While the crowd below the stage was still in shock, Xia Qingqing had already silently walked onto the stage and arrived in front of Song Qing. She half-knelt on the ground and presented the Golden Snake Sword in her hand. "Please accept the Golden Snake King's keepsake!"
Situ Bolei, Shui Jian, and Cheng Qingzhu of the Green Bamboo Gang also half-knelt in front of Song Qing. "Young Master, please accept the Golden Snake King's token!"
Song Qing did not immediately take the Golden Snake Sword. Instead, he glanced at the other leaders of the Golden Snake Camp.
Feeling the oppressive gaze, the leaders who remained neutral — Jiao Waner of the Jiangsu Golden Dragon Gang, Rong Cai of the Zhejiang Dragon Gang, Nie Tianfeng of the Flying Tiger Valley of Huainan, and Zheng Qiyun of the Alliance of the 72 Islands — felt their scalps go numb.
At this time, Song Qing had just defeated Sword Immortal Ah Qing. His reputation had reached its peak. He stood on the stage like a demon god. The leaders looked at each other and couldn't help but curse. In fact, they didn't need to kneel in front of the new Golden Snake King. However, Xia Qingqing, the person with the highest status, knelt and the other leaders followed suit. They had to kneel even if they didn't want to.
The leaders helplessly walked up to the stage and half-knelt in front of Song Qing. "Young Master, please accept the Golden Snake King's token!"
Chu Hongliu of the Thousand Willow Manor was backed by the Red Flower Society. Sha Tongtian of the Evil Tiger Valley was backed by the Sun Moon Sect. Master Shi Li of the Qing Liang Temple was backed by the Shaolin Temple. Gai Mengchang and Meng Bofei were backed by Zuo Lengchan of the Song Mountain Sect. No matter which force it was, they couldn't stand on the same side of Song Qing. Some even had a blood feud with him.
"Amitabha!" Master Shi Li of the Qing Liang Temple was the first to speak. "As a monk, I've long been tired of the fighting and killing. I've been planning to go into seclusion to study Buddhism. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the right time. Now I can use this opportunity to announce that I've decided to leave the Golden Snake Camp and return to Shaolin Temple to study Buddhism."
"This old bald donkey didn't retreat earlier or later, but chose to retreat at this time. He obviously wants to attack Qing's prestige." Zhou Zhiruo never had a good impression of the monks of the Shaolin Temple, so naturally, she would not show any mercy with her words.
Obviously, Zhu Yuxi had the same idea. He sneered and said, "This monk is obviously very worldly, but he pretends to be an enlightened monk. If he really wants to live in seclusion, why would he recommend Xuzhu to compete for the Golden Snake King?"
Huang Rong frowned slightly. Great Master Shi Li's actions were clearly instructed by the Shaolin Temple. She knew that there was a rift between the Shaolin Temple and Song Qing, but this was only an internal contradiction. Now that the Barbarians were wreaking havoc, it was obvious that they should put aside their former enmity and unite against the common enemy. Who knew that the Shaolin Temple would actually make such a move at this critical moment?
With the status of the Shaolin Temple in the Wulin World, Song Qing might be in trouble this time … Huang Rong knew that if Song Qing handled this carelessly at this time, all his previous efforts would be in vain. Moreover, he had suffered such a big loss as soon as he came to the stage. How could he convince the public as the Golden Snake King in the future?
Chu Hongliu of the Thousand Willow Manor was about to step forward, but he found that Great Master Shi Li had stepped forward first. In this way, he was not so anxious. He sat up calmly and waited to see how Song Qing would deal with this.
"Oh?" Song Qing stared at Great Master Shi Li sharply and asked, "Great Master, are you going to withdraw from the Golden Snake Camp?"
"Yes!" Great Master Shi Li proudly puffed out his chest. Although Song Qing's Kung Fu was high, he had the Shaolin Temple behind him. Moreover, the two Peerless Masters, Xuan Cheng and Xuzhu, were not far away, so he naturally did not need to be afraid.
"Great Master, it was not enough that you killed the former Golden Snake King, Hero Yuan. Are you going to do the same thing again this time? Are you going to collude with the Manchurian Qing Tatars to kill me, the new Golden Snake King?" Although Song Qing's voice was soft, it was like a heavy bomb that made everyone's expression change.
"Nonsense!" Grandmaster Ten Powers immediately panicked. He couldn't bear such a big pot of shit.
"Tsk! Don't try to mislead people with lies. " Xuan Cheng could not sit still anymore. He stood up abruptly and slammed his Buddhist staff on the ground. The huge cracks on the stone floor showed how angry he was.
However, people were born to love gossip. Everyone knew that Yuan Chengzhi had died at the hands of Invincible East at the Mount Tai Meeting, but no one thought about it in detail. However, after Song Qing's reminder, many people suddenly began to think about why Yuan Chengzhi had suddenly appeared at the Mount Tai Meeting, and why the Manchurian Qing Imperial Court had ambushed Invincible East as if they had expected him to come.
If there was a traitor in the Golden Snake Camp, all of this could be explained …
"Great Master Shi Li couldn't have really killed him."
"Look at him, he looks like an enlightened monk. It doesn't seem like it."
"You don't know. You can know a person's face but not his heart."
…
The entire meeting was in a mess. Some believed it, and some didn't. As they listened to these discussions, Great Master Shi Li and Xuan Cheng's faces became redder and redder. It was obvious that they could not control the anger in their hearts.
"Qing, you still need evidence to say such things." Zhang SongXi stood up with a solemn face. He also did not like Shaolin Temple. Not only had they always slandered Zhang SanFeng as an abandoned disciple of Shaolin, but they had also caused Yu DaiYan to be crippled and Zhang CuiShan and his wife to commit suicide.
However, not liking them was one thing, and how to get along with them was another. Shaolin Temple was the leader of the righteous path. How could they casually frame others like this?
Song Qing said unhurriedly, "Perhaps some of you here should know that when I was in the Manchurian Qing Imperial Court, I was in charge of this spy organization. I was responsible for winning over people in Jianghu. Many people in Jianghu turned to me for fame and profit. Great Master Shi Li of Qing Liang Temple was one of them."
"Nonsense!" Great Master Shi Li was so angry that his whole body trembled. For a moment, he was somewhat speechless.
Song Qing did not give him a chance to defend himself. He quickly said, "Dare I ask Great Master Shi Li, which temple did the fake Manchurian Qing Emperor Fu Lin lose his hair when he escaped to Buddhism?"
"This … this …" Great Master Shi Li was speechless for a moment. Fu Lin hiding in Qing Liang Temple was an extremely secretive matter. Unfortunately, in order to get rid of Fu Lin, the fake Empress Dowager leaked the news, causing all sorts of evil people to cause havoc in Qing Liang Temple. Now, it was impossible to hide it even if he wanted to.
"So Qing Liang Temple has long turned to the Manchurian Qing Imperial Court."
"Not to mention Qing Liang Temple, I heard that Shaolin Temple has also accepted the conferment of the barbarian regime."
"People under other people's eaves have no choice but to bow their heads."
"Then why is this Great Master Shi Li mingling with the Anti-Qing Revolutionary Army all day long? It really is a bit suspicious."
"That's right. Do you think he really is a spy sent by the Manchurian Qing Imperial Court?"
…
Hearing the discussion of the people below the stage, Song Qing knew that the time was ripe. With a wave of his hand, a small box not far away flew into his hand.
Song Qing took out a yellow brocade with his left hand and opened it in front of the crowd. "This is the imperial edict of the Manchurian Qing Imperial Court conferring the title of the monks of Qing Liang Temple!"
The people below the stage had not yet digested this information. Song Qing took out another envelope and dropped a heavy bomb. "This is a letter from Great Master Shi Li pledging his loyalty to the fake Emperor Kangxi!"
Great Master Shi Li could no longer sit still. He roared, "Everyone, don't believe him! This is a forgery!"
Song Qing's eyes narrowed. In a cold voice, he said, "Your Excellency has leaked many secrets of the Golden Snake Camp to the Tatar Imperial Court over the years. Not only did you cause the Golden Snake Camp to suffer heavy casualties, you even caused the former Golden Snake King to die a violent death on Mount Tai. For a traitor like Your Excellency who sells his country for glory, today I will clean up the sect! "
