"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"
Upon hearing this, everyone already knew whether the matter was true or false.
Moreover, the Tathagata Palm disappeared from the martial arts world long after the fall of the Ancient Sword Soul, with only the Heavenly Crippled Divine Skill remaining.
However, seeing Xingyin take out the secret manual, everyone's hearts were shaken once again.
Nine Yang Divine Art?
The Zhang family's congratulatory gift turned out to be this long-lost, peerless internal martial art.
It should be known that the Nine Yang Divine Skill is an unparalleled internal skill that integrates the essence of Buddhism and Taoism. Its true qi is extremely strong and yang, and it is incomparably domineering.
"Amitabha Buddha, this gift is too precious. Master, please convey my gratitude to young friend Zhang for his kind intentions!"
Zhang Wuji had already received the wedding dress and martial arts transmission from a peerless master, so how could he accept such a precious gift?
"Master, the young master asked me to deliver the items. I will simply deliver them to Wudang Mountain."
As for whether the master wants it or not, he should personally hand it over to you, young master. I have no intention of taking this manual down the mountain.
After tossing the manual aside, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but smile wryly.
The forceful delivery by the Venerable Master Xingyin was so overbearing that even the crowd could feel his domineering nature.
But looking at Xingyin's large size, coupled with the rumors of his bloodthirstiness, this domineering attitude is perfectly normal.
However, the fact that such a powerful figure was so respectful and obedient to this young master Zhang shocked everyone.
"In that case, this old Taoist thanks young friend Zhang for his congratulatory gift!"
The Nine Yang Divine Skill is a unique internal skill, and a top-tier one at that.
The arrival of Xingyin undoubtedly made everyone in the hall feel an inexplicable pressure. Whether in terms of size, prestige, or aura, it was like a lion mixed into a flock of sheep.
Chapter 459 Untitled
"What a fine monk!"
Among the crowd, Zhao Min, as the first Northern Yuan spy to infiltrate the Central Plains, had long admired the Zhang family of the Central Plains.
Rising from humble beginnings in a merchant family, they roamed the world, dominating all of China—a truly legendary feat.
If that were the case, it would be fine. The Zhang family's domineering and benevolent nature is renowned throughout the land, even comparable to the foundation of a thousand-year-old family, rather than being a nouveau riche with no real foundation.
Although people are wary of the Zhang family, no one can say anything bad about them.
The Flying Guillotine: A deadly weapon?
However, the Zhang family always had a just cause and a righteous way of dying, and never killed the innocent indiscriminately.
The name of benevolence and righteousness in Kyushu?
Leaving aside the fact that the Zhang family and Ghost Street spent tens of millions of taels of gold to build the dike, the crops they brought from overseas—sweet potatoes and potatoes—suffered enough to save countless lives.
With at least 100,000 gold coins donated to charity every year, he can be described as a living Buddha to thousands of families!
At least the Zhang family has done an excellent job in business.
"Master Lu, I've heard that the Nine Yang Divine Skill is the nemesis of the Xuanming Divine Palm?"
Suddenly, Zhao Min turned around and looked at the two tall, elegant, and prominent-featured elderly men beside her.
At this time, the two elders of Xuanming were already over sixty years old. Their thin and withered figures no longer showed any characteristics of people from the Western Regions; at most, they were just tall and thin old men.
Originally, the two were Zhao Min's greatest reliance in the Central Plains, but now they are being restrained immediately.
She suspected that the Zhang family might be doing this on purpose.
"The Nine Yang Divine Skill is indeed the nemesis of the Xuanming Divine Palm, but it can only be countered by cultivating it to the great perfection level."
Even within Wudang, perhaps only Zhang Sanfeng possessed the ability to master the Nine Yang Divine Skill in such a short time. Even Song Yuanqiao and his group would need at least three to five years, let alone a mere junior like him!
"Too!"
This was a gift from the Zhang family to the newlyweds, and since Zhang Sanfeng was the one receiving it, it was naturally impossible for them to spread it around carelessly.
It would take at least ten years for a junior to master such a profound and unfathomable martial art as the Nine Yang Divine Skill.
However, the Zhang family's magnanimity is truly admirable.
Even a congratulatory gift is a lost martial arts technique.
The masters who came to offer their birthday wishes were renowned grandmasters in the martial arts world; even the Xuanming Elders beside her were no match for them.
"The Zhang family? It's a pity they can't be used by the empire!"
Zhao Min's purpose in coming to the Central Plains was to fundamentally incite a war of words in the martial arts world and to turn against the incompetent imperial court of the Central Plains.
The Zhang family is the best partner; in terms of both strength and influence, they are the most powerful in the Central Plains.
But she knew that the Zhang family would never do anything to ruin their reputation. Just like back in the Jin Dynasty, the Zhang family handled things in an orderly manner. In the end, the Blood Droplets killed five of the Jin Dynasty's top experts and sent Prince Wanyan to the Quanzhen Sect for imprisonment. The Jin Dynasty did not break ties with the Zhang family.
In theory, the Jin state was ultimately in the wrong.
After all, the Jin Dynasty's imperial tombs were looted by the Golden-Faced Buddha's faction, and the Zhang family had repeatedly helped them escape the Golden-Faced Buddha's murderous intent.
At that time, the Zhang family had just risen to prominence and was no match for the Golden-Faced Buddha.
Ultimately, this proved that the Golden-Faced Buddha was a powerful figure, not someone anyone could afford to offend.
At this moment, Xingyin suddenly stood up again, a chilling divine light sweeping across everyone, and slowly spoke:
"Amitabha Buddha, besides congratulating the newlyweds, I have come here to clarify another matter:"
Most of the benefactors probably don't know this, and those who do are probably speculating about the relationship between the Zhang family and the bride.
In reality, everything the Zhang family did was merely compensation.
Back then, you all know what happened when the young master tried to establish connections with the Zoroastrian Church in Persia, and opinions on this matter were mixed throughout the martial arts world.
Upon hearing this, everyone, including Zhao Min, looked towards the center.
Most people present did not think Zhang Xiaoshan had done anything wrong. Back then, Dai Qisi, the Purple-Robed Dragon King, was neither a relative nor a friend of the Zhang family, nor a fellow martial artist.
Betraying a "demon cult witch" like Dai Qisi could open up the golden sea route to the Persian Zoroastrian Church. They would all make the same choice as Zhang Xiaoshan, only the reputation would be somewhat affected.
Moreover, Dai Qisi doesn't have a good reputation either. She is the Purple-Robed Dragon King of the Demonic Sect and the newly debuted Golden Flower Granny, both of whom are evil figures.
Most importantly, Daisy herself was an apostate and a despicable traitor.
Therefore, most people in the martial arts world do not discuss the Zhang family in this matter!
At this moment, the experts from the Dragon Guard Manor, the Six Doors, and the Plum Blossom Guard were startled and suddenly realized what was going on.
Compensation? Daisy?
They finally learned the 'reason': the mysterious bride was actually Dai Qisi's daughter.
If that's the case, then everything Zhang Xiaoshan did can be barely explained.
Zhang Xiaoshan betrayed Dai Qisi and gained huge profits back then. Feeling guilty, it is only reasonable for him to compensate her daughter.
As for why he didn't choose to kill them to silence them?
Zhang Wuji is the son of Zhang Cuishan. Given the relationship between the Zhang family and Wudang Mountain, it's impossible for them to break their alliance over a little girl.
The one who benefits is Zhang Wuji, because the Zhang family still cares about Xiao Zhao's desire for revenge. In this way, the Zhang family does not have to worry about the threat of a little girl with mediocre martial arts skills.
Similarly, if Zhang Wuji benefits, Wudang will be extremely grateful to the Zhang family.
Those who thought they had figured it out immediately realized how skillful Zhang Xiaoshan was, as if he had calculated everything perfectly.
This not only made amends for the mistakes of that year, but also strengthened the ties between the Zhang family and Wudang.
Moreover, after today, people will no longer be able to use this incident to criticize the Zhang family.
Ultimately, what happened back then was merely a moral failing for the Zhang family, not some heinous crime. Compared to the compensation they offered, it was extremely generous, and no one could say anything against it.
"Although you don't think you did anything wrong, you still feel guilty."
Therefore, as compensation, the young master gifted Dai Qisi's daughter, who is now the newlyweds, the Nine Yang Divine Skill!
"Young Master Zhang is benevolent and righteous!"
"It wasn't Young Master Zhang's fault back then. The Nine Yang Divine Skill is also a peerless internal skill. This matter should be settled and all grudges forgotten!"
"So that's why Wudang suddenly held a grand wedding for three generations of disciples!"
···
Even Zhao Min, upon hearing the reason, couldn't help but sigh at the Zhang family's scheming.
They also looked at Zhang Wuji with envy; the mere compensation was a peerless internal skill, which showed how extraordinary he was.
"Xiao Zhao is Fourth Sister's daughter, hahaha... What a good girl! What a good niece! And even more so, a good granddaughter-in-law!"
Upon hearing this, Yin Tianzheng, the White-browed Eagle King, burst into laughter.
·········Requesting flowers·· 0
I never expected that my granddaughter-in-law would be the descendant of an old friend. In this way, we can take care of each other, which is a match made in heaven!
As for the others, they looked at Zhang Wuji with envy.
Only Zhang Wuji and Xiao Zhao knew that Zhang Xiaoshan had reported Dai Qisi back then, but then rescued her and became their stepfather.
"Please convey Wuji's thanks to the young master!"
Besides Zhang Sanfeng, Song Yuanqiao, and Zhang Cuishan, who knew the details, the other seven heroes of Wudang also felt that it was best to resolve this matter.
Moreover, it was the Zhang family that bowed their heads, displaying their magnanimity!
"In that case, I shall take my leave."
The bustling hall was too noisy for Xingyin, so she excused herself and turned to leave.
Infinite Heavenly Lord!
Zhang Sanfeng watched Xingyin leave, never expecting Zhang Xiaoshan to pull such a stunt at the last minute.
However, this is a good thing. Once the matter is brought up, everyone's attention will be diverted from Xiao Zhao. Coupled with the deterrent effect of the Zhang family and Wudang, who would dare to lay a hand on a little girl?
As for Zhang Wuji?
With the True Qi of the Wedding Dress and the Nine Yang Divine Skill, although it cannot be said that he has reached the level of a Grandmaster, he will be rarely matched among peerless masters.
Xingyin's departure had no impact on the others, but it ignited a storm in the martial arts world, and the news quickly spread beyond Wudang.
The many forces that had initially harbored doubts suddenly realized the truth.
But then they stopped paying attention. This was just a show put on by the Zhang family to further strengthen their alliance with Wudang. What did it have to do with them?
Only Zoroastrianism might be concerned with this.
Because of the Purple-Robed Dragon King Dai Qisi, he might target Xiao Zhao and then take revenge on the Zhang family.
"Pure Yang Finger!"
Inside the bridal chamber, the newlyweds, who should have been entering the bridal chamber, were instead curiously looking at the secret manual in their hands.
After Zhang Wuji finished reading the Nine Yang Divine Skill, the next chapter of the ultimate technique truly surprised him.
The Pure Yang Finger is an unparalleled martial art!
If there were any martial arts techniques in the martial arts world today that could be ranked alongside the Tathagata Palm and the Heavenly Crippled Divine Skill, it would definitely be the Pure Yang Finger, not the Dragon Slaying Saber Technique.
No matter how powerful the Dragon-Slaying Saber Technique is, the mystery of the Pure Yang Finger lies not in its lethality, but in its ability to bring the dead back to life.
In addition, the Pure Yang Finger technique, with its unparalleled sharpness, has always been Zhang Xiaoshan's signature martial art.
"I never expected my stepfather to be so generous, even giving me the Pure Yang Finger!"
Xiao Zhao was stunned when she found out that Zhang Xiaoshan was her stepfather.
It was bad enough that her biological mother wasn't around, but now she's also found herself a stepfather?
If it weren't for Master Mingchen looking for her later, and Zhang Wuji's experiences in the capital, Xiao Zhao would definitely have found it hard to accept this reality.
But she feels much better now; at least she can see Zhang Xiaoshan's sincerity.
Moreover, with a powerful maternal family as her backing and such a generous dowry, she would not be inferior to others in Wudang Mountain.
Moreover, with the martial arts taught to her by Master Mingchen—the Nine Yin Manual—along with a bottle of the Perfect Tonic Pill, her martial arts skills improved greatly in a short period of time.
"The Pure Yang Finger on this is just a peerless martial art. To reach the level of an unparalleled skill, one needs a continuous flow of Pure Yang Purple Qi, which even Grandmaster cannot achieve."
