Chapter 228: Restoration of Wudang
"Emperor, why is it so?"

The Zhenwu Hall at the Jinding Peak of Wudang Mountain was a place of meditation left behind by the grandmaster-level elders when the four Wudang sects split up. The newly promoted grandmaster Yun Feiyang looked at Zhu Chengwu who suddenly appeared in front of him and asked in a pleading tone.

In this world, apart from Zhu Chengwu, there is probably no one else who can make the Wudang Sect's Grand Master and Supreme Elder express a request, right?
This is the card!
This is strength!
“Yun Feiyang, you are the newly promoted Grandmaster of Wudang. I have no old grudge against you, but Wudang Sect and Taoist Qingfeng have a deep old grudge against me!
The deep hatred for killing Grandmaster Gongsun, the old grudge that prevented me from hunting down the four great masters of Shaolin...

Now that Taoist Qingfeng has passed away, the account must naturally be charged to the Wudang Sect!

I will do what I say. As long as the Wudang Sect can take three of my moves, no matter how many people are left in the Wudang Sect, for the sake of the friendship between Mu Dao Ren and my grandfather, and for the kindness that Mu Dao Ren had done his best to help me, my grievances with the Wudang Sect will be written off!"

Zhu Chengwu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and repeated his request again.

Twenty-five years ago, the efforts of Taoist Qingsong of Rihua Peak were not in vain.

His illegitimate son Yun Feiyang exceeded his expectations and goals. He was not just a junior master, but a true master.

This is a realm that even Taoist Qingsong had never reached at his peak.

It was also because Yun Feiyang achieved the realm of a true master with the help of the "Heavenly Silkworm Divine Art", the sacred art of the Rihua Peak, that Wudang Mountain was able to continue to maintain the scale of two supreme elders after Taoist Qingfeng passed away.

"Emperor, you don't have to do anything! As long as you are willing to write off the past, I, Sizhu, am willing to commit suicide here!"

After Zhu Chengwu suddenly appeared in the Zhenwu Hall, Taoist Sizhu, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke.

Taoist Sizhu was once young and energetic. He always wanted to accomplish something big and leave a significant mark in the history of Wudang and even in the history of martial arts.

To this end, Taoist Sizhu even resorted to tactics against his own people in order to push for the merger of the four Wudang sects.

But now, after nearly thirty years of changes in the world, Taoist Sizhu has changed.

He began to understand the advantages of the system in which the four Wudang sects were independent of each other, and the benefits of the four Wudang sects remaining united while still competing with each other.

Just like Zhu Chengwu's current situation, it is certain that the Taitai Peak lineage will suffer serious damage.

However, because the other three lineages did not act in unison with Taitai Peak, and even the attitude of Mingyue Peak was completely opposite to that of Taitai Peak, the Mingyue Peak lineage would definitely be saved.

As for the other Tianzhu Peak and Rihua Peak, they have a high probability of being preserved because they have always remained neutral.

In this case, even if the Taitai Peak lineage is temporarily destroyed, the overall inheritance of the Wudang Sect will not have any major problems.

The wisdom of our ancestors should not be underestimated!

In fact, the four Wudang sects are divided but not separated, and each sect must not support the agreement of the same party. The purpose of this is to deal with the current situation. Taoist Sizhu in the past understood this.

It’s just that Taoist Sizhu was too confident in the past. He felt that with his skills and abilities, he would never let Wudang fall into the situation it is today where it needs to give up a certain lineage in order to maintain the overall inheritance of Wudang.

It is a good thing for a warrior to have confidence!

It's inevitable that the Grandmaster is confident!
But the final facts still told Taoist Sizhu a reality, that is, there are always people better than you, and sometimes you should not be too confident.

Otherwise, self-confidence may turn into arrogance at some point!

Bringing destruction!

More than 20 years ago, although the only Taoist Master Qingfeng who had faced off against Zhu Chengwu head-on was the deceased Taoist Master Sizhu was not idle either.

Whenever it came to a critical moment, Taoist Sizhu would come forward to restrain Zhu Chengwu's allies, such as the Huashan Divine Sword Feng Qingyang.

Although Zhu Chengwu did not say these things out loud, both Zhu Chengwu and Taoist Sizhu knew them well.

Since Zhu Chengwu wanted to seek an explanation for what happened more than 20 years ago and make a brief summary of what happened more than 20 years ago, Taoist Sizhu would definitely not be able to escape.

In this case, it is better to fight passively rather than be killed.

Taoist Sizhu felt that it would be better for him to ask for death!
This may help retain more new generation forces for the Wudang Sect.

As time passed, Taoist Sizhu, who once only wanted to make great achievements and leave his own name in history, eventually became a compassionate elder who considered the Wudang heritage and put it first in his heart.

Taoist Qingfeng’s expectations were not in vain.

"Master Sizhu, committing suicide is not the attitude a Wudang master should have!

I still say the same thing, as long as Wudang Sect can take my three moves with all their strength, no matter what the result is, my grudge with Wudang Sect will be written off!"

Zhu Chengwu rejected Taoist Sizhu's proposal and said so.

Zhu Chengwu's purpose of coming to Wudang Mountain this time was certainly to seek revenge.

But the main purpose was not to take revenge, but to test out Zhu Chengwu's newly developed luck-enhancing move.

For Zhu Chengwu who had such an intention, isn't it funny that Taoist Sizhu committed suicide?
Zhu Chengwu not only does not want Taoist Sizhu to commit suicide, he also hopes that Taoist Sizhu can use all his strength, and even use the strongest background of Wudang, to fight Zhu Chengwu.

Only in this way can Zhu Chengwu truly test the strength and potential of his newly developed luck-enhancing moves.

Even find the flaws and weaknesses of this newly developed strategy, and then push this newly developed strategy to a higher level.

"Emperor, are you serious?"

Taoist Sizhu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yun Feiyang who asked the question first.

Yun Feiyang originally planned to act pitiful and beg for mercy in order to help Wudang escape the disaster.

But the current situation is that it is useless to act pitiful and beg for mercy, Zhu Chengwu insists that Wudang take his three moves.

Although Yun Feiyang didn't know whether Zhu Chengwu's request was simply to vent his anger or for some other purpose, he knew that Zhu Chengwu now had the absolute upper hand and his attitude was firm, with no intention of giving in at all.

In this case, Yun Feiyang felt that instead of letting Taoist Sizhu continue talking and begging, which would lose his spirit, it would be better to follow Zhu Chengwu's instructions, prepare well, and take his three moves.

Zhu Chengwu was too powerful. He first destroyed Shaolin and then overthrew the Ming Dynasty. It was indeed highly likely that Wudang was no match for Zhu Chengwu.

However, in the end of the head-on battle, Wudang was no match for Zhu Chengwu. But with Wudang's background, Yun Feiyang felt that it was still possible for them to take on Zhu Chengwu's three moves.

Although, these words might also be Zhu Chengwu's bad taste. If the Wudang Sect is lucky enough to take on Zhu Chengwu's three moves, Zhu Chengwu might go back on his words.

But this choice is the only best option Wudang can make under the current circumstances.

It has to be said that Yun Feiyang, who came from the bottom of society, has a very clear understanding of many things and his own understanding of them. In terms of behavior, he is able to put aside his pride and admit defeat, and muster up the courage to stand firm.

If there hadn't been the unexpected factor of Zhu Chengwu, Yun Feiyang would have been able to protect Wudang's inheritance for decades.

However, whether Yun Feiyang can still protect Wudang's inheritance for decades now depends on whether Wudang Sect has the ability to withstand Zhu Chengwu's three moves. "With my current status, there is no need to lie to you!

If I want to kill you and destroy Wudang, I can just do it directly without giving you time to speak or react!

The reason why I am saying so much now is that I hope you will prepare well, bring out all your strength, best condition, and strongest foundation!
Because only in this way can you take over my newly developed moves, and only in this way can I further understand the advantages and disadvantages of my new moves. "

In response to Yun Feiyang's questioning, Zhu Chengwu did not hide anything and directly stated his purpose.

For Zhu Chengwu now, there are very few things he needs to hide.

Moreover, only by making Zhu Chengwu's purpose known can he dispel some of Sizhu and Yun Feiyang's concerns and allow Sizhu and Yun Feiyang to prepare for the battle with all their strength.

“New moves?”

Yun Feiyang looked at Zhu Chengwu in surprise.

Zhu Chengwu is already so strong, but he is still not satisfied and is still developing new moves?

While Yun Feiyang was marveling at Zhu Chengwu's strong desire for progress, he couldn't help but start thinking about whether Zhu Chengwu's newly developed moves were stronger or weaker than Zhu Chengwu's existing moves, and whether they, Wudang, had the possibility to take it on.

It is probably not easy for Zhu Chengwu, the invincible martial arts legend of the time, to personally come to the Wudang Sect to try out his new moves.

Yun Feiyang was surprised, and his heart became heavy at the same time.

“I didn’t expect that Zhu Chengwu would come to Wudang Sect for such a reason!
No wonder Zhu Chengwu didn't cause trouble for the Wudang Sect before, but suddenly came to the Wudang Sect now.

It turns out that Zhu Chengwu developed a new move!
The old hatred and grudges from more than 20 years ago are probably just an excuse for Zhu Chengwu, the emperor of the new dynasty!"

When Yun Feiyang was thinking about this, Taoist Sizhu also thought of it at the same time.

Thinking of this, Taoist Sizhu felt a sense of depression rising in his heart.

It turns out that their Wudang Sect and Taoist Sizhu have such low status in the eyes of Zhu Chengwu?
Even revenge is just a by-product!

However, while feeling depressed, Taoist Sizhu also admired Zhu Chengwu.

Perhaps only someone as proficient in martial arts as Zhu Chengwu can achieve achievements comparable to or even surpass those of Master Sanfeng!

And now think about it, in the Elbrus Mountains, it was the thirteen Grandmaster Yang Shens who took the initiative to look for Zhu Chengwu for the high-level treasures of heaven and earth. When the Shaolin Temple in Songshan was destroyed, Zhu Chengwu showed his strength above the Grandmaster for the first time. This may not be Zhu Chengwu testing his moves. Not long after the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, Zhu Chengwu developed new moves. There may be a connection between them...

Looking back on these events now, Zhu Chengwu's reappearance was probably forced upon him.

Zhu Chengwu's revenge is probably just a byproduct of his continuous improvement of his martial arts skills.

But what’s the point of figuring this out now?

Zhu Chengwu has already come to the door.

The most important thing now is to find a way to deal with Zhu Chengwu's three-move challenge.

Thinking of this, Taoist Sizhu and Yun Feiyang looked at each other and decided to use all their trump cards to take on Zhu Chengwu's three moves.

Zhu Chengwu's words were still useful. At least they dispelled some of the concerns of Taoist Sizhu and Yun Feiyang, and made Taoist Sizhu and Yun Feiyang decide to do their best to take on Zhu Chengwu's three moves.

This is good news for Zhu Chengwu!
……

"The Supreme Elder!"

Just as Taoist Sizhu and Yun Feiyang activated the last resources of the Zhenwu Hall in Wudang Mountain and decided on which methods to use to deal with Zhu Chengwu's three-move challenge, the leaders, elders and other backbone forces of the four Wudang sects arrived at the Zhenwu Hall one after another.

Of course, among them are also some elite disciples who have reached the first-class level among the four Wudang sects.

"Emperor, the two supreme elders, from the head of the Wudang Taitai Peak lineage on down, there is a junior master, seven first-class people, and one Yin God, a total of nine people, and they are all here now!"

"Emperor, two supreme elders, from the head of the Wu Tianzhu Peak lineage on down, there is a junior master, two first-class and Yin Gods, eight first-class people, and two Yin Gods, a total of thirteen people, and they are all here now!"

"Emperor, the two supreme elders, from the head of the Wudang Mingyue Peak lineage on down, there are two junior masters, nine first-class people, and one Yin God, a total of twelve people, now all have arrived!"

“Emperor, two supreme elders, from the head of the Wudang Rihua Peak lineage on down, there are two junior grandmasters, one first-class and Yin God, seven first-class people, and three Yin Gods, a total of thirteen people, and they are all here now!”

The Taitai Peak lineage inherited from Song Yuanqiao, the Tianzhu Peak lineage founded by Yu Lianzhou, the Mingyue Peak lineage passed down by Yu Daying, and the Rihua Peak lineage established by Zhang Songxi, all 47 masters of the four Wudang lineages who were first-rate Yin Shen and above, arrived at the Zhenwu Hall of Wudang Mountain.

I have to say that Zhu Chengwu’s deterrent power is really strong now!

But at the same time, we have to sigh that Wudang Sect’s education is excellent and Wudang disciples have a strong sense of belonging to the Wudang Sect.

Among all the first-rate Yin God masters and above from the four Wudang sects, not a single one deserted, even though they knew that once they arrived at the Zhenwu Hall and faced Zhu Chengwu, their lives would be in danger.

Of course, perhaps there was also the fact that after Zhu Chengwu spent half a month targeting and killing all the Fang clan members and close relatives in the Ming Dynasty, everyone realized that it was useless to escape when facing Zhu Chengwu.

Rather than running away and being caught up by Zhu Chengwu, it is better to die on your knees!
It’s better to just be like this, be stronger and fearless, and die standing.

"There are forty-seven disciples from the Four Sects, plus the two of us, which makes a total of forty-nine people. The Four Sects disciples, with Brother Sizhu and I as the core, will form the Yin-Yang formation."

Looking at the righteous disciples of the four sects in front of him, Yun Feiyang, who felt that people were trustworthy, began to make arrangements.

And the number forty-nine gave Yun Feiyang even more confidence!
Everyone has arrived, and there are exactly forty-nine people. Yun Feiyang couldn't help but feel that it was a blessing from God and the ancestors!
The positive and negative yin and yang formation composed of forty-nine people was what Yun Feiyang and Taoist Sizhu had just been thinking about. It was the most powerful and most reliable means to take on Zhu Chengwu's three moves.

Although Wudang also emphasizes the order of seniority, but in the current situation, Yun Feiyang understood that it would be much more appropriate for him, the newly promoted supreme elder who had never had any intersection with Zhu Chengwu, to make arrangements rather than letting Sizhu, the elder who had conflicts with Zhu Chengwu, to make arrangements.

Human hearts are often not controlled by reason!
"Yes, Elder Yun!"

Hearing Yun Feiyang's words, the four meridians masters who were mentally prepared began to take their positions.

Although the Wudang Yin-Yang Formation, which is based on forty-seven first-rate Yin gods and has two grandmasters as the core, has never been deployed in practice in the hundreds of years of Wudang history, the theory is not lacking!

Furthermore, the people present here are all high-ranking officials and elites from various Wudang factions. They are no strangers to the Wudang Yin-Yang Formation.

In addition, due to the high speed of thinking brought about by their level of strength, they were able to quickly set up the positive and negative yin and yang formation.

Of course, there is another important reason why the Wudang people were able to set up the positive and negative yin and yang formation so quickly and smoothly.

That is because Zhu Chengwu did not intervene to stop it.
