Chapter 147 Qingfeng intervenes
Zhu Chengwu was chasing Wu Se, Wu Xiang and Fang Yuan, when suddenly a huge Tai Chi shadow appeared out of nowhere.

As soon as this Tai Chi real shadow appeared, it quickly expanded, and finally pressed down on Zhu Chengwu from mid-air like a mountain.

"Qingfeng, you are finally here!"

Seeing the Tai Chi diagram appear and heading straight for Zhu Chengwu, the colorless monk's expression relaxed. As an old rival and teammate, he understood that it was the Wudang Sect's Qingfeng Taoist who had arrived, and the tacit understanding between Wudang and Shaolin continued.

However, Taoist Qingfeng came too slowly, and arrived too late!
Is this a deliberate move by the Wudang sect to weaken the Shaolin Temple?
Or was there some accident?
The colorless monk thought secretly in his heart.

"Fresh breeze~"

As the man made his move, the aura he had tried so hard to conceal was immediately exposed. Feeling this familiar aura, Zhu Chengwu also recognized the man and let out a thunderous roar.

Taoist Qingfeng had a very good grasp of the timing of his sneak attack, and he was very powerful.

As the real Tai Chi image appeared, Zhu Chengwu's spiritual senses began to jump and he kept giving warnings.

As Zhu Chengwu shouted angrily, the true energy in his body reversed, and he used the last forbidden technique at all costs - Divine Fire Nirvana!

Boom~~

Zhu Chengwu turned into a phoenix-shaped ball of fire and finally escaped from under the huge Tai Chi diagram.

puff~~

Zhu Chengwu in mid-air spat out several mouthfuls of blood, then fled in the opposite direction without looking back.

Zhu Chengwu did not say anything harsh.

Because threatening words are of no use other than strengthening Taoist Qingfeng's determination to kill.

But now Zhu Chengwu can no longer fight a great battle with a master like Taoist Qingfeng.

"Qingfeng, quickly catch up! We must not let Marquis Fu'an retreat safely like this!"

Seeing Zhu Chengwu breaking Qingfeng Taoist's Tai Chi real shadow and leaving quickly, the colorless monk shouted excitedly.

After fighting with Zhu Chengwu for four days and four nights, the Colorless Monk knew how terrifying Zhu Chengwu was.

Never let the tiger go back to the mountains!
Once Zhu Chengwu comes back, they will have no way to resist since the monk Wuwo is dead. Then the thousand-year-old Shaolin Temple may really be finished.

With Zhu Chengwu's talent, once Zhu Chengwu makes a comeback, we must also prepare a plan for Zhu Chengwu to make another breakthrough and become even stronger.

However, Taoist Qingfeng ignored the excited shouts of the Colorless Monk and just stood there silently watching Zhu Chengwu's back as he left.

The colorless monk, who could no longer bear it, flew forward and came to a place not far in front of Taoist Qingfeng.

But he saw blood oozing from the corner of Taoist Qingfeng's mouth.

puff~
Taoist Qingfeng finally couldn't bear the shaking inner Qi in his body and spat out a mouthful of blood in front of the Colorless Monk.

It turned out that Taoist Qingfeng's calmness and stillness just now was intended to intimidate and force Zhu Chengwu to retreat.

"Qingfeng, you..."

The colorless monk's eyes showed shock.

“Is it Marquis Fu’an? Although Marquis Fu’an is strong, he has been fighting with us for four days and four nights, and he has consumed a lot of energy. If Marquis Fu’an really has the strength to severely damage Qingfeng, he would never tolerate us escaping for so long! Now we are almost reaching the sphere of influence of Shaolin Temple... But if it is not Marquis Fu’an, then what’s the matter with the blood at the corner of Qingfeng’s mouth?” The Colorless Monk pondered in his heart.

"It's not Marquis Fu'an, it's Gongsun Yiyang!" Taoist Qingfeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said so.

As old rivals and teammates, Taoist Qingfeng and Monk Wu Se knew each other very well. How could Taoist Qingfeng not know what the change in Monk Wu Se's expression meant at this moment?

"Gongsun Yiyang? Hasn't he been out of the northwest for decades?"

The Colorless Monk knew very well that with Zhu Chengwu's lightness skills, even if Taoist Qingfeng was as good as him in lightness skills with his "Wudang Tiyunzong", the opportunity had been lost. When Taoist Qingfeng did not immediately set out to chase Zhu Chengwu at the beginning, he had already lost the possibility of chasing and killing Zhu Chengwu.

Therefore, the colorless monk who had lost both arms could only stay where he was and communicate more with Taoist Qingfeng to learn more information and make Wudang and Shaolin stand more closely together to deal with Zhu Chengwu's possible counterattack.

"Red Flower Ghost Mother, Madam Gongsun!"

Taoist Qingfeng uttered a name in a heavy voice.

"I see!"

Hearing this name, the Colorless Monk understood everything.

Although the three great monks Wu Se, Wu Xiang and Wu Wo had been in seclusion in the Shaolin Temple to practice the Great Wheel of Wisdom King Formation in the previous three years and had paid little attention to worldly affairs, Wu Se still knew the "big news" that the former head of Wudang, Taoist Zi Yang, was plotted against by the Red Flower Ghost Mother, and that the two great elders of Wudang had suffered setbacks after going down the mountain.

However, when he thought of the Great Wheel of Vajra Array that he had practiced in seclusion for three years, the Colorless Monk felt indescribable grief in his heart!

After three years of hard training, I made many preparations.

As a result, Marquis Fu'an did not enter Yantai Pass at all. In addition, Marquis Fu'an relied on his lightness skills to fight while walking, which made the Shaolin Temple's painstakingly prepared Bodhi formation and the refined Great Wheel Vajra King formation useless.

It also led to the death of the monk Wuwo!
If they had known this earlier, the Shaolin Temple might have attacked the Fu'an Marquis Mansion in Xuzhou City from the beginning. That way, they might have had a chance to successfully surround and kill Zhu Chengwu.

At the very least, we won’t have to pay such a painful price as we are now!

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

Sometimes it's like this, the more you want to be perfect, the more unexpected things will happen.

"Gongsun Yiyang is just an ordinary Grandmaster. Does he really have the ability to stop Senior Qingfeng?"

At this moment, Wuxiang and Fangyuan also flew to the front of Taoist Qingfeng.

Although Fang Yuan spoke calmly, who among the people present was not a shrewd person? Who could not hear the emotion in Fang Yuan's words?

The Colorless Monk originally wanted to rebuke and stop his disciple, Master Fangyuan. After all, this time he failed to eradicate the stubborn weed Zhu Chengwu. In order to deal with the threat from Zhu Chengwu in the future, Shaolin Temple needed to merge with Wudang Sect.

It is really not appropriate to offend Taoist Qingfeng now!

But then the colorless monk thought of the fact that Wudang Sect also had a lot of conflicts with Fu'an Hou Zhu Chengwu...

Moreover, Shaolin Temple cannot be too hasty, otherwise it will be at an absolute disadvantage in the merger with Wudang Sect, which is something that the Colorless Monk finds difficult to accept.

Therefore, in the end, the Colorless Divine Monk suppressed his thoughts of rebuking and stopping the Taoist Qingfeng, and used his eyes to stop his fellow disciple, the Formless Divine Monk, who was also about to open his mouth.

As both are masters, and powerful ones at that, how could Taoist Qingfeng not notice the hidden meaning in Zen Master Fangyuan's words, and how could he not sense the eye contact between the Colorless Divine Monk and the Formless Divine Monk.

But Taoist Qingfeng was not angry. He just quietly rolled up the hem of his Taoist robe.

As the hem of the Taoist robe rolled up, Wu Se, Wu Xiang and Fang Yuan immediately understood why Taoist Qing Feng did not chase after Zhu Chengwu just now.

It turned out that Taoist Qingfeng had been standing on one leg since he appeared, and the other leg had already become irregularly twisted.

"Qingfeng, your right leg..."

The moment he saw the injury on Taoist Qingfeng's leg, the Colorless Monk sensed through his master's spiritual perception the complex cold energy and the destroyed muscles, bones and meridians in Taoist Qingfeng's right leg.

This kind of injury is difficult to recover from even with the foundation of Wudang and Shaolin.

Disability is almost inevitable!

I didn't expect that while Taoist Qingfeng appeared calm on the surface, he was actually enduring such severe injuries in private.

No wonder Taoist Qingfeng has been standing still since he first appeared!
“Although Gongsun Yiyang is not well-known, his strength is not much weaker than the top ten masters in the martial arts world!
And he was desperate to keep me company, regardless of the cost! In order to get rid of him, I had to kill him!

But even if I have many Wudang secret techniques and forbidden skills, if I want to kill a master who is almost among the top ten masters in the Ming Dynasty martial arts world at all costs, the price will not be small!
After Gongsun Yiyang died, I was seriously injured.

I have a disabled leg and cannot keep up with the speed of you and Marquis Fu'an.

Knowing that you guys can switch between offense and defense, I guessed that you would return to Shaolin Temple and use the many monks in Shaolin Temple to stop Marquis Fu'an. I can only take a gamble and wait for you here!

I'm lucky, I waited for you and Marquis Fu'an.

But it's a pity...

The speed of Fu'an Hou's progress is truly terrifying, and his strength has improved a lot compared to when he was outside the Sun City. After fighting with you for four days and four nights, he was still able to resist my long-accumulated attack..."

Speaking of this, Taoist Qingfeng spoke in a heavy tone.

Taoist Qingfeng was shocked by Zhu Chengwu's speed of progress and combat effectiveness.

But now the Wudang Sect and Taoist Qingfeng have no way out.

If we say that at the beginning, Wudang only had a grudge with Marquis Fu'an because the then chief leader, Taoist Zi Yang, supported the prince and targeted the Zhao family and Marquis Fu'an's line, then now as things develop, the hatred between Wudang and Marquis Fu'an has deepened.

First, the former head of the sect was assassinated by the Red Flower Ghost Mother, and Taoist Qingfeng fought with Marquis Fu'an...

At this time, there was actually still a possibility of reconciliation between the Wudang Sect and Marquis Fu'an.

But this time, for the sake of interests and position, Wudang Sect, after much consideration, finally decided to stand on the side of Shaolin Temple and remove Zhu Chengwu, the "weed", but failed. As a result, Gongsun Yiyang, a martial arts expert who had been secretly on the side of Zhao in the past but now clearly stood on the side of Marquis Fu'an, died...

The Wudang Sect and the Fu'an Marquis faction are almost at war to the death.

Power is the way to gather people!
Grandmasters are rare.

If Marquis Fu'an could tolerate the death of his great master, it would inevitably lead to the forces and warriors who supported him becoming alienated from him.

Even though Marquis Fu'an is powerful enough to suppress the world alone.

However, the disunity among his subordinates is also a big hidden danger for Marquis Fu'an!

It was precisely because of Gongsun Yiyang's death that Taoist Qingfeng, who realized that the Wudang Sect had almost no way out, finally decided to try his luck on the way for the Shaolin monks to return to the Shaolin Temple.

After blocking the Shaolin monks and Zhu Chengwu, Taoist Qingfeng would go all out to try to keep Zhu Chengwu here and eliminate the hidden danger.

The truth is that with the death of Gongsun Yiyang, it is almost impossible for the Wudang Sect to make peace with Marquis Fu'an!
In fact, before confirming the death of Marquis Fu'an Zhu Chengwu, Taoist Qingfeng did not want to kill any important figures from Marquis Fu'an's line, let alone a master like Gongsun Yiyang.

Unfortunately, Gongsun Yiyang "doesn't know what is good for him"...

Even though he was clearly doomed to fail, he still tried hard to stop Taoist Qingfeng, and even went so far as to make Taoist Qingfeng a disabled person!
This made Taoist Qingfeng unable to contain his anger and he sent Gongsun Yiyang's soul to heaven.

After killing Gongsun Yiyang, Taoist Qingfeng calmed down and slowly reacted.

Gongsun Yiyang might have done it on purpose!
Everyone says that Gongsun Yiyang is heartless and ungrateful, and has no other pursuits in his life except martial arts.

So much so that his apprentice betrayed him and his daughter eloped!
But if you think about it carefully, if Gongsun Yiyang was really heartless and ungrateful, why would he pass on his unique skills to his daughter Gongsun Daniang, and why would he let go of his apprentice Jin Duyi who abducted his daughter?
Don’t mention Zhao and Zhao Yugang’s intervention!

If Gongsun Yiyang really made up his mind, would the profit-oriented Zhao family and Zhao Yuguang really choose the two first-rate ones between one grandmaster and two first-rate ones?

And even if Zhao and Zhao Yugang choose two top-notch people, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days if you can only steal for a thousand days?
Can Gongsun Yiyang really not find an opportunity to clean up the mess?
Also, given Gongsun Da Niang's style of doing things, the reason why she was not classified as a demon or was not killed was simply because everyone vaguely felt that Gongsun Yi Yang still had feelings for his daughter Gongsun Da Niang and they were concerned about the existence of the master Gongsun Yi Yang.

Now it seems that Gongsun Yiyang has not only vague feelings for Gongsun Daniang, but also deep feelings for her!
Not only did he confront Sizhu over Gongsun Da Niang more than two years ago.

After discovering the opportunity, he even risked his own life in battle to provide another layer of insurance for Gongsun Da Niang.

It is almost certain that Zhu Chengwu, Marquis of Fu'an, will rise to prominence.

Madam Gongsun has the support of Marquis Fu'an!
As long as the possibility of the Wudang Sect surrendering to Marquis Fu'an is completely cut off, Gongsun Da Niang's safety can be almost guaranteed.

In the final analysis, there is no irreconcilable life-and-death feud between the Wudang Sect and Marquis Fu'an himself. Taoist Mu of Mingyue Peak is a close friend of Zhao Yuguang of the Zhao family and has always supported the Zhao family and Marquis Fu'an.

Once the Wudang Sect abandons its status as the leader of the martial arts world and surrenders to Marquis Fu'an, then Marquis Fu'an will most likely accept it...

By then, given the conflicts and hatred between the Wudang Sect and Gongsun Da Niang, Gongsun Da Niang will be in danger!

Therefore, Gongsun Yiyang used his death in battle to cut off the possibility of Wudang Sect surrendering to Zhu Chengwu, and to provide an additional layer of insurance for his daughter Gongsun Daniang.

In this life...in terms of martial arts, Gongsun Yiyang has almost reached the top.

Although there is a realm of supreme master (grand master) above it, Gongsun Yiyang is nearly a hundred years old and it is almost impossible for him to achieve the realm of supreme master (grand master).

Life...Gongsun Yiyang has experienced almost everything he wanted to experience and should experience.

For Gongsun Yiyang, who is nearly a hundred years old and whose life is already in countdown, the only things he cannot let go of are his daughter Gongsun Daniang, his grandson Gongsun Lei and other descendants as well as his posthumous reputation.

Fighting a fierce battle with Taoist Qingfeng and eventually dying in battle would not only be beneficial to protecting his daughter Gongsun Daniang, his grandson Gongsun Lei and other descendants, but would also be beneficial to his own posthumous reputation. Why wouldn't Gongsun Yiyang do it?

After all, dying heroically in battle is always more beneficial to one's posthumous reputation than dying in obscurity of old age!

And speaking of future generations, we have to admire Jin Duyi.

In this era where rites and laws govern the country and clans come first, Jin Duyi actually dared to go against the world's will and let his son take his mother's surname.

This certainly made Jin Duyi the object of gossip and contempt by others, but it also allowed him to be forgiven for his betrayal of Gongsun Yiyang, allowing Gongsun Yiyang to completely stand behind his wife Gongsun Daniang and his son Gongsun Lei.

"Gongsun Yiyang is dead?"

When the three monks Wu Se, Wu Xiang and Fang Yuan heard this, they were all shocked.

The death of a master in battle and the defeat of a master in battle are two completely different concepts.

Those who can become a master are all outstanding people of the time, and all of them have one or two trump cards.

Once faced with a life-and-death crisis, they will no longer consider the consequences and gains and losses!
It must burst out with all its strength!

This is why, more than three years ago, even though Zhu Chengwu was defeated by the combined forces of the two masters, Marquis of Xibei and Duke of Yan, his status as a contemporary martial arts legend was still shaky.

Even after that, Zhu Chengwu tied with Taoist Qingfeng, who was one of the top three masters of the time, and although he secured his status as a martial arts legend, in the minds of most people, his record was not as good as Taoist Sanfeng, who once killed an ordinary evil master.

It was really that Taoist Sanfeng went against the Grand Master and killed him, which caused too much shock to the warriors of later generations!

Moreover, as the Grandmaster is the "nuclear deterrent" between major forces, the impact of the Grandmaster's death in battle is also enormous!

Now the Northwest martial arts master Gongsun Yiyang has died in battle, and the faction he belonged to…

Hmm~~
Gongsun Yiyang doesn't have any big forces behind him, so it's fine...

and many more!

Gongsun Yiyang, Gongsun Daniang, Zhao, Marquis of Fu'an...

Taoist Qingfeng is very determined!
Add to that Taoist Qingfeng's all-out sneak attack on Zhu Chengwu, Marquis of Fu'an...

It seems that Taoist Qingfeng is trustworthy!

The three monks, Wu Se, Wu Xiang and Fang Yuan, looked at each other and understood that the Wudang Sect and Taoist Qing Feng were on their side.
