Chapter 385

"Damn it, why haven't the people from the Gusu Murong family arrived yet?"

"Wasn't it said that they would use this Wu Lin Assembly to resolve the grievances of the Jianghu?"

"Could it be that the people of the Gusu Murong family are too afraid to come?"

"Actually, I don't care about those Jianghu grievances anymore; what I care about more is the Martial God!"

"Martial God? What does that have to do with the Wu Lin Assembly?"

"You don't know? Seven days ago, a major event happened at Leigu Mountain!"

"I heard the Martial God arrived at Leigu Mountain, taught Murong Fu a lesson, killed Ding Chunqiu, and even declared..."

"On the ninth day of the ninth month, he is coming to Shaolin to expose Shaolin's despicable face!"

"No way? The Martial God is going to lock horns with Shaolin?"

"When the time comes, who are we helping?"

"Nonsense, of course we help Shaolin. Shaolin has many people and great influence; they are the North Star of the Wu Lin. What does a Martial God have to fight Shaolin with?"

"I'm definitely helping the Martial God. The Martial God preached at Mount Huashan; his merits will last for a thousand autumns!"

"Besides, the Martial God's strength is invincible in the world."

"In the Jianghu, have you ever seen anyone who had a grudge against the Martial God still alive?"

"Even the imperial court has to back down!"

"For Shaolin to offend the Martial God is truly foolish!"

The heroes discussed it heatedly.

They had gathered here to investigate the deaths of the Beggar Gang Leader and the high monk of Shaolin.

As a result, they heard the news that the Martial God was also coming to Shaolin on the ninth day of the ninth month.

For a time, the heroes were divided into three factions.

One faction supported Shaolin, one supported the Martial God, and one chose to wait and see.

Yet, while waiting, the protagonist never appeared.

"You say Murong Fu was miserably toyed with by the Martial God."

"With his face swept clean, is he too afraid to come?"

Some martial artists were getting impatient.

"Who says I'm too afraid to come!"

Just then, a low voice rang out.

Everyone looked over upon hearing this, only to see Murong Fu and his retainers stepping forward.

Having been teased and toyed with by Xiao Mochen, he had indeed been decadent.

However, guided by a man in grey, Murong Fu came after all.

This time, he had to clear his name and even join forces with Shaolin to intercept Xiao Mochen.

"Amitabha, Benefactor Murong has arrived."

"Then, we only need to wait for Leader Qiao!"

Xuan Ci chanted a Buddhist name.

"I am here!"

A voice filled with heroic spirit rang out, and Qiao Feng was seen stepping forward.

At the same time, Duan Yu of the Dali Duan family arrived with him.

"Shaolin is truly lively today!"

"I wonder how many old friends I can still see!"

Another voice rang out.

A group of martial artists was seen arriving at the mountain gate.

"Zhao Qiansun, Tan Gong, and Tan Po?"

"Is that Master Zhi Guang?"

"Haven't these people long since retired from the Jianghu?"

Hong Marvelous technique frowned.

These people had all once been on good terms with the Beggar Gang.

He hadn't expected them all to appear at this moment; could they have all come for the death of Leader Wang?

This was giving too much face!

Just then, however.

Another voice rang out.

"Lady Ma of the Beggar Gang has arrived!"

Everyone looked over upon hearing this, only to see Quan Guanqing leading a group of Beggar Gang disciples carrying a sedan chair.

"The widow, Lady Ma, pays respects to all the seniors of the Wu Lin!"

"I dared not step onto this pure land of Buddhism, but there are those in my Beggar Gang with wolfish ambitions!"

"To seek justice for my late husband, and for the safety of the Nine Provinces, Lady Ma had to come!"

Inside the sedan chair, a voice as soft as could be rang out.

This voice was gentle and delicate.

It also carried a thousand charms; truly, without seeing the person, just by the sound of her voice, one could already feel that she must be a woman of a thousand charms.

"Lady Ma has a kind heart!"

Xuan Ci chanted a Buddhist name.

Yet at this very moment, another voice rang out.

"What, what is that?"

"What a huge bird!"

Everyone looked over upon hearing this; in the sky, a giant bird radiating flames was actually flying toward them.

"Could this, could this be the legendary Fire Phoenix!"

"Look quickly, there is someone on the bird's back!"

"My god, to think someone can actually tame a Fire Phoenix, this is truly incredible!"

"It's the Martial God Xiao Mochen!"

"Martial God Xiao Mochen, he really came. He wasn't just blowing hot air?"

The heroes exclaimed, their eyes filled with disbelief.

And under the gaze of the masses, the Fire Phoenix was seen circling above the Great Heroic Treasure Hall.

The next moment, Xiao Mochen descended gracefully with the women, like an immortal appearing in the world, his elegance unparalleled.

"It's quite lively today!"

"However, you all go ahead and get busy; I will discuss my karma with Shaolin in a moment!"

Xiao Mochen chuckled, then directly took out a few jugs of wine, melon seeds, and fruit.

Accompanied by the women, he began to eat directly.

That day, after Wang Yuyan inherited the Xiaoyao Sect from Wu Yazi, Xiao Mochen had originally wanted to take her to the Lingjiu Palace.

But with the ninth day of the ninth month, there were only a few days left.

For this reason, Xiao Mochen decided to come to Shaolin first to find Shi Zhixuan, and visit the Lingjiu Palace later...

In this light and breezy manner, it seemed as if Shaolin was just a farce.

And he, standing outside the matter, was just a spectator.

Such actions truly treated the people of the world as nothing.

This made the heroes feel angry.

Yet, not a single person dared to step forward to refute him.

The Martial God's reputation was one truly carved out through slaughter.

Whoever became an enemy of the Martial God was on a path to death.

"Everyone, since everyone has arrived."

"Then let us begin this Wu Lin Assembly!"

Following Xuan Ci's Buddhist chant.

The Wu Lin Assembly officially began. ===== CHAPTER 386 =====
