Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 133 Cause of Death and Sending Sutras
Seeing the righteous leaders in panic, Lan Fenghuang felt as if they had reached the end of their road.

She said angrily: "You clearly had the opportunity to come down the mountain and besiege and kill Dongfang Bubai together, but you were too timid to take action. You brought this upon yourself, and you can't blame others."

The heroes were not angry when they heard her sarcasm, because what she said was the truth and the opportunity to besiege Dongfang Bubai should indeed be seized.

But now that things have come to this, there is no use regretting.

The heroes all said in defense, "It's not that we didn't dare to take action, but we were worried that Ren Woxing would attack us from behind. We originally planned to catch Ren Woxing and kill him first, and then deal with Dongfang Bubai. Who knew that Ren Woxing would escape so quickly!"

Lan Fenghuang continued to criticize without mercy: "This is not Blackwood Cliff, but Shaolin Temple. Even if Ren Woxing launches a sneak attack, he is outnumbered and you can stop him together. In the final analysis, you are still afraid of being injured and are unwilling to fight with the Demon Cult. But the more you want to keep things quiet, the higher the price will be!"

Seeing Lan Fenghuang embarrass them one after another, the heroes gradually became annoyed: "You don't have to say sarcastic words here. Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing have teamed up and are planning to kill everyone in the righteous way. No one will be able to escape then!"

Lan Fenghuang wanted to ridicule him again, but when she saw Huang Sixi waving his hand at her, she immediately fell silent.

When the other heroes saw this, they all realized that she had a close relationship with Huang Sixi.

At the moment, the enemy is at hand and Huang Sixi's help is urgently needed to resist the Demon Cult. The heroes do not want to offend Lan Fenghuang and suddenly smile: "My lady, if Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing really come to kill us, we will never retreat and will protect your safety at the risk of our lives."

Lan Fenghuang rolled her eyes at the heroes, thinking, "Do I need your protection? You need the young master's protection, right?"

No matter who protects whom, they are now in the same boat.

Master Fang Zheng asked: "Now that Shaoshi Mountain has been blocked by the Demon Cult, how do you plan to deal with it? Should we gather all our forces to fight the Demon Cult, or should we temporarily return to the temple and make long-term plans?"

While the heroes were thinking.

Lin Pingzhi said coldly, "When the Qingcheng Sect wiped out the entire Fuwei Escort Agency, they drew a blood line like this in front of my house, and also left six similar blood characters, which read 'Those who walk ten steps outside will die'. Sect Leader Yu has rich experience in exterminating sects and is well versed in the ways of the Demon Sect. Why not ask him for advice? Maybe we can defeat the Demon Sect!"

"You fart!"

Yu Canghai was furious: "You killed my own son Yu Renyan in the inn first. The hatred of killing my son is irreconcilable. Don't you allow me to take revenge on your Lin family?"

Yue Lingshan immediately chimed in: "Your son is a dishonest person. He molested me in the inn first. Junior Brother Lin saw the injustice and started an argument with him, and then he accidentally killed him. It was all his own fault. What does Junior Brother Lin have to do with it?"

Yu Canghai cursed back, "Bah! You two conspired to kill my son, and you turned around and distorted the truth to smear my son's reputation. You are so hateful! Huashan Sect is full of shameless men and women. Linghu Chong colluded with the Demon Sect. You two must be suspects too!"

Yu Canghai originally targeted the Lin family in order to seize the "Bixie Sword Manual". Regardless of whether his son was dead or alive, he would definitely destroy the Lin family.

However, he could not talk in depth about the Lin family's affairs in front of the righteous heroes. After all, Lin Pingzhi was the person involved. If he continued the conversation, Lin Pingzhi would reveal all his past.

He changed the topic to the Demon Cult: "My fellow Taoists, we should first put all the people of Huashan Sect under surveillance to prevent them from colluding with the Demon Cult!"

Yue Buqun's face suddenly changed: "Master Yu, aren't you going too far? The hatred between Huashan Sect and the Demon Sect is as deep as the sea, and everyone in the martial arts world knows it. How could we be secretly communicating with the Demon Sect?"

Yu Canghai sneered, "Deep hatred? I think we should just call each other brothers! A few months ago, Xiang Wentian reappeared in the martial arts world. My Qingcheng Sect planned to join forces with the other sects of Mount Tai to kill Xiang Wentian, but Linghu Chong showed up halfway and rescued Xiang Wentian! You can ask the head of Mount Tai, Taoist Tianmen, if this is true?"

Taoist priest Tianmen nodded: "Xiang Wentian was indeed rescued by Linghu Chong!"

Yu Canghai became more and more excited as he spoke: "If Linghu Chong really has nothing to do, he can go kill bandits and bullies, help the poor people, or at worst stay in Huashan and practice martial arts? If he didn't rescue Xiang Wentian, how could Ren Woxing return to the martial arts world? How could Dongfang Bubai come to Shaolin Temple? You still say that Huashan Sect has no secret connection with the Demon Sect?"

Yue Buqun was speechless when he heard the accusation.

The root cause of today's bloody incident lies with Linghu Chong.

The reason why Linghu Chong left Huashan and went to rescue Xiang Wentian was actually because of a trivial matter.

Yue Buqun agreed to betroth Yue Lingshan to Lin Pingzhi, but Linghu Chong was deeply in love with Yue Lingshan. After hearing the news, he immediately left Huashan and his whereabouts are unknown.

It was during this period that Linghu Chong met Xiang Wentian.

If Yue Buqun had not agreed to the engagement between Yue Lingshan and Lin Pingzhi, Linghu Chong would definitely still be staying on Mount Huashan and would not have met Xiang Wentian.

But Yue Buqun could not explain the twists and turns, so he said to Yu Canghai: "I have just expelled Linghu Chong from Huashan. His contact with the Demon Cult has nothing to do with Huashan Sect! As for the matter of Fuwei Escort Agency, it has been so long, it is useless to mention it again. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, we should unite against it and discuss how to deal with the invasion of the Demon Cult first!"

"Humph! You were the ones who brought this up first!"

Yu Canghai seemed to have won a battle. When he saw Yue Buqun surrender, he stopped pestering Linghu Chong.

Lan Fenghuang felt disgusted when she saw Yu Canghai's smug face.

She hated the evil cult's behavior, and she also had no good impression of the righteous path. These people in the righteous path actually committed evil deeds of exterminating their entire families, and they still walked around the world openly. Could they be expected to do good deeds? If they didn't oppress the good, they would be very lucky.

Lan Fenghuang thought: "Even if these righteous people are destroyed, they are not worth pitying! The young master often lives in Jianglong Villa and is unwilling to associate with righteous people. He should have seen through the true colors of these people a long time ago!

But the young master is nominally a disciple of Hengshan and Wudang, and he has not given up his righteous identity, which means he still leans towards the righteous side. I want to persuade the young master not to care about the feud between the righteous and the evil sects, but I'm afraid he won't agree! So I'd better not say anything. No matter what the young master plans to do, I will accompany him!"

Thinking of this, Lan Fenghuang gave up the idea of persuading Huang Sixi to leave alone.

Master Fang Zheng looked around the crowd and saw that none of the sect leaders could come up with a good solution, so he asked Huang Sixi, "Master Huang, what do you think we should do about the current situation?"

Huang Sixi asked back: "Master, what do you think?"

Master Fang Zheng pointed at Linghu Chong: "I want Young Hero Linghu to be the messenger..."

Before he could finish his words, Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sect and Le Hou of the Songshan Sect strongly objected: "No! This kid is a spy of the Demon Sect and should be kept under guard. If we let him go, what if he defected to the Demon Sect? Wouldn't that create a powerful enemy for our righteous path?" The leaders of various sects were hesitant and could not make up their minds whether they should believe Linghu Chong.

Huang Sixi had already said that Linghu Chong should go and rescue Yi Lin, so he said, “If we can’t send a messenger, we can only gather all the troops and go directly to fight the Demon Cult. Otherwise, if we delay, the situation will only become more and more passive when the Demon Cult captures other orthodox comrades! If you don’t agree with Brother Linghu going out to deliver the letter, then go and prepare for war!”

As soon as they heard that a war was about to start, Yu Canghai and Le Hou immediately stopped their fighting. If Huang Sixi left the battlefield without permission during the battle, who would be able to resist Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing joining forces? By then, Master Fang Zheng would not be able to withstand a few replies and would be killed, not to mention the others.

Among all the righteous people present, Huang Sixi and Master Fangzheng have become pillars of the sky, their status and role are irreplaceable. Yu Canghai and Le Hou suddenly realize that every word spoken by Huang Sixi and Master Fangzheng is actually an order, and the righteous sects are not allowed to object.

Seeing that the heroes had no more objections, Master Fang Zheng gave Linghu Chong some instructions and then signaled Linghu Chong to go out and challenge the enemy.

Huang Sixi and Linghu Chong crossed the blood line at the foot of the mountain.

Then he said in private: "Dongfang Bubai's conflict with Ren Woxing has become irreconcilable in order to avenge Yang Lianting. They suddenly joined hands to conspire. There must be a reason. You can go and find out the inside story!"

Linghu Chong asked curiously, "Brother Huang fought with Dongfang Bubai earlier. It was clearly the first time you two met. How come Brother Huang knows Dongfang Bubai so well?"

Huang Sixi said: "This is not much of an understanding!"

Linghu Chong showed a bitter look on his face: "When we first killed Yang Lianting, none of us took it seriously. He was just the chief steward of the Demon Cult and had no relationship with Dongfang Bubai. We all thought he was a flatterer. It was not until Dongfang Bubai relentlessly pursued and killed him, claiming to avenge Yang Lianting, that we realized that he had a special relationship with Yang Lianting!"

Huang Sixi asked again: "Who killed Yang Lianting?"

Linghu Chong replied, "At the beginning, I was held hostage by the four friends of Plum Manor. Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian went to capture Yang Lianting to save me. No one wanted to kill Yang Lianting. Both of us wanted to exchange hostages safely. But during the exchange, the Six Immortals of Taogu suddenly intervened. They went crazy and eventually led to Yang Lianting's tragic death!"

Huang Sixi immediately asked, "Could it be that the Six Immortals of Taogu killed Yang Lianting?"

Linghu Chong nodded.

When the hostages were exchanged, due to mutual distrust, the two sides kept a long distance between each other and let the hostages walk to the other side by themselves. As a result, halfway through the journey, the Six Immortals of Taogu suddenly appeared and kidnapped Yang Lianting and Linghu Chong.

This was an unexpected situation and both sides were extremely nervous. They started fighting immediately. Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian were quick and injured the Six Immortals of Taogu first, and snatched Linghu Chong away.

But when they wanted to rob Yang Lianting again, they found that Yang Lianting's bones were already broken and he was dead on the spot. The culprit was the Six Immortals of Taogu.

When the four friends of Meizhuang saw that Yang Lianting was dead and the hostages were taken away, they no longer had the will to resist. They took the Three Corpses Brain Pill and obeyed Ren Woxing from then on. They also helped Ren Woxing capture the Six Immortals of Taogu.

Originally, Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian were planning to kill the Six Immortals of Taogu. Linghu Chong remembered that at the Luoshui Conference, Huang Sixi had asked him, "Do you know the Six Immortals of Taogu?"

At that time, Linghu Chong was wondering who dared to call himself an immortal.

After hearing the Six Immortals of Taogu introduce themselves, Linghu Chong determined that they were old friends of Huang Sixi, so he pleaded with Ren Woxing to spare their lives.

Later, when Dongfang Bubai came to hunt him down and Yi Lin showed up to rescue him, Linghu Chong realized that the Six Immortals of Taogu were commissioned by Yi Lin to inquire about Linghu Chong's whereabouts.

The six people have no relationship with Huang Sixi.

Linghu Chong recounted the situation of the Peach Valley Six Immortals, and finally said, "On the way, the Peach Valley Six Immortals repeatedly resisted the pursuers of the Demon Cult and suffered serious injuries. After arriving at Shaolin Temple, Ren Woxing was worried that the Peach Valley Six Immortals would talk nonsense, so he asked them to enter the secret passage to recuperate. Yi Lin wanted to treat them, so she also followed them into the secret passage."

When he got to this point, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Oh no! Ren Woxing held Yi Lin hostage. Could it be that he wanted to hand over the Six Immortals of Taogu to Dongfang Bubai to resolve Yang Lianting's hatred?"

As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, so who killed Yang Lianting? The murderer will be left to Dongfang Bubai.

At first, Ren Woxing would rather escape to Shaolin Temple than hand over the Six Immortals of Taogu, naturally in order to stabilize Yi Lin and Linghu Chong.

Now that the situation has changed, Ren Woxing can no longer care about so many things.

As for whether Dongfang Bubai would listen to my one-sided story? The Six Immortals of Taogu were already crazy and stupid, so it would be easier to torture them.

However, if Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying had not kidnapped Yang Lianting, Yang Lianting would definitely not have died. Dongfang Bubai might have temporarily let Ren Woxing and the other two go due to the situation, but he would still have to settle the old accounts in the end.

Huang Sixi said, "The Six Immortals of Taogu appeared at the hostage exchange site because of Yilin. If Ren Woxing hands Yilin over to Dongfang Bubai, you should not go out to deliver the message for the time being. Come back and deliver the news about Yilin first."

Linghu Chong looked guilty: "Brother Huang, I'm really sorry. I didn't know things would get to this point!"

Huang Sixi waved his hand at him: "Now is not the time to talk about this, go and get the news."

Linghu Chong nodded heavily and walked away quickly.

After watching him disappear among the woods, Huang Sixi turned around to see Master Fangzheng, asked Lan Fenghuang to get the Sanskrit version of the Diamond Sutra, and then took off the Buddhist beads on his wrist and handed them to Master Fangzheng.

Master Fang Zheng's eyes lit up. He had studied the Diamond Sutra for many years, but the versions he had read were all Chinese translations, and many of the contents were difficult to understand. He had longed to see the original Sanskrit sutra.

However, with the enemy at hand, he had little interest in reading the scriptures. But when Huang Sixi personally delivered the scriptures to him, he still expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for your generous gift, Mr. Huang. I really don't know how to repay you."

Huang Sixi said, "I have obtained this sutra, but it is of no use to me. Since I am in Shaolin now, I will let it return to Buddhism. Master, you don't have to take it to heart. However, this Buddhist bead has a lot of history. I would like to study it for some more time. Please allow me to do so."

There was naturally no reason for Master Fang Zheng to refuse.

He was just curious about what Huang Sixi's intention was in giving him such a precious Buddhist item.

There are more than just Shaolin Temples in the world. If Huang Sixi wanted to deepen his friendship with Shaolin, there was no need to send scriptures at this critical juncture. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't get to the point, so he didn't pursue it any further and only thought about how to repay this favor.
