The Villain's Counterattack

Qiu Qianren was completely desperate and wanted to jump off a cliff to commit suicide, but was saved by Master Yideng. He knelt on the ground and cried bitterly without saying a word. Yinggu wanted to kill for revenge, but was stopped by Zhou Botong, who then used the feces and urine escape to lead Yinggu away. Naturally, everyone was happy here.

"Pa pa pa" a burst of applause rang out, which surprised Master Yideng and Hong Qigong. With their current level of cultivation, someone had actually reached this level without realizing it.

"Yang Kang, why are you here?" Hong Qigong seemed to see a bonfire on the way, but he didn't pay attention to it. But then he felt that there was someone behind him but he had never noticed it. How could he not be surprised to see Yang Kang at this time.

Yang Kang walked out leisurely, quickly walked to Qiu Qianren, helped him up and said, "Senior, your enlightenment is commendable. In the future, if you reform yourself and contribute more to protecting the people of the world, you will have immeasurable merits."

Yang Kang's words made Master Yideng and Hong Qigong frown. Master Yideng chanted the Buddha's name and said, "Amitabha, when will the cycle of revenge end? Fighting and killing will only deepen the hatred and is not the right way. The Buddha's Dharma is boundless and only the mind can save you."

"Yang Kang, a third-generation disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, greets the Master." Yang Kang bowed respectfully, then stood up and said, "Killing is to protect the Dao, eliminating karma but not killing people. What do you think, Master?"

Master Yideng's eyes flashed when he heard this. He stared at Yang Kang for a moment before saying, "Put down the butcher knife and you will become a Buddha instantly. If you hold the butcher knife in your hand, when will you be free?"

"The butcher knife in your hand has been laid down, but what about the butcher knife in your heart? Master, you know that spiritual practice is like flowing water; it is better to unblock it than to drain it. Senior Qiu Qianren has a strong temperament and great talent. He can be a Dharma protector, but a high-level monk is not suitable for him. If you want Senior Qiu Qianren to truly become a Buddha, you must take the path of killing to prove your way. Killing is to protect the way, and you should cut off karma instead of killing people. When Senior Qiu Qianren's merits are complete, he can put down his butcher knife and gain great freedom."

Yang Kang said loudly, "The nomadic tribes are brutal and cruel by nature. They do not engage in production and are accustomed to burning, killing, and looting. The Central Plains is about to become a pasture for the barbarians from outside the Great Wall. Now is the time for Senior Qiu Qianren to establish his achievements and attain the Vajra Dao. If he puts down the butcher knife in his hand now, it will be difficult for him to put down the butcher knife in his heart."

"Amitabha." Upon hearing this, Master Yideng chanted the Buddha's name and said, "I couldn't put down the knife in my hand, so how can I put down the butcher knife in my heart? The cycle of heaven and earth will eventually come. It's not that I won't pay back, but the time has not come. I have entered Buddhism and cut off all worldly ties."

Qiu Qianren was losing his mind at this time, but was saved by Master Yideng. Just like a newborn chick seeing its mother hen, he regarded Qiu Qianren as everything to him. Yang Kang's actions only made him grateful, but in the end he chose to follow Master Yideng.

Yang Kang couldn't help but sigh and said, "I have never made any empty promises since my debut, why don't you believe me? Oh, the big traitor Hong Qigong, the little traitor Guo Jing, long time no see." Yang Kang called Hong Qigong a big traitor in front of Master Yideng, and everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

"Boy, even your Quanzhen Sect's first leader, Master Wang Chongyang, was polite to me. What nonsense are you talking about?" Hong Qigong said angrily. "This old beggar may be greedy for food and drink, but he has never killed a good person in his life, nor has he ever kowtowed to an alien race."

Yang Kang pointed at Hong Qigong and cursed, "Remember when the Mongols sent envoys to the Song Dynasty? I told you all along that the Mongols, nomadic barbarians from beyond the Great Wall, still harbor their wolfish nature, would inevitably despise bloodshed and violence if they entered the Central Plains. It would bring devastation and devastation to the people, leaving them homeless. They wanted to execute the Mongol envoys, but you, a big traitor, and Guo Jing, a small traitor, stopped them. What happened?"

"You rescued Tuo Lei and Mu Huali, who led their troops to burn, kill, and loot in the Central Plains. Am I wrong to call you traitors? Hong Qigong, you have never killed the wrong person in your life, but you saved the wrong person. This is a hundred times, a thousand times more cruel than killing the wrong person." Yang Kang said angrily, "I, Yang Kang, will state this: when the Mongols destroy the Jin, Song, and Dali dynasties, you and Guo Jing will be the greatest historical sinners."

Yang Kang looked at the red-faced and trembling Hong Qigong and said coldly, "I've traveled far and wide for the people of the Central Plains, seeking capable men to fight the Mongols and relocating them overseas to preserve their vitality. And you, Hong Qigong, you, a traitor, are shielding the evil wolf from the Great Wall. You allowed the foolish and corrupt court to send blueprints for siege equipment to Mongolia, giving the evil wolf wings to attack the Central Plains more easily."

"That little traitor Guo Jing even personally led his troops to capture Khwarezm's stronghold, ruining my previous plan of a mutually destructive conflict between the Mongols and Khwarezm. Finally, I found a talented general like Qiu Qianren, a man of exceptional martial prowess, ability, cunning, and mastery of naval warfare, and yet you tricked him into becoming a monk. You're so powerful! You really wish the Han people would perish, don't you?"

"You are short-sighted and heartless. I, Yang Kang, still have a heart of flesh and blood. Since you have made up your mind to be traitors, then be a traitor to the end." Yang Kang snorted angrily and turned away. Hong Qigong almost vomited blood, and the joy of seeing Guo Jing and Huang Rong again disappeared.

Huang Rong angrily said, "I know you're smart, and you're wholeheartedly devoted to the people, but no one can predict what will happen 500 years in the future. What right do you have to use these words to slander others? Is saving people wrong? Does the Khwarezmian people, whom Brother Jing defeated, make them good people? As long as we have a clear conscience, why should we care so much?"

Yang Kang tilted his head and pointed at Huang Rong, shaking with anger. He wished he could capture her and give her a good beating. This little bitch hadn't been disciplined for a few days and was already rebelling. "Since you know you're stupid, why don't you listen to the advice of smart people? Guo Jing was born and raised in the frontier, not to mention that, Huang Rong, Hong Qigong, which of you two hasn't read a book? What were the consequences of foreign invasions into the Central Plains in history? Don't you really know? Or are you just closing your eyes and pretending not to see?"

"Among the people I hate are those who open their eyes but cannot see the truth, who do wrong and then die in a fit of rage, and those who work very hard to do wrong, even sparing no effort, and then say at the end, 'I tried my best,' and finally die heroically." Yang Kang pointed at Hong Qigong and Guo Jing and said, "When the house was on fire and the flames were small, you turned a blind eye, even fanning the flames thinking a bigger fire would keep you warm. But when the fire spread and could no longer be contained, you threw yourselves in. Who are you trying to show off your generosity to?"

Yang Kang was so angry that he slammed his palm on the huge rock beside him, breaking it into pieces with a "bang". Then he let out an angry groan and floated away, and a singing sound was heard in the distance.

If a man behaves, he should be violent. Things and benevolence are inseparable.

Men should kill without mercy.

The eternal karma is all in killing people.

...

Don't you see,

Confucian scholars rose up and strong men died, and China praised benevolence and righteousness from then on.

Once the barbarians invaded the Central Plains, the scholars rushed to the ground and the cowardly people wept.

...

Hong Qigong stood there blankly, muttering to himself, "When the barbarians invaded the Central Plains, the scholars fled like pigs and the cowardly people wept. When the barbarians invaded the Central Plains, the scholars fled like pigs and the cowardly people wept."

"Master, don't listen to his nonsense. There are many talented people in the Central Plains. How can a mere barbarian Tartar dare to offend them?" Huang Rong knew that Yang Kang's words had irritated Hong Qigong, so she hurriedly comforted him in a soft voice.

Hong Qigong patted Huang Rong's hand and said with a wry smile, "Rong'er, Master is old, yet he was actually shaken by the words of a young boy. It's useless, useless."

Huang Rong hurriedly said, "Master, you must not do this. This is Yang Kang's scheme. He previously promised to help Ouyang Feng win the title of the world's number one. Then, he'll take advantage of the situation to appoint Ouyang Feng as the Imperial Master. He'll use his fame to recruit talented and righteous people from the martial arts world to achieve his ulterior motives."

Hong Qigong's spirits perked up when he heard this, and he asked anxiously, "How did Rong'er know this? Tell me about it."

Huang Rong hid from Ouyang Feng all the way and inevitably fell ill in Shandong. She was finally rescued by Yang Kang. She exchanged the Qimen Dunjia technique from Peach Blossom Island for his protection. Later, Ouyang Feng came after her, and Yang Kang handed himself over to Ouyang Feng (in order to reduce their suspicion, Huang Rong could only say this) in exchange for the snake-driving technique from Baituo Mountain, and planned to help Ouyang Feng become the number one in the world.

"This kid is really full of evil intentions." Hong Qigong seemed to have never liked Yang Kang, but he was speechless about his protection of the Han people in Shandong. "You said that kid dismissed all the Beggar Gang disciples in Shandong? Hey, this kid is really petty. No, if I don't beat him up, I, an old beggar, will feel uneasy."

"Master, if you go after him now, you will fall into his trap. They originally wanted to consume your and my father's power so that Ouyang Feng could seize the opportunity to become the number one in the world." Huang Rong hurriedly stopped Hong Qigong.

Hong Qigong nodded and said, "Little Rong'er, you see things clearly. Well, after I've dealt with Ouyang Feng, I'll go find that brat. That brat just sang a manly song, and it was full of murderous intent. He had the urge to draw his sword and kill immediately. It seems we've really pissed him off this time, and he must be craving to kill right now."

Huang Rong felt a little uneasy and worried when she heard this. Was he really going to do something?

Who was he planning to kill? He certainly wouldn't kill himself. He wouldn't kill Brother Jing because of their relationship as elders. And for Master and Father's sake, they should be safe, right? Qiu Qianren had voluntarily followed Master Yideng, so he probably wouldn't chase after them and kill them. Besides, he alone might not be able to defeat two masters of the Five Supremes level.

Who else?

The Mongolian Tartar, he may be going back to fight against the Mongolian invasion, or he is preparing to strike a heavy blow to the Mongolian army. This man is the most petty and vindictive.

But for some reason, Huang Rong could never hate this petty-minded person.
