Zhang Wuji found it hard to believe that Xie Xun would be captured alive by the Shaolin Sect.
"Master Kongwen and Master Kongzhi of Shaolin, along with many eminent monks from the Bodhidharma Hall and the Arhat Hall, were previously imprisoned in Wan'an Temple. They have just returned to Shaolin Temple on Mount Song. How can they go overseas to capture their adoptive father?"
Li Huan reminded him, "Don't forget, there's also Master Yuanzhen!"
"Cheng Kun!" Zhang Wuji exclaimed in surprise.
Li Huan's expression was serious: "Cheng Kun hasn't shown up. He must have found out Xie Xun's whereabouts and went overseas to capture him."
Zhang Wuji hurriedly said, "There's no time to lose, I must go and save my godfather."
Li Huan did not try to dissuade Zhang Wuji.
According to the plot of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", Xie Xun, the Golden Lion King, was destined to be captured by Cheng Kun and imprisoned in the dungeon on the mountain behind Shaolin Temple.
Cheng Kun and his disciple Chen Youliang joined forces to meticulously plan the "Lion-Slaying Assembly," attempting to incite various martial arts factions to kill each other!
Li Huan not only didn't need to dissuade Zhang Wuji, but also had to give him some serious advice.
"Wuji! Cheng Kun is cunning and treacherous. You are kind-hearted, so it's difficult for you to defeat him!"
"The Golden-Haired Lion King Xie Xun will definitely be captured alive by Cheng Kun and imprisoned in the Shaolin Temple dungeon, guarded by the 'Three Shaolin Elders'!"
"Although you are proficient in the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, the Vajra Subduing Demon Circle of the Three Shaolin Elders is extremely powerful. At most, you can only fight them to a draw!"
"Therefore, to completely eliminate Cheng Kun, we must use strategy, not just force!"
Zhang Wuji knew Li Huan was incredibly resourceful and believed him without a doubt, so he quickly clasped his hands in greeting.
"Please enlighten me, Master! I will follow your instructions!"
Li Huan instructed, "Keep a close eye on things. Once the Shaolin Sect issues out invitations to heroes and holds the 'Lion-Slaying Assembly,' you should also issue out invitations in the name of the Ming Cult, claiming that you will be holding a 'Food Festival' at the Shaolin Temple!"
"A food festival..." Zhang Wuji was stunned.
Li Huan said, "That's right, a food festival! Cheng Kun infiltrated Shaolin Temple and held the 'Lion-Slaying Assembly' to incite the various sects and factions of the Central Plains martial arts world to kill each other!"
"The Ming Cult can seize this opportunity to hold a 'Food Festival,' which will attract the attention of various sects, thereby thwarting Cheng Kun's conspiracy and forcing him to reveal himself so that he can be eliminated!"
A gleam flashed in Zhang Wuji's eyes, and he sincerely praised, "Brilliant plan! Brilliant plan! The leader is wise!"
Li Huan said, "All the martial arts sects and Jianghu figures want to obtain the Dragon-Slaying Saber. Their greed is precisely what Cheng Kun takes advantage of!"
"We'll also take advantage of this and announce that whoever buys the most boxed lunches at the Food Festival will receive strong support from the Ming Cult leader to break through the 'Shaolin Three Elders's' Vajra Subduing Demon Circle!"
Zhang Wuji was startled.
"Master, are you really going to break through the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation? What if we're attacked by the enemy..."
Li Huan waved his hand to interrupt Zhang Wuji: "I'm doing this simply to earn more money, punish those scoundrels in the martial arts world, and lure Cheng Kun out. You don't need to worry about it, just follow orders!"
Zhang Wuji was delighted: "Yes! Wuji obeys!"
Li Huan gave some important instructions, handed the Heaven Sword to Zhang Wuji, and then bid farewell to Zhang Sanfeng.
Inside the courtyard, Zhao Min, Xiao Zhao, and Yang Buhui were sitting next to an electric tricycle, chatting and laughing.
Li Huan knew that after he left, according to the plot of "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber", many major events would happen during this period.
Dai Qisi, the Purple-Robed Dragon King disguised as "Golden Flower Granny," will also make an appearance. Xiao Zhao volunteers to become the Holy Maiden of the Persian Ming Cult and follows Dai Qisi back to Persia.
Therefore, Li Huan cannot leave Xiao Zhao behind; he must take her with him as they travel away from Wudang Mountain.
As for Zhao Min, she absolutely cannot be allowed to stay by Zhang Wuji's side.
Therefore, Li Huan waved and let Zhao Min, Xiao Zhao, and Yang Buhui get on the electric tricycle.
Yang Buhui hurriedly asked, "Master, where are we going?"
Li Huan said deceptively, "I plan to hold a 'Food Festival' at Shaolin Temple on Mount Song and invite people from all walks of life in the martial arts world to participate. So, let's go overseas to purchase ingredients to prepare for the 'Food Festival'."
Zhao Min, Xiao Zhao, and Yang Buhui believed it to be true.
Li Huan extended his index finger, turned on the ignition, and slowly accelerated.
Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared in front of them.
"What...what is that?" Zhao Min exclaimed.
Li Huan called out, "Xiao Zhao! Bu Hui! Hold on tight to the handrail!"
Whoosh! Li Huan drove his electric tricycle into the light and vanished instantly...
...
Whoosh!
Quick transmigration complete!
An electric tricycle was parked beside a lush pine forest.
Li Huan got out of the car and looked around.
Located halfway up the mountain, the sky was clear and cloudless.
Zhao Min, Xiao Zhao, and Yang Buhui also jumped out of the car and looked around curiously.
"What exactly happened?"
"The light was so bright that I felt dizzy!"
"Where is this place? Wudang Mountain...?"
Li Huan looked westward and saw a temple.
Clearly, they've traveled to the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song!
Zhao Min also noticed the temple and exclaimed in surprise, "There's a temple here, it can't be Wudang Mountain!"
Li Huan laughed and said, "This is Mount Song! We've arrived at Shaolin Temple!"
Zhao Min, Xiao Zhao, and Yang Buhui all stared wide-eyed.
Unable to explain the truth, Li Huan could only lie and say, "The dazzling light you just saw was my unique spell—Light Escape Technique!"
“I used the ‘Light Escape Technique’ to travel from Wudang Mountain to Songshan Mountain, saving myself the trouble of traveling all the way.”
Zhao Min, Xiao Zhao, and Yang Buhui remained dumbfounded.
Li Huan said, "My 'Light Escape Technique' can not only teleport me, but also change the date! Today should be the Dragon Boat Festival!"
"Dragon Boat Festival?" Zhao Min looked incredulous. "The date we were on Wudang Mountain was August. If today is the Dragon Boat Festival, then... then we've entered the second year?"
Li Huan nodded: "That's right, it jumps to May of the following year."
Yang Buhui asked in astonishment, "Master, are you kidding us?"
Xiao Zhao reached out and pinched her arm hard, feeling a sharp pain.
"I...I wasn't dreaming..."
Li Huan said in a serious tone, "The Light Escape Technique consumes a great deal of internal energy, so I don't use it lightly! Today is the Dragon Boat Festival in May, which is an important day for the Shaolin Sect to hold the 'Lion Slaying Assembly'!"
"In order to hold the 'Food Festival' and to deal with the treacherous Cheng Kun, I made a feint, pretending to go overseas to purchase ingredients, and took the opportunity to use the 'Light Escape Technique' to directly arrive at the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song in May of the following year!"
Zhao Min, Xiao Zhao, and Yang Buhui were completely bewildered, their faces blank, still unable to process what they were hearing.
Li Huan continued, "When the tricycle rushed into the light and you felt dizzy, you fell asleep. When you woke up, it was already the Dragon Boat Festival of the following year!"
"Now that I've explained it this way, you should understand, right? You won't be confused anymore, will you?"
Zhao Min suddenly smiled: "I understand! Your light escape technique is somewhat like a spell to put people to sleep!"
Xiao Zhao and Yang Buhui also suddenly realized their mistake and nodded repeatedly.
Suddenly, the sound of a bell came from the east side of the pine forest...
