e weapons in their hands alone, was enough to deter attacks from all directions.

 

The two sides were in a deadlock.
North and West smiled at each other before combining their efforts to attack the enemies straight ahead.
Although there was no internal strength supporting each of their moves, their movements had become much faster and more accurate.
In addition, they had enough power in their arms as they quickly attacked the enemy with a force to smash bamboo.
Their action drove the Lihen Palace maids to retreat outside the door. Please read this chapter at xinshou blogspot com.

 

As the head of the Four Great Guardians, East Guardian was fully aware that trying to score a win by just physical moves was not a long-term solution.
Once the enemies adapted to the duo's fast movements, they would soon turn their defence into attack.
It wouldn't even be a surprise that North and West, without their internal strength, would lose the battle by then.
The only way now was to take advantage of this chance to escape first.

 

Thinking of this, East Guardian immediately winked at South Guardian.
They then lifted the unconscious Chu Changge and jumped out of the window.
Seeing this scene, Yun Si Niang instantly grabbed Lu-er and jumped down after them.
Li Wunai was about to jump out of the window when he suddenly noticed that a maid had raised her sword and aimed to stab North Guardian's back from the corner of his eyes.
In an instant, Li Wunai kicked a leg of a table, blocking his way, and it knocked away the sword in the maid's hand.
He then spun around to catch it back and join in the fight.

 

“Thank you.” North Guardian retreated to Li Wunai's while still feeling thrilled as he asked, “Great Master, what are you doing here?”

 

Li Wunai treated the leg as a staff.
He waved it forward imposingly while resoundingly uttering these words.
“Delivering you guys out from your torment.”

A few black lines appeared on both North and West's foreheads.
“Great Master, you are great.” North Guardian spoke as he didn't know whether to laugh or cry in that situation.

 

“Delivering all beings from their torments is the ultimate goal of us monks.
You are just two grains of dust among the multitude of beings that I will enlighten.
Please don't shed any tears of gratitude.
It will only make you look too filthy.” Li Wunai said ruthlessly while defending himself from the enemy.

 

“……” Great Master, you are actually here to be funny, right?

 

As the saying went, there was unity in strength.
With Li Wunai's participation, the combined power of the zero internal force trio soared.
Especially the accuracy of the makeshift 'Shaolin staff' that could simply catch up with the beggars' group's dogfighting stick style.
Nonetheless, not having internal force was not enough since they could not give the enemy a fatal blow.
This made the battle turn into an evenly matched, stalemate situation.

 

At this time, they saw South, East and the others, who had escaped out of the window, hurriedly return to the inn.
They were closely followed by anti-Mojiao martial arts groups, aggressively shouting⸺'Eradicate the Mojiao Sect to enforce justice on behalf of Heaven'.

 

Li Wunai's heart sank, and he couldn't help but curse, “Misfortune does not come singly.”

 

But North Guardian interjected, “Humph! Just in time.
I'll take care of all of them together!!”

 

“You can't do that right now.
Don't forget that you've lost all your internal strength.
With this red tassel spear in your hand, you can only deal with these women in front of you.
If you encounter a real expert, you will be done.” Li Wunai reminded North Guardian to be calm.

 

North Guardian reluctantly let out a long sigh.
He retrieved his red tassel spear, turned over and leapt down the stairs.
West Guardian also followed closely behind and joined South, East and the others.
When the maids of the Lihen Palace saw the situation, they made a move to go after them, but they were stopped by Li Wunai.
“As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam grapple, the fisherman stands to benefit.
If I were you, I would move a chair, pour myself a cup of tea, and then watch the show high up on the stage.
Just like the old fisherman, who has been waiting patiently, you will gain the most benefit when both parties downstairs defeat each other.” Li Wunai smiled.

 

“With your current strength, can you fight the experts of the major factions downstairs in a two-way fight?” One of the maids asked disdainfully.

 

Li Wunai was embarrassed.
Although he was dissatisfied with her arrogant and disdainful attitude, her words did draw blood at first prick.
According to the current situation, it was difficult for both sides to lose, let alone for his side to win.
Unless a miracle happened where Chu Changge suddenly woke up.
Otherwise, it was unavoidable for his side to lose.
Thinking about Chu Changge, Li Wunai could not help letting out a long sigh. After sleeping for so long, can't you just get up and stretch your muscles? Otherwise, it's okay to even sleepwalk! At least it can scare these people.

 

So long as Chu Changge could now open his eyes, even if he was just standing there without saying a word, he could still scare the sh*t out of these righteous people.

 

Did they say to enforce justice on behalf of Heaven? They were just merely taking advantage of others' misfortune.

 

Such vile behaviour!

The more Li Wunai thought about it, the more depressed he became.
He bitterly threw down the table leg and then walked downstairs step by step while holding up his head and throwing out his chest.

 

When everyone downstairs saw Li Wunai walking down calmly and slowly, they stopped all the commotion and stared at him.

 

In the face of the people's attention, the pressure that Li Wunai felt was⸺quite overwhelming.

 

“You've recovered your martial arts skills?” Yun Si Niang couldn't help but greet him and ask quietly.

 

Li Wunai answered quietly, “No.”

 

“Really?” Yun Si Niang looked puzzled.
“But the way you strut makes it like you were hiding something.”

 

“I'm not strutting.
I just want to feel the taste of being on the ground more while still alive.
After I become an immortal, there will be fewer opportunities for me to walk with my feet.” Li Wunai said unusually calmly as if he was already prepared to 'pass away'.

 

“Become immortal? Becoming a ghost is more likely!” Yun Si Niang couldn't even bear to spare him any glance as she then walked away from him with disgust towards South, East, North and West.

 

Li Wunai touched his nose resentfully.
He was shunned like this for just walking a few steps?

 

When Li Wunai was lamenting in his heart about the warmth of human feelings and the coldness of the world, he suddenly heard someone say—

 

“Abbot Master, since Shaolin Temple is a respected authority in the martial arts world, it certainly should not get involved with the Mojiao Sect.
How can you stand up to the centuries-old reputation of Shaolin Temple if you are unable to distinguish right and wrong by wallowing in the mire with the Mojiao Sect?”

 

Being named, Li Wunai was flabbergasted for a moment and then overjoyed.
How could he forget that he had another identity? With his status as Shaolin abbot, they could not hurt him.
Maybe, he could also use this identity to help everyone out of danger.

 

Where the hills and streams end and there seems no road beyond, amidst the shading willows and blooming flowers, another village appears.

 

Seeing that things had taken a new turn, Li Wunai's vitality immediately turned a hundredfold.
He put both of his palms together, recited 'Amitabha Buddha', and then pronounced every word correctly in a mellow voice.
“The world is so muddy, where justice has difficulty distinguishing between good and evil.
There is neither absolute evil nor absolute good in this world.
Only those who have an evil or a good heart.
This poor monk has spent many days with the people of the Mojiao Sect and found that their hearts were full of goodwill.
They are not traitors, nor are they villains.
All of you should not listen to slanderous words and harm the innocent.”

 

All the major factions present to denounce Chu Changge fell into silence.
They did not know how to refute his words.
