Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 179 The Slovenly Taoist Zhang Sanfeng

Wudang Mountain.

On this world-renowned mountain sits a sect that the entire martial arts world looks up to.

Wudang Sect!
The Taoist sect founded by Zhang Zhenren, the number one person in the world!
Although the Wudang sect was founded relatively recently, far less so than the Shaolin Temple, no one dared to underestimate it.

That's because of Master Zhang, this old Taoist who dominated the martial arts world for sixty years. His martial arts skills were unparalleled, and all martial arts practitioners in the world respected him.

Yu Daiyan lay on a soft chair. Years ago, he was injured by someone using the Vajra Finger technique, which severed the meridians in his limbs, leaving him paralyzed for many years.

Unable to participate in the siege of Bright Peak, Yu Daiyan remained on Mount Wudang to manage sect affairs.

“Uncle Yu, the Demonic Sect has captured the six major sects and is threatening us with money in exchange. How can we bow down to such behavior?”

"Why not invite our patriarch to descend the mountain, suppress and kill that demonic sect leader, and save the six major sects?"

A Wudang disciple, his face filled with resentment, spoke to Yu Daiyan.

Yu Daiyan shook his head slightly, refusing the disciple's request.

"Why? Uncle-Master Yu, are we just going to let the Demonic Sect continue its rampage?! Are we just going to let Uncle-Master Song and the others suffer at Bright Peak?!"

The disciple was extremely puzzled and couldn't understand why Yu Daiyan would refuse so directly.

The Seven Heroes of Wudang were as close as brothers, so Yu Daiyan should have been anxious to save them. Why was he so calm?

"You go down."

Yu Daiyan offered no explanation and dismissed the disciple.

The disciple looked puzzled, but Yu Daiyan had already told him to leave, so he could only leave angrily.

The reason why Yu Daiyan was so calm was that he had received a letter from Song Yuanqiao.

They were already aware of the situation of the Seven Heroes of Wudang and others on Bright Peak.

There is absolutely no danger.

Song Yuanqiao even mentioned in his letters the need to unite with the Ming Cult to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.

This matter is of utmost importance; he cannot make a decision on it without informing his master.

But his master had been in seclusion for many days, so even he couldn't disturb him.

These days, Yu Daiyan has been waiting for Zhang Sanfeng to emerge from seclusion.

"I never expected that my nephew Wuji would still be alive, and that he would have such formidable strength. This kid truly lives up to his fifth brother's reputation as his son."

Yu Daiyan also saw information about Zhang Wuji in the letter, which made him extremely happy.

Yu Daiyan also felt sorry for his fifth brother's son.

Having suffered from cold poison since childhood, it is truly remarkable that I have survived to this day.

What's more, he also possesses extraordinary skills.

"What has made you so happy, Daiyan?"

At this moment, an old figure suddenly appeared. He was wearing a Taoist robe, but it looked rather sloppy, as if he didn't care much about his appearance.

"Master!"

"Ancestor!"

Yu Daiyan was overjoyed, and his disciples all paid their respects.

Zhang Sanfeng looked at Yu Daiyan's smile with a gentle smile. Over the years, he had rarely seen such a joyful expression on this disciple's face.

He stepped forward, checked on Yu Daiyan's condition, and frowned slightly. Even though he was a master of martial arts, he couldn't save his disciple.

It's a pity he's not skilled in medicine.

"Master, it's like this, my eldest brother has sent a letter..."

Yu Daiyan didn't care about his situation. After so many years, he had accepted it.

Instead, it tells the story of Song Yuanqiao's letters.

"Good! Good! It's good that he's alive!" Zhang Sanfeng was overjoyed to hear the good news that Zhang Wuji was still alive.

He felt guilty for not being able to save the child back then. As Zhang Cuishan's master, he had failed to save both his disciple and his disciple's son.

Over the years, Zhang Sanfeng had never forgotten, but he kept these feelings buried deep in his heart, feeling guilty day and night. Now, upon learning that Zhang Wuji was still alive and well, Zhang Sanfeng breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that the child was so lucky.

"Master, my eldest brother has proposed to join forces with the Ming Cult to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. What do you think?" Yu Daiyan got down to business.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng pondered for a moment but did not immediately make a decision. Instead, he asked, "Who is the leader of the Ming Cult?"

He was somewhat curious about Xu Qing; whether this person was trustworthy remained to be seen.

"In his letter, the eldest brother said that Master Xu is a man with great ambitions, who intends to expel the Tartars, recover the Central Plains, and rebuild the Han people's world!"

Even the eldest brother didn't know much about his character, but Wuji said that Master Xu treated him very well and taught him a lot of martial arts and principles of life.

This disciple believes that Master Xu is a decent person, and must be a great hero!

Yu Daiyan pondered for a moment before offering his assessment.

Zhang Sanfeng nodded slightly. His eldest disciple was good at judging people, and Wuji had also learned that Xu Qing was a decent person, since Wuji had become Xu Qing's disciple.

Moreover, that person's martial arts skills were extremely powerful, reaching the level of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm.

All signs indicate that Master Xu is indeed a person worth befriending.

"I agree to the alliance with the Ming Cult," Zhang Sanfeng decided.

The Yuan Dynasty was tyrannical and cruel, and the Han people had no status whatsoever. Ordinary people were treated like pigs and dogs in the eyes of the Yuan Dynasty, and had no human dignity whatsoever.

Zhang Sanfeng was naturally extremely displeased with such a dynasty.

Seeing that his master had made a decision, Yu Daiyan instructed the disciples to make preparations.

"Master, there is one more thing. Apart from our sect, the people from the other five major sects have all been captured by the Ming Cult."

However, the five major sects were unwilling to exchange money for it; instead, they wanted you and the Shaolin monks to descend the mountain and kill Master Xu.

"Do you think the three Shaolin monks might personally descend the mountain and go to Bright Peak to deal with that Master Xu?" Yu Daiyan was somewhat worried about this.

The Wudang Sect naturally wouldn't go after the Ming Cult, since the Ming Cult had been friendly to them and hadn't harmed Song Yuanqiao and the others, plus they had Zhang Wuji's connection to them.

The two factions should be as close as one family.

But Shaolin Temple is different. This time, the abbot and two eminent monks of Shaolin Temple were captured, which is a great loss of face.

Moreover, Shaolin Temple has always been assertive and has never bowed to any other sect.

Moreover, given the threatening actions of the Ming Cult, Yu Daiyan felt that the three old monsters in Shaolin Temple were very likely to personally intervene.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng's deep eyes flickered slightly. As a former Shaolin disciple, he naturally understood the Shaolin Temple's ways.

It was precisely because he understood this that he knew there was a high probability that what his disciple was worried about would happen.

"Keep a close eye on the movements of the Shaolin Sect. If the Three Monks of the Three Crossings are going down the mountain, I will also go there myself and take the opportunity to meet that Master Xu."

Zhang Sanfeng said.

Although he had never fought against the three Shaolin monks, these three monks were of extremely high seniority, having been masters at the Innate Grandmaster level long before him.

Each of them was extraordinary. It is said that the monk Du'e, one of the three monks, had fought against Yang Dingtian, the leader of the Ming Cult, decades ago.

Although he was defeated by Yang Dingtian and lost an eye.

However, Yang Dingtian also suffered serious injuries in that battle, and he barely won.

Yang Dingtian's strength is well-known throughout the martial arts world. He is a master at the level of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm and is known as the number one person in the Demonic Path.

Although Du'e was defeated, he did not die, which also demonstrates Du'e's prowess.

Moreover, the three monks later mastered a terrifying array formation, and for decades, the three of them have never been separated, maintaining perfect harmony.

If they were to descend the mountain, the three monks would have to go together.

Even dealing with one of the Three Elders would be difficult for Master Xu; if all three descended the mountain together, no one in the Ming Cult would be able to stop them.

Since Zhang Sanfeng had decided to unite with the Ming Cult to resist the Yuan Dynasty, he naturally could not sit idly by.
