157: Silver Halberd Wenhou Lu Fengxian

Xin Jian was in this meditation room with Lin Xianer, engaging in intimate acts.

Baixiaosheng and Abbot Xinhu, at this moment, looked quite solemn.

"You're saying this Lu Jiuyuan is Shangguan Fei? He's the son of Shangguan Jinhong of the Golden Money Gang?" Abbot Xinhu was extremely shocked by this news brought by Baixiaosheng.

"That's right!" Baixiaosheng nodded. "This child is quite deeply hidden. I only discovered his connection to Shangguan Jinhong through his attendant, Han Zhen."

"If he were just a Jianghu wanderer, no matter how strong his martial arts, he wouldn't be a concern.

But if he is the son of Shangguan Jinhong, leader of the Golden Money Gang—currently the most prominent and largest force in the Jianghu—then things are far more complicated than we imagined."

"This is a major counterattack by Jianghu wanderers against the righteous Schools," Great Master Xinhu said in a deep voice.

"Twenty years ago, we discussed and ranked the weapons ranking to make the Jianghu wanderers fight among themselves.

This was to prevent another King Kuaihuo from appearing, and another Shen Lang!

Young people entered the Jianghu, and young heroes fought each other. Over twenty years, the weapons ranking was revised several times, and countless young talents perished.

We originally thought it would continue peacefully.

Unexpectedly, twenty years later, another genius, no weaker than Shen Lang, emerged. They have finally begun to fight back."

Baixiaosheng nodded, sighing with emotion: "Fifty-four years ago, King Kuaihuo Chai Yuguan massacred over two hundred first-rate experts from the Ten Great Sects, causing a generational gap in the Jianghu.

The Ten Great Sects suffered severe losses to their Origin Qi.

Less than twenty years later, Shen Lang rose to prominence, suppressing the Jianghu for over a decade before retiring.

After Shen Lang, Wang Lianhua, and Xiongmao Er retired from the Jianghu, we introduced the weapons ranking to restrain the Jianghu wanderers.

And only after these fifty years have passed have our Ten Great Sects fully recovered their Origin Qi."

Baixiaosheng sighed: "Originally, I planned to use Lin Xianer to stir up trouble in the Jianghu, pitting Li Xunhuan against Shangguan Jinhong.

Old Man Tianji is old; Shangguan Jinhong will not let him go. Iron Sword Guo Songyang is Lin Xianer's paramour; with a little manipulation, he can be made to foolishly confront Li Xunhuan or Shangguan Jinhong.

Lu Fengxian, who used to wield the Silver Halberd, has abandoned his halberd to practice finger techniques; he is already crippled.

It won't take long; I only need a year to set up the plan.

Then all the top five experts on the weapons ranking can be eliminated!"

"I never expected such a freak to appear at this critical juncture. If Shangguan Fei doesn't die, with father and son passing on their legacy, reaching the peak of the world, the Golden Money Gang will become uncontrollable."

"Either convert him or kill him!" Abbot Xinhu sighed, saying with a look of compassion: "But we must be thorough in our actions. Consider defeat before victory. If his martial arts are truly so strong that even the 108 Arhat Formation cannot subdue him, then we must sacrifice Benefactress Lin."

"If it comes to that, then Xian'er will naturally have to make a sacrifice." Baixiaosheng nodded, saying: "Xin Jian, as the head monk, has long been protected by Shaolin Temple, so his sacrifice is only natural."

"amitabha, good, good!"

...Lu Fengxian, the Silver Halberd Marquis, once dominated the Jianghu with his halberd, earning a formidable reputation.

He was ranked 5th on the weapons ranking by Baixiaosheng.

Lu Fengxian considered it a great humiliation to be ranked only fifth in the world and challenged Iron Sword Guo Songyang to a duel.

He ultimately lost by one move.

It was then that he realized his halberd techniques had reached a Bottleneck; even if he continued practicing, he would not defeat Iron Sword Guo Songyang.

He was also a person of great determination and perseverance.

He directly destroyed his weapon, which had accompanied him for many years.

He began to cultivate the Indestructible Great Soul-Searching Hand, spending ten years pouring his life's Origin Qi into his right index and middle fingers.

Ten years of arduous effort, a secret method of almost masochistic tempering, made these two fingers harder than steel, capable of cutting metal and breaking jade.

They could snap blades and break swords!

Where his finger wind passed, splitting stone tablets was trivial, and he had reached the terrifying state of being impervious to blades and spears, and unharmed by fire and water.

"You said Lu Jiuyuan would pass through here, you weren't wrong, were you?" Lu Fengxian said coldly to the young servant beside him.

"Master Lu, they will definitely pass this way. I wouldn't dare to lie to you. This is also the only way to Shaolin Temple."

The young servant set up a small table by the roadside and took out a wine pot and dishes from a box.

"Master Lu, please eat and wait here. According to the intelligence from our brothers, they will definitely pass through here within two hours at most."

"But Master Lu, I have to say something. That Lu Jiuyuan's skill can truly be called top-notch in the world.

Even Whip God Ximen Rou is far from being his match, and he dares to offend such a large Shaolin Temple.

It is unwise for you to come looking for him like this."

"Hahahahaha! What a joke. What is Whip God Ximen Rou? Is he even worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as me?" Lu Fengxian threw his head back and laughed loudly.

"I have trained hard for ten years, and I only emerged after feeling invincible in the world.

There are three people I want to kill: Old Man Tianji, Shangguan Jinhong, and Li Xunhuan. Even Guo Songyang is no longer worthy of being my enemy.

What's more, a mere Lu Jiuyuan."

"If I'm going to do something, I'll be the best in the world. If I can't even be the best in the world, why should I train so desperately?"

Lu Fengxian sat down, poured wine into a cup, and drank it all: "This mere Lu Jiuyuan is just a prelude."

In the distance, a faint cloud of dust rose.

First to appear was a bamboo chair, made of bamboo, carried steadily by four women in black tight-fitting attire with beautiful faces.

Their steps were light and synchronized, clearly indicating a solid Foundation in light body techniques.

Lu Jiuyuan was not sitting in the chair but walking ahead.

On the left was a person in a brand new sapphire blue long gown, his figure as tall and straight as a pine, his face stern, and his eyes as sharp as an eagle. It was A Fei, who had changed out of his gray clothes.

He still held that simple, broken sword, but his overall demeanor seemed even more aloof and cold due to the blue gown.

On the right was a person in bright red clothing, dazzling like a burning flame, it was You Longsheng.

His face always wore a strange, half-smiling, half-not expression, making people feel at first glance that this guy's Heart-Nature was crazy and definitely not serious.

Behind the sedan, Yun Chang was in pink, carrying a flower basket, while the four Plum Orchid Bamboo Chrysanthemum women were in plain white, holding instruments like pipas, jade flutes, and bamboo flutes.

Han Zhen walked at the very front, then turned back to Lu Jiuyuan and said: "Master, someone is blocking the way ahead.

There's a murderous Qi emanating, so they don't seem friendly."

"Not friendly?" Lu Jiuyuan raised an eyebrow. "Then let's go and see just how unfriendly they are."
