Chapter 26 Your attempt to wash your hands of this business is destined to fail!
They had never heard of the Dao of Sitting in Oblivion.
But everyone present knew that this mad Taoist was neither a member of the righteous path nor a member of the demonic sect. Apart from his excellent lightness skill, his cultivation level didn't seem to be that great.
If we could capture this mad Taoist priest, then the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual...
Thinking of this, everyone present was filled with envy. The leaders of the Giant Whale Gang and the Sea Sand Gang began to make arrangements in secret. Compared to dominating the martial arts world, losing a couple of ounces of meat was nothing.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Liu Zhengfeng hurriedly walked to the center of the courtyard.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day I, Liu, retire from my criminal life. Please give me the honor."
His words were both soft and firm, and after he finished speaking, he waved to the Hengshan Sect disciples around him, indicating that if the chaos continued, he would forcibly take control of the situation.
Seeing that the Hengshan Sect was serious, the heroes suppressed their greed. There was plenty of time. Could Li Huowang really escape?
Once the heroes had settled in, Liu Zhengfeng rearranged the banquet tables and chairs, and everyone resumed eating and drinking.
Yue Yuan stood on the roof with Yu Renyan, looked down at the scene below, and sighed, "It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words."
"If you're still saying these things now, what are we supposed to do next?"
Yu Renyan has no opinions of his own. Now that Yu Canghai has been crippled, he has lost his protection and is panicking. He can only place his hopes on Li Huowang beside him.
Yue Yuan turned to look at Yu Renyan, "The real show is about to begin. We don't need to do anything, just wait."
"What are you waiting for?"
"Of course, I'll wait until everything falls into chaos; that will be the time when my Dao of Sitting in Oblivion grows stronger!"
He had been waiting for this day for a long time. You see, he had been pretending ever since he transmigrated. From the moment Lao Denuo arranged for someone to feed him poison and Yue Buqun wanted to use Lao Denuo to kill him, he had been planning this day.
He looked at "Sister Yu" beside him, "Now you are the number one expert under my Dao of Sitting in Oblivion, aren't you happy?"
Yu Renyan took two steps back in fear, almost falling off the roof, but Yue Yuan pulled him back in the end.
After regaining his footing, Yu Renyan exclaimed in terror, "No, I don't want to be this so-called number one expert! I want to go back to Qingcheng Mountain!"
"That's not up to you!" He lifted Yu Renyan's arm, pointed to a black line on it, and said, "I've put a deadly poison in your body. If you don't have the antidote within three months, you'll die."
"You're a madman, you're absolutely insane!"
He wasn't angry at Yu Renyan's curses; instead, he burst into laughter.
He spent a lot of time studying the Five Poisons Manual, and making a slow-acting poison was a piece of cake for him. He used to think that using poison to control people was despicable, but now he finds it surprisingly effective.
Yu Renyan wanted to say something more, so he pointed into the courtyard and said, "Silence, the iconic scene is about to begin."
Inside the courtyard, Liu Zhengfeng had a large golden basin brought in. After bowing to the surrounding people, he prepared to wash his hands.
This is considered a relatively formal ceremony in the martial arts world. Once someone washes their hands of the martial arts world, it means that they will no longer concern themselves with the affairs of the martial arts world, and they will have no further connection with it.
But when he wanted to wash his hands, it wasn't that simple.
Just as he was about to wash his hands, a commotion broke out outside.
"The Five Mountains Alliance Leader's Order has arrived!"
When Liu Zhengfeng heard that it was someone from the Songshan Sect, he thought it was someone from Zuo Lengchan's faction offering congratulations, so he hurriedly went forward to greet them.
"Senior Brother Fei, Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Ding..."
Before he could even speak, Fei Bin, the leader, interrupted him. Fei Bin pulled out a triangular flag and said to Liu Zhengfeng.
"Left Alliance Leader's order forbids Liu Zhengfeng from leaving the martial world. The Five Mountains Alliance is already in decline, and Liu Zhengfeng's withdrawal will only embolden the Demonic Sect."
"Junior Brother Liu, take the flag!"
Liu Zhengfeng was furious at Zuo Lengchan's move; his face turned pale and then purple. "What if I insist today?"
Fei Bin put away the command flag. "Junior Brother Liu, I advise you to obey Alliance Leader Zuo's orders, or you'll have a hard time getting out of this today."
"Hmph! Alliance Leader Zuo is far too domineering!" He turned to Yue Buqun and the others. "Fellow senior brothers and sisters, please be the judge. Is Alliance Leader Zuo's behavior fair?"
Lu Bai snorted coldly, "Do you really think no one knows about your dirty deeds? Your collusion with Qu Yang of the Demonic Sect and your intention to betray the Five Mountains Alliance have already been exposed. Now, as long as you give up your intention to retire from the underworld and announce that you have severed ties with Qu Yang, there is still room for things to turn around! Otherwise... hmph!"
Fei Bin then stepped forward and added, "Fellow senior brothers, please speak up and say something fair!"
He spoke lightly, but he wanted to force these people to take a stand and prevent them from siding with Liu Zhengfeng.
Sure enough, after he said that, Yue Buqun and the others remained silent.
Upon seeing this, Liu Zhengfeng burst into laughter. At this moment, he felt a sense of relief, thinking that he might as well leave this world of martial arts behind.
"I'm determined to wash my hands today, and no one can stop me!" he said, before walking back towards the golden basin.
Seeing his determined look, Fei Bin sneered and clapped his hands vigorously.
Upon hearing the signal, the Songshan disciples lying in ambush inside the house poured out from all parts of the Liu residence, completely surrounding the courtyard.
Then a group of disciples from Songshan brought Liu Zhengfeng's wife and children to the front of the stage from the backyard, including Qu Feiyan.
"Brother Liu, I advise you not to do anything, otherwise..."
Master Dingyi, always eager for justice, slammed her hand on the table and glared at Fei Bin, "Since ancient times, misfortune should not befall family members. How is your behavior any different from that of the demonic cult?"
"Master Dingyi, there's nothing I can do. As long as Brother Liu kills Qu Yang, we'll still be family."
Liu Zhengfeng angrily rebuked Fei Bin: "You're dreaming! You think you can blackmail me by capturing my wife and children? Compared to Brother Qu, you people are nothing!"
Lu Bai drew his longsword, a sinister smile on his face: "If that's the case, then don't regret it!" He stepped forward with his sword, ready to attack Madam Liu.
Upon seeing this, Yue Yuan immediately shot out several steel needles. Killing Liu's wife and children was unacceptable; he had promised Qu Yang to protect Liu Zhengfeng's family.
The steel needle struck Lu Bai's broadsword, causing him to stagger.
"Who dares to act so arrogantly here!"
Everyone's attention was once again focused on Yue Yuan. They never expected that this person would dare to provoke the Songshan Sect. Everyone watched the spectacle with amusement.
Yue Yuan suddenly stood up, pointed at Liu Jing and said, "Oh, I forgot to mention earlier, Liu Jing also knows the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual. I accidentally lost a copy with her last time."
Upon hearing this, Tong Baixiong and Shangguan Yun exchanged a glance, and the group suddenly attacked, killing the Songshan disciples guarding the Liu family. They then grabbed Liu Zhengfeng and his family and flew out of the courtyard.
Upon seeing this, Yue Buqun quickly pulled Tianmen Daoist and Dingyi Shitai to chase after them. Yue Buqun would not allow the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual to fall into the hands of the Demonic Sect, otherwise Mount Hua would have no chance to turn the tide.
In the courtyard, disciples of the Sun Moon Sect and disciples of Mount Song immediately engaged in a fierce battle, and the two major forces of the martial arts world began to stage a full-scale fight.
Seeing that Liu Zhengfeng's wife and children had been captured, Fei Bin could only swing his sword at Liu Zhengfeng. Liu Zhengfeng was no match for the three Taibao. After only a few moves, he was sent flying far away by Fei Bin's palm strike.
Upon seeing this, Lu Bai immediately wanted to step forward and finish off Liu Zhengfeng.
Unexpectedly, Qu Yang had been observing for a long time. Seeing that Liu Zhengfeng was no match for him, he immediately shot out a Black Blood Divine Needle. The hidden weapon killed anyone who touched it and injured anyone who grazed it. The disciples of Songshan Sect fought desperately.
Taking advantage of the moment, Qu Yang pulled Liu Zhengfeng and flew out of the courtyard.
Just as he was about to fly out of the courtyard, Ding Mian also threw out a hidden weapon, which hit Qu Yang in the back.
"Chase him! He's been hit by my hidden weapon; he can't get far."
Yue Yuan clapped his hands. "Sister Yu, the excitement is over. Now it's our turn to get down to business."
"What should we do?"
Yue Yuan sneered, "Of course, I'll become a messenger of justice and save Liu Zhengfeng, this lost little lamb."
