Shen Wuming looked at Xuan Guan and a smile appeared on his rough face. "Master Xuan Guan, you're not joking, are you?"
Xuan Guan said plainly, "I've never been one to joke."
The smile on Shen Wuming's face gradually disappeared. He said in a low voice, "If that's the case, then forgive me for being powerless.
The Seven Heroes Guild does indeed have a grudge with Su Xin, but that was just a conflict between the younger generation. Even if I wanted to settle the score with Su Xin, this is not the time.
Right now, Su Xin is one of the four Super Arresters of Six Doors and an expert on the Earth List. The Seven Heroes Guild cannot bear the karma of killing him, nor do we want to bear it. "
In terms of hatred, Shen Wuming really hated Su Xin.
Shen Tianyao was his most beloved daughter, but she had been beaten by Su Xin to the point that she was in a trance. It had been a few years, and she still hadn't walked out of the shadow.
Seeing his daughter like this, how could Shen Wuming not hate Su Xin?
If there was a chance, Shen Wuming definitely wouldn't let Su Xin go.
But the premise was that there was a chance. He couldn't go to Beiyuan Path to kill Su Xin so brazenly.
Shen Wuming was the strongest in the Seven Heroes Guild, but the Seven Heroes Guild didn't belong to him alone.
Killing the four Super Arresters of Six Doors was a mortal enemy of the Imperial Court.
Just as Shen Wuming had said, the karma of this matter was too great. The Seven Heroes Guild couldn't bear it, nor did they want to bear it.
Dragging the Seven Heroes Guild down for his personal grudge was something the other four guild leaders wouldn't agree to, let alone him.
Xuan Guan said in a low voice, "The Seven Heroes Guild doesn't need to bear this karma."
"If we don't need the Seven Heroes Association to bear the burden, don't tell me the Shaolin Temple will?" Wuming Shen's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Killing the four Super Arresters of Six Doors, even Shaolin Temple couldn't bear this karma because they would have to face the wrath of the Imperial Court.
The people of Shaolin Temple were not fools. The current abbot, Arhat Du 'e, Xuan Ku, was also a master of patience.
To drag the Shaolin Temple into the struggle with the imperial court for the sake of Jueyan's life, anyone in Jianghu would think that this was an unwise choice.
Furthermore, if the Shaolin Temple really wanted to bear this karma, then why did you come looking for the Seven Heroes Alliance?
With the strength of Shaolin Temple, just a few Harmonious God Realm experts would be enough to kill Su Xin. It was guaranteed that he wouldn't even have the chance to escape.
Hence, from Nameless Shen's point of view, Xuan Guan had approached the Seven Heroes Guild to gather a few more powers to attack together.
In the end, if the Imperial Court investigated and found out that Su Xin was killed by a few of them, then the law wouldn't punish the masses. The Imperial Court wouldn't be able to take action against a few top powers in Jianghu at the same time. This was probably what Shaolin Temple was thinking.
However, at this time, Xuan Guan shook his head and said, "Heavenly King Shen, you misunderstood me. This karma will not be borne by Shaolin Temple, but by me alone.
After this matter, whether Su Xin is dead or alive, I will no longer be a member of Shaolin Temple. "
Nameless Shen looked at Xuan Guan in shock. He instantly understood what Xuan Guan meant. He actually wanted to exchange his life for Su Xin's!
After a moment of silence, Nameless Shen suddenly said, "Is it worth it?"
Although there were many people in this world who said they weren't afraid of death, how many of them were truly unafraid of death?
Moreover, the longer they lived, the stronger they became, and the more power they held in their hands. They were the ones who were most afraid of death.
People like Nameless Shen, who rose to prominence in Jianghu and held a high position, had also fought for a lifetime.
He didn't lack the desire to fight to the death, but he also didn't want to die like this.
Therefore, he admired Xuan Guan. He admired him for making such a choice for his dead disciple.
One must know that even though Xuan Guan looked old now, it seemed like his lifespan would run out at any time.
However, among the various martial arts and secret books in Shaolin Temple, there were a few that were specially used to maintain one's health. When used together with Buddhist scriptures, one could wash away the murderous aura. As long as one didn't use martial arts, one could live longer.
Moreover, Shaolin Temple's Medicine King Courtyard was a famous alchemy holy land in Jianghu. Some of the medicinal pills produced by Shaolin Temple could also increase one's lifespan and slow down the aging process.
An old monk like Xuan Guan at his age and strength was basically treated like a treasure in Shaolin Temple. Shaolin Temple would never let him die like this. Therefore, Xuan Guan had all kinds of medicinal pills.
If there were no accidents, Xuan Guan could live for at least another ten years.
However, in the end, Xuan Guan wanted to avenge his disciple. He was willing to give up more than ten years of his life. Nameless Shen admitted that he couldn't make such a decision.
"Some things are worth it if you think it's worth it."
Xuan Guan smiled and said, "Heavenly King Shen, have you thought about it?"
Nameless Shen nodded and said, "Yes, but the Seven Heroes Guild will only send a few warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm. We won't admit to the outside world that the Seven Heroes Guild was involved in this matter. I will push everything to you."
Although he admired what Xuan Guan did, he was the leader of the Seven Heroes Guild. He had to think for the Seven Heroes Guild first.
Xuan Guan nodded and said, "No problem. I said that I will bear all the consequences of this matter."
Nameless Shen nodded and immediately asked Dai Moyan to bring five warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm to go with Xuan Guan.
After leaving the Seven Heroes Guild, Xuan Guan brought the people of the Seven Heroes Guild to the Blue Blood Castle on the South Mountain Road.
Inside the Blue Blood Castle, the Nine Transformations God Monarch Han Qianshan was in seclusion and couldn't be disturbed. All the affairs in the Blue Blood Castle were handled by the Nine Battles Origin Dragon Chen Tiandong and other Harmonious God Realm warriors.
The trip to the Blue Blood Castle was much easier to talk to than the Seven Heroes Guild.
This was because Xuan Guan had already convinced the people of the Seven Heroes Guild to come to the Blue Blood Castle. This naturally made the people of the Blue Blood Castle want to follow suit.
People were like this. It was difficult to make a decision alone. But once someone made the decision in front of them, the second decision would be much easier.
So when the Seven Heroes Guild expressed their stance and sent people to follow Xuan Guan, the people of the Blue Blood Castle nodded in agreement.
Su Xin's subordinate, Gao Changqing, had killed the son of the Devil Luo Blade, Shangguan Tang. This hatred was not small.
Shangguan Tang originally wanted to find a chance to take revenge, but after hearing that Su Xin had become one of the Four Great Arresters and was ranked on the Earth Ranking, he completely gave up on this idea.
However, this incident had given him an opportunity to take revenge. As such, Shangguan Tang took the initiative to go. Just like the Seven Heroes Association, she only brought five warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm with her.
The Seven Heroes Guild and the Blue Blood Castle had a total of 12 warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm. Xuan Guan was old, but he still had the strength to fight. With such a lineup, not to mention Su Xin, even a Harmonious God Realm warrior could be killed.
However, Xuan Guan was still worried. He wanted to find another person, or more accurately, another force.
Although the Seven Heroes Guild and the Blue Blood Castle had sent people, Xuan Guan knew that they had come with the intention of fighting a windfall.
If something went wrong or unexpected, the people from these two sects would definitely be the first to escape.
Therefore, Xuan Guan wanted to find them. Only they were on his side, and they were also people who would sincerely help Xuan Guan.
Xuan Guan let the Seven Heroes Guild and the Blue Blood Castle go to the Northern Plains Path first, while he took a detour to the Guangling Path.
Among the 49 paths of the Zhou Kingdom, the Guangling Path was the most inconspicuous one. The only top force located here was the Medicine King Valley, one of the eight heretical sects.
The disciples of the Medicine King Valley focused on refining medicine and never participated in the disputes of the Jianghu. Therefore, the small Guangling Path was very peaceful. Only a few merchants selling medicine and pills were a little more common.
Outside the Ningzhou Prefecture of the Guangling Path, there was a dense peach forest. The scenery was extremely beautiful, but no one came here to enjoy the scenery. This was because everyone in the Guangling Path knew that this was the secluded place of a strong person.
Very few people knew exactly how strong he was, but the martial arts forces of the Guangling Path all warned their disciples not to wander around the peach forest. Otherwise, if something happened, not only would they not care, but they would also directly expel the disciple who did not listen to the advice and caused trouble from the sect.
At this time, Xuan Guan walked into the depths of the peach forest that no one had set foot in for many years.
In the deepest part of the peach forest, a low thatched hut appeared in front of Xuan Guan.
There was someone brewing tea in front of the thatched hut. It was a middle-aged man who looked like he was in his forties. His long hair was not tied up, but just casually let down his back. He was also wearing a loose moon-white monk's robe.
The middle-aged man had an elegant and square appearance, and his temperament was just and peaceful. However, there was a hideous scar on his face that stretched from the right side of his forehead to the right side of his cheek. This destroyed his peaceful temperament and made him look slightly ferocious.
Xuan Guan walked over and sat in front of him, but did not say a word.
The middle-aged man handed a cup of tea to Xuan Guan and smiled, "Why are you not waiting for death in the Shaolin Temple? What are you doing here?"
Xuan Guan did not drink the tea, nor did he care about the middle-aged man's bad tone. He only said softly, "Jueyan was killed by one of the four Super Arresters of the Six Doors, Su Xin. I want to ask you to take action and gather the scattered disciples outside to help me kill Su Xin."
Hearing Xuan Guan's words, the middle-aged man's face showed a hint of mockery, "Your Shaolin Temple is really shameless. What do you think we are? Respectable buckets?
When you need us, you carry us in front of you. When you don't need us, you throw us to the side because we are smelly. You want us to go as far away as possible.
Now you want to kill the four Super Arresters of the Six Doors. You have some guts.
But you don't do this kind of troublesome thing yourself. Instead, you want us to do it for you. We do all the dirty work, but in the end, you still want us to be called the scum of the Jianghu by the Shaolin Temple. Do you think we are idiots? "
The middle-aged man raised his head. The knife scar on his face trembled. Suddenly, a shocking killing intent came, completely destroying his previous calm temperament.
