Chapter 108 Qiao Feng and his son sneak into Shaolin Temple at night; Shaolin holds a martial arts c
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Lingjiu Palace has long since returned to normal within the past month.
Ling Feng's proactive planning gradually put the development of the Xiaoyao Sect on the right track.
However, at this very moment, a shocking piece of news quickly spread throughout the country: Qiao Feng and his son broke into Shaolin Temple at night!
It turns out that after Qiao Feng and his son dealt with the rest of the people from the battle at Yanmen Pass, they set their sights on Xuan Ci, the leader of that battle.
Xuanci was the abbot of Shaolin Temple. Qiao Feng had originally kept Ling Feng's instructions in mind, but he did not expect to clash with Shaolin so soon.
However, unable to resist Xiao Yuanshan's eagerness for revenge, Qiao Feng had no choice but to accompany him on a nighttime raid on Shaolin Temple.
The father and son broke into Shaolin Temple late at night, but were unfortunately discovered by patrolling monks. They had no choice but to engage in a fierce battle with many Shaolin monks.
Both were experts at the Innate Realm, with Qiao Feng even capable of challenging Grandmaster-level powerhouses.
After a fierce battle, despite the valiant resistance of the Shaolin monks, they were ultimately no match for the might of Qiao Feng and his son, suffering heavy casualties.
But Qiao Feng and his son did not stop there. Instead, they continued their killing spree, determined to find Xuan Ci and avenge their past grievances.
It wasn't until a mysterious Shaolin monk intervened that the two men who had been wreaking havoc were finally captured.
In this fierce battle, Qiao Feng and his son displayed astonishing strength, especially Qiao Feng, who fought against multiple Shaolin monks single-handedly.
Although Qiao Feng and his son were captured, Xiao Yuanshan was seriously injured during the capture and eventually died.
Qiao Feng originally had many connections with Shaolin Temple, and his plan was to target the chief villain... Xuan Ci.
He never expected that his father, Xiao Yuanshan, would die at Shaolin Temple. Now, he and Shaolin Temple are truly locked in a life-or-death feud!
The actions of Qiao Feng and his son attracted great attention from people in the martial arts world, especially Qiao Feng, who, as the former leader of the Beggars' Sect, was always under scrutiny.
This incident caused a huge uproar, and people in the martial arts world completely changed their attitude towards Qiao Feng, filled with fear and disgust towards him.
After all, it was common knowledge that Qiao Feng was a Khitan, and everyone thought he was an ungrateful wretch.
The Shaolin monks were shocked and outraged by the incident, believing that Qiao Feng and his son's actions had challenged the dignity of Shaolin and must be severely punished.
In light of this, Shaolin Temple decided to hold a martial arts conference a month later, inviting heroes from all walks of life to participate and discuss how to deal with Qiao Feng.
When Ling Feng learned of this news, a surge of anger welled up in his heart.
He was both angry at the reckless behavior of Qiao Feng and his son and dissatisfied with the ruthless actions of Shaolin.
He had warned Qiao Feng and his son many times, but they remained stubborn and have now fallen into a predicament.
However, what shocked Ling Feng even more was the Shaolin Temple's methods.
In his view, Xiao Yuanshan's death was by no means accidental, but rather a way for Shaolin to intimidate heroes from all over the world.
Faced with this situation, Ling Feng naturally couldn't sit idly by.
Since Shaolin has decided to hold a martial arts conference in a month, he naturally won't miss this opportunity.
He was determined to go to Shaolin Temple in person, cause a ruckus, and find a way to rescue Qiao Feng.
So, upon receiving the news, Ling Feng immediately went to find Xiaoyaozi and told him the whole story.
Ling Feng understood that if he were to go to Shaolin to rescue Qiao Feng, then the Xiaoyao Sect would definitely need Xiaoyaozi to come out and oversee things.
After listening to Ling Feng's explanation, Xiaoyaozi did not express any objection.
Through this period of time, he had come to know Ling Feng's personality and abilities well, and understood that even if he tried to dissuade him, it would be difficult to change Ling Feng's decision.
Furthermore, Xiaoyaozi was also dissatisfied with Shaolin's way of doing things.
Having gained Xiaoyaozi's support, Ling Feng didn't delay and immediately prepared to set off alone.
As for Wang Yuyan and the other two women, with their current strength, they can be considered among the top experts in the martial arts world.
However, Shaolin Temple, being a den of dragons and tigers, would still be a burden to Ling Feng.
Moreover, Ling Feng is going to cause a ruckus at Shaolin Temple this time, so it's inevitable that they might resort to desperate measures.
So Ling Feng left them at Lingjiu Palace for the time being. After all, with Xiaoyaozi in charge, no petty scoundrels would dare to cause trouble here.
The women knew the gravity of the situation and understood that Ling Feng's actions were extremely dangerous. They didn't want to become a burden to him, so they didn't insist on following him and chose to stay at Lingjiu Palace.
Since the three women had chosen to stay, and with Xiaoyaozi, a late-stage Grandmaster, guarding Lingjiu Palace, Ling Feng no longer had any worries and immediately set off alone.
Ling Feng traveled alone, and there were no delays along the way, so his speed was extremely fast. He arrived at Shaolin Temple in just seven days.
After arriving at Shaolin Temple, Ling Feng immediately sneaked in to check on Qiao Feng's condition.
Although Ling Feng can no longer easily use his internal energy, his cultivation level is still there, and with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill having reached the Grandmaster level, he easily infiltrated Shaolin.
When Ling Feng finally found Qiao Feng after going through all sorts of hardships, he discovered that Qiao Feng had been acupunctured in several places and was temporarily unable to use his internal energy.
Moreover, the place where he was imprisoned was heavily guarded, with sentries every five or ten steps.
Ling Feng pondered to himself:
"It seems that rescuing Qiao Feng without alerting the bald monks of Shaolin Temple won't be easy!"
He decided to observe the situation first and see if there was a suitable opportunity to take action.
If he couldn't find a good opportunity, he planned to wait until the martial arts tournament was held before making his move.
After all, he still wanted to give Shaolin a great gift, and if he acted rashly now, it might arouse their suspicion.
Furthermore, although Shaolin subdued Qiao Feng, they did not mistreat him, which made Ling Feng feel that it wouldn't be a big problem for Qiao Feng to stay here for the time being.
Of course, Ling Feng wouldn't forget that he had another chance to sign in here, and he couldn't leave empty-handed.
Therefore, he secretly lurked in the shadows and issued a sign-in command to the system.
"Ding!"
"Check-in successful!"
"Congratulations, host, on receiving the sign-in reward: the insight into the Sword Intent: Return of Ten Thousand Swords to One, and ten years of cultivation time for any martial arts technique."
As the system notification sounded, Ling Feng was overjoyed. Then, he heard the system notification continue:
"Ding"
"Next check-in location: Head to Overseas Knight Island at any time to check in."
Sword Intent Returns to its Origin: The ultimate understanding of the sword path by the Sword Saint Nameless, who can also summon sword-like weapons within a three-kilometer radius around the host for his use.
Ling Feng didn't find the sign-in reward particularly surprising.
After all, he already possessed a heaven-defying ultimate move like "One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate," so he didn't really care much for "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin."
However, when he saw the next check-in location, Ling Feng's mouth immediately formed an "O" shape.
"Xia Ke Dao?"
Ling Feng murmured to himself.
Although he had previously guessed that the immortal island Xiaoyaozi mentioned was Xia Ke Island, it was all just his speculation and had not been confirmed.
Unexpectedly, the system has confirmed it for him directly. It seems that after resolving things here, he really will have to make a trip to Xia Ke Island.
Although he didn't think much of the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One technique, Ling Feng still immediately fused it with his own after leaving Shaolin Temple in seclusion.
After all, even a small mosquito is still meat, and this "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" is a legendary move on par with "Sword Twenty-Three," so it must have its own extraordinary aspects.
Sure enough, when Ling Feng fused the Myriad Swords Return to One, it gave him a huge surprise.
The Ten Thousand Swords Return to One technique and Sword Twenty-Three have a similar effect, but the latter is even more powerful.
Both possess a domain, and as long as the enemy is within this domain, unless their strength is one level higher than the host's, it will be very difficult for them to escape easily.
Previously, the domain of Sword Twenty-Three was only twenty meters in radius. After Ling Feng merged with Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, the two also merged to a certain extent, and now the domain has expanded to one hundred meters in radius.
This made Ling Feng very excited. If the Sword Twenty-Three was just a conventional weapon before, then the Sword Twenty-Three now can be said to be a strategic weapon.
Once inside this vast area, Ling Feng can use countless sword energies to shred his enemies into mincemeat!
Moreover, the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One has an amazing ability—it can summon all sword-type weapons within a three-kilometer radius and make them obey its command!
This is undoubtedly an excellent weapon in group battles. Imagine countless swords flying in the air, forming a storm of steel. How spectacular that scene would be!
Subsequently, Ling Feng incorporated ten years of cultivation time from any technique into the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique.
With the fusion completed, this technique successfully advanced from the early stage of Grandmaster to the mid-stage of Grandmaster.
This breakthrough is crucial for Ling Feng.
Previously, due to the rapid improvement of the Northern Darkness Divine Art, his internal energy became unstable and unreliable, but with the breakthrough of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, this situation has been slightly improved.
He discovered that he could use his internal energy more stably, and could even use it continuously for half an hour without any hidden dangers.
Of course, if internal energy is used for too long, there is still a risk of internal energy riot.
But for Ling Feng, achieving the current state is already enough.
After all, with the powerful skills and ultimate moves he has accumulated, he can easily extricate himself if he cannot defeat the enemy in a short time.
With his current strength, if he wants to leave, basically no one can stop him.
After leaving Shaolin Temple, Ling Feng went to Qiao Feng's former home. Qiao Feng and his son went to Shaolin to seek revenge, so Qiao Sanhuai and his wife were not allowed to return. Ling Feng lived there alone.
Afterwards, Ling Feng began preparing a grand gift for the Shaolin Temple.
Fortunately, he had prepared a backup plan beforehand, so preparing this grand gift wasn't difficult.
As the Shaolin Martial Arts Tournament draws near, martial arts heroes from all walks of life arrive one after another.
Ling Feng was in no hurry to show himself; he would wait until the day of the martial arts tournament to appear.
Time flies like an arrow, and soon the day of the martial arts tournament arrived.
Early that morning, all the martial arts heroes who had come gathered at the foot of Shaolin Mountain, where the martial arts conference was also held.
At this time, a large number of people had gathered at the foot of Shaolin Mountain. Most of these people were well-known figures in the martial arts world, including some famous sects and independent martial arts practitioners.
Qiao Feng had already been brought here by Shaolin monks, and a group of Shaolin monks were guarding him.
Abbot Xuanci of Shaolin Temple was standing on a high platform, looking down at the martial arts heroes below. His face was expressionless, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Seeing that most of the heroes had arrived, he shouted loudly to the martial arts heroes below:
"Gentlemen, I am deeply grateful that you have come to participate in the martial arts conference held by my Shaolin Temple as promised."
Someone below immediately replied:
"It is an honor for us to participate in such a grand event."
Xuan Ci, without any modesty, immediately added:
"I'm sure you all already know the topic of today's martial arts conference."
"Indeed, Qiao Feng, that scoundrel, committed such heinous acts and deserves to die."
As soon as Xuan Ci finished speaking, a response erupted from below.
"Yes, he killed my father."
"He also killed my master!"
"He's a complete ungrateful scoundrel!"
……
The accusations that rang out made Qiao Feng's expression extremely complicated.
Although the father and son had killed many people during this period, weren't those people also deserving of death?
Now that he has become a prisoner, he can only blame his own lack of strength.
After Xuanci and the others calmed down a bit, they spoke again:
"Since everyone thinks so, then today we will hold a public trial for Qiao Feng and make him pay the price for everything he has done!"
After speaking, Xuan Ci looked at Qiao Feng, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.
Qiao Feng, however, remained calm, seemingly unconcerned about what would happen next.
Just as Xuan Ci was about to suggest how to deal with Qiao Feng, Murong Fu stepped forward first and challenged Qiao Feng:
"Hmph, Qiao Feng, you dog thief! The martial arts world is full of rumors that Qiao Feng is in the North and Murong is in the South. I, Murong Fu, am ashamed to be on par with you."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding martial arts practitioners began to echo his sentiments.
"Yes, how can that scoundrel Qiao Feng be compared to Murong Nan?"
"That's right. Compared to that scoundrel Qiao Feng, Young Master Murong is like heaven and earth."
"That's right, Qiao Feng, that Khitan bastard, is not worthy of being compared with us Central Plains martial arts people."
……
In an instant, all sorts of words belittling Qiao Feng rose and fell, never ceasing.
These words made Qiao Feng's face turn extremely ugly. He never expected that he would be so despicable in the eyes of these martial arts figures.
Upon hearing these words, Murong Fu laughed smugly.
He was secretly pleased with himself, feeling that he had finally gotten his revenge.
Actually, this was also Murong Fu's idea. He deliberately came out to criticize Qiao Feng before the martial arts conference, so as to increase his own reputation.
Ever since Ling Feng humiliated him at Lingjiu Palace some time ago, he has been depressed for a long time after returning.
Now that he's finally got this opportunity, he's definitely going to make a name for himself.
Just as Murong Fu was about to take the opportunity to kick someone when they were down, a loud, arrogant laugh rang out.
"Haha, what a bunch of hypocrites!"
As soon as those words disappeared, a figure suddenly appeared with ghostly speed beside Qiao Feng, who was surrounded by Shaolin monks.
They didn't even see how the figure appeared; they only felt that in the blink of an eye, the figure had already arrived beside Qiao Feng, who was heavily guarded.
The figure was none other than Ling Feng.
He had just mingled in the crowd, but he didn't step forward immediately.
He did this not because he was afraid of these people, but because he wanted to see Murong Fu perform.
After all, there's a saying: "If you want to destroy someone, first make them mad."
Ling Feng had this in mind: only by praising Murong Fu to a high position and then bringing him down hard could he truly slap him in the face.
So Ling Feng didn't make a move until Murong Fu uttered those arrogant words, at which point Ling Feng finally couldn't help but attack.
At this moment, looking at the shocked gazes around him, Ling Feng revealed a cold smile. He didn't take these people seriously at all.
