"Amitabha Buddha, Heaven cherishes life, so please refrain from rashly resorting to violence."
All the powerful figures from the top-tier rooms stepped forward, without exception, all of them there to protect Li Chengqian.
As a result, the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty was instantly put at a disadvantage.
Murong Fu alone could not possibly support the current situation.
"Humph!"
"The Dragon Guard Manor, Shaolin Temple, the Eastern Depot, the Western Depot, and the Sun Moon Cult—is the Ming Dynasty trying to bully the weak with its strength?"
"Or do you think my Song Dynasty has no one to rely on?"
A calm voice came from room number six.
Then a man wearing a demon mask came out.
His mastery of Grandmaster cultivation was on full display.
Immediately afterwards, a loud dragon roar came from below.
“Mr. Li, you said that Ping An Inn would not be involved in the Jianghu (martial arts world), but now so many forces have emerged. Does this contradict your original intention?”
A square-faced man stood up from the corner, and the people of the Song Dynasty's martial arts world were all delighted to see this.
The identity of the masked demon was unknown to everyone, but everyone was very familiar with this square-faced man.
This person was none other than Qiao Feng, the leader of the Beggars' Sect.
The situation became increasingly dire, and even Old Huang, who had been standing by the door, moved closer to the inside.
Old Huang's actions caused tension among countless people.
The onlookers in the inn were ready to flee, but Li Chengqian remained calm and composed, still smiling.
"Chief Qiao is joking. It is a rule, an ironclad law, that Ping An Inn does not enter the Jianghu. No one can violate it."
"First of all, I thank you all of the Ming Dynasty for supporting me, but the rules cannot be broken."
"No one is an exception, and the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty is no exception."
Li Chengqian's words caused everyone in the Ming Dynasty to frown.
This Li Chengqian is so ungrateful! We came to help him, and he actually said such things.
These words eased the tense situation in the inn somewhat.
Immediately afterwards, Li Chengqian spoke again, saying, "Since I dare to say this, I naturally have my reasons."
"However, before you all ask your questions, there are two things I need to say."
"The world of martial arts is vast and history is like smoke; every dynasty has countless extraordinary people and heroes."
"If we include the dead, we could talk for three days and three nights and still not finish, so is there a problem with me only talking about the living?"
The people of the Jianghu in the Song Dynasty thought about it and found that there was nothing wrong with the request.
Including the dead would indeed be somewhat shameless, and Li Chengqian originally said that the current generation of martial arts practitioners in the Song Dynasty was incompetent.
"No problem, Mr. Li's statement is very reasonable."
The people of the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world) in the Song Dynasty responded loudly.
"Now that the first matter is settled, let me tell you about the second one."
"As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. If even the most prominent figures in the Jianghu of the Song Dynasty have problems, then there's no need to say more."
Faced with Li Chengqian's request, the people of the martial arts world in the Song Dynasty were secretly delighted.
Gee!
If Li Chengqian were to mention some minor or insignificant figure, things would really be difficult for him.
After all, who hasn't done a few bad things while living in the underworld? But this guy just happened to walk right into the line of fire.
Then you can't blame yourself.
Chapter 172 Li Chengqian Angrily Confronts the Heroes, the Five Great Masters of the Song Dynasty Are Annihilated
"That's only right. We've come here to seek justice for the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty."
"However, our strength is meager, and we naturally cannot represent the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty. If we were to comment on the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty..."
"Naturally, we should use those very famous and important figures."
With everyone's unanimous agreement, Li Chengqian's smile grew even brighter.
He waved his right hand and said with a smile, "In that case, please ask your questions!"
Although Li Chengqian's voice was not loud, his imposing presence, which allowed him to stand alone against all the heroes of the world, drew everyone's attention.
Room No. 2, Class 1 (Tianzi)
Inviting Moon's hand tightened involuntarily as she held the teacup.
In terms of appearance alone, Li Chengqian was no less handsome than Jiang Feng back then.
In terms of courage, he dares to face all the heroes of the world alone; how many people in the world can compare to him?
Although Yaoyue still had no intention of making a move, even she didn't realize that her long-frozen heart had skipped a beat.
“Mr. Li, you say that there are no heroes or valiant men in the Jianghu of my Great Song Dynasty.”
"Then I would like to ask, is Master Yideng, who is profound in Buddhist teachings and compassionate, considered a hero?"
Murong Fu spoke first; he wouldn't let anyone else have this opportunity to make a name for himself.
Li Chengqian glanced at him. Having been pressured repeatedly, Li Chengqian was already in a very bad mood.
From now on, he has no intention of giving face to anyone.
"Yideng?"
"Hehehe!"
"Let's leave aside whether his Buddhist teachings are profound or not; you should go and ask him."
"Why did he shave his head and become a monk? Although there were reasons for it back then, can he say he has a clear conscience?"
"After all these years, he is still atoning for his sins."
“A person who cannot even have a clear conscience does not deserve to be called a hero. Yideng can only be considered half a hero at most.”
After saying that, Murong Fu frowned.
I had heard about Yideng's story, but that was all I had heard. Li Chengqian, on the other hand, spoke of it with absolute certainty, as if he had witnessed it firsthand.
He knew all about the secrets of the underworld, including who he really was.
Li Chengqian's words made Murong Fu dare not mention Yideng again. If he continued to press the matter, Li Chengqian might blurt out what happened back then in a moment of panic.
He not only disgraced the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty, but also offended Yideng.
This is something you absolutely must not do.
Murong Fu was defeated, and Qiao Feng cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Li, since you say that Master Yideng cannot be considered a hero."
"Then I would like to ask, Senior Hong Qigong..."
Qiao Feng originally admired Li Chengqian, but he repeatedly said that there were no heroes in the Song Dynasty.
This was something Qiao Feng could not tolerate. He was born and raised in the Song Dynasty, and all his martial arts skills came from the Song Dynasty.
We will never tolerate anyone slandering the Song Dynasty.
Li Chengqian glanced at Qiao Feng and shook his head.
"Chief Qiao, I greatly admire your character."
"But sometimes fate is so ingenious that in the end you will find that the person you have been protecting is also the one who will kill you."
After saying something inexplicable, Li Chengqian bluntly stated, "In my eyes, Hong Qi is not even as good as Yideng."
"Even though Yideng made a mistake, he still knows how to repent."
"What about him?"
"To this day, he remains incorrigible!"
"Hong Qi is known in the martial arts world as the Nine-Fingered Beggar. His finger was not cut off by someone else, but he cut it off himself."
"Back then, he made a mistake because of his gluttony, which ultimately led to the deaths of some people. In response, he cut off one of his fingers as a vow to warn himself."
"But decades have passed, has he changed?"
"Chief Qiao, you are the Grand Chief of the Beggars' Sect. Did I, Li, say something wrong?"
"If I'm not mistaken, can someone who doesn't even correct their mistakes be considered a hero?"
Qiao Feng opened his mouth again and again, but couldn't utter a single word of explanation.
This matter was originally a closely guarded secret of the Beggars' Sect, and with so many years having passed, Qiao Feng had no idea about it.
Now that Li Chengqian mentioned it, Qiao Feng finally remembered.
Yes! As long as Hong Qigong doesn't change this habit, he won't deserve the title of a hero.
Even if he does all the good deeds in the world, he can only be considered half a person.
Before anyone else could ask questions, Li Chengqian immediately started calling out the names of famous figures in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty.
"Who else among the Five Great Masters of the Song Dynasty would you like to ask about?"
"Wang Chongyang?"
"Even if he were still alive, let alone already dead, he wouldn't dare say he has a clear conscience!"
"The Tomb of the Living Dead in Zhongnan Mountain is where he lived his life's regret."
"On the contrary, among the Five Greats, I admire Ouyang Feng the most."
"Although he has killed countless people, his evil is out in the open, so even if he dies, he will make sure you know why."
"He said he'd kill your whole family, and he did. He really does things with integrity and honesty."
"It's a pity that he can be considered a ruthless and cunning villain, but not a hero."
"As for Huang Yaoshi, the only remaining one of the Five Greats..."
