At this moment, everyone present was still immersed in the harmonious blend of the qin and xiao from the "Laughing at the World" piece, savoring it for a long time and unable to extricate themselves!
Liu Zhengfeng accepted the flute, glanced at Qu Yang, and said with a smile:
“Brother Qu, this song has already been played in the world, and you and I have already performed it. What more could one ask for in life?”
Qu Yang smiled and said:
"We connect with each other from the heart, and make friends through joy. So what if others don't understand?"
Hearing what the two said, Wang Yang regained his composure and smiled calmly:
"There will be many more days for the two of you to play the qin and xiao together in the future."
While others might not know this, Wang Yang was extremely clear about it.
In the original novel, Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang ultimately died by severing their own meridians.
Their duet of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" has since become a lost art.
After hearing what Wang Yang said, Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang smiled at each other, feeling extremely grateful to Wang Yang.
Before this, they were very worried because the forces behind the two men would cause them great trouble.
But Wang Yang's appearance changed everything.
Just then, Mo Da got up and came to Wang Yang's side.
"Alliance Leader Wang!"
He looked at Wang Yang and bowed.
"Um?"
Upon seeing this, Wang Yang was slightly surprised and uttered a question in doubt:
"Mr. Mo, what are you doing?"
Mo Da pursed his lips and replied, "Alliance Leader Wang, I have a favor to ask, and I hope you can grant it."
"oh?"
Wang Yang exclaimed in surprise: "An unreasonable request?"
Mo Da nodded, and without keeping them in suspense, said directly:
"Our Hengshan Sect wishes to join the martial arts alliance led by Alliance Leader Wang. We humbly request Alliance Leader Wang's permission!"
After saying this, Mo Da looked at Wang Yang with pleading in his eyes.
Earlier, he had personally tested Wang Yang.
Wang Yang's strength is unfathomable.
His skill in swordsmanship, in particular, was so great that Mo Da was in awe of him.
In addition, Wang Yang had previously resolved Liu Zhengfeng's predicament at the "washing hands of the family" ceremony.
The distinction between good and evil cannot be simply encompassed by the phrase "good and evil cannot coexist".
In Mo Da's view, it would be the best thing if the Hengshan Sect could join Wang Yang's martial arts alliance.
At this moment, after hearing what Mo Da said, Wang Yang smiled calmly and said:
"Since Mr. Mo is willing, how could I refuse?"
"From this day forward, the Hengshan Sect is also a member of the Martial Arts Alliance."
Upon seeing Wang Yang agree, Mo Da was overjoyed and immediately bowed deeply to Wang Yang, saying:
"Mo Da pays his respects to Alliance Leader Wang!"
Seeing this, Wang Yang quickly stepped forward to help Mo Da to his feet, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Mo, you're too kind!"
"Now that we've joined the Martial Arts Alliance, we're family from now on."
Mo Da nodded and replied:
"Alliance Leader Wang, if the Martial Arts Alliance ever needs the Hengshan Sect in the future, please feel free to send them!"
Wang Yang smiled calmly and said softly, "If needed, I will send someone to inform Mr. Mo."
At this moment, the Taoist priest Tianmen got up and stepped forward.
"Leader Wang, our Mount Tai Sect is also willing to join the martial arts alliance."
"We hope that Alliance Leader Wang can grant our request."
Tianmen Daoist looked straight at Wang Yang, his eyes full of sincerity.
Earlier at the "Golden Basin Washing Hands" ceremony, he stood up for that big man and his group, and even got into a fight with Wang Yang.
However, Wang Yang's strength was too great, and Tianmen Daoist was no match for him at all.
Although he was defeated by Wang Yang, Tianmen Daoist admired Wang Yang greatly.
Just now, I saw Mo Da take the initiative to mention that he wanted to add the Hengshan Sect to the martial arts alliance.
Tianmen Daoist also had this idea.
"Very well, from this day forward, the Mount Tai Sect will also be a member of our Martial Arts Alliance!"
Wang Yang readily agreed, knowing what kind of person Tianmen Daoist was; apart from being somewhat inflexible, he was a righteous and awe-inspiring man.
Not far away, Abbess Dingyi saw this and frowned slightly.
Of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, Zuo Lengchan and the Thirteen Protectors of Songshan are dead, and the Songshan Sect exists in name only.
Currently, the Hengshan School and the Taishan School have joined the martial arts alliance.
She was also wondering if the Hengshan Sect should do the same.
However, since she was not the head of the Hengshan Sect, Abbess Dingyi temporarily abandoned this idea.
I'm thinking that once I get back to Hengshan, I'll ask my senior sister, Abbess Dingxian, for her opinion.
If Abbess Dingxian agrees, then we can send a message to Yilin by carrier pigeon, since Yilin is right next to Wang Yang.
Just as Abbess Dingyi was pondering, Yue Buqun suddenly spoke up:
"Master Dingyi, won't your Hengshan Sect join the martial arts alliance?"
Upon hearing this, Abbess Dingyi regained her composure and smiled calmly:
"Sect Leader Yue, this matter is of great importance, and I, an old nun, cannot make the decision on my own. I must wait until I return to the mountain to discuss it with my senior sister, the Sect Leader!"
At this point, Abbess Dingyi paused slightly, then changed the subject:
"I can't make decisions for the Hengshan Sect, but Sect Leader Yue is the leader of the Huashan Sect. Surely he can make decisions too?"
Upon hearing Master Dingyi's question, Yue Buqun was taken aback and didn't know how to answer.
After all, deep down he harbored the ambition to dominate the martial arts world, and naturally he did not want to be subordinate to anyone.
After a slight pause, Yue Buqun smiled and replied:
"Our Huashan Sect should just focus on doing our own thing!"
"If there is any need in the future, I will personally visit Alliance Leader Wang again."
Master Dingyi didn't pay any attention to what Yue Buqun said.
Whether or not one joins the martial arts alliance is entirely up to their own will; if it is coerced or bribed, then it loses its purpose.
Afterwards, Wang Yang and the others continued to eat and drink for a while before returning to their rooms to rest.
...
The following day, Wang Yang took Zhao Min and the others to Hengshan.
Under the guidance of the great leader, we had a wonderful visit and tour.
In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.
On this day, Wang Yang and the others bid farewell to Mo Da, Liu Zhengfeng and others, and continued their journey north.
"Young master, if we continue north for a few more days, we'll reach Wudang!"
Zhao Min leaned closer to Wang Yang and said this.
Wang Yang smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "In that case, let's go to Wudang."
Upon hearing Wang Yang say he was going to Wudang, everyone became excited.
Zhou Botong, in particular, skipped and hopped over to Wang Yang and said:
"Brother Wang, now that we've arrived at Wudang, how about I have a fight with Master Zhang first?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yang sighed helplessly and replied:
"You old rascal, do you think I went to Wudang just to fight?"
Zhou Botong chuckled awkwardly, scratching his head as he said:
"It is said that Master Zhang is very powerful! Although his strength has not reached the realm of a terrestrial immortal, it is not far off."
"Such a celestial being, Brother Wang, don't you feel itchy to test your skills? Don't you want to spar with him?"
Before Wang Yang could reply, Zhao Min glared disdainfully at Zhou Botong and said:
"You old rascal, it's clearly you who wants to fight Master Zhang, so why are you trying to instigate the young master?"
Hearing what Zhao Min said, Zhou Botong smiled slightly and asked in return, "What? Are you worried that Brother Wang can't beat Master Zhang?"
