The Beggars' Sect.
After the gang leader, Jie Feng, finished recounting the latest intelligence, Hong Qigong tossed aside the bone in his hand, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Haven't you found out who leaked the information?"
Jie Feng said, "We found out, but they don't remember anything—"
Hong Qigong was slightly taken aback: "What do you mean by 'don't remember'?"
Jie Feng said, "These words were definitely spread by them, but they all claim they don't remember them. They genuinely don't remember, they're not faking it. It's very strange!"
"I have read the records in the sect. Legend has it that there is a mysterious technique in the Nine Yin Manual called the Soul Transfer Technique, which can capture a person's soul."
"Could it be that these people have all had their souls captured?"
Hong Qigong waved his hand: "Go away, go away, what are you talking about? The Nine Yin Manual is a martial arts manual, not a magic spell."
"At most, it's slightly better than a first-rate soul-capturing technique. It can influence other people's minds, but it's impossible to control others to do such precise things. It's most likely a supernatural power bestowed by immortals."
Jie Feng was extremely surprised: "Is there really such a thing as immortal supernatural power?"
Hong Qigong said with some helplessness, "We were able to travel to the future; what else could it be but the work of immortals?"
"Since there are immortals, it's not surprising that they possess supernatural powers."
"This is troublesome."
He couldn't help but scratch his head: "You told me before that little girl named Huang Rong was my apprentice who later became the leader of the Beggars' Sect, so I still have to go and see about this."
"Sigh, even if this hadn't happened, we still have to go and see. If we don't handle it properly, it could cause chaos in the martial arts world."
In fact, given Hong Qigong's personality, he had long wanted to see Huang Rong, his successor.
But then he heard that Huang Rong was originally supposed to marry one of his other disciples, but now she was living happily ever after with someone else, which he found very strange, so he stalled—
Now, there's no other way but to go!
Mount Hua.

Upon hearing the news brought by Wei Yixiao, Li Ping laughed and said, "You're too late. I already know about this. The ones who attacked the disciples of the Sun Moon Sect are most likely those two dead ghosts, Shangguan Jin Hong and Yuan Suiyun."
"Even in death, there is no peace."
Wei Yixiao, being an extraordinary being himself, was also affected and naturally furious: "Shangguan Jin Hong, Yuan Suiyun? What era are these scoundrels from? They deserve to be torn to pieces!"
"You can still laugh? Do you know how many people in the martial arts world want to tear you apart? They all see you as Tang Sanzang's flesh, and some are even saying that eating a piece of your flesh will grant you immortality!"
Li Ping said, "It's a small matter, why are you so nervous? Apart from a few who deliberately stand out, as long as a superhuman doesn't reveal their identity, who would know they are a superhuman?"
"You're overthinking it. The martial world won't descend into chaos. At most, those people will only target me."
Wei Yixiao asked in surprise, "Aren't you afraid at all?"
Instead of answering, Li Ping asked, "Why is it you again? Have you now joined the Sun Moon Cult?"
Wei Yi smiled and said, "The Sun Moon Sect has a new leader. Although he is young, he is much better at handling things than Dongfang Bubai."
"She recruited me, but I didn't know what to do or where to go, so I simply agreed and became a guest advisor."
"As Leader Ren has said, as long as you give the order, the Sun Moon Cult will send men and soldiers whenever needed."
Li Ping waved his hand, turned around and said, "I told you, why make such a fuss over such a small thing?"
"I actually have something I'd like to ask Bat King for help with—"
Wei Yi smiled as he watched Li Ping turn his back to him, utterly astonished. "He trusts me that much? Isn't he afraid I'll slap him in the back?"
Even if someone is immortal, they would be unable to move after being hit by two of my palms and would be completely at my mercy!
How tempting is immortality?
Of course, Li Ping saved my life. I'm not the kind of ungrateful bastard, but how many bastards like that are there in the martial arts world?
Li Ping, you're still too young and lack experience in the ways of the world.
Wei Yi smiled and said, "Just tell me what it is."
Li Ping said, "Last time we captured the Xuanming Elders, and I pried the Xuanming Divine Palm out of them, intending to incorporate it into my own cultivation technique."
"However, the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique I practice is an extremely yang technique. If I were to merge it with this extremely yin and cold technique, it would lose its original characteristics."
"Your Frosty Palm technique is similar; could you let me use it as a reference? I'll trade you my Mysterious Netherworld Palm!"
The Sun Moon Cult's secret manuals naturally included the "Sunflower Manual," so Li Ping had long ago acquired it.
Complete it.
According to Huang Rong, the Sunflower Manual is an extremely yang martial art. Because it's too "yang," the human body can't handle it, which is why one must castrate oneself to become more "yin."
To Li Ping, this nonsensical theory sounded like the Wedding Dress Divine Skill being too powerful, which was why it needed to be practiced once before being destroyed and started over.
Wei Yixiao finally agreed and then left again.
Li Ping taught Huang Rong the Frosty Palm technique. After studying it for a day, he gained a lot, but he still couldn't integrate it into the Sunflower Manual.
Li Ping decided not to wait any longer, and the three of them packed their belongings and left Mount Hua.
The entire Huashan Sect came to see him off. Yue Buqun kept expressing his gratitude, while Ning Zhongze remained silent.
Previously, Zuo Lengchan and the other two had been pressing Li Ping relentlessly, while Yue Buqun remained silent and Ning Zhongze was dissatisfied with him. They had been engaged in a cold war for the past few days.
Li Ping, holding Yue Buqun's hand, smiled and said, "You're too kind, Mr. Yue. We're helping Mount Hua this time because Elder Hefeng made a prior agreement."
"You should thank Mr. Feng."
He then looked at Ning Zhongze, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Miss Ning, you are a heroine among women, a true heroine who is no less than any man. When I was a child, the kind of female knight-errant I imagined should be just like you."
"However, don't let this incident lower your guard against Zuo Lengchan."
"His ability to discern Shi Guanyin's true strength and his willingness to endure humiliation before her, while waiting for an opportunity to turn against her, is truly remarkable. He is indeed capable of both yielding and standing firm, a true hero!"
"His determination to unify the Five Mountains Sword Sects will not diminish because of this; on the contrary, it will become even more intense. You must be careful."
He then looked at Yue Lingshan and said, "Lingshan! Take good care of yourself. See you at Wudang again."
Given that Yue Lingshan, that little Karami, dared to stand up for him in that situation, how could Li Ping not be moved?
"Haha, Brother Linghu! Practice the Dugu Nine Swords well. Next time Zuo Lengchan causes trouble, use the Dugu Nine Swords to give him a good spanking!"
After saying that, the three of them turned and left.
Yue Buqun's lips twitched. "You say so much to my wife in front of me, praising me so highly. Just how much do you look down on me?"
He then held out his hand, in which Li Ping had slipped him a crumpled piece of paper. He secretly unfolded the paper and took a look, instantly blushing with embarrassment.
Because it only had one sentence written on it: "Old Yue, if you pretend to be a gentleman your whole life, you're a true gentleman. I don't want to cut off your head in front of Ling Shan later."
He was both ashamed and angry, and then a chill ran through his body.
With tears in her eyes, Yue Lingshan watched the three figures disappear into the distance. She longed to roam the martial world with Li Ping, but she knew that with her current martial arts skills, she would only be a burden.
Li Ping's journey this time will undoubtedly involve countless bloodshed and turmoil, which is why he did not set off with the Huashan Sect.
The next day, Yue Buqun and his wife, along with the disciples of Huashan, headed to Wudang.
But as soon as they came down the mountain, they were stunned by what they saw.
There were corpses lying there haphazardly, at least a hundred of them, with ropes, fishing nets, and even things like thunderbolts beside them.
The heads of each corpse were chopped off and piled on the ground, resembling a small mountain.
A flag was planted nearby, with the words written in blood: "If you want my head, trade your head for mine."
The disciples of Mount Hua have experienced feuds and killings in the martial arts world, but they have never seen such a bloody scene.
Some of the female disciples even vomited.
Yue Buqun was drenched in cold sweat. He finally understood the origin of the name "Executioner's Blade," and he finally realized just how ruthless Li Ping was. He dared not harbor any more ulterior motives.
