Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1751 - 406: Chen Jiusi: What? Master Zhang Wants to See Me? (2)

However, this seemed incorrect. How could a monk, especially one nearing sixty with deceased parents, no wife, and no children, possess family ties? What could Chen Jiusi possibly use to threaten him?

The Righteous Sect found themselves perplexed, and the Zoroastrian Sect shared the same bewilderment.

Lei Ming frowned, questioning, "What is Master Kong Wen doing? Why did he surrender so suddenly? What tactic did Chen Jiusi employ?"

Fang Zheng, also confused, replied to Lei Ming, "Uncle Lei, I cannot comprehend it either!"

Fang Susu, standing nearby, offered, "Regardless of the reason, Master Kong Wen's surrender benefits us. With his concession, we have triumphed over the Six Great Sects, and the Little Ming King will now be safe."

Nodding in agreement, Lei Ming and Fang Zheng echoed, "Yes, Susu is correct. Regardless of Chen Jiusi's method, his successful challenge to the Six Great Sects means we can protect the Little Ming King, fulfilling the Dragon King's mandate."

With this thought, the three of them displayed pleased expressions.

Behind them, Liu Caidie, Han Ling'er, and the others, witnessing Master Kong Wen's surrender, wore smiles, though unsure how Chen Jiusi had achieved victory. The main sentiment was relief that with this win, Brother Ming King would be protected.

While everyone else smiled at this prospect, Du Xiong's brow furrowed slightly. Having also cultivated the Golden Bell Shield, he seemed to grasp something others missed.

Among the gathered individuals, another who had deduced the truth was Song Yuanqiao of the Wudang Sect, known as Hero Song.

One should not underestimate Song Yuanqiao. His brilliance was often overshadowed by the presence of Zhang Sanfeng, leading many to believe he merely coasted on his sect's reputation, lacking talent and appearing quite ordinary.

Yet, Song Yuanqiao was far from mediocre; on the contrary, he possessed a keen intellect.

His misfortune was having Zhang Sanfeng as his master.

This situation was akin to many second-generation celebrities who must strive exceptionally hard, like Guo Qilin, to shed the label of being Guo Degang's son.

Moreover, a crucial prerequisite for such distinction is escaping the gravitational pull of their famous parent's influence. If Guo Qilin had only focused on cross-talk, distancing himself from traditional comedic forms, it would have been difficult to escape Guo Degang's shadow, as comparisons would inevitably arise.

The disparity would be evident.

Song Yuanqiao found himself in a similar predicament. As Zhang Sanfeng's successor, he was constantly compared to the legendary Old Zhang by those in the martial arts world. But who was Old Zhang? He was akin to an earthly immortal.

His radiance was overwhelming, completely eclipsing Song Yuanqiao's own light when placed side-by-side.

It was a case of, how could a faint glimmer compete with the sun and moon!

Despite this, Song Yuanqiao was not without his own merits. Compared to the leaders of the other Five Great Sects, he stood considerably higher. His ranking second on the Earth List was somewhat hindered by the difficulty in mastering Wudang's Shaoyang Skill. However, if he were to break through its limitations and reach the Melt God Realm, even the formidable Mother Gu of the Five Poison Sect would be no match for him.

Furthermore, among the Six Great Sects, with the exception of Kong Wen himself, none could truly rival him, not even Master Jue Mie.

Over the years, his constant proximity to Old Zhang had imbued him with a wealth of martial arts knowledge beyond the reach of most in the Jianghu. For instance, he was aware that unless the Golden Bell Shield was cultivated to the Twelfth Layer of Perfection, a fatal weak point would always remain. Such subtle secrets were within his grasp.

Now, with Master Kong Wen's abrupt surrender, Song Yuanqiao, after careful consideration, understood the situation.

Zhang Cuishan stepped forward, inquiring, "Senior Brother, Master Kong Wen was clearly in a superior position. Why did he choose to surrender?"

Song Yuanqiao responded softly, "Perhaps Chen Shaohua discovered his vulnerable point."

"Vulnerable point?"

Zhang Cuishan looked puzzled. "Isn't it commonly believed that after the Sixth Layer of the Golden Bell Shield is achieved, there are no more weak spots?"

Song Yuanqiao explained, "That is the official Shaolin doctrine. However, in the martial arts world, knowledge of the advanced stages of the Golden Bell Shield is primarily held by Shaolin disciples. If Shaolin were to propagate a falsehood, would these very practitioners of the Golden Bell Shield expose them?"

Hearing this, Zhang Cuishan's eyes widened in realization.

Indeed, those who practiced the Golden Bell Shield feared nothing more than their weakness being revealed. If all practitioners unanimously perpetuated a grand deception, they would fiercely protect it, rather than expose the Shield's hidden flaws.

They would be eager to keep it concealed!

Finally grasping the implication, Zhang Cuishan was filled with shock. "How could Shaolin perpetrate such a deceit? Aren't monks known for their honesty?"

Song Yuanqiao looked at Zhang Cuishan and stated, "A single lie, if it saves a Shaolin monk's life, could be construed within Buddhism as an act of saving others and accumulating merit."

"And how can you be sure that this information was released by Shaolin?"

Song Yuanqiao gazed at Zhang Cuishan, whose mouth hung agape. Indeed, what basis was there to guarantee Shaolin was the source of the leak?

Without concrete proof, how could they possibly accuse Shaolin? Such an accusation would be pure fabrication, conjuring tales from thin air.

Zhang Cuishan’s gaze remained fixed on Song Yuanqiao as he questioned, "No, Senior Brother, how is it that no one else in the Jianghu knows the truth of this matter, yet you do?"

Song Yuanqiao offered a smile, "Master conveyed this information."

That single statement instantly dispelled all of Zhang Cuishan's doubts. To the disciples of Wudang, their Master was akin to a deity, his words capable of resolving any enigma.

At this juncture, Yin Liting stepped forth, his inquiry directed at Song Yuanqiao, "How did Chen Jiusi discover Master Kong Wen’s vital point?"

As this question was voiced, Song Yuanqiao's eyes gradually intensified, and he responded, "It must have been through the two palms he delivered against Kong Wen. We were all deceived by Chen Jiusi, believing those palms to be direct attacks. However, their true intent was to ascertain the precise location of Master Kong Wen’s vital point."
