Chapter 18 One is enough
"and many more!"
Chu Yuan walked down the platform and was about to return to his seat when he was stopped by someone.
Chu Yuan stopped and turned to look.
He found that the person who called him was a young man of about 27 or 28 years old, wearing a dark black cloak with red patterns embroidered on the cuffs and lapels, his hair tied into a short bun with a golden headband, and a short beard. He was very imposing and had a domineering look. He was standing up and looking at him sharply.
Although the other party was young, even younger than his senior brother Yu Canghai, he was able to sit at the same table with the leaders of the major sects. Chu Yuan guessed his identity in his heart.
It should be either Zuo Lengchan or Yue Buqun!
“But the other party’s appearance and temperament do not look like Yue Buqun. It is completely different from Yue Buqun’s gentlemanly appearance. The other party must be Zuo Lengchan.”
Chu Yuan said in his heart.
"I wonder if you have any advice for me?"
After guessing the other party's identity, Chu Yuan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Although the other party is the leader of Songshan Sect, he is also the junior brother of Yu Canghai, the leader of Qingcheng Sect.
Strictly speaking, he and Zuo Lengchan were of the same generation, and since they were from different sects, Chu Yuan was not very respectful to Zuo Lengchan.
"I am Zuo Lengchan, the head of the Songshan Sect. I watched Taoist Master Chu compete with Young Master Lin just now, and I couldn't wait to show off my skills..."
The sharpness in Zuo Lengchan's eyes flashed away, and his face looked very kind.
"Zuo Lengchan, are you trying to bully the weak?"
Zuo Lengchan was interrupted by Yu Canghai before he could finish his words. Yu Canghai suddenly stood up, looking imposing and stern.
It seemed that if Zuo Lengchan showed any intention of bullying the weak, he would beat him up.
"Master Yu, you misunderstood me. I wanted to have Master Chu and my useless junior brother compete with each other to see who has the highest level of martial arts. I wanted him to see what a true genius is."
Seeing that Yu Canghai's reaction was too intense, Zuo Lengchan's eyes flashed with regret, and he immediately said.
If Yu Canghai's reaction was not strong, and he really wanted to attack Chu Yuan, it would be best if he could pretend to accidentally injure Chu Yuan severely in the process, thus destroying Chu Yuan, the genius of the Qingcheng Sect who had not yet risen. That would be the best.
Afterwards, even if it caused a fallout with the Qingcheng Sect, it was worth it to have a fight.
The reason for this plan is that Zuo Lengchan feels that with the talent and aptitude Chu Yuan has shown now, his future achievements may not be inferior to Lin Yuantu.
It is enough for the martial arts world to have Lin Yuantu who has been invincible for decades.
There is no need for another Chu Yuan.
In contrast, they took this opportunity to force the Huashan Sect to give up the position of leader of the Five Mountains.
this matter……
It seems not so important.
The Huashan Sect has declined to this extent. Now, the only ones who can be considered masters in the sect are Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze.
Even if he doesn't give up the position of leader of the Five Mountains this time, he will have to give it up next time. He won't be able to hold on for a few years.
"Zuo Lengchan, you are so shameless. How old is your junior brother? How old is this poor junior brother?"
Yu Canghai shouted coldly and angrily rebuked him.
He was shocked by Zuo Lengchan's shamelessness.
Just now he clearly felt that it was Zuo Lengchan who wanted to take action against his junior brother Chu Yuan personally.
Although Zuo Lengchan changed his mind because of his strong attitude, Yu Canghai still felt that it was extremely unfair to let his junior brother Chu Yuan and Zuo Lengchan compete with each other.
Although he knew the strength of his junior brother Chu Yuan, he was probably not weaker than some famous young masters in the world.
However, the leaders of other major sects at the main table understood Zuo Lengchan's idea, which was to get rid of Yu Canghai's junior brother.
They all secretly cursed Zuo Lengchan for being so shameless. As the leader of a sect, he actually wanted to attack a ten-year-old child.
But he did not intend to participate in it and decided to sit back and watch the fight.
Because although they think Zuo Lengchan's behavior is shameless, it is in their interests.
In the past few decades in the martial arts world, having Lin Yuantu is enough.
They don't want to, and they don't want to.
Just as the legend of Lin Yuantu was coming to an end, another Lin Yuantu appeared in the world.
"I don't know, which fellow disciple does Sect Leader Zuo want to spar with me?"
Chu Yuan asked Zuo Lengchan calmly.
"This time I am accompanying two of my fellow apprentices to attend the birthday banquet for Hero Lin. They are Second Apprentice Ding Mian and Fourth Apprentice Fei Bin. How about Fourth Apprentice Fei Bin and Taoist Chu sparring?"
Zuo Lengchan said with an idea in his mind.
In fact, the martial arts skills of his second junior brother Ding Mian and fourth junior brother Fei Bin are not much different.
Ding Mian is stronger, but not much stronger.
In order to maintain the reputation of the Songshan School, he decided to send his fourth junior brother Fei Bin to take action.
Although Fei Bin is not very old, having just turned 25 this year, he has already made a name for himself in the martial arts world as the "Big Songyang Hand".
"If he wants to, that's fine with me."
Chu Yuan said indifferently. "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I'm sure."
Seeing the worried look of his senior brother Yu Canghai next to him, Chu Yuan comforted him.
After saying this, Chu Yuan turned around and returned to his seat at the banquet.
After hearing Chu Yuan's words, Yu Canghai immediately felt relieved. Since Chu Yuan said so, it meant that he knew what was going on.
Not long after Chu Yuan returned to his seat, Fei Bin was called over by Zuo Lengchan.
When he expressed his idea of letting Fei Bin and Chu Yuan fight, Zuo Lengchan was surprised that Fei Bin actually gave him an unexpected answer.
"Brother, this little Taoist priest is quite powerful. I think we should just forget about it."
Fei Bin stood in front of Zuo Lengchan and said hesitantly.
The conflict and misunderstanding that occurred before had already made him realize that Chu Yuan had great internal strength. At least he was far from being able to compare with him.
The fight between Chu Yuan and Lin Zhennan just now made him realize that Chu Yuan was also proficient in the Qingcheng Sect's signature palm technique, the "Heart-Destroying Palm".
It’s okay if we fight in private!
However, on Lin Yuantu's 70th birthday, representatives from all major martial arts sects came, and it is no exaggeration to say that it was a grand event in the martial arts world.
If he lost in front of so many people from the martial arts world and guests, his reputation would be ruined.
In the martial arts world, the name "Big Songyang Hand" that he had finally earned was probably going to become a joke in the future.
"Why? Are you scared?"
Zuo Lengchan was surprised and said with a cold look.
His plan was going well and had not yet been implemented when something went wrong with his junior fellow apprentice.
He now finally understood why Chu Yuan had just said that he would have no objection if his junior fellow apprentice Fei Bin was willing.
But why?
Even if Chu Yuan defeated Lin Zhennan easily, Fei Bin, as a famous young master in the martial arts world, logically had no reason to be afraid of Chu Yuan. This little Taoist priest was only ten years old!
Did something happen between them that he didn't know about?
"Brother, Chu Yuan and I had a misunderstanding just now and we have already fought. I feel that my internal strength is not as good as his. If I spar with him, I am afraid I will not be his opponent."
Fei Bin was a little afraid of his senior brother Zuo Lengchan. Seeing that his senior brother was getting angry, Fei Bin could only bend down, get close to Zuo Lengchan's ear, and speak in a low voice.
"You have just fought with Chu Yuan. Your internal strength is not as good as his?"
Zuo Lengchan was surprised, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
He recalled the previous situation, and it seemed that not long ago, there was a commotion at Chu Yuan's table...
Could it be that this is what happened at that time?
"Junior brother's internal strength is indeed not as good as his."
Fei Bin looked ashamed.
He was a 25-year-old young man, but his internal strength was not as good as that of a 10-year-old kid.
He felt like he had been living a dog's life all these years.
"Okay, you can go back."
Seeing that things were hopeless, Zuo Lengchan could only give up.
"Master Zuo, did you hear me clearly? It's not that my junior brother is unwilling, it's just that your skills are not as good as others!"
After Fei Bin left, a hint of sneer flashed in Yu Canghai's eyes.
Although Fei Bin and Zuo Lengchan deliberately lowered their voices when they were talking just now, those sitting at the table were all leaders of various major sects, all of them were famous masters in the martial arts world and had extraordinary hearing.
Therefore, their conversation was heard by everyone present.
Except for Yu Canghai, the leaders of various factions could no longer remain calm and all of them started to stir up trouble.
Only then did they realize that the noise just now was probably the two of them fighting!
Although they didn't see it with their own eyes, what Fei Bin said should be true!
There is no need to lie about this kind of thing.
If even the young master of Songshan School, "Big Songyang Hand" Fei Bin is not Chu Yuan's opponent.
Perhaps only the leaders of each sect can defeat this ten-year-old Taoist priest.
I really don’t know if the Qingcheng Sect’s ancestors’ graves were filled with evil, as such a genius had emerged from within the sect.
Yu Canghai's ridicule made Zuo Lengchan unhappy.
"Master Yu, your martial arts skills are very strong. Our Songshan Sect is not as good as you."
Suppressing his anger, Zuo Lengchan smiled.
From the surface, there was no sign that he was angry and humiliated after his plan failed when he was planning to destroy the talented disciple of Qingcheng Sect.
After hearing Zuo Lengchan's words, Yu Canghai felt as refreshed as if he had eaten a piece of iced watermelon in the hottest days of summer.
However, he kept in mind the fact that Zuo Lengchan had bad intentions.
