Chapter 130

"This is a shocking bloodbath triggered by a message riddled with errors!"

"Let's start with Shaolin!"

"The Shaolin Sect?! What kind of place is that?! One of the top sects in the martial arts world! A powerful sect with Earth Immortals guarding it! A sect with many Heavenly Man martial artists!"

"Just how stupid would the Liao Kingdom have to be to think about stealing secret manuals from the Shaolin Sect?! Unless the Liao Kingdom poured out its entire force, unless the Liao Kingdom's Earth Immortal experts took action, otherwise, no matter how many Khitan martial artists the Liao Kingdom has, it would be useless!"

"Everyone, logically speaking, such an obviously fake story surely wouldn't fool anyone! Don't you agree?!"

Li Zhangsheng looked at the crowd and suddenly asked a question.

"Right! Anyway, I certainly wouldn't believe it!"

Huang Rong nodded, responding very cooperatively.

"Yeah! Just how stupid would one have to be to believe such a message riddled with errors?!"

Duan Yu also spoke up as a matter of course; he could see that much, okay?!

"Anyway, I wouldn't believe it!"

"Although I'm not smart! I'm not that stupid either!"

"I am very smart; I certainly wouldn't be that stupid!"

"..."

The members of the Murong family, Bao Butong, Feng Bo'e, A'Zhu, A'Bi, Wang Yuyan, and others all spoke up one after another.

Even some Beggar Sect elders and disciples couldn't help but nod involuntarily, very much agreeing with Li Zhangsheng's words.

Shan Zheng's face turned red; Tan Gong, Tan Po, and Zhao Qiansun all fell silent, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word; Master Zhiguang lowered his head, silently reciting a Buddhist chant, his face full of shame.

"And what was unexpected is that there really was a group of idiots... who believed such a message riddled with errors!"

"What's even more absurd is that they worried that after the Liao Kingdom seized the secret manuals, everyone in their army would learn martial arts, and on the battlefield, the Song Guo army would be no match for them..."

"Is this reasonable?!"

"This is clearly unreasonable!"

"As everyone knows, the Song Guo has produced many famous generals, its soldiers are brave, and the quantity and quality of its martial artists are not inferior to any powerful nation in the world! But why is it that the Song Guo cannot defeat the Liao Kingdom, cannot defeat the Jin Kingdom, and cannot even defeat Western Xia?!"

"What the Song Guo has always lacked is not famous generals, not soldiers, not martial artists, and certainly not so-called martial arts secret manuals! What the Song Guo lacks is a wise ruler with great ambition!"

"No! Forget about a wise ruler with great ambition! Replace him with a pig sitting on the Song Guo throne, and it would do a better job than the Song Guo Emperor!"

Li Zhangsheng spoke heavily, without the slightest hesitation, pointing his finger directly at the Song Guo Emperor.

"Right! Exactly! The Song Guo Emperor gives people the feeling that he is not the Emperor of the Song Guo, but rather the Emperor of some other country!"

Huang Rong responded very excitedly.

She had heard her father, Huang Yaoshi, say many things about the Song Guo Emperor, and she had no good feelings toward him at all.

However, apart from Huang Rong's response, the entire Apricot Forest—nearly a thousand Beggar Sect disciples, numerous elders, and many martial arts masters—all fell silent.

They were not like Li Zhangsheng, who was a Heavenly Man; they were not like Huang Rong, who had a good father like Huang Yaoshi; therefore, they dared not speak up in agreement.

"Everyone, sorry, I've digressed again!"

Li Zhangsheng timely brought the topic back. ===== CHAPTER 132 =====
