The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 186 Because I am strong, knowledgeable and intelligent
The sun was high in the sky and dry air was blowing in the wind.

Thousands of people at the foot of Guangmingding Mountain straightened their backs, stared at each other, and tried to overwhelm each other with momentum.

Facing the accusations of the Fiery Flag Bearer who was asking questions as if they were from an outsider, the White-browed Eagle King's eyes lit up, and he said bluntly without beating around the bush: "Today, our four Dharma Kings would like to ask the leader to ascend the Bright Summit and worship the Holy Fire to establish the orthodox status of our Ming Cult."

"Five brothers, are you willing to join us in this great cause and go up the mountain together?"

Xin Ran's face turned serious, and he said loudly: "Eagle King, you three Dharma Kings have nominated a leader without the consent of the brothers in the headquarters. This is simply absurd."

"Today, you still want the leader you elected to go up to the Bright Summit and worship the Holy Fire. This is even more ridiculous!"

Zhuang Zheng, the flag bearer of the Sharp Gold Banner, sneered: "Eagle King, Dragon King, Bat King, you three Dharma Kings cannot represent the Ming Cult, and don't even think about getting us to agree with the leader you chose."

Tang Yang, the flag bearer of the Flood Flag, shouted, "That's right, don't forget, we still have the Five Scattered Men and the Left and Right Envoys of Light in the Ming Cult, whose status is no less than your three Dharma Kings. You guys have been messing around outside, which has already caused great dissatisfaction among the brothers in the Cult, and today you even brought that kid to the Bright Summit as well."

"Why, are you trying to force us, the old brothers at the headquarters, to recognize that person?"

On the side of the Four Dharma Kings, Xie Xun had always kept a low profile and never spoke a word; the Purple-Robed Dragon King had never spoken to these people and was too lazy to speak.

The Green-winged Bat King had no scruples and shouted in a shrill voice: "You people, along with Yang Xiao, have been guarding the Bright Summit for so many years, watching the brothers from all over the world fighting and struggling, but you have done nothing."

"On the other hand, the leader we elected has written four great books, has millions of soldiers in his mind, and can plan and win battles thousands of miles away."

"In just two or three years, not only did they stabilize the situation of retreat, but they also posed a great threat to the Yuan court."

"Who in our Ming Cult can compare to such an unparalleled genius?"

"Can the five of you compare? Or can Yang Xiao compare?"

This blunt accusation immediately made the five flag bearers look ugly.

Xin Ran's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Bat King, stop talking nonsense here. Your words about writing four great books and establishing a hundred martial arts schools in March are all exaggerated propaganda. Do you really think we will believe it?"

Hearing this, the three thousand white-robed sect members and seventy-two masters were filled with indignation and anger. They deeply felt that the flag-bearer of the Fiery Flag had insulted the person they respected and admired the most.

Before this trip to the west, many of these people may have doubted whether the hundreds of martial arts in the Cangwu Pavilion were all created by the leader.
Until now, no one doubts it anymore!
How could those people who raised questions on the other side understand the great ability of the leader who is a scholar with profound knowledge and profound understanding of ancient and modern times? They actually dared to talk nonsense and disrespect the leader. They deserve to die!
However, they were not of high status and had no right to speak, so they could only glare at each other fiercely, ready to use the anger in their eyes to make the other party feel deeply guilty.

Yin Tianzheng laughed loudly and said coldly: "Five brothers, let me say something disrespectful. Our leader is not inferior to Yang in terms of martial arts or wisdom and strategy."

"Moreover, the four great treasures and the hundred martial arts were all written by the leader himself. We have witnessed it with our own eyes, and there is no exaggeration at all."

"How can such an outstanding figure who knows everything in the world not be the leader of our Ming Cult?!"

The five flag bearers frowned and understood the meaning of the White-browed Eagle King's words.

The words of White-browed Eagle King that "the leader they chose is as capable as Yang Dingtian" were just a cover-up out of concern for Yang's reputation; in fact, he himself believed that their leader's ability was superior to Yang Dingtian's.
They all knew that the White-browed Eagle King was a very arrogant person with a strong temper, and would not be easily convinced by others.

Otherwise, he would not have left in anger after Master Yang disappeared, unable to stand the power struggle in the sect.

Now, there is a person who has appeared who has convinced the White-browed Eagle King and who he truly praises. No matter how dissatisfied the five of them are in their hearts, they dare not underestimate him.

In fact, when they first heard that the White-browed Eagle King had nominated a young man to be the leader of the Ming Cult, they were angry, but they were also surprised and curious about the young man who could convince the White-browed Eagle King.

As the situation developed, two more Dharma Kings joined his army and led the faction to flourish.
They are not outsiders and have many channels to exchange information with the forces led by the three Dharma Kings. Therefore, they know much more than others.

As things developed and progressed one after another, the young leader became more and more important in their hearts, and at the same time, they secretly felt a lot of jealousy.

At this time, Wen Cangsong, the flag bearer of the Giant Wood Flag, suddenly said, "Eagle King, why don't you let us meet that person?"

The White-browed Eagle King glanced at the other party and nodded, saying, "Since we have come here, we will definitely let you meet the leader!"

The four Dharma Kings turned around, bowed to the chariot in the center of the team, and shouted in unison: "Please come, Master!"

The seventy-two masters in the inner circle of the team half-knelt on the ground at the same time, exhaled and shouted loudly: "Please welcome, Master!"

Then, three thousand white-robed followers half-knelt on the ground, circulated their internal energy, bowed their heads and roared, "Please respectfully invite the leader!"

Three consecutive shouts of "Please Master!" sounded like the roar of a dragon or a tiger, shaking the whole area.

The earth-shaking sound waves, along the undulating mountains, swirled and circled, and spread far to the top of Guangmingding.
The five elements flags, the five flag bearers, and the twenty or thirty masters behind them, in the face of this overwhelming momentum, actually felt a little suffocated and their faces changed drastically in horror.

"How could these people's martial arts skills be so..." "Their strength is so strong."

"It seems that we are no match for them."

Incredible thoughts flashed through the minds of the Five Elements Flag members, and then they were shocked to find that their preparations seemed to be insufficient.
Soon, their attention was attracted by the carriage surrounded by the white-clad followers.

There
The white gauze flew into the air, and a figure in white floated out from it.

One black and one white, two streams of light quietly appeared around him, circling and supporting the figure in white, with his feet three feet off the ground.

There was no help and no threads around.

The figure in white passed through the white-robed followers who were half-kneeling on the ground and floated in front of the four Dharma Kings.

The people of the Five Elements Flag could see clearly now that there was indeed no trick. The young man in front of them was floating naked in the air, leaving them stunned and filled with disbelief and disbelief.

The young man in front of him was wearing a white robe with flowing sleeves and a neatly combed white tall crown on his head. He had a handsome face and skin as white as jade. He held a long sword with a black sheath in his left hand and exuded a warm and jade-like aura.

There is no arrogant arrogance, no all-encompassing tyranny, and no release of overwhelmingly powerful momentum.

He is like a flower, a piece of jade, or a book, bringing people a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

"Please get up!"

As the gentle voice echoed in the air, the four Dharma Kings, the seventy-two masters, and the three thousand white-robed followers shouted in unison: "Thank you, Master!"

Then, he stood up and looked at the figure floating in the air with respect.

The Five Elements Flags looked at those worshipful and respectful eyes and gasped again in their hearts: "These people have such pious eyes."

The five flag bearers were also shocked. It was already jaw-dropping and incomprehensible that a person could float in the air, and he could also be sincerely supported, respected and revered by his subordinates. What means did this young man use to achieve this? !

For a moment, the eyes of the five flag bearers looking at Xu Xingchen changed again and again, and the prejudice and jealousy that had been piled up in their hearts disappeared by half without them noticing.

At the same time, they all had the same thought: "We cannot compare with such people."

With just one appearance, Xu Xingchen reduced the confrontational thoughts in the hearts of the five flag bearers.

Xu Xingchen looked at the five flag bearers calmly and said in a gentle voice, "Hello, everyone!"

A simple greeting finally brought the five flag bearers back to their senses. They quickly adjusted their facial expressions and became solemn again.

However, when they wanted to speak, they didn't know what to say, because they really didn't know how to address each other.

First, they would never call the young man in front of them "leader"; second, calling him "boy" is disrespectful; calling him "friend" is also inappropriate.
For a moment, they couldn't help but look at each other.

After a moment, Yan Yuan, the flag bearer of the Thick Earth Flag, acted as if he was not afraid of anything and said loudly, "Uh, sir, how did you manage to float in the air?"

Xu Xingchen nodded at him and said simply: "Martial arts!"

Wen Cangsong, the flag bearer of the Giant Wood Flag, asked curiously, "Can martial arts really be cultivated to this level?"

Xu Xingchen paused for a moment, then said: "I can, but you can't!"

"Uh"

Yan Yuan and Wen Cangsong were both speechless after Xu Xingchen's "frank confession".

At this time, Zhuang Zheng, the flag bearer of the Sharp Gold Banner, suddenly spoke up and asked in a cold voice: "Why do you think you are the leader of my Ming Cult?"

Xu Xingchen turned his head and glanced at him, then replied calmly: "Because I am powerful, knowledgeable, intelligent, and can lead the Ming Cult to expel the Tartars and restore our country!"

Hearing these unmodest and matter-of-fact words, Zhuang Zheng wanted to sneer and say "bullshit", but his eyes met the calm gaze of the young man floating in front of him. He opened his lips several times but couldn't say anything.

Xin Ran, the Fiery Flag Bearer, took a step forward, his eyes gleaming with a fierce fighting spirit, and clasped his fists and said, "Please, sir, teach me something!"
