Zongwu: Storytelling makes you stronger, and female knights compete to be maids

"The so-called law enforcement in the underworld is nothing more than a pretense of mystery."

"However, these people from Ghost Villa are extremely ruthless. Every time we capture them, they would rather commit suicide than reveal a single word."

“Therefore, the true identities behind them have not been ascertained to this day.”

Chapter 19: A Dead Silence

After these two people spoke one after another, the crowd in the hall became even more shaken.

As the most powerful security agency in the Ming Dynasty, the words of the spies of Hulong Villa are extremely convincing.

Especially when Duan Tianya mentioned that they had killed many people from Ghost Villa, it eased the fear in everyone's hearts.

To put it bluntly, what people really fear is not the messenger of the underworld, but the unknown.

Because we cannot understand, we are afraid.

If the people of Ghost Manor could also die, they would be no different from ordinary assassins.

……

The fifth box on the north side of the third floor.

Lu Xiaofeng stepped out, stood in front of the railing, and said loudly:

"I have never believed in ghosts and gods."

"But Mr. Su just said that Wudang Mu Daoist is the owner of Ghost Villa. Isn't that a bit too absolute?"

"Everyone knows that Mu Dao Ren is highly respected. Although he has outstanding martial arts skills, he has always been kind to others."

"He also mentioned many times that his 'chess skill comes first, drinking second, and swordsmanship third'."

"How could such a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune create an organization as cruel and evil as Ghost Manor?"

"Is there something else hidden in this?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall nodded in agreement.

No matter what, they found it hard to believe that Mu Dao Ren was the mastermind behind the incident.

But there are also some people who have long been convinced by Su Chen's amazing insight and believe in every word he says.

When Lu Xiaofeng questioned Su Chen, someone immediately stood up and refuted:

"Absolutely impossible! Mr. Su is well versed in the mysteries of heaven, how could he be wrong?"

"That's right! Since Su Chen believes that Mu Dao Ren is the owner of Ghost Villa, then he must be it!"

Someone else responded, and it seemed that they had become Su Chen's loyal believers.

"You can't judge a person by his appearance. We were all deceived by Mu Daoren's kind face. It was thanks to Mr. Su that he uncovered the truth."

Someone else sighed and spoke, also believing in Su Chen's statement.

"I'm afraid you all don't know, but Lu Xiaofeng and Mu Dao Ren are friends for life and death, so naturally I have to stand on his side and speak."

"Maybe he's also part of the Ghost Manor!"

In the hall, someone directly directed the conversation to Lu Xiaofeng.

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar. Everyone turned their eyes to Lu Xiaofeng, with doubt and even hostility in their eyes, waiting for his response.

In front of the railing on the third floor.

Lu Xiaofeng felt bitter. If he had known this would happen, he should not have interfered in this matter.

But for now I can only say:

"I am indeed a close friend of Mu Dao Ren. It is precisely because I know him well that I dare to vouch for him."

"But I swear to God that I know nothing about the Haunted Manor."

"If Taoist Mu is truly the owner of Ghost Villa, I will be the first to step forward and defeat him!"

"Please allow me to say a few more words."

"As everyone knows, Ghost Manor was once responsible for a major crime – the murder of Shi Yan, a highly respected elder of the Wudang Sect."

"And this Shi Yan is none other than the fellow disciple who practices with Mu Dao Ren and spends every day with him."

"Any knowledgeable Wudang disciple knows that Shi Yan and Mu Dao Ren have the closest relationship."

"Then let me ask you, if Mu Dao Ren is really the owner of Ghost Villa, how could he kill Shi Yan with his own hands?"

After hearing this, although everyone still had doubts in their hearts, they felt a little relieved.

Soon, everyone's attention was focused on Su Chen again, waiting to see how he would respond.

What Lu Xiaofeng said was not unreasonable.

Ghost Villa has been secretly causing chaos for many years, and Wudang has not been spared. The death of Elder Shi Yan is still heartbreaking.

If Mu Dao Ren really founded Ghost Manor, what was his motive? And why did he want to get rid of Shi Yan?

What is even more puzzling is how he managed to make those 'dead' who should have been dead serve him?

At this moment, the only person who can solve these mysteries is Su Chen.

On the white jade stage.

Yu Youwei noticed that the atmosphere in the field was becoming increasingly tense, and cold sweat broke out on his palms.

Every time Su Chen made a shocking statement, she couldn't help but worry, afraid that he would say something wrong or that he would fail.

However, Su Chen remained calm, even taking a sip of tea, before he slowly spoke:

"Mu Dao Ren established Ghost Villa for a reason."

"As for the detailed reasons, please allow me to explain."

"Everyone thinks that Mu Daoren is indifferent, not greedy for fame or wealth, and does not fight for power."

"actually not."

"This Taoist monk Mu is extremely ambitious and has always been vying for the position of Wudang Sect Leader."

"Back then, Wudang's founder, Zhang Sanfeng, devoted himself to martial arts cultivation. He decided to abdicate and retreat into seclusion, concentrating on studying for a higher realm."

"At that time, there were only two people who were most qualified to succeed the position of head."

"One is Wang Chonglou, who specializes in the Wudang's top internal martial arts, the Dahuangting. His profound internal strength is unmatched."

"The other one is Mu Dao Ren, who has mastered the Wudang sword technique to perfection. He is second only to Zhang Sanfeng in the Wudang sect."

"These two, one in charge of the interior and the other in charge of the exterior, each have their own strengths and are equally matched."

"According to Zhang Sanfeng's original plan, the position of the head was to be passed to Mu Dao Ren."

"If everything goes smoothly, the position of the head will definitely fall into his hands."

"It's a pity that Mu Dao Ren was too clever and ended up hurting himself."

"He saw that Zhang Sanfeng had lived a life of pure cultivation and no desires, so he thought that his master did not want his disciple to get married and have a family."

"But he was secretly in love with his cousin Shen Sanniang and had a daughter with her."

"He was worried that if this matter was exposed, Zhang Sanfeng would dislike him, so he voluntarily gave up the position of headmaster and gave it to Wang Chonglou."

"What's even more incredible is that he made an extremely absurd decision to cover up the truth."

"That is to betroth my cousin Shen Sanniang to my disciple Ye Lingfeng, pretending to have a marriage."

"However, he had no idea that after spending so much time with Ye Lingfeng, Shen Sanniang's relationship would turn into real love, and she would give birth to another daughter."

"Any man would find it difficult to bear such a blow, and Mu Dao Ren is no exception."

"After learning of this, Mu Daoren's personality changed drastically. He embarked on an evil path and murdered Ye Lingfeng with extremely cruel means."

"But he never thought that this matter would be leaked out and discovered by Shi Yan, whom he had always been close to."

"He was afraid that Shi Yan would reveal his secret, so he began to plot to get rid of Shi Yan."

"He used the alias Old Knife Boss and secretly founded Ghost Villa, gathering desperate criminals from all the major sects in the martial arts world."

"Such as Hai Qikuo, the one-armed dragon who terrorizes the seven seas, Zhong Wugu, a lay disciple of Wudang, Gu Yunfei, a disciple of Gu Daoren of Bashan, and the Five Arhats of Shaolin."

"These people are all charged with serious crimes and are being hunted by their respective sects. They can only feign death to conceal their tracks."

"Over time, Ghost Manor became a hiding place for these 'dead people'."

"Mu Dao Ren used their power to create many bloody massacres in the martial arts world, and finally succeeded in killing Shi Yan."

"But he never understood that Zhang Sanfeng didn't care at all whether the Wudang leader got married or not."

"Even Zhang Sanfeng himself had someone he loved, but because of his lack of affinity, he ended up lonely all his life."

"He also didn't realize that Wang Chonglou himself had no interest in the position of headmaster and was simply forced to take over."

"He didn't even know that Shi Yan never intended to make that past public."

"It can be said that he ended up in this situation entirely because of his own excessive suspicion and self-destructive behavior. He can't blame anyone else."

……

After everyone heard Su Chen's words, the entire hall fell into silence.

The truth is so!

If Su Chen hadn't said it, they would never have believed it.

Because all this is too bizarre and ridiculous!

Mu Dao Ren was like a clown from beginning to end. He had a good hand of cards, but he played them badly.

As one of the highest-ranking elders in the Wudang Sect, his swordsmanship is unrivaled in the world and he is deeply trusted by Zhang Sanfeng.

He could have sat comfortably on the position of the head of Wudang, married his cousin, and had a daughter.

Live a happy life that others envy.

But because of his troubles.

His wife had an affair with his own disciple and gave birth to a daughter.
