Chapter 128 One person and one sword

When Kong Zhi was asked this question by Meng Xiuyuan, he choked on the spot and was speechless for a long time. The Shaolin disciples behind him looked very embarrassed.

Together with the remaining three sects of Kunlun, Kongtong and Huashan, they couldn't help but feel resentful and confused. They looked at Cheng Kun who threw himself to the ground and whispered, secretly thinking that they and others were really being used as knives.

Everyone can see from this situation that this so-called "Yuanzhen" monk of the Shaolin Sect is obviously quite fishy.

The stories told by Mingjiao and Zhang Wuji before are probably all true.

"Yuanzhen, since you entered the temple, neither my senior brother Kongjian nor the remaining disciples have ever done anything wrong to you.

Why, why could you do such a thing..."

Kong Zhi quickly walked up to Cheng Kun and tightly grasped the heavy gold-plated Zen staff in his hand.

Although he was narrow-minded and of low character, he really respected and admired Senior Brother Kong Jian very much. When he thought that Senior Brother Kong Jian died because of the evil disciple and thief in front of him, he suddenly felt resentful in his heart.

Hearing this, Cheng Kun did not answer Kong Zhi's words. He just coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood from his trachea, then summoned up the remaining strength in his body and burst into laughter:

"Hahahahaha, you think you have won, so you want to judge me...

Stupid, really stupid.

From the moment I went up the mountain today, I would not lose.

Junior sister, have you seen it, I still avenged you!"

Kong Zhi saw that Cheng Kun looked like a madman. He took a deep breath, but the Zen staff in his hand did not fall down. He turned around and walked back while speaking:

"Yuanxin, Yuanye, bring this evildoer back to the temple to be punished.

We, Shaolin, do not know people well and accepted such a treacherous and evil person. It is indeed our fault.

When I return to the temple on the coming day, I will definitely summon the heroes from all over the world to deal with him publicly and give an explanation to each faction."

Before Kong Zhi finished speaking, he saw Meng Xiuyuan suddenly point his finger in the air and use the power of "One Yang Finger" to point at Cheng Kun who was lying on the ground.

Hearing a puff, Cheng Kun fell to the ground and stopped moving.

"Meng Xiuyuan, what are you doing?!

Although Yuan Zhen is guilty, he is my Shaolin disciple after all and should be dealt with by my temple. Why do you want to kill him?"

Kong Zhi hurriedly turned around and rushed to Cheng Kun. He bent down and touched his neck, and found that his pulse had disappeared. He couldn't help but feel very angry.

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head, did not argue with him, and explained calmly:

"Master Kongzhi, didn't you hear the meaning behind Cheng Kun's words, that he had a back-up plan?

I didn't want to kill him, on the contrary, I wanted to keep him alive so that he could be interrogated again.

It’s a pity that it’s still a step too late.”

Kong Zhi was startled when he heard this, and quickly stretched out his hand to touch Cheng Kun's chest.

Sure enough, it was seen that Cheng Kun's heart was completely shattered at this time, obviously broken by his own forced movement in an instant. It's no wonder that Meng Xiuyuan's timely finger still didn't have time to stop him.

Seeing this, Kong Zhi knew that he had wrongly blamed good people again and again, and couldn't help but look very embarrassed. He raised his head and took a deep breath, wanting to accuse Meng Xiuyuan.

But before he spoke, Meng Xiuyuan's attention was no longer on him, but had already turned to look at Zhang Wuji:

"Wuji, when you were chasing Cheng Kun, did you find any backdoor tricks he had arranged?"

Zhang Wuji nodded after hearing this:

"In the Guangmingding secret passage, there is indeed a lot of gunpowder hidden in this pile. At first, he had the advantage, but he thought that this secret passage trapped me to death, so he did not intend to reveal it in his words. He really wanted to use this

Blow up the entire Bright Dome and bury us all in it."

"What?!"

"This thief is so damn vicious!"

"Quick, let's go down the mountain quickly, or the gunpowder will explode at some point!"

When everyone present heard Zhang Wuji's words, they couldn't help but jump to their feet and cursed. At the same time, many young and homeless disciples from each faction began to grab their fellow disciples and anxiously fled down the mountain.

"Don't panic, everyone, everything is fine!"

Upon seeing this, Zhang Wuji hurriedly explained:

"When I discovered the gunpowder, I had already removed all the fuses used to detonate it.

Moreover, most of the gunpowder was soaked with water and was no longer usable.

The evil thief Chengkun didn't know what was going on because he was in a coma.

In fact, even if there are still people in the secret passage at this time, they can't threaten us with that gunpowder."

As soon as he said this, everyone present felt at ease and no longer panicked as before.

Especially the senior officials of the Mingjiao, although they felt a little unhappy when they heard that the people of the secret cult were like a vegetable market. However, more than anything, they still praised Zhang Wuji for his decisive action and saved their Mingjiao again.

"From Na Cheng Kun's sneak attack to this gunpowder crisis, Mr. Zhang saved my Mingjiao from fire and water twice and three times. I am really grateful. Mr. Zhang, please accept my bow." Sai Bu was the first to bow to Zhang Wuji,

Many remaining Mingjiao disciples followed suit and saluted.

Seeing this, Zhang Wuji quickly shook his head and waved his hands, indicating that what he did was nothing.

"Hey, Monk, what are you doing out there like this? You're like Mr. Zhang. This is the grandson of the Eagle King, and he's also a member of our Ming Cult!" Zhou Dian rarely cursed anyone and said a few nice words with a smile.

"Yes, this Mr. Zhang is not only highly skilled in martial arts and kind-hearted, he is also the adopted son of the Lion King and the grandson of the Eagle King. For our Ming Cult, he is indeed a rare talent.

In addition, he has saved our lives, so I, Peng Yingyu, admire him!" After thinking for a moment, Peng Yingyu deliberately sighed loudly.

"Yes, Eagle King, you really have a good grandson. Not only is he kind to us, but he has also made great contributions to the Ming Cult..." Yang Xiao was deeply moved after hearing what Peng Yingyu said.

After looking at Zhang Wuji for a few times, he sighed sincerely.

"Hahaha, it's true." The White-browed Eagle King laughed loudly, and accepted the compliments graciously without being polite to a few people.

Meng Xiuyuan saw such a scene in the distance and felt very happy. In his heart, Zhang Wuji was indeed the best candidate for the leader of the Ming Cult. Meng Xiuyuan had been deliberately training him in this direction over the years.

In his previous life, many people commented that Zhang Wuji was weak, indecisive, and somewhat love-minded, and felt that he was not suitable for the position of leader of the Ming Cult.

But in Meng Xiuyuan's heart, he didn't think so.

Not to mention Zhang Wuji's special status, being related to both the Lion King and the Eagle King, and having Zhang Cuishan as his father, which naturally bridged the dual relationship within the Mingjiao and between the Mingjiao and the six sects of the Central Plains.

Just talking about Zhang Wuji's ability and character, he is actually the best candidate to be the leader.

After all, as mentioned before, there is no shortage of anti-Yuan forces in the world at this time, and there is no need for these high-level Mingjiao leaders at Guangmingding to make military arrangements. What they need to do is just to serve as a banner to control the scattered and unrestrained

The thoughts of the scattered rebels were gathered together.

In this case, Zhang Wuji's image of such a kind-hearted person with shining humanity is the most easily infective and the least scrupulous person.

Everyone knows that although this leader has a high status, he only cares about the people of the world and has no right to control his desires. Therefore, despite their own small thoughts, they are more willing to work hard for him first to conquer the country.

When the big thing is done, the leader will retire to the mountains and forests without being forced to do anything, and it won't be too late to come back and compete for the throne.

When Meng Xiuyuan was thinking about this, Yin Li was smart and suddenly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yang Xiao:

"When my brother Wuji and I were chasing the evil thief from Chengkun, we accidentally found this suicide note left by the leader of Yang Dingtian. We didn't have time just now, but now I still have to hand it over to all the seniors."

Everyone in the Ming Cult was very excited when they heard that it was Yang Dingtian's suicide note, and hurriedly gathered around it. Yang Xiao opened the envelope, and everyone saw that it was really Master Yang's handwriting, and they read the contents carefully.

Needless to say what happened next, when everyone learned that Yang Dingtian was clearly dead and had ordered Xie Xun to temporarily act as the leader of the cult, they all tacitly began to recommend Zhang Wuji to take the position of leader of the cult for his adoptive father.

Although Zhang Wuji's credit was slightly shared compared to the original timeline, he did indeed save the lives of everyone in the Ming Cult twice, and everyone was still convinced by this young man with outstanding martial arts.

In addition, everyone recalled that the former leader of the Ming Cult, Yang Dingtian, died suddenly and had no one to lead him. A powerful sect actually started fighting among itself and was torn apart. There are some who stay out of things, some who set up their own sect, and there are also those who do evil things.

Since then, it has been in a state of decline and has been riddled with crises.

Today, it is indeed a top priority to re-establish the leader of the church, and there is no better candidate than Zhang Wuji, who is more convincing to everyone.

Therefore, everyone immediately bowed down and bowed happily, even the two elders, King Yin Ye and Yin Tianzheng, were no exception.

Zhang Wuji subconsciously wanted to refuse, but at this moment he also remembered Meng Xiuyuan's various warnings, so he finally agreed. He said that he was only acting as the leader temporarily, and when the situation of the Ming Cult improved, he would ask them to hire another master.

As for the people from the five major sects, seeing the prosperity of Mingjiao, they didn't express anything. They just slandered each other secretly.

After all, they had just been shocked by Cheng Kun's incident of planting explosives, and they felt that they were being used as swordsmen because of Cheng Kun's incident. They were very dissatisfied and could not blame each other. They were only wondering whether they should be so depressed.

Sliding down the mountain.

At this moment, a burst of chaotic shouting was suddenly heard from the direction of the square path, and then a group of Mingjiao disciples, dripping with blood and seriously injured, entered the square and headed straight for Yang Xiao and others. Judging from their clothing, they should be

A disciple of Houtuqi.

"Shi Yang Zuo, King Ying, and senior Wusan people, a large group of Tatar officers and soldiers suddenly came from the east and were heading towards Guangmingding.

There are a lot of them, probably several thousand in number, and they are well-equipped and well-trained. They are really powerful.

These Tatars are obviously well prepared. Our Five Elements Banner brothers are too few in number. Although we try our best to resist, we are still retreating steadily and cannot stop them at all!"

The leader of them reported loudly, and his voice was clearly heard by everyone in the square.

"What?!" "How could this happen?"

Everyone present, whether they were members of the Ming Cult or the six major sects, were all shocked by the news.

At this time, everyone thought of Cheng Kun's words before his death, and couldn't help but understand why he was so confident.
