Chapter 13
Gu Hanyuan suddenly entered the focus of everyone, not only shocking the people of the major sects like Kongwen but also shaking the Wu Dang crowd.
Even many people of the Wu Dangpai didn't know Gu Hanyuan, this little transparent person, only the six people including the Seven Heroes who often went to visit Yu Daiyan
could occasionally see his figure. They knew that Yu Daiyan had such a disciple who, although handsome, had no presence.
Shangguan Haitang was also surprised, not expecting that someone she had appreciated after looking at each other a few times would appear in the field under such a situation.
In her heart, she also hoped that Gu Hanyuan could be safe.
Abbess Miejue frowned; for her, the most important thing was to find the whereabouts of the Golden-Haired Lion King Xie Xun, so as to avenge her own brother, the "Golden Melon Hammer" Fang Ping.
Originally, seeing that the matter had made progress, but suddenly being interrupted by Gu Hanyuan, she inevitably felt dissatisfied.
As for the disciples behind Miejue, they only thought that Gu Hanyuan was overestimating his own strength, just a pity for his good-looking face.
Yin Susu was more shocked than anyone else in the field,
She could see that if it weren't for her momentary impulse, based on her understanding, Gu Hanyuan would not have chosen to appear at such a dangerous time.
Although she still felt a bit resentful about being threatened by him that night, after being comforted by him before, plus the secret interaction just now, she couldn't deny that she had a few feelings.
Being moved like this again, Yin Susu began to waver.
She could only choose to believe in Gu Hanyuan at this time, silently praying for peace.
Gu Hanyuan decided to walk to the front of the stage in the few steps of deciding to go down.
And if he didn't want to be submerged in the crowd, he had to have enough prestige, and the Kongwen with an ugly face and the Kongzhi with a bitter face in front of him were the best tools for brushing prestige.
Song Yuanqiao was kind-hearted; seeing Gu Hanyuan attract firepower in such a dangerous situation, he subconsciously wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Zhang Sanfeng.
And Zhang Sanfeng was watching with interest at the grand-disciple who usually had no presence but was now like a shining light, debating with the heroes and talking eloquently.
With his eyesight, it was naturally not difficult to see in this situation that Gu Hanyuan, who was usually deeply hidden, already had the cultivation realm of the Early Innate Stage.
Even without seeing him make a move, information such as footsteps, eyes, and breath made Gu Hanyuan's hidden cultivation realm almost invisible in Zhang Sanfeng's eyes.
Of course, only Zhang Sanfeng had such eyesight in the field, even Daoist Mu was still a cut short.
Kongwen's face became very ugly when he heard Gu Hanyuan use words similar to what he said to Zhang Sanfeng. There was a vague premonition that he would not get his wish today.
This Kongwen seems to have high morality and compassion, but in fact, his heart is extremely small, often speculating on others with the greatest malice, and loves to show off his little cleverness to satisfy his sense of superiority.
In fact, Kongwen didn't care about the Longmen Security Bureau.
After all, the Longmen Security Bureau was just a security bureau opened by Du Dajin, a lay disciple who was not qualified to practice martial arts and was asked to retire by North Shaolin. And there were at least eight hundred lay disciples like Du Dajin in the Ming Guo territory.
Even every year, one or two lay disciples similar to Du Dajin would die. It was not seen that North Shaolin sought justice for anyone.
How much status could such a Du Dajin have in Kongwen's heart?
It was just because it happened to involve Zhang Cuishan, so he could use this to attack the Wu Dangpai.
Avenge Kongjian was sincere, after all, he was the strongest expert on the surface of North Shaolin. And Kongjian had a very good reputation, otherwise, he wouldn't have made Xie Xun convinced.
Kongjian's death had greatly damaged the interests of North Shaolin.
As for seeking the Dragon-Slaying Saber, it was also to improve the status of North Shaolin in the Jianghu, and he had no interest in the Dragon-Slaying Saber itself.
"Since the little benefactor has something to say, please speak directly."
Kongwen tried to regain some face by relying on his old age and selling his old age, and regain the initiative.
Gu Hanyuan didn't care about Kongwen's slightly clumsy provocation.
"I don't know if Master Kongwen has any solid evidence that Fifth Uncle killed the 71 people of the Longmen Security Bureau?"
Kongwen frowned, but could only tell the truth.
"Although there is no evidence, the only person who is most likely and has the motive at the time is Fifth Hero Zhang."
Seeing Kongwen admit that there was no evidence, Gu Hanyuan gave a heart-to-heart blow.
"That is to say, Master Kongwen is forcing Fifth Uncle with a 'groundless' charge? I didn't expect that the highly respected Master Kongwen in the Jianghu and the famous North Shaolin would compare themselves to the Emperor of the Song Guo? Is the next step to send Fifth Uncle to North Shaolin to be beheaded on a chosen day?"
Gu Hanyuan's words landed, and the entire hall of hundreds of people instantly became so quiet that only breathing sounds remained.
Although it was a bit of a strong argument, the distance from Yue Fei being unjustly killed was only a mere 20 years.
The matter back then made the whole world noisy. Even in the Ming Guo, it was known to everyone. And the "groundless" charge was also hated by people all over the world since then.
With Yue Fei's prestige in the various countries of the Central Plains back then, if North Shaolin was confirmed to imitate Emperor Zhao Gou of the Song Guo and unjustly kill Zhang Cuishan with a "groundless" charge, North Shaolin would likely be razed to the ground by people all over the world who respected Yue Fei.
So this black pot of "groundless" charge, Kongwen and North Shaolin absolutely could not afford to carry.
Moreover, what Gu Hanyuan said about North Shaolin comparing itself to the Emperor of the Song Guo was even more taboo. A Jianghu sect compares itself to the Emperor, what exactly do they want to do?
"You... you..."
Kongwen was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and could only stutter a few "you" words.
And the other major sects also had lingering fears, and no longer had the noise before.
Shangguan Haitang was also full of admiration for Gu Hanyuan's boldness. He actually directly put a big pot on North Shaolin for wanting to unjustly kill Zhang Cuishan with a "groundless" charge.
As for the matter of comparing oneself to the Emperor, it is more subtle.
If you don't care, it's just a matter of laughing it off. If you really want to care, the imperial court has every reason to take action against North Shaolin.
Yin Susu had a deep understanding of Gu Hanyuan's shamelessness; things like directly putting a black pot were exactly what he would do.
This move is indeed powerful, but the key is how to solve Xie Xun's matter? Even if Shaolin is forced to retreat, the covetousness of the other major sects for the Dragon-Slaying Saber will definitely not give up easily.
Gu Hanyuan looked at the changes in the field, hooked a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes specifically glanced at the restless Kongzhi, instantly provoking his anger.
"Yellow-mouthed child, speaking nonsense! How dare you slander North Shaolin! Today you cannot be left!"
Kongzhi's personality was originally impulsive and irritable, and being provoked by Gu Hanyuan like this, he instantly lost his mind, jumped up and made a move on Gu Hanyuan.
"Junior Brother, no!"
Although Kongwen was also very angry at Gu Hanyuan's words, he still knew that it was not suitable to make a move today; otherwise, once it evolved into a large-scale fight, including North Shaolin, they might all be left in the Wu Dangpai.
He still had some self-knowledge about the strength comparison; previously forcing Zhang Cuishan also relied on the cooperation of the major sects to carry the momentum and the name of chivalry. Otherwise, even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to come to Zhang Sanfeng to find death.
It was just never expected that he, who was targeted, was still calm, but Kongzhi, who had been a background board for most of the day, couldn't hold back his anger and made a move on Gu Hanyuan.
