Although the West Hall had only been established less than two years ago, its power had already surpassed the East Hall and the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa.
The intelligence network of the West Hall was spread throughout the entire Ming Dynasty. If there was any sign of trouble, the West Hall would be the first to know.
The West Chamber was the first to investigate the destruction of the Flower Transferring Palace, but they found out that the cavalry was not the cavalry of the Northern Borderline.
In other words, within the borders of their Darming Empire, there was an additional cavalry troop of over ten thousand people of unknown origins!
This matter was too strange, and at the same time, it was also a threat.
Zhu Houzhao immediately issued an edict that day, ordering the West, East, and Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa to work together to investigate the matter.
……
Qixia Town, Tongfu Inn.
Although Zhu Houwen had been staying in the guest room, he could hear the discussions of the people in the hall below clearly.
The news of the Shifting Flower Palace had already spread. Many people had their eyes on his Snow Dragon Cavalry.
After the matter at the Shifting Flower Palace was over, Zhu Houwen did not bring the Snowy Dragon Cavalry on their journey. Instead, he had them find a place to hide and wait for orders.
It wasn't that easy to hide a cavalry force of ten thousand people, but within the Daming Empire, there were many deep mountains and valleys. Scattering and hiding wasn't a big problem.
The main reason why Zhu Houwen had destroyed the Shifting Flower Palace with such fanfare was to attract attention.
He was very clear that Zhu Houzhao would definitely not ignore the appearance of such a cavalry of unknown origin in Great Ming.
After that, Zhu Houzhao would shift his attention to the Snow Dragon Cavalry, and he, Zhu Houwen, would be able to take the opportunity to do many things.
"Your Highness, this servant heard that the unorthodox sects in the martial world have recently besieged Shaolin Temple. Monk Fang Zheng of Shaolin Temple asked for help from the Five Mountains Sword Sect. First, he led the disciples of the Five Mountain Sword Sect to Shaolin Temple.”
Yao Yue and Lian Xing had already returned and informed Zhu Houwen of the information they had gathered.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Houwen's interest was piqued.
"Although the Five Mountain Sword Sect is not a top sect, it is still a fighting force. As for the Sun Moon Sect, they were quite powerful.”
Without any hesitation, Zhu Houwen stood up and said,""Let's go. We'll set off for Shaolin Temple."
……
Zhu Houwen, who had left the Northern Borderline, said that he was traveling the martial world, but in reality, he was just expanding his power.
These Jianghu people were very useful. After all, they all had unique skills and were scattered all over the world.
If they could subdue the martial arts world of Great Ming in one fell swoop, when Zhu Houwen rebelled, they would definitely be able to provide him with a lot of help.
Of course, if they couldn't be subdued, they would all be killed.
This was to prevent these people from jumping out to cause trouble when Zhu Houwen raised his army.
Zhu Houwen's trip to the martial world was actually to remove some obstacles in advance and strengthen his own power.
At this moment, people from all walks of life were rushing to Shaolin Temple without stopping.
In Tongfu Inn, Bai Zhantang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhu Houwen and the others leave.
……
In the Shaolin Temple, the people from the various sects had already returned to the Shaolin Temple, but they saw that the thousand-year-old temple in the Shaolin Temple was intact.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but admire Linghu Chong's character.
At this moment, Yao Yue, who was hiding in the dark, said,""That Young Master Linghu's character is indeed not bad. The Huashan Sect actually expelled such a disciple from the sect.”
"The Huashan Sect's sect leader Yue Buqun, known as the Gentleman Sword, is actually just a hypocrite.”Zhu Houwen said with a faint smile.
"Young Master, now that this matter has been settled, is there still a need for us to stay here?”Lian Xing asked.
"We still don't understand this matter.”Zhu Houwen said.
At this moment, the group arrived in front of the Shaolin Temple's main hall.
However, he realized that there were outsiders in the temple.
There were still three people in the temple. They were Ren Woxing, Ren Yingying, and Xiang Wentian.
Master Fang Zheng stepped forward, looked at Ren Yingying, and asked,""Female benefactor, since you have already left Shaolin, why did you return?”
At this moment, he looked at the other two and said,"These two must be the experts of the Black Wood Cliff. Forgive me for being unfamiliar and not having the chance to meet them.”
"This is Sect Master Ren of the Sun Moon Sect, and I'm Xiang Wentian."”
After knowing the identities of the two, the monks of Shaolin Temple raised their sticks one after another, as if they were facing a great enemy, and they were ready to fight.
"Hahaha!" However, Ren Woxing opened his mouth and laughed." I didn't expect this. I've retired from the martial world for twelve years, but everyone still respects me so much. I, Ren Woxing, really feel great comfort."”
"So it's Cult Master Ren and Emissary Xiang to the Left. I've really heard a lot about you! I wonder what you two have come to Shaolin Temple for?”Master Fang Zheng asked.
"This old man has not been involved in the affairs of the world for a long time.”Ren Woxing then pointed at the people beside Master Fang Zheng and asked,""Who are these people?"
"Then I can introduce you.”
"I'm not busy, I'm not busy!" Ren Woxing said,"I've been walking around the martial arts world recently and have heard of some people's reputations."”
Then, he walked up to Wudang Sect's Taoist Priest Chongxu and said,"I believe this is the Wudang Sect's sect leader, Taoist Chong Xu, right?”
"I should be a few years older than Mister Ren," Taoist Chongxu said with a smile. However, I only managed Wudang after Mr. Ren retired.
Of course, I'm a latecomer, but I don't dare to be called a show-off.”
The two of them smiled. Then, Ren Woxing walked to Zuo Lengchan's side and said,""Is this the Head Chief Zuo?"
"That's right."
"We passed it twelve years ago. Has your Great Song Yang Divine Palm improved? It's a pity that I've retired from the martial world for twelve years. There's no one in the martial world who can fight you.”Ren Woxing said.
"A day in the cave is a thousand years in the world," said Zuo Lengchan with a smile. Twelve years had been a long time for heroes to emerge in the martial arts world. Cult Master Ren's past reputation would probably be greatly reduced.”
"Is that so?" "I'm afraid all these heroes are here today, right?" Ren Woxing laughed disdainfully. I want to see what kind of heroes they are!”
Outside the Shaolin Temple, three people stood side by side on a towering ancient tree.
Yao Yue looked at the arrogant Ren Woxing and said with a smile,""Ren Woxing of the Sun Moon Sect is only at the Connate Realm, yet he dares to be so arrogant. What a joke.”
"Young Master, when do you plan to attack?" Lian Xing asked Zhu Houwen.
Zhu Houwen was indeed bored as he watched the people below peck at each other. However, the Snow Dragon Knights were not in position yet, so he did not plan to show himself so soon.
But at this moment, a messenger pigeon flew over. Clearly, his Snow Dragon Cavalry was already in position, ready to attack at any moment.
"Let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Houwen jumped down.
