Chapter 215 Cheng Kun
Ji Xiaofu ran swiftly in front to lead the way, Xin Zhen and Zhou Zhiruo took a few steps to follow behind, and Yang Buhui shouted "Hey, Hey" from behind, but her lightness skills were much worse than the other three, so she could only follow from a distance behind.
Ji Xiaofu seems to have made great progress in martial arts in recent years, and her lightness skills are quite advanced.
She was running in front, afraid that Xin Zhen and the other two would not catch up with her. She looked back and saw Xin Zhen following them leisurely.
This was nothing. Ji Xiaofu had some idea in her mind that Xin Zhen's martial arts were very advanced five or six years ago, so it was nothing that he could keep up with him. However, Zhou Zhiruo secretly surprised her.
Zhou Zhiruo's clothes fluttered, her movements were light and her steps were very small, but she never left Xin Zhen's side. From the look of her, it seemed like it was no effort at all.
Ji Xiaofu suddenly felt a desire to win, and she moved with all her strength, increasing her speed. However, Xin Zhen and Zhou Zhiruo were still following her about ten feet away as if nothing had happened, and they even had enough time to observe the scenery on the mountain.
Ji Xiaofu was now convinced.
The three of them soon arrived at Bright Summit. Xin Zhen looked around and was shocked by the hundred years of accumulation of the Ming Cult. He saw hundreds of pavilions scattered on the huge mountain, which looked quite magnificent. The Ming Cult's flags were fluttering, and the momentum of a great sect was overwhelming.
Xin Zhen nodded. Although the Ming Cult was divided into pieces, its strength had not declined. On the contrary, its strength had increased greatly compared to the period of Yang Dingtian.
Precisely because of the fragmentation, each prestigious person went out to branch out on his own.
Yang Xiao was in charge of the religious affairs. In order to compete with the White-browed Eagle King for the position of the sect leader, he vigorously developed the four sects of heaven, earth, wind and thunder.
The White-browed Eagle King left the sect in anger and turned around to found the Sky Eagle Sect. Today, the Sky Eagle Sect is also a large sect that has been able to independently fight against the six major sects.
The Five Elements Flag and its branch temples are the backbone of the rebel army. The anti-Yuan cause has been in full swing in recent years. These are the true foundation of the Ming Cult.
It can be said that the true strength of the Ming Cult is now much stronger than it was during the Yang Dingtian period, but because it was fragmented, it was unable to gather all its strength to deal with the six major sects, so it was caught off guard and almost destroyed.
Ji Xiaofu brought the two of them to a most magnificent building and went inside. When the guard saw Ji Xiaofu, he did not come to stop them.
The three of them quickly entered, only to see a gray-robed man laughing triumphantly in the hall, while Yang Xiao and the others were sitting on the ground.
When Ji Xiaofu saw this scene, she understood what was happening and immediately drew her sword and attacked the man in gray robe.
The grey-robed man sneered, let Ji Xiaofu's sword pass, and poked at Ji Xiaofu's Tanzhong acupoint. Yang Xiao was immediately anxious: "Show mercy!"
At this moment, a long sword stabbed at the gray-robed man's face from the side. The gray-robed man let out a dark cry and retreated quickly, looking at Xin Zhen who was standing with his sword put away.
The gray-robed man asked, "Who are you?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "You have been hiding in the dark and planning for decades, stirring up conflicts between the Ming Cult and the six major sects, and finally pushing the situation today, taking everyone in the world into account. How come you have such a plan that I don't even know about it?"
The gray-robed man was surprised: "Who are you? How did you know?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "My name is Zhou Yan."
The gray-robed man frowned and thought for a while before saying, "I heard that two great doctors have emerged in the Ming sect in recent years and opened a clinic by the Han River. One is called Zhou Yan and the other is called Zhou Zhiruo. It seems that you two are the ones."
Xin Zhen laughed and said, "The name I announced in the clinic is Xin Zhen. You actually know my name is Zhou Yan. You are really amazing." Wei Yixiao shouted, "Brother Zhou, this man is Shaolin monk Yuan Zhen. He just attacked us. You must take him down quickly!"
Shuo Bu De was surprised and asked, "So he is Zhou Yan, Monk Peng, was he the one who saved you back then?"
Peng Yingyu nodded and said, "Yes, it was Brother Zhou who saved me."
Zhou Dian said: "This Yuan Zhen's Phantom Yin Finger is really amazing. I'm afraid that Brother Zhou can't defeat him. It's bad!"
Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Brother Zhou is a top martial artist, he should not be afraid of this monk Yuan Zhen."
Zhou Dian shouted, "No matter how good Brother Zhou's martial arts are, he seems to be only in his early twenties. How can he compare to us? Although Yuan Zhen attacked us by surprise, this Phantom Yin Finger is extremely powerful and can seriously injure us in one go. I'm afraid that Brother Zhou can't resist this guy!"
Xin Zhen looked at Yang Xiao and the others and said with a smile: "Do you know who this Yuan Zhen is?"
Zhou Dian said: "He is a Shaolin monk, who else could he be? Baldy is just vicious!"
Monk Peng was dissatisfied when he heard this: "You pointed at the monks and called them bald donkeys, but you are pointing at me."
Zhou Dian groaned and said with a smile, "Oh, Monk Peng, I, Zhou Dian, am not saying anything bad about you. Please be magnanimous and forgive me."
Yang Xiao said: "Brother Zhou, from what you said, this Yuan really has another identity?"
Xin Zhen looked at Yuan Zhen and smiled, "Do you want to say it yourself or do you want me to say it for you? I think you'll feel more accomplished if you say it yourself."
Yuan Zhen laughed and said, "I would like to hear it from you to see whether you really know or not, and how you see my great achievements?"
Xin Zhen nodded and smiled: "Okay, then I'll speak for you."
Xin Zhen pointed at Yuan Zhen and said, "This man's name is Cheng Kun, nicknamed Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand, and he is the master of the Golden Lion King Xie Xun. He raped Xie Xun's wife, killed his parents and son, drove Xie Xun crazy, and made Xie Xun poison the martial arts world in order to stir up hatred between the Ming Cult and the six major sects.
The reason why he was eager to destroy the Ming Cult throughout his life was actually very simple. It was because his cousin married the Ming Cult leader Yang Dingtian, but he was still unwilling to accept this and had an affair with Madam Yang in a secret room. They were discovered by Master Yang, who was practicing magic at the time. Master Yang was so angry that he went insane and disappeared for decades.
And this fellow still felt that it was not enough, and he wanted to completely destroy the Ming Cult of Yang Jiaozhu in order to reduce his hatred a little."
Xin Zhen chuckled: "Cheng Kun, if you want me to comment on you, then I will say that people like you are twisted, selfish, perverted, and eccentric. I don't think you are hateful, I just think you are pitiful. Tsk tsk, you are just a pitiful person."
When Xin Zhen told Cheng Kun about his deeds, he didn't care and even had some pride. But when Xin Zhen said he was just a pitiful man, his face twisted and he said angrily, "My cousin and I were in love, but Yang Dingtian used his power to snatch my cousin away. He died, but he made my cousin die for love. How can I feel at ease if I don't destroy the Ming Cult?"
When Yang Xiao and the others heard this secret, they looked at each other in bewilderment, and then became furious.
Zhou Dian cursed angrily: "It turns out that you, a despicable villain, have caused our Ming Cult to fall apart for so many years. Damn you, you really deserve to die!"
The others also started cursing.
