American Comics: BOSS Invasion

The one being besieged was clearly a martial arts expert, but he was injured, and his moves lacked cohesion. Furthermore, Abbess Miejue's Yitian Sword was incredibly sharp, making him hesitant and constrained in the fight.

After so many years of fighting between the Emei Sect and the Ming Cult, both sides had suffered losses and evolved formations for encirclement in their battles. With the disciples assisting from the side, the large man could no longer hold on. As time passed, his injuries worsened, affecting the agility of his movements.

"Ah!"

His movements slowed by a beat, and his right arm flew off, spraying blood everywhere.

The large man cried out miserably, then suddenly erupted with even greater ferocity, like a trapped beast, roaring and cursing loudly, "You Emei bitches are truly shameless! If you have the guts, fight me one-on-one! What kind of heroes are you to bully the few with the many!"

But no matter what he said, the surrounding Emei disciples remained indifferent, their sword attacks becoming even more fierce.

Before long, they had hacked the large man into a bloody mess.

"Abbess Miejue, do you dare to fight me one-on-one?"

The large man roared again, clearly trying to use provocation to buy himself some breathing room. Although Abbess Miejue was impatient, she was extremely experienced in combat. Now that they had reached this crucial moment, she accelerated her attacks even further.

The large man cursed loudly, his wounds multiplying, turning him into a human sprinkler, spraying blood onto the ground without restraint.

Seeing that the opponent's form was already distorted, Abbess Miejue struck out with a palm, directly sending the large man flying out of the cave, where he crashed onto the ground like a dead dog.

A series of figures flew out of the cave, encircling the large man's corpse in a semicircle.

One of the disciples examined the body briefly.

"Master, he's dead! He has nothing on him to identify his identity. This sneak attack was likely premeditated!"

Abbess Miejue snorted coldly, "Just some well-informed demonic whelps trying to stop the inevitable.螳臂挡车 (trying to hold back a chariot with one's arms) – utterly foolish. Dispose of him!"

Several disciples quickly acknowledged her orders and went about their tasks.

Returning to the formation, Abbess Miejue intentionally glanced at Qi Shan, and seeing that his expression was calm, as if he hadn't seen anything, showing no interest whatsoever, she felt a slight sinking feeling in her heart.

Abbess Miejue was devoted to cultivation and didn't know much about the affairs of the martial world, but even if she was ignorant, she knew something about the immense reputation of Tianxia Manor.

Putting aside everything else, Tianxia Manor must be very wealthy, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to build an army of over 200 shield-sword soldiers.

Moreover, Qi Shan's martial arts were unknown, but he was calm enough. When others encountered a sneak attack, even if they appeared composed, there would still be a hint of anger in their eyes.

This person, however, showed no emotional fluctuations at all, demonstrating the depth of his composure.

It was good that her friend had successors, and fortunately, she was not lacking either. Zhou Zhiruo had emerged out of nowhere, and her aptitude far exceeded her own. As long as she was carefully nurtured, her achievements would surely be no less than hers.

It was a pity that Ancestor Guo Xiang was young and missed the Mount Hua Sword Debate, never receiving the Nine Yin Manual. The Guo family perished alongside Xiangyang, and their family martial arts withered and disappeared.

If she had the assistance of the Nine Yin Manual, the Emei Sect would dominate the world, and those demonic sons and grandsons of the Ming Cult would have been slaughtered until none remained!

After resolving the unexpected situation and setting out again, things were much calmer.

Tianxia Manor proceeded ostentatiously, without making any attempt to conceal their movements, making it clear to everyone that they were heading for Bright Peak.

The convoy was large, the soldiers were fully armed in armor, and their momentum was magnificent.

He found the largest tavern in the city and, as usual, ordered a window seat, laid out a table of wine and food, and ate leisurely.

He pricked up his ears, listening to the surrounding chatter. As expected, there were many martial artists on the streets and in the tavern discussing the grand event of the Six Major Sects besieging Bright Peak.

Sitting not far away, a group of martial arts heroes were drinking quietly when one of them suddenly slapped the table and said, "Recently, I've encountered many martial artists who are all rushing towards Bright Peak. Could it be that the Six Major Sects are really going to besiege the Ming Cult?"

The person next to him laughed and said, "Your news is outdated! The Emei Sect openly raised its banner half a month ago, calling on all righteous people in the world to encircle and suppress the Ming Cult."

"The famous and righteous sects are just this kind of stuff, the troops and horses have not moved and they began to pull big flags, ready to call a group of brainless fools to act as scapegoats, first pave the way a little, and when the Ming Cult's strength is exhausted, the famous sects will come up to pick up the ready-made!"

"I heard that the Ming Cult leader was originally from Wudang, and he is an unparalleled genius. Before the age of 30, he had already become a Xiantian master, defeating all opponents under the heavens. Except for Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang, no one can get any advantage!"

A person at the next table said, "You're just talking nonsense. If the Ming Cult leader was from Wudang, would he still be called the Ming Cult leader?"

"I heard that the Ming Cult and the Six Major Sects have always been at odds!"

A waiter carrying a tray to serve dishes suddenly interjected, "This guest is mistaken. The reason for this can be traced back to decades ago. It has already been hidden in the martial world, and outsiders generally don't know about it, but I have a brother who once went to Wudang to study martial arts. I have been in constant correspondence with her, so I know the inside story very well!"

In this era, waiters also held the title of information peddlers. As long as they were paid enough, they could reveal anything from family gossip to martial arts legends.

Hearing him say this, the guests at the table became interested, and Qi Shan smiled and joined in the fun, raising his hand and throwing over a silver ingot.

"Then tell us about it!"

The waiter grabbed it, his face beaming with joy.

"Sir, rest assured, I will definitely tell you everything I know!"

The waiter bowed, put down the food and wine, and then, like a storyteller, paced back and forth twice, saying, "This matter is a long story. It is said that the current Grandmaster Zhang, the beacon of the martial world, was actually a small novice monk at the Shaolin Temple a hundred years ago."

"It was just that one day, a guest came to the Shaolin Temple, who was none other than Ancestor Guo Xiang, the founder of the Emei Sect!"

"Zhang Zhenren was young, and Ancestor Guo was amiable. The two played together for a while, and Zhang Zhenren secretly developed affection for her."

"After Guo Xiang left Shaolin, Zhang Zhenren directly returned to secular life, wholeheartedly pursuing Ancestor Guo Xiang!"

As soon as this was said, the drinkers widened their eyes, their foreheads written with gossip, and their eyes shining with interest.

Qi Shan was somewhat speechless. Although he didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the martial world, he still knew a thing or two about the main characters in the storyline.

After deliberately suppressing the development of its power, Heavenly Mountain Manor had basically no major impact on the plot. The meeting between Zhang Sanfeng and Guo Xiang, and the events that unfolded, were not much different from the original plot. How did it become a tale of infatuated men and women when it came to the waiter here?

The waiter continued, his eyebrows dancing with excitement, "Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. Although Zhang Zhenren was interested in Guo Xiang, Grandmaster Guo Xiang remained indifferent. She devoted herself to martial arts and never considered romance. Therefore, Zhang Zhenren's desperate pleas were in vain, and he became a Taoist priest in a fit of pique!

But even becoming a Taoist priest couldn't keep him pure and desireless.

Later, after Guo Xiang founded Emei, Zhang Zhenren followed suit and founded Wudang.

This is how two of the current six major sects came to be."

The tavern's patrons erupted in an uproar, finding it unbelievable that two famous sects in the martial world had originated from love.

No wonder one was a Taoist and the other a Taoist nun; they were truly infatuated lovers.

A burly man laughed so hard he bent over, "You're just spouting nonsense! You really dare to say anything! Aren't you afraid of being heard by the people of Wudang, who might split you in two with a single sword strike?"

"How could that be? Wudang is a famous and upright sect; they can't do things like killing innocent people indiscriminately. Besides, what I'm saying isn't entirely false. Even if there are some discrepancies, it's not enough to warrant murder!"

The waiter showed no fear, instead shaking his head with a hint of pride.

"Moreover, I'm not belittling Zhang Zhenren with these words. In my heart, Zhang Zhenren is a great idol, becoming a leading figure in the martial world for the sake of love. This simply makes us descendants look up to him with reverence. Besides, love between men and women is only natural; what's there to hide?"

At this moment, a patron slammed the table, dissatisfied, "We asked you to talk about the Six Major Sects' siege of Bright Peak, so why are you rambling on about Zhang Zhenren's love story? You've strayed too far from the topic!"

The waiter quickly apologized with a smile, "Esteemed guest, please don't be impatient. We need to explain the cause and effect of the story clearly.

Now that we've introduced Zhang Zhenren, let's talk about another character. Decades ago, a master who indiscriminately killed innocent people suddenly appeared in the martial world, leaving behind the words 'The killer is Hunyuan Pili Shou Cheng Kun' at the scene of each crime!"

Several martial artists present showed subtle changes in their expressions upon hearing this name.

Clearly, they knew about this!

"At the time, these major cases in the martial world aroused public outrage. Martial artists searched everywhere, and finally discovered that the real culprit was the Golden Haired Lion King Xie Xun, a Guardian King of the Ming Cult. This Guardian King was a formidable opponent, and it wouldn't be easy to capture him.

The righteous heroes of the white path were obviously aware of this, so they gathered many people. However, an accident occurred during the battle.

The Golden Haired Lion King unleashed a lion's roar, turning all the righteous heroes into idiots. As they left, they also kidnapped Zhang Cuishan of the Wudang Seven Heroes and Yin Susu, the leader of the Ziwu Hall of the Heavenly Eagle Cult.

After the great battle, the three of them disappeared without a trace. About ten years later, someone discovered their whereabouts on Ice Fire Island in the north.

The heroes pursued them, leading to another great battle."

The tavern's patrons listened intently, their eyes wide open.

"They originally thought that Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu, who had been kidnapped, could help them encircle and suppress the Golden Haired Lion King. But they never expected that during these ten years, they had not only reconciled, but had also sworn brotherhood, bowing their heads to the ground. Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu fell in love and became husband and wife, and even had a robust child, with the Golden Haired Lion King as the child's godfather!"

At this point, someone couldn't help but shout, "Is this child Zhang Wuji?"

The waiter immediately gave a thumbs up, "This guest is right. This child is indeed the current leader of the Ming Cult, Zhang Wuji.

That battle on Ice Fire Island was a chaotic and bloody affair.

Zhang Cuishan and his wife naturally wanted to protect Xie Xun, with whom they had a ten-year relationship. The righteous heroes of the white path had been pondering this martial arts case for ten years, neglecting food and drink, and were already on the verge of madness. Now that they saw the real culprit, how could they let him go?

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and Zhang Cuishan and his wife died on the spot. Instead, the Golden Haired Lion King Xie Xun escaped with Zhang Wuji.

Upon returning to the Central Plains, Xie Xun knew that he was an enemy of the martial world, and that Zhang Wuji would not benefit from being with him. Therefore, he risked sending him to Mount Wudang, while he himself returned to Bright Peak to hide!"

Qi Shan shook his head helplessly. It seemed that the subsequent development was similar to the storyline, except that it had been advanced by a few years, making Zhang Wuji the leader of the Ming Cult.

Sure enough, what the waiter said was similar to what Qi Shan had guessed.

"When Zhang Wuji returned to Mount Wudang, his elders naturally sighed with emotion and treated him very well. However, his Aunt Bei'er couldn't stand him, claiming that he was the Golden Haired Lion King's son and not Zhang Cuishan's child at all.

In a fit of anger, Zhang Wuji left home and disappeared ever since. Ten years later, he inexplicably learned a set of unparalleled martial arts, became the leader of the Ming Cult's main altar in Persia, and then returned to the Central Plains, holding six Sacred Fire Tokens and serving as the leader of the Central Plains Ming Cult."

The tavern's patrons sighed, "So that's what happened. Life is truly unpredictable!"

"The story isn't over yet! Zhang Wuji reappeared, his martial arts greatly improved. Under his protection, Xie Xun no longer had to hide in fear!

In order to avenge his parents, Zhang Wuji spent a year constantly challenging the remaining five sects of the Six Major Sects, beating the masters of several sects until they cried for their parents.

Even Shaolin, with its Arhat Formation, couldn't do anything to Zhang Wuji. Therefore, Zhang Wuji's reputation began to spread throughout the martial world!

The Ming Cult took advantage of Zhang Wuji's resounding reputation to launch a rebel army, which grew stronger and stronger. The Ming Cult's prestige also grew stronger and stronger. In contrast, the major sects that Zhang Wuji had trampled underfoot naturally became stepping stones.

They have been suppressed by you to the point where they can't lift their heads. They can't recruit many disciples, and now they have almost reached the point where there are no successors.

Tell me, everyone, how could the leaders of such big Six Major Sects possibly let this go?"

The waiter clapped his hands and concluded, "This is the truth about the Six Major Sects' siege of Bright Peak!"

The surroundings were quiet for a moment, followed by a burst of cheers.

The waiter, with a smile on his face, repeatedly cupped his hands, picked up his tray, and turned to go downstairs.

Qi Shan was somewhat speechless.

So, the Ming Cult Leader Zhang Wuji has completely turned evil?

Is the movie version with Jet Li severely blackened?

That's something to look forward to!

Just then, the watch on Qi Shan's wrist suddenly vibrated.
