A righteous young hero? But I am a demonic cultist.

Chapter 48. Signing a Joint Defense Agreement with Hengshan 3

Are you Yue Yuan?

Monk Bujie circled him twice, thinking to himself: This lad is indeed handsome and dashing, with a tall and straight figure, no wonder my daughter is so infatuated with him.

But the more handsome a man is, the more likely he is to be a womanizer, with countless women around him.

"Hmph, you slick-haired brat, is it you who's made my daughter lose her appetite and sleep?"

"It's my fault for making Senior Sister Yilin sad."

Something's not right here. Why did this kid admit his mistake? How am I supposed to beat him up now?

No, I need to come up with a reason.

Hey, I've got it.

"Boy, where are my six underlings, the Six Immortals of Peach Valley?"

"I helped them ascend to heaven."

What?

Monk Bujie was secretly alarmed. He knew the Six Immortals of Peach Valley. If this kid could defeat them, his martial arts skills must be quite high.

Never mind, let's test its quality first.

"Boy, you've hurt my daughter so much and hit my little brother. If you don't give me an explanation today, you're not leaving Hengshan."

Upon hearing this, Yilin quickly stepped forward to block between the two, "Father, what are you doing?"

The monk Bujie was also a doting father. As soon as he saw Yilin, his stern face immediately relaxed and bloomed like a chrysanthemum.

"Hehe, daughter, I was just testing him. This kid doesn't look like a good person."

"I know better than anyone whether you're a good person or not. Please leave!"

"Oh, my dear daughter, I'm just worried you'll be fooled by this scumbag!"

Yilin completely ignored him and pulled Yue Yuan into the nunnery.

"Daughter, my good daughter."

Bu Jie called out twice, but seeing that Yi Lin ignored him, he became extremely jealous and slapped Yue Yuan on the back.

With this palm strike, Yue Yuan flew directly into the temple like a kite with a broken string.

"Young Master!"

"teacher!"

Liang Fa and Qin wanted to go forward to check the situation, but Yi Lin pushed them aside.

She held Yue Yuan in her arms, then looked at Bu Jie with some anger.

"What exactly do you want? I've already told you not to interfere in my life, didn't you promise me that?"

Monk Bujie panicked and felt very annoyed. He regretted his impulsiveness and thought he should have waited until no one was around.

Little did they know, Yue Yuan thought the same thing.

When Monk Bujie saw his daughter so sad, he rushed forward to heal Yue Yuan's wounds, but Yilin wouldn't let him touch her and pushed him so hard that he stumbled.

"Go away!"

She wiped away her tears, struggled to help Yue Yuan up, and walked directly to the backyard.

Monk Bujie glanced at her departing figure, then sighed and left Jianxing Peak.

Liang Fa watched the two figures walk away, resting his chin on his hand: "Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of the young sect leader, his skills in picking up girls are superb. He's used the self-inflicted injury trick again and again."

The girl playing the zither slapped his arm. "You're supposed to be his senior brother, how can you be so indifferent to his injury?"

Liang Fa rolled his eyes. "Didn't you see the gesture he made behind his back? He's perfectly fine." Suddenly, he looked at Miss Qin. "But you, in half an hour, Abbess Yilin might need your help!"

After saying that, he returned to his seat. "Everyone, eat and drink well. Nothing happened just now."

Seeing their reaction, Qin could only stomp her foot and storm off to the backyard.

But when she got to the backyard, she was dumbfounded.

Inside the side room, a huge orange cocoon had formed, and the silk threads on the cocoon began to slowly spread into the courtyard, soon reaching her feet.

Before she knew it, her hands and feet were bound, and she was pulled straight towards the giant cocoon.

One hour later...

Qin reappeared in front of Liang Fa.

When Liang Fa saw her staggering steps, he almost burst out laughing.

The girl blushed deeply. "Third Senior Brother, the Young Master is looking for you."

Liang Fa gave a casual reply and then quickly walked to the backyard.

In the backyard, Yue Yuan sat at the stone table brewing tea. When Liang Fa arrived, he pointed to a stone bench and said, "Sit!"

Yue Yuan poured him some tea, pushed it in front of him, and went straight to the point: "Third Senior Brother, how are the people below?"

"They're all quite good. Although they're demons... and although they used to be members of the Sun Moon Cult, they haven't spilled the blood of innocent people on their hands."

"Yes," he nodded, "that's for the best. The tasks ahead may be quite demanding. If there's disunity or people who disagree with us, we need to get rid of them as soon as possible."

Liang Fa nodded. "I understand."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. I accidentally obtained the Five Mountains Sword Technique, and I'll pass it on to you later to increase your combat power. If your martial arts are too weak while you're with me, you'll be in danger."

Liang Fa was overjoyed and immediately clasped his hands in a fist and knelt on one knee: "Thank you, Young Master."

Yue Yuan stepped forward and helped him up, saying, "Third Senior Brother, you're just too polite."

Liang Fa chuckled but didn't say anything.

He understands how to act as a subordinate. Now that they are no longer fellow students, he must do what needs to be done.

Yue Yuan drew his longsword and began to demonstrate the sword techniques of the various sword schools of the Five Sacred Mountains, starting with the Huashan School and ending with the Songshan School, demonstrating each sword technique once.

"Well? Got it?"

Liang Fa nodded. "Young Master, let me demonstrate!"

As he spoke, Liang Fa began his demonstration, and Yue Yuan sat back down on the stone bench to give instructions.

Apart from Linghu Chong, the other disciples of Mount Hua, including Yue Lingshan, all had only average martial arts talent. Even the Five Mountains Sword Technique, which Yue Yuan considered very simple, took them many practice sessions to memorize.

"Squeak~~"

The door to the side room was pushed open, and Yilin walked out of the room.

Upon seeing this, Liang Fa immediately stopped and stepped aside.

"Third senior brother, you go ahead and practice, don't worry about me."

"Yes."

Yue Yuan quickly stood up and pulled her to sit beside him. "Senior Sister Yilin, you've come at the right time. You should learn from her too." After saying that, he looked at Liang Fa and said, "Continue practicing and consolidate your skills once more."

They practiced all night until they had mastered it.

The next morning.

After Hengshan Sanding finished his morning prayers, he invited Yue Yuan to the reception room.

Abbess Dingxian bluntly stated, "Nephew Yue, Hengshan is entirely populated by female disciples. It is quite inappropriate for you people to remain on the mountain. Go down the mountain!"

"Your Excellency is mistaken. We did not enter your nunnery, but stayed in your separate courtyard. It has no impact on Hengshan."

Master Dingyi snorted coldly, "Don't tell me you want to follow the example of Alliance Leader Zuo and have Hengshan join the Huashan Sect?"

"Haha, I have no such idea. I just want to form an alliance with the Hengshan Sect."

"An alliance?"

None of the three nuns understood what he meant.

"Yes, I want to form an alliance with your sect. Zuo Lengchan is ambitious and wants to devour the Five Mountains Sword Sects in one fell swoop. Although I have killed most of his Thirteen Protectors, the strength of Songshan should not be underestimated."

"Simply put, I'm afraid Zuo Lengchan will resort to desperate measures, so I hope that Hengshan will support us when he attacks Huashan."

Just as Master Dingxian was about to refuse, she was stopped by Master Dingjing.

"Junior sister, I think what my nephew Yue said is right. Given Zuo Lengchan's personality, if he can attack Mount Hua, he can also attack us. Just in case, I think we can agree."

Master Dingyi nodded as well.

Dingxian sighed, "Alright, we at Hengshan agree."

Yue Yuan extended his hand and gave a high five to Master Dingxian as a pledge.

"Today, Mount Hua and Mount Heng have formed an alliance to jointly resist external attacks. Anyone who goes against this oath will be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."

Despite the oath made at Luoshui, people still tend to believe in such oaths.

Because the Sima family broke their oath, they were almost entirely wiped out in later generations.

Having successfully formed an alliance with Hengshan, Yue Yuan had achieved his goal and was now about to take Yilin down the mountain.

"Yilin is from Hengshan, and cannot go down the mountain with you."
