Broken walls and crumbling ruins were everywhere, and the ground was stained with dried black blood, a shocking sight!
Boulders collapsed, the mountain caved in, and even the Zhenwu Great Hall was split in half!
The once solemn and majestic Wudang Mountain was now a ruin!
A single glance brought heart-wrenching pain!
The continuous rows of houses on the mountain were mostly destroyed.
One part was caused by Fahai, and the other part was due to the great battle!
The current Wudang Mountain was riddled with holes, desolate, and had long lost its former glory!
The mountain was deathly silent; not a sound could be heard!
Logically, it was the time for the Disciples' morning cultivation, and clear chanting should have been heard.
Chongxu and Yun Feiyang's fates were unknown.
The Wudang Seven Heroes were all severely injured, waiting outside the damaged True Martial Great Hall.
Although the True Martial Great Hall was dilapidated, it could still provide shelter from the wind and rain.
Though all were injured, they still paced anxiously outside the hall.
Finally, the hall doors opened.
Zhang Sanfeng, looking haggard, slowly walked out.
"Master, how is Elder Chongxu?"
"Master, is Elder Chongxu well? And Junior Brother Feiyang?"
Looking at his scarred Disciples, Zhang Sanfeng felt a pang in his heart, sighed deeply, and slowly shook his head.
"Chongxu presided over the formation's core and bore the final blow; I'm afraid there's nothing more to be done."
"As for Feiyang, his life was saved, but his Foundation is completely ruined."
"I have used Internal Energy to re-establish his Meridians."
"From now on, the path of martial arts will be fraught with difficulties."
"If he can maintain the position of a Great Grandmaster, it would be a great fortune."
Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with grief and indignation, tears streaming down their faces.
"Elder Chongxu!"
"Junior Brother Yun..."
Someone raised their head, their eyes filled with resentment.
"It's all Fahai's doing!"
"Our Wudang Mountain will never rest until he is dead!"
Zhang Sanfeng seemed to have aged many years in an instant, and he looked at Song Yuanqiao.
"Yuanqiao, our Wudang Mountain Disciples have suffered heavy casualties. What is the current situation?"
Upon hearing this question, Song Yuanqiao lowered his head, tears in his eyes.
"Reporting to Master, Wudang Mountain Disciples have suffered extremely heavy casualties. In this battle, nearly two hundred people were lost!"
"What!!"
Even a powerful figure like Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but sway and feel dizzy upon hearing this.
At this moment, his heart was burning with rage!
Fahai!
What a Fahai!
He had thought that by forcing Shaolin in the name of justice, he could make him self-destruct.
He never expected that it would instead bring another catastrophe to his Wudang Mountain!
Zhang Sanfeng's heart was churning with uncontrollable fury!
At this thought, his Qi and blood surged, aggravating old injuries, and he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, staining his beard.
"Master!"
"Grandmaster!"
"Sect Leader!"
Exclamations rang in his ears, and the Disciples rushed forward to surround him.
Zhang Sanfeng gently waved his hand, "Just a minor injury, it's nothing."
"Yuanqiao, go and settle our fellow Schools and wait for my return after healing."
"Yes, Master!"
"Later, you personally go to Six Doors, and in the name of Wudang Mountain's Sect Leader, inform them of this matter."
"Our Wudang Mountain is willing to join forces with Six Doors to go to Shaolin together and capture Fahai!"
Upon hearing this, the Wudang Mountain Disciples' spirits lifted slightly!
What profound trauma Fahai had brought upon them!
Causing Wudang Mountain to lose so many elites, and their School to be so dilapidated!
If Fahai did not die, how could this hatred and resentment ever be appeased!
As time passed, Fahai's deeds quickly spread throughout the four seas.
Major Schools and forces all received the news, discussing it animatedly.
Could this be achieved by an ordinary Grandmaster?
So-called invincibility was probably like this!
More and more people began to sincerely call him:
"Wang Xianzhi the Second!"
His talent was extraordinary, almost comparable to that old monster!
The next sixty years might be Fahai's era of unmatched dominance!
Such a figure was truly a rare sight in a century!
One of the first forces to learn the news was the Dragon Guard Villa.
As the number two intelligence agency under heaven, second only to Tianji Tower, Dragon Guard Villa had ears and eyes throughout the Jianghu.
The entire world was under its control; nothing was unknown, nothing was not understood!
Everything that happened on Wudang Mountain was reported to the Villa by carrier pigeon as soon as it concluded.
Zhu Wushi's eyes were deep. After reading the secret report, he tightly clutched the slip of paper in his hand, his expression grave.
Fahai...
Wang Xianzhi the Second!
Among the younger generation, he was the most promising to reach the peak!
With his own strength, he suppressed the entire Wudang Mountain!
His talent was extraordinary, rarely seen in the world!
Even Nangong Pu She, the number one on the heavenly pride ranking, seemed slightly inferior to him!
How wonderful it would be if such a person could be used by me!
The position of Earth-Ranked Investigator had been vacant for twenty years, simply because no one was capable enough to fill it.
Heaven, Earth, Black, Yellow!
The Earth-Ranked Investigator was the last one, and the one he valued most!
Lord Shenhou stood before the hall, with his hands behind his back, exuding an extraordinary Aura and abundant confidence.
Now, the obstructing Cao Zhengchun was dead, and the Eastern Depot was weak, unable to withstand a single blow!
Next, it was Six Doors' turn!
Zhuge Zhengwo, that old fellow, as a Grand Tutor, wholeheartedly assisted the young emperor!
Six Doors was the sharpest blade in the young emperor's hand!
To change the world, Six Doors must first be destroyed!
In this battle with Fahai, the Four Great Arresters were all severely injured!
In fact, he had already received confirmed news:
The Foundation of the four was damaged, and their cultivation would likely not advance further; they were almost crippled!
Not worth mentioning.
As for Zhuge Zhengwo, he had already sustained old injuries from his battle with Taixu!
No longer a major concern!
The time was ripe!
With the Eastern Depot destroyed, Six Doors was the next target!
Once Six Doors fell, he, Zhu Wushi, could rule over the Great Ming!
"Fahai, you are truly my Lord's benefactor."
Zhu Wushi murmured softly, his eyes burning with the flame of ambition!
At the same time, inside the Number One Under Heaven Villa.
The Heaven, Earth, and Black Investigators had quietly gathered.
Haitang couldn't help but let out a soft gasp after reading the intelligence in her hand.
When Haitang first met him, he was far from as powerful as he was now.
But she never expected that in such a short time, Fahai had grown to a point she could only look up to.
This made her sigh with emotion.
Fahai, time and again, shattered her understanding.
Duan Tianya said, "This Fahai is truly no ordinary person."
"In this way, Shaolin will likely be caught in a whirlpool of public opinion, and its thousand-year reputation will face a major test."
Duan Tianya saw through the crucial point behind the situation at a glance.
As the Heaven-ranked Investigator, his judgment had never been wrong.
Haitang nodded gently, "In this current situation, it's probably impossible for him to return to Shaolin."
"I wonder if he would agree if I were to invite him again now."
Previously, no matter how much Fahai stirred up the Jianghu, people didn't know he was a Shaolin Disciple.
Naturally, Shaolin would not be implicated.
But this time was different.
Now, Fahai's identity as a Personal Disciple of the Shaolin Sect Leader had been exposed.
His every action no longer represented only himself but the entire Shaolin.
Whatever he did would affect Shaolin's reputation.
At present, if he were to return to Shaolin, he would only bring trouble to Shaolin.
Wudang Mountain and Six Doors would never easily let go of this opportunity.
Therefore, for Fahai, the best choice was not to return to Shaolin.
And coincidentally, his foster father highly admired him.
He had nowhere else to go.
If he could use this opportunity to win him over again, perhaps there would be a turning point?
Thinking of her foster father, Haitang's mood darkened a few more shades.
"Ever since foster father got rid of Cao Zhengchun, his actions have become increasingly aggressive."
Haitang was somewhat puzzled as to why her foster father had changed so much.
"Is that so? I always thought foster father was like this."
