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

Although Xuan Ku could not ask Xuan Ci in person, as a high-ranking monk of Shaolin Temple, he would not listen to only one side of the story. Therefore, everything would have to wait until the Heroes' Gathering.

Originally, Xuanku had never cared about temple affairs and had always been practicing Shaolin martial arts and Buddhism.

Therefore, without these distractions, Xuanku had already become the foremost monk of Shaolin!

Of course, this excludes the sweeping monks, water-carrying monks, and vegetable-growing monks, who are the hermit masters of Shaolin Temple.

Therefore, since Xuan Ku did not die at Xiao Yuanshan's hands, Shaolin Temple has gained another master on the surface.

Whether Xuan Ku is on one side or the other depends on whether the facts are as Xiao Feng and the others say!

Not long after Cao Cao and A'Zhu left, another person arrived at Shaolin Temple.

Xiao Yuanshan, former chief instructor of the Liaoshan Army!

"Distinguished guests, why not show yourselves and greet them!"

Xuan Ku hadn't rested at all. He pondered what Murong Fu and Xiao Feng had said when they came, and combined it with some information he had gathered over the years, he roughly deduced the truth of the matter.

However, many things still need to be investigated in person. Without evidence, Xuan Ku could not ask in person, as this would be suspected of usurping the position of Abbot Xuan Ci.

In terms of both martial arts and Buddhist teachings, Xuanku was actually the abbot's first choice.

However, in order to enhance Shaolin's reputation, Xuanci participated in many major events in the martial arts world, including the Battle of Yanmen Pass.

According to Xuanci and others, they did indeed intercept a large number of experts sent by the Liao Kingdom to enter the country.

This not only ensured that the martial arts manuals of Shaolin Temple were not stolen, but also indirectly protected the Song Dynasty, which can be considered a great achievement.

Therefore, Xuanci was able to successfully succeed as the abbot of Shaolin Temple; otherwise, if there had been a real election, Xuanci might not have been the abbot.

You must know that Xuan Ku was the one who trained a peerless master like Xiao Feng, whose character and martial arts were both top-notch!

Therefore, Xuan Ku could not believe that Xiao Feng would indiscriminately kill innocent people. Now that he saw Xiao Feng come over to explain in person, he felt much more at ease.

Now that another peerless master has infiltrated Shaolin, it can be considered that what Murong Fu and the others said was true.

Could this be the legendary Xiao Yuanshan?

"Benefactor Xiao Yuanshan, have you come to take this humble monk's life?"

The man in black was about the same size as Xiao Feng, and possessed profound internal strength. Xuan Ku felt an immense suppressive force.

If Xuan Ku hadn't remained conscious, he might not have been able to discover the man in black while asleep.

If he were ambushed, Xuan Ku would be crippled even if he didn't die!

"My good apprentice, thank you for your reminder, which saved my life."

Cao Cao will bring A'Zhu, who is disguised as Xiao Feng, mainly to make his presence known.

Otherwise, if Xuan Ku had met Xiao Yuanshan for the first time and there had been a conflict without any conversation, he would have definitely blamed everything on Xiao Feng.

Cao Cao valued Xiao Feng highly, just as he respected Guan Yu.

Therefore, they did not want Xiao Feng to be branded as disloyal and unjust.

Taking away Xiao Feng's adoptive parents and reminding Xiao Feng's mentor—all of this was for these reasons.

Father and son will definitely not become enemies in the future, because these unpleasant things will no longer happen.

"Master Xuanku, how do you recognize me? Were you among those who fought at Yanmen Pass? But I don't remember!"

Xiao Yuanshan removed his mask, revealing his true appearance. Apart from having a full head of white hair and looking a bit older, Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Feng were almost identical!

"Benefactor Xiao, your son Xiao Feng is my disciple. His achievements today are all thanks to my guidance. Benefactor Xiao's desire to take my life is merely an attempt to sow discord within Shaolin. There's no need for that. I'm willing to join you in exposing Xuan Ci's conspiracies!"

"Is Master Xuanku afraid of death?"

"Although Benefactor Xiao is highly skilled in martial arts, there is still too much remnant of malevolence in your body. If we were to fight, I might not be your match."

"Xuanku truly lives up to his reputation as a highly accomplished monk of Shaolin; he knew all along that I had secretly learned Shaolin's secret martial arts!"

"You flatter me, Benefactor Xiao. I am only thinking of my disciple Xiao Feng. Killing me will not benefit you at all, but will instead put Xiao Feng in a position of disloyalty and injustice."

"Alright, since you say so, I will spare your life. I hope Master Xuanku will keep his promise at the Heroes' Gathering."

The saying goes, "A teacher for a day is a father for life," and Xuan Ku's feelings for Xiao Feng were indeed very deep.

Having learned the general outline of the matter, Xuan Ku now knows that he must bear the consequences of Xuan Ci's actions, especially since Xiao Yuanshan has come to his door in person.

"Senior Brother Xuanci, the reputation of Shaolin Temple cannot be ruined by you. Don't blame me!"

Master Xuanku's joining Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Feng's side is equivalent to having an inside agent.

With the assistance of eminent monks of the Xuan generation, Xiao Yuanshan's plan would be more successful.

After leaving Shaolin Temple, Xiao Yuanshan went to the place where he was to meet Xiao Feng, which was the original residence of Qiao San Kui and his wife.

Xiao Feng spent all his time in seclusion cultivating, and his Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms improved considerably. Xiao Feng's strength did not lie in possessing the Beggar Clan's unparalleled martial arts, but rather in his own combat genius and his ability to learn from various battles. These days were a good opportunity for Xiao Feng to process the battle against the First-Class Hall in Western Xia, which reminded him of someone!

"While the Four Evils are certainly not to be underestimated, Li Yanzong is also a talent. I wonder if he will attend the Heroes' Gathering?"

Xiao Feng had some bold guesses about Li Yanzong's true identity, but he wasn't sure yet. He would only know for sure when they faced each other again.

In fact, Cao Cao had his own identity or alias in various countries!

The martial arts world in the Central Plains is led by Murong Fu, while in Western Xia it is led by Li Yanzong of the Yipintang.

Several other accounts are gradually gaining fame, but they haven't really started to manage them yet.

After resolving the Shaolin Temple matter, Cao Cao will likely need to pursue other side quests under a different identity.

His disguise skills were taught to him by A'Zhu, so his technique was undoubtedly excellent and he was able to deceive everyone!

"Feng'er, your skills have improved even more these days. You said you would surpass me in three years, but I think you have already completely surpassed me now."

Xiao Yuanshan went on a killing spree in the martial arts world, his target being Xiao Feng.

After all, these dead people were the same group who came forward at the Beggars' Sect assembly to prove that Xiao Feng was a Khitan.

Moreover, besides Xiao Feng, whose martial arts skills are unpredictable and superb, he can easily take the lives of Zhao Qiansun and others.

Other well-known figures in the martial arts world are no match for them, after all, they are established martial arts masters.

Furthermore, the fact that Xiao Yuanshan's identity had not yet been revealed only exacerbated Xiao Feng's bad reputation in the martial arts world.

Xiao Yuanshan is constantly causing trouble for Xiao Feng!

What Cao Cao and Xiao Feng had in common was that they both had troublesome fathers.

"Father, you're joking. If a real fight breaks out, neither of us can gain the upper hand. Where did you come from, Father?"

"Shaolin Temple!"

What was the purpose of going to Shaolin Temple so late at night?

Xiao Feng thought Xiao Yuanshan was going to launch a sneak attack on the leader, Abbot Xuanci.

However, given Xiao Yuanshan's strength, the fact that he hasn't made a move all these years suggests that he still intends to publicly "execute" the ringleader.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have tolerated it for so many years without taking action against Xuan Ci.
