Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 182 A Discussion Among the Group, Wudang's Assistance

Inside the magnificent council hall atop Bright Peak, at the headquarters of the Ming Cult.

Wei Yixiao summoned the White-Browed Eagle King, the Five Wanderers, Zhang Wuji, and others to this main hall, while the Seven Heroes of Wudang also came with Wuji.

Wei Yixiao informed everyone that the monk Sandu was about to arrive in person to challenge Xu Qing.

"I never expected that the monk Sandu, who hasn't made a move in years, would choose to come down the mountain at this time!"

The White-browed Eagle King's snow-white eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot, and his expression was extremely solemn.

"Those three old geezers are still alive after all these years!"

"Those three old turtles, they're incredibly resilient!"

"Hmph, these three old geezers, do they want to completely wipe out our Ming Cult?!"

The Five Wanderers couldn't help but curse, for the existence of the Three Elders made everyone extremely wary.

These three had not roamed the martial world for decades, and everyone thought that these three old guys were nearing the end of their lives.

Unexpectedly, the three monks were not like that at all; on the contrary, they were living very well.

"Just who is that monk Sandu? Why are you all so wary of him?!"

Zhang Wuji asked out of curiosity, as he was the least experienced and knew the least about the affairs of the martial arts world.

Furthermore, they had never heard of the Three Monks of Shaolin Temple.

"Wuji, it's normal that you don't know these three people. The Three Monks are the true foundation of Shaolin Temple."

Du'e, Du'jie, and Du'nan can be considered the most senior grandmasters in the martial arts world today.

Song Yuanqiao spoke up; as the leader of the Wudang Sect, he had a deeper understanding of the Shaolin Temple.

"These three are incredibly strong. If they join forces, even our master might find it difficult to defeat them."

Zhang Songxi said that their master, Zhang Sanfeng, was recognized by the martial arts world as the number one righteous person.

However, the combined strength of the three Shaolin monks is something that no single person could withstand.

Moreover, given the Shaolin Temple's heritage, the three of them must also possess a combined method to subdue demons, making their strength even more terrifying.

Therefore, when the three eminent monks descended together, no one in the world could withstand them on their own.

"Indeed, although I dislike those bald monks, I have to admit that the strength of the Three Elders of Shaolin is extremely terrifying."

Moreover, when Yang was in power, he had a battle with Du'e, the leader of the Three Elders of Shaolin, and they formed a considerable grudge.

This time, there's a real possibility that the three monks might also be considering descending the mountain for revenge!

The White-browed Eagle King's voice was deep, and his sharp, eagle-like eyes gleamed as he spoke of some of his speculations.

"In that case, wouldn't Master have a hard time defeating the combined forces of those three monks?!"

Zhang Wuji's expression also turned serious. It wasn't that he lacked confidence in his master.

However, this time the enemy was the Three Monks, who had been famous for many years, each of whom was a master-level expert on the same level as his master.

At that level, it is extremely difficult to fight against multiple opponents.

Moreover, the Shaolin Temple's heritage is also quite good.

The strength of these three monks was something even his elders greatly feared, and it seemed that even his great-grandmaster might not be able to defeat the three of them together.

"With the sect leader's strength, dealing with one of the three monks should not be a problem. In fact, I speculate that the sect leader may be able to handle two of the three monks, which is not impossible."

However, with three grandmasters attacking simultaneously, the pressure on the sect leader was immense.

The White-browed Eagle King said that this was his estimate of Xu Qing's combat strength, and this estimate was an overestimation by the White-browed Eagle King.

"So, does that mean if we had just one more Grandmaster-level expert on our side, we'd be able to deal with that Three Monks?!"

Zhang Wuji's eyes narrowed as he looked at the White-browed Eagle King.

“That’s correct in theory.” The White-browed Eagle King nodded.

"But where can we find another master-level expert to help us?"

Wei Yixiao felt somewhat distressed. The Ming Cult lacked such resources and friends. "Gentlemen, there's no need to worry too much. I will send a message to Wudang, asking my master to come down the mountain. With this, joining forces with Leader Xu, we can surely stop the Three Elders of Shaolin!"

At this moment, Song Yuanqiao made a decision and spoke.

White-browed Eagle King, Wei Yixiao, and the Five Wanderers were all shocked, never expecting Song Yuanqiao to help the Ming Cult in such a way.

"Gentlemen, since our Wudang Sect has decided to fight against the Yuan Dynasty together with the Ming Cult, we certainly cannot sit idly by and do nothing about this matter," Song Yuanqiao said solemnly.

"Brother Song, your righteousness is truly admirable!"

White-browed Eagle King, Wei Yixiao, and others were deeply moved and repeatedly exclaimed that the Seven Heroes of Wudang were indeed worthy of being called loyal and righteous people.

If they had Zhang Zhenren's help, their leader's pressure would be greatly reduced.

It's not impossible that they could even defeat the Three Elders of Shaolin.

After all, Master Zhang is the number one righteous person.

In a one-on-one fight, none of the three monks were a match for Master Zhang.

At this moment, Yang Xiao walked into the council hall.

"Left Envoy Yang, has the sect leader not yet emerged from seclusion?"

When everyone in the hall saw Yang Xiao arrive, Wei Yixiao was the first to speak and ask.

Yang Xiao shook his head slightly and said, "Although the leader has not yet emerged from seclusion, I have just told the leader about the Three Elders of Shaolin."

"What does the leader mean?" Everyone looked at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao remained calm and said indifferently, "The leader's intention is to let the Three Monks go to Bright Peak, and we are not allowed to obstruct them in any way."

He will then take action and suppress all three monks.

hiss!
Everyone gasped in shock, utterly stunned.

I never expected this kind of instruction.

What an arrogant statement!

Let the three monks go up the mountain, and then we will suppress them all!
"Does the leader really have the confidence to suppress the combined forces of the Three Monks?!" Zhou Dian, one of the Five Wanderers, still found it too unbelievable.

The Three Monks were not the same as the previous Shaolin monks Kongwen, Kongxing, and Kongzhi; they were genuine renowned figures in the martial arts world.

Isn't the leader underestimating these three monks?
Among those present, it wasn't just Zhou Dian who had this thought; White-browed Eagle King, Wei Yixiao, and others also had the same idea.

“I’m not sure if the leader is confident, but that’s what the leader said, so we don’t need to worry,” Yang Xiao said.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

After a long silence, it was White-browed Eagle King who spoke up, saying, "Since the sect leader has such confidence, then we don't need to worry too much. Besides, aren't there still the Wudang Sect members who have asked Master Zhang to be their backup plan?"

In any case, this crisis is unlikely to be too serious.

"Oh, the Wudang Sect members can actually invite Master Zhang?!" Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao's gaze immediately turned to Song Yuanqiao and the others.

"Brother Yang, there is no need to worry. Our Wudang Sect will never sit idly by in this matter. Under no circumstances can the Ming Cult be destroyed!"

Song Yuanqiao spoke with conviction, making this guarantee.

"Then Yang Xiao will thank you all on behalf of the sect leader." Yang Xiao was moved and quite touched.

The Wudang Sect truly lived up to its reputation as the sect founded by Zhang Zhenren, the foremost figure in the righteous path. He greatly admired the loyalty and camaraderie among the Seven Heroes of Wudang.

After chatting for a while longer, Song Yuanqiao and the others left the main hall and sent someone to deliver a message.

"In that case, let's make arrangements according to the leader's instructions."

Yang Xiao and the others were not too worried.

But Zhang Wuji, who had remained silent, clenched his fist secretly, a thought in his mind. After the meeting, he headed towards Xu Qing's secluded cultivation place.
