Since Dongfang left, Linghu Chong had been practicing his swordsmanship diligently every day. The Nine Beyond Swords was extremely exquisite. Every move he practiced felt like he had entered a whole new world of martial arts. Although the Nine Beyond Swords was divided into 8 moves, each move had 365 variations, and each variation contained dozens of sword moves. Linghu Chong was talented and intelligent. Although he was not as talented as Dongfang, he had already learned the general move and the various variations. In addition, he had been practicing hard day and night. In less than three months, he had roughly mastered all the sword techniques of the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords.
Apart from practicing his sword, Linghu Chong still went back to his grave to pay his respects. He could eat several bowls of rice every day. Whenever he wanted to drink, he would think of Dongfang's words and stop drinking.
As for Lin Pingzhi, after the battle with Dongfang, he felt that his kung fu was still not as good as Dongfang's. After all, Dongfang had practiced the Sunflower Manual for more than ten years, and his internal force was also more profound than his. Thinking of this, Lin Pingzhi came back to practice the Hunyuan Divine Skill. The Hunyuan Divine Art and the Sunflower Manual actually came from the same lineage. The Hunyuan Divine Art mainly focused on cultivating qi. Every time he fought with others, he would cover his entire body with internal energy, making him invulnerable. It was a supreme martial art for defense, but every battle required a lot of internal energy. The Sunflower Manual was a supreme offensive martial art. If one practiced both at the same time, they would complement each other, and the cultivator's strength would increase greatly. Lin Pingzhi smiled and said,"I've already learned the Star Assimilation Technique by accident. It's nothing to use up some internal energy. I'll just absorb as much as I use. If Li Kun had learned the Star Assimilation Technique back then, he wouldn't have been defeated by others."
Lin Pingzhi had just started learning the Origin Power and the complete Sunflower Manual. He had made some progress in a few months. Recently, Lin Pingzhi had destroyed more than ten sects, including the Sea Sand Sect, the Infinite Sect, and the Giant Whale Sect. No one survived. Every expert died of internal energy exhaustion. It was obvious that it was caused by the Star Sucking Grand Magic. Every time he destroyed a sect, he wrote on the wall,"First destroy the Five Mountains Sect, then destroy the Demon Sect." Since then, the Jianghu has been in panic. The small sects were afraid that Lin Ping had come to destroy them. Some disciples simply quit their sects and returned to the countryside to hide. The Five Mountain Sword Sect and the five major sects in the martial arts world were also on guard. After discussion, they decided to hold a martial arts world convention at the Spiritual Vulture Temple on February 15th to discuss how to eliminate Lin Pingzhi. Those invited to participate were Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Kunlun, Kongtong, Five Mountains Sect, the number one sect in the world-Sun Moon Sect, the number one gang in the world-Beggar's Sect. Some small sects also volunteered to participate.
One day, Linghu Chong was practicing his swordsmanship in his room when a Shaolin disciple sent him an invitation to the Martial Arts Circle Convention. When Linghu Chong heard that Lin Pingzhi had wiped out more than ten gangs and thousands of people in Jianghu, he was shocked. He told the young monk," Please go back and tell Master Fangzheng that Linghu Chong will definitely go to Shaoshi Mountain on February 15th."
On the tenth day of February, Linghu Chong paid his last respects to Ren Yingying and rushed to Henan. It was already late that day, so they went to the inn to rest. Once they entered the inn, the waiter said,"Guests, please come in." Ling Huchong didn't answer him. He went in and found a table to sit down. Then he said to the waiter," Waiter, give me a few steamed buns and some side dishes." After saying that, Ling Huchong poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.
"Sir, do you not want wine? The Bamboo Leaf Green Tea here is famous for its sweetness and doesn't go to your head. Why don't we…" The waiter said excitedly.
" No, give me what I want. Hurry up, I need to rest."
The waiter tactfully left. At this time, Linghu Chong realized that there were many Jianghu people in the inn. Some of them were holding weapons and were drinking while playing boxing. Some of them were drinking too much and began to talk about their heroic deeds...
Ling Huchong took a sip of tea and muttered to himself,"It looks like these people are here for the Martial Arts Circle Convention, but they'll only cause trouble."
At this moment, a young master in his thirties sat down next to Ling Huchong with a pot of wine in his hand. She sat down and ignored him. Then, she took a sip of wine and said,"The people who love drinking like their lives in Jianghu have stopped drinking. This is really another rumor in Jianghu."
When Linghu Chong saw that person, he felt a sense of familiarity." Brother Dong, it's you?”She smiled happily.
"Hero Linghu, a few months ago, I went to Apricot Village to look for you, but you weren't there. Are you going to Shaolin Temple to participate in the Martial Arts Circle Convention?”Dongfang took a sip of wine and poured another cup for Linghu Chong.
" Brother Dong, I won't drink anymore. Yingying lost her life at Mei Zhuang a few months ago. If I can't avenge her, I swear I won't drink for the rest of my life." Ling Huchong was now dejected. He had been holding back his sorrow for several months, and now he could finally talk to a confidant. Then, he told Dongfang everything that had happened in the past few months. At this moment, he felt very relaxed. The person in front of him made him feel so full of trust. Dong Fang listened to him excitedly. Sometimes, he was silent, sometimes he looked at Linghu Chong quietly, and sometimes he sighed. Linghu Chong only cared about talking to himself and did not notice the change in Dong Fang's expression.
After saying that, Linghu Chong asked,"Brother Dong, do you think all of this is my fault?" If it wasn't for me, Yingying wouldn't have died, Lin Pingzhi wouldn't have escaped, the servants wouldn't have died, and the dozens of sects in the pugilistic world wouldn't have been wiped out.
" Your way of thinking is too extreme. Everything in the world is already decided, and it's not something you can change. All you have to do is work hard to complete what you want to do. You can't stop any other unexpected factors." Dongfang Dao said to Linghu Chong.
Linghu Chong nodded thoughtfully.
Dongfang asked again,"Who do you think killed Yingying?"”
Ling Huchong thought for a long time and said," My mind is in a mess right now. I don't know either. I don't believe that Invincible East killed her, but I can't ignore what Yingying said and what I saw. I really don't know what's going on."
" Since you don't know, then go and find out the truth. Don't frown like this. I don't want to see the unrestrained and humorous Linghu Chong become a taciturn old man." Dongfang handed him another glass of wine." Drink this glass to relieve your sorrow. Don't drink too much. It's fine to drink a few glasses. I think the people who care about you don't want you to become like this."
Ling Huchong looked at Brother Dong and felt that he was really his confidant. He knew what he was thinking and what he was troubled about. He took the wine and drank it in one gulp." Alright, I'll listen to Brother Dong." After saying that, Poop placed his hand on Dongfang's shoulder. Seeing this, Dongfang quickly got up and said," It's better to eat quickly so that we can travel tomorrow."
"Why is Brother Dong going to Shaolin Temple? "Brother Dong, why do you care so much about Jianghu?" Linghu Chong asked in confusion.
"Have you forgotten that I like to inquire about things in the martial arts world? Since there's such a grand event in Jianghu, why don't I join in the fun?”
The two of them wanted to book a room to rest after dinner, but the waiter said," Because there are many Jianghu people passing by recently, there is only one room left in our restaurant. Please look at this..." The waiter said awkwardly.
" One room is fine. We are all men, so it's okay to stay in the same room." Ling Huchong looked at the east with a smile and said.
Dongfang Gang wanted to say something, but Linghu Chong beat him to it. He followed the waiter and Linghu Chong into the guest room and asked angrily," Why is there only one bed here? And the room is so small?" "Waiter, get me a bigger room and I'll pay you double." After saying that, he prepared to take out some silver.
"I'm really sorry, but the rooms in this small shop are all of this size. This small shop's business can't compare to those big restaurants, so please be more particular. Alright, it's getting late. The two of you should rest early. If there's anything, just let me know." After saying that, he slowly left the room and closed the door.
Seeing this, Dongfang didn't know whether to sit or stand. Then, he went forward and opened the door again. He poured tea and drank it alone.
Linghu Chong was taking off his shoes and socks when he saw Dongfang, he felt strange and asked,"What's wrong with Brother Dong?" Why did you open the door?"
Dongfang panicked when she heard this. She took a sip of tea and said," Nothing, nothing. I'm just a little hot. Yes, a little hot."”
Ling Huchong heard this and stepped forward. He touched Dongfang's forehead and said," Is it hot? Why don't I feel that way? Brother Dong, are you having a fever?”
Dongfang's face was flushed red by his sudden action. She looked at Linghu Chong shyly. Her heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was about to jump out of her body. Her hands were also covered in sweat. Linghu Chong saw this and held Dongfang's hand."Brother Dong, your palms are sweaty and your face is red. Are you uncomfortable?"”
Dongfang turned his head abruptly and took a sip of tea. He said hurriedly," Didn't I say I was hot? Her face wasn't red and her hands weren't sweaty. How could she say that she was hot? You big fool." Then, she sat down angrily and said," Go to sleep first. I'll sit down for a while."
Linghu Chong felt that he was very strange, but he did not dare to ask more questions and lay down to sleep. It took Dongfang a long time to slowly calm down. Seeing that Linghu Chong was still awake, he asked again,"Linghu Chong, do you hate Dongfang Bubai now?"”
Ling Huchong turned around and said,"I love and hate her. He saved me many times. Without her, I would have died many times. I know he loves me deeply, but I can't understand some of her actions. I don't know how to face him now. Let's wait until everything is over." With that, she fell asleep.
Dongfang stood up and looked at his serene appearance. He said softly,"I don't know how to face you as Invincible Dongfang."
The next day, the sound of the rooster crowing resounded throughout the inn. Linghu Chong opened his eyes and stretched his body. When he was about to get up, he realized that Dongfang was already standing by the window and looking into the distance.
Linghu Chong yawned and said,"Brother Dong, you're up so early." Did you sleep well last night?
Dongfang said to her with slightly reddened eyes," It's alright. I slept well. Let's hurry up and eat breakfast. Let's hurry on our way."
Linghu Chong quickly said yes and stood up.
After the two of them rushed on without stopping, they arrived at the Shaolin Temple that evening. At this time, they found that the Shaolin Temple was already crowded with thousands of people. The major sects had already arrived.
