Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 113 Chongxu Promise
Taoist Chongxu thought that Huang Sixi was just young and hot-headed, so he spoke inappropriately.

He didn't want to argue with the younger generation, so he immediately returned to normal and replied calmly: "The Wudang Zhenwu Sword was stolen by the Demon Cult more than 80 years ago. I don't know where the Demon Cult hid it, and it has not been recovered yet."

He remained calm and encouraged Huang Sixi, "If Young Master Huang knows any clues, please inform me. I will reward you handsomely."

"Since the Taoist priest says so, I am willing to serve you!"

Huang Sixi said, "After the Luoshui Conference is over, I will venture to the Demon Sect's territory to find out the whereabouts of the Zhenwu Sword for Taoist Chongxu. I plan to travel for several years and I must find the Zhenwu Sword."

"what?"

Taoist Chongxu was stunned and wondered what this junior meant. Was he just talking nonsense or did he really have a plan to find the sword?

"Young Master Huang, I know that your ancestors have a connection with the Beggars' Sect, but they should have no connection with the Wudang Sect, right?"

Taoist Chongxu asked again: "I am deeply moved by your risk-taking to go to the Demon Sect to find the sword, but I cannot help but wonder why you are so dedicated to Wudang's affairs?"

"That's naturally because I have some connection with Master Zhang Sanfeng." Huang Sixi could justify himself and it was definitely not nonsense.

"Please tell me, Young Master Huang, where this comes from?"

"Master, have you ever heard of Senior Zhang Wuji?"

"Zhang Wuji? Zhang Wuji! I have more than just heard of him. He has a deep connection with Wudang. He is the son of the disciple of the founder Sanfeng!"

"Senior Zhang Wuji's father's name is Zhang Cuishan, and he is the fifth disciple of Master Zhang Sanfeng!"

"That's right! But Zhang Wuji traveled overseas a hundred years ago, and no news of him has been sent back to the Central Plains. I'm afraid no one in the martial arts world remembers his name except me. Young Master Huang knows so much about him. Could it be that you and Zhang Wuji are..."

"Master, please don't misunderstand me. I have no blood relationship with the Zhang family, but Senior Zhang Wuji once helped the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Shi Hongshi. Most of my Beggars' Sect martial arts were passed down by the Shi family. The Shi family told me not to forget Senior Zhang Wuji's kindness. Since Senior Zhang Wuji is the disciple of Master Zhang Sanfeng, he must have some connection with me!"

“Oh, that’s how it is!”

Taoist Chongxu had no doubt about Huang Sixi's words, because Huang Sixi knew more about Zhang Wuji's deeds than he did. If he had not had any dealings with the Zhang family, he would not have been so familiar with him.

He smiled at Hengshan Sanding and said, "I never thought that there are still people in this world who remember Senior Zhang Wuji. What Young Master Huang said about the origin of the Wudang Sect is absolutely true."

The Hengshan Sanding were originally worried that Huang Sixi's remarks would be disrespectful and would offend the Wudang Sect and Taoist Chongxu, but in the blink of an eye, the two of them actually became connected.

This surprised Hengshan Sanding, but he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The deeper the connection between Huang Sixi and the Wudang Sect, the better.

Huang Sixi said again: "Master Chongxu, I just said that I want to go to the Demon Sect to find the Zhenwu Sword. In addition to helping Master Zhang Sanfeng, I actually have my own selfish motives."

Taoist Chongxu suddenly became approachable: "I would like to hear the details."

Huang Sixi said bluntly: "It is rumored that the demon from the Demon Cult not only stole the Zhenwu Sword, but also stole the Tai Chi Boxing Manual written by Zhang Sanfeng. When I am looking for the sword, if I can find the boxing manual, I will naturally want to read the manual."

Taoist Chongxu immediately responded: "Young Master Huang has a connection with Senior Zhang Wuji. Reading the posthumous letter of Patriarch Sanfeng is equivalent to reading the posthumous letter of our ancestors. There is no problem with this. This is by no means selfish!"

At this point, Taoist Chongxu completely believed that Huang Sixi really wanted to find the Zhenwu Sword. After all, Huang Sixi did it not only for the sake of origin, but also for the superior martial arts of the Wudang Sect. This was reasonable.

Ever since the Zhenwu Sword was stolen more than eighty years ago, successive Wudang leaders have made it their top priority to get the sword back. However, the Black Wood Cliff is heavily guarded, and all disciples sent out by successive leaders have died on the cliff, and no one has succeeded so far.

This matter has been delayed until now and has long been the biggest concern of the Wudang Sect. If anyone can return the relics of the founder of the sect to Wudang, he will be the benefactor of the Wudang Sect, and his kindness will be repaid even if he sacrifices his life.

If Huang Sixi allowed the Zhenwu Sword and the handwritten copy of "Tai Chi Boxing Classics" to return to Wudang, Taoist Chongxu would not hesitate to teach him the "Tai Chi Sword Technique", let alone practicing the "Tai Chi Boxing Classics".

Although Taoist Master Chongxu did not hold much hope for Huang Sixi to recover the Zhenwu Sword, as long as Huang Sixi had the courage to take the risk of going to the Demon Sect, he would be 100% willing to support him. He said without hesitation: "Young Master Huang, if you can find the Zhenwu Sword and the Tai Chi Boxing Sutra from the Demon Sect in the future, I will hold a ceremony in Wudang Mountain and grant you the status of a disciple of the fifth disciple of the founder Sanfeng, which will represent your deep connection with the Wudang Sect. From now on, you can walk freely in the Wudang Sect and study the scriptures and read the Tibetan scriptures without any problems."

He pointed at Hengshan Sanding again and said, "Today, the three nuns are witnesses together. I will never break my promise!"

Huang Sixi immediately smiled and said, "Since the Taoist priest said so, then it's a deal."

Even if Huang Sixi interacts with people from the Demon Sect in the future, the Wudang Sect will not have any dissatisfaction with him. Instead, they will speak out to protect him, because it is inevitable to go to the Demon Sect to find the Zhenwu Sword and take some necessary expedient measures.

When the two talked to this point, their friendship suddenly deepened significantly.

Taoist Chongxu stepped forward and closed the distance between himself and Huang Sixi, whispering in his ear: "As for the death of Beggar Gang leader Jie Feng, I have heard from Xin Shanyuan and Song Gengping about the whole story. Jie Feng deserved it. Moreover, he died in a fair fight with Young Master Huang. Young Master Huang, you are not responsible at all. After the Luoshui Conference is held, I will speak for you in front of my fellow martial artists!"

Hengshan Sanding was listening nearby, and all the worries he had felt along the way were instantly swept away.

If the head of Wudang, Taoist Chongxu, stood on Huang Sixi's side, then Huang Sixi's safety would be guaranteed at the Luoshui Conference, and he would no longer have to worry about Zuo Lengchan confusing right and wrong.

As they chatted in this way, the group entered Luoyang City together.

As the Luoshui Conference was being held, martial arts heroes from all over the country poured into the city, and all the big inns had been booked out.

They originally planned to find a small inn to stay in.

Unexpectedly, the Beggar Gang's law enforcement elder Song Gengping had already sent people to wait for Huang Sixi and his party at the city gate.

Not long after Huang Sixi entered the city, Song Gengping came looking for him.

Song Gengping rented a house in the city and invited Huang Sixi and others to stay there.

After only two days' stay, the Luoshui Conference was held as scheduled.

That morning, Huang Sixi, Hengshan Sanding, Taoist Chongxu, and Song Gengping went to the Beggars' Gang branch on the banks of the Luo River.

On the way, Song Gengping explained to Huang Sixi again: "I do not advocate holding this Beggars' Gang Congress, but I am only a law enforcement elder and do not have the right to command the Beggars' Gang. The congress is the result of a consultation among the elders of the gang."

He also assured Huang Sixi: "If the head of Songshan Sect, Zuo Lengchan, reiterates the cause of the death of the former leader Jie Feng at the meeting, I will do my utmost to vouch for Mr. Huang and explain the whole story."

The cause of death is not important at all.

No matter whether Jie Feng is good or bad, a knight or a villain, the righteous sects do not care. They just remember their decades of friendship with Jie Feng and plan to use Zuo Lengchan to avenge Jie Feng.

Whether Jie Feng is a hero or a hypocrite, he has done many favors to the righteous sects in the name of the Beggars' Sect. All the righteous sects owe Jie Feng a favor. As long as Jie Feng is not an unforgivable evildoer, they are willing to help him out as appropriate.

They had no friendship with Huang Sixi. Even if Huang Sixi was chivalrous and killed members of the Demon Cult every day, so what? It had nothing to do with them. They didn't care whether Huang Sixi was treated fairly or not, let alone whether he lived or died.

At this moment, outside the Luoshui branch, a ring more than 20 feet wide and long has been built in an open space adjacent to the river.

Around the arena, thousands of martial arts heroes have already arrived early, and many fellow martial artists are still on their way.

On the other side of the Luoshui River, there were dense crowds of onlookers. They were not invited disciples of the righteous sects. Most of them were local people. Of course, there were also lone travelers and evil figures hiding among them.

When Huang Sixi and others arrived at the venue, they found that the Five Mountains Sword Sects had already gathered and were only waiting for Hengshan Sanding to take their seats.
