Su Xinghe and the three girls waited outside for a long time.
I was anxious and uneasy, wondering what was happening inside.
More than an hour later, the stone gate of the artificial hill opened automatically, and everyone rushed over.
As a result, they saw Lin Bufan pushing a wheelchair out.
In his wheelchair, Wu Yazi's head drooped, lifeless, as if he were already dead.
"Master, he..."
Su Xinghe sensed something was wrong, but unwilling to accept the truth, he asked Lin Bufan in surprise.
Lin Bufan nodded to him, a hint of sadness on his face.
"Senior Wuyazi passed on his life's work to me, and then his life was cut short."
"Master~"
Su Xinghe immediately knelt down, crawled over and hugged Wu Yazi's body, weeping bitterly.
"Master, how can I live without you? You are my only family left, Master~~"
An old man, crying his eyes out like a child.
Lu Wushuang was also affected by the emotions and sobbed a few times.
She understood the pain of losing loved ones, as her entire family was murdered by Li Mochou.
Wanyan Ping's eyes also welled up with tears as she thought of her national and personal grievances, wondering when she would be able to avenge them.
Guo Fu wasn't as sad; she was the happiest person there.
A day later, Lin Bufan helped Su Xinghe finish handling Wu Yazi's funeral arrangements and then left the Deaf-Mute Valley with the three girls.
He wanted to fulfill his promise to Wu Yazi and go to the Xingxiu Sect to seek revenge on Ding Chunqiu.
Su Xinghe sent people to find more than a hundred carrier pigeons, wrote notes on them, and sent out the message.
It is said that my master has already found a successor, and that he has already passed away.
The Zhenlong Chess Game will end three months later. All heroes of the martial world are asked to abandon their journeys and not come to the Valley of the Deaf and Mute.
Carrier pigeons are extremely fast, faster than people and horses can travel.
In just a few days, Murong Fu of Gusu received the news, Duan Yu of the Dali Duan family received the news, the Tibetan national teacher Kumārajīva received the news, Duan Yanqing of the Four Evils received the news, and Abbot Xuanci of Shaolin Temple received the news.
Ding Chunqiu of the Xingxiu Sect also received the news.
Incidentally, Ding Chunqiu was someone else who told him about him; Su Xinghe would never write a letter to this traitor of the Xiaoyao Sect.
However, the timing was about right. In any case, Ding Chunqiu was overjoyed to receive the news of Wuyazi's death.
"That old codger is finally dead! He's finally dead! Let me see who his successor is again, Lin Bufan?"
Ding Chunqiu stroked his beard, his old face full of doubt: "Never heard of him, where did this wild boy come from?"
It turned out that Su Xinghe had written Lin Bufan's name on the note, claiming that Lin Bufan had become the new leader of the Xiaoyao Sect and was wearing the leader's ring.
Moreover, his master Wu Yazi also passed on all the martial arts of the Xiaoyao School, including the Beiming Divine Skill, the Tianshan Six Yang Palms, the Xiaowuxiang Skill, and the Lingbo Weibu.
Su Xinghe's intentions were good; he wanted to discourage all the heroes and warriors, or at least make them show more respect to Lin Bufan in the future.
Little did I expect that my good intentions would backfire, as I underestimated the hearts of the people in the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world) of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Human nature is inherently evil, a fact Su Xinghe was unaware of.
Upon receiving the news, Murong Fu's first reaction was: The Xiaoyao Sect has always recognized the sect leader's ring, not the person. If I intercept this person's sect leader's ring and force him to hand over the Beiming Divine Skill, this opportunity will belong to me, Murong Fu.
Upon receiving the news, Kumārajīva's first reaction was: "I have roamed the Central Plains for decades and have long heard of the power of the Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts. The Xiaowuxiang Gong alone has greatly benefited me. If I could also obtain the Beiming Divine Skill, the Tianshan Six Yang Palms, and the Lingbo Steps, I would be able to conquer the Central Plains in no time."
Upon receiving the news, Duan Yanqing shared the same thought as the two before him and immediately dispatched Ye Erniang and Yun Zhonghe to intercept Hu Lin Bufan.
Because Ye Erniang and Yun Zhonghe were relatively better at light-footed skills, they could travel faster.
Lin Bufan, a greenhorn with no reputation, would be a death sentence if he faced Ye Erniang and Yun Zhonghe. Duan Yanqing wouldn't even need to lift a finger.
Upon receiving this news, Abbot Xuanci immediately transformed into the leader, donning a bamboo hat and a black cloak, and summoned Tan Gong, Tan Po, and Zhao Qiansun to intercept Lin Bufan and seize the secret manual of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Why are there so many martial arts manuals and the Seventy-Two Arts in the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Pavilion?
Do you really think that all of these were created by a divine monk hundreds of years ago?
No, a significant portion of it was plundered from martial arts sects and various masters.
After some modifications, it was brazenly branded as its own and claimed to be Shaolin martial arts.
For decades, the library has not been filled with advanced martial arts techniques.
None of the monks in the temple, including Xuan Ci himself, could defeat Qiao Feng's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.
If this continues, where will Shaolin Temple's prestige be? Who in the martial arts world will still take Shaolin Temple seriously?
In the future, when we go out into the world, we need to know how to "uphold justice" for all sects and factions, how to eliminate evil and defend the righteous path, and how to win the hearts of the people.
Therefore, Abbot Xuanci, like Ding Chunqiu and Kumārajīva, was determined to seize the opportunity presented by the Free and Unfettered Sect.
Without further ado, Lin Bufan's group is almost at the territory of the Xingxiu Sect.
The Starry Sky Sect happened to be traveling, so it could be said that they were heading in two directions.
Lin Bufan wants to find Ding Chunqiu, and Ding Chunqiu also wants to find Lin Bufan.
It was quite a coincidence that the two groups met.
Ding Chunqiu had a grand entourage, always traveling with hundreds of people.
Of these, only a few dozen were his personally taught disciples, and a hundred could barely be considered outer disciples.
The remaining two or three hundred... were hired to carry him and shout slogans.
At this moment, Ding Chunqiu sat leisurely in a comfortable chair, being lifted high by eight people.
"Shout! Shout it out, all of you! Shout it the way I taught you!" Ding Chunqiu scolded the outer disciples and servants.
The disciples and servants immediately started beating drums and gongs, waving flags, and shouting in unison.
"The Starry Sky Immortal possesses boundless magical power and great supernatural abilities, and dominates the Central Plains."
"The Starry Sky Immortal possesses unparalleled divine skills, making him invincible in every attack and battle."
"Shout, keep shouting, louder, the louder the better, hahaha."
Ding Chunqiu sat in the chair, tilted his head back, and laughed loudly.
His sharp gaze had already spotted Lin Bufan and his group. He knew they had come to seek revenge, and the information released by his senior brother Su Xinghe had already explained everything.
"Lin Bufan, is that you?"
Ding Chunqiu stood up from his high chair, looking down at Lin Bufan with an arrogant and domineering air.
Lin Bufan said coldly, "It is me. I've come to avenge Senior Wuyazi and deal with you, the traitor of the Xiaoyao Sect."
"Hahaha, are you kidding me? You think you can beat a mere kid like you?"
Ding Chunqiu arrogantly said, "That old codger, I crippled him for decades and he couldn't do anything to me, so what can you do to me?"
Have you mastered the Northern Darkness Divine Skill? Have you mastered the Lesser Formless Skill? Have you mastered the Six Yang Palms of Tianshan?
No way, you didn't even have time to learn. Aside from possessing the sect leader's ring, in what way are you more like a successor of the Free and Unfettered Sect than I am?
"Why don't you hand over the sect leader's ring, all the secret manuals that old codger gave you, and kowtow to me three times? If I'm in a better mood, I might spare your life."
