Chapter 126 is a fart.
The swordsmanship Yue Feng used was a secret technique of the Huashan Sect that he learned from the secret cave on the Cliff of Contemplation in Huashan. It was quite similar to the "Ning Family Sword" created by Ning Zhongze in the original novel, but it was more powerful and robust. When Yue Feng used this sword in a desperate situation, it was like a dragon trapped in shallow water, letting out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth.
Xie Hongde, however, remained fearless and stepped forward to meet the tip of the Qingfeng Sword. The sword tip pierced Xie Hongde's protective inner energy as if it had pierced a wad of cotton, and the inner energy attached to the sword tip was also absorbed by this "cotton".
Just then, Xie Hongde's vision blurred, and he saw a pale blue light, about a foot long, suddenly appear on Yue Feng's sword tip—the legendary indestructible sword light.
According to old legends, sword light is mostly light blue. Even if the swordsman is highly skilled, it is only dark blue. How could it turn into light blue?
Xie Hongde dared not be careless and slightly turned to avoid it. The sword light grazed his chest and melted a long strip of gash in his clothes.
Xie Hongde was secretly shocked, realizing that Yue Feng's internal energy and swordsmanship far exceeded his expectations. If Yue Feng hadn't insisted on using the Huashan sword technique to kill him, but instead had gone all out, it was hard to say how the situation would have turned out.
Yue Feng's swordplay was at its peak, and the sword light seemed to have reached its limit, flashing rapidly right under Xie Hongde's nose. Xie Hongde used a move called "Going with the Flow," pushing his palms up Yue Feng's arms.
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, like a thunderclap on flat ground. The sword light of Qingfeng Sword suddenly exploded, blasting a bloody hole in Xie Hongde's heart.
Xie Hongde's palms were only half a foot away from Yue Feng when he suddenly froze, looking down in disbelief at the bloody hole in his chest. He never imagined that the sword light would explode on its own, and that its power would be something he had never seen or even imagined.
"Is this also... Huashan Sword Technique?" Xie Hongde murmured.
Yue Feng said, "This is a move I created myself. I am the young master of the Huashan Sect. Would you say this is not the Huashan Sect's sword technique?"
Xie Hongde said resentfully, "It's... a... fart..." and fell backward with a thud. Yue Feng, fearing that this old monster would cause any more trouble, swung his long sword and cut off his head.

Yue Feng, sword in one hand and Xie Hongde's head in the other, said to Xie Shengjie and the others, "What else do you have to say?"
Xie Shengjie and the others witnessed Yue Feng and Xie Hongde's fight. Every move they made was beyond their comprehension, so they had no desire to resist and all knelt down, begging for mercy.
Considering that Yue Feng would need the assistance of these people to take over the Xie family's assets after Xie Hongde's death, he temporarily sent them their heads and imprisoned them in the dungeon of Shuiyue Manor.
Yue Feng stayed at Shuiyue Villa for more than ten days to coordinate all the aftermath.
During these ten days or so, Yun Ruoyu's birthday banquet proceeded smoothly. The Heavenly Sword Sect, together with the Water Moon Manor and the Great Wind Gang, destroyed the Xie family, causing a great uproar in the martial arts world of Huazhou and greatly enhancing the prestige of the Heavenly Sword Sect, sweeping away its past decline. Taking advantage of this, Yun Ruoyu reorganized all the large and small gangs under her command, truly venting her anger.
Wu Shuangxue received an appointment from the imperial court, officially becoming the Chief Constable of the Six Doors in Huazhou. At the same time, Wu Shuangxue, in the name of Shuiyue Manor, took over most of the Xie family's assets and influence. The remaining assets of the Xie family were left to Madam Ji by Yue Feng, who also held a nominal position as strategist at Shuiyue Manor. In this way, Tianjian Sect and Shuiyue Manor practically divided up the entire martial arts world of Huazhou.
On this day, Yue Feng and Chen Ji rode side by side on the official road. Chen Ji laughed and said, "Master, why don't you bring Miss Su with you? It's obvious she really wants to follow you."
Yue Feng glanced at him indifferently: "Miss Wu is busy with the affairs of the Six Doors and Shuiyue Manor, and she is overwhelmed. Leaving Su Yu in her care will be of some help to her. Besides, I also plan to hand over Anjifang under the manor's name to Su Yu to manage."
Chen Ji said with a grin, "Master, if I may be so bold as to say something, I think you're worried that bringing another woman back to Mount Hua wouldn't be appropriate in front of Headmaster Yue and his wife, haha!"
"Tsk, if you see through something, don't say it. You can still be friends, understand?" Yue Feng said to Chen Ji with a hint of helplessness.
Chen Ji smiled and didn't take it to heart. He felt that no matter what, his boss was still the same person he always was, making people both respectful and wanting to get close to him.
By this time, the two were not far from Huayin City, and its familiar outline was already in sight. Entering the city, they found it far more prosperous than when they had left—the pedestrians on the streets not only seemed more numerous but also much more energetic. The entire city radiated fresh vitality.
After inquiring, the two learned that after the news of the Xie family's destruction reached Huayin, Xiong Tianba of the Weihe Gang immediately kept his promise and withdrew from Huayin.
Within a single day and night, the Great Wind Gang conquered all the notorious martial arts forces within Huayin, establishing its dominance in the city. After gaining power, the Great Wind Gang changed its previous oppressive policies towards merchants and commoners, quickly bringing about a completely new atmosphere in Huayin.
Upon learning this, Yue Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that Deng Jun was truly a genius at building gangs. Given more time, he might just swallow up the entire martial arts world of Shaanxi.
The two randomly chose a branch of the Great Wind Gang, rested inside for a while, and then Deng Jun rushed over in a flurry, bowing respectfully upon seeing Yue Feng. Yue Feng quickly helped him up, half-jokingly saying, "Protector Deng, long time no see! I heard you've gotten quite fat!"
Deng Jun was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "No matter how fat I am, how can I compare to the gang leader? How was the Xie family's food?"
Yue Feng laughed and said, "You'd have to ask Chen Ji. He was the first to try it, and I only ate what he left over."
Chen Ji said with a bitter face, "I was the first to eat, that's true, but I couldn't even chew it! It was the host who came up and started crunching away, tearing it to pieces."
The three laughed and chatted for a while. Yue Feng asked, "Any news from the Eastern Depot?"
Deng Jun smiled and said, "I knew that the gang leader came here first, it must be for this matter. Zhou Huapeng sent a letter yesterday, and I originally wanted to send someone to deliver it to you in Huazhou by fast horse; but I was afraid that you would miss it on the way, so I waited here."
Deng Jun then took out a letter and handed it to Yue Feng. Yue Feng opened the letter and read the concise statement:
"Something has happened in the southwest; please go there immediately."
Yue Feng couldn't help but sigh. He had originally planned to stay on Mount Hua for a few more days after returning this time. Now it seemed that this wish would be difficult to fulfill.
Seeing the slight worry lingering on his brow, Deng Jun and Chen Ji didn't dare disturb him. After a long while, Yue Feng stood up and sighed, "In any case, I'd better go home and see him first. Chen Ji, you stay here and help Brother Deng."
Before Chen Ji could say anything more, Yue Feng had vanished in a few steps. Chen Ji and Deng Jun exchanged glances, feeling that Yue Feng's back looked inexplicably lonely.
