Chapter 192: The Tragic Zuo Lengchan
Why did Li Ping find it strange?
Because Hua Zhenzhen is not an unreasonable person.
Li Ping clasped his hands in a fist salute to Hua Zhenzhen: "Heroine Hua, I have heard of your name and know that you are the invisible guardian of the Huashan Sect in another world."
"But I wonder why you clashed with your friends from the Huashan Sect?"
Hua Zhenzhen wasn't too surprised to see that Li Ping knew her identity, because she had met people from the same world, but from a later era.
It's not unusual for someone to know about your past.
She gently smoothed her hair, her brows slightly furrowed, because even she found the whole thing somewhat... absurd!
"Now that you know my identity, things are easier. I am the guardian of the Huashan Sect in our world. I have only one mission: to protect Huashan and make the Huashan Sect flourish."
"Then I inexplicably found myself in another world, a world that already had a Huashan Sect, which had absolutely no connection to my own sect!"
"This puts me in a rather difficult position. I should create another Huashan Sect, but wouldn't that conflict with someone else's name?"
"Originally, I only wanted to rebuild a sect in Mount Hua."
"Just then, I heard some news: Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, wanted to merge the Five Mountains Sword Sects, and the sects agreed!"
"Since the Huashan Sect has merged with others, what's wrong with me rebuilding the Huashan Sect on Mount Hua?"
"But they disagreed."
Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun couldn't hold back any longer: "My sect has cultivated the reputation of the Huashan Sect for hundreds of years. Do you expect me to hand it over so easily?"
Hua Zhenzhen said helplessly, "But you yourselves don't want it anymore."
Yue Buqun roared in anger: "Who said we don't want it anymore?"
"Aren't you the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance?"
"The merging of the Five Sacred Mountains doesn't mean we're abandoning Mount Hua..."
"Oh, so after the merger, when you went out you introduced yourself as being from the Huashan Sect of the Five Mountains Sword Sect? Then what sect did you merge with?"
"You're being unreasonable!"
"You're being unreasonable! You've already given up the name of Mount Hua, so why can't I have it? Besides, Mount Hua isn't the private property of the Mount Hua Sect. Just like Shaolin and the Songshan Sect are both on Mount Song, you won't even let me establish my own sect?!"
"However, the Songshan Sect didn't name itself Shaolin! If you want to establish a sect on Mount Hua, you need the consent of the Mount Hua Sect. Not to mention, you want to call yourself the Mount Hua Sect, which the Mount Hua Sect does not agree to!"
Hearing what these two said, Li Ping was speechless, feeling that this matter was indeed absurd!
At that moment, the sound of wind breaking rang out, and Zuo Lengchan led a group of Songshan Taibao fighters down.
Upon seeing Li Ping, everyone first greeted him.
Then, Zuo Lengchan looked at Hua Zhenzhen, his old face beaming with a smile like a chrysanthemum: "This must be Miss Hua!"
"Your problem is actually easy to solve. Just join the Huashan Sect, and that will solve everything."
Li Ping's eyes widened.
Hey!
You little brat, you want to eat and take too?
Why would you recruit such a top expert for nothing?
Hua Zhenzhen shook her head, "Of course not. If I join the Huashan Sect, wouldn't that be like switching to another sect?"
"Furthermore, if the Five Sacred Mountains were merged, wouldn't the Huashan Sect cease to exist?"
It seems they are not so easy to recruit!
Zuo Lengchan said, "This matter is indeed bizarre and cannot be explained in a short time. However, we people in the martial arts world do not dwell on such convoluted matters."
"In the world of martial arts, let's settle things with swords and spears; how about we make a bet?"
"I fought Hua with a sword and I won. Hua joined the Huashan Sect and was incorporated into my Five Mountains Sword Sect."
"If I lose, I will cede Mount Hua to Miss Hua, so that she can rebuild the Mount Hua Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Li Ping couldn't help but laugh.
Zuo Lengchan felt a chill in his heart. What do you mean?
Do you think I can't beat her?
Such a young girl?
Surely not every young girl is as outrageous as Huang Rong, right?
Li Ping understood Zuo Lengchan's thoughts. Sigh, you really can't beat him.
Because you can't even beat Shi Guanyin, Hua Zhenzhen's martial arts are far superior to Shi Guanyin's.
If you use supernatural powers, that's a different story.
Zuo Lengchan had recently suffered many losses and was feeling uneasy. He then looked at Li Ping and asked, "Brother Li, what advice do you have for me?"
Li Ping then looked at Hua Zhenzhen and said, "I have an idea, Miss Hua, what do you think?"
"You should establish a new sect and call it the Huashan Sect of Another Land."
"That way, others will immediately know that you are from the Huashan Sect of another world."
Why bother arguing with others anymore?
Then, Li Ping saw others looking at him like he was a fool.
Li Ping was puzzled: "What's so difficult about that? It's like how Shaolin is divided into Southern Shaolin and Northern Shaolin?"
Hua Zhenzhen stared wide-eyed at Li Ping in disbelief: "Southern Shaolin and Northern Shaolin, anyone can tell at a glance that they were originally one family."
"But we're not like that."
"If the Five Mountains Alliance hadn't been merged, I might have accepted it, but since they want to be incorporated into the Five Mountains Sword Sects, how can they still hold onto the name of Mount Hua?"
Li Ping was stunned. He suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have fully integrated into the identity of a江湖人 (jianghu person).
They completely underestimated how much people in the martial arts world value the name and legitimacy of their sect, and are even willing to give their lives for it.
The Ming Cult changed its name to the Sun Moon Cult because it had no choice but to do so under pressure to survive.
This whole thing is a mess...
Then, Hua Zhenzhen looked at Zuo Lengchan: "Then, Alliance Leader Zuo, it's a deal!"
Zuo Lengchan said, "Alright..."
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhongze looked at Yue Buqun, but Yue Buqun remained silent.
In the original timeline, he always wanted to compete with Zuo Lengchan for the position of leader of the Five Mountains Alliance. In order to seize this position, he even cut himself up.
But now the situation has changed drastically. Zuo Lengchan's terms for merging the Five Mountains Alliance are more favorable than before, and the methods are more lenient, which he can now accept.
But unexpectedly, Hua Zhenzhen suddenly appeared.
Hua Zhenzhen's martial arts skills are superb. Linghu Chong's swordsmanship is now far superior to his own, but he still has no chance of winning against Hua Zhenzhen.
He was willing to accept Zuo Lengchan's intervention at this time.
This is how people's bottom line is gradually broken.
Zuo Lengchan drew his broadsword, still using the "Ten Thousand Mountains Paying Homage to the Ancestor" hand gesture as his starting position.
Then, a sword flashed, like a heavily armored cavalry charge, bringing with it a sharp whistling sound; it was none other than the Jade Well Heavenly Pool.
This sword strike is wide and sweeping, like water pouring from a celestial pool, making it ideal for controlling the battlefield and launching powerful attacks.
In his opinion, Hua Zhenzhen was so young, yet she could make Yue Buqun and his wife unable to defend themselves; her swordsmanship was mostly light and agile.
Using power to intimidate others is the most suitable approach!
Unexpectedly, Hua Zhenzhen's sword flashed, like a startled swan in flight, like flowing wind and swirling snow, and in an instant, the longsword was already at Zuo Lengchan's throat.
Zuo Lengchan felt a chill run down his spine!
too fast!
Aside from Li Ping, this was the fastest sword he had ever seen.
He couldn't use the Jade Well Heavenly Pool move at all. He withdrew his sword light and immediately guarded his position. He had experience against fast swords!
But the pent-up frustration in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
After these extraordinary beings descended into the world, Zuo Lengchan never had a comfortable fight!
Except when facing Master Lingzhi, he was almost always overwhelmed and beaten, and even his supernatural powers could not be fully utilized.
Is it going to be the same this time?
Thinking of this, he finally couldn't help but unleash his "Breakthrough" divine power...
