At the same time, the heads of all the branch halls of Shaolin Temple also had to step down from their positions as abbots and retire to the Jingxin Hall in the back mountains of Shaolin Temple for quiet cultivation.
However, a martial artist who has reached the Grandmaster level can still fight even at the age of one hundred.
This could potentially lead to the emergence of three generations of powerful figures within the Shaolin Temple!
More than four hundred years ago, when the world was in chaos, there was a small country that hated Buddhism, so it launched a campaign to persecute Buddhism.
The complete extinction of some small Buddhist sects in the martial arts world today is a product of that era.
As a result, when he attacked Shaolin Temple, he encountered a scene where three generations of abbots and more than ten senior monks of Shaolin Temple stood up to fight against him.
In that battle, the small country sent people to wipe out Shaolin Temple, and all of them were wiped out. The three generations of abbots, along with more than ten chief monks, attacked the enemy country together.
The oldest abbots and chief monks were over a hundred years old, and they did their utmost to destroy the city gate.
The abbots in the middle perished together with the elite troops of the enemy's imperial city, directly breaking through the imperial city gates.
The current abbot, along with other chief monks, entered the palace directly, slaughtered all the palace guards, and killed the emperor.
That battle shook the martial arts world; the Shaolin Temple, fighting to the death, truly possessed the power to destroy a nation.
Therefore, if the Grand Commander intends to conquer Shaoshi Mountain, he must proceed with utmost caution and be prepared to face more than ten martial arts grandmasters simultaneously.
A mocking smile appeared on Yang Cheng's lips: "Suppress Buddhism? Back then, the world was in chaos, and heroes rose up everywhere. Since they occupied a region and established a small country, they must have wanted to dominate the world. Why would they suddenly go and suppress Buddhism? The reason behind this is not so simple."
Buddhism is domineering, xenophobic, and intolerant of other faiths.
Back then, Buddhism was so powerful that it might have even controlled the country through its sects, so of course people wanted to suppress Buddhism.
Moreover, these monks do not engage in production; they only enjoy incense offerings. This is no big deal for a large country like the Great Zhou, but for a small country, they might really drain it dry.
This is not four hundred years ago, and I, Yang Cheng, am no longer the ruler of that small country.
Prepare the troops, and follow me to attack Shaoshi Mountain!
The monks of Shaolin Temple are not peaceful. Three years ago, they even dared to interfere in the change of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but Yang Cheng suppressed them.
Although Shaolin Temple did not participate in the martial arts conference this time, they may still be plotting something in secret.
Of course, it's also possible that Yang Cheng wronged someone, but it's better to strike first, so Yang Cheng directly set Shaolin Temple as his next target.
Although Fang Wuwo had just joined Yang Cheng's forces, his intelligence capabilities were very useful to Yang Cheng, so Yang Cheng took him along to prepare for the attack on Shaolin Temple.
Just as the group left Jiangnan County, Yang Cheng suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.
Then, more than ten cranes came flying in from the sky. On the huge crane at the front stood an old man dressed in Taoist robes, with an air of otherworldly elegance.
The crane landed on the ground, and the old man in Taoist robes bowed to Yang Cheng, saying, "This humble Taoist, Xuanwei, greets the Grand Commander."
A strange light flashed in Yang Cheng's eyes.
The person before me was none other than Xuanwei Zhenren, the leader of the Xuanzhen Daoist sect, who was known as a terrestrial immortal.
The Xuanzhen Taoist sect has been absent from the world for a long time, and Master Xuanwei is also very low-key. However, every time he appears in the martial arts world, he causes a great uproar.
Some even say that Master Xuanwei is over two hundred years old, and Zhou Heng's grandfather once invited Master Xuanwei to his birthday celebration.
The Immortal Xuanwei arrived directly on a cloud, and with a wave of his hand, he plucked a celestial peach from the heavens and presented it to the emperor. It was from then on that the reputation of the Immortal Xuanwei as a terrestrial immortal spread.
However, Yang Cheng found it strange that Master Xuanwei came to find him at this time.
If Master Xuanwei were here to oppose Yang Cheng, he should have appeared at the martial arts tournament, and he should have brought the elites of the Xuanzhen Daoist sect with him.
Now that Master Xuanwei has come himself, what does it mean?
Yang Cheng said in a deep voice, "Master should know what my purpose is. Zhenwu Hall wants to suppress the martial arts world, and I want to collect the martial arts techniques of all the major sects in the martial arts world. You and I have always been enemies. Master, are you here to stop me?"
Master Xuanwei shook his head and said, "If the Grand Commander wants to suppress the martial world, then let him do it. My Xuanzhen Daoist sect lives in seclusion and has never really been considered a true martial arts world."
As for cultivation methods, the great Dao is simple. Cultivation methods may be important, but for my Xuanzhen Daoist sect, comprehending the true essence of the Dao is the most important thing.
"This humble Taoist is willing to offer my Xuanzhen Taoist sect's 'Huangting Dadao Guan' in a deal with you, Grand Commander. I wonder if you would be willing?"
