Laughing at the Heavens: From Flying Knife Skills to Shattering the Void

Chapter 183: The Selection of the Wulin Leader

"With Young Master Lin's strength, it is more than enough."

Everyone said one after another.

Although not everyone has witnessed Lin Ping'an's strength, Zuo Lengchan's strength is known to the world. Now even Zuo Lengchan acknowledges this matter, which shows that the rumors in the world are true.

Lin Ping'an's strength indeed surpasses Zuo Lengchan.

No wonder some people have compared Lin Ping'an with Dongfang Bubai.

Therefore, many people greeted Lin Pingan along the way.

Although seniority is a key factor in the underworld, Lin Ping'an is just a junior.

But when it comes to the underworld, the most important thing is strength.

As long as you are strong enough, you can win respect and awe.

And Lin Pingan obviously meets this requirement.

After Lin Ping'an entered Shaolin, in a nearby restaurant, Xiang Wentian, who was in disguise, sat at a table. He whispered to the person opposite him, "Master, Lin Ping'an has gone in."

"This kid has really become something. Although he is not yet the head of Huashan or the leader of the Five Mountains, he has now taken over Huashan on behalf of Yue Buqun, and is no different from the leader of the Five Mountains."

Ren Woxing snorted and said.

Although I expected Lin Ping'an to grow very fast, I didn't expect it to be so fast.

"But is Yue Buqun really just in seclusion to heal his injuries?"

Ren Woxing looked suspicious.

After all, he has been through it.

He was in seclusion to recuperate at the beginning, but he was attacked by Dongfang Bubai and was seriously injured and imprisoned.

If it were his heyday, with Dongfang Bubai's strength at that time, there was no way he could be his opponent.

Therefore, when Ru Jian saw Yue Buqun disappear from the world, although he claimed to the outside world that he was in seclusion to recuperate, Yue Buqun, who had experienced such a thing, couldn't help but think more about it.

"Master, what you mean is..."

Xiang Wentian was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what was happening. "But this is impossible, right? After all, Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan are still here. If something really happened to Yue Buqun, it would be hard to hide it from these two people."

"Although Lin Ping'an is scheming, he doesn't look like someone who would betray his teacher and ancestors."

Xiang Wentian whispered.

"maybe."

Ren Woxing sneered and disagreed.

Ever since he experienced the betrayal of Dongfang Bubai, he would never completely trust anyone.

……

A thousand-year-old temple, in front of the Arhat Hall.

The blue brick floor is covered with marks of time, and eighteen bronze weapons are placed on both sides, shining coldly.

There are seats displayed around.

All the prominent figures from various factions were present.

Lin Ping'an also met the Shaolin abbot Fang Zheng and the Wudang head Taoist Chongxu.

"I guess this must be Young Master Lin Pingan from Huashan. He is truly a promising young man, and he is even better than his teacher."

An old Taoist with a sage-like appearance looked at Lin Ping'an, and immediately a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He then walked forward and said with a smile.

"I am Lin Ping'an, a junior. I am honored to meet Taoist Master Chongxu and Master Fangzheng. I have heard of your great names for a long time. After meeting you today, I can see that you are indeed highly respected and powerful."

"Young Master Lin is a promising young man. I have been hearing rumors about you for a while. Now that I see you, I know the rumors are true!"

Chongxu was full of emotion.

With his level of cultivation, he still felt a vague sense of threat from Lin Ping'an, as if a knife was against his neck, making him feel creepy.

That's why Chongxu knew that the rumors in the martial arts world were not exaggerated at all.

"With this man, Huashan's rise seems unstoppable."

Chongxu said secretly in his heart.

Fang Zheng on the side also spoke up, "Young Master Lin, Miss Ning, please come this way."

"Master Fang Zheng, Taoist Chongxu, is this matter really so serious? Is the Sun Moon Divine Cult really going to invade the Central Plains?"

Ning Zhongze couldn't help but ask.

Fang Zheng shook his head seriously, "I don't know how it will develop, but the recent mobilization of the Demon Cult is bound to be no small matter."

"Ugh!"

Ning Zhongze sighed softly upon hearing this, "Although Ren Woxing is missing, Dongfang Bubai is now more powerful than Ren Woxing. It seems that he can't sit still anymore."

Everyone soon sat together.

At this time, other people also started asking questions.

"Master Fang Zheng, what exactly happened? What is the purpose of the Demon Cult's actions?"

"Yeah, with such a big commotion, the matter must be something serious."

"If the Demon Cult really attacks, I'm afraid we can only form an alliance to fight back. However, our forces are scattered. Unless there is a person with high prestige and strong strength as a leader, we can coordinate everything and gather strength to deal with the Demon Cult."

Someone suggested that, after all, there were too many righteous sects and people’s hearts were different, and everyone was afraid of suffering heavy losses and letting others gain an advantage.

Everyone has their own ideas, and there is no way they can be a match for the Demon Cult.

After all, the evil cult leader Dongfang Bubai coordinates everything, and everyone must obey his orders and follow his instructions. He will attack wherever he is directed. This is much better than the righteous sect where people have different minds.

When two armies are at war, with one side committed and the other side in disarray, they are doomed to lose if they don't fight.

"Don't worry, everyone. It is precisely because we know this that Taoist Chongxu and I held this martial arts conference to listen to your opinions and reach a consensus on a direction."

Fang Zheng said kindly.

"I think there is only one choice, and that is to elect a martial arts leader so that everyone will be convinced."

At this time, a Taoist wearing a Bagua robe stood up and said.

"It turns out to be the Kunlun Sect's leader Zhen Shanzi."

Chongxu nodded slightly, "I wonder what other fellow martial artists have any ideas?"

"The head of Kunlun Sect is Zhen Shanzi, known in the martial arts world as the Sword of Heaven and Earth."

Ning Zhongze, who was sitting next to Lin Ping'an, introduced in a low voice.

Lin Pingan nodded calmly.

At this time, another Taoist stood up and said, "Master Zhenshan is right. I have no objection to Emei. However, we need to discuss carefully how to elect the leader of the martial arts world and not make a hasty decision."

"Moreover, this candidate must satisfy all parties and his martial arts skills must be high enough to deal with Dongfang Bubai."

"If we can't fight against Dongfang Bubai, then even if we unite, we will just be a bunch of cotton gathered together and we will not be able to resist Dongfang Bubai at all."

Taoist Song Wen of the Emei Sect said in a deep voice.

"What Taoist Songwen said makes sense. Although the Demon Cult is strong, we can still deal with it if we unite. However, if no one can restrain Dongfang Bubai, then even if we suppress the other members of the Demon Cult, it will be meaningless."

"Dongfang Bubai alone is enough to determine the outcome of the battle."

Others also spoke up.

When mentioning Dongfang Bubai, everyone's face was filled with fear.

The sun rises in the east, and I am invincible!
But it's not just a slogan used by the Demon Cult to compliment Dongfang Bubai, but it's also stating a well-known fact.

He is the undisputed strongest man who can defeat both the good and evil.

"I think Shaolin Abbot Fang Zheng and Wudang Taoist Master Chong Xu can be the leaders of the martial arts world. The two elders are highly respected and their strength is second only to Dongfang Bubai. If the two elders are willing to lead us, they will surely unite the people."

At this time, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Jie Feng, stood up and suddenly said.

"Yes, yes, what Gang Leader Jie said makes sense. Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu are highly respected in the martial arts world and are strong enough. They are indeed the best candidates." Others also said.

"My fellow martial artists, please forgive me for joking. The two of us are old and we don't think we are a match for Dongfang Bubai. We held this martial arts conference in the hope that everyone can jointly nominate a more suitable candidate."

Fang Zheng immediately shook his head and said.

"But apart from you two, who else in the martial arts world can take on such a great responsibility? Gang Leader Jie, you are the leader of the world's number one gang, and you have practiced the peerless martial arts skill, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. You are highly skilled in martial arts. Are you willing to take on this responsibility?"

Taoist Songwen suddenly turned around and looked at Jie Feng.

"Master Songwen is joking."

Xie Feng immediately waved his hand to refuse, "I am not well-trained enough to take on this task, so please ask someone else for help."

Everyone knows that although the position of leader of the martial arts world is tempting, without the ability to get it, it will only become a joke.

Moreover, the leader of the martial arts world also has to bear the greatest danger, and that is Dongfang Bubai.

If you don’t have enough strength, you will be the first to become the dead soul under Dongfang Bubai’s command.

Naturally, no one wants to be the scapegoat.

Everyone is aware of their own strength.

"It's a pity that Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, has not arrived yet. Otherwise, with his strength, he would be a very good candidate."

At this time, someone suddenly sighed and said.

Although Zuo Lengchan has a bad character, his strength is indeed beyond doubt.

More than a decade ago, he was able to single-handedly challenge the former Demon Cult leader Ren Woxing, so naturally he is even stronger now.

Even if he is not a match for Dongfang Bubai, he will not be easily defeated.

"Zuo Lengchan is indeed a martial arts master, but that was in the past. Now he is blind and no longer has the ability to sit on the position of leader of the martial arts world. Even his position as leader of the Five Mountains is no longer stable."

"Speaking of this, we do have someone here who might be able to take on the responsibility."

At this moment, someone's eyes suddenly lit up, and without waiting for others to lament Zuo Lengchan's experience, his gaze suddenly fell in the direction of Huashan.

Upon hearing this, everyone followed his gaze and their eyes lit up when they saw Lin Ping'an.

"Yes, Young Master Lin is very powerful. Even the leader of the Five Mountains, Zuo Lengchan, is willing to admit defeat. Such strength is enough to fight against Dongfang Bubai."

Jie Feng said immediately.

Others were also thoughtful.

Even Fang Zheng and Chongxu looked at Lin Pingan.

Lin Ping'an looked calm and said with a smile: "Seniors, you are joking. I am a junior, so how can I be qualified to take on such a great responsibility as the leader of the martial arts world."

"Young Master Lin, there is no need to be modest. Your strength is well known to your fellow martial artists. You were able to defeat Zuo Lengchan. With such strength, we are ashamed of ourselves."

"Yes, Young Master Lin is fully qualified in terms of strength."

Many people agreed.

But some people were skeptical. "I don't think it's appropriate. Although Young Master Lin has a great reputation, we have never seen his strength. If he can show us one or two skills, we will be convinced."

"Oh? How do you show it?"

Lin Pingan asked with narrowed eyes.

"Of course, the leader of the martial arts world can only be determined through a duel, but we are just sparring, so it's fine as long as we stop when we're done."

Zhen Shanzi of Kunlun School said with a smile.

He was very skeptical about Lin Ping'an's ability, but because Lin Ping'an's reputation was too loud, he did not say too much and just said he wanted to have a competition.

"What Sect Leader Zhenshan said makes some sense. Even if we are not fighting for the position of Wulin Alliance Leader, we would like to see the unparalleled flying knife technique."

Many people echoed and expressed their agreement.

They all stared at Lin Ping'an with anticipation. Many of them had different expressions, but they all stared at Lin Ping'an.

"Everyone, Ping An is just a junior. I don't think he can handle such an important task. With so many martial arts masters present, there is no need to nominate a young man in his early twenties."

Ning Zhongze couldn't help but stood up and said.

He was very confident in Lin Ping'an's ability.

But these people obviously had bad intentions in making Lin Pingan the leader of the martial arts world.

Because once he becomes the leader of the martial arts world, he will be the first to face off against Dongfang Bubai.

Although everyone knew that Lin Ping'an was very powerful, Dongfang Bubai's reputation was too famous. He had dominated the entire martial arts world for ten years and made people terrified.

Ning Zhongze was naturally worried.

After all, Lin Pingan is still too young.

With such high talent and huge potential, if he can develop steadily for a few years or even months, his chances of success will be even better.

"Miss Ning, there is no need to be modest. Young Master Lin is well-known in the martial arts world now. Moreover, ambition is not limited by age. In the martial arts world, strength speaks. As long as Young Master Lin has the ability, how can he not take on the responsibility?"

Taoist Songwen said loudly, then turned around and shouted to the others: "What do you think, fellow Taoists? Is this true?"

"Master Song Wen is right. The martial arts world is all about strength. Everything else is empty talk."

"I agree, it's better to have a fight to determine who is the hero."

"Young Master Lin, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Right now, the righteous path needs masters to stand up. Young Master Lin, there is no need to be bound by these cumbersome etiquette. We are all people of the martial arts world, there is no need to say so much."

Many people agreed.

"Junior Brother Lin, it seems like you have no choice but to stand up."

Yue Lingshan was very much looking forward to it.

The leader of the martial arts world!
Many times stronger than the leaders of the Five Mountains.

How could she not look forward to it.

If Lin Pingan becomes the leader of the martial arts world, what appeal will the Five Mountains leader have?

Who is Zuo Lengchan?
At that time, their Huashan will rise completely.

When father Yue Buqun comes out of seclusion, he will definitely get a huge surprise.

From now on, father Yue Buqun no longer needs to work so hard and practice continuously for the rise of Huashan.

"Lingshan, don't talk nonsense."

Ning Zhongze immediately scolded him softly.

She didn't think that these people nominated Lin Ping'an with good intentions. It was obvious that they wanted Lin Ping'an to take the blame.

Otherwise, why don’t Fangzheng and Chongxu take the lead?

It is really shameful that a group of veterans in the martial arts world would plot against a rookie like Lin Ping'an.

Ning Zhongze cursed inwardly.

But these words cannot be said.

Because these people are the leaders of major martial arts sects, if he speaks, he will offend everyone, and then Huashan’s situation will become even more difficult.

Therefore, Ning Zhongze looked at Lin Pingan. If Lin Pingan refused, then these people would not be able to say anything.

"I would like to thank all the seniors for their kindness. I am deeply humbled and overwhelmed. How can I take on such an important task?"

Lin Ping'an was about to humbly refuse, but someone suddenly interrupted him.

"Will Young Master Lin not dare to show his strength? Could it be that the recent rumors in the martial arts world are just rumors?"

Someone standing in the crowd suddenly spoke.

This made many people change their expressions, especially those from Huashan.

But more people showed amusement and anticipation.
