Master Fang Sheng had been sitting on the fishing platform all this while. He did not expect Zhu Houzhao to suddenly ask him. He paused for a moment and then put his palms together."Amitabha, Young Master Zhu's words are reasonable, but…"
Zhu Houzhao interrupted Fang Sheng and said indifferently,""There's no buts. Buddha's words can't be wrong, right? Or do you want to treat them differently?"
"Amitabha!" Upon hearing this, Master Fang Sheng put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha. He retreated to the side and said no more.
This retreat could actually be considered Shaolin's attitude.
The Shaolin Sect had no intention of getting involved in Liu Zhengfeng's matter this time. They would not offend Zhu Houzhao for the sake of the Mount Song Sect, or rather, the Iron Gut Divine Marquis Zhu Bujue behind him.
The current Liu Residence had gathered all the sects and forces of the Great Ming Dynasty. Zhu Houzhao naturally could not force all the sects to oppose him at once, so he planned to divide them.
Zhu Houzhao directly used the words of Buddha to shut the Shaolin Sect's mouth and make them retreat.
On the one hand, Zhu Houzhao was able to guess what Fang Sheng and the Shaolin Sect were thinking.
On the other hand, it was because of the Shaolin Sect's status in the Ming Dynasty.
The Shaolin Sect was the most powerful sect in the Ming Dynasty, and only the Wudang Sect could be compared to it.
With the Shaolin Sect retreating, the other sects and forces, as well as the heroes of the martial world, would also be more inclined to retreat.
When the heroes in the hall saw this scene, their eyes flickered and their thoughts kept changing.
Duan Yu looked at Zhu Houzhao's position with admiration. He said to Zhu Danchen beside him,""Big Brother Zhu, this Young Master Zhu of yours is really amazing. He forced the Southern Shaolin Temple to retreat with a single word, and what he said is very reasonable. I just feel that if there's anything, we can have a good talk. It's not good to fight and kill.”
Southern Shaolin was the name given to the Shaolin Sect of the Ming Empire. In contrast, the Shaolin Sect of the Song Empire was known as the Northern Shaolin.
Zhu Danchen said in a low voice," Young Master, this is the Great Ming Empire. Please be careful with your words. That Young Master Zhu is obviously from the Great Ming Empire's royal family. I don't dare to climb up to him."”
Duan Yu nodded and said nothing more. He continued to look in Zhu Houzhao's direction with admiration.
After Shaolin Temple left, Zhu Houzhao looked at Wudang Sect and cupped his hands."I've long heard that the Wudang Sect's Perfected Zhang is the best in martial arts and has a noble character. His reputation has spread all over the world. The seven Wudang chivalrous men under him were chivalrous and righteous, and their reputation for chivalry spread throughout the world.”
"In order to deal with Liu Zhengfeng, Mount Song Sect kidnapped the old, weak, women and children. This is against chivalrous behavior. If Perfected Zhang was here, how could he just stand by and watch? Didn't Qixia Mo feel that it was against his teacher's teachings?”
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Mo Shenggu's face turned red. He cupped his fists at Zhu Houzhao and said respectfully,""Thank you for your reminder, Young Master Zhu. I almost ruined my master and Wudang's reputation. I will do more chivalrous deeds in the future to make up for today's mistake. Since Young Master Zhu is here to uphold justice today, I won't embarrass myself.”
After saying that, Silent Valley led Song Qingshu and the Wudang Sect disciples to the Shaolin Sect's side.
When the heroes saw this, their hearts were instantly shaken!
First Shaolin, then Wudang.
The two great figures were forced to retreat by Zhu Houzhao's words. This was much more powerful than Zhu Houzhao using the power of the imperial court to suppress them!
After Shaolin and Wudang retreated to the side, Zhu Houzhao looked in the direction of the Kongtong Sect and smiled."The five elders of the Kongtong Sect are loyal and righteous. They have previously stood up and reprimanded the Mount Song Sect for its domineering and evil deeds. I believe they will not agree to make things difficult for the old, weak, women, and children of the Liu residence, right?”
When the five elders of the Kongtong Sect heard Zhu Houzhao's words, their faces instantly lit up. They smiled at the same time and said,"Of course. We will just watch Young Master Zhu deal with it.”
Then, the Kongtong Sect also retreated to the side.
Without waiting for Zhu Houzhao to speak, Duan Yu suddenly stood up and said,""Young Master Zhu, I support you. I feel that no matter what, the old, weak, women, and children of the Liu Residence are all innocent. Moreover, Liu Zhengfeng doesn't seem to be an evil person.”
After saying that, Duan Yu led his four retainers and moved toward the side of Shaolin Temple and Wudang Temple.
Originally, Shaolin and Wudang had chosen a position randomly, but now, it seemed to have become a symbol of their team.
After that, Kunlun, Beggar's Sect, and the other heroes of Jianghu mostly retreated to the side of Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect.
When Fei Bin saw this, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He shouted at Zhu Houzhao,""Young Master Zhu, you're trying to absolve Liu Zhengfeng by beating around the bush. Are you treating all the heroes in the world as fools?”
"Nie Feng, slap your mouth!"
Hearing Fei Bin's words, Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned cold and he said coldly,"
"Yes, sir!"
"Pa!"
Nie Feng's reply and the resounding sound of the slap echoed in the hall at almost the same time.
Everyone only saw a white shadow flash past and Fei Bin's face was slapped!
Looking at Nie Feng, who had returned to his original position and did not seem to have moved at all, everyone was shocked!
Fei Bin was one of the best among the Thirteen Guardians of Mount Song, but he had already reached the early-stage of the great grandmaster realm. He was actually slapped by Nie Fan without realizing it!
Just how powerful was this Nie Feng?
Zhu Houzhao saw everyone's expressions and nodded in satisfaction.
It seemed that Nie Feng's speed was indeed faster after breaking through.
On the day they arrived at Hengyang City, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun had both broken through to the intermediate stage of the martial grandmaster realm. With the combination of wind and cloud, they could defeat most late-stage martial grandmasters and even fight peak martial grandmasters!
Nie Feng had the title of the God of Wind, so his speed was naturally extremely fast!
For the sake of Great Ming's overall situation, Zhu Houzhao didn't want to use his power to force Great Ming's Jianghu forces to lower their heads.
But Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't think that reasoning was enough.
However, when he faced the forces of the martial world, Zhu Houzhao mostly relied on the principles of the martial world and not the laws of the court.
First, he had to gain the upper hand and then suppress them with his strength. The combination of the king and the tyrant was the path of an emperor!
