Ning Chen drew his sword, its ancient blade radiating a sharp, gleaming light.
Just one glance at it makes your skin sting.
"You... chicken liver... cornmeal rolls..."
Abbess Miejue's face was swollen and her speech was slurred.
He wanted to say, "How dare you steal my Heaven-Slaying Sword!" but what came out in the end was a strange, muffled murmur.
"Brother Ning Chen is not a demon!"
Zhao Ling'er raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a cold voice,
"You Shaolin monks are blind and ignorant; you are the culprits, the source of all this trouble!"
For a moment, the room fell silent.
P.S.: There's one more chapter, coming a little later.
Chapter 98 Ling'er is angry! Sword energy surges! Slaying three divine monks!
Shaolin is the real culprit!
As soon as Zhao Ling'er said this, the room fell silent.
Kong Zhi's triangular eyes fell on Zhao Ling'er.
"This female benefactor is truly turning black into white!"
Those who fight for the Dragon-Slaying Saber in the martial world, stirring up a storm of bloodshed—
"He's Xie Xun, one of the Four Great Protectors of the Ming Cult! What does he have to do with my Shaolin Sect?!"
He was furious and even wanted to teach the girl a lesson.
But after witnessing Ning Chen's incredibly bizarre methods,
He decided to reason with the woman first and discuss who was right and who was wrong!
"Of course it concerns you."
Zhao Ling'er questioned, "Do you know who Xie Xun's master is?"
Kongzhi and Kongwen exchanged a glance, then slowly shook their heads.
"I don't know, but he must be a wicked person."
"Xie Xun's master was Cheng Kun."
"Cheng Kun? That 'Mixed Yuan Thunderbolt Hand' Cheng Kun from the martial arts world?"
"That's right, it's him. Both Master Zhang and I have heard him talk about it."
He had a past relationship with the wife of the leader of the Ming Cult.
In order to take revenge on the Ming Cult, he deliberately took Xie Xun as his disciple and taught him martial arts.
When the time was right, he directly destroyed Xie Xun's happy family.
He defiled his wife, killed his parents, and even threw his son to his death...
This completely drove Xie Xun into hatred.
Cheng Kun then went into hiding in the martial world. Xie Xun committed various murders in order to force him to reveal himself, making countless enemies for the Ming Cult and himself.
At the same time, it also accelerated the progress of the Chengdu-Kunming Railway project.
The three old monks looked at each other in bewilderment.
Clearly, no one expected that Xie Xun, this murderous fiend, would have such a hidden past.
And all of this was actually planned by Cheng Kun.
This person, as the mastermind behind everything, has turned the martial arts world upside down; he is truly the worst of the worst.
"Even so, that is the bitter fruit of the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand technique. What does it have to do with our Shaolin Temple?"
Zhao Ling'er shook her head and said, "No, Cheng Kun was hiding in Shaolin Temple, and he had been lying low for many years. He was only killed by Master Zhang not long ago."
The three monks looked horrified. They suddenly thought of an absurd but most likely scenario.
"That's right, Cheng Kun is Yuan Zhen."
He went to great lengths to infiltrate the Shaolin Temple and even became a disciple of the monk Kongjian.
Later, he even instigated the monk Kongjian to try and reform Xie Xun, and the result... you all know.
He successfully incited hatred between your Shaolin Temple, Xie Xun, and the Ming Cult.
Even though he is now dead, you are still following his plans.
To track down Xie Xun's whereabouts and eradicate the Ming Cult's branches throughout the Central Plains.
Kong Wen's expression shifted between light and dark as he whispered to his two junior brothers.
"Now tell me, isn't the chaos in the martial world inextricably linked to your Shaolin Temple?"
Kongxing glared angrily and snorted coldly:
"Even if what you say is true, we were just being used. What crime have we committed?"
Kongzhi, looking unconvinced, lowered his eyelids and said:
"Don't fall for this witch's tricks! This is just her side of the story."
Now that Yuanzhen has died at the hands of Master Zhang, there is no way to verify the truth.
She could then freely throw dirty water at Yuanzhen.
Kong Wen clasped his hands together and said expressionlessly:
"Why would a female benefactor frame my Shaolin Temple? Yuanzhen is my senior brother's prized disciple."
Yuanzhen, a disciple of the master, was well-versed in Buddhism and Taoism. He spent his entire life in seclusion at Bodhi Monastery, practicing meditation and studying pharmacology.
He has never stepped out of the temple gate, so how could he be the wicked Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand?
On behalf of the entire Shaolin Temple, this old monk vouches for Yuanzhen, my nephew, who is compassionate and absolutely not Cheng Kun!
His words were forceful and clear, and the crowd obviously trusted him more as the abbot of Shaolin Temple.
Zhao Ling'er was momentarily speechless, and felt a little angry.
"I think you're all senile!"
She has explained things very clearly, with every detail and inside story meticulously crafted, making it impossible for her to lie.
Zhang Sanfeng let out a cold laugh.
“Miss Zhao, that’s enough. These three monks are clear-headed and not confused at all.”
The three old monks knew, of course, that not a single word Zhao Ling'er said was false.
However, if this is acknowledged,
Shaolin Temple's reputation in the martial arts world has been utterly tarnished.
His reputation in the martial arts world plummeted, and he even fell into a state of being condemned by everyone and facing irrecoverable ruin.
Therefore, they absolutely cannot admit to this.
“Master Zhang, let’s put Xie Xun’s matter aside for now.”
Zhang Cuishan slaughtered the Longmen Escort Agency, and the sorcerer in front of you, burned the Kunlun Sect Leader He to death, and stole the Emei Sect's Heaven-Slaying Sword...
These are undeniable facts, aren't they?
Kongwen directly changed the subject.
If they continue to dwell on Xie Xun's issue, the situation will be unfavorable for Shaolin Temple.
Perhaps in the end, Shaolin Temple will really become the object of everyone's suspicion.
"You really massacred the Longmen Escort Agency?"
Zhao Ling'er looked at Zhang Cuishan and asked.
"Young lady, I, Zhang Cuishan, swear to the heavens that the massacre of the Longmen Escort Agency has absolutely nothing to do with me, much less with Wudang!"
Zhang Cuishan immediately raised his hand and swore an oath to the heavens.
"How can someone who is blinded by lust and colludes with the vixen of the demonic sect make a vow?"
Huashan Sect Leader Xianyu Tong said with a disdainful look.
However, the next moment, his head detached from his neck and shot into the sky.
Blood sprayed out like a pillar, even higher than the top of the Taiji Hall.
The headless corpse fell to the ground with a thud, and the crowd was filled with horror.
Ning Chen looked at Kong Wen with a mocking smile and said slowly:
"Then let me explain the reason to you."
At that time, Yu Daiyan obtained the Dragon-Slaying Saber and wanted to return it to Wudang.
