"Master! Master has emerged from seclusion!"
Mo Shenggu, the youngest of the Seven Heroes of Wudang, shouted excitedly.
When Zhang Sanfeng landed, Song Yuanqiao and the others knelt down in unison, "Greetings, Master!"
"Master, can you guess who has returned?"
Mo Shenggu asked with a smile.
"Ten years have passed, has Cuishan finally returned?" Zhang Sanfeng said with a smile.
"what?!"
Mo Shenggu was taken aback. "How did Master know that Fifth Senior Brother had returned?"
At this moment, Zhang Cuishan, dressed in a gray Taoist robe, rushed over, knelt down before Zhang Sanfeng, and cried out in anguish, "Master!"
Zhang Sanfeng's eyes were red, with a hint of tears in them.
"Cuishan! You've been missing for ten years, your whereabouts unknown. I've been so worried about you!"
"This disciple is unfilial! Moreover, I have committed a grave error and failed to inform my master..."
Zhang Cuishan's expression darkened, unsure of how to begin.
Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard and laughed.
"Getting married and having children is a natural human desire and a joyous occasion."
You've been trapped on Ice and Fire Island for ten years. Are you going to wait another ten years to ask your master before getting married?
"Master doesn't have such a pedantic disciple!"
Song Yuanqiao was stunned. How did his master know that his fifth brother had been stranded on Ice and Fire Island?
Even they only just found out about this; their master had been in seclusion for many days, yet his information network was just as advanced as theirs…
Zhang Cuishan sighed, lowered his head, seemingly unable to meet his master's gaze.
"But Susu, she..."
"So what if she's the daughter of the Sky Eagle Cult Leader?"
Zhang Sanfeng smiled and shook his head, saying gently...
"You married a wife, not the Eagle Cult."
Cuishan, one should not be narrow-minded. Never consider yourself a person of noble lineage and look down on others.
It's important to understand that the distinction between good and evil is inherently difficult!
A person of upright character who harbors wicked intentions is a villain; a villain who wholeheartedly pursues good is a virtuous person.
Zhang Cuishan nodded emphatically, tears streaming down his face silently.
Mo Shenggu was completely dumbfounded. He secretly glanced at his senior brother and saw that Song Yuanqiao and the others were also stunned.
Fifth Brother's wife is actually a member of the Sky Eagle Cult, and the daughter of the Sky Eagle Cult Leader!?
This is such a momentous event that it has shaken the heavens and earth, yet even the disciples themselves don't know about it. How could their master know?
Apart from the weeping Zhang Cuishan, the six heroes of Wudang all looked suspicious.
The master could know everything that happened in the world without ever leaving his house.
Could it be true, as the rumors in the martial arts world say, that Master has attained enlightenment?!
"Thank you for your understanding, Master, but aside from these, there may be other troubles this time..."
Zhang Cuishan said in a deep voice.
Zhang Sanfeng nodded slightly, "Is it the Golden-haired Lion King?"
"Cuishan, there's no need to worry. Since you and Xie Xun have become sworn brothers, betraying your sworn brother's whereabouts is unjust."
"what?!"
Song Yuanqiao exclaimed in surprise, "Become sworn brothers with the Golden-Haired Lion King? What are we going to do? The Golden-Haired Lion King has made countless enemies in the martial arts world..."
"Master, should we seal off the mountain gates and hide Fifth Brother's whereabouts?"
Yu Lianzhou said.
“Yes! As long as we announce to the outside world that Fifth Brother is still missing, even if they really know that Fifth Brother is on the mountain, it will not help.”
Yin Liting nodded and said.
Mo Shenggu pouted and said with dissatisfaction:
"Does Fifth Brother have to hide forever?"
The greatest principle in the martial arts world, in the end, is who has the stronger fist. They want the whereabouts of the Dragon-Slaying Saber, so let's fight!
Seeing that his fellow disciples each had their own version of events, but none of them asked him to betray his sworn brother, Zhang Cuishan was deeply moved.
Then, Zhang Cuishan belatedly realized what was happening and asked with a puzzled look:
"Master, how...how did you know Susu's identity, and...about Brother Xie and me..."
He had only recently returned to Wudang, and he had only told his six fellow disciples about his marriage and children on Icefire Island.
As for the rest, he wanted to inform his master before making any further plans.
But he couldn't understand it at all; how could his master know everything...?
"Not only do I know these things, but I also know that my grand-disciple Zhang Wuji was kidnapped by Hebi Weng and is now in the hands of the Prince of Ruyang of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty."
"Master...you even knew about this?!"
Zhang Cuishan was astonished; his master knew far too much.
Could it be that Master has perfected Tai Chi and attained profound understanding of martial arts, thus becoming an all-knowing and all-powerful immortal?
Seeing the excitement on his disciples' faces, Zhang Sanfeng immediately understood their thoughts and laughed heartily:
"Don't overthink it. I've only heard from a wise man that he has revealed some secrets of the past and future."
That master is a true immortal; I am far inferior to him, and I admire him greatly.
Real immortals?
The fact that his master could inspire such respect made the six heroes of Wudang yearn to meet him, hoping that one day they would have the honor of meeting him.
[Detection indicates that you and the Wudang Sect are facing imminent annihilation. You may issue a special mission to summon group members to defend Wudang. Issue the mission? Yes/No]
[Note 1: The task involves three people, randomly selected.]
[Note 2: Posts can be published at any time within the twelve-hour period; posts published after the expiration date will be invalid.]
Seeing the sudden notification, Zhang Sanfeng felt a chill run down his spine.
"It seems that this centennial celebration will be fraught with undercurrents, and there is even a risk of the entire family being wiped out."
"Amitabha! You've actually managed to select three people from the chat group to help this humble Taoist resolve this crisis..."
"May the True Martial Emperor protect me, and please, please don't draw Xiong Ba or Jin Lun..."
Zhang Sanfeng thought to himself.
Two people who can't even catch a sheep would probably only make things worse if they came to Wudang.
……
Shaolin and Wudang are the two pillars of the Yitian world.
Now, under the leadership of Shaolin, there are many other major sects such as Kongtong Sect, Huashan Sect, Emei Sect, and Kunlun Sect.
There are also some once-glorious sects, such as the Beggars' Sect, the Iron Palm Clan, and the Quanzhen Sect...
There are also some lesser-known sects, including the Sea Sand Sect, the Giant Whale Gang, the Divine Fist Sect, the Vajra Sect, the Qinghai Sect, and so on.
Nearly a hundred sects, large and small, marched in a grand procession to Wudang Mountain.
Despite their claims that they came to Wudang to celebrate Master Zhang's birthday.
Each of them carried a sword or knife on their back, and their eyes revealed greed and urgency.
The gifts offered were nothing more than small items bought from the market at the foot of the mountain, showing no sincerity whatsoever.
As the leader, Shaolin Temple has deployed its elite forces this time.
The Four Great Monks – Kongjian, Kongwen, Kongzhi, and Kongxing.
Apart from Kongjian, who had already passed away, the other three monks all went to Wudang.
Abbess Miejue of the Emei Sect, wielding the Heaven-Slaying Sword, also came with great force.
The Five Elders of Kongtong, who were masters of the Seven Injury Fist; Xianyu Tong, the head of the Huashan Sect; He Taichong, the head of the Kunlun Sect…
The third-generation disciples of the Wudang Sect couldn't help but feel somewhat worried.
These are all big names in the martial arts world, and their arrival on the mountain seems to indicate that it's not just a simple birthday celebration.
Although Zhang Zhenren, the founder of Wudang, was virtually unrivaled in the world, even he was probably no match for four hands.
Moreover, the opposing team had more than four members; there were simply too many of them...
The square in front of the Taiji Hall is now filled with masters from various martial arts sects.
