Cao Cao's soul transmigrates into Murong Fu's body

Cao Cao practiced the Joyful Zen internal energy cultivation method, which is an unparalleled martial art of Tantric Buddhism.

Not only can it achieve the effect of harmonizing Yin and Yang and enhancing one's power, it can also allow both parties to reveal their inner thoughts to each other without reservation.

Therefore, Cao Cao also told Kang Min that his true identity was Cao Cao Mengde, the King of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period!

This is very convincing, and it can be considered as fulfilling Kang Min's dream of becoming a concubine. She is not only a princess, but an imperial concubine!

When Kang Min met Duan Zhengchun, she naively thought that her Duan Lang would take her to Dali. Even if she didn't become a princess, she would be willing to be a concubine.

Unexpectedly, Duan Zhengchun never returned, which gradually led Kang Min to become corrupted.

Kang Min's twisted personality was also due to her bad luck in meeting the wrong people. After being deceived time and time again, disappointment turned into despair.

Now Cao Cao not only doesn't mind that Kang Min is a widow, but also promises to give her a title, which moves Kang Min deeply.

Everything was left unsaid; Kang Min had completely submitted to Cao Cao.

After a night of turmoil, the widow's advantages were on full display!

Kang Min is no longer the same as before. Not only does she possess internal strength, but Cao Cao also gifted her some basic martial arts manuals during this period.

Cao Cao intended for her to use in self-defense, not to expect her to become a top-notch fighter.

Kang Min, who was already intelligent, had acquired the ability to protect herself after a little learning.

Even without Cao Cao by her side, Kang Min was able to handle things with ease. In this environment, it would be very dangerous not to have some martial arts skills.

After seeing off Kang Min and Qiao San Kui, who were hiding in the caravan, Cao Cao arrived at a secret branch of the Beggars' Sect and met Quan Guanqing.

Their meeting was kept secret, the fewer people who knew about it, the better. In order not to alert the enemy, Cao Cao even let Xiao Feng rest in his old house on Shaoshi Mountain.

While ostensibly waiting for news from Xiao Yuanshan, the real purpose was to keep Xiao Feng unaware of the situation within Luoyang City.

"Gang Leader Quan, how have you been?"

"My lord, you flatter me too much. My position as acting gang leader is entirely due to the Dog-Beating Stick Technique you bestowed upon me. Whether I can hold this position for long is still a question."

"Currently, Xiao Feng is wandering within the Shaoshi Mountain area. Rumor has it that he has allegedly murdered his adoptive parents and is planning to kill his mentor, Xuan Ku. Therefore, Abbot Xuan Ci of Shaolin Temple intends to invite heroes from all over the martial arts world to a grand gathering!"

"A gathering of heroes? Is it to discuss how to deal with Xiao Feng?"

"I think so, my lord. What's your opinion? Shouldn't our Beggars' Sect also join in the fun and elevate our status in the martial arts world?"

Quan Guanqing, now the acting leader of the Beggars' Sect, also hopes to make a name for himself through this martial arts heroes' gathering.

Especially since this time he is facing the former leader of the Beggars' Sect, Xiao Feng, Quan Guanqing is capable of representing the Beggars' Sect to eliminate Xiao Feng.

Whether he can be officially appointed depends on his performance at this conference.

"I'm definitely going. I'm just curious, where did you get these rumors, the ones about Xiao Feng killing his adoptive parents and wanting to kill his Shaolin master?"

"To be honest, my lord, I had these messages spread throughout the martial arts world. It's just strange that before our Beggars' Clan even requested to convene fellow martial artists to discuss how to deal with Xiao Feng, Shaolin Temple beat us to it."

"However, with the Shaolin Temple, the leading force in the martial arts world, participating, the Xiao Killing Tournament should be even more lively. I reckon that not only martial arts gangs from the Central Plains will come, but also some sects from outside the region will join in the fun, all in an effort to enhance their influence in the Central Plains martial arts world."

Cao Cao understood Quan Guanqing's concerns. Having finally secured the position of leader of the Beggars' Sect, he was bound to want to prove his abilities. Spreading rumors about Xiao Feng was simply an attempt to use him against him.

"Quan Guanqing has a bit of Sima Yi's traitorous streak, but while others dare not use him, I am not afraid!"

Cao Cao knew how to use someone like Quan Guanqing; the right person in the right position can play a huge role.

Once you know Quan Guanqing's needs, it will be easier to deal with.

Cao Cao was now thinking about the news that Quan Guanqing had released these days, and how he had quickly gained the support of Shaolin Temple.

Furthermore, he spearheaded a gathering of martial arts heroes, leading Cao Cao to wonder if his leader, Xuanci, was panicking.

Xuan Ci was afraid that Xiao Feng would come to the mountain to kill him after he learned the truth.

The saying goes, "If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear."

Xuan Ci's quick reaction further confirms that the Battle of Yanmen Pass was related to him.

He was also afraid that the events surrounding the Battle of Yanmen Pass would be exposed and affect his position as the abbot of Shaolin Temple!

With the Shaolin Temple Martial Arts Heroes Conference about to be held, it is the perfect opportunity for the Xiao family to storm the mountain.

Cao Cao pondered for a while and did not blame Quan Guanqing for releasing the news without authorization to slander Xiao Feng.

In his view, although Quan Guanqing claimed to be loyal to him, it was only superficial for the time being.

How to win his heart and soul depends on Cao Cao's skill in managing his subordinates.

"Guanqing, your guess is completely correct. Let's do as you say."

Cao Cao didn't say much. He knew very well that Quan Guanqing wanted to use Murong Fu's power to step on Xiao Feng and rise to power at the martial arts tournament.

The idea is good, but it's very difficult to implement. Under normal circumstances, the entire Shaolin Temple would be wiped out, since even Xiao Feng could "enter and exit seven times" among this rabble.

Not to mention Xiao Yuanshan, who has mastered the unparalleled martial arts of Shaolin. Thirty years ago, Xuanci couldn't defeat Xiao Yuanshan, and now it's even more so.

As they were leaving, Quan Guanqing's confidant suggested, "Chief, Murong Fu seems to have a close relationship with Xiao Feng. Could he join forces with Xiao Feng?"

"My probing just now proved that Murong Fu will not join forces with Xiao Feng. At most, he will remain neutral. Murong Fu wants to rely on the intelligence of our Beggars' Sect for his restoration cause, and we can take advantage of this."

"Our leader is brilliant! He feigned allegiance to Murong Fu, then reaped the benefits!"

While Quan Guanqing's confidants were showering him with flattery, Cao Cao overheard everything.

"His cleverness backfired; Quan Guanqing was too naive. Did he really think Xiao Feng was so easy to manipulate?"

Cao Cao knew very well that Quan Guanqing wanted to use him to deal with Xiao Feng, but Cao Cao also understood that a great hero like Xiao Feng should never be made an enemy.

Just like Guan Yu, Cao Cao treated him with courtesy, and it was precisely because of this that Guan Yu would lend a helping hand to Cao Cao in his most difficult times.

Therefore, Xiao Feng's trip up the mountain not only allowed him to escape unscathed, but also made things difficult for the leaders. Quan Guanqing's life or death was actually in Xiao Feng's hands.

He even dreamed of climbing to power by stepping on Xiao Feng—that's wishful thinking!

Only after Quan Guanqing truly realized the gap between himself and Xiao Feng would he truly pledge allegiance to Cao Cao.

He wasn't worried about that, and with Quan Guanqing leading the way, things would progress much more smoothly.

Cao Cao also wanted to know how the leader would react after his identity was exposed to the martial arts heroes.
