Chapter 109 Defeat
Wen Xuan had noticed Xin Zhen a long time ago, and was wondering why there was a male disciple in Hengshan Sect. When he heard him ask this, Wen Xuan immediately said, "The Sect Master has already gone to Shaolin to provide support, and is now in Shaolin Temple. Brother, are you also from Hengshan Sect?"

Xin Zhen ignored Wen Xuan and turned back to Master Ding Jing and said, "Master, the Shaolin Master is in urgent need. You take the disciples to join other sects. I will sneak into Shaolin first to see if there is anything I can do to help."

Master Dingjing clasped her hands together and said, "Junior Brother Xin, everything is going well!"

Xin Zhen nodded and ran away quickly.

Wen Xuan and Master Ding Jing asked, "Master, who is this young man?"

Master Dingjing said, "He is the great hero Xin Zhenxin from the Huashan Sect."

Wen Xuan was startled and asked, "He is Xin...Xin Tanhua?"

Seeing Wen Xuan's shocked look, Master Ding Jing couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong?"

Wen Xuan stammered, "Ah, no, nothing, Master Dingjing, you and the other sisters please follow me."

When Master Dingjing saw Wen Xuan's appearance, she knew there must be some hidden story, but it was not easy to ask, so she called all the disciples to follow Wen Xuan to Taishi Mountain.

Xin Zhen had already arrived at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain. As soon as he arrived, two people jumped out from the side of the road and shouted, "Stop!"

Xin Zhen looked at the two men. Both of them were wearing the black clothing of the Sun Moon Sect. It seemed that the Shaolin Temple was really surrounded by the Sun Moon Sect.

Xin Zhen did not stop, but suddenly rushed forward. The two men shouted hurriedly and drew out their machetes to stop him. Xin Zhen rushed past without stopping, and the two men behind him knelt on the ground.

Suddenly, many people rushed out from the mountain road ahead.

Seeing that there were so many people around and he didn't want to get entangled, Xin Zhen rushed into the forest and used the trees to escape.

Then he climbed up the steep slope. With his strong internal strength and the Golden Goose Kung Fu that made him good at climbing, he soon reached the other side of the Shaolin Temple.

"who!"

As soon as Xin Zhen showed his head, someone shouted loudly. Xin Zhen looked at the person. The leader was a monk, followed by a dozen warrior monks holding sticks.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Master Jueyue, how are you?"

When Jueyue saw Xin Zhen, she immediately asked happily, "Is it Xin Tanhua?"

Xin Zhen jumped out, landed lightly on the ground, and said with a smile: "It's me. I didn't expect to return to Shaolin so soon."

Jueyue clasped his hands together and said sincerely: "Shaolin is at the brink of life and death. Thank you, Master Xin, for coming to our aid."

Xin Zhen laughed: "Don't call me donor, I don't have any extra money to give."

Jueyue smiled and said, "Mr. Xin, you are joking. Please follow me. I will take you to see Abbot Fangzheng. Abbot Fangzheng is discussing with the leaders of various sects in the Dharma Hall how to repel the enemy."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "I came here in a hurry and don't know what's going on. Master Jueyue, can you tell me about it first?"

Jueyue said quickly, "It's only right. Half a month ago, several people suddenly came to our temple. They were all injured and insisted on meeting the abbot of our temple. Can you guess who they are, Mr. Xin?"

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "Ren Woxing?"

Jueyue nodded and said, "That's right. One is the former leader of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, Ren Woxing. One is the Saint Lady of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, Ren Yingying. The other is the Right Envoy of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, Xiang Wentian. The leader of the sect, Ren, is seriously injured and dying. If it weren't for the abbot's rescue, he would have died long ago."

Xin Zhen nodded and pretended not to care, "How are the injuries of the other two?"

Jueyue said, "Miss Ren suffered internal injuries, but it's not serious. Xiang Youshi lost one eye, but the rest is fine." Xin Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why did they come to Shaolin Temple? They are members of the Demon Sect. By coming to Shaolin Temple, aren't they walking into a trap?"

Jue Yue whispered, "It seems that Master Ren led his men to the Black Wood Cliff to assassinate Dongfang Bubai, hoping to regain power, but failed and fled in panic. When he had nowhere to escape, he ran to Shaolin to seek refuge."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Since this is the internal affairs of the Demon Cult, throw them out to Dongfang Bubai and they will naturally withdraw. Why bother to fight Dongfang Bubai for them?"

Jueyue clasped his hands together and bowed his head, saying: "These are beyond the understanding of this little monk. The abbot must have his reasons for keeping them here."

Xin Zhen laughed softly and said, "What you said is not entirely true. You clearly have an opinion in your heart, but you insist that you don't understand."

Jue Yue looked at Xin Zhen helplessly, and seeing that there was no one around, he whispered, "Xin Shaoxia, Master Fang Sheng told me to tell you that you should not be anxious about anything. If you have any decisions to make, you can find him first."

Xin Zhen's face suddenly became solemn. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Jueyue smiled and said in a clear voice, "Donor Xin, please follow me."

Jueyue took Xin Zhen through a series of checkpoints and came to the outside of the Bodhidharma Hall. Jueyue spoke a few words to the monk guarding the door, and the monk went in to report. After a while, Master Fangsheng came out and saw Xin Zhen, with both joy and worry on his face.

Fang Sheng put his hands together and said, "Xin Shaoxia, please follow me."

Xin Zhen bowed slightly and said, "Master Fang Sheng, please lead the way."

Master Fang Sheng stepped aside and said, "Please."

Xin Zhen followed Master Fang Sheng, who whispered, "Miss Ren is safe and sound, Young Master Xin, please do not act rashly."

Xin Zhen looked at Fang Sheng in surprise. Fang Sheng smiled bitterly and whispered, "Wubagang."

Xin Zhen was shocked. He thought Fang Sheng didn't know, but it turned out that he had known for a long time that Yingying was in the straw hut. As expected, none of these big shots were fools.

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "What if I must take her away?"

Master Fang Sheng's face became even more worried, and he whispered, "It's more dangerous outside, and if Young Master Xin insists on doing this, it will be hard to explain to the other sect leaders. Why don't we wait until time passes, and then I will explain the matter to Fang Zhenghao and let Miss Ren go."

Xin Zhen asked: "How long will it take for this situation to change?"

Master Fang Sheng said, "It could be as long as ten years, or as short as five years. If it's too short, it would be hard for our temple to explain."

Xin Zhen paused for a moment, shook his head and said, "Master Fang Sheng, please lead the way."

Master Fang Sheng sighed slightly and said, "Young man, you have a bright future..."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Thank you Master Fang Sheng for your concern, but I have my own ideas on this matter."

Fang Sheng said no more, and took Xin Zhen through two corridors to the entrance of Damo Hall. Fang Sheng said, "Master, Young Master Xin is here."

Fang Zheng's voice came from inside, saying, "Please invite Young Master Xin in."

Fang Sheng stepped aside and invited Xin Zhen to come in, and Xin Zhen strode in.

There was a golden plaque hanging in the middle of the Bodhidharma Hall, with the words "Qingliang Realm" inscribed on it. There were about ten people standing under the plaque.

Xin Zhen looked over and recognized Master Fang Sheng, Zuo Lengchan, Yue Buqun and his wife, Yu Canghai, Taoist Tianmen, Master Dingyi and others, but he didn't quite recognize some of the others.
