Inside Liu Zhengfeng's residence, all the invited sects of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, except the Songshan Sect, have arrived.
"My fellow martial artists, today is the day I retire from martial arts. I am deeply grateful for your kindness!"
A smile appeared on Liu Zhengfeng's upright face, and he clasped his fists towards everyone present.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Liu San? Of course we have to give you face!"
"Haha, Mr. Liu San is joking!"
"Mr. Liu San, you're too polite!"
…
Some people from small sects present spoke politely to Liu Zhengfeng.
The Taishan and Hengshan sects, which belong to the Five Mountains Sword Sects, just nodded slightly in greeting.
Just like Master Dingyi, as the head of one of the Five Mountains, Liu Zhengfeng could never compare to her in terms of status and position. Being able to come here to participate in his retirement was already a great honor to her.
As the leader of Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun was much more enthusiastic than Master Dingyi and Taoist Tianmen.
"Junior Brother Liu is so talented and has superb swordsmanship, but he's retiring from the martial arts world. What a shame!"
Yue Buqun said this with pretended regret, but Liu Zhengfeng smiled carefreely.
"Haha, Senior Brother Yue, there's no need to be like this. I've been managing the Hengshan Sect on behalf of the Sect Leader for these years, and I'm already exhausted and unable to do anything.
Being able to retire successfully this time is a great blessing for me, Liu!"
"Haha! Since Master Liu is so determined, I can only congratulate you!"
Suddenly, the crowd saw an official in official uniform walk in from the door, followed by several officers.
Just when everyone was puzzled, they saw the official taking a scroll from the tray held by the officer beside him.
"The imperial edict has arrived, Liu Zhengfeng will receive it!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengfeng hurried forward, knelt before the imperial edict, and kowtowed three times.
"Your humble servant Liu Zhengfeng obeys your orders. Long live the emperor."
The official unrolled the scroll and read, "By the providence of Heaven... I grant you the rank of Lieutenant General. You will serve the court and live up to my expectations. I decree this."
"What?"
The heroes were stunned. They could never have imagined that Liu Zhengfeng's purpose of retiring was to become an official in the court!
In an instant, they looked down on Liu Zhengfeng, the second-in-command of the Hengshan Sect.
People in the underworld all look down on the imperial court to some extent.
The two words "hawk and dog" are enough to explain the attitude of people in the underworld towards the court.
Liu Zhengfeng exchanged a few polite words with the official, gave him some silver, and then sent him out of the Liu Mansion with a smile on his face.
At this time, the heroes looked at Liu Zhengfeng's various behaviors and looked down on him again.
"Junior Brother Liu, you...why are you doing this?" Yue Buqun sighed.
"Yes! What's so good about being an official in the court?" Tianmen Taoist said indignantly.
"Junior Brother Liu, please think twice!" Master Dingyi advised kindly.
Liu Zhengfeng smiled bitterly, "I have made up my mind, there is no need to persuade me anymore!"
Several people looked at Liu Zhengfeng and were suddenly speechless.
Soon, the servants of Liu's mansion prepared the banquet and the heroes took their seats.
“My dear senior heroes, my dear friends, my dear young friends.
Brother, I will retire from the underworld today and will no longer interfere in the affairs of the martial arts world... If I disobey you, I will be punished like this sword!"
After saying that, Liu Zhengfeng drew out a long sword from his robe, and with a snap of his hands, the sword tip broke into two pieces. He broke the long sword and let the two broken pieces fall. With two light "chi" sounds, the broken sword was inserted into the blue brick.
The heroes had different expressions, some were shocked and some were regretful. Liu Zhengfeng ignored them and immediately walked towards the golden basin that had been prepared long ago. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to put his clothes into the basin.
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, there was a loud shout outside the door. Liu Zhengfeng's face changed and his hands moved faster.
"Bang!"
The golden basin shattered and water droplets splashed everywhere.
"Brother Liu, why are you so anxious to retire?"
The heroes were shocked and looked towards the door, only to see a middle-aged man wearing the clothes of the Songshan School, with dozens of disciples following him, blocking the door.
"One of the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan, Fei Bin!"
Upon seeing this, Master Dingyi's face lit up with joy. Alliance Leader Zuo sent people to stop Junior Brother Liu from retiring. Presumably, there was another turn of events!
"By order of Alliance Leader Zuo, Liu Zhengfeng is ordered to postpone his retirement!"
…
Lin Lang was watching all this at the scene. Liu Zhengfeng's family had already been rescued, and the conversation between Songshan School and Liu Zhengfeng was becoming more and more intense.
"Liu Zhengfeng, if you insist on not killing Qu Yang, can you bear to see your whole family die?"
Fei Bin sneered, while Liu Zhengfeng turned pale and said angrily: "The disaster did not affect my family. Your Songshan Sect is really despicable!"
Ding Mian sneered: "Someone come! Bring..."
"Uncle Master, something terrible has happened! All the disciples guarding the place have been killed, and Liu Zhengfeng's family is missing!"
A disciple suddenly ran over and said hurriedly.
"What? How is that possible?"
Fei Bin and the others were furious. They pointed at Liu Zhengfeng and shouted angrily, "Liu Zhengfeng, you are so bold! You actually dared to kill a disciple of my Songshan Sect!"
Liu Zhengfeng snorted coldly when he heard this.
"Humph! When you threatened Liu's family before, did you ever think about Liu's feelings?
You actually have the nerve to question Liu!"
"you!"
Fei Bin was furious and said to Ding Mian and Lu Bai beside him, "Junior brothers, let's take action and capture Liu Zhengfeng and hand him over to the headmaster for punishment!"
"Alright! If you dare to kill my Songshan Sect disciples, you must pay the price!"
Ding Mian and Lu Bai nodded.
“Clang!!!”
The disciples of the Songshan School drew their swords, and the situation was about to break out. Yue Buqun, Master Dingyi and others tried to persuade them, but to no avail.
