Chapter 45: Your Man Is So Awesome

Yu Xian went to Shaolin Temple, but unlike his visit to the Quanzhen Sect, he didn’t openly go there to challenge anyone to a duel.

The purpose of visiting the Quanzhen Sect, besides witnessing the Tian Gang Bei Dou Formation, was to discipline those who deserved it. However, Shaolin Temple hadn’t caused him any trouble, so he didn’t want to make another enemy.

Although the Songshan Sect could act wantonly in the Jianghu, perhaps with the tacit support of Shaolin Temple, that support was covert, and it had nothing to do with him, Yu Xian.

Who knew how many Old Monsters were hidden within Shaolin Temple?

Although Yu Xian was confident in his current strength, he wasn’t reckless, especially since he didn’t need to fight anyone to obtain Shaolin’s Martial Arts.

He only needed to arrive at the gate, and the System would automatically sign in.

Of course, before going to Shaolin Temple, he had thoroughly looted the Songshan Sect. The Songshan Sect was far wealthier than any of the other Four Peaks Sects. Zuo Lengchan had connections with many underworld figures, and most of his earnings were illicit wealth.

Yu Xian naturally wouldn’t let it go; no matter how much he took, his space dimension could hold it all.

After finishing the plundering, Yu Xian quietly arrived outside the mountain gate of the Shaolin Temple, waiting for the System sign-in.

【Ding, congratulations to the Host for successfully signing in at the Songshan Shaolin Temple. Rewards: Shaolin Seventy-Two Ultimate Techniques, Muscle, Ten Years of Internal Energy. The System is in a good mood and specially rewards the Marrow Washing Classic.】

See, he got great rewards again.

The Shaolin Seventy-Two Ultimate Techniques alone were incredible, covering palm techniques, finger techniques, weaponry, special skills, and more—so many that Yu Xian didn’t know which to use first.

However, Yu Xian did have some he wanted to use, such as the Thousand-Hand Tathagata Palm, the Prajna Zen Palm, and the Golden Bell Shield.

Anyway, the System automatically instilled them; he knew them all, and they didn’t conflict. He could use whichever he wanted.

He had struck it rich again this time.

Then there were the Muscle and the Marrow Washing Classic… There was no need to even mention these two; they were Shaolin’s supreme Internal Skill and Mind-Cultivation Technique. The Muscle focused on strengthening the exterior and bones, while the Marrow Washing Classic focused on refining the internal essence.

Under the System’s infusion, Yu Xian felt his body undergo a qualitative change from the inside out with these two techniques. It made him feel terrifyingly strong at that moment, so much so that he wouldn’t be afraid even if he charged into Shaolin Temple alone.

At this moment, Yu Xian’s smile was harder to suppress than an AK.

However, Yu Xian didn’t make any sound; he quietly left after the sign-in was successful.

With the massive commotion at the Songshan Sect, the Shaolin Temple would likely send people to investigate.

Upon returning to the Inn, he found Ning Zhongze and the Little Dragon Girl sitting together waiting for him. Seeing him push the door open, they immediately stood up to greet him.

“How was it? Successful?” Ning Zhongze asked with concern.

“Mm, the Shaolin Ultimate Techniques are already in my hands.” Yu Xian’s eyes were full of triumph.

This time, he had not only gained the Martial Arts of the Songshan Sect but also all of Shaolin’s techniques. Although he wouldn’t dare claim he could dominate the Jianghu yet, there wouldn’t be many in the Jianghu who could be his match.

Upon hearing this, Ning Zhongze’s eyes lit up.

How long had it been since Yu Xian separated from them? He had already mastered Shaolin’s Martial Arts? A man with a cheat was indeed formidable, and this man with a cheat was *her* man.

Yes, Yu Xian referred to his special abilities as a ‘cheat,’ which is what he told her! She trusted Yu Xian completely; whatever he said was true. Therefore, Yu Xian was a man with a cheat.

“You know them all? Shaolin not only has the Seventy-Two Ultimate Techniques but also many profound Martial Arts,” the Little Dragon Girl asked doubtfully.

She didn’t know as many secrets about Yu Xian as Ning Zhongze did; she only knew that Yu Xian was mysterious and very powerful.

“Of course, your man is awesome!” Yu Xian said smugly.

System: You’re awesome? I’m the one who’s awesome. Without me, you’d be nothing.

“Oh.” The Little Dragon Girl didn’t doubt it anymore; if Yu Xian said so, it was so.

Although he was a bit resigned to the Little Dragon Girl’s reaction, the current Little Dragon Girl had changed a lot, gradually absorbing the aura of the mortal world and living more like a person. Yu Xian was quite happy about that.

“This time we destroyed the Songshan Sect, the Jianghu will surely be shaken, but in doing so, we’ve eliminated a great menace,” Ning Zhongze said with emotion.

Yu Xian had told her that Zuo Lengchan had absorbed quite a few masters from unorthodox paths, consolidating his hegemony through military suppression and political maneuvering.

This was also why she was determined to help Yu Xian destroy the Songshan Sect.

“Mm, once Songshan is gone, the Five Peaks will become Four Peaks. Not only Huashan, but the other peaks should also be safe. I just wonder if Old Yue will try to annex the other Sects.” Yu Xian was somewhat eager to see Old Yue’s expression when he found out he destroyed the Songshan Sect; it should be priceless.

“Yue Buqun has such ambitions?” Ning Zhongze couldn’t help but ask.

She could now discuss Yue Buqun calmly. After all, that man was no longer related to her. Her only concern was Yue Lingshan and Huashan.

“Sister Ning truly doesn’t understand Old Yue! But that’s because Old Yue hides too deeply. At this Five Peaks Alliance Conference, he was aiming for the position of Five Peaks Alliance Leader,” Yu Xian said with a smile.

It wasn’t strange that Ning Zhongze didn’t understand Yue Buqun after living with him for over twenty years; it was mainly because Yue Buqun hid himself so deeply. On the surface, he was gentle, modest, and refined, but in reality, his schemes ran very deep.

Ning Zhongze fell silent upon hearing this.

“We’ll just watch. Yue Buqun will need to clean up the mess left by the Songshan Sect.” Yu Xian wasn’t very interested in how Yue Buqun would unify the Four Peaks in the future, as long as he didn’t come looking for trouble with him.

“Mm.”

The news that the Songshan Sect was annihilated, its Sect Leader Zuo Lengchan died without a complete corpse, and not a single member of the entire Sect survived, spread throughout the Jianghu.

No one knew who the killer was.

Some speculated it was the bloodthirsty sword demon Yu Xian, because many Songshan Sect Disciples had their throats slit with a single sword strike.

However, news soon spread from the other four Sects.

In fact, the people who originally killed members of the Five Peaks Sword Sect were not Yu Xian, but the Songshan Sect. Their goal was to frame Yu Xian and make him an enemy of the Five Peaks Sword Sect.

Because the Songshan Sect had once sent the Thirteen Great Protectors to assassinate Yu Xian but failed and were instead killed, the Songshan Sect dared not confront Yu Xian directly, so they conceived a plan to frame him. They wanted to incite Yu Xian and the Five Peaks Sword Sect against each other, allowing the Songshan Sect to reap the benefits while the others exhausted their strength.

While the destruction of the Songshan Sect was indeed Yu Xian’s doing, the Songshan Sect brought it upon themselves. They coveted Yu Xian’s Cultivation Techniques, and when they couldn’t obtain them by force, they tried to frame him, thus inviting the calamity of annihilation.

As for who Yu Xian was?

Yu Xian hailed from a reclusive, mysterious Sect, the Beyond the Heavens, and was the current Jianghu leader of the Beyond the Heavens this generation. His Martial Arts were unfathomable, possibly above the Grandmaster level.

A Grandmaster cannot be insulted!

The Songshan Sect had kicked an iron plate.

Although the Songshan Sect deserved its destruction, Yu Xian’s methods were cruel. Relying on his superior Martial Arts to casually destroy a Sect was indeed the act of a Devil Head. The title ‘bloodthirsty sword demon’ was not wrongly given.

When Yu Xian heard this news about himself, he merely smiled and dismissed it. He knew that Yue Buqun had spread all of this.

Yue Buqun had handled the aftermath of the Songshan Sect quite well.

He didn’t care about others calling him a Devil Head. Strength was the ultimate principle.

At this point, he clarified his goal in this Comprehensive Martial World: To be invincible here!
