A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 2241 - 1519: Birthday Banquet (What Fun Thing to Play Recently?) (Part 3)

At this moment on Wudang Mountain, the birthday feast had ended, and with the return of Zhang Cuishan and his wife, various sects came visiting. Additionally, people from Shaolin Temple arrived with questions, creating an extremely tense atmosphere.

Just as both sides were about to make their moves, a Daoist child suddenly entered, holding a message.

"Report, report... the Undying Killer God, Duanmu Huai, has come up the mountain to celebrate Master Zhang’s birthday!"

"What!?"

Upon hearing the Daoist child’s words, everyone from Wudang and the sects questioning them were shocked. Duanmu Huai had been in the North Martial Arts world for a while, but no one expected him to come to Wudang Mountain to celebrate Master Zhang’s birthday. For a moment, everyone had different expressions, and quite a few people from the sects thought Duanmu Huai might plan to attack Wudang Mountain to establish his reputation, looking as though they were ready to watch a good show.

Meanwhile, on the side of the Seven Heroes of Wudang, each one of them wore a serious expression. After all, they had never interacted with Duanmu Huai, nor did they have any relationship with Wudang. Although it was Zhang Sanfeng’s hundredth birthday, and there were naturally martial artists coming up the mountain to celebrate, the title of Undying Killer God was simply too terrifying, and it’s no wonder they were overthinking.

On the other hand, Zhang Cuishan, who had been wandering overseas and had just returned, was quite surprised to see the varied expressions of the people. He couldn’t help but turn to his eldest senior brother Song Yuanqiao and softly ask.

"Elder brother, who is this Undying Killer God, Duanmu Huai? Why does everyone become so strange upon hearing his title?"

"Fifth brother, this you are unaware of..."

Hearing Zhang Cuishan’s inquiry, Song Yuanqiao also sighed and recounted Duanmu Huai’s deeds over this period to Zhang Cuishan. Upon learning that the other party had once killed ten thousand in the West Martial World, Zhang Cuishan was also dumbstruck.

"Elder brother, stop joking, how can such a person exist?"

"This is no joke. Various sects had people witness it first-hand, which is how the title of Undying Killer God came about. It’s hard to say whether his visit to Wudang this time is a blessing or a curse."

After hearing Song Yuanqiao’s statement, Zhang Cuishan also clenched his hands tightly, speaking in a low voice.

"If this Undying Killer God wants to harm our master, I will be the first to disagree."

"Alas..."

At this very moment, a heavy set of footsteps was heard from outside, followed by a loud voice.

"Duanmu Huai has come to wish Zhang Sanfeng, True Person, a happy birthday, wishing Master Zhang happiness as vast as the East Sea and longevity as great as the Southern Mountain... Haha, don’t mind if I’m not versed in poetry and song, I can only say a few words of blessing."

While speaking, they saw Duanmu Huai stride in with a walk like a dragon and a tiger. Without even glancing at the surrounding Jianghu people, he walked directly to Master Zhang, raised his hand, and bowed.

"Greetings, Master Zhang."

Meanwhile, Wang Yuyan and Little Dragon Girl also came over. Although they did not often go out, they knew Zhang Sanfeng’s renown, and both paid their respects together.

"Wang Yuyan of Manduo Manor..."

"Little Dragon Girl of the Ancient Tomb Sect..."

"...wish Master Zhang boundless longevity."

"Hehe, thank you three for coming to celebrate the old Daoist’s birthday..."

Although quite surprised by their arrival, Zhang Sanfeng also smiled and nodded in return. After finishing his respects, Duanmu Huai straightened up, then turned his head to glance at the Jianghu guests. Seeing his gaze, everyone around was taken aback.

Why does this situation feel a bit off?

However, before they could think clearly, Duanmu Huai opened his mouth.

"I heard on the way up that you came here for the Dragon Gate Escort Agency and Xie Xun?"

"... Indeed."

If it were someone else asking, it would have been different, but since the Undying Killer God was asking, they dared not answer. Quickly, Shaolin High Monk Kong Wen nodded, biting the bullet.

"We are here for two things. First, Zhang Wuxia slaughtered seventy-one members of our Shaolin Sect’s Dragon Gate Escort Agency and killed three Shaolin monks. How should these seventy-four lives be accounted for? Also, our fellow Master Kong Jian, merciful and virtuous throughout his life, with no disputes with others, was tragically killed by Golden-haired Lion King Xie Xun. It is said that Zhang Wuxia knows the whereabouts of that surnamed Xie; we request Zhang Wuxia to tell us."

"That can be easily said."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand.

"The annihilation of the Dragon Gate Escort Agency wasn’t done by Zhang Cuishan but by Yin Susu. However, she is now married to Zhang Cuishan and has a son with him. You’re not wrong to look for Zhang Cuishan. As for Xie Xun, that old fellow is on Ice and Fire Island, two hundred miles northeast overseas. The Dragon Slayer Saber is also with him. Do you have any other questions?"

This statement shocked both parties. Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu also had greatly changed expressions. If someone were aware of the Dragon Gate Escort Agency incident, it would be understandable. However, during their time with Xie Xun on Ice and Fire Island, only a few people knew, and no one knew they had returned. How did this Undying Killer God know so clearly?

"Are you sure of your words, benefactor?"

Kong Wen was also dumbfounded, completely unexpected that the matter would be directly revealed by Duanmu Huai. Suspecting that the other party was talking nonsense seemed impossible, seeing Zhang Cuishan’s stunned expression, he knew it wasn’t far from the truth.

"This gentleman..." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Zhang Cuishan came to his senses and was about to speak, only to be waved off by Duanmu Huai again.

"Shut your mouth. Your sworn brotherhood with Xie Xun is your business, none of mine. For Master Zhang’s hundredth birthday, how could it be spoiled by trivial matters concerning Yin Susu and Xie Xun? Oh, speaking of which, also..."

Duanmu Huai turned to Kong Wen, speaking again.

"When you see Xie Xun, tell him something, Cheng Kun, that old fellow, is pretending to be a monk in Shaolin Temple, taking the Dharma name Yuanzhen. If he wants revenge, let him go to Shaolin Temple to find Cheng Kun."
