I'm a villain in the movies and TV series "All Heavens".

Chapter 124 What a fine line! It's just tarnishing the reputation of Shaolin!

"Xuanci, do you remember those innocent souls you wrongfully killed before Yanmen Pass?"

Xiao Feng's sudden attack shocked Xuan Ci, causing his face to turn pale and a bitter feeling to rise in his heart.

Back then, believing Murong Bo's false report, he led more than twenty martial arts masters, including Wang Jiantong from the Beggars' Sect, to ambush the Liao people, Xiao Yuanshan and his family, who were visiting their in-laws. They killed Xiao Yuanshan's wife, who was also Xiao Feng's mother, and indirectly caused Xiao Yuanshan to jump off a cliff.

In that battle, only he, Wang Jiantong, Master Zhiguang, and Zhao Qiansun survived. Later, Abbot Xuanci learned the truth about Xiao Yuanshan's trip and believed that Xiao Yuanshan and his wife had died at his hands.

Overwhelmed with regret and utter despair, he sent Xiao Feng to Qiao Sanhuai and his wife to be raised by them before becoming a monk at Shaolin Temple.

Now that they see Xiao Feng coming to seek revenge, they clearly know the inside story.

Filled with remorse, it did not resist at all when it saw Xiao Feng's palm strike approaching. It had already made up its mind to let Xiao Feng kill it to atone for its crimes.

However, how could the Shaolin monks of the Xuan generation stand idly by and allow their abbot brother to be killed in public? They immediately stepped forward to stop Xiao Feng.

It must be said that Shaolin Temple truly deserves its position as the leading force in the martial arts world at this time. The martial arts prowess of these Xuan-generation monks is truly extraordinary, and for a time even Xiao Feng could not gain much of an advantage.

Could it be that the rescue of Xiao Feng was done very secretly, so that even the people who were suppressing Qiao Alliance were unaware of it?

Now that they saw Xiao Feng dare to openly show himself here, they were both astonished by his courage and overjoyed.

"What a vicious Khitan dog! With so many martial arts heroes here, how dare you come alone? Do you really think there's no one left in the Central Plains martial arts world?"

In the last battle at Juxian Manor, Xiao Feng gave the martial arts world of the Central Plains a unique and profound lesson.

If it weren't for Mo Fei's intervention, the martial arts heroes of the Central Plains would have lost all face that time.

The martial arts practitioners present at Shaolin Temple are several times stronger than those at Juxianzhuang. How could they not want to avenge the humiliation of their previous battle?

On the Qiao Alliance's side, several people rushed forward immediately. Among them, Zhao Qiansun and Granny Tan, who had been captured by Xiao Feng last time and whose reputations were ruined, were among the first to rush forward to help.

At this moment, Mo Fei was observing Ye Erniang, who was being held back and looked anxious and worried.

In her youth, Ye Erniang was a good girl, gentle, beautiful, dignified and virtuous.

When Ye Erniang's father fell seriously ill, Master Xuanci came to treat him and saved his life. Ye Erniang was both grateful and admiring of Xuanci. The poor girl had no way to repay him, so she gave herself to him. In the end, the two had a son named Xuzhu.

However, Xiao Yuanshan took the baby and hid it in Shaolin Temple, and Xiao Yuanshan left three bloody marks on each of the baby's cheeks.

In the end, he became obsessed with his son, stealing other people's babies to play with. After playing with them, he would kill them cruelly, just like ordinary people buying chickens, ducks, fish, and sheep at the market, picking out the best and fattest. This caused countless families to be broken and suffer a lifetime of sorrow.

When Mo Fei caught this woman last time, he originally intended to kill her on the spot, but considering the heinous crimes she had committed, killing her directly would be too lenient, so he kept her alive until today.

Although Xiao Feng was powerful, he was caught off guard and became somewhat flustered when surrounded by so many heroes.

In the midst of the fight, he looked at Xuan Ci, who stood on the steps in front of the palace with his eyes closed, and suddenly roared:

“Xuanci, you are the abbot of Shaolin, yet you do all sorts of despicable and filthy things behind the scenes.”

"Not only did you lead men to kill my parents at Yanmen Pass without cause back then, but you also secretly killed people multiple times to cover up the crimes and frame me. Let me ask you, were my adoptive father, adoptive mother and my mentor killed by you?"

Mo Fei, who was listening to Xiao Feng's questioning, almost burst out laughing. He had killed Xiao Yuanshan, that troublesome hero, so early, but Xuan Ci had taken the blame for both of them.

Xuan Ci, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, and retorted with a hint of anger:

“Benefactor Xiao, I admit that I mistakenly killed your parents because of slander, but the deaths of your adoptive parents and Master Xuanku were not my doing. Don’t tarnish the reputation of Shaolin here.”

Xuan Ci's life, from birth to death, can be considered upright and honorable, but Mo Fei's plan did not intend for him to have such an easy time.

He slowly walked out of the crowd, fanning himself with a folding fan, and said loudly with a hint of amusement, "What a fine line that tarnishes the reputation of your Shaolin Temple."

"Xuanci, as the abbot of Shaolin, you have an affair with a woman and fathered a child. Moreover, you have allowed Ye Erniang, with whom you had an affair, to commit all kinds of evil deeds in the martial arts world, stealing other people's children and wantonly killing them. I wonder if these things have unjustly wronged you, Master Xuanci?"

Mo Fei's words struck Xuan Ci like a thunderbolt, and also ignited the atmosphere in the room.

Everyone present was stunned by this bombshell, and they all scrutinized the pale-faced Xuan Ci and Ye Erniang.

"You're lying. Master Xuanci is a highly accomplished monk. How could he be related to a woman like me who has committed all sorts of evil deeds?"

Ye Erniang was deeply in love with Xuan Ci, and even now she refused to acknowledge their relationship, wanting to bear the consequences alone.

After hearing Ye Erniang's words, everyone began to doubt the truthfulness of Mo Fei's words. However, given Mo Fei's nature of always planning before acting, how could she be so easily persuaded to back down?

He was a man holding a trump card, so how could he leave such a loophole, allowing Ye Erniang to take the blame alone? He quickly walked up behind Xu Zhu and, to the latter's utter bewilderment, instantly tore open the back of his clothes, revealing the incense mark Ye Erniang had pierced on Xu Zhu's back when he was born.

"Back then, you and Xuanci had an affair in Ziyun Cave and this child was born. Do you still remember this incense mark on his back?"

Ye Erniang, who was about to argue, turned red-eyed when she saw the mark on Xu Zhu's back. She walked up to Xu Zhu in a daze and placed her hand on the back of the bewildered Xu Zhu.

After staring at Xu Zhu for a long time, she suddenly grabbed Xu Zhu's cheek and burst into loud sobs.

This cry revealed the joy of a mother who had found her son decades after he was lost, and it also revealed her anxiety about how she and Xuanci would cope with their situation afterward.

When Xuan Ci saw the incense mark on Xu Zhu's back and Ye Erniang's heartbroken expression, he confirmed Xu Zhu's identity.

His expression changed several times in an instant before he seemed to resign himself to his fate. He took off the kasaya that represented his identity as the abbot of Shaolin Temple and slowly walked to Ye Erniang and Xuzhu, who were crying bitterly, and knelt down to gently comfort them.

The poor boy Xu Zhu was overjoyed to suddenly learn that his parents were alive and well.

Although he was slow-witted, he could tell that his parents were in a very unfavorable situation, and he became extremely anxious.

When Xuan Ci saw Xu Zhu's flustered appearance, his heart suddenly ached. This child had been alone for many years, and this was the first time they recognized each other. As a father, how could Xuan Ci not feel heartbroken?

“Young Master Murong, Benefactor Xiao, I, Xuan Ci, as the abbot of Shaolin, have committed such a heinous crime that has brought shame upon Shaolin. Now, I can only atone for my sins by dying.”

"But this child is innocent. He has nothing to do with all the evil deeds. I beg you heroes to show mercy and spare his life."

When Ye Erniang saw Xuan Ci speak like this, she looked at him in astonishment. Seeing the deathly determination in Xuan Ci's eyes, she knew that things were beyond redemption.

She lay in Xuan Ci's arms with a look of regret, then glanced lovingly at Xu Zhu. She muttered "Why did it have to be like this?" as she swiftly drew a short knife and plunged it into her chest and abdomen.

“My child is innocent. I, Ye Erniang, will now commit suicide before all the heroes of the world, only begging you all to spare my child’s life.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than the woman, who was known for her wickedness and ranked second among the Four Evils, began to bleed from her mouth and abdomen and was on the verge of dying.

This scene left everyone present at a loss for what to do.

Mo Fei was extremely anxious at this moment. Ye Erniang was one thing, but Xuan Ci was one of the top combatants in Tianlong. His inner strength could not be wasted like this.

Seeing that Xuan Ci, upon witnessing Ye Erniang's death, intended to sever his own meridians as depicted in the drama, Mo Fei refused. Suddenly, he stepped forward, kicked away Xu Zhu, who was embracing Ye Erniang and weeping over her loss of virginity, and shouted:

"Xuanci, the heinous crimes you and Ye Erniang committed cannot be atoned by death alone."

The astonished Xuan Ci was at the moment when he was circulating his energy through his meridians. Could it be that this attack, which was completely illogical, was something he had not expected at all?

When Mo Fei pressed down on his head and the Beiming Divine Art suddenly activated, frantically absorbing his power, he had no time to resist.

The internal energy used to sever his meridians was instantly absorbed by Mo Fei. In just a moment, his decades of cultivation had all been turned into Mo Fei's resources.

Ye Erniang, who was not yet completely dead, saw that Mo Fei would not even let them die peacefully.

Her eyes widened instantly, and she tried to get up and fight Mo Fei to the death, but with her chest and abdomen pierced by a sharp blade, she had no strength left.

The movement of getting up intensified the bleeding in his chest and abdomen, and he was soon lifeless with his eyes wide open.

After Xuan Ci's internal energy was drained, his entire body was instantly exhausted, and he could hardly even get up.

Although the Shaolin monks were extremely ashamed after Xuanci confessed to his affair with Ye Erniang on the spot, they also felt a sense of pity for Xuanci's fate.

One of the more impatient older monks, of the Xuan generation, even rebuked him on the spot:

"Young Master Murong, as the saying goes, death is the greatest sin. Since my junior brother Xuanci is already willing to atone for his sins with his life, why are you still so relentless?"

Could it be that he was just looking for a reason to cause trouble for these Shaolin monks and force out the final boss, the Sweeper Monk, and this monk immediately came out to run into the line of fire? This made him overjoyed.

"Oh, Master, you mean that no matter how serious a person's crime is, or how many evil deeds they have committed, as long as they atone with their death in the end, their past crimes can be forgiven?"
