With a reputation of 70,000, one leader travels across countless worlds with his adventure team.

A high-ranking monk died at Shaolin Temple; it was Qiao Feng who killed him!

Shaolin attributed Master Xuanku's death directly to 'Xiao Feng,' saying that he was still a Khitan wolf and that after learning he was a Khitan, he killed his master and fled. When the news spread, the martial arts world was astonished.

Many Beggars' Sect disciples, especially those who had fought alongside Chief Qiao against the Liao soldiers in the north, did not believe this story. As a result, they fought many times with those who spread rumors in the martial arts world.

Upon learning the news, the You brothers, the owners of Juxian Manor, summoned heroes from all walks of life, intending to take action against Qiao Feng to demonstrate their prestige. You Ji and You Ju even sent an invitation to Shaolin Temple, inviting its eminent monks to preside over the "Heroes' Gathering for Slaying the Wolf."

Without Xue Mu Hua, the divine physician of the "Eight Friends of Hangu Pass," to lead the way, they could only rely on the prestige of Shaolin to gather martial arts enthusiasts and issue invitations to see if any other martial arts masters would come to their aid.

Afterwards, Shaolin actually sent two high-ranking monks of the Xuan generation, Xuan Nan and Xuan Ji, to Juxian Manor. The Beggars' Clan, led by Quan Guanqing and several elders, also sent a group of snakes, insects, rats and ants to attend the conference.

Leigu Mountain is located between Shaolin Temple and Juxian Manor. Xue Muhua also received a letter from Juxian Manor. Seeing Qiao Feng chatting and laughing with his sect leader in the valley, he quickly handed the invitation to Bai Ze.

Bai Ze looked at the invitation from the You brothers, smiled, and handed it to Qiao Feng, saying:

"Some scoundrels in the martial arts world can't resist trying to use Big Brother as a pawn to climb the ladder to heaven."

Qiao Feng looked at the post, and A'Zhu, looking anxious, clung to his arm, unsure of what to do. Qiao Feng patted A'Zhu's hand and said:

"I, Qiao Feng, have lived an upright and honorable life, but I never expected to be criticized by these chickens and dogs today."

Bai Ze, suddenly seized by a playful impulse, said:

"Brother, you don't need to get involved in this matter. Just rest peacefully in the mountains with Sister-in-law A'Zhu. I'm going to deal with these stinking rats. It's been a while since I've had any action since I finished learning the new techniques from my martial uncle. I'll relieve my itch!"

Qiao Feng looked at his brothers and laughed:

"Hahaha, little brother, your skills are now on par with mine. If you go and fight them, aren't you just bullying them? Hahaha..."

Bai Ze shook his head playfully and said:

"Hey bro, why are you bullying them? It's just a friendly spar, hehe~"

Qiao Feng smiled and shook his head without saying anything more. Bai Ze had his disciples summon his group of female disciples, told them about the "Wolf-Slaying Heroes Gathering," and asked:

"Anyone want to go out and have some fun? We can check on how well you've been learning martial arts lately."

Tifa and Mu Wanqing couldn't sit still and wanted to go along, but Xiaomeng didn't say anything. Celine and Daenerys hadn't been practicing martial arts for long and didn't have any system skills yet, so they spent their free time practicing martial arts and cultivating their inner strength.

Daenerys shook her head and said:

“Celine and I won’t be going. Uncle Xingyun has taught us a lot recently, and Celine and I have been practicing.”

Raphael said with a smile:

“Then Xiaomeng will stay here to train with Daenerys and Celine. I will go with Tifa and the others and Bai Ze, just in case.”

Everyone nodded, and I nodded as well, saying:

"Alright, then the four of us will go. Xiaomeng, you stay with Dani and the others to cultivate. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask Master or your senior uncle. They're quite free right now. Just be careful not to barge into any rooms when Master and your senior uncle aren't around, hehe~"

The group all spat, feeling helpless at Bai Ze's unserious behavior, even teasing his own master.

 …

Juxianzhuang is very close to Leigushan. Bai Ze led the three women on horseback slowly towards Juxianzhuang, and along the way they could see martial arts practitioners traveling at breakneck speed.

Inside Juxian Manor, the You brothers first welcomed Shan Zheng, the "Iron-Faced Judge" from Shandong, along with Tan Gong and Tan Po, and Zhao Qiansun. Then, the Shaolin monks Xuan Nan and Xuan Ji also arrived.

Just as everyone was chatting, a group of Beggars' Sect disciples, led by Elder Xu and several other elders, stormed into the manor. The You brothers hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, saying, "We are so sorry for not welcoming you properly, elders of the Beggars' Sect!"

Elder Xu of the Beggars' Sect didn't even raise his hand. He crossed his arms, smiled arrogantly, and said:

"Oh, you're too kind."

Once everyone was seated in the hall, Elder Xu immediately asked:

"Are you all gathered here today because of that bastard Qiao Feng?"

Elder Xu showed no regard for Qiao Feng's contributions to the Beggars' Sect, and his tone was very unfriendly from the start.

The You brothers and the two Shaolin monks echoed their agreement. Elder Xu continued to belittle Qiao Feng, bringing up Qiao Feng's identity and race, and finally said:

"The Beggars' Sect will never protect Qiao Feng just because he was once the sect's leader!"

Everyone immediately shouted:

"well said!"

Elder Xu was quite pleased with himself for having the situation under control, and was about to continue speaking when...

"Well said! Excellent! You've perfectly captured their heartlessness. I never imagined the Beggars' Sect was such a bunch of rotten rats. They've turned into this since they left Brother Qiao!"

The You brothers quickly stood up, looked around, and said:

"Who's speaking? Come out! Why are you sneaking around like this!"

Bai Ze stood on the eaves of the room opposite the main hall of Juxian Manor and spoke again:

"A frog at the bottom of a well can't see the sky. You don't even lift your head, so how could you possibly see me?"

The people in the hall quickly walked out and looked up to see Bai Ze and three ladies standing on the opposite roof.

Many members of the Beggars' Sect knew about Bai Ze, the white-haired leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect, and some of the martial artists from Juxian Manor also recognized Bai Ze. Many of them quickly spoke up:

"It's Bai Ze, the mysterious leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect!"

"How did he get here!"

"Judging from his tone, he's speaking up for Qiao Feng!"

Elder Xu and several other elders of the Beggars' Sect had certainly heard of Bai Ze, and the two heroes of the You family had long admired Bai Ze, but they had only heard of his name and never seen him in person.

Seeing that Bai Ze's purpose in coming was to support Qiao Feng, some of the martial arts practitioners present who knew how powerful Bai Ze was were already starting to have second thoughts. Bai Ze's reputation in the martial arts world was still very well-known.

The You brothers and Elder Xu of the Beggars' Sect both felt a chill run down their spines. They had hoped to recruit some martial arts figures to enhance their reputation and boost their prestige, but instead, a master of unparalleled skill appeared, and he was even supporting Qiao Feng. This was quite unsettling.

Elder Xu looked around at everyone present to bolster his courage, and then said to Bai Ze:

"Young Master Bai, do you have a problem with our criticism of a 'Khitan'? Are you perhaps a Khitan yourself?"

Bai Ze looked at Elder Xu of the Beggars' Sect, who was starting to label him, and shook his head mockingly:

"Have you not seen how upright and honest Brother Qiao was for half his life, doing so much for the Song Dynasty and the Beggars' Sect? He even killed many Liao dogs while gathering intelligence on the Song-Liao border. But in your mouths, Brother Qiao has become a heinous villain, a scourge to the Song Dynasty!"

At this moment, Shaolin Xuanji stepped forward and said:

"Qiao Feng murdered his own master, Master Xuanku, which was witnessed by the disciples of the temple! How do you explain this?"

Bai Ze looked at the two Shaolin monks and said:

"Oh! Are there any signs of a struggle in Master Xuanku's residence? Are there any injuries on Master Xuanku's body caused by Qiao Feng's martial arts? Qiao Feng was seen coming out of Master Xuanku's room in the middle of the night? Perhaps the great hero Qiao just wanted to know about his background and wanted to ask the master!"

But no one saw Master Qiao make a move, nor did they see him proactively announce to the Song Dynasty martial arts world that he was a Khitan and wanted to break with the Song Dynasty. Based solely on a disciple who saw Master Qiao around Master Xuanku's room at night, they concluded that Master Qiao killed Master Xuanku.

"Then I'll stand here right now, look at you all, and say I killed you all, and then spread the word. Is that alright?"

Xuanji was speechless, pointed at Bai Ze and said "You!" before falling silent.

In his last few words, Bai Ze's tone had become very calm, so calm it was almost frightening. Some of the martial arts figures who had come to freeload started swallowing hard, and sweat involuntarily rolled down their foreheads.

Elder Xu of the Beggars' Sect understood Bai Ze's purpose and said:

"So that means Young Master Bai is going to stand up for Qiao Feng, right?"

Bai Ze didn't want to waste any more words. He drew his sword and slowly landed in the courtyard, pointing it at everyone present.

"Why bother talking so much to you shrimp soldiers and crab generals? If my brother Qiao truly accepts his identity as a Khitan, killing you would be as easy as killing chickens."

"Since you want to hold this 'Wolf-Slaying Heroes Gathering,' then let me test your skills. If you can't even get past me, then you should go home, wash up, and go to bed. Don't go around embarrassing yourselves!"

This time, Bai Ze is wielding the level 50 epic weapon, Fury of the Mad Dragon, whose red blade looks very dazzling.

Elder Xu refused to believe in such a thing. So many people couldn't even defeat Bai Ze alone. Elder Xu exchanged glances with the You brothers and the two Shaolin monks, nodded, and said:

"Alright! Since you're willing to stand up for Qiao Feng, let's have a proper spar! But swords have no eyes, so be careful, young hero!"

The You brothers also took out their own hundred-refined steel shields and walked around Bai Ze with their swords. Elder Xu of the Beggar Clan had already begun to arrange for his disciples to prepare to use the Dog-Beating Formation. Some martial artists who had never heard of Bai Ze's reputation were also ready to make a move at any time.

The two heroes of the You family couldn't help but rush towards Bai Ze first. Bai Ze took two blows from the two heroes and felt their strength. He then thought to himself that although the Jianghu of the Song Dynasty was famous, there were really few who could be the pillars of the Jianghu. The number of powerful figures who roamed the Jianghu in each sect could be counted on one hand.

Bai Ze gathered his energy and used the Lingbo Weibu technique to dodge the attacks of several small kalami. He casually stabbed their arms and the outside of their thighs and calves with his sword. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the You brothers attacked again, and "Iron-Faced Judge" Shan Zheng also came from the side.

Bai Ze used the Lingbo Weibu technique to block Shan Zheng's attack, leading Shan Zheng towards the two heroes, and then glided to the side of Youju, one of the two heroes.

Bai Ze thrust his sword through the gap in You Ju's arm as he held the shield, then slashed You Ju's upper arm with a simple twist, before kicking him in the hip and eliminating him from the game.

You Ji received Shan Zheng's deflected attack head-on and quickly raised his shield to intercept it. Bai Ze, who had dealt with You Ju, was on the side of You Ji and Shan Zheng. He slid forward and stabbed them in the leg and shoulder with his sword, sending You Ji and Shan Zheng off the field.

At this moment, Xuanji, Tan Gong and Tan Po, Zhao Qiansun and others attacked Bai Ze from the other side. Bai Ze blocked the attack with his back to the wall, carrying his sword, and then used the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to slide to the side.

Before Xuanji's attack could even touch Bai Ze, Bai Ze slid in front of him at an odd angle. Before he could react, Bai Ze, with his back to Xuanji, thrust his sword back with his right hand, stabbing the hilt directly into Xuanji's waist. Xuanji immediately gasped for breath, his face turning bright red.

Xuanji was immediately eliminated. Elder Xu led the Beggars' Sect members to use the Dog-Beating Stick Technique to surround Bai Ze. Before the Beggars' Sect disciples could surround him, Bai Ze leaped up and kicked a beggar's Dog-Beating Stick. He then slashed his sword left and right, knocking down two Beggars' Sect disciples on either side of him. The Beggars' Sect disciples behind him pressed down with their sticks, trying to force Bai Ze away from the injured disciples.

Bai Ze kicked the beggar in front of him, then turned around and slashed out with a horizontal crescent moon slash from bottom to top. The crowd around saw a full moon appear in the arena. The Beggar Clan disciples who surrounded him had only the two-handed section of their dog-beating sticks, which had been soaked in oil and sweat for years, left. The rest of the sticks were flying everywhere.

The remaining Beggar Clan elders immediately lost the will to continue fighting. They all knew that Bai Ze had wiped out the entire Xingxiu Sect, so they stood at a distance and did not step forward.
