Chapter 168 Lin Pingzhi's Choice.
After escorting Yilin back to the city and instructing her to hide well, Yang Ke left after the Hengshan Sect members arrived.
Lin Pingzhi is probably hiding in Huiyan Tower in disguise right now, so Yang Ke naturally wants to have a good talk with him.
"Lin Pingzhi?"
Lin Pingzhi's disguise skills were quite average; Yang Ke found him after a careful search.
"I... I'm not Lin Pingzhi, you've mistaken me for someone else."
Lin Pingzhi never expected that he would be caught as soon as he hid in the city, and he quickly denied it.
"If you want to change your fate and avenge your Lin family, then come with me."
Yang Ke shook his head, ignoring Lin Pingzhi's reaction, and gestured for him to follow.
After the two arrived at Yang Ke's room, he didn't waste any words and directly tossed the robe containing the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual to Lin Pingzhi.
"This is the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual that almost wiped out your Lin family. If you want revenge, you can copy this sword technique."
Giving Lin Pingzhi the sword technique would be so much better; he could easily wipe out the Qingcheng Sect.
What, you agreed to Yu Canghai's request?
You believe what the villain says?
"Why are you giving me this? Who are you?!"
Lin Pingzhi was very excited when he received the cassock, but this excitement was not happiness, but rather deep sadness.
Because his family really didn't know what the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual was, they only knew that their ancestors had it, but Lin Pingzhi's parents hadn't mastered it, and it seemed that they had only practiced an abridged version.
"It's simple. I need an obedient subordinate, but this subordinate's martial arts skills are too poor right now."
"You'd better take a look at what's written in the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, and you'll understand why no one in your Lin family practices this sword technique left by our ancestors."
Yang Ke revealed his purpose and the issues with the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual.
"How could this be? Is this real?"
After listening, Lin Pingzhi didn't care about anything about working for Yang Ke. He just wanted to know why his Lin family had the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual that was coveted by others, but no one knew how to use it. However, when he saw the first sentence of the sword technique, he was dumbfounded.
Nothing else, the first line of the sword technique is: "To practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself."
Goodness, for a normal young man, this is like winning the lottery, only to find out he bought the wrong ticket. You really need some life experience to handle this kind of contrast.
Actually, the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique is somewhat unconventional, aiming for rapid and swift mastery.
Lin Pingzhi advanced to the Grandmaster level by relying on the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, but since the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique was originally a secondary skill derived from the Sunflower Manual, its upper limit was limited.
However, his peak was only at the early stage of Grandmaster, mainly due to insufficient internal energy.
Yue Buqun possessed the Zixia Divine Skill and later switched to practicing the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique, naturally reaching the peak of the Grandmaster level. Therefore, dealing with Ren Woxing, who was at the late Grandmaster level, was not so difficult.
In fact, Linghu Chong did not reach the level of Grandmaster in the later stages of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer; at most, he was at the peak of Grandmaster. It was just that his martial arts were naturally countered by the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique.
This is a low-level martial arts world; the only ones who can reach the level of Grandmaster are like Dongfang Bubai.
He single-handedly defeated Ren Woxing, Linghu Chong, Ren Yingying, Xiang Wentian, and others. If he hadn't had a weakness, who could have stood a chance against him?
Feng Qingyang, well, he took a different path, but the Huashan Sect possesses the world's number one internal skill, the Zixia Divine Skill.
Despite Feng Qingyang being a member of the Sword Sect, the Huashan Sect did not initially have the distinction between the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect. It was only after Huashan disciples Yue Su and Cai Zifeng secretly read the "Sunflower Manual" during their visit to the Southern Shaolin Temple that the Huashan Sect developed into the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect.
"Think about it."
"If you don't want to practice, that's fine too. Just find a place to hide for ten or eight years. The Qingcheng Sect will be wiped out sooner or later."
Seeing Lin Pingzhi struggling with his decision, Yang Ke offered a second solution.
That's what he said, but if Lin Pingzhi didn't agree, he would dump Lin Pingzhi's corpse on the Qingcheng Sect and make them take the blame.
"I must train! I will personally avenge the Lin family!"
After learning that the massacre was a setup by the Qingcheng Sect and not because he had mistakenly killed Yu Canghai's youngest son, Lin Pingzhi was filled with hatred. Now that he had the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, why shouldn't he pay for it?
Oh, the Qingcheng Sect didn't keep Lin Zhennan and his wife like in the original drama, since the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual wasn't on them.
Now that only Lin Pingzhi is left in the Lin family, there's naturally nothing he can't bear to part with.
"That's fine, go ahead and copy it down."
"No one knows about this room. Once you start cultivating these next two days, have the waiter notify me, and I will give you guidance."
The original cannot be given away, mainly because Yang Ke still needs to take the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual to Yue Buqun to exchange it for someone else.
First, train Lin Pingzhi to be a top-notch expert, so that he can work for me in the future.
Yang Ke didn't linger. He knew Lin Pingzhi hadn't really made up his mind, but it didn't matter. At worst, he could have the Qingcheng Sect bring the bodies of Lin Zhennan and his wife in exchange for the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual.
Of course, the Qingcheng Sect was just an employee from beginning to end. Yang Ke would not give them the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual, and would also reveal at the appropriate time that the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual had fallen into Yue Buqun's hands.
Well, Yang Ke really knows how to make the most of a fish.
After speaking with Lin Pingzhi, Yang Ke saw Yilin again, with Tiansong Daoren with her.
Tian Song Dao Ren is the junior brother of Tian Men Zhen Ren, the head of the Tai Shan Sect. His martial arts skills are mediocre, and as for his intelligence...
If even Linghu Chong could be falsely accused of kidnapping Yilin, then you can imagine what kind of person he was.
However, because the Taishan Sect was not strong enough, it often allied with the Hengshan Sect. So when it learned that Yilin had been rescued by Tian Boguang, it immediately protected her, intending to do the Hengshan Sect a favor.
At the same time, he was also very interested in Yang Ke of the Hengshan Sect, who had saved Yilin.
After all, the Taishan Sect was the weakest of the Five Sacred Mountains, and it would have been difficult for them to capture Tian Boguang, but Tian Boguang died at the hands of Yang Ke.
Therefore, he brought Yilin to Huiyan Tower mainly to ask Yang Ke for details.
Although Yang Ke saw Yi Lin, he did not go over to greet her, mainly because Daoist Tian Song was there.
The next day, Linghu Chong also brought Yue Lingshan to Huiyan Tower.
It just goes to show that the protagonist is different. As soon as Linghu Chong and his companion arrived, the Qingcheng Sect members who came later immediately started making trouble for them.
When the Huashan Sect and the Qingcheng Sect had a conflict, Daoist Tiansong naturally wouldn't intervene.
Just kidding. Their Mount Tai Sect was already at the bottom of the Five Mountains Sword Sects. Getting involved in this matter would only make things difficult for them.
He even hoped that the younger generation of the Huashan Sect and the Qingcheng Sect would suffer mutual destruction.
Linghu Chong is actually quite strong, but unfortunately, although he was saved by Qu Yang a couple of days ago, the internal injuries he sustained from being beaten by Yu Canghai have not yet healed.
Seeing that Daoist Tiansong was present, the Qingcheng Sect would naturally not actually kill the senior disciple of the Huashan Sect, but crippling him would be no problem.
Knowing that her parents had arrived today, Yue Lingshan immediately ran out of the inn to find reinforcements after seeing that Linghu Chong was unable to hold out.
Soon, Abbess Dingyi, the head of the Hengshan Sect and the abbess of Baiyun Temple, also arrived at the restaurant. She had been drawn there by the news about Daoist Tiansong.
The main reason was that he was anxious when he learned that Yilin had been kidnapped.
The inn was quite lively at this time, except that Yue Buqun from the Huashan Sect and Yu Canghai from the Qingcheng Sect had not yet arrived, but the situation was under control.
After all, the Hengshan Sect and the Taishan Sect are among the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects. How could they possibly stand by and watch the Qingcheng Sect do something to the senior disciple of the Huashan Sect?
