Chapter 27 Yue Buqun
Seeing Yue Lingshan take the initiative to attack Zhao Yu, Lao Denuo's expression instantly turned serious, and he quietly took a half step back.
He didn't even see Zhao Yu's attack clearly just now.
If the other party really wanted their lives, it would be incredibly easy for them.
He was originally an undercover agent planted by Zuo Lengchan in Huashan, and he had no real affection for the people of Huashan Sect. At this moment, he was even more determined to have Yue Lingshan go forward to test the waters, while he would observe quietly from the sidelines and find out the origin of this mysterious young man before making any moves.
But his goal ultimately failed; Yue Lingshan had no chance of even touching Zhao Yu's clothes.
Zhao Yu swayed and leaped back onto the roof ridge. He slowly shook the mask in his hand, and the mask disappeared in the next moment.
"Want it? Then come up and get it. Didn't you want to watch the show? This is the best view, the clearest view. Come up and watch with us."
Yue Lingshan stomped her foot in anger, wanting to chase after him, but hesitated.
She turned to look at Laudenuo and asked in a low voice, "Second Senior Brother, what should we do? This person's origins are unknown, and his martial arts are superb. Should we go up against him?"
At that moment, she was completely unaware that her second senior brother had just tried to make her step on a landmine.
Laudenuo pondered for a moment, then nodded and said in a deep voice, "It's good to go up and take a look. This person's sudden appearance and instigation of the battle between the Qingcheng Sect and the Demonic Sect means he's definitely not a simple person. It's a good opportunity to find out his background. Don't worry, with me here, I won't let anything happen to you."
With the plan settled, the two of them lightly touched the ground with their toes and leaped onto the roof ridge, standing a few feet away from Zhao Yu.
Laudenuo bowed slightly to Zhao Yu, his tone steady yet tinged with a hint of probing: "May I ask your esteemed name, young hero? Who is your master? And why have you come to this place and formed a feud with the Demonic Sect?"
Zhao Yu didn't turn his head, still watching the battle below, and said calmly, "According to the rules of the martial world, shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking about someone's background? Don't you even understand this basic etiquette? Is this how your Huashan Sect masters taught you?"
Upon hearing this, both Laudenuo and Yue Lingshan's expressions changed simultaneously.
They thought their disguise was flawless, but little did they know that the other party had seen through their identities from the very beginning.
Yue Lingshan, who was straightforward by nature, couldn't hold back any longer. Her eyebrows furrowed as she was about to argue with Zhao Yu, but Lao Denuo stopped her.
Laudenuo took a deep breath and bowed to Zhao Yu again: "I apologize for my rudeness. We are disciples of the Huashan Sect, and we have come to Fuzhou on our master's orders to handle some private matters. May I ask which sect or school you are a disciple of, young hero?"
"The Huashan Sect?" Zhao Yu turned his head with a half-smile, his gaze falling on Lao Denuo.
Those eyes seemed to see right through people, making Laudenau's heart skip a beat. He instinctively shivered, sensing something was wrong.
Who exactly is this person? Why is he looking at me like that? Could it be that he...?
Zhao Yu shook his head, no longer pressing the matter. Instead, he raised his voice and said loudly, "Sect Leader Yue, now that you're here, why hide? Your two outstanding disciples have already come up; are you going to stay down here and watch?"
Yue Lingshan was taken aback when she heard this. She subconsciously looked around. In the empty streets and alleys, there was not a single person in sight except for them.
She immediately retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? My father never came to Fuzhou. Stop trying to scare me!"
Zhao Yu sneered.
not coming?
His Northern Darkness True Qi had already spread all around, and no movement of the grass or wind within dozens of feet could escape his perception.
Who else could it be but Yue Buqun, the figure hiding under the eaves not far away, exuding the aura of a true Xuanmen sect?
The Huashan Sect traces its origins back to the Quanzhen Sect, both being Taoist lineages. Zhao Yu's Beiming Divine Skill is a Taoist masterpiece.
Using this method to sense the aura will never be wrong.
At this time and in this place, who else could be such a master with such internal strength but Lao Yue?
Although it wasn't written in the original novel, the fact that Yue Buqun sent his daughter proves that he was already aware of Yu Canghai's purpose.
Given this, isn't he worried that Yu Canghai will beat him to it?
This hypocrite has been coveting the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual for quite some time now. The Qingcheng Sect is about to take action against the Fuwei Escort Agency. At such a crucial moment, how could he only send two disciples while he himself stays comfortably on Mount Hua?
Could he really expect a mere, immature daughter and a treacherous traitor to help him seize the sword manual?
Therefore, based on the above speculations, Zhao Yu is 80% certain that the person he senses is Yue Buqun.
Zhao Yu casually raised his hand, and a silver needle shot out from his fingertip, as fast as lightning, heading straight for the eaves not far away.
With a soft "whoosh," a gray figure suddenly darted out from the seemingly empty shadows. Its movements were incredibly fast, and it was about to circle around the alley entrance and disappear into a distant house.
Yue Lingshan's eyes widened in surprise.
She and Laudenau squatted nearby for almost half an hour without noticing that there was someone hiding there!
Her first reaction was disbelief. Her father was a renowned gentleman swordsman, how could he be hiding in the shadows so furtively?
But Laudenau, standing to the side, was inwardly in turmoil.
He was almost certain that the figure was Yue Buqun.
Don't forget, who sent him and Yue Lingshan to Fuzhou? And who taught them all their martial arts skills?
With Yue Buqun's cultivation level, it would be incredibly easy for him and Yue Lingshan to deceive him.
Just as the gray figure was about to disappear into the alley, Zhao Yu had already used his Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to appear in the path he was destined to take, blocking his way.
"Sect Leader Yue, you've come all this way to Fuzhou, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Besides, you haven't seen your daughter in so long, don't you want to reunite with her?"
Zhao Yu chuckled and pushed out his right palm flat.
The palm strike appeared gentle, but it concealed endless variations, aiming directly at Yue Buqun's path.
When Yue Buqun saw that his path was blocked, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, but he did not engage Zhao Yu in combat at all.
With a twist of his waist, he was about to climb over the wall next to him.
But to his utter surprise, Zhao Yu's palm strike, which seemed to have reached its limit, suddenly changed direction, like a bone-deep infection, and struck straight at his back!
This is the mystery of Bai Hong's palm technique: it can bend and straight as desired, and is unpredictable. Yue Buqun had never seen such a strange palm technique in his life.
Beneath the mask, Yue Buqun's expression changed drastically, a hint of purple rising to his cheeks. In a hurry, he turned around to greet them.
The two palms clasped together, and a muffled "thump" was heard!
Yue Buqun felt an unimaginably powerful force surge towards him, like a raging storm, causing his blood and qi to surge, his arms to go numb, and his body to involuntarily stop in place.
In that instant, Zhao Yu flashed again, and with a flick of his finger, tore off the black cloth covering Yue Buqun's face.
A handsome, upright face was revealed.
It was Yue Buqun, the leader of the Huashan Sect, known as the "Gentleman Sword".
