Laughing at the Heavens: From Flying Knife Skills to Shattering the Void

Chapter 199 Arriving hand in hand
"How can I face people from now on?"

Mrs. Wang looked at the child in her arms and held her face with her hands.

Although he had prepared himself mentally, when the birth really happened, he still didn't know how to face it.

"Don't worry, at worst you can just say you found it."

Lin Pingan seemed extremely calm.

Mrs. Wang remained silent. He really had no better solution now.

"But does this child really have to grow up without knowing who his parents are?"

Mrs. Wang had a complicated expression and muttered to herself.

"I will accept him as my apprentice, don't worry."

Lin Pingan comforted softly.

Ning Zhongze, who was standing by, also had a complicated expression when he saw this scene.

Because a month later, she will face the same problem.

Therefore, she understood Mrs. Wang's feelings very well.

In fact, her condition is worse than Mrs. Wang's.

But thinking that Mrs. Wang was also Lin Ping'an's stepmother, it seemed that their situations were similar.

"Ugh!"

All the sorrows turned into a long sigh.

After Lin Ping'an comforted Mrs. Wang and came out, he saw Ning Zhongze's face full of sorrow and naturally guessed what Ning Zhongze was thinking.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Lin Pingan comforted softly.

Ning Zhongze shook his head, "Some things cannot be solved by you, nor by strength or status."

"No matter how powerful you are, our relationship is ultimately shameful. The child's identity is also shameful. He will be born and raised in a shameful environment. I feel guilty!"

Ning Zhongze spoke softly and slowly.

Lin Pingan was silent for a moment.

This is indeed something he cannot change.

Even if he was not afraid of rumors, Ning Zhongze obviously could not accept it.

So this is a dead end.

Lin Ping'an was not prepared to force any changes.

During these few months, undercurrents in the martial arts world have resurfaced.

Lin Ping'an continued to serve as the leader of Wu Lina, and issued many rules for the harmony and tranquility of the martial arts world.

But what people in the underworld cannot accept the most is constraints.

Especially with the defeat of the great enemy, the Demon Cult, and the absence of external threats, internal conflicts naturally emerged.

If a sect wants to be strong, it needs all kinds of materials for cultivation, and it also needs a large population within its sphere of influence. Only with a large enough population can more geniuses be born.

If a sect wants to become strong, it has to cultivate geniuses.

Even if this genius does not have such a terrifying talent as Lin Ping'an, as long as he has one tenth of his, it is enough to make a sect rise and become one of the best in the world.

Lin Ping'an has completely become a legend.

It took only less than a year for one person to defeat the number one martial artist in the world, Dongfang Bubai, and become the supreme master of martial arts.

He even led the righteous path to defeat the evil cult that had been suppressing the righteous path for a hundred years, completely changing the situation that had existed for a hundred years.

There are too many stories about Lin Ping'an to mention, and each one of them is enough to become a proud topic of conversation among others.

However, when it comes to their respective interests, no matter how powerful Lin Ping'an is, he cannot suppress the greed that is ready to move.

What big sects pay attention to when training disciples is resources.

Whether it is objects or people.

But resources are fixed. If you eat one more bite, others will have to eat one less bite.

Especially the defeat of the Demon Cult gave up a large amount of resources. These ownerless resources naturally made various forces salivate.

Struggle naturally ensues.

Even though Lin Ping'an was in charge and making the rules, this caused strong dissatisfaction among many sects, forces or people who were not well fed or had little to eat.

Over time, this turned into dissatisfaction with Lin Pingan.

In particular, although the Demon Cult was defeated, it did not perish.

Because of Lin Ping'an's existence, no one dared to act openly. But the world is so big, how can one person suppress the whole world?

"Saint Aunt, now that the old leader has died tragically and Dongfang Bubai is missing, our Divine Cult needs you!"

"Saint Aunt, you are now the backbone of our religion. Only if you take on the role of leader can you calm people's hearts and continue our religion!"

In a secret place, Xiang Wentian spoke earnestly.

"Uncle Xiang, you know me. I don't have such ambitions. And you also know the relationship between me and Lin Pingan. You are making it very difficult for me to deal with this!"

Ren Yingying shook her head and refused directly.

"Of course I know the relationship between you and Lin Ping'an, Saint Aunt. That's why you are more suitable to be the leader. As long as you become the leader, Lin Ping'an will definitely show mercy, and my Demon Cult will be able to continue!"

"Saint Aunt, you also grew up in the church. Can you just watch our church become history and be completely destroyed?"

Xiang Wentian was very emotional.

"This……"

Ren Yingying had mixed emotions. Without waiting for her to speak, Xiang Wentian continued, "What's more, the Divine Religion was the lifelong effort of the old leader. Now that the old leader is dead, you can't abandon it, Saint Aunt!"

"Only if you become the leader can our cult get a chance to breathe."

"Ugh!"

Hearing this, Ren Yingying sighed, and finally nodded, "I only agree to temporarily take charge of the Divine Religion, but I still have to choose a more suitable candidate in the future."

Ren Yingying could only agree temporarily.

After all, she grew up in the Sun-Moon Divine Sect, and it was impossible for her to erase the mark of the Sun-Moon Divine Sect on her body.

And Xiang Wentian helped her a lot.

Over the past decade, he has been searching for his father's whereabouts all the time.

Although my father is dead now, his kindness cannot be forgotten.

Therefore, since Xiang Wentian insisted so much, she had no choice but to agree.

"That's great. With you, Saint Aunt, as the leader, the originally scattered people's hearts will surely be able to gather again soon. As long as we unite as one, we can lead the Divine Religion to rise again."

Xiang Wentian said excitedly.

……

"Master Chongxu, Master Fangzheng, it was you who originally proposed to hold the martial arts conference and elect a martial arts leader. Now that the Demon Cult has been defeated and Dongfang Bubai's whereabouts are unknown, the Demon Cult has become history. I think there is no need for a martial arts leader anymore, right?"

Kunlun Sect's leader Zhen Shanzi spoke.

Others also echoed, "Yes, the leader of the martial arts world was decided by the two seniors, and now it is naturally time for the two seniors to speak."

After all, no one dared to offend Lin Pingan directly, and no one dared to talk to Lin Pingan about this matter face to face.

So everyone came together to find Chongxu and Fangzheng.

"Two seniors, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it!"

"Now that the evil ways have been destroyed, we don't need another emperor above our heads."

"Yes, this matter was originally initiated by the two seniors. Moreover, the two seniors are the most senior people in the martial arts world today, and their strength is second only to Lin Ping'an. It is most appropriate for the two seniors to speak."

Everyone spoke to persuade him.

But Taoist Chongxu and Master Fangzheng both looked a little unhappy.

Given their status and cunning, they are now annoyed by the shamelessness of these people.

Taoist Chongxu couldn't help but snorted coldly, "You guys have a good idea, let us be the villain."

“In today’s martial arts world, there are only two seniors whose strength is second only to Lin Ping’an!” Taoist Song Wen of the Emei Sect said with a chuckle.

"What a joke! With our strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to take more than one blow from Lin Ping'an."

"You don't dare to say anything, but you come to us to be scapegoats. Do you think that the Taoist priest is easier to deal with than Lin Pingan?"

"Lin Ping'an can kill people, but I, an old Taoist priest, am still not too weak to lift the sword!"

Taoist Chongxu sneered repeatedly and spoke threateningly.

With Lin Ping'an's current strength, even if their strength is stronger than everyone present, in Lin Ping'an's eyes, there is no difference at all.

Chongxu's blunt words made the leaders of various factions on both sides look embarrassed.

It also reminded everyone that Taoist Chongxu was not someone who was easy to bully.

The Wudang sect is as famous as the Shaolin sect.

They also cannot afford to offend him.

Lin Ping'an is now known for his ferocity, but when Taoist Chongxu was young, he was also decisive and murderous.

However, most people of the same generation as Chongxu are now dead in the martial arts world.

Therefore, they all forgot Chongxu's former reputation.

Now, Chongxu was angry, and his powerful aura made everyone present except Fang Zheng nervous.

"Senior, you are joking. How dare we plot against you? Just pretend we never said anything about this."

Taoist Song Wen of the Emei Sect immediately apologized.

In the past, Emei and Wudang were on par with each other.

The two factions have deep roots.

But now, the status and strength of both sides have changed dramatically.

"Amitabha!"

At this time, Fang Zheng finally spoke up, "I understand your concerns, but I believe that Mr. Lin is not an unkind person. If you sincerely ask for a meeting and explain this matter, I believe Mr. Lin will agree."

"Therefore, there is no need for you to beat around the bush here. Sometimes being sincere will show your sincerity."

"But……"

Taoist Songwen smiled awkwardly and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Since the two seniors said so, why don't we go to Huashan together and talk to Lin Pingan clearly."

At this time, Zhen Shanzi suddenly stood up and said to Chongxu and Fangzheng with a smile. Then he turned around and said loudly to the leaders of other sects: "What do you think?"

"Good idea. Since we elected him together, it's time for us to remove him together. Why not hold a new martial arts conference to resolve this matter?"

The others stood up and spoke.

"Yes, we will hold the martial arts conference again. Lin Pingan refused to be the leader of the martial arts world at the beginning. There are so many trivial matters in the martial arts world. I think Lin Pingan can cultivate so fast and is unwilling to waste time on trivial matters. We will succeed if we persuade him with kind words."

"Without the threat of the Demon Cult, we can handle the affairs of the martial arts world on our own. There is no need for anyone to judge justice. Don't you agree?"

"That makes sense. I agree. Let's go together."

Many people stood up and agreed.

Chongxu and Fangzheng looked at each other and naturally understood that these people were still not brave enough and wanted them to encourage them. If something really happened, they might be able to put all the blame on them.

However, at this point, the two of them had no reason to refuse. After all, it was they who had facilitated this matter in the first place.

Although they are also dedicated to the righteous path and to fighting against the evil cult.

"In that case, I will go with you all."

Chongxu sighed and then spoke.

After all, given the current situation, if we don’t go, I’m afraid there will be more problems.

As Wudang is the leader of the righteous path, it is natural that it cannot lack the necessary responsibilities.

If you don't go, you will offend all the factions.

This is not good for Wudang.

If a sect wants to last long, especially if it is in a high position, it must make more good friends.

Only when you have more friends can you go forward smoothly.

If you offend everyone, nothing will go smoothly in the future.

Many people might try to trip you up.

Therefore, although Chongxu was very annoyed with these people, he had to agree.

……

Huashan.

When Lin Ping'an learned that Chongxu, Fangzheng and the leaders of various Kunlun sects were coming, his eyes flashed and he asked someone to invite them in.

"These people came to Huashan together to look for me. It seems that they are here to discuss the matter of becoming the leader of the martial arts world."

Lin Ping'an's eyes flashed, and he immediately guessed these people's intentions.

After all, since the fall of the Sun and Moon Sect, this is the only thing that can bring these people together.

People in the martial arts world are free and easy, and do what they want. Naturally, they don't like to have an emperor over their heads to control them.

Now that the threat of the Sun and Moon Sect is gone, he naturally has to find a way to abdicate and return to the way things were before.

After all, he holds the position of leader of the martial arts world, so he naturally possesses great righteousness and can command all the major sects. If anyone disobeys him, he can get rid of him.

Zuo Lengchan is only the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, but he can use various means to seize justice and eliminate hostile forces.

As the leader of the alliance, he is naturally righteous and his power is far beyond what Zuo Lengchan can compare to.

This naturally made the leaders of the major sects feel like a tight hoop was around their heads.

They are all worried about what will happen if they offend Lin Pingan?
Soon after.

A group of people came into the hall one after another.

"It's been a long time since we last saw Alliance Leader Lin. You look even more charming than before!"

Taoist Chongxu said with a smile.

"Senior Chongxu, Master Fangzheng, you two have come from afar. Please forgive me for not welcoming you in person."

Lin Ping'an stood up and nodded with a smile.

"You are now the leader of the alliance, how can we allow you to come and greet us?"

Chongxu immediately shook his head, "We have also heard about what happened at Huashan. Sect Leader Yue was really unlucky. Fortunately, Zuo Lengchan and Ren Woxing are both dead now, so this can be considered revenge for Sect Leader Yue."

"Thank you for your concern. I wonder what brings you all here today?"

Lin Pingan asked directly without any nonsense.

Although he had already guessed the reason.

Lin Ping'an's eyes swept across the faces of everyone present.

The people who had caused the most trouble before, such as Kunlun Sect Leader Zhen Shanzi, Emei Taoist Master Song Wen and others, were now speechless and looked at Chongxu and Fangzheng.

"Amitabha!"

Fang Zheng lowered his eyelids slightly, and then said: "Master Zhenshanzi and Taoist Songwen thought that now that the Demon Sect has been destroyed, the Righteous Alliance is no longer needed, so they invited us to come to Huashan together to ask the leader's opinion."

Fang Zheng did not hide anything and directly pointed out Zhen Shanzi, Song Wen and others.

This shows that this matter was not organized by ourselves.

Although Fang Zheng is the abbot of Shaolin Temple, he is not pedantic.

It is naturally impossible to take the blame for both of them.

Lin Ping'an's strength is known to the world, and he doesn't want to offend Lin Ping'an and bring disaster to Shaolin.

Especially, this is unnecessary.

When Fang Zheng said this, Chongxu was surprised. Zhenshanzi, Songwen and others changed their expressions and cursed in their hearts.
