Chapter 663 Ling Xiaotian

In the blink of an eye, almost a month had passed. The news that Chai Xin had taken over as the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect spread quickly throughout the martial arts world like wings.

Although there are many masters within the Xiaoyao Sect, it is not well-known to the outside world. After all, when the number of people is the largest, there are never more than ten disciples.

However, many of the truly top sects do have certain records of the Xiaoyao Sect.

As the founder and leader of the Xingxiu Sect, Ding Chunqiu has a notoriety in the martial arts world that is no less notorious than the four evil men, and may even be worse than that.

When the news that he was once a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect spread, many people who had originally not taken the Xiaoyao Sect seriously began to take it seriously.

This time, Chai Xin, a rising star who has been in the limelight recently, suddenly became the new leader of the Xiaoyao Sect. Once the news came out, it immediately caused quite a stir in the martial arts world.

Many leaders of high-ranking sects took the initiative to send their disciples to send visiting cards, saying that they would come to attend the ceremony on the day Chai Xin succeeded as the leader.

These include martial arts giants such as Shaolin and Wudang, as well as large gangs like the Beggars' Sect.

In this regard, Chai Xin handed over all the reception affairs to Su Xinghe and his disciples, while he himself devoted himself to seclusion and comprehending the realm of the master.

It is worth mentioning that Chai Xin has granted permission to Fan Bailing and other Eight Friends of Hangu to re-enter the Xiaoyao Sect, which made them burst into tears and overjoyed.

In addition, Wuyazi has already been buried.

As for Ding Chunqiu and You Tanzhi, after they had lost their usefulness, they were executed by the Xiaoyao Sect in front of Wuyazi's tomb.

All of their skills were devoured by Yang Guo, causing his skills to leap forward and directly reach forty years.

If we only talk about his skills, he can be called the youngest top-notch master in the world.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for Chai Xin's succession ceremony as the head of the sect.

Fan Bailing, Xue Muhua and others were welcoming the guests outside the valley, and Duan Yu and Jiumozhi were also there to help.

In addition, some of the disciples of the Eight Friends of Hangu were also accepted into the Xiaoyao Sect the day before yesterday. Naturally, they were now taking care of all matters.

As Chai Xin's nephew, Su Xinghe greeted the envoys from various gangs in front of the prepared ceremonial platform.

Everyone from various sects who came to watch the ceremony this time were masters, or at the very least elders of their sect, and many elders came in person.

For example, in the Shaolin Sect, it was Master Xuan Ku, the junior brother of Abbot Xuan Ci, who came with a group of disciples to express congratulations in person.

The Wudang Sect has all six Wudang heroes - originally there should have been seven heroes, but unfortunately Zhang Cuishan disappeared several years ago and his whereabouts are still unknown.

The Southern faction of the Beggars' Sect is led by Lu Youjiao, one of the four great elders. As for the Northern faction, they are still arguing over the issue of electing a new leader, so no one came this time.

In addition, there are also important figures from the Qingcheng Sect, Huashan Sect, Quanzhen Sect...all the sects have arrived.

These people had long heard of Chai Xin's name and all wanted to see him in person.

After all, the rumors really make many people find it hard to believe.

A young man in his twenties or thirties, first forced Cao Zhengchun to retreat with one palm strike, and then injured Ding Chunqiu with two palm strikes...

If both incidents had not been witnessed by many people, and if those people had not witnessed them, including some well-known figures in the world, I'm afraid everyone would have regarded them as rumors.

Despite this, there are still many people who doubt Chai Xin's ability, so they come here to find out the truth.

Of course, there are also people with bad intentions who want to take advantage of the situation.

Gradually, some acquaintances also felt it, such as Zhan Zhao, who had left the No. 1 Manor in the World and regained his freedom.

There are also the cousins ​​Bai Yutang and Bai Zhan, as well as the other four heroes of Xiankong Island behind them.

Even Duan Yu's adoptive father Duan Zhengchun came in person.

In addition, Li Qingluo from Mantuo Villa also sent some people to congratulate.

The time for the succession ceremony has arrived. Chai Xin walked up to the high platform, bowed to the guests around him, and said, "Thank you all for taking the time to attend my succession ceremony..."

"Hahaha, I never thought that the unknown Xiaoyao Sect could stir up the world. How could such a grand event be without people from the imperial court?"

Just then, a slightly domineering young voice interrupted Chai Xin's words.

Then, a tall and straight figure, dressed in a purple brocade robe, flew in from outside the valley and landed in front of him while he was speaking.

Behind him, there were dozens of people dressed as officials, following quickly.

The place was full of martial artists, and it was really rude of them to suddenly see a group of people from the imperial court. The leader of the group interrupted the host's speech.

For a moment, the originally lively and joyful scene suddenly became quiet.

"Who is this person? Is he a newly promoted official in the court?"

"I haven't seen them before. There are so many lackeys in the court, how can I recognize them all?"

"He looks familiar to me. A few days ago, the Northern Faction of the Beggars' Clan fell into a trap set by Jinqing Yipintang in Wuxi, and it seems that this person was able to resolve it. He seems to be... someone from Hulong Villa?"

"Yes, this person should be the newly appointed No. 1 secret agent of Hulong Villa."

"It is said that when Prince Zhao founded the Hulong Villa, he planned to train four secret agents. The three of Tiandixuan had already been decided, but the number one Huangzi had been vacant for many years. Who would have thought that it would fall to this person in the end..."

"No matter what, I'm afraid this time the person coming here has bad intentions!"

Many people were discussing quietly, and some recognized the origin of the man in purple robe.

The purple-robed man looked to be in his early twenties, full of vigor and handsome appearance. The lightness skill he just displayed was probably not inferior to many famous masters of the major sects today.

"My name is Ling Xiaotian. I am sorry for interrupting the gathering of heroes. I would like to apologize to you all first."

The young man in purple robe showed a calm and composed smile, neither humble nor arrogant, and walked to the front of the stage while bowing to the people around him.

"However, I came here this time on the orders of the imperial court. I have an important task to do, to capture some criminals. I really have no choice but to do this. I hope you heroes will understand..."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but frown.

The Song court has become increasingly decadent in recent years. Even though the Iron-Hearted God King is feared by all, he cannot support the country alone. The management of the martial arts world is no longer as strict as it was when the country was unified.

It can even be said that as long as the gangs do not go too far to the point where the court cannot tolerate them, the court will generally choose to turn a blind eye and let them act according to the rules of the underworld.

After all, if it weren't for the help of these underworld gangs that are loyal to the Han people, the situation of the Song court would probably be even more difficult than it is now.

In particular, the northern sects such as Shaolin, Quanzhen, Huashan, and Penglai had long been out of the jurisdiction of the Song court, but they were still in the enemy camp but their hearts were with the Han.

Even when they were in enemy territory, although they obeyed the Mongols, Liao, Jin and Qing on the surface, they still did not forget to secretly assist and support the Han people.

If the Song court dared to push them too far, they would be forced to the opposing camp. Like today, no matter the north or south border, all factions came to participate in the Jianghu gathering. As long as they did not deliberately cause trouble and involve the civilians and the court, the court would naturally not interfere.

In many cases, local officials would even be ordered to cooperate to a certain extent to avoid major frictions in the local area and adverse negative impacts.

But someone like Ling Xiaotian, who suddenly appeared in the party without any warning and was extremely rude to take the lead, interrupting the succession ceremony of the host family, was something that had never happened in recent decades.

Therefore, the masters from various sects who came to attend the meeting were more or less unhappy in their hearts, and their faces naturally did not look good.

Mo Shenggu, who was the most resolute and upright among the Seven Heroes of Wudang, interrupted Ling Xiaotian with a sneer and said, "Since you know that this is inappropriate, why do you still do it? Besides, the people you should apologize to the most are not us."

Bai Yutang, the golden-haired mouse and one of the Five Righteous Men of Xiankong Island, is also a straightforward person. Especially since he was saved by Chai Xin, he regards him as his benefactor and even more like a brother.

Almost as soon as Mo Shenggu finished speaking, he stood up and shouted, "Where did you come from, you lackeys of the imperial court, to dare to bark here? This is the succession ceremony for the new leader of the Xiaoyao Sect. How can we allow you to do whatever you want?"

In fact, the words "imperial prisoner" that Ling Xiaotian had just said did touch Bai Yuting's sensitive nerves.

To this day, he and his cousin Bai Yuting's names are still on the Song court's wanted list.

However, after the incident where Chai Xin scared Cao Zhengchun away with a palm strike, the imperial court only made noises but did nothing, and never took any real action against the Bai brothers again.

Although the others did not speak out loud, the hostility on their faces was obvious, and they all looked at Ling Xiaotian and others with cold eyes.

Ling Xiaotian didn't expect that he came here in the name of the imperial court to arrest the wanted criminal, and the lightness skill he just displayed did not frighten the gang of martial artists in front of him at all. His face couldn't help but freeze slightly.

However, he was obviously in good mental condition, or very confident, and he quickly recovered.

He put on a faint smile again, bowed to Mo Shenggu, and said, "The reputation of the Seven Heroes of Wudang is well-known, and the Wudang Sect is the leader of the martial arts world today. I have heard of them for a long time. But no matter what, you should not associate with such low-class people and tarnish your own reputation."

Hearing this, the six Wudang heroes frowned immediately.

Even someone as calm as Song Yuanqiao couldn't help but look a little grim. He thought to himself: Where did this young man come from, and why does he speak and act so arrogantly?

The people from other sects were also secretly resentful. Even the Wudang Sect dared to make such a plan in front of others. Did they really think that Master Zhang was too old to lift the sword?
Ling Xiaotian seemed to have not noticed the expressions of the crowd at all. He turned to look at Bai Yutang with a look of contempt, and said in a proud tone: "Who is the 'imperial criminal' I just mentioned? Don't you know who this 'imperial criminal' is?"

"They are really targeting me! However, as the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, even if the court wants to arrest me, they should go to Xiankong Island to arrest me. Why are you taking advantage of this opportunity to disrupt my brother Chai's succession ceremony?"

When Bai Yuting said this, he stood out from the crowd.

Naturally, those who came out with him included Bai Zhantang and the other four members of the Five Righteous Men of Xiankong Island.

The six of them are of the same blood and are closer than brothers, so it is natural for them to choose to stand together at this moment.

Bai Zhantang said bluntly: "If you want to fight, we will accompany you, but we have to go to another place. We must not spoil Brother Chai's mood!"

"Yes, you want to arrest my Bai brothers, don't you? Why are you showing off here? If you have the guts, come with us!"

Bai Yutang also said coldly.

"If that's the case, Zhan's name shouldn't be missing from the list of 'imperial criminals'."

Suddenly, a warm and clear voice sounded from the crowd.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome young man wearing a blue robe and carrying a broadsword on his back, walking out slowly.

"Old Zhan!"

"Brother Zhan!"

The Bai brothers greeted each other.

The young man in blue robe was none other than Zhan Zhao.

"Zhan Zhao, you left the world's number one manor without permission, and the prince and the manor owner have not yet investigated, but you want to add an extra crime? Are you planning to make things difficult for the prince and the manor owner for your own selfish reasons? This is such an ungrateful act, I hope you will think twice before you act."

Ling Xiaotian turned his head to look at Zhan Zhao, his expression becoming somewhat ugly.

"Ungrateful? I have never been a member of the No. 1 Manor in the world. What I did was just to repay the help of Manor Master Shangguan. What does it have to do with the Iron-hearted Divine King? Now that I have fulfilled my agreement with the manor master, I will naturally regain my freedom. How can I be ungrateful?"

Zhan Zhao spoke with confidence and every word he said was powerful.

Ling Xiaotian was about to speak again when he heard Chai Xin, who had remained silent since he appeared on the stage, suddenly speak.

"That guy... Ling Xiaotian, right? I heard that you are the new number one Huangzi in Hulong Villa?"

In fact, Chai Xin remained silent in surprise when someone mentioned his identity as "Yellow's No. 1 Secret Agent" after the other party appeared.

He has been thinking.

Of course he remembered that in the original plot of "The World's Number One", there was no such character as "Ling Xiaotian".

The original number one Huangzi was not him, but Gu Santong's wandering son - "Cheng Shifei".

Could it be that my appearance caused a butterfly effect, resulting in an unpredictable turn of events?
This was the first thought that came to Chai Xin’s mind.

But after a brief moment of distraction, he suddenly realized that he had heard of the name "Ling Xiaotian"...

That is the protagonist of the fan fiction "The Heroes"!

Regarding this novel, Chai Xin had actually only read the first few chapters, so he had no idea about the subsequent story direction.

It’s just the name of the protagonist of the story, but I know it after all.

But the impression was too vague, so I thought about it for a moment. In addition, the other party replaced Cheng Shifei in the original work and became Huang Zi's number one spy, so I finally remembered it.

"Exactly."

Ling Xiaotian turned around calmly, a hint of pride on his face.

However, Chai Xin's next words struck him like lightning, and his face suddenly changed.

Chai Xin said slowly, "You have become Huang Zi's number one spy... then... what about Cheng Shifei?"

The three words "Cheng Shifei" directly penetrated Ling Xiaotian's soul, causing his whole body to tremble violently.

The reason for such a violent reaction was not because he cared so much about right and wrong.

But in today's world, Cheng Shifei is just an unknown gangster. Even in the capital city where he lives, few people know him.

How could Chai Xin, the new leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, know about it?
