."

Liu Zhengfeng was stunned: "I don't know what Lord Cao wants me to do."

"The governor ordered Lord Liu to assist me in arresting Yue Buqun, a rebel in the court!"
