A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 2243 - 1520: Birthday Celebration (This Ben Cat Is So Fat I Can’t Even Roll)
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai say this, everyone’s expression turned sour, and Master Mie Jue clenched her fists, trembling with anger.
"You..."
"What do you mean ’you’, shut your mouth, you old hag with a perpetual menopause."
Duanmu Huai coldly interrupted Master Mie Jue’s words and gave her a glare.
"Today is Master Zhang’s centennial celebration; no blood should be spilled. Otherwise, I would have twisted off your head to use it as a ball. And the rest of you, none of you are any good either!"
Duanmu Huai pointed at the group of Jianghu people, cursing them fiercely, while the latter were frozen in fear, not daring to make a sound.
"Today is Master Zhang’s hundredth birthday. Are you here to celebrate, or to accuse him of wrongdoing? You think Master Zhang is good-tempered and won’t stoop to your level, right? Wang Yuyan, make sure to jot down all the sects that came here to point fingers. In the future, when they host festivities, I’ll pay them a visit too. If I’m not satisfied, I’ll wipe out their entire sect! Let’s see if these bastards still dare to be arrogant! If you don’t want to stay to celebrate, then hurry up and get out of here before getting on my nerves!"
"Yes, sir."
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s request, Wang Yuyan nodded. Though she didn’t practice martial arts, she had read many books, so judging someone’s martial prowess was quite simple for her. Moreover, she agreed with Duanmu Huai; the centennial birthday is such a joyous occasion, yet these Jianghu people were so unruly, choosing this day to cause trouble, which truly annoyed people.
If it were her mother from Manduo Manor, she probably would have been furious enough to turn them into fertilizer.
At this point, the people had already been berated harshly by Duanmu Huai, looking annoyed. Seeing Wang Yuyan picking up the pen, they were even more alarmed. They were all prominent figures in their sects; one can escape, but the sect cannot run! If Wang Yuyan recorded their names, and later that Undying Slaughter God came to find them, who would be responsible?
Without delay, they each used Qinggong, fleeing quickly.
Little did they know that Wang Yuyan was observing them, silently noting down their martial arts styles, recording all of them.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of over a hundred people had left, leaving only a few Jianghu people who genuinely came to celebrate.
The Wudang Sect had a reputable name in Jianghu; if word got out that they were holding a birthday celebration, many would come to congratulate Master Zhang. But Master Zhang himself disliked noise, so it was usually organized internally. Therefore, they hadn’t informed their allies, and hadn’t expected these sects not to adhere to Jianghu ethics, daring to come to Wudang to provoke trouble on Zhang Sanfeng’s centennial celebration, which they deeply regretted.
Seeing everyone had left, the Wudang Sect breathed a sigh of relief. Song Yuanqiao stepped forward and cupped his hands towards Duanmu Huai.
"Thank you for speaking up boldly and helping us."
"You’re welcome. Ultimately, good people are bullied. Your Wudang Sect acts with righteousness and chivalry, attaining great fame, so others are sure you wouldn’t dare discipline them, hence they act presumptuously. Otherwise, Xie Xun is still a Ming Sect member; grudges have a head and debts a master. Would they dare make trouble with the Ming Sect? They’re courting death."
Duanmu Huai scoffed lightly, then glanced around, noticing the birthday gifts presented by various sects, which startled him.
"Oh, right, birthdays naturally require gifts. I came in a hurry and probably didn’t prepare anything..." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
"No need for formality, sir."
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Mo Shenggu quickly spoke up.
"Your willingness to help Wudang avoid this disaster is already a great gift..."
"That’s not right. Those bastards are no good; giving them as gifts to Master Zhang would tarnish his value. Otherwise, I would have twisted off that old hag Mie Jue’s head."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Oh, right, I remember you have a disabled member among the Seven Heroes of Wudang. What’s his name again...?"
Duanmu Huai couldn’t recall the person’s name for a moment, and looked towards Wang Yuyan beside him. She sighed helplessly and whispered.
"Oh, yes, Yu Daiyan. I’ll see if I can heal him; if I succeed, it’ll count as a gift."
"Are you serious, young friend?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, not only were the Seven Heroes of Wudang surprised, but even Master Zhang was taken aback. Master Zhang, who never married, regarded his seven disciples like sons. The injury to Yu Daiyan had always weighed heavily on his heart. Unfortunately, given the era, even the greatest physicians couldn’t heal Yu Daiyan’s wounds.
But now, this Undying Slaughter God claims he can heal him?
"If you truly can heal him, the old daoist will be immensely grateful..."
As he spoke, Zhang Sanfeng motioned for someone to bring out Yu Daiyan.
In the novel, Yu Daiyan’s limbs were completely severed, and later healed with Black Jade Bone Healing Ointment. But Duanmu Huai naturally didn’t have Black Jade Bone Healing Ointment; he had Medical Gel. This thing came from the Star Union and was exceptional at treating external injuries. So now, Duanmu Huai also opened a terminal and scanned Yu Daiyan.
Not knowing Duanmu Huai’s abilities, others watched nearby. They saw him raise his hand, and suddenly a beam of light shot out, scanning Yu Daiyan from head to toe. Then they saw a transparent body appear out of thin air, revealing internal meridians and bones, and were greatly astonished.
What kind of immortal technique is this?
Duanmu Huai looked at the terminal evaluation and nodded, then took out Medical Gel and applied it to Yu Daiyan. Everyone saw him take out something, inject it into Yu Daiyan, then draw back his hand.
"Done."
He’s healed already?
If not for just witnessing that magical scene, everyone would be completely puzzled by now. But even so, they still couldn’t figure out Duanmu Huai’s situation. Suddenly, Yu Daiyan, lying in the soft chair, opened his eyes with a look of shock and then sat up shakily, raising his hand toward Master Zhang.
"Master...!"
"Dai Yan!"
"Third brother"
"Third bro!"
Seeing this scene, the Wudang people were both surprised and delighted; Yu Daiyan had been paralyzed for years, and everyone had long given up hope for his recovery. Unexpectedly, seeing him move today brought immense joy.
"Alright, atrophy of bones and muscles is treatable, just eat and drink more to boost nutrition, as for walking, wait for gradual rehabilitation, there’s really no other method."
Duanmu Huai spoke according to the terminal diagnosis results, after all, this was merely an external injury, not any kind of curse, easily treatable. Yet, to their ears, it sounded like heavenly music. Zhang Sanfeng couldn’t be happier, he cupped his fist towards Duanmu Huai.
"Sir, your grand gesture shames this old man, today is the old man’s birthday, why not stay and join me for dinner?"
Originally, the birthday feast was at noon, but that was for outsiders. In the evening, Master Zhang and the Seven Heroes of Wudang planned a family dinner, now inviting Duanmu Huai and others, clearly treating them as honored guests.
"Then I won’t be polite."
Duanmu Huai came to crash the banquet after all, there’s no reason not to eat, so he naturally nodded in agreement.
Thus, at night the group began another family banquet, though the dishes were ordinary, nothing special. However, Zhang Sanfeng appeared radiant, merely watching Yu Daiyan sitting in a chair, eat by himself, was enough to fill Zhang Sanfeng with immense joy, deeply feeling his centennial birthday was truly worthwhile, and Wudang was filled with gratitude towards Duanmu Huai.
Master Zhang’s hundredth birthday soon became widely known afterward. Those who were friendly with Wudang but failed to attend naturally cursed those sects that caused trouble. The various sects were also speechless since most who came up the mountain were only genuinely there for Dragon Gate Escort Agency business, mainly curious about the Dragon Slayer Saber.
After all, in the martial arts world, it was shrouded in mystery; although no one knew its secrets.
But Duanmu Huai’s words... put an end to this.
They thought there was something about it, but you mean to learn military strategy from the saber to overthrow the Emperor and crown yourself?
So the "slaying the dragon" part of the Dragon Slayer Sword has this meaning?
Goodness, now who would dare to seek the Dragon Slayer Saber! Going for it would imply rebellion!
It’s like common folks privately keeping armor, crossbows, yellow robe, Jade Seal, clearly with the intention of revolt!
Murong Fu’s incident is right there, who wants to rush to their death? Tired of living? Also wanting the joy of exterminating nine clans?
But some still go; people aren’t interested in the saber, but those with grudges against Xie Xun are numerous, a group intent on revenge, gathered as Duanmu Huai said, rented a ship, then set to sea to find Ice and Fire Island.
Of course, the number going to Ice and Fire Island was limited, not everyone could go, thus some turned their attention toward Shaolin Temple.
After all, Duanmu Huai clearly said Cheng Kun is at Shaolin Temple!
Actually, immediately after that banquet, Shaolin’s high monks returned to North Shaolin, imprisoned Yuanzhen. Yet, people wouldn’t let it go, ultimately these events stem from Cheng Kun’s cause, the grudges have origins, without Cheng Kun they wouldn’t suffer ruined homes and lives. Therefore, people kept coming to Shaolin demanding they hand over Cheng Kun for their family’s vengeance!
Shaolin certainly refused killing, stating Cheng Kun was confined, unable to harm again. But those with murdered families wouldn’t rest easy. Moreover, Shaolin initially approached Wudang for Dragon Gate Escort Agency and Master Kong Jian’s affairs, now the culprit here, capturing him ends this? Not even discussing vengeance? How double-standard can this be?
Thus, the Jianghu people refused to let it slide, repeatedly going to Shaolin to pick fights, some relying on their own kung fu tried storming Shaolin to kill Cheng Kun. Turning North Shaolin into chaos, causing disturbance, monks were losing their wits, unsure of what to do.
Initially intending to trouble Wudang, now the trouble befell themselves!
They dared not complain about Duanmu Huai, he already destroyed West Shaolin, if they dare complain here, should Duanmu Huai come displeased—what, are they trying to help Duanmu Huai achieve destroying North, South, East, and West Shaolin merit?
And Duanmu Huai caused such a stir in Wudang, once again making him famed in Jianghu, although this time it wasn’t his slaughtering, but his skills.
Previously, people suspected, wondering how the Undying Slaughter God knew everything, as well as becoming invulnerable, likely a Heavenly Person. Resulting at Wudang Mountain, Duanmu Huai not only barehandedly cracked Heaven Sword and grabbed the Nine Yin Scripture inside, he even used some incredible method to heal Yu Daiyan!
According to guests who hadn’t left then, Duanmu Huai used some kind of strange light to scan Yu Daiyan several times and did something unknown, then the paralyzed Yu Daiyan suddenly was able to stand up!
They even said Duanmu Huai’s hand contained some Immortal treasure capable of view human meridians and bones clearly!
Oh goodness, now Duanmu Huai truly appears to have descended from Heaven!
Such unbelievable things aren’t seen even in East Martial Arts!
Before people called him the Undying Slaughter God out of title, but now... does he really descend as an Immortal?
