Chapter - 483 All Over the World, No One Can be a Hero (8) (2/2)

”Dian Xiong,” Peng Yingyu cut him off, ”Do not interrupt Junzhu Niangniang.”

Zhou Dian was indignant. ”You interrupted me first …” he said.

Peng Yingyu smiled without saying anything. He was well aware that bickering with Zhou Dian for two to four hours [orig. one or two 'sichen', 1 sichen = 2-hour] was not unusual; therefore, he would rather not respond.

”Why don't you say anything?” Zhou Dian asked.

”You told me not to interrupt you; I won't interrupt you,” Peng Yingyu replied.

”But you have already interrupted me,” Zhou Dian said.

”Then please continue whatever you were going to say,” Peng Yingyu said.

”I've forgotten already, I don't remember what I was going to say,” Zhou Dian said.

Zhao Min laughed and continued, ”I thought that if Yuan Zhen's sole objective was to be Shaolin Temple Abbot, he did not need to gather all the heroes under the Heaven here. Xia Daxia has already fallen into his hands, why would he want the heroes to fight over him? Wuji Gege, speaking about martial art skill, I am afraid nobody in the world is superior to you. It's impossible that Yuan Zhen did not know this fact. I don't think he is being nice by arranging all heroes under the Heaven to gather here so that you can defeat them all and become the 'wulin zhi zun'. It is like he is offering Xie Daxia and the Tulong Saber to you for free.”

Zhang Wuji, Peng Yingyu and Zhou Dian nodded and asked, ”What do you think is his real plot?”

At this time Yang Xiao walked over toward Zhang Wuji and joined the discussion, ”I have been thinking, this traitor Yuan Zhen's evil scheme must not be a simple one …”

Zhou Dian could not bear not to comment, ”Yuan Zhen is our Cult's archenemy. Junzhu Niangniang, you were once also our Cult's archenemy. This traitor Yuan Zhen is very cunning and extremely intelligent, Junzhu Niangniang, you are also very cunning and extremely intelligent. I say the two of you are on par with each other.”

”You are talking rubbish!” Yang Xiao scolded him.

With a faint smile Zhao Min continued, ”What Mr. Zhou said makes sense. If I were Yuan Zhen, how would I carry out my conspiracy? Mmm … first, I would persuade Kong Wen Fangzhang to send out mass invitation to all heroes under the Heaven, requesting them to come to Shaolin Temple. Kong Wen Fangzhang is a devout Buddhist; a person of mercy and peace. Naturally, he did not want to be meddlesome in other people's business; but all I need to do is mention the names of Kong Jian and Kong Xing, two Shen Seng. Kong Wen Fangzhang loves his martial brothers very much, so, he gave his permission. Furthermore, if Shaolin Temple wanted to kill Xie Daxia, the enmity with the Ming Cult would be as deep as the ocean. Based on one Sect's power alone, Shaolin might not necessarily be able to resist Ming Cult's full-force attack; but if Shaolin shifted the blame to the heroes from all over the world, certainly the Ming Cult could not massacre several thousand attending warriors, could it?”

Everybody nodded their heads in agreement. Zhao Min continued, ”Once the great assembly is in progress, I would not show my own face; I'll let others use Xie Daxia and the Tulong Saber as a bait to provoke the heroes and warriors to kill each other. Inevitably, The Ming Cult would have to fight countless enemies. After the battle is over, it doesn't matter who win or lose, the Ming Cult force would be decreased by half and its power would diminish considerably.”

”Exactly,” Zhang Wuji said, ”I have had the same concern, but Yifu's kindness to me was as heavy as the mountain. He also has dozens of years of friendship with our brethrens. How can we sit down without trying to save him? Ay, we have been on this mountain only for several days, Grandfather had already died. That traitor Yuan Zhen must be clapping and cheering in his hiding place.”

Zhao Min continued, ”At the end of the battle, most likely Zhang Jiaozhu will be crowned the number one martial artist; so the Shaolin monks would say, 'Zhang Jiaozhu's skill surpasses all the heroes. You are worthy of the honor and the accolades. Our Temple sincerely hands over Xie Daxia to Zhang Jiaozhu. Would Zhang Jiaozhu please go to the hill peak behind the Temple to welcome him?' Thereupon everybody would climb the peak together; Zhang Jiaozhu must break the 'Jin Gang Fu Mo Quan'. If anybody stepped forward to assist him, Yuan Zhen's crony would say, 'The one defeating all the warriors was Zhang Jiaozhu of the Ming Cult; it has nothing to do with anybody else. It would be better for Sire to stand on the side and watch.' In his effort to win the title of number one martial artist in the world, even if Zhang Jiaozhu did not suffer any injury, his internal energy would be consumed I don't know how much; by that time, how can he be the three monks' match? In the end, not only Xie Daxia could not be rescued, he would die among the three green pines instead. Only the cold moon and the bitter wind would accompany the body of the great hero of this generation, Zhang Wuji. Tell me, isn't my scheme wonderful?”
