Chapter 46 Reunion at the Liu Residence
Tianmen angrily retorted, "How can the Demonic Sect and the Qingcheng Sect be lumped together like this!"
Yue Buqun replied coldly, "The former leader of the Qingcheng Sect, Yu Canghai, personally led his disciples to Fujian, using the pretext of revenge to seize the Lin family's Evil-Slaying Sword Manual. How is such behavior any better than that of the Demonic Sect?"
Tianmen was rendered speechless by Yue Buqun's retort. Yue Buqun softened his tone and said, "Senior Brother Tianmen, please don't take offense. I was merely expressing my own opinion. Lord Wu?"
Wu Qingcang was staring intently at Yue Buqun, feeling that this "Gentleman Swordsman" before him seemed somewhat different from the legends. But he couldn't quite put his finger on why. Hearing Yue Buqun ask him a question, he snapped out of his reverie and nodded.
"Hmm, what Sect Leader Yue said is exactly what I was thinking. I'm getting old and my speech isn't as good as it used to be, so I won't repeat what Sect Leader Yue said."
Tianmen and Dingyi both frowned. If Wu Qingcang agreed, the score would now be two to two. And the fifth person was none other than Mr. Mo Da, Liu Zhengfeng's fellow disciple.
Everyone turned their expectant gazes to Master Mo, but Liu Zhengfeng stared down at his toes, his face pale. Outsiders might not understand, but he knew his senior brother, the sect leader, very well—seemingly old, but actually domineering. He had dragged so many fellow martial artists into this mess for his own selfish reasons; Master Mo would surely be deeply angered by him, and the outcome was self-evident.
Mr. Mo's gaze swept across Liu Zhengfeng's face like a knife, and stopped on Qu Yang's face.
"Mr. Qu, we've heard you're a highly skilled musician. Would you do us the honor of playing a piece for us?"
Everyone was surprised, wondering what Master Mo meant by this. Qu Yang smiled slightly: "Why not?" Wu Qingcang immediately ordered someone to set up an altar and burn incense in the hall. Qu Yang took the guqin off his back, placed it on the altar, and gently pressed and plucked the strings. The melodious sound of the guqin came out from his hands.
Yue Feng and the others were chatting idly in another room when they heard the music and gathered around. Suddenly, Qu Yang's melodious music changed, mixed with some indescribable metallic sounds, seemingly foreshadowing the fierce competition at the Golden Basin Washing Hands Ceremony.
Master Mo sighed deeply, "Music is the voice of the heart; it cannot be faked. Such skill in playing the zither makes you worthy of being my friend!"
Qu Yang rose and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Mo Da."
At first, Liu Zhengfeng couldn't believe that Master Mo had actually agreed. It wasn't until Qu Yang bowed to Master Mo and patted him on the shoulder that he knelt down, bowed his head, and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you... for your understanding, Senior Brother Sect Leader."
Master Mo helped Liu Zhengfeng up and brushed the dust off his knees: "How old are you? How can you just bow down like that? You're much younger than me. The responsibility of the Hengshan Sect will be passed on to you in the future!"
Witnessing this scene, everyone couldn't help but think, "In the end, they are still our own fellow disciples. No matter how bad they are on ordinary days, they will still protect each other in times of crisis." Everyone thought of their own situation. Tianmen sighed heavily, while Dingyi and Yue Buqun both glanced at Yue Feng outside the door.
In the afternoon, after seeing off Yue Buqun and his group who were heading to Mount Hua, the group went with Liu Zhengfeng to Liu's residence. After settling in, Liu Zhengfeng hosted a banquet in the evening to entertain the heroes who had come to his aid. Liu Zhengfeng's family and disciples also attended the banquet.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Liu Zhengfeng seated Yue Feng and his daughter Liu Jing together, while placing Wu Shuangxue's seat to the side.
Liu Jing was a beautiful young woman of sixteen, and although she was from a well-to-do family, she quickly lost her composure after a few words from Yue Feng and began to chat with him happily.
Liu Jing's cheerful laughter occasionally rang out from the table. Wu Shuangxue ate her food in silence, ignoring everything, but the knuckles of her fingers holding the wine glass turned slightly white.
That evening, Yue Feng returned to his room and, thinking that the Golden Basin Washing Hands Ceremony was just a few days away, opened the control panel.

【Yi Rong·Maha Vajra Finger: Introduction】
Yue Feng hesitated for a long time between the Giant Spirit Golden Body and the Maha Vajra Finger martial arts. One was his foundation, and the other was his trump card against Cao Yi.
Based on past skill point allocation records, 160 points should be enough to max out the Giant Spirit Golden Body. However, if one point is allocated to improving the level of the Maha Vajra Finger, it definitely won't be enough.
After some consideration, Yue Feng decided to upgrade the Giant Spirit Golden Body. The Yang energy of the Giant Spirit Golden Body significantly enhances the Maha Vajra Finger technique; upgrading the Giant Spirit Golden Body is essentially an indirect upgrade of the Maha Vajra Finger. Not to mention, the Giant Spirit Golden Body's protective function has saved him countless times.

Congratulations on mastering the new ultimate skill: Palm Force - Yu the Great Splits the Mountain
The instant the information on the panel was updated, the amount of true qi in Yue Feng's body increased more than tenfold, and its quality became more solid and dense, like extremely hot magma flowing slowly through his meridians.
A wealth of information simultaneously flooded Yue Feng's mind, revealing all the secrets of the Great Yu's Mountain-Splitting Technique. This technique, prefixed with "Palm Power," truly lacked any set moves; it was purely about concentrating true qi and physical strength into a single palm strike, unleashing it to crush the enemy. Its domineering power rivaled that of the Maha Vajra Finger, yet its principles and applications were entirely different.
Just then, a large cockroach crawled out from somewhere and passed in front of Yue Feng. Yue Feng raised his hand and gently pressed down from a distance of about ten feet. The air between Yue Feng's palm and the cockroach seemed to be compressed instantly, producing a muffled and terrifying explosion. The cockroach, along with the surrounding bricks within a foot radius, all turned into dust.
Yue Feng clicked his tongue: "The cleanliness of this Liu residence isn't very good either. I have to clean it myself."
Just then, someone knocked on the door, and Liu Jing asked softly in a gentle voice, "Young Master Yue, are you alright?"
Yue Feng was quite surprised. He got up and opened the door. Liu Jing looked shy and said to Yue Feng, "I... I just happened to be passing by and heard some noise coming from your room, so I came to see what was going on."
Yue Feng stepped aside, pointed to the cockroach carcasses on the ground, and laughed, "I killed that little bug."
Seeing the horrific scene on the ground, Liu Jing's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, then she smiled and said with a smile, "Young Master Yue, with such excellent martial arts skills, isn't it a waste to use them to kill insects?"
Seeing that Liu Jing had actually started chatting with him, Yue Feng figured that this young lady must not have just happened to be passing by, so he asked her directly, "Miss Liu, is there something you need from me?"
Liu Jing nodded somewhat embarrassedly: "I know this request is a bit excessive... but, Young Master Yue, could you please give me some pointers on martial arts? I heard that some bad guys will try to cause trouble at my father's retirement ceremony, and I'd like to do my part then."
