Chapter 253 Arrogant
As soon as Du'e said this, the heroes from all factions looked at each other in surprise.
This doesn't make sense. Xie Xun is the public enemy of the martial arts world. Everyone has been looking for him for more than ten or twenty years. You, Shaolin, captured Xie Xun right away, and then said you wanted to take the Dragon Slaying Sword as well. This is really unreasonable.
Now the Vajra Demon Subduing Formation is set up, which is obviously to subdue people by force.
He Taichong was so angry that he shouted to Kongtong Sect: "Elder Guan, let's work together to break this demon-suppressing circle..."
Xin Zhen suddenly listened attentively, then smiled and said to Zhou Zhiruo, "Wait for me for a moment."
Then he leaped onto a roof like a roc. An old monk was lying on the roof. Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Cheng Kun, long time no see!"
Cheng Kun looked at Xin Zhen in astonishment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Yan, it's you again!"
Xin Zhen shook his head and smiled, "This plan you set up is not very smart. Come on, follow me to see Sandu."
Cheng Kun was not willing to surrender, so he raised his hand and slapped Xin Zhen. Xin Zhen was too lazy to argue with Cheng Kun, so he moved to Cheng Kun's side, stretched out his hand and grabbed the back of Cheng Kun's neck, squeezing it gently, and Cheng Kun's whole body suddenly stiffened.
Xin Zhen carried Cheng Kun down the stairs.
Xin Zhen suddenly appeared with an old monk in his arms, which immediately attracted the attention of many people, especially those from Shaolin Temple. Du'e asked in surprise, "Zhou Yan, why are you holding my nephew Yuan Zhen?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Xie Xun, I brought you the Cheng Kun you wanted."
Xie Xun excitedly asked, "Cheng Kun! Cheng Kun! Is that you?"
Cheng Kun shouted, "Uncle Taishi, save me, save me!"
"Cheng Kun! Cheng Kun! It's really you! It's really you!" Xie Xun roared.
Xin Zhen said in a clear voice: "This monk Yuan Zhen is Xie Xun's master Cheng Kun, nicknamed Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand.
I would like to inform the three old Zen masters that Cheng Kun’s junior sister is the wife of Yang Dingtian, the leader of the Ming Cult.
Cheng Kun has always had feelings for his junior sister, and because of his feelings, he became jealous, and finally formed a deep hatred with the Ming Cult..."
Xin Zhen tells the story in detail how Cheng Kun deliberately tried to destroy the Ming Cult, how he had an affair with Madam Yang and thus killed Yang Dingtian, how he pretended to be drunk and raped Xie Xun's wife and killed his entire family, how he forced Xie Xun to kill martial artists, how he worshipped the monk Kongjian as his master and induced Kongjian to receive thirteen punches from Xie Xun, and how he broke his promise and caused Kongjian to die in regret.
The more Du'e and the other three monks listened, the more frightened they became. These things seemed unbelievable, yet they were all reasonable and fit in with the times.
Du'e sighed, "So this is how Yang Dingtian died?"
Xin Zhen said: "Today, everyone gathered at Zhou's house, even the Three Divine Monks came. This should be the push of this official. The purpose is not only to provoke the relationship between the righteous sect and the Ming Cult, but also to provoke the relationship between the six major sects."
Cheng Kun shouted, "You are slandering me. I have never done these things!"
Du'e frowned and said, "Yuan Zhen, is what Zhou Yan said true?"
Cheng Kun said, "This is slander. I have never done these things. Since I entered Shaolin, I have been practicing wholeheartedly. How could I do such things?" Xie Xun roared, "Cheng Kun! Do you dare to admit that you killed my parents, wife and children?"
Cheng Kun sighed and said, "My dear disciple, I am so kind to you, how could I kill your parents, wife and children? You misunderstood me."
Just as Xie Xun was about to speak, Xin Zhen suddenly said, "Divine Monk Du'e, you have been living in seclusion in the back mountains of Shaolin for many years. How did you come out this time?"
The monk Du'e was stunned for a moment and said, "Master Brother Yuanzhen asked us to come out."
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Du'e Divine Monk, you can think about how Yuan Zhen came to be a disciple of Shaolin and what happened during this period. You only need to connect the dots and you will know the truth."
Du'e groaned and pondered. He remembered that he had an enmity with Yang Dingtian, and Cheng Kun had done a lot for him. Later, Cheng Kun begged him to be his disciple, but he never accepted disciples, so he recommended him to be his disciple, Kong Jian. So, was it his intentional arrangement?
Du'e suddenly raised his eyes and said, "Since Yuan Zhen entered Shaolin, he has always been law-abiding and has not done anything excessive. Zhou Yan, are you mistaken?"
Xin Zhen chuckled. It seemed that the old monk was planning to protect Cheng Kun for the sake of Shaolin's reputation.
Yang Xiao suddenly said: "I can testify that Cheng Kun was the man behind the six major sects' attack on the Ming Cult..."
Yang Xiao recounted in detail what happened before the six major sects attacked Bright Summit. He had excellent eloquence and made many of the details come alive. The heroes thought that if they were to make it up on the spot, they would not be able to make it so detailed. So this must be the case.
Yang Xiao finished his story in one breath, and then said: "I think this is another conspiracy of Cheng Kun. This time it is the wedding of Zhou Xia, but Xie Xun suddenly appeared here. It happened that we, the Ming Cult, were here, and you were able to surround us in time. Don't you think it is a coincidence?
Xie Xun is a member of our Ming Cult. We certainly cannot watch Xie Xun being slaughtered by you. Then there will definitely be a conflict between the Ming Cult and the six major sects. This is another time when the six major sects besiege the Ming Cult. Tell me, is this really such a coincidence?"
Yang Xiao's words immediately made the heroes think deeply.
They recalled how they got the news. Someone was specially delivering the news in secret at night, so they rushed here. Now thinking about it, there seemed to be many doubts here.
But if we connect the doubts with what Zhou Yan and Yang Xiao said, it becomes a very rigorous fact.
Kunlun He Taichong sneered, "So there was a traitor in Shaolin. How ridiculous! Even so, Shaolin still claims to be upright and wants to take the Dragon Slaying Sword into the temple. Isn't it treating everyone in the world as a fool?"
Guan Neng, the eldest of the Five Elders of Kongtong, said, "Divine Monk Du'e, you Shaolin should deal with your internal affairs first, otherwise you will be used as a borrowed knife to kill someone else."
Du'e shook his head and said, "How can we trust the words of the evil people of the Ming Cult? Zhou Yan, put nephew Yuan Zhen down. This matter has nothing to do with you."
The faces of the Ming Cult people suddenly changed color. They had previously agreed to Zhang Sanfeng to rescue the people from the six major sects, but now Du'e still called them monsters from the evil cult. This was really insulting.
Even Zhang Sanfeng couldn't keep calm now. He was the one who invited the Ming Cult to help, and now Shaolin is in such a state. This is a slap in his face.
Zhang Sanfeng said, "Du'e Divine Monk, what you said is not fair. Before, the righteous men of the Ming Cult saved our six major sects. Although their style of doing things is different from ours, they saved people and fought against the Yuan Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to call them righteous men. They are definitely not demons from the evil sect."
Du'e looked at Zhang Sanfeng and said, "Master Zhang, how should we Shaolin behave? We have our own rules. Whether the Ming Cult is a demon or not, we Shaolin can also judge for ourselves."
Zhang Sanfeng was blocked all of a sudden. Yu Lianzhou and others were furious when they saw Du'e's rudeness.
