The Four Great Arresters felt at ease, only waiting for their Master to arrive.
Fahai, will eventually be unable to escape!
Above the sky, two figures stood in the air, causing the entire audience to hold their breath and stare.
One wore a green Daoist robe, with a flowing white beard, possessing an extraordinary and ethereal temperament, like an Immortal Master.
The other wore a kasaya, with visible ordination scars on his head, and his aura surged like a torrent, radiating oppressive power.
As the two Heavenly Human Realm experts confronted each other, their Qi intertwined and surged, causing strong winds to sweep across the entire Wudang Mountain peak, and the heavens and earth seemed to tremble because of it.
Their attitude might rewrite the future landscape of the Jianghu.
Among the crowd, Zhang Sanfeng's expression was solemn.
He had not expected Taixu's attitude to be so resolute.
But upon closer thought, it was also reasonable.
Although Fahai had stirred up trouble in the Jianghu, his talent was truly rare!
Looking across the world, those who could rival him were few and far between.
The Tianji Old Man had once predicted—
Within thirty years, he could ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm! His combat power would be unparalleled, with no rival among his peers!
Now it seemed, this statement was not false.
Fahai had not only become invincible among his peers but had also, as a Grandmaster, defeated a Great Grandmaster expert!
How could Shaolin let go of such a person?
If it were him, he would also do his utmost to protect him.
The future light of a sect, bearing the responsibility of supporting the heavens, how could outsiders be allowed to interfere?
Sighing softly, Zhang Sanfeng slowly spoke:
"Since this matter was initiated by Qingshu, and Fahai is the Disciple of your Sect Leader Taixu."
"This old man will no longer insist."
As the words fell, the crowd stirred, and astonishment appeared on everyone's faces.
Zhang Sanfeng, gave in?
Heroes from all walks of life looked on, disbelievingly gazing at the Wudang Sect Leader.
Chongxu and others bowed their heads in dejection, feeling helpless, but also understanding that now was not the time to fall out with Shaolin.
Shaolin had deep foundations, with legends of four Heavenly Human Realm experts living in seclusion, unmatched by anyone in the Jianghu.
Far from what Wudang could contend with.
The best outcome at present was to endure and retreat.
Although this was logical, there was still a sense of unwillingness in their hearts.
The dignified Wudang had to bow its head today; how could anyone swallow this indignity? Yet, in the face of reality, there was nothing they could do.
Seeing this, Xu Fengnian chuckled softly from the side:
"It is Shaolin after all."
"This group from Wudang also knows how to gauge the situation. As soon as Shaolin appeared, they immediately cowered."
His tone carried a hint of triumph.
He had long disliked these Daoist priests, and seeing them bow their heads today filled his heart with joy.
Old Huang nodded in agreement: "If Sect Leader Taixu had not appeared in time, even with The Four Divine Monks present, they would not have been able to stop Zhang Sanfeng."
"Shaolin's willingness to go to such lengths forced Wudang to retreat."
"The might of a Heavenly Human Realm expert is truly extraordinary."
Old Huang secretly sighed in his heart.
This commotion should also subside now.
Fahai and Nangong Pu She simultaneously relaxed their tense nerves.
Old man Taixu was still tough enough, and domineering enough.
Whoever disagreed, could step up.
He had waited so long, and it was finally not in vain.
When it comes to reasoning, it still has to be you!
Zhang Sanfeng bowed his head in admission, and Taixu nodded slightly.
"As expected of Immortal Master Zhang, a wise man knows when to submit to circumstances."
Wudang's current status was entirely supported by Zhang Sanfeng alone.
Not only because of his extraordinary talent and formidable strength;
But also because when Wudang was weak back then, he was able to endure humiliation and heavy burdens.
It was precisely because he could endure that he was able to escape from Shaolin and carve out a new path.
And it was also because he could endure that he overcame obstacles, founded Wudang, and ultimately made Wudang as famous as Shaolin!
Today, it was the same!
At a moment concerning Wudang's survival and dignity, he still chose to endure, not to directly confront Shaolin.
He was still that ruthless person.
Taixu narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Zhang Sanfeng.
Truly troublesome.
"Let's go."
He turned to look at Fahai.
"You brat, you sure know how to cause trouble. I'll settle the score with you when we get back."
In front of everyone, Shaolin had to protect its own.
But once they returned to the mountain gate, it would be a different story.
This time, the trouble Fahai had caused was truly too great.
If he hadn't come personally, Fahai would probably have lost his life long ago.
This child truly made him worry.
Fahai was not annoyed; let him scold him.
Who told this elder to resolve the trouble for him.
He turned to Nangong and smiled: "Let's go!"
Just as they were about to leave,
Suddenly, Zhang Sanfeng's voice rang out.
"Wait!"
This sound instantly attracted everyone's attention.
What was Zhang Sanfeng going to do?
Had he perhaps gone back on his word?
If that were truly the case, it would be understandable.
After all, his bowing his head today meant sacrificing Wudang's reputation.
The Four Great Arresters' hearts stirred, and they immediately fixed their gaze on Zhang Sanfeng, hoping he would say something to stop Fahai and his group.
After all, their Master had not yet arrived at Wudang.
If Fahai were taken away, it would be even more difficult to investigate him later.
Chongxu and the others were even more shocked, looking at Zhang Sanfeng with anticipation.
Was the Sect Leader going to confront Shaolin head-on?!
It should be so!
We Wudang are not to be trifled with!
The onlookers from the Jianghu also cast surprised glances, waiting for Zhang Sanfeng to speak.
Taixu, however, frowned slightly, an inexplicable unease rising in his heart.
"What? Does Immortal Master Zhang still wish to compete?"
Taixu was going to the extreme in protecting his own today.
No matter how high your status, even if you are the Heavenly Human Realm Sect Leader of Wudang, harming my Disciple is unacceptable!
Zhang Sanfeng shook his head.
"If Sect Leader Taixu wishes to spar, I shall certainly oblige another day."
"However, my speaking out today is not for this matter."
"Since Fahai is a Shaolin Disciple, Wudang can let go of his actions."
"But she, however, cannot be easily let go!"
Before his words finished, Zhang Sanfeng's gaze turned cold, two icy beams pointing directly at Nangong.
"She is not from Shaolin, and has no old grievances with my Wudang, yet she twice intruded into Wudang and severely injured my Disciples!"
"If this old man allows her to leave, how can I face the Disciples of Wudang!"
"And how can I make the people of the world believe in the name of Zhang Sanfeng!"
"Today, anyone can leave, but Nangong Pu She alone must stay!"
The true intentions were revealed!
No one had expected that Zhang Sanfeng had not truly intended to give way by half a step!
His real target, from the very beginning, was not Fahai, but Nangong Pu She!
The compromising stance he had shown earlier was merely a delaying tactic!
He cleverly shifted the original conflict between Wudang and Shaolin to one between Wudang and Nangong Pu She!
Fahai was Taixu's Personal Disciple, an extremely powerful Prodigy, and someone Shaolin placed great hopes on.
Moreover, the conflict between Wudang and Fahai was initiated by Wudang being in the wrong first.
Therefore, from any perspective, it was not advisable to act rashly.
Fahai cannot be touched!
If they forcefully made a move, it would only incur Shaolin's wrath. So, they would not touch him!
But Nangong Pu She, no matter what, could not be allowed to leave Wudang Mountain today!
This was Zhang Sanfeng's true calculation!
Nangong Pu She had no connection with Shaolin.
And as an outsider, she had twice intruded into Wudang's Forbidden Land and injured the Disciples of the sect, which was an undeniable fact.
Wudang's holding her accountable was perfectly justified!
Even Shaolin could not say much!
This time, Wudang held the moral high ground.
Both in terms of reason and righteousness, they stood on invincible ground.
Unable to deal with Fahai, could they still not deal with a Nangong Pu She?
She had twice forced her way into Wudang and harmed Disciples.
If she were allowed to leave unscathed today, what face would Wudang have?
Although they could not touch Fahai at all due to Shaolin's protection.
This Nangong Pu She, however, had no backing!
Since Fahai could not be held accountable, then they could only target her!
In short, someone had to vent Wudang's anger over this matter today!
