Chapter 258 - Alliance Head Tendency
Hearing the words from the bottom of his heart, Ling Xiao smiled in satisfaction.
"I believe that after you leave the Shaolin Temple, you will become even better. Get up and clean yourself up." Ling Xiao laughed faintly.
Maybe because freedom had given Xu Zhu a new power, even though she was extremely weak, she still tried her best to stand up and follow Ling Xiao out of the dark dungeon.
Seeing Xu Zhu stagger, Ling Xiao knew that his injuries were not light and she did not have a good rest. Her entire being was extremely weak, so she called over the Shaolin Temple's disciples and gathered a few pellets that could help him recover her strength.
As he was waiting for Xu Zhu to bathe and change her clothes, digesting the medicinal pellets, Ling Xiao saw the abbot walking over with a heavy expression.
"Lord Abbot, I thought you wouldn't come back." Ling Xiao looked at the abbot and said with a smile that was not a smile.
The disciple he had looked after for so many years, was now about to leave the sect. As his master, was he really willing to let Xu Zhu leave just like that?
At least he would come to see her. Even if he really couldn't bear to, he would definitely come to bid her farewell.
After changing clothes, Xu Zhu walked out of the bathroom. After bathing and feeling refreshed, her mental state was much better, seems like the effects of the pill she consumed was still pretty good.
Seeing that the abbot was present, Xu Zhu was startled, and then silent. The two of them did not say anything, and from the looks of it, saying goodbye was not something that could be said easily.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao could not help but shake his head, and then said: "Since things have already come to this, there is no point in talking any further, let's just treat it as doing it for each other, Xu Zhu will continue staying in Shaolin Temple and nothing good will happen, leaving is the best option."
After breaking this silence and awkwardness, the atmosphere immediately became much better.
Perhaps it was because Xu Zhu felt guilty towards the Shaolin Temple and the abbot, so she took the lead and spoke first.
"This disciple did not satisfy Master and felt deeply guilty, and knew that I am not worthy to continue staying in Shaolin Temple, but master will always be father to me, and this disciple will forever remember your kindness and nurturing towards me. If in the future, someone needs this disciple, he will definitely be duty-bound!" Xu Zhu looked at the abbot and cupped his fists and said.
Hearing this, the abbot closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then nodded his head and said: "It's good that you have this kind of awareness, follow Sect Master Ling, Old Monk is also more at ease, go."
With that, the abbot turned around and left. It seemed that making this decision and saying his goodbyes were truly difficult to bear.
Xu Zhu watched as the abbot's back disappeared into the distance, and started crying. Seeing that, Ling Xiao raised her eyebrows and said: "Hurry up and get ready, don't whimper like a woman."
With that, Ling Xiao left the room, and led Zhuang Juexin who was waiting at the door straight to the entrance of Shaolin Temple to wait there.
The Shaolin Temple had originally prepared a car for them, but Ling Xiao didn't like it. Because the space was small, three men sitting inside the car wasn't comfortable.
When he saw Xu Zhu again, he discovered that the buddhist beads on his neck had disappeared, and his clothes had been changed into coarse hemp clothes. Other than his bald head, it was impossible to tell that he was once a disciple of the Shaolin Temple.
"Let's go, I'll bring you guys back to Beggar Gangs." Ling Xiao did not have much of an evaluation of Xu Zhu, after shouting loudly, she raised her whip.
Seeing this, the two people behind quickly followed.
Not long after Ling Xiao left the Shaolin Temple, Ling Xiao charged into the Shaolin Temple alone, defeated the abbot, broke through seventy-two unique techniques, and defeated the strongest expert in the Shaolin Temple's Scripture Pavilion. The news of the Sweeping Monk quickly spread throughout the entire Jianghu like a bamboo shoot after a spring rain.
Regardless of whether it was a large sect or small sect, everyone knew. This was because it would affect who was the next Master Wu Lin.
At the same time, the news of Xu Zhu being taken away had also become a topic of discussion for these people. They were very clear that the moment Xu Zhu was taken away and Shaolin Temple was defeated, everyone's attention would naturally turn to the challenger, which meant Ling Xiao.
Originally, the Shaolin Temple was its target, but now, Ling Xiao had replaced it.
If one wanted to fight for the Master Wu Lin, one must challenge Ling Xiao. But in the entire martial arts world, who would dare to make a move against Ling Xiao?
With the influence that Ling Xiao currently had over the Jianghu, unless he was someone who completely shut himself away, no one would possibly say they didn't know Ling Xiao.
Then, they would naturally know Ling Xiao's strength and the strong power behind him.
Not to mention the overall strength of the number one clan in the world, Beggar Gangs, who also had a strong background as a subsidiary clan of the Beggar Gangs, and the reputation of the King of the Southern Courtyard, Ling Xiao, who had established himself as the clan leader and became the monarch of a generation, no one dared to denounce him.
After returning to the Beggar Gangs, Ling Xiao and Xiao Feng recounted the events that happened, and then introduced Zhuang Juxian.
After greeting Zhuang Juxian, Xiao Feng sent people to bring Zhuang Juxian to his own room. As for Xu Zhu, he said that he wanted to walk on his own, so Ling Xiao let him go.
In the discussion hall, only Ling Xiao and Xiao Feng were left.
"Sect Master Ling, I never thought that the situation would develop so quickly." Xiao Feng's face was solemn, but his worries could not be seen, as he was feeling a bit excited.
Ling Xiao, however, was extremely calm. After drinking a mouthful of the tea-water, he said: "It will happen sooner or later.
Hearing this, Xiao Feng could not help but become speechless, and said: "Sect Master Ling, if it wasn't for you taking the initiative to go to Shaolin Temple, the people there would most likely be fighting for the rights to enter the Master Wu Lin for a while."
Looking at Xiao Feng, Ling Xiao laughed: "Letting them cause trouble is interesting, but it doesn't have any substantial assistance to us, adding the huge pressure Shaolin Temple is facing, if we do not resolve it soon, who knows how long Shaolin Temple can hold on."
Xiao Feng scratched his head and said: "But still, we can't bring the trouble onto ourselves."
Hearing that, Ling Xiao laughed coldly: "I would like to see, who dares to look for trouble with me?"
Hearing Ling Xiao's arrogant words, Xiao Feng was speechless for a moment. He could not refute this sentence because with Ling Xiao, he was invincible.
"Is there something you want to say when you mention it?" Ling Xiao put down the teacup and looked at Xiao Feng.
After muttering to himself for a moment, Xiao Feng raised his head and said: "The date of Master Wu Lin's election is not far, since Sect Master Ling has already taken the initiative to attack, then the disciples of Beggar Gangs will definitely support and help you, we need to build up our momentum, and strive to capture you in one go."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao nodded his head and said: "Mn, you're right. With my current strength and influence, I have already occupied the majority of the hearts of humans, but in the end, there will still be some blind people who would cause trouble.
