The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 116 This Wudang boy is really thoughtful

Who is Zhang Sanfeng? His hearing and eyesight are definitely not comparable to Zhang Cuishan's. He disappeared from the hall in an instant. Yin Susu couldn't help but ran out when she heard Zhang Cuishan's shout, but she didn't see any trace of Zhang Wuji.

Zhang Cuishan said, "I thought I heard his voice just now, but when I chased him out, he disappeared."

Yin Susu was very disappointed and whispered, "I think you were thinking about the child and heard it wrongly."

Zhang Cuishan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I clearly heard it." He then walked into the hall, bowed to Kong Wen, and said, "I miss my son so much that I may have been disrespectful. Master, please forgive me."

Without waiting for the monks to respond, Song Qingshu suddenly spoke up, "I'm afraid that's not the case. If my guess is correct, Zhang Wuji should have been outside at the time, but when Fifth Uncle-Martial-Uncle rushed out, he was stopped by his accomplices. Who are you two? Why would you stop us from rescuing him on Mount Wudang?"

"Don't slander me! We are only guarding the gate to prevent you from escaping."

Song Qingshu said calmly, "I see. I really didn't know. Where else in the world could be safer than Wudang Mountain for Fifth Uncle-Master? Why would we need to flee to some other place? You two, just wait and see. What else do you Mongol lackeys have to say?"

Zhang Sanfeng came in, pushing a man in Mongolian military uniform, holding a boy of eight or nine years old. Yin Susu and Zhang Cuishan rushed out and shouted in unison, "Wuji."

"Hmph, who knows if it was just a show you guys put on." The disciples of Wushan Sect and Shenquan Sect refused to admit it.

"It's no use for you two to deny it. We were covering for the Mongols' escape in public. If it weren't for Grand Master's exceptional martial arts, I'm afraid you would have succeeded." Song Qingshu sneered, "As the leader of the third generation of Wudang disciples, I was the one who arranged Grand Master's centenary celebration. I don't recall ever inviting you. Besides, this gateway is so important. Why would you block me there instead of going somewhere else?"

"And the most important thing is that the Mongol Tartar was just outside the window. How could you not see him? Who would believe you if you said you were not running dogs? Don't think everyone is a fool. Everyone has two pairs of eyes and can see everything clearly." Song Qingshu's words seemed to make sense, but everyone knew that the two disciples of Wushan School and Shenquan Sect were wrongly accused. They indeed did not see the Tartar, or they simply did not pay attention to anything other than Zhang Cuishan.

"Amitabha," Kong Wen chanted the Buddha's name, and suddenly realized that although this coincidence was just an accident, it was exactly the same as when Shaolin wrongly accused Zhang Cuishan. The only difference was that it was a conspiracy planned by Yin Yewang, but this time it was a real accident.

He was just about to speak when Song Qingshu suddenly looked at the Mongol Tartar and asked, "Didn't the bastard who used the Vajra Finger come with you?"

"He was protecting the princess at the foot of the mountain, not..." The Mongolian Tartar knew something was wrong as soon as he opened his mouth, and immediately kept silent. However, what he said was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone.

"How many of you have come? How many people in the martial arts world are you planning to kill this time and put the blame on our Wudang sect? Our Wudang sect has only been established for a short time, and we don't have any particularly famous martial arts that have leaked out. Are you going to use the Vajra Finger again this time? Tsk tsk, then you can't put the blame on our Wudang sect." Song Qingshu's words shocked Kongwen, Kongzhi, and Kongxing.

"Amitabha, please can you hand this person over to my Shaolin for disposal? This is related to Shaolin's inheritance, so I have to ask." Kongwen has always attached great importance to Shaolin's unique skills.

Zhang Sanfeng had no objection, but Song Yuanqiao stood up and said, "This matter concerns the ambush of my third brother Yu Dayan and my fifth brother Zhang Cuishan. If we hand it over to Shaolin like this, I'm afraid..."

"If it is indeed their doing, Shaolin will give Wudang an explanation." Kong Wen now felt somewhat confident. At least he could prove that it was not our Shaolin who did it. What if you cleared Zhang Cuishan's grievances? Wouldn't our Shaolin be cleared as well? However, this person looked quite skilled in martial arts, and the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty clothing he wore must have a rather unusual origin.

"We are waiting for the master's explanation." Song Yuanqiao took a step back, which made Shaolin Sankong quite grateful. The people were captured by Zhang Sanfeng. It was a favor to give them money, and it was his duty not to give them money, because the biggest victim was Yu Daying.

Kong Wen chanted a Buddhist name and said, "Zhang Wuxia, the matter of the Longmen Escort Agency has been resolved. Shaolin will handle the matter with the Sky Eagle Sect. However, please inform me of the whereabouts of the villain who murdered my Senior Brother Kong Jian."

Song Qingshu asked, "Master, do you want to know the whereabouts of Xie Xun or the whereabouts of the real murderer who killed Master Kong Jian?"

"What's the difference?" Kong Zhi couldn't help but look up to the young man who had become famous today. The legendary Confucian hero, the number one in the three generations of Wudang, was indeed no ordinary person.

"Master Kongjian is a martial arts master with a kind heart. Although he knows that Xie Xun has a long history of bad deeds, he still wants to influence him. It's just that he was deceived. He didn't know that the people who asked him to deal with Xie Xun calculated that he would fail. Then, after Master Kongjian learned part of the truth and let Xie Xun go, he was killed by people close to him. Three masters, it's not that I am biased towards Xie Xun. His martial arts really couldn't kill Master Kongjian ten years ago." Song Qingshu's words were like a storm that shocked everyone.

"This is impossible. What evidence do you have?" Kong Zhi felt that his brain was not enough. Perhaps his wisdom had really become empty.

"Isn't the evidence obvious? It's the body of Master Kongjian. You just haven't looked at it carefully. And who told you that it was Xie Xun who killed Master Kongjian? Have you never doubted it?" Song Qingshu's eyes as if he was looking at fools made them look ugly. But in this case, what excuse could they use to ask about the whereabouts of the Dragon Slaying Sword?

Song Qingshu cast his gaze towards the Mongol Tartar and asked, "You unleashed the Dragon Slaying Sabres to disrupt the martial arts world, causing endless bloodshed and strife, but you didn't expect Xie Xun to disrupt the situation, did you? Tsk tsk, you manipulated all the martial artists in the world at your fingertips. I admire you. But do you really think a single precious sword can command the martial arts world? Do you believe that tomorrow I will release a hundred or eighty Dragon Slaying Sabres? They are just magical weapons, as if any skilled blacksmith couldn't forge them?"

"I'm sure many of you are here for the Dragon Slaying Sword, right? Five thousand taels of silver for a fine Dragon Slaying Sword, three thousand taels for a good-quality Dragon Slaying Sword, and one thousand taels for an ordinary Dragon Slaying Sword. First come, first served. These are all magical weapons made of Wootz steel obtained from the Western Regions. Don't miss the opportunity." Song Qingshu clapped his hands, and saw a dozen boys coming out in groups of two, carrying several identical swords.

"Dragon Slaying Sword?!" Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu exclaimed in unison, unable to believe their eyes.

"You want to use these guys to pass off as real?" Xi Huazi stood up with disdain, took out a dagger from his waist and slashed fiercely. With a "clang" sound, the dagger in his hand broke into two pieces, but the so-called fake "Dragon Slaying Sword" was not damaged at all. Everyone widened their eyes at the same time.

Many sect leaders couldn't help but shake their heads, yet secretly wondered: If no one could unlock the secrets of the Dragon Slaying Sword, who would dare to say that these were no longer the Dragon Slaying Sword? This Wudang kid was indeed very thoughtful.

"Young Master Song's magic weapon is truly extraordinary, but we are not here for the Dragon Slaying Sword. We are here to avenge our blood feud with Xie Xun. Please tell us the whereabouts of that evil villain."

"Alas, why bother? You're all pitiful, being used as pawns without even realizing it." Song Qingshu shook his head and said, "Xie Xun isn't a good person. He let Fifth Master return because he's certain he's a trustworthy gentleman who won't go back on his word. Therefore, getting any information from him is impossible."

"I've been well-read since childhood and have a good understanding of astronomy and geography. Based on Fifth Uncle's discussion, their landing location, and the animal skins they found, I have a rough guess. If you don't mind, I'll listen. While it may not be accurate, it's a good starting point for my search."

"There are ocean currents that appear at certain times of year, bringing with them schools of fish. Based on this, we can deduce quite a bit. By inferring from Fifth Master Uncle's departure and return, it's not hard to spot some issues. Secondly, the hides they wear are thick and hairy, clearly found in colder regions. Furthermore, these hides have been tanned, meaning that even though it's cold there, there are volcanoes."

"After setting sail, we headed northeast. It's cold but there are volcanoes. This should be where the Mao people of northern Japan live. It's said that there are many volcanoes there and they are rich in gold and silver. With Xie Xun's martial arts skills and the Dragon Slaying Sword, it's unlikely that he can command the martial arts world, but it shouldn't be difficult for him to command the Mao people."

Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu looked at each other with disbelief on their faces. Is this even possible? Their expressions were seen by many people.
