Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Chapter 157: They're All Mine [Third Update]

As usual, Lin Yaoxie put Yang Buhui and Xiao Zhao into the space.

Having space is great; Mom will never have to worry about me being caught cheating again.

But who can catch someone like Lin Yaoxie cheating?

It's rare to see someone who's even become an expert at stealing other people's wives.

Having successfully completed the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth and also collected beauties along the way, Lin Yaoxie's efforts this time were not in vain.

In a few flashes, they arrived at the entrance to the secret chamber, where Cheng Kun could be heard laughing arrogantly outside.

"Yang Xiao, Yin Tianzheng, Wei Yixiao, and the Five Wanderers, you eight idiots, you never expected that I, Cheng Kun, would show up, did you?"

A shrill voice cried out, "You old thief, when did you become a monk?"

Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but laugh silently; he hadn't expected the mistress to actually be an actress.

"Wei Fu Wang, you really can't keep up with the times. If I hadn't become a monk, how could I have persuaded the Shaolin monk Kong Jian to help me resolve Xie Xun's hatred? And the Shaolin monk Kong Jian wouldn't have been killed by my foolish disciple with thirteen punches."

An aged voice came: "What? You orchestrated the death of the monk Kongjian? Cheng Kun, do you know that it was because of Kongjian's death that Shaolin regarded our Ming Cult as their mortal enemy and would not rest until they were eliminated?"

Cheng Kun chuckled: "My goal is to destroy the Ming Cult. Yin Tianzheng, since you have betrayed the Ming Cult and established the Eagle Cult, what does the Ming Cult's affairs have to do with you? Why did you have to come here to die?"

Yin Tianzheng said righteously, "Cheng Kun, you are wrong. I, Yin Tianzheng, have never betrayed the Ming Cult. I just can't stand Yang Xiao. I came here today with my son not to save Yang Xiao, but to save the Ming Cult."

Yang Xiao laughed and said, "Yes, the Left Envoy of Light is not grateful, but the Ming Cult thanks the Eagle Leader for his righteousness."

Lin Yaoxie was scrambling to grab something. Hearing this, Bin just wanted to laugh. He thought to himself, "Don't underestimate Yin Tianzheng just because he's old. He's definitely a hero."

However, what Lin Yaoxie hated most were heroes. Only heroes who were fearless in their hearts would risk their lives to overthrow his rule as the Demon Emperor.

But upon closer reflection, it's not a big deal; having more heroes like this is actually a good thing. He can find them and kill them one by one, saving him the trouble of searching for stubborn rebels one by one.

"Grandpa, what you said is so true. I, Wuji, have benefited greatly from it."

Zhang Wuji's voice suddenly rang out, and Lin Yaoxie curled his lip; he had to make his appearance. Otherwise, once Zhang Wuji crawled out of the sack, his limelight would be stolen.

Everyone in the hall was also taken aback, especially Yin Tianzheng, who was even more puzzled.

"Grandpa, who's calling me Grandpa?"

In the original novel, Zhang Wuji was the child of Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu, so it was only natural for him to call Yin Tianzheng his maternal grandfather.

However, due to Lin Yaoxie's interference, although Zhang Wuji's father was still Zhang Cuishan, his mother became another hall master of the Eagle Sect, namely Yin Susu's junior sister.

This junior sister has taken Yin Tianzheng as her godfather and Yin Yewang as her godbrother, so Zhang Wuji can still call the White-browed Eagle King his maternal grandfather.

After Zhang Cuishan and his wife returned to the Central Plains, they caused a scene at Wudang Mountain where Zhang attempted suicide to atone for his sins. This became common knowledge in the martial arts world, including the Eagle Sect. However, while people in the martial arts world recognized Zhang Cuishan, they were largely unaware of his wife's name. Since returning to the Central Plains, the junior sister hadn't displayed any Eagle Claw techniques, so even Zhang Sanfeng wouldn't have known her origins had Zhang Cuishan not personally introduced her.

Both Yin Tianzheng's biological daughter and goddaughter have disappeared, so when someone suddenly calls him "grandfather," Yin Tianzheng assumes it's Yin Susu's child.

"It's me! I'm Wuji, your grandson Wuji!" Zhang Wuji roared from inside the Qiankun Yiqi Bag. His Nine Yang Divine Skill surged, and the bag swelled up into a ball, about to burst out.

Just then, the wall in one corner of the main hall suddenly flipped over, and Lin Yaoxie stepped out from it.

"Cheng Kun, you're playing really big." As he spoke, Lin Yaoxie gave the Cloth Bag Monk a wink.

Without needing to explain, he subtly pressed his palm against the bulging Qiankun Qi Bag. Lin Yaoxie inside the bag immediately felt the surrounding air pressure rise sharply, and it seemed as if countless flying dragons and elephants were galloping past his ears, forcefully suppressing his powerful Nine Yang True Qi.

Without the support of the Nine Yang True Qi, the bag immediately returned to its original state and shrank.

No one noticed this detail, and even if they did, they pretended not to see it. Even Zhang Wuji himself believed that his internal energy was not pure enough to last until the end.

Lin Yaoxie's sudden appearance completely changed the atmosphere of the scene.

Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng were initially confused, but then became excited. The remaining Wei Yixiao and the Five Wanderers wore enigmatic smiles, a stark contrast to their bitter resentment after being subdued by Cheng Kun.

Cheng Kun narrowed his triangular eyes, watching Lin Yaoxie nervously. Even with Cheng Kun's skills, he couldn't tell whether Lin Yaoxie possessed martial arts abilities.

In fact, Cheng Kun knew very well that someone who could come out of the secret passage and dare to casually say his secular name with a disdainful tone could not possibly lack martial arts skills.

Turning to look at the others, some were giving strange smiles, while others seemed relaxed. What was going on?

"May I ask who you are?" Cheng Kun asked respectfully, not daring to be presumptuous. He slowly placed his right hand behind his back, his middle finger protruding, gathering his energy between his fingers, ready to unleash the Illusionary Yin Finger at any moment.

Lin Yaoxie walked straight towards Cheng Kun: "You dare to mess with the Ming Cult without even asking whose territory this is?"

Cheng Kun was stunned by Lin Yaoxie's sudden and domineering aura. He retreated step by step, still trying to be defiant: "You dare to say that the Ming Cult is your territory? Are you the leader of the Ming Cult?"

Lin Yaoxie was still walking, and the distance between him and Cheng Kun was getting shorter and shorter.

Cheng Kun was like a young girl cornered by a lecherous wolf, feeling an unspeakable fear and humiliation rising from her heart.

"Don't even mention the Ming Cult, even if I said the entire Great Yuan Dynasty was mine, then it is mine." Lin Yaoxie had already walked up to Cheng Kun, reached out and gently patted Cheng Kun's cheek.

Chapter 158: Knowing It Like the Back of My Hand [Fourth Update]

Cheng Kun never expected that someone with his level of cultivation would be humiliated.

However, judging from the imposing aura displayed by the other party, Cheng Kun knew without much thought that it was the Demon Emperor Lin Yaoxie!

Besides the Demon Emperor Lin Yaoxie, who else could exude such terrifying suppressive power? Apart from the Demon Emperor Lin Yaoxie, Cheng Kun couldn't think of anyone who could slap him in the face.

"The Demon Emperor?" Cheng Kun's voice changed and became more emphasizing.

Lin Yaoxie slapped Cheng Kun's face with the back of his hand before saying, "Demon Emperor Lin Yaoxie, haven't you heard of him?"

"Of course I've heard of it."

"Since you've heard of it, how dare you come to my territory and cause trouble?" Lin Yaoxie asked condescendingly.

"The Ming Cult is a Western Regions religion? You, Demon Emperor, are the Eastern Divine Emperor. How could there be a relationship between the two of you?" Cheng Kun was very aggrieved. He couldn't understand how, based on his understanding of the Ming Cult, he could have overlooked the existence of the Demon Emperor.

Cheng Kun was unaware that when his cousin married Yang Dingtian, the latter had already become the leader of the cult.

Because Lin Yaoxie had ordered from the beginning that he must not set foot in the Ming Cult, and also because of other supervisors, even though Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand was a figure of considerable importance, how could he possibly outmaneuver Lin Yaoxie, who had an omniscient perspective?

Lin Yaoxie needed Cheng Kun to cause trouble, and even more so, he needed Cheng Kun to throw the situation into chaos. Only by throwing the situation into chaos could there be relative stability, and only then could he avoid trouble.

"You don't understand? Do I need to tell you?" Lin Yaoxie smiled wickedly, making Cheng Kun, who considered himself the great villain, admit his inferiority.

"I've lost, and I accept it." Cheng Kun lowered his head, having given up on any further resistance.

"Don't you want to spar with me?" Lin Yaoxie still maintained a harmless yet ruthless demeanor: "The Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand, Golden Hair is Master Wang Dao, with a great reputation in the martial arts world, an absolute top expert. I, the Emperor, am looking forward to fighting you."

"I'm not fighting anymore." Cheng Kun became very discouraged: "You are the Demon Emperor. Although we have never met, I have heard your legends."

When it comes to Lin Yaoxie's past, Cheng Kun knows it like the back of his hand: "More than a hundred years ago, he flew down into Xiangyang City, smashed and killed the Mongol commander, and repelled the Golden Wheel Monk. Not long after, he reappeared in the martial arts world with a powerful attitude, seized the position of the leader of the martial arts gang, and completely killed the Golden Wheel Monk."

Cheng Kun took a breath and continued, "Not long after, for some unknown reason, he fell out with the great hero Guo Jing, but then came to his aid when Xiangyang was besieged by Möngke. He led the Thirteen Black-Robed Riders and swept through the Mongol army of 50,000."

Shortly after that year, he massacred the Quanzhen Sect and waged a decisive battle against righteous men throughout the land in Lin'an. He killed the Southern Song emperor, slew Guo Jing, destroyed the Beggar King, and slaughtered the mischievous boy Yideng, thus unifying the country. Half a year later, he helped Ariq Böke drive out Kublai Khan and brought the demon to the Yuan dynasty.

Having said all that in one breath, Cheng Kun wiped the sweat from his brow with his left hand: "After a hundred years, you reappeared in the martial world, single-handedly trapping and killing two hundred thousand Mongol troops. With a single sword stroke, you beheaded a dragon and enthroned Empress Zhao Min. Every single thing you did was an earth-shattering, supreme miracle. I, Cheng Kun, am ashamed of my inferiority. I am now waiting to die, and I have no desire to fight anymore."

"Tsk tsk tsk." Lin Yaoxie clapped his hands repeatedly: "Well done, Cheng Kun. If you hadn't been a schemer or a monk, you would have achieved great things as an orator. You summarized what I've accomplished in over a hundred years in just a few words. Good, very good."

Lin Yaoxie patted Cheng Kun's face again: "Originally, I should have killed you after you caused so much trouble. But I think you're a talented person, so not only do I not want to kill you, but I also want to keep you alive. Maybe you can help me with some things."

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, for sparing my life!" Cheng Kun was overjoyed and immediately knelt down in gratitude.

"My benefactor, you can't let him go!"

"Your Majesty, this man is ruthless and vicious; he must not be allowed to live."

Zhang Wuji, inside the Qiankun Yiqi Bag, and Yin Tianzheng, the White-browed Eagle King, shouted simultaneously.

Yang Xiao frowned as he looked at Yin Tianzheng, opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately kept his mouth shut, looking regretful.

The Five Wanderers and Green-Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao looked at Yin Tianzheng with pitiful eyes, as if something unfortunate could happen to the White-Browed Eagle King at any moment.

Lin Yaoxie turned to Yin Tianzheng, his face suddenly darkening: "Eagle King, I have already made my decision. Do you think there is anything wrong with it?"

Yin Tianzheng was taken aback, not expecting Lin Yaoxie to turn his attention to him. Yin Tianzheng was almost seventy years old this year and had always been a tough nut to crack. Although he knew that Lin Yaoxie's methods were unfathomable, there were some things he couldn't bear to keep to himself.

"Your Majesty." Yin Tianzheng had been struck by Cheng Kun's Illusionary Yin Finger and was completely weak. He wanted to clench his fists, but could only shake his head and say, "Your Majesty, I know very well that Cheng Kun is a wolf in sheep's clothing."

Lin Yaoxie glanced at Yin Tianzheng, then at Cheng Kun, his smile sinister: "What kind of wolfish ambitions do you have? I'd like to hear them."

Yin Tianzheng spoke eloquently: "Decades ago, Cheng Kun took advantage of the fact that Sect Leader Yang Dingtian was neglecting his wife while practicing his martial arts, and actually went on a date with her. As a result, Sect Leader Yang secretly caught them, causing Cheng Kun to suffer a qi deviation and die. The Sect Leader's wife suddenly realized her mistake and atone for her sins by following the Sect Leader in death. But this wolf in sheep's clothing..."

Yin Tianzheng pointed at Cheng Kun with all his might: "This wolfish and ambitious fellow actually took his anger out on our entire Ming Cult because of his wife's suicide, and slaughtered the Lion King's family of thirteen, causing the Lion King to hunt him down all over the world under the banner of the Ming Cult. In the process, he killed countless people."

Yin Tianzheng was heartbroken, tears streaming down his cloudy eyes: "Our Ming Cult comes from a foreign land. Although our doctrines differ from those of the Central Plains, we are truly not an evil cult. It is only because of the heinous Cheng Kun that our Ming Cult is despised by the world."

The White-browed Eagle King's body trembled, indicating that he might have regained his mobility: "Cheng Kun, I'll risk my life to kill you."

Cheng Kun, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly, was originally heartbroken because of Lin Yaoxie's arrival, but when he heard Yin Tianzheng's righteous and awe-inspiring accusations, he could no longer hold back.

With a strange "roar," it leaped forward and unleashed the Illusionary Yin Finger, its power secretly channeled, hurtling straight toward the White-browed Eagle King.

In his rage, Cheng Kun disregarded whether he would offend Lin Yaoxie, and his figure flashed past the Demon Emperor.

Chapter 159: The Eagle King Dies - Illusory Yin Finger [First Update]

Cheng Kun was known as the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand because his Illusionary Yin Finger technique cultivated Hunyuan True Qi. Thunderbolt refers to his lightning-fast speed.

But no matter how powerful Cheng Kun was, he could not break through the limits of this world.

If Lin Yaoxie were to try to stop him, Cheng Kun would be like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

However, Lin Yaoxie did not move, letting Cheng Kun pass by and rushing to the White-browed Eagle King, who could not dodge.

The middle finger flew out and hit Yin Tianzheng squarely between the eyebrows.

"Cheng Kun, you bastard, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!" Yin Tianzheng roared with all his might before he died.

Just now at Bright Peak, Cheng Kun subdued Yang Xiao and his eight companions with just one finger.

Enraged, Cheng Kun unleashed his full power, striking Yin Tianzheng's vital point with his finger. After saying this, Yin Tianzheng coughed up blood, tilted his head, and died.

Within the Ming Cult, aside from Yang Xiao's body swaying violently, everyone else watched. It was as if the dead man wasn't one of their old comrades.

Lin Yaoxie's lips curled into a slight smile. It was the thing he would be most happy to see Yin Tianzheng die at Cheng Kun's hands.

Yin Tianzheng is Yin Susu's father, and Yin Susu is now Lin Yaoxie's woman. Logically speaking, just as he forgave Gongsun Lüe's uncle, Iron Palm Qiu Qianren, Lin Yaoxie should also be able to tolerate White-Browed Eagle King.

Judging from the conversation just now, Yin Tianzheng has a straightforward temper and is difficult to control. If we let him live, it will cause a lot of inconvenience for Lin Yaoxie to take Yin Susu away in the future, so it's better to kill him.

For Lin Yaoxie, killing a person is easier than crushing an ant. But he is Lin Yaoxie, the Demon Emperor. How could the Demon Emperor do something meaningless?

Killing Yin Tianzheng with his own hands would definitely leave a shadow on Yin Susu's heart if she found out later. Moreover, in the original novel, Yin Tianzheng died before the story ended. He wouldn't fall into the category of widows, so killing him would bring no reward. Lin Yaoxie wouldn't bother with something so thankless.
