Chapter 151: Peerless Strongman Zhang Jie
"What?
Jie, the peerless strongman who broke into the Ruyang Prince's Mansion before was actually you?"
Yu Lianzhou was shocked again and again.
He felt that the number of times he had been shocked in the past ten years wasn't as many as in this one day.
Zhang Jie had brought him several surprises today.
The first surprise was bringing back such a beautiful and capable disciple-in-law, Zhou Zhiruo.
The second surprise was finding Zhang Wuji, who had been drifting in the Jianghu for many years and whom they suspected was no longer in the world,
allowing them to give an account to Fifth Junior Brother Zhang Cuishan in the underworld.
The third surprise was finding the Black Jade Intermittent Paste, a miraculous medicine
that could heal Third Junior Brother Yu Daiyan, who had been paralyzed for many years and had become his heartache.
The fourth surprise, breaking into the Ruyang Prince's Mansion at night, was no longer a surprise, but a fright.
No matter how precarious and crumbling the Great Yuan was,
at this time, it was still undoubtedly the number one power in the world.
And as its capital and brain, Dadu was naturally a crucial place watched by all forces in the world.
Wudang, as one of the six largest sects in the Jianghu, naturally also had eyes and ears in Dadu.
They didn't need to inquire about any too confidential news,
just inquire about some widely known news;
after all, Wudang was ultimately just a Jianghu sect and had no ambition to contend for the world.
And aside from the Imperial Palace where the Emperor lived, the Ruyang Prince, who held the position of Grand Marshal of the World's Armies,
and had the power to mobilize the Great Yuan's armies, was located at the Ruyang Prince's Mansion,
which was naturally the place second most watched by other forces in the world.
And before, Wudang's eyes and ears in Dadu reported an explosive piece of news:
A peerless strongman broke into the Ruyang Prince's Mansion at night, killed and injured countless experts of the Ruyang Prince's Mansion,
and afterwards, it was said that he retreated unscathed!
Although under the full blockade of the Ruyang Prince's Mansion, it was difficult for Wudang's spies to know
which experts of the Ruyang Prince's Mansion were injured and which were killed,
but many of the famous experts of the Ruyang Prince's Mansion didn't appear afterwards!
For example, the Eight Heroes of the Divine Arrow, who had besieged and killed several first-class experts with an arrow formation.
Even the signboard of the Ruyang Prince's Mansion, the Xuanming Elders, who were vaguely the strongest experts
suppressing the world for the Great Yuan, didn't appear!
Of course, no one thought the Xuanming Elders died in the invasion of that unknown strongman,
after all, they were experts who could rank in the top ten in the world, and there were few people in the world who could kill them;
but because they hadn't appeared for a long time,
the informants guessed that the Xuanming Elders must have been seriously injured and had to urgently go into seclusion to heal,
without even the leisure to show their faces to show their existence and stabilize people's hearts!
It is said that since then, the guards of the Imperial Palace have increased by at least double,
and even the Tibetan and Mongolian Tantric monks who were cultivating in the temples in Dadu entered the Imperial Palace in the name of praying for the Emperor,
Empress, and Empress Dowager, surrounding the sleeping quarters of the Emperor, Empress, and other nobles day and night.
During this period, the lights in the Imperial Palace were not extinguished all night,
and the consumption of candles was more than ten times that of normal days.
Whether this was for praying or to prevent that peerless strongman from breaking into the Imperial Palace at night
to assassinate the Emperor was self-evident.
The rebel armies of the world were also boiling over this news; they released word that
they were willing to worship this peerless strongman as the General Alliance Master,
to jointly overthrow the Great Yuan, expel the Tatars, and restore China!
Unfortunately, that peerless strongman had disappeared since breaking into the Ruyang Prince's Mansion at night,
and no matter how the various forces searched or called out, there was no news.
It was unknown whether he wasn't interested in these messages, or if he had suffered some hidden injury and was in seclusion healing.
Since then, various forces frantically sent spies into the Ruyang Prince's Mansion,
hoping to get more detailed information about that peerless strongman.
Not seeking to gain the favor of that peerless strongman, but seeking not to violate his taboos,
so as not to be visited by him in the middle of the night to have their heads taken.
Yu Lianzhou couldn't believe that Zhang Jie, who was honest and obedient in front of him,
would be that peerless strongman famous throughout the world.
Not to mention anything else, just the age didn't match!
Zhang Jie was not yet twenty this year, while his master,
the true martial arts Sanfeng Zushi who could sweep the world,
the sloppy Taoist Zhang Sanfeng, was invincible in the world only after he was forty!
Could it be that Zhang Jie's talent was several times, dozens of times higher than Zhang Sanfeng's?
'Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!'
Yu Lianzhou instantly cast this guess to the back of his mind.
Who was his master Zhang Sanfeng?
That was a martial arts Sanfeng Zushi comparable to the Bodhidharma Patriarch of Shaolin Temple!
"Cough, cough."
Zhang Jie coughed twice and said indifferently:
"Master, if there is no one else who broke into the Ruyang Prince's Mansion at night,
then the peerless strongman you are talking about is probably, should be, maybe me."
"You brat, do you think the Ruyang Prince's Mansion is so easy to break into?"
Looking at Zhang Jie's appearance of having gained an advantage and still acting like a brat, Yu Lianzhou couldn't laugh or cry.
Not to mention other guards, military equipment, etc., just the experts the Ruyang Prince recruited
were absolutely not inferior to any of the six major sects in the Jianghu.
Otherwise, the Ruyang Prince, as the Grand Marshal of the World's Armies of the Great Yuan,
had wiped out countless rebel armies and offended countless Jianghu experts,
and he would have been assassinated by these experts long ago.
Was it that those experts didn't want to?
It was clearly that they couldn't do it!
Many experts wanted to assassinate the Ruyang Prince, but those who dared to implement it all died!
Zhang Jie spread his hands; he really didn't feel that breaking into the Ruyang Prince's Mansion at night was difficult.
It was just that he didn't have the idea of a massacre,
otherwise, the time until the Yuan court's army arrived would have been enough for him to wipe out the Ruyang Prince's Mansion.
Zhang Jie: Jie doesn't like to fight in his life, only likes to resolve fights~
Accusations from the Xuanming Elders, A'er, and others:
You don't like to fight, then what are we who were sucked dry of our cultivation and then killed?
"What?
Jie is that peerless strongman who broke into the Ruyang Prince's Mansion at night?"
At this time, the other Wudang heroes, Song Yuanqiao, Zhang Songxi,
Yin Liting, and others, who came to see him specifically after hearing Zhang Jie returned to the mountain, also received this explosive news, and one by one they fell into a stupor.
This news was too explosive, directly blowing their brains dizzy.
Not to mention the world-shaking effect caused by that peerless strongman breaking into the Ruyang Prince's Mansion at night.
If one really wanted to find someone in the Jianghu who could enter the Ruyang Prince's Mansion and retreat unscathed,
only their master, the founder of the Wudang Sect, Zhang Sanfeng Zhang Zhenren, could convince the public.
That is to say, Zhang Jie's martial arts could at least be on par with their master Zhang Zhenren.
What's even more terrifying is that even their master Zhang Zhenren was invincible in the world only after sixty years, but Zhang Jie?
He was only twenty years old this year!
This could no longer be described as a genius;
this was either a god descended to earth or a monster reincarnated!
And from Zhang Jie's previous performance, the possibility of a god descended to earth and enlightened in one morning was very high!
After all, he couldn't even beat Song Qingshu before.
"Jie, tell Junior Uncle, how did you do this?"
Mo Shenggu, who was sturdy and extraordinary, with a full beard, who was the youngest among the seven heroes,
with a straightforward and upright personality, mature for his age, and expressive and flamboyant emotions,
and who was more like a brother to Zhang Jie and other third-generation disciples
than a junior uncle, crowded to Zhang Jie's side and asked curiously.
A mischievous smile appeared on Zhang Jie's face:
"Seventh Junior Uncle, do you really want to know?"
"Of course!"
Mo Shenggu nodded firmly, definitely, and surely.
Other Wudang people like Song Yuanqiao and Yin Liting also pricked up their ears.
This secret of martial arts advancing by leaps and bounds, which Jianghu person wouldn't be curious?
Only Yu Lianzhou was hesitant; this secret didn't look like something that could be widely told.
However, seeing the excited look of the junior brothers,
and Zhang Jie's appearance of wanting to confide, he didn't stop him.
He believed that Zhang Jie knew the importance and knew what could be said and what could not be said.
Only Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo, who knew how mischievous Zhang Jie was, felt something was wrong.
Then they heard Zhang Jie's firm voice:
"My martial arts are all practiced by myself with hard work!"
"Junior Uncles, Senior Uncle, there is no shortcut to martial arts; it is accumulated bit by bit with sweat!"
Zhang Jie said passionately and gave a thumbs up to the Wudang crowd.
"Ah! My 24K titanium dog eyes!"
Zhang Wuji only felt a dazzling sunlight reflected from Zhang Jie's white, ivory-like teeth
almost blinding his dog eyes.
And Zhou Zhiruo covered her mouth and giggled on the side.
Facing Zhang Jie's nonsense, Yu Lianzhou couldn't laugh or cry, and he scolded sternly:
"Jie, as a junior, how can you tease your elders like this?
Hurry up and apologize!"
Zhang Jie blinked his eyes innocently and spread his hands:
"Master, I didn't lie; this is the truth of my martial arts advancing by leaps and bounds."
Zhang Jie: Just say whether Zhang Jie from other worlds is Zhang Jie or not?
If someone says no, Zhang Jie welcomes him to communicate and argue with the unknown big shot who built the Shared Space
and sent Zhang Jies to the Myriad Realms of the Cosmos.
And although Zhang Jie obtained the "North Dark Divine Art" that can take others' inner energy for his own use from the Tian Long Ba Bu world,
aside from the little bit that Wuyazi gave him,
the other cultivation was all obtained by Zhang Jie killing the Four Great Evils,
breaking into the Ruyang Prince's Mansion, etc., and was the condensation of his hard work bit by bit.
He, Zhang Jie, has today's cultivation, all relying on his own efforts! ===== CHAPTER 152 =====
It was obtained by entering the Prince Ruyang's mansion and other such places at night; every bit of it was the condensation of his life's blood.
That he, Zhang Jie, had his current cultivation was entirely due to his own efforts!
