Li Huan was surprised. What exactly was Xiao Yuanshan up to?
Is he having poor eyesight or is he confused?
Didn't you see how many masters were defeated by me?
Li Huan was puzzled: "You want to compete with me?"
Xiao Yuanshan laughed and said, "What Chief Li just said was that as long as one can withstand three of your moves, one can obtain the position of 'Martial Arts Alliance Leader'?"
Li Huan nodded: "That's right! But..."
However, this was a scheme to lure Murong Bo out.
Xiao Yuanshan hurriedly said, "If Xiao Feng and I join forces and withstand three of your moves, you will relinquish your position as the leader of the martial arts alliance!"
Li Huan said, "Xiao Feng and I became sworn brothers. If he wanted to be the 'leader of the martial arts world,' I would have agreed immediately. Why bother with a martial arts contest?"
Xiao Yuanshan was taken aback, then nodded.
Xiao Feng quickly said, "Second brother, I am already the Southern King of Liao, how can I also be the leader of the martial arts alliance in the Central Plains? Besides, I have no interest in the position of 'leader of the martial arts alliance'!"
Li Huan knew that Xiao Feng was by no means being modest.
He and A'Zhu lived a very happy life in the Liao Kingdom and had no desire to set foot in the Central Plains martial arts world again.
Xiao Yuanshan said, "My son! If you are unwilling to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, I am willing to be it!"
"What?" Xiao Feng thought he had misheard.
Xiao Yuanshan said, "In the martial arts world of the Central Plains, good and evil are indistinguishable, and right and wrong are unclear! After I become the 'Martial Arts Alliance Leader,' I will definitely eradicate the treacherous and vicious!"
As he spoke, Xiao Yuanshan looked at the monks of Shaolin Temple.
Li Huan understood.
Thirty years ago, the incident at Yanmen Pass and Luanshi Valley dealt a heavy blow to Xiao Yuanshan. He was determined to take revenge and wished he could kill all the martial arts practitioners in the Central Plains.
Driven by hatred, Xiao Yuanshan acted ruthlessly, even killing Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, who raised Xiao Feng, as well as Master Xuanku of Shaolin, who taught Xiao Feng martial arts.
They are completely innocent people.
Furthermore, Xiao Yuanshan burned down the Shan family manor, killing not only Shan Zheng, who had participated in the "Battle of Yanmen Pass and Luanshi Valley," but also his five sons.
Xiao Yuanshan's mind has become twisted; he is now unable to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil!
Li Huan said, "To be honest, I just asked Murong Fu to find someone to join forces with and withstand three of my moves so that they could become the leader of the martial arts alliance. The purpose was to lure out Murong Bo!"
"Now that Murong Bo has shown himself, I will never relinquish the position of leader of the martial arts alliance to anyone!"
Xiao Yuanshan looked disappointed after hearing this.
"Amitabha!"
Abbot Xuanci chanted a Buddhist prayer.
"Benefactor Xiao, your aim in attempting to obtain the position of 'Martial Arts Alliance Leader' is nothing more than to trample on the Central Plains martial arts world and slaughter heroes from all walks of life!"
"This old monk hopes that Benefactor Xiao can lay down his butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot..."
"Shut up!" Xiao Yuanshan glared at Abbot Xuanci. "Back then, you led your men, indiscriminately killing innocent people without asking any questions. What right do you have to tell me to lay down my sword?"
Abbot Xuanci looked ashamed and remained silent in rebuttal.
Believing Murong Bo's lies has already led to a grave mistake, and no amount of explanation can change that.
Li Huan deliberately reminded him: "Abbot Xuanci, the Buddha said it well: If I don't go to hell, who will?"
Abbot Xuanci's brow twitched slightly, clearly understanding Li Huan's meaning.
"Alas..." Abbot Xuanci sighed and looked at Xiao Feng, "This old monk is gravely guilty. I beg you, Great King Xiao, to take my life and avenge your mother!"
Xiao Feng's eyes blazed with fury as he stepped forward, ready to strike.
"Wait!" Xu Zhu shouted.
Xiao Feng stopped: "Fourth Brother, what is it?"
Xu Zhu said, "Murong Bo is the real sinner for spreading false information. The abbot was misled by slander and did not intend to kill my elder brother's mother!"
Xiao Feng was stunned.
Li Huan was also surprised, not expecting Xu Zhu to step forward and plead for Abbot Xuanci.
Li Huan immediately understood.
Xu Zhu is the son of Abbot Xuan Ci, and he has an innate instinct to protect his father.
Although Xu Zhu was unaware of his own origins, Abbot Xuan Ci was also unaware that he was Xu Zhu's biological father.
Seeing Xu Zhu step in to stop him, Xiao Feng hesitated.
Xiao Yuanshan said sternly, "My child! Xuan Ci knew you were a Khitan, yet he handed you over to Han people to raise. He also conspired with Wang Jiantong to make you the leader of the Beggars' Sect, allowing you to lead the Beggars' Sect disciples to kill countless Khitan warriors!"
“Xuan Ci’s actions are utterly heinous and he shows no remorse whatsoever. If he had even the slightest regret, he would have handed you over to the Khitans and let you grow up in the Liao Kingdom!”
"Now, your hands are stained with the blood of the Khitans, and because your true identity has been exposed, you are despised and hated by the Han people. You have finally become an unfaithful, unfilial, and unjust person!"
Xiao Yuanshan's tone was indignant, and he became more and more agitated as he spoke, wishing he could tear Xuan Ci to pieces!
Xiao Feng was also enraged, recalling his experiences in the Beggars' Sect...
Li Huan was speechless.
Xiao Yuanshan's words actually make some sense.
When Xiao Yuanshan jumped off the cliff, he suddenly threw Xiao Feng back to the ground. Abbot Xuanci should have given Xiao Feng to the Khitans to raise, instead of taking him back to Shaolin Temple and giving him to Qiao Sanhuai, a farmer nearby.
After Xiao Feng grows up, he can be taught martial arts by Master Xuanku and Wang Jiantong, but he should not be allowed to eliminate the Khitan soldiers as a Han Chinese!
On the surface, they claimed that they could only pass on the Beggars' Sect leadership to Xiao Feng after he passed on many tests, but little did they know that this behavior was extremely perverse and pointless.
What kind of utter nonsense logic is it to appoint a Khitan as the leader of the Beggars' Sect and have him do everything in his power to kill tens of thousands of Khitans to prove his loyalty to the Han people?
Abbot Xuanci knew he had made a grave mistake by listening to the lies of a villain and ambushing and massacring innocent Khitan people. However, Abbot Xuanci did not repent and continued to make mistakes, instructing and instigating Xiao Feng to do many things that were "neither good nor bad"!
Abbot Xuanci has problems with both his character and his intelligence!
Moreover, this guy couldn't resist the temptation of women and actually had an affair with Ye Erniang, secretly giving birth to Xuzhu.
Li Huan became increasingly angry the more he thought about it.
He couldn't help but strike, aiming a palm strike at Xu Zhu!
Bang!
The powerful internal force shattered Xu Zhu's monk's robe, revealing his back and buttocks!
Xu Zhu was greatly surprised.
Xiao Feng and Duan Yu also shouted in astonishment.
"Second brother! Why did you attack fourth brother?!"
"Xu Zhu!" Li Huan commanded sternly, "Don't move!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhu froze involuntarily, standing rooted to the spot, too afraid to move.
Li Huan pointed at Xu Zhu's back and buttocks: "Everyone, look, what is this thing?"
All eyes turned to Xu Zhu.
Wang Yuyan, A'zhu, and the other women blushed instantly.
Nine incense scars were clearly visible on Xu Zhu's back and between his waist.
He also had nine incense scars on both sides of his buttocks.
Duan Yu laughed and said, "Fourth Brother is different from other monks. When others are ordained, they have nine incense burn marks on their heads, but Fourth Brother has eighteen incense burn marks on his lower back and buttocks!"
Xiao Feng asked curiously, "Fourth Brother, what is the meaning behind your eighteen incense scars? Could you tell me?"
Xu Zhu hurriedly covered his buttocks with his hands, stammering, "I... I've had these incense scars on my body since I was a child, they weren't applied when I took vows..."
Suddenly, Ye Erniang rushed over, hugged Xuzhu, and cried out loudly!
Li Huan chuckled; the show was about to begin!
