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

"Upon meeting Xuanku, I intended to ambush him and put everyone in Shaolin Temple in a state of panic. Now it seems that Master Xuanku has already learned some of the truth."

"Father, does Master Xuanku know that he was my mentor? He not only enlightened me during my youth but also taught me many principles of life and conduct. My achievements today are inseparable from Master Xuanku's contributions. Father, how can you want to kill him? My mentor was not involved in the Yanmen Pass incident!"

"Feng'er, don't get agitated. I didn't kill Xuan Ku. Xuan Ku has already agreed to help my father and me. What I find strange is that it seems someone went to inform Xuan Ku before I did."

"You mean someone knew Dad planned to kill my mentor? And then he went to warn my mentor?"

"Yes, to be able to come and go from Shaolin so easily, this person's martial arts are no weaker than ours. I suspect it was Murong Fu who spoke on his behalf?"

After much deliberation, Xiao Yuanshan concluded that the only person who knew the whole story and had the power to change things was Murong Fu.

Once he calmed down, Xiao Yuanshan realized that the rumors circulating in the martial arts world these days were all about Xiao Feng killing his father and master.

If Xuan Ku dies, this debt might fall on his son Xiao Feng.

Although Xiao Yuanshan didn't care about these things and didn't want Xiao Feng to continue in the Central Plains martial arts world, he planned from the beginning to take revenge and then retire from the Central Plains martial arts world to go to his hometown in Liao to herd horses and cattle.

It seems that Xiao Feng still cares about the opinions of people in the Central Plains martial arts world. As a father, he shouldn't be so selfish.

"Father, you guessed right, it must be Murong Fu helping me!"

Xiao Feng's favorability towards Murong Fu rose again. Xiao Yuanshan killed other people who deserved to die anyway, and Xiao Feng didn't think they were innocent.

After all, they had killed their own mother and many of the Liao Kingdom's servants without any reason, which changed the fate of their entire family.

But the adoptive parents and mentors are innocent!

Xiao Yuanshan nearly killed them all, which was something Xiao Feng found hard to accept.

"Feng'er, Murong Fu is someone you can befriend, but not someone you must offend!"

"yes!"

The father-son relationship between Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Feng is also gradually warming up, and they are beginning to discuss things together.

On the other hand, not long after Cao Cao and A'Zhu left Shaolin Temple, they saw someone sneaking in. Judging from the figure and movement, Cao Cao guessed that it was Xiao Yuanshan!

"My lord, is it really Elder Xiao? He's going to kill his own son's mentor? That doesn't seem logical!"

After leaving Shaolin Temple, A Zhu removed her human skin mask, revealing her true beauty. When dressed as a man, she had a somewhat heroic air about her.

"Under normal circumstances, Xiao Yuanshan would not be so reckless, but like my father Murong Bo, Xiao Yuanshan infiltrated Shaolin Temple for many years and secretly learned the Seventy-Two Shaolin Arts."

"These unparalleled martial arts all have one thing in common: they require Buddhist teachings to dispel the malevolent energy. The higher the level, the stronger the malevolent energy becomes. To dispel this malevolent energy, one must learn Buddhist teachings, and this is the case for all of them now."

"My lord, do you mean that both Elder Xiao and the old master possess an intractable resentment within them, and that occasional overflows of this resentment could cause them to go mad, even turning them into irrational, murderous maniacs? Therefore, under these circumstances, Xiao Yuanshan's many actions can be explained?"

"Yes, if we hadn't given Master Xuanku a warning in advance, he might have already been killed in a sneak attack. In that case, no matter how Xiao Feng explained, it would have been useless. Moreover, once Master Xuanku died, Shaolin Temple would definitely pursue the matter, creating a situation of no return. Xiao Yuanshan and the others would have had no chance to explain the Battle of Yanmen Pass."

While Cao Cao was chatting with A'Zhu, Xiao Yuanshan left Shaolin Temple again and headed towards Xiao Feng's residence. There was no further activity at Shaolin Temple.

"My lord, Senior Xiao did not harm Master Xuanku, can we leave now?"

"Yes, the Xiao family father and son have begun their meeting. A great battle is imminent. Let's return to Luoyang first!"

The Heroes' Assembly held at Shaolin Temple was of a higher level than the Beggars' Sect Assembly.

It attracted not only the Xingxiu Sect from the Western Regions, but also the Tibetan national teacher Kumārajīva, Duan Zhengchun from Dali, and the Four Evils of Western Xia.

In short, all the famous figures in the martial arts world have come, and naturally, the Beggars' Sect, the main sect of Shaoshi Mountain, has also mobilized its entire force!

Led by their new acting leader Quan Guanqing, the Beggars' Sect marched in a grand procession to Shaoshi Mountain.

Unexpectedly, they encountered the Xingxiu Sect's interception and ambush before they even reached Shaolin Temple.

Quan Guanqing noticed that the Xingxiu Sect had blocked this necessary route, which seemed to be intentional.

"Chief, these people seem to be from the Xingxiu Sect. Are they deliberately blocking our Beggars' Sect from participating in the Heroes' Gathering?"

"Let's see."

Quan Guanqing's entire demeanor changed after he became the gang leader.

I've gained some insights from practicing the Dog-Beating Stick Technique recently, and my confidence is soaring.

"I am Quan Guanqing, the leader of the Beggars' Sect. May I ask if the Venerable Xingxiu of the Xingxiu Sect is present?"

"You dare call my master by his name?"

Lion's Roar unleashed a poisonous palm strike, which Quan Guanqing barely managed to dodge.

Then Quan Guanqing unleashed a barrage of Dog-Beating Stick Techniques, which Lion Roar was no match for and was immediately stunned. This drew applause from the Beggars' Sect disciples, further enhancing Quan Guanqing's reputation.

"The 'Dog-Beating Stick Technique' is nothing special, in my opinion!"

The elegant Zhaixingzi waved her feather fan, and countless fireballs rained down.

Exhausted from defending, Quan Guanqing had no choice but to switch from offense to defense.

Zhaixingzi, the senior disciple of the Xingxiu Sect, single-handedly blocked the combined attack of Quan Guanqing and the four elders!

"Is this the Starry Sky Immortal?"

The four elders had assumed this young man was the Starry Sky Immortal, but to their surprise, Zhaixingzi casually remarked, "I am Zhaixingzi, the senior disciple of the Starry Sky Sect! You are not worthy of my master's intervention!"

"Boss, what do we do now?"

"retreat!"

Quan Guanqing was quite clever; he led the Beggars' Sect members to retreat and set up camp in the back.

He planned to join forces with other sects to wipe out the Xingxiu Sect's obstruction, but unexpectedly, when the other sects learned that the Xingxiu Sect was blocking their way, none of them dared to be the first to charge forward.

As a result, more and more martial arts practitioners gathered at the foot of the mountain, and those who didn't know any better thought that a heroes' gathering was going to be held here!

At this moment, Cao Cao led Wang Yuyan, Azhu, Azi, and Abi to Shaolin Temple to participate in the Heroes' Gathering. Originally, his entourage was much larger.

However, in order to send Murong Bo overseas to expand his territory and avoid exposing the identity of the madman.

Cao Cao handed over the three hundred elite warriors trained by the Murong family over the years, brought by Deng Baichuan, to Murong Bo.

He, meanwhile, surrounded by beautiful women as his "guards," enjoyed the scenery along the way while discussing martial arts with Yu Yan.

Azi hadn't expected that Wang Yuyan, at such a young age, would have such a high level of martial arts theory. As she listened, her own strength also improved.

In particular, the explanation of the similarities and differences between the Northern Darkness Divine Skill and the Dissolving Power Technique greatly benefited A Zi, which was actually Cao Cao's intention.

In this way, Azi now greatly admires Wang Yuyan and calls her "Mother".

Because that's what A'Zhu called her, and Wang Yuyan, as Murong Fu's childhood sweetheart, was betrothed to him since childhood.

Moreover, Wang Yuyan has always loved Murong Fu, and she has never abandoned him.

Therefore, Wang Yuyan had already given herself to Cao Cao, and her coming from afar to find her cousin shows that she had secretly fallen for him.

How could Cao Cao not know? He would never give away such a wonderful and capable wife.

Especially since there's Duan Yu following closely behind!
