Chapter 36: No Money, and You Want to Leave? (Fourth Update)

On Wu Dangpai Mountain

"Gurgle..."

Silence reigned; all the martial artists in Wu Lin gulped down their saliva in shock.

Eyes, as if seeing ghosts, stared at Zhang Sanfeng, mouths agape, unable to speak.

At this moment, they finally understood why Zhang Sanfeng had been so arrogant before.

Damn it, if they had this kind of strength, they would be even more arrogant than Zhang Sanfeng.

Yet, looking at the situation before them, the crowd did not know how to resolve it.

Fight?

In such a scene, which brave soul would dare to step up?

Even Master Kongwen was taken down with one punch per kid; whoever steps up dies!

Don't fight?

Then the words they spoke earlier would be slapping their own faces.

Just as the martial artists in Wu Lin hesitated, a loud shout rose from within the crowd.

"Zhang Sanfeng, relying on your superior strength to bully us, what kind of hero are you!"

The moment the words were spoken, the crowd of the Liuda Sect, as if struck by lightning, scattered in all directions.

In an instant, the area around the man who had spoken was suddenly empty.

Countless martial artists in Wu Lin looked at him as if he were an idiot.

And the man who had spoken looked around at the crowd with a face full of doubt about life itself.

Holy crap, why did you guys move away!

If you hadn't moved away, how would Zhang Sanfeng know it was me shouting?

With you moving away like this, it makes him look like a complete fool!

The man looked at Zhang Sanfeng not far away, thinking he should still be able to salvage the situation.

He had just wanted to show off a bit.

Is it too late to take back his words now?

Feeling the gaze of countless eyes, the man was on the verge of tears.

You are bullying an honest person!

"Bang!"

Just as the man was crying inside, someone from the Huashan Sect within the Liuda Sect stepped forward, directly knocking the man unconscious with a blunt stick.

"True Immortal Zhang just taught us by word and example; how dare you slander True Immortal Zhang with such words! You truly deserve a beating!"

The man from the Huashan Sect spoke loudly, simultaneously reframing the previous events as the teachings of the senior True Immortal Zhang to the juniors.

Such a sudden scene left the people of the Liuda Sect around them all stunned.

Shortly after, many suddenly realized the truth.

"That's right, True Immortal Zhang is correct; we have a grudge against Xie Xun, but what does that have to do with Wu Dangpai!"

"Your words are reasonable; we have come today solely to wish True Immortal Zhang a happy birthday!"

"Actually, I hold True Immortal Zhang in great respect; our Huashan Sect absolutely will not allow anyone to slander True Immortal Zhang!"

".........."

The crowd of the Liuda Sect also came to their senses and began shouting loudly.

They had no choice but to shout.

Zhang Sanfeng was simply too fierce; they could not defeat him!

If they did not ease the awkwardness soon, so many of them might perish here.

At the gate of Wu Dangpai Mountain

The Wu Dangpai disciples, watching the people of the Liuda Sect now boasting about their Wu Dangpai, were left dumbfounded.

Was this really the same Liuda Sect that had been shouting for blood and killing before?

How did everyone change in such a short time?

Are the famous righteous sects so realistic nowadays?

Especially Zhang Cuishan, who had been blocked, watching Zhang Sanfeng settle the Liuda Sect in just a few moves, could not help but freeze.

What about his determination to prove his will with death?

What about his fierce rush to die?

Wasn't it agreed that he would finish his role in this episode?

How did the plot suddenly become so wrong!

Involuntarily, Zhang Cuishan's gaze turned to Zhang Sanfeng, who had finished showing off at the foot of the mountain, and he felt speechless and choked up inside.

Master, he is rushing to leave the stage to collect his meal box; your sudden addition of scenes makes it very hard for him.

And at this moment, Zhang Sanfeng naturally did not know what Zhang Cuishan was thinking.

Right now, he was sizing up the crowd of the Liuda Sect.

Fight? He, Zhang Sanfeng, did not intend to fight anymore.

After all, these people had already chickened out and were not preparing to act.

However, letting them go just like that, Zhang Sanfeng also felt it was a great pity.

Yes, it was simply too much of a pity.

This is Wu Dangpai Mountain.

They came whenever they wanted and left whenever they wanted.

Does the Wu Dangpai not care about its face?

At this thought, a glint of sharp light appeared in Zhang Sanfeng's eyes.

Perhaps this is also an opportunity for our Wu Dangpai.

Turning around, he glanced at Song Yuanqiao standing at the mountain gate; the latter arrived as if understanding his intent.

Zhang Sanfeng whispered a few words to Song Yuanqiao, after which Song Yuanqiao was directly stunned.

"Master, will this not affect the reputation of our Wu Dangpai?"

Hearing Zhang Sanfeng's idea, Song Yuanqiao was immediately shocked.

He never expected Zhang Sanfeng would want to do such a thing.

"What is reputation? You must know, those delicacies are not cheap!"

Shaking his head, Zhang Sanfeng thought of the new dish released this time; one portion costs one hundred taels of gold.

Our Wu Dangpai is wealthy and has a large family estate.

Yet even that cannot withstand such consumption.

If the Immortal releases new dishes later, and we cannot afford them, it will be very awkward.

Zhang Sanfeng's words made Song Yuanqiao realize the truth as well.

Indeed, the Immortal's delicacies have terrifying prices.

Just the current price is already one hundred taels of gold per portion.

If new dishes are released in the future.

A single dish costing a thousand taels of gold, or ten thousand taels of gold, is not impossible.

Relying solely on our Wu Dangpai's family assets, without any other plans, I fear there will truly be a problem.

"Master, I understand!"

Having understood this, Song Yuanqiao also knew what to do next.

Walking slowly to the front of the Liuda Sect crowd, Song Yuanqiao swept his gaze over them.

"Since everyone has come to celebrate the birthday, you might as well stay for a few more days."

Addressing the Liuda Sect crowd, the Liuda Sect members, already feeling guilty, all claimed they had come to celebrate the birthday.

However, Song Yuanqiao's next words left them stunned.

"Since everyone has come to celebrate the birthday, I assume you would not have forgotten to bring congratulatory gifts!"

"In my opinion, why not have each sect leave a few people behind to tour our Wu Dangpai properly for a few days?"

Speaking thus, Song Yuanqiao looked at the Liuda Sect crowd with a smile, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

Among those present, there were no foolish people.

As soon as Song Yuanqiao spoke, the sect leaders and elders of the Liuda Sect understood the meaning behind his words.

What congratulatory gifts? What leaving a few people to tour!

This is blatantly asking them for money!

Pfft, what Wu Dangpai? What modest gentlemen? Is this it?

"Master Kongwen, having difficulty moving, why not rest here for a few days?"

Looking at Kongwen of the Shaolin Temple, Song Yuanqiao said with a light laugh.

He did not care about the others.

Only the Shaolin Temple, he must leave behind.

It was not because of Zhang Sanfeng's anger, but because those bald Shaolin monks were incredibly rich!

As for how you know, of course, it was from seeing Xuan Ci and Xuanji showing off their wealth.

Master Kongwen, who had just awakened, heard such words and immediately became furious.

In an instant, overcome with rage, he fainted again.

He, a distinguished Gao Seng of Shaolin, was treated as a hostage for money.

In this vast Jianghu Wu Lin, is there no righteousness left to speak of!
