The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 104: Facing Ren Woxing Again

The sky is eternally blue and the sun is as dazzling as ever.

In the Shaolin Temple of Songshan on the ground, hundreds of figures were fighting fiercely, with powerful energy flying across the sky and whistling sounds continuously. Whether it was fist and palm martial arts or weapon changes, each and every one of them displayed amazing skills!
"Amitabha! Donors, please stop!"

A loud Buddhist chant came from the temple, like the sound of a huge bell, echoing for miles around.

The righteous martial artists in the fierce battle heard the Buddhist chant and someone exclaimed in surprise: "Is this the voice of Master Fang Zheng?!"

After a moment, another overbearing voice rose to the sky: "Elders, stop for now!"

When the Demon Sect master heard the voice behind him, he immediately responded loudly: "Yes! Leader!"

The two sides in the fierce fight quickly separated, maintained a confrontation posture, and were on guard against each other.

"Let's go in!"

Zuo Lengchan was the first to leap up and pounce towards the temple wall; the others followed.

The masters of the Demon Cult also leaped up one after another and jumped into the temple from another direction.

Xu Xingchen followed the crowd and entered the front yard of Shaolin Temple. He could see everything going on inside clearly.

The main hall is majestic, the front yard is spacious, the ground is paved with neatly sized bluestone slabs, and a waist-high bronze incense burner stands on the spot.

In the square, two groups confronted each other!
One group was composed of monks wearing yellow robes, each of them had a sturdy build and a concentrated spirit. They held copper sticks in their hands and formed two formations of eighteen copper men.

In front of this group of monks, there were several big monks standing in a row. The old monk in the middle was short in stature, with kind eyes and a red cassock on his body. He was none other than the abbot of Shaolin Temple of this generation, Master Fangzheng.

The other group of people were wearing black robes with yellow belts around their waists. There were about 20 to 30 of them. Each of them had an extraordinary aura and bright eyes.

In front of them, there was an old man with half white hair and beard. He looked as mighty as Xiang Wentian, the King of Heaven, but more calm and domineering than Xiang Wentian. He should be Ren Woxing, the leader of the Sun Moon Sect.

Xu Xingchen and the others looked over the two Eighteen Bronze Men formations at the Shaolin Temple and saw that the thirty-six monks were all very smart and full of energy. They were clearly first-rate masters like the "Thirteen Guardians of Songshan Mountain". They were secretly surprised: "Shaolin Temple is indeed worthy of being the Taishan Beidou in the martial arts world. Its profound heritage is simply unimaginable."

He turned his head and looked towards the Demon Sect, and couldn't help but sigh again. There are so many masters in the Demon Sect.
Xu Xingchen glanced at everyone and thought to himself, "There should be half of the masters in the martial arts world here, right?!"

"If a life-and-death fight were to occur, I don't know how tragic it would be."

Suddenly, his brows jumped slightly, and he looked up at the sky above the tiled roof of the hall. Seeing that it was empty, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes!
The group came to Master Fang Zheng and greeted him one after another. Even Xu Xingchen, led by Yue Buqun, bowed to Master Fang Zheng.

Master Fang Zheng returned the greetings one by one, and finally put his palms together, chanted "Amitabha", and said gratefully: "Thank you all for coming to help us, our Shaolin Temple is grateful!"

"Master Fang Zheng, this concerns the safety of the righteous martial arts community, how can we not come?!"

Zuo Lengchan responded to Master Fang Zheng's gratitude, then turned to look at the overbearing old man on the other side and said loudly: "Master Ren, long time no see. I heard that you were ambushed by Dongfang Bubai and almost died."

"Now you are stirring up trouble in the martial arts world again, and you are even targeting Shaolin Temple. Do you really think that we, the righteous martial arts people, are easy to bully?"

Ren Woxing also glanced at the group of righteous people who came to help. He saw some familiar faces. Only the two young men, Linghu Chong and Xu Xingchen, made his gaze linger for a moment. He thought, "Who are these two young men? Why are they qualified to come with these old guys?"

Hearing Zuo Lengchan's words, Ren Woxing looked over and sneered, "Zuo Lengchan, what you said is nonsense. Since this leader dares to stir up trouble in the martial arts world, why can't he stir up trouble in Shaolin Temple?"

Then, he said to Master Fang Zheng, "Fang Zheng, I advise you to hand over the Yi Jin Jing obediently, otherwise, thousands of people in your temple will die because of you!"

Master Fang Zheng said: "Master Ren, even though you have captured all the disciples of my Shaolin Temple, you cannot ask me to hand over the Yi Jin Jing just like that."

"The consequences of Master Ren's Star Absorbing Art, which messes up his internal energy, can only be resolved by our temple's Yi Jin Jing. But if you learn the Yi Jin Jing and resolve the consequences of the art, the world will fall into greater chaos because of you, and more people will die because of you. Our Shaolin Temple cannot afford such consequences!"

Master Fang Zheng's words were not only a reaffirmation of his determination to Ren Woxing, but also a description of the current situation to the people from the Five Mountains Sword Sect who had just come to his aid.

Xu Xingchen and others then noticed that the entire temple, except for this place, was too quiet everywhere else.

At this time, it was almost noon, but there was no smoke rising from the backyard.
"Could it be that all the disciples and cleaners of the Shaolin Temple were captured by the demon sect?"

"Only these masters are left, still in confrontation." "This move of the Demon Cult is really insidious."

"Master Fang Zheng's words are so convincing. Could it be that Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Technique really has consequences?"

The righteous martial artists finally understood Ren Woxing's real intention of besieging Shaolin Temple, and they were all half-believing and half-doubting.

Zuo Lengchan pondered for a moment, then suddenly glanced at Xu Xingchen beside Yue Buqun, sneered twice, and waited until Master Fangzheng and Ren Woxing both looked at him before he spoke: "Ren Woxing, your Star Absorbing Art has consequences, why don't you ask my nephew Xu from Huashan Sect? Rumor has it that my nephew Xu has also practiced the Star Absorbing Art. Perhaps he has found a way to solve the consequences of the Star Absorbing Art!"

When Xu Xingchen felt Zuo Lengchan glance at him, he felt a bad feeling in his heart. As expected, Zuo Lengchan actually brought up the rumor again in front of Ren Woxing. It was definitely intentional.

“Senior Brother Zuo, you’ve gone too far!” Yue Buqun’s eyes flashed with anger. “You’ve fought with my disciples in person before, and you should have detected that my disciples have not practiced the Star Absorbing Technique. The fellow martial artists who came with us all know this.”

"At this point, you bring up those rumors again. What's your intention?"

Master Dingyi could no longer bear it and raised her eyebrows and said, "Brother Zuo, the rumor has been clarified. You mentioned this matter in front of the Demon Sect. Do you really want our Five Mountains Sword Sect to lose face?"

Other martial artists also frowned and looked at Zuo Lengchan, muttering in their hearts: "How can this man, who is so selfish, be able to become the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect?"

Some people thought: "The Demon Cult once said that Zuo Lengchan was extremely ambitious and wanted to annex the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Now it seems to be true!"

Regardless of what other people were thinking, Zuo Lengchan still had a cold face and said calmly: "Who said that I detected it at that time? When did I ever say such a thing?"

At this point, he snorted coldly and glanced at everyone: "At that time, before this leader could force Junior Brother Xu to use the Star Absorbing Technique, someone from Shaolin came to ask for help, so we had to stop the test."

"In fact, after these few days of traveling, my suspicion of Junior Brother Xu has not only not eased, but has become more serious."

"Junior Brother Xu's skills are as profound as those of us who have practiced hard for decades. At his age, have you ever heard of any other magical skills in the martial arts world that can do this, besides Master Ren's Star Absorbing Technique?!"

After Zuo Lengchan said this, everyone thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. So, they turned their suspicious eyes to the young man beside Yue Buqun.

In front of outsiders, Ning Zhongze rarely spoke, and he always let his senior brother Yue Buqun make the decisions. Now he couldn't help himself and said loudly: "This disciple of my senior brother is very intelligent and gifted. Whether it is practicing swordsmanship or internal strength, his progress is far better than that of ordinary people. How can't he have a deep cultivation?!"

Xu Xingchen looked at Zuo Lengchan with a stern look in his eyes. He thought to himself, "This man has repeatedly framed me. It seems that he still wants to destroy me. Moreover, he has never given up the dangerous idea of merging the Five Mountains Sword Sects."

"In that case, I'd better find an opportunity to send him off!"

".The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn!"

Just as Xu Xingchen made up his mind, Ren Woxing followed the gaze of Zuo Lengchan and others and found Xu Xingchen. He listened quietly for a while, and after he understood what was going on, his eyes flashed like lightning and he shouted like thunder: "Boy, get out and let this leader try your martial arts!"

It's no wonder that he is so sensitive. After he was released from underground in West Lake, he spent more than a year trying his best but failed to find out whether anyone in the sect had learned the "Star Absorbing Technique". He has been feeling resentful about it ever since!

The masked man who let him out was insidious and cunning, with sinister intentions. No one knew what he was planning.
As long as Ren Woxing can't find that person, the doubts in his heart will not be eliminated!
Now, hearing the news that someone finally mentioned the "Star-Absorbing Art", he became excited and immediately became interested in the Huashan disciple named "Xu Xingchen".

Xu Xingchen's thoughts turned around in his mind, and he soon figured out the truth. He couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself: "This world is really a circle. I was finally bumped into by Ren Woxing."

Ren Woxing shouted loudly, making everyone's eardrums buzz and their hearts tremble!
"Amitabha!"

A Buddhist chant soothed everyone's mood. Fang Zheng looked at Zuo Lengchan and Ren Woxing and said calmly, "Master Ren, Master Zuo, please don't act on impulse and vent your anger on the younger disciples!"

Zuo Lengchan snorted coldly and said no more.

Ren Woxing still didn't give up: "Don't worry, old monk, I'm just testing that kid's martial arts, I won't do anything to him!"

Yue Buqun had a gloomy look on his face, and was about to step forward to speak, but was stopped by his disciple's words.

"Master, I also want to try Master Ren's Star Absorbing Technique."
