Zhang Sanfeng was over a hundred years old, but he had white hair and a youthful face, was full of energy, and had the air of a Taoist immortal. You could not see any signs of the old man's decline or vicissitudes.
On the contrary, he was more energetic and vibrant than young people.
He strode into the main hall, greeting the people on both sides as he went.
Song Qingshu followed behind, barely able to keep up with his pace.
"Master Zhang has arrived."
"Great! Master Zhang has finally shown up. I thought I wouldn't get to see him."
"Hmm, Master Zhang looks quite well, and his cultivation seems to have improved even more."
"Isn't Master Zhang also above the Grandmaster level?"
"He is absolutely above the Grandmaster level, but our cultivation is too shallow to sense Zhang Zhenren's true cultivation level."
"I wish I could be Master Zhang's disciple."
The members of the six major sects whispered among themselves, discussing Zhang Sanfeng with great admiration.
The leaders of prominent sects greeted Zhang Sanfeng with clasped hands, showing the respect due to a junior.
Zhang Sanfeng arrived, stood before the crowd, waved to them, and smiled: "I've kept you all waiting. Are you all gathered here today to prepare for a campaign against the Ming Cult?"
"It's not about attacking the Ming Cult, it's about attacking Lin Bufan."
Master Chongxu rushed over, hugged Zhang Sanfeng's leg, and cried out, "Master Zhang, do you still remember me? I am Chongxu, and I was once one of your disciples."
"Chongxu?" Zhang Sanfeng frowned, stroking his white beard, and thought for a long time but still couldn't remember who this person was.
"Does our Wudang Sect have such a person?" Zhang Sanfeng turned to ask Song Yuanqiao.
Song Yuanqiao said, "In the early years, Master did indeed take Junior Brother Chongxu as an outer disciple, but we brothers taught him martial arts on his behalf. After he mastered Tai Chi Sword, he went to the Ming Dynasty and established a branch of Wudang Mountain there."
"Oh, so they really are my disciples and their descendants. I have indeed taken in many outer disciples. I'm getting old and forgetful. I'm sorry, hehehe." Zhang Sanfeng apologized to Daoist Chongxu.
Master Chongxu wanted to address Zhang Sanfeng as "Master" again, but seeing that Zhang Sanfeng had forgotten him, and fearing that people would say he was trying to climb the social ladder, he had no choice but to change his address and call Zhang Sanfeng "Zhang Zhenren".
“Master Zhang, Lin Bufan’s personality has changed drastically ever since he practiced the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique. He killed his father-in-law, slaughtered the entire Qingcheng Sect, abandoned his wife and colluded with the Demonic Sect’s Dongfang Bubai, and killed my junior brother Lingxu and eight of his nephews…”
"Ling Xu? Was he also an outer disciple I took in years ago?"
Zhang Sanfeng scratched his head, feeling a bit dizzy and confused.
He truly dedicated himself to teaching only the Seven Heroes of Wudang, including Song Yuanqiao and Yu Lianzhou, and he especially favored his fifth disciple, Zhang Cuishan.
As for the outer disciples, they were never taught with care. In the early years, they only recruited more outer disciples to enhance the prestige of Wudang Mountain.
Unexpectedly, the outer disciples became quite influential, even setting up their own sect in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty and establishing a branch of Wudang Mountain.
Okay, although I don't really acknowledge the master-disciple relationship or the orthodox lineage in my heart, they are still considered family.
When someone comes to us for help, we should help if we can.
"Tell me slowly, tell me slowly, how did Lin Bufan bully you?"
"he……"
Master Chongxu thought for a moment, then suddenly realized that he couldn't explain it.
He was not present when Master Lingxu and his fellow disciples died; he only heard about it secondhand.
"If you can't say it, then step aside and let this old monk speak."
Abbot Kongwen pushed Lingxu Daoist aside and walked up to Zhang Sanfeng. “Master Zhang, this boy is truly despicable. He annihilated the entire Shaolin Temple in the Northern Song Dynasty and stole many of Shaolin’s unique skills, such as Dragon Claw Hand, Vajra Leg, Great Compassion Hand, and Yi Jin Jing. He is not only a murderous demon, but also a despicable and shameful thief.”
The five elders of the Kongtong Sect, who coveted the divine martial arts manuals on Lin Bufan's body, also stepped forward to plead with Zhang Sanfeng: "We earnestly request that Master Zhang come out of seclusion and lead us to wipe out the great demon Lin Bufan and restore justice to the martial arts world."
"No problem, no problem. I suddenly have something to take care of. You guys go ahead, I'll be there shortly."
Zhang Sanfeng turned around and explained some matters to Song Yuanqiao and the others before leaving the main hall, leaving the bewildered members of the six major sects behind.
"Why did Master Zhang leave?"
"Yes, they left after only a few words."
"They haven't even discussed the plan to besiege Lujiazhuang with us in detail yet."
"Could it be that he's also afraid of Lin Bufan? That's impossible."
"But he clearly doesn't want to take the lead."
"Hmph, what kind of Master Zhang is he? He hides from everything when trouble comes his way. He's no wonder he's hailed as a pillar of the martial arts world."
The last sentence comes from Abbess Miejue.
Abbess Miejue has a sharp tongue and dares to criticize everything and everyone.
Everyone knew that she had a domineering personality and that her martial arts skills were among the best in the area, so no one dared to say anything against her.
Song Yuanqiao quickly came over to reassure everyone, saying loudly, "Master didn't say he wouldn't go. He was in seclusion today, trying to comprehend a formation, but you all suddenly arrived and interrupted him at a crucial moment..."
Abbess Miejue said indignantly, "You mean we're the ones who blame us for disturbing his meditation?"
Song Yuanqiao softened his tone: "I understand everyone's eagerness to rid the martial arts world of this scourge. But Master just had a burst of inspiration and suddenly figured out a new formation, so he was in a hurry to go back to his meditation room to continue his deductions. He told us to go to the Lu Family Manor in Jiangnan first to attack Lin Bufan."
"Then... shall we go to Jiangnan first, and will Master Zhang follow us?" everyone asked curiously.
Song Yuanqiao said, "Master said he will definitely go, and it will be about half a day later."
long time?
Kongwen and Miejue looked at each other, pondering deeply.
That works too.
Miejue believed that with the Heaven-Slaying Sword in hand, what did it matter if someone was above the Grandmaster level? She was definitely a match for them.
