The heads of the three halls, four courtyards, and one pavilion of Shaolin Temple had gathered. As for the Kong generation, only the 'Glaring King Kong', Kong Xing, had come.
Actually, according to normal practice, the transfer of power in Shaolin Temple should have been very stable.
The Kong generation would all go into seclusion when their lifespans were about to end. Then, the Xuan generation would start to take power. Everything would be managed by the Xuan generation, while the Kong generation would no longer have the power to manage the specific affairs of Shaolin Temple.
However, there were some problems in this generation of Shaolin Temple. The previous Kong generation's abbot had died prematurely after discussing Dao with Li Boyang. Then, Xuan Tan had succeeded him, causing the Kong generation's monks to be forced into seclusion before their lifespans were exhausted. Of course, they were dissatisfied.
However, the rules of Shaolin Temple had always been like this. Even if they were unwilling to give up their power, they had to obediently give up their positions and go into seclusion in the mountain behind Shaolin Temple.
However, it was also because of this that they all objected to Xuan Tan's huge reform of Shaolin Temple, forcing Xuan Tan to leave. At the same time, they also showed their presence to the disciples of Shaolin Temple.
Therefore, this led to the matter that should have been decided by the Xuan generation. Now, they had to invite a Kong generation warrior to listen in to see if there was anything wrong.
After Xuan Ming told them what had happened, everyone present was infuriated. They hadn't expected the Magic Road Sect and Su Xin to really dare to make a move on Shaolin Temple. They were really audacious.
Xuan Ming said in a deep voice, "I miscalculated this matter. I didn't expect the Magic Road Sect to value the inheritance of the Great Sky Devil Venerable so much that they would not hesitate to attack my Shaolin Temple.
As for that Su Xin, it seems like he's determined to become an enemy of our Shaolin Temple. If there's an opportunity in the future, I'll kill him even if I have to risk going to war with the imperial court! "
Beside him, Kong Xing shouted, "Next time? This time, we've already been bullied. Is there going to be a next time? "
The heads of the other halls did not say anything. Although Xuan Guang had suffered a great loss this time, he had always followed Xuan Ming's lead.
Most of the halls in Shaolin Temple were not in charge of fighting, so they only listened and never expressed their opinions.
Xuan Ming frowned and said, "Martial Uncle, the Magic Road Sect has already shown that they are determined to get the inheritance of the Great Sky Devil Venerable. What can we do if we go now? Do we have to force the Magic Road Sect into a life-and-death struggle with us?
If the Magic Road Sect obtains the inheritance of the Great Sky Devil Venerable, it will at most increase their strength a little. It won't affect the situation of the entire Underworld too much.
If we force the Magic Road Sect into a corner, they will really go crazy. "
In fact, they could understand the behavior of the Magic Road Sect from another perspective. If the Magic Road Sect had been replaced by their Shaolin Temple, and if their Shaolin Temple had obtained the inheritance of the founder of the Buddhism Sect, Gautama Buddha, and the Magic Road Sect had come out to stop them, Shaolin Temple would probably go crazy as well.
This time, the Magic Road Sect's matter was different from Ji Haodian's. An eternal Human Emperor would affect the situation of the entire Wulin, but even if the inheritance of the Great Sky Devil Venerable was gathered in the hands of a sect, it would not be able to increase the strength of the sect by several times. At most, it could only increase the strength by a little in a short period of time. After all, for a sect, although techniques were the foundation, people were the most important.
Therefore, in order to prevent Ji Haodian from achieving eternal life, the Dao Sects had joined forces with the Buddhism Sect. All the major forces of the Righteous Path of Martial Arts had mobilized their experts to force Ji Haodian to give up on his idea of eternal life.
But now, in the face of the appearance of the Great Sky Devil Venerable's inheritance, the Righteous Path of Martial Arts seemed to be very lax. In the end, they all did their own things and did not interfere with each other. The reason was that the threat of the Diabolism was really very limited. It was not enough for them to have a life-and-death battle with the Diabolism.
Kong Xing snorted coldly and said, "We can put the matter of the Magic Road Sect aside for now, but are we going to let the matter of Su Xin go just like that?"
Xuan Zhen said lazily, "Then what else do you want? Now, Su Xin has probably gone to the Western Region with the people of the Magic Road Sect. What are we going to do at this time? Challenge the nerves of those Diabolism Sects? "
As for Kong Xing, Xuan Zhen did not treat him as a senior of the sect at all.
In his entire life, the only person he admired was his Senior Brother Xuan Tan. But in the end, Xuan Tan was forced to leave by them. Now, seeing that Kong Xing was still chattering away, he had long since lost his patience.
"Xuan Zhen! Is this how you talk to your Master? "Kong Xing looked at him coldly and said.
Xuan Zhen also stood up, his body emitting a cold glazed luster, appearing extremely cold.
"Master? In the path of martial arts, the one who succeeds is the master. Moreover, in the Shaolin Temple, you are not the one in charge! "Xuan Zhen said coldly.
Kong Xing was speechless by Xuan Zhen's words. In terms of strength, he really could not compare to Xuan Zhen.
Although Xuan Zhen was a little eccentric, in terms of talent, he was second only to Xuan Tan and Xuan Ku in the past few hundred years in the Shaolin Temple.
It could be said that among the martial artists of the Xuan generation, the one who had the most hope of breaking through to the True Martial Arts was not Xuan Ming, but Xuan Zhen.
Moreover, not only in the future, even if Kong Xing were to fight with Xuan Zhen now, he would not have the confidence to do so.
Most importantly, Xuan Zhen's last sentence really put him in a difficult position.
Now that Kong Xing was sitting here, it was indeed somewhat against the rules. After all, according to the rules set by the Shaolin Temple in the past, after the new generation of martial artists took over Shaolin Temple, the previous generation of martial artists should retire. In the end, they actually had a lot of power now.
"Enough!"
Xuan Ming shouted with a black face, stopping the two of them.
Unlike other sects, the martial artists of the Shaolin Temple may not get along well with each other, but there would rarely be internal strife. After all, the foundation of the Shaolin Temple was not martial arts, but Buddhism.
However, looking at the current situation, the friction between Xuan Zhen and Kong Xing was getting worse. Xuan Ming was really worried that they would develop into internal strife.
However, at this moment, a young monk ran in in a panic and said, "Abbot, bad news! There is news from outside that Su Xin killed the entire Prajna Mountain Villa. Not a single person survived! "
Hearing this, everyone's expression suddenly changed. Xuan Guang even directly smashed the table in front of him and shouted angrily, "Su Xin! You've gone too far! "
If Su Xin colluded with the Magic Road Sect to attack them because of benefits, then this time, Su Xin directly destroyed Prajna Mountain Villa. This was really a slap in the face of the Shaolin Temple.
Xuan Guang also deeply blamed himself.
Although he cultivated the Killing Dao, he had a Bodhisattva's heart and used thunderous methods. Although he held the Buddhist Commandment Blade in his hand, his heart was filled with mercy.
All these years, Xuan Guang had killed some evil Dao disciples, and he had also helped many people.
In Xuan Guang's opinion, if he had followed the abbot's orders and completely cut off relations with those secular disciples, and did not agree to Wei Guangyuan's request to come to Prajna Mountain Villa, perhaps these people would not have died.
Buddhism talked about karma. In Xuan Guang's opinion, he was the cause, and the people Su Xin killed were the consequences. This karma still had to be borne by him.
Xuan Guang suddenly turned his gaze to Xuan Ming and said hatefully, "Senior Brother! Su Xin's action is simply a slap in the face of the Shaolin Temple. He killed so many lives just like that. This person's actions are even more demonic than those of the Devil Dao!
If we don't force him into the Demon Subduing Tower now, he will definitely bring disaster to the pugilistic world in the future and cause even more killings! "
Xuan Guang also hated Su Xin to the extreme. He even directly put the hat of bringing disaster to the pugilistic world on Su Xin.
Kong Xing also said coldly, "Seat, at this time, is the Shaolin Temple still going to endure? A Su Xin can bully the face of the Shaolin Temple. If we don't do anything, how will the other martial artists in the pugilistic world look at the Shaolin Temple? "
Su Xin's action was too much. It made the Shaolin Temple's chiefs very angry, and at the same time, they felt very aggrieved.
It was not the right time for them to make a move at this time, and if they didn't make a move, they would feel aggrieved.
Moreover, this kind of thing would be much easier to solve if it was a demonic sect. Since you, Su Xin, killed my people and slapped my face. Alright then, I'll go kill your people and slap your face too.
The northwest road was the base camp of the Shadow Guard and the Northwest Army. Even though there were Yang Spirit Realm martial artists guarding there, it was not a problem for them to take advantage of the chaos and kill a few people.
But the problem was that the Shaolin Temple would never do such a thing to vent their anger on innocent people. If they could do it, then the Shaolin Temple would no longer be the Shaolin Temple.
Xuan Ming sighed. He now suspected whether Su Xin had done it on purpose or not, because the timing he chose was too coincidental. They couldn't make a move, but they were also unwilling to not make a move.
Xuan Ming couldn't make up his mind. Finally, he stood up and said, "This matter is not something I can decide. Wait until I ask the abbot."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was silent, including Kong Xing.
Xuan Ku was the only True Martial Realm expert in the Shaolin Temple. Even if the others were not convinced by his decision, they must carry out his orders.
Xuan Ming knocked on the door of Xuan Ku's seclusion place and said in a deep voice, "Abbot, there is a matter that I need you to personally decide."
With that, Xuan Ming told Xuan Ku everything that had happened.
Xuan Ku let out a sigh after hearing this, and the bitterness on his face became even more apparent.
"If our Shaolin Temple takes action now and gets involved in the battle of the Western Region, will we be afraid of being besieged by the demonic path?" Xuan Ku asked.
Xuan Ming hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "The demonic path attaches great importance to the inheritance of the Great Heavenly Devil Venerable. If only our Shaolin Temple takes action, then they will indeed take action."
"In order to kill Su Xin, is it worth it for our Shaolin Temple to go all out and fight with the demonic path?" Xuan Ku asked again.
Xuan Ming's face suddenly showed a thoughtful expression. This time, he did not answer.
