Chapter 442: Good and Evil
After the group stepped onto the Blackwood Cliff, Mo Da looked around and couldn't help but say, "I never thought that I would have the chance to climb the Blackwood Cliff one day."

Yue Buqun could not help but nodded. Mount Hua was known as "the most dangerous place in the world", but he was directly thrown to the Cliff of Repentance by the Ten Great Elders of the Demon Cult, which was a complete loss of face.

Can stepping onto the Blackwood Cliff today be considered an alternative way of avenging my past humiliation?

Lan Fenghuang came forward, clasped her hands together, and said calmly, "Welcome to our sect, Master Zuo, Mr. Yue, and Mr. Mo Da. Please come in. The sect master has prepared a banquet."

"Master Lan, you are too polite. Please come in." Zuo Lengchan nodded, and everyone followed Lan Fenghuang, crossed the bluestone road, and entered the Wencheng Hall.

Ren Yingying sat in the main seat, and standing next to her was the Right Envoy of Light of the Divine Religion, Green Bamboo Old Man.

After exchanging greetings, the two sides sat down. Green Bamboo Old Man clapped his hands, and rows of maids came up with all kinds of delicious food, fruits and drinks.

"Since the founding of the Divine Religion, this is the first time that a senior from the martial arts community has visited Blackwood Cliff. This can be called a groundbreaking move in the martial arts community." Ren Yingying said, then raised her wine glass and saluted Zuo Lengchan, Yue Buqun, and Mo Da from a distance, smiling and continuing, "Thank you three seniors for your righteous act. I'll drink first to show my respect."

"Master Ren, you are joking," Zuo Lengchan picked up the wine glass and said calmly, "Although I have not been in the martial arts world recently, I have heard about Master Ren's good deeds. Under Master Ren's control, your disciples have reduced the killing and made contributions to the peace of the martial arts world."

Ren Yingying looked at Zuo Lengchan, her smile stiff. After not seeing him for a while, how come this old guy has improved so much?

Green Bamboo Elder at the side spoke up to help: "Leader Zuo is now an official appointed by the imperial court, but I wonder what is your purpose in coming to our Divine Religion?"

"Of course it is a very important matter," Zuo Lengchan looked at Ren Yingying with a serious expression, and asked, "Lu You of the Southern Song Dynasty once said, 'Even though I am in a low position, I dare not forget my worries about the country.' I wonder if everyone in your sect has this kind of loyalty to the country?"

Ren Yingying was stunned when she heard this. Zuo Lengchan's tone was too high and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Linghu Chong smiled and said, "Master Zuo, you are asking even though you already know the answer. Jianghu people are also Ming people. I am willing to contribute to the country and the people."

Ren Yingying also came back to her senses and said with a smile: "In my sect, there are both Han people and brothers from other ethnic groups from all over the world. We live together in the Ming Dynasty, so naturally we all have the desire to serve our country."

Zuo Lengchan heard this and smiled, saying, "It's good that you have this realization! After all, although you and I have different philosophies, we are both Ming people after all."

"There is a group of Jurchens in the northeast. They live in a remote area and refuse to accept your majesty's teachings. Over the years, they have often attacked our people and killed countless people."

"Back then, the Jurchens were oppressed by the Koreans, and it was Emperor Taizu who provided them with shelter so that they could recuperate. However, many years later, they took advantage of the war between the imperial court and Mongolia to plunder the Liaodong region and even forgot their own writing. This is called forgetting one's roots and bullying the weak and fearing the strong!"

"The officials of the court believed that those who did not obey the king's rule should be killed. However, these Jurchens were born barbaric and had no fixed place to live. When the imperial army arrived, they broke up into small groups and hid in the mountains and forests. This was time-consuming and laborious, but the effect was not good, which made the court very embarrassed."

"Lord Ou proposed that the court offer a reward and have people in the martial arts world who are good at single combat and have superb martial arts go out of the pass and into the forest to defeat the enemy!"

"One adult Jurchen male head is worth five taels of silver. In addition, the imperial court can appraise and recover all the materials and property obtained by the martial artists outside the Great Wall."

"In addition, those who kill 100 Jurchens will be awarded the bronze medal of the Outer Pass Hero. Those who kill 500 will be awarded the silver medal of the Weiyuan Hero. If someone kills 1,000 people, the court will award him a gold medal, and his name and nickname will be recorded in history books for future generations to admire."

After listening to Zuo Lengchan's words, Ren Yingying and Linghu Chong were both shocked, but they were shocked in different ways.

Ren Yingying realized at this moment that the horror of the imperial court was far beyond her imagination. After this set of combined punches, she was sure that the lawless guys in the Divine Religion would rush out of the pass in a huge mass.

After killing someone, no one from the right side came after him, and even the government encouraged him.
"Senior Brother Ou is really imaginative in his approach!" Linghu Chong shook his head with a wry smile. After hearing what the Jurchens had done, he was willing to go outside the Great Wall to eliminate the harm without any reward. However, Senior Brother Ou's action made him feel that he was not chivalrous enough.

I don't know if this approach will lead to chaos in the underworld.
Eh?
Linghu Chong suddenly realized that the chaos this time seemed to be happening outside the Great Wall!

Yue Buqun glanced at Linghu Chong and slowly said, "For people like us in the martial arts world, there are only four things that matter: loyalty, trust, courtesy, and righteousness! The court's move is a reflection of its emphasis on people like us in the martial arts world. A man will die for his friend. Huashan Sect will fully cooperate and will organize its disciples to go to Liaodong in March next year."

"When one is in a high position in the government, one worries about the people; when one is far away in the world, one worries about the emperor. Although Hengshan is thousands of miles away, it is my duty to relieve Your Majesty's worries." Mo Da stroked his beard and expressed his attitude seriously.

When Linghu Chong heard this, he couldn't help but have some thoughts. Could it be that his Master and Mr. Mo Da were trying to give him a way out?
Thinking of this, he was delighted and immediately said, "Master, Mr. Mo Da, I am willing to go!"

"I'm very happy that Linghu Zuo Shi has such intention." For the first time, Zuo Lengchan looked at Linghu Chong with a little more recognition in his eyes. This man was a little stupid, but he had not completely forgotten chivalry.

Ren Yingying sighed secretly, and then said: "I already understand the purpose of your visit, and I will announce this matter in the sect. However, the relationship between us disciples of the Divine Sect and Shaolin, Wudang, and the Five Mountains Sword Sect is not very friendly. If we encounter them in Liaodong, how should we deal with it?"

Zuo Lengchan smiled and said with a bit of pride: "I can make a promise to Master Ren on this point. The court will repair the Shenyang Zhongwei, Jinzhouwei, and Fuyuwei. In these cities, martial artists are prohibited from fighting. As for the Central Plains, the Jinyiwei will also strengthen patrols."

Shi Dengda behind him saw the disdain on Green Bamboo Old Man's face, so he looked up and said, "Humph, my master will go to Liaodong one day to serve as the commander-in-chief! In Liaodong, besides the governor, my master is the only one who can rule!"

"Hey, Dengda, don't talk nonsense." Zuo Lengchan scolded him in a pretentious manner, and Shi Dengda immediately bent down and stopped talking.

When Ren Yingying saw this, she couldn't help but feel even more surprised. Zuo Lengchan actually held the high position of the commander-in-chief. This was an unprecedented event in the martial arts world.

This action was led by the Huashan and Hengshan sects. In addition, Zuo Lengchan's prominent position in the local officialdom undoubtedly had an irresistible attraction for the people in the righteous martial arts world.

Moreover, Zuo Lengchan personally came to Heimu Cliff to explain the situation, which did give the Sun Moon Divine Sect some face. If he refused again, he would seem petty.

Thinking of this, Ren Yingying said, "Please rest assured, Commander Zuodu, I will do my best to make this happen."

Zuo Lengchan got what he wanted, and the smile on his face became more sincere. He sighed and said, "Very good, Master Ren is indeed a disciple who is better than his teacher. When I was Master Ren's age, I didn't have this awareness!"

Mo Da also spoke at the right time: "This is called the Yangtze River's waves behind pushing forward the waves in front. The next generation of geniuses in the martial arts world must be Master Ren and Young Hero Linghu!"

Linghu Chong said modestly, "Mr. Mo Da, you are too kind. Compared with Senior Brother Ou from Hengshan, the difference between us two is like heaven and earth. We cannot even compare with him!"

Mr. Mo Da waved his hand gently and said directly: "How can my nephew Ou be considered a martial artist? You don't need to regard him as a peer in the martial arts world."

Everyone chatted for a while, and despite Linghu Chong's best efforts to keep them, Zuo Lengchan and others chose to go down the mountain and leave.

It was not until the basket fell to the bottom and stopped that Linghu Chong came back to his senses. He smiled and said, "Yingying, I didn't expect this kind of turn of events. Thank you for understanding me."

Ren Yingying smiled and shook her head, and an idea immediately came to her mind.
