When everyone saw that Linghu Chong had arrived, they all stepped forward and cupped their fists.”
Linghu Chong hurriedly returned the greeting and walked towards Shaolin Temple. Dongfang followed behind him as Brother Dong. Everyone greeted him. Dongfang stepped forward and gently tapped Linghu Chong with his finger." Master Linghu, you really have a high status in Jianghu. It seems that everyone will admire you in this Martial Arts Circle Convention."
Ling Huchong rolled his eyes at her and said," Brother Dong, don't make fun of me. I'm just a prodigal son. How can I take on such a heavy responsibility?”The two of them looked at each other and smiled before walking towards the main hall.
The moment they entered the door, they saw Master Fangzheng sitting in the middle. There were more than ten tables and chairs on both sides. The sect masters of the five mountains and several large sects in the martial arts world were sitting on them. The elite disciples of the various sects were standing behind their sect masters. When everyone saw Linghu rushing over, they went forward and said," Young Master Linghu!”After Linghu Chong returned the bow, he walked straight to Fangzheng and said,"Junior Linghu Chong greets Master Fangzheng."
Fangzheng waved his hand and said," Patron Linghu, there's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat." Ling Huchong sat in the first row. Next to him was Yi Yu, followed by Mo Da, and then the sect leaders of Mount Hua, Mount Song, and Mount Tai. Xiang Wentian of the Sun Moon Sect sat at the end, and opposite him was Wudang. In front of him were Emei, Kongtong, Kunlun, and other sects.
Tian Boguang saw that Linghu Chong had already arrived, so he patted his shoulder and said happily,"Linghu Chong, you're too late. Is it because you can't bear to part with the world? Is that why you came so late?"”Linghu Chong smiled bitterly and thought,"Brother Tian, how do you know my pain? How can I still be happy when so many things have happened in this world? Yingying is dead, Dongfang is also…" At this time, Tian Boguang seemed to have discovered something. He sniffed left and right and finally stopped in front of Dongfang. Then he said in confusion,"Linghu Chong, you're not honest?"”Dongfang hurriedly pressed his beard and pretended to be calm. Linghu Chong was confused and then said,"Tian brother, what's wrong with you? You speak inexplicably today."
At this moment, Yi Lin stepped forward and tugged at Tian Boguang's clothes, saying," Don't spout nonsense anymore. You're throwing away the people of our Heng Mountain Sect." Then, he forcefully pulled Tian Boguang back. Tian Boguang was still thinking that the person was definitely a woman, and she looked a little familiar. After saying that, he looked at Dongfang. Dongfang was also looking at Tian Boguang at this time. Suddenly, he took out a silver needle and played with it in his hand. Tian Boguang looked at it, and his heart was already cold. He blurted out,"Dongfang…" At this time, everyone was very puzzled. What was wrong with Tian Boguang? Then, they all looked at him. Linghu Chong asked,"Brother Tian, what did you say about Dongfang?" Is it Invincible East?"
Tian Boguang then stammered," No, I didn't say Dongfang Bubai. I said that there was a very cute little nun standing southeast of me. Then, I looked at Yi Lin." Yi Lin's face flushed red. Why was Tian Boguang talking about her like that in front of all the heroes in the world? She felt very shy. Then, he hit Tian Boguang hard and said,"Tian Boguang, if you continue to talk nonsense, I will ignore you!"”Tian Boguang said with a fake smile," Okay, I won't talk nonsense. I won't talk nonsense."”Then, she looked to the east. She had already put away the needles, so she was relieved. Then, she stood behind Yi Lin and occasionally stole glances to the east, afraid that she would hurt herself.
Back to the main topic, Linghu Chong asked Fangzheng in puzzlement," Master Fangzheng, isn't the martial arts tournament tomorrow? It's only fourteen today. Why does it seem like everyone from the various sects has arrived?”
Fangzheng sighed and said," Patron Linghu, you might not know this, but Lin Pingzhi's bloodbath of the various sects has had a huge impact on everyone. Ever since the monastery sent out the invitations, people from the various sects have already come. Some of them arrived on the eighth and ninth of the lunar month. Most of the various sects and sects have arrived the day before yesterday. We were also waiting for you, Patron Linghu. Otherwise, the Martial Arts Circle Convention could have been held earlier."
Linghu Chong thought to himself,"I didn't expect Junior Brother Lin to have such a huge fear of everyone." Thinking of this, the self-blame in his heart increased a little. Dongfang, who was standing behind him, thought, They usually boasted about being a righteous sect, but they were scared by Lin Pingzhi and came to Shaolin Temple to take refuge. It seemed that these righteous sects were also afraid of death. Dongfang shook his head and laughed. At this moment, he almost laughed out loud.
Fang Zheng noticed that Dongfang was laughing behind Linghu Chong. He didn't care about it and thought of something. He immediately stood up and asked Linghu Chong," Young Master Linghu, who is this behind you?”
Linghu Chong looked at Dongfang Dao and cupped his fists at the crowd, saying,"This is a friend of mine. His surname is Dong." Dong Fang also cupped his fists and bowed. The sect leaders of the various sects all bowed in disdain and thought to themselves, How could such a nobody be worth introducing? It was too ridiculous. Only Fangzheng nodded and said," That's good. That's good. This old monk is relieved."
At this time, the sect leader of the Kongtong Sect stood up and said anxiously," Let's not be polite anymore. Let's think about how to deal with Lin Pingzhi, this demon.”This person was straightforward and reckless. Although his martial arts were not weak, he did not have any brains.
Ling Huchong stood up and bowed to him." Senior, is Junior Brother Lin really that terrifying?”The man rolled his eyes at Linghu Chong and said angrily,"If Lin Pingzhi was just an ordinary person, would he be able to make everyone gather for this martial arts tournament?"”Linghu Chong continued," I know Junior Brother Lin's martial arts. Although he's also a first-class expert, he's not…" At this moment, an old man stood up and said," Linghu, my young friend." He was a Void Pierce Realm cultivator. He waved his horsetail whisk and said," I'm ashamed to say this. On the fifth day of last month, Lin Pingzhi killed more than 60 people from Shangqing Temple. The old Taoist priest arrived and found that Lin Pingzhi had not left yet. After 50 rounds, the old Taoist priest gradually lost. If Lin Pingzhi had not used the Heart Sucking Technique to absorb everyone's internal energy and make them unable to calm down for a while, the old Taoist priest would have died in his hands." However, even though the old Daoist priest used the Wudang Sect's lightness skill, Cloud Ladder, to escape, he was severely injured. He needed some time to recuperate. From the old Daoist priest's point of view, unless Master Fangzheng, Linghu, and the old Daoist fought together, they would not be able to win.”
Linghu Chong was shocked and said,"Is it really so powerful?"”Chong Xu returned to his seat and said,"He's no weaker than the leader of the Sun Moon Sect, Dongfang Bubai."
At this moment, Linghu Chong suddenly thought of something." Back at the Plum Village, Dongfang also said that there was someone who fought him to a draw. Could it be Junior Brother Lin? If that's true, then Yingying isn't…"
Fangzheng stood up and said,"It's already late today. Everyone should eat some vegetarian food and rest early. We'll discuss the enemy's plan together tomorrow." Everyone took their leave when they heard Fangzheng say that. Some sighed, some were filled with worry, and some shook their heads as they walked. Only Linghu Chong did not leave. When Mo Da and Yi Yu saw Linghu Chong in a daze, they went forward and asked,"Senior Brother Linghu (Martial Nephew), are you not leaving?"”Linghu Chong looked at them and then cupped his fists and said,
"Master Fangzheng, do you have any evidence for what you and I said at the plum manor that day?”
Fang Zheng smiled and said," I don't have any evidence, but do you have any evidence for what you thought that day?”
Yi Yu and Mo Da were baffled by what the two of them said. What were they talking about?
Ling Huchong continued," Although I didn't see Miss Dongfang kill Yingying, there were only three of us there. Besides, Yingying's words before she died couldn't be a misunderstanding.”At this time, Dongfang sighed and shook his head, saying to Linghu Chong,"I'll go out first. I'll come back to find you after you're done."
Fangzheng did not answer him and continued asking," Patron Linghu, what do you think of Patron Dongfang?”
Linghu Chong pondered for a while and then replied," I don't know what I think of her. She is very good to me and has saved my life time and time again. If it wasn't for him, I, Linghu Chong, would have died long ago. However, good and evil can't coexist. He is the Demon Cult Master, Dongfang Bubai, and he kills without blinking. How can I treat it as nothing?"”
Fangzheng looked at Linghu Chong and walked up to him." Xiang Wentian is now the cult master of the demonic cult. Furthermore, your wife was the sacred nun of the demonic cult. You can marry her and call Xiang Wentian your brother. Why is that?”
Ling Huchong couldn't answer. After a long time, he said," Big Brother Xiang wouldn't kill the innocent. He's been living in peace with all the sects since he became the sect leader. He's completely different from Dongfang Bubai." The more he spoke, the lower his voice became. The more he spoke, the less confident he became.
Fangzheng continued," Everyone says that Invincible East is ruthless and kills without batting an eye. He is the greatest demon in the world, but how many people has he really killed? Liu Zhengfeng's family of Mount Heng was destroyed by Zuo Lengchan, Taoist Tianmen of Mount Tai Sect was killed by Qinghai Owl and Zuo Lengchan, Nun Dingxian of Mount Heng Sect was killed by Mount Song Sect, Nun Dingyi was killed by your master, Mr. Yue, Zuo Lengchan was crippled by your master and killed by the young hero, and Qingcheng Sect was also destroyed by Lin Pingzhi of Huashan Sect. Weren't these all the Five Mountain Sword Sects killing each other? What did this have to do with Invincible East?”
"But that day in the bamboo forest of Shaoshi Mountain, she killed so many people in one go.”Linghu Chong's heart was in a mess.
"Has Almsgiver Linghu killed anyone before? Were there any righteous people among the people killed?" Fangzheng asked.
"So I killed him in self-defense because he wanted to kill me first?”Linghu Chong replied.
Fangzheng shook his head and said," Killing is killing. What's the point of self-defense? Besides, could it be that Invincible East can't kill because her martial arts are the best in the world? I've said all I can. Please take care of yourself, young hero.”
At this time, Mo Da, who was beside him, spoke up," Although I have never seen Dongfang Bubai, the reason why our Five Mountains Sect can live in peace with the Demonic Sect in the past ten years is because she is the leader. If it was Ren Woxing, I don't know what the Jianghu would be like." Moreover, if Dongfang Bubai didn't seize the position of sect leader, Ren Woxing would have said that he would destroy all the sects of the Five Mountains Sect. In that case, Dongfang Bubai was also saving the lives of the Five Mountains Sect.”Linghu Chong thought that he had heard his master talk about this when he was young, but he had never thought about it and did not know that Miss Dongfang was Dongfang Bubai.
Yi Yu said," Senior Brother Linghu, I don't believe that Invincible East is that kind of person either. Although I've only met her once, I still believe in her." Linghu Chong was silent as he began to recall the past. Did I misunderstand her from the beginning? Could it be that everything I thought before was wrong?
Fangzheng said," Everyone, go and rest. We'll discuss the Martial Arts Circle Convention tomorrow."
