I have kept this crippled body not out of cowardice, but solely for the future of Shaolin Temple!
Upon hearing Fakong's words, everyone present fell silent.
Fakong is the most difficult one among them.
He was the abbot of Shaolin Temple. His bowing to Yang Cheng meant that the entire Shaolin Temple bowed to Yang Cheng. All the pressure was on his shoulders.
It could even be said that Fakong's name will certainly appear in the history of Shaolin Temple in the future, but not as a good name, but rather as a symbol of a humiliating period in Shaolin Temple's history.
The head of the Arhat Hall suddenly said, "Do you think that one can kill Yang Cheng? After all, he belongs to the Buddhist lineage of Shaolin Temple. If he is willing to support Shaolin Temple in the future, Shaolin Temple may be able to suppress the Taoist sect."
Fakong sighed and shook his head, saying, "I've already said it, his Buddha is not the same as our Buddha."
Anyway, now that my Shaolin Temple has handed over the martial arts techniques, it doesn't matter whether Yang Cheng is alive or dead.
"Relying on ourselves is better than relying on outsiders. From this day forward, Shaolin Temple will be closed until the next generation grows up, at which point the gates will reopen!"
"Yes, Abbot!"
…………
At the foot of the mountain, Yang Cheng was checking his mission status as he made his way.
"Congratulations to the reincarnator for completing the side quest 'Jianghu Chuwu': Suppress the major Jianghu sects and rebuild the martial arts lineage of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Mission Reward: "General Principles of Martial Arts"
Note: This system integrates numerous martial arts systems, encompassing all aspects and demonstrating comprehensive knowledge.
Yang Cheng now seems to have figured out the rewards for these side quests in the Great Zhou World.
The rewards for each side quest should be related to the attributes of the quest itself.
The reward for annihilating the thirty-six bandits is their supernatural abilities.
The reward for suppressing major martial arts sects is a set of martial arts techniques.
However, to be precise, this is not a martial arts technique, but rather a martial arts theory, which Yang Cheng could not fully understand.
However, his intuition told him that Zhou Yan should be able to use this.
Only this grandmaster, who has spent decades sitting in the library studying countless techniques, could understand this.
After transmitting the Shaolin Temple's martial arts techniques to the capital, Yang Cheng led his men back home.
Some martial arts practitioners along the way saw Yang Cheng's whereabouts and breathed a sigh of relief when they discovered that he was heading to the capital.
The martial arts world used to be very loosely organized. Even top-tier forces like Shaolin Temple and the Xuanyuan family could only radiate their own small sphere of influence.
However, with Yang Cheng now dominating the martial world, all the major sects are trembling in fear under his power.
Even though they have now handed over their own martial arts techniques, as long as Yang Cheng is still alive, they will live in constant fear.
After several months of wandering, Yang Chenggang returned to the capital and immediately discovered that something seemed amiss.
The guards at the city gates are all Imperial Guards, and the Imperial Guards are now under the jurisdiction of the Zhenwu Hall.
But at this time, all the Imperial Guards were unfamiliar faces, and Yang Cheng, the leader, did not recognize a single one of them.
Furthermore, the city gate was also unusually congested because there were people blocking the way at the city gate.
Previously, only the Imperial Guards were stationed at the city gates of the capital, responsible for checking whether people coming and going from the capital were wanted notorious bandits or the like.
However, the number of guards at the gate had increased several times over, and everyone coming and going had to be stopped at checkpoints. Only people from the capital with a certificate were allowed to enter and leave. Outsiders entering and leaving the capital were stopped and interrogated. Alternatively, they could pay money and obtain a temporary certificate to enter and leave the capital.
Yang Cheng frowned slightly and said, "Let's go take a look."
Song Joong-ki immediately stepped forward, but was stopped by several guards.
"Which department are you from? Do you have an imperial edict from the Ministry of Revenue to enter the capital?"
"Since so many people cannot enter the capital together, we must first send someone to the Ministry of Revenue to obtain the necessary permits before the rest of the group can enter."
The guard at the gate had a nonchalant demeanor, but spoke with an arrogant and tough attitude.
Song Joong-ki was once the young master of a prominent family. Although he was somewhat subservient to Yang Cheng, when had anyone ever dared to speak to him like that?
He slapped Song Joong-ki across the face and yelled, "Are you blind?!"
"General Yang of the Zhenwu Hall is returning to the capital in triumph; what kind of certificates do he need?"
Although Yang Cheng had been away from the capital for several months, his reputation remained. The guards at the gate immediately changed their expressions and quickly made way for him.
Yang Cheng glanced at the long queue of people waiting to enter the capital and frowned, saying, "Release the gate and let everyone in."
The guard hesitated, "But..."
Song Joong-ki slapped him again: "Does the Grand Commander's word have no effect?"
This time, the guards dared not say another word and immediately opened the city gates completely, no longer daring to block them.
At this moment, Zhang Meng and Chen Da, who were inside the city, also received news of Yang Cheng's return and hurriedly went out of the city to welcome him.
Yang Cheng pointed towards the city gate and frowned, asking, "What's going on here?"
Zhang Meng sighed, "It's all that bastard Zhang Xuansu's fault! He's made the capital a complete mess these past few months."
