While on Mount Hua, my mind is at peace!

Chapter 73 Old Deng, come and see for yourself.

Just by hearing the voice, Yue Feng knew that it was Xiong Tianba, the leader of the Weihe Gang. At the same time, a strong wind whistled behind him as Xiong Tianba reached out and grabbed Yue Feng's shoulder.

Yue Feng didn't turn around, letting Xiong Tianba grab his shoulder. The Giant Spirit Golden Body naturally generated a counterforce. Xiong Tianba felt a numbness on half of his body, and Yue Feng had already pushed open the door and dragged him into the room.

"Old Deng, come and see for yourself."

Yue Feng released Xiong Tianba, lit the candle, and pointed to the bed as he spoke.

Xiong Tianba didn't understand the meaning of "Old Deng" and felt it wasn't a nice thing to say; he wanted to ask Yue Feng, but half of his body was still numb. He glanced at the bed and saw that his daughter was perfectly fine, realizing he had misunderstood Yue Feng. He immediately changed his expression and said with a forced smile:

"Young Master Feng, this... I'm so sorry! I was just concerned about Zhao'er, that's why..."

"It's fine if you care about your daughter, and it's fine if you want to take me down," Yue Feng said matter-of-factly. "Your problem is, why are you shouting like that?"

"Are you worried that someone in this household doesn't know I left your daughter's room in the middle of the night? Or are you worried that too many people want to propose marriage to you, and they'll wear down your doorstep?"

After being scolded by Yue Feng, Xiong Tianba was speechless. He thought to himself, "You're the one who came out of my daughter's room in the middle of the night, how come it's all my fault now?" But the words that came out of his mouth were: "Young Master Feng is right! I, Old Xiong, was born with this loud voice, it's really... hehe."

Yue Feng rolled his eyes at Xiong Tianba, extinguished the candle, and went out with him. After Yue Feng closed the door, he suddenly heard Xiong Tianba say, "Young Master Feng, I have a few bottles of good wine in my study. How about we go for a drink?"

Yue Feng understood that Xiong Tianba must have something to discuss with him, so he didn't refuse and followed Xiong Tianba to his study. After they sat down, Yue Feng got straight to the point: "It's late, so there's no need for wine. Chief Xiong, is there something you need to see me about?"

Xiong Tianba slowly put down his wine pot and solemnly said, "Yes. Young Master Feng, your martial arts are superb, and your knowledge must also surpass that of ordinary people. I would like to ask you, what exactly are the people from the Eastern Depot planning to do by gathering in Huayin recently? Or rather, who do they intend to target first?"

Yue Feng stared at Xiong Tianba and answered succinctly, "Huashan Sect."

Xiong Tianba frowned, thought for a moment, and nodded, saying:

"The Huashan Sect, as one of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects, may not usually concern itself with local gang affairs, but it is in fact the leader of all the gangs in Huayin. If the Eastern Depot takes over the Huashan Sect, the remaining gangs will naturally surrender. Young Master Feng, am I right?"

Yue Feng said softly, "Chief Xiong's thinking is very insightful. I admire him."

Xiong Tianba waved his hand and said, "It's not that I've thought it through, but that I have to think about these things. The Weihe Gang has hundreds of members, and they all rely on my head. It's just a pity that my mind isn't very sharp to begin with, and now that I'm getting older, it's becoming increasingly useless."

Yue Feng thought for a moment and said, "The headquarters of the Weihe Gang is in Huazhou. Compared with Huazhou, Huayin is just a tiny place. If Chief Xiong is willing to give up this place, then whatever the Eastern Depot does in Huayin will have nothing to do with the Weihe Gang."

Xiong Tianba stared at Yue Feng for a few moments, then chuckled, "Young Master Feng, don't try to test me. The Weihe Gang's branch in Huayin was built by me and my old brothers, through countless battles. Others may take it away, but we will never give it up willingly!"

"I summoned you, Young Master Feng, overnight because I wanted to ask for your advice on what strategies we should employ, not whether or not to abandon Huayin. That question has never been on my radar!"

Yue Feng narrowed his eyes and asked Xiong Tianba, "Does Chief Xiong trust me that much? You know I have some connections with the Eastern Depot, aren't you afraid I'll turn around and sell you out to them?"

"I may not be well-educated, but I've heard the saying 'A gentleman does not deceive even in the dark.' You're my daughter's friend, and I've heard about your deeds from her, Lao Qin, and Lao Liang. Plus, I saw it with my own eyes. Who else should I believe if not you? If I can still be mistaken about this, then it's my fate to suffer this calamity, and I can't escape it."

After hearing Xiong Tianba's words, Yue Feng suddenly felt a certain appreciation for this seemingly rough and tough leader of the Weihe Gang. He had actually been pondering how to deal with the Weihe Gang for days, and Xiong Tianba's questions had provided the answers he was looking for.

"Chief Xiong understands the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold,' so I won't elaborate. To be honest, I have some connections on Mount Hua, and I can try to act as a go-between for you. As long as we can join forces with the Mount Hua Sect, this matter will be half accomplished."

Xiong Tianba nodded: "And the other half?"

Yue Feng laughed and said, "Even if I don't say it, Chief Xiong should be able to guess that the other half is the Great Wind Gang. If the Great Wind Gang suddenly comes to our aid while we are fighting desperately against the Eastern Depot, or even gets won over by the Eastern Depot, that would be extremely bad."

Xiong Tianba sighed, "That's true. But the Dafeng Gang members are not only incredibly fierce in fights, but they also have very strange tempers. I really don't know what to do with them."

Yue Feng asked Xiong Tianba, "You should know that the Great Wind Gang and the Wei River Gang are going to have a three-day ceasefire?"

Xiong Tianba nodded, and Yue Feng added, "Three days isn't a long time, but it's not short either. If used well, many things can be changed."

Xiong Tianba quickly asked for advice, and Yue Feng explained the whole story of the dilapidated temple incident and his own thoughts to Xiong Tianba. After a moment's consideration, Xiong Tianba agreed. When he asked Yue Feng what reward he wanted, Yue Feng simply said that Xiong Zhaozhao had already given him the reward, then bid farewell to Xiong Tianba and went back to his room to rest.

The next morning, just as Yue Feng got up, Xiong Zhaozhao came to him, saying she wanted to teach him swordsmanship. Yue Feng had nothing urgent to do, so he gladly accepted.

Xiong Zhaozhao patiently spent an entire day teaching Yue Feng a set of "Jade Flute Sword Techniques," saying that her master had collected it from the martial arts world and always treasured it.

Yue Feng remembered that the Jade Flute Swordplay was the signature move of Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, in "The Return of the Condor Heroes," and was both surprised and delighted. After learning it, he opened the panel and saw that a new entry had appeared:

[Jade Flute Swordplay: Not Yet Mastered]

Yue Feng first spent 30 points to upgrade the Jade Flute Sword Technique to the beginner level, and then selected it together with the Long Sky Demon Sword to begin fusion.

[Beginning the fusion of "Double Fusion: Sky-Soaring Demon Sword" and "Jade Flute Sword Technique"...]

[The fusion is complete. Please name the new martial art.]

An input box popped up on the panel. Yue Feng was stunned for a moment, then realized that the system probably didn't know how to name it and had passed the problem on to him.

He remained silent for a long time, pondering the decision. He realized that he would definitely incorporate more sword techniques in the future, and if he had to worry about naming them every time, wouldn't he eventually grow old with worry? With a heavy heart, he simply named the new sword technique "Nameless Sword Technique".

Congratulations on acquiring the new martial art: Three Fusions - Nameless Sword Technique.
